In Campo's mountaintop camp
BAGUIO CITY—"Did Campo let you sleep?" Des Bautista teased by text at mid-morning. "He stayed there with his wife and youngest son when school was out."
"He playfully pulled what's left of my hair like he did when it was longer than his," I texted back." "Other than that, he let me catch a few winks."
Des is a son of Fernando "Tatang" Bautista, the trailblazing educator who founded University of Baguio. Campo, of course is the late Florencio Campomanes, an erudite UP professor and the country's first national chess master before becoming president of the Fide, the World Chess Federation from 1982 to 1995.
The duo built a Rock of Gibraltar-like friendship. Campo died on May 3, 2010, not in any of the far-away places he lighted up with his celebrity as Fide head, but aboard an ambulance from Iggy's, a homey inn and restaurant owned by Des on Baguio's pine-clad South Drive.
Campo called Iggy's home until he lost a protracted battle with cancer. With a friendly staff and sisig and kilawen tangingue to die for, Iggy's consists of six rooms and four apartments in two terra cotta buildings.
Room 1 at Iggy's where my wife and I stayed is the one in Des' yarn. The room was made readily available for Campo whose official Baguio residence was apartment B. That's where he healed from a debilitating car mishap in Turkey in 2007, and spent his last days as Fide honorary president for life.
"Can I walk through Apartment B, the guy's shrine?" I had asked Des over beer at the ritzy Manor Hotel. "You don't have to, all of Iggy's is his shrine," he replied.
In fact, a hall past Iggy's kitchen houses the chess aristocrat's memorabilia—from framed pictures of him with presidents, Arab sheiks and African royalty, to his original campaign brochures when he ran and won the Fide presidency in 1982, the only Filipino to achieve that position.
Along with the rat pack of sportswriters years ago, I came to know Campo and hung out occasionally with him and Rudy Tan Cardoso, his PH teammate in two chess Olympiads. With an almost shoulder-length hair, Campo was spellbinding when he talked and spirited in poker games with then fellow young scribes like Ding Marcelo, Jun Engracia and Al Mendoza.
I left the sports beat before his Fide run, but I saw the man again when he was president sometime in the mid-1980s, when I dropped by his talk before the Santa Monica (California) Chess Club.
Campo ran the Fide with a firm hand, his term punctuated by the expansion of member countries from 100 to 150, and the unprecedented rise of chess' popularity globally.
Controversy, including the termination of the 1984-1985 world championship between Anatoly Karpov and Gary Kasparov without a final result after 48 games, hounded him a bit.
"But Campo was unflappable," reminded Des, who as Baguio alderman helped his bosom buddy pull off the 1978 world championship between Karpov and Victor Korchnoi in this mountaintop city. The classic match was his baptism of fire and ticket to a tight circle of Campo advisers.
His bond with Campo was affirmed by the bereaved family after the deceased's cremation.
"The six children decided to divide the ashes into seven to include me as a recipient," Des said. "Campo's ashes here are at the ossuary at the back of the Baguio Cathedral, along with Nanoy (Potenciano) Ilusorio's."
The wealthy Ilusorio, president of the Baguio County Club from 1972-1999, rewarded Campo with membership at the exclusive enclave.

This morning, a young man walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., after murdering his mother in her home, and proceeded to shoot and kill 26 other people, including 20 children, before killing himself.
What else can I say, girls, other than, "How could anyone do such a thing?" I have no answer for that, because I truly can't imagine. But I know we need to talk about it—discuss our grief and our anger and our pain. And then, we need to start talking about change. What can we do for the families? For the victims? For the community of Sandy Hook and Newtown? For our own communities as they wonder if they're next? And what can we do to ensure that something so terrible never, ever happens again?
I don't have answers, darlings, but I do know that talking will help. Talk to your parents and siblings and friends and teachers. Speak honestly and openly. Don't judge others for what they say, just listen and respond. Remember, everyone's opinion is valid and deserves to be expressed, whether you agree with it or not.
If you're having trouble dealing with your grief, please take a look at this post, and talk to a parent, counselor or trusted adult.

Everything you need to understand or teach Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban.
Riddley Walker is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel written by Russell Hoban and published in 1980. The novel is unique in its style and focus, as the narrator, Riddley, relates the narrative in a distinct dialect where the spelling resembles a phonetic transliteration of a Kentish accent. Author Russell Hoban began writing the award-winning novel based on inspiration by the medieval wall painting of Saint Eustace at Canterbury Cathedral.
Riddley Walker Lesson Plans contain 148 pages of teaching material, including:

The Left front is going through a churn. The big questions before it – what it should do if election results leave it no other option, but to support the Congress in order to keep the BJP-led NDA alliance out of power or, vice versa, take the support of Congress?
While the major constituents of the Left Front – the CPI (M) and the CPI – have been keeping a distance from the Congress, West Bengal's former chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, let the cat out of the bag when, in an interview, he acknowledged that if the need arises in a post-poll scenario, the Left Front would be open to align with the Congress.
CPI leader AB Bardhan asserted that he did not agree with Buddhadeb's assessment and such a question does not arise now because the Third Front is going to emerge as a viable option in the post-poll scenario. Privately, Left leaders admit that what Buddhadeb said was not wrong but the timing was bad.
The Left parties are visualising two scenarios in case NDA falls short of the mark to form the government. First, a 2004-like situation, where the Congress manages to get 140 plus seats and is in a position to stake claim to form the government with the help of Left parties, and possible Third Front constituents. In such a case, the Left is expected to do a repeat of imposing the Common Minimum Programme (CMP) as a must for the Congress to get its support.
The other scenario could be a situation like that of 1996, where the Third Front gets into a position to stake claim to form the government with Congress' help. In such a scenario, the Left parties will force the Congress to get into a promise of not to repeat its mistake of 1997 when Sitaram Kesri withdrew support and ended the United Front's dream run abruptly.

Hyper-masculinity is a gender-based ideology of exaggerated beliefs about what it is to be a man. HM consists of four inter-related beliefs, namely toughness as emotional self-control, violence as manly, danger as exciting, and calloused attitudes toward women and sex (Zaitchik & Mosher 1993). Adherence to HM is linked to a host of social and health problems in North America, such as dangerous driving and violence toward women (Parrot & Zeichner 2003). Advertising is believed to play a role in constructing hyper-masculinity (Kilbourne 1999). In this study, eight U.S. men's magazines published in 2007–2008, differentiated by readership age, education, and household income, were analyzed for hyper-masculine depictions in their advertisements. Using a behavioural checklist with good inter-rater reliability, it was found that 56 % (n = 295) of 527 advertisements depicted one or more hyper-masculine beliefs. Some magazines depicted at least one hyper-masculine belief in 90 % or more of advertisements. In addition, reader age, education, and income were all inversely related to the prevalence of hyper-masculine beliefs, with HM depictions presented more often in advertisements targeting young, less educated, and less affluent men. Implications of these findings for the well-being of men and society are discussed.

Ben Becker: CBS finally catches up with reality
CBS finally is acknowledging what the rest of us have known for years — 60 Minutes often comes on at least 30 minutes late.
The network has announced it will list the scheduled start times for its prime time programming 30 minutes later on doubleheader weekends.
This is in response to the NFL moving its 4:15 p.m. games to 4:25 p.m.
The shift also will affect The Amazing Race, The Good Wife and The Mentalist — by a half-hour on days the network airs an NFL doubleheader. It also is good news for frustrated viewers who have missed their favorite shows for years because games ran long and their DVR's would not reflect reality.
The network also unveiled a multi-platform upgrade to the CBS Eye-lert system, which informs viewers of any further adjusted start times which are likely since games easily can run longer than three hours.
The dates affected are as follows: Sept. 16 and 23; Oct. 7 and 21; Nov. 4 and 18; and Dec. 2, 16 and 30.
While we are in the throes of football season, there is this other sport called hockey that is on thin ice.
The National Hockey League collective bargaining agreement expires Saturday, which is bad news for NBC. The NHL is the flagship programming of the fledgling NBC Sports Network. Comcast-owned NBC is forking over $200 million dollars a year for the next 10 years to televise hockey and would be hard-pressed to find comparable content to show on NBCSN.
The NHL players union is being led by Donald Fehr. If that name sounds familiar, it should. He is the same Donald Fehr that headed the Baseball players association in numerous labor fights.
Alabama at Arkansas (3:30 p.m. CBS): This game lost some luster after Arkansas took the second-largest fall out of the AP college football poll, dropping from eighth to unranked after losing to Louisiana-Monroe.
Notre Dame at Michigan State (8 p.m. ABC): A win here will go a long way towards solidifying the Spartans as the best team in the Big Ten — not that it means much these days.
Raiders at Dolphins (1 p.m. CBS): The woebegone Dolphins actually have all the intangibles in their favor. West Coast teams historically struggle when they come east for 1 p.m. games, the Raiders will be wearing their familiar black jerseys in the South Florida heat and Ryan Tannehill can not possibly throw three more interceptions like he did against Houston, can he?
Jets at Steelers (4:25 p.m. CBS): Mark Sanchez gets his chance to prove the naysayers wrong again. The revitalized Jets offense faces the previously vaunted Steelers defense that was carved up by Peyton Manning last week.
Nationals at Braves (8:05 p.m. ESPN): Washington is on pace to win 100 games and make the postseason for the first time since the 1933 World Series. They have enough of a cushion to withstand a stumble in this series against the second-place Braves, who are fighting to make the playoffs.
Broncos at Falcons (8:30 p.m. ESPN): Could this be a possible Super Bowl preview?

Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this
Bought my 2014 Dodge Caravan in February 2014 NEW, recently in June we notice the Air Condition wasn't blowing cold on the driver side only. Took our van to the dealership on July 23rd and our van is still there 20 days later. It took over a week to diagnose the problem; they had to consult with the factory in Detroit, which told them to replace the whole AC system. Our Van is still at the dealership, it ridiculous how long it taking to fix

These are all good questions, IMO. Enter Dusty freakin' Baker. And welcome in as well, Mr. David Price.
These are all good questions, IMO. Enter Dusty freakin' Baker. And welcome in as well, Mr. David Price.
In the Stubbs intangible argument, I am not talking about some nebulous sub-conscious effect (like the "Ks make a batter feel dominated" comment by wheelhouse.) I am saying that if I was a pitcher, and I felt that my hard hit mistakes would often lead to outs, I would challenge every hitter except those with significant power.
#Indians manager Terry Francona just said Michael Brantley will play LF. Drew Stubbs will play RF.
Conversely, if I gave up a bloop single that a CF dove to get, only to have the ball roll to the wall for a triple? That would have my blood pressure skyrocket.
The things that get into my head are my mistakes... be they walks or hard hit balls. If i give up a hard hit ball that I think is gonna be extra bases for sure and turn to see Stubbs calmly camping in front of it, I would relax.
Plus, while we know wins are an unreliable measure of pitching performance, pitchers still care about them, so the score of the game can have a psychological impact in that sense as well.
"I can make all the stadiums rock."
-Air Supply
I do not see any reason that the typical pitcher would press more down a run than up a run. Personally, it would seem more reasonable to presume a pitcher will press more in an effort to hold a lead.. then the game depends more on him. If you are down a run, you could be perfect and still lose.
Although this makes complete sense (and I agree with you), many pitchers can't grasp this and apply it during the game setting. I've seen pitchers groove through the first half of a game, give up a bloop single (with none or 1 out) and let that spiral into a rough inning. I think this has to do mostly with the pitcher's psyche. Giving up a bloop hit off the hands on an otherwise great pitch is frustrating.
cincrazy (02-12-2013)
The Reds "D won many games for them last year, and it was rare to see a game slip away because of a ball that fell in the outfield, or was pushed over the fence. BUT, I cannot imagine, if these intangibles that Stubbs has were a significant factor, that many teams in baseball would not covet Stubbs.
Given that the Indians just signed Bourn, Stubbs doesn't appear to posses enough intangibles to have a team want to start him on a daily basis.
That being said, I will be surprised if Bruce doesn't end up in center. IIRC, he played there for 20 games or so his rookie year. Choo sounds about as sure of himself out there as I do of him - which isn't saying much.
Cursh14 (02-15-2013)
The Intagible Stubbs Effect Theory would hold more water if the Reds had a quality pitching staff during most of his time with the club. With the exception of 2012, it was average-to-poor.
Meanwhile, we know the misfiring at the top of the lineup helped make the Reds the most inefficient offense in baseball last season. In general a player's tangibles outweigh his intangibles.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Make that a thing.
Drew Stubb's caught more air with his bat than balls with his glove.
And at the end of the day the ledger was more often in the red than the black, no matter how many accounting tricks were applied to the columns.
Hitters perform better, I'd suggest, when they are surrounded by other good hitters. Simply, the pitcher can't pitch around anybody. Putting men on base with a Choo or a Votto or a Bruce coming up is dangerous.
Enter Stubbs. He has a lifetime .655 OPS against righties in almost 1500 plate appearances. He hit .213 last year. His strikeout totals speak for themselves.
Put Stubbs in an NL lineup, with the pitcher hitting, and with the usual limitations on most shortstops and catchers who often are primarily defensive players.
The result is enormous pressure on a very few hitters. This is particularly so against righty pitchers, with the Reds having few hitters who hit them very well recently.
Everyone on the team can't be a hitting star, but when a Stubbs hits .213 with a .610 OPS and strikes out about 30 percent of the time, I'd suggest that it has a very tangible impact on (a) opposing pitchers who can pitch around others to get to Stubbs, and (b) the other Reds' hitters who have to manage in a lineup with very few potent threats against righty pitching.

I can't think of a hitter that doesn't want to hit the ball up the middle from the beginning of his at-bat. Those few hitters who are dead pull hitters aren't going to change their approach just against Cincinnati (or other poor CF defensive teams). Those that focus on hitting the ball the other way are typically situational hitters looking to advance runners; they, too, won't change their approach.
In other words, I don't think a lack of Stubbs in CF matters in the least to hitters.
As to pitchers, I believe they should recognize the pros and cons of the situation. For every gapper that gets through, Choo will be on base around how many times more than his predecessor?
As an aside, I vaguely remember Choo playing a very shallow RF against Cincinnati. If he does the same in CF, things may get interesting. I think Bruce and Ludwick can be solid to above average OFers with range enough to perhaps cover those gaps. (Both have proven plus to above average defenders for their careers.) I think it's possible that the Red OF defense may be much less of a hindrance for that very reason. The aggressiveness of Choo may boost the Red D almost as much as Stubbs' speed did. It would certainly help pitchers and pitcher memory/ aggressiveness.
"You can learn little from victory. You can learn everything from defeat."
-- Christy Matthewson
"Show me a good loser and I'll show you an idiot."
-- Leo Durocher
Sure, Jay Bruce might get intimidated by a pitcher in one AB, which might then cause him to strike out. However, it is VERY difficult to say with any accuracy that ALL batters are intimidated in a certain set of circumstances -- much less to make a general principle out of that observation. There is so much variance that it makes "intimidation" almost impossible to predict or to test -- and quite a difficult thing to base the roles of your players on. When there are so many more measurable elements of the game, it makes to look at those, too, before just basing your decision on "psychology."
"Ill kind of have a foot on the back of my own butt. Thats just how I do things. -- Bryan Price, 10/22/2013
My take on baseball psychology in relation to Stubbs:
You'd have to be crazy to want Stubbs in the line-up every day instead of Shin Soo Choo..
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS

"This project was ambitious but... not so rubbish," says Tanner Foust, TG USA host, racer extraordinaire, and driver of the world's fastest camera car - the modified McLaren MP4-12C that created this astonishing flick book.
Forza 5 team make real-life flick book
A McLaren 12C and TG USA's Tanner Foust in incredible zoetrope
The film was created by placing 680 aluminium boards printed with grabs from real Forza 5 gameplay, placed exactly six inches apart, on the side of Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. Tanner was then told to drive past them at fiendishly precise speeds with a £93,330 camera on the back, creating this ambitious, stunning petrol-powered flick book.
Director, Jeff Zwart, says, "In creating this I felt like I'd turned the camera inside out. But there was a lot of science in working out how we'd get it to work. Different sections of the track required different speeds - 80mph, 100mph, and 120mph - but it wasn't as simple as just hitting the speeds. You had to get there and stay there,"
Tanner adds, "All the science behind it was very exact. Exact frame rate, measuring the exact distance between the boards, and hitting exact speeds. The McLaren was ideal. It's classy in the way it makes ridiculous speed, and the suspension's really smooth.
"If we'd used a Porsche, the visibility would have been too bad for me to see what was going on with the boards, if we'd used a Lambo the brutal shifting would have snapped the camera off. This is a scientific car, and I needed to apply a lot of difficult science to make the film, so it was perfect."
As Tanner says, "this was the sort of cocktail napkin idea that never comes to pass because it's incredibly involved. And it would've been very easy to do it in CGI, but we did 100 per cent for real and it's very, very cool."
Like it TopGear.commers? And has it whetted your appetite for Forza 5, a launch title for Xbox One, out November 22? Don't forget Top Gear is in it too...
UPDATE: Want your very own slice of Forza Filmspeed pie? Well, we've got three examples of the artwork featured in the video to give away - and they're signed by Tanner himself. Head over to Top Gear's Facebook page for a chance to win... (Limited to US, CAN, UK, ROI).

Revenge of the Lizard Brain

There s a scene in Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas in which the writer, high out of his mind on hallucinogens, watches a roomful of casino patrons transform into giant lizards and lunge at each other in bloody combat. Under the veneer of civilization, the scene suggests, we re all still reptiles, just waiting for the moment to strike. Strange as it seems, this drug-fueled vision reflects a biological theory that, back in the 60s, looked like it might be gaining some traction: Paul MacLean s infamous Triune Brain theory , whose basic idea is that every human brain contains three independent competing minds – the reptile, the early mammal, and the modern primate.

Feel like it's 4th-and-10 and you are scrambling for the perfect decorations for your Super Bowl or football bash? Rest assured, we have all the decorations you need for a party that is sure to score a touchdown with your guests!
Outdoor Decorations:
Fill several Football Mylar Balloons with helium and attach to your mailbox. Include brite-tone balloons in your team's colors (it's your party, it's okay to show a little bias!) and create a balloon bouquet.
Turn your front walkway into a mini football field! Cover the walkway with grass mats and mark the yard lines with white masking tape.
Hang a football cutout from the Championship Football Ensemble to the front door to let guests know they've found your Super Bowl bash!
Indoor Decorations:
Start your decorating with our balloons and streamers in the teams' colors. You could even create areas of your room dedicated to each team. Serve snacks and cupcakes decorated in the opposing teams' colors and serve under the appropriate decorations.
Hang a football pennant garland above doorways and around windows.
Hang a metallic foil curtain in one of your team's colors from a doorway. Guests will feel like they are a big-time football star running onto the field from the locker room.
Cut 12″ jerseys out of flat paper and use paint or markers to write in the names of your favorite players from each team. Each NFL team has a roster on its respective web site, in case you need some help with the names. The jerseys make colorful decorations and show your football know-how!
Decorate yourself in addition to decorating your home. Dress in your favorite team's colors from head to toe, and get ready to cheer!
Have face paint markers on hand for those die-hard fans who can't get enough of their team.
Table Decorations:
Don't leave your table on the sidelines when decorating for the big game! Start by covering the table with a grass tissue mat. Add yard lines with white masking tape. The Football Fringe Tableskirt is the perfect accent!
We know that the wings, potato skins, chips, and other goodies will be the main attraction on your tables (for the guys, anyway), but our centerpieces are too cool to pass up! Choose the Kickoff Centerpiece or a Football Sports Centerpiece to complete the gridiron decor.

FIRTH — Firth High School (FHS) senior Brittney Robinson won first place last week in the nation in desktop publishing at the Business Professionals of America (BPA) in Washington, D. C.
This is the second time Robinson had qualified in this discipline at BPA nationals. The 2010 contest was in Anaheim, Calif.
"I wasn't expecting anything," Robinson said. "It was a complete surprise.

SHELLEY — Only one school board trustee position is up for election in Shelley Joint School District No. 60.
Incumbent Loren Lund will face Eva Ochoa in the May 17 election for the position in Zone 1.
Lund has served four years on the Shelley School Board.
"I have a passion for education," Lund said. "Education has always been extremely important in my life."
BLACKFOOT — There are two candidates for the Blackfoot School Board Zone 3 trustee. Elections will be May 17. Bingham County will be running the elections and electors will vote in their regular precinct location from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
R. Scott Reese, who was appointed to fill the Zone 3 position in January, is running against Marilyn R. Cottam.
FIRTH — Because of the reduced funds from the state, the Firth School District trustees are asking electors to approve a supplemental levy for $300,000 each of the next two years.
These funds are necessary to meet the increased requirements from the state and to continue to provide academic excellence and meets the needs of students, Superintendent Sid Tubbs said.
FIRTH -- Monday marked the 50th anniversary of the grocery store "Stop n Shop" in Firth. Clarence (Shorty) and Pearl Neihart opened Stop n Shop on May 9, 1961.

It was first located on the corner of the 200 block on South Main, across the street from Colletts. Â
After the Teton Dam broke in June 1976, the business moved to its present location in 1977 at 409 S. Main, Firth.  Â

No matter what you think of The Black Eyed Peas' music, there's no doubt they're very good at making money.
In 2010 the group grossed a whopping $81.6 million from touring alone, more than any other act besides Bon Jovi, U2, AC/DC and Lady Gaga. Based on a nightly gross of about $1 million, it's safe to say the Peas take home $250,000 to $350,000 per concert.
So it may come as a surprise to learn what The Black Eyed Peas are earning for their halftime show at Super Bowl XLV: Nothing.
That's right. Fergie, will.i.am, and those other two guys whose names you can never remember (for the record, they're called Taboo and apl.de.ap) will not be receiving a performance fee for their efforts in Dallas.
So why the charity? Because the acts that play Super Bowl halftime shows traditionally don't get paid.
A better question: Why have dozens of other high-profile acts agreed to play the Super Bowl for free?
The simple answer is exposure. At first glance, that sounds preposterous. Turn on any pop radio station and you'll be hard-pressed to go more than seven minutes without getting the echoey, bass-laden, auto-tuned strains of The Black Eyed Peas firmly implanted in your brain. A remarkable 1.3 million people paid to see the Peas in concert last year alone.
But think about the Super Bowl. In 2010 a record 106.5 million people watched the New Orleans Saints defeat the Indianapolis Colts, and this year's audience is expected to top that — making it the most-watched show in American broadcast history.
Even if 6.5 million people get up to go to the bathroom at halftime, there will still be 100 million pairs of eyes on The Black Eyed Peas.
"The platform that these artists are given can't be replicated," says Paul Swangard, managing director of the University of Oregon's Warsaw Sports Marketing Center, one of five industry sources who confirmed that halftime performances are pro-bono. "It's a basic financial equation. What would you have to do as a band to have a conversation with a third of the country? I think the arrangement makes a lot of sense."
Swangard points out that Tom Petty saw a boost in record sales in the wake of his 2008 Super Bowl performance, and suspects that The Black Eyed Peas will likely see a similar spike.
Though the Peas won't receive cash for their gig, they will be treated to perks including production funding for the show.
That can be a rather substantial total, says Donald David, an entertainment attorney who has spoken with sources close to the event's organizers.
Another bonus is free travel for band members — and for their loosely-defined support staff.
"Historically, artists do not receive a performance fee for appearing in the Super Bowl halftime show," says attorney Lori Landew of Fox Rothschild in Philadelphia. "But their expenses, which can be sizable depending on the size of the act and their entourage, are covered."
A representative from Universal Music Group — the parent company of Interscope, the label that's home to The Black Eyed Peas — did not respond to a request to confirm that the band would not be paid for the Super Bowl gig.
From a business perspective, the show is still a net gain.
"You can't underestimate the additional impact of all the promotion leading up to the game and the show," says Landew. "It's a great opportunity for an artist to get tremendous exposure, particularly with audiences that are not normally fans."

She looks better than Ronda here. Sometimes her big Jew nose stands out too much.
She wants the BBC
Seriously whats wrong with people? She is a beautiful women! And even if she wasn't, why talk shit? She's an MMA fighter. This isn't a beauty contest.you would think people would be talking about fights on an MMA sight, not how big her nose is or who's hotter her or Ronda. I think it is great that women are finally allowed to fight in the UFC, the rematch should be great and I hope she worked hard on her arm bar defence. It's ass holes like the people on this sight who make it hard for women to compete in combat sports

Day 6, April 6th 226 miles, Calexico, California to Gonzaga Bay, Baja Norte, Mexico
We started the day in Calexico at 7:00 doing some last minute tasks. We got some Pesos from a money exchange station along the way just before the border and used our debit cards. It was easy and gave us some initial money to cover the next few days.
Border crossing was very simple. They just green lighted us into Mexico without any problems and we then went to get our tourist visas as the office just inside the border on the left. No parking, busy street, but straight forward process. We were unable to pay for anything since it was Good Friday and the banks were closed. They told us just to do it on Monday and we plan on doing it in La Paz.
So that also means we were not able to import our bikes on Friday in Mexicali as we had planned. Zach and I are going over on the ferry from La Paz so we will have to get it done there.
We rode thru Mexicali pretty quickly and only got lost once or twice as they had the main road closed for either construction or a parade. I could not tell which. It was after all Semana Santa.
We rode the 120+ miles from Mexicali to San Felipe where we found complete chaos. Seems the holiday packs them in and the town was full of cars and people. We could not even get down to the Malecon to see what was what. So we decided to just get some fish tacos at a roadside stand and continue on to Gonzaga Bay. Road was pretty good and paved all the way except the last 12-14 miles.
We went to Alphonsinas for dinner and a few beers. We did not plan on staying at the hotel but it was full anyway. It seemed like one large extended family filled the place.
We decided to camp on the beach and but after some trying to get thru the soft sand we camped back off the beach where the road was and the ground was solid. Piece of cake.

A gathering at Raja Annamalai Manram at Esplanade on Monday left few in doubt about the meaning of the `sense of belonging.' The programme was got up to felicitate octogenarian N. Sampath, president of Tamilnadu Bank Employees' Federation.
Mr. Sampath, held his audience spellbound with his extempore oration. He spoke of the ordeals he faced when he launched the agitation to be recognised as an employee. Sixty years later, the All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA), recalled with gratitude his contribution.
Mr. Sampath recalled several incidents that kept him going. One of them was the association's theme song written in 1973.
AIBEA decided that a theme song would foster a feeling of belonging and keep the association united. The association asked film lyricist Vaali to pen the lyrics. He was paid Rs.6,000 for it, said Mr. Sampath. The song was recorded by HMV. The women's council of the association rendered it. Soon the song caught on. Other associations followed suit with their own theme songs.

A set of tools for working with light field (aka plenoptic) imagery in Matlab
% LFReadRaw - reads the Lytro `RAW' file format, as output by the `LFP Reader' tool
% Usage:
% Img = LFReadRaw( Fname )
% Img = LFReadRaw( Fname, ImgSize )
% There is no universal `RAW' file format. This function reads 12-bit packed raw files, outputting
% an array of type uint16. This is the format utilized by Lytro to store raw lenselet images for
% photos and white images for calibration data. However, some LFP tools convert these raw files
% during unpacking, and so when using a tool other than LFP Reader v2.0.0, the resulting RAW files
% may be incompatible with this function. Generally minor modification will accommodate other
% formats.
% Note that reading a packed 12-bit raw files using fread is appreciably slower than reading a .png
% or .tiff using imread, so as an optimization in scenarios where a file is likely to be read many
% times one might consider converting raw images using an external tool, such as the cross-platform
% ImageMagick tool.
% Inputs :
% Fname : path to the 12-bit packed raw file to read
% [optional] ImgSize : a 2D vector defining the size of the image, in pixels. The default value
% of [3280,3280] corresponds to the size of Lytro images.
% Outputs:
% Img is an array of uint16 gray levels. No demosaicing (decoding Bayer pattern) is performed.
% To demosaic, try:
% Img = demosaic(Img, 'bggr');
% See also: LFDecodeLenseletImageSimple, demosaic
% Part of LF Toolbox v0.2 released 27-May-2013
% Copyright (c) 2013, Donald G. Dansereau
function Img = LFReadRaw( Fname, ImgSize )
ImgSize = LFDefaultVal( 'ImgSize', [3280,3280] );
%---Read the file---
f = fopen( Fname );
Img = fread( f, ImgSize, 'ubit12=>uint16', 0, 'b' )'; % note the ' is necessary to get the rotation right
fclose( f );
