Juan Diego Catholic High School Reviews
Just Average
We have been part the Juan Diego community for a long time. All of our children have attended this school. Overall the academics at Juan Diego are marginal. Our children took AP and honor classes and the quality of their education was average. Our children had to do a lot of self-learning and we had to essentially "home school" for a few years. They just do not pay the teachers enough and expect them to manage class sizes of 28+. Being a 3A school our children had an opportunity to get involved in sports, debate, and the arts. The debate program is excellent thanks to the debate leader and team. However, we were very disappointed in the overall leadership of the school. There are no checks / balances with family members running the school. We thought the faculty did the best they could given the administration they had to work with. Our children had an overall positive experience, but in hindsight, we could have saved $40K per child and sent them to a public high school where the academics are the same if not better. My children have graduated and all say they wished they would have gone to public school instead. Do your homework before making a serious commitment.
My rating for JD vs. public school might be higher than 2 stars, but I have much higher expectations for a school that costs as much as it does. My rating is JD vs. Judge, the other Catholic option in Salt Lake. I have had one son graduate from JD and another complete his first 2 years of high school at JD. We have now transferred to Judge. I completely agree with the review below about the 'crumbling academic atmosphere' at JD. We thought our kids would receive a very good college preparatory education at JD--similar to what Judge offers. I can tell you that in our experience the 2 schools don't even compare in terms of education. Despite our oldest son earning a >3.5 GPA each year, his test scores dropped dramatically from freshman year to senior year. We were extremely disappointed when college testing time came around. Like the other reviewer, I agree that the writing skills taught are sub-par. I was also extremely disappointed in the math program. Our middle son is struggling to catch up with his peers at Judge. Yes, I am a disgruntled former parent because our family has made extraordinary sacrifices to educate our kids in the Catholic school system. We feel like we were duped.
I have visited Juan Diego High School on numerous occasions to do volunteer work... I have to say, growing up Catholic, I always wanted to go to a Catholic school, and what a relief it would have been to be among those of my own religion! However, in the many times that I have volunteered my time, as well as others I was accompanied by, I was seriously disappointed!
Do parents nor teachers teach these kids manners, or courtesy? We had our hands FULL, and only ONE time did anyone ever open a door! Keeping in mind this is a high school, but I have visited other high schools, doing the same volunteer work, and even my own kids' high school, and had the door opened or held open for me. I would think that more prominent (or smarter, if there on scholarships) would be taught manners, and the boys CHIVALRY (No it's not dead)! I have found my experience very disappointing.
I am not Catholic and not rich, it worried me when I walked into Juan Diego. Personally I loved attending Juan Diego. I was never excluded for my religion. I also thought that I was walking into a snooty, rich private school. Fact is, yes you have the "elite", rich students, but you also have kids that are there on financial aid/ scholarship. You are going to find that at any high school, there is no perfect high school. Yes, maybe the football team gets treated with a little extra respect, but they prove themselves every time out on the field. They are a great bunch of guys. The teachers really care about you and are willing to help you when you need it. Juan Diego often gets a bad rap because we are a newer school and very successful. People try to say that we are all about sports and not about academics. We are all students first at JD. Our coaches seriously enforce the rules of no playing if unitil you get your grades up.
In conclusion, my experience at JD has been great. It has given me many opportunities and I am proud to say that I go to JD. No matter where you go, there will always be drama. ITS HIGH SCHOOL, the most dramatic period of life, there is no avoiding it. I think it is a fantastic school and worth considering.
While the previous commentator illuminates many of the social problems seemingly specific to Juan Diego Catholic High School, I want to suggest that such ignominious behavior is bound to occur in a Catholic School located on Mormon turf. The overarching Mormon presence within the greater Salt Lake area forces Catholics and other minority religions to consolidate their own identities as part of a struggle to merely maintain those identities. Therefore, the tensions within the schools population is merely a microcosm of the larger religious and social tensions that result from cleavages within the larger surrounding community. A more powerful critique lies in exposing the institution for what it is (or is not): a place to
educate students!. juan Diego claims to educate its students within two realms: the spiritual and the academic. Although its job, as a religious school, includes developing the spirituality of its students, the mission to religiously educate places its actually academic effectiveness under erasure! That is to say, the administrators (namely the owners and principals) do a very good job at concealing a crumbling academic atmosphere, a hive of bumbling inexperienced teachers, by peddling a spiritually wholesome atmosphere to unwary parents! As the recipient of the school's most impressive awards, I find myself quite well-qualified to speak to the failure of this school's education system. There is no reason why I should have had to learn to write essays in college. If this school was doing its job, every student would graduate with at least some writing experience! I literally wrote one graded essay in my entire education career at Juan Diego. I found myself at an extreme disadvantage when I went to college because I had to learn how to write while all of my peers had significant writing experience in high school. The humiliation that accompanied the many C papers I wrote clearly reflects the academic humiliation Juan Diego would face if its academic programs are juxtaposed with the academics of other schools that seek to prepare students to college.
I went to Juan Diego for all four years of high school, and I can't even begin to tell you how miserable it was. Not only is there virtually no diversity (religious or ethnic), any student who is not Catholic is often excluded. I am saying this AS a Catholic student, and not as a member of any minority. Also, if your student does not play a varsity sport, he will severely struggle to make friends and will often be ignored, even if he has no trouble fitting in with teenagers outside of school. Although there is little physical bullying, there is prevalent verbal abuse aimed toward students who have trouble fitting in. I often see the foreign exchange students huddling in groups nervously because no one includes them, even though most of them are incredible students and the kindest at the school, and several have come to me literally crying at how cruel the American students are. The "unified student body" that the Colosimos rave about is virtually nonexistent, unless of course you are a star athlete or a spoiled rich child. I only know a handful of kind, intelligent, nonjudgmental and well-adjusted students at Juan Diego--and I am stunned that they made it through their four years at JD with their incredible personalities intact.
For my first three years, although I was miserable socially at school, I had excellent teachers. Several had doctorates and all were very educated, inspiring, and engaging. However, last year over half of the teachers resigned in a very hushed decrease in pay, and many of them are now teaching at public high schools and middle schools because they are getting higher salaries. Aside from a couple of excellent teachers I had my last year, the new replacements were all jokes...all were very young and had been thrown into teaching (or lack thereof) the most advanced courses in the school with absolutely no credentials.
Finally, the school is a rip-off financially. The tuition is insane and most students pay less for college. And the tuition doesn't even begin to cover it--expect to spend hundreds of dollars on poor-quality uniforms each year, and several thousand dollars to pay for textbooks and enrollment in any concurrent or advanced placement class...if JD offers it. Also, never expect any funding for clubs or art departments--the lab fees for all of the art classes are extremely high because they don't get any funding, the drama department didn't get a penny for their last production and was virtually begging for money from parents, and none of the clubs/organizations I was a part of received a penny from the school to cover field trips or fees. Oh, but if you're on the football team, expect to stay in 5 star hotels while you travel for games, all expenses covered. And expect the administration to cancel school and buy out TRAX for your semi-final and final games.
In conclusion, unless your student is a white, Catholic, rich, college-bound athlete, this is NOT the school for you. It was the worst four years of my life. Don't even waste your money on this joke of a school.

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Global Studies at St. Lawrence University. My research and teaching interests focused on identity, performance, Chicano Studies, and Critical Race Studies. I participated along with Dr. David Henderson in the organization of the Second International Conference on Norteña Mexican Music with the Universidad de Guanajuato that took place in St. Lawrence University on September 10th-12th, 2015.The courses that I normally teach are: GS 201: Race, Culture and Identity, cross listed with Caribbean and Latin American Studies and Native American Studies. GS 250: La Frontera: Cultural Identities in the U.S./Mexico Border, cross listed with Caribbean and Latin American Studies and Native American Studies, GS 302: Theories of Cultural Studies; GS 290: Qualitative Methods; GS 255 Popular Culture; GS 247: Clinic on the effects of Globalization on Human Rights; and in the summers, I teach the course "Cultural Ecology and the Ejido System in Yucatan." I am Chinese-Mexican. One of the gratifications of being a faculty member at St. Lawrence University is to have enjoyed the institutional support to link my teaching, scholarship and service in a holistic manner. I have taken students to the US/Mexico border on regular basis as part of the course: La Frontera: Cultural Identities in the US Mexico Border. The summer course "Cultural Ecology and The Ejido System in Yucatan" was developed with a Mellon Grant. The students and me travel to Mayan communities and are able to see some of the best archeological sites and beaches of Mexico. We work together with Faculty from the Universidad Autonoma Chapingo, in the Centro Regional de la Peninsula de Yucatan. I enjoy working with students to find out their own research interest and passions, particularly the courses that involve exposing students to methodological and moral issues involved in research such as the local and the global, text and context, processual analysis and multiperspectivity. I have been quite interested in integrating students' learning with issues of social justice. I enjoyed the experience and opportunity to be the Director of the St. Lawrence University Spain Program during the academic year 2008-2009 and 2014-2015. I was the coordinator of the Caribbean and Latin American Program from the Spring 2010 to Fall 2013.

This Saturday our glorious nation celebrates Armed Forces Day, a day set aside to honor the five U.S. military branches.
This Saturday our glorious nation celebrates Armed Forces Day, a day set aside to honor the five U.S. military branches.
It was first observed May 20, 1950. In 1962 Navy veteran and President John F. Kennedy led the way in establishing Armed Forces Day as an official holiday.
Unlike other Armed Forces Days, this one will not be celebrated with military air shows, receptions, open houses, color guards and parades due to budget cuts (sequestration), for the Pentagon has frozen all such activities.
Although the magnitude is not as devastating as those being affected by the poor or cancer patients, the budget cuts have impacted a group of area patriots.
Gladstone resident David Page, for the second year in a row, leads a team of local volunteers in a two-day "Salute to Our Heroes" event.
While their dream has been shattered, it has not been swept away for Armed Forces Day will be celebrated in Kansas City even without the armed forces.
Friday morning, beginning at 8 a.m. the names of some 7,000-plus who have died in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2011 will be read, followed by a 21-gun salute. In the evening, veterans and their families will be afforded a free tour of the World War One Museum.
At 11 a.m. Saturday, a parade will commence at Pershing Road and 26th Street in Kansas City. Afterward, in nearby Washington Square Park, a military resources exposition will be available to the military and their families. Live, free entertainment will be provided all day long, leading up to a 7 p.m. free patriotic concert, which I have the honor of producing and emceeing.
More than 160 musicians, singers, and performers have given of their time including the 50-piece American Legion Band of Greater Kansas City, The Young Jazz Masters, The Men of Note, The KC Bettys, Jason Pritchett, Shrine Bag Pipers and Command Performance, and DJ La Sha.
There will be a moving tribute to the fallen assisted by area families who lost a loved one in the military, the Gladstone, VFW Post 10906 and The Men of Note.
So bring your chairs or blankets, and come help us celebrate those who actively stand on guard, veterans who stood on guard and those who died on guard for our country.
I give you President John Adams' toast: Independence forever.

just a few general questions
Hey everybody!
So I put a piece of driftwood in my tank the other day, but not before soaking it for a while first in hot water, I put it in my tank, and it is still slightly changing the color of my water, I would imagine that after a few water changes the color will go back to normal, but my main concern is that I dont want it to harm my fish- thoughts? comments?
question number two-
I recently went to the aquarium center near my house with a water sample, just to make sure that my numbers matched theirs (after all, they are professionals lol) they matched up to mine just right, but when speaking to the guy and telling him that my tank was in cycle (fish in, 5 barbs) he said that judging by the levels of the ammonia,nitrate,nitrites, that itd be best for me to avoid water changes for about 3-7 days, depending on test levels, because by changing the water, im slowing down the cycle. Now my question is from what ive learned the bacteria forming all form on the substrate, plants etc...right? so what would the water change have to do with the cycle, maybe im wrong but i thought that the water changes were good because they lowered the ammonia levels and improved over all health of the fish...im pretty confused. Once again, comments, suggestions etc are always welcome and helpful. Thanks--
Joe :-)
p.s. my tank has been cycling for about 12 days now, and other than the driftwood, the only other thing possibly affecting any of the levels is the one real plant I have in the tank.
After a few water changes the tannins from the wood will lesson, it will not harm your fish. As for the LFS advice? I do not agree. Water changes are needed to keep your fish comfortable and to reduce any stress on them. Your cycle will not be slowed. The bacteria, as you have already stated, do not live in the water column.
PS. Live plants do not hinder your water parameters. If anything they do nothing but help.
Thank you for the advice! now one more question as well, just because I want to be sure. How can I be sure that the cycle in my tank is complete, ive read the sticky note about it , but Id feel more confident with some first hand input
You will have to test your water (preferably with a liquid test kit, I use API) and first you'll see an amonia reading, followed by a nitrite spike, after that a nitrate reading. Once you have a reading for nitrates this indicates that your tank is cycled. Do you have a test kit on hand? I find it a valuable resource.
yes, I use the API kits as well, ive been keeping track of the levels of everything since day one, the ammonia levels as of yesterday were starting to drop off, but I dont think the nitrite has spiked yet
You've got the right test kit, which is a good thing. You should be seeing nitrites shortly. What size tank is this? If it was a 100 gl with only 5 fish in it, it could take awhile for the cycle to complete itself.
Its a 20 high, kinda figured itd be a good sized first tank, and once im more knowlegeable about the hobby ill move up to a bigger tank
What type of barbs? You may find that you'll have to upgrade sooner than you think! But don't worry, upgrading to a larger thank is always fun. :-)
right now I have two golden barbs and 3 cherry barbs, and believe me...Im already thinking about ideas for a bigger tank haha

Coastal and Tropical South
August, 2012
Regional Report
Plant Beans in the Tropics
The Leo Kottke tune called Bean Time plays on a loop in my head this month. Each week in August there's a sdifferent kind of bean to plant. Hoist the trellis or bean pole structures to plant pole lima beans such as Carolina Sieva and Florida Speckled first. Follow them with Henderson lima beans, pole snap beans like Dade, and finally bush green beans including Contender and Derby. It is time for Southern peas, too, like Purple Hull and Lady Peas.
Plant Now For Fall Harvest on the Coasts
This month is the time to catch up on spring garden favorites and to begin the seasonal transition to fall vegetables. Make room for summer squash and bush cucumbers from seed, whole Irish seed potatoes and the first seeding of mustard and turnip greens. If you have never grown beets, now is the time to be surprised how good they taste when you cook them fresh. Lime a spot in the garden now to plant spinach next month.
Keep Your Hummingbirds Coming
Bring pots of fall flowers onto the deck and patio for a front row seat to the fall hummingbird migration. Plant more tubular flowers, preferably red, but any bright shade works just fine. Add to your hibiscus collection, all in the name of nurturing hummers. If someone gave you a hummingbird feeder this year, put it to good use by placing it in easy view. Hang the feeder well above the ground, close to a window where you can watch the action. Mixes vary, but the only necessary ingredients are water and sugar, no red dye needed or wanted. Refill the feeder every other day, and clean it weekly in hot soapy water, then rinse well and refill.
Refresh and Replant Flowers
While you are planting for hummingbirds, remember the butterflies and plant daisy shapes now. The periwinkles, zinnias, and impatiens you planted this spring may need rejuvenating now. Cut off the old flowers, and cut the stems back, too, if they are leafless or spotted. Water in new plants and rehabs with fertilizer, put on an inch of new mulch, and look for new flowers in three weeks.
Save Seeds
Generally, you leave seed pods on the plant until they are dry before harvesting them. In rainy summers, though, that can lead to moldy seeds. If rain is predicted at a critical time, use a twist tie to anchor little plastic bags around the heads. Remove the bags when the sun comes out to prevent overheating. Or cut the stems if the seeds pods are nearly brown and finish the process in the potting shed.

Junior Josh Wilkerson sunk a pair of free throws with 1.4 seconds remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime, but the Bulldogs scored just one point in the extra period as Cumberland fell, 55-52, to the University of the Cumberlands in men's basketball action here Saturday at the Dallas Floyd Recreation Center.
The Bulldogs (12-6, 4-5 Mid-South) were unable to overcome an abysmal 27.8 shooting percentage from the field, and overtime proved a microcosm of the contest as CU was unable to hit a shot during the final five minutes of play. The Cumberlands (12-7, 4-5) also failed to register a bucket, but four free throws proved to be the difference.
The game seemed to come to a conclusion at the end of regulation when, trailing by two, Wilkerson missed from three with time running out, but a late whistle sent the Memphis, Tenn., native to the line. Wilkerson hit two-of-three to force overtime.
In the second half, Cumberland made just 6-of-21 shots as UC erased a three-point halftime deficit. The Patriots took their first lead of the second half at the 13:55 mark. Cumberland would spend the remainder of the contest fighting from behind.
For the second straight game, Wilkerson sparked the offense in the early going of the first half, scoring seven of the Bulldogs first nine points as the squad jumped out to a 9-2 lead at the 14:45 mark. Those seven points marked the first of his career-high 20 in the game.
Wilkerson's hot hand cooled, however, as the Cumberlands clawed back into the game, taking the lead 17-13 with seven minutes remaining in the first half. Following a pair of free throws from redshirt senior Lamar Brinkley, freshman Marquel Hickerson knocked down a pair of treys separated by a Lester Gude layup during a 12-0 run from the Bulldogs, culminating in a 25-17 advantage with 3:54 to play.
The Patriots held Cumberland scoreless from that point until the halftime buzzer, closing the frame on a 5-0 run to cut the deficit to 25-22 heading into the locker room.
Hickerson led the Bulldogs with eight points in the half on 3-of-8 shooting, including hitting 2-of-3 from behind the arc. Wilkerson added seven going 3-for-7. Cumberland led at the break despite a poor shooting performance, connecting on just 32 percent (9-for-28) in the first 20 minutes. The Cumberlands shot 30 percent (6-for-20) from the field.
Senior Lamar Brinkley added nine points and nine rebounds in the game, and Lester Gude added five points and eight boards. Hickerson did not score a point in the second half, ending with eight.
Cumberland returns to action Thursday against St. Catharine College for the first of a pair of road contests. The Patriots defeated Cumberland 83-60 Jan. 2, in the two squads' first matchup this season. Tip-off for the Mid-South Conference outing is set for 7 p.m.

Introduction to Chile
Chile, or Republic of Chile, a country in South America. It occupies a long, narrow strip along the Pacific coast, stretching from north of the Tropic of Capricorn to Cape Horn at the southern tip of the continent. Bordering nations, from north to south, are Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. Chile is 2,600 miles (4,200 km) long but its width averages only about 110 miles (180 km) and seldom exceeds 200 miles (320 km). Its area totals 292,135 square miles (756,626 km2).
Physical GeographyChile is a country on the west coast of South America.
Chile divides into northern, central, and southern regions, with the great Andes mountain system common to all three.
Northern Chile consists largely of the desolate Atacama Desert, which stretches roughly 600 miles (1,000 km) southward from the Peru border and eastward from the Pacific coast into the foothills of the Andes. Lofty Andean peaks, some of which are volcanic, rise abruptly along the edge of the desert. Snowcapped Ojos del Salado, Chile's highest peak, reaches 22,572 feet (6,880 m) above sea level on the Argentina boundary.
Central Chile extends about 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from the southern edge of the Atacama Desert to the Corcovado Gulf. Much of the region is occupied by the Andes and the Cordillera de la Costa, a coastal mountain range. Between them is the Central Valley of Chile—the country's principal agricultural region and the home of most of its people. The valley lies some 300 to 2,300 feet (90 to 700 m) above sea level and is crossed by several spurs of the Andes. Central Chile usually suffers most during the country's frequent earthquakes.
Southern Chile is a rugged region with many islands and a fjorded coast where the Andes drop into the sea. The mountains here are lower than those in central or northern Chile. Although only a few peaks exceed elevations of 11,000 feet (3,350 m), there are extensive glaciers. Tierra del Fuego, an island group south of the Strait of Magellan, in the far south, is shared by Chile and Argentina.
With few exceptions, Chile's rivers begin in or near the Andes and drain westward into the Pacific. Many are used for irrigation, and some provide hydroelectric power. The longest, flowing 270 miles (435 km), is the Loa. It is the only river that crosses the Atacama Desert. Other rivers include the Bio-Bio, Maipo (Maipu), and Copiapo. North of the city of Puerto Montt lies a district of glacial mountain lakes known for their outstanding natural beauty.
Climate. Because of great differences in latitude and altitude, Chile has a variety of climates. Throughout the mountainous areas, temperatures steadily decrease as altitude increases, and at high elevations the climate is always cold.
In the Atacama Desert, temperatures are mild, mainly because of the influence of the cold Peru (Humboldt) Current offshore. It is one of the most arid deserts on earth; in places, no rainfall has ever been recorded.
Much of central Chile has a climate like that of southern California: dry, relatively hot summers and cool, rainy winters. In Santiago, for example, average temperatures are 69° F. (21° C.) in January and 46° F. (8° C.) in July. Rainfall averages 14 inches (360 mm) annually. Temperatures in the Central Valley are usually Chile's highest, occasionally reaching 100° F. (38° C.).
In southern Chile the climate is generally cool and rainy throughout the year, resembling that of the North American Pacific coast from Oregon to the Alaska Panhandle. Annual precipitation in certain highland areas of the south is extremely heavy, sometimes exceeding 200 inches (5,080 mm) a year. In the Patagonia section of Chile, which adjoins the eastern half of the Strait of Magellan, yearly rainfall is usually less than 20 inches (508 mm).
Chile's vegetation is as varied as its climates. The northern coastal desert is virtually barren. In the Central Valley are low evergreen bushes, scrubby trees, and cacti. Much of southern Chile and parts of mountain ranges in other regions are blanketed with forests of conifers, laurels, and other middle-latitude trees. Grasses predominate in Patagonia and on some mountain slopes.
Mountain lions (also called cougars and pumas), guanacos, vicunas, deer, and wolves are among Chile's mammals. There are many kinds of birds, including rheas, condors, pelicans, gulls, and penguins.
Most of Chile's gross domestic product (GDP) is accounted for by service industries and manufacturing. However, mining has a very significant role in the economy of Chile than in the economies of most other countries. Copper is its most valuable resource and export. Many other industries of Chile are dependent on the country's mineral production.Until well into the 20th century, Chile depended largely on farming and mining. Now it has one of the more advanced economies in Latin America, primarily because of the growth in manufacturing since the early 20th century. The economy has long been troubled, however, by rapid inflation, a huge foreign debt, dependence on international credit, and social and political unrest.
During 1970-73, when Chile had a Marxist government, many of the nation's industrial, banking, mining, farming, and other enterprises were nationalized. Upon taking control in 1973, a military government announced a policy of denationalization. The government retained control of some activities, such as oil production and refining, and exercised regulatory powers. The dramatic changes in economic policies in the the late 20th century caused many economic problems, including widespread unemployment and a rapid rise in the rate of inflation. The economy recovered during the late 20th century.
Chile's middle class, most of which lives in urban areas, especially Santiago, is small but growing. Great differences in income exist between the professional and skilled urban workers and rural inhabitants, many of whom live at a subsistence level.
Chile's basic currency unit is the Chilean peso.
Service industries make up almost half of Chile's GDP and employ more than half of the country's workers. Businesses that engage in trade, including stores and restaurants employ many service workers. Government agencies, banks, health care facilities, and social service organizations also employ many Chileans. Other sources of employment for service workers in Chile are in industries such as transportation and communication and in such professions as teaching and law.
The manufacturing industries of Chile constitute approximately one-sixth of the country's GDP and provide jobs for about one-seventh of the nation's workers. The food-processing and textile industries are the oldest, largest, and most highly developed. Also important are iron and steel, cement, copper, pulp and paper, chemicals, motor vehicles and parts, and electric appliances. Santiago and its many suburbs form the principal industrial area. Other sizable manufacturing centers include Concepcion, with the nearby steel city of Huachipato; Valparaiso; and Valdivia.. Consumer products such as beverages, clothing, processed foods, textiles, and wood products are also produced by most Chilean factories.
About 25 per cent of Chile's land is used for growing crops or raising livestock. The cultivated land consists of only 3 per cent; hence Chile is unable to meet the food needs of its people entirely. Obsolete farming methods have also constricted Chile's agricultural harvest. Agriculture employs about 13 per cent of the workers and makes up about a third of the nation's GDP. Fruit, which makes up most of Chile's agricultural exports, is an especially important crop and wheat is also a valuable crop.
Most of the land under cultivation lies in central Chile, particularly in the fertile, highly irrigated Central Valley. Crops produced include fruits, wheat, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, sugar beets, corn, rice, barley, oats, and onions. Grapes, used mainly for making wine, are grown in vineyards between Santiago and Concepcion. Other fruits grown are apples, citrus fruits and peaches. Cattle are raised in the central region, as well as chickens and hogs. Sheep production is a major economic activity of the southern provinces.
Most of Chile's farmland was under the control of a few wealthy landowners until the mid 20th century. However, a rural reform movement in the late 20th century led to the division of large estates and today, most land is controlled by small farmers or large corporations. Less than 25 acres (10 hectares) of land is covered by most of Chile's farms. Poverty prevents small farmers from using modern, technological equipment to work their land. Nevertheless, corporate farm production is on the rise. Fruits and vegetables grown by many corporate farms are exported to Europe and North America during their winters.
Chile is rich in minerals. Metals, especially copper, make up a large percentage of the nation's exports. In the northern and central parts of the country, mainly in the Andes and their foothills, lie some of the world's most extensive copper ore deposits. Chile possesses about one third of the world's known copper reserves and is ranked as the world's leading copper-producing country. One of the largest open-pit copper mines in the world is Chuquicamata in the Atacama Desert., Southeast of Santiago is situated El Teniente, the world's largest underground copper mine. Other metals and ores mined include iron ore, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, silver, and gold. Chile is also a producer of natural gas, petroleum, iodine and lithium. It also leads in the production of molybdenum.
Nitrate mining was a major industry in Chile until about 1930, when synthetic nitrates captured much of the market. Some nitrate deposits are still worked. Chile's production of mineral fuels provides a large share of its domestic requirements. Almost all of the petroleum and natural gas come from Tierra del Fuego and nearby offshore sites. Coal is mined in the central part of the country, near Concepcion; and in the south, near Punta Arenas.
Lumbering and the forest-products industry contribute significantly to Chile's economy. Much of the woodland, however, remains unused, mostly because of its inaccessibility to commercial loggers. Insignis pine, or Monterey pine, accounts for a large part of all timber production. Forest products include lumber, pulp and paper, and veneers.
Chile has one of the world's largest fishing industries which yield an annual catch of 5 million tons (4.5 million metric tons) of fish and shellfish. Many kinds of fish and shellfish abound off the north coast and provide the basis for Chile's fishing industry, which is one of the largest in Latin America. Pacific mackerel makes up most of the catch, as well as anchovettas, jack mackerel and sardines. Exports from the fishing industry include fish oil and fish meal, and also fresh fish such as salmon and bass which are raised on fish farms in the southern part of the country. They export mainly to Europe, Japan and North America.
Virtually all of Chile's surface transportation facilities are in the central and northern provinces. Overland routes in the south are virtually nonexistent, primarily because of the scant population and difficult terrain. The Pan American Highway runs southward from Peru to central Chile, where it turns eastward to cross the Andes into Argentina. Most of the other roads are unpaved. Railways link the larger cities from Iquique in the north to Puerto Montt in the south.
Valparaiso is the chief seaport; others are Antofagasta, Coquimbo, Talcahuano, Puerto Montt, and Punta Arenas. There is much coastal shipping. None of the rivers is navigable for more than a short distance.
Airplanes are a common means of travel within Chile. The major airlines, state-owned Linea Aerea Nacional de Chile (LAN), provides international as well as domestic service. Santiago's airport, served by a number of foreign airlines, is the largest and busiest in the nation.
The People
The largest racial group is composed of mestizos, persons with a mixture of European (mainly Spanish) and Indian ancestry. The rest of the people are considered to be white (20 per cent) or Indian (5 per cent). Besides Spanish, there are Irish, French, British, and German groups in the population. The Indians live primarily in the southern part of the country.
In 1992 Chile had a population of 13,348,401. The general population trend is a movement toward the cities, where roughly four-fifths of the people live.
Spanish is the official language. Most of the people are Roman Catholics.
Primary schooling is free and compulsory from age 6 to 14, but it is not always available in rural areas. Students may go on to secondary schools, which offer academic and vocational programs. About 93 per cent of the population is literate.
Higher education is available at national and private universities. The University of Chile, under control of the national government, is the oldest and largest; it is located in Santiago.
The excellent climate of the central zone makes outdoor sports popular there. Tennis, skiing, fishing, swimming, horseback riding, and golf are among the most common. Soccer is the favorite spectator sport.
Independence Day is celebrated on September 18. Many of the religious holidays observed by Chileans are celebrated with lively fiestas (festivals).
Under the constitution of 1980, as amended in 1989 and 1994, the president—who is both chief of state and head of government—is elected to a single six-year term. The legislature has two houses, the senate and the chamber of deputies. The senate consists of 38 elected members, 8 appointed members, and all former presidents. The chamber of deputies has 120 elected members. Senators serve eight-year terms; deputies, four-year terms. The judiciary is headed by the Supreme Court. Appellate and lower courts are distributed throughout the country.
For administrative purposes the country is divided into 15 regions, including the Metropolitan Region, which contains the capital, Santiago. Each region is presided over by an appointed governor. Voting is mandatory for all adult citizens.

"Too Many Cooks:" an analysis
If you have access to the internet, and I think it's safe to assume you do, chances are you're already familiar with "Too Many Cooks," Caspar Kelly's surreal, head-spinning take on the tropes of television. This 11-minute short, produced for Adult Swim, goes so far beyond simple labels like "parody" and "satire" that it warrants some special consideration. Once you've seen a form-shattering piece like this, you start to ask "Why aren't more things like this?" All the year's best movies — The Grand Budapest Hotel, Guardians of the Galaxy and Birdman, for starters — bend the shapes of their forms, but "Too Many Cooks" rips its form to shreds, then crams it into a Cuisinart. Hit the jump to begin your journey into madness.
Breaking Bad and the importance of plot
As Breaking Bad draws to its close, internet folk have deployed millions of pixels to dissect its meanings. All of which attention the show richly deserves. However, I haven't yet seen an article describing what the show has meant to me, and to writing for television, so I'm going to write it now.
The Venture Bros: "The Devil's Grip" part 2
The Monarch finally has his prey, Dr. Venture, where he wants him. After much deliberation over a long list of choices, he decides to use "the bell." Unfortunately, Rusty is, apparently, partly deaf due to years spent on his father's jet. Meant to be used as a marital aid, he instead becomes a cockblock.
The Venture Bros: "The Devil's Grip" part 1
"The Devil's Grip" has four major protagonists: Sgt Hatred, Col Gentleman, the Action Man, and The Monarch. Two of these characters are decidedly minor in the Venture universe, another is an arch turned guardian and the last is a straight-up villain, the villain of the series. Their stories are intertwined in this episode around the theme of "regret." Hatred regrets giving up his job as guardian, but is then moved to rescue Dr. Venture by his default-setting of "soldier." The Action Man regrets not living a more square life and is moved to action by the presence of Hank in his life, Col Gentleman just plain regrets, and The Monarch starts at a place of ultimate power (for him) and slowly slides toward regret. Regret, in this episode, leads to nostalgia, a form of homesickness, and leads in all cases to comings home. "The Return Home," in all cases, is not presented as a retreat but as a gesture of healing, a symptom of wisdom, a reassessment of each characters' place in the universe.
The Venture Bros: "Bot Seeks Bot" part 2
Brock's mission is now "to save Ghost Robot," which seems big of him, considering that he doesn't seem that attached to Ghost Robot, considering that no one seems that attached to Ghost Robot, really. Brock's passion here is for his work, his job, the job for which he has forsaken his family, the Venture clan, for SPHINX, which has been destroyed by his foster father figure, Hunter Gathers. Brock's job is his family, and it's the only thing he's good at. He can't win at love, he's backed away from being a father, he's distant with his work brothers (he even steals one's wife), but his job is everything to him, an all-or-nothing proposition, even when "the job" is nothing more than invading a nightclub to rescue a robot from an awkward date.
The Venture Bros: "Bot seeks Bot" part 1
The Clue Clown wields his question mark for good reason. We were only just introduced to his existence, and now he's gone, leaving nothing but questions. Who was he? What did he stand for? What were his hopes and dreams? Those might be questions too silly to ask of a farcical one-joke supervillain, but the funeral of the Clue Clown is treated with a somberness rare for a Venture Bros death. We barely knew the Clue Clown, the script seems to say, but then, how well do we really know anyone? The death of the Clue Clown sends a whole tributary of minor Venture characters into a whirling tailspin of reflection, sober and otherwise. And, like all funerals, it provokes death's opposite: lust. What better protest against death could there be than the seeking of carnal fulfillment? In this case, having the lovers seeking their carnalities in bodies of metal.
The Venture Bros "Momma's Boys" part 2
While Hank, Dermott, Gary and HELPeR act crazy to get themselves committed (what could possibly go wrong?) Rusty and Hatred go searching for By-Golly Gulch, using a hover-tank and a smartphone. A lot of the characters in The Venture Bros are in desperate search of a dream, but Rusty wants to find Teddy with a GPS. And, since By-Golly Gulch is a nonexistent fairyland, he is doomed. The important thing, though, is that Rusty, who's always found the whole alter-ego thing to be a stone drag, a blight on his life, is so in need of an alter ego that he's created one – in Teddy, who, for the purposes of Rusty's narrative, doesn't exist. Rusty is going to rescue Teddy, who he sees as a version of himself, from the clutches of evil. This, the narrative implies, is what happens when a man doesn't do the normal thing of dressing up in a costume and affecting a colorful persona: one sees people where there are none, no matter how obvious it is that they are not there.

The Venture Bros: "Momma's Boys" part 1
When reasonable people gather to discuss Batman, at some point someone clears their throat and says "Well you know, according to some schools of thought, Bruce Wayne died the night his parents died; from that moment on he was Batman, and 'Bruce Wayne' became the mask." This is certainly a compelling argument with a subversive impact, but it only works if we proceed with the supposition that Bruce Wayne is completely insane. A sane man does not assume the personality of a night-time crimefighting vigilante and relegate his "getting by" personality to that of a billionaire businessman.
And, of course, there are people who would argue that, yes, Bruce Wayne is insane, that The Bat has taken over and subsumed his personality like Norman Bates's mother. After all, Batman has always been a comic about insanity, far more than any other superhero title. The only thing that all Batman's villains have in common is that they are stark raving mad. As a matter of fact, George Clooney once pitched a Batman movie to Warner Bros where it would be revealed at the end that, a la Sucker Punch, it is Bruce Wayne who has lived in Arkham Asylum all these years, fighting his never-ending war on giggling psychopaths from the confines of a padded cell.
All of which brings us to tonight's Venture Bros episode, "Momma's Boys."
Venture Bros: "O.S. I Love You" part 2
What does Dean Venture, protagonist of this episode's b-story, want? He's chafing under the mantle of being a Venture Brother and all that entails (tagging along on life-threatening adventures, being cloned repeatedly, having a negligent father and a child-molesting guardian, etc) and, what's more, he's a teen-aged boy going through all the teen-aged-boy things teen-aged boys go through: rebellion against his parents, discovering his own identity, girl problems. Hank, on the other hand, seems to have regressed. His Destiny strength-suit gives him power, but it's also, as Rusty points out, just another dress-up costume like the Batman getup he had when he was 10. (Note: I've had a 10-year-old son, who wouldn't dream of dressing as Batman. For him it was Gordon Freeman or nothing. He even bought a crowbar. He named it "Whammy.")
The Venture Bros: "Spanakopita!"
Wikipedia informs us: "On October 20, 1968, Jackie Kennedy married Aristotle Socrates Onassis, a wealthy Greek shipping magnate, who was able to provide the privacy and security she sought for herself and her children. The wedding took place on Skorpios, Onassis's private island in the Ionian Sea, in Greece." We now know that Jonas Venture, Sr and the rest of the original Team Venture were at the wedding. Jonas had spent the afternoon diving for treasure and then sped off with the boys to get drunk and experience some high society. In other words, "fortune and glory." Of course, the seeking of fortune and glory necessitates the abandonment of Jonas's son Rusty, the protagonist of our current narrative. Rusty, playing at being Theseus, "slays the Minotaur" (HELPeR wearing steer horns), and Jonas chides him for not learning "the classics." The story of Theseus is, of course, about as classic as tales go, indicating that Jonas hasn't been paying attention to Rusty on a couple of different levels.

Use of dried blood for measurement of trans fatty acids
1 Department of Cardiac Biochemistry, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Ansari Nagar, New Delhi-110029, India
2 Center for Chronic Disease Control, Safdarjung Development Area, New Delhi-110016, India
3 Public Health Foundation of India, New Delhi-110016, India
Nutrition Journal 2009, 8:35 doi:10.1186/1475-2891-8-35Published: 24 July 2009
Fatty acid measurements especially trans fatty acid has gained interest in recent times. Among the various available biomarkers, adipose tissue is considered to be the best for the long term dietary intake but the invasive nature of tissue aspiration reduces its utility. Phlebotomy is a much less invasive method of sample collection when a large number of participants are involved in the study and therefore is an alternative, most suitable for large population based studies. In the present study fatty acid (with special emphasis on trans fatty acid) extraction from blood spotted and dried on filter paper was carried out to simplify the sample collection procedure and transportation.
Blood samples were collected from 19 healthy volunteers. The blood was spotted (30 spots of 10 μl each) on filter paper, dried at room temperature and stored at 4°C in zip-lock poly bags. For comparison whole blood stored at -70°C was simultaneously analyzed.
A good agreement was seen between trans fatty acid values obtained in dried blood and whole blood as evident from the pearson correlation coefficients ('r' for monounsaturated (trans) 0.70 and for polyunsaturated (trans) 0.692 respectively). The intraclass correlation coefficient for monounsaturated trans was 0.805 and for polyunsarurated trans was 0.776.
Dried blood spots can be used for trans fatty acid analysis.

Talent Intelligence Transforms Corporate StrategySeptember 13, 2011 | Marijana Mrkalj 1
More organizations are embracing the power of Talent Intelligence, making it an integral part of their corporate strategy, and increasingly relying on social media networks and mobile technologies to acquire and retain the talent they need to remain competitive.
These are the forces shaping the future of Talent Management, according to Michael Gregoire, Chairman and CEO of Taleo Corporation(NASDAQ: TLEO), the SaaS-based Talent Management solutions company. Gregoire made the remarks in his keynote speech this morning before a record-setting audience of 1600 at Taleo World, where human resources and Talent Management executives will explore how best to use Talent Intelligence to know their people and grow their business.
"Talent Management strategies are becoming part of the very marrow of corporate strategic plans, a sign that Talent Intelligence is playing an ever-larger role in business growth," said Gregoire. "As forces like social networking and mobile technologies dictate how companies connect with talent, no business can afford to let these trends escape its grasp. That's why Taleo continues to evolve our vision for Talent Intelligence — aggressively, and always with an eye on what's next."
Gregoire pointed to industry data that reveal how these trends are already underway:
- In PWC's 2011 CEO Survey, leading CEOs identified talent management as a major challenge and a key driver of business performance.i
- More companies are using social media to recruit top talent and hire from within. It helped CDW, a $7.6 billion technology solutions provider, cut its overall talent management costs by 48 percent.ii
- Mobile workers are growing so common that there will be 1.2 billion by 2013; by then, IDC expects three out of four U.S. workers will be mobile.iii Read More
