Safari Park perseveres
With new name and ever-changing attractions, former Wild Animal Park succeeds even in sagging economy
Safari Park Facts
Size: An 1,800-acre wildlife preserve just north of state Route 78 in the San Pasqual Valley. About 900 acres are part of the public "park experience" with the rest used for research, breeding, or designated as open space.
Attendance: Although it doesn't share exact numbers, the Safari Park averages more than 1.5 million visitors annually. The San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park sees about 3.5 million visitors each year.
Cost: Varies widely with different packages, memberships, and options available.
Hours: Open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Feb. 15. Hours are longer later in the year.
San Pasqual Valley
Forty years after it opened to the public, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park in the San Pasqual Valley east of Escondido remains a unique and more-popular-than-ever North County destination and experience.
Not even the Great Recession could hurt attendance, park officials say.
"We honestly thought as an organization that the economy was going to be a hit," said Rick Shwartz, the zoo and Safari Park official ambassador (the Joan Embry of today). "But we found that our numbers stayed the same. There was very little change. We have no way of tracking why that is. Our only guess … is that while we might not have had as many out-of-town tourists, because we are such a unique facility, a lot of locals took advantage of it."
Safari Park, of course, was known for years as the San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park, and many longtime visitors will always think of it as such.
Some resistance existed at first about the name change, but almost two years later the minor controversy has calmed down.
"The truth is for the vast amount of tourists who come here from other countries the term 'safari' translates much better than 'wild animals,' " Schwartz said. "In a couple languages it translated into 'animals running amok.' Wild for us means 'the wild,' the wild frontier. 'Wild' in other languages means 'out of control.' So do you really want to go to the animals-out-of-control park?"
The park and zoo are run by the nonprofit San Diego Zoo Global, formerly known as the San Diego Zoological Society.
The zoo has facilities in 35 locations around the world, most of them animal or plant conservation projects, and is known not just for the zoo and Safari Park, but for its efforts to repopulate animal species.
The park is home to more than 2,600 animals representing more than 300 species, as well as thousands of different, often exotic, plants.
Before the park opened its doors to the public, it had been operating as a breeding complex for the zoo for nearly a decade. Partly in response to donor requests, the decision was made in the late 1960s to open part of it to the public and it did so, after some construction delays, in May 1972.
It is a vast park compared to a typical zoo. Many species — such as rhinoceros and giraffe — are allowed to mingle in wide open parts of the complex, at least those animals that won't eat one another.
"The idea was to create a breeding facility here in the United States that would help keep the population viable in many species," Shwartz said. Some of the animals needed large swathes of land that could mimic their home turf of Africa or Asia.
"At the time, there was nothing else like it in the United States. It was a whole new concept in zoo experience," he said.
The breeding and research arm of San Diego Zoo Global still goes strong at the park. There have been many success stories over the years, including the California condor, Arabian and Scimitar oryx, white rhinos and Przewalski's horses.
The park is constantly changing and adding features, like its zip line and jungle ropes attractions, and just recently ground was broken for a new tiger exhibit.
It can be crowded at times, but Schwartz suggests the best times might be when few would consider dropping by.
"I tell people you've got come during a rainy day, because nobody else wants to," he said. "If you put on a light rain jacket, you cannot only have the place to yourself, but you can observe animal behavior you wouldn't normally see on a sunny day.
"Some animals will cluster together, some will get more active because they enjoy the rain, and some roll around and act silly. You never know what you're going to see on a rainy day."
Many mornings, even before the ticket windows open, dozens of members with annual passes will be lined up at the gate. The animals are often most active in the early morning. On New Year's Day, many of those waiting to get in then rushed to the gorilla area where longtime resident gorilla Winston was celebrating his 41st birthday by ripping into packages filled with edible treats.
Annual memberships that allow card holders to visit the zoo and Safari Park as many times as they wish in a year are reasonably priced, but for the one-time visitor, it can cost a family of four well over $100 to get in. Then there's a $10 parking fee and lots of other additional options once inside that cost extra.
But Schwartz said officials rarely hear complaints about the prices and points out it's still less expensive than other amusement options for tourists in area.
"If you look at the numbers, we still are one of the cheapest facilities you can come visit here in Southern California. Compared to the other amusement parks in the area that might be on the list of places to go, we still come in under what the other places do. We really haven't had any backlash, any people saying it's not worth it."

US Open: webnews
Flawless Roger Federer sets his sights on Pete Sampras grand-slam record (Times Online)
Consider this – Roger Federer has won more grand-slam titles than Rod Laver or Bjorn Borg and if the world No 1 were to win the next two US Open singles titles, he would equal Bill Tilden's record of six in succession here, and
Tilden did not have too many bona fide challengers.
With every turn of the page, this amazing talent from Switzerland pushes the boundaries of expectation and
brilliance a stage farther and others – from all sports, not only his own – look on in wonder.
By the time of Wimbledon 2008, Federer may enter the tournament with an opportunity to join Pete Sampras, who won 14 grand-slam titles, atop the tennis leaderboard – and who knows, if he has won the French Open and the whole design of the sport has changed, to take a sixth Wimbledon championship in succession would be the record clincher. With this man, you cannot tell.
Federer Collects His 12th Grand Slam Title (New York Times)
Sweat dripped from Roger Federer's black headband in the United States Open men's final, as the endearing newcomer Novak Djokovic held seven set points over him like a mirror to his vulnerability.
Djokovic had been the comedian of the United States Open, a 20-year-old Serb who had won over the crowd with his postmatch impressions of fellow players as well as his gutsy baseline game. Federer did not care for his act. And in the accelerated end, Djokovic, playing in his first Grand Slam final, was not yet ready for the inimitable Federer.
As the world's No. 1 playing in his 14th Grand Slam final, Federer showed why he is the reigning impresario of
tennis. He pounced on Djokovic's mistakes yesterday, dissecting him for a 7-6(4), 7-6(2), 6-4 triumph to collect
his 12th Grand Slam title.
Nerve-racked Federer has Sampras in his sights (Independent)
Making history can be a nerve-racking business. In his all-black outfit Roger Federer looked as cool as a New York fashionista, but the world No 1's stomach was churning. Federer admits that his thoughts are turning more and more towards Pete Sampras's record of 14 Grand Slam titles and, as the prospect of No 12 loomed here, he became apprehensive.
"I've had an upset stomach for the last few days," the Swiss admitted after his 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 victory over Novak
Djokovic in Sunday night's men's singles final of the US Open. "I've been nervous and shaking and had cold hands before the match. I've had it all. I'm supposed to be the experienced guy, who's got used to the situation, but you
never do. "
Federer admitted that a straight-sets defeat was "a bit brutal" for the Serb and added: "I've enjoyed having young
guys challenging me. This is probably my biggest motivation out there. Seeing them challenge me and then beating them in the final is really the best feeling."
You gotta admit: There's nothing like Him (ESPN)
There are two answers: "Yes" and "No." And since we are talking about Him, right now you'd be right with both
Him. The one who just won his fourth straight U.S. Open, his 12th Grand Slam. Him. The one who has been No. 1 for more consecutive weeks in his sport than anyone in the sport's history. Him. The one who has players on the ATP Tour happy when they come in second. Him. The one Jim Courier said, "You have to be in denial" to think you can beat. Him. The one who is so good that in his semifinal match against Nikolay Davydenko, the No. 4 player in the world, he nearly doubled his average number of errors (25; his average unforced errors per match is 12.8) and still won in straight sets. Him. The one who has his game so locked-in that "the best ever" comments are no longer compliments.
Be honest: In your lifetime, have you ever seen anything like Him?
Deserved, But Not Noticed (The Emory Wheel)
If I asked you who the world's most dominant athlete is you might say Tiger Woods. You might be wrong.
Who, then, you ask, could strike such fear in his opponents? Who could have more reign over his sport than even the mighty Tiger?
You only needed to watch the U.S. Open tennis tournament, which concluded on Sunday, to find the answer. I'm sure many know his name, but I don't know if enough people realize the magnitude of what he has just done.
Roger Federer won his fourth-straight U.S. Open, putting another piece of hardware in a trophy case that includes
the last five Wimbledon titles and the last two Australian Open crowns. If you skimmed over any of that read it
again, because it's an enduring hot streak uparalleled by any athlete of our era.
Resilient Roger Federer closes in on record (Telegraph)
Elegantly dressed in tuxedo-style black, Roger Federer last night won his fourth successive US Open title and his
12th grand slam title, putting him just two behind the Pete Sampras record of 14. But only rarely was Federer at his
finest, and he was greatly helped by Serbian Novak Djokovic failing to take his chances in his first slam final.
Djokovic has become well known during this US Open for being the Rory Bremner of tennis, for his excellent
impressions of other top players. But he had been hoping that the American public would also remember him after this fortnight for his tennis, for having won the title. But Djokovic, the first Serbian male to appear in a major final,
was unable to convert his opportunities, with five set-points in the opening set and then a couple more in the second.
So Djokovic, the 20-year-old world No 3 from Belgrade, could easily have been two sets up, but instead he found
himself at two sets down after losing a couple of tie-breaks. And Federer then took the third set to complete a 7-6, 7-6, 6-4 victory and so move into joint second place with Australian Roy Emerson on the list of most grand slam titles won. There was also the small matter of earning the biggest cheque in tennis history, £1.2 million, as he was given a huge bonus for having been the most successful player during the series of warm-up tournaments.
Sampras supports Federer's pursuit (San Bernardino Sun)
Some advice, sports fans: Be sure to appreciate Roger Federer, to relish his brilliance with a racket, to understand exactly what a rare treat a champion of his caliber and character is.
Don't just take my word for it. Listen, instead, to someone who knows a lot more about tennis, someone who figures it is a matter of when - not whether - Federer will break Pete Sampras' records of 14 Grand Slam titles.
Listen to Pistol Pete himself. "I did all I could do in the '90s, and I really thought the 14 would be tough to beat. Little did I know Roger would come along and dominate the way he has - and that could last a while longer," Sampras said Monday in a telephone interview from Los Angeles. "If there's a player and a person that I'd like to see break this, it would be Roger. "He's a great guy. Lets his racket do the talking. One of those humble champions I like."
Still only 26, Federer collected his 12th Grand Slam title Sunday at the U.S. Open by beating Novak Djokovic 7-6(4), 7-6(2), 6-4.

9. Each playing group must report backstage 30 minutes before its scheduled time.
10. Cast members of each play should leave the stage and dressing rooms in good order.
B. Extemporaneous Speaking:
(1) The time limit is 5-7 minutes per speech.
(2) The essential requirement of this contest is that the speaker presents a brief informative talk on a current topic in a informal, conversational manner.
(3) Contestants prepare for this event by familiarizing themselves with topics of current state, national, and international events. Topics will be limited to items that appeared within three months prior to rally in accepted news media.
(4) The contest is conducted as follows:
a. 30 minutes before the contestant's panel is scheduled to speak, each contestant will draw three topics, then select one topic on which they will speak.
b. The contestant then has 30 minutes to review their thinking and any research materials he wishes to bring; during that time, they will prepare the speech and may rehearse it. Only the contestants themselves are allowed in the drawing and practice room.

(3) The purpose of the event is the recreation of the thought and mood of a work of literary art for an audience. Please note "for an audience." The reader is not acting at one extreme, nor are they reading aloud to themselves at the other. They are performers who appeal to the imagination of the audience. They fail if they call attention to themselves, yet they must establish immediate contact with the audience.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi men's and women's tennis teams will travel to Prairie View, Texas, on Wednesday, Feb. 5 to take on the Panthers at 1 p.m. The match was originally scheduled for today but due to the high chance of rain showers the match was rescheduled for Wednesday.
"Our girls are excited at the chance to compete again," Director of Tennis Steve Moore said. "Anytime you have a tough loss the best thing you can do is get out and compete again as soon as possible. These girls have worked so hard and have such great character. I'm excited about Wednesday's opportunity and the chance to try to max out all the things we can control as a team."
The women's team (1-1) is looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to Southern Miss on Saturday. Sophomore Celia Rodriguez and freshmen Kerry Galhos and Judit Vives all picked up singles victories in the loss. The Islanders will meet the Panthers (0-4) who went 7-13 last season and finished 4-3 in the SWAC.
Last season, the Islanders swept PVAM in both meetings, 7-0. In the first meeting, returners Maider Martin, Sandra Burges, Stefania Nicolae, Rodriguez and Ashley Garza each picked up straight-set singles victories at Prairie View. The second time around the Islanders blanked the Panthers in Corpus Christi. This time, Martin, Burges, Nicolae, Rodriguez and Chelsea Horan helped lead the Islanders to victory.
Leading PVAM are seniors Alexandria Young and Brittany Harrell, along with juniors Christine Ngo Gwodog and Erika Bond. The Panthers are coming off a 6-1 loss to UTPA. Prior to that, the squad dropped matches to Maryland Baltimore County, Baylor and Ohio State.
The Islanders men's team (6-3) will return to action after handing UMBC a 5-0 loss at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center in the home opener. The Islanders clinched five singles matches to win its fifth straight match. In the first two weeks of competition, sophomore Guillaume Rauseo and No. 1 singles player Peter Nagy were named the Southland Conference Men's Tennis Athletes of the Week.
"There's a lot these guys need to improve on," Moore said. "This is a very hungry group and they have been getting better every week. We're excited at the chance to compete Wednesday. We have to stay hungry, humble and be ready to play each point with intensity."
The Islanders will face the Panthers (0-4) in their 10th match of the season, including its ninth match away from the Coastal Bend. Last season, Prairie View A&M clinched its 21st SWAC title and advanced to the NCAA Championships.
The last time the two teams met up was in Corpus Christi on March 21. The Islanders garnered a 5-2 victory with Matt Westmoreland, Ricardo Mayagoitia and Rauseo all earning singles wins to lead the Islanders to victory. Prior to that, both teams met up in Prairie View on Feb. 5. A&M - Corpus Christi handed the Panthers a 6-1 loss with Westmoreland, Rauseo, Mayagoitia and Pietro Jordao each posting singles wins.
This season, PVAM has dropped dual matches to UMBC, Rice, UTPA and most recently Oral Roberts. The team is powered by seniors Craig Wiltz and David Aldaz along with five juniors, Daniel Vasquez, Bruno Synder, Trenton Johnson, James Jackson Jr. and Jonathan Dingle.
Following Wednesday's match, the women's team will return home to face UTPA on Monday, Feb. 10 at 3 p.m. at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center. The men's team will next be in action on Sunday, Feb. 16 in Dallas, Texas, against conference foe Oral Roberts.

Man Gets 8 Years for Killing Man in Argument Over Skateboarder
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 12:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 17, 2013 at 12:57 p.m.
TAMPA | A Hillsborough Circuit judge sentenced Trevor Dooley to eight years in prison for the 2010 death of David James, who died after Dooley shot him during an argument over a skateboarder.
Prosecutors and the victim's family had asked the judge for 30 years. Lawyers for Dooley argued for community control.
Dooley, 72, was convicted of manslaughter in November for James' 2010 death. The two men argued over whether a skateboarder had the right to use a community basketball court in their Valrico Twin Lakes neighborhood.
James, who was on the court playing basketball with his 8-year-old daughter Danielle, had given the boy permission to skateboard on the court. Dooley argued that the practice was prohibited.
As the disagreement escalated, Dooley turned to leave and go back to his house across the street from the court. James, witnesses said, spun Dooley around and the men fought. During the struggle, Dooley shot James.
During the trial, Dooley portrayed himself as the true victim, saying he fired only to save his life. After the trial, Dooley, who is black, told reporters the whole case was racist. James, 41, was white.
During the sentencing proceedings, which began at 9:30 a.m., James' family asked the judge to give Dooley the maximum punishment.
"You're a bitter old man trying to convince everyone you're kind and frail," James' widow, Kanina James, told the court Thursday. "I hope your family feels the same pain and heartache we feel."
David James' daughter also expressed her sentiments through a letter that was read in court.
"Who carries a gun while washing his car," the girl wrote. "I never wanted my dad's last word to be 'Call an ambulance. I've been shot.' "

The Book: A Contemporary View
This exhibition addresses the themes of the book as object, subject, and concept. Stretching the definition of book, the show includes artist-made books, deconstructed books, and book installations. In an age where the printed book may soon be an anachronism, artists remain fascinated by the subject and materials of the book.
There are graduate programs devoted to the art of making books, guilds and organizations both national and regional around bookmaking that support the activities of small presses, artist-made books, and collectors of limited edition and one-of-a-kind books. Additionally, there are a number of artists who use books as a medium for their works. They carve books into sculptures and deconstruct books, turning the spines and pages of books into works of art. Some artists are fascinated by the printed page and concentrate on the lettering and language of books to create one-of-a-kind two- and three-dimensional works. Others are inspired to create installations and works that suggest book forms. The show also includes a boxed collection of paintings, a tradition used by artists for making "books" with removable pages, and an accordion book of prints by a group of Cuban artists. J. Susan Isaacs, PhD., Curator of Special Projects, has organized this exhibition to take into account all of these approaches.
Participating artists include Blanka Amezkua (manipulated Mexican adult comic book), Melissa Jay Craig (wall installation of book forms), Colette Fu (pop-up books), Jody Alexander (book installation), Buzz Spector (artist-made book), Brian Dettmer (altered book), Doug Beube (altered book), and Ula Einstein (the deconstructed "book"). The exhibition will present, through the work of 48 nationally-known artists, various conceptual and formal approaches related to the idea of the "book."
There will be a symposium on the theme of the exhibition with presentations by artists Buzz Spector, Brian Dettmer, Doug Beube, Melissa Jay Craig, and the Chief of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division, Library of Congress, Mark Dimunation on Friday evening, March 25th and Saturday, March 26th at the DCCA.

1. Organizing my research
Right now I'm using index cards for raw notes. (Ooh. I feel a D*I*Y Planner article coming on...) Anyway, these index cards are great for temporary notes, but I'm going to need to rewrite and search them later on. I might end up sticking everything into a Planner page because that'll let me hyperlink to PDFs.
I'll also need to keep track of my bibliography. <nop>BiBTeX would be a great way for me to keep track of my bibliography in ready-to-include-and-typeset format. As a bonus, CiteULike.org works with BiBTeX. Hooray!
I want to write short articles digging up nuggets from research papers. I'll think of them as mini-papers, which will naturally kick me into research high-gear _and_ be neat deliverables for my research supervisor who is by now probably worried about my lack of progress.
Right. Weekly blogging for my research supervisor and the world in general. Meticulously written and researched. I can do that.

PORTSMOUTH — The girlfriend of the murder suspect in the death of Elizabeth Marriott has been arrested in connection with the case.
Nineteen-year-old Kathryn McDonough, of Portsmouth, was arrested on Monday, Dec. 24, and charged with one felony count each of hindering apprehension or prosecution, and conspiracy to commit hindering apprehension or prosecution, according to a release issued by the New Hampshire Attorney General Michael A. Delaney, Dover Police Chief Anthony F. Colarusso, Jr. and New Hampshire State Police Colonel, Robert C. Quinn.
Marriott, 19, disappeared on Oct. 9, and her body has not yet been found. Authorities charged Seth Mazzaglia, 29, of Dover, of second-degree murder in connection with Marriott's death.
Prosecutors say Marriott was either strangled or suffocated in a Mill Street apartment by Mazzaglia. For weeks, authorities conducted an intensive search around the area of Peirce Island in Portsmouth hoping to find Marriott's body. They had strong leads that her remains were in that area, but they never recovered a body.
McDonough will be arraigned at the Derry District Court on Dec. 26.

Fashion once was the stepchild of categories considered for museum exhibitions, but such blockbusters as the 2011 Alexander McQueen show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are making that notion as outdated as last year's bubble hemlines.
Still, few clothing designers are artists worthy of major gallery space and able to draw more than a half-million visitors, as McQueen's exhibit did. So what elevates a designer's work to the point where it deserves the treatment the Denver Art Museum is lavishing on "Yves Saint Laurent: The Retrospective"?
"Saint Laurent worked like an artist," said Christoph Heinrich, museum director. "H e was very curious about other cultures, about art, about going back in time; everything that defines the global world." The show, which opens March 25, covers four decades of the late French couturier's life and includes 200 haute couture outfits, films and photos, presented in three galleries in the museum's Hamilton wing.

NEW YORK (AP) - DaNesha Stallworth scored 18 points and Jennifer O'Neill added nine of her 12 points in the second half to lead second-seed Kentucky to a 61-41 win over 15th-seeded Navy on Sunday in the opening round of the NCAA women's tournament.
The Wildcats (28-5) trailed by one at the half before O'Neill, who grew up in New York, took over. She hit a quick 3-pointer to start a 12-2 run. The sophomore guard had seven points, a steal and an assist during the burst.
Kentucky had been off for 14 days since losing in the SEC tournament title game and looked rusty early on. Two-time SEC player of the year A'dia Mathies didn't have a field goal for the first time in her career.
Alix Membreno and Jade Geif scored nine each to lead Navy (21-12), which was trying to become the first 15 seed to win a game in NCAA tournament history.

The Pride of Engineers, the Masterpiece of Designers
Posted by Shreve & Co. at 5:55:12 AM in Piaget (28)
Piaget has been an expert in watchmaking and jewelry since its foundation in 1874. From a company specializing in the production of watch movements, Piaget has ventured wider to the manufacture of jewelry watches and jewelry collections in the 1960s. Piaget's outstanding watches are encompassed by the integration of exceptional engineering skills for watchmaking and excellent jewelry-making craftsmanship. The groups of engineers and designers, backed with the state-of-the-art computer software designed specifically for the manufacture, primarily constitute the most valuable asset of the company. Both teams are involved in ensuring the long-term reliability of the watches. External components, like watchcases, dials, bracelets, buckles and crowns, are carefully created with the aid of computer simulations in order to meet the standards of quality. The actual production process involves both manual and digital or electronic technology comprising a series of approximately sixty operations effectively covering the decorations and finishes to the case. Piaget ensures you that every specific detail has been taken care of. Check out Piaget's outstanding collections at Shreve &. Co in Palo Alto.

"Our oldest and most cherished wisdom traditions remind us that there is, in fact, a language that speaks to the Divine Matrix, one that has no words and doesn't involve the usual outward signs of communication we make with our hands or body. It comes in a form so simple that we all already know how to "speak" it fluently. In fact, we use it every day of our lives--it is the language of human emotion.Modern science has discovered that through each emotion we experience in our bodies, we also undergo chemical changes of things such as pH and hormones that mirror our feelings. Through the "positive" experiences of love, compassion, and forgiveness and the "negative" emotions of hate, judgment, and jealousy, we each possess the power to affirm or deny our existence at each moment of every day. Additionally, the same emotion that gives us such power within our bodies extends this force into the quantum world beyond our bodies.It may be helpful to think of the Divine Matrix as a cosmic blanket that begins and ends in the realm of the unknown and spans everything between. This covering is many layers deep and all the we know exists and takes place within its fibers. From our watery creation in our mother's womb to our marriages, divorces, friendships, and careers, all that we experience may be thought of as "wrinkles" in the blanket.From a quantum perspective, everything from the atoms of matter and a blade of grass to our bodies, the planet, and beyond may be thought of as a "disturbance" in the smooth fabric of this space-time blanket. Perhaps it's no coincidence then that ancient spiritual and poetic traditions describe existence in much the same way. The Vedas, for example, speak of a unified field of "pure consciousness" that bathes and permeates all of creation. In these traditions, our experiences or thought, feeling, emotion, and belief--and all the judgment that they create--are viewed as disturbances, interruptions in a field that is otherwise smooth and motionless. In a similar fashion, the sixth-century Hsin-Hsin Ming (which translates to Faith-Mind Verses) describes the properties of an essence that is the blueprint for everything in creation. Called the Tao, it's ultimately beyond description, just as we see in the Vedic scriptures. It is all that is--the container of all experience, as well as the experience itself. The Tao is descibed as perfect, "like vast space where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess.:According to the Hsin-Hsin Ming, it's only when we disturb the tranquility of the Tao through our judgments that its harmony eludes us. When this inevitably does happen and we find ourselves emeshed in feelings of anger and separation, the text offers guidelines to remedy this condition: "To come directly into harmony with this reality, just simply say when doubt arises, 'Not two.' In this 'not two' nothing is separate, nothing is excluded."While I admit that thinking of ourselves as a disturbance in the Matrix may take some of the romance out of life, it also gives us a powerful way to conceptualize our world and ourselves. If, for example, we want to form new, healthy and life-affirming relationships; let healing romance into our lives; or bring a peaceful solution to the Middle East, we must create a new disturbance in the field, one that mirrors our desire. We must make a new "wrinkle" in the stuff that space, time, our bodies, and the world are made of. This is our relationship to the Divine Matrix. We're given the power to imagine, dream, and feel life's possibilities from within the Matrix itself so that it can reflect back to us what we've created. Both ancient traditions and modern science have described how this cosmic mirror works; in the case of the experiments that will be shared in later chapters, we've even shown how these reflections work in the language of science. Admittedly, while these studies may solve some mysteries of creation, they also open the door to even deeper questions about our existence..."

"Buckwild," a new reality show set in West Virginia, is set to debut on MTV on Jan. 3, but local leaders worry the show will not portray residents of the Mountain State in a positive light.
A trailer of the show has recently been released and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., is asking that the show be canceled.
Manchin describes the show as a travesty and said he is repulsed at the venture. In a letter to MTV President Stephen K. Friedman, Manchin accuses MTV of preying on young people and coaxing them into displaying "shameful behavior."
The new show has been described as an Appalachian version of the canceled MTV reality show "Jersey Shore."
"This show plays to ugly, inaccurate stereotypes about the people of West Virginia," Manchin states in his letter. "Let me tell you: our people have given their all for this great country."
The "Buckwild" trailer shows young people engaging in drinking, fistfights and other rowdy behavior. Elkins Mayor Duke Talbott said he doesn't support anything that glamorizes alcohol or drug abuse.
"Glamorizing it is misleading," Talbott said. "It is about the most shameful thing you can do."
Talbott said he hopes people who watch the show are sophisticated enough to look past the stereotypes.
"We have wonderful people in West Virginia," he said. "We have a lot going for us. We have an unemployment rate lower than the national level and several wonderful communities. It (the state) speaks for itself."
The trailer shows the program's stars in homes that are not finished and yards packed with old cars. The trailer also features shots of the cast engaging in physical altercations.
"You can find those things anywhere in the world," Talbott said. "Normal people want to see the positive side of things."
Randolph County Convention and Visitor's Bureau Executive Director Brenda Pritt is afraid that the show will not only hurt the tourism industry in the state, but further perpetuate negative stereotypes Mountain State residents have fought against.
"The impression that people have always had of West Virginia is that we are uneducated and hillbillies," she said. "We are trying to overcome that."
Pritt said it is wrong "to show this."
"Everywhere has areas like that," she said. "There are wonderful things here. I think it will hurt tourism in West Virginia. If you saw this, would you want to bring your children here? I don't agree with (the show) at all."
Del. Bill Hartman, D-Randolph, said he believes the negative aspects of the show could shed a bad light on the Mountain State.
"Anytime you cast anyone in a derogatory light some people are bound to believe it," he said. "It could have negative effects on the state."
Hartman said he would be in support of a "concerted effort" to bring MTV and the producers of the show to task.
"I think it is absolutely ridiculous, some of the entertainment that is being put out there," Hartman said. "It is all a money game. I would be in favor of some uniform campaign to remove the show."

Facebook Suffers Brief Outages in Violence-Hit Myanmar
Some users say Facebook has been inaccessible in Myanmar's second largest city for brief periods since a curfew began Thursday night following an outbreak of sectarian violence.
While Web connectivity is typically poor in the impoverished country, some users in the central city of Mandalay say they have not been able to reach the world's largest social network at all for periods ranging from 30 minutes to an hour during some evenings since the clashes, which have killed two people and injured at least 12 others.
Facebook has remained accessible elsewhere in the country of 60 million. A Facebook spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
The clashes appeared to begin after a local language blog post accused Muslim men of allegedly raping a Buddhist woman. The post was then shared on Facebook by Wiseitta Biwuntha, better known as the Venerable Wirathu, a radical Buddhist monk whose anti-Muslim rhetoric has been cited by Myanmar experts as inspiration for brutal attacks on Muslims in the past.
Some users said the government is limiting access to Facebook in an attempt to tamp down social tensions, noting that they can still access Facebook using proxy servers that re-route Web traffic. In a post on Facebook, Zaw Htay, director of the president's office, praised those in Mandalay who shared only accurate information on Facebook, rather than spreading rumors.
A Myanmar government spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment.
A driver in Mandalay who gave his name as Mr. Nanda said that phone service has also been hit. "The GSM network is sometimes disconnected at night, and not just for me but my friends too," he said, referring to the standard used for mobile communications.
The government has imposed a 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew in the city following clashes between Buddhists and Muslims, the latest eruption of mob violence in recent years. A police presence remains in the predominantly-Muslim areas of downtown Mandalay.

Mark-Viverito Claims Victory in City Council Speaker Race
By Josh Dawsey, Mara Gay and Joe Jackson
UPDATED | Melissa Mark-Viverito, a liberal councilwoman from East Harlem, claimed victory in her campaign to be City Council speaker late Wednesday.
She released a statement that included support and on-the-record comments from 30 members of the body. She would need 26 votes to be elected as the successor to Christine Quinn when the Council votes in about three weeks.
Addressing reporters at City Hall Thursday, Ms. Mark-Viverito said, "I am completely humbled by the support that I've received from my colleagues, that they have the confidence in me to become the next Speaker."
She added, "I'm really also very proud obviously to have made history, it's a very important day for us."
But a number of City Councilmembers said Thursday the race is still open, including Ms. Mark-Viverito's top rival for the role, Councilman Dan Garodnick, a Manhattan Democrat from the Upper East Side. The official vote on the Speaker's race is scheduled for Jan. 8.
"This is a very close race," he said. "We have many weeks to go and I feel pretty good about where we stand," Mr. Garodnick told reporters on the steps of City Hall.
Mr. Garodnick, clearly alluding to Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's last-minute push on behalf of Ms. Mark-Viverito, said the selection of the new Speaker is an "important opportunity to have its charter-mandated independence from the mayor."
The council, he said, should be "independent of the mayor, and be respectful of the mayor; and will help him deliver on his agenda and will also stand up to him when he's wrong under my leadership. That is a case I'm making to colleagues and one that I think they understand and appreciate."
"I think that the council needs to maintain some independence from the mayor," he said. "We are his partner but we're also his check and balance. And that needs to be maintained."
Others, like U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, a Democrat from Queens, also said the race was still open. Asked if he thought Mr. Garodnick still had a chance to win, Mr. Crowley replied, "I wouldn't be supporting him if I didn't think he did."
But some supporters of Ms. Mark-Viverito, like Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez, said she had sealed the deal.
"Melissa has the numbers to be the new Speaker of the City Council," Mr. Rodriguez told reporters. "She has the numbers; she will be the new Speaker."
Ms. Mark-Viverito, 44 years old, is a co-leader of the council's most liberal wing and is expected to be a close ally of Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio. She was the first councilperson to support his candidacy.
She has promised to support Mr. de Blasio's effort to raise taxes on the wealthy to fund universal prekindergarten in the city. She also has supported greater oversight of the city's police department by an inspector general.
She is a former community organizer and union researcher who joined the council in 2006.

Salish-Kooteaai Community College Box 1020 Ronan, MT 59364 PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528*8592 NEWSPAPER OF THE SAUSH, PEND cTOREILLE AND KOOTENAI TRIBES OF THE FLATHEAD INDIAN RESERVATION, WESTERN MONTANA VOLUME 11 NUMBER 18 COLDEST MONTH FEBRUARY 1, 1983 Geologist tells Council 'oil potential is tremendous' here An independent geologic consultant made a presentation to the Tribal Council January 18, the gist of which stirred up some excitement in the Pablo chambers. James Cavanaugh said western Montana looks to be a very promising region for oil and gas development, and the Flathead Reservation seems to be sitting atop the hottest geologic structures "the largest untested structures in the world", Cavanaugh claims. An hour's worth of talk punctuated with maps, graphs and overlays "boils down to [the fact] that the potential here is tremendous", Cavanaugh said, adding that it appears to rival Alaska's North Slope resources. Answering someone's skepticism that such talk has been going around for years, Cavanaugh pointed out that three million acres in northwest Montana were recently filed on by dozens of oil companies in the space of 90 days. Arco has plans to sink an exploratory well before the year is out on some of their leased acreage, he said. By the presentation's end, the Council decided that Cavanaugh should get to know the Tribal natural resources people. A comprehensive exploration plan for Reservation lands may be in the offing. IHS cuts services to non-Indian beneficiaries A minor, figurative earthquake shook the Reservation last month when the Indian Health Service (IHS) made the unexpected announcement that it wouldn't pay any more non-Indians' medical bills, effective immediately. An unclear news release from Washington, D.C., byway of the Billings Area IHS office said non-Indian members of Indian households could look for IHS to cover their medical expenses in three specific situations. The news caused a widespread belief that uncounted Tribal member relatives would be in deep financial trouble in case of an accident or serious illness. Flathead Service Unit director Rose Evans says this isn't the case at alL The misunderstanding lies in the definition of who's an Indian, she said. According to IHS regulations, anyone who can prove Tribal descendancy is Indian, regardless of formal enrollment in a tribe. The day may come, she cautioned, when the regulations will change to allow only for enrolled Tribal member eligibility. Right now, however, all Tribal members (enrolled or non-enrolled) living on the Reservation remain eligible for IHS benefits, both direct care (dental, pharmaceutical, and mental health services available at the IHS offices in St. Ignatius) and contract health care (anything not available at IHS). Eyeglasses and examinations are out for everybody, though, she added. Evans said the new regulations went into effect December 30, 1982, as an amendment to the bill authorizing the Interior Department's FY 83 budget It took 11 days for the (Continued next page)

I am fairly new to running - actually I call it still partly jogging and partly walking - as I have been doing this about three months now. I started it as part of a weight loss routine - lost 45 pounds and started feeling good about things, no more arthritic pain in the knees, so i started walking about April. Pretty soon I was able to increase my distance and speed, to the point where I was going to attempt to walk a half marathon. My pace was down to a sub15 MM and purely walking. I was unable to participate in the half marathon as I had to travel for work, but I digress. I figured that if I wanted to build in some wiggle room to complete a half marathon I should start jogging a bit and so far so good. I have completed three 5Ks so far and all have been under 35 minutes, the last being 31:40. If I am to increase my distance, as well as my time, I need to get better educated in a lot of things. One of these things is maintaing proper nutrition during my training, as well as during the races themselves. I don't know anything about energy bars or gels from a bath gel. For the 5Ks I have been going to Starbucks for a tall coffee and a coffee cake to start off my day. I hear about carbo loading the previous night for the longer distances, but nothing about what I need during the race. Any help is greatly appreciated.

In a serious effort you can sustain output for about an hour and a half before you need to refuel(eat). Most fueling depends on how well you eat throughout the day. You not only need carbs but they need to be clean carbs for sustained efforts.
Instead of the coffee cake choose something a little more simple like a bagel or oatmeal. Skip all the add-ons and you have a good start to your training day. Starbucks also carries mixed fruit cups and yogurt/fruit cups. I Try to eat 500-600cal per meal with 200-300cal snacks in between. Notice I didn't say don't drink coffee :-) but caffine has its own downfalls. Even though it reduces some of the preceived effort it also reduces your ability to hydrate properly. In the Heat that is very bad as you can loose up to 4-6lbs of just water weight on a longer run even drinking 300-500ml of water per hour.
Back to your original question if your workout/race is shorter than on hour Skip the Gels/Bars and drink good old H20(or Lite Electrolyte Fluids, G2, NUUN, ZeroPowerade). One hour Plus some type of Sports Drink(Cytomax, Gatorade or Powerade). Over Two Hours your glycogen stores are running low so start eating Gel's or Bars about 1-1/2hrs into your Run or Race Whichever works with your digestive system and remember to drink 100-200ml of water with any gel or bar you eat. If you don't your body WILL pull fluids from your blood to aid in the digestive process and could lead to overheating and dehydration.
There are Tons of articals on nutrition, Google is your friend here. The Triathlete Training Bible(Joe Friel) has an entire section devoted to the subject.
Happy Running
To me the bottom line is you need to try different things during your training runs to find out what works for you and what dont. its a process that doesnt happen over night. everything you read should be a guide for you to make your own plan on what you need. you need fuel and water so its up to you to make the choices of what foods, how much and how often, because everyone is different, most of all you need to learn during training runs.....
It's not only about finishing, its about finishing healthy!
I think the advice others have given is great! One thing I would add is make sure to fuel post workout. A ratio of 4:1 Carbs to Protein is what you should shoot for. Just a little snack to help your body repair itself. A glass of milk (lots of people rave about chocollate milk post workout) I slice of Deli meat and an apple. Remember it is when we rest that our bodies get stronger.
I think Dennis hit it right on the head. You need to find out what works best for you. Follow simple guidelines but then try different combinations to find what works best for you. It took me a couple training cycles to really get a feel for what helped and what hurt. Best advice I got was to pay close attention to how your feeling at around the 1 hr point in your runs. That's when I usually start using energy bars. Typically I eat 1/2 an energy bar at around the 1 hr mark and then again in 45 min to 1 hr. I also make sure and drink electrolytes during all long runs over an hour, usually every couple of miles I'll drink a couple ounces to keep myself hydrated. It took my a while to find the right combo but once you figure it out it really makes a big difference in maintaining you stamina. Good luck!

Thanks for all of the great inputs and ideas. I have tried a couple of Clif Bars and my stomach doesn't seem to agree with them, so I will cross them off my list. Will definitely go for the natural way - chocolate milk and fruits and maybe some deli meat for recovery, but will see what I can eat during a long workout for me.

Thrash 1 had a great synopsis. Coffee depends on the runner. It is my addiction of choice however I only count half the ounces as most research, but not the lates,t says it is a diuretic. For some people it is a laxitive as well and that is something you may need to factor in. I haven't solved the problem with sticky GU packets, so right now I am leaning toward chomps which are sortof firmer gummy bears or fruit chews with simple carbs and some electrolytes. Good luck you are making great progress. Runners world has tons of articles on various aspects of nutrition.

For Longer Runs Clif/Energy bars would be too heavy and you would need to go with something more digestible like Gummies or Gels. There's just not enough time(45-50min) for the digestive process to work and get your body what it needs to continue to perform. You probably felt full, cramps or nausea. Those are caused from not enough water during your refueling process, Fruits and Meats would be good post run to aid recovery but they contain too much fiber(Oranges, Apples) to digest quickly enough to help during your run. Banana's are the exception but they tend to give me stomach upset during hard efforts. They may work for you though.
For Cycling Clif/Engery Bars work OK, but you aren't bouncing up and down like you do running. I use a combination of both Bars/Gels for longer Rides +3hrs. For Extended Runs +13mi I prefer Gel's only, some prefer Chomps/Gummies with H20 chaser(I use it to douse on hot days LOL). I've tried both but and find Gels work better for me.
Gatorade/Powerade should also Be considered in the Calorie Replenishment since it typically has (50cal/8fl oz) and aid in electrolite replacement.
Just remember 200-300cal per hour and Drink 100ml-250ml per hour H2O to help digestion, increase water 300ml-500ml or more on hot days. And if your run is +1-1/2 hours start refueling(GU/Chomp/Gatorade/Powerade) 45 min into your run and every 30-45 after that. It takes a little experimentation to find the combinations that best work for you. But that's why we train

Columbia University on Friday said the playwrights will share the award and $100,000, one of the largest prizes given for dramatic writing.
The Edward M. Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired by American History honors a new play or musical that explores the United States' past and deals with great issues of the day.
The play by Schenkkan, who won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for "The Kentucky Cycle," begins in November 1963 with Lyndon B. Johnson's sudden ascension to the presidency following the assassination of Kennedy's older brother John F. Kennedy and ends 12 months later with Johnson's historic landslide victory over Barry Goldwater. "All the Way" premiered at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2012.
O'Brien's play is a story of war and war reporting that was inspired by the experiences of Paul Watson, who won a Pulitzer for a 1993 photo of a dead U.S. Army Ranger dragged through the streets of Somalia's capital. It premiered at Portland Center Stage last year.
The other finalists were "Hurt Village," by Katori Hall; "Party People," by the performance group Universes; and "Rapture, Blister, Burn," by Gina Gionfriddo.
The prize was established by Kennedy's sister Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith in consultation with playwright Tony Kushner.
Plays and musicals that received their first professional productions in 2012 were eligible for the prize. The winners were selected by a panel of nine judges that included playwrights Lynn Nottage, Itamar Moses, Diana Son and Brian Yorkey and Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) Believe it or not winter is only two months away and it's time to start preparing now before winter weather strikes.
We all travel in one way or another, whether it be across town or across the mountains. That is why it is so important that you make sure you winterize your car or truck before it's too late.
There is the obvious maintenance; such as: checking the tread on your tires, checking windshield wipers, and making sure fluids are properly maintained.
But there is so much more that needs to be done.
A well equipped vehicle for winter has tire chains, tow rope, a shovel, tool kit, windshield scraper and brush, battery cables, extra batteries, flashlight and an all-around first-aid kit. It never hurts to have a blanket and some water-proof matches in the back either.
If for some reason you become stranded, make sure you stay with your vehicle and don't panic. Run the car every hour for about ten minutes to keep warm but keep windows cracked to avoid carbon monoxide buildup. Also check the exhaust pipe to make sure it is not being blocked for any reason. Put brightly colored and reflective fabrics on the exterior of your vehicle to enhance visibility to others.
Most importantly, stay aware by checking local forecasts on our webpage or social media sites. The best way to stay safe is avoiding bad weather all together.

"The lower number indicates they've covered a lot of the forest area already," said spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman, noting that better weather than Friday's or Thursday's allowed quicker ground searching and the use of helicopters.
While many people in the area now doubt whether Dorner is still in the area, Bachman reiterated that the search would continue until Dorner was found or convincing evidence showed he was somewhere else.
"There aren't any big shifts to another area that I'm aware of," she said.
The officers are searching the forest area and doing additional door-to-door checks, aided by armored personnel carriers and snow vehicles, Bachman said.
Even with those vehicles, thigh-deep snow in places and heavy equipment carried by searchers made it even more difficult to search past nightfall, Bachman said. The search was expected to continue until roughly sunset - 5:25 p.m. - and continue the next day if more ground remained to be covered.

Throughout the province, the extended winter meant spring got off to a slow start. However, a recent spell of warm weather has compensated some what for a delayed breeding season. Along the coast, the mountain snow packs are rapidly melting, feeding lots of water into local streams and ponds. While snowpacks on the north and central coast were a bit low this past winter (~80 percent of average), they were near the long-term average on the south coast and island. This promises a steady supply of water through the spring and summer, and breeding conditions look to be good for the year. Local farmers have been busy preparing their fields and planting along the coast, and
the first crops are starting to grow fast.
Most of the wintering ducks such as northern pintail, northern shoveler and American wigeon have departed, with only a few stragglers remaining. They have been replaced by breeders such as cinnamon and blue-winged teal. Year-round residents such as mallard and wood duck are incubating, and the first Canada goose goslings have hatched. Precipitation was variable in the northern and southern Interior, and habitat conditions reflect this. Overall, these regions are still relatively dry, and many isolated basins (lacking stream connections) did not fill.
All expected breeders are present and accounted for, and Canada goose broods have been out for a couple of weeks in the south. Late-winter precipitation was good in the Peace region, and early conditions have recovered from a relatively dry 2012.
Spring runoff and observations of breeding effort suggest that brood production will be good.
