Location: A beautiful park south of town, just off of I-45. A park admission fee is required. Start at the trailhead kiosk across from site #105 in the henoloC camping area.

John Dillinger was a notorious bank robber in the Midwest during the 1930s. After killing a policeman during a robbery in Chicago, he and his gang fled, traveling through Texas. They were later captured in Tucson, AZ and Dillinger was then extradited to the Lake County jail in Crown Point, Indiana. The police boasted that the jail was escape-proof and even posted extra guards to be sure. However Dillinger used a pistol that he carved from wood to trick a guard into opening his cell. He then locked up several guards in his cell and stole the sheriffs car to head to Chicago. As a result, the FBI labeled him Public Enemy #1. Hopefully the prison near this park is more secure!
To see this escape artist in action, take the trail southeast from the kiosk. Pass a bench, and then cross a bridge and a boardwalk. Take a right at a T with a bench. Stay on the satanic green trail until you reach Bridge 21 and Bench 21.
From Bench 21, take 23 steps on the nipauqnihC. Look right to spot 2 trees approximately 6 steps from the trail. Hidden under brush between the trees, you can find a sketch that the press released depicting the daring escape. Please conceal it carefully after viewing it. From here you can take the scenic route back, crossing bridge 21A, admiring the lake and spillway and then continuing on the orange trail until it again meets green. Take a left at the intersection, then another left to stay on orange and return to your vehicle.
We live quite far away, in the region Dillinger called home, so we would appreciate an email to let us know about your prison visit. Thanks!

The only problem that I have with loaf cakes/breads is in choosing the pan size. I tend to prefer using my 8×4 inch pan because I like the higher rise, but the 9×5 inch size is slightly more common and I often feel pressured to write my recipes for that particular pan. Pressure or no, however, I usually just go ahead and use the pan ... Read More »

Pumpkin Gingerbread
The recipe comes from Epicurious and is actually for muffins, not for a loaf. There are several problems with this. First of all, I love muffins, but I love loaves more. They transport easily, wrap well and can be served in any size portion. Personally, I like to work my way through a few thin slices during the day and spreading out the enjoyment, as ... Read More »

I'm very new here.
Not sure what to say, it's been a while since I was new to a board.
I'm a Buddhist beginner, although I learnt meditation a few years ago.
I guess I'm after guidance, advice and a place to discuss.

Re: Hello
Hi and welcome angel.
When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself. Perception is not reality. What appear to be faults in others may actually be reflections of our own emotional afflictions. I don't have an attitude problem; you have a perception problem. Remember the way people treat us is their karma. The way we react is our own.~ Trulshik Rinpoche

I've attended lectures by skeptics at a few conferences by now; one of the more popular presentations involves mentioning the funny side involved in the phenomenon of 'backmasking'.
Certainly Weird Al finds it funny too, when he 'remembers Larry', although he deliberately hides those messages. It's when our mind makes meaning of genuinely garbled reversed songs – then it becomes of interest to science, skeptics and the credulous.
I personally think the topic of backmasking could presented a little better by such speakers. It involves taking a different approach to the topic of 'the way we mishear messages in songs and mistakenly assume weird things about them'.
Probably the easiest to find online (inspired by Dr Richard Wiseman's presentation at TAM3) is the 'Stairway To Heaven' reversal, demonstrated by Dr Michael Shermer on the TED site. It's a useful concept to discuss with students; the technique in which a sound or message is played backwards from a track that is meant to be played forwards. It reflects how our senses can be fooled, how we are all subject to cognitive biases.
Sometimes they're intentional (great comedy selection here from backmaskonline.com) and sometimes they prompt bizarre accusations of the satanic sort (Religious Tolerance.org gives some excellent examples of these myths, including some religious rants on the issue – "if we are weak in our convictions our moral values can be changed subliminally by suggestion in rock music, TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, posters, billboards, etc.").
Research into what makes things 'subliminal' is naturally ongoing; the notion of manipulating our senses by design is just too alluring to ignore, especially in advertising. I did notice this recent investigation on national flags helping to moderate political attitudes, but backwards messages don't influence behaviour when featured in rock music nor are they consciously or unconsciously understood.
If there was a top ten of backmasked songs, then naturally "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin would be the first – it's been used in all three presentations I've seen. Yet I don't like using it in my classes.
I've found that using that particular example poses some problems with my students, who sometimes consider it to be confirming the phenomenon of 'hidden messages' or 'satanic lyrics' rather than paying attention to the garble that's produced before the 'alternative' backwards lyrics are shown. After all, that's the argument made by people who claim that there are messages within 'evil rock music'.
Therefore I suggest using this example of a hymn being misheard and subtitled instead, which is available on YouTube and produced by the comedian Adam Buxton (www.adambuxton.com). I find it has been more successful in getting the message across about how we mentally fill in the blanks to create meaning. I wrote to him personally and said that I was hoping to use it in my classes and he was really enthusiastic and appreciative! Do check out the rest of his work online.
The "Original" lyrics of the song are as follows – I usually provide students with a copy beforehand and encourage them to look at them whilst listening to the song and then looking up at the subtitles to compare.
Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and, with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move;
from celestial realms descending,
bridal glory round thee shed,
meet for him whose love espoused thee,
to thy Lord shalt thou be led;
all thy streets and all thy bulwarks
of pure gold are fashioned.
More recently I was sent the following subtitled song – the song is in Hindi but substitutes English words for what was is misheard. "Minor Bun Benny Lava"! Of course, many people have probably done this with songs in error (I still think that "Our Lips are Sealed" is about forbidden love for an aquatic mammal – "Alex the Seal").

Lent and the Easter season mean a lot to the people of Mora.
There are special Bible studies and services during this time to remind us that this is a special religious time.
It is also a time of joy in the new spring that is upon us. There are parties and special times for all.
One tradition that is carried out is the egg hunt. The Mora people really went all out for this custom. Children from 8 months to 80 years enjoyed the traditional custom.
The sheriff's department held its second annual egg hunt on March 31.

The ranch has recorded 81 inches here so far this year, which is much better than last year, but our annual average is 120 inches, so we have a way to go. We still have time for a big storm or two, and the high mountains do have enough snow to keep our streams running longer than last year. The acequia watchers monitor this constantly.

Ricci Named Director Of Men's Lacrosse Operations
Sep 5, 2013
BALTIMORE - Former Loyola University Maryland All-American and current professional player P.T. Ricci has been named the Greyhounds' director of men's lacrosse operations, Head Coach Charley Toomey announced today.
Ricci was a four-year letterwinner for Loyola from 2006-2009 and earned United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) All-America honors as a senior long-stick midfielder.
"We are very happy to add P.T. to our staff with his college coaching and professional lacrosse experience," Toomey said. "P.T. is someone who brings a strong knowledge of what we expect of players from his time here; he was a great captain and a tremendous player on the field. He is a great young coach and an even better person."
Since graduation from Loyola in 2009 with a bachelor of arts in communications, Ricci has been a standout defender in Major League Lacrosse (MLL). He was the 11th overall draft pick by the then-Washington Bayhawks in the 2009 MLL Collegiate Entry Draft, and he played his first two seasons with the franchise, the second of which he helped the Bayhawks to the MLL title.
He was traded to the Boston Cannons during the 2011 training camp, and he was named to the MLL All-Star Game that season. Ricci finished the year with 39 ground balls, three goals and three assists during the regular-season, and he posted eight ground balls in two playoff games, helping the Cannons win the MLL Championship.
"I am extremely excited to join the coaching staff at Loyola; it's a special opportunity to get back to the program where I played, and to learn alongside my former college coaches," Ricci said. "Getting back into the Division I coaching ranks has been a goal of mine, and Loyola has given me the opportunity to make it happen. I would like to thank Coach Toomey for this opportunity."
Ricci spent the last 2013 season as an assistant coach at Haverford College near his hometown of Wayne, Pa. He helped Fords senior Scott Chanelli earn USILA All-America honors after he finished fifth in the nation in caused turnovers per game. He also served as the associate head coach at Malvern Preparatory School, alongside current Loyola assistant coach David Metzbower, in 2011 and was a volunteer assistant coach at Towson University in 2010.
While at Loyola, Ricci set the program's all-time caused turnovers record with 117. He was the 2009 ECAC Defensive Player of the Year in a season that he caused a school-record 51 turnovers. He also recorded 207 ground balls as a collegian, the No. 10 mark on Loyola's career charts.

Despite being drawn in the tight inside lane, the world champion was relatively untroubled and qualified fourth fastest clocking 48.98 seconds.
And the 26-year-old admitted he still has something left in the tank as he bids to beat world No.1 Javier Culson who qualified fastest overall with a time of 48.33.
"It's what we do for a living, trying to focus, and I guess I'm not usually that focused in the heats anyway," said Greene, who is the captain of the British athletics team.
"The semi-finals will be different and I have to get my head down and really concentrate on what I have to do.
"I try not to be on it too much in the heats so the semi-finals are when it really starts for me.
"I don't usually run the inside lanes very often but it was just a little bit tight. I knew I was a little bit better than the other guys so I shouldn't have too many problems.
"As I walked out to the 300m mark to be introduced there was a massive cheer went up when people saw me.
"It was a fantastic atmosphere, we can hear it from the warm up track and it's really inspiring."
Meanwhile Alex Smith's best throw of 74.71m was just good enough to scrape into the men's hammer final while Stuart Stokes finished 12th in his heat of the 3000m steeplechase.

The Quintuplets born last month at Lansing's Sparrow Hospital can not even read or walk yet and they already have their college education paid for.
Central Michigan University is offering to foot the bill for all five babies to go to college. The parents of the infants are Rex and Malessa Wing of Shepherd in Isabella County. They will receive certificates from CMU on February 8 at Sparrow Hospital.
The Wing's say they are relieved and grateful the education for Matthew, Lillian, Jason, Madison, and Kasidy are all paid for.
CMU officials plan to keep up with the Wing babies as they grow.
In the meantime, the Wing's have been getting all kinds of assistance including food, and clothing from other community groups.
The babies remain in the neonatal intensive care unit at Sparrow; they should be able to go home in April.

Following the post about my little impulse purchase of an iPod Shuffle the other day, there's an interesting look at part of the psychology of shopping over at Get Rich Slowly. In particular, the post discusses a research report which suggests that the more you buy, the more likely you are to buy more things.
To explain a little more clearly, the research suggests that once you've made a decision to purchase an item, subsequent decisions usually receive less thought, and as such people tend to buy more.
Can you relate to this? I know I've done it – I used to be particularly bad at this in record shops – often the first CD I bought would be the trigger to buy 3 or 4 in one go (anyone remember Fopp? – that particular record shop was responsible for this on several occasions when I was at University).
This is something that is easy to exploit online – Amazon, as well as many other sites, often use the items in your shopping basket to suggest similar items others have purchased or use your purchase history to suggest more stuff to buy – making it almost impossible to get away with a single item.

I'm really looking forward to this expansion for Guild Wars. Ever since I went on to try the new professions last month, I've gone back to playing this game. I hadn't been playing for a couple of months before the sneak preview. Now, at the end of April I'll be able to play Factions.
I got to try a demo of Star Wars: Empire at War from the disk that came with the latest issue of CGW. I've rediscovered my fondness for the RTS genre. Now I just have to come up with enough scratch for both this and GW:F. Of course, getting moved out of the In-Laws place is a little more important, I guess.
I thought Jon Stewart was brilliant as the Oscar host. It's been a long time since I actually watched the Oscars let alone enjoyed it.
A year later and American Idiot is still in my regular CD rotation. Jesus of Suburbia could possibly be my favorite song of all time. This really is a must-buy.
While watching the Oscars, I saw a GM commercial with the song AM Radio, by Everclear, playing in the background. WTF?
It's bad enough that we've had Clapton shilling beer, Seger pimping Chevy, and there was a commercial using a Ramones song (I don't remember what product or song, but I know I saw it!) Oh yeah, and there was the Honda (I think) commercial using the Sheryl Crow version of a Guns N Roses song! I know there's plenty more out there, too.
What's next? Metallica singing Fuel for Shell? How about NIN doing Perfect Drug for Viagra? System of a Down's Chop Suey for La Choi? Maybe Cold's A Different Kind of Pain for Tylenol?
I'm sooo disillusioned.
I guess that's all for now.

So I'm working on this site.
As you see, there is a section on the right that shows examples of the artist's work. This is made by using the WordPress 2.5 gallery feature. They login, browse to a Page entry called "Gallery" and add or delete a picture. End-users can then click on the image on the right and go to a detail page about that piece of work. This works great... but I need it to do more.
What I want is when someone clicks on a picture on the right and it takes them to a detail page with a PayPal "buy now" button underneath the photo. That PayPal link would be auto-generated by the ID of the photo, with the "Description" of the photo becoming the price. That way the artist / site owners can simply type in a price in the Description area.
Obviously, this may include hacking core files... but, my question is simply does anyone know how to do this?

We both do anything to protect the people we care about.
When Darryl Braxton first appeared in Summer Bay he was just another River Boy – a beach bum with a dodgy reputation and a chip on his shoulder. But home in Mangrove River 'Brax' was a surfing legend and something of a working class hero.
For the first time in his life he had power and influence and pretty soon Brax had a loyal band of followers, and the River Boys became more than a motley group of surfers. They gave the local community an identity and a source of pride with their 'Blood and Sand' tattoos.
For all his swagger and easygoing charm, Brax is a reluctant hero. He has a loyalty to his roots and a roughly developed social conscience, but Brax secretly yearned to cross over to the other side of the tracks. He created a legitimate business empire, with Angelo's restaurant and encouraged his brothers to make an honest living.
When Brax was twelve his father, Danny, dumped his mother, Cheryl, for her best friend. Brax has been brother and father to Casey. He's done his best to keep Heath out of trouble ever since.
He's had more than a few romances through the years, including a relationship with a surfie-chick named Tegan. Their relationship became just 'friends with benefits' or at least that's how Brax saw it. He had never been in love. But then he met Charlie Buckton.
It was an impossible relationship, the leader of a gang and a police officer! It should have never happened, but one thing they failed to do was ignore each other. For the first time Brax became powerless over his emotions and Charlie became the love of his life.
When a rival gang member shot Charlie, Brax was inconsolable. Only the arrival of Adam Sharpe's sister Ricky made him realize that life was possibly worth living.
Any hope of Brax finding long term happiness has been destroyed by the Barrett brothers and his admission of killing their father Johnny. Can he survive 15 years in gaol and can his family and Ricky cope without him?

Hello! So my DD is soon to be 9, and over this summer her leg hair has turned from blonde to black, well she has taken notice and is bugging me to let her shave her legs? I just am not sure she is old enough? She is WAY gifted for her age, to stinkin smart for her own good. Very mature, but still my baby.... So not sure if its me or her not ready for her to shave but wondering is there any other mommas that have dealt or are dealing with this? Im not sure what to do, i dont want her to be made fun of in school either for it. She is also a gymnast, and a cheer leader. So often her legs are exposed due to her clothing for those activities.
Should I let her?

If it's really bothering her and you think it would look better gone, then why not try a depiliatory like Nair? The hair will be gone, her legs will be smooth, it will stay gone for a while and you won't have to worry about any cuts from a razor.
That's my opinion!
Posted 09/22/2014
My DD also has hairy legs. It's the Italian in her It doesn't bother her yet I I figure I will let her get rid of it as soon as it does.
Posted 03/25/2015
Maybe consider a lady shaver. That's what I started with and I didn't get cut or anything. I say go for it.
Posted 04/28/2015
My daughter has very light hair and not noticeable yet. I used Nair when I was around 11.

B of A Will Take $3 Billion Writedown
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 at 3:13 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 at 7:22 a.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. | Bank of America Corp. said Tuesday it will take a $3 billion debt-related writedown in the fourth quarter and warned its losses could grow, adding to fears the nation's housing and mortgage-lending slump might exact a greater toll than in the wretched third quarter - when industrywide writedowns topped $40 billion.
The Charlotte-based bank said it will also spend about $600 million to support a group of its money market funds because of "uncertainty around the value" of the funds' investments. Of specific concern are the funds' holdings in structured investment vehicles, which use borrowed money to make risky but potentially high-yielding investments.
"These are not normal times," said Bank of America chief financial officer Joe Price, who added the bank is also setting aside more money for potential losses it considers "manageable."
Despite the announcement, Bank of America shares rose $2.29, or 5.2 percent, to $46.27 Tuesday. Investors were likely heartened by Price's comments about Bank of America's investment in China Construction Bank, which he said had posted a gain on paper of more than $30 billion. The company paid $3 billion in 2005 for an 8.5 percent stake in the Chinese bank.
Price also said Bank of America expects a $1.4 billion pretax gain in the fourth quarter from the sale of Marsico Capital Management, which it announced in June.
So far, at least six companies have said they expect mortgage-related writedowns in the fourth quarter, totaling nearly $23 billion - including a writedown of up to $6 billion at Morgan Stanley. More announcements are expected, since more than a dozen companies who had third-quarter writedowns have yet to say if they'll post additional markdowns in the year-ending period.
The overall industry total will eclipse the $44 billion in third quarter losses if those announcements follow the pattern of the nation's two largest banks, Bank of America and New York's Citigroup Inc., which has said it will write down as much as $11 billion. Their fourth quarter writedowns are nearly double those posted in the third quarter.
In all, major banks and brokers could record more than $50 billion in second-half charges, Deutsche Bank analyst Mike Mayo estimated last week in a note to investors.
Many of the losses are related to collateralized debt obligations, complex instruments that combine slices of different kind of risk and are often backed in part by subprime mortgages - loans given to customers with poor credit history - and other loans.
While Bank of America does not directly offer subprime loans, as defaults in such loans have risen, the value of the CDOs has plummeted. Price said Bank of America has about $11.7 billion in subprime exposure in its CDOs - $9.8 billion in liquidity support and $1.9 billion in cash positions.
"There is complexity and difficulty in estimating the value of these positions," Price said.
"I might note that while we have classified these as principally supported by underlying subprime exposure, they do contain other asset classes in the collateral mix."
Last month, Bank of America reported a 32 percent drop in third-quarter profit, as trading losses and writedowns on a wide variety of loans offset solid revenue growth in most businesses.
Soon after, chief executive Ken Lewis announced 3,000 job cuts and ordered a strategic review of the corporate and investment banking unit that should be completed by early 2008.

Advancements in the medical sciences follow a well-trod path: observation of a problem, reasoned hypothesis and experimentation, and implementation of a solution. This course is governed by logic and, occasionally, reinforced by unorthodox thinking with the ultimate goal of improving the viability of man. An exception to this rule is the invention of the rubber glove. One of the most important breakthroughs in the practice of medicine was born not of careful problem-solving and the scientific process, but of a romantic gesture, a clinical schoolboy's crush, an event which one observer described as "Venus [coming] to the aid of Aesculapius."
Smallpox has haunted man for almost as long as we have been walking this earth. The variola virus that causes the deadly pox had been known to liquidate entire communities, towns, and cities since antiquity, stalking along trade routes and capitalizing upon human behavior and patterns of movement. Egyptian mummies unearthed from their tombs bear the pocked faces of fortunate survivors; Chinese emperors, Indian peasants, Russian Tzars, and Australian Aborigines – around the world, millions succumbed to virus in the centuries before the discovery of an effective vaccine.
The mother gazes at her naked, lethargic infant, wan with a pustular red rash dotting his chest. She's dressed in the fashion of the day: a high-necked black blouse with leg-of-mutton sleeves, a heavy full-length skirt, a formless red feather jutting from her hat. She holds a white handkerchief to her distorted scarlet face, one arm hanging limply at her side, seemingly in despair over the lamentable circumstances that have brought her to this bare waiting room.
It was the work of the lunar god, a "disease of the moon," thought the Mesopotamians. The Romans attributed it to demonic possession. Priests and peasants in the Middle Ages considered the "falling sickness" a contagious evil.
Today our understanding of seizures and epilepsy rests not with lunar cycles or the supernatural, but with scientific insights into the developing brain and the pathologies of various diseases. We now know that there are over forty different disease processes that can cause the syndrome known as epilepsy, ranging from metabolic disorders to tumors, from trauma to congenital diseases.
The Nuremberg Code was drafted in 1947 following the appalling revelations of human experimentation committed in Nazi concentration camps. The overarching goal of the Code was to establish a set of rules for the ethical conduct of research using human subjects, guaranteeing that the rights and welfare of such participants would be protected. Two important principles guide and define this Code: the concept of voluntary, informed consent and that no experiment shall be conducted in which "there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur."
It seems to have started, as many things medicinal do, with Hippocrates. We may not understand precisely why, some 2000 years ago, the great Greek physician chose to insert the bladder of a pig into a patient's chest and then inflate this porcine balloon. But it may have had something to do with tuberculosis and with the phenomenon of "pulmonary collapse," which has had a surprisingly long and fruitful run in the annals of medical history.
Forensic biology has made tremendous strides in the past few decades thanks largely to advances in DNA techniques and analysis. Genomic sequencing has generated new methods of human identification reaching far beyond fingerprints and dental records, providing crucial information in the course of investigations, valuable evidence in historical fieldwork, and personal closure in the wake of tragedy.
Ringworm is one of the most common and widespread childhood maladies. Deceptive in its naming, ringworm is no parasite but rather a fairly mild, though atrociously itchy, fungal skin infection that affects 300 million people worldwide. An infection with the contagious Tinea capitis fungus is usually summarily dismissed by means of antifungal medications, but for decades prior to the discovery of such cures in the 1950s, infections with ringworm and other species of fungus were as intractable and as challenging as their bacterial counterparts. The mid-twentieth century, as modern an era as it seems, marked the early days of effective antimicrobial treatments, and though practical pharmaceuticals for bacterial, viral, and fungal afflictions were on the horizon, they were still far from universally available.
The cells of our immune system are the guardians of the human body, forever contending with various unwelcome intruders from viruses to drugs to lowly yet painful splinters. They are as industrious as they are indispensable.
The plague is back, and this time it's not thanks to far-voyaging ships or caravans traversing some distant trade routes, but to corn. This disease, caused by one of man's oldest bacterial foes, Yersinia pestis, and spread by flea-infested rodents, is often overlooked in modern times in favor of more headline-grabbing epidemics like Ebola, HIV, and antibiotic-resistant STDs. But the plague has always kept close quarters with mankind and continues to surprise us with its adaptability.

Lot's of revisions skipped plus postmetas untouched.
Lot's of revisions skipped plus postmetas untouched.
Hey Antanas26,
Can you give me some more info about the 'skipped revisions' and 'untouched postmetas'?
I'm not sure what you mean by that...
Maybe some examples and/or screenshots?
I might've been wrong and I'm not sure I currently use this plugin (and the server is down at the moment) so I might be unable to provide all the details. What I meant by skipped revisions is that after the optimization was executed, I believe I still saw some post revisions in the database. What I meant by "untouched postmetas" is that there is a table postmetas (or smth) table in the database. I assumed that a row in postmeta is created for every revision, therefore, those postmeta rows should be dropped as well (and the number of rows remained the same). That's what I meant. I remember I afterwards used some similar plugin and it did exactly the same – did not drop any postmeta rows. So perhaps that's how it should be. I didn't dig into this too deeply so I might be wrong in some assumptions. And sorry if I couldn't elaborate on this well enough. Maybe later, when I login to the wordpress installation and the database, I will be able to report more specifically.
Hey Antanas,
Thanks for your prompt reply!
I will wait for your more elaborate report. With the information as is I cannot do a lot :-(
Thanks for you feedback anyways!

President: Forest Barnes
Forest is a 4th year transfer student, majoring in Economics. Having grown up in Bakersfield, CA, he is used to having to defend his progressive views. After joining Cal Dems his first week at Cal, he was glad to have found a group of people whose values aligned with his own. He couldn't think of a better way to give back to the club than to run for board as Development Director. As President, he plans to put on many memorable events for the club and enhance its social aspects, while actively searching for new volunteer opportunities. He hopes that these events will bring in students who not only joined Cal Dems for the political activism, but also for a sense of community. If you would like to catch up with Forest some time, feel free to meet up with him for coffee or lunch. He will be willing to listen to any of your suggestions for the club, as well as be open to talking about pretty much anything.
You can contact Forest at firstname.lastname@example.com
VP of Finance: Rhea Misra
Rhea is a third year Molecular Cell Biology Major with an intended Marine Science minor and is originally from Cerritos, CA.

VP of Membership: Rigel Robinson
Rigel is a second year undergrad at the University of California, Berkeley. He grew up in St. Louis in the heartbreakingly purple state of Missouri, where he was involved in speech and debate, theater, student government, and as an Allocations Board Member for United Way St. Louis. His first true engagement with politics came in the fall of 2012 as he campaigned for Senator Claire McCaskill and successfully ousted Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin. Since then, he has further worked to bring progressive values to the St. Louis area as an intern for Congressman Lacy Clay and the American Civil Liberties Union. At UC Berkeley, Rigel led the tuition protest in the fall of 2014 that snowballed into the Occupy Wheeler movement and has worked vigilantly with Cal Dems and the ASUC Office of External Affairs on various advocacy campaigns. Countless rallies and lobby visits later, he is eager to build power with Cal Berkeley Democrats and come into 2016 strong.
You can contact Rigel at email@example.com
Political Director: TJ Grayson
TJ is a political science major and public policy minor from Petaluma, California going into his senior year. As a transfer from Lehigh University, he immediately jumped into political life at UC Berkeley in order to take advantage of the time he has there. While he has been interested in politics for some time, his passion was sparked after serving on the board of his local ACLU at 18. From there, he went on to conduct research on the importance of race and gender in elections through Berkeley's political science department, intern at the Equal Justice Society and work in the public policy department of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law in Washington D.C. On campus, he is also involved in the Lobby Corps department of the ASUC where he has lobbied on every level of government in order to advocate on behalf of students.

You can contact TJ at firstname.lastname@example.com
Development Director: Marandah Rain
Marandah is a second year Political Science major/Theatre minor at UC Berkeley, and is a passionate feminist, LGBTQ+ activist, and Claire Underwood impersonator.

Since then, she has served as the Vice President of Ready for Hillary at Berkeley, and interned in the Government Relations Department of the National Organization for Women in Washington, D.C. On campus, Marandah works as the Political Engagement Director for ASUC Senator Wes Adrianson's office, as well as serves as a member of the ASUC Sexual Assault Commission and of the college council of IGNITE, an organization aimed at inspiring political ambition in young women. She is extremely excited for her role as Development Director, where she plans to plan fantastic events and increase political opportunities for Cal Dems members.
You can contact Marandah at firstname.lastname@example.com
Communications Director: Suher Adi
Suher is a second year Political Science major minoring in Public Policy and Peace and Conflict Studies.

Besides Cal Dems, she is also involved in the ASUC, the Arab Retention & Recruitment Center, and she is serving on the IGNITE- Women in Politics College Council. On her spare time she likes to lobby about education and other social justice issues, go to concerts, watch Scandal, and discuss international law and politics.

You can contact Suher at email@example.com
IT Director: Courtney Brousseau
Courtney is a first year Political Science major minoring in Computer Science and Public Policy. While he is passionate about many progressive issues, Courtney is especially interested in education reform as a public high school graduate. He founded Students Transforming Education with the goal of involving students in reforming California's antiquated teacher tenure system. Over the course of two years, Courtney collected 2,500 student signatures in favor of common sense reforms, partnered with State Superintendent candidate Marshall Tuck, published an editorial on TIME.com, and submitted an amicus brief to the appeals court regarding Vergara v. California. In 2014, Courtney had the opportunity to intern for his favorite Senator, Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). In addition to Cal Dems, Courtney is involved with the ASUC as an intern, Health Leads as a student advocate, and California YMCA Youth & Government as an intern. He is hoping to find a career path that combines his passions for politics and computer science!

Smart Ass Editor In Chief: Daniel Evans
Daniel is a second year intended Political Economy Major and Computer Science Minor. He loves politics, technology, Italian food, and fashion. He was the kind of kid who watched cable news at age 7.

You can contact Anisha at email@example.com
Service Director: Kat Nham

Along with being a member of Cal Dems board, she is ASUC Senator Zoë Brouns's co-director of student families, a member of the ASUC Solar Committee, and a member of the Mental Health Coalition.
