(November 3, 1997)
Author Chelley Kitzmiller is an active member of Aarlist, and like most authors on the list, I corralled her into writing a Write Byte on her specialty, the Native American romance. (readers should not be offended by the politically incorrect term of "Indian" throughout Chelley's discussion - Native Americans were called Indians during the time when her books are set.) Chelley took her assignment on discovering the allure of this type of romance very seriously, and polled listserv members in addition to providing her own thoughts.
Here's what Chelley had to say:
"The Indian is a peculiar institution. And still, he is a human being. A good many persons seem anxious to forget that fact." General George Crook, 1871
What is the allure of the Indian romance? Is it the stoic Indian brave with his long, black hair, riding bareback across the plain? Is it the half-naked warrior fighting to preserve his home, his family, his people and his way of life against the greedy White Eyes? Or is it the forbidden love factor of the daring young brave and his white female captive?
In a recent on-line survey, I discovered it was all of these things and more. Which may be the reason why Indian romances have endured while several other sub-genres have fallen by the way.
Readers of Indian romances were generous with their explanations of why they loved these books. They were also specific, and I made an informal tally of the things they liked most. No one responding named a preference of one tribe, time period or location over another.
Since my own research and my two Indian romances deal with Apaches, I can only use examples of what I know of them. But I'm told that many of the other tribes have a similar culture and belief system.
Topping the list was learning about the beliefs, the customs and the culture. I emphasize learning because that word was used in almost every response, which leads me to the conclusion that readers like romance novels that actually teach them something.
Many Indian romance lovers are also avid readers of western romances. In general, they seem to like a grittier kind of book. One reader responded that she didn't like things sugar-coated, which I take to mean that she likes realism and wants to be told how things really were. "I want to feel like I'm right there, living with them in their time period," said another reader.
Personally, the Apache people have always fascinated me. They have a whole different way of life, a different way of thinking and a different way of looking at things, which is why I chose to write two books - going on three and maybe four - about them. The following are examples of this.
A Cultural Oddity:
Back in the 1870's, General George Crook, a noted Indian fighter, was given the awesome task of bringing the Apache to their knees. But the Apache were born warriors - the fiercest of all the tribes. No other tribe could match them for their tracking and fighting skills. They used movement, concealment, surprise, even the land itself as weapons. Crook had orders to subdue and control the hostiles, but to do that he first had to find them. Crook learned early on that only Apaches could track down and kill Apaches. With this in mind, the Apache scout came into being. (The hero of Fires of Heaven trains army regulars to track, fight and think like Apache warriors).
Your first thought might be that any Apache who hired on to scout for the army was a traitor. But wait a minute - that's the thinking of our society, not the Apache's!
Unlike the White Eyes, the Apache did not live under a central government; the tribe was broken down into subtribal groups: divisions, bands, and large family groups. They could spend their entire lives without ever communicating with other Apaches. Consequently, scouts weren't considered traitors because they had no one central government to be "loyal" to, only their immediate subtribal group.
Money attracted many Apache scouts. No one thought the worse of a warrior who sold himself to the Army for pay. Money provided the warrior with material wealth and wealth gave him status and additional wives. To gain wealth by killing one's enemies was a virtue; to gain it by killing his own tribesmen was easily rationalized.
The Land:
Second on the lists of likes was the Indian's respect and love of the land. What a shame we White Eyes didn't feel this way. We wouldn't be in the mess we're in now!
Apaches didn't believe that land could be bought or sold, nor did they measure the beauty of one place against another. To them the land was beauty, harmony and power and everything in it was invested with life. Much of the American Indian spirituality is derived from the land. The Mountain Spirits, for instance, are supernatural beings that helped the Apache in the beginning of creation. (The Wind Spirit plays a major role in Embrace the Wind) Indians believed that there is an order within the universe, that all things behave in relationship to all other things. Within this order, the Indian holds the memory of creation.
Right up there with land, readers mentioned the Indian's love and respect for nature. The people were often named after animals - the wolf, the bear, the fawn. Television and the movies have shown us that while legendary heros such as Buffalo Bill Cody shot the buffalo for sport and left them to rot in the sun, the Indian killed the buffalo only as needed and used every part of the animal for something - food, warmth, shelter.
The Indian Hero:
In reality, few Apache warriors looked like Jeff Chandler did in Broken Arrow, when he played the famed Apache leader, Cochise. But Jeff, I mean Cochise, is a good example of what readers like in an Apache hero. They see the Apache hero as an honest man, a truthful man - a man who is strong in mind and body and who will fight and die for what he believes in, his people and his way of life.
Maybe the biggest allure of the Indian romance lies with the Indian hero. Right from the start of the book, the reader knows the he is going to be the underdog. And who can resist rooting for the underdog? The struggles that the Indians dealt with way back in the 1800's are today's struggles, too: land, a way of life different than the masses, a freedom of religious belief and most of all racial prejudice. The Indian hero of the romance novel is always able to rise above adversity and be bigger than the White Eyes trying to bring him down. "The archetypical view is strength, protection, honesty, love of the land, animals, and God. A very romantic archetype, I think!," said one on-line respondent.
In researching and writing these books, I feel I've gained some understanding of the Apache people and their life way. What I don't know about them, I ask the experts. I can't say enough for my friend, David Faust, the curator of the Fort Lowell Museum in Tucson, Arizona. He has set me on the right path more than once.
I wanted to write a very realistic kind of Indian historical - a gritty story, a history-filled, fact-filled story. Most of all, I wanted to give back to the industry I love, to the industry that changed my life!
A few quotes from some of the nice women who contributed to the writing of this article:
- "Indian romances have changed my perception of the Indian population. I don't look down on them. I look at what they can teach me."
- "I hang my head in shame at some of the things our ancestors did. "
- "I especially enjoy it when I read one (an Indian romance) that is believable. Though I do try to suspend my belief some so I can enjoy my fantasy."
- "When I read an Indian romance, I sometimes wonder to myself what the country would have been like if they had been allowed to set policy."
On another note all together, imagine if you will my shock to discover that my favorite western actor, Jack Palance, had read my first historical romance novel!
I had been out to Jack's ranch (near my mini-ranch) a couple of years back when he was filming a TV show on Joaquin Murieta, the hero of my first book, Touch The Dawn. We found we had a similar interest in Joaquin's history, which is sort of spotty. I gave him my book, certain that it would end up in the round file. Little did I know that he would actually read it.
This last February, I spent several days in Jack's company and got to know him much better. What a neat guy and what a sexy voice - a voice to daydream by.
I went into my video library and pulled out all his old westerns and watched them. He played an Apache better than anyone. Those cheekbones, those piercing eyes - all warrior! I asked him how accurate the research was that was done for the movies and he said he thought it was very accurate.
As you might guess, I mentioned that I was currently writing about Apaches and that's when he told me he had read my first book, like it very much, and was planning on writing me a review. After I got over the shock, I said, "Why don't you read my new book and if you like it, write your review on it and I'll give it to my publisher."
For two long weeks, I sweated macho Jack Palance reading my book (the first time I didn't know it, so I didn't know to sweat). I wasn't worried that he would criticize my style so much or even my historical data - it was the love scenes!
Think about it - City Slicker's Curly reading, "in his haste, he practically tore off the button to get his pants undone." Or how about the Apache warrior, Toriano, in the movie Arrowhead, reading, "He shuddered convulsively when he felt Ginny's trembling fingers close over his...." You get the idea. When I saw him again, I tried to keep a straight face but I'm a blusher and I blushed up a storm, much to my chagrin!
Jack is the ultimate western hero. He's 77 years young and still a hunk! I am enjoying my friendship with him so much that I'm writing him into my next book, a sort of follow-up to Embrace the Wind, as the hero's tough father, King Kincade. Jack is sort of kingly, don't you think?

Reds boss Keith Hill says striker Craig Davies should have been 'more honest' about the hamstring problem that has ruled him out for two to four weeks.
The striker pulled up in the last minute of the win at Charlton on Saturday.Davies had just returned from international duty with Wales during which he played 30 minutes against Scotland and was an unused substitute in Croatia.
Hill said: "It's a big blow but it's a result of the fatigue issue going into the international break and if Craig had been a bit more honest with us then we might have withdrawn him from the game ten minutes before we did.
"It's a bitter pill to swallow but it's something we will try and manage. It is a shame because Craig's performance at Charlton was probably the best I've ever seen without him scoring."
Hill has inquired about three strikers but has not been successful.

Thanks to a new Swedish study, a simple blood test may save patients time, fear and money when it comes to diagnosing whether or not they have had heart attacks. In fact, the test, when administered in conjunction with a standard electrocardiogram of the heartbeat has proven to be 99% accurate in determining when patients could be sent safely home, rather than be admitted for more tests and observation.
"While many people may feel reassured by being admitted to a hospital where medical staff can 'keep an eye on them,' they also run the risk of picking up a variety of infections, and will be hit by high costs for unnecessary diagnostics and basic care. We believe that by using the blood tests and EKG's during the initial emergency room visit, at least 20%-25% of admissions for chest pains can be avoided," stated study leader Dr. Nadia Bandstein of the Karolinska University Hospital in Sweden.
It is now estimated that more than 15 million people in both the US and Europe rush to emergency rooms in response to chest pains, although most turn out to be due to either indigestion or anxiety. Still, doctors don't want to miss the one "true" case.
According to Bandstein's study only 15 out of 9,000 patients judged low risk by the blood test and normal EKG went on to suffer a heart attack within 30 days. None, however, died.

Audi is set to introduce the next generation of TT in 2013. But there's still plenty of life left in the current generation and Audi is turning it up to 11 by introducing an updated version of its range topping TT RS, dubbed the TT RS Plus.
The "Plus" gets you 20 more bhp and an extra 11 lb-ft of torque for a total of 355 bhp and 343 lb-ft which will make the new version that much more impressive. Also included is a new sound flap in the exhaust to improve the exhaust note of the turbocharged 2.5-liter five-cylinder direct-injection gasoline engine. The RS Plus is set to makes its world premier at the upcoming 2012 Geneva Auto Salon.
The engine's increased output will be sent through the same multiclutch all-wheel-drive system and standard six-speed manual gearbox as the standard TT RS. Like that car, the TT RS Plus will also be available with an optional seven-speed double-clutch S tronic gearbox, complete with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles and an integrated launch control function.
Audi quotes 0-100 kph times of 4.1 seconds for the coupe and 4.2 seconds for the roadster when fitted with the S tronic transmission. When equipped with the standard manual gearbox, the official acceleration times are 4.3 seconds and 4.4 seconds respectively. Curb weights are 3,197 pounds for the coupe 3,334 pounds for the roadster. Top speed is limited to 280 kph which is 30 kph more than the current TT RS.
Visual cues that distinguish the TT RS Plus apart from the standard TT RS are a new diamond-patterned grille insert, carbon-fiber exterior mirror housings, black-trimmed tailpipes and a more prominent fixed rear spoiler. There's also a set of black-and-red-painted 19-inch wheels that come wrapped with 255/35R19 tires.

The sequester is in place, like it or not, and we are awaiting the affects. It was a dumb idea, one that while signed into law by President Obama was also passed by Congress, including 174 of 240 House and 28 of 47 Senate Republicans, with 85 House and six Senate Democrats voting nay.

College Hockey:Collins' Two In Third Give UNH Ice Breaker
DURHAM, N.H. — Saturday night: protocol violation. Sunday night: too many men on the ice. Both nights: New Hampshire takes advantage on the power play and scores the game-winning goal.
UNH rallied from a late second-period 2-1 deficit to score three goals in two and a half minutes to defeat St. Lawrence in the Ice Breaker Tournament championship game, 4-2. Josh Ciocco scored his first collegiate goal late in the second period to tie the contest, setting the stage for Sean Collins' two goals just 25 seconds apart early in third.
New Hampshire finished with six power-play goals in the tournament while allowing only one. Against Ohio State, UNH capitalized on a protocol violation penalty after the Buckeyes returned to the ice too late following intermission, using that five-on-three to score the game-winner.
Against St. Lawrence, the self-inflicted wound was a too many men on the ice penalty in the opening minute of the third period. Collins needed just 12 seconds to score the game-winner and followed it up with another on a breakaway.
"They have that ability to burn you," said St. Lawrence coach Joe Marsh. "Even if you're playing well, you have nothing to show for it. All of a sudden they can counter and they've got a couple of guys who can really put it away.
"That's the difference, why they're a better team than we are right now. You can't keep giving a team like that power plays, [but] we certainly have a lot of work to do on our own because we were 0-for-17 this weekend.
"It's very discouraging in terms of the outcome, but I'm happy with the way that we played. I thought we played hard coming into a building like this. There's only one way we're going to get better and that is to go into the lions' den and do something to be successful."
UNH coach Richard Umile liked what he saw of his team in its opening weekend.
"I'm pleased with the way we played," he said. "I know we made some mistakes, but this is one week [into the season]. We played two games without an exhibition game and came out with two wins against two good programs. We played a lot of new people [in the lineup]. I'm pleased not just with the Ws, but also with how the team played and then responded."
While UNH's six power-play goals on the weekend attracted the most attention, its ability to shut down opposing teams while shorthanded was every bit as vital. Ohio State was only 1-for-8, which included multiple five-on-threes, while St. Lawrence was 0-for-8.
"We did a really good job on the shorthand and that included a lot of people," said Umile. "We used a lot of units."
Goaltender Kevin Regan, playing in his first collegiate game, stopped 36-of-38 shots.
Not surprisingly, UNH dominated the tournament honors. Collins and Brett Hemingway were named co-MVPs in addition to their berths on the All-Tournament Team where they were joined by teammate Brian Yandle on defense. Also selected were: goaltender Mike McKenna (St. Lawrence), defenseman Sean Collins (Ohio State, no relation) and forward Dave Iannazzo (St. Cloud State).
The game opened with yet another early penalty called and UNH went on the power play just 20 seconds in. As they did four times against Ohio State, the Wildcats capitalized. Yandle dropped down from the right point in a give-and-go that didn't completely click, but then from down near the right post he slid the puck over to Hemingway on left side where he buried it for his third power-play goal of the tournament.
With power plays the norm after eight non-matching penalties were called, offensive opportunities abounded in the period. St. Lawrence attempted 35 shots to 20 for UNH; actual shots on goal finished with a less lopsided margin of 14-12.
St. Lawrence got the equalizer 6:33 into the second period off the stick of Mike Madill. The defenseman carried the puck into the zone from the left wing and beat Regan short side.
The Saints really quieted the crowd seven minutes later when they seized their first lead. Max Taylor broke in on the right side, got off a shot in close and then swatted the rebound in out of midair.
Trailing 2-1, the Wildcats got Ciocco's pivotal goal at 18:56. Although missing by four seconds the category of the proverbial backbreaker in the final minute of a period, Ciocco's collegiate first was a monster in momentum. Mike Radja won the draw back to Craig Switzer and from the left point the freshman defenseman put the puck on net where it deflected in off Ciocco's shin pad.
"I'm not going to lie," Ciocco said with a grin. "It wasn't the prettiest goal, that's for sure. But it was good for momentum because they had a lot of pressure on us. And they all count, too."
Having evened the game, UNH came out roaring in the third period. Armed with another power play because of SLU's too many men on the ice penalty, Collins stuffed his first of the year through McKenna's pads at the 55-second mark. Just 25 seconds later, Daniel Winnik's pass sprung Collins for a breakaway and the sniper ripped his shot through the five-hole for a 4-2 lead.
Although the period wouldn't conclude until a total of 31 shots had been put on net, 16 by St. Lawrence and 15 by UNH, there would be no scoring over the final 18:40.
Ironically, the two teams will act as travel partners next weekend when they invade Michigan State and Michigan.

While Godzilla may be the most popular of the kaiju films he was far from being the only one. Gamera burst onto the scene in the 60s in hopes to capture the popularity of the craze and managed to create a franchise of its own delivering eight films in its original run. Now Mill Creek Entertainment is bringing the turtle kaiju home with an all movie collection featuring the first 4 films in the series with the aptly titled Gamera Volume 1.
This collection features the original film, Gamera: The Giant Monster from 1965 which showcased the rise of the kaiju and his subsequent rampage at the peak of the Cold War. The second film in the series Gamera vs. Barugon from 1966 shifts Gamera from feared creature to savior as he takes on the mighty Barugon who is using his freezing abilities to try and destroy mankind. In the 1967 entry Gamera vs. Gyaos he once again steps in to save the planet from the vampire-like bat Gyaos who is determined to lay wasted to the countryside. Finally, in 1968s Gamera vs. Viras, aliens come to Earth and it is up to Gamera to take on the leader Viras in a dual to the death. Each of these entries are better than the next and look great. All of them are restored to their original Japanese cuts making for unique looks at this iconic character. These old films are so cheesy in comparison, but the look and feel of them all work perfectly. It is great looking back at these old films and seeing the way they made it all come to life. They are noticeable with every model, prop, and man in suit, but that is what makes it so awesome to watch. This character has one of the more interesting looks and abilities and makes for a lot of fun to watch.
These first four films sport some great man in suit monster action that has to be seen get the full effect. Part of the charm of these classic kaiju films is the just seeing the old school filmmaking techniques. The quality of these hi-def transfers looks great and really adds to the experience. IF you are a fan of these old school kaiju films then this is a collection you will have to have to add to your collection.

Ke$ha is NOT Dead, Despite Rumors
Truth rating: 0
Ke$ha is the latest victim of false death rumors.
"RIP Kesha" began trending on Twitter late Saturday, originally as a way — apparently — for fans to promote her new single "Die Young."
Not surprisingly, the phrase soon morphed into speculation that the singer had actually died.
Ke$ha is NOT dead.
The rumor is 100 percent false.
It's just another example of a death hoax getting completely out of hand on social media.

Tall Aquarium question
Hi everyone, I am starting a new aquarium and I need some advise! I have purchased a tall hexagonal 100 gallon aquarium each side is 13.5 inches and it is 49 inches tall. What type of freshwater fish can I put in it to cover all levels? How many?I have had large tanks beofre, so am familiar with set ups, but have never had a tall tank. thanks for your advise!!!

Not sure not a lot of stuff can go in a tall tank, you could try guppies and platies but they breed readily and red cherry shrimp and 5 or so otocinclus.
Hmm.. you could do a south american community centered around some tall wood with plants and moss on it. Some vallis on the bottom. Cories, good shoal of tetras and pencilfish and one or two pair of dwarf cichlids maybe.
An alternative, but you'd need an expert for that, is to build a rock wall on the back and do a community with smaller mbuna.
In any case, ignore the volume and start thinking from the perspective of the floor space.My 33 gallon/125 liter tank. My photography on flickr.

Yeah I've seen colum tanks that are like 6' tall, it would make a nice crayfish cooking pot. Haha
Fish in a horizontal plane much more than in the vertical, and thus floor space is also an important thing to consider besides tank volume. Despite having a very large volume of water you actually have a very limited stocking capacity due to the tank's shape.
Broadly speaking, I would stock the tank in the same way I would stock a conventionally shaped tank of the same footprint. (small community fish, shrimp, snails, etc)

Since its inception more than 40 years ago, the Arthritis National Research Foundation has funded nearly 200 leading scientists who came to us with cutting-edge research on the subject of arthritis. Only a top few were chosen to receive an ANRF grant award. Many of these innovative researchers have since become nationally recognized researchers and professors at the nation's top universities and institutions.
Perhaps more importantly, 95% of all ANRF fellows have remained in research, contributing significantly to the ongoing development of many new and innovative therapies. And, many have also circled back around to ANRF to advise in Board of Directors or Scientific Advisory Board capacities.
These men and women are devoting their life's work to the study of arthritis. With your help, we can continue to support up-and-coming scientists in the same manner! Learn more about the many ways you can donate to ANRF.

2009 American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grants
The following Cancer Center research projects received funds from our ACS Institutional Research Grant.
Project: "Functional and Emotional Health of Older, Rural Cancer Survivors"
Principal Investigator: Kathleen Lyons, ScD
Cancer Type: Various
ACS Award (Special Interest Award): $22,547
Project Summary: Once cancer treatment has concluded, many older adults continue to experience limitations in their ability to do valued daily activities (i.e., taking care of themselves, their homes, their families, and engaging in work and leisure activities). A subgroup of older cancer survivors also experience emotional challenges such as depression. I am interested in developing and testing psychosocial rehabilitation interventions to help older adults who struggle with both physical limitations and emotional issues after completing cancer treatment. The proposed study will describe the emotional and physical health and the needs and goals of older adult cancer survivors at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. The project involves psychosocial research targeted at an underserved population in the sense that Norris Cotton Cancer Center serves a primarily rural population which is at risk of being underserved due to distance and geographic isolation that can pose barriers to accessing traditional rehabilitation services.
Project: "Role of mir-10a in Neural Stem Cells"
Principal Investigator: Arti Gaur, PhD
Cancer Type: Brain
ACS Award: $30,000
Project Summary: The overarching aim of our laboratory is to understand how disorders of cell maturation and tissue development contribute to the establishment and growth of tumors of the nervous system. Knowledge of molecular biomarkers that may contribute to malignancy is essential for understanding the mechanisms underlying malignant transformation. We propose working on a project that involves elucidating the role of specific molecular biomarkers called microRNAs in regulating the pathology of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), the most aggressive form of primary brain tumors. MicroRNAs are small noncoding RNAs that function by regulating target gene expression. They play a critical role in developmental processes and are implicated in the pathogenesis of several human cancers, potentially providing etiologic insights as well as serving as both diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets for many different types of cancers. We intend to study the role of two candidate oncogenic human microRNAs, mir-10a and mir-10b and their targets in regulating the pathology of GBM. Our work could potentially lead to the use of microRNAs or their targets for designing effective strategies for GBM treatment. We believe our research is imperative, considering that GBM are among the most resistant of all human tumors to available modalities of treatment.
Project: "Modeling Mantle Cell Lymphoma in the Mouse"
Principal Investigator: Richard Maser, PhD
Cancer Type: Lymphoma
ACS Award: $30,000
Project Summary: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare but difficult-to-treat form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with a median survival of less than five years. Thus, new therapeutic regimens are desperately needed in order to produce long-lasting remission and eventual cures for the disease. However, the design of specific therapeutics for MCL will require a fuller understanding of the molecular alterations that promote its development. In this regard, the production of a more faithful mouse model of MCL can serve several purposes. In this proposal, my goal is to produce a more accurate MCL mouse model, designed to target the specific cell type involved in MCL, and to model the inherent genomic instability common to MCLs that likely contributes to the acquisition of cancer-causing genetic mutations. In addition to providing insight into the underlying biology of the disease, I anticipate that this mouse model will enable the discovery of those cooperating genetic events that have direct relevance to human MCL, pinpointing potentially valuable targets for tailored therapies. Lastly, by incorporating the ability to use non-invasive imaging technologies to track tumor development and response to therapies, this mouse MCL model can serve as an important intermediate in the development of novel treatment strategies, bridging the "bench to bedside" gap.
Project: "Quantitative Proteomics to Study Polo-Like Kinase 1 Dysregulation in Cancer"
Principal Investigator: Scott Gerber, PhD
Cancer Type: Colon/Rectum
ACS Award: $22,010
Project Summary: Polo-like kinase 1 is an essential enzyme that effects multiple important steps during cell division, a tightly regulated and highly coordinated event in the lifecycle of a cell. Errors in this process are dealt with harshly; normal cells have developed mechanisms to monitor this process carefully and initiate death programs if critical steps are not properly validated when they divide. Cancer cells, however, override these checks and balances, allowing them to survive, proliferate, and invade normal tissues. Although a certain level of Polo-like kinase 1 activity is essential for normal cellular division, exceedingly high levels of this enzyme are commonly found in many cancer cells, including those from the lung, colon, and esophagus, and in certain leukemias. This research proposal seeks to identify the cellular players that assist Polo-like kinase 1 in establishing and maintaining cancerous cells; determining the cellular landscape of these dysregulated enzyme targets will be critical in improving our understanding of how these cancers form, and, ultimately, how they can be treated.

SKA Africa boosts maths and science at nearby schools
SKA Africa's schools outreach programme aims to change the face of science and mathematics teaching in Carnarvon and Williston - the towns nearest to South Africa's proposed site for the core of the SKA telescope.
"We want to equip maths and science teachers with new knowledge and skills, so that they will feel motivated, confident and inspired about teaching these subjects," explains Daphne Lekgwathi, educational outreach coordinator at SKA Africa. "We also want to supply hands-on resources that will help them move beyond text books and the chalk board." As part of its objectives, the programme aims to increase Grade 11 - 12 enrolments in maths and science, as well as to help learners achieve at least 60% in these subjects.
Several public and private sector partners have already come on board.
The new cyberlab and science laboratories will officially be launched early in 2011. The event in Carnarvon will be attended by South Africa's Minister for Science and Technology, Ms Naledi Pandor, the Premier of the Northern Cape, Ms Hazel Jenkins, representatives from the Northern Cape Province and the local community and schools and private sector partners.
SKA bursars working with local communities
Thirty-three undergraduate holders of bursaries from the SKA South Africa Project spent 8 - 13 June 2010 at schools in Carnarvon and Williston, the towns closest to the proposed core site for the SKA in the Karoo. During this week, the students had an opportunity to work with educators and high school students, as well as to visit the telescope site where the MeerKAT precursor array, KAT-7, was nearing completion. In addition to a range of fun science experiments, the students presented motivational talks on their tertiary studies, science careers and astronomy in general. "It was a wonderful opportunity to plough something back into the community," says Emisang Machedi, former SKA bursar who now works at as a research assistant at Rhodes University. "We really connected with the children of Carnarvon and I hope we were able to inspire them about the potential of careers related to astronomy."

New Kid on the Bloch
Steve Carter | Photo: Ben Garrett | May 20, 2013
A Dallas art pro breaks out on her own.
Liliana Bloch's eponymous gallery may be new, having just opened in April, but she's anything but new on the local art scene. Bloch is renowned as a passionate, visionary catalyst, both as the former executive director of the McKinney Avenue Contemporary (the-mac.org) and as gallery director at Kirk Hopper Fine Art, where her restless eclecticism shaped that space's identity. All the while, however, she knew there was more. "I wanted to build my own space and to take the artists I really believe in, and not have to share permission or different visions with the owner of the gallery." Liliana Bloch Gallery (lilianablochgallery.com) is the realization of her dream, showcasing an ambitious program of artists with local, national and international moorings. A world traveler herself—she hails from El Salvador—Bloch says, "It doesn't matter where it comes from, good art is universal; it touches you."
Seven artists comprise Bloch's roster: Du Chau is from Vietnam; internationally acclaimed Mayra Barraza is Salvadoran; Ann Glazer splits her time between New York City and Dallas; L'etitia Huckaby lives in Fort Worth: Vince Jones is a Dallasite: Mona Kasra is Iranian-American, living in Dallas; and Ryan Sarah Murphy is based in New York. "Dallas has so much artistic talent," Bloch says, "but I think the reason I have international artists is because I feel like a citizen of the world; I want to bring that international exposure, so people can embrace other cultures." Her gallery is a freestanding space inside Brian Gibb's The Public Trust, but this year she'll be using the larger room for two of her shows, with Public Trust taking the smaller. Bloch continues to make studio visits, and plans to grow her roster of artists at a moderate pace.
The gallery opened with Ryan Sarah Murphy's small-scale collages, called Parameters, the artist's first show in Dallas. Bloch says, "My artists' works intrigue me. …I have an organic and intuitive reaction—it's like you meet a guy and from the moment you look at him there's chemistry." The current exhibit, running through July 6, is Ann Glazer's Underestimated Storage Issues, which the artist describes as "wall drawings combining elements from architecture, dreams and ancient textiles that suggest imaginary spaces hovering between basement plumbing nightmares and room-size climbing gyms." Imagine Keith Haring and M.C. Escher collaborating on a playground design—surreal, familiar and wow. "There's nothing like your baby. Everyone has responded so well—I'm thrilled," Bloch says.

Saving money is a habit that we all need to get used to doing on a daily basis. While it is nice to be able to shop freely and not have to worry about finances, reality is that everyone is looking to tighten their finances, just a bit. Whether you are trying to save on a big purchase or you are looking to save a little bit each day so there is more money at the end of the month, there are plenty of tips to save money that you can easily incorporate into your life style. Here are a few of my favorites that that help you.
1) Buy Used Cars: Over the years, I have developed a thing about being hit with the immediate depreciation of a new car. It is not money that can you can recoup at all so having the lately greatest car or truck has lost its glimmer and shine for me. The old saying used to be "why buy someones else's problems" when buying a used car, and that can be true in a sense, however if you purchase your car from a reputable dealer with a good warranty, you are still saving thousands of dollars over the price of a new vehicle and you are not eating the depreciation either. Look for cars that are between one year and five years old from dealers that used them as loaners and you will get a solid vehicle and a great savings. Pay cash and save even more by not making payments!
2) Shop Discount Stores: With all of the online retailer offering closeouts and discounts, it is not hard to find just what you are looking for at huge savings. Instead of buying the latest and greatest new laptop or appliance, pick up a closeout model for half price or more. Clothe the whole family at discount prices by shopping smart and never paying full retail. It may take a bit more time, but the savings are worth it.
3) Maintain What You Own: Sometimes it feels like we are in a throwaway world. Electronics are getting cheaper so when something breaks, it is less expensive to replace it than repair it. That is fine for some items but for big ticket things like your home goods and cars, maintenance is the only way to save money.
Protect your home by maintaining your air conditioners and heating systems, appliances, roof and water systems so that you get the maximum, most efficient usage possible. Similarly, our cars are our lifeblood in many ways. Take the time to keep them maintains so you get the best mileage and they last for years to come.
Just these 3 tips to save money will take you far with your purchases and increasing the cash you are striving to save. Add them into your routine and keep track of your savings.

Converting Challenges into New Opportunities
By stephen.fox on Feb 11, 2009
Oracle President Charles Phillips Named to New Economic Recovery Advisory Board
Although this blog focuses on Oracle OpenWorld, we want to congratulate Oracle President Charles Phillips on being named to President Barack Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board. The board—modeled after the Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board created by President Dwight D. Eisenhower—will provide independent, nonpartisan information, analysis, and advice through regular briefings to President Obama and Vice President Biden.
Phillips, and the other board members named last week, joins Paul Volcker, Chair of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board and Austan Goolsbee, Staff Director and Chief Economist of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.
In his Inaugural Address, President Obama said,
The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gross Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart — not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.
By forming this new board, the President is looking for advice on opportunities, such as protecting our resources while using them wisely, to chart a path to economic success by creating new growth and prosperity.
As you know, global gatherings like Oracle OpenWorld give you excellent opportunities to forge new partnerships, build common goals, and discover new products and innovative solutions. Our upcoming events in São Paulo, Tokyo, and San Francisco are excellent forums to find out about the latest and best ways to protect and extend the IT resources you already have in place. You can listen to and exchange ideas with Oracle experts and partners as well as industry luminaries and analysts, while strategizing with peers who are facing the same hurdles that you are.
President Obama said, "At this defining moment for our nation, the old ways of thinking and acting just won't do. We are called to seek fresh thinking and bold new ideas from the leading minds across America." Remember, it's Your. Open. World. How can we help you change it for the better?

College Hockey:For Frozen Four newcomers, wow factor takes many forms
It's the first time in this spotlight for everyone, and the little things make memories.
PITTSBURGH — Plenty has been made since the Frozen Four field was determined on the complete inexperience of the four participants.
So just how starry-eyed are these teams now that they've spent a day or so in the Steel City? It depends on who you ask.
2013 NCAA Frozen Four
Follow all of our coverage at Frozen Four Central
NCAA tournament page, with bracket
"I think just playing at this beautiful rink is an unbelievable facility, unbelievable ice," Bulldogs senior Andrew Miller said. "It's a big stadium, so that doesn't really affect anything that goes on between the glass for us."
Junior Jesse Root, one of the offensive heroes in the regional tournament, agrees.
"We treat it as another game," Root said. "We have to bring our focus and not really be distracted by all that's here."
When you talk to Massachusetts-Lowell, Yale's opponent in Thursday's national semifinal, you'll get a much different response.
"I'd say for all of us, as soon as we got off the plane, Robert Morris had some cheerleaders and a pep band, we were kind of in awe," River Hawks captain Riley Wetmore said. "We don't really expect that ever. It was kind of something different and it was kind of neat."
Even before the team left campus in Lowell, the experience was something like any other.
"I think the first wow factor I had this weekend was the police escort going to the airport," Lowell defenseman Chad Ruhwedel said. "I thought that was pretty cool. I'd never experienced that before. You get there pretty quick. We were a little early for our flight."
Any concern that Lowell's difference in focus from Yale's is a concern, was snuffed immediately by River Hawks coach Norm Bazin.
"It's exciting for the student-athletes, the coaches and the administration at large," said Bazin, who on Wednesday was named this year's recipient of the Spencer Penrose Award given to the Division I men's coach of the year. "We're soaking it up, and the coaches are working on getting our focus back to the job at hand tomorrow."
St. Cloud State coach Bob Motzko, whose team will play Quinnipiac in the second semifinal on Thursday, said his favorite part thus far was traveling to the Frozen Four on a charter plane.
"That never gets old," Motzko joked.
He also said that heading home from the regional tournament in Toledo, Ohio, about a week and a half ago created another special airport moment.
"The biggest thing for me was two weeks ago when we landed in St. Cloud when we got back from the regionals and the airport was packed with a couple hundred people," Motzko said. "For an old coach, this is pretty cool. People are jumping on board."
Quinnipiac, the NCAA tournament's top overall seed and the Huskies' opponent on Thursday, is on board with the little touches that make the environment better.
"I don't know if the wow factor ever wears off," Bobcats coach Rand Pecknold said. "It's a special moment, I think, for any team that can make the Frozen Four.
"It's going to be electric tomorrow night for all four teams when that puck drops. There's going to be a wow factor then with the scoreboard going and the fans going. I think in the end we have a veteran team, and I fully expect there will be a few butterflies, but I expect that we'll handle that nervousness, channel it, and come out and be really good there early in the game."

LORAIN — Thank you for your interest in the opening, and best of luck in your job search.
For the second time in a month, Lorain Schools Superintendent Cheryl Atkinson has been rejected for a job.
On the heels of a report on the cover-up of widespread cheating on test scores by district administrators and teachers, the Atlanta Schools on Thursday announced interim Superintendent Erroll Davis Jr. will stay at least a year.
Davis replaced Superintendent Beverly Hall, whose contract expired June 30. Atkinson and Prince County, Md., Superintendent Bonita Coleman-Potter were finalists for the job and interviewed in Atlanta last week.
Davis retired on June 30 as chancellor of University System of Georgia, and district spokesman Keith Bromery said the cheating scandal convinced Atlanta Board of Education members to hire locally.
"He had the credentials in terms of a leadership role for a large educational organization. He was local. He was right here," Bromery said. "It just made good sense."
Atkinson, passed over on June 7 for the Cleveland Metropolitan Schools CEO job for an in-house candidate, didn't return a call for comment Thursday. However, Lorain Board of Education Chairman Tony Dimacchia said Atkinson had contemplated withdrawing her candidacy several days ago and dropped out Thursday.
Dimacchia said he didn't know if Atkinson dropped out before it was announced the job wouldn't be available for at least a year.
"Even if she was selected, I don't know if she was prepared to leave right away anyway because of some of the things she had to finish up here in Lorain," Dimacchia said. "She made that extremely clear to the Atlanta board several weeks ago when this process started."
Despite the job interviews, Dimacchia said Atkinson was happy in Lorain and wasn't interviewing for any other jobs, "as far as I know." Dimacchia said he expects Atkinson to fulfill her contract, which expires in July 2014.
With the school year beginning soon, board member and Atkinson critic Jim Smith said he expects Atkinson will stay at least for the 2011-12 school year.
Nonetheless, Smith said it would be helpful if Atkinson publicly declared she was staying for at least a year so board members know they don't have to conduct a job search.
Board member and Atkinson supporter Paul Biber said a public declaration isn't necessary but thinks Atkinson will stay at least another year. While the district just laid off 27 teachers and is grappling with huge projected deficits, Biber said Atkinson's job shopping wasn't awkward, but he does hope it's over.
"Given the financial issues, this was a problem we didn't need to have," he said. "From our perspective, it's a relief."

How does making hospitals and drug companies pay more money to the government contribute to lowering the cost of healthcare?
It should now be clear that Obamacare is primarily a vehicle for government growth and political domination. It purports to give Americans something everyone likes—the prospect of good health—but what it actually does is increase the already severe tax burden on hard-working families.
The behemoth document contains 20 new taxes or increases, including taxes on charitable hospitals, companies developing new drugs, investment income, medical device companies, and of course the tax on those who refuse to purchase insurance.
Read the complete list, helpfully compiled by Americans for Tax Reform (1 page).
