Only recently discovered by the international tidal river surfing community, the Bono Tidal Bore by the estuary of the Kampar river in the Riau Province is drawing surfing communities from around the world to this amazing Indonesian pororoca.
In February 2013, tidal bore surfer champion Steve King, who already holds two world records for long distance surf rides, broke his own Guinness World Record that he made on the Severn river in England, by riding an incredible 20.65 km (or 12.8 miles) in 1 hour, 4 minutes on the Bono bore of the Kampar river on 10-13 February 2013 (For details click our News: UK's Steve King breaks world record for longest, continuous bore ride on Riau's Kampar River)
Kampar is a long river that rushes down from the Bukit Barisan mountain range that forms the spine of the island of Sumatra along its west coast. The river then meanders through the Riau province, to finally pour out in the Malacca Straits, on the east coast of Sumatra. Along its long course the river dvides itself into two large branches known as the Kampar Kanan (the right branch of Kampar) and Kampar Kiri (its left branch). They then converge at Langgar in the district of Pelalawan at Kampar's estuary. Here they are joined by many other rivers causing Kampar to funnel out into a wide river mouth. At each high tide, high waves from the sea flow in and meet the down stream current of the Kampar. Where the two opposing energies meet, - and furthermore, caused by the funnel shape of the river, - Kampar's phenomenal tidal bores emerge, rushing deep inland reaching to over 60 km. upriver.
These tidal bores are known locally as "Bono", which rush in with loud roaring sound at a speed of 40 kilometers an hour. The surf on the river can rise as high as 4 to 6 meters, at times creating barrels, the darling of surfers.
Best site to surf by the village of Teluk Meranti, although there are other spots like Tanjung Sebayang, Tanjung Pungai, and Pulau Muda, all in the district of Pelalawan.
Although quite used to the phenomenon, local inhabitants are mostly scared when the Bono appears, which they believe are spirits of the Seven Ghosts. Many boats have sunk in this river when caught in the bore.
As Teluk Meranti has only recently started to receive tourists, there are no large hotels here as yet. There are homestays, rooms available at houses of locals that are rented out to visitors. Most popular is the "Mega Lestari" a Bed and Breakfast type of inn that has 8 rooms. It is clean but has no air-conditioning. Rooms have fans.
Across the road are small eateries where you can find Indonesian dishes, like fried rice, noodles, fried or barbecued fish or chicken, some vegetables and mineral water.
For more information and booking, check : www.bonosurf.com
To get to Teluk Meranti one must travel through Pekanbaru, capital of the province of Riau. As a busy business airport, Pekanbaru is served from most major cities in Indonesia, most often from Jakarta, Medan and Batam.
Internationally, Pekanbaru is served from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, by Air Asia. It takes some 4 to 7 hours by car from Pekanbaru north to Teluk Meranti. There are car rental companies in Pekanbaru.
The ride from Pekanbaru to Pangkalan Kerinci lasts 1.5 hours, then from here to Teluk Meranti takes another 4 hours. Alternatively you can take a speedboat from Pangkalan Kerinci to Pulau Muda or Teluk Meranti, which takes around 4.5 hours.
Whereas, when you travel from or through Singapore, the journey to Teluk Meranti is by sea through a rather arduous route. From Singapore's Ferry Terminal take a boat to Sekupang in Batam, then connect with a ferry to Tanjung Batu, in the Karimun islands, where you can find ferries to take you to Teluk Meranti.

Advisors' Biz Ties Fuel DOE's Nuke Reprocessing Policy
The Department of Energy - with strong backing from an outside advisory panel dominated by scientists with ties to the nuclear power industry - recently released a draft environmental impact statement that wholeheartedly endorsed stepped up reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel, which critics claim isn't needed and will raise the risk of nuclear proliferation. The statement, now open for public comment, flies in the face of a 2007 National Research Council (NRC) recommendation that called for scaling back the government's program, which has been dubbed the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) because it promotes the technology's use in the U.S. and abroad.
The 17-member NRC panel last October called for downsizing the program because "the technologies required for achieving GNEP's goals are too early in development to justify DOE's accelerated schedule for construction of commercial facilities that would use these technologies." The National Academies panel also found no economic justification for the project and no evidence that the nation's nuclear facilities will eventually need a second waste repository, whose elimination is one of stated goals of the DOE program. "There has been insufficient peer review of the program," the NRC report charged.
Yet the DOE's new draft EIS claims "all domestic programmatic alternatives (to nuclear fuel reprocessing) would require the development of additional geologic repository capacity, in excess of the statutory capacity limit for the proposed Yucca Mountain repository." The draft EIS also asserts that while recycling spent fuel would expose the public and workers to higher radiation doses than the existing program, it would still "be within established regulatory limits."
The GNEP has drawn strong support from the DOE's Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee (NEAC), 11 of whose 12 members spoke out in favor of the program at recent meetings. Seven members of the committee have close ties to the nuclear power industry, including Marvin Fertel of the Nuclear Energy Institute, the industry trade group; William Martin of Washington Policy and Analysis, which consults for the industry; and Michael Corradini of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who resigned from another DOE panel in late 2003 after Public Citizen questioned his ties to the Nuclear Energy Institute. Thomas Cochran of the Natural Resources Defense Council is the sole opponent to GNEP on the committee. "When you're a minority of one, it's tough to get any opposition [to GNEP] registered," he said.
The committee's make-up and its lack of balance flouts Office of Government Ethics guidance requiring agencies to screen scientists serving as technical advisers for conflicts of interest. It also ignores the spirit of a 2004 Government Accountability Office report blasting the DOE and other agencies for appointing constituency "representatives" to advisory committees that offer scientific advice. Science committees are supposed to hire "special government employees" without conflicts of interest. The DOE response to the GAO report was to change the designations of most of the members of NEAC from "representative" to "special government employees" without either making significant changes to the roster or seeking out independent advisers.
Consultants Helped Write BPA Safety Report
The Food and Drug Administration's determination that the chemical bisphenol-A is safe was based on a report largely written by the plastics industry, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported last week. This comes shortly after the same newspaper reported that the Center for Risk Science at the University of Michigan, which the chair of the FDA advisory committee looking into the health effects of BPA runs, received $5 million from a retired businessman who considers the chemical "perfectly safe." According to the story, the FDA draft assessment of BPA incorporated reviews of the chemical conducted by ICF Consulting, a firm working for the American Chemistry Council. The newspaper based its story on reports the consulting firm sent to the FDA between 2000 to 2007. The reports included reviews of government and industry studies on the effects of BPA on animal health. Neither the FDA nor ICF answered questions about the newspaper's report.
Industry's role in FDA's decision is already the subject of a congressional investigation. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce's subcommittee on Oversight and Investigation asked FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach to appear for an interview by committee staff to explain the agency's decision-making on BPA. In a letter to the commissioner, the committee also requested "all records of communication between FDA and ICF Consulting related to [the companies'] BPA work for the agency." The request asks the commissioner to submit the documents by this Wednesday.
CDC Advisors Axe Automatic Anthrax Vax
The Center for Disease Control's vaccine advisory committee, whose roster does not appear to have any financial conflicts of interest, according to a Center for Science in the Public Interest analysis, last week voted against vaccinating police, fire and rescue personnel for anthrax. "First-responder units may choose to offer their workers pre-event vaccination on a voluntary basis," the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said. But "the vaccination program should be carried out under the direction of a comprehensive occupational health and safety program."
The decision comes in the wake of Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Levitt declaring earlier this month that a "public health emergency" exists due to heightened risk of an anthrax attack. The declaration gave blanket product liability immunity to vaccine manufacturers and public and private officials who oversee the production or distribution of the anthrax vaccine. There are about 3 million first responders nationwide. HHS recently placed a $404 million order for 14.5 million doses of BioThrax, a vaccine manufactured by Emergent BioSolutions of Rockville, Md.
UK Scientists Blast Agency for Touting Biz Science
The United Kingdom-based Scientists for Global Responsibility, which promotes science that contributes to peace, social justice, and environmental sustainability, has taken aim at a new government document promoting the virtues of industry-funded science. There is "no reason why the way science is conducted, governed, or communicated by the private sector should be or be perceived to be any different from the public sector," claimed the British Department for Innovations, Universities, & Skills in "A Vision for Science and Society." SGR charged the report showed "a lack of understanding of the practice of science" and that "the public has good reason to put greater trust in scientists who can clearly demonstrate a greater level of independence." SGR's 950 members include Stephen J. Hawking, professor of mathematics at the University of Cambridge and author of A Brief History of Time and The Universe In A Nutshell.
Odds and Ends
The Wisconsin Medical Society�s new voluntary ethics policy calls on its 12,000 members to stop taking gifts from drug companies, and recuse themselves from formulary committees if they have ties to industry.... The National Institutes of Health reprimanded one of its scientists, Ned Feder, after he wrote to various publications suggesting that the agency require its grantees to publicly disclose money they earn from medical companies, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.... The Journal of the American Medical Association published an editorial last week supporting injured patients' right to sue drug manufacturers, which will be decided by the Supreme Court case Wyeth v. Levine.... Current spending and activity levels are nowhere near enough to achieve the necessary goals to establish carbon capture and storage technologies, the International Energy Agency said in a report last week.... New requirements for the nonprofit "990" federal tax form will require disclosure of a wide array of relationships, arrangements, and transactions involving conflicts of interest and independent decision-making by their governing bodies, the trade journal Mondaq recently reported....

Filter by media type:
The productions that Karl Ernst and Ursel Herrman have mounted at the Monnaie since 1982 remain engraved on the public's memory. With La Dispute they take on a new challenge – the first production of a new work. On this occasion, another first for Ursel Hermann who has joined forces with Joel Lauwers to draft the libretto, which takes its inspiration from Marivaux's work of the same name. As is his custom, Karl-Ernst is not only responsible for the direction but also for the sets, the costumes and the lighting of this production.
This is the first time you have worked on a contemporary first production. What made you want to set out on this new adventure?
That's true, we had never worked on a modern opera, but we were very keen to try it at least once in our lives. We didn't choose the Marivaux play; it was suggested by Benoît Mernier. We liked the idea and especially the thought of writing the libretto ourselves.
How did you work with Benoît Mernier? Did you already know his work as a composer?
We knew a little bit about his work. During the drafting of the libretto, the preparation, the composition, we worked together. We really collaborated closely. Now we are into the second phase during which we have to bring the opera to life. It's another stage in the development, as the conductor of the orchestra and the singers are added to the mix and we will see what is really feasible.
Marivaux's La Dispute is the basis of the opera but it is not the only...
First we all read Marivaux's play, and we all had the same feeling that, in spite of its attractive qualities, the work was too short and too thin to make an opera. We then read other texts by Marivaux and added them in. This was our material for the libretto: all Marivaux's existing texts. Of course, in the beginning we still didn't have the musical content. We, therefore, could write the libretto with no constraints, everything was possible. Whilst delving into the world of Marivaux we discovered certain works that were completely unknown. As we wanted to add depth to the characters of the Prince and Hermiane, we took bits from here and there to make them stronger. We weren't interested in re-writing using Marivaux's words, but we went looking in other plays for situations that fitted La Dispute. Marivaux's themes, in reality, are always the same. They are always about relationships between beings that love each other and tear each other apart or who no longer love each other and still tear each other apart.
How does this theme play out in La Dispute and how do you see it?
Marivaux is always asking the same question - whether we can trust our feelings or the feelings of others. Therefore he talks about the uncertainty of feelings of love, the complexity of relationships between lovers, the use of lies and the truth. In the drafting of the libretto we introduced two new characters, taken principally from La Réunion des amours, a little pearl of Marivaux's, in which the writer presents the God of Love divided into two characters, Eros and Cupid: the ideal of platonic love set against the lighter, more licentious love. By introducing these two new characters, as well as their original argument about the true nature of love, our argument is then conducted on three levels: that of the gods, that of human beings - in fact a couple of experienced lovers – and that of the youngsters. The experiment then is not only restricted to the youngsters but also touches the older couple who, in their turn, are also manipulated, moved around and watched by the gods. By separating the story into three levels of observation the feeling of being in a laboratory is more accentuated and it chimes with the fact that today people feel watched and scrutinised in their daily lives. This is where we see Marivaux at his most modern; we find this today amongst young people who use the social media to reveal themselves and open their hearts to everyone.
How did you visualise the world of the young people and the world of the mature couple?
The youngsters' world is very straightforward. The experiment consists of making these young people – who previously only knew each other and their tutors – learn everything that has to do with relationships differently, learn that everything stems from relationships. Everything that happens to them is new, there is always a first time. Love, friendship, hate, doubt – the world of emotions that was previously unknown to them opens up little by little. This is very different from what happens to Hermiane and the Prince who have already lived a whole life. They are already, in reality, at the end of their relationship, on the edge of a crisis, and they are wondering if they want it to go on or end. It is a completely different stage of life, a world away from that of the young people. Their reactions depend a lot on their motivation, their weariness. For them, the euphoria and certainty has worn off. The youngsters think they will always feel the same, whereas Hermiane and the Prince are not sure that feelings can endure. They know they are not eternal. So we have, on one side, the young people who believe that everything will last forever, that love will know no end, and, on the other side, the older couple who demonstrate that there is a limit to love, that it can be destroyed and that there is no such thing as forever.
Do you prepare a new, modern production in a totally different way from an opera from the repertoire? How did you tackle it?
The work is not so different from, for example, producing Don Giovanni. The time that passed between the birth of the libretto and the first introduction to the music was absolutely fascinating; given the number of working sessions we had with the composer.
Karl-Ernst Herrmann, as well as directing the opera, you are also responsible for the stage-set, the costumes and the lighting of this production. Would you say that opera is an art form in which it is impossible to separate the different disciplines?
Effectively, it is impossible to separate the different arts that make up opera, but on the other hand it is possible to have multiple artists involved. It is a question of working together. When several people are involved you need very close collaboration. The various artists need to get on well together. It can be risky when it comes to controlling the various elements that make up the opera. It is important not to separate the disciplines. Either the different spirits can work together or you do everything! It is probably easier to control the different aspects of an opera alone. Both methods have their advantages. The one method has the advantage of many eyes but then you have many opinions. It depends on the people. However the essence of opera is the fusion of the arts of which it consists. The objective is to have unity at the end. It's the same in music.
What are your main sources of inspiration?
Our inspiration is wide-ranging, whether it is from a film, a book, a particular event. For La Dispute, nature played a big part, to be more precise the conflict between nature and civilisation, and the journey of the young people from one to the other. Everything influences us! There is no absolute answer. Our main line of action always begins with the text and the music.

Out of the grittiness of the urban blues scene evolved the polished pop-soul sound of Motown.

By Ron Honberg, NAMI Director of Policy and Legal Affairs
There is no easy way of saying it. After more than four years of budget cutting in many states, the mental health safety net is seriously frayed. In total, more than $1.6 billion in general funds has been cut from state mental health budgets since 2009. When funds under the control of other state agencies such as housing and child and adolescent services or Medicaid are factored in, the sum of the total cuts is undoubtedly significantly higher.
South Carolina has cut its state mental health budget by the highest percentage, 39.3 percent since 2009, Alabama by 36 percent, Alaska by 32.6 percent, Illinois 31.7 percent and Nevada 28.1 percent. In terms of actual dollars, California has cut a staggering $764.8 million in state mental health funding during this time period, New York $204.9 million and Illinois $187 million.
When cuts of this magnitude occur, our entire society pays a huge price. In some states, both inpatient and community services have been sharply eroded; a penny wise, pound foolish strategy that does not save money at all and only ends up shifting higher costs to emergency rooms, jails and prisons, and homeless shelters. For example:
- In Illinois, three of the state's nine psychiatric hospitals are slated to close. 5,000 children and adults living with serious mental illnesses could be cut off from services.
- In Nevada, a state that has cut mental health funding by 28 percent since 2009, suicide rates are among the highest in the nation.
- In Michigan, a state among those hit hardest by the budget crisis, the Detroit-Wayne County Community Mental Health Agency has absorbed about $30 million in cuts since the fall of 2008, leading to the elimination of downsizing of mental health programs throughout Detroit, including those serving people who are homeless and living with mental illnesses.
Until 2011, Medicaid was largely spared from budget cuts because of federal stimulus funds. As these stimulus funds expired in June 2011, states are facing $14 billion in potential losses from federal Medicaid revenues. To respond, states such as Arizona and Ohio have begun to divert mental health dollars to Medicaid and away from uninsured individuals with serious mental illnesses who do not have Medicaid. Other states may follow suit.
NAMI's report contains three policy recommendations. First, mental health services should be protected and strengthened and mental health spending cuts should be restored. Second, data collection and outcomes measurement in determining the value and effectiveness of specific mental health services must be improved. Finally, access to acute care and long term care services must be preserved.
What You Can Do?
Now is the time to contact your Governor and state legislators and urge them to protect or restore funding for mental health services. NAMI has developed talking points and a sample letter for you to use in advocating for adequate mental health funding. This information can be found here.
All of the data, published in the report State Mental Health Cuts: The Continuing Crisis, including information about how your state is doing in funding mental health care, can be found at State Budget Cuts Report

So, you were at Woodstock? Ate mushrooms with Kesey, chanted with Ram Dass, wrote poetry naked with Ginsberg? I'm sure that was all mind-blowingly groovy, but I have news for you, Grandpa (and Grandma): reminiscing about the sixties now is like recalling Prohibition was when we were young. Cue wavering
voice: "Let me tell you, sonny, we got up to some crazy shenanigans in those speakeasies."
For those of you who are mathematically challenged, it's been forty whole years since 1969. As further illustration of how long ago that all was, check out these words coined in 1929, forty years before 1969, from the Online Etymology Dictionary: beep, jeepers, deep six. But terms brought to you by 1969 don't sound much more modern: doo-wop, singles bar, and ego trip.
The point: the sixties are ancient history and not of great interest to anyone who wasn't actually there. So too the seventies: we really don't need to know who did what to whom that night you went to Plato's Retreat (ewwww, you did?) or what you snorted with whom at Studio 54. Even the eighties, which I basically missed thanks to the joys of parenthood, are getting kind of antique.
Young people are allowed to have nostalgia for the decades and icons of their childhoods: early Madonna and late Kurt Cobain, leg warmers and flannel shirts. You can reminisce about where you were in Y2K.

Drive Misty For Me is a mission in Grand Theft Auto III given to protagonist Claude by Luigi Goterelli from Sex Club Seven bar in the Red Light District of Portland, Liberty City.
The mission begins with Claude dropping round at Sex Club Seven to find more work from Luigi. Luigi tells Claude about Joey Leone, who wants some 'action' from his favourite prostitute Misty. He tells Claude to go to her home in Hepburn Heights, before dropping her off at Joey's Garage in Trenton. Luigi informs Claude that this is his foot in the door, and to keep his eyes on the road and off Misty. Claude then picks up Misty from her home in Hepburn Heights and drives her to Joey's Garage, where Joey tells Claude to drop by later for more work.
Luigi Goterelli: Hey, I gotta talk to you... All right Mick, I'll talk to yah later. How yah doing kid. The Don's son Joey Leone wants some action from his regular girl Misty. Go pick her up in Hepburn Heights... but watch yourself that's Diablo turf. Then run her over to his garage in Trenton and make it quick, Joey ain't the kind you keep waiting, remember, this is your foot in the door... so keep your eyes on the road and off Misty!
(Claude drives to Misty's home)
Misty: You working regular for Luigi now huh? It's about time he got a driver we can trust!
(Claude drives Misty to Joey's Garage)
Misty: Joey... Am I going to get to play with your big end again?
Joey Leone: I'll be with you in a minute spark plug. Hey, I'm Joey. Luigi said you were reliable so come back, there might be some work for you. Alright?
The reward for completing the mission is $4,000. Completing the mission also unlocks The Crook for Marty Chonks, Pump-Action Pimp for Luigi Goterelli and Mike Lips Last Lunch for Joey Leone.

At long last I've replaced my moon map!
By Steve Sando
from Chandler Arizona
About Me Educator
I had lost my original Earth's Moon Wall Map quite a few years ago. It was great to see you still provided a way to replace it. You should do this for all the maps you've produced. The updates on the Apollo Missions on the map were a nice surprise! But, for members like me who take pride in the integrity of their collection...providing "original content" maps would be nice too!!!

Call of Duty: Black Ops (Xbox 360) review
"So there are a lot of explosions and people cuss a lot, sometimes a few times per line of dialogue, and then when the tone is properly established there's not really much profanity at all and the explosions don't really impress as much because when you've seen one Jeep go up in flames, you've seen 'em all. It's at that moment, when you've become desensitized to the napalm and the knife thrusts and the pistol blasts, that you realize something: Black Ops isn't a particularly competent single-player shooter."

Iowa State named their stadium after this guy:
I really hate Texas, but then occasionally the fans will throw a wrench in it and make me respect them a little. I hate it that feeling.
yeah, Al is doing a good job, but he should mention how perfect it would be if carter lake could build a toll road going to eppley and make all the omaha cars pay toll, and let iowa cars through for free- now that omaha is taxing employees from iowa that commute into omaha. ...that would be perfect.
back on track- It was very nice that someone shared this story with them, I was getting sick of reading their realignment threads/independent threads, which were constantly talking about chucking us to the curb. I had a chuckle with them giving us the "horns up" salute. Bravo, shag, bravo.
Lot's of complimentary comments from the horns, thanks for posting! I hope they bring up some real TX fans this weekend from that state as I have heard good things about the the majority of crowds and fans at DKR in Austin.
It seems to be the Horns from around here in the upper midwest that are the ones I can't stand... hope they don't make it, but not holding my breath!
Great to see. Nothing but respect for the posters in that forum.

Some nice stuff there from the fightin' bevos. Very good things to say about a tremendous figure in ISU history.
All the stories I have heard about Trice up in Minnesota too, I have heard this one as well but wanted to ask if anyone heard it differently. It wasn't ISU who made Trice "not stay" at the hotel, it was U of M admins that didn't want whites and blacks in the same building?
Also, for lunch, the U of M again made Jack eat his meal in a different building? ISU was against that treatment.
Regardless, it is great that ISU honors him and it is always great to see his name on the stadium. The "I WILL" mentality will continue for all times with ISU sports! Heck, I feel our team under CPR plays with this mentality too.
Go Cyclones!

Got me thinking. Are there any surviving members of Trice's family. If there are do they know how he is honored?
I've been reading this the last couple of days, have to say im impressed with it.

How can anyone not give respect to Jack Trice and Iowa State after reading about him? Sadly, I bet a ton of current ISU students, fans and just plain ol' residents of the state of iowa (read: tavernsquawks) are clueless about who he is and what he did.
And I don't get the hostility towards UT either. Yes they are big, wealthy and powerful. If we had those opportunities/resources, don't think for a second we wouldn't take advantage of them to the fullest.
check the we will beat ISU thread...
I never had a problem with Texas or their fans. Seems like they are as classy as any, though every fan base has their share of knuckleheads.
Ah, maybe you guys can kiss and hug before the game Saturday. :D

yep. He's got a grandson (or something, a grand nephew, I'll have to check with my friend who knows him) that was given a full-ride scholorship to ISU simply for having the last name Trice. ISU tracked him down to make sure he knew and offered him an education.

There are. One of them was actually attending ISU at the same time as me in the late '90s/early '00s.

If you remember making friendship bracelets and passing them out to all your friends on the playground, then you will love this blog hop. All the projects on the hop are inspired by friendship bracelets, '80s stylin', and most importantly, friendship itself. Check out some of the projects that have already been posted by some of the blog-hoppers:
By Melinda of Quirky Granola Girl
By JanuaryT of Sew Sew Go
By Whitney of The Peacock Tree
Such a great concept, right? I hadn't thought of it before, but friendship bracelets really are an amazing source of design inspiration for quilting. Diane's got a link to a source for thousands of friendship bracelet designs that could come in very handy for quilters. So head over to Diane's blog right now for all of that and more!
The blog hop runs for two more weeks, and then you'll get a chance to link up your own "friendship project"—any project for someone that is important to you. There are TONS of prizes for those who link up! And guess who gets to decide some of the winners of those prizes? That's right—it's me! Faith of Fresh Lemons Quilts, Megan of Canoe Ridge Creations, and I are judges. Thank you, Diane, for asking me to participate!
Plus, everybody is sharing goofy '80s pictures of themselves as part of the blog hop—and that might even include us judges. That's reason enough to follow along, right? Radical!

Rock and Roll Night School starts its third year by taking a look at the lives and the music of the 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees. This exciting and diverse group of inductees includes a groundbreaking girl group - The Ronettes, a classic hard rock band - Van Halen, Punk rock's poet laureate - Patti Smith, hip-hop originators - Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and alternative rockers - R.E.M.
This month's Rock and Roll Night School was presented in conjunction with the Museum's Black History Month celebration of Reggae.
This month the Rock and Roll Night School looks at the end of the 1950s by examining rock and roll's move into pop. It was a time after the music of the early rock and roll architects and before the sounds of the 1960s, and artists such as Neil Sedaka, Paul Anka, and Bobby Darin filled it with pop hits galore.
The early 1960s saw the formation of numerous "girl groups," who topped the charts in the years before the British Invasion. With songs written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, Ellie Greenwich and Jeff Barry, and Gene Pitney, and production by Phil Spector it was no surprise that these groups revived the energy of early rock and roll. This class will examine recordings from The Shirelles, The Ronettes, The Chiffons, The Crystals, The Dixie Cups, and the Shangri-Las.
The Doors are often seen as one of the most influential and most controversial bands of the 1960s. Hailing from LA, they mixed aspects of the blues, jazz, and eastern music, and wrapped it all together in the psychedelic spirit of the 1960s counterculture. This month we will examine the career of the Doors and listen to some of their biggest hits, along with special guest speaker Jim Henke, the Vice President of Exhibitions and Curatorial at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The program was presented in conjunction with the Summer Teacher Institute, entitled "Electrifying Your Classroom" and the special exhibit Catch a Wave: The Beach Boys, the Early Years.
An Evening with Lou Adler, co-founder and organizer of the Monterey International Pop Festival. On the evening of the exhibit opening, festival co-founder and organizer Lou Adler will have a conversation with Dr. Warren Zanes in the Museum's 4th Floor Theater beginning at 7 p.m. Adler will take questions from the audience and will sign memorabilia including Monterey International Pop Festival-related DVDs and CDs.
More than any other group from the early 1960s, the Beach Boys created the iconic image of California as a Promised Land for those who would revel in youth, surf, sand, and rock and roll. This month we will examine the early career of the Beach Boys from their first single "Surfin" released on Candix Records to some of their biggest hits on Capitol Records including "Surfin' U.S.A.," "Fun, Fun, Fun," and "Catch A Wave." This event is presented in conjunction with the special exhibit Catch a Wave: The Beach Boys, the Early Years.
Even though the Beach Boys made the surf rock sound famous around the world, there were many other bands that recorded in the style. This month's Rock and Roll Night School digs deeper into sounds, artists, and songs of surf rock - from the blazin' guitar instrumentals of Dick Dale and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Duane Eddy to the vocal harmonies of Jan and Dean. We will also listen to some classic tunes such as the The Surfaris' "Wipe Out" and The Chantays' "Pipeline." Surf's up dudes, so grab your boards and join us!
The Life and Music of Jerry Lee Lewis This month's Rock and Roll Night School explores the life and music of the 2007 American Music Master honoree, Jerry Lee Lewis. Lewis helped to create the archetype of the rock and roll rebel artist with his mix of musical acumen and unbridled energy. His voice projects an urgent yet polished rhythm and his live-in-the-moment, piano-pounding, bench-kicking stage presence has forever left its mark on rock and roll history. We will listen to and discuss music from his early career recordings on Sun records including "Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On," "Great Balls of Fire," "High School Confidential," and more.

City of Wilmington Welcomes Officer Justin Wilkers on His Return to Active Duty
Posted on 08/15/2013 4:04 pm
The Wilmington Department of Police celebrated Officer Justin Wilkers return to active street duty with a private ceremony at the William T. McLaughlin Public Safety Building.
Six months and ten days after sustaining a gunshot wound to the face during a routine traffic stop, Officer Wilkers sat with fellow officers from his shift in full uniform, ready to start a tour of duty. Mayor Dennis P. Williams and Chief Christine R. Dunning offered comments to the crowd of police officers and family members who assembled in the multipurpose room at Wilmington Police Headquarters.
"I am glad that Officer Justin Wilkers is back and that he is 100%," said Mayor Williams. "Officer Wilkers' return is a testament to his strength, courage and commitment to the protecting and serving the City of Wilmington."
Chief Dunning expressed relief that Officer Wilkers had returned to duty, "On that terrible day, he displayed tremendous sheer will and determination as he fought to survive. He has continued to show that determination and dedication in his remarkable return to duty in such a short period of time. We applaud the commitment, courage, and perseverance exemplified by Officer Justin Wilkers on that day and throughout his recuperation."
Officer Wilkers, his partner Corporal Kevin Murphy, and Master Corporal Brian Witte received commendations for their actions on the day following Officer Wilkers being shot. Officer Wilkers' shift, "E" Platoon, also received a distinguished unit citation for their actions.
Through the Department, Officer Wilkers expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of public support, "It is incredible to know that there are so many people who kept my family and I in their thoughts and prayers. We truly thank you. I look forward to returning to work and doing the job I signed up for: serving the City of Wilmington as a police officer."

Central American Tourism Council (CCT)
23-24 June 2011 The Ministers of Tourism of the Central American region and their representatives, gathered in Roatan, Honduras on the 23rd and 24th of June of 2011., in occasion of the First Workshop on Sustainable Tourism, held with the participation of representatives from the international community, international organizations, the World Tourism Organization, distinguished members of the diplomatic corps, main localauthorities,and theprivate sector,
CONCLUDE THAT: 1. Tourism in Central America continues to be a fundamental pillar of the Central American integration, and an engine of economic and social development, given its significant contribution in terms of Employment, income and currency, thus contributing to reach the millennium goals and poverty eradication in Central America. 2.It is necessary to stress out the important role played by the United Nations, through its resolutions, in the attainment of policies oriented to sustainable tourism, social ethics on tourism, and ecosystem and environment protection, as an essential basis to develop sustainable tourism in harmony with nature; and to emphasize the commendable work of the United Nations system in the tourism sector, under the direction of the World Tourism Organization and its General Secretary.
It is necessary to strengthen this industry under sustainability policies and practices that ensure social and economic benefits, and lesser negative impacts on the environment and on the natural and cultural heritage of countries, both individually, and as a region. 4. Attention to the issue of sustainability requires of action and mutual commitment from the part of public and private actors, as well as integrated measures at a regional level, as a means to obtain the best results. 5. The difficulties we are facing in the light of climate change, pose an obligation for us towards taking immediate actions, both preventive as responsive, in order to minimize its impact and damages on natural resources, which are part of the tourism attractions and products promoted by our countries. Wherefore, WE RECOMMEND: 1. To highlight the importance of natural resources and environment biodiversity, its fragility and vulnerability, iequiring the proper conservation, preservation, and continuous improvement of this patrimony, a relevant value for Central American tourism. To this end, we exhort the international community to continue and strengthen its firm support to sustainable tourism, with policies oriented towards education and to the protection of tourism areas that are mostly exposed, by developing cooperation mechanisms to recuperate natural resources at risk. Participation of the civil society in this regard is essential. 2. To reiterate, as a national priority, the efforts of various entities in the area of sustainable tourism, which make it necessary to strengthen mechanisms to adopt and implement policies and measures on this topic, including the regional criteria on tourism sustainability, designed and approved among the private and public sectors at a regional level. 3. To recognize the imperative need to address the issue of climate change, given its significant repercussion on tourism, in order to guarantee a satisfactory management and enjoyment of natural and cultural resources in the region. 4. To exhort the Ministries of Environment of Central America, gathered in the Central American Environment and Development Commission (CCAD) of SICA, to unify, agree on, and strengthen efforts, actions and programs aimed at promoting sustainable tourism, and to channel measures that will offset the effects of climate change, within the pertaining regional strategy. 5. To call upon the United Nations to strengthen inter-institutional cooperation for the tourism sector in its action and development programs, as a contributing instrument for the eradication of poverty and the protection of the environment, by linking tourism strategies to the agenda of Rio+20. 6.

Shining Down
I made a video to this song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r78y-ypkuE But I need Lupe's permission! This is how I see the song. This music video goes out to all the soldiers who fight for us and others.
you got my vote on this song. its catchy and gets somones attention when the song starts playing two thumbs up
I Love You . Yeahh Your The First And Probably Only Artist I Bout An Album From Because You Amazing..
I always download music online (illegally) and never in my life have i bought a song or even album until today i went out and bought LASERS!! So that shows that i think your a really cool artist and your songs have deep and meaningful messages thats why your dope and thats why i went out & bought your album today homeboy!!!
so i bought lasers and i like the cd but i'm a little disappointed that i'm beaming and shining down wasn't on the cd. so can you put out a special edition with some these tracks and maybe some more
I love you Lupe. Your the best. Your my second favorite artist, sorry but Pac has always been number one. I really appreciate you and your music. And one day we will all live in peace, I know your strong Lupe. And don't ever give up. = )
So if this song and I'm Beamin aint on LASERS how am I supposed to buy em legally? Can't use iTunes cuz I don't have a credit card
Lupe, You are the only rapper in the game that is staying real, always say the truth and always say what you feel. You are an inspiration to everyone and i love every single song that you have. I cannot wait for lasers. Keep doing you and never stop
Lupe you are the realest rapper in the game, all these other fake rappers talk about the same stuff over and over again; money, drugs, sex, violence, they need to talk about stuff that actually has purpose like you do and B.o.B. My friend always tryd to get me to listen to your music and i was stuck on those fake rappers like weezy and gucci, but after listening to your music i hate the others. Stay true LUPE!!!!!!!!!
Lupe, THIS IS TRUTH. I have had favorite artists before but none who touch the soul and speak truth regardless of what "they" all do... I was a huge Pac and Wayne fan forever, and still am. I used to spin their shit and every gig but after finding you, the dude who cleared my view, they seem like shadows of a desirable past, or failed attempt like good conscience that just came and went. "THIS IS THE ARTIST I HAVE WAITED FOR MY WHOLE LIFE" Is what i said. The one who is gonna change the way people think and bring back feeling and love to making ALL KINDS OF music. Build the future with the gift you have, and keep given all of us the ONE VOICE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AS TRUTH... The ONE artist that has the ducks lined up no matter what they try and cover up.. you are the best, Never stop, US FANS WILL BE YOUR VEST. thats whats up Sincerely, ME.. US -Lupe, never change what you came here to do.. your an inspiration to a lot of people and thats the truth, now get back to the booth and let loose
lyrical genius, describes this man. intelligent, driven and aware of humanity problems across the globe. excited for lasers!
Wow... This should have definitely been on the original tracklist. I hope it is atleast on the bonus tracklist.
Well..so much for it being on the original tracklist. This better be a bonus track, but still....IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE ORIGINAL LASERS TRACKLIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy how this song's been on my Zune for almost a year prior to the March release! Hope the masses appreciate Lu's music as much and give this man his just due! Don't think he really cares which is even more humbling!
This song better be on Lasers! It is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life, and possibly my favorite Lupe Fiasco track. A song this epic NEEDS to be on Lasers.
I reaaaaaaaaaaaally hope this Song end up on the final release of Lasers ..... this track set OFF the hype for Lasers and set ALL the controversy out in the open. To bad no music video was made, oh well The Show Goes On i guess.
I'm really hoping this still appears on Lasers (as well as scream, state run radio and all the others I have been watching on youtube) I love the live instrumental producing he is using and his lyrics have never been more influential.
WELL IM NOT HAVIN IT NOOOOOOOOOO. This song is the start of Lupe's new revolution he comes with the hardest and most grown up sense of perspective yet its not tainted and retains its child like views some times. He is a pioneer and doesn't even have to try. Ill be happy when he can drop his album so i don't have to keep hearing "teach me how to Dougie" a thousand times on the radio. - Dravon White
Damn...Lupe is a GENIUS...how does he put together these lyrics so perfect....hes a beast on any beat!!!

Do you agree with Sherry's advice? Read her answer; then scroll down to post your own take in the comments.
I'm 44 and have never had a serious relationship. Guess you could call me the queen of short-term romances. If a man says the word "love" I break into a cold sweat. My parents had a rocky marriage, and I spent my life pouring myself into a successful career and pitying friends who went into the marriage and motherhood racket. But I'm starting to wonder what is wrong with this picture. Any suggestions? — Amy
A. Not liking the picture to which you keep tuning in is the first step to changing the channel. Now let's begin to clear up that static: According to self-esteem coach Debra Gano, "Fear of intimacy with others is truly a fear of intimacy with oneself." Gano, executive director of the Heartlight Girls Project (selfesteemforgirls.com), continues, "Somewhere along her path this woman closed down her heart — most likely due to childhood issues — not only to others, but primarily to herself."
Kate Basten, 42 and never married, agrees, "My mother divorced three times before I was 12. I never really knew my dad. My dating MO has been [that of] 'man hopper.' It's not unusual for me to date (this doesn't mean sleep with!) three guys in one weekend. I'm afraid of being alone, but also afraid to really make myself vulnerable to someone." The San Francisco marketing executive sighs and admits, "On the rare occasions I do like a guy, I get scared and do something alienating so he'll stop calling."
Jenny Lowenstein, a 42-year-old New York publicist who has lived a similar scenario, points out, "This dynamic is not unusual in someone with abandonment issues. The fear of loss or not succeeding in a relationship overpowers the positive aspects of having one. The word 'love' embodies something she doesn't believe in."
The elaborate defense structure you've created over the years to keep yourself emotionally tucked away is uber sturdy. Congrats. Unfortunately, the side effect has been an insular life. In It Happened One Night, Clark Gable separates the twin beds in the motel room he's forced to share with Claudette Colbert by stringing up a clothesline and draping a blanket over it. The "Walls of Jericho," seemingly flimsy, are impenetrable until the end of the movie after the pair wed and Gable, like Joshua, blows a trumpet to topple them.
Sans trumpet, how can you topple your walls? Rather than looking to external things such as superficial dating and career immersion, Gano suggests "making a commitment to yourself to reconnect with the part of you that has been ignored and is crying for love and attention."
This involves taking a step back to ultimately move forward. Put a moratorium on dating, while focusing a bit less on career. Perhaps with the help of a therapist, examine the limiting beliefs you've developed about yourself and intimacy. These beliefs protected you during childhood but like baby teeth and training wheels, they've outlived their usefulness and are best left on the cutting room floor.

I've got a Time Machine backup from an old machine.
I don't want to over-write all the content from the backup, I'd just like to retrieve a couple of applications that were on my old machine - TextMate and Microsoft Word.
Is it possible to retrieve those applications singly, without over-writing all the content on my new machine?
Thanks for your help.

IMF Signs €4 Billion Borrowing Agreement with SpainPress Release No. 09/352
October 5, 2009
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Spain have signed an agreement to provide the Fund with up to €4.14 billion (about US$6 billion). The agreement, which is valid for up to four years, is part of a commitment made by the European Union in March 2009 to contribute up to €75 billion (then equal to about US$100 billion) to support the IMF's lending capacity (See Press Release No. 09/82). The European Union has since committed an additional €50 billion (about US$73 billion) to the Fund's expanded New Arrangements to Borrow (see Press Release No. 09/298).
The signing of the agreement with Spain means the Fund can now add these resources to those already available through borrowing agreements signed with other members. These agreements contribute toward an increase in Fund resources that was requested in April 2009 by G-20 leaders and the International Monetary and Financial Committee in order to provide timely and effective balance of payments assistance to its members in the current crisis.

Space is a hot commodity during the Sundance Film Festival. Consumed by throngs of visitors, Park City's streets, restaurants, hotels and cell towers are maxed out, severely limiting the room to roam freely. Yet contrary to the norm of hi-tech displays and disposable amenities, one Sundance exhibit is reclaiming a minimal approach to the highly publicized festival.
In a relatively low-key opening on Jan. 16, the Space exhibit debuted with no wait lines in an unassuming storefront. On display: a pop-up gallery of fine art photographs meant to instill the philosophy that less is more.

Featuring 10 contemporary photographers with worldwide claim, including part-time Park City resident and former Park City Mountain Resort terrain park director Jim Mangan, each artist has captured their own variation of space: whether it's a fleeting moonrise that glows above an empty sea, or the solace of a lone house against a stark, grey sky. "Everyone's caught something in the moment," Mangan said. "It's about showing how people connect to the outdoors and nature."
And that's especially potent given our obsessive relationship with iCameras and the instagramification of images. "Most of what we all photograph is our own environment, what we surround ourselves with," said Ken Miller, curator of the Space exhibit. Whether shot by a phone-wielding citizen or a fine art photographer, "it either comes down to [taking a photo of] a person or a landscape."

You'll see that in one of Mangan's abstract landscape photos, shot above the Great Salt Lake. "The idea was to make the photo appear like it was painted" and full of texture, said Mangan. "It makes you step away from it all," forcing you to put down technology and create a new understand—a new beginning—from something that's stark and spacious.
Look around further, and you'll discover that nature—particularly in the West—is inherently filled with the kind of space that these artists showcase. "American West 'folklore' is all about space," said Miller. "In the history of photography, a lot of American photos were shot in the West. Look at Ansel Adams. He was the pioneer of capturing spaces in the West."
So of all the places out West, why choose Park City? "It's a small town, and you're shoving all these creative people in a small space," said Miller. "Sundance Film Festival people are visual people. This seems like a receptive audience.

The Space exhibit is on display Jan. 16–Feb. 15 at 625 Main Street, Park City, Utah.
