My husband was such a skeptic about all of my herbs. After using this product for joint pain, he is now taking everything and anything that I order with no questions asked. His body felt better in a few days.He was so excited like it was a miracle!
I'm so glad I discovered astaxanthin. It has eliminated the carpal tunnel symptoms in my hands as well as the stiffness in other joints. It has also considerably helped the depression I've had for years.

Steve Jobs Biopic Crashes on Opening
"Jobs" appears to be Hollywood's version of the Apple Lisa.
The first of two movies about the late Apple Inc. Chief Executive Steve Jobs hit theaters this weekend without any of the buzz or sales enjoyed by the iPods or iPads created by its subject. The movie opened in seventh place with a paltry estimated weekend gross of $6.7 million despite opening broadly in the U.S. and Canada.
"Jobs" focuses on Apple's early days as a start-up founded by a brilliant and irascible Mr. Jobs (played by Ashton Kutcher) and the brilliant and gentle Steve Wozniak (played by Josh Gad). Throughout the movie, Mr. Jobs's up-and-down career at the company is chronicled, as a rotating cast of board directors and executives hire and fire him before he returns the company to superstar status with the launch of the iPod in 2001.
It's a cinematic arc that Hollywood couldn't resist – twice. A second movie about Mr. Jobs, to be written by Aaron Sorkin ("The Newsroom," "The Social Network") and based on Walter Isaacson's best-selling biography is in the works but doesn't have a release date or star named yet. The weak opening of "Jobs" shouldn't jeopardize that Sony production, considering it comes with a much stronger creative pedigree than the current release, which was pulled together starting about a year after the Apple CEO died of complications from pancreatic cancer in October 2011.
Critics characterized "Jobs" as lacking any of the attention to detail or stream-lined focus that Mr. Jobs brought to his projects. The movie ends before Mr. Jobs turns Apple into one of the world's richest companies with a string of successes like iTunes and the iPhone, focusing instead on the decades in which he battled with other executives brought in as adult supervision for the company he founded.
"Jobs" was produced for an estimated $12 million by Five Star Feature Films and picked up for release by Open Road Films, a distribution company owned by theater chains AMC Theaters and Regal Entertainment Group that specializes in low- and mid-budget productions. A substantial marketing push was deployed to try and get technophiles to queue up for the movie as though it were a new Apple gadget.
One of the film's trailers premiered on Instagram, and Mr. Kutcher even appeared trying to channel the intellectually unapologetic Mr. Jobs in public, giving a speech at the Teen Choice Awards last weekend in which he said "the sexiest thing in the entire world" is being smart.
The speech earned better reviews than the movie did. Critics gave "Jobs" a Rotten Tomatoes score of 25% while audiences gave it 53%.

He's short, right? Kinda weird looking? A close friend of mind described Dennis J. Kucinich with rare jocularity following a recent Democratic presidential debate: "He reminded me of a nebbish, privileged student council member". I actually had to smile at that one.
As witty as my friend's remark was (and it did make me smile), my grin was born from two very different places: One, a place of remarkable admiration, the other a place of very deep regret.
My admiration for Dennis Kucinich begins with the authenticity of a man who seems possessed of a deft, preternatural ability to resist coercive political pressure and acquiescence to the special-interest briberies which have co-opted Washington D.C. Even David Brooks, conservative columnist for The New York Times, went so far as to stamp the Ohio Congressman as an "aging prodigy".
Here are five major points to consider:
1.) Dennis Kucinich was right on Iraq. The Congressman stood up to ideological war hawks, refusing to submit to the constitutional calamity of a preemptive invasion.
2.) He was right on the Patriot Act. Kucinich lambasted the serpentine piece of legislation acting as a gateway to eroding our cherished civil liberties.
3.) The Congressman is right on health care. Unlike slipshod "universal coverage" plans proposed by Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama (all of which attempt to incurably fix a broken, private system by virtually mandating that every American buy into it) Kucinich knows first hand that the only morally and economically satisfying version of health care is the one beginning with the words: not-for-profit.
4.) Strength through Peace: The hallmark of the Congressman's presidential campaign would end using war as an instrument of policy. Haters call him a peacenik devoid of reality. I submit that the intellectually curious might see a president who would embody unparalleled leadership in nuclear non-proliferation and in tackling global warming (mother nature's WMD) to bridge frayed international alliances, combat climate change and, in effect, revive the plummeting dollar.
5.) Kucinich is right on impeachment. Dennis, as it currently stands – along with 22 courageous signatories – has been the only Congressman brave enough to officially propose articles of impeachment against the dangerously dark Vice President Richard B. Cheney. And on this, he hits the bull's eye too.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Born in Cleveland, Dennis Kucinich is the eldest of seven children and the son of working class parents. As a child Kucinich was charged with the impossible task of scouring the newspaper in order to find his family affordable housing. Before Dennis was 17 the Kucinich's moved over 20 times; at several points resorting to the only shelter they could find: their car. Kucinich worked his way through college, going on to receive a master's degree, and at 31 was elected Mayor of his hometown – the youngest Mayor in the America at the time. In 1996 Kucinich was elected to the United States Congress and, eight years later, the boy who lived most of his early life in and out of a tattered sedan would set out on a quest to become president. Today, that quest continues.
As reported in the Boston Globe:
Barack Obama talks about what it takes to unite all walks of life. Dennis Kucinich knows first hand. John Edwards wears his "father worked in a mill" story on his arm like a badge of honor. Dennis Kucinich lived 17 years of his life on and off the streets to now be standing here running for president."If people want to know what kind of president I'll be," said Kucinich, "they only have to know my background to know who I'm in government to represent: those who aspire to decent jobs, a decent wage, health care, a roof over their heads, education for their children… I come to the political system as an advocate for people, not an advocate for any special interest group. That really is what distinguishes me from anyone else in this race."
Impressed? Had no idea? What a story, right? Yeah, I know. This is where the regret behind my grin comes into play.
My regret is in witnessing a media and voting system both configured with such democratic intolerance that it handcuffs the populist magnitude behind a potential Kucinich presidency. "The media do not necessarily tell you what to think, but they do tell you what to think about and how to think about it," notes communications expert Robert McChesney in his book The Problem of the Media. You're not allowed to think about candidates like Dennis. And to be sure you don't debate moderators like the esteemed Tim Russert will ask the Congressman ludicrous, nonsensical questions having to do with: unidentified flying objects.
The trade off is that you're given "The Horse Race"… a media-hyped framework with a bunch of Hardball "power-rankings" and superficial hoopla drawing lots of ratings and advertising dollars for major corporations like General Electric (which owns Hardball network home NBC Universal), but lacks any sense of fair play or democratic standards when it comes to substantive coverage of candidates or real political diversity.
And yet, despite it all, Kucinich remains.
Given the uphill battle Kucinich faces in the final stretch of the presidential primary, it may behoove him to consider speaking out in remaining televised debates with blunt force on three critical issues:
1.) Direct Democracy. The greatest challenge to voter participation in this country is the people's feeling of political marginalization. The cure to this plague begins first and foremost with the dismantling of the Electoral College. As the current system now stands, the people of the United States vote indirectly for president and vice president. Most voters assume that every four years they're permitted to pull a lever and vote directly for their chosen candidate. This is not so. Voters are actually choosing unknown "electors" from their state to cast official votes for the two aforementioned offices. Electors are not required to cast their electoral votes in accordance with popular sentiment and, in effect, work against the health of a vibrant democracy. Dismantling the Electoral College (at the very least dividing the nation's electoral votes proportionally as is done in Maine and Nebraska) would magnificently increase voter participation by assuring that every popular vote cast in the presidential race would equally count.
Not to mention the vital necessity for a Gradual Random Presidential Primary.
2.) Presidential Dynasty. Should Hillary Clinton win the Democratic nomination and go on to win the White House the Bush-Clinton two family dynasty would proceed, conceivably, for another eight years. Beginning from George H.W. Bush's ascension to the vice presidency in 1980 to a possible two-term Hillary Clinton presidency ending in 2016 this country would be staring down 36 years of two-family aristocratic rule. If this was happening in any other country, would we call it democracy?
3.) Media Consolidation. As it stands, the Federal Communications Commission may further ease the decades-old media ownership rules, which includes, according to the New York Times, "repealing a rule that forbids a company to own both a newspaper and a television or radio station in the same city." This is but another in a cascade of slippery slopes into further media consolidation. The final vote on this measure is set to go forth this December. Further media consolidation leads to less diversity and a suffocation to the media propagated "marketplace of ideas". Ideas like: "Kucinich 2008".
Dennis Kucinich represents the very best of what America has to offer. Men like him don't go away. They just need people like us to pay attention.

Ms. Mann, thank you for your outstanding article on Dennis Kucinich. He is my hero too, since the day I discovered a vegan was running for President in the last election. I went on to learn much more about Kucinich, his honesty, his total grasp of the issues, his passion for truth, PEACE and the Constitution. It has been my privilege to see him speak many times. Each time I come away with a new sense of hope for our nation and the future.
I am not surprised war profiteers General Electric, owners of NBC work so diligently to marginalize Kucinich as a candidate. GE does not seem to be too fond of those who follow a path of PEACE. I see Kucinich far above the fray. His message is reaching the voters who once familiar with his values are loyal supporters.
No other candidate has the same compassion for humanity. Kucinich is a true statesman; he is our best opportunity to elect a great leader. I call Kucinich my little Lincoln, who was kinda weird looking too! I expect Kucinich will take a similar place in American history.

Dennis J. Kucinich
A wonderful article about a truly outstanding man. The lack of respect that Dennis has received should make every politician in Washington and every news person hang their heads in shame. Dennis is the real thing. This man has the moral and spiritual courage to turn this Nation around. It has been a long time since we have seen a man of this stature willing to serve America. He is an inspiration to Americans who really care, and everyone of us needs to get 100% behind him and his candidacy for President. Dennis represents the best of what America is all about. There is no double speak in this man. He speaks from his heart and he has the heart of a giant and he does what he says. This is integrity. Something almost unheard of in a politician in America these days. Dennis goes beyond democrat or republican. He does what is right. The compassion that has been lost by America in our rise to becoming the worlds sole superpower can only be restored when Americans honestly recognize how badly we have failed in this area and how much we need Dennis Kucinich and other men like him to lead us back to everything that is truly good about America.
Anita said:
Thanks so much..
...for an insightful interview on a wonderful man that most of the mainstream media does not want to talk about. It is because of honest and truthful articles such as yours that the tide is turning and people en masse are learning about and discovering this man who could change our country and it's government around. Like he says and he knows he can create this, "the world will love America again!" Let's make this happen and vote for Dennis in '08!
Johanna said:
Dennis is the true American hero today. He stands for what so many people want but gets no recognition from the press. Americans have been so brainwashed into believing whatever is dished out to them or in whatever candidate is deemed the front runner, that people don't even try to make a change. It's time to take our country back.... Dennis in '08!!!!

very good but...
the tragedy is that the best man will not be anywhere near the running. Middle America is petrified of change; if you cannot drive in one hour to a large body of water you will probably hate everything Dennis stands for. If Dennis does become president however, expect to see radical changes in how the rest of the world views the USA, if not, we can maintain our privileged position as the worlds #1 most disliked country. Again, being that Fox news has more sway in who becomes president than most peoples own frontal lobes, Dennis has little chance. I will be voting for him, I hope that every other intelligent American and many more will do too.

Kucinich the only candidate for 2008
To my fellow Citizens,
As an early primary state, you are once again being called upon to make one of the most important decisions of your life and for the your children's future. This should not simply be partisan. We are at a cross roads of our civilization, our country and what values we choose to embrace. The next leader will need to make difficult choices on the best use of our limited resources.
After our last 7 years, the statement is so obvious, what we do domestically and internationally has consequences that potentially touch every man, woman and child living on this planet. The decisions made by George Bush and Co have taken us to the brink of Armageddon. The problems and the solution can no longer be made with a band-aid. We need to re-evaluate our values, our priorities with a goal towards a world of REAL peace for generations to come. Every action has consequences; they are not executed in a vacuum. We have witnessed the poor choices of the Bush administration. Through their insatiable quest for world domination, they have destroyed our economy, placed millions of citizens on the unemployment lines, have systematically curtailed our civil liberties through the Patriot Act, eliminated all environmental protections for clean air and water. All will have dire consequences for many generations to come. We have become the international class bully regarded by majority of the world's population. Does this make us any safer? The Bush administration's policies have fueled mistrust and created an atmosphere of potential terrorists attacked against America.
Tax breaks for the ultra wealthy, deregulation of industry and the insane proliferation of the Pentagon budget has now placed America with a $9 trillion debt. The interest on this debt coupled with $1.3 Trillion expense for re-building America's infrastructure, the need to totally fund Social Security and Medicare for the baby boomers (a promise that needs to be kept) results in a 'personal' check for every man, woman and child of $350,000.
Now we could ask the Pentagon to find the $3 trillion it has misplaced, cancel absurd military projects that the most knowledgeable say are all 'folly' or simple eliminate the public education system in America for everyone except the children of the ultra wealthy. Our next leader will need to have the courage to make these very difficult choices. George Bush says we need to sacrifice.
Most Americans are willing to do their part. The question is when is Corporate America willing to do theirs. George Bush has one mantra, legislative policies that have filled the coffers from his corporate cronies and wealthy campaign contributors through privatization and deregulation while gutting all safety nets for the working and middle class of our country.
At first blush you may think of one of our leading democratic candidates who is now a household name. I'm going to ask you to dig a little deeper and ……REALLY DREAM! Dream of a country where we live and love together, that discrimination is an embarrassment of a prior generation, that every child is educated to reach their fullest potential, where our governments' policies do not foster disease, where we learn to live respectfully with our natural resources and strive to protect them as a gift for generations that follow. Dream of a country that is generous to our veterans and 'first responders', and appreciates their sacrifice. Dream of a country where the most important occupation is teaching our youth and compensate them accordingly. Dream of a country where millions of our children are not homeless or living below the poverty level. Dream of a country where 44 million Americans are not without health insurance. Dream internationally that our policies encourage good will and a favorable attitude towards America verses the alternative. Dream that we spent our generosity to alleviate hunger, disease and a poor standard of living. that is fueled by the insanity of NAFTA and WTO. Dream of a country where we champion Fair Trade .
As middle age adults we have stopped dreaming, we accept 'business as usual'. We are too practical, too reasonable, and compromise is a very lonely decision. When was the last time you voted FOR a candidate not AGAINST one? When you cast your compromised vote; think about your children and grandchildren and the world you would like to leave them. The late great Paul Wellstone said, "vote your conscience".
There is only one candidate that brings the Democratic Party back to its roots and his name is Dennis Kucinich. He will work tirelessly for the diminishing middle class, who will work to elevate our working poor to a livable standard of living. There is only one candidate who can bring the 50% disenfranchised Americans to the polls for the first time because he hears their cries. If you are not familiar with Congressman Kucinich, I encourage you to go to his website, contact the local campaign office, listen to him speak and by all means read/listen to a "Prayer for America". Change comes when you take a 'leap of faith', when you say 'no more'! It does not come through evolution, but rather revolution.
If we as the guardians of the Constitution, stop dreaming for a better tomorrow what do we have in its place…more of the same? Is this good enough for the greatest nation on the planet?
I would like to take this opportunity to wish all my fellow Americans a happy holiday season and a prosperous and healthy New Year! A vote for Kucinich and his Department of Peace is a vote for Peace of Earth.

Mentioned Dennis Kucinich to a friend on Thanksgiving. She asked, "is that the one who looks like Dr. Spock, with the pointy ears?" I never thought of if, but now I can see it. I also think he is cute and even a little sexy. His wife is gorgeous and intelligent and also compassionate, as is he.
He is excellent in debates--right on top of anything thrown at him. He put Tucker Carlson in his place,
has handled every interview admirably. He is informed well beyond the top three. He's got it!
The corporates, including media, are trying to ignore him. That's a good sign.
Why did he vote against the Patriot Act, he was asked. "Because I read it!" was his answer. I love this guy!

I was not going to vote for reps or dems anymore but this guy seems as though he would give it his all,,and we really need that. Wonder who he has in mind for VP? Maybe that dopctor that did not make it the last time? He was another good guy.
All the other will be loking for another Spiro Agnew.

They know that they can influence the sheep into believing anything. Hence we will get another piece of trash voted in as president and vice president.
I know this because I live amongst them.

Australian Open: web review
After Roger's great success Down Under, here is an overview of media articles from the web:
I'm human too, says Open winner Federer (The Age)
Roger Federer would like everyone to know he is indeed human and that people probably don't realise how close he was to losing the Australian Open final to Cypriot sensation Marcos Baghdatis.
Federer leaving no stone unturned for French Open (Reuters UK)
Roger Federer is leaving nothing to chance in his bid to win the French Open and complete his own version of the grand slam. Federer's victory over Marcos Baghdatis in Sunday's Australian Open final gave the Swiss master his seventh grand slam singles title and put him on course for a shot at the "Roger Slam."
Federer delivers Slam (The London Free Press)
[or] Still perfect (Daily News)
[or] Beat him 'n' weep (Calgary Sun)
[or] Stellar Federer slams another (Akron Beacon Journal)
[or] For Federer, his only loss is for words (Knoxville News Sentinel)
Always in control on the court, Roger Federer was overcome with emotion while accepting his Australian Open trophy from one of the few people he's still trying to match. The top-ranked Federer fulfilled overwhelming expectations by beating unlikely Greek finalist Marcos Baghdatis 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2 in yesterday's final to claim his seventh Grand Slam title and third in succession.
Swiss Slam (Globe and Mail)
To his evolving legend, sublime tennis player Roger Federer can add blubbering grown man. The Swiss was so overcome after defeating Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2 in the Australian Open final yesterday that he could not speak for several moments at the trophy ceremony.
One down, three to go for the Slam (KansasCity.com)
The only sure things in life are death, taxes — and Roger Federer in a Grand Slam final. Federer, the No. 1 seed, put an end to Marcos Baghdatis' Cinderella story with a 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2 victory Sunday in the Australian Open men's final in Melbourne, Australia. It was the seventh Grand Slam title for Federer, who has never lost a Slam final. At 24, Federer is halfway to Pete Sampras' all-time record of 14 Grand Slam titles. Sampras also was 24 when he won his seventh title.
Federer eyes Paris through tears (rediff.com)
World number one Roger Federer had hardly wiped away the tears after winning his second Australian Open before he turned his attention to Paris.
Federer was an emotional wreck when he received the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup from Rod Laver in the stadium named after the great Australian following a 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2 win over unseeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in Sunday's final. Laver was the last man to hold all four Grand Slams simultaneously and now Federer has the chance to emulate him.
Federer so emotional after final fightback (icliverpool.com)
ROGER FEDERER broke down in tears after winning his seventh grand slam title in the Australian Open.
The Swiss star was overcome with emotion after powering back from a set down to beat unseeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis in Melbourne.
Federer ends Baghdatis's magic-carpet ride (The Hindu)
A tearful Roger Federer claimed his seventh Grand Slam title on Sunday, overcoming an early challenge from unseeded Marcos Baghdatis to win the Australian Open 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2. Federer's experience under pressure showed as the top-ranked Swiss star stepped up his game and won 11 straight games from 5-5 in the second set. The 24-year-old Federer won the Wimbledon and U.S. Open titles last year. He will try to win his fourth straight major later this year on clay at the French Open — the only Grand Slam event he has never won.
Record May Be a Slam Dunk (LA Times)
Federer's Australian Open win is his seventh major title, the same number Sampras had at age 24 and halfway to the all-time mark.
This was, after all, Rod Laver's house, and the beloved man himself was on hand to present the trophy to the 2006 Australian Open champion, Roger Federer of Switzerland, a symbolic moment between a legend and one poised on deck. That combination helped make Federer's teardrops explode. here is something about the mere presence of Laver, winner of two calendar-year Grand Slams and 11 Slam tournaments overall, that can render even the most accomplished player speechless — and the relief Federer showed Sunday after defeating unseeded Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus, 5-7, 7-5, 6-0, 6-2, in 2 hours 47 minutes turned into not only a loss of words but a torrent of tears on the podium and a couple of hugs with Laver.
FEDERER: I MADE IT HARD FOR MYSELF (sportinglife.com)
Roger Federer admitted he had been far from his best after securing his seventh grand slam title in the Australian Open. Federer was a set and a break down to unseeded Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis before fighting back to win 5-7 7-5 6-0 6-2 in Melbourne. The world number one, who saved two break points to avoid going 3-0 down in the second set, is now halfway to matching Pete Sampras' record of 14 grand slam titles.
Ur tryly the god of tennis!!
Im sure this time Rolland Garros courts will finally realise that!!
Wish u all the luck in life!!
love U!!
You really are the best player and you deserve all these good things that are happening with you!
Roger Slam, there you go!
Roland Garros, wait for Roger!

A Sybil, named after the famous psychiatric case of Shirley Mason who reportedly had 16 personalities, and popularized by the book and movie "Sybil" is somebody who acts moody and irregularly. In a self-description, it may refer to a feeling of being "not quite oneself".
Just an hour ago, she seemed fine, now she's lost her temper again. She's a real Sybil.

The most gorgeous girl in the world. She is amazing and will melt your heart with just her smile. She is independent and has more swag than most men can handle. She is a rare find and well worth the effort it takes to get inside her heart. Once there she will do anything for you and make you feel like no one ever has.
I met this girl named Sybil and life will never be the same.

Definition of lordosis in English:
noun[mass noun]
1 Medicine Excessive inward curvature of the spine. Compare with kyphosis.
Example sentences
- Participants who find their backs are excessively arched may find it easier to place their feet on the edge of the bench, which will help to reduce their lordosis.
- The Thomas test will help to identify the presence of a hip flexion contracture by eliminating the effects of excessive lumbar lordosis on the perceived extension of the hip.
- A side view of a normal spinal column demonstrates reciprocal curves, beginning with cervical lordosis and then lumbar lordosis.
1.1A posture assumed by some female mammals during mating, in which the back is arched downward.
Example sentences
- These hormonal effects have been demonstrated most clearly for reproductive behaviors, such as the mounting of female animals by males and the receptive lordosis posture adopted by females in response to these mounts.
- The expression of the lordosis posture is under tonic inhibition by brain nuclei whose activity is suppressed by steroid hormones from the preovulatory follicles.
- The limitation is, particularly in female mice, is all you can study is lordosis, or the posturing of the female mouse receptive to male sexual function.
- Example sentences
- The lateral view provides a good image of the vertebral bodies, facet joints, lordotic curves, disc space height, and intervertebral foramen.
- Since the lumbar lordotic curvature is maximal in this midline area, the midline retroperitoneal structures lie far forward and are very accessible.
- Radiographs may show pre-existing degenerative changes or a slight flattening of the lordotic curvature of the neck.
Early 18th century: modern Latin, from Greek lordōsis, from lordos 'bent backwards'.

About the Book
The "stakes" are high and vampires rule when legendary author Jane Austen joins the ranks of the undead in Janet Mullany's bloody wonderful literary mash-up, Jane and the Damned. In the bestselling tradition of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies; Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters; and Mr. Darcy, Vampyre, comes a supremely smart and wickedly fun novel that renders the beloved creator of Persuasion and Emma truly immortal—as Mullany pits a transformed Jane Austen and her vampire friends against savage hordes of invading French!<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Jane Austen
Novelist . . . gentlewoman . . .Damned, Fanged, and Dangerous to know.
Aspiring writer Jane Austen knows that respectable young ladies like herself are supposed to shun the Damned—the beautiful, fashionable, exquisitely seductive vampires who are all the rage in Georgian England in 1797. So when an innocent (she believes) flirtation results in her being turned—by an absolute cad of a bloodsucker—she acquiesces to her family's wishes and departs for Bath to take the waters, the only known cure.
But what she encounters there is completely unexpected: perilous jealousies and further betrayals, a new friendship and a possible love. Yet all that must be put aside when the warring French invade unsuspecting Bath—and the streets run red with good English blood. Suddenly only the staunchly British Damned can defend the nation they love . . . with Jane Austen leading the charge at the battle's forefront.

ALAMEDA -- High school yearbooks contain cherished memories. They also provide snapshots in time of the community that the school served. Alameda High School's "Acorn" yearbooks of the late 1930s and early 1940s (Encinal High did not open until 1952) serve as cases in point.
A look at those yearbooks compiled before the Pearl Harbor attack of Dec. 7, 1941, reveals photographs of many students of Japanese descent. Shortly thereafter, the lack of a Japanese-American presence at Alameda High is starkly noticeable, the students and their families having been "relocated" from the West Coast. Some eventually returned to Alameda. Many did not.
On Saturday, the stories of some of those Japanese-Americans will come to life at the main branch of the Alameda Free Library. There, the public will get a taste of Alameda life from decades ago in the form of a program, "Honoring Alameda's Japanese-American History: Screening of Stories from Alameda's Japanese Community."
"We interviewed 12 people, but technically, we have 14 films," documentarian/producer Jeannette Copperwaite said. "But we're going to show a general documentary."
The forced evacuation and relocation of Japanese-Americans -- as per Executive Order 9066, issued by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Feb. 19, 1942 -- is a bleak period in U.S. history. The immigrants from Japan ("Issei") and their U.S.-born children ("Nisei") were forced to leave behind their homes, jobs and businesses.
But the forced relocation and internment was but one chapter in the Japanese-American community's long struggle for acceptance by the mainstream.
"Technically, the focus is not on the internment camps, but that is a part of it," Copperwaite said.
"It's about (Japanese-American) people who have been associated with Alameda," said David Hall, the library's supervising librarian of technology and technical services. "It covers different generations ... it goes back a long way."
Current Alameda residents might not know, for instance, that the island once had a sizable and thriving Japanese-American community -- a "thriving Japantown," as Hall puts it, with its own shops, churches and baseball teams. Some facets of that community, such as the Alameda Buddhist Temple and the Buena Vista United Methodist Church still exist.
"Where you're sitting right now (the library's main branch) was part of Japantown," Hall said.
As in other West Coast cities, Alameda's Japantown resulted in large part from segregation. By the laws of the day, Issei were prohibited from owning land, though their Nisei children could. Any purchases of land, therefore, were placed under the names of the children.
Nonetheless, the residents made the best of what most would consider a bad situation. Except little is heard about it today.
"There was this thriving district, but it was really challenging to find anything," Copperwaite said. "My feeling is that the people of Alameda didn't think that the Japanese community was worth covering."
Also, much might have been discarded or destroyed. Some stories tell of Issei and Nisei up and down the West Coast, who -- in an effort to prove their loyalty to the United States -- removed any artifact connected to Japan from their residences or businesses.
"People told me about that here; one person told me about burying dolls and kimonos," Copperwaite said. "Also, people stored a lot of personal things at the Buena Vista United Methodist social hall."
Japanese-Americans still maintain a presence on the island. But Alameda's Japantown never came back to life.
"People would try to move back, but the tenants would not move out," Copperwaite said. "There was a housing shortage."
Japanese-American history in Alameda goes back to the late 19th century. "Honoring Alameda's Japanese-American History," which will take place Saturday in the main library's Regina K. Stafford Room from 2-4 p.m., promises to have much to tell, providing us greater detail than what was evident in those old high school yearbooks.
What: "Honoring Alameda's Japanese-American History"
When: 2-4 p.m. Saturday
Where: Alameda Free Library, Main Branch, Regina K. Stafford Room, 1550 Oak St., Alameda

Paul Outerbridge: Color Photographs from Mexico and California, the 1950s
June 14–September 7, 2008
In 1943, after a decade of pioneering work in color photography, American photographer Paul Outerbridge (1896-1958) moved to Southern California. He settled in Laguna Beach, a seaside town and an artists' haven just two hours north of the Mexican border. In the tradition of Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Anton Bruehl, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, all of whom made significant photographic forays into Mexico and who also photographed in California, Outerbridge visited the seaport towns along California's coastline and Mexico's Baja peninsula making a new kind of color photograph that show virtuosic use of form, color and atmosphere from vernacular. These recently printed 1950s Kodachrome transparencies demonstrate that Paul Outerbridge anticipated the work of William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Joel Meyerowitz and others who, in the mid-1970s are credited with codifying "the New Color" in photography. This last and exemplary body of work by one of America's greatest Modernist masters of the 1920s and 30s shows us that new ways of seeing can be accomplished simply by seeing everyday subjects in a different way.
This exhibition has been organized and circulated by Curatorial Assistance Traveling Exhibitions (CATE), Pasadena, California.
The Ann Arbor presentation is made possible in part by the University of Michigan Health System and Ernestine and Herbert Ruben.

I have been avoiding running on the trails since it started snowing, but i am craving it now that its light out again when i get out of work.
So how do you deal with snow and ice on the trails?? I have trail running shoes I love but im not sure how they would be in snow/ice (solomon speedcross 2).
I just feel like regardless of gear . . . running on trails with snow/ice just doesnt seem safe at all. But i know that people do it all the time, so basically, I want to run on trails in the snow/ice, but i'm scared, any advice or words of encouragement?
(It is still quite dark when I run at ~ 5:30pm in CT, i heard some runners use headlamps for night trail running, does this really work? I question it only because I grew up camping and in scouts, the woods is a dark place at night, i dont feel like a simple headlamp can give you enough light to actually run on a trail)
Using a combo of headlamp and handheld flashlight was worked really well for me and other ultra runners I know. Having the light on your head takes some getting used to but having both is a very reliable system. Lot's of my midwest and east coast peeps use some sort of traction control on the trails. Kahtoola MICROspikes Traction System is well-know as well as the Yaktrax Pro Sounds like you've got cabin fever!!!
OMG! Thank you so much for the advice toby! I had no idea people used spikes like that on their shoes for running! I Ordered them as soon as I read this haha! Along with a headlamp, I cant wait to get back on the trail!
Unfortunately I have to wait until the spike etc come in, hopefully they come in today (in route!) so I can go out and assess the trails in the daylight before i venture off into the dark on a weekday.
If you plan to run a lot, I would send your Yak Trax back and get some Kahtoolas. The rubber on the Yak Trax will wear out quick. Kahtoolas are burly but will last. I run in the snow/ice a lot as well and a friend recommended trying screw shoes. I haven't tried it yet but I plan on it.
Actually the spikes i mentioned before were kahtoolas, I go them in but I have not been able to try them out, it is still dark when I get out of work so I am waiting for the weekend to get adjusted to this new style of running in the daylight.
safety first =P
I used to trail run alot in Ohio in the winter. Fresh snow is a good thing, sleet or a warming trend is a really bad thing. Where the trail slants to the downhill side avoid the trail - run just to the margin (less chance of ice under the snow.
My wife bought a headlight for the dog and I was surprised at how well it worked.
I spent three years in PA and ran year-around on the trails. Most of my running as early morning and I used a good Petzel light system. The LEDs would easily show the difference between ice and road. When it snowed, I would back off the speed a bit and take it easy on any turn. For traction, I used tacks put in my shoes more more traction. there are some fancy systems that you can buy, but I used the old-school solutions. Generally running in fresh snow is the best as you will have good traction all around. after it gets beat down a bit the ice really can be a problem. When that happens, I moved to roads that had been salted and plowed.
Running inside all winter on treadmill = hamster syndrome!!
Get outside!! I agree with a good LED light (I tape a small "shelf" under mine to keep the glare off of the inside of my glasses).
Forget the YakTrax. Kahtoola's give good traction but are heavy and bothered the ball of my feet (I don't like straps anyways). Screw shoes used to be the winner (used for several years) but did not last nearly long enough -- I was changing weekly while in training for a spring marathon. Tried Icespike last year and will never go back -- by far the best option out there! Lightweight, comfortable, excellent traction, last longer.
Lastly, although I hate the thought of it, I do carry a cell phone (turned off) in case of emergencies if I am going out alone.
Glad to hear you found Icespike as well. It really is far superior for the reasons you mentioned and for me as a big guy, it comes down to traction. Icespike gives me the confidence to just go, even on sheet ice.
A handheld flashlight is great. You can point it where ever you need to. Its good for smacking the odd coyote, wolf , polar bear on the noggin.
I have a question about the Icespikes that you just screw into your shoes. Some of the places that I like to run are partially clear but then there are sections that are ice and snow covered. Can you wear the Icespikes running on that, where you go from pavement to ice and snow? I think that the answer is yes, but I wanted to hear from you who have used them. Thanks in advance for your answers.
I think you can use the spikes on road, but remember it will dull them out. I've seen some people with the clip-on ... can't remember the name of them, but they look like springs crisscrossing the soles. They seem to do an adequite job with the snow.
I had some trial and error, much error, with the running with a light source at night. First up I tried a cool little flashlight that fits in the palm of your hand and gives great illumination. So of course after the first run it started going off. I guess the jostling of it being in a runner's hand was the downfall. Then I went to the LED things that clip on to your baseball cap. Not bright enough. Then a head lamp that straps on with LED. Not bright enough. Finally I found a head lamp that uses 2 aaa batteries and isnt led. It has two degrees of brightness and can adjust. It works great, I'm quite pleased with it. The only downside is, if its right on your sink its COLD when its cold out, but if you can put it overtop your running cap you will be fine.

Is the Future of Food in Tokyo?
TOKYO–The humble euglena gracilis is tiny, green and very strange: Part animal and part plant, the darting little long-tailed beastie can be found by the millions in nutrient-rich freshwater ponds.
And Japan's Mitsuru Izumo thinks it can feed and fuel the world.
The 33-year-old visionary, who receives the prestigious Japan-U.S. Emerging Leader in Innovation Award at Stanford University's Japan-U.S. Innovation Symposium tomorrow, has raised millions in venture capital from some of Japan's biggest brands and best-known entrepreneurs to launch and build Euglena, a company dedicated to turning the humble microorganism for which it's named into a valuable commodity.
The Japanese slang term for euglena is midorimushi, which translates literally into "green bug." It's only half accurate, since euglena gracilis isn't a bug — it's a single-celled protist — but it most certainly is green, due to the fact that euglena are one of the very few animal-like creatures on Earth that are capable of photosynthesis.
This hybrid status gives euglena some highly unusual properties: While it can survive and thrive on carbon dioxide, water and sunlight like a plant, it nevertheless produces both plant and animal lipids and amino acids, making it one of nature's few "whole" sources of fat and protein — the omnivore's solution, if you will. As if that weren't enough, it also manufactures a unique starchlike carbohydrate, paramylon, that shows signs of effectiveness in boosting immune systems, reducing cholesterol and moderating insulin response when used as a nutritional supplement, plus a rich array of anti-oxidants like beta-carotene and vitamins C and E.
All this makes the euglena a rather intriguing creature, which helps explain Izumo's fervent belief in the organism's unique potential. He literally wears his passion on his chest — he's never seen without his signature neon-green tie — and it extends to the decor of Euglena's headquarters, where doors and walls are covered with bright-eyed slogans like "Another future," "Our weapon is euglena" and "The possibilities are limitless."
But it's all in line with the equally fantastic story behind the company's founding, which begins over a decade ago, when Izumo was a freshman at Japan's prestigious Tokyo University.
"When I was 18, during our summer vacation period, I went to Bangladesh to take an internship with Grameen Bank, basically to see all of their programs and write a summary of their activities," he says. "And what I saw there led me to decide that I wanted to dedicate my life to solving the world's problems — poverty, malnutrition, hunger. But I also knew that it would take a miracle to do that."
An avid manga reader, Izumo's thoughts naturally turned to his favorite adventure series, Dragon Ball, which prominently featured a foodstuff known as senzu beans. The magical legumes are so nutritious that a single bean can sustain an adult for 10 days, and can heal injuries that might otherwise be fatal.
"What I realized was that the miracle that the world needed was 'senzu beans,'" he says. "But senzu is fiction. Did anything like that exist in reality? I researched and researched, I even switched my major to agricultural sciences, and I found nothing."
That was when Kengo Suzuki, one of Izumo's new colleagues at Tokyo University's agriculture division, suggested he take a look at the euglena. Izumo did, and realized Suzuki had stumbled upon the answer.
"Senzu beans have all the nutrients people need — and so do euglena, both plant and animal nutrients," says Izumo. "Only euglena has that characteristic! So I told him, this is it. This is what I've been looking for!"
The problem was that no one had figured out a way to efficiently farm euglena outside of the laboratory in quantities large enough for exploitation. Though Suzuki had some promising ideas, they were still very much in the early development stage — not yet ready to put in front of funders. When a frustrated Izumo graduated from Tokyo University, still obsessed with finding a way to make a euglena-based future possible, he took a typical job for a graduate from the nation's top school, working at the giant Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi.
It would take a meeting with a former "sempai" — elder schoolmate — at Tokyo University to bring Izumo's green-bug dream back to life. The sempai in question was flamboyant dot-com entrepreneur Takafumi Horie, who had acquired and relaunched the bankrupt ISP Livedoor and turned it into Japan's biggest digital services provider. Horie's personal style and public identity outraged Japan's staid and conservative corporate establishment — he dated models and actresses, drove an exotic sports car and was the nucleus of a similarly young and wild circle of startup mavens who were called the "Roppongi Hills Tribe."
Despite being alumni of the same top college, the carefree and reckless Horie and the earnest, idealistic Izumo couldn't be more different. Yet Horie immediately connected with Izumo's outsized enthusiasm, and, in 2005, he offered his junior the angel capital to seed-fund his euglena-based startup.
"Mr. Horie was our very first investor," says Izumo. In addition to capital, "he offered me a desk and a PC at Livedoor on the 38th floor at Roppongi Hills; he gave me access to meeting space, desks, chairs — many, many things."
Izumo promptly quit his banking job and moved into the swank Livedoor complex in Roppongi — "This choice was very shocking to my parents," admits Izumo" — and began building the midorimushi future.
But only a year later, everything would come apart again. On January 18, 2006, investigators raided Livedoor and arrested Horie for securities fraud, alleging that he had falsified accounting records to turn a massive loss into a $60 million profit in order to fool shareholders. According to the Associated Press, Horie was convicted on securities fraud charges in 2007 and after an unsuccessful appeal, went to prison in 2011 for nearly two years before being released on parole in March of this year. Izumo managed to avoid being swept up in the mayhem, "but of course, I was pushed out of Roppongi Hills! And because Horie-san was captured, I had to start over and find a new backer."
The investor who stepped up to give Euglena a fresh start was none other than Makoto Naruke, the former president of Microsoft Japan, and now the founder and director of the investment and consulting group Inspire. Naruke is well known for both his brilliance and his eccentricities; called "the business world's most prolific reader," he admits to be simultaneously reading over 10 books at any given time, claiming that this "Super Parallel" method helps to stimulate and activate many different parts of his brain. Naruke has said that "childlike persistence, defiance and simplicity are much more important" to business success than skills or experience. It's not surprising that he found Izumo's pitch appealing.
"Naruke-san funded a second startup for Euglena, allowing me to bring on Mr. Suzuki as our CTO and Mr. [Takayuki] Fukumoto as our CMO," says Izumo. "He became my mentor, and is still one of our key advisors."
The second chance gave Izumo and Suzuki the opportunity to solve the problem of cultivating Euglena at an industrial scale. "Before our innovation, euglena could be grown in clean rooms a few liters at a time," says Izumo. "We are able to produce them in outdoor cultivation ponds, currently at the rate of 140 tons a week."
Unlocking that conundrum was enough to convince VCs, as well as leading companies like Itochu All Nippon Airlines and Nippon Oil Corporation, to jump onto Euglena's bandwagon. Just last year, Izumo took Euglena public on the Tokyo Stock Exchange's MOTHERS ("Market Of The High-growth and Emerging Stocks") Index, a listing focused on young, fast-rising enterprises. Since then, the stock has skyrocketed, hitting a peak in May of 16,510 yen, almost ten times its original offering price — based in part on rumors that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's vow to stimulate the nation's moribund economy would lead to a turbo-boost in government funding for biotech and greentech startups.
But there's more behind Euglena's rise than just speculation: The company is a rare example of a green biotech startup that's actually making money while growing fast. Euglena has been profitable since 2010, and has seen revenues boom by nearly 300% over the past three years.
Today, Euglena's business is based on the production of health foods and supplements that leverage euglena's unique nutritional profile, including euglena-boosted meal replacement bars, protein powders, cookies and even "green curry."
"In Japan alone, the supplement market represents about a 10 billion yen opportunity," says Izumo. "And I think we can easily grow that by three times in a few years. Soon we'll be cleared to export euglena to Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan — China alone is at least a 30 billion yen market. We are looking to expand to the U.S. and Europe, but those markets are not as familiar with the idea of eating something like seaweed." Izumo notes, however, that other microorganism-based supplements, such as chlorella and spirulina, have proven successful in the West. "Euglena is very similar to those, so we can adapt their ways of marketing."
But health foods are just a short-term emphasis. They're also exploring partnerships in the cosmetics space for a euglena extract they've called Rejuna, which has been shown to reduce fine wrinkles and signs of skin fatigue. They have a pilot program using euglena as animal and fish feed.
"In Japan, we eat a lot of fish, and so we're spending a great deal of money in aquaculture, and right now the feed is being imported from China," says Izumo. "The government is very interested in using euglena as an innovative food source for fish."
But long term, of course, the opportunity is all about green energy. Or green bug energy. There are other companies, such as U.S.-based Solazyme, that are exploring the use of algae as feedstock for the distillation of biodiesel. But Euglena believes its euglena-based solution has an edge, due to the ease with which crude euglena oil can be refined into usable fuel.
"Our problem is scale," says Izumo. "We estimate that with a investment of 100 billion yen, we will be able to build a one-square-kilometer cultivation pool, the minimum we would need to be cost competitive as fuel." The resulting biodiesel would still be slightly more expensive than standard diesel — about 200 yen per liter, as compared to the current 150 yen per liter for traditional fuel. "But we are seeking to be a 'low carbon carrier,' not a 'low cost carrier,'" says Izumo. "We would be able to produce about 10% of the jet fuel needed by Japan, sustainably and in a way that increases our energy independence."
The company, which is currently exploring potential cultivation sites in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and even Florida and Hawaii, with the goal of beginning bio-jet fuel production in 2018. Euglena's promise as a source of green "black gold" explains the stakes taken by ANA and Nippon Oil in the company. And yet, to Izumo, all of these commercial opportunities are still just enablers to his original aim — of finding a miracle that can save the world.
That's why Euglena has now come full circle, partnering with the Bangladeshi government on a program in which the company will set up a plant in the country to produce euglena-based protein biscuits, to be distributed for free to school-aged children.
"Just 50 grams of biscuit a day can supplement the child's standard diet with all the protein, and all the necessary minerals, fatty acids and vitamins they need," says Izumo. "We calculate that the cost will come to just 10 yen — 10 cents — per day. Everything will be manufactured in Bangladesh, by Bangladeshis. Because their tastes are different from Japanese, and we want to make sure these are made for local tastes, or otherwise, the children won't eat them." (Izumo's aide, Mohammed Akharuzzaman, notes in an aside that given Bangladesh's Muslim population, the company has sought out word on euglena's dietary status under Islam and believes it to be halal: "We are receiving official approval from a halal authority soon.")
The company currently makes euglena biscuits in meal-replacement bar and in cookie form. Izumo graciously provides me with boxes of both varieties to sample. The Euglena Bar is dense and filling, cakey but with a faint undertone of ocean. The Euglena Cookies are sweeter, with a heavier crumb. Both are perfectly fine (and packed with protein and 59 micronutrients).
"These are made for Japanese tastes," says Akharuzzaman. "In Bangladesh, they like very sweet things, so the recipe will be fortified with more sugar and salt."
But regardless of the recipe, the core ingredient of the biscuits, the fine, lime-colored dried euglena powder that looks like new green tea, is the same. And, says Izumo, the 10 yen per child cost will only drop as the company ramps up cultivation for other purposes: The high-protein powder is essentially a free byproduct of the process that extracts euglena oil for biodiesel.
Food. Fuel. Magic. All wrapped up in a little green bug.
"I do think we have found it," says Izumo, breaking out in a broad smile. "Euglena is our real-life senzu bean."

My 15 year old DS had his phone out at school, supposedly, his friend was showing him how the screws came off, so he can replace a cracked screen. They are not allowed to have their phones out or use them at school. A teacher saw his phone out & gave him detention. We told him to suck it up & take the punishment since he broke the rules. The punishment is 3 hours detention or swats. DS wanted to take the swats but we said no, take the 3 hour detention. This will really drive the point home to him, IMO. Sometimes he gets a little sassy & cocky & needs a sad reminder of the reality that he is only 15, not 25, lol.
Anyway, he looked really sad getting out of the car today & I felt kinda bad for him. Not bad enough to change my mind, however.
What do you think? Should we have let him take the swats? Swats seems really demeaning to a 15 year old.
Does your child's school allow cell phone use?

The War Z producer Sergey Titov has issued a lenghty apology letter to fans detailing exactly what went wrong as well as his plans for the future of the game. He covers some of the controversies—the many, many controversies—that have surrounded the game since it launched earlier this month, and confesses some of his own shortcomings as well.
"I became arrogant and blinded by the early success and quick growth of The War Z," Titov writes. "This failure is entirely on my shoulders and if anything I owe thanks to that vocal minority and admit that I should have paid attention sooner."
There's plenty more where that came from, though other parts of the letter seem a little fishy: "I was too focused on how great we are and how a small independent team got their first game to over 700,000 users in a two-month period," Titov writes. We'd argue that this wasn't the appropriate time to toot your own horn so hard, but oh well.
The full text of the letter is on the next page. In your opinion, can The War Z be redeemed?

Erwin needed to pick up something from a friend's apartment. While waiting for him, we saw Kayo-buchou and Uematsu-buchou pass by. They asked how we were doing, then continued on their way.
A moment later, my phone rang. Kayo-buchou invited us to dinner at Mizuho, the place where we had our welcome party. Naturally, I couldn't back out of that, even though I had been looking forward to talking to my family through Skype.
It was fun, though, and everyone was full.
Then a really cool thing happened during the dinner. See the next note! =)

NEW MOON OF THE GOOSE FLIGHT VOLUME 6 NUMBER 21 MARCH 1, 1977 CHAIRMAN ASSIGNED NEW DUTIES AND RAISE IN PAY Dixon: The Tribal Council has taken yet another step toward the reorganization of Tribal Government. A new job description has been written and approved for the Tribal Chairman's duties. The position now includes permanent full time duties, directing the Chairman to be employed five days per week, a minimum of 40 hours per week. As of February 7, the present Chairman Harold Mitchell, Jr., is responsible for the overall planning for direction, execution, and co-ordination of the Tribes extensive and varied programs. Mitchell is under the direction of the Tribal Council, and exercises supervision over all Tribal Employees, property, monetary funds, and Tribal land holdings. Mitchell is required to make monthly visits to all Tribal Programs in order to monitor their progress and to keep himself informed of any problems that should arise within any department. The Chairman is then obligated to report back to the full Council of his findings. Continued on next page DISTRICT MEETING-ST. IGNATIUS THERE WILL BE A RESERVATION-WIDE TRIBAL COUNCIL DISTRICT MEETING AT THE ST. IGNATIUS COMMUNITY CENTER MARCH 15, TUESDAY EVENING, 7:00 P.M. THE MAIN TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION Wl LL BE LOGGING SALES IN THE ST. IGNATIUS AREA -- ST. MARY'S UNIT. ALL TRIBAL MEMBERS ARE TO ATTEND. ief ostahtah Tribal Archives Now Reality Dixon: ( Staff) For many years the Tribal Council and individuals have instituted historical research on the Tribes of our reservation however, no one person ever said, " What are we to do with this information that we are accumulating ? " No one until now, that is. Historical researcher, Bob Bigart, of Missoula, has worked with the Tribe and on his own for many years accumulating piles of information. Information which remained in folders and files, sometimes put into use for legal procedures; or in magazine and newspaper articles, but his dream all along was to make this information available to all the members and interested non-Indians of this area. The Tribal Council is finally taking action to put Bob's dream into reality by initiating the Tribal Archives Project. The Council in conjunction with Bob and the Kootenai/Salish Cultural Committees, are laying down the ground work for a project which will organize and preserve all the historical data available pertaining to the Confederated Tribes of the Flathead Reservation. The Tribal Archivist will be hired on a permanent basis this year, and housing for the project may be found in a much needed Cultural Center, which the Council has also been discussing for several years. The Archivist will receive training from Bob Bigart on the organization of the project, and jyill possibly be sent to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington D.C., for specialized training in preservation of historical documents. As the collection develops, much of the Archivist's time would be used in assisting users of the Archives. Users of the working Archives would be high school and college students doing research papers, local people -- both Indian and non-Indian -- doing research in local history and genealogy and Tribal and Federal officials who need to establish legal precedents and previous uses of reservation resources. The Council has delegated the authority for formulating the program to the Tribal Education Committee, who will oversee the planning and operation of the Archives. The position of Tribal Archivist will be advertised in the near future, and the Committee will be actively recruiting Tribal members for the position. If you are interested in becoming involved in this project, please call the Tribal Chairman or ^Secretary for more information at 246-3595.
