Mexico's Volcanoes: Team Makes Acclimatization Hike
Posted by: Adam Knoff, JJ Justman | March 03, 2013
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mexico
Elevation: 10,000'
Breakfast came early this morning at the BW Majestic Hotel, located in the heart of the world's second largest city. By 7 am the group was assembled on the Majestic's top floor where the restaurant is located and to our surprise, we could clearly make out the glaciated peak of Ixta far out to the south. This was indeed confirmation that Mexico really does possess snow and ice. A fact most North Americans are unaware of. With our excitement clearly building we loaded the waiting van and headed straight to- oh ya! Wal Mart. Yup, glaciers and Wal Mart, these go hand in hand on successful mountain climbing trips. After we saved a bunch of pesos on today's everyday low price, we gunned it to La Malinche where we moved promptly into our dorm style cabanas and motivated for our first acclimating hike up the flanks of La Malinche itself. With the summit laying a hop skip and jump out of our reach, the team took its final rest break at 13,700 feet and quickly descended. Nothing better to toughen one up! We are now off to dinner and preparations for tomorrow's move to Ixta. Team Orizaba out.

I'm the wife of one of the climbers (Kevin). Just want to wish the team good luck this week. The posted photos are great—much better than watching the sky for the pending snowstorm here in MN.

Description: K2 Aluminum Probe 300
Shorter or flexible probes are adequate for collecting snow-pit data and identifying crevasses, and we hope that's the only time you ever need your probe. But when it's time to locate a buried avalanche victim, saving a few grams on a shorter, more flexible or fragile model could be a fatal mistake. So even though our probes are as light as anything you'll find on the market, we're most proud of the fact that they're among the strongest and stiffest available.
Attention: K2 can be shipped only within the United States and Canada.

Archive for the 'Boston Metropolitan Transit Authority' tag
Boston, 1960
Thanks to David Greenlees over at The Old Motor for today's street scene, though we're sure the drivers of the cars in the photo would think of it as a parking lot scene. The cause for the backup on Boston's Southeast Expressway, according to David, was a Boston Carmen's Union strike of the Metropolitan Transit Authority, which forced commuters to take to their own cars and clog the highways. A little digging turns up news stories on two Boston MTA strikes in the early 1960s: one in August 1960, another in January 1961. Given that some windows are rolled down and the roads are clear of snow, it's a good bet this is the former of the two dates. Reportedly, car traffic increased from 100,000 cars to 250,000 cars in downtown Boston during the 1961 strike. Carspotters, what do you see here?

Many folks planning to celebrate traditional weddings or parties this season also aim to curb their budgets and try something unique. We asked Sophia Paliov in Los Angeles, an "active party planner" to show us how to shape up our own festivities this season:
Game Night. Instead of hosting a typical game night with static board games, try one of the hyper Wii games for fun. "For kids' parties and bar mitzvahs, I suggest the Just Dance, Sports Resorts, Wipe Out or Minute to Win It WII games," says Paliov.
Bachelor(ette) Revelry. Morph your celebration into something healthy with golf getaways, badminton tournaments, tennis lessons for the wedding party or sushi-making dinners. "You can always do the spa afterwards," says Paliov.
Summer BBQ. A poolside cookout is perfect! "Competitive games between all your guests, like water polo is ideal. "Everyone works up an appetite for the main course," she says. "The invitation should remind your guests to bring swimsuits and sunscreen."
Gal's Night. These wild eves usually involve cocktails and fatty food, so turn it into a "Girl's Workout Night" instead, and invite chicks over for a new DVD workout (try Pilates or belly dancing!). "It's the best way to girl-bond, giggle, and get in shape," says Paliov. Afterwards serve a low-cal meal you create together, such as salmon salads with wine spritzers…fun!
Park Picnics. Plan ahead when you pack. Family gatherings should include calorie-smoking volleyball games, a Hackey Sack or Frisbee, and balls for basketball or soccer. For more playful party ideas, log onto galpalfriday.com.

He oversees Jack Trice Stadium, Johnny Majors Practice Facility, Cyclone Sports Complex (soccer/track/softball), Bergstrom Multi-purpose Indoor Facility and all other athletic department grounds. Previous to Iowa State University he was the Associate Director of Facilities/Agronomist at Northwestern University from 2007-2010.

Vision for STMA
My vision for the STMA is to continue to be a world leader in information, networking, and education for the Sports Turf manager. I would also like to see our organization continue to include and fund the participation of our student members. I have the opportunity to work with students on a daily basis and am reminded daily that our future sits firmly with the young men and women that are currently choosing sport turf management as their career. I also see the STMA continuing to reach out to coaches, athletic directors, and any other persons that make decisions that impact the safety of athletes around the world. The STMA has given me many tools that I use daily in my workplace. I would be honored to give back to an organization that has given me so much.

Ford Police Interceptor V-6 Gets Higher MPG than any Police Ford Ever
Imagine that a bar in the back just the the thing for wealthy soccer mums
Casting further doubt, the Bentley SUV is the brainchild of Wolfgang Durheimer whom has been quick to point out that the board has yet to give the greenlight for production of the vehicle.
We forget car companies are profit-motivated corporations. The bottom line always wins out. So I agree it was a good business call, there are no SUVs in that price point.
People who want over-priced SUVs are stuck with blowing money on only the Range Rover. I guess the Continental GT is as sporty as a upscale luxury brand should get??? Besides, with the R8 and Aventadors of the world, does VW need another halo car competing with itself?
If you knew any of the people who buy Bentleys, you would know they won't be "towing boats" with it.
The closest thing to heavy hauling that an ultra luxury SUV will see is the occasional bag of golf clubs.
The Ferrari FF crossover is A) already in production.
The Maserati SUV is A) confirmed for production and B) will be available in 2013.
Audi has confirmed that the Lamborghini SUV is A) a concept that will be unveiled in April and B) is confirmed for production no later than 2016 and C) will share the SAME platform as both the Bentley and the Audi Q7. That means the Bentley won't see production until 2016.
The Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition is the only ultra-lux SUV on the market.
Right on. At this time there's nothing out there for those who can't stand towing their Cigarette Boat with something as common as a Caddy, or have 200K burning a whole in their pocket and a passion for command seating positions. As you pointed out, Infidel is way off, the market is wide open. This is a no brainer for Bentley.
Everything you listed either 1) isn't an SUV, 2) hasn't been built yet, or 3) isn't a competitor. IF Bentley can get it out quick enough, it'll own the market. For how long, who knows? If it takes 4 years to crank it out, who knows what will be on the market by then? Those other proposed Ultra Lux SUVs (NOT Escalades or even Cayennes) may or may not make it to market first if they ever even make it at all.
From an auto enthusiast point of view: No
From a business point of view: Yes
Considering a lot of people here lack business sense, and would prefer government involvement to cover up extremely bad business choices... I have to agree with the ignorant people and say, "Bentley, build a sports car, if it fails, the tax payers will be glad to bail you out."
I agree. After they build the SUV, they'll have enough cash to build the sports car and whatever else they had planned. Also, people buy Bentleys because they are luxurious, not necessarily because they're sporty.
The Ultra Lux market has no players, so they will own it? Not true. In the Ultra Lux SUV market, there is plenty of competition on the horizon:
1. Ferrari's current production all-wheel drive FF hatchback crossover, while not "technically" an SUV, leaves little doubt as to why it was built.
2. Maserati, Ferrari's bastard cousin, will soon offer the Kubang, built on the Jeep platform.
3. Lamborghini has confirmed plans to offer an SUV/crossover, the model to be revealed in April.
And then there are all the other Luxury SUVs and crossovers currently on the market offered by Porsche, Range Rover, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Cadillac, etc.
The Lux/Ultra Lux SUV market is crowded and growing moreso every day.
I just hope if Rolls attempts to do they make a monster SUV,
For Bentley it's the right call. They'll make a lot more $ with this than with a sports car. The profit margin on luxury SUV's is huge, and the ultra-lux market of SUVs has no players, so they'll own it. Sports cars tend to have lower profit margins, more fickle sales, shorter product lifes, and tons of competition. Just don't expect to sell many exotic SUV posters.
from a business standpoint, yes. just look at all the money the Cayenne is bringing Porsche

The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes monthly Consumer Price Indexes (CPI) which show the change in living costs as a percentage over prior month and over the prior twelve months. As the Wenatchee area does not have the requisite population to constitute a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), an index number is not generated for this region. BLS does publish a West CPI index monthly which encompasses the thirteen westernmost states. In addition, they publish a West B/C index, which is for all size classes less than 1,500,000.
The Information for selected Western Metropolitan Cities as well as the U. S. City Average for all urban consumers is also published monthly and can be found at ftp://126.96.36.199/pub/special.requests/sanfrancisco/pacities.txt
*Size Class: B/C = less than 1,500,000 population
Release date July 15, 2009. The next monthly releases and semi-annual releases are scheduled for August 14, 2009. The next bi-monthly releases are scheduled to be issued September 16, 2009..
Using the CPI Index for Escalator Clauses
The Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly recommends users adopt the U.S. City Average CPI for all urban consumers for use in escalator clauses. For further information on using the CPI for escalation purposes, reference information from the BLS publication "How to Use the Consumer Price Index for Escalation", is available online at http://www.bls.gov

In today's fast paced world, people are constantly trying to get things done quicker and more efficient. Technology is always evolving to make everyday tasks faster. This 'need for speed' analogy especially holds true when it comes to the Internet.
When searching for an Internet provider, look for one that offers a variety of speeds. You want to make sure you choose the right speed for you based on your online activities as well as the number of people in your house that will be utilizing the connection. If you have a lot of devices that will be relying on your connection, a higher speed will prove necessary for a good experience.
Windstream, offers multiple high speed internet packages at affordable prices. They have higher speeds to accommodate the multiple device household as well as lower speeds for users with basic online activity.
There are many reasons users prefer a faster internet connection. A higher internet speed will reduce the amount of time it takes a page to load and files to download. Depending on your speed you can load a page in less than 1 second. Think of how many pages you load in an average day; if you load 200 pages a day and save at least a second from your current loading times, you are saving over 3 minutes a day. Add this up over a year and that's over 18 hours of saved time, just from faster loading times!
If that's not enough think about how long it takes to download a file on your current speed. Have you ever had to leave your computer on while you weren't using it just to let things finish downloading? Wouldn't it be nice to get downloads faster and not have to wait hours before you can view them? Subscribing to a higher internet speed will make this a reality.
A faster internet speed can definitely enhance your online experience. Depending on your online activities, the need for a faster connection may be inevitable. When choosing the right speed for you take into consideration the number of users and devices that will be relying on the connection as well as what activities will be performed.

Is Dominic Bowden the next Ryan Seacrest?

The Sitcom Room: So you think you can write?
How many times have you watched a sitcom on TV and thought, "Hey, I could do that?" Last weekend, twenty aspiring writers came together at the LAX Hilton to test that theory.

To me, the event was the ultimate summer camp for aspiring writers and/or TV geeks....
American Idol producer admits to season six mistakes

If the Sopranos were on network TV
I'll admit I was first "miffled" by most ambiguous ending ever in the history of series endings. But I'm beginning to come around to the the side that sees The Sopranos finale as "brilliant" rather than "lame." David Chase left us wanting more, and that's pretty awesome. Besides, according to Ken Levine, it could have been a lot worse. On his blog, Ken, a veteran sitcom writer, hilariously remind...

Ithaca, NY and Augusta, GA—New studies have shown that maternal intake of the nutrient choline during pregnancy can have a positive impact on the neural functions of children born with Down syndrome, as well as those whose mothers consumed alcohol during the first trimester. Choline, found in egg yolks, liver, nuts, broccoli and cauliflower, is part of several major phospholipids that are critical for normal membrane structure and function according to the Journal of Nutrition Web site. This nutrient is also present in numerous brain support supplements.

The state of Maryland was one of 46 states, five territories and the District of Columbia to benefit from the 1999 multi-state lawsuit against the cigarette manufacturers. Subsequently, in the summer of 1999, the Maryland General Assembly announced a 10-year, $1 billion comprehensive plan to use tobacco settlement funds to conquer cancer. Named the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund Program, these monies are targeted toward cancer research, prevention and care, smoking prevention and cessation programs, substance abuse programs, tobacco farmers' crop conversion and health care for those without adequate insurance coverage.
The University of Maryland Medical Group, which consists of the University of Maryland Baltimore, the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the University of Maryland Medical System, is partnering with the state to create and implement a comprehensive plan aimed at helping to reduce Maryland's mortality rate from cancer and other tobacco-related diseases.
Highlights of the University of Maryland Medical Group plan for fiscal year 2004:
The Cigarette Restitution Fund Program has provided funds for the development of key infrastructure and facilities to support research aimed at significantly improving cancer diagnosis, treatment and care. For example:
Through the above initiatives and with continued funding, the University of Maryland Medical Group is committed to making a real difference in the lives of Marylanders with cancer and other tobacco-related diseases.

Edward Forty Hands: How to playAugust 6th, 2008 by PJ
Edward 40 Hands is a great time had by all…well, all who can drink two 40's. If you can't, read on anyways because we have another option for you. According to wikipedia (the source of all truth) the game is also known as "80 oz to freedom" and "The 40 Challenge." Whatever you call it, here's the rules:
1. Have a friend duct tape a 40 oz of malt liquor to each hand (or both hands to one 40oz if you're taking it easy). The last person to tape in will have a harder time, but with some ingenuity they can manage.
2. Nobody can remove the 40's from their hands until they're finished drinking all 80 ounces of beer.
That's it, those essentially are the two official rules. You can add some competition to the game by racing to finish, but completing the game is a solid accomplishment, so I wouldn't worry about racing. You are allowed to go to the bathroom, answer the phone, have a smoke, whatever – that is, as long as your hands are still taped to those quickly-warming 40oz beers. If you can do that, cheers. It's funny though, I've seen some very awkward times when a slow-drinking gent has to request a male friend to pull his pants zipper down. And that's really just half the battle to emptying the bladder. The other half requires a weird wiggle dance…I guess you'll figure it out if you have to.
The true beauty of the 40cozy is displayed when you use two 40cozy's, one on each hand. With these on your paws, you'll be able to take as long as you want, as your beer won't become warm for a long time. The only thing that will rush your drinking is the increasing urge to urinate.
Don't worry about the duct tape ruining the 40cozy's, they come out looking great afterward. Next time you and your friends are sitting around with nothing to do, go buy a case of 40's and strap up. Drink strong!

Wetlands and Wonder: Reconnecting Children with Nearby Nature (2008)
As more Americans dwell in cities and suburbs, our society becomes increasingly distanced from the natural world. This absence of everyday connections to nature has many negative effects-especially for children. Pockets of remaining wetland in developed areas often provide the easiest access to nature. Yet these wetlands may be degraded and go unnoticed. Urban and suburban wetlands are valuable resources to be restored, protected and enjoyed. These remnants of the natural world in the human landscape can play a key role in reconnecting people to nearby nature-thereby improving the health of our children and our communities.

Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki will testify next week about recent allegations that his department covered up treatment delays for patients who died while waiting for care, according to a congressional panel.
The Senate Veterans Affairs Committee scheduled the hearing for next Thursday, announcing the move shortly after the House Veterans Affairs Committee agreed unanimously on Thursday to subpoena top VA officials for documents related to the growing controversy.
The decisions, which increase pressure for the VA to answer for the allegations, came three days after the American Legion called for Shinseki and two other key department officials to resign.
The House panel approved its motion through a unanimous voice vote, marking the first subpoena under the chairmanship of Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.).
"It is unfortunate that we have to come to this decision, but we did not do so without substantial justification," Miller said before the vote. "The last few weeks have been a model of VA stonewalling, which precipitated the need for a subpoena."
The chairman said his staff contacted the VA's Office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs twice last week with no response. He added that the department finally provided a response on Wednesday, but that the answers did not fully answer his questions.
Miller had demanded to know why the VA took eight days to order the preservation of all potential electronic and paper evidence of the alleged cover-up after he requested the action at an April 9 hearing.
The VA said it plans to review the subpoena and respond to it. The department added that it is conducting face-to-face audits nationwide at all clinics for every VA medical center.
"VA takes any allegations about patient care or employee misconduct very seriously," the department said in a statement. "VA invited the independent VA Office of Inspector General to conduct a thorough and timely review at the VA Phoenix Health Care System, and the department is fully cooperating with that investigation."
At least two whistleblowers have said the Phoenix medical center developed a "secret waiting list" to hide delays, possibly affecting dozens of patients who died while waiting for care.
Similarly, a review by the VA's Office of the Medical Inspector found that a department clinic in Fort Collins, Colo., falsified appointment records to give the impression that staff doctors had seen patients within the agency's goal of 14 days. USA Today first revealed the findings in an article Sunday.
The VA has placed three of its executives on administrative leave over the Phoenix matter. The officials include the medical center's director, Sharon Helman, as well as its associate director, Lance Robinson, and a third unidentified employee.
The White House indicated Monday that President Obama stands behind Shinseki and is confident that he will take appropriate action in response to the inspector general's findings once the investigation is complete.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars disagreed Monday with the American Legion's call for resignations, instead demanding strong action from Shinseki and greater congressional oversight rather than removals.
The American Customer Satisfaction Index shows that the VA health network, which serves more than 8 million veterans, achieved marks equal to or better than those in the private sector in 2013.

Motorola's Endeavor HX1 Bluetooth Headset Boasts Bone Conduction Tech
Motorola's handset division might be in a serious slump, but that hasn't deterred them from developing new products. Announced today, the Endeavor HX1 Bluetooth headset combines Motorola's CrystalTalk noise cancellation technology with something the company is calling 'stealth mode', which is just brand speak for bone conduction technology. Pushing a button activates the mode and using the same technology as special military forces the headset uses an ear sensor to seal off outside noise (instead of a microphone, like some other Bluetooth headsets), and cancels all ambient noise in what the company calls the 'the fiercest environments' so you can hear and be heard. Motorola has also tossed in voice prompts to guide you through the setup process and a 7 hour talk time on a single charge. No word on price, but it will go on sale in Asia this July.
Full release after the 'leap'
Motorola Endeavor HX1 Takes Calls Where No Headset Has Gone Before Global
Headset Leader Introduces a Revolutionary Audio Experience with a Stealth Mode that Activates True Bone Conduction Technology
June 18, 2009
LIBERTYVILLE, Ill. – June 18, 2008 – Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT), the world leader in Bluetooth headsets, today unveils Motorola Endeavor HX1, the first headset to combine Motorola's CrystalTalk™ noise cancellation technology with a stealth mode so you can hear and be heard in the fiercest environments. When the stealth mode is activated, true bone conduction technology relays only your voice while knocking out the most extreme noise and wind for a revolutionary premium headset experience. This experience makes Motorola Endeavor the only Bluetooth1 headset to use true bone conduction technology, all without compromising comfort.
"Motorola Endeavor HX1 adds a new level of audio superiority to our industry leading portfolio and is made for people who want the freedom to take hands-free calls despite extreme noise and wind environments," said Wayne White, corporate vice president, companion products, Motorola Mobile Devices. "Whether you are driving in a convertible, attending a concert or standing on a busy street, Motorola Endeavor allows you to hear and be heard."
The Truth about Bone Conduction Technology
Created with the same bone conduction technology that special military forces around the world use, Motorola Endeavor is not your average headset. Activated with a touch of a button, the stealth mode instantly triggers bone conduction technology. This technology uses an ear sensor to seal off outside noise, rather than relying on an exposed exterior microphone. As you speak, the sensor taps your vocal vibrations and seamlessly converts them to speech so the listener hears your voice and only your voice.
Every Word Will be Heard
Whether you find yourself battling everyday noise nuisances or extreme sound environments, Motorola Endeavor helps you fight back with the power and technology to make hands-free calls wherever you roam. Motorola's award-winning CrystalTalk™ noise cancellation technology is always-on to reduce everyday background noise, and the stealth mode is easily activated with the press of a button, so you can be confident that you are being heard when the noise around you becomes too disruptive.
Power Up
Motorola's Multipoint technology allows you to connect to more than one device, and you can talk more and charge less with up to seven hours of talk time. With voice prompts that instruct you on how to activate the stealth mode and how to pair with handsets, getting started has never been easier.
Motorola Endeavor HX1 will be available in multiple regions beginning with Asia in July 2009. For specific regional availability and pricing, contact your local Motorola representative. To experience Motorola Endeavor HX1, please visit www.motorola.com/endeavor-hx1.

Beyonce, Jay Z Bail on Kim Kardashian, Kanye West Wedding, Spend Weekend in Hamptons
Bey and Jay, no Kimye?! It turns out that not all A-list invitees decided to head to Europe for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's long-awaited nuptials. Multiple sources reveal exclusively to Us Weekly that Beyonce and husband Jay Z bailed on the couple's Florence, Italy wedding today.
The pair, instead, decided to head to the Hamptons during the Memorial Day Weekend holiday, sources tell Us. (Vogue's Anna Wintour also declined their invitation due to a family obligation.)
Kardashian, 33, and West, 36, were photographed arriving at their wedding location just hours before the ceremony Saturday morning. Beyonce, meanwhile, was laying in bed. The "Drunk in Love" singer, 32, posted a makeup-free Instagram picture of herself amid the wedding chaos showing off her new long braids.
PHOTOS: Stars who've been wed three times or more
She later posted a picture from Kardashian and West's spread in Vogue. "Wishing you a lifetime of unconditional love," she wrote. "God bless your beautiful family."
As previously reported, Jay Z was expected to join other stars like John Legend, Chrissy Teigen, and Serena Williams at Forte di Belvedere. If he attended, he would have also bumped into fashion designer Rachel Roy.
PHOTOS: Celebrity wedding dress predictions
Needless to say, it wasn't a pretty sight the last time Jay Z and Roy interacted. Earlier this month, Roy, 40, provoked Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles during a Met Gala afterparty, leading to the family's now infamous elevator fight. Beyonce and Jay Z have since reunited with Solange in New Orleans and were last photographed in NYC on May 22.

what to do when your body starts to tingle?
take a cold shower.
turn on the fan.
drink some water.
turn off the R&B;
blow out the scented
look around and it will all start to make sense...
" what to do when my body starts to tingle?"
place a pillow between your burning thighs and remember that you are single!
My Heart has been asleep.
Boa constrictor
coiled --
with all his strength.
Heart numb,
there is no feeling
constrict --
tighter, tighter --
I cannot breathe.
He releases my Heart;
he does not want it
any longer.
Heart still asleep --
I cannot move.
To move is to feel pain.
Heart mangled --
he slithers away,
so unfeeling --
he cannot love.
But slowly,
light, dark,
light, dark,
Heart begins -- ever so slowly
to tingle.
How can I miss you
when I've never even met you
and how am I so sure
my soul will never forget you...?
You bring to my face
a smile, not well-hidden,
as I lose myself in daydreams
and feel my heart quicken.
It's hard to believe
the tingle you've awoken
as you mend the many parts of me
he had once left broken.
And neither of us knows
the direction this is going-
yet, despite the lingering questions,
I am still left knowing
that I really miss you
though I've never even met you...
and beyond the end of time
my soul will not forget you...
(yep, grinning again...)
Run through that land,
Use nothing but your hand,
Rub the surface into tranquility,
Surf on the skin nightly,
Don't forget to stop and slow down,
You have nothing to fear, come on now,
Oh this familiar tingle,
This peculiar electric feel,
Have the heavens anything to offer?
Have dreams anything to peruse?
Has life anything left to uncover?
Melodies ~ ringing on soft cool winds,
dangling from tiny strings in metallic forms
Swaying in harmony with your smile
reflecting the mid day sun
in glimmering highlights of whipped cream whispers
on wings of stained glass dreams
For it was that day you kissed me,
for the very first time ~
(When buttercups blushed as I held them to your chin)
and my lips tingled, unending,
understanding this was more than just a touching of skin,
a melted meeting of two
~Music called to us from the branches above,
serenading our hearts in sweet blissful sounds
on soft grasses, fingers intertwined~
Your eyes, hypnotized me there, in that place
and you kissed me again…this one held
Passion breathing, love had found me
coiled about me and clung to me
On that day, unlike any other
I could imagine…I fell for you
Now as cool winds blow
and leaves cascade in multicolored waves
That wind chime, suspended from that old maple rings,
singing sweetly of that first kiss,
a musical remembrance of that day
of which no reminder needs due ~ for my lips they still tingle
a button popped from my lips: "hello," I said
and the whole world may have heard it
first I got used to waiting
second I got used
then I just got used to it
somehow I still see landscapes
the strand of hair trespassing your brow
transfigures into a palm tree leaf
and when you speak
flocks of pigeons fly from your mouth
visions from a night we melted tongues
my hand sunk inside your abdomen
your face could never be empty space again,
I said
I was wrong when I knew everything
twenty years, one third asleep
my most coherent thoughts occurred in dreams
'bout seven years of clarity to my name
so now I say,
it's okay
it's okay that you were broken for a little while
That feeling
That tingle
That want
That need
Its coming back
So silent- unseen
Ill sneak a quick one
No one will see
'Cause I'm the happy girl
Sadness can't be
I don't cut
I don't burn
I don't stab
I just yearn
For that next quick fix
Oh when will I learn?
I scratch
and I scratch
and I scratch
and I scratch
Until I look at my arm
and see one bare patch.
Where the skin is removed
A scab will soon form
Then my arm will heal
So nice and warm.
I feel disgraced
and say never again
I believe myself
But I go insane
As the cycle restarts
And I begin my peeling
I think back and remember
That feeling
That tingle
That want
That need
Its coming back
So silent- unseen...
That inexplicable fluttering in the stomach
a feeling in the air almost like held breath
if you keep still and silent
you can almost hear something coming
not music
not voices
but a silent tension that heralds
and i feel if i wait long enough
something exciting is going to happen
to me
any second now
if i can just keep still and quiet enough...
although what i expect to happen at my age
i don't know
it happens at the begining of every summer
and I feel a girl again
full of breathless inexplicable excitment
where you know anything can happen
and will...

DES MOINES, Iowa - An official with the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) union was sentenced Friday to a year and a day in federal prison for harboring illegal aliens employed at the Swift & Company processing plant in Marshalltown, Iowa. This sentencing resulted from an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that also included the December 2006 arrests of 1,297 illegal aliens employed at Swift plants in six states.
Braulio Pereyra-Gabino was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Ronald E. Longstaff, who also ordered him to pay a $2,000 fine. Pereya-Gabino was convicted May 8 by a federal jury. During the trial prosecutors demonstrated that Pereya-Gabino concealed illegal aliens, and shielded them from detection in a building at the Swift & Company plant at 402 North 10th Ave. in Marshalltown, Iowa.
"This sentence sends a clear message that criminal charges and prison time are very real consequences of facilitating the employment of illegal aliens," said Estela Biesemeyer, resident agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in Des Moines. "Working in partnership with the U.S. Attorney's Office, ICE has made it a priority to pursue criminal charges against those who engage in identity theft, and also those who allow such fraud to flourish in the workplace."
Pereyra-Gabino was arrested July 10, 2007, along with Chris Lamb, a human resources employee, in Marshalltown. Lamb, a 17-year Swift employee, was also charged with harboring illegal aliens. He pleaded guilty to the charge and was sentenced to probation earlier this year.
The criminal arrests of Braulio-Pereyra and Lamb followed the Dec. 12, 2006, administrative arrests of 1,297 illegal aliens when agents executed civil search warrants at Swift facilities in the following six cities: Marshalltown, Iowa; Grand Island, Neb.; Worthington, Minn.; Greeley, Colo.; Hyrum, Utah; and Cactus, Texas. Subsequently, 274 of those arrested were criminally charged with identity theft or using fraudulent documents. ICE administratively arrested an additional 18 illegal aliens during a subsequent two-day operation at the six plants July 10 and 11, 2007.
Since ICE was established in March 2003, it has dramatically enhanced its efforts to combat the unlawful employment of illegal aliens in this country. ICE's comprehensive strategy for worksite enforcement is aimed at promoting national security and public safety, protecting critical infrastructure, and ensuring fair labor standards.
So far in fiscal year 2008 (October 2007 through July 11, 2008), ICE has made 937 criminal arrests in connection with worksite enforcement investigations. Of those, 99 involve owners, managers, supervisors or human resources employees who face charges ranging from harboring to knowingly hiring illegal aliens. In addition to the criminal arrests, ICE has made more than 3,500 administrative arrests for immigration violations during worksite investigations in that same time frame. Last year, ICE made more than 4,900 arrests in worksite enforcement cases, including 863 involving criminal violations. Last year's figure represents a 45-fold increase in criminal worksite arrests compared to fiscal year 2001. Furthermore, in fiscal year 2007, ICE obtained more than $31 million in criminal fines, restitutions and civil judgments as a result of worksite related enforcement actions.

Vince Neilstein is Co-Editor-In-Chief of the influential metal blog Metalsucks. Known for its snarky commentary, irreverent attitude, interviews, album reviews, and breaking news from the metal world, Metalsucks also offers sharp observations on how technology is changing the way we consume and create music. By Scott Borchert
You're a big supporter of streaming services like Spotify—is that how we'll all be listening to music in a few years?
I believe that we will all be listening to music through streaming services, yes. Maybe it'll be Spotify, maybe some other, newer platform, but I don't see any other way about it. The people have spoken, and the people have said that what they want is an a la carte streaming service for a low monthly price. People are starting to care less and less about file ownership, but it will be gradual, just as the switch from CDs to digital was.
Some labels seem to be adapting to that change, and some are still resisting it. You've had a few arguments with representatives of different labels on this question. Why the reluctance—is it a bad deal, economically, for the labels? How about the artists?
It's a "bad" deal only in that everyone (artists and labels) will be getting paid a whole lot less. But I think labels and artists have to be honest with themselves: music is not worth what it used to be worth. And by "worth," I mean that value is determined by the buyers, not the manufacturers. For the longest time the music manufacturers controlled value because they controlled distribution—getting product into stores—and could charge whatever they want. Now the playing field is a whole lot more level, and you're seeing the bubble burst.
So the digital media revolution – and streaming services in particular – is changing the entire economic model from the way music has been produced for most of the 20th century. Do you think this is the end of labels as we know them, since the internet is making some of their functions obsolete?
I think there will always be a place for music industry professionals. The knowledge and expertise they bring to the table in terms of how to market a band, their professional contacts, setting up deals, etc., are not things that most band members have, nor do most band dudes have time for that stuff even if they do have the knowledge. But the economic model of who those people are and how/what they get paid is certainly changing. Sales of recorded music are on the decline and I don't see that trend reversing. Everyone will be earning less money, for sure.
It sounds like this new situation is perfect for the kind of artist who makes music because they love it, is able and willing to handle a lot of the work themselves (as far as production and distribution) and doesn't expect to make a living off of it. Would you say that's true? And is it getting harder and harder for artists to make a full-time living through their music?
I agree with all of that. As the pool of money diminishes because recorded music is no longer a factor, artists will look to other sources of revenue… but those sources probably won't replace what's missing. It'll definitely be harder to make a living because you won't be able to sit back and collect royalties anymore—you have to be out there workin' it just like everyone else. You're already seeing it—dudes in bands we consider "big" have day jobs when they aren't touring.
So maybe the days of the highly paid, professional musician are over, at least outside of the big time pop industry. I think you might have written something like this on Metalsucks, but is what we're seeing a kind of return to a more popular era of music, before recordings were mass produced and the entire recording industry apparatus was necessary to package it and distribute it? When people made their own music, and shared it with each other, and anyone who felt like it could get in on it—except, are we moving toward some version of that mediated by the internet? With the implication being that you can't make a career out of creating and playing music, but you can make a satisfying hobby out of it.
Well, I do believe there will be some people who can make a living at it. But those people will need a higher threshold of popularity than during most of the 20th century, and they'll have to constantly be out on the road their whole lives.
Speaking of the road, where does live music fit into all this? Are concerts more crucial than ever before?
More crucial in what way?
Well, in one sense, to making up for lost revenue that, in the old days, would have come from album sales?
Yes, definitely. Bands are already touring a lot more than they used to.
Is that something you've noticed over the last few years, or more like the last decade or so?
I've only really been paying attention over the past 5 years or so, but based on what I've seen and what guys in bands are telling me, it's really picked up during that period.
The flip side of this touring question is that you have more artists now that can't (or don't) tour, because it's one dude in his house, making an entire album on his laptop.
That's definitely true. There are a whole lot more hobbyists.
With the ease of distribution via the internet and better home recording techniques, how has this explosion of new artists changed the whole musical landscape? More mediocre stuff to wade through? Or a more diverse, and maybe better, range of material to listen to?
Yes, that's exactly it—a shit ton of mediocre material. Now that it's easy and cheap to record something of good quality, that factor of separating good from bad is out of the equation. So what you're left with is to discern how good the songs are and if the band is bringing anything new or interesting to the table. And for the most part, at least based on the stuff bands send us daily, there's a whole fuck load of passable material that isn't distinguishable from others in its sub-genre in any way.
The flipside of that is that because there's SO MUCH content out there,
even though a lower PERCENTAGE of it is good, there's a greater amount of good stuff on the whole. You just have to find it. Sadly, the "finding it" part will be harder than ever because of the collapsing industry… but that's just how it's gonna be, like it or not.
Sure. But then, there's the role for online criticism and commentary, sites like your own, which in a way are kind of the product of the same forces that are spewing out all this new material—ease of access, etc. You just have to "find" the right sites and commentary to help navigate all the new music out there.
Definitely. Two sides to that coin. But just the same that anyone now can make a mediocre recording, anyone now can make a mediocre blog. So you have to sift through those too.
A few weeks back, Metalsucks was part of the mass online protests against SOPA, where you "censored" articles and urged readers to sign a petition. Why join that protest, and what's at stake?
SOPA (and its Senate counterpart PIPA) were short-sighted attempts at stopping Internet piracy. Due to the way the bills were written, not only would they have completely failed in stopping piracy (due to the authors' not understanding the complexities of how the Internet works) but they would've caused a lot of collateral damage, trampling all over a free Internet.
Running Metalsucks, you're in a unique position to interact with fans and artists all over the world—what have you learned about the metal community, and what's surprised you?
I knew metal had a huge presence worldwide, but I didn't know quite the size and scope. It's really remarkable all the emails and comments we get from people in every corner of the earth.
Lastly, what are you listening to these days?
Just now I was jamming a "Cascadian" black metal band called Wildernessking. Good stuff.

Ready for the Rebound
Feeling sassy and ready to be back!
The Detroit media blitz continues -- this time, a nice read in the Washington Post.
"In a new Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation-Harvard University poll about Detroit, almost all residents of the main three-county metropolitan area see their economy as in ruins. About half say this is a bad place to raise a family; as many describe a declining standard of living, swelling debt, deteriorating neighborhoods and a brutal job market.
A steadfast optimism, however, shines through the poll. A large majority of residents expect that things will get better, with 63 percent optimistic about the area's future and the same percentage expecting their finances to improve over the next decade."
I added the boldface print -- because I believe that to be absolutely true.
However, I will temper my outrageous, caffeine-fueled enthusiasm with this next point from the article -- it is the scary stuff.
A highlight:
The long struggle here has significance beyond Detroit -- the state has been battered by lost tax revenue, a weakened economy and the highest statewide jobless rate -- resonating throughout the nation. "The plight of these people is also in a way our plight," said Clyde Prestowitz, president of the Economic Strategy Institute, a Washington-based public policy group that studies globalization and its impact. If one part of the country loses the jobs that support it, he said, the rest of the country pays.
"Michigan is the harbinger," Prestowitz said. "Some think that it is just the auto industry, but the same dynamics that have undercut the auto and manufacturing industries of Michigan are also undercutting the high-tech labs in Silicon Valley and they're also undercutting medical services in Pittsburgh."

This Life's for You
As a means of creating the ultimate autobiographical document,My Life - a CD-ROM packaged in a metal film canister - promises to ask about "your every feeling, thought, and memory." It comes darn close to doing so. Fifty thousand beefy, probing questions are the disc's most impressive, if overwhelming, feature. Yet even for the very patient, completing My Life and reproducing your life in electronic form may take more time than you have in this lifetime.
Instead, try a selective approach to this self-inflicted interrogation. To navigate the disc, use its multilevel map with 235 topics grouped under headings such as Who Am I, What I Have Done, and My Sexual History, each leading to wagonloads of questions. Remember, you don't have to talk about the relationship that failed years ago. And believe it or not, whenMy Life asks about your first experience with a magazine and a flashlight, you aren't required to provide a memorial. Instead, have some fun recalling your favorite baby-sitter. Look back on those people you hated. Record your favorite salad recipe for the benefit of future generations. The casual user will pick and choose, wandering through questions while enjoying references and quotes from Matt Groening, Harry Crews, and Socrates. For most,My Life will be an entertaining memoir, not an obsession.
Your autobiography, in all its glorious detail, is preserved for posterity by burning it on CD-ROM or putting it on the free Life.com Web site. The software tutorial helps with each step, although you need the right equipment to add images and sound. Somewhat strangely, each individual collection of personal information is accompanied by the same semitransparent company logo that shows up onscreen. In fact, the very act of popping Grandma in the computer seems rather too much like Wesley Crusher learning about his dad onStar Trek.
As for the free Web site, I started creating mine and ran into a 10-page memorandum of rights and responsibilities; I was most put off by Life.com's additional feature of creating an extensive user profile of me for its advertisers. Evidently the company's ultimate vision involves a world of My Life converts, their well-organized and integrated selves displayed proudly on the Web - and brought to you by Bud Lite.

Video: Driver injured after semi strikes Denver bridge
DENVER - A semi truck driver has been cited in an accident that shut down a portion of Interstate 25 in Denver for more than four hours Monday.
A semi truck, in the wrong lane, hit the Speer Boulevard overpass sending concrete flying onto the highway.
One woman was seriously hurt and police cited the truck driver for careless driving resulting in serious bodily injury, a misdemeanor charge.
Crews with the Colorado Department of Transportation and Denver police closed southbound I-25 at Speer Boulevard at 11 a.m. and reopened the interstate by 3:15 p.m.
The overpass that was hit has minor damage but engineers say it's structurally safe and there is no danger to drivers below.
CDOT crews will make some minor repairs in the coming weeks.
For truckers, the risk of clipping an overpass is real and knowledge is critical, according to CDOT spokesperson Mindy Crane.
"Know the size of your load. The height, the width," Crane said.
Crane says signs are posted up and down I-25 telling truckers exactly how much room they have.
"We actually have signage about two miles back [from the Speer overpass]," Crane said.
The inner lanes of the Speer overpass clear 16 feet 8 inches, which is more than high enough for the truck involved in the accident, which had a height of 14 feet 4 inches.
The outer lanes are just 13 feet, so when the semi stayed in the far left lane the top of its trailer clipped the bridge.
"[It] brought down debris on several vehicles below," Denver police spokesman Sonny Jackson said.
Jackson says chucks of concrete and metal damaged four cars and smashed through a woman's windshield.
"She has serious bodily injuries to her head," Jackson said.
Jackson says the woman is badly hurt but expected to survive.
Her two kids were in the back seat and were not hurt.
"They were fine. There was no injury," Jackson said.
9NEWS has learned the truck belongs to crane operator RMS Cranes, which has offices in Denver, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo.
"Our biggest concern right now is for the lady who was injured. It looks like driver error. He shouldn't have been in that lane. He should've known better," RMA Safety director Rocky Wilson said.
Wilson says it was an "experienced driver," but didn't say how long he's been with the company.
CDOT says the Speer overpass is more than 60 years old, built in 1952.
Before the accident, the bridge scored a safety rating of 60.4 out of 100. 50 and below means the bridge needs to be replaced.
"It's not in poor condition, but it's getting close to that point," Crane said, adding CDOT will close any bridge deemed unsafe for traffic.
Crane says trucks have hit four bridges in the metro area in the last four months.
Crane says bridge collisions previously occurred at I-25 and East 88th Avenue, I-70 and I-270, and I-76 and Dahlia Street.
"Anytime a bridge is hit we are always going to inspect it. We're always going to make sure our bridges are safe," Crane said.

Grocer & Grind in Bali
There's something very 'Sydney' about Seminyak. If it weren't for the tropical heat, delightful scent of incense, cluttered temples and constant drum of scooters, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were shopping in Paddington, hanging out in Bondi, or dining in Surry Hills. And when it comes to the very Sydney habit of heading out for Sunday brunch, you can't go past Seminyak's Grocer and Grind.
