Ever wanted to ask a sports personality a question? Now's your chance. They will answer readers' questions in The Denver Post's "Fan Mail" feature.
In this installment, Colorado State football coach Steve Fairchild answers fans' questions about the team's non-conference schedule, the BCS and the state of the Rams during spring football.
Keep an eye out for the next installment, when Olympic figure skater Rachael Flatt answers questions. Suggest a subject and send Q's in an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
I am very pleased in the direction that CSU football seems to be going in many aspects except scheduling. What is your philosophy with out-of-conference scheduling? That's a major area where I think CSU needs to be more aggressive and innovative.
- Jon, Los Angeles
Steve Fairchild: Jon, I hear what you and fans like you are saying about our schedules over the next couple years. It's important to understand that scheduling is complicated. It's done years in advance and is contingent on a number of factors, such as guarantees, home-and-home contracts, two-for-ones, future dates that work for both schools, etc.
Our athletic director, Paul Kowalczyk, has done a great job at managing these factors and we continue to work on scheduling what you see as more attractive opponents. We have pursued and will continue to pursue BCS-conference opponents. Minnesota is one of those schools we've secured. I will tell you that quality home-attendance numbers help boost our ability to bring in those big-name schools. The CU contract, giving us a game with the Buffs through 2020, and in Denver through 2019, is a great thing for both universities and the entire state of Colorado.
It's great to see CSU reaching out to its fans in some "21st Century" styles. Between your blog, all of the coaches Twittering, and the Reaching The Peak series on The Mountain Network, I'm loving the CSU coverage. Ever wanted to go behind the scenes to ask a question? Now's your chance. Players, coaches and the gambit of sports figures will answer readers' questions in The Denver Post's "Fan Mail" feature.
Sports Fan Mail

Ever wanted to go behind the scenes to ask a question? Now's your chance. Players, coaches and the gambit of sports figures will answer readers' questions in The Denver Post's "Fan Mail" feature.
SF: I have received positive feedback, but maybe it's because I only talk to family and friends. The only negative feedback I heard was when I caught flak from Tony Kornheiser on that PTI ("Pardon The Interruption") show on ESPN after I Tweeted about the BCS. But I think Michael Wilbon liked what I said.
In reading your CoachFair blog, you have frequently voiced your feelings about the unfairness of the BCS. In your opinion, what more does the
Mountain West Conference need to do to prove that it truly belongs?
- Scott, Fort Collins
SF: The MWC has already proven it belongs. Two years ago, Utah was the best team in the country at the end of the year. They dominated an Alabama team that Florida barely beat, and after Utah beat the Crimson Tide, the Utes were the only undefeated team in the country. TCU can year-in and year-out play with anyone in the country. They beat Clemson and Virginia on the road last year. BYU and Air Force are premier football programs. CSU in the 90s and early 2000s was a Top-20 program. Even Wyoming went to Knoxville the season before last and beat Tennessee.
The BCS is a joke and very bad for college athletics. Mike Krzyzewski said it best at the Final Four earlier this month, that a team like Butler in college football would never have a chance to reach that stage. And when the BCS talks about fairness in revenue sharing, don't believe it; that's a lie.
What's the number one thing that has to improve at Colorado State to get the Rams back on the same level as TCU, Utah and BYU at the top of the
Mountain West?
- Ben, Fort Collins
SF: We need to resource, facilitate and staff our football program comparable to our goals. If we want to compete for the MWC championship, then we need to do what TCU, Utah and BYU are doing in terms of facilities, summer school, resources and staffing.
If we want to compete for a BCS bid, we need to look at those schools and what they are doing in all those areas. We have made great strides the last two years.
Coach Fairchild, CSU has had some tremendous upgrades to our facilities in the last 5-7 years, to include most recently the indoor practice
facility. What is the next facility upgrade scheduled and what would you most like to see upgraded?
- Keith, Woodland Park
SF: I don't know what is next. Much is needed. Hughes Stadium can be improved in a lot of ways. Our student-athletes need a dining facility. A room to better recognize members of our CSU Hall of Fame is a must. The square footage of our football office and meeting area is last in the Mountain West Conference, and our training room can be helped, too. We really need to look at this. You are correct that we have made improvements. Within the last few years, we've added an outstanding press box, indoor practice facility, weight room and academic center, but these have only kept pace with the good programs out there. There is a lot left to do, and we need to keep moving forward to have any chance to be competitive.
The past two years, we've started a fifth-year senior at quarterback and that seemed to set us back each spring looking for a new inexperienced
quarterback. Most of Ram Nation would like to see one of the freshmen either Nico Raneri or Pete Thomas take over the reigns at quarterback this year. How
are these players looking so far and what are the chances of them being the main signal caller this fall?
- Isaac, Fort Collins
Steve Fairchild: We will always play the quarterback who gives the team the best chance to win. Our young quarterbacks have progressed this spring. It would be ideal to have a situation like Moses Moreno (1993-97) or Matt Newton (1996-2000). These guys spent time in our system before they played. Both went on to be the conference Offensive Player of the Year.
During your career, you have played for and coached with numerous head coaches. Now that you are into your third year as a head coach, which of
those head coaches do you most identify with in your current role and which of them influenced you the most to be the coach you are today?
- John, Fort Collins
SF: Sonny Lubick, without a doubt. I've played for and coached with a lot of great coaches. In the NFL, guys like Gregg Williams, Mike Martz, Dick Jauron and Kevin Gilbride were all tremendously influential. I have learned from everyone along the way and have been fortunate throughout my career to work with such talented people. But there is no one quite like Coach Lubick. He is a great leader and communicator, extremely knowledgeable, humble and caring.
I have read many articles where you have publicly stated the team is not very good and needs a lot of work, especially with the quarterbacks.
Is this an attempt to keep the players working hard and do you think that a little more positive public reinforcement would help or hurt the
- Brock, Fort Collins
SF: Brock, I always try to tell the truth.
Coach, you brought in a fantastic class this year. We know (QB Pete) Thomas and (safety Mike) Orakpo are looking at early playing time. What
are the chances of seeing some of the other true freshmen play this fall?
- Chris, Windsor
SF: Any true freshman that can help our team win will play. We'll find out once we get those guys practicing on our campus in August. We had three last season, C.J. James, a defensive end, Pete Kontodiakos, our punter, and Lou Greenwood, a running back.
How do you think CSU fans can create more of a home-field advantage for the Rams and a harder time on their opponents? The CSU student section
shows up with great force, but the rest of the stadium is quiet and half the seats are occupied. I want Hughes Stadium to be one of the loudest stadiums
in college football. How do we get there?
- Lance, Littleton
SF: The student section has been great. I am so proud of them. They help our team more than they'll ever know. That's one of the reasons why when I came back as head coach I asked our team to begin singing our Fight Song to the student section after every victory.
Lance, I'm with you. I wish we had 40,000-plus fans every Saturday. The 1994 CSU-Utah game at Hughes Stadium was the most electric setting I've ever been a part of, and I've coached in NFL playoff games. We've had some great crowds, like our Utah game last year; it just has to become consistent.
We need to have the Denver fans connect or reconnect with CSU and Fort Collins. There's a Denver initiative spearheaded by Brett Anderson that is trying to do just that, so I ask our alums and fans in the Metro Area to reach out and discover what opportunities are out there, and by all means, come to our games.
I know the noon starts aren't ideal, but that was out of our control. People drive 90 minutes from all over Los Angeles to watch a USC or UCLA game. If we do this right, we should be talking stadium expansion.
Other than the obvious point of winning more games, how would you attract more of the Denver-based CSU Alumni to come to Fort Collins for a
--Bryan, Arvada
As you stated, winning is paramount. I think Denver is key to our success, because more than 43,000 CSU alumni live in the Metro Area, and more than half of our state's high-school grads originate from that area. CSU and Fort Collins are a wonderful place to spend a Saturday in the fall. CSU didn't reach out to Denver in the past, but that's all changed. The university has been working hard to create and maintain a strong presence in Denver. We have a big group of staff down there who live and work in Denver, trying to build a stronger CSU network in the metro area. Athletics has a Denver-based staff member, Ken Winstead.
Believe me, we're investing a lot of resources. We're doing everything we can to win as a football program, and Denver is a critical part of any success we have. I know you're coming to our games, Bryan. We need more fans like you, especially in Denver.
Coach, what has been your most memorable/favorite victory as head coach so far?
-Ryan, Longmont
SF: Ryan, it has to be the New Mexico Bowl victory over Fresno State. It was so great to see that senior class get rewarded. Our team played with so much heart. Gartrell Johnson was a true warrior. No other player in bowl history had more combined rushing and receiving yards than Gartrell that day (375).
With the backfield loaded with options (Raymond Carter, Lou Greenwood, Leonard Mason, John Mosure, and Chris Nwoke, and this doesn't even
include in the incoming freshman) -- what do you have in mind to get them opportunities to utilize their game-changing abilities? Will we continue to see
some Wildcat formations, or getting guys like Greenwood and Mosure into the slot?
--Mike, Seattle
SF: We need to find a role for any play-maker we have on offense. We have some talented running backs and we need to get them the ball.
I notice your O-line is a little lighter than usual. Can this become a strength for this team, because they may have the foot speed to do
different things that someone at 320 pounds could not do? Or do you wish you had more girth up front with your highly touted stable of running
--Gunnar, Thornton
SF: Gunnar, our line last year was as good as any in college football. There were four draftable NFL players on that line. We will have to develop this year at that position, no question. There will not be the experience that we had the last two years. I do like our talent level and believe we will be a good offensive line before the end of this year, and through next season.
How do you handle the fickle nature of Colorado sports fans? Does it make it difficult to recruit versus programs with continual support during
winning and losing times?
--Jeff, Englewood
SF: Jeff, we just need to put a good product on the field.
Last year, it seemed like the team would start out strong and jump out to a big lead in the first half only to fade in the second. The offense
would fail to sustain drives and put points on the board, and the defense would wear down. What do you think the causes were, and how do you go about
correcting it?
- Adam, Littleton
SF: You are correct. We need to be more consistent, and put games away, like with our loss at Idaho. Or make a play late to win, what we didn't do when we lost 24-17 to Utah. We didn't do things like that last year. I saw us doing a lot more of that in that first year, 2008. We need to improve in those areas in 2010. That's why we create game situations in practice.
By the time we finish spring ball, we'll have practiced every conceivable situation we could see in a game. We're working hard on getting those issues straightened out.
First of all, great recruiting class. It seemed the defense was hit hard with injuries last year and really struggled down the stretch. Field
position did not help their cause. What will it take to improve the kicking game and the D this year and what players are standing out?
- Matt, Denver
SF: Well, Matt, if there's one reason to appreciate injuries, it was that injuries allowed several players on defense the opportunity to get solid experience last year. We had a lot of guys step in and play. We do need to kick and cover kickoffs better. Ben DeLine is having a good spring and as we become more athletic on defense, with better and better recruiting classes, we will cover all kicks much better.
One of the main problems for CSU since 2002 has been the third-down defense. I don't have a number but I'd bet that over that period CSU has
been one of the worst third-down defensive teams in the nation. What is the plan to improve the 3rd down defense to help the defense get off the
- Nate, Arlington, Virg.
SF: Nate, how are things in the nation's capital? After every game when I walk off the field, I want to know a few things on the stat sheet, and one is what we did on third down, both offensively and defensively. When we beat CU last year, we got pressure on the passer from our front four, and that was critical to that win. Pressuring the QB is an area we must improve. If we can do that, our third-down defense will be much better.
Coach Fairchild, I know we'll see some new faces on the defensive line and in the secondary this year. Could you comment on the defensive
lineman, corners and safeties, and how they've looked so far this spring?
- Tim, Lakewood
SF: Our defensive line right now in spring ball is led by Guy Miller, Ty Whittier, C.J. James and Nuku Latu. Cory Macon and Zach Tiedgen played last year, too, but they're not able to participate in spring practice. There are some younger players who are going to get into the rotation and you'll be hearing about them soon enough I'm sure.
In the secondary, Blu is our leader. Momo Thomas and DeAngelo Wilkinson are experienced corners, and Ivory Herd has played some at safety. I like our secondary a lot.
I realize that coaching takes many hours and travel time away from your family. What is the best way that you have found to stay connected with
your wife and your daughters (especially when they were younger)
- Jennifer, Fort Collins
SF: My wife, Nancy, is special. I am lucky she agreed to marry me 28 years ago. I am sure she has often wondered why she did. Football coaching is time-consuming, but you can include your family. Nancy has always been involved in my career. I always had our girls hanging around practices or summer camps. I think my career has brought us closer as a family. I remember calling plays on the sidelines a few years back with the Buffalo Bills. My daughter, Jill, was on the sidelines running the still photos (taken from the birds-eye view of defensive formations) to the coaches and players. At the same time in that game, my other daughter, Lindsey, was working for the training staff. We were playing the Tennessee Titans, 76,000 fans in the stands. Both of my girls were there with their dad. I will never forget that day.
You have arrived on the Colorado State campus three times in your life. First as a scholar-athlete in the late '70's, then as an assistant on
Coach Lubick's staff in the '90's, and finally three years ago as head coach. Is there a location on campus that has special significance for you, that
you would suggest to a potential recruit they see on their visit?
- Joni, Mead
SF: Joni, I love the Oval here on our campus. CSU is beautiful, and the Oval is the crown jewel. When Pete Thomas was on our campus, our university president, Tony Frank, walked with Pete and his family on the Oval. Sometimes, I sneak out of the office for a walk and find myself at the Oval. But the true beauty of Colorado State is the people. Great faculty, great students.
Steve Fairchild, in his third season as head football coach at Colorado State, is the 19th coach Rams' history. This is his third stint at CSU, after three seasons as quarterback (1978-80) and eight as an assistant coach (1993-2000). He also spent seven seasons coaching in the NFL, including five as offensive coordinator with the St. Louis Rams.

Hiya Obijuan (which I didn't catch until I actually typed it out; that's cute), welcome to the Guild!
I love reading books, and it always thrills me when the author and accompanying artist take the time and effort to more fully immerse me in their world (whether real or imagined) with a map. I always turn to the maps first and often try to memorize the characteristics of the world.
I have now found myself DM'ing for a group of friends, and my plans for the world they inhabit now mean I will need to provide them with at least a rough map. Thus, my registration here. I'm in awe of much of the art and vision, and look forward very much to attempting to learn, create, and (eventually) give back. First up will be a rough map of a capital coastal city (describing wards, with river, gates, and potentially walls and the palace). A bit ambitious, yes, but why not aim high?
I look forward to meeting and interacting with everyone here; from what I've read so far, this is a very generous community. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

For example, during surgical repair of a dysfunctional heart valve, such as mitral valve prolapse, the heart can be chilled to greatly reduce its pumping activity. This temporary form of hypothermia allows the surgeon access to the valve by effectively slowing the heart's activity by employing medications and ice.

Ocala woman stabbed, shot in head; son arrested in murder
Published: Monday, April 2, 2007 at 3:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 2, 2007 at 3:20 p.m.
OCALA - Police have arrested a woman's 29-year-old son in connection with her apparent shooting or stabbing death at the woman's Ocala home shortly after noon today.
Carolyn Cheuvront, 50, of 2428 N.E. 17th Ave., was shot in the head with a shotgun and stabbed, according to Sgt. Lou Biondi, spokesman for the Ocala Police Department.
The son, Rickie Elliot Cheuvront, who until two or three weeks ago lived at the house, had placed the 911 call at 12:58 p.m. But Biondi did not wish to discuss what he said on the telephone because it might hinder the investigation.
Biondi said he did not yet know the motive for the killing. He did say the son was at the Police Department and was being charged with murder.

If a fence is put around the canal, the fence can lock a poor little animal in, and it could not come back out. An animal could fall in the canal and drown and no one would be able to save it, or it will die by starvation because it cannot climb over the fence. My friend's mom saved a baby raccoon that was alive, floating down the canal, trying to get out. If a fence was put there, then the little baby raccoon would have died. If they do end up putting a fence there, they should make sure there are no more animals in the canal, and if they were, they should take them out. They should also make the fence all the way around the canal, even over the top, just in case an animal comes and tries to get through, and even kids because they can fall through if they climb over the fence.

B-Ridley Scott's return to science-fiction is a dazzling visual experience, but its connections to the world of 'Alien' turn out to be a real hindrance, making the film frustrating as a whole.

This monograph, published six years after the first edition, presents a description of the cytological and chemical changes that occur in inflammation, including the appearance of factors that are believed to be specific mediators of the pathological changes. There are chapters on the role of inflammation in immunity, diabetes in inflammation, repair, and the anti-inflammatory problem. The material presented in this volume is based on observations of the author and of others in this field for more than 20 years. Despite the author's evidence for his belief that the mediators of increased capillary permeability, migration of leukocytes, leukocytosis, leukopenia, and fever are chemically distinct products of injured cells, his thesis remains far from proved, as he himself admits in the preface. The difficulty in reproducing his observations in several other laboratories has limited acceptance of his premises. This volume is a vigorous presentation of one person's point of view and

So imminent was the danger of an outbreak that it gave the de-

up the "Order."
It is owing to this fact that the full range of this widespread

After the arrests had been made, the prisoners confined in jail,
it was ascertained that it was a fundamental element in the order,
sustained by solemn oaths, to rescue its members from the author-

alarming intelligence that meetings were being held at the hour
of midnight, attended by many armed men, for the purpose of
planning an attack upon Gainesville, and [of] rescuing the pris-

but the prompt and efficient soldiery deterred them from their

with as much wisdom, justice and moderation as may anywhere
be found in the history of criminal procedure.
Out of sixty-eight cases brought before the Court, thirty-nine
were condemned and hung and the others turned over to the
Provost Marshal, or finally discharged from custody.
A careful examination of the testimony will show that many
were implicated who were discharged, indicating the spirit that
should prevail with all tribunals: that if error was [to be] com-

I am a mother of two wonderful DS. My youngest is 4 and we are done having children. I have been working hard at getting my body back in shape and have been very successful. I am now interested in getting breast augmentation in the next few months. It is something that I want to do for myself and have been doing tons of research. My problem is that I am stuck with what doctor I should use. I don't even know where to look this up. I have had a couple friends give me names, but I was wondering if any of you know of a good plastic surgeon? I am in the Los Angeles area.
Please let me know who you suggest and if you have any personal stories, please share. You can send me a message if you don't want to post it.
Thank you!

Kinz, or "Kinza" is the 2007-Graduate BASS BONE player in Jazz Band. He dwells on the internet on the Griffler forums (look up the name, biatch.) and he rather likes "The God Father". In 2004, Kinz had his big break as young aspiring recording artist, Vicki wrote and performed a song about him called "Kinza the stoner". The song recieved a grammy because of its greatness and Kinz's wealth only rose. Well uh, the end.
Kinz went to the store to buy peanuts, but realized that he was in the wrong store.

Health Professions Education Programs
GAO-06-55: Published: Feb 28, 2006. Publicly Released: Mar 30, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(312) 220-7767
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
For fiscal years 1999 through 2005, the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), spent about $2.7 billion to fund the more than 40 health professions education programs authorized under title VII and title VIII of the Public Health Service Act. These programs include those providing grants to institutions, direct assistance to students, and funding for health workforce analyses. Title VII includes programs related to the education of providers, such as primary care physicians. Title VIII includes programs related to nursing education. Most of these programs were last reauthorized in 1998. GAO reviewed changes in funding and in the number of these programs since 1998, HRSA's goals and assessment of the programs, and HRSA's national health professions workforce projections. GAO reviewed relevant laws and agency documents and data, and interviewed HRSA officials and representatives of health professions education associations.
Funding for title VII and title VIII programs increased from about $300 million in fiscal year 1999 to more than $450 million in fiscal year 2005, and the overall number of these programs also increased since reauthorization in 1998. From fiscal years 1999 through 2005, funding for title VII programs rose by about one-fourth, while that for title VIII programs more than doubled. The overall numbers of title VII and title VIII programs administered by HRSA increased from 46 in fiscal year 1998 to 50 in fiscal year 2004. The number of title VII programs remained the same, while the number of title VIII programs increased. HRSA has published performance goals for title VII and title VIII health professions education programs but cannot fully assess the programs' effectiveness because the goals do not apply to all the health professions education programs, and the data for tracking progress are problematic. Recognizing the need for a better means of measuring the results of title VII and title VIII programs, HRSA is developing new performance goals and measures for them. The effectiveness of these efforts will depend upon the agency's ability to collect complete and timely data to assess progress toward these new goals. HRSA has published few recent national workforce projections. In the past decade, the agency has published national supply and demand projections for the nurse and pharmacist workforces but no national projections for the physician and dentist workforces. Yet regular reassessment of future health workforce supply and demand is key to setting policies as the nation's health care needs change.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: HRSA agreed with GAO's conclusion that updated workforce supply and demand projections are vital for informed decision making about health professions programs. In 2012, HRSA established timeframes for producing detailed workforce supply and demand projections for key health professions, including physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, during the period 2013 through 2016.
Recommendation: The Administrator of HRSA should develop a strategy and establish time frames to more regularly update and publish national workforce projections for the health professions.

I like sticky rice. It reminds me of my childhood growing up in a traditional Asian family. I never though about adding sticky rice to ice cream. I'm gonna definitely try this out!

This week at the station
This week at Mawson: 19 April 2013
Mawson darts
Darts has proven to be a popular social activity this year at Mawson, with no signs yet of waning popularity. Some nights can see up to eight or nine candidates vying for supremacy and the highly sought-after kudos that comes with smashing an opponent. The most popular game is "shanghai", which over the years has traditionally been the game of champions in Antarctic circles.
The name "shanghai" refers to a particular throw where each of the three successive darts land in a single, double and treble portion of the same number.
When playing darts, it is obviously best to wear clothes in which you feel comfortable, so that you will be completely at ease and unrestricted.
In the above photo, Chris demonstrates what the well-dressed darter wears. This is actually an official Mawson shirt, to which we can all aspire (unless you're from Davis, or Casey, or Macca, or whatever), but any neat clean short-sleeved shirt will do for the meantime.
Regarding footwear, there could be nothing worse than having a tight-fitting pair of shoes that keep rubbing with each step you take. I personally find a casual soft leather pair the best. When you have settled on a pair, try to keep them only for when you play darts.
When an opponent is taking a shot, it is bad form to rattle loose change in your pockets, deliberately fiddle with your darts, chink glasses or make unnecessary loud trumpet sounds which might disturb him.
Although you may have heard about Mawson darts players keeping fit, I can assure you that this consideration is not really part of their make-up. Some players choose to indulge in exercise bikes, gym workouts or the sauna, but of course this is all a sheer waste of time. Whatever exercise you care to take, it is best not to overdo it. If you are a naturally big person like many of the leading Mawson players, you may care to stay that way.
Keldyn talks Hydroponics
Every two weeks most people on station are rostered to do their duties in the Hydroponics Building. For me it is a chance to get into my shorts, enjoy some humidity, artificial lighting, check on the plants and see how they have progressed. Darron our Met Tech is the head of the show and since volunteering he has done a wonderful job with the role and I can personally say it's really nice to get some fresh vegetables, herbs and lettuces coming through. I caught up with him this week and this is what he had to say.
Have you done Hydroponics before?
This is my first time as manager, but I have helped out previously at Macca and Davis.
What will you be harvesting this week?
Lettuces, Radishes, Silver beet, Pak Choi (they have taken approximately the same time as the packet said).
Have you enjoyed it?
It has been time consuming but down here in Antarctica it has been a good hobby. When you walk in the door it's like being in Cairns (with the day we went in at 60% humidity and 21° Celsius).
What is the most challenging things you have faced?
The flooding is a reoccurring issue with a few different causes. The constant planting, transplanting and pruning has also been time consuming.
On the subject of planting how do you go about it?
The lettuces and rocket tend to do best in the seeding tray, while larger seeds such as snap peas tend to grow alright being put straight into the vermiculite (the growing medium we use).
How often are they watered?
Again lettuces and rocket have nutrients fed to them with the water running 24/7. All other plants are watered 5 or 6 times a day for roughly about an hour each time. In addition to that the lights are turned on for 16 hours per day. All the timers are automatic.
What is a list of things we are currently growing?
Cucumbers, tomatoes ( 5 varieties), lettuces ( 5 varieties), pak choi, silver beet, radishes (2 varieties), sugar snap peas, spring onions, capsicums, chillies, strawberries and we have a really nice herb garden going.
Is there anything I have missed or you would like to tell me that would be of interest to the reader?
Seeing as we have no bees down here to pollinate the flowering plants, we have to use a paintbrush.
Until Next time
Blizz tales, or is that tails?
When the station gets hammered by winds up to 92 knots and nearly four days of blowing snow its good to see it end and the sun come back. We copped this at Mawson last week and when the wind finally dropped of and made getting outside a little more pleasant it was time to see how all that snow had changed the landscape.
When the snow blows down from the plateau most of it blows out to sea but anywhere that there is a boulder , building or other obstruction it builds up on the downwind side and forms blizz tails. Some of these can be quite large. This week snow built up to over three metres deep in some places. The photos below will give you a bit of an idea.
Juzzie's 9 with wine: Cookie
Location: The Dog Room. A room situated in the northern upper level of the Red Shed. This room holds magnificent views of Horse Shoe Harbor as well as West bay and the ensuing buildings that lay between us the Antarctic Vista. The moderately sized room that now houses most of the guitars on station as well as a few little drums, harmonicas, a clarinet, a washboard and a pair of bagpipes, more importantly houses memorabilia pertaining to the dogs of Mawson past. Along with a full sized sled and the tools used by past expeditioners, this room also displays photographs and maps depicting the routes used by the dogs and their handlers.
Sitting amongst all of this Is Graham "Cookie" Cook (our illustrious Station Leader) and myself (an inquisitive soul and part time detective). Over a bottle of Moppity Wine's Lock and Key Merlot which Cookie tells me of its characteristics like a pro [I look up to see him reading verbatim from the label] we begin our little chat.
This will be your second time here at Mawson, you've spent two winters at Davis and another at Casey. What keeps you coming back down?
Your company (I pick up a little sarcasm … aren't we off to a great start), the truth would be it's still an adventure and I still really enjoy it, the people, the environment. The people always fascinate me, a lot of it's about working with people. Though underlying it all is the sheer magnificence of the place, the outdoors and the beauty. It's somewhere I've always wanted to come. While I'm still enjoying it and they're still putting up with me … I can come back. (Not an easy man to put up with J)
What are some of the biggest changes you've seen over the last 10 years or so?
I think the type of person coming down here has changed. The culture has changed, the internet may have something to do with that. I think it's changed for the better. The environment obviously hasn't changed a great deal, but the work culture and people's reasons for coming down here have changed. There is now a higher emphasis on safety, which is common throughout all work place. Safe work practices have been at the forefront of my last five trips. So yeah the internet has changed things down here as a social media, a way of communicating, a way of getting information. Umm digital cameras have got people going back to their rooms and downloading photos and working on that stuff. The internet has changed those things and the way we interact on station … and that's changed dramatically over those few years.
You're making a Guitar (double neck) again this season after having successfully made one at Davis in 2011. What is the motivation for this and have you left any red food colouring for the kitchen?
[Chuckle] There's miles of that food colouring for the kitchen … I only took two teaspoons!! ( Well folks it was all over the bench, on the floor and on Cookies hands for a week two teaspoons?)
The motivation is to give me something to do, it gives me an outlet to be creative which I don't get so much in my work I suppose. Its just a personal creative outlet that I get some satisfaction out of. And its not really about learning to play it either, more its about the craft. After this I also have a very nice mandolin I will be making. (wear gloves this time mate…)
You seem to enjoy researching the history and lores of Antarctica. Are there any interesting facts you'd like to share with us today?
[Chuckle] um now? … About Mawson in particular? Ah no. [chuckle].
Look I'm enjoying reading about why certain places are named and who their named after and look at some of the early trips undertaken down here. I just like to see where people have been before. I'm not studying geology, I'm not studying the bergs or anything else like that, I'm interested in people. The journeys, the voyages and why they undertook them.
Has reading a book ever changed your life? Which one and why? … if yes
Oh well I'd have to say 'Once more on my adventure' biography of Frank Hurley is the reason I am here. I read this when I was 12 and I really enjoyed that. There is a whole heap of books that changed my opinions I think one of the most interesting books that I've read in the last 15–20 years is 'Why Warriors lie down and die' by Richard Trudgeon. It's about Aboriginals in east Arnhem Land, It gives a bit of an insight into some of their lives.
You mention living in Arnhem land quite often as being a very rewarding time in your life in both work and personal growth. Can you see yourself spending time there again?
Yes. I went back there last June, and it was a bit like going home. It showed me there are still some things I'd like to do. The people are warm and friendly, I'm welcomed there. Embraced, which was phenomenal. With mobile phones and computers and the internet I can now keep in touch … which was not there when I first left. It's great. Yeah Arnhem Land certainly has an attraction. I'll go back there. It's about time … I also need to catch up with my daughters Leah and Rebecca. They're Important to me. It's nice to follow my dreams, but I also like to follow theirs and be a part of that too.
The world is a big place do you have a bucket list of sights yet to visit?
[Chuckle] yeah its huge!! [there's no way I'm gonna achieve it … it's not a bucket, it's a huge bloody tank!! [Chuckle]. There's not enough days left in my life, in anybody's life to achieve the list. To a degree I can whittle it down. [this is where Cookie starts rattling of names and places around the world … we rejoin him ten minutes later], Kenya, south America, Australia, New Zealand, Australia again… So yeah huge bucket list, lots of things to do, lots of places to do them, and yeah not enough time to do it.
[Enter Cliff with a bowl full of Biltong. He decides to sit right down next to us and commences playing the a guitar … Cookie pours him a wine]
If you could ply another trade what would it be and why?
Chef, Cause they're cool!!
[Disclaimer: Actual question never ask. Response fictitious. Likelihood of this ever being true … slim.]We live in a very unique part of the world. As a Station Leader do you get asked many questions by people back home about life down here? And if so what sorts of questions are asked?
Are there any polar bears!! [really?] … [Chuckle] … more times than enough!!
I think most people ask me why I do it? What keeps you going back there? Strangers ask a lot of simple questions where as my close friends ask what I get out of it. They also want to talk about the people. A lot of people want to come down here to work and ask me my advice as a Station Leader, and what they need to do? I always send them back through the Division, but give them some advice on options.
[Enter Keldyn … Cookie offers up another glass of wine…]
So Cookie is there anything else you want to add?
Yes … anybody who's got a dream to come and work in Antarctica … it's up to you. Do something about it. It's achievable, follow your dreams!!
Thanks for the advice and interview Cookie.

Crest Financial Urges Clearwire Stockholders To Focus On Battle For Control Of Sprint
HOUSTON, May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Crest Financial Limited, the largest of the independent minority stockholders of Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ: CLWR), sent separate letters today to Clearwire stockholders and John W. Stanton, Chairman of the Clearwire Board, emphasizing that the contest for control of Sprint should be resolved before any definitive action on Clearwire. The focus of the stockholders' attention should not be on what happens at the Clearwire special meeting on May 21 but rather on what will ultimately happen with the contest for Sprint in June. In its letter to Clearwire stockholders, Crest stated that "Clearwire should not be locked up before the battle for control of Sprint is resolved. Clearwire is the key reason for the push by DISH and SoftBank to acquire control of Sprint. Letting Sprint gobble up Clearwire now would only transfer Clearwire's value to Sprint. Conversely, keeping Clearwire in play while the contest for Sprint is pending drives both bidders for Sprint to focus on Clearwire. So long as Clearwire is not locked up, the winner of Sprint is not guaranteed Clearwire and the loser of Sprint is not precluded from making a play for Clearwire. In addition, a third player, like Verizon, could enter the contest for Clearwire."Crest continued: "The key is to preserve Clearwire as a freestanding company before the Sprint contest is settled, and then the real battle for Clearwire begins. Regardless whatever the Clearwire Board has done up to now, it needs to recognize this current dynamic and not compound error upon mistake by letting Sprint lock up Clearwire, at any price, prior to the determination of who will own Sprint." According to David Schumacher, General Counsel of Crest, "Clearwire is the crown jewel, and Sprint is only the intermediary. There is no reason to let Sprint lock up Clearwire before Sprint's ownership is settled. The stockholders and Board of Clearwire should reject all offers from Sprint until the contest for Sprint is decided. Then the competition for Clearwire can begin in earnest between the winner or loser of Sprint, or another third party." In his separate letter to Clearwire Chairman Stanton, Mr. Schumacher urged the Clearwire Board not to accept any revised Sprint offer, not to postpone or adjourn Tuesday's stockholder meeting, and not to consider any future offer for Clearwire that does not include adequate protections for minority stockholders. Mr. Schumacher stated: "Any attempt by Sprint to postpone or adjourn the vote or revise the deal will afford the Clearwire Board the opportunity to stop and start over, and use this time to pursue a competitive process that can protect minority stockholders and unlock the true value of Clearwire."

text: Norwich and head coach John Martinson are not in a sharing mood. The Tornado take the field Saturday afternoon at Chenango Valley as the Section IV Division III front-runner. They have a one-game lead over CV and Oneonta, and the goal is to finish with a perfect division record and enjoy the spoils of hosting a first-round playoff game. We believe it is our destiny to win a championship, weve earned our position to be in a championship game, and we dont want to share the division title with anyone, said Norwich third-year coach John Martinson. We took the first two steps in the division, and now we need to take that third step against Chenango Valley.

you are a cool!
env, you are a best dj of the universe for me...YOU RULZ!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Why r u not making cd's and sharing this tuff witht the world your amazing!! this stuff is beyond professional keep it up!!!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Okay, Im sure this has been said countless times but....
EnV is so awesome. VERY. All of the songs made by you have been 10 stars, regardless. To top it off, this fit this little story i've got going just PERFECTLY.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
arists will get mad
this is pretty damned sweet, a nice envy song. the kick is slightly thin, and this song seriously hurts the ears when played through studio monitors with a subwoofer with low end extension.
it sounds great on everything else in my setup except with the subwoofer. the bass is really fatiguing on the very low end.
the vocals are very very stereo seperated throughout the song, which is just personal preference though, but the rest of this song is ace.
except of course for the GENERIC CHORD PROGGRESSIONS!!
lol it is well disguised with intelligent inversions of the arp saws.
a great song! I'm not going to do what most musicians will do and get mad because of the chord progressions or small faults, and envy worship. im going to sit back and enjoy the song(for 20 minutes till it gets old, like most dance music LOL)
very nice!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I VERY MUCH AGREE WITH YOU, EnV
Holy cow... I really wish you would've extended the trippy sliced vocals at 3:06.
I love replaying that part over and over again.
It kinda reminds me of the vocals in the opening credits of the movie "Paprika." Cept I like yours better!
Really though... slicing vocals? You should do it more often. It's TRIPPY.

Mother Teresa - digital art
Brilliant! I have my own version, but this overcasts it by far XD
thank you so much and i checked your page and your work is amazing too
You are welcome, this is a really great piece. I love how it focused on the face and then blurs out into the background. That was a nice touch. I'm trying to get into digital art myself, first I have to go over the mouse barrier, (as I cannot afford a graphics tablet at the moment.) It's really exciting stuff, I especially like the notion that I can always undo something if I mess it up .
Oh and thanks for your compliment. Really appreciate it XD.

From Kid Rock
I am beyond devastated to report that my personal assistant Mike Sacha passed away today in an ATV accident here in Nashville. He was a member of our family and one of the greatest young men I have ever had the pleasure to not only work with, but also to become friends with. I know I speak for us all in sharing my deepest condolences to his family. I can not imagine how they must feel. Myself, the band, our family, friends and co-workers are devastated over this loss. We were supposed to be back in Michigan today, but I am going to stay here with Mike until I can bring him home to his family. We've already been contacted by the press asking if it was me who was in the accident, so I want to stop any rumors before they spread. I'm asking everyone to please respect our and his families' privacy in this difficult time. RIP Mike. We will never forget you, my friend.
- Kid Rock
- Bob we are very sorry for the sudden loss of Mike, it is so tragic and unfair. He was such a fine young man with an incredible future. He was always so kind to us. We know how lost you must feel right now and all I can share with you from experience is to take it one hour, one day at a time. We suddenly lost our 20 year old daughter Jordyn almost 1 year ago in a car accident (May 5, 2015). You so kindly and respectfully toasted to her on New Year's Eve which warmed our hearts. I wish there was something we could do for you right now to ease your pain. What has helped us through this past year has been leaning on the love and support around us and not expecting too much from ourselves. Sending you much love and support in the days to come and know that we are all grieving with you, the KR family and Mike's family. Heaven gained another beautiful angel way too soon xox leony
- My thoughts and prayers are with you, the band, and of course Mike's family at this very senseless difficult time. When I lost my sister Susan I found such comfort when blasting "When it rains" thank you for that and yes God put his hands on Mike's shoulders WAY TO SOON! God bless! kolive47
- Prayers of peace and love to you, TBT, Mike and his family and friends. Heaven has another angel. I lost my daughter 20 years ago. The pain lessens but is always there. May you all find a level of peace. Know that there are so many of us out there with all of you in our thoughts and prayers <3 kristinedesilva

By K. S. ISLES and N. CUTHBERT
NORTHERN Ireland is economically so interwoven with Great Britain that, looked at broadly, it is not a separate economy at all but an undifferentiated part of a single economic system embracing the whole of the United Kingdom. This economic unity is closely bound up with political unity. On the one hand, natural conditions promoting economic interdependence with Great Britain form one of the main foundation stones on which political union rests; and, reciprocally, this natural tendency to economic integration has been greatly strengthened by the fact of political union. As a result of political union, and its implied recognition that economic union is desirable, the main policy decisions affecting economic conditions in Northern Ireland are made by the central government and apply indiscriminately to the whole of the United Kingdom; and, likewise, the main economic and financial institutions are common to the whole. Thus Northern Ireland and Great Britain are served by the one monetary and financial system and are both subject to the same monetary policy. Again, though Northern Ireland's fiscal system is not wholly common with that of Great Britain it is very largely so, and even where differences are formally permissible the scope for effective independent action by Northern Ireland is not very great in practice. Then again, social services are in all important respects on the same footing as those in Great Britain; for even though they are formally separate, economic integration is too close in other ways to permit of significant differences. Even more important, between Northern Ireland and Great Britain there is no restriction whatever on the passage of goods or the transfer of capital in either direction; and people are free to move from one to the other without let or hindrance and to live and work wherever they please.1 Moreover, most of the other economic institutions, such as trade unions, trade associations and wage-fixing machinery, are either unified with those in Great Britain or are run on parallel lines; many of the trade unions, for example, are national bodies with their headquarters in England.____________________

It's Murder! [artist id="508987″]Ja Rule[/artist] is mounting a comeback in the form of his new album, Pain Is Love 2, and will be joining MTV News' Sway Calloway for an in-depth interview on "RapFix Live" Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET.
In the early aughts, Queens rapper Ja Rule was a hip-hop juggernaut. As the face of Irv Gotti's Murder Inc. Records, Ja combined melody with hard rap bars to create fan favorites such as "Put It On Me," "Always On Time" and "Holla, Holla," selling millions of records along the way. His beef with rapper 50 Cent, as well as the federal money-laundering case against Murder Inc. proved to be too much for the multi-platinum rap star to overcome, and eventually Rule faded away from the spotlight.
In 2007, things went from bad to worse when Ja was hit with charges stemming from a gun bust outside New York's Beacon Theater after a show he co-billed with Lil Wayne. In December, he pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon; he was sentenced to 16 months in February and will begin his prison bid in June.
Before he turns himself in, Ja will release Pain Is Love 2. Last week, he debuted its first single, "Real Life Fantasy," which he performed in New York as a surprise guest on Diddy-Dirty Money's Coming Home Tour.
Tune in Wednesday at 4 p.m. ET to watch Ja Rule on "RapFix Live."

Conflict as an act of intimacy
October & November, 2013
Writtten and composed by women, Turbulence involves an all-female cast, consisting of a Mother (soprano), Daughter (actor), and the voices of a female pilot, flight announcer and baby. Set high in the sky in an airline passenger cabin, the opera plays out as a musical drama between the two main characters. The parallel monologues of the singing mother and her speaking daughter tilt, interweave, and collide; at times their articulations in the white-noise spectrum seem to be their only common language. This charged sonic environment includes the popping and rushing of an unreliable flight intercom system, an amplified transistor radio, a hand-luggage-sized synthesiser, and the haunting aria 'For those who are near you are far away', with its soaring opening line, 'Sky as blue'.
It is now possible to discover an online version of Turbulence, as filmed by Sydney-based artist Peter Humble. Turbulence was commissioned and first produced by Chamber Made Opera, as a living room opera in Northcote in 2013 (and recorded and broadcast on ABC Classic FM – it also later toured to regional Victoria). The film version has been created for the e-book LIGE, which was released on the 2 June 2015 by the Danish Ministry of Culture and Danish Ministry of Equality in collaboration with the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. LIGE celebrates the 100th anniversary of the achievement of female suffrage in Denmark, presenting projects by 20 artists whose work addresses the cultural politics of gender front-lines today in a variety of media.
To view 2015 film version, please go to http://lige-kunst.dk/ and click on the left hand side of the screen to reveal the Table of Contents and then click on Chapter XIV – Juliana Hodkinson.
'Turbulence takes us on an intriguing flight'
'The space is perfectly suited to the opera, or the opera to the space, revealing the incredible power of chamber opera to unite disparate environments through artistic aims'
'From the boarding procedures to the meditative opening sequence, through turbulence to the shock ending, this artistic simulation of an early flight had much to offer'
The World Premiere season was presented in partnership with the New Music Network, as part of Melbourne Fringe.
