Knowledgable observers generally agree that a workable and beneficial immigration policy without room for amnesty of any sort is not possible. To insist otherwise is to effectively close the door on any chance of meaningful immigration reform.

Surrounding states are dealing with their illegal immigration problems and
laughing at Utah for continuing to remain essentially a sanctuary state where
illegal immigrants can access driver ID cards, get in-state tuition, benefit
from vast welfare benefits and have their children housed, educated and fed by
Utah taxpayers.
This is not compassion, it is immoral.
Creating this environment that persuades more families to risk the rape, human smuggling, dangers of traversing borders and even death to get to Utah is far from compassionate, far from humane. It is downright disgusting.
The religious and other communities in Utah that THINK they are offering compassion by encouraging illegal immigration must understand what they create in risk to life, property, liberty and the very nature of civilization when they promote illegal immigration. Unwittingly they HARM the very children of God they mistakenly believe they are helping. Both the illegal immigrants and the legal citizens. EVERYONE looses when borders are not protected and carefully managed.

Ajax, I don't think you understand the meaning of the word
"insurrection," nor do you understand that article of faith if you
believe if means people should never express political disagreement with current
leaders. Likewise, your suggestion that supporters of amnesty have cornered the
market of knowledge demonstrates a very narrow-minded approach to the issue.
Christine, I have long been an advocate of how the Japanese deal with illegal immigrants whose children are born in Japan. The children are allowed to decide whether they want to remain in Japan or leave with their parents. In a recent case of a couple from the Phillipines, the parents were sad when their daughter chose to stay in Japan instead of remain with them, but they have nobody to blame but themselves. Their disregard for Japanese law resulted in the separation from their daughter. It was not the fault of the Japanese people.

Utah will have to make a decision how it will stand on Illegal immigration. Weak enforcement policy will bear one kind of fruit and strict policy another. Weak policy will create a California Illegal Immigration scenario. Strict policy will create an appearance of intolerance but keep you from being overwhelmed and having your safety, your quality of life and your economy irreparably damaged. Utah its your choice and your future. California once stood at the crossroads with prop.187. We were robbed of our will by Gray Davis and an activist judge who purposely took four years to make her decision. Arizona stands at their crossroads now and the question is will the open borders political activists rob them of their will. You are at your own crossroad and will be called on to make a choice. California cried out for the country to hear our plight with prop.187 and no other state would listen. We recalled Gray Davis but the door had been left open and the damage had already been done. Arizona is bravely fighting for its very life. You will very soon be fighting for yours.

All these elected officials that refuse enforce our laws should be voted out of
office (M. Shurtleff).
"We might as well hold back the tide as do enforcement," (C. Bramble shame on you).
"allowing people to stay after they have broken the law .. is an insult to millions of people around the world".
It is also a BIG insult to the citizens who's tax dollars pay to educate the children of illegal aliens AND pay the salaries of the elected officials that refuse to enforce our laws.
If the libs doesn't think the illegals should have to obey the law then I insist on the same treatment. I don't like the speeding laws. I don't like the concealed carry laws. I don't like the stupid rulings handed down by our corrupt judges.
If we are going to have anarchy I might as well get my share of the spoils while we are going down.

It is unfortunate that those who favor the invasion of America by illegal foreign invaders continue to insist upon referring to those opposed to the invasion as racists. The reality is, America continues to welcome people of every imaginable racial and ethnic background who have chosen to follow the well-established "path to citizenship" that currently exists. There is absolutely no good reason to reward those people who have decided to bypass the existing, established process with amnesty of any kind.

Children brought here illegally have a chance to make things right between 18
and 18.5 years of age, by returning home and filling out the papers. Most choose
to stay here illegally and become just as illegal as their parents.
The venue was closing, people were being asked to leave the building, the Brown Berets refused, and instead tried to engage the security officer with a verbal confrontation.
The video was up on youtube. Search the Brown Berets national website for information on how this militant group plans to overthrow the US government.

Why! The need for Debate, being Illegal is guatemalaagainst the Law.
The Soluation is to Deport Them.
Deport them right on the edge of the Mexico, Guatemala Border.
Those from other places, a 1 way ticket back, to where ever they came from.
They are Illegal, that is against American Law, what part of that do people not get.
I do not want to change the law that much regarding kids born in the U.S. from Illegal parents (usually the mother). However the Parents Need to be Deported and the kids need to go with them and when they are adults then they can come back. That or Adoption. Citizenship should not be granted because you have the ability to have a child.

Reading the comments on the illegal alien debate it is obvious what the citizens want. I think the elected leaders better pay attention to the wishes of the majority instead of political minority cries for amnesty. We are , after all, a democratic republic.

There are many decisions that must be made for minors by their parents. Minors, for example, cannot enter into a contract.
If you look at citizenship as a contract between an individual and society, is a child capable of making such a contract? As a minor, they are probably not old enough to make such a decision. Likewise voting may be a privilege of citizenship but we do not allow minors to vote even though they are citizens.
Parenthood also brings with it certain responsibilities. Just because you are being deported doesn't mean you can abandon your children, even though they have dual citizenship. You might be able to assign permanent guardianship to a legal relative who is a citizen here, but at no point in the future would they be allowed to sponsor their family members since the parents who left them behind are no longer their legal parents.
No, give the kids a ride home with the parents and use the sale of property left behind to pay for the plane tickets.

Yesterday's AP story about the turmoil in Belgium (look for the story on beards)
is a direct result of having a nation with two dominant languages. The southern
half of the country speaks French while the northern half speaks Danish.
A similar situation exists in Canada where Quebec wants to secede and become their own little country.
In Israel you have a mix of Arabic and Hebrew speaking groups.
Ukrane, the Balkin Nations, Ireland... The list goes on.
Nations, for the most part, are usually defined by language. Anytime you try to have a country with two distinct groups of people, who do not share a common language, you also have divided loyalty, mistrust, animosity, and attempts to divide and/or conquer. When population density regionally reaches a point where there is little need for the immigrant to learn the language of the host nation, youre no longer a melting pot.
If you talk to people in Mexico... if you get them drunk in a bar, theyll say were taking it back, sorry. Thats not an uncommon sentiment in Mexico, so why cant we take it seriously here? - Mickey Kaus

@C. Darwin: "...elected leaders better pay attention to the wishes of the
majority instead of political minority cries for amnesty."
Recent polling reported in the Salt Lake Tribune (Jan. 20, 2011) addresses the question of the majority will in Utah regarding the treatment of immigrants. Specifically, Utahns were asked of their support for the Utah Compact, subtitled "A Declaration of Five Principles to Guide Utah's Immigration Discussion". Clearly expressed among the Compact principles is the importance of a humane approach to immigration policy that, where merited, would in effect allow for a conditional amnesty.
The Compact principles are in contrast to the purely punitive approach taken by the Sandstrom bill.
So how did Utahns respond?
Forty-nine (49) percent supported the Utah Compact; thirty-nine (39) percent opposed it.
My hope also is that our elected officials honor the wishes of the majority of Utahns for the humane and compassionate treatment of all immigrants.

We are always told that to enforce our laws is so inhumane, and yet Thousands of
American Citizens as well as illegal aliens have died because our Government is
to gutless to enforce the law. Tell me what is more inhumane?
To not secure our borders and enforce our laws is like letting the family of 10 across the street knowing that 1 of them is a serial rapist and another is a serial murderer. We would not let this evil access to our family and yet our government allows this evil access to the citizens they swore to protect. This is Anarchy and it needs to be stopped.
Sandstrom and Herrod are doing a great job and we need to vote anyone that is against their bills out of office.

Humane and compassionate treatment of all immigrants, does not mean we will stop
enforcing laws, or accept their illegal behavior.
Th Utah compact was written to confuse the populace by including illegal immigration with legal. Perhaps a more honest poll would ask a direct question: "Do you support illegal immigration".

Illegal immigration is such a huge, enormous, super-size problem that, in my opinion, will never be corrected nor solve. The only option left to Americans is to practice personal responsibility by not hiring illegal workers and boycotting those business that hire them.

Saturday nite's beer review: Bomonti Ale from a century ago
Tonite I present the review of a beer I've never drunk and will never drink: a beer that was brewed in Istanbul early in the 20th century.
The first commercial breweries on the lands of the Ottoman Empire appeared towards the end of the 19th century1. Although strict adherence to Islam forbids the drinking of alcohol, because of its relatively low alcohol content, beer was apparently not considered an alcoholic beverage at that time and the establishment of breweries was sanctioned by the Ottoman administration. Another factor that may have made it easier for the breweries to obtain permits was that they were all owned by non-Moslems.
An undated advertisement for the Bomonti brewery in Istanbul from Toplumsal Tarih. "Beer guaranteed of pure malt and hops without salicylic acid."
The first large scale brewery in Istanbul was that of the Swiss Bomonti Brothers that started production in 1890. During the early years, beer was brewed using top fermentation. Therefore, their beer was probably an ale. It was sold at popular "beer gardens".
Ladies enjoying beer at Bomonti's Beer Garden in Istanbul in an undated photo from Toplumsal Tarih. From their attires and the fact that they were drinking beer in public, I am assuming they were not Moslem, but were either Armenian, Jewish or Greek.
How can I review a beer that I have never tasted? Well, it turns out that someone who tried Bomonti's beer a long time ago wrote about it. That person was Hagop Mıntzuri2 (1886-1978), a long-lived Armenian citizen of, first, the Ottoman Empire, and then, the Turkish Republic. In his memoirs3, Mıntzuri tells the story of his first visit to the Bomonti Beer Garden with his more experienced friends sometime between 1898-19004 (my translation):
"The glasses with beer on the tables were gleaming light orange in the sun. I thought they were honey sherbet5. Filtered pure honey is that color. They put full glasses in front of us at the table. Thinking that I was drinking sherbet, I lifted the glass with a great appetite. But no sooner did I take a sip than I got shaken and put it back down. It felt so bitter that I couldn't keep the beer in my mouth and spitted it out. They insisted that I drink it. 'No, I won't drink it!' I said…Those at the next table were also Armenians. They looked at me. Let them look. Even though the glasses on the tables were very pretty, glittering like gold, it wasn't anything that could be drunk, it was bitter."
From Mıntzuri's story we learn that Bomonti's beer had a golden color and was bitter. However, Mıntzuri's impression of the bitterness of the beer may have been strengthened by the fact that he had never had beer before and was, therefore, unfamiliar with the flavor of ordinary beer.
I don't quite care for bitter beers either, but I would love to jump on a time machine, if I could, and travel back to 1900 just to relax at Bomonti's Beer Garden for an hour drinking their beer.
Note added 20 July 2010: I did have a Bomonti beer in Istanbul in June 2010! The review of it is here.
1. The source of my information on the breweries of the Ottoman Empire is the article by Ercan Eren titled "Bomonti ve Olimpos" in the December 2005 issue of Toplumsal Tarih, the monthly Turkish history magazine of Tarih Vakfı.
2. I am using the Turkish spelling of Mıntzuri's name with an "undotted i" between the M and the n.
3. Hagop Mıntzuri. 1993. İstanbul Anıları (1897-1940) (Istanbul Memoirs). Tarih Vakfı Yurt Yayınları.
4. If the dates are correct, he would have been not older than 14.
5. A sherbet would have been a very sweet drink made from fruit juice and sugar and/or honey.

From a private exchange of emails about a proposed Greenhouse Effect thought experiment on Friday, 04 January 2013, 12:20 pm
It seems there is a long tradition in academia for "pure" research. Like "pure" math or "pure" theoretical physics, it is not supposed to be contaminated by any part of reality. Especially by not having a hint of or intent for practical usefulness. The grubby and dirty thing called making money by providing a useful and valuable product at a price a customer is willing to pay is to be unthinkable and kept hidden as a dirty secret.
Yet, the "purity" of their "pure" discipline must be supported by Government Grants that are extorted from all those evil people who actually invent and produce the products that everyone needs and wants to live and thrive. Absolutely no value is to be returned to those evil ones. Their purpose is simply to be slaves of the sacred academic "purity". They are to pay dearly for their crime of actually providing what others need and want.
However, by that extorted, evil, and dirty money going though the hands of Government, it is made pure. It then becomes a noble effort to search for knowledge (aka grants) simply for the sake of knowledge (aka grant money) and to publish peer reviewed (aka pal reviewed) papers endlessly citing each other in scholastic pretense of things no one either wants nor needs nor can make any use of (except to attain tenure and to gain more grant money). Oh but do they ever and always remain "pure" at everyone else's expense.
The modern "scientist" equivocates between "pure" (without purpose or payoff other than still more grant money) with "basic" (having purpose but with an unpredictable payoff). The politicians like the "pure" research angle because it gives them unlimited power to spend without having to be accountable for the consequences. After all, "science says" and "it's for the children!" We makers get hit from both sides by the takers and are not to have a say in the matter.
My bottom line is that if an activity can't be sustained by private voluntary funding then it should not exist. If that were the case then roughly 98% of academia and Government would be out of a job and likely unemployable. However, the rest of us would be wildly more wealthy and productive. More importantly, we would be free to live our lives without the overhead of and interference from all the academic and Governmental parasites. Imagine, actually implementing respect for the individual owning HIS life, HIS liberty, and HIS pursuit of happiness.

Gautney cites recent GOP-backed bills to require voters to show special identification, mandate specific medical procedures for women seeking abortions, and to allow adoption agencies to discriminate against gay people who wish to adopt. She sees it all as an "anti-woman, anti-gay" agenda being pushed in Richmond. She warns it may get worse.
Gautney says she fully expects bills that will harm workers' rights and target immigrants to be introduced during the 2013 legislative session. She also believes that Gov. Bob McDonnell (R), particularly if he is not named Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate, may take more extreme positions to bolster himself for a future run for higher political office, possibly the presidency.
Although McDonnell has not yet called for a special election to replace Englin, in order to schedule the special election on the same day as the 2012 presidential election, results from a primary election would have to be certified by Aug. 17.
That means Gautney, who was endorsed for the seat by Englin, has only a few weeks to introduce herself to voters. In the meantime, she faces Rob Krupicka, a three-term Alexandria City Council member with name recognition. Krupicka previously ran for State Senate against Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax Co.), the only out gay Virginia state legislator.
Although Gautney says she's been received warmly by voters as she makes the rounds, comments on some local websites have dismissed her as a "one-issue" candidate focused on gay rights.
"Comments like that have been used to marginalize minorities for generations," she says. "With candidates of color, for example, it's not uncommon to say that's all they're about. For women candidates, it's not uncommon to say they're only about women's issues. I am not surprised to hear that they would use that to condescend about an openly lesbian person as well. But they are wrong."
"It is true that my life and my perspective as a lesbian is integral to who I am, and how I think, and how I approach issues," she continues. "But that doesn't mean that's the only issue I can consider. I have taken bold, progressive positions on a number of issues, including transportation, the economy, environment, health care."
Gautney says she hopes that by serving in the House of Delegates, she will provide an "antidote" to the myths about LGBT people pushed by delegates such as Bob Marshall (R-Manassas).
"There aren't people like me in Richmond," Gautney says of the challenges she faces. "We have a number of advocates there, who are straight, male members. But Richmond has never seen a delegate like me."

Admission Information for Parents
Choosing a college is perhaps the biggest decision you and your daughter have had to work through. Of course, you want the very best for your daughter, a place where she'll be challenged yet comfortable, where she'll have the space to dream and to reach for her goals.
As a Salem student, your daughter won't get lost. We'll make sure she is an important part of our stimulating community that inspires dialogue, action, and professional growth. And we promise the same for her admission process. That's why we have counselors who are devoted to you, who understand your family's background, and can help you make the right decision when it comes to choosing a college.
Will She Fit In?
Once you've found a college that looks good on paper, it's time to assess whether your daughter will be happy there. The best way to discover if a college really fits your daughter--and your expectations--is to visit the campus. Look around. Are people friendly? Are there many sorts of students, or do they look like clones? Are new students welcomed?
Applicants and new students frequently comment on Salem's southern charm and inviting atmosphere, and many say they fell in love with the place during a campus visit. As soon as new students arrive on campus, Salem's visitation and orientation programs help them feel at home by letting them get to know one another and where to go with questions or problems.
Salem endeavors to provide an environment of tolerance and acceptance where students from different religions, philosophies, disciplines, geographic regions and cultures can live, learn and work together. In an effort to help new arrivals become respectful and responsible members of their environment, the orientation program includes discussions about what it means to live in a diverse residential and learning community.
How Will We Pay For It?
A Salem College education is an important investment. Yet if you're concerned about the financial strain of paying for college, you're not alone. Families at all income levels wonder how to finance a private college education. The good news is that you don't have to be wealthy to afford Salem. The college welcomes students from all economic backgrounds, and we meet the full documented financial need of all admitted students.
Resources for financial aid include loans, work-study jobs and grants; a given student's financial aid package will include one or more of these. A loan and work-study are usually the first components of an aid package, and remaining need is met with grant aid.

Greater Houston Community Foundation Selects MicroEdge's GIFTS Online for Its Robust Grants Management Capabilities
Community foundation eager to streamline grants administration process with highly flexible and scalable online grants management system
New York, Feb. 21, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MicroEdge LLC, the leading provider of solutions for the giving community worldwide, today announced that the Greater Houston Community Foundation has selected GIFTS Online as its grants management solution. GIFTS Online--MicroEdge's leading cloud-based grantmaking system--empowers hundreds of giving organizations around the world to streamline their entire grants administration process, from start to finish, with powerful grants management tools and a high degree of flexibility and scalability.
Greater Houston Community Foundation manages its own awards. On top of this, the foundation acts as a service provider, managing grants for a number of private foundations. Yet, its previous grants management process was prohibitively manual and did not allow for the scalability needed to grow their capacity as a service provider. "Our previous process was entirely manual, with one person managing and tracking all of our grants, as well as those grants that we manage as a service, in a collection of spreadsheets," says Ed Padar, Controller at Greater Houston. "The process was not scalable, which significantly limited our ability to expand the number of foundations we were able to support as a grantmaking service provider." However, when the organization learned more about GIFTS Online's numerous options for scalability, its online review capabilities, information sharing and collaboration features, and powerful reporting tools, they began to seriously look into the system.
In the end, the decision to move to GIFTS Online was an easy one for Greater Houston. "The GIFTS family of software has a good reputation and it is a name our clients recognize, so internally it was an easy sell," says Mr. Padar. "We needed a system that was as efficient as possible and we determined that GIFTS Online was that system. Now that we can easily open access to our external reviewers, as well as the committee members of the field of interest funds we manage, we can certainly increase the number of clients we serve. We've always had the desire to do so, but we lacked a viable tool to make it happen. Then we decided that if we build it, they will come. GIFTS Online is the tool we decided to build with."
"Whether it's due to an increase in grant applications stemming from greater need in the community, the desire to provide online access to staff members, or the need to streamline an existing manual grants process, there is a growing need among community foundations for powerful, scalable, cloud-based grants management," says Preston McKenzie, CEO of MicroEdge. "We are eager to help our community foundation clients take their grants management to the next level with GIFTS Online. And because these foundations can pair GIFTS Online with FIMS--our fully integrated foundation management solution--we can now provide them with the most comprehensive financial and grants management package available."

The Animal Rescue League of Boston and the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals joined together to rescue 35 animals from a life of misery in Ludlow, Mass. On February 7, 2014, the two organizations seized the animals after receiving complaints about the terrible conditions the animals were in.
The traveling petting zoo was unlicensed and run by Dean Manual from Ludlow, Mass. He now faces 36 counts of animal cruelty, two counts of assault and battery on a police officer and one count of resisting arrest. Manual is scheduled to be arraigned February 12, 2014.
Most of the animals, which included eight ponies, six pigs, four donkeys, four alpacas, four goats, four ducks, two sheep, one emu, one goose and one rabbit, are malnourished. One pony is severely emaciated, and a few of the ponies have overgrown hooves. One alpaca could not stand and is in the critical care unit at the Tufts veterinary center in Grafton.
Manual was previously charged by the MSPCA with 10 counts of animal cruelty back in December 2013 when animals were found to be without food, water and shelter. The animals were covered in snow and ice. Manual was scheduled to appear in court on March 5.
"Our primary concern now is the health and well being of these animals—and we'll do everything we can to help them regain their health," said MSPCA Officer Christine Allenberg. "And, simultaneously, we will vigorously pursue justice as we do with every cruelty investigation we take on."
The animals are now on the road to recovery.

For the past two seasons, Ellis has served as the head coach of the University of Illinois women's soccer program. In 1998, she led the Illini to a 12-8 record and a Big Ten tournament berth.
Prior to her stint at Illinois, Ellis was an assistant coach at the University of Virginia (1996-97), the University of Maryland (1994-96) and North Carolina State (1988-90). During her assistant coaching tenures, she has led her teams to two Final Fours and an Elite Eight appearance.
Ellis is currently an assistant coach with the U.S. Under-21 and Under-16 national teams and a staff coach for the USYSA Region I and II teams.
"Jillian has a great deal of quality coaching experience, and we're confident that she will not only continue but strengthen the great tradition of UCLA soccer," said UCLA Athletic Director Peter T. Dalis.
A forward at the College of William & Mary from 1984-87, Ellis was a third-team All-American in 1987 and an All-Region selection in 1985. She also led the Braddock Road Club in Virginia to the 1984 Under-19 national championship. Ellis remains an active soccer player, anchoring her Soccer Academy United squad to the women's open national championship title in 1996.
Ellis, who grew up in Portsmouth, England, is the daughter of legendary soccer coach and instructor John Ellis, who has directed the Soccer Academy in Manassas, VA since 1984. John Ellis was a longtime soccer ambassador for the British government and also served as head coach of the Trinidad and Tobago national team.
"I am extremely excited about the opportunity to join the UCLA tradition," said Ellis. "UCLA is an outstanding school, and I want to continue its success and build the program to great heights."
Ellis replaces Todd Saldana, who was hired as the head coach for the Bruin men's team.

Five ways social media can help you find a job
By Rachel Foster, BrighterLife.ca
Searching for a job can be frustrating. If you've responded to ads on job boards but haven't heard anything back, you may want to try another method. Just as social media has become a popular way to stay in touch with family and friends, it's also now a crucial part of the job search process. According to statistics on job searching with social media compiled by the online job-seeker resource Career Enlightenment, 89% of companies surveyed used social media networks for recruiting in 2011.
"Everyone looking for a job should use social media to enhance their search," says Michelle Berg, President and CEO of Elevated HR Solutions in Calgary. "About 80% of the candidates that we've placed this year have come through social media. Plus, the major job search sites charge companies to place ads. If a company wants to save money, it may skip these sites and rely on social media to get the word out about its positions. For example, you can find unadvertised jobs on Twitter by searching for the #careers or #jobs hashtags."
Here are five ways you can use social media to find a job:
1. Get active on LinkedIn
If you're looking for a job, LinkedIn is the first social network you should join. Almost every recruiter uses LinkedIn to find candidates. Make sure your profile is up to date, that it includes a professional photo and that its headline contains keywords to make it easy for a recruiter to find you. For example, if you are a web developer, be sure to include "web developer" in your headline.
You also need at least three recommendations to complete your profile and ensure it shows up more frequently in search results. Be sure to get recommendations from your supervisors, as they are more credible than testimonials from friends or peers.
2. Make a good first impression
With a simple Google search, potential employers can find information that you may not want them to access, such as wild photos. They may disqualify you if they don't like what they see. To make a good first impression, use a professional photo for all of your social media profile images. You'll also need to check your privacy settings on Facebook to ensure only your confirmed friends can see your photos and read your rants. You can even create one Facebook page for your career and a separate page for your family and friends.
3. Get insider information
One of the great things about social media is that it lets you access information that's not available anywhere else. For example, you can use LinkedIn to search for the recruiters within a company. Then you can reach out to them. It's often part of their job to give your resumé to the right person.
You can also learn about a company's culture through social media. Companies often share blog posts, photos and videos about what is happening with their employees. This lets you see if a company is relaxed or more formal, and can help you decide if you want to work there.
4. Connect with referral sources
Most people find jobs through referrals, not through job boards. "Employers use social media for referrals," says Carisa Miklusak, CEO of tMedia in Vancouver. "Smart candidates should use social networks to connect with others who can help them with their job search, such as recruiters and referral sources. I get up to 10 messages per day from employers looking for candidates, and I'm always searching for great people to refer."
One way you can connect with referral sources is to contribute to conversations on LinkedIn groups related to your industry. "Recruiters will send referrals to people who provide value," Miklusak adds. As you become better known in these groups, recruiters will take notice.
5. Show your expertise
Employers will be impressed if they see that you're knowledgeable about your industry. Social media can give you lots of opportunities to share your expertise. For example, if you work in finance, you can start a financial blog. You can also provide helpful tips on Twitter, LinkedIn or YouTube. If you're looking for an executive position, this will help position you as a leader in your industry. But even if you are looking for a more junior role, this will show that you are knowledgeable, innovative and primed for success.
If you use social media as part of your job search strategy, be scrupulously honest. Employers will compare the resumé you gave them against your LinkedIn profile to ensure you're not embellishing. With social media, it's easy to find out when someone isn't telling the truth.

A cuddly lamb named Chu becomes an overnight success, after being discovered in 2006 at a furniture show in Guadalajara!
Formerly a member of an eclectic family of stuffies, Chu was first spotted by Make-A-Wish Mexico's President Bob Mandel, who instantly fell in love with the yellow lamb, after seeing the positive effect that he had on everyone who laid eyes on him at the furniture show. Chu's mission in life is to know where love and tenderness need to be and he exudes these qualities 24/7. It's a good thing this furry fellow doesn't ever sleep, as his tireless work is seemingly never done. As the new official mascot of Make-A-Wish Mexico, Chu is on a quest to put smiles on the faces of people everywhere and to help grant wishes to children with life threatening illnesses that are not anticipated to reach the age of 18. His mission is to help make the wishes of these children come true.
It was traditional for children to receive a Make-A-Wish teddy bear at the beginning of their first meeting with someone from this organization, however Mandel realized that a teddy bear probably wasn't the easiest gift to connect with for some of the older teenagers and in particular the boys. But there's something about Chu who lights up the faces of all who see him. He is now given as the official ice-breaking gift to Make-A-Wish children in Mexico who are waiting for their wishes to be granted.
After the children receive their Chu, they are asked four questions. What's the one thing you want to have? What's the one thing you want to do? Where's the one place you want to go? And who's the one person you want to meet? Finally they are asked, 'If you had one wish, what would it be?"
The most common wish is to go to Disneyland. Can you believe that Disney has granted this wish to over 50,000 Make-A-Wish children from around the world over the past 25 years? Other common wishes includes meeting someone famous (such as the Pope, soccer star or rock singer), to have a computer and finally there are the creative one-of-a-kind wishes from the children, such as to be the boss of the ice cream man for a day or something as simple as to have a pizza party with their friends - quite a small wish for a child who knows that his days are numbered...
They are many ways to support Make-A-Wish Mexico and the numerous children waiting for their wishes to be granted, including volunteering, cash donations and attending charity functions. But you may not know, that you can purchase a Chu here in Vallarta from the Make-A-Wish Mexico website www.makeawishmexico.org.mx or by calling their office at 222-9112. The cost is $250 pesos per Chu, with bulk pricing being available for purchases of ten or more at the same time. All proceeds from these sales go directly into the funds to help grant wishes, so by purchasing a Chu for yourself or as a gift for family and friends of all ages, you are helping to fund a future wish for a very deserving child.
And here's one of the most fascinating things about Chu. Each one is made in Mexico by women in prison. So Chu is helping the Mexican economy and is giving practical work skills and a sense of purpose to the incarcerated women who manufacture them. A real win/win!
Watch for Chu out and about in Vallarta! When he's not out helping to grant wishes he loves swimming with the dolphins, flying through the trees on a canopy tour, swinging at the new Recicla Parque in San Pancho, eating out and generally playing tourist throughout the Banderas Bay area.

Poem Title:
My mother's maids, when they did sew and spin, They sang sometime a song of the field mouse, That, for because her livelood was but thin, Would needs go seek her townish sister's house. She thought herself endurèd too much pain; The stormy blasts her cave so sore did souse That when the furrows swimmèd with the rain, She must lie cold and wet in sorry plight; And worse than that, bare meat there did remain To comfort her when she her house had dight; Sometime a barley corn; sometime a bean; For which she laboured hard both day and night In harvest time whilst she might go and glean; And where store was stroyèd with the flood, Then well away! for she undone was clean. Then was she fain to take instead of food Sleep, if she might, her hunger to beguile. "My sister," quod she, "hath a living good, And hence from me she dwelleth not a mile. In cold and storm she lieth warm and dry In bed of down; the dirt doth not defile Her tender foot, she laboureth not as I. Richly she feedeth and at the richman's cost, And for her meat she needs not crave nor cry. By sea, by land, of the delicates, the most Her cater seeks, and spareth for no peril. She feedeth on boiled bacon meet and roast, And hath thereof neither charge nor travail; And when she list, the liquor of the grape Doth glad her heart till that her belly swell." And at this journey she maketh but a jape; So forth she goeth, trusting of all this wealth With her sister her part so for to shape, That if she might keep herself in health, To live a lady while her life doth last. And to the door now is she come by stealth, And with her foot anon she scrapeth full fast. Th' other for fear durst not well scarce appear, Of every noise so was the wretch aghast. At last she askèd softly who was there. And in her language, as well as she could, "Peep!" quod the other. "Sister, I am here." "Peace," quod the towny mouse, "why speakest thou so loud?" And by the hand she took her fair and well. "Welcome," quod she, "my sister, by the Rood!" She feasted her, that joy it was to tell The fare they had; they drank the wine so clear, And as to purpose now and then it fell, She cheerèd her with "How, sister, what cheer!" Amids this joy befell a sorry chance, That, well away! the stranger bought full dear The fare she had, for, as she look askance, Under a stool she spied two steaming eyes In a round head with sharp ears. In France Was never mouse so fear'd, for the unwise Had not i-seen such a beast before, Yet had nature taught her after her guise To know her foe and dread him evermore. The towny mouse fled, she know whither to go; Th' other had no shift, but wonders sore Feard of her life. At home she wished her tho, And to the door, alas! as she did skip, The Heaven it would, lo! and eke her chance was so, At the threshold her silly foot did trip; And ere she might recover it again, The traitor cat had caught her by the hip, And made her there against her will remain, That had forgotten her poor surety and rest For seeming wealth wherein she thought to reign. Alas, my Poynz, how men do seek the best And find the worst, by error as they stray! And no marvail; when sight is so opprest. And blind the guide; anon out of the way Goeth guide and all in seeking quiet life. O wretched minds, there is no gold that may Grant that ye seek; no war, no peace, no strife. No, no, although thy head were hooped with gold, Sergeant with mace, hawbert, sword, nor knife, Cannot repulse the care that follow should. Each kind of life hath with him his disease. Live in delight even as thy lust would, And thou shalt find, when lust doth most thee please, It irketh straight and by itself doth fade. A small thing it is that may thy mind appease. None of ye all there is that is so mad To seek grapes upon brambles or breres; Nor none, I trow, that hath his wit so bad To set his hay for conies over rivers, Ne ye set not a drag-net for an hare; And yet the thing that most is your desire Ye do mis-seek with more travail and care. Make plain thine heart, that it be not knotted With hope or dread, and see thy will be bare From all affects, whom vice hath ever spotted. Thyself content with that is thee assigned, And use it well that is to thee allotted. Then seek no more out of thyself to find The thing that thou hast sought so long before, For thou shalt feel it sitting in thy mind. Mad, if ye list to continue your sore, Let present pass and gape on time to come, And deep yourself in travail more and more. Henceforth, my Poynz, this shall be all and some, These wretched fools shall have nought else of me; But to the great God and to his high doom, None other pain pray I for them to be, But when the rage doth lead them from the right, That, looking backward, Virtue they may see, Even as she is, so goodly fair and bright; And whilst they clasp their lusts in arms across, Grant them, good Lord, as Thou mayst of Thy might To fret inward for losing such a loss.

Sometimes, the stories write themselves
What started out as possible, ended in reality, and it shows that with hard work, anything is possible.
CVCA's Tyler MacLellan proved it last night
MacLellan won the Division II state wrestling championship last night at 195 pounds, capping off a run in the state tournament where he was at his best when it counted the most.
Despite being one of four number one seeds going into the tournament, his draw wasn't the most favorable after the first round.
One match at a time....Tyler MacLellan
First Round....MacLellan's first round match had him go up against Wyatt Hilliard of Franklin. Hilliard is a freshman with potential, but this is the state tournament. MacLellan was in control from the outset, dominating from start to finish and posting a 15-3 major decision.
Bring on the Big Boys
Quarterfinal....Things got difficult in a hurry in his next match. MacLellan would be matched against Bailey Faust of Lexington. The same Bailey Faust with a 50-1 record on the year, and the same Bailey Faust that pinned MacLellan earlier in the year at the Medina Invitational.
No problem
MacLellan scored an early takedown, and he made it stand up in posting a 2-0 victory, sending him off to the semi-finals.
In a quote to Cleveland.com, MacLellan explained the difference in facing Faust a second time:
I knew he was good in the upper body, and good with his throws, which is what he caught me with at Medina. I just tried to keep my hips as far away from him as possible, and it worked....Tyler MacLellan
One dragon slayed
The worst nerves I've ever had! I could only imagine what Ty was feeling.....Carrie MacLellan, Tyler's mother
Fortunately or unfortunately, the nerves had a chance to get worse
Semi-Finals....The semi-final match up for MacLellan was interesting because of the mind game it could potentially play on him. Josh Couchman is a good wrestler with a 35-9 record. Josh Couchman also comes from the best wrestling program in the state of Ohio:
St. Paris Graham
Graham would run away with the team title, and actually had its sights set on a state record for points in the tournament. To do that, they would need Couchman to come through in his match against MacLellan. So, would MacLellan be more concerned about WHAT he was wrestling against, as opposed to WHO he was wrestling?
MacLellan would score early, and make it stand up as he shut out his second straight quality opponent, this time by a 3-0 score. One thing was becoming clear: MacLellan was solid, didn't make mistakes, and was difficult to score on.
Two dragons slayed
Championship Match....The final match, for the state championship, would provide a familiar foe. The good news was that MacLellan had wrestled him before. The bad news, in a way, was that when they met just a week ago in the district final at Alliance, it was an overtime takedown that gave MacLellan a 3-1 victory
Beating Crestwood's Kenny Jackson would not be easy
Crestwood is another up and coming program under head coach Dave Wrobel. They are making a name for themselves in the Cleveland area, and Jackson's rise is along side Crestwood's rise as a program. Despite not wrestling until the eighth grade, Jackson may have been the hottest wrestler in the weight class coming into the final, putting together 7-3, 9-4, and 5-3 wins, with two of those wins coming against higher seeded wrestlers.
It was a classic final
Jackson took a 1-0 lead into the third period. MacLellan escaped to tie it at one point a piece. With 15 seconds left in the match, MacLellan was able to grab Jackson's leg and take him down just inside the edge of the mat, taking a 3-1 lead. MacLellan would let Jackson escape, cutting the lead to 3-2, then hung on the final 10 seconds, and securing himself a state championship.
MacLellan's win gave CVCA a state champion wrestler in each of the last six seasons.
How dominant was MacLellan? He won his four matches, including his last three against high quality opposition, by a combined score of 21-5.
Pretty impressive
In a quote to Cleveland.com, MacLellan summed up his performance in reaching his goal of a state championship:
This has been my dream. My whole family's here and I didn't want to let them down. I did it for my coaches, my school and my family, most of all for God. It just feels good....Tyler MacLellan
I bet it does
What this championship shows is that if you work hard, believe in yourself, and truly BELIEVE you can win, you can. If you can grind out match after match, eventually great things will happen
Tyler MacLellan proved that point this weekend

As the one-year anniversary approaches, some of those who now call the panhandle home are remembering the most devastating natural disaster in United States history.
Many evacuees throughout the U.S. are still adjusting to life after the big storm.
Marqua Brunette says Hurricane Katrina taught her a valuable lesson. "You never know what's around the corner," she says.
She evacuated New Orleans on August 28th, one day before Hurricane Katrina made landfall.
Brunette headed to the panhandle, stopping in Bay County.
She says it's a move she's never regretted.
"People very early on were very willing to help, and I just kept moving forward," says Brunette. "I didn't look back and that was the whole thing that made such a huge difference."
The piano and voice teacher says she brought the spirit of New Orleans with her, but she can't imagine going back there to live. "The New Orleans I know and love no longer exists and that's what's really sad," she says.
Although she never plans to return to Louisiana, Brunette says she still misses her life in New Orleans. Her memories are bittersweet.
"It's still a time to mourn," she says. "It's a constant loss, it's with me every single day."
Music has helped Brunette heal, and adjust to her new life in Panama City, which is an adjustment she says was pretty easy.
Brunette says she felt a sense of community, very early on. "Thank you to the people of Panama City for welcoming me and for making me feel safe and embracing me and giving me opportunities."
According to FEMA, as of August 17th, there were almost 1,700 Katrina evacuees applying for disaster assistance in Panama City.

As the world's population continues to grow at a frighteningly rapid rate, Malthus's classic warning against overpopulation gains increasing importance. An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798) examines the tendency of human numbers to outstrip their resources, and argues that checks in the form of poverty, disease, and starvation are necessary to keep societies from moving beyond their means of subsistence. Malthus's simple but powerful argument was controversial in his time; today his name has become a byword for active concern about humankind's demographic and ecological prospects.

Released on May 25, 1990, "Back to the Future Part III" starts where the previous movie ends, with Marty (who is stuck in 1955 after a jaunt to 2015) receiving a message from his time machine-inventing friend Doc Brown, who is now living in the Old West, circa 1885.
In the note, Doc tells Marty that he is alive and well and happy in 1885, that the DeLorean is hidden away in a mine shaft just outside of town, and that Marty should not attempt to make a trip to 1885 to return Doc back to the future. He just wants Marty to return to his 1985 timeline and end the time travel adventures there.
But when Marty discovers that Biff Tannen's ancestor, "Mad Dog" Tanner, will kill Doc six days after the date on the letter, he decides to go on a rescue mission. He enlists the 1955 version of Doc to help him repair the damaged DeLorean.
After buying a cowboy costume and conceiving what he thinks is a straightforward plan (zip back to 1885, save Doc from Mad Dog, then go forward in time to 1985), Marty takes the DeLorean to the local drive-in, revs it up till it reaches the 88 mph speed required for time travel, and off he goes back to the Old West.
Of course, things go awry as soon as Marty and the time machine materialize in the past. The DeLorean is damaged as a result of its arrival in the middle of a Cavalry-versus-Native Americans engagement, and Marty must assume an alias ("Clint Eastwood") in order to make his way to the town where Doc Brown is living and working as the local blacksmith.
As in the previous two installments, Marty meets various relatives, including his great-grandparents (Michael J. Fox and Lea Thompson) and his grandfather, who is just a baby in 1885. He also meets Marshal James Strickland, forebear of his high school nemesis, Dean Strickland (James Tolkan).
Eventually, Marty will cross paths with the murderous "Mad Dog" Tannen, who is planning to kill Doc, and inevitably ends up in Tannen's enemies list as well.
Meanwhile, Doc Brown falls in love with the town's new schoolteacher, Clara Clayton (Mary Steenburgen). They bond over their mutual admiration for French author Jules Verne, and it doesn't hurt that Doc and Marty saved Clara's life during a mishap with a runaway carriage.
My Take: Although "Back to the Future Part III" inevitably deals with time travel, paradoxes, and other story elements from the previous films, it's mostly about Marty, Doc, and Clara in a sanitized, TV sitcom version of the Old West.
This, of course, is not a slam against the movie. "Back to the Future," after all, is not a drama about time travel, but a comic riff on the oft-used sci-fi plot device and all its paradoxes.
What makes "Back to the Future Part III' stand slightly apart from the other two chapters is that it spends much of its running time in 1885. As a result, the main (or A) storyline is more of a spoof of a once-popular movie genre, with the time travel element relegated to the B-storyline.
Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: Then let's finish it, right now!
Buford's Gang Member #1: Uh, not now, Buford. Uh, Marshal's got our guns.
Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: Like I said, we'll finish this tomorrow.
Buford's Gang Member #2: Tomorrow, we're robbin' the Pine City Stage.
Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: What about Monday? Are we doin' anything Monday?
Buford's Gang Member #1: Uh, no, Monday'd be fine. You can kill him on Monday.
Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: I'll be back this way on Monday! We'll settle this then... right there... out in the street... in front of the Palace Saloon!
Marty McFly: Yeah, right. When? High noon?
Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen: Noon? I do my killin' before breakfast! Seven o'clock!
Marty McFly: Eight o'clock. I do my killin' after breakfast!
Gale and Zemeckis leave no Western-movie cliché unturned. There's a cavalry versus Native Americans sequence, scenes set in a seedy saloon, a High Noon shootout subplot, and the "pretty schoolmarm" who is new in town. Played for laughs rather than for an accurate recreation of 1885 California, the cowboy story is enjoyable if rather predictable at times.
As in the other installments, the ensemble led by Fox, Lloyd, Thompson, and Wilson delivers nice performances. By now, they know their characters inside and out, and they play them so well that we can enjoy "Back to the Future Part III" and overlook its dependence on clichés and fish-out-of-water jokes.
Though "Back to the Future Part III" isn't as clever or original as the original 1985 movie, it is still a warm-hearted movie about human relationships. The friendship between Marty and Doc is the glue that holds this trilogy together, and the chemistry between Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd is both affecting and genuine.
Another emotional thread that runs through the trilogy is its focus on love stories. In the first chapter, the focus was on getting Marty's parents to meet and fall in love in a disrupted 1955 timeline. In the second, the core romance was between Marty and Jennifer (Elizabeth Shue, who appears briefly at the end of Part III).
In "Back to the Future Part III" the love story is between Doc Brown and Clara Clayton, two geeks separated only by the barrier of time and united by the effects of Doc's chronology-altering DeLorean. It's a predictable love story, to be sure, full of romantic comedy ups, downs, and misunderstandings, but the performances of Lloyd and guest star Mary Steenburgen are good enough to make this movie watchable, even memorable.

College Hockey:Thanksgiving brings many reasons for thanks
In addition to being a day where we sit down to watch parades and football and eat like we may never eat again, Thanksgiving is really a time to reflect on all of the things for which we have cause to be thankful. That is a long list, even if we confine it to the game that we follow here.
NCAA Division I women's hockey isn't perfect, and there are situations where we'd love to see improvement when we contemplate this topic on future holidays.
In each of the past two offseasons, we lost one of our programs. Recent years have proven difficult financially, and painful cuts have been necessary in many areas. That's understood. However, the manner in which the programs at Wayne State and Niagara were eliminated was particularly objectionable. Rather than announcing that programs were in peril and giving the community in general and the hockey community in particular an opportunity to come to the rescue, each program was dropped in a clandestine manner, as if the goal was not to serve as many student athletes as possible, but only the ones in which the heads of athletic departments had interest. Hopefully, those in positions of power make better decisions in the future, and do not choose to make others pay for their personal failings in running a department.
Injuries continue to be a big problem for our sport, particularly those that bring careers to an end. Concussions are foremost in this area; it's doubtful that there is a team that has been operating for any length of time that has not had a player forced to give up hockey because she had been the victim of too many or too severe of a concussion. Two examples of high-profile players that have been unable to compete this season are Stefanie McKeough of Wisconsin, the reigning WCHA Defensive Player of the Year, and standout Harvard defenseman Josephine Pucci. Of course, the risk of being concussed is not the only peril facing players. Minnesota-Duluth senior forward Audrey Cournoyer, a member of the Bulldogs' 2010 NCAA Championship team, played her final game this month and was forced to walk away from the sport when the constant pain from a pair of herniated discs in her back became intolerable. Here's hoping that advances in protective equipment, training, and treatment can lessen the frequency of these and other injuries.
For those who have given it a chance, we know that women's hockey is underappreciated. The number of fans attending games and the interest shown continues to be less than we'd like.
There are encouraging signs. It was announced on November 1 that Quinnipiac will be the host of the 2014 Frozen Four. It will be the first Frozen Four conducted east of Erie, Pa., since the 2009 championship in Boston, Mass. Hopefully that will increase exposure in the East, because generally speaking, game attendance has lagged in that part of the country.
Wisconsin set an NCAA record on January 28 when 12,402 fans attended its "Fill the Bowl" game versus Bemidji State. That bettered a mark that the Badgers set a year earlier when 10,668 turned out for a similar promotion against Minnesota. The Badgers now have a new home, as LaBahn Arena opened this fall.
The fan experience has been improved at many venues in recent years. Programs such as UMD, Bemidji State, and Quinnipiac have new arenas, while a number of others have made renovations. It's common to find features like video replay that were once either nonexistent or of low quality.
For those who can't attend the games in person, it is much easier to stay informed about teams. The coverage by traditional forms of media remains spotty, but new technology has brought new options. Where once finding out the winner of a particular game meant waiting for a newspaper on the odd chance that a final score would be printed, the Web has brought post-game box scores that eventually evolved to live stats and national scoreboards. Team sites, Facebook pages, Youtube, and Twitter all offer ways to stay current on the latest developments with teams and players. Additional sports channels have led to more games being televised.
The real growth has been in Webcasting of games. We sometimes grumble about the reliability or quality of these feeds, but not long ago any fan who didn't happen to live within range of some low-powered radio station that offered a broadcast was out of luck. Now I can be miles from anywhere and get a feed on a tablet or smartphone, and people on the other side of the world can do the same. While I do miss the USCHO Game of the Week produced by Brian Schulz, availability of free video from programs such as Northeastern, the current gold standard in Webcasting, Boston College, Quinnipiac, Minnesota State, and Vermont helps to fill the void.
Fans aren't the only ones benefiting from new technology. College coaches have access to the same sources of information on current teams and players, but they also have a need to build databases on potential recruits.
Coach Nate Handrahan of Ohio State worked with West Shore Technologies to develop an iPad application called SportsBoard Hockey Scout that meets a coach's requirements, and the Buckeyes staff began using a beta version of the product over the summer. It allows coaches to rate players, take notes, and record voice memos and video. While these functions can be done by other means, the Hockey Scout app also organizes the data, increasing efficiency and saving time. In addition to Ohio State, coaches at Vermont, St. Cloud State, Clarkson, and Yale are also using Hockey Scout.
Scouting and recruiting is a timely topic, because the early period for signing a National Letter of Intent just ended on Wednesday. The following programs have officially announced their signings.
Minnesota State:
Savannah Quandt, D, Mankato, Minn./Mankato East HS;
Sara Bustad, D, Stillwater, Minn./Stillwater HS.
North Dakota:
Kayla Gardner, F, Warroad, Minn./Warroad HS;
Gracen Hirschy, D, Fort Wayne, Ind./Team Pittsburgh;
Halli Krzyzaniak, D, Neepawa, Man./Pursuit of Excellence;
Lisa Marvin, F, Warroad, Minn./Warroad HS;
Amy Menke, F, Shakopee, Minn./Shakopee HS;
Lexi Shaw, G, Troy, Mich./Honeybaked.
Melissa Channell, D, Oakville, Ont./Burlington Barracudas;
Sydney McKibbon, F, Oakville, Ont./Stoney Creek Junior Sabres;
Sarah Nurse, F, Hamilton, Ont./Stoney Creek Junior Sabres;
Annie Pankowski, F, Laguna Hills, Calif./North American Hockey Academy;
Jenny Ryan, D, Victor, N.Y./North American Hockey Academy.
Local news outlets have reported the signings of others on an individual basis, and we can expect more releases by the teams in the days to come. Fans of the Mavericks, UND, and the Badgers can be thankful for their incoming classes, while those that follow other teams may need to dig a bit if they want their thanks timed with turkey.
As we view what is being offered up on the NHL Network and ESPN for professional hockey to date, perhaps our biggest cause to be grateful is that the none of these recruits or the current student athletes have any plans to go on strike. To the best of my knowledge, Gary Bettman isn't involved in any decision-making process in NCAA D-I women's hockey, even if recent actions by Wayne State and Niagara smack of something that he'd have devised. Despite those losses, the sport has managed to show growth with new programs at Lindenwood, Penn State, and RIT, news that Merrimack is soon to follow, and even rumors that the state of Michigan won't remain devoid of a program for the long term.
I'm thankful for our game, the character of the young ladies that play it, and the fact that I don't have plans to go stand in line at any retail outlet on Thanksgiving night.

Why is SAS (Side-Angle-Side) Congruency holds true on a plane but not on a sphere? I am trying to understand why it is so (instead of proving/disproving the same). Please help me understand.

If I'm not mistaken, if two triangles on a sphere are in the SAS relation, then they are congruent.
But if they're on two different spheres, of different sizes, then they're not.
SAS congruence is true for spherical triangles. See Todhunter's book (I think it is freely available on internet)
In the comments, Jason raised the question of the legitimacy of angles of $\pi$ radians. This may be what Jason had in mind:
Let $A,B$ be antipodal, let $C$ be any other point. Then there are infinitely many non-congruent triangles $ABC$, all sharing the sides $AC$ and $BC$ and the angle at $C$. Of course, that angle at $C$ is $\pi$.

Zombies on television, zombies in the movies, zombie-themed apparel and miscellaneous objects, even zombie romances—Jeanmaire Lafayette has seen it all. Now, she'd like to see a revived interest in the origin of the zombie and its place in modern culture.
According to Lafayette, there's nothing cool about real zombies—which, she affirms, can certainly exist. Lafayette is a lifelong devotee of Vodou, the religion and faith practice better known as Voodoo. "It is a system of approaching the divine, just as any other religion," she says, hands gently folded in her lap. "My parents were Voodoo, their parents were Voodoo, and it keeps going back into the family history."
Voodoo is not found in every family, not even in the bayous of eastern Louisiana, where Lafayette was born and raised. "Voodoo chooses you. You do not choose it. You join the Voodoo because the Loa—our version of what you might call gods—have chosen you to serve them on earth. They are you and you are the Loa and the combination is exhilarating and magical."
On the point of magic, zombies enter the conversation. "People want to believe in the undead, that zombies are the departed returned to a very horrible kind of life. And the truth is that zombies, or what the Voodoo call zombies, do in fact exist. But this truth has been twisted."
Lafayette went on to describe something quite different from The Walking Dead, something perhaps even more terrifying. "I have never witnessed this for myself, but I have heard of the coup de poudre, which is blowing a powder which is a very dangerous blend of ingredients into the face of the chosen victim. The powder enters the victim's body through the eyes, the nose, the mouth, the skin, and in very little time the victim appears to have died."
Knowing the folk version of this powder, Lafayette set out to uncover the components that could cause such a fast and seemingly final reaction. Her research took her along a similar path as what author Wade Davis describes in his classic The Serpent and the Rainbow (a rather terrible horror film was made loosely based on this book and should not be confused with the book). One example is tetrodotoxin, an extremely potent neurotoxin that can be found in a number of fish species—Davis mentions the puffer fish. A little of this combined with some other ingredients can go a long way to making an individual appear to be dying—or even dead.
"I don't mean to give a chemistry lecture, but what I have found are compounds which can give a normal adult human being all of the telltale signs of being dead, without actually being dead." Lafayette shrugged at this point. "The legends tell of evil sorcerers called bokors using the coup de poudre to collect slaves for themselves, as the powder also somehow binds the victim to the bokor's will. This abuse of victims could be taken as the dead returning to life, and then from there we can leap into contemporary zombie lore."
While the chemistry is sound and the appearance of death is possible, Lafayette does not believe there are malefactors creeping around Voodoo-rich areas in search of fresh prey. "This does not mean I do not respect the tales or that I doubt the existence of truly evil people in search of magical power," she adds. "The zombie had to originate somewhere, and I find the use and abuse of natural toxins far more plausible than brain binges or, in reality, reanimation after death. For all of that, the zombie is part of the Voodoo tapestry, a part that has been exploited. The actual legends are scary enough."
