College of Education
6d.1. How adequate are unit--classrooms, faculty offices, library/media center, the technology infrastructure, and school facilities--to support teaching and learning?
Unit facilities adequately support the work of the College (Std6d.Exh14). The College is housed on the second floor of the Professional Studies Building on the west side of campus. The Dean's suite includes offices, work-stations, a shared workspace area, conference room, and reception/waiting area. Departments are assigned a suite(s) within which members of the faculty are grouped with their chairs and administrative assistants. DTL faculty occupy 4 suites and EDL and CASE occupy 1 suite each. PACE, AEIN, and Clinical Services and Certification also occupy 1 suite each. Shared space in the suites is generally used to store candidate files and office supplies and to house department equipment, such as copiers. Additional offices flank the suites along the inside corridor and provide all full-time term faculty with a private work space, as well as offices for the data manager and part-time faculty. Faculty offices are private with ample workspace and room for one extra chair. All faculty offices are connected via the Ethernet; wireless capability extends throughout the space. All full-time faculty receive a Dell laptop computer, two monitors, and software. Faculty print either through office printers or multi-user suite printers.
COE has two dedicated classrooms. One of the classrooms includes a sink, supply cabinets that hold teaching materials, a Smartboard, and projector. The other classroom is equipped for video conferencing, with an adjoining, smaller room equipped for supervising distance interns. In addition to these 2 classrooms, COE has priority scheduling rights to 2 more classrooms on the second floor. Many other rooms are available for scheduling through the main UAA Publications and Scheduling. In addition to office and classroom space, COE has 2 storage rooms (1 for archived files and 1 for department supplies) and 2 break rooms with tables, sinks, microwaves, and refrigerators.
The technology and media support infrastructure at UAA is significant, with many resources available to candidates and faculty. For example, there are 10 computer labs available for use by education faculty and candidates on campus, 4 of which are housed in a building adjacent to PSB. The Learning Resources Center and the UAA Consortium Library provide many services to both candidates and faculty.
The Teaching and Learning Community (TLC) is located in East Hall (dormitory) and includes 2 common spaces that are shared by residents of the community. This space is not only used by candidates, but by initial program faculty for meetings and social events with residents.
Facilities on the extended campuses provide adequate faculty offices and classrooms. Their technological support is equal to that of the main campus, including video conferencing and smart classrooms. The community campuses have their own learning centers and local library centers as well as access to the UAA Consortium Library.

College Hockey:Middlebury Takes Record Fourth Straight Division III Title
PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. — Middlebury claimed its fourth consecutive NCAA Division III championship Saturday, beating Wisconsin-Stevens Point 2-1. The four straight titles are an NCAA record for any level of hockey.
Filip Jirousek scored in the first period, and Nickolai Bobrov on the power play in the second to give Middlebury a 2-0 lead, before UWSP's David Boehm narrowed the gap to one with a late second-period tally.
Stevens Point could muster no more offense, however, as Franc Bourbeau made 21 saves in the Middlebury net. UWSP netminder Bobby Gorman had 43 stops in the losing effort.
In the third-place game, host Plattsburgh State downed Augsburg, 9-5.

The federal consumer watchdog sent specialty consumer reporting agencies a warning this week: Provide free consumer reports in an easy way when asked by a consumer.
But the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which announced the warning Thursday, didn't say if and when you, as a consumer, should ask for these specialty reports.
These files contain the history of certain types of consumer practices, whether it's check-writing, medical payments, insurance claims or past rentals. The data are gathered by these specialty consumer reporting agencies and then shipped as reports to landlords, insurers and potential employers to help them evaluate your risk. These reports can affect insurance premium prices, the size of your security deposit, and even your ability to land a job.
There are hundreds of these agencies out there, and a large majority of them probably have data on you. (Most people will wind up in a report unless they haven't written a check or rented an apartment before.)
But you don't have to be in the dark about it. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, you're entitled to a free consumer report from any of these agencies once every 12 months. All you have to do is ask.
"You could essentially claim one consumer report a day for an entire year," says John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at SmartCredit.com. "But that's like being a consumer report hypochondriac."
A consumer would likely find that many of the consumer reports are redundant, Ulzheimer says, since the companies that create them pull records from the same sources. Instead, pull your credit reports from the three major credit bureaus -- Experian, Equifax and TransUnion -- once a year. These reports are more widely used. Also, check out your Comprehensive Loss Underwriting Exchange, or CLUE, report from LexisNexis when you apply for auto or property insurance, Ulzheimer says.
Leave the other consumer reports alone until they affect you. For example, if you are turned down as a tenant because of a specialty consumer report, then maybe it's time to check out that report. Under the FCRA, the landlord must provide the contact information of the company that provided the report.
If you find any errors on the report, you have the right to dispute them and the consumer reporting agency must investigate your claim. If you are unsatisfied by the agency's response to your dispute, you can file a claim online with the CFPB.
Were you aware that agencies were gathering data on you?

Hurtigruten's Richard With, the 11,205-ton, 691-passenger expedition ship that ran aground on January 6, is still in Trondheim, Norway -- but will soon relocate to a shipyard in Stavanger for repairs.
A spokesperson for the cruise line tells us that the relocation operation, which will take three days and requires the use of tugboats, will commence as soon as weather conditions in the region are favorable. Richard With incurred damage to its propeller assembly when a gust of wind caused the ship to run aground while attempting to dock in Trondheim. The ship took on water through the propeller assembly, but the hull was not compromised. All passengers and crew were evacuated safely.
As we reported previously, passengers who were expecting to continue onward from Trondheim aboard Richard With on January 6 were put up in town overnight and accommodated on another ship the following day. (Because several Hurtigruten ships service this route, there's a vessel in each port daily.) Passengers on the next Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen roundtrip, scheduled for January 7, were accommodated on another ship as well, departing two days later than planned on January 9; all were put up in Bergen for the two extra nights.
Beyond that, it's unknown how long Richard With will be out of service; we're told that an estimate should be available early next week. Richard With's next Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen roundtrip is scheduled to depart January 18, and at this point it has not been cancelled.

Sanyo SCP-2700 and LG Lotus in red announced by Sprint
Today, Sprint has unveiled two new messaging phones that will be launched later this spring: the Sanyo SCP-2700 and a dark red version of the already-available LG Lotus.
The first handset, Sanyo SCP-2700, is a candybar presented by the US carrier as being "stylish and easy-to-use". It obviously has a full QWERTY keyboard, plus Sprint-exclusive stuff like Sprint Navigator, Sprint Mobile Email Work and Sprint Family Locator.
The phone will be available starting May 10, in two color versions: blue and pink.
The specs of Sanyo SCP-2700 include:
- 1xRTT connectivity
- 2.2 inch TFT display with 320 x 240 pixels and 65K colors
- Bluetooth
- Enhanced messaging features
- 1.3MP camera
- Talk-time: up to 4.8 hours
- 4.3 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches
- 3.4 ounces
So how much will this SCP-2700 cost? Only $29.99 – obviously with a two-year contract agreement and after the usual $50 mail-in rebate.
Available until now in purple and black, LG Lotus will be released in a third color version: the above-mentioned dark red one.
Sprint didn't say when the new Lotus will hit the shelves, but it should happen pretty soon.

Four iOS / iPhone Feature Requests29 Feb 2012
iOS has been slowly maturing over the past five years and we've all been patient. Here's my top feature requests that I'd like to see incorporated into the next version.
- "Proper" extension handling for contacts in the address book. I'm sure there is debate on this, but for my purposes a 10 or 11 digit number (NADP) followed by an "x" with an additional sequence of numbers is an extension that should be dialed. I know that the iPhone will enter pause with a comma "," but that doesn't help me when we are talking about thousands of contacts in CRM systems. My request:
Add a general setting to the phone that will allow me to customize how long to pause for when an "x" is present in the phone number. When dialing a phone number that has an extension, prompt me if I would like to dial the extension after the call starts.
- Better match for Caller ID. I have multiple phone identical phone numbers for different contacts. If you haven't guessed, they all work for the same company. It's not a good user experiance when one of them calls me and the first person in my address book is listed on the screen as the Caller ID. My request:
When multiple contacts have the same number and that number calls, use the company field as the Caller ID displayed on the screen.
The ability to refresh the Calendar(s). This should be self explanitory, when you are looking at your calendar you should be able to manually refresh it and sync any changes.
Gmail Archive / Delete Support. Google has completely changed the standard spec for IMAP and how mail servers function. It's annoying and awesome all at the same time. And if you're like me, you're accumulating Gmail accounts faster than you're getting rid of them. My request:
When configuring a Gmail account (normal or Apps) give me the option of either deleting or archiving the email messages. Give me the ability to only see the Priority Inbox if I want. And give me the ability to mark messages as Spam.

When you think of Easter morning what comes to mind? Maybe it's hunting for eggs with your kids or heading to brunch with your extended family. For many, Easter also inspires thoughts of colorful baskets overflowing with chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks, caramel-filled eggs, jelly beans, and other sugary sweets. So this year, whether you're preparing an Easter basket for a loved one or want to serve a few treats at a family gathering, why not include South Beach Diet-friendly options rather than the usual candy? Here are a few ideas:
for mixed nut assortments or whole-grain animal crackers instead of the usual candy treats. Whole-grain animal
crackers are a healthy basket alternative and something the kids will have fun
eating. Mixed nuts are equally healthy. Some nut mixes also include dried fruit — such as apricots,
pears, bananas, and strawberries — which adds fiber. Offer packages
of just nuts to Phase 1 dieters and include those with fruit for those on Phase 2.
dark chocolate over milk chocolate.
Dark chocolate, including bittersweet chocolate, is not only delicious but also
contains heart-healthy antioxidants. Kids and adults alike will love finding a South Beach Diet Good to Go Dark Chocolate Extra Fiber Bar or a Dark Chocolate Almond or Dark Chocolate Coconut Protein Fit bar in their baskets.
the basket with fruit
by adding colorful apples, pears, bananas, and nectarines, for example. Fruits
are naturally sweet and make beautiful basket presentations for those on Phase
2 or beyond.
bags of air-popped or microwavable popcorn as a crunchy snack. There's a lot more to popcorn than just
fiber. Recent research shows it's also a source of antioxidants called
Toss in
a few packages of seeds
for growing vegetables, herbs, and flowers, so your basket recipient can
plant a garden this season.
Add in a
few nonperishable items,
such as paperback books, seasonal T-shirts and flip-flops, bubble bath, or
egg-shaped sidewalk chalk.
- And don't forget the dyed hard-boiled eggs. If the basket isn't going to be sitting around for long, include some festive colored eggs to eat right away.

Oregon Hall of Fame Coaching Staff
1994 Football Team
Hall of Fame Inductee
Coach Info:
|Hall of Fame Inductee
|Other Position:
|2005 Inductee, Football
It was a determined Oregon football that bounced off the mat from a 1-2 start to win eight of its next nine regular season games en route to its first conference championship in 37 years. Buoyed by their first win over USC in the Memorial Coliseum since 1971, as well as back-to-back wins over top-10 ranked Washington (9) and Arizona (8), the Ducks battled No. 2 Penn State even for most of three quarters before falling short of the unbeaten Nittany Lions in the Rose Bowl. Quarterback Danny O'Neil contributed to no fewer than 13 Rose Bowl records to share the game's player-of-the-game honors as the Ducks became only the second team in the bowl's history to accumulate more than 500 yards of total offense. The Pac-10 champions also claimed or shared no fewer than 16 school records, including most wins (9-4). Five players claimed first-team all-conference honors -- O'Neil, Chad Cota, Alex Molden, Herman O'Berry and Ricky Whittle -- while Cota (SS) and O'Berry (CB) earned first-team All-America acclaim. In addition, 18th-year head coach Rich Brooks earned Pac-10 Coach-of-the-Year accolades and was acclaimed National Coach of the Year by the Football Writers Association of America. Yet few plays would be more associated with the team's success than Kenny Wheaton's 97-yard interception return for a touchdown that would seal it's 31-20 win over the Huskies.

An ingenious applicator brush with a flow of the product built right in was the cherry on top for us when we discovered VIP Expert By Terry Foundation. ($48) This featherweight foundation, favored by stars like Elisha Cuthbert, brushes away imperfections and targets hollow areas like lines, and fills them up with hyaluronic acid microspheres and water, plumping skin for an even, line-free appearance. It's even got a complex of corrective prisms that gently reflect light for that soft-focus glow, and seven anti-aging substances to boost skin from the inside out.

Not only was Turkish Airlines recently voted Europe's best airline for the fourth straight year, they are looking out for their flyers.
Turkish is all about spreading its highly regarded inflight catering with new healthy beverages.
Thanks to Dr. Ender Saraç and THY DO & CO, Turkish Airlines will now offer hot and cold herbal teas aboard flight. These teas can help relieve the stress, indigestion and insomnia while inthe air and once passengers land.
New beverages menu will be introduced and the menu will change every three months according to the seasons.
Per Turkish Airlines, here is what one of their beverage menus could look like:
Turkish Airlines' Healthy Beverages Sample Menu and their Benefits
Winter Tea (Linden, Ginger, Echinacea, Clove, Cinnamon): Clears the upper respiratory tract, inhibits coughing. Strengthens the immune system and protects agaınst colds and flu.
Chamomile, Sour, Cherry, Lavender: Relaxes the nervous system, reduces stress and induces drowsiness for comfortable, quality rest. The human body releases melatonin naturally with the help of chamomile, and the effect of jet-lag may also be relieved.
Fennel, Anise, Caraway: Good for intestinal cramping, bloating and constipation. The anise relieves pain and reduces bloating.
Mate, Sage, Ginger: İncreases energy and mental alertness as well as protects against germs. The ginger inhibits coughing and strengthens the immune system.
Green Tea, Cherry Stalk, Corn Silk, Clove: Reduces the swelling that can occur during air travel. The corn silk acts as a diuretic, and the clove is a natural painkiller.
The new beverage menu also applies to children.
There will be a drink developed for children that contains no preservatives, artificial coloring, sugar, acid or corn syrup.
What it does contain is carob powder, bitter cocoa and date syrup combined with natural fresh milk.
The drink contains proteins as well as vital minerals like iron and calcium to strengthen bones, and allow growth.
I love these healthy alternatives for all travelers.
Great move by Turkish Airlines.

CAMDEN TWP. – When Lorain County sheriff's deputies first arrived at Dorothy Spencer's trailer on March 14, 1976, they suspected that the gunshot wound to her head may have been self-inflicted, according to the initial report of the incident.
It was only after further investigation that they determined the 45-year-old Spencer, who died from the injury three days after she was found, had been shot by someone else. The report noted there were fresh bruises on her shoulder and abrasions on her neck.
The chief suspect at the time was then 34-year-old Bobbie New, who had lived with Spencer for two years, but New's lawyer told him not to talk to investigators and the case remained unsolved for 35 years.
New, now 69, was arrested Thursday on a murder charge after deputies reopened the investigation last August when they received new information in the case.
The arrest brought a sense of closure to Spencer's family.
"I just wish my parents were still alive to see this," Spencer's sister, Pam Pennington, wrote Friday in an email to The Chronicle-Telegram. "I hope he is put away for a long time so he will have to think of what he has done for the rest of his life."
A retired Ford worker, New bought a house in Amherst Township in 1985 and lived quietly for years.
Becky New, Bobbie New's wife, said Friday when reached by phone that she and her husband have been separated for years and never talked about Spencer.
"I didn't know anything then and I don't know anything now," Becky New said before hanging up.
In a news release Friday, county Sheriff Phil Stammitti said his office won't be offering an explanation of what evidence led to renewed interest in New as a suspect because the case remains under investigation.
But newspaper accounts from 1976 and the initial report shed some light on what happened.
The report said that a woman called what was then Allen Memorial Hospital in Oberlin at 2:11 a.m. on March 14 and reported that she had been injured.
Deputies were dispatched to help the ambulance locate where the injured woman was. When deputies arrived at Spencer's rented trailer on Gifford Road at 2:33 a.m., the ambulance crew was already working on Spencer, who was found in a pool of blood on a couch.
Spencer was taken to what was then known as Elyria Memorial Hospital and deputies began searching the trailer, which has since been torn down. They didn't find a gun, although a box of .38-caliber ammunition was found in a bedroom.
The report, written by then-Deputy William McArthur, said that deputies quickly concluded that Spencer couldn't have called for help because no phone was found in the trailer.
"Also, due to the severity of the injury, it was doubtful that the victim could have called the ambulance, had there been a telephone present," McArthur wrote.
Then-sheriff's Capt. Henry Zieba told The Chronicle-Telegram at the time that Spencer appeared to have been "manhandled" and had been shot once in the back of the head. There was no sign of a struggle in the trailer, McArthur wrote.
New was the only suspect at the time, but lack of evidence prevented charges from being filed. According to what Zieba told The Chronicle-Telegram in 1976, New had previously threatened Spencer and her two married daughters. A former neighbor of Spencer's said Thursday that she believed Spencer also had a son.
New was being held on a $1 million bond in the Lorain County Jail on Friday. He is due to be arraigned next week.

This book is the best way I can imagine to communicate the unique beauty of New Orleans. By definition, she is a city, but she defies all expectations of the word. Far from the anonymous concrete jungle that "city" implies, New Orleans is vibrant, alive, colorful, close-knit, and full of people who love her as she is: flawed, elegant, stubborn, graceful, and timeless.

A Day No Pigs Would Die
by Robert Newton Peck
A Day No Pigs Would Die Theme of Poverty
Poverty is a constant reality in the Peck family. Sure, Rob's age in some ways allows him to escape the drudgery it imposes on his father. But the lack of money to buy things that other people take for granted and the need to stretch resources as much as possible comes up over and over in A Day No Pigs Would Die. At the same time, though, as Papa insists, money doesn't totally define who the Pecks are or what they have. Poverty, while a real burden for the family, can't take away some of the things they really value.
Questions About Poverty
- Does the Peck's poverty has anything to do with Papa's death? Why or why not?
- Is the Peck family poor? Or is Papa right when he says that they're not poor, because they're rich in the things that matter?
- Do you think it's their poverty that makes the Peck family different from their neighbors, or their religion? Both? Neither?
- Can you think of any alternative to killing Pinky, given the situation the Pecks are in?
Chew on This
The Peck family is rich in the things that matter; their financial limitations ultimately don't affect them that much.
Papa's assertion that the Peck family is not poor is just a way of making himself feel better about the miserable conditions that he and his family live in.

Hello all! I am starting on a Fic/Comic entitled: "No Need for Revan". As the title suggests it surrounds the former Dark Lord Revan, however the main premise follows a (mostly) all-female cast of characters whom were affected by Revan in some way or another who seek him out for various reasons.
Ashana Mosni
: A human cleric originally from Dantooine, found work as a healer on Coruscant when the Jedi discovered her to be an unstable force sensitive. She is capable of healing others, however it seems because she cannot properly attune to the force it comes at the risk of her own health.
: A Trianii warrior, she is part of a special pride of female warriors who work for the Trian Government called the
Invisible Claw
, they are stealthy ninja-like assassins who eliminate potential threats of peace or planetary security.
: A Codru-Ji farmer turned bounty hunter. She was persuaded by Revan to hone her tracking skills and become a bounty hunter because of her superior sense of smell.
Daggi Lo'Mear
: A Pa'lowick singer and dancer, unknown to the rest of the crew. She claims to be a breakout star and a success on all of the outer rim worlds, and being the only Pa'lowick to have tamed the most dangerous of wild systems with her gentle voice. In reality she cannot sing a tune and has only managed to find marginal success working as a part time waitress at a seedy diner in lower Coruscant.
Korrya Bagwa
: A republic agent and special tasks officer, she was initially stationed at Telos until the attack by the Sith Lords. She follows Revan in an unending pursuit to bring him to justice.
Meera Vaskirk
: A Zeltron bounty hunter, she teamed with Ruwifa ages ago to form a two-woman team bringing in many bounties and earning thousands of credits during and after the Mandalorian Wars.
Soraya Voss
: A Sephi Jedi Watchman, she firmly believes in the Jedi teachings and is unwavering in her allegiance to the light and disdain of the darkside.
Mission Vao
: Twilik scoundrel and Smuggler, co-owner and pilot of the Tarisian Wings along with Lena and Zaalbar. She hopes to reunite with Revan to help him like how he helped her back when she was a kid.
: Co-owner of the Tarisian Wings along with Mission, she teamed with Griff's little sister as a way of mending their tattered relationship. Lena likens Mission as younger sister and looks out for her in ways that Griff failed to.
Faydra "Pumpkin" Wynn
: A small human child who has a fascination for droids animals, and cooking. She earned her nickname by being found in a large, hollowed out pumpkin when she was only 2 years old by her adoptive parents.
Terran Clow
: Resident medic and Captain of the Tarisian Wings, she was cornered into the position of Captain as she is the best at "bossing people around" and Lena dislikes yelling or giving orders.
Lord Lethe
: A dark lord of the Sith and apprentice to Dark Lord Superbia, she hunts Revan down relentlessly, believing him to be a traitor and a threat to the Sith ways
Aedile Lumine
: Sub-captain of the Jedi Knight Templars on Coruscant, Aedile is fiercely loyal to the Jedi and her order despite her own beliefs bordering that of the darkside.
Drawings, and chapters to come soon/later.
EDIT: I didn't ask for a review yet because the actual fic isn't posted yet :P

I'm visiting in a couple of weeks and will definitely hit Skeggs. Those rip-roaring descents are so much fun.
I've only done Demo once but will really try to hit that as well. So are the stunts/jumps OK on a rigid SS...or am I asking to get hurt? BTW, I'm no dirt jumper but enjoy a little air once in a while.

Homemade remedies for facial hair removal:
- Make a mixture using juice of 1 lemon, 1 spoon sugar and a little water to dissolve the sugar. Apply this mixture on the direction of hair growth. Leave on the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse off with cold water. Apply this mixture at least 3 times a week. You will notice a significant reduction in the hair growth. The granular sugar and lemon mixture will act as a gentle exfoliating agent and remove facial hair. The lemon juice will act as an astringent and natural anti septic.
- Make a paste using juice of 1 fresh lemon and 4 teaspoon of honey. Apply this paste on the direction of hair growth. You can use this mask daily and will notice the difference in about a month's time.
- An easy to use facial mask to help remove unwanted hair is to squeeze 10 ml lemon juice into a cup of water . Add 30 grams of Gram flour into this mixture and mix thoroughly. Apply this yellow mixture on the face. Wait for 15 minutes and then scrub your face in the direction of the hair growth to remove unwanted hair.
- Prepare a thick mixture of turmeric, lemon and curd. Apply it on the skin and leave it to dry. Rub off the mixture gently from your skin and wash off with water.
- Mix one full tablespoon of corn flour, one teaspoon of sugar with one egg white in a bowl. Mix well till the paste looks like glue. Apply the paste and wait for 15 minutes till it dries. Peel off slowly after it dries. Use this mask at least 4 times a week. It truly works wonders.
- Milk and turmeric paste is a popular natural hair remover practice among Indian women since ancient times. Believe it or not, some even claim that it inhibits hair growth permanently. This hair removal home remedy is great for removing fine hairs such as hair on the upper lip. Simply mix turmeric powder, chickpea flour and milk in a small bowl until you get a smooth thick paste.
- Apply a thin layer to the facial area with unwanted hair, scrubbing gently by moving your fingers in a circular motion. Allow the paste to dry completely, about 20 minutes or so. Then rinse off with cold water.

Ägypten (Egypt), 1997, 10 min
Kathrin Resetarits
Historic Film, Short Film, Special Presentations
Egypt is a film which is almost silent. A film about deaf mutes, or rather about their sign language, a language which, like the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, links the symbolic terminology of words with the mimetic and analogous representations of graphic gestures. Sober black and white scenes show how "shark", "widow", "Marilyn Monroe", a James bond sequence, a Viennese song or the account of a treasure hunt undertake by two holidaymakers in Egypt look in the sign language. It is a very modest indication, an introduction to an unfamiliar way of experiencing the world, where one sees the sounds without hearing them. -Drehli Robnik

Safe Seas Clean Seas
– Issue 50

Lookout! – Issue 35
24 May 2016
Maritime New Zealand's current online services.
A tattered black and orange liferaft, found drifting alone and unoccupied on an icy sea … this was the only trace of a yacht and its three crew, missing during an expedition into the freezing waters of the Antarctic.
Berserk search and rescue operation – timeline
The crew of HMNZS Wellington had made contact with Berserk one day earlier.

Late on the afternoon of Tuesday, 22 February, as the nation was reeling with the news of earthquake devastation in Canterbury, a search was beginning hundreds of miles away for the Norwegian yacht Berserk, missing inside the extreme southern boundary of New Zealand's search and rescue region.
Well known in Norway for undertaking extreme and challenging voyages, the five man crew of the 48 foot (14 metre) steel-hulled sailboat were part of an expedition aiming to be the first to cross the ice to the South Pole on quad bikes.
The skipper and expedition leader, Jarle Andhoy, and crewman Samuel Massie, both from Norway, were successfully dropped off onto the ice. Then, 8 days later, something went terribly wrong on board Berserk. An alert from the yacht's distress beacon, located about 27 nautical miles (50 kilometres) north of Scott Base in the Ross Sea, was picked up at the Rescue Coordination Centre New Zealand (RCCNZ) back in Wellington.
The vessel's three remaining crew, Norwegians Tom Bellika and Robert Skanes and a British man, Leonard Banks, were in trouble.
Faced with a remote location and fearsome weather, rescuers began putting out the call for help to assist in the search to nearby vessels of opportunity. Among the first to answer was the crew of HMNZS Wellington, who were nearby on assignment and had, ironically, spoken with the crew of Berserk just a day earlier.
After steaming through the night to reach the beacon's position, Wellington arrived in the early hours of the next morning, only to be beaten back by winds raging in excess of 60 knots (110kmh) and ferocious 6–8 metre swells.
HMNZS Wellington was the first to join the
search but faced extreme conditions and winds.

What followed was a week-long international search effort covering vast areas of ocean and ice at the bottom of New Zealand's 30 million square kilometre search and rescue region. It was the southern-most search and rescue effort ever coordinated by RCCNZ.
Braving extreme weather conditions, including the worst blizzard experienced in the summer season in the area for many years, the vessels Professor Khromov (also operating as Spirit of Enderby) and Steve Irwin answered the call from RCCNZ. They joined the search, combing the area for any trace of Berserk.
Thankfully, improved weather conditions allowed crews in smaller boats and a helicopter crew from Steve Irwin to continue to search, with refuelling and logistical support from nearby McMurdo and Scott bases. Help also came from the Norwegian Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC).
The general manager of MNZ Safety Services, Nigel Clifford, says despite these dedicated efforts, the only trace of Berserk's presence was a small, round battered liferaft found almost 3 days later, drifting 45 nautical miles (83km) north of the original beacon alert position.
"Inside, the first aid kit and survival knife were missing, but, unfortunately, there was no sign of anyone or any evidence the raft had ever been occupied," Nigel says. "This was supported by further evidence that indicated the raft had floated free from the vessel by itself."

recover the Berserk liferaft.

Finally, after 7 days of searching with no further sign of Berserk or the three missing men, the difficult decision was made to formally suspend the search.
"Sadly, given the absence of any further sign of the vessel or crew, combined with the extreme weather conditions and near-freezing temperatures experienced in the Ross Sea at the time, it had gone beyond the point where we could reasonably expect anyone to be found alive," Nigel says. "Our deepest sympathies are with the families of the three men."
He also paid tribute to those who had helped in the search. "This was a truly international search and rescue effort, with people and agencies from a host of different countries banding together to try to find Berserk and its crew. We particularly want to acknowledge the courageous and dedicated efforts of crews from the three search vessels and helicopter involved, who selflessly put themselves on the line to help out. Tragically, our best efforts were in vain."
The calculated search area covered more than 25,000 square kilometres, and the three vessels and helicopter put in 141 hours of combined search time over 7 days, making it one of the most extensive searches conducted in the area.

Note: All times are in New Zealand Daylight Time
5pm: RCCNZ detects signal from distress beacon registered to Norwegian sailboat Berserk, 27 nautical miles (50 km) north of Scott Base in the Ross Sea. Signal ceases about 45 minutes later.
Attempts to communicate with Berserk via regular broadcasts on maritime radio and satellite phone begin and continue throughout the search.
RCCNZ contacts Royal New Zealand Navy vessel HMNZS Wellington and asks it to divert to the signal's position. Heavy seas hamper the ship's progress.
3am: Wellington reaches the search area and completes search plan provided by RCCNZ. It then leaves the area due to extreme conditions.
RCCNZ tasks the vessels Steve Irwin and Professor Khromov (also known as Spirit of Enderby), both about 24 hours away, to assist in the search effort.

7am: Steve Irwin arrives in search area and commences aerial and on-water searching according to search plan provided by RCCNZ.
7.30am: Steve Irwin locates liferaft reportedly lost from Wellington.
1pm: RCCNZ makes contact with Berserk captain Jarle Andhoy and crewman Samuel Massie, who have been making their way to the South Pole on all-terrain vehicles. Both are safe.
4pm: Professor Khromov joins Steve Irwin in the search.
The search continues throughout the day.
Professor Khromov resumes its journey towards Antarctica, but continues searching as it goes.
Steve Irwin continues aerial and on-water searching.
9am: Steve Irwin locates unoccupied and damaged liferaft later determined to have come from Berserk about 45 nautical miles north of the yacht's original distress signal position and in the middle of the search area determined by RCCNZ. There is no sign the liferaft was ever occupied.
Searching resumes and continues throughout the day.
8am: Steve Irwin continues searching, focusing on an area around Franklin Island at the head of McMurdo Sound.
11am: Steve Irwin stands down its helicopter after 21 hours of aerial searching and begins its voyage northward to Hobart. It continues searching along coastline as it travels north and trying to reach Berserk by radio.
9pm: Steve Irwin formally released from search.
10.45am: Professor Khromov officially released after searching on return journey from Antarctica, but continues to maintain lookout as it voyages to Terra Nova Bay.
4.30pm: RCCNZ officially suspends search efforts after three vessels and one aircraft total 141 search hours, with a calculated search area of 25,600km2 of ocean and ice.

Hiro & Company (DBA Den Corner Restaurants), with Roth Sheppard Architects and Jordy Construction, unveil the new Izakaya Den this month. The first floor opens to public the end of May, with the second floor debuting in mid-June.
Izakaya Den maintains the spirit of the original Izakaya Den with an extensive sushi menu, global kitchen selection and new Izakaya-style small plates. The new Chef de Cuisine, Scott Hybbeneth, worked closely with Master Chef Toshi Kizaki to create a signature global menu. The menu encompasses Japanese techniques and traditions blended with contemporary flavors along with Izakaya Den's signature fresh and expansive seafood selection.
The restaurant team devoted the same amount of energy to the wine, cocktail and sake menu. Months were spent with wine professionals from Southern Wine & Spirits along with national mixologists to create thoughtful wine and cocktail lists paired seamlessly with Japanese cuisine. Toshi Kizaki has curated one of the top sake lists in the country, which now includes sake-centric cocktails.
Designed by Toshi Kizaki and Roth Sheppard Architects, the new Izakaya Den's multi-level interior features a lush bamboo garden juxtaposed by a glass enclosed elevator and grand staircase leading up to the second floor. The lower level gives way to an ample dining space, a signature sushi bar, a communal table, and intimate private dining areas divided by repurposed sliding screen walls from the original Izakaya Den space.
Relocated design pieces from the original Izakaya Den include red lacquer wall boxes, lanterns made of antique Kimono fabric, bamboo partitions, and custom made chairs from Japan. These traditional elements coupled with newly crafted wood walls, wood beam ceilings, and steel and slate accents create a dynamic environment for guests. The restaurant will offer seating for 250 guests encompassing the first and second floors including the terrace.
The second level of the new restaurant will open in mid June and feature intimate dining areas, a cocktail lounge and full bar with a retractable glass ceiling offering sky views and open air during warm weather months. An additional patio will offer true al fresco dining. Together, these innovative design elements offer a garden in the sky atmosphere.
The new Izakaya Den is located at 1487-A South Pearl Street and open for dinner Tuesday through Saturday and lunch Saturday and Sunday. Reservations may be made by visiting the website http://www.izakayaden.net/ or calling 303-777-0691.

Wayne Shorter: Black Nile
Black Nile
Wayne Shorter (tenor sax)
Night Dreamer (Blue Note)
Wayne Shorter (tenor sax), Lee Morgan (trumpet), McCoy Tyner (piano), Reggie Workman (bass), Elvin Jones (drums).
Composed by Wayne Shorter.
Recorded: April 29, 1964
Rating: 91/100 (learn more)
1964 was a magical year for Wayne Shorter. His sheer musical output is astounding during this period, as is the volume of greatness he produced with his Blue Note albums. "Black Nile" is no exception. Shorter and company are joined by Lee Morgan, who adds spice to this already tasty jazz entrée. It's too bad Morgan didn't appear on every album Wayne did, since he complements the Coltrane rhythm section perfectly and, when combined with Shorter, forms one of the best horn duos on wax.

Kiss Bank Of America's $8.5 Billion RMBS Settlement Goodbye?
- Printer-friendly version
- Jul 12, 2011 3:10 PM
- 50
Score for the peasants.
maybe someone should investigate all those billions of "build america bonds".
Taxpayer Funded Bridge For San Francisco Bay Being Built In Shanghai
"THE ISSUE WHICH HAS SWEPT DOWN THE CENTURIES AND WHICH WILL HAVE TO BE FOUGHT SOONER OR LATER, IS THE PEOPLE VERSUS THE BANKS" - Lord Acton - 1834-1902.
Agree! Who cracks first: BAC or C?
F BAC hard and with something LARGE
Check that chart...10.8 million shares dumped in five minutes...an nary a flinch on the price, remaining in a 7 cent range. So much for supply and demand. Doesn't work here in the "new normal."
I wonder if Ben Bernanke is loading up on shares of Blight on America bank?
is it coming off their good book, or bad book?
Eric Schneiderman is gunna get them
I say we use the scorched earth treatment on these mother fuckers. Fuck 'em and feed 'em fish heads. I say shut the cocksuckers down and throw every last one of the pricks in to prison. I'm talking about the federal pen in Angola, not the club fed in Pensacola.
A couple of years getting ass raped and having their mouth used like a vagina will teach them a good lesson.
Yikes...raising the bar on hatred for bankers. I did not think the popularity of this group could go lower.
Cue J. Dimon whining about how hard it is to be a millionaire banker!
Ancona, Do not sugar coat it! How do you really feel? PS a pound or two in the joint would be good, teach 'em charecter.
Wonderful rant, though maybe a little understated.
Executive Summary: BOA will pay $8.5b now and $5.5b later to resolve losses of $221b on principal of $424b. But this only resolves the servicing-related claims, it does not resolve the claims for losses under the securities laws.
The important thing here is to look at the total losses: 52%
Extrapolated across the securitizations that remain outstanding, how much unrealized systemic loss does this 52% amount to? Trillions?? The entire banking system will need to be recapitalized.
H/T George Washington...
The quote of the day comes from Damon Silvers, a member of the independent Congressional Oversight Panel:
"We are faced with a choice here.
We can either have a rational resolution to the foreclosure crisis or we can preserve the capital structure of the banks. We can't do both."
Hmmmmm.....justice or the continuation of fraud, malfesance, corruption, criminal activity and fascism. Hmmmmmmm......
BAC is at the very heart of the empire stateside. The BCCI's brother in arms. The Slush Fund Buddy to linen laundering kinds. Ugly.
It will be one of the last to be assimilated.
Obama & Timmay need money.
The banks have money...
How long before they connect the dots?
Right again, Tyler? Speaking from experiance, I'm guessing your friends don't talk to you either?
They just double post.
I'd make an offer right now for BAC for the grand total of $1....but even then after writing off the bad crap on their books (which would eliminate both equity and debt) the FDIC would still have to step in to compete the transaction
Guess someone's state budget didn't get enough of a kick back.
I will give $1.01 for BAC. I always wanted a penthouse with a helicopter pad.
OK OK OK I am finally all abroad the GOLD train . the chart looks good, for GLD' the miners seem to have bottom...the metal seems about to explode to 1650....
This guy Schneiderman has potential...
New and improved Spitzer? um er eh
Until the banks pull a Spitzer on him.
nifty update :::
someone should ask Ken Lewis what he thinks
Why does this BOA story have a foul odor?
Reminds me of Ken Lewis & Paulson showdown.
Justice? Will believe it when I see it. But, a start.
One thing you've got to remember about Bank of America, and that is that it is the 'Vatican Bank'. And as such is, has, and always will be in the cross hairs of the devils that run America. Paulson tried taking them down my by force feeding them Merrill and that didn't work, but that won't stop them until they've consumed it whole. That's why all of the 2B3Fails have got to go.
They are all insolvent. Those who think they are not, will know better when they are given back their Maiden Lane and other such bullshit paper and we take back the Treasury's they received in exchange. It doesn't matter, all their bosses and their affilliated Primary Dealers and Hedge Funds are going to jail compliments of the RICO Act.
You think I'm shitting you, don't you? But it's true, and it's all in the New American Revolution, and every voting American has a front row ticket.
Well, fuck the Vatican, too. Damn boy molesting Nazi sympathizers.
George Carlin - The Owners of America
Am I too cynical to wonder if the NY AG's buyout price is less than BAC's potential liabilities?
When the Bankers go to Jail
the bible tells us not to steal
it's there in black and white
our laws are based upon it too
do not do wrong - do right
but somehow since these laws were writ
we've seen the system fail
but things will change for all the best
when the bankers go to jail
when the bankers go to jail my friends
when the bankers go to jail
we'll finally see justice done
when the bankers go to jail
when the vampire squid has been deep-fried
in the slime of Bernank's words
when politicians tell the truth
and not be lying turds
when "austerity" applies to them
and fairness does prevail
we'll finally see justice done
and the bankers go to jail
when the bankers go to jail ee-hah
when the bankers go to jail
we'll all be dancing in the streets
when the bankers go to jail
if all was as it ought to be
when any business fails
investors take a haircut
amid their tears and wails
but in our mean kleptocracy
that the MSM does hail
the working man pays all the bills
and no banker goes to jail
when the bankers go to jail thank God
when the bankers go to jail
the haircuts will be number ones
when the bankers go to jail
we're predators i must admit
it's human nature too
to seek a better living for
our wives and children too
but animals we're not you see
it not just fine detail
we keep the law, control ourselves
and the bankers go to jail
yes you bankers go to jail you scum
all you bankers go to jail
you'll be some brother's jail-house bitch
when you bankers go to jail
you may think it's a silly dream
to think of their demise
they're oh so very powerful
and every banker lies
but one day soon we'll overthrow
and have them by the tail
we'll tar and feather all of them
and send them all to jail
when the bankers go to jail for good
when the bankers go to jail
we'll hear the bells of freedom ring
when the bankers go to jail
Wow, love this! I hope you don't mind, but I copied it over to livinglies wordpress site - I thought it would give good cheer to some folks fighting the banksters. I did give you credit of course : )
What is the tempo? is it a rap or to when Johnny comes marching home?
Wait....All aboard the Bribery/Black Mail bus...plenty of room for civic leaders to hop aboard. Hey with HDTV and A/C (and Booze/Babes)we're going places.... you can too Mr/Ms DA/Regulator.

Need Information?
Introduced in 2005, the St. Luke's Trauma Fellowship has since expanded into both a 2-year Surgical Critical Care Fellowship for Emergency Medicine graduates, and a 1-year Fellowship for graduates of Surgical Programs. In 2012, the fellowship was awarded ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) accreditation, and was approved by the American Board of Surgery to include Surgical Critical Care into our curriculum and training. We are one of the first institutions to offer a 2-year track for a Surgical Critical Care Fellowship for Emergency Medicine residency graduates approved by the American Board of Surgery.
The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship is based chiefly at St. Luke's University Health Network's main campus in Bethlehem, PA. The goal of the Fellowship is to provide fellows with a leading-edge learning experience through a carefully designed curriculum, clinical exposure and research opportunities. This educational approach results in graduates of the fellowship and develops leaders in the field of Trauma and Critical Care.
The faculty of the Surgical Critical Care Fellowship is composed of seven surgical intensivists, who use a team approach to patient-focused, evidence-based care. The fellow will learn vital aspects of managing the critically ill/injured patient. Upon completion of the program, the fellow will be able to demonstrate competency in the areas of diagnostic and treatment plans, patient care management and leadership of a multidisciplinary trauma team.
The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship program at St. Luke's University Hospital is proud to announce that our 2014 graduates, Dr. Charles Bendas, MD and Dr. Brandon Fumanti, MD are the first Emergency Medicine trained physicians in the country to become board certified in Surgical Critical Care.
The Surgical Critical Care Fellowship offers two tracks:

Just recently Home and Living received a Waring Belgian Waffle Maker to "test drive". The Waring company has been around since 1937 and we remember them as coveted products in our mother's kitchen. The products had the reputation of being built "like a Sherman tank".
First of all the unit is quite good-looking; like something you would find in a commercial, professional kitchen. We took the opportunity to prepare the batter as was listed in the accompanying manual and were surprised the recipe called for an active yeast product (see photos in slideshow). You can download the Instruction Booklet from the website here: http://www.waringpro.com/catalog.php?pcID=143&product_id=571
Some of the features we like:
- It has deep pockets but they are non-stick and the waffles easy to remove.
- The timer is incredible; we started with the recommended number 5 setting and they are brown and crunchy—we did readjust to number 4. A blue LED light tells you when your waffle is ready.
- There is a drip tray to catch any batter and they enclose a black cup, where if you use it, makes the perfect-sized waffle.
- The pockets are deep to catch syrup, berries or whatever you wish.
- The batter actually gets flipped on its head but the turn mechanism is a no-brainer and no way to turn it wrong.
- We have the round shape but there is also a square model.
- It is stainless steel and black and very impressive looking on the countertop.
"...being built "like a Sherman tank"
We wouldn't hesitate to make these for a ladies brunch (let them choose their own toppings), or if your children have a lot of overnights or pajamas parties, breakfast with waffles will make your house the one to visit!
It retails for $59.95

Here is the recipe we used from the book:
Classic Belgian Waffles
Classic Belgian waffles have a crispy outside and are soft and moist on the inside. Try these waffles with your favorite syrup or a topping, such as fresh strawberries and freshly whipped cream.
Makes approx. 10 waffles
1½ cups water (375ml) (divided)
2¼ teaspoons (one packet) active dry yeast
¹/³ cup (5g) sugar
3 cups (300g) sifted flour
¼ teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, separated + 1 egg white

The image of President Barack Obama as America's modern day Nero is Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson's image. He testily spews he is "sitting on the sidelines" in the Ukraine and Gaza crises. He is little more that "President Nero" fiddling "while the world burns," Sen. Ron Johnson charged Friday.
Sen. Johnson is not alone in this political assessment of the president. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he ridiculed the president for his incredulous continuation to a New York political fundraiser Thursday night. It was mere hours before that he had gotten the horrific news of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, as well as Israel's push into Gaza.
Most Washington insiders would call that a major foreign policy day for the US. The president did not blink when he headed from his appearance in Delaware straight to the fundraiser, just as he did after hearing of the Benghazi attack in September, 2012. The only difference was the rubber chicken dinner was in Las Vegas.
"I'm hoping Americans are watching as President Nero fiddles while the world burns," Johnson told "The Steve Malzberg Show," He continued, "It is outrageous that we have the ground operations conducted in Gaza, we have an airliner knocked out of the sky, blown out of the sky, over Ukraine, and President Obama takes off for fundraisers in New York."
There are few in Washington uncertain that the attack was carried out by Russian surrogates with Russian supplied sophisticated weapons. Under the watchful eye of expansionist Russian leader President Vladimir Putin, this is a Russian wrong with no one to frame for it.
According to Sen. Johnson, "We have to back up the words with real action. That's something this president has utterly refused to do. The person to blame here is Vladimir Putin, but it's our lack of resolve, it's our lack of a strong response that continues to give him the signal that he can continue to act in this barbaric way with impunity."
As Putin supplies his private army with these state-of-the-art weapons, the US provides field meals for soldiers. "If you give a hand grenade to a bunch of monkeys and that hand grenade goes off, who's responsible for the damage that hand grenade inflicts? It really is the person who hands the people the weapons, and that's Vladimir Putin," Johnson said.
The senator's solution to this crisis is common sense. He says, "rebuild its military. Allow President Petro Poroshenko to gain control over his borders and over eastern Ukraine. He's not going to be able to do that if we sit quietly on the sidelines and provide things like ready-to-eat meals, radios, first aid kits, sleeping mats, and uniform items, It's got to have Vladimir Putin shaking in his boots."
The question is why waste any more time to supply the Ukrainians? Now that Europe can see the intent Putin has and his quest for the old Soviet Union to return, it's time to rearm and prepare.
The ghost of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain allowing Adolph Hitler to continue his land grabs one at a time is the sort of appeasement in this nuclear era that will involve the Europeans a great deal more than the US in terms of smaller wars becoming bigger ones.
Is America's Nero going to continue to withdraw from the harsh realities of a very dangerous world with mere words and weak sanctions against a tyrant who will not stop until he is taken to the woodshed by American leadership. Is it there?

Category: Books, The Vampire Diaries TV
Was just taking a gander at the official CW Vampire Diaries page and was thrilled to spot this at the bottom of the About section:
That's right, you can read The Awakening in its entirety for free over at HarperTeen. This may have been there for a while, but it's the first we've noticed it, so – very cool! This is also our first look at the inside pages and it looks like the typography carries over from the 2007 omnibus editions, with the only notable difference being the use of the TV series' font on the title page.
And a reminder that the new single-volume editions of The Awakening and The Struggle (with TV tie-in covers) come out this Tuesday, August 25th!
Another interesting tidbit: Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood Daily had a post yesterday about "awareness studies" run by Nielsen, and while there are all sorts of caveats that come with it, the results for The Vampire Diaries are interesting. Read the post over at DHD for the context.

Enjoyed the DSO and Kid on Saturday evening. I suggest making it an annual event. My wife and I will attend each year. Great job.
Will there be a recording of the concert available for purchase?
Ive seen Kid and the DSO many times before, it was one of the most memorable. Maybe the DSO would like to "Chill in 2013″ with us? Thank you , my daughter and I had a wonderful time.
EXCELLENT news for the DSO and the community.
Much continued success to the DSO and Detroit.
God Bless
Love the DSO, Love Kid Rock. What a great opportunity to see them perform together. My husband and I enjoyed our evening at the Fox very much!

Guzman Named Nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year
June 28, 2011
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech senior Michelle Guzman along with Abby Vock of Missouri have been named nominees for the 21st annual NCAA Woman of the Year award by the Big 12 Conference.
The award honors senior student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, service and leadership. Nominees represent all three NCAA divisions.
Guzman was a member of the Texas Tech cross country squad that won its third straight Big 12 title in 2010. The team then recorded a program-best third-place finish at the NCAA Division I Cross Country Championships. She also competed in the 5,000M during indoor track & field and the 10,000M during outdoor track & field.
The Giddings, Texas native was a three-time Academic All-Big 12 honoree for both cross country and track & field, and was named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll for five semesters.
Guzman served as president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Board, a team captain and was active in FCA. She helped organize Red Raider Play Day, a project held for local children of Lubbock and spoke to children at a local elementary school about the importance of physical fitness. Additional projects included participating in a Student-Athlete Talent Show that benefitted Special Olympics and serving as a Salvation Army Bell Ringer.
Vock earned 2011 All-Big 12 first team honors on the Tigers softball squad that captured the Big 12 title and advanced to the Women's College World Series for the third consecutive year. She led the league with a .786 slugging percentage during conference-only games while also registering the sixth-best batting average (.357), third-most homeruns (5), third-highest on-base percentage (.460) and eighth-most total bases (33).
The second baseman was awarded Missouri's Unsung Hero Award in 2011 while serving as a team captain for the third season. Vock was a three-time Academic All-Big 12 selection and named to both the Commissioner's Honor Roll and College of Business Dean's List eight semesters. The Morrison, Ill., native also received Magna Cum Laude honors.
Vock's community service projects included volunteering at the Columbia Food Bank, University of Missouri Children's Hospital and CASA Youth Softball Clinic. The NCAA Woman of the Year selection committee will choose the top 10 nominees in each division. From among those 30 honorees, the selection committee will determine its top three in each division. Finally, the members of the Committee on Women's Athletics will vote from among the top nine to determine the 2011 NCAA Woman of the Year.
The top 10 honorees from Divisions I, II and III will be honored, and the 2011 NCAA Woman of the Year announced in October.

In the animated film "Rio 2," bird spouses Jewel (voiced by Oscar winner Anne Hathaway) and Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg), along with their three kids, leaving their domesticated life in that magical city for a journey to the Amazon. They encounter a menagerie of characters who are born to be wild, voiced by Andy Garcia, Oscar winner Rita Moreno, Bruno Mars and Kristin Chenoweth.
Other actors in the all-star voice cast of "Rio 2" include George Lopez, Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, will.i.am, Jemaine Clement, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Mann, Bruno Mars, Rodrigo Santoro, Janelle Monáe and Natalie Morales. Here is what these "Rio 2" co-stars said in an interview at the movie's press junket in Miami.
What can you say about "Rio 2"?
Garcia: I play the patriarch of the blue birds in the Amazon: a guy by the name of Eduardo, who is Blu's father. And that's as much as I'd like to reveal, because everything else is a surprise.
Eisenberg: In this movie, they [Blu and Jewel] are married, they have three kids. And a big change for them, interrupting their quiet, private life, is that they discover there are more of their kind in the Amazon. Jewel convinces Blu that they should find these birds and meet their family.
Hathaway: My character Jewel, in the first film, she's kind of had a bit of a rough go of it. She lost her family when she was very young and has been surviving on her own. She's kind of developed a tough edge, a wall around herself. Maybe she's turned her heart to ice a little bit, but Blu has unfrozen it. So at the end of the film, they're in love and have kids.
The second film picks up where the first film left off. She's got a happy life, but she does miss where she's from. She does not want to see her kids grow up too domesticated, with too many human traits. She wants them to get back to their roots to figure out who they really are.
And so, when they hear that there may be more birds like them in the Amazon, they go off on this adventure. And when they arrive, they find out that the opposite of what she believed to be true is true, and her family is alive.
Foxx: I play Nico in this movie. I play a little yellow bird. I just love playing birds.
Lopez: I play Raphael, the leader of Carnival. I play the surveyor of all fun … and a good friend to Luiz [voiced by Tracy Morgan].
What makes the "Rio 2" sequel special?
Lopez: I think it starts with Carlos [Saldanha], the director. To have everybody come back, to have great characters, I think everybody who worked on this movie realizes how passionate he is about this, what it means to him, being from Brazil. And that's infectious in all of us. We don't want to do a bad job. And also, we know that he loves it so much. To see the first ["Rio" movie] succeed, you want this one to do as well or better than you expect it to.
Morgan: It's good chemistry. When you see all these great artists and actors getting together, doing one thing, you can't go wrong. It's a great movie, great music, colorful and inspiring.
Besides your own character, who's your favorite character in "Rio 2"?
Lopez: I like the little toad.
Foxx: I like Nigel.
Morgan: I like [Pedro, voiced by] Will.i.am. He's funny.

Steele Wasik has never been so happy with a fourth-place finish.
The Medina resident set four personal records, which included breaking the American junior decathlon record in the 110-meter hurdles, en route to a banner day at the USATF Championships at Sacramento State University.
"The meet was everything I had hoped it would be," Wasik said. "And in terms of my finish and my total points, I am extremely proud. It is so difficult to complete a decathlon — let alone try and be your best at every event — so coming out with almost 7,300 points is awesome."
Wasik compiled 7,286 points and was one of eight competitors in the rugged field to score 7,000 or better. Harrison Williams came away with the title with 7,734.
With his performance, the recent St. Edward graduate and UCLA recruit earned a spot in the Pan American Games to be held this year in Ottawa. According to Wasik, other meets could be a possibility before the summer comes to a close.
Wasik, who represented the West Akron Track Club, opened the two-day event with top-five finishes in four of the first five competitions. He was fourth in the 100 in a personal-best time of 10.88 before placing third in the long jump with career-best 23 feet, 4½ inches. The Gatorade Ohio Track and Field Athlete of the Year rounded out his day with the shot put (5th place, 43-8), high jump (8th, 6-2¾) and 400 (5th, 49.33).
None of those events compared to what happened in the 110 hurdles.
Wasik cruised to easy win over Cerritos College's Thomas Cheval, clocking 14.09 to break the national hurdles record in decathlon.
"The national hurdle record tells me that I'm doing something right, and to actually comprehend that I set it will take some time," he said. "The race was fluid and I didn't press, and honestly it was just muscle memory. That is my event, and I proved it then and there."
Wasik had one more PR in him after his 170-9 took fourth in the javelin. He also competed in the discus (9th, 117-1), pole vault (12th, 12-1½) and 1,500 run (8th, 4:50.59).
Almost better than breaking career marks was competing alongside some of the top track and field athletes in the country.
It was hard not to get star-struck.
"It was also super cool to see all the pro runners I've looked up to over the years," Wasik said. "I was able to meet and take pictures with a few like Sanya Richards-Ross and Mary Caine.
"Lolo Jones was also missing a pin for her bib number, so I took one of mine off after the 1,500 and handed it to her. Lolo is wearing my pin."

When you send you kids to school, you are expecting your kids to be educated on many topics. History is one subject that teaches kids about what happened during the generation before they were even born -- or longer. In this case a middle school teacher who's just doing his job ends up being suspended for showing a video about what was happening in the entertainment world in the 19th century … when white actors wore blackface to portray black characters.
Today, Yahoo news reports that Alan Barron, a 59-year-old middle school history teacher in a small-town southeastern Michigan, was placed on paid administrative leave. Reason for the suspension? He was teaching his students about past stereotypes, when white actors painted their faces black to imitate black people. By showing the video about the matter to his eighth grade students, the assistant principal of the school observed the subject of the day racial segregation laws which was related during the Jim Crow era; the video was included within the lesson, and Barron was asked to turn it off.
According to reports, parents were outraged about the incident of suspending Barron for teaching what had actually happened during the time period. The assistant principal felt that Barron's lesson about how entertainers used to be racist was itself racist. While one parent felt differently.
"It had nothing to do with racism," Adrienne Aaron said who has a daughter in the class. "History is history. We need to educate our kids to see how far we've come in America. How is that racism?"
The parent also added that Barron is one of the best teachers they had and could not believe that this is taken place. School district spokesman, Bob Vergiels, had expressed and refusing to say that Barron was suspended. Instead, Vergiels simply states that he is "on leave."
"Mr. Barron has been on leave for about a week while we look into a reported situation in his classroom," the school district statement reads. "Because this is a personnel matter that is going through the teacher-contract required steps, we cannot comment any further."
The 59-year-old teacher has been teaching within the local school district for a little more than three decades and was slated to retire in just two weeks before the incident took place. The truth the matter is, there is nothing wrong about teaching about stereotypes and what happened in the past when it contains the matter of white entertainers wore blackface. After all, it is considered history.
