by Ari Richman, Sun Devil Media Relations Summer Intern
It's your senior year in college.
Do you kick back, relax and enjoy your last year?
Do you panic in search of a job?
Or do you take it all on: helping your team reach a 66-5 record, winning their first NCAA National Championship, and receiving the Pac-10 scholar-athlete of the year award?
Sun Devil softball outfielder Jackie Vasquez (B.A.E. Special Education, 2008) chose the last option.
SPOILER ALERT: Vasquez successfully achieves all three of these goals.
Although Vasquez completed her stellar senior year of 2007-08 with a NCAA title, the Special Education major "was very fortunate to have part of my graduate education paid for by the Pac-10 because of my post-graduate scholarship."
She went on to University of Missouri for graduate school, and graduated this past May with a Masters degree in Education.
Looking back on college at Arizona State today, Vasquez wouldn't change a thing.
Being a Sun Devil student-athlete "prepared me by improving my skills of time management. I had to be at weights at 6 a.m., class at 8 a.m., practice at 2 p.m., home work at 7 p.m. and somewhere in between you had to sleep, eat and have a social life," says Vasquez, a graduate of Catalina Foothills.
In addition, the pressures and deadlines she encountered as a student-athlete become second nature, making it much easier to handle them in her current job. Jackie also noted that "having been a successful student-athlete has given me the confidence to walk into job interviews knowing I have the dedication and desire to any job put in front of me. I also believe that employers look at my resume and see the fact that I was a student-athlete and succeed both on the field and in the classroom...this shows them that I can handle a lot of pressure, time manager, be a leader and a team player."
Vasquez credits her Sun Devil experience with helping to build her capabilities and character on and off the field. "The high expectations and demands made me the person I am today."
While enrolled at ASU, Vasquez foresaw teaching as her career. In her current role, she's not a teacher but she utilizes her teaching skills as a trainer. Just as she wouldn't change anything about her college experience, she certainly wouldn't change anything about her job with Gabriel's Angels. (http://www.gabrielsangels.org/)
After starting out as a volunteer in the organization, where she helped in a domestic abuse shelter and worked with the kids who had to leave their homes because of an unsafe environment, the former Arizona State softball star has moved into a larger role with the organization.
Today, Vasquez is the Southern Arizona Volunteer manager for this Phoenix-based non-profit organization. Gabriel's Angels serves 13,000 abused, neglected and at-risk children in Arizona through the application of innovative pet therapy. The program's goal is to increase the overall sense of well-being and happiness for children in a safe environment, and to build critical core behaviors among these children, such as trust, empathy, respect, tolerance and self-esteem.
Gabriel's Angels has nearly 150 registered volunteer Therapy Teams and 40 Helping Hands delivering pet therapy to over 100 agencies. All services are free of charge to the agency and the children. The therapy assisted activities are provided by the Pet Therapy Team, typically consisting of a companion dog and his/her owner. Gabriel's Angels believes that the bond between a therapy dog and a child is strong enough to break the cycle of violence.
As the Southern Arizona Volunteer Manager, Vasquez's responsibilities are to train and recruit volunteers who actively serve in Arizona crisis nurseries, domestic violence and homeless shelters, group homes, residential treatment programs, and targeted school programs.
Confucius's quote "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life" fully describes Vasquez's job today.
"I honestly feel like I have a DREAM JOB because I get to make a direct impact on the kids of Arizona while getting to work with awesome volunteers and dogs."
Helping children runs in her family, as her greatest inspiration in college had similar aspirations: her mom. Jackie's mom had a dream to go to school and work with kids. However, she gave it all up to be a mom. Her mom showed an endless amount of support for Jackie, and Jackie saw her role with Gabriel's Angels as a way "to fulfill her (mom's) dream of graduating college and helping kids." She will continue to pursue their common dream in the future. Vasquez wants to continue to make a huge impact on her community to give kids a fighting chance to have the opportunity to be anything they want to be.
Another inspirational figure for Vasquez at Arizona State was Karl Kuehl, the team's mental coach during her senior year. "He put life into perspective and taught me as soon as I let go of the small things, big things would happen. I took that advice to heart and had the best season of my career and was an All-American. Not knowing at the time that Karl was dying of cancer... it really makes you look at life differently."
Outside of work, the retired softball outfielder has taken up running and ran her first full marathon this past December. She is currently training to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 2015. Even though she no longer plays softball competitively, Vasquez gives lessons and host camps. "This way I can give back to young girls and get that softball fix when I start to miss it."
A 2008 Arizona State graduate, a member of the 2008 Arizona State softball national championship team, the 2008 Pac-10 softball Scholar-Athlete of the year, current Southern Arizona Volunteer Manager for Gabriel's Angels, and aspiring Boston Marathon runner. Giving back while moving forward.
This is Sun Devil and NCAA champion. Jackie Vasquez.

Storm Thorgerson, arguably best known as the designer of Pink Floyd's album cover for Dark Side of the Moon, died Thursday, April 18, 2013, after a battle with cancer. He was both a close friend to the band and integral to their artistic vision. The Library and Archives has two compendiums of his career, which lasted from the 1960s well into 2012. The first, Mind Over Matter : the Images of Pink Floyd, concentrates on his breakthrough work with the influential rock band and 1996 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. The second is a lavish, limited edition set by Genesis Publications called Taken by Storm : the Album Art of Storm Thorgerson (pictured below), which features a 203-page book edited by Thorgerson himself, as well as full-color prints, a bonus retrospective book on SunStorm Studios and a 3-D Viewmaster of cover images.
The Library and Archives also holds several album cover collections edited and compiled by Thorgerson:
Classic album Covers of the 60s / compiled and written by Storm Thorgerson
Album Cover Album / edited by Storm Thorgerson & Roger Dean
Album Cover Album : the Second Volume / edited by Storm Thorgerson, Roger Dean & David Howells

Howard Smith was a man both on the scene and of the scene in late-1960s New York. As a photographer, columnist and broadcaster, Smith immersed himself in the emerging subculture of music and art while maintaining a keen journalist's eye on the revolution happening around him. The interviews that comprise the set, The Smith Tapes 1969-1972, recently acquired by the Library and Archives, are raw, unedited recordings with those at the forefront of the hippie subculture as well as the era's rock superstars, including John Lennon, Abbie Hoffman, Lou Reed, the authors of Hair, and Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper talking about their new film Easy Rider.
Within this compelling collection there are some true gems. A USB flash drive – cleverly housed in a replica audio cassette with faux-stained labels – contains a collection of reports from the Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, where Smith describes both the serenity of the fans and the struggle of organizers amidst the rain and near-overwhelming crowds. On one of the final discs in the collection is a brief phone interview with Janis Joplin who, when questioned about the burgeoning women's liberation movement, initially dismisses it but encourages women not to settle ...
I'm a native Clevelander, and have always been a keen record shopper. I bought my first record with my own money, Lulu's "To Sir, With Love," at the Disc record store in Severance Center mall, across from the cinema where my Mom and I had just seen the movie starring Sidney Poitier. As a kid I shopped 'em all: Record Revolution and the Record Exchange on Coventry Road in Cleveland Heights; Tommy Edward's Record Heaven in the Memphis-Fulton Shopping Center in Cleveland and the venerable Record Rendezvous in downtown Cleveland, among others.
When I moved to New York City in the late Seventies, my record jones sent me out on regular excursions around Greenwich Village, both east and west. Sounds on St. Mark's Place was my East Village haunt, while Bleeker Bob's, closer to the West Side, was a little more out of the way. It took awhile for me to warm up to Bleeker's – or rather – for the store to warm up to me. I experienced my own ...
On April 18, 2013, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame officially ushers the 2013 class of inductees into the Hall of Fame during the 28th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. The class – Lou Adler, Heart, Quincy Jones, Albert King, Randy Newman, Public Enemy, Rush and Donna Summer – are represented in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland's newest exhibit. In the series of clips below, get a behind the scenes look at the 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees exhibit. Visit the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to see the new exhibit!
"See, if I were to write Billy Joel's 'Just The Way You Are,' I'd wreck it," he said, explaining why his instincts run contrary to pop music. "I'd have written 'I love you just the way you are, you stupid little bitch.' Which really isn't as good."
Of course, he's joking. But he's also serious. And it's that's precise blend of humor and gravity that has distinguished the songs of Randy Newman from the start. He's both one of the most hilarious and most serious of all songwriters. A compositional genius, he's the only great American songwriter to become an accomplished film composer (with some 26 films to date, each with a fully orchestral score he wrote and conducted himself). But he's also a lyrical genius who has done more than created a style; he's created his own school of songwriting.
Newman's songs use the novelistic technique of the untrustworthy narrator, a sometimes funny, often dark, always effective way of shaping a song.
Asked why he chose this indirect method of songwriting, he said: "Maybe it's a psychological defect. I don't want to stand up ...
The consistency with which John Mayer combines word craft and melody has earned him rarefied status as a respected songwriter and musician. As one of few musicians to achieve both critical acclaim and popular appeal, the seven-time Grammy Award winner has earned accolades for each album release while selling more than 17 million albums worldwide.
Known as a musician who defies genre boundaries, Mayer is well known for collaborations with a range of artists. From rock to blues, hip-hop to jazz to country, Mayer has performed and/or recorded with Hall of Fame inductees Eric Clapton, BB King and Buddy Guy, as well as T-Bone Burnett, Herbie Hancock, Dixie Chicks, Jay Z and Alicia Keys.
On April 18, 2013, John Mayer will induct legendary blues man Albert King into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 28th Annual Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Mayer will also perform a tribute to Albert King with Gary Clark Jr.
In this interview with John Mayer, the musician reflects on the lasting influence of Albert King, including how King's music first resonated with him and why King belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Rock Hall: What's your ...
2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Rev Run of Run-DMC recently visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, where he sat down with the Rock Hall to discuss what it was like to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and his impressions of 2013 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Public Enemy.
Public Enemy will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 18, 2013, in Los Angeles. The 2013 Hall of Fame inductee exhibit opens at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, on April 16, 2013!
In the history of rock and roll, Muddy Waters represented the tide that brought the Southern blues traditions to the north and amplified them. Along the way, he inspired the name of among the biggest rock and roll bands of all time – the Rolling Stones – and countless other artists who emerged in his wake.
Muddy Waters was born McKinley Morganfield on April 4, 1913, in Issaquena County, Mississippi. Following his mother's death in 1918, McKinley, the son of a farmer, was raised by his grandmother who lovingly gave him the nickname "Muddy" after his fondness for fishing and playing in a muddy creek. Being a pioneer of the Delta blues, Waters eventually took his talents on the road and landed at Chess Records in Chicago, Illinois. Many of the songs that Waters recorded have become blues landmarks, including "Honey Bee," "(I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man," "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" and "Got My Mojo Working."
In the Sixties, Waters played a large role in the blues revival that took American blues "across the pond." A youthful group of Brits who formed a band in 1962 – Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Ian Stewart and ...

FERPA Privacy Policy for 2011-2012
(While gender-neutral language is employed in this statement whenever possible, "she or "her" occasionally appear. They are used to avoid awkward locutions and are not intended to perpetuate gender stereotypes.)
(a) General.
The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is federal legislation that establishes guidelines governing the way educational institutions maintain and supervise student records. The Act requires the College to notify parents and students annually how it complies with the Act's requirements. The Act is intended to assure a student that he or she can:
1. Inspect and review her educational records
2. Request an amendment to her education records
3. Participate in a hearing if the request for an amendment is unsatisfactory.
4. Request that Centenary College does not disclose directory information about him or her.
5. File a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education.
The Act permits the release of records without the prior consent of the student to appropriate College personnel and to parents of a student who have established the student's status as a dependent. There are also other circumstances as set forth in the Act in which student information would be disclosed without the student's prior consent. A student who wishes to allow another person access to her records should complete a 'FERPA Waiver' in the Office of the Vice President for Student Engagement. The Waiver will be in effect for the duration of a student's study at Centenary or until permission to disclose is revoked in writing by the student. A parent wishing access to student records should have their son or daughter complete the 'FERPA Waiver.'
(b) Records Covered.
"Educational records" of a student include records, files, documents, and other materials regularly maintained by the College that contain information directly related to a student and that are maintained in connection with the student's attendance at the College.
There are a number of types of records that are specifically excluded from the scope of the Act. For example, a student is not entitled to examine the following:
1. Records maintained personally by faculty members that are not available to others.
2. Records maintained by Campus Safety that are not available to others outside that department.
3. Records that are created or maintained by a physician, psychologist, or other recognized professional or paraprofessional that are created, maintained, or used only in connection with the provision of treatment to the student and are not available to anyone other than persons providing such treatment. Thus, for example, a student does not have the right under FERPA to inspect records maintained by the College Health Service or the Counseling Center. Such records, however, can be personally reviewed by a physician or other appropriate professional of the student's choice, and a student may have a right to inspect such records under other laws.
4. Records, such as those that might be maintained by the College's legal counsel, the confidentiality of which is protected by law.
5. Records containing financial information about her parents, such as information submitted in connection with an application for financial aid.
(a) Procedure.
A student may obtain access to her education records by making application to the Office of the Registrar. The College is required to grant the request within 45 days. The Registrar will forward copies of the student's request to the appropriate offices holding the requested files. These offices will contact the student and invite her to inspect them at either the Parsippany or Hackettstown campus.
(b) Confidential Letters of Recommendation.
In general, a student may have access to confidential letters and statements of recommendation that are part of the student's education records. This right, however, does not apply to such letters and statements placed in the student's education records prior to January 1, 1975, if such letters and statements are not used for purposes other than those for which they were specifically intended.
A student may, by signing a written waiver, relinquish her right to inspect confidential recommendations placed in the student's education records on or after January 1, 1975, respecting
1. admission to any educational institution;
2. an application for employment; or
3. the receipt of an honor or honorary recognition.
In no case will any student be required by the College to waive her rights to access of confidential recommendations. A student may find it appropriate to do so for a number of reasons. For example, the student may feel that her professors will write more candid and helpful letters of recommendation if the letters are not available to the student. A number of schools and departments have waiver forms available. A school or department desiring to formulate a waiver form should consult the General Counsel of the College.
(c) Copying.
A student will ordinarily not be provided with copies of any part of her record other than her transcript, unless the inability to obtain copies would effectively prevent her from exercising her right to inspect and review her education records. In cases where copies will be provided, the Office of the Registrar may impose a charge for making such copies at such uniform rates as it shall determine. In general, the charges imposed will not exceed $.10 per page. An exception is the case of transcripts, which are $4.
(d) Other Rights.
1. A student also has the right to be provided with a list of the types of educational records maintained by the College that relate to students. The College Registrar has compiled such a list and will, on request, make copies of this list available to any student to assist the student in determining those records to which she may want access. Generally, educational records of a current student will be maintained by the Office of Registrar, the Office of the Vice President for Student Engagement, the student's advisor or Learner Services Specialist and the Department of the student's major.
Academic Records of current students are also kept by the following offices if the student is currently a participant in that program:
a. Educational Opportunity Fund Program
b. Any program with students who have Declared Disabilities
c. Athletics
d. First-Year Program
In addition, the College Health Service and the Counseling Center maintain records relating to students who have utilized the services offered by those two departments. If a student has utilized the Career Development Office at the College, that office may also maintain records relating to the student.
2. A student may request that her records be amended to eliminate any information contained therein that she believes is inaccurate, misleading, or violates her privacy or other rights.
3. If the College decides to refuse to amend a student's records, she or she is entitled to a hearing to challenge the content of her educational records in order to insure that the records are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of her privacy or other rights. Normally, an informal hearing will suffice with an officer of the College who has authority to make changes in a student's records.
4. If a student is dissatisfied with the results of such a hearing, the student should be referred to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. If, after a hearing, the College decides that the student's records are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of her privacy or other rights, the student has the right to place in her records a statement commenting upon the information and/or setting forth any reasons for disagreeing with the decision of the College.
(a) General.
The College will not generally permit access to, or release of, educational records or personally identifiable information contained therein to any party without the written consent of the student. The College may, however, as provided in the Act, release such data to certain persons including:
1. Officials of the College who have a legitimate educational interest (including persons with whom the College has contracted) in obtaining access to the records. Such access will be granted if the official needs to review an educational record in order to fulfill her or her professional responsibility.
2. Persons who require access in connection with the student's application for, or receipt of, financial aid.
3. Parents of a student, provided the student is a "dependent" of the parents for federal income tax purposes. In general, the College does not initiate communication with a student's parents. Where the College believes that it is in a dependent student's interest, information from the student's educational records may be released to the parents of such a dependent student.
4. The College may release such information in compliance with a judicial order or pursuant to any lawfully issued subpoena. As a general policy, before any information is so released the College will first notify the student at the student's most recent address as shown in the records maintained by the Office of the Registrar. However, in compliance with the Act, some judicial orders and subpoenas issued for law enforcement purposes specify that the College cannot disclose to any person the existence or contents of the order or subpoena or the information furnished in compliance with it.
5. In connection with an emergency, the College may release information from educational records to appropriate persons if the knowledge of such information is necessary to protect the health or safety of a student or other persons.
(b) Release with the Student's Consent.
Upon written consent or request by a student, the College will release information from the student's educational records to third parties. The student should make a request for a one-time release through the Office of the Registrar. The College may impose a charge for copying a student's records in connection with such release.
(c) Transfer of Information to Third Parties.
It shall be a condition of the release by the College of any personal information on a student to a third party that the party to which the information is released will not permit any other party to have access to such information without the written consent of the student. An institution to which such information is released may permit its officers, employees, and agents to use such information but only for the purposes for which the disclosure was made.

Unleashed: True Paradise: Tahiti Transforms 11 Huskies
Danny Shelton, Hau'oli Jamora, John Timu, Deontae Cooper, Shane Brostek, Thomas Tutogi, Taz Stevenson, Tre Watson, Kaitlin Inglesby, Hooch Fagaly, and Kimberlee Souza give till they drop mentoring children and teaching adults in Tahiti. "It has changed my life."
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE – Danny Shelton had someone on his back. Yet again.
But this time it wasn't an opposing offensive lineman trying to ward off the Huskies' huge, brick-wall of a defensive tackle. It wasn't position coach Tosh Lupoi urging him on in a way only Washington's fired-up line coach can during practice, either.
Shelton had upon his freeway-wide shoulders a Tahitian grade-schooler. The boy was wearing dark, closely cropped hair -- and a smile as big as the island he and Shelton were on.
They were dancing and singing joyously to Katy Perry's song "Firework." The French-speaking kids in Tahiti knew the chorus by heart -- in English.
""Boom! Boom! Boom! Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon…"
Shelton was in a large room dancing with UW football teammates Hau'oli Jamora, John Timu, Deontae Cooper, Shane Brostek, Thomas Tutogi, Taz Stevenson, and Tre Watson, plus Husky softball players Kaitlin Inglesby, Hooch Fagaly and Kimberlee Souza. Oh, and 400 glowing children. All were having a ball last month at Punavai Plain E'cole E'le'mentarie on the island of Tahiti.
"It was awesome. And really, really humbling," Brostek told me Monday at Conibear Shellhouse, minutes before the first class meeting for these 11 enriched Huskies since they returned last week from French Polynesia.
Their trip was a study-abroad class, a once-in-a-lifetime, service-learning extension of the Pacific Islander studies they've had over the last year through UW's Department of Anthropology.
"The kids there viewed us more as something different than athletes to experience something that was fun for them," said Brostek, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound offensive lineman.
He is one of a baker's dozen of Husky football players who are either from Hawai'i or of Pacific Islander heritage.
"They didn't understand that we were football and softball players. They had no preconceived notions that we are these big, bad, mean football dudes," Brostek said, smiling at the memory of the world's newest Husky fans.
"They were just great kids."
Brostek and his fellow Dawgs spent 10 days seeing a Tahiti to which travel agents don't send tourists.
They experienced the struggles of a small nation better known for being paradise for its majestically blue waters and white sands, but one whose people are unsure of whether they want independence from French colonization. Jamora is still thinking of seeing a Tahitian farmer being denied the water he needed for his crops and family. The pipes instead U-turned away from the farmer's property, diverted to support the tourists staying at Tahiti's glimmering hotels down the way.
The Huskies saw first-hand what they had been studying for months: The damaging effects of decades of nuclear testing – almost 200 atomic explosions in all -- by the French in Tahiti, in the south Pacific on about the same latitude as Peru far to the east and as the northern tip of Australia to its west.
They saw a Tahitian culture struggling to stay alive amid school and government requirements that are almost entirely French.
They will never be the same.
"It has changed my life," Watson said.
The former walk-on cornerback from Central Washington earned a scholarship with a prominent role on UW's defense last year.
He earned a new outlook on life last month.
"The trip has centered me to focus in on every detail of my life, to not take anything for granted," he said Monday, when members of the Tahiti class met to discuss with anthropology lecturer Holly Barker what they'd seen half a world away.
"Oh, man," said Cooper, the determined running back whose Huskies debut has been delayed three years by three major knee injuries, "it was better than I could have ever imagined."
He and the Huskies each brought home far more than the Tahitian flags each received as parting gifts.
"Too awesome," said Inglesby, who herself is a remarkable story. "I can't believe we've only been back a week."
Barker led the trip. She sounds as proud as Steve Sarkisian would be if these Huskies had reached the Rose Bowl.
"They are such great ambassadors for the University of Washington," said Barker, who has taught Timu in four, 400-level anthropology courses and has been his advisor for five internship credits. "Everyone on the island was throwing their "Dubs" up, wanting to be Huskies.
"Washington is definitely a known commodity in Tahiti now, without a doubt."
Sure, they were in paradise. But this was far from a lounging vacation.
These Huskies trained for their sports at dawn, running on the tranquil, idyllic beach to stay in shape with the start of fall football camp now a month away. After a quick breakfast heavy on local fruits they worked with the kids at schools all day, teaching them everything from basketball layups to English phrases. At night they conducted what are believed to be the first sports clinics put on by American athletes in Tahiti. The Huskies went to three different sites on the island, teaching 20-through-50 year-old men football on a field lined for soccer, and Tahitian girls and mothers softball on patches of turf without an infield in sight.
"You've got to SPRINT through there!" Cooper bellowed good-naturedly on a video recording, taken while a 20-something man ran tentatively through a high-stepping, ball-carrying drill.
"Ball. Glove," Fagaly, the All-Pac-12 infielder, said slowly to young and older women in another video the group brought home.
Her explanations and Inglesby's powerful pitching wowed the curious Tahitians, who have no competitive sports system for females.
"I was so proud of the students," Barker said. "They gave until they couldn't give anymore. With every group of school kids they would run and work until they were soaking wet with sweat, and often collapse on the floor after a group left. When the next group arrived minutes later, our students would rally and feed off the energy of the kids to once again create an exciting learning environment for the kids. The kids responded with pictures and cards, songs, dances, and hugs.
"All our students gave so much of themselves. They gave their knowledge of their sports, but they also showcased their compassion and caring for other people and their concern for the well-being of others. I was immensely proud of this group. Obviously they are great students -- a requirement for the trip -- and athletes, but more importantly they are phenomenal human beings.
"I love these students."
That love was mutual.
The Huskies stayed in the town of Puna'auia on the island's west coast with Andrew and Andrea Lependu. They shared their beachfront home and their five children who ranged from eight to 14 years old. They came to adore the Dawgs. One son, whom the players called "T-bone" because they couldn't pronounce his Tahitian name, clung to Shelton like a sweaty practice jersey. T-bone sat next to Shelton on every van ride to an event. He woke with Shelton before 6 each morning to run the beach with him.
The family, which also hosted two interpreters for the Huskies, played board games with the players in the evenings. They taught them the "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" song in Tahitian. There were no televisions, no electronics. The Huskies' cell phones didn't work in Tahiti, anyway.
The visitors learned the hard way that an island without cows drinks its milk warm, out of imported boxes. Eventually the Americans adapted by putting their milk boxes in the family freezer. They ate rice and fish – a lot of ahi – plus succulent pineapples and taro, the island's answer to potatoes. They bunked open-bay style upstairs in cozy, communal setups. The women got the rooms with doors, for some privacy.
Outside the Lependus' home the Huskies saw how the requirements of French language in schools, where Tahitian is taught maybe only a couple hours a week, is eroding the island's native culture. Yet they also saw immense Tahitian pride. On one of their first nights there they attended a football game. Tahitians who had grown up on rugby and soccer didn't exactly know the rules – "they did a lot of illegal motions," Brostek noted -- but they gave an intense, almost heroic effort on each clunky play.
One of the five football teams there was Manu Ura, which had players 35 and even 54 years old. It created a native haka in the Huskies' honor. Don't be surprised if you see a reprise of it inside a circle of Dawgs on the field during a pregame or three this fall.
The Huskies met a crew of Tahitians that has canoed from home to Hawai'i. That's rowing a distance of more than 2,600 miles; think Seattle to Atlanta. Over wild, open ocean. One way.
That crew is now planning a canoe trip around the world.
"In the camps, in the games, in the schools, they always brought passion," Shelton said. "The Tahitians brought it EVERY day."
The class that got the Huskies to Tahiti also involves the Seattle-area Taro Roots Foundation, which Ink Aleaga began six years ago. A senior counselor in the UW's acclaimed Student-Athlete Athletic Services department, Aleaga established Taro Roots to promote and encourage Pacific Islander and non-Pacific Islander youngsters to pursue higher education through its academic and athletic seminars.
The 11 players who were in Tahiti will present field journals of their trip at the latest Taro Roots seminar next week in West Seattle.
Taro Roots has spawned a renewed initiative within Husky athletics to involve its student-athletes extensively in Seattle-area public grade schools.
"Our biggest thing was we wanted to keep our student-athletes' involvement in schools sustainable. We wanted involvement that lasts beyond a month or a visit," said Liberty Bracken, an academic advisor in UW's SAAS who is also Taro Roots' director of operations. She was on the trip to Tahiti.
Huskies teams have for years been involved in community outreach programs. Football players spend each May in their team's "Blitz the Sound" campaign visiting kids at area elementary, middle and special-needs schools, plus patients at Seattle Children's Hospital.
This spring Tutogi became something of a cult hero for all the work and mentorship he provided at Bryant Elementary just north of UW's campus.
Shelton, whom SAAS director Kim Durand feels Shelton could become Washington's first first-team academic All-American in football since Ed Cunningham in 1991, spent his past academic year working with hearing-impaired children. That was to capitalize on the classes in American Sign Language he has taken at UW.
Keith Price became so ingrained in Green Lake Elementary as an intern he trekked last month onto a ferry from downtown Seattle and hiked through the woods to surprise its fourth graders at their four-day science camp on Bainbridge Island.
Price was going to be the 12th Husky to travel to Tahiti last month. But the redshirt senior instead graduated on time with his fourth-year class. His mother, grandmother and extended family -- the same pack that follows its quarterback to every Husky game wearing KP17 T-shirts --flew from Compton, Calif., to see him walk in UW's commencement ceremonies at CenturyLink Field.
(Price will be taking a full academic load of 12 credits this fall as the Huskies' fifth-year senior quarterback. His credits could count toward an eventual graduate degree, if he chooses.)
The Tahiti course mushroomed almost overnight in April. UW's academic services team was looking to build upon the Pacific Islander studies the Huskies had in recent academic quarters through Barker's anthropology classes. That included Timu and Jamora becoming featured speakers in UW's annual undergraduate research symposium in May.
Football players take courses during UW's summer quarter that ran from mid-June up to the start of fall practice the first week of August. Non-resident fees for a student to enroll in summer quarter total $4,535, and the athletic department must approve the financial aid for scholarship players to take summer classes.
Bracken noticed an opportunity for study abroad through UW's International Programs and Exchanges (IPE) department that would cost less per student, even with airfare, food, lodging with a host family and a professor's stipend. Study abroad is also worth more credits than a traditional summer course on campus. Furthermore, IPE trips are tuition-exempt.
Since the football and softball players had already been approved for summer financial aid, the Tahiti trip actually saved the athletic department in academic costs – and enriched the 11 Huskies so much more than the single, additional academic credit suggests.
UW students had traveled to Tahiti to study before; Barker had been on one such trip a few years ago. But Bracken's proposal was attractive to both the athletic department and university because it was for students who rarely have the chance to study abroad within the UW's 10-week academic terms. Student-athletes are usually too immersed in studying, training, competing and practicing to spend an entire quarter or even a month out of the country.
Bracken proposed a 10-day trip at an optimal time for football and softball players: Immediately after final exams of spring quarter, just after Inglesby, Fagaly and Souza returned from Washington's play in last month's Women's College World Series.
"It was SO worth everything," Bracken said of her frantic coordinating for the trip. "It was life changing. It was very transformative – for all of us."
Before they returned home, the Huskies got free time to go the markets in town. Most bought black pearls, a popular Tahitian souvenir.
Stevenson, a safety from Hawai'i, has his black pearl on a necklace. He intends to show it off constantly, as a reminder of the bonds the Huskies made with the Tahitians – and with themselves.
"I plan on wearing that every day throughout the season, to remember this trip and what it did for all of us," he said.
"It was a very humbling experience, a wonderfully humbling experience. It makes us appreciate what we have. I have nothing to complain about any more."
When it was over last week, when about 100 of those kids from Punavai Plain E'cole E'le'mentarie joined the Lependu family to see off the Huskies at the airport, the Dawgs shed tears. Inglesby admits she was outright "sobbing." Some of the football guys kept their sunglasses on to hide their eyes.
There is no need to hide their feelings on what 10 days in Tahiti have done for them. The 11 Huskies are making a documentary of their trip as a capstone project to this summer course like none other.
"Those guys were playing football purely for the love of the football. They all have 9-to-5 jobs. They are grown men," Jamora said of those Tahitians in the clinics.
"Football to me was life. You had to live it. It was our one avenue to succeed in life. Well, this trip helped me open up my mind. I could go back to Tahiti. I could be an educator anywhere, teaching kids.
"I'm not so dependent on athletics anymore."

JOHN BELL'S THE NEXT SUPPER--A DINNER HAPPENING, UMOCA, Friday, 7 p.m., Free
This one-night-only special event at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art sounds really cool in concept, but I have the feeling that everyone who goes to check it out will be jealous of artist John Bell's collaborators. The centerpiece of the show is a 68-person dining table that will be set up in the museum's main gallery, and the people seated at the table will use the stuff in front of them--food, wine, candles and whatnot--to complete some of Bell's unfinished canvasses. Ryan Lowder of The Copper Onion is designing the meal, so you know it will be both visually sweet and damn tasty, too. Talk about your interactive experiences--how does one get on the guest list for one of Bell's future foodie nights? Actually, they sold tix, but it's sold out, so we'll all be relegated to watching the proceedings as art fans, rather than diners, but it should still be worthy. This is the third of Bell's "dinner happenings;" one of the past ones took place in L.A.'s Chinatown.

Folk rock didn't necessarily begin here. Four months before the Byrds recorded "Mr. Tambourine Man," the Animals were topping the pop charts with "The House of the Rising Sun." But this combination of song and performance epitomized the genre, with the happy effect of giving Bob Dylan – as songwriter, at least – a Number One hit, peaking on Billboard's Hot 100 on the week of June 26, 1965. The Byrds' debut gave them a powerful lift-off. The only Byrd playing on it, though, was electric 12-string guitarist Jim (later Roger) McGuinn. Producer Terry Melcher, doubtful of the new band's abilities, hired top session musicians (including Leon Russell) to back up the vocals of McGuinn, David Crosby and Gene Clark. Perhaps Melcher had heard the group's originally private 1964 recording of the tune, which sounds like an arrangement for a music box. The Byrds recorded and released "Mr. Tambourine Man" neck and neck with Dylan's own (album-only) acoustic version. "We didn't really like [the song] or even understand it at the time," bassist Chris Hillman later admitted; their manager had pushed it on them. Drenched in the 12-string jangle of McGuinn's Rickenbacker guitar and with its lush harmonies, the presence of "Mr.Tambourine Man" on mid-Sixties AM radio indicated that the times, indeed, were a-changin'. As McGuinn once said of the Byrds, "It was Dylan meets the Beatles." The Byrds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991 and are among the artists featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland's Cities and Sounds exhibit, specifically the Los Angeles – I Love LA: 1965 - 1979 section that focuses on the era of the singer/songwriter and country-rock, the troubadour scene, older folk scene and electric folk rock.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Constant Innovation and Translation of Scientific...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
A stereolithography technology that allows the rapid creation of three dimensional (3D) biological structures out of biocompatible hydrogels and cells could one day enable surgeons and clinicians to simply print out biological tissues for use in regenerative medicine, researchers claim. Developed by nanoengineers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), the new technique, known as dynamic optical projection stereolithography (DOPsL), effectively allows complex nanostructures such as blood vessels or potentially new heart tissue, for example, to be printed out of biocompatible materials in just seconds. While the potential biomedical applications are manifold, the UCSD team led by Shaochen Chen, Ph.D., suggests that in the near term the technology will at least allow scientists to generate better 3D culture systems for growing and studying cells in the laboratory.
Described in the journal Advanced Materials, the biofabrication technique uses a computer projection system and minutely controlled micromirrors to direct light on a selected area of a solution containing photosensitive biopolymers and cells. Photo-induced solidification is effected one layer at a time but continuously, to build up the desired 3D structure. While stereolithography is already used to print out large objects, such as car parts or tools, the major breakthrough has been developing a process capable of effecting the micro- and nanoscale resolution necessary to print out biological tissues.
Dr. Chen's group has been developing the biofabrication process with the support of $1.5 million in NIH funding, secured back in 2010. Continued R&D will also benefit from expertise at the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Institute (NAMII), which is being established with $30 million in Federal funding pledged just last month. Led by the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining, the NAMII will focus on developing and commercializing 3D printing (i.e., additive manufacturing), and provide the infrastructure needed to support new additive manufacturing technologies and products for a range of industries.
The aim is to bridge the gap between basic research and product development for additive manufacturing, and provide shared assets to help companies, particularly small manufacturers, access cutting-edge capabilities and equipment. The $30 million Federal investment will be more than matched by another $40 million from participating companies, as well as academic and nonprofit organizations.

Corn Bread Chicken Tenders RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4 4 9
These golden tenders come from Angela Bottger of Foster City, California. Since they are cooked in just a tiny bit of oil, there's very little fat, and they crisp up in just about six minutes.
- 1/4 cup corn bread/muffin mix
- 3 tablespoons prepared ranch salad dressing
- 6 chicken tenderloins
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- Place corn bread mix and salad dressing in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in dressing, then roll in corn bread mix.
- In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until meat is no longer pink. Yield: 2 servings.

Thompson Trophy
The Thompson race was a closed circuit, pylon-marked contest, comparable to a horse race in the air. Pilots all began together at the start line and jockeyed for position. The race was high speed at a low-altitude, and pilots had to make tight turns around the pylons which added extreme excitement to the event. Civilian pilots and homebuilt planes had a tendency to surpass the military in the Thompson contest. The Thompson race proved to be one of the most popular contests of its time.
Bequest of the Estate of Roscoe Turner

Proprietary TyrantsOther examples of proprietary malware
A tyrant device is one that refuses to allow users to install a different operating system or a modified operating system. These devices have measures to block execution of anything other than the "approved" system versions. We also refer to this practice as tivoization.
Apple arbitrarily blocks users from installing old versions of iOS.
The Apple iThings are tyrant devices. There is a port of Android to the iThings, but installing it requires finding a bug or "exploit" to make it possible to install a different system.
Some Android phones are tyrants (though someone found a way to crack the restriction). Fortunately, most Android devices are not tyrants.

Comments about Alaska State Troopers Season Three DVD Set:
By season 3 National Geographic presentation of the episodes began to slip. The 3 discs did not list what episodes were on each disc. It also was missing an episode entitled Bears & Beers.
From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were not pleased with your order. If you prefer to return it for a refund or exchange, kindly contact our customer service office at email@example.com.

Episode count
By Jess
from Fresno, Ca
My question is for those who bought the DVD. The episode list shows only 5 episodes in the description. I know there are 13 episodes for Season 3. Did your DVD's come with the full season of 13 episodes or a half season of 5 episodes? I called National Geographic and was told there are only 5 episodes however, they are just looking at the same information that we look at on their site.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. Our website mentions only 5 episodes. However, all 13 are on this DVD. The website is being changed, and we appreciate your bringing this to our attention.

What are the best headphones for audiobooks/spoken word?
I was wondering what everybody´s opinion on what would be the best headphones for audiobooks/podcasts/spoken word? This is my top priority for my DAP, with music being secondary. As long as the music portion is decent, and I don´t have to crank it up too loud to hear it, I will be content. Idealy, of course, I would like to get something that was exellent at both music and audiobooks, with noise canceling and all that jazz. I was wondering what the current opinions were.
Right now, I have a pair of Creative´s EP-630´s. They are all right, but I am looking for something a little bit better.
40-100 price range -- MAX.
|[Remove Advertisement]
Earphones don't really matter that much for audiobook playback, in my opinion. But yes, the EP630 might be a bit too bassy and muddy for that.
I would say the Altec Lansing IM716 are good for your needs. They give you Etymotic-style clarity and noise isolation, for about $70.
The Altecs will most likly need an amp though as they are fairly demanding IEMs (I think I read there impedance was somewhere near 70ohm), the FiiO E3 mini headphone amp works almost perfectly, and only costs $8.5.
The Altecs would work great if you were listening to conversations or conferences, where hearing quiet noises can be important. However for very clearly recorded, lecturing videos or tapes I personaly would use a set of muddier, non isolating headphones. I tend to get hot ears (eardrums get annoyed) if I listen to instructional videos or similar for too long, especialy if the headphones are isolating and bright (couple that with a nasly sounding speaker and I wont be able to stand listening for more then 15 mins at a time).
To break the monotony I like to keep some kinda music playing in the background, can do this easily with a computer, but with an MP3 player its just not possible. So just being able to hear any kind of background noise (loud computers, people talking etc) helps to lessen the stress on my ears ;P Might be different for other people though.
I just picked up a pair of JVC marshmellows, as I accidentily ran over my EP-630´s with my car (long story). I needed a quick fix until I had more time to research the best ones. So I went to Wal-Mart to pick up these cheapies. Man oh man, these things aren´t bad. The isolation is great, even better than my Ep-630´s. I can´t really comment on the music or any of that technical stuff, but these things block everything out, and I don´t even have to turn the volume up at all. I am going to keep looking for something a little bit better, but these aren´t bad at all. Usually the cheapies I would buy from Wal-Mart always ended up being junk, but I think they did something right with these.
What do you use for audio books?
It has been a while since the last post about headphones for audio books. Does anyone have some new recommendations? What do you (you, abi formum reader) use for audio book listening? May be it would be a good idea to make a poll?
Me personally - I love my Phonaks, but after a very intensive year of use I had to have the cable replaced. Anyway, I love how comfortable they are and how they isolate outside noise. Especially foam ear-buds.
What I'm looking for?
Not for sound quality, though it would be nice. I'm looking for ergonomics, comfort, build quality for ear-buds as well as for cables.
I want to have my earphones around all the time. I want to use and abuse them. I don't want to carry a special pouch - I want to simply stuff them in my pocket. Therefore it isn't practical to use expensive earphones unless they are very durable. Yes, Phonaks lasted a year of my abuse without any modding, but it hurt my hart to be this cruel to them. Are there any more affordable options?
What would be recommendations for headphones (ear-bud style) given these criteria/priorities:
1. Comfort.
2. Sound isolation.
3. Durability. (If first two are satisfied and the price is very low this is not important).
4. Sound quality.
Prefered extra critera:
Over-ear cable
BTW, does anyone else likes to sometimes listen to audiobooks with only one headphone? Given good sound isolation it could be dangerous in some situations to walk around being "deaf".

I know the thread is quite old, but I've myself used it as a reference when I had to buy earphones for an audiobook today, and I found the recommendation for JVC marshmallow very promising. However where I live they were anything but cheap, at ~40,5$ (maybe the basic ones without the remote and stuff would be cheaper, but they didn't cater them), so I've settled for JVC gumy plus (~10$) instead, and I must say I'm very satisfied with them, at least for that particular purpose. They have nice isolation, bright sound, but also a decent amount of bass, when I've sampled some music. Not enough to please me, but I am a bass head, hence why I needed a separate set of earbuds for audiobooks alone.
Anyways, thanks

I remember the last time we coordinated a snowmobile aerial show at the Pepsi Center in Corner Brook. It was a phenomenal experience that was enjoyed by nearly everyone in the city – riders, coordinators, sponsors, attendees…. Everyone! Surprisingly, the most awestruck that weekend was Jimmy 'Blaze' Fejes – and it really had little to do with his show finale and the first back flip ever performed on a snowmobile in Newfoundland.....
