Father turns son in to policeMarch 27,2013
ST. JOHNSBURY A Vermont man is facing marijuana charges after his father turned him in to police, saying his son was growing it in some bedroom closets.
Twenty-year-old Nicholas Hough of St. Johnsbury pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of marijuana cultivation and a misdemeanor charge of marijuana possession Monday.
Police said Houghs father, Clifton Hough, went to the state police in February and said he suspected his son had set up marijuana growing operations in both of his bedroom closets at their home.
The 51-year-old Hough told police he wanted to put a scare into his son and no longer wanted illegal activity in his home.
Police executed a search warrant several days later and found four suspected marijuana plants and drug paraphernalia.MORE IN This Just In

Villa v Swansea team news: Lambert says no decision on Guzan or Given
Paul Lambert insists "nothing in set in stone" as he gets ready to pick his No.1 for the game against Swansea.
Lambert elected to select Brad Guzan ahead of Shay Given for the match at Newcastle.
Given had played against West Ham and Everton but Lambert chose to switch to Guzan for the Tranmere and Newcastle clashes.
Lambert wouldn't be drawn on who would play against the Swans on Saturday, keeping his thinking close to his chest.
He said: "Nothing is set in stone. You can't have anything set in stone in football.
"I just try and pick a team I think can win a game. It's nothing personal against anyone.
"It's just a team I think can win us a game.
"Brad came in and did exceptionally well. Shay has been a world-class keeper all his days and nothing is ever set in stone.
"Brad is in there at the minute. I'm pretty sure Shay will push him every step of the way.
"It is a decision I thought was right for the football club at that time and Brad was exceptional at Newcastle."
Lambert also revealed there were no fresh injury worries heading into the Swansea game, with Joe Bennett [ankle], Chris Herd [thigh] and Fabian Delph [knee] all recovered.

Students Explore, Delve Deeper with Help of Grants
Montana Bass '18
Student recipients in two different grant programs will showcase their experiences and you'll have the opportunity to talk with them about how the grants support learning at CC.
Promoting CC students' imagination, challenge, and personal growth in their own responsible and conscientious pursuit of wilderness expeditions and education — that's the purpose of the Ritt Kellogg Memorial Fund. Each year, the Ritt Kellogg Memorial Fund gives grants to a selection of student applicants. This summer, the fund sponsored 10 expeditions in which 27 students participated. Talk with grant recipients in person at the Ritt Kellogg Memorial Fund Expedition Grant slideshow on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 7-8:30 p.m. in the Cornerstone Arts Center Screening Room. Student groups will share their incredible backcountry expeditions throughout North America.
Since its inauguration in 1995, the Ritt Kellogg Memorial Fund has provided 320 students with expedition funding, resulting in 134 successful expeditions and countless life-changing experiences for Colorado College students.
Keller Venture Grants provide another unique opportunity for CC students, sending them out into the world with the resources to explore a specific interest. This year marks 10 years for the Keller Family Venture Grant program. Last year, the program provided $121,750 to 134 CC students for research and experiential projects.
Students' projects ranged in focus from art to health care to environmental studies. The grants took students to five continents and 13 countries. The students who receive them exhibit noteworthy innovation, creativity, and passion in their ability to pursue their interests and take advantage of a unique and vital resource at CC.
Anna Cain '17 traveled to Dublin to continue delving into a book that she did not want to put down at the end of the block. "Ulysses is a book that just destroys your mind," Cain explained. "After one block, I knew I hadn't gotten all I could out of it, so I continued to read it over the course of one semester." Cain meticulously traced the travels of Ulysses during her semester of reading and applied for a grant that would take her to Dublin in the summer to trace his path herself. She researched the commercialism that has grown from Ulysses's legacy in Dublin and paid specific attention to this in her travels. "It began as just seeing how Ireland was honoring its legacy, then I was finding lots of industries whose entire business model was based on their connection to Ulysses," she said.
Morgan Mulhern '17 began her CC semester in a Latin America study abroad program with a grant to study the food of southern Peru over winter break before the spring semester started. "Culinary culture can be thought of as a form of unwritten communication and identification. I traveled from Lima down the coast to Arequipa, Puno, and Cusco. I visited restaurants of Acurio Gaston along the way. His restaurants serve to integrate, celebrate, and explore various fields surrounding the culture and creation of food," said Mulhern.
To make even more memorable his travel with the CC men's soccer team, Soren Frykholm '17 applied for and received a grant to create a documentary exploring the effect of travel on team companionship. "I had the camera rolling as much as I could," said Frykholm. "I really wanted to get at, 'What is the importance of world travel' and 'What is the purpose of this trip?'" Frykholm dedicated the project to his coach, Horst Richardson, and his wife, Helen, for their 50 years of service to the team.
All three students stressed heavily the accessibility of the grant application process and the academic and personal growth they experienced as a result of their adventures. View an interactive map of all grants from the past two years.
Or, hear their stories in person and learn about how the Keller Venture Grants have transformed the student experience at CC. The Keller Family Venture Grant Forum happens Thursday, Nov. 5, beginning with a reception at 4:45 p.m. in the Cornerstone Arts Center's main space and a student improv performance by TWIT (CC's Theatre Workshop Improv Troupe) at 5:20 p.m. Featured student IGNITE-style presentations begin in the Celeste Theatre at 5:30 p.m.

Shove Sound System Gets "Revolutionary" Update
The next time you attend a program or performance at Shove Chapel, go ahead and sit in the back. What ITS experts call "revolutionary technology" is now in place,offering a greatly enhanced sound system for the historic building. "The sound quality is awesome," said Jera Wooden, "We had no idea how clear and crisp everything would sound."
ITS began working on the project about a year ago, recognizing the need for an upgrade to the sound system while also identifying very specific aesthetic and acoustic needs within the space. The Tectonic speakers are "cutting edge" said Randy Babb and Sean Roberts, members of the ITS Smart Spaces team who led the installation process. While traditional speakers distribute sound directionally, similar to the way light is distributed by a spot light, the new speakers use a flat surface to distribute the sound cleanly and clearly, with less echoing. Shove Chapel is one of the first buildings in the country to install this new speaker technology.
Visually, the flat speakers are unobtrusive in the historic space. They're only 2.5 inches thick and five new speakers replace the 20 small speakers used in the old system. They were powder coated with a custom color to match the chapel's stone walls and the extensive wiring (they're wired speakers, but you wouldn't easily notice) required a month of drilling, boring, and cosmetic work.
The new system launched with the 2015 Baccalaureate ceremony and has been used at weddings and other services throughout the summer. Now, controls are mobile, accessed via a handheld iPad, or iPads in two different stationary locations within the chapel, improving the ease of use, formerly done in one tiny control room, up a steep flight of stairs. "Weddings are so much easier, not constantly running up the stairs, and we have wireless microphones; it's great," Wooden said.
This $76,000 project was funded through an endowment used for regular maintenance of the facility. Take a listen here, and a look at photos, from installation through the final product, below.

Congrats to 2015 PIFP Fellows!
Thirty-nine students will serve in fellowships this summer as part of the Public Interest Fellowship Program. The program acts as a matchmaker between CC students with an interest in the social sector and nonprofit organizations doing innovative work in the public interest. Often, this work involves policy, research, and advocacy. This year, CC has 20 summer fellows and 19 yearlong fellows.
Thanks to all faculty and staff members who submitted letters of recommendation on behalf of these students, and to the CC community who will support them in these endeavors.
Congratulations to all of the PIFP fellows!

The Soup Project – Rethinking the Community Kitchen
The CC Community Kitchen has changed and is now working with the community as The Soup Project at the Community Kitchen Club. The Soup Project offers students and guests a shared space to practice food justice and arts for social change each week. However, the change is not just in name.
Guests will be welcomed into Shove Memorial Chapel for a meal on the CC campus this Sunday, as they have each Sunday for more than 22 years. But the support CC provides for those in need now includes more educational programming, focus on nutrition, and structure.
An initial action plan had a Nov. 16 target date to move the kitchen out of the space at Shove Chapel. But through a collaborative effort, The Soup Project took shape and will now work to address the root causes of poverty, hunger, and homelessness through education, awareness, and advocacy.
A registration process for all participants, or members, of the Community Kitchen Club – all volunteers, students, and guests – began in mid-November. This provides accountability and empowers all to take ownership in solving these issues in the community. The format of the program has also changed; the focus now is on community learning, providing educational programming around art for social change, accompanying a nutritious meal. All participants will have to abide by a code of conduct; a community safety plan and training for all participants are also new components of The Soup Project.
The Soup Project mission involves much more than providing a meal to those in need. It is a place where neighbors can come together to create a better community. Dave Harker, newly appointed director of the Collaborative for Community Engagement, said issues of security, integrity of the building, and the nature of the Community Kitchen are now being addressed. Meals are continuing for those who choose to participate in the programming component and dialogue is now underway to determine a new location for the future. Guests are already recognizing the change, and those who choose not to participate in the programming will receive a boxed lunch to take with them on Sundays in December, providing a meal to aid in this transition for the community.
The Soup Project is a collaboration between CC's Food Coalition and Arts for Social Change Coalition, which is housed within CC's Collaborative for Community Engagement. If you would like to learn more, contact Adison Petti: email@example.com.
New and potential partnerships in the community will be identified so students may continue to work on these issues and engage in purposeful ways with those who are homeless, hungry, and impoverished. In partnership with CC's Innovation Institute, the Collaborative is encouraging students to have a larger and more lasting impact through The Soup Project Challenge. This challenge will offer $20,000 in award money to fund student-designed social innovation projects to address homelessness and hunger in Colorado Springs. Details about the criteria, application process, and deadlines are coming soon. The Soup Project Challenge kick off and information session will be held Dec. 10, at 5 p.m. in the Morreale Carriage House.

Giving Thanks at Annual Thanksgiving Meal
Seventy-five students gathered for a traditional Thanksgiving meal, enjoyed football games on the big screen, talked about the myths and traditions around the holiday, and took in some arts and crafts fun making hand turkeys. The annual Thanksgiving meal is an opportunity for any students on campus during the Thanksgiving break to spend time together and savor a holiday meal. A team helped put on the feast, with Bon Appetit preparing the meal, representatives from Campus Safety carving the turkeys, and Residential Life coordinators assisting with activities. Residential Life and Housing, Campus Safety, and The Butler Center provided funding.

Operation Worner Desk: Care Packages to Afghanistan
Baby wipes, canned fruit, Skittles, beef jerky, tuna, pistachios: It's not the usual Worner Desk collection of items. However, those on the collecting end – employees at the desk – were glad to gather them, and those on the receiving end – a platoon in Afghanistan – will be glad to get them.
Linking the two is Willma Fields '01. Lynnette DiRaddo, now manager of the Worner Information Desk, and Fields had known each other years before, when they worked together in Campus Activities. Fields, a religion major, was a student intern and then paraprofessional in Campus Activities. They reconnected when Willma's husband, Sgt 1st Class James Fields, was reassigned to Fort Carson last summer before deploying to Afghanistan in February. He is scheduled to return in late November.
To occupy the time, Willma began filling in at Worner Desk last fall and was hired fulltime in May. Soon she was chatting with DiRaddo about her children, ages 5 and 8, and her husband, who heads a platoon in rural Afghanistan, where they remove improvised explosive devices from civilian areas and assist with the transition from NATO-supported to Afghani-supported operations.
Fort Carson had always been in the background for DiRaddo, but never had any direct impact on her. That changed when Willma started working at the desk. "I started witnessing first-hand the effects of deployment and what it is like to be in the military," DiRaddo said. "Willma would talk about sending her husband care packages, and I said, 'I want to do that, too.' I wanted to do something to help this family." Being of Italian descent, DiRaddo did what comes naturally: "When you don't know what else to do, feed them."
With support from Vice President for Student Life and Dean of Students Mike Edmonds, DiRaddo and Career Connections Advisor Gretchen Wardell contacted various departments in Student Life, asking if people, either personally or through a departmental budget code, wished to donate to a care package for James Fields' platoon.
The response was immediate, and Operation Worner Desk was underway. Departmental sponsorship came from the VP of Student Life, Worner Campus Center, Career Center, Campus Activities, Arts & Crafts, and Accessibility Resources (formerly Disability Services). Personal donations came from Wardell, Jason Owens, Tara Misra, Sara Rotunno, Bethany Grubbs, and Andrea Culp, with more $500 being collected.
With the platoon's wish list in hand, DiRaddo and Wardell launched into action, shopping for the items and filling two carts – and then going back for more when they realized they still had money to spend. In addition to snack foods, they also purchased practical items: small ice packs for the soldiers to tuck into their uniforms to help abate the 112-degree temperatures in Afghanistan, powdered flavorings for drinks, to make the perpetually lukewarm canteen water more palatable, and baby wipes, used to cool down and wipe off dust in an area with little running water.
Worner Desk student staff members Sydney Minchin '15, Ginni Hill '15, Sam Zuke '15, Helen Kissel '16, and Antonio Soto helped unload the goods from the car and transport them to DiRaddo's office, where they were packed into boxes for shipment to Afghanistan.
"I'm amazed at how much people care," Fields said, as she surveyed the mounds of supplies. "The war has been going on so long, and people still care. This is my CC family; this is my home base."

CC Has Exciting, Varied Summer of 2013
Amanda Udis-Kessler, Director of Assessment and Program Review:
I started to record the third album of my music, welcomed an exchange high school student from Germany into our household, saw the TONY-award-winning musical Pippin on Broadway, preached the LGBTQ Pride Service sermon at my church, worked on a new sociology project about mechanisms of social inequality, read some ethics books, and visited the Bronx Zoo for the first time since my childhood.
Eric Perramond, Associate Professor of Environmental Science and Southwest Studies
I spent May and June preparing for a course on food and agro-ecologies of the Mediterranean Pyrenees, to be taught in summer (Block A) of 2014. Then in July we moved to Chicago to do research on my next book and to prepare (with Bill Davis) the ACM Newberry Research Semester in the Humanities, where we will be teaching a group of 14 students from across the ACM colleges through December of 2013.
Pam Leutz, Assistant to the Dean of the College/Dean of the Faculty:
I spent 10 days in a small castle town in the Czech Republic making miniature design bindings, eating and drinking well, dancing and laughing with old friends there, and enjoying my "other life."
Marion Hourdequin, Associate Professor of Philosophy:
Taught an interdisciplinary CC summer course on ecological restoration with my husband, geographer David Havlick. Presented a paper at an environmental philosophy workshop in Durham, England, and a talk at the Ecological Society for America meeting in Minneapolis. Began editing chapters for a book on ecological restoration in layered landscapes, and wrote a chapter for that book. Visited family in Connecticut and traveled with my husband and our children to Northern California for camping and hiking in old-growth redwood forest. Played soccer and went for some long runs.
Claire Garcia, Professor of English:
Thanks to a Mellon grant, I spent July in Tours, France, in the Cours Avancé at the Institut de Touraine. I spent a couple of days in Paris making s arrangements for my Block 3 class, Black Writers in Paris. I was home for three days before going to New Mexico to attend a family wedding, and then the following week I went to Washington, D.C., and New York City to do research at Howard University and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture respectively. During my East Coast weekend, I dropped off my son, Mateo Garcia '07 at Dartmouth where he is starting at the Tuck School of Business. I then barnstormed routine yearly doctor's appointments and cleaned out my closet, which for some reason I always do just before Block 1.
Susan (Stuey) Stuart Elliott, Women's Lacrosse Head Coach:
I was an assistant coach for the Team Canada women's lacrosse team that competed in the World Cup games this summer in Oshawa, Calif. We proudly represented the Maple Leaf in winning a silver medal with the largest number of countries (19) competing this year. It is an every four year world championship competition, which Team USA won.
Owen Cramer, Professor of Classics:
Over the summer I spent four days reading first-year writing portfolios, then about a month mainly reading for pleasure and enlightenment, then three weeks of visits: to Eugene and Bandon, Ore., with my children and grandchildren, to Breckenridge for a reunion of my wife's oldest friends from Mississippi, and to North Carolina to see some of my and my wife's cousins and a sister- and brother-in-law. Then I began canvassing for John Morse against the recall organized by NRA and national Republican operatives. Along the way we bought a new car (the old one is 25 years old) and had the house re-roofed.
Kristi Erdal, Professor of Psychology
After teaching PY100 in summer session, my family took our travel trailer through the upper Midwest, seeing Mt. Rushmore and Crazy Horse monuments, Wind Cave National Park, attending a summer hockey game at the University of North Dakota (wearing our CC T-shirts!), sliding down the alpine slide at Lutsen Mountain on the north shore of Lake Superior, and visiting friends all along the way. Saw a lot of corn…
Bob Loevy, Professor of Political Science:
Over the summer of 2013, I published two new Internet books on the history of Colorado College. The first book is a collection of historical accounts of life at Colorado College written by faculty, staff, students, alumni, etc. Interesting items include an oral history on the founding of the Block Plan by Glenn Brooks and a chapter studying "The History of Gender at Colorado College." The second book covers Colorado College history for the period 1999-2012. It includes the final years of Kathryn Mohrman's presidency, all of Dick Celeste's, and the first year of Jill Tiefenthaler's.
Krista Fish, Assistant Professor of Anthropology:
This summer, I studied the behavior and biology of bushbabies, a group of nocturnal primates, at the Lajuma Reserve in northern South Africa. This pilot project was done in collaboration with researchers from other universities in the U.S. and the National Zoological Gardens in Pretoria. Although we were only at the site for six weeks, we gathered a unique and extensive dataset that we will build upon over the next five to 10 years. Following completion of our work in South Africa, I traveled to Madagacsar where I participated in the 2013 International Prosimian Congress at Ranomafana National Park.
Mari Lee, Visiting Faculty, Environmental Program:
I hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru. Incredible trek!
Ellen Rennels, Operations Assistant:
In July a wild nature episode unfolded in my back yard located eight minutes west of campus. At 4:30 a.m. I was jolted out of sleep by a horrific scream, like a rumble with 100 cats. The screams diminished and when I looked out a few minutes later , the early dawn light revealed a black bear killing a fawn. Gruesome as it was, I watched as the bear ate most of the fawn and then ambled over to my re-circulating fountain. He washed his paws, sat in it for a few minutes, then ambled off. That's my summer story.
Jim Swanson, Director of Financial Aid
In cooperation with the Bear Creek Community Garden Association and El Paso County, my wife, Jannette, and I volunteered many hours this summer and donated perennials and labor to restore a neglected flower garden in a large median in the Bear Creek Regional Park on Creek Crossing Street off West Rio Grande and 21st Street. This is our third year rehabilitating and managing this flower garden, adding enhancements each year. It is our hope and goal that our efforts add to the beauty of our city for people to enjoy.
Ryan Raul Bañagale, Assistant Professor of Music:
Immediately following commencement I traveled to the Library of Congress for research in the George Gershwin collection. In June we celebrated the birth of our second son, Theo. Somehow I managed enough sleep to complete a full draft of my book on Rhapsody in Blue in July. Finally, with guidance from Professor Anne Hyde and support from the Crown Faculty Center, I hosted a book manuscript workshop wherein four expert musicologists came to campus to provide feedback on that book manuscript draft. I'm definitely ready to get back into the classroom!
Andrea Bruder, Assistant Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science:
After one year of training, I met with friends from Belgium, South Africa, and England in Switzerland to begin our ride across the Swiss and Italian Alps. Every day entailed over 6000 feet of climbing, and the Alps are much steeper than anything I had ridden in Colorado. Pushing grades of 10-25 percent for several hours, we climbed mountain passes and rode over 40 miles each day. Breathtakingly beautiful views at the mountains made up for the pain. The descents were as steep on a mix of technical trails and roads. I finished strong and rolled into Riva di Garda at the end of day seven. Hardest thing I've ever done!
Esteban Gomez, Assistant Professor of Anthropology:
Megan Anderson and I did archaeological research in northwestern Costa Rica. This is the second summer in a row we have worked together to map out subsurface architectural features at archaeological sites in Costa Rica's Guanacaste province. This past summer Megan used Electrical Resistivity Tomography to test the Magnetometer data gathered in the summer of 2012, while I continued with excavations at locations targeted by the two geophysical techniques. With support from the Faculty Student Collaborative, students are currently working in the GIS laboratory to compile the data from the past two field seasons.
Diane Benninghoff '68, Assistant Vice President for Advancement:
Faculty guest Bruce Coriell and I traveled with CC alumni and parents through Grand Canyon on the Colorado River. For 14 days, we floated through the greatest geology textbook on earth, saw wildlife, enjoyed the music and poetry provided by our guides and Al Mehl '77 (and even some poetry from me), ran thrilling rapids, and hiked into side canyons. With Bruce's guidance about Native American spiritual traditions associated with the canyon and river and how we might invite the special power of the canyon into our own hearts, it made for an experience that will be remembered forever. To get a flavor of the trip, view slides and videos.

Open House Celebrates New Children's Center
An open house celebrating the new Cheryl Schlessman Bennett Children's Center was held Friday, Sept. 28, with three generations of family members in attendance. Colorado College's new children's center is named in memory of Cheryl Schlessman Bennett '77, an education major who was passionate about children's welfare and taught elementary school in Colorado.
Construction of the new $2 million children's center was made possible by a gift from the Schlessman family. Schlessman family and friends in attendance at the event were Lee Schlessman '50 (Cheryl's father), Susan Schlessman Duncan '52 and Jim Duncan (Cheryl's aunt and uncle), Bill Bennett (Cheryl's husband), Eric Bennett (Cheryl's son), Sandy Garnett '75 (Cheryl's sister), Mick Fredericks '76 (Cheryl's cousin), Deb Angell '74 (Cheryl's cousin), and Peggy Christie '77 (Cheryl's college roommate) and Alex Christie.
The new 9,000-plus square-foot center will accommodate 64 children, from infants to preschoolers, nearly doubling the number that the former children's center could hold.
Beth Dovenspike, director of Cheryl's Center, and Sandra Wong, dean of the college and dean of the faculty, both spoke at the open house. "At Colorado College, we often talk about enabling our students to become life-long learners. As we think about our own childhoods, many of us realize how much our earliest social and learning experiences mattered," Wong said.
She added that the center, which provides child care for Colorado College's faculty and staff, offers an opportunity for learning to begin in a rich and healthy environment. "The center creates the kind of community we value. It attracts faculty and staff to CC, and builds connections as children grow up together and share friendships," she said.

Woman's Club Presents CC with $27,000 for Scholarships
The Woman's Club of Colorado Springs presented a check for $27,659.77 to Colorado College on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 in conjunction with the club's annual luncheon and fashion show.
The money will be added to a scholarship fund the Woman's Club established at CC in 2002 when they gifted their club house to the college.
The Woman's Club of Colorado Springs Scholarship Fund provides scholarships each year to two female CC students who are from Colorado Springs and who have participated in community service during high school or college. Kasi Carter '11, a past Woman's Club scholar and current scholars Shaye Smith '13 and Jordyn Watts '15, joined Debby Fowler, stewardship director for the college, in accepting the check. Smith and Watts both spoke about the opportunities open to them as a result of receiving this scholarship.

Young immigrant, newly fearless, ponders future
NEW YORK Angy Rivera glided through the airport as though she owned it, giddy with excitement at her brave new world.
Then she saw the security guards, and froze.
After a lifetime of avoiding any public place where she might be asked for identification, had she just made the biggest mistake of her life? Would she be stopped, arrested, detained - and deported? Nervously, she handed over her boarding pass.
The security guard barely glanced at her Colombian passport, questioned her about a tube of hair mousse - and waved her through. Elated, she boarded the plane.
"I am flying for the first time," the 22-year-old criminal justice student from Queens wrote, in a jubilant essay.
"I left something up in between the air and clouds," she wrote. "Not my luggage. Fear."
That pulsing fear that had part of her life for 19 years, since her mother brought her here from Colombia - gone, swept away by President Barack Obama's announcement in August that some young illegal immigrants would be allowed temporary status and work permits.
Now she could visit the Department of Motor Vehicles, just to witness the crazy lines her friends complained about. Now she could savor the simple pleasure of walking home at night without the nagging fear that any little incident might trigger her deportation.
This is the way it is for hundreds of thousands of young men and women who suddenly can be sheltered from deportation under Obama's policy. So far, about 180,000 have applied for the program, and nearly 4,600 have been approved, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services; with a flick of a bureaucratic switch, young immigrants are coming out of the shadows.
But Angy Rivera is special. "Angy is our rock star," jokes a friend, Melissa Garcia Velez.
In the past two years, Rivera has become one of the most visible leaders in a nationwide movement of young people brought here illegally as children and fighting for the right to stay.
Along with Velez, she is a member of the New York State Youth Leadership Council, a nonprofit, youth-led organization that fights for immigrant rights. Her funny, pointed videos about the perils of navigating a life that is "undocumented and unafraid" are posted on the Internet. Her "Ask Angy" advice column has counseled hundreds of young illegal immigrants on everything from dating to suicide; the BBC has done a short piece on the column, as has NPR.
But suddenly the star, the one who can always research the answers and write about them in pithy prose, is stumped. And scared.
After sitting down with a lawyer, she learned that not only is she eligible for deferred action - a murky status that allows recipients a reprieve but is not a path to citizenship - she might be eligible for much more. A deeply buried horror from her childhood, which surfaced during a rigorous examination by her lawyer, means she might qualify for a special visa granted only to victims of serious crime. And that could lead to a green card and citizenship.
The knowledge has turned Rivera's head upside down.
If she is no longer "undocumented and unafraid," as her T-shirt proclaims, then what will she become?
If she is no longer illegal, she wonders, can she continue to offer advice to those who are?
Can she remain a leader in an organization where a core belief is that all decisions, big and small, are made by young people living here illegally on behalf of those living here illegally? Those with any kind of temporary visa or permanent status are asked to leave the room.

Re: WWE: The TwoThousandAndEleven Diaries
I read the Pay-Per-View might as well follow up with reviewing Raw.
King as GM isn't something I've ever personally enjoyed (even though it's starting to become a trend in BTB) I just have trouble taking him seriously as an authority figure. I have mixed feelings about the Supershows, or at least the timing of them. Using the going home shows to finish every other storyline just seems like it would hurt the pay-per-view build as that is your last chance to build the pay-per-view. I think just holding off until after SummerSlam and starting up with single-branded Pay-Per-views wouldve been the better route.
Punk coming out and wanting his title shot is all fine and dandy as it appears that SES is going to be the dominant heel group on Raw which should be good though I'm not really a fan of that actual stable members besides Punk. Punk versus Rey no doubt Punk will be getting his title shot come Money in the Bank.
Kofi was obviously going to Money in the Bank, wish we would've gotten more than a setence here though. Little after promo seemed fine, made the Supershow look good.
Miz and Ryder feuding...this probably the biggest Ryder push I've seen ever (minus maybe him eliminating Cena in the Rumble, looking you at you Melvs) But I'll be interested to see how you continue to push him. Screwy finish likely next week.
Women's Title, Diva's Title its all the same to me.
Is McIntrye a face? As someone newer to thread I don't know and this where the two sentence matches hurt you because I should be able to read the match and know who's face and heel and see at least a little of the story. Either way Ziggler is a nice addition to the Ladder Match
Truth's promo did it's job. The match was two setences so I won't comment on it. Truth was always going to win from the get-go.
The segment in the ring seemed very good but I'm going to question the matching a little bit, Morrison seems like he's being pushed to be the bigger star over Swagger, but he's never in matches with Del Rio. Maybe you're saving for SummerSlam? But it's really just an upper midcard match that could be on any Pay-Per-View. The tag match at the super show seems fine. Except I'd rather see both Del Rio and Swagger in MITB they both look like they could be potentially stars and would get a rub. I'm just not into this feud.
The main event was another two setence match with Punk obviously getting the win. I liked the post match beatdown on Rey-Rey, the faces making the save was a nice touch. Punk versus Cena should be good but I caution you not to go down the work shoot road WWE went, be different. Don't copy of real life ya know?
Ok overall, this show felt really really short. 4 matches isn't realistic most Raw's have 5 or 6. There weren't that many promos. I feel like this Raw would've clocked in being done about 10:15 in the East. I don't you told me sometimes you write shorter to stay motivated but this time it hurt the overall quality of the show.
Once upon a time the Pain was brought in 2008.......It will be brought again........

Protection of human rights must accompany relief efforts in Haiti
|Amnesty International
|Publication Date
|15 January 2010
|Cite as
|Amnesty International, Protection of human rights must accompany relief efforts in Haiti, 15 January 2010, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4b55783e3e.html [accessed 26 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
Amnesty International called on the United Nations to put in place measures for the protection of human rights and the most vulnerable among the survivors of Tuesday's devastating earthquake.
Amnesty International saluted the speedy and courageous efforts of UN, relief and development workers in Haiti and around the world assisting with humanitarian efforts to save lives, clear the devastation and restore basic services and the country's crumbling infrastructure.
The organization also asked for particular attention to be provided to ensuring respect for human rights and protection of children and those left orphans as a consequence of the earthquake. Girls in particular are at higher risk of sexual abuse and attack.
"The current situation of lawlessness in Haiti and the increased vulnerability of women and children creates the perfect environment for human rights abuses and crimes such as rape and sexual abuse to take place undetected and go unpunished," said Gerardo Ducos, Haiti researcher at Amnesty International.
"Protecting vulnerable groups from sexual violence is as important as providing them with relief."
Amnesty International made the call as thousands of Haitians are feared dead after a 7.1 earthquake struck the country on Tuesday. Thousands of people are still unaccounted for and survivors await relief efforts from international donors to provide them with access to drinkable water, food and medical care.
In the wake of the disaster, the law enforcement capacity of the Haitian National Police and the justice system are severely compromised as most of its infrastructure has collapsed and many officials remain unaccounted for.
Amnesty International has previously documented shocking levels of sexual violence against women and girls across the country.
"Before the devastating earthquake, Haiti was unable to effectively protect human rights and in particular, women and girls from sexual violence. Unless action is taken now while relief efforts are ongoing, the situation is only likely to deteriorate," said Gerardo Ducos.
Amnesty International conveys its deepest sympathies to the families and friends of the victims and a message of solidarity to the Haitian people.

The Wednesday visit is part of a leadership trip sponsored by Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce, but it's the first publicly acknowledged meeting between city officials and the delegation since last month when Democratic members became critical of Augusta's efforts to restructure its government.
An opinion issued by legislative lawyers for the delegation found the city's attempts to change the structure of government illegal without the commission amending the city charter, in contrast to an opinion by city legal counsel, but placed Copenhaver at the center of the debate by saying he has authority over hiring and firing no mayor since consolidation has exercised. The city is requesting legal opinions related to the issues from Attorney General Sam Olens.
Copenhaver announced earlier this week he'd put the powers up for a Tuesday vote by the commission, but conceded it's the latest bit of confusion and difficulty arising under the 1995 charter.
After meeting with Georgia's governor, university chancellor and others at the capitol, Copenhaver said he'll tell delegation members that the charter needs review by an independent agency.
Commissioners Jerry Brigham, Joe Bowles, Grady Smith and Joe Jackson said they were not invited to the Atlanta meeting and had no plans to attend. Commissioner Bill Lockett is ill and other commissioners could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

A security guard stopped me.
"Did you they are installing a bike rack in the garage?" he asked me.
Sure enough, a week or so later, I saw it. The bike rack was in the covered garage, guarded at the only entrance by security guards.
Not only that, there was a pretty deep-blue Cannondale parked in it.
I have to leave a note on that bike. For about 10 years, I thought I was the only bike commuter at all.
Well, I guess I have no more excuse to park my bike at my desk, anymore.

Lott Says McCain Will Back Bush, Wants Kasich on Ticket
Price, Joyce Howard, The Washington Times (Washington, DC)
Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott says that he believes Sen. John McCain will back Texas Gov. George W. Bush after a "period of introspection," and that Ohio Rep. John R. Kasich is his "personal favorite" to be Mr. Bush's running mate.
"John does not want Al Gore to be president of the United States. . . . John will probably become one of George W. Bush's most aggressive campaigners," Mr. Lott, Mississippi Republican, said yesterday on CNN's "Evans, Novak, Hunt & Shields."
Mr. McCain, Arizona Republican, announced Thursday he is "suspending" his candidacy for the GOP presidential nomination after losing to Mr. Bush in all but four of the Republican Super Tuesday contests.
However, Mr. McCain did not endorse the probable nominee.
The race between Mr. Bush and Mr. McCain was unusually bitter, and Mr. Lott told CNN the "two candidates need to sit down and sort of mend themselves . . . and say, `How can we work together?'
"That needs to be done, and I really believe it will be done. I know George W. Bush, and I know John McCain, and I know that they do have some hard goals and principles they believe in. I just believe that these two men can come together," the Senate Republican leader said.
Mr. Lott said he has reason for optimism. He cited Mr. McCain's "magnanimous" behavior in 1996 after his pick for president - Republican Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas - lost out. "When Phil lost, he [Mr. McCain] was on the next plane with Bob Dole and worked his heart out for Bob Dole."
Asked if he would put Mr. McCain on the ticket with Mr. Bush, Mr. Lott said: "I don't know. I would look at all kinds of factors," including a person's "age, region and experience."

Present Predicaments and Future Forays
The genre of testimonio, originally recognized as a separate category within academic circles by Casa de las Américas in the 1970s has recently been challenged from within the ivory towers by many of its founding theorists. This process is implicit in a volume of essays edited by Georg Gugelberger, The Real Thing: Testimonial Discourse and Latin America (1996), and further manifested in David Stoll's latest indictment of the Guatemalan activist in his Rigoberta Menchú and The Story of All Poor Guatemalans (1999). These academics appear to reject the ideological premise of testimonio, which assumes the possibility of giving voice to the subaltern, and question testimonio's veracity and viability. In short order, they have dethroned testimonio's celebrated icon, Rigoberta Menchú, and exhibited a general apostasy toward the genre as well as the primary promulgators of the testimonial mode of expression.
Many testimonios written since the 1970s feature principally women authors. In the Central American region, we find a plethora of indigenous writers who voice their perspective vis-à-vis criticism of the dominant socioeconomic and political structures of class and ethnic relations in their respective areas. The trend among academics seems to question the proposition of testimonio, to attempt to desanctify its keenly centered position as the epitome of "resistance literature" and thereby repudiate its validity. As a consequence, the reorientation of Western academe's bias with respect to the production of testimonial literary writing in Latin America prefigures a negative future for the dissemination of the works of two groups. In particular, both women and indigenous authors have zealously appropriated testimonio as axiomatic for their self-definition. Clearly this is a priv

California Chrome wins Preakness Stakes
Win sets up a date with thoroughbred history at the Belmont Stakes and final jewel of Triple Crown
California Chrome will be challenged at the Belmont by the four horses who finished directly behind him at the Kentucky Derby, in this order, Commanding Curve, Danza, Wicked Strong and Samraat are likely to show up on Long Island for the Belmont Stakes.
Sherman said California Chrome will rest a few days at Pimlico, "just let him be a horse," Sherman said, adding that he'll likely change up his colt's training a bit before the Belmont.
"It will change because we have a new surface," Sherman said. "I've got three weeks now. He'll probably just work an easy half a mile up to this race, and I can just play it by ear and see how fast he recovers. But he will work before that Belmont."
For jEspinoza, a chance to win the Triple Crown represents a second chance for the 41-year-old native of Mexico. He won the Derby and the Preakness aboard War Emblem in 2002, but the colt stumbled out of the gate and lost any chance to win it.
"I'm ready for it," Espinoza said. "Hopefully California Chrome comes back good. It's tough, but I'm just glad to have my second chance in my career. In a million years I didn't think I was going to have a second chance. I was very close once. Over a decade, here we go. I'm here again."
One of horse racing's more improbable and magical stories burst to another level Saturday at Pimlico Race Course as California Chrome won the Preakness Stakes. The win sets up a run to be the sport's 12th Triple Crown winner.
There was never a doubt as California Chrome, under Victor Espinoza, took the lead at the top of the stretch and finished ahead of Ride On Curlin.
California Chrome at the Preakness
California Chrome was the home-bred colt who was supposed to run into a herd of well-bred, blue-bloods and quit winning. But that hasn't happened, and it certainly didn't on Saturday when California Chrome added a blanket of black-eyed Susans to his bouquet of roses. The race, set around the circus of concerts, International Bikini Team Model Search and Infieldfest, where Jagermeister and other beverages flowed, was a stirring one.
Now the colt heads to New York to try and join the pantheon of thoroughbred elite. He's one of 33 horses to win the Derby and Preakness and hopes to make it a dozen to win the Triple Crown.

A simple stochastic model, based on a Poisson birth–death process, is proposed as a test bed for convective-scale data assimilation methods. The simple model mimics the extreme nonlinearity and non-Gaussianity associated with rapidly developing and intermittent convective storms. In this framework, we evaluate the Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (ETKF) and Sequential Importance Resampling (SIR) filter, and assess the impact of two strategies to improve their performance and efficiency: localization and observation averaging. In their basic implementations, both filters perform poorly. The SIR filter rapidly collapses, then very gradually converges to the observations as random perturbations introduced by resampling occasionally improve the analysis. The ETKF rapidly assimilates the correct locations of convective storms, but has large errors due to creation of spurious clouds by nonlinear amplification of small data assimilation increments. Localization, i.e. assimilating only local observations to produce the analysis at a given grid point, dramatically improves the performance of the SIR filter, but does not reduce errors in the ETKF. Observation averaging, i.e. spatially smoothing the observations before assimilation and thus making the distribution more Gaussian, is also effective for the SIR filter, and improves convergence of the ETKF.

You are probably thinking 'how will they top the Lawn Care scenario'  link

And trust me, it was tough to compete with Ron Wallace's fancy watch & shirt in the Lawn Video, but we have done our best.

In today's installment we are basically replicating the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock (CNA) (actual Maximo client) scenario that we discussed here , just on a smaller 'home' scale. Farms of all sizes need to maintain their livestock, from feeding to monitoring weight; from vaccinating to quarantining, all in order to optimize profits and comply with the government regulations relevant to their business (local or global).

In this scenario we look at how a small goat farm with only 103 goats operates using manual processes. If only they had Maximo! Take a look:

Mishap #35, Chittering Madness, is nearing completion. Should be around 90 pages, 15, 000 words, with color photo insert. This is part introduction to birding, part travelogue as two middle age punk rockers discover the joys of watching birds, getting out in nature, and making bad puns (well, I make the puns, to be fair to Tracy).
I'll have it printed some time in June and available by mail and at this year's Portland Zine Symposium. See you…Continue

Hi all,
Has anyone ever put their zines in those Little Free libraries people build in front of their houses? If yes, any trouble come of that?
I put Mishap special book issue in a few around town. I didn't get any feedback from this. Was wondering if others have had any experiences.
Also, why aren't all those books stolen right away and sold to the used book stores? There are plenty of folks who might do that. Do libraries, no matter how small,…Continue

I picked up a zine the other night and it brought to mind an issue I have thought about a lot over the years: overpricing of zines. Now, people do zines for a variety of reasons and that matters to how they price them. What has bothered me over the last few years are the number of people who seem to be treating zines as "art" and themselves as artists rather than people who make zines. As such, they are generally uninterested in others zines, won't do trades, and charge far more than…Continue

....two, actually.
For the first, due by the end of summer:
I have some miscellaneous essay-type things to share and hopefully a slew of band interviews--a rarity for my zine. Topics include vinyl records as memory collection, human time and conscience in the context of geologic and cosmic time, and more.
The second zine will probably take some time, being a long narrative covering Tracy and my growing interest in birding, ornithology, and other naturalist…Continue
dude! did you write the punk rule book? what's ok for a punk to do and what's not ok?

Ryan, thanks so much for sending all the zines! I have only got to really dig into the one reviewing books, i am loving the books you are reviewing and have already begun to star the ones i want to check out/order from the library (: glad someone out there is reviewing books, great idea. I'll be able to send my zine out to this coming Monday hopefully. Thanks for waiting (:
Hi Ryan, I got your envelope of awesome stuff today. Thanks! So far I have had a chance to flip through the catalog, and it's freaking hilarious. I have never read a hilarious catalog before. I may send you some tasteful power ties and a fifth of something foul. Oh, and your footer jokes are great! Pair a Docs! Haaaaa!
i would like to take up the TRADE opportunity ---

hello there, my friend on here said i may like your zines. want to send one my way? (:
Hi Ryan! The zine holders from bike parts look awesome. I'm wondering how much they cost. I'm helping open an infoshop in Cincinnati and we're actually located on the same premises as a bike co-op, so I thought they might be a really cool addition.

Just posted! Olympus E-410 EVOLT review
Just posted! Our detailed in-depth review of the Olympus E-410 EVOLT. This ten megapixel digital SLR is the lightest and slimmest on the market weighing in at just 435 g (excluding lens) and has design very reminiscent of Olympus' own OM series from the 1970's (and there's nothing wrong with that). The E-410 takes the entry level moniker and proves that you don't need to cripple a camera in order to maintain the rest of your product line, it has Live View, dust reduction, mirror lock-up, exposure bracketing and of course full lens compatibility, a strong range of features compared to the competition. See how the E-410 faired in our extensive review.

SCOTUS - Abortion
NPR's Nina Totenberg reports on today's oral arguments before the Supreme Court on so-called "partial birth" abortions. The case involves a Nebraska law, which supporters say outlaws a particularly gruesome type of abortion, which could be seen as infanticide. Opponents of the law say, medically, the term "partial birth" abortion has no meaning, and the law is broad enough to prohibit most second-trimester abortions. Activists on both sides of the issue carried signs and chanted outside the Supreme Court.

Rutherford County's unemployment rate has hovered around 10 percent for the past few months with job losses in construction and manufacturing the hardest hit.
But the tides may be turning in the manufacturing sector with Nissan staging a massive plant expansion, which will begin within the next two years.
The automaker plans to retool and expand its factory by 1.3 million square feet for the production of zero-emission electric vehicles and in turn create around 1,700 jobs, Chamber of Commerce President Paul Latture said.
"It's really … the wave of the future," he said. "Putting us – Smyrna, Rutherford County and Tennessee – we're being watched as the trendsetters in the auto industry."
The plant expansion is planned for the manufacturing of batteries and the related assembly of electric vehicles.
But in order to complete retooling the Smyrna plant and add a battery manufacturing facility, the company wants county backing in the form of up to $2.5 billion in industrial revenue bonds, which includes $1.6 billion in loans from the U.S. Department of Energy.
Industrial Development Board attorney Sumner Bouldin explained the bonds will not be issued all at once and Nissan is solely on the hook for repayment of the funds.
"They're revenue bonds … (so) payment comes solely out of whatever money is generated by the project," Bouldin said.
Rutherford County's Board of Commissioners took up the issue at its Thursday night regular monthly meeting, unanimously approving authorizing the IDB to issue the bonds with little discussion.
One question surrounding the plant expansion came from Smyrna Commissioner Mike Sparks who was concerned about the ratio of temporary, contract workers to permanent, benefited jobs.
"My concern is that these people are working without benefits," he said. "All employees need benefits."
Nissan representative Julie Corcoran, human resources director for Nissan's Smyrna and Decherd plants, said it's too early in the process to estimate the ratio of temporary to permanent jobs.
"(But) our intent is to be competitive and a good partner to the county," she said.
Baker told the county's Budget and Finance Committee Nissan projects the plant expansion would indirectly produce 10,708 jobs in addition to the payroll jobs. He said the anticipated wages would be approximately $525 million and generate $11.3 million in new local taxes.
Nissan estimates a start-up cost of $800 million to fund the first two phases of the project, which will be completed in five years.
The first phase of the project will launch in late 2012 with the creation of approximately 1,300 new full-time jobs. Nissan also foresees a second phase of the project in early 2015 that will add another 400 additional new full-time jobs.
Production of Nissan's new electric car, the LEAF, should begin in 2012.
"Our car had to be the world's first, medium-size, practical EV that motorists could afford and would want to use every day. And that's what we've created. The styling will identify not only Nissan LEAF but also the owner as a participant in the new era of zero-emission mobility," said Masato Inoue, product chief designer.
The LEAF will be powered by laminated compact lithium-ion batteries, which will be produced at a facility to be built on Nissan's Smyrna campus.
A combination of Nissan LEAF's regenerative braking system and innovative lithium-ion battery packs enables the car to deliver a driving range of more than 100 miles on one full charge.

Featherdale's superstar resident!
In case you don't know, Featherdale is home to not only Australia's most cutest animal, but arguably the cutest, most cuddly superstar in the animal kingdom. Some have crowned him King Fluffball and others have travelled across the world to be in his presence... we know him as Archer the Koala!
Archer has been hand-raised by our loving keepers at Featherdale Wildlife Park after his mother could no longer care for him at a young age. His growth was much slower than the other Koala's, but slowly and surely Archer captured the hearts of not only his 'parents', but his fans across the world. He now spends his days entertaining our guests and hanging out with celebrities for media appearances and television interviews.
On your next visit to Featherdale, don't forget to make your visit down to the Koala sanctuary to say 'g'day' to Archer and his friends! Book your tickets to see Archer here!

Amazing new Snake venom facial soon to come mid May! Or call us for more info!
The non-invasive formula is thought to be 100% safe, and can be applied twice a day to achieve visibly smoother skin.
But how does it work? The cream contains the aptly named Syn-Ake - a neuropeptide that mimics the reaction caused by the bite of a South-East Asian Temple Viper, resulting in a freezing effect on facial muscles.
To many, it might not sound like something you want anywhere near your skin.
But with celebs including Kate Moss, Katie Holmes and Naomi Campbell also going crazy for the cream, demand looks set to be huge when the product hits stores next week - with UK advance orders already topping 100,000.
Trials demonstrated that after applying the serum, wrinkles were less noticeable after just 90 seconds, with an incredible 52% reduction within 28 days.
'After two years of research and development to find the ultimate muscle freezer, I am very excited to be launching the Glamoxy Snake Serum,' says Rodial's president, Maria Hatzistefanis.
'There is no other product in the market right now with such amazing and instant results, it's simply the best.'

Cant Just Drive To Lincoln City
on August 11, 2009 at 2:00 am
Chapter: Comic
I don't know if you have weekends like this, but I did: Every time I tried to get behind the computer to get something done, I just fell asleep. I couldn't stay awake and work on anything.
It was terrible.
I've been exercising a little every day, so I don't think that's why. I know that some people use weekends to sleep, but I'm not that kind of person. I already sleep in like 3 hrs more during the weekend than the week itself.
I use the weekends to get stuff done, and I really need to get more stuff done. Maybe I ought to treat the weekend like the week, and get up early (4:30) and get stuff done.
I say that every weekend, but by Friday morning, I'm ready to sleep in.
What's your dysfunction?
