NEW YORK -- It was a
full supper of dance last night at the Joyce, opening night for
the Martha Graham Dance Company, and the program/menu was expansive!
The company's repertory for this two-week run is large, and there
are plenty of program
Act One last night was
a quintet of dances from the 1920s and '30s, mostly solos, which
were presumably Martha Graham's proving-ground. Ground-breaking
stuff, which I'll break down for you by dance:
"FRONTIER": A deliciously
simple set with its diagonally stretched ropes as a horizon framed
a woman's figure. She is at a fence, a squared-off corner on an
endless ranch. Elizabeth Auclair floated, all easy battements and
eager in the sunshine -- mostly. The deep clouds were already there
in Graham's sensibility, and the soloist here does deflate momentarily
(but with great core strength!) and is wracked by contractions.
A perfect overture for the concert.
"DEEP SONG": She is
sitting on a long white bench. She is bothered, agitated, moved.
Between she and us, Patrick Daugherty teases compelling music (Henry
Cowell) from his piano. Alessandra Prosperi was a dynamo onstage,
very strong and sure. This is a taut piece, a restless woman in
deep feeling, and the dancing was right on the money, even partnering
that bench.
Vintage Graham. The curtain rises to reveal Erica Dankmeyer far
upstage, jumping in sideways arches with her back toward us, blonde
hair cascading loose. It's arresting right off, and the quirkiness
of Ms. Dankmeyer's bourees, wiggles, and hair-tosses elicited grins
and giggles from us all. It's a great rhythm dance work, simply
and interestingly composed in an off-balance way, to solo flute
music (kudos to Allison Potter.) Love the hair, a welcome opposition
to some absurdly big hairbuns worn in other dances!
"LAMENTATION": The costume
and choreography are, in conjunction with the lighting, a perfect
illustration of the relentless torque of Graham's work. Kodaly's
piano music further surrounded the fabric-engulfed Katherine Crockett
on her bench. She's obscured by her costume, but maybe that just
pulls our focus in. As Crockett spirals and stretches, the sculpture
constantly changes, and she is utterly focused.
Her eventual standing
(a rising wail?) is glorious, as she seems to just keep unfolding.
"HERETIC": A real oldie
-- premiered in 1929! I had long ago read a description of this
one, and it was really cool to finally see it. Then, it sounded
like a classic vehicle for Martha, where she could be protagonist
against the strength-in-numbers of her budding ensemble -- a simple
illustration of the idealist vs. the masses. They are in black,
and the Individual wears white. She keeps to the foreground.
Perhaps as a byproduct
of Graham's training and her school -- by her very success -- the
effect tonight might have been different than the original, because
I barely noticed Fang Yi Sheu -- no discredit to her, but this ensemble
is so good I couldn't look away! Their tautness was total, without
repose, and their unison work quite impressively woven with the
music (a repeated four-staff phrase, a little odd, original composer
Act Two:
This one's a killer! Elemental, involving the virulent rise of fear,
it's as tense a piece as I know. Gian Carlo Menotti's electrifying
music is a huge reason why, with that intense piano left hand and
the cry of the brass responding, the pulse of the woodwinds. In
a filmed interview, Martha Graham recounted how in a prolonged bout
of turbulence on an airplane, she had mentally run through the dance
several times to quell the fear of crashing, and rightly so. As
Ariadne in the mythic maze Ms. Auclair was repeatedly beset by Gary
Galbraith as the Minotaur, and more significantly by her terror
of those encounters, those taut skirmishes, after which she soars
in lyric relief. It looks to be a devilish piece to dance, full
of musical exactitude and long-phrase strength as well as frequent
textural shifts. The Minotaur is quite encumbered by design, and
his unusual costuming leads to some very tricky business, especially
in partnering.
And then there was "MAPLE
LEAF RAG": Created in 1990 and Graham's last dance, it's a splash
of sunshine, a rare bit of mirth in this Dance Goddess's world.
How fresh and spunky the cast looked, charging out from the wings,
and how beautifully they attacked this work. Miki Orihara and Tadej
Brdnik lead the evening's largest group through this witty tour
de force of easy virtuosity (or rather, virtuosity with ease.) The
Scott Joplin music seems such an un-Martha choice for stage work,
simply rhythmic and infectiously familiar, but the dancers all seemed
to relish its bounce and charge. I've loved this dance on video
for years, and this was better. The stage explodes with great dance
architecture, and this was the only piece where the Joyce's floorspace
seemed truly stretched to the seams.
Act Three:
"DARK MEADOW": I was
really surprised to see this work had such a long-ago premiere,
1948, as I pegged it as a product of a late-era Graham from this
viewing. Not to smudge the cast -- the luminous Christine Dakin
and the sleek panther Martin Lofsnes had to put in long stretches
of stage-time and did as well as the material seemed to allow. That
said, I was put off by the meandering nature of "Dark Meadow" --
by the excesses of decor and prop stuff and the rather blunt way
of using the soloists and ensemble. The tone or narrative of She
Who Seeks et al eluded me before long, and even the wonderful intrusion
of the ensemble's rhythm and choreographic vigor seemed dulled by
the slavish unison. There were props and statues and cloth everywhere,
and the profundity of everything also seemed perpetually pulled
down -- it's a long dance -- by the meandering score ("La Hija de
Colquide" by Carlos Chavez). They all seemed doomed by the music's
inertia, or a reluctance to edit the dance.
Make no mistake about
the music though: all night it was live, and very tight as conducted
by MGDC music director Aaron Sherber.
On the technical side,
I loved the costuming for almost every piece: design, execution,
maintenance. The decor and the costumes are also co-existent works
of art with the dances and dancers of Graham, and these clothes
are cool -- my faves are the ones designed by Martha. I didn't really
get much impression of lighting; nothing too daring on this program.
Graham's longtime set designer, sculptor Isamu Noguchi, contributed
his odd and engrossing shapes to almost all of the works on this
program, though sadly I could not find his bio in the evening's
Graham may not be your
cup o' tea, but this is work dance insiders should see, and especially
now. Graham's company is a phoenix rising, an endangered species
back from the brink -- and, after all, doesn't her work inform (toward/away)
much of what we are as dancers even now? The MGDC dancers shine
in the repertory, with everything so clean and in their bones, dancing
with a lot of focus and passion. It was a very full program with
great live music throughout, and the proximity of Joyce seats to
the stage is a big big big plus in revealing the dancers in the
To sum up, I'll say:
Go to this! And also, I will look forward to seeing Alicia Mosier's
DI review of the season. Stay tuned for that, but grab tickets now!
Tom Patrick, the Dance Insider's senior writer, currently works
with the Metropolitan Opera as a dancer and dance captain. From
1989 to 1999 he was a proud and hungry member of the Paul Taylor
Dance Company.

TC TO ALEXANDER CARLYLE; 12 January 1822; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18220112-TC-AC-01; CL 2:7-10.
3. Moray-street, Saturday-evening [12 January 1822].
My dear Alick,
I received your letter—one of the longest and best you ever sent me—with the same feelings of thankfulness and pleasure which I always experience on hearing from you; and tho' getting very misty by this long sederunt [sitting], I design to fill this sheet for you before I give up. You do well to persevere in Cobbett: perseverance is a cardinal virtue—the support of every other, and the habit of it cannot be acquired except by making a point of exercising the quality as yet new to us, upon every honest undertaking we engage with. A man without perseverance—tho' bright as the sun—is useless as a Jack o' Lanthorn. The small worm on the coasts of the Mediterranean perforates a rock of flint by continued application; your fiery tiger would crunch his teeth to pieces on it instantly, and go off howling, without even breaking the surface. For the sake of perseverance, therefore, persevere; and still more for the sake of what your perseverance is directed to. Grammar in writing is like fingers and arms in a manual trade; many who have them work indifferently, none who has them not can work at all. It makes me very glad to see what proficiency you are making daily. If once this grammar were mastered, you would write with a fluency and ease before unknown. I predict that this will surely happen; and that your letters will be among the most manly and spirited I read. Frank and independant like a true man's, sarcastic and humorous and rational—all this is before you if you like. As to the exercises,1 you must wait till next opportunity: in the mean time you cannot do better than for the sake of practice, to take up any book—the Spectator say—and strike into some sentence of it, and apply your rules for parsing it. Take even this scrawl of mine: try if you can say what part of speech this word is, what part that; why they are so not otherwise; what they agree with, govern or are governed by. Consult Jack or me whenever you are in doubt. Your spelling approaches fast to perfection: I notice the word ackward; it should be awkward: but there are scarcely any more such instances.
I have told my Father and Mother almost all that is worth telling and unknown to you in my situation here. I was at Kirkcaldy the week before last; and spent two days jannering [talking idly] and eating dinners with the good people. Mr Martin 2 the minister offered me the Editorship of a Dundee Newspaper—£100 a-year, and a percentage on the profits;3 but my ambition to become a Knight of the Paragraph was very small, and I had nae wull o' t [no inclination toward it]. The minister is a kind man, and true stuff to the core. After returning I set to a criticism on Faust,4 which the Review people were wanting. They have now agreed to pass it till next number, and I go on more leisurely. I shall send it whenever it is printed; tho' it will be very poor, being written on a subject which I have never expressed myself about before, and hence with no small difficulty. It will be far too good however, for the place it is going to. The dogs have paid me nothing yet—nothing but smiles, and fair words, which being hollow are worse than none.
While I was busy with this, Irving's letter came; about their Tutorship—for which see my Father and mother's letters. I accepted of it the same night; I mean the trial of it. He would get my answer to-day. I have some hopes from the thing: but we can do either way. Irving is to be in Annan, I understand, very shortly. He seems to have raised the waters yonder; they like him as well as you and Ben Nelson do.5
My Father asked about Johnstone; but I have no tidings of him. I wrote "as soon as I was settled"—under cover to D. Hope—for I knew James' address imperfectly, requesting an immed[iate] answer. None came: and whether Johnstone is out of the body or in the body I cannot at present tell. I suspect the latter, tho' laziness makes it inconvenient for him to say so.
As to Waugh,6 he is certainly to the fore. Daily in the college-yard (which I visit about once a quarter) he is to be seen trailing his carcase along, heavy any way—and now heavier by the addition of a tartan dreadnought, which at all hours, in every weather, sunshine as well as storm, he bears about with him. When I saw him last with it, he stooped very much and was so broad above, he looked like a walking pair of bellows, or a shoulder of mutton set out to travel on its shank-end. Poor Waugh! I pity him from the bottom of my heart. His money I fear is almost vanished again; and his medical diploma is not likely to be forthcoming. He has few vices, many virtues: but not a jot of prudence. I spent three hours in advising him to take one of the pupils from me—the one between 11 and 12, whom I cannot get attended any longer for the pressure of writing &c: and even yet tho' Waugh has no prospect but that of being pennyless, and no objection to the offer, he palters and will not move. He has much to suffer, poor fellow; before he can learn wisdom. But I must leave him and all things, for my paper is clean gone. Adieu My dear Brother! Write to me at great length, next chance. I remain always,
Your affecte brother, /
Thomas Carlyle
Excuse me earnestly to my valued correspondents, Mag and Jamie & Mary. I am behind my hour, and cannot write for the heart of me. Next time for certain.

With songs like "Alice's Restaurant," too long for radio airplay; "Coming into Los Angeles," banned from many radio stations (but a favorite at the 1969 Woodstock Festival); and the definitive rendition of Steve Goodman's "City of New Orleans," Arlo was no one-hit-wonder.

SEVEN women are among 13 novelists on the longlist for the $50,000 Miles Franklin Literary Award and, after the controversy of recent years, it is a fair bet some will progress to the shortlist.
The odds are longer for a female winner. A woman has won Australia's oldest and most prestigious literary award just 13 times in 55 years (Thea Astley four times and Jessica Anderson twice).
Frustration erupted about an all-male shortlist in two of the past three years, prompting a group of women to set up the Stella Prize for women's writing, which they hope to launch next year.
All That I Am ... Anna Funder is one of seven female novelists in the longlist for the Miles Franklin literary award. Photo: Debbie McInnes
The Miles Franklin longlist announced yesterday was chosen from 61 entries. Contenders include the veterans Alex Miller and Kate Grenville, and debut novelists Favel Parrett and Anna Funder (whose non-fiction book about East Germany, Stasiland, was internationally acclaimed).
One of the five judges, Professor Gillian Whitlock, noted that many of the novels had a historical theme and several dealt with World War II - Funder's All That I Am, The Street Sweeper by Elliot Perlman and Spirit House by Mark Dapin.
''It's as if there's a generation of readers who haven't encountered the horror of the Holocaust and it needs to be told again,'' she said.
Another judge, Julianne Schultz, saw ''a gritty urbanness'' in books such as Blood by Tony Birch and Five Bells by Gail Jones.
On the question of gender, Schultz said: ''There has been an awareness of the controversy, not that it has affected us in any way as judges. Nothing on the list is not there out of merit.''
Whitlock agreed. ''The criterion for the Miles Franklin is not gender,'' she said.
''The judges burrow into a year's worth of books - usually 50 to 60 - and read those in relation to each other. The idea of counting male and female authors is anathema.''
Writer and editor Sophie Cunningham, who chairs the board of the Stella Prize, said: ''It's a great year for Australian fiction and the longlist reflects that.
'' There are amazing books by women and men. I can't imagine ending up with a shortlist with no women on it.''
Another issue that has dogged the award is Franklin's stipulation that the winner "must present Australian life in any of its phases". This has excluded books set outside Australia even if they feature Australian characters.
However, the judges now seem to take a broader view of ''Australian life'', embracing books such as Funder's and Perlman's, which are set in Germany and the US as well as Australia.
The shortlist will be announced in Sydney on May 3 and the winner in Brisbane on June 20.

NCAA Championship Release | JAMCO Times | NCAA Field Announced
SEATTLE - Family dinner conversations at Erin Lauber's household tend to skew towards rowing.
Lauber hails from a clan steeped in the tradition and excellence of Husky crew. Parents Dave and Madeline rowed for Bob Ernst at Washington, and the connection grew even deeper when Lauber's younger sister Hannah joined the team as a walk-on earlier this year.
Following a fourth-place finish at the Pac-10 Championships, Erin and the Huskies are headed to the NCAA Championships this week in Gold River, Calif., beginning on Friday afternoon. The 6-2 junior feels as if her boat has clicked on some speed this week in practices, and is excited about the opportunity placed in front of her.
"I think the team morale and how we've been practicing has really improved," Lauber said. "It'll be exciting to see the changes that can be made on a grander scale." Yet Lauber had no real interest in the sport growing up in nearby Edmonds, Wash. Her parents certainly didn't push their children towards the oar, allowing them to create their own paths.
"If we had been musicians, I think they would have been a-ok with it," Lauber said. Lauber instead focused on volleyball and basketball, and also did ballet and Irish step dancing. There was never any drive to row simply because she had the size for it. Her only experience with the sport beforehand was watching Windermere Cups and the Class Day Regattas with her family.
Ironically enough, though, all three Lauber children ended up rowing. Lauber's older sister Robin rowed at San Diego State.
Lauber joined the Huskies as a walk-on, her interest piqued when Ernst made the switch to the women's program after winning a National Championship with the men in 2007. What also helped was the Laubers' familiarity with Ernst. The long-time Husky coach also lives in Edmonds and the two families would often run into each other at basketball games, parades, etc. He would occasionally scout Lauber's volleyball games at E-W, and the offer was always there to give rowing a shot.
Lauber has seen her career trajectory rise sharply in the three seasons she's rowed at Washington. Now a fixture in the team's varsity boat, Lauber is headed off to train with USRowing this summer for an opportunity to row in the U-23 world championships in Amsterdam. Lauber is now part of lofty company at Washington as a former walk-on now representing their country at an international rowing competition. The last two Husky captains - Kerry Simmonds and Adrienne Martelli - were both walk-ons who have gone on to represent USRowing internationally.
"She likes to race," Ernst said. "She's working really, really hard at trying to realize her potential as a big-time rower. We realized she had the aptitude for the sport as a freshman when she moved up to the varsity squad at the end of the year."
Ernst feels Lauber is an ideal walk-on: tall and athletic, preferably with a multi-sport background. But she also has the drive to succeed, the intangible that separates the good from the greats in the sport. Part of the makeup of a successful rower is a borderline obsession with competition. The fiery Lauber fits those criteria, although she's the first to admit her passion for sport sometimes bubbles over when she's frustrated.
But what Lauber has that most rowers don't is a pair of knowledgeable, sympathetic ears to vent her frustrations. Her parents often serve as a sounding board for Lauber after a tough practice or race, and both come with the added benefit of having rowed for Ernst. Lauber joked that mostly their advice consists of "suck it up" or "deal with it," but it helps to lean on two parents who are so acquainted with rowing. Sometimes, Lauber's mother will remind her that she not only rowed in college, but worked in the summer and still managed to pull a 4.0 GPA. Conversations with Dave don't always start with rowing, but Lauber said they always manage to end up there.
Heading into her first season at UW in 2009, Lauber felt her parents offered her a distinct advantage by prepping her to embrace the lactic acid pain that comes with rowing. As a freshman, she targeted teammates on scholarship and tried to match them on erg pieces.
"They're kind of pushing me and I want to get ahead of them because they've done it before," Lauber said. "It becomes a friendly competition in a way."
Lauber said she's been grilling Simmonds about the U-23 experience, and while she's excited she is tempering those emotions with the NCAAs on-deck. But the route from walk-on to USRowing national team member is something to be lauded, considering her late push to the sport. Once Lauber made the varsity boat late in her freshman season, her and Ernst set up a plan that could help put her in position to make the jump. This included hard work on the ergs, countless hours of video and a focus on rowing in the pair, which included pair of wins at the Club National Championships in Oak Ridge, Tenn., the summer of 2010.
"She has a bright future," Ernst said.

A witness has reported sighting strange objects or entities in the skies over the city of Clearwater in Florida, US on the 28th of October, 2012 at 7:40 PM. This report has been obtained from a testimony included in the database of Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). The witness has mentioned sighting two orbs being chased by jets, then fireball with tails.
The witness begins the report by telling us that he or she frequently searches the sky for unusual objects and was doing the same when the alleged sighting occurred.
"Am a nightly sky watcher and multiple reporter. Walked out my front door as I do multiple times each night to look for objects. Noticed a jet directly overhead, and then noticed an orb behind it. "
He or she then describes how the orbs were being followed by jets. He or she also gives us a brief description of the chase and the movement of the UFOs.
"Then another orb being followed by a jet. The first orb followed the leading jet heading south until both flew out of sight. Second orb changed direction 180 degrees now heading north jet made sharp turn to pursue orb but by the time the jet completed the 180 degree turn the orb was half way across the horizon and continued heading north until out of sight."
He or she also describes the shape and colour of these orbs.
"Both orbs were white and star sized."
After that, he describes sighting the fireball and how it flew over his head.
"I turned back to the south and observed a meteor looking object that came in to the atmosphere directly over my head descending from the west-south-west."
Finally, he or she provides a description of the fireball and its approximate size.
"Object was a fireball about a half inch wide leaving an 8 - 10 inch trail of sparks and flames."
The above quotes were edited for clarity.
If the military jets were chasing such unidentified objects in the skies over the US, what for?
This is not the first instance of UFOs being chased by military-like jets that has been reported. Many websites and UFO journals have included reports of such incidents, and we can also find videos of UFOs being chased by jets. Dr. Michael Salla suggests that in order to preserve the mutual interests of the repressive aliens and the military, the government fails to provide an explanation for these incidents.

Holiday Hair: How to Style a Voluminous Top Knot
This entry was posted on December 31, 2013.
Top knots have been in style for a few years now, and our sources tell us that this adorable, easy, chic style isn't going anywhere. This Hepburn-esque style is perfect for many different occasions, from glamorous parties during the holidays to hot days on the beach. You can keep your hair out of your face and look fabulous while doing it. Best of all, the style lends itself very well to hair extensions, because length and volume are key to building this unforgettable look.
Placement and Preparation
Clip in hair extensions or simply brush out weave extensions. Your hair should be absolutely smooth when you begin. You'll need hairpins, an elastic that won't hurt or tear your hair, a brush, a teasing comb, and hair spray. When it comes to creating a top knot, placement is key — it should sit flat on the top of the head, and not too far back on the head.
The hair in the back must be completely smooth, and every part of the hairline should be brushed straight upward. Pull all of your hair upward, making sure the back is tight and smooth. Secure with a hair bungee or a small elastic. If you need more volume after your hair extensions are in, backcomb the ponytail for fluffiness. Don't get too dramatic, because you'll need to comb out the extensions when you're finished with this style. Gentleness is key. Once you're done, twist the hair into a circular shape around the elastic.
Adjust the bun and the elastic to make sure the placement is completely centered and that your hair isn't pulling anywhere on your scalp. A minor pull may start to feel major after you've felt it for a few hours. Secure the bun with hairpins, inserting at the base of the bun and attempting to catch the pins near the elastic. You want to make sure the pins will hold for an extended period of time, especially if you're going to a party or event that will span several hours. Since you backcombed the hair, you shouldn't need too many to keep it in place, depending on the texture of your hair. Finally, secure the topknot with a firm holding hair spray. Add a glittery headband, some hair glitter, or another small element to give your hair a bit of shine.

Trace Adkins finds himself in hot water, following a cruise ship altercation, and has checked into rehab, TMZ is reporting.
A source close to the situation says the country singer, who had been sober for 12 years, recently fell off the wagon. While on a cruise to Jamaica, Adkins imbibed at the ship's onsite bar, eventually engaging in a physical altercation with a man impersonating him during karaoke.
"Once the ship docked in Jamaica, Trace jumped ship," the report claims.
This story is developing.
Recently, Adkins dropped out of his performance scheduled at Seaworld, amidst the "Blackfish" documentary scandal. "Trace prefers that the focus of his performances be on music, not on controversy," his rep had emailed to CNN. "Therefore, he has decided not to proceed with this show in the midst of this debate." There appears to be no connection between these two events.

We investigate approximations by finite sums of products of functions with separated
variables to eigenfunctions of certain class of elliptic operators in higher dimensions,
and especially conditions providing an exponential decrease of the error with
respect to the number of terms. The results of the consistent use of tensor formats
can be regarded as a base for a new class of rank truncated iterative eigensolvers
with almost linear complexity in the univariate problem size that improves dramatically
the traditional methods of linear scaling in the volume size. Tensor methods
can be applied to solving large scale spectral problems in the computational quantum
chemistry, for example to the Schr¨odinger, Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham equations in
electronic structure calculations. The results of numerical experiments clearly indicate
the linear-logarithmic scaling of low-rank tensor method in the univariate problem size.
The algorithms work equally well for the computation of both, minimal and maximal
eigenvalues of the discrete elliptic operators.

Human narcolepsy with cataplexy is a neurological disorder, which develops due to a deficiency in hypocretin producing neurons in the hypothalamus. There is a strong association with human leucocyte antigens HLA-DR2 and HLA-DQB1*0602. The disease typically starts in adolescence. Recent developments in narcolepsy research support the hypothesis of narcolepsy being an immune-mediated disease. Narcolepsy is associated with polymorphisms of the genes encoding T cell receptor alpha chain, tumour necrosis factor alpha and tumour necrosis factor receptor II. Moreover the rate of streptococcal infection is increased at onset of narcolepsy. The hallmarks of anti-self reactions in the tissue--namely upregulation of major histocompatibility antigens and lymphocyte infiltrates--are missing in the hypothalamus. These findings are questionable because they were obtained by analyses performed many years after onset of disease. In some patients with narcolepsy autoantibodies to Tribbles homolog 2, which is expressed by hypocretin neurons, have been detected recently. Immune-mediated destruction of hypocretin producing neurons may be mediated by microglia/macrophages that become activated either by autoantigen specific CD4(+) T cells or superantigen stimulated CD8(+) T cells, or independent of T cells by activation of DQB1*0602 signalling. Activation of microglia and macrophages may lead to the release of neurotoxic molecules such as quinolinic acid, which has been shown to cause selective destruction of hypocretin neurons in the hypothalamus.

After a few similar discoveries, deputies find O.C.'s biggest marijuana farm ever: about 20,000 plants.
By David Reyes, Times Staff Writer
September 21, 2006
Orange County's reputation is solidly built on conservative politics and master planned communities, but after a discovery by sheriff's deputies late Tuesday, there could be a new distinction: marijuana farming.
Deputies said they are startled by the repeat discoveries of pot farms flourishing in the county's hillsides and canyons, including Tuesday afternoon's raid on what authorities say is the largest marijuana farm ever discovered in the county — with an estimated street value of $12.5 million.
"Two weeks ago we found 4,000 plants, and now we have this discovery that we believe is 18,000 to 20,000 marijuana plants," said sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino.
The latest find was along the western edge of O'Neill Regional Park, just beyond the perimeter of a gated community of million-dollar homes. The plantation was spotted from a sheriff's helicopter on patrol about 3 p.m. near Sunrise street in Mission Viejo.
Initially, only a few thousand plants were found, but when narcotics investigators returned at daybreak Wednesday, they followed an irrigation system feeding into seven to eight distinct patches, Amormino said.
"It appears they were tapping into a local homeowners association water supply," he said.
Deputies also found an encampment where they seized two loaded .22-caliber rifles, he said.
On Sept. 9, about 4,000 plants were found in Silverado Canyon, valued at $1 million. In August, about 1,000 plants were found off Ortega Highway, and hundreds of plants were found inside a San Clemente home.
The recent outdoor discoveries are probably linked and the work of a group or criminal cartel, Amormino said.
The discoveries parallel a statewide law enforcement trend of having dramatically increased seizures this year.
The state Department of Justice's decades-old Campaign Against Marijuana Planting announced Sept. 7 that law enforcement had eradicated 1.2 million illegally cultivated marijuana plants, worth $4.9 billion, so far this year.
The number surpassed the prior record of 1.1 million plants worth $4.5 billion, set in 2005, said Aaron Carruthers, a state attorney general's spokesman.
Law enforcement officers, other than CAMP agents, have brought in an additional $425 million worth of marijuana plants this year, he said.
Given the size of the O'Neill park pot farm, it is clear the cultivators were growing the plants for distribution, said Gilbert Geis, professor emeritus in criminology, law and society at UC Irvine.
"People are otherwise dependent on getting marijuana from Mexico," Geis said. For criminals, he said, "it makes sense to grow it domestically" as long as they feel the penalties are not excessive and the chances of getting caught are slim.
The counties with the highest number of illegally cultivated pot plants in 2006 were Shasta and Lake in Northern California. Shasta had 204,571 plants worth $818 million, and Lake had 186,327 plants worth $745 million.
Officials said it was unclear whether the string of pot farm discoveries in Orange County's undeveloped foothills is part of a trend or coincidence. But investigators point to dry weather in Northern California and tighter security on the Mexican border, making it "harder to bring marijuana into the United States," Amormino said.
What makes the latest discovery unusual, he said, is that the plants are near the Stone Ridge development in Mission Viejo, a gated community of homes costing more than $1.5 million each.
Until this year, the largest seizure of pot plants in Orange County was 5,000 taken during a raid several years ago in Trabuco Canyon, Amormino said.

Chimichanga is the new macaca
File under "What if a top-ranking GOP official had said this?"
Chimichanga would be the new macaca.
Lefty WaPo columnist Dana Milbank mocked Republicans for not doing enough to grovel to Latino voters. He snarked: "The chimichanga? It may be the only thing Republicans have left to offer Latinos." (Full context of the entire Chimichanga Kerfuffle here.)
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina tweeted his approval of Milbank's Hispanic food swipe, calling it the "line of the day." Conservative blogger Sooper Mexican lays the double-standard smack down:
What incredible arrogance would cause these idiots to disdain Latinos? It's the same grown out of the knowledge that no matter how much Democrats promise Latinos, and how little they deliver, they will count on their vote, as if we're beaten dogs returning to their master.
Let them know you don't appreciate this insult to Latinos, whatever race you are…

UCLA Earns National Seed | Purchase Tickets Online
2012 UCLA Media Guide | UCLA Baseball on Facebook
UCLA head coach John Savage
on earning the No. 2 national seed in the NCAA Tournament
"It's a lot of hard work and a lot of commitment from our players and our coaching staff. We have earned the position that we are in. It's going to be a very difficult Regional. At this stage, you don't take anything for granted. These are good programs, winning teams, teams that are coming in here very confident. Every year, it never changes. You have to be detailed in your preparation. I'm very proud of our program and our players to host for a third consecutive year. Winning the Pac-12, or being co-champions of the Pac-12, says a lot about our team. But this is a new season. Everybody is 0-0. There are 64 teams that have an opportunity to win a national championship and every single one of them can do it. We know that it's going to be a difficult challenge, but we are looking forward to the opportunity."
on being able to play at Jackie Robinson Stadium
"It just puts our guys in that environment from before. They know what to expect. Having a Regional here and Super Regional in 2010 and then losing a difficult Regional last year, we need to use those experiences in our favor and get the younger guys on board as quickly as possible. Regardless of what anybody says, the postseason has a different environment to it. Our job is to get those young guys acclimated and into that mindset as quickly as possible."
Beau Amaral (junior, center fielder)
on UCLA's selection to the NCAA Tournament
"Our team is really excited. It says a lot about this program and what we have accomplished. We have hosted three years in a row. That says a lot about our coaching staff, our players and everybody involved. We are really excited and are looking forward to this week. It's always fun playing in front of your home crowd. It's a really comfortable environment. To be able to host a Regional means a lot. We have worked hard all year. We definitely deserve what we have achieved so far."
Tyler Heineman (junior, catcher)
on UCLA's selection to the NCAA Tournament
"It's awesome. It's a testament to how we have played all season and how we prepared for our season. It's great to be able to start this new season in front of our home crowd. We want to keep this season going and get back to Omaha."
on having experience playing in the postseason at home
"It's a big deal. We always talk about home field advantage wherever we play. We talk about taking the stadium over, whether it's here or when we are on the road. We have been a good road team. But when we are at home, I know that we are comfortable. We know the ballpark better than any team that is going to come in here. It's a big advantage, and this will be a good opportunity for us."
Jeff Gelalich (junior, right fielder)
on UCLA's selection to the NCAA Tournament
"It's always exciting to see your name up there. We all cheer and get excited. Being selected to the tournament and earning a national seed, it kind of validates your season. It's what you have worked for from day one. It's a big thing to see your name go up on the board."
on having experience playing in the postseason at home
"You learn a lot from the past two years. You learn to be comfortable in your home environment. You learn that it's not going to be easy. We just have to take this one game at a time. In our clubhouse, our motto is that you have to go one pitch at a time. That's something that we have done all year, and we have to use that mindset here in the postseason."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -
The football team practiced for two hours on Tuesday afternoon at the Hank Crisp Indoor Practice Facility focusing on Saturday's season opener against Kent State.
"We are getting excited the closer it gets just knowing we are nearing the game," said senior linebacker Jerrell Harris. "I am very excited right now and antsy to go through the tunnel with the team to see what we are made of."
The 2011 season marks the 117th year of Crimson Tide football. Alabama has compiled a 92-21-3 all-time record in season openers, and is in the midst of a nine-game winning streak. During that nine-game stretch, the Tide averaged 38.9 points per game.
"It is going to be a crazy atmosphere," said junior linebacker Nico Johnson. It is really a big game, especially to the people of the community. We are really looking forward to it. We are going to play our best football and let the people in the community know we are still here and still playing for our Alabama family."
Saturday's contest against Kent State will kickoff at 11:21 a.m. CT at Bryant-Denny Stadium. The game will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

WADSWORTH — Austin White didn't know or care how many 3-pointers he was raining from every conceivable angle Saturday night.
The only thing going through the sophomore's mind was how ticked off his Wadsworth boys basketball team was.
With White's sweet-stroking jumper pumping through the points, the Grizzlies got back to raising Kane in an efficient, unselfish and entertaining 67-51 non-league win over Orrville.
It was a textbook example of how to bounce back, as Wadsworth (11-10) was 24 hours removed from a highly frustrating 40-32 loss at rival Highland.
"We were down after the loss (Friday). It was a big loss," White said. "We just came out wanting to prove a point that we should have won that game, so we wanted everyone to make shots and we did."
The 6-foot-3 White finished with a career-high 28 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals. He was 7-of-13 from 3-point range — coming within one trifecta of the school record — and put the Grizzlies, who scored 16 or more points in each quarter, in complete control with a 9-2 personal run in the third quarter.
Power forward Kyle Prunty added 15 points and 12 rebounds, backup center Jimmy Elchlinger had four points, two boards and two steals in the second quarter and point guard Tucker Robinson added a 5-1 assist-to-turnover ratio off the bench as Wadsworth's relentless 2-2-1 press and outstanding transition offense wore down the Red Riders (5-16).
It was an all-around great night for the Grizzlies, who erupted with joy when senior Dylan Galford hit their season-high 11th 3-pointer — it was his first career bucket — with 48 seconds left.
"They were going out there and playing hard," coach Mike Schmeltzer Jr. said. "They did everything we wanted them to do from the start."
Wadsworth, which made 24-of-49 field goals after going 10-of-41 against Highland, established tempo right away and forced seven Orrville turnovers en route to a 19-10 lead. White had nine points in the quarter, but he was just heating up as snow came down in bunches outside Wadsworth High.
Coming off screens for long-range connections in the corners, White drilled two more 3-pointers in the second quarter. The All-Gazette football player then canned three bombs on consecutive possessions, including two in transition, to give Wadsworth a 49-31 lead in the third.
White had two looks to match history in the fourth, but his first attempt from the top of the arc was a tad long and his second rattled out from the elbow extended.
The only person not impressed with the effort was White.
"It's not really a big deal," he said. "All I care about is the 'W.'"
Schmeltzer was more than pleased.
"When Austin catches the ball and squares up, he can flat-out shoot it," he said.
The Red Riders were led by 15 first-half points from Alexander Smith. Point guard Bryce Short added three points, five rebounds and three assists and Jonathan Landis had 13 points, but Orrville struggled to match Grizzlies big men Prunty, Elchlinger and Nathan Pound, as they nearly matched the Red Riders' 22 rebounds.
Maybe more pressing, though, was the simple fact it wasn't going to be a fun night playing against an opponent with a chip on its shoulder.
The message was clearly sent.
"At the varsity level with so many good players out there, you've got to come hard every night," Schmeltzer said. "You've got to expect every team's best every evening. We came out and we played hard, and it appeared we had put (Friday) in the past, which is a great thing. It means we're growing up as a team."

Aliayh, The best thing is to give students lots of example, rather than adhere to the definitions. The Connected Mathematics Project has some wonderful exercises that do activities for middle school children on this very topic. One activity has the students write down the number of letters on one post-it note and then write the letters in their first name, one letter per post it on others. Students then post their total numbers and their names on a wall. Or the board in the classroom. egin a discussion of what the mean would be....is someone's name located at the mean....if the mean turns out to be not a whole number value is a good measurement to represent letters in someone's first name? Do the median? Is there a mode, two modes...? The student's personalize the info and it makes for a very interesting class and one they will remember. The CMP goes on to list facts about longest names, most common last names, etc. -Claudia, for the Teacher2Teacher service

Director Renny (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) Harlin's newest film may seem like a somewhat random choice for such a veteran action director, but it certainly does not disappoint. Before viewing, it is important to note that the marketing for this film have done its makers two automatic injustices: the DVD box reveals one of the many twists and the main cover image on the internet movie database features a blurry reveal as well. So if you are interested in seeing this film, avoid both of those things if at all possible. But what is this film really about? Simply put, it's another found footage horror film about college kids who want to solve a mystery that has plagued them for years: the real-life disappearance of nine scientists and skiers in the middle of the Russian mountains. Prior knowledge of the true events of the Dyatlov Pass incident add to the viewing experience, but are by no means a prerequisite for enjoying Devil's Pass.
Relative newcomers Holly Goss, Matt Stokoe, Luke Albright, Ryan Hawley, and Gemma Atkinson all do a great job as the five would-be world-famous documentarians. The atmosphere and mood established as soon as they arrive at their destination is enough to keep even the most easily-bored viewer glued to the screen until its chaotic, albeit somewhat rushed conclusion. The first third is essentially an adventure tale with a little bit of history thrown in along the way. The second act is all about escalation, dropping clues, and building tension. And the third (and arguably strongest) part of the film is where the horror kicks in. It becomes a different movie altogether once the audience (and the remaining crew members) find out what's really going on in the mountains. And it's terrifying.
The greatest strength of this film is the director's usage of his obvious love for snow-covered landscapes in conjunction with a cleverly-written script about a creative topic. It also doesn't hurt any that the story-behind-the-story is completely and utterly fascinating. This genre-twisting movie is a must-watch for horror fans, realistic science fiction aficionados, and especially those who wish to see Harlin make his big return to helming Hollywood blockbusters.

When I joined LWR, I was tasked with continuing the organization's advocacy and education on human rights in Sudan. But I'd never been to Sudan.
At LWR, we try hard to make sure the policy positions we take reflect and respond to the lived realities of the local communities with which we work. Initiatives that look good on paper don't always make as much sense when viewed from the "bottom up." So even though I have colleagues with extensive Sudan experience, my supervisor thought it important that I visit the country in person.
The opportunity for a trip came quickly. So quickly, in fact, that I had no chance even to meet LWR's regional director for Africa, Evariste, before I left.
That was two years ago. The trip went well and I learned a lot.
But Evariste recently confessed to me that he'd been a little nervous about the trip. He didn't know me back then and Sudan is not an easy place to get around if you don't know what you're doing.
He had little cause to worry though. And although I'd like to tell you that's because I'm such a tough and seasoned traveler, it was really because of the hospitality and care shown by my hosts. During the most challenging part of the trip (to areas along the Southern border with the Democratic Republic of Congo) our party was guided every step of the way by priests from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio. They knew the local situation well and their dedicated service to the community meant everyone we encountered was eager to help us as well.
Last week I was excited to hear the bishop of that parish testify before the U.S. Congress about the increasing violence in his country and the way forward to peace. He urged our government to deploy every diplomatic resource, employ every incentive and apply every consequence necessary to ensure that there is an end to the fighting in South Sudan.
We can all bring this new nation of South Sudan a chance to enjoy the hope and the freedom, the justice and peace, it so richly deserves and has long awaited – Bishop Eduardo Hiiboro Kussala
So I hope you will join me in this opportunity to be of some assistance to the Bishop. On June 22 (TODAY), LWR and its advocacy partners will host a national call-in day during which we will urge the United States to take seriously the escalating violence and attacks on civilians in Sudan. Participating is easy and will only take a minute. But your voice can help make a big difference.
Dial 1-800-4366-2433 to connect to the White House and:
- Give your name;
- Say what state you are from; and
- Ask the president to "deploy every diplomatic resource, employ every incentive and apply every consequence necessary to ensure that there is an end to the fighting in South Sudan."
Interested in taking one more action for Sudan? Or even two? Send an LWR Action Alert message, or respond to LWR's emergency appeal.

Why Coriolanus is a tragic character?
1 Answer | Add Yours
Coriolanus is a tragic hero because he meets all the criteria.
First, he is a man of elevated birth. He comes from one of the finest families in Rome. He proves himself as a hero and savior of Rome in his battles against the Volscian.
Like many tragic heroes before him, Coriolanus is guilty of hubris. His pride will not let him "lower" himself. He considers himself better than the plebeians who question him.
His excessive pride leads him to abandon Rome and his family and join the Volsci.
Once he turns his back on Rome, he is doomed. That he must die in the end is a foregone conclusion.
In the end, it is his pride that causes his downfall and that makes him a tragic hero.

In the latest instalment of our weekly Academy feature keeping fans up to date with the next generation of Liverpool stars, we catch up with U18s manager Steve Cooper.
Following Mike Marsh's appointment as first-team coach in August 2012, Cooper took up the role of U18s boss.
In his first Liverpoolfc.com column, he talks about the Reds' recent FA Youth Cup victory and how a special atmosphere has been forged at the club's Kirkby Academy.
On Wednesday we beat Histon 4-0 in the FA Youth Cup. Kristoffer Peterson, Jerome Sinclair, Jack Dunn and Daniel Trickett-Smith were all on the scoresheet and we're through to the next round.
This game was a different kind of test because of the opposition and the pitch we were playing on. But it was one that we knew was going to be a positive test in terms of our boys' development.
In general, these lads are used to playing on nice pitches and in nice conditions against a certain style of football, so it was good to make a change to that.
When you play in this type of game, you have to make sure that you overcome the emotion of the Histon boys, who will be so motivated to beat Liverpool.
It's not that I had any doubts, because we all trust each other here, but we were mindful of how we approached the game.
We were constantly reminding the players, through video analysis, the tactics board, a lot of individual and unit meetings, to make sure that they were up to speed with what is expected.
On the night we were organised, we knew our positions and I was pleased.
The preparation wasn't exactly what you would call normal either because we took the team to Qatar the week before.
Now that was a superb experience - one day we were playing Inter Milan, the next we were playing Real Madrid.
What a wonderful learning curve for the lads, playing at top-drawer facilities, in the nice weather and with all the media exposure that went with it - not to mention the level of opposition.
We can reflect on this trip and every single one of the boys will come back from the trip a better player. That's for sure.
While we were there we visited a children's hospital - sort of like Qatar's equivalent of Alder Hey in Liverpool.
I have two children myself, so to go to somewhere like that and offer a little bit of support and show a little bit of emotion was very important to me personally.
In situations like this, you look to see how our young players respond because, I'll be honest, we saw some unfortunate scenes while we were there. And it really did remind us all of just how lucky we are.
My thinking was - if we can put a smile on somebody's face just for one day, then that's really important. But I was very pleased with the way the boys embraced the day and how they interacted with the patients there.
They showed bags of maturity and kept level-headed throughout - it can't have been easy for them.
We look to see how players handle all different types of situations. After the win against Histon, we now face Leeds at Anfield in the cup, so it will be good to see how they respond to that.
But every player is different - you see that on a day-to-day basis at the Academy.
Some players like to be in and around the staff and others are not so close but that's fine. What we try to work hard at as staff is to figure out each individual and give each of them the appropriate relationship.
It is important that we have strong relationships with the boys. Firstly because we spend so much time with them to try and influence and inspire them.
And secondly, because they are at a really important age, so they need help and support, not just through football development but in terms of growing up.
Ages 16-18 are crucial times in anyone's life - they also happen to be extremely demanding times in terms of becoming a footballer - trying to force your way into teams, progress to the first-team or gain a contract extension.
You need to be there for these boys emotionally. Here we work really hard on, not disciplining the players as such, but just making them good people.
At the moment, there's a really, really nice atmosphere here - the players are really comfortable around the Academy. That's something that hasn't happened by chance- we've worked really hard with this.
We start our work with the schoolboy teams so that when they progress, they carry the values with them.
We pride ourselves on the relationship that we have with the players because we do, genuinely, think the world of them. And we want to give them the best that we can.
This way, if you are trying to teach them or you are demanding something from the players, then they might feel a little bit more obliged to listen to what has been said and carry out the instructions.
Whether it is a game plan or a job to do on the pitch - if there's that trust there, then we'll work hard for each other.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – Mississippi State volleyball will have eight regular-season contests broadcast on the SEC Network and ESPNU this season, while the Bulldog soccer team will appear twice on the SEC Network.
AT&T U-Verse, DISH, Google Fiber and National Rural Telecommunications cooperative (NRTC) have agreed to carry the SEC Network. Fans not wanting to miss any of the action can demand the SEC Network by calling their cable/satellite provider or going to www.getsecnetwork.com.
Five of MSU volleyball's six games on the newly-formed SEC Network come at home, beginning with a Sunday, Oct. 5 match against Florida.
"We are incredibly excited about the national exposure our program will have with the SEC Network and the ongoing partnership with ESPN," Jenny Hazelwood said. "Fans will have unprecedented access to volleyball on television and that is a great thing for our sport and for our volleyball program at Mississippi State. We will be putting a very exciting brand of volleyball on the floor this fall and we are looking forward to showcasing that to a national television audience through the SEC Network and ESPNU."
The SEC Network will also broadcast home contests against Missouri (Oct. 19), Auburn (Oct. 31) and Kentucky (Nov. 23). The Bulldogs' Nov. 21 match at Georgia was also picked up by the SEC Network.
The Bulldogs' road matches at LSU on Oct. 8 and Alabama on Nov. 12 will be carried by ESPNU, while the network will also broadcast the Nov. 5 game against rival Ole Miss at the Newell-Grissom Building.
Mississippi State soccer's debut on the SEC Network comes Sept. 19 when the Bulldogs host the Rebels in the annual battle for the Magnolia Cup.
The Bulldogs' Oct. 23 contest at Auburn will also be televised by the SEC Network.
"We are excited to have the SEC Network as a platform to showcase SEC soccer to fans across the nation," Aaron Gordon said. "To have the SEC Network carrying soccer on a regular basis is a benefit for our program and the other schools in the SEC. We are excited to have our games on the SEC Network, especially our home game against Ole Miss. The Magnolia Cup is such a great rivalry, and to have it on our campus on the SEC Network will add so much more to that game."
An additional slate of games, to be announced at a later date, will be carried on the SEC Network's digital platforms. All SEC Network and ESPNU games will be available on WatchESPN.
The SEC Network, a new 24/7 sports network launching August 14 and operated by ESPN, will elevate the Southeastern Conference volleyball and soccer programs with unprecedented national television coverage. This season's matchups will increase from a total of 14 events in 2013 to 80 events in 2014. The SEC Network alone will air a combined 65 live women's volleyball and women's soccer games in its debut year - more than five times the number of events available nationwide last year.
The 80 games scheduled by the SEC and ESPN include:
- 40 Women's Volleyball games on SEC Network
- 25 Women's Soccer games on SEC Network
- 10 Women's Volleyball games on ESPNU
- 5 Women's Soccer games on ESPNU
For the first time, SEC soccer will have a consistent television series, airing every Thursday at 7 p.m. ET beginning Aug. 22 through the regular season, with additional matchups on Sundays. The SEC Network will also televise the First Round, Quarterfinal and Semifinal rounds of the SEC Soccer Tournament. Volleyball will air consistently on Wednesdays and Sundays through the regular season.

Metal Body Galaxy F To Launch Besides S5!?
Very often it's difficult to pick a perfect Android phone, you might be having a blazing fast S4 but might envy the sheer metal body of the HTC One. After almost years of consumer disliking and ranting, the "plasticy" Galaxy phones get a hefty cousin.
The Korean reporter, ETNews reported that Samsung plans to make a high end metal smartphone: the Galaxy F. The phone will be decked out with a metal exterior, and should be launched around the same time as the highly awaited Galaxy S5.
We do want to see Samsung do this since long, how premium? With time, will we know.

Then Saturday morning, my family and friends showered us with love at an awesome baby shower. My cousin, Maggie came in all the way from Texas to see us, what an awesome girl. She took the pix too, thanks Maggs!
My wonderful family who threw the shower for us. Man I feel short, what happened, why I am the runt...and since when is 5'71/2 that short, geez! Next time I am wearing heels!
They know how to decorate, it looked so pretty!
Such a fun gift, a book called "The Tickle Monster" with these monster gloves. Wells is going to love these!
And then the group gift, oh the group gift. I am so excited to use the stroller! It is so AWESOME!
My bro and nephew joined us at the end, guess which one is really pregnant. I know it will be tough. Johnny, is that what I really look like, I must be having triplets!
Our wonderful Saturday ended with us going to the KU vs. Texas Tech game. I had forgotten how much I LOVE KU basketball. I am so excited to say that Joe has admitted he had a blast and that Allen Field House lives up to its reputation. Oh and I just want to mention that behind us on the right is the NCAA National Championship trophy! Go Hawks!
Thank you so much to everyone for blessing us this weekend. We are so thankful for each and every one of you!

I came up with five reasons to adopt a senior dog after my dogs received a compliment. I hosted a luncheon at my house. After the event, one person followed up to tell me that she hasn't had a dog in 20 years, but is now considering getting another dog because -- are you ready for this? -- my dogs were so well behaved. I did admit to her that they are 10 and 12 years old. The beauty of having dogs over the age of 5 is that they are pretty mellow.
There are so many older dogs in shelters who would make wonderful new pets for anyone willing to open their home to them. Here are the top five reason for doing so:
- Senior dogs know how to chill.
- Older dogs are usually housebroken and trained.
- They handle routines well.
- They've already been socialized.
- Older dogs are well beyond the stage of chewing and other destructive behavior.

Lesbian Spotlight Puma Swede
Tall, blonde, stacked and gorgeous! This shameless Swedish angel makes the ladies cream even before she seduces them. Just the thought of those marvelous mammaries bouncing around one's ears can cause a bi-curious or straight lady to forego cock forever and enlist in the lesbian foreign legion of lust - i.e. foreign to men! Puma is so hot she simultaneously melts cocks or cunts no matter which team she addresses or undresses.

Rangitane appeals to Turia over claim
A Palmerston North tribe has appealed to its local MP to intervene and help stop the Crown settling a Treaty claim with a local urban authority.
Some descendants of Rangitane have held a hui with Te Tai Hauauru MP Tariana Turia.
They've been campaigning for some time to stop a settlement going ahead with Tanenuiarangi Manawatu Incorporated, arguing traditional members of Rangitane are not represented.
The Rangitane people say Mrs Turia has given them no assurances, but has promised to take the issues raised back to the Government.
Next story in Te Ao Māori: Te Atiawa hopes for $88m settlement soon
