What is grad school life like?
Life as a graduate student in our department requires maturity and focus. You simply cannot follow every shiny object of interest that flashes before you – you must pick and choose and make strategic decisions. Well-developed time management skills are essential in this regard. For me, the rewards of being a graduate student far outweigh the time and effort spent with the less-enjoyable organizational tasks and occasional lack of free time. Being a graduate student here has been the most intellectually satisfying experience of my life.
What is a typical day in the life of a grad student?
I am in the third year of my doctoral degree so for me a typical day involves fieldwork. I rent a small apartment in Tlaxcala, Mexico, near my field sites in the mountains. Most days I visit these fields and talk with farmers about their techniques. Sometimes I stop to take soil samples and then return to my apartment to do analysis. I also have a cabin in a national park that I rent and use when conducting fieldwork there. I grew up traveling in Mexico with my dad and his graduate advisor, so I often take short trips to visit with those old friends or to explore some other area of interest.
What is the coolest thing about your graduate program?
For me, the coolest thing about our program is the freedom to conduct independent, international fieldwork. Inevitably, I am surprised by much of what I find while exploring cultural or biophysical characteristics of landscapes. Some of these findings are only fleeting interests, but other topics provide avenues for additional investigation. Independent fieldwork allows me to follow these interests as they pertain to a general research trajectory. This is very cool, but it requires discipline and preparation, understanding of field techniques and a clear methodology.
Can you tell us a bit more about your dissertation?
My dissertation is entitled, Conservation Engineering and Cross-slope Earthworks in Mexico. I examine the biophysical and cultural characteristics of certain forms of terrace building. Since Pre-Hispanic times, farmers have used earthen terraces to conserve soil and water on mountain slopes. Recently, Mexican government agencies have employed the descendants of these farmers to build similar terrace forms in national parks to combat environmental degradation or transformation from both human and natural causes (e.g., deforestation or climate change). My research examines the adaptation of these ancient agricultural terracing techniques into modern conservation practices. I incorporate theory from cultural and political ecology studies and take a mixed methods approach. These range from semi-structured interviews and statistical analysis to mapping, use of geographic information systems (GIS), and soil sampling. I spend about equal time in front of the computer and crawling around in the dirt.
What would you consider to be the greatest difference from your time as an undergrad?
When I was an undergrad I often read the assigned materials so that I could score well on a test or be prepared for a class discussion. As a doctoral student, however, most of what I read is important for my career. In other words, graduate school requires that I read with a different focus. This means that I must not only understand the readings, but also must analyze them, critique them, and even memorize certain elements. Since I enjoy what I study, this is less difficult that it may sound.
Is there anything you know now that you wish you knew as an undergrad?
Having had more guidance as an undergrad would have made some things easier. However, the process of searching for and discovering my own interests was an invaluable experience. This is the best preparation for graduate school – learning how to think and work independently, and in the process, discovering your own research interests.
What are your top 3 tips for students interested in applying to a program like yours?
- Go to a program where the faculty members conduct research generally aligned with your own interests. However, do not shoehorn your research objectives to fit with their own.
- Place matters. Go to a university located in a city with at atmosphere conducive to both work and play. Prioritize the former.
- Do your homework on being a graduate student (i.e., study the course offerings, contact current graduate students, prepare for the GRE, contact a few faculty members, work on your application materials until they are perfect, and save your money while you can).
Did you work on a research project as an undergrad?
I worked on many research projects as an undergrad. Most of them, however, were not related to school in a formal sense. For example, I was very involved with Civil War archaeology in the mid-South. Another project looked at the cultural adaptation of nineteenth-century Italian immigrants to Mexico. I recommend undergrads work on research projects, but again, follow your own interests. Focus less on resume "fluff" and more on substantive work that segues well with your graduate work. Demonstrate that you can develop your own initiative. This is imperative for graduate research on any level since graduate studies require that you think independently.
If you wouldn't have accepted the UT Austin offer, which school was your #2 choice?
I was also interested in Louisiana State University.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I will be a tenured professor, conducting fieldwork in Latin America and writing books and articles. My wife will be exploring the world with me during the summertime and our daughter will be working hard in her international school and will be a good big sister to her little brother.
What is one an interesting website you would tell a friend interested in geography to check out?
I recommend taking a look at The American Geographical Society site. This page gives a good summary of the geography I enjoy and a couple of my favorite publications.
Do you have a last story or bit of advice you would like to share?
It is OK if you have had other career paths mapped out before you in the past. For me, sampling life's variety before academia was necessary. But make sure you do everything as well as possible. I never really "took a year off." Before doctoral studies I worked in Latin American embassies in DC; played with symphony orchestras for a living; played college basketball and tennis; played in a traveling band for a few years; cleaned fish on boats in Alaska for a couple of years. While this sounds like a lot of "playing," I did it as well as I could. Meanwhile, I was reading about geographical topics and saving money for graduate school. In the long run there is no substitute for hard work. Study what genuinely interests you and work hard at it. Here, you will have your best chance for "success."
Graduate Program: Ph.D., Geography, The University of Texas at Austin; Research Interest: Contested Landscapes in Hispanic Communities
Other Degrees: M.L.A., Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning – University of California at Berkley; M.C.R.P., City and Regional Planning, The Ohio State University – Columbus, OH; B.A., History and Geography, The University of Texas at Austin
What is life like for a geography graduate student?
Typically as a graduate student you are balancing a life of teacher, researcher, and student. You have to not only stay on top of your own course work but the course material you're teaching. As a graduate student you also have to push yourself beyond typical undergrad passive life of studying for tests and writing papers to a forward active school life of writing for funding, working on papers to publish, reading as much as you can outside of class, working closely with professors, preparing to teach classes, etc. Thus your responsibilities have increased to that of a full time job, but still as a student or anyone in academia, your work becomes part of your life.
What is the coolest thing about your graduate program?
I am relatively new to the Geography Department and graduate school at The University of Texas. I love geography and the issues that geographers tackle. What I have enjoyed in graduate school is the smaller class sizes, the opportunity to teach, and the ability to narrow your course work to the things you're interested in. I returned to UT because of the diversity of faculty in this department and the range of topics they work on.
Can you tell us a bit more about your research interest?
I am currently considering contested landscapes in Hispanic communities. I am looking at the manifestation of the mobilized taco truck and how it is becoming a marginalized entity within the urban fabric.
Is there anything you know now that you wish you knew as an undergrad?
As an undergraduate one tends to think that the professor's primary job is to lecture and often forget about their multifaceted life of research, lecturing, and publishing. As an undergraduate student interested in graduate school, I would try to take the time to get to know professors and their research beyond what may be presented in class. Thus learn as much as you can about people and exactly what it is they do if you are interested in their type of work. One should try and work with a professor as an undergrad if they can. This not only gives an undergrad insight to more advanced academic work in the field, but also sets them up for a letter of recommendation and a line on their CV. Also, apply for as many scholarships as you can. There are lots of financial resources available for undergrads, in addition, taking the time to write and get funding demonstrates your ability to do so in graduate school as well as proves your dedication; plus extra cash doesn't hurt.
What are your top 3 tips for students interested in applying to a program like yours?
- Be familiar with the department's interests, what the faculty is interested in should jive with what you want to do.
- Make sure you are in contact with people in the department and they know who you are. If you can, visit the department so they can put a face to the application.
- Be persistent and have a well thought out research topic in mind.
Did you work on a research project as an undergrad?
I did an undergraduate thesis in geography with Professor Terry G. Jordan titled "The Identities of the Iberian Peninsula." The thesis was a very broad descriptive work that looked at food preparation and agricultural regions in Spain and Portugal. The work was hardly grad school quality, but it allowed me to work closely with a well-respected professor, travel abroad, and improve my writing skills. More importantly it pushed my thinking in the field to how I could advance my academic abilities to the next tier.
If you wouldn't have accepted the UT Austin offer, which school was your #2 choice?
If I didn't come to UT, my second choice was to do my PhD in Landscape Architecture at UC Berkeley. Other geography departments I closely considered were the University of California Los Angeles, the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and the University of British Columbia. It is important to also pick a program in a place you can tolerate living. There are many solid departments across the US, just make sure you are happy living in that place for several years. I was familiar with Austin and was happy to return.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I will either be a professor in a geography or landscape architecture department or a landscape architect doing urban/environmental design and research for my own firm. Possibly both if I could pull it off.
What is one an interesting website you would tell a friend interested in geography to check out?
These web pages I suggest are more associated with pop culture geography and are by no means critical geography. I sometimes like watching what different people are buying in the world or are talking about. TrendsMaps is a real-time mapping of Twitter trends across the world and Zappos provides a real time map of online purchases. In addition, the Department of Geography at the University of Minnesota has a good webpage that breaks down Geography into research clusters to help people better understand what geographers study. (Scroll to bottom of home page). Also make sure to check out UT's Geography webpage.
Do you have a story, news or achievement you would like to share?
Recently I was feature on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle, which has spun off of a few blogs following a project that I started at Berkeley. You can see more about the project online at MappingOakland.com. Read more at the San Francisco Chronicle, City Homestead blog and SF.Streets blog sites.
Graduate Program: Ph.D., Geography and the Environment, The University of Texas at Austin; Research Topic: International Migration
Other Degrees: M.A., Latin American Studies (LLILAS), The University of Texas at Austin; B.A., Latin American and Caribbean Studies, McGill University – Montreal, Canada
What is grad school life like?
What's better than having a job that allows you to pursue your passions, commit yourself to being involved in local (and even international!) communities, interact with equally enthusiastic colleagues, and share what you learn as a teacher? During my eighty-hour workweeks, this is my mantra.
What is a typical day in the life of a grad student?
Being successful as a graduate student takes quite a bit of self-motivation and commitment. You are in charge of your program, which is the greatest advantage but at the same time, is overwhelming for those starting out.
As a graduate student, your typical "day" tends to change from year to year as you advance in your program. As a grad, your life is a mixture of coursework, writing, research, teaching, and more and more trying to publish your work, and network with people outside your discipline. Right now, as I prepare to advance to candidacy (after candidacy I am done with course work, and will be able to start my official research project), my work schedule is more intense than previous years.
Each Sunday I lay out the week's main goals, my appointments, assignments, etc. This is necessary to stay on track, even if you don't complete everything on your list. I start my day as early as possible so I can take advantage of the focus I have in the morning. Lately, I've been doing a lot of writing, so I like to get this out of the way first. After I meet my writing goals, I move to preparing for my weekly seminars. An average seminar usually takes 7 to 12 hours a week to prepare for in reading, writing and note taking. I take care of any of my TA/RA (20 hours a week) responsibilities as they come up. An average day might also involve meeting with professors and other students about your work. Though work is tough right now, I can look forward to fieldwork in Mexico next year.
Despite all of the work, I do try to have a life! I do yoga, go dancing with friends, cook and garden in a community garden for fun.
What is the coolest thing about your graduate program?
I love walking into our building every morning and knowing that within our department people are researching topics as diverse as fluvial geomorphology, geopolitics, and cinema. This is incredibly inspiring to me. I feel that this keeps me fresh and involved. It often leads me to consider my own work from a different perspective. In the end, all of our work is connected by basic geographical concepts like the importance of place.
Can you tell us a bit more about your dissertation research?
My research focuses on international migration. In short, I study the socio-spatial impacts of migration in the global south, and especially Latin America. My dissertation research deals with Central American immigration to Mexico's southern border state of Chiapas. I'm particularly interested in social justice and human rights, and use methods that make sure my research includes, and has a positive impact on the local community.
What would you consider to be the greatest difference from your time as an undergrad?
As an undergrad, I took courses that interested me, grew up, and prepared for an abstract future career. I had a lot of free time to discover and pursue many interests. Grad school feels more like my actual "career." Like all grad students, I balance courses, research, and teaching. I am focused on a project I'll spend years on, and feel more like an apprentice for the career that I will have when I'm done with my Ph.D. This is what makes grad school equally challenging and rewarding.
Is there anything you know now that you wish you knew as an undergrad?
As I mentioned above, I had a vague understanding of how academia worked as an undergrad. I think this prevented me from pursuing interesting undergraduate research opportunities and forming closer relationships with faculty members. Though I wrote two undergraduate theses, I never sought out more hands-on research projects. Furthermore, I did not seek out faculty members as mentors. At UT, undergrads have many opportunities to do international and local fieldwork. From what I've observed in the last several years as a grad student, undergraduate research experience and relationships with professors are very helpful in preparing students for and getting them into grad school. This doesn't mean you should jump on every project that comes by, but do focus on something that will be enriching to you, personally.
What are your top 3 tips for students interested in applying to a program like yours?
- Choose an area(s) that energizes you and pursue all opportunities related to that area as an undergrad. Do meaningful projects about your interests.
- Find a department that has faculty working on topics that align with your interests. Write to professors you might want to work with before and after you apply.
- Remember that sometimes the journey is more important than the destination; stay positive, curious, and true to yourself.
What is one an interesting website you would tell a friend interested in geography to check out?
A great friend of mine co-founded a non-profit called Open Sound New Orleans. Open Sound gives training and distributes recording equipment to adults and youth to record sounds throughout the city. The sounds are then mapped and placed on an interactive website. The product is a collaborative sound map of the city. To me, this is geography at its best!
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
In ten years I see myself in a tenure-track position, continuing to do engaged research, and teaching. I'll be committed to being a supportive mentor, and a positive example for other women in my discipline, since there are relatively few of us.

Imagine the following scenario: 'Disgusted with his dismal performance in the playoffs and diminishing talents; the Yankees look to unload the contract of Alex Rodriguez so they can pursue a new direction. Unable to afford to offer him the contract he feels he deserves, the Mets are forced to pursue a trade for David Wright. The New York Teams swap players at their hot corners in an unprecedented move that angers, confuses and frustrates fans.' Rodriguez is owed $28 Mil in 2013, $25 Mil in 2014, $21 Mil in 2015, $20 Mil in 2016 and $20 Mil in 2017. His health is a major hurdle to an NL team but is there a point where Alex Rodriguez becomes palette-able? Let us imagine that the Yankees are willing to eat 60% of A-Rod's Contract. (Averaging out to a total cost of $9.12 Mil a year for 5 years) Let us also say that the Yankees are willing to take the final year of Jason Bay's contract off the Met's hands. (Leaving the Mets an annual cost of $5.52 Mil for Mr. Rodriguez) Okay… bu...

My Top 5 Comics Anticipations for 2014 (so far)
By Agent_Prince 4 Comments
1) The End of Fatale:-
Fatale by Ed Brubaker & Sean Phillips is an excellent comic book. Its noir feel, the mystery revolving around the titular character Josephine are as disturbing as she is sexy. The art is perfect, as is the narrative. It is however then one of the biggest disappointments that Fatale will end with issue 24, in a manner of speaking of course. Currently on issue 19, Fatale has crossed several decades, with the mysterious Josephine affecting many a man for the past 19 issues. It's a shame to see it go, but I'm sure Brubaker/Phillips will provide a suitable conclusion.
2) Superman/Wonder Woman.....and Zod:-
The first 3 issues of Charles Soule/Tony Daniel's DC super-book have been spectacular. We've seen Doomsday vs. Wonder Woman already, and a Superman that is already written much better than any of the solo Superman books. Now we have Zod, who like Doomsday has arrived on Earth as the barrier to the Phantom Zone is breaking down. Don't just fall for the amazing visuals, this book actually connects Wonder Woman to her solo book too, something not explored in Justice League as yet. In short, many reasons to jump on board.
3) The Return of Peter Parker
Hooooo boy. It was always going to happen, eventually. I'll admit I never wanted him to die in the first place, but over the last 12 month Superior Spider-Man is one of the best books Marvel put out. But only yesterday, Dan Slott (and then everyone else) revealed the announcement and covers for Amazing Spider-Man #1, with Peter back in his old costume. Exciting stuff, but even more exciting is finding out how.
4) The Saga that is Saga
If you picked Saga as your favourite book of 2013, there would be little argument. Even when Brian K. Vaughan has slowed things down in the last half year, the pieces of the chessboard are always moving, with the repercussions now beginning in issue 17. Saga is a wonderful adult comic, and is a ride anyone who reads comics needs to experience. I'm sure 2014 will be no different.
5) Lazarus, because Forever is awesome.
What a book, what a character. Greg Rucka really shows his credentials here with this mix of dystopian near-future family loyalty amidst a world run by corrupt families literally doing anything to hold their own. The biggest draw is Forever herself, a character struggling to understand exactly who or 'what' she is. Compelling, action-packed and equally complex, Lazarus can only get better month by month.
So all in all, 2014 is looking to be another amazing year for comic books. How about you, what are you looking forward to this year in comics?

Black Barbershop initiative targets treatable conditions
Complications from high blood pressure and irregular glucose levels are something that most people don't give a second thought, but black males are dying from at a rate that is quicker than any other demographic in Indiana.
They're preventable, easily detected; yet these men aren't going to the doctor to be tested for these conditions.
Five Evansville barbershops came together Saturday for one solid mission: test the blood pressure and glucose levels of African American men in the area. Saturday marked the Third Annual Black Barbershop Initiative. The event which gives black males the opportunity to be tested for these conditions in a setting that feels more friendly and more homelike than a doctor's office.
"It seems to be going well, we've had about ten people so far," said Emily Winters of Fila's Designs, just a couple of hours into the event. "I think it will be a successful day,"
Fila's Designs, along with Jerald's Barbershop, Shark's Den Barbershop, Going Forward Barber and Beauty Shop and Lynch's House of Coiffure hosted the event.
The shops opened for screenings 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Eleven other Indiana cities hosted similar events. The statewide goal was to have at least 1000 men tested.
For Teresa Carter of Going Forward Barber and Beauty Shop, the cause was very close to her heart.
"I was tested, and I tested for high blood pressure," she said.
Carter said that while she regularly goes to the doctor, she hadn't had a chance to recently. This event gave her the opportunity to keep tabs on her health as well.
"These problems are a very big concern in the African American community," Carter said, "People really need to stay in touch with these issues. These are very serious health problems."
Last year, about 20 people attended the health screenings at Going Forward. Just two hours after the start of the screenings Saturday, they already had 15 people participate.
"This is very vital to our community," said Carter.
Volunteers included registered nurses and student nurses from the University of Southern Indiana, along with ministers and other volunteers helped with registrations.
"We have a lot of volunteers today. A lot of people that came and gave up their Saturday because this is so important to them," said Carter.
Though the thought of having these health issues weighed heavy on some people's minds, there were only a few men that had issues that needed immediate attention. Still, the tests at least gave the men peace of mind.
"So far so good here," said Winters, "We've had some tests that have been bad, but for the most part, everyone has been testing at normal levels."
Diane Clements, the executive director of the Evansville Commission on the Social Status of African-American Males, started the event in Evansville three years ago. The Initiative aims at getting men to start discussions about health in a place that is comfortable to them.
Last year, over 100 men were screened in Evansville, which was the third highest amount in the state.
The Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program has gained a lot attention lately. It was featured in the fall issue of Essence Magazine. Events occur across the country with some even testing for prostate cancer.
The initiative has been around since 2006, aiming at addressing health disparities in African American men.

We live on Planet Ocean.
Water covers three-quarters of the globe and a staggering 80% of all life on Earth is found hidden beneath its waves. As the sea rolls across the planet it provides over half the oxygen we breathe, sustains billions of people with its resources and drives weather systems and natural flows of energy, which maintain life on Earth.
We need a healthy global ocean to survive. Yet our oceans are in crisis.
A healthy ocean has diverse ecosystems and robust habitats. But a myriad of human pressures – from overfishing to climate change – are causing ecosystems to collapse, the extinction of many marine species and the destruction of ocean habitats. Our own Pacific Ocean, one of the last relatively healthy ocean ecosystems, is being plundered at an alarming rate. Find out more
We need to change the way we fish and the way we protect our oceans. From the high seas to the supermarket shelf, Greenpeace works to replace destructive and illegal fishing practices with sustainable ones. We have a bold vision to end overfishing and establish a global network of marine reserves, which are vital to restore the health of our oceans. Find out more
For over thirty years Greenpeace has taken action to protect the gentle giants of the sea. Our work has helped end whaling in nearly every country and revived decimated whale populations. Yet whales are still not safe. Today we're campaigning to protect whales from the many dangers they face, from 'scientific' whaling to climate change. Find out more
You have the power to end the destruction of our oceans. If more people demand sustainable seafood from their retailers, there's more incentive and pressure for industrial fisheries to provide it. In fact, the tide is already changing. Find out more
New Delhi, May 5, 2015 - Greenpeace India has one month left to fight for

Sydney, 4 May 2015, For the first time ever the majority of tuna brands on Australian supermarket shelves have converted to sourcing from environmentally responsible fishing methods.
New Delhi, 14 April 2015 – Following the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) again blocking Greenpeace India's ability to receive money from overseas, Samit Aich, Executive Director of Greenpeace India said today:
15 April 2015, Sydney: For the first time, an alliance of environmental and industry groups have today united to call for clear seafood labelling in Australia.
Sydney, April 8 2015 - Australia's four largest banks should follow the lead set by three of France's biggest banks and rule out financing the controversial Carmichael coal mining project in Queensland, Greenpeace Australia says.

Weekdays at Noon on 92.3 KTAR
KTAR Middays
It feels like we're forgetting 9/11
It's been 12 years.
And this year it almost seems like America have moved on.
So is that what it takes? 4,383 days? Is that our limit?
It's only been 626 weeks since the worst terrorist attack on American soil. About 105,100 hours since nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives at the hands of al-Qaeda.
This year I feel like the anniversary snuck up on us. That's probably because it doesn't have a "milestone" number. We paused to reflect on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 in 2011. I guess we'll do it again when we reach 2016 after it has been 15 years.
This year the mood is different. Perhaps it's just because of the passage of time. Or perhaps it is because we spent so much time, so many years, mourning. Or maybe life has just moved on.
Those images are still fresh in my head though. They're burned into my brain. I couldn't get rid of them even if I tried. Those images are where my mind goes every time I hear "Sept. 11" mentioned.
Maybe I'm the strange one, the one who still thinks about Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001, every Sept. 11. I still get uncomfortable when I hear a TV commercial talking about a Sept. 11 premiere date. I was uncomfortable when the NFL season started on 9/11 a couple of years ago.
It is a day to remember. It's a day to think about what has changed in the past 12 years. American soldiers have engaged in two wars since then. Over two million have been deployed, 6,668 American soldiers have been killed. Thousands more have been injured. We've got the Patriot Act and the NSA spying on American citizens. The entire world has changed in the past 12 years.
And it seems like this year we're glossing right over that.
Sept. 11 is not a day to celebrate. It's certainly not a day to offer discount golf as one Wisconsin course did. It's a day to reflect. It's certainly not a day to forget.
But maybe that's just me.

"It won't happen because pro-life members like me, I won't vote for it. So you have large numbers of pro-life members who will never vote for it," Coburn, a doctor, said.
Republicans have upped their battle cry as the health care debate enters its final phase.
Former Rep. Eric Massa's resignation briefly entered the fray this week when he alleged that he was being ousted because he had refused to vote for the House health care reform bill last year. Yet, after his appearance on a FOX News show earlier this week, his allegations have been largely dismissed by both sides.
"The fact is, this whole debate has devolved into a little bit of a farce, and it might actually be funny if the stakes weren't so high," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor Wednesday.
For one Democrat, the force driving that farce is the media, which earned the scorn of Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., Wednesday for focusing away from substance.
"If anyone wants to know where the cynicism is, there's two press people in this gallery," Kennedy yelled as the House debated a measure sponsored by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, setting a timeline for withdrawing U.S. troops from Afghanistan. "We're talking about Eric Massa 24/7 on the TV. We're talking about war and peace -- $3 billion, 1,000 lives -- and no press, no press."
"It's despicable, the national press corps right now," he said.
ABC News' Huma Khan contibuted to this report.

In mid-June I flew from my tiny western Massachusetts town all the way to San Diego for the Americans for the Arts Annual Convention (click here for information on how to buy the Convention On-Demand). Though I have been to their annual advocacy day in D.C. before, this was my first AFTA event that wasn't focused exclusively on policy. And though I may be able to slap the label "artist" on my life for all those hours I clock playing music in the DIY scene, I'm no "arts professional."
That meant that I did a lot of listening for three days. As someone who tends to be a bit of a talker when I'm in my element, there's something to be said for sitting quietly, absorbing, and identifying themes.
The conference brings together about 1,000 people from the arts world – most of them administrators from local and state arts councils, but many serving double duty in the world as artists, too. Read the rest of this entry »

Hi Ken. I photographed all of the Villa Novas headstones and they are all uploaded. There are some under Unknown that I could not decipher. Perhaps you have a better eye.
You have my permission to use any of my photos as you need.
I have Petersville photographed and am up to my neck in Spains and O'Mearas :) They should all be up within a week.
Charlotte and Deep Creek are next on my list.
Have a great day,

Dear mister Wright,
my name is Erwin de Mooij and I am the content webmaster for the 457th Bomb Group Association website.
At this moment I am working on a virtual cemetery/memorial on the website honering all 339 KIA/MIA/KIS of the group.
I saw your picture of Phillip Murillo's grave marker and I was wondering if I could use it for the memorial. If you made any other photos of 457th BG members would I be able to use these too?
We would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,

Transfer of Edwards family/Freeport
Hi Ken,
I wondered if it would be OK to transfer John Edwards, his wife Helen(a) and mother Margaret to me? - unless they are relatives of yours, of course.
John: 70908555
Helen: 73901306
Margaret: 73686922
My grandmother in Dubuque had many photos in her possession of her "Uncle John". There are also some of John with his son and daughters. I can begin to add some to the present memorials. Thanks very much.

Music Institute of Chicago to Celebrate 100th Anniversary of E.M. Skinner Organ with Nathan J. Laube, 5/17
The Music Institute of Chicago celebrates the 100th anniversary of its E.M. Skinner organ by presenting acclaimed young organist Nathan J. Laube in concert Saturday, May 17 at 7:30 p.m. at Nichols Concert Hall, 1490 Chicago Avenue, Evanston.
The program includes:
· Bach's Cantata 29, "Wir danken dir," BWV 39, Dupré transcription
· Mendelssohn's Variations Sérieuses, Op. 54, Laube transcription
· Schumann's Studien für den Pedalflügel, Op. 56
· Widor's Symphonie pour Grand Orgue, Op. 42, No. 5
· Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor, Op. 28, No. 5, Federlein transcription
· Saint-Saëns' Fantaisie pour Orgue, Op. 101
· Mozart's Adagio und Allegro in f-moll für ein Orgelwerk, KV 594
· Dupré's Prélude et Fugue en sol-mineur, Op. 7, No. 3
A star among young classical musicians, Nathan J. Laube has quickly earned a place among the organ world's elite performers. His brilliant playing and gracious demeanor have thrilled audiences and presenters across the United States and in Europe, and his creative programming of repertoire spanning five centuries, including his own virtuoso transcriptions of orchestral works, have earned high praise from critics and peers alike. In addition to his busy performing schedule, Laube is dedicated to mentoring the next generation of young organists, and in the fall of 2013, he joined the faculty at Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York as assistant professor of organ.
In a recent article in The Economist, Laube talks about the resurgence of the organ as a concert instrument. Following a recent live recording of an organ concerto with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, he said, "It was amazing to see a full house of symphony-goers jump up after what must have been for many a first exposure to the instrument in a concerto role."

Dragging files around in x vs. 9?
Hello. Having jsut switched to OS 10, I am a little unsure of myself. In 9, I was used to creating stuff where ever and deleting whatever I wanted. First time I worked on a PC and I dragged an application in the trash...I spent the next few days reformating the drive, etc. The permissions, etc. of Server X, etc. have got me concerned. Apple said that you can't just drag copies around.
Two questions.
1) Can I create a folder anywhere I want? Like I just created a folder at the root level of the hard drive. Is that ok? Any special instructions?
2) How can I copy the students folders from the server to my laptop for grading? Before, under OS9 and AppleSHare 6, I just dragged a copy of the student folder and graded from there. Will this still work? Is there an easy way to not get all of the other stuff that the server creates?
Im guessing youre on a network at school for getting the students folder. If so, under the "Go" menu, click on connect to server. there you should see all the network drives, and yes, drag and drop works great in os x
os x uses a unix permissions set up, which means if theres something system related, you arent initially allowed to do anything with it. this is to prevent any such reformatting due to operator error (aka, ID-10T Errors :D ). You can create a folder anywhere that a user has access. if you want permission to add a folder else where, use good ole Command+i on the folder and under permissions, change to yourself

I've been adopted. Yippee!
Hi! My name is Vito and I am a neutered, little dwarf boy. I am estimated to be about 5 years old.
It's pretty fun for me to pretend that I am a bit of a tough guy, but actually I love to give bunny kisses!
As a dwarf rabbit I do have a feisty reputation to uphold, so I'd be a best fit for someone who like a little 'tude with their bunny loving.
If you are looking for a cutecurmudgeon with a tender heart, that's me. Please visit me soon!

I'm pretty excited and since it has to do with horses, who better to tell than you all on HF!
So, my friend Erin contacted me the other day and asked me if I would model for her. Since I've done it before and have always had a blast working with her I said yes.
We are doing a "Lost Love" theme. It's going to be a Victorian era theme with modern day twisted into it. The best thing about it? I GET TO MODEL WITH THE HORSES I WORK WITH.
The basic layout is I'm going to be a princess with my trusty steed in a woodland setting looking for my lost love, my prince! I get my hair, make up and wardrobe done. The works. It's so exciting. It's scheduled for the end of this month so I'll be sure to post pictures once I am finished.
It's going to be a long day though. Last time it took 8 hours and 2000+ pictures to finish off the set.
Here is an example of her work:
We did a Marilyn Monroe-esq type theme except the opposite. Blue dress instead of white, black hair instead of blonde. This was back in February and it was VERY VERY cold.

Publisher's Description
Combining beautiful images, informative, accessible text, and removable memorabilia, this book celebrates the design of Jefferson's four most notable structures: the University of Virginia, his Monticello home, the Poplar Forest retreat, and the Virginia State Capitol.
Monticello is the only home in the United States designated as a World Heritage Site. This Charlottesville, Virginia residence is featured on the reverse side of the nickel, and brings more than 450,000 visitors to its halls each year. However, guests are only allowed viewing on the ground floor and in the cellar; Thomas Jefferson: Architect will be one of the few places to reveal the second and third floors.
Thomas Jefferson has never ceased to intrigue both the scholar and the casual history reader. New works about his life, his politics, and his writings continue to be published each year. As historical narratives dominate the nonfiction landscape, Jefferson remains a central figure in American history, and this unique volume adds a new facet to this fascinating man.

It's unknown at this time what drug Gates tested positive for. Gates, in a statement, said he was unaware that he took a banned substance.
"In my 12 years in the NFL, I have taken tremendous pride in upholding the integrity of the NFL shield and all that it entails," Gates said. "I have taken extreme care of my body with a holistic approach and I have never knowingly ingested a substance that was banned by the NFL. In an effort to recover from this past season, I used supplements and holistic medicines, and unfortunately, I have now learned that those substances always present a risk because they may contain banned substances even if the ingredient list doesn't reflect them.
"As an NFL veteran and team leader, I should have done my due diligence to ensure that what I was taking for recovery was within the NFL guidelines. I understand that I am responsible for what is in my body and I have always believed that ignorance is no excuse when it comes to these issues. I take full responsibility for my actions. I'd like to express my sincere apologies to the Chargers, my teammates, coaches, fans and the league who have always supported me and expected and gotten nothing but the highest level of integrity from me."
With Gates out for four games, the Chargers will turn to Ladarius Green as the team's top tight end, though it was expected for Green to continue getting more looks in the passing game. Green is entering the final season of his rookie contract.
The Chargers expressed disappointment in Gates for his suspension but plans to stick with the longtime veteran through the suspension.
"We are tremendously disappointed for our team and our fans as well as Antonio, but no more disappointed than Antonio is with himself," the Chargers stated. "Antonio is a member of the Chargers' family and we will continue to support him 100-percent. We have the utmost confidence he will stay in excellent shape for the season and be ready to go when he returns in Week 5. While it's unfortunate to not have him to start the season, we have complete confidence our tight end group will continue to play at a high level."

McClain hasn't been able to participate much in offseason workouts due to going under offseason knee surgery. McClain will be eligible to practice in training camp and is expected to be healthy by then.
"I apologize to my family, the Cowboys organization, my teammates and Cowboys fans for my mistake. I will not break the rules of my profession in the future, and I regret my error," McClain said in a statement, via CSN Bay Area. "I look forward to returning to the field on week 5, when I hope to help my team beat the Patriots.
In 2014, McClain, who had previously retired twice before being traded from the Ravens to the Cowboys, totaled 81 tackles and a sack in 13 games played.

"I apologize for letting down my family, teammates, this organization and the fans," Richardson said in a statement via the Jets, per Fox Sports. "However, words aren't enough. This is something that can only be addressed by how I handle myself from this point on. I don't want this to take away from what the team is trying to accomplish. While I won't be there at the start of the regular season, I will do whatever I can to support my teammates until I'm able to return to the field."
Richardson, who was a 2013 first-round pick, is entering his third season in the NFL. He was the AP Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2013 and was named to the Pro Bowl in 2014.
He has totaled 84 tackles and 11 1/2 sacks in 32 career games. He also has one safety.

Spikes has lost far more than his license. He has lost his livelihood, having been cut by New England for hitting another car and abandoning his vehicle on the highway. He later told the police that he had hit a deer.
No other teams have been rumored to be targeting Spikes for the coming season.

Reality has since set in.
Pryor has been cut twice and is now playing on a Cleveland Browns team desperate for a quarterback, but apparently not desperate enough to give him a shot. He is instead embracing what he is calling a "slash-player" role.
"I'm going to give (it) a chance," he told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I just want to play football. I'm a playmaker, and I believe if I can touch the ball, I can go to the house, especially if I have space. This should definitely open up some opportunities."
Pryor has already taken the first step by contacting Steelers receiving stud Antonio Brown and making plans to work out with him and Randy Moss so they can teach him the nuances of the position.
He also figures there's another reason he's ahead of the game.
"The thing that helps me is that I played quarterback, and I know what the quarterback wants," Pryor said.
by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com
Ngata admitted that he suspected a deal could take place.
"The closer we got to free agency, I thought it could be a possibility," he told Monday Morning Quarterback. "It didn't surprise me ... since we weren't getting closer to any kind of contract stuff, I just figured there were a lot of things that could happen. I definitely started to have a trade in my mind as a possibility."
Ngata added that he's not thinking about a contract extension with Detroit.
"I'm just trying to get to know my teammates, get my playbook down, and my technique and terminology," he said.
by Marty Gitlin | CBSSports.com
"If ... I could take myself, I would," he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Never mind that Adrian Peterson has returned to the backfield. Never mind that Peterson has traditionally not yielded many carries to teammates. In 2012, for instance, he totaled 348 of his team's 401 rushing attempts.
The Vikings, however, are expected to use a more balanced approach in 2015. And McKinnon, who flashed as a starter with Peterson sidelined last season, is feeling dandy after undergoing lower back surgery in December.
"Two hundred percent," he declared in regard to his health. "If there is a 300, I feel 300. It's all good."
McKinnon averaged 4.8 yards per carry a year ago, which buoyed his confidence.

Gear Review
Great for commuting! High quality
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Used this for commuting and also just used it for a grocery store visit, and to my amazement, it fits two 1-gallon plastic milk jugs side by side in the main compartment, with room for more small items and a loaf of bread on top!
The best feature about this pack is how it seems to be balanced enough to stand up straight easily when loading/unloading. The zippers zip open and closed really crisply--no snagging, no needing to straighten out the bag to zip up easily, just quality stuff! Things slip in and out very easily! The front compartment fits my U-Lock, mini pump, and patch kit easily and I've used the organizer sleeve for my cyclometer and lights. It'd easily fit a Garmin Edge too. Always useful to have a pen and marker with ya. Sunglass pocket is a great idea, to store your sunglasses when indoors and now that it gets dark sooner. Haven't used the bottle holders, as I don't want to make it too heavy, but handy if I need to take a drink along with me. Skateboard straps seem to be of limited use, not being a skateboarder. I will think of something for it though (seems to be what's balancing the shoulder straps to help it stand up straight). Love the Phantom style, esp with the yellow contrast.
Seems to be good design and construction. I had a SOC Bugout back as my last pack and its shoulder straps' stitching came undone, but its huge capacity encouraged me to "over-pack" it. The front pockets on that pack also had stitching come undone and items could fall out. I made sure to check the design on this, to not let that happen again. Thankfully, the Dakine's pack doesn't seem to have anything that will affect its function immediately if the stitching starts to fail.
This pack is highly recommended! I considered the Dakine Frontier, thinking I'd need more room, yet didn't want a pack that looked like a mountaineering/camping pack, but this one happened to fit the bill, for a reasonable price and confidence inspiring warranty.

Unfortunately, in its press release, Netflix decided not to disclose details of the cost of its licensing for streaming content. Instead it bragged about the magnitude and quality of the content it has licensed from content owners.
But unless Netflix can find a way to license content at a cost that's lower than the price it charges consumers, this company is in a heap of trouble.
If you think Netflix can figure this out, there are plenty of people willing to sell you their shares.

By day, they sing, act and red carpet-hop. By night, they … work on their Web sites?
Well, maybe not by night -- it's hard to picture a boldface name tapping away on a MacBook after dark instead of swigging champagne at an open bar. But a growing class of celebrities is carving out new personas on the Internet.
For them, it's a place to explore who they might have been had fame not come a'knockin': A lifestyle guru instead of an Oscar winner, a fashion mogul instead of a rapper/producer, a burgeoning thinker instead of a tabloid fixture.
Below, check out some of the stars cultivating Web alter-egos.
Onscreen, she's got street cred: An Oscar for "Shakespeare in Love," starring roles in critically acclaimed films like "The Royal Tenenbaums" and "Proof." But on the Web, Gwyneth Paltrow's bidding to become a lifestyle maven – Martha Stewart meets Oprah Winfrey – and it's arguable whether her fans will take the bait.
Paltrow's new Web site, Goop.com, debuted this week to backlash. First, there's the name, which sounds more appropriate for kids' finger paint than an adult-focused advice site. Then, there's the issue that Paltrow's random musings are organized into sections with amorphous names like "Make," "Go," "Get," "Do," "Be" and "See." But for now, all you'll make, go, get, do, be or see if you click on any of those sections is the following essay, apparently authored by the actress:
"My life is good because I am not passive about it. I want to nourish what is real, and I want to do it without wasting time. I love to travel, to cook, to eat, to take care of my body and mind, to work hard. I love being a mother who has to overcome my bad qualities to be a good mother. I love being in spaces that are clean and feel nice."
"Over the years I have tried lots of different things. I have made lots of mistakes. But I have figured some things out in the process and I would like to share them with you. Whether you want a good place to eat in London, some advice on where to stay in Austin, the recipe I made up this week, or some thoughts from one of my sages, GOOP is a little bit of everything that makes up my life."
"Make your life good. Invest in what's real. Cook a meal for someone you love. Pause before reacting. Clean out your space. Read something beautiful. Treat yourself to something. Go to a city you've never been to. Learn something new. Don't be lazy. Workout and stick with it. GOOP. Make it great."
Make the Web site great, Paltrow, and perhaps they'll come.
He's arguably the hottest rapper/producer in the game -- his last album, "Graduation," sold just shy of a million copies in one week when it debuted last September. Onstage, he's known for his arrogant attitude and ability to put on a show. (West's "Glow in the Dark" tour was less rap show, more apocalyptic space opera, featuring an alien doll descending from above and enough dry ice to drop the heat of the Serengeti.)
But on his blog, West waxes poetic about his passion for fashion, art and design. He dedicates a Sept. 25 post to Prada and Miu Miu designer Miuccia Prada and her spring 2009 collection. He also sings her praises in a Sept. 23 post about the Prada Transformer in Seoul, South Korea, a multifunctional space designed to accommodate different art, cinema and fashion events.

Blog for Iowa's Running Conversation! Hot Topic: Health Care
Blog for Iowa's Running Conversation! Current Hot Topic: Health Care
people have expressed an interest in being able to have a running
conversation on Blog for Iowa. It seems feasible now that we
actually have quite a few people who are interested in posting!
So, I'd like to re-introduce our "new" feature called Open Threads.
Blog for Iowa will keep an open thread up and running in a prominent
position – top, right sidebar of the blog. This way, people can
post in the open thread and a real back-and-forth discussion can take place.
How to Post a Comment on Blog for Iowa
Blog for Iowa now accepts anonymous comments in addition to those of readers who have first logged in to our BlogHarbor / blogware system.
If you do not wish to post anonymously, you need to first create a reader
account. Go to the Log In component on the left sidebar, and
click on Create Reader Account. Then, once you've confirmed your
email address, you need to Log In on the main page of BFIA (left sidebar). THEN
you'll be able to post a comment.
usernames have to be one word – no spaces, all lower case. But you can
choose a nickname which will be displayed when you post a comment, and
the nickname can include spaces, like My Full Name.
We will
not harvest your information after you create a reader account.
You are actually creating a reader account for the entire BlogHarbor
system, our host company, and we have no access to the list.
Blog for Iowa will moderate all comments.
This post will host the Running Conversation, so comment here.
Of course, you are still welcome to comment on other posts. You can use the same procedure mentioned above.
Please note: Try as we might, we could not "fix" the fact that new comments will appear at the bottom of the comments, older comments at the top.
So, speak up! We'd love to hear from you!

The time has come, if you donate to a candidate, you are continuing the system of corruption and greed.
Have candidates legally agree not to take money..and refuse to give any donations……instead post debates/ information on the web, or one webpage, or in the press's discussion rooms.
If they can not do that, then they can not be trusted.
