His science project looked at time dilation and Albert Einstein's Theory of Relativity as they relate to quasars - pretty heady stuff from the winner of the Maui science fair this year.
Steven Okada, a senior at Maui High School, did his project on "Spectral Analysis of Quasar Time Dilation," capturing the top prize at Thursday's 54th annual Maui Schools' Science and Engineering Fair and a trip to the Intel International Science Fair in Phoenix from May 12 to 17.
Pausing to dummy down his project for regular folks, Okada explained that his project looked "for the effects of time dilation in galaxies that are very far away . . . the stretching out of time for objects moving relative to us."

He was reading a study by astronomer Mike Hawkins (not theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, as appeared in a caption in Friday's edition) from the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, Scotland, that there was no time dilation for light pulses from quasars even though they are expected to show the phenomenon because they are moving away from the Earth so quickly.
Time for a lesson on time dilation and quasars.
Time dilation is a component of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. According to the PBS Nova website on the program "Einstein's Big Idea":
"His idea was that, theoretically, the closer we come to traveling at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), the more time would appear to slow down for us from the perspective of someone who, in relation to us, was not moving. He called the slowing of time due to motion 'time dilation.' "
To illustrate the concept, the website suggested imagining a person standing on Earth holding a clock and another person with a clock in a rocket zooming past at nearly 186,000 miles per second. If the person on Earth were able to view the clock in the rocket ship, he would notice that it would appear to be moving a lot more slowly than the one on Earth. The person in the rocket would think the clock in the rocket is moving just fine while the clock on the ground would seem to be moving very fast.
Quasars are "the most luminous, powerful and energetic objects known of at this time," according to the Universe Today website. "They seem to inhabit the centers of active young galaxies and can emit up to a thousand times the energy output of our entire galaxy."
Quasars are believed to be powered by the buildup of material into "centralized super-massive black holes," the website said. Light cannot escape these black holes; the escaping energy and light visible is generated by gravitational stresses and intense friction outside of the black holes.
Working with James "J.D." Armstrong, Maui technology education and outreach specialist for the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy, Okada studied quasars, using the 2-meter Faulkes Telescope atop Haleakala.
He looked at light coming from quasars and variations in the brightness.
At the end of his research for the project, Okada said: "There is no definite answer (though) we've kinda found a reason."
He said that the power spectrum looks different between wavelengths in quasars. A power spectrum can tell something about the behavior of a signal at every moment in time.
"I'm hoping that this is pointing us in the right direction," he said.
Okada, who has the University of California-Berkeley as his main college option, was heading out Friday to preparations for the Hawaii Science Bowl, to be held today at Honolulu Community College.
Also attending the Intel science fair will be the second-place qualifier, Sarah Jenkins, a Molokai High School 10th-grader. Her project was "Artificial Nesting Structures For Hawaiian Coot Nesting Success."
The Hawaii Academy of Sciences will help defray some of their transportation expenses.
Jenkins and Okada also will be attending the Hawaii State Science and Engineering Fair from April 7 to 9 at the Hawaii Convention Center on Oahu.

Colombia Peso Bond Yields Hold at Record on Inflation, Growth
Yields on Colombia's peso bonds held at a record low on speculation inflation slowed in September and investment in public works will buoy economic growth.
The yield on the government's 10 percent peso-denominated bonds due in July 2024 was little changed at 6.28 percent, according to the central bank, remaining at the lowest closing level since the debt was first sold in 2009.
"Investors have been getting out of the short end of the curve and going into the long end as they see inflation falling," said Alejandro Reyes, the head analyst at Ultrabursatiles brokerage in Bogota. "Given investment in public works, the central bank might have been underestimating growth and in that sense there is not much room to cut rates further."
Annual inflation slowed to 2.95 percent in September, according to the median estimate of 26 economists surveyed by Bloomberg before the Oct. 5 report. The central bank targets inflation between 2 percent and 4 percent.
Banco de la Republica kept the overnight lending rate at 4.75 percent on Sept. 28, matching the forecast of 22 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Twelve had expected a 25 basis point cut.
Spending on public works rose 23 percent in the second quarter from a year ago, according to government figures. Colombia announced last month it would offer 30 highway tenders worth 40 trillion pesos ($22 billion). More than 8,000 kilometers (4,971 miles) of highways will be built in six years, according to the infrastructure agency.
Colombia's economy grew 4.9 percent in the second quarter from a year earlier, according to a Sept. 20 report, beating the forecasts of all 29 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.
The peso declined 0.2 percent to 1,802.62 per U.S. dollar, paring its rally this year to 7.5 percent, the fifth-best performance among world currencies tracked by Bloomberg.

The suspect was described by police as a man from 20 to 25 years old, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 and 170 to 180 pounds wearing a blue ski mask, blue jacket and faded black jeans.
There were no injuries reported and no arrests at this time, according to police.

Pats pass on DT John Drew, opt to sign DL Anthony Rashad White instead
|07.22.13 at 6:10 pm ET
After it sounded like they were locked in on an agreement, the Patriots reversed course on John Drew Monday, deciding to take a pass on the defensive tackle after the two sides had come to an agreement. Instead, on Monday evening, they announced they had signed rookie defensive lineman Anthony Rashad White.
White, 23, was originally signed by Pittsburgh as a rookie free agent out of Michigan State on April 27, 2013 but was released by the Steelers on May 14. The 6-foot-2, 330-pounder, was a three-year letter winner as a nose tackle, seeing action in 39 games with 16 starts and accumulating 65 total tackles. He began his college career at Fort Scott (Kan.) Community College in 2009 before transferring to Michigan State for the 2010 season. White was a starter for his final two seasons.
In addition, according to reports, the Patriots were set to work out wide receiver Laurent Robinson Tuesday. Robinson had some positional versatility, which would make him attractive to New England.
The 28-year-old out of Illinois State has played for four teams in his six seasons in the league, and his best year came in 2011 with the Cowboys when he caught 54 passes for 858 yards and 11 touchdowns. But after signing a five-year $32.5 million deal last offseason with the Jags, he was cut after suffering a series of concussions.

Villa Maria edges Mercyhurst Prep in first showdown
It wasn't pretty, but Villa Maria took round one in its renewed rivalry against Mercyhurst Prep.
Amesha Harden-Pullium drilled two free throws with 1 minute, 15 seconds left to help the Victors pull away and secure a thrilling 24-20 Region 6 win over the Lakers in front of more than 1,500 fans at the Hammermill Center.
"I was nervous, but I had to take my time and hold my follow-through," Harden-Pullium said. "We prepared very hard for this one and it's a good region win. We knew we had to play great defense and now we get ready for McDowell."
Villa (7-1 overall, 2-0 Region 6) led the entire 32 minutes but had to play intense defense to keep Mercyhurst Prep (7-3, 1-1) from completing a comeback.
Harden-Pullium drilled a 3-pointer early in the fourth quarter to give the Victors a 21-15 lead. Harden-Pullium led all scorers with eight points.
Emily Stoicovy responded immediately with a 3-pointer and Erika Woll followed with a drive to cut the lead to 21-20 with 3 minutes left.
"It's a big region win. I think Mercyhurst wanted to control the possessions and play a low-scoring game," Villa coach Doug Chuzie said. "Fortunately, we were able to pull out a low-scoring region win. We'll enjoy it for about five minutes before getting ready for McDowell."
Both teams struggled to get their offenses going and Mercyhurst was forced to start fouling. Villa was 3-of-11 before Harden-Pullium stepped to the line. Lindsey Mifsud tacked on one more free throw to give the Victors a 24-20 win.
"We're a young team, graduating five of our top six and for Amesha to come out and knock down those foul shots like she did in front of this crowd, that's a credit to her," Chuzie said.
"This was a Jan. 10 game and we are looking to keep getting better," Chuzie said. "The first half wasn't any different as both offenses were scouted so well that the defenses knew what they were doing before they did."
Villa jumped to an 11-3 lead in the first half behind four points from Shanice Morris and a 3-pointer by sophomore Morgan Putnam.
Mercyhurst countered with back-to-back buckets by Brenna Robbins and Amesha Harden-Pullium scored in the final seconds of the first half to give the Victors a 13-7 lead at halftime.
Indiana recruit Karlee McBride finished with seven points despite severe foul trouble for the Victors.
Stoicovy paced Mercyhurst with seven points and Robbins contributed with six points and six rebounds.
The two teams will play again on Feb. 5 at Mercyhurst University with a third meeting possible in the D-10 Class AAA playoffs.
Before the exciting varsity game, the Villa junior varsity team held off a late comeback by Mercyhurst Prep to win 35-25 in a battle of unbeaten teams.

Earlier today, I broke down the prospects that made American League Opening Day rosters. Here's the National League.
Arizona Diamondbacks: The D-Backs appear to be prepared to go with Chris Owings over Didi Gregorius, and that's the right decision. He's just simply a better player. They went with their better judgement as well with Archie Bradley, allowing him to return to the minors and finish his development. He won't be down there for long, however.
Atlanta Braves: The M*A*S*H unit that has become the Braves pitching staff has opened the door for the likes of David Hale and Gus Schlosser to join their banged up rotation in a fit of desperation. It's not a great scenario for the Braves, who are otherwise poised to contend, but it's a credit to them that they have those kinds of players as depth. I discussed what can be expected from Schlosser earlier this week.
Chicago Cubs: It's not time for the big wave of prospects to hit the north side, but last year's trade acquisition Mike Olt played well enough this spring to warrant both a roster spot and an Opening Day start. The cavalry is coming, however, and will be led by Javier Baez at some point this summer.
Cincinnati Reds: I'd tell you about Billy Hamilton earning the leadoff and center field jobs in Cincinnati, but I think he just stole 10 more bases. The Reds are also going to lean on Tucker Barnhart as their backup catcher until Devin Mesoraco returns from the DL.
Colorado Rockies: The Rockies have a pair of rookie relievers in their bullpen. Chad Bettis saw time in the big leagues last year, but Tommy Kahnle was the long-shot as a Rule V pick out of D-II Lynn University. Kahnle throws very hard (upper-90's), but has some control issues he'll have to overcome.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Chris Withrow is technically still a rookie, even though it feels like he's been around forever. Otherwise, this is a veteran-laden team.
Miami Marlins: No prospects on the Marlins because they called them all up too early last season. Boo Marlins.
Milwaukee Brewers: No prospects on the Brewers from one of the weakest farm systems in the league.
New York Mets: Travis d'Arnaud was all but a given, but injuries almost got us Noah Syndergaard or Rafael Montero at the start of the season. The Mets made the right decision not do call up their top pitching prospects just yet, but we'll see both by mid-summer.
Philadelphia Phillies: Cesar Hernandez doesn't exactly elicit excitement from a prospect standpoint, but he can do enough things to warrant his roster spot. Maikel Franco and Jesse Biddle are the prospects worth watching for, and both could be up this summer.
Pittsburgh Pirates: The Pirates are holding off their best prospects (namely Gregory Polanco and Jameson Taillon) until after the super two deadline, but both should be factors on this year's club.
San Diego Padres: No prospects for the Padres. Boo Padres.
San Francisco Giants: No prospects on the Giants. The Giants aren't as old as they use to be, but they're not exactly young.
St. Louis Cardinals: Kolten Wong held onto the second base job that was handed to him before the start of spring training, but Carlos Martinez was unable to win a rotation spot, though it had nothing to do with his performance. Martinez was excellent this spring, but the spot went to Joe Kelly while Martinez returns to the bullpen to pitch in high-leverage situations.

Queb's Picks: Big games on tap for Acadia Parish teams
Each week gets bigger and bigger for nearly every high school football team in Acadia Parish.
And the reasons vary for each.
Crowley High, Iota and Church Point are all fighting for a spot in the playoffs and victories are a must.
Notre Dame and Rayne, meanwhile, are postseason locks and both are battling to maintain or improve their seeding status.
All-in-all, victories are important for all involved.
In Crowley's case, the Gents took a big step forward in the playoff picture with a 55-12 victory over South Beauregard last week. However, they must still win at least two of their final three games to have any chance at the playoffs.
Iota now finds itself in a must-win situation the final three weeks after a heartbreaking loss to Oakdale and Church Point is hitting possibly its roughest stretch of the season with games against Rayne, Livonia and Eunice remaining.
Notre Dame can pretty much lock up the top seed in Class 3A with three straight victories while Rayne will probably assure itself a top 4 seed by winning out.
And while we're on the topic of winning...
Kye Cantey took top honors in the Crowley Post-Signal's weekly football contest by missing just two games. He also made his way back to the top of the overall standings where he has 30 losses and is tied for the lead with Doug and Easton LaCombe.
Andrew Sarver was the runnerup, edging out Don Kernan, Elton Bourque and Jeff Bourgeois by virtue of the tiebreaker.
I dropped five games on the week and now have 34 losses on the year. That puts me four games behind overall leaders.
Now on to this week's picks:
On the local prep scene I'm taking...
Crowley over Jennings – The Gents last week finally got the big night out of their offense that they had been looking for. Consistency was the key and will continue to be if they hope to make a playoff run.
Notre Dame over Westlake – The Pios were put to the test last week by Iowa, but as usual, they passed with flying colors. I look for much of the same this week.
Rayne over Church Point – This is one of those rivalry games that could go either way. It's the Bears' dominating defense against the Wolves' high-powered offense. Who wins, I have no clue. Just going with the home team here. But I do wish I could be there in person to witness it.
Iota over Pine Prairie – The Dogs are backed into a corner now with last week's loss. I look for them to come out and score early and often in this one. Dogs win big.
In other prep action I'm taking Carencro over Acadiana, St. Thomas More over Breaux Bridge, St. Charles over Brusly, Jewel Sumner over Albany, Loranger over Independence, Patterson over Jeanerette, Ville Platte over Bunkie, Oakdale over Mamou, West St. Mary over Delcambre and University over Dunham.
On to the college ranks, I'm going to go ahead and jump back on the LSU bandwagon, for one more week at least. The Tigers looked impressive at home against South Carolina and although they are on the road this week, I think it is a very winnable game. I mean, the Aggies nearly blew it against La. Tech last week.
In other games, I'm taking Arizona over Washington, Stanford over Cal, Florida State over Miami, Florida over South Carolina and Clemson over Virginia Tech.

Is it me, or have the Florida Gators fallen from college football grace?
Some will argue that Will Muschamp is rebuilding the program and cleaning up the mess that Urban Meyer left behind, but there seems to be a lack of enthusiasm, excitement or excellence coming out of Gainesville these days.
The post-Urban Meyer era started off like a lead balloon. After a 4-0 start, the oxygen was quickly sucked out of The Swamp when the Alabama Crimson Tide came calling and easily defeated the Gators in front of a sold-out crowd.
Yes, injuries played a big part in the Gators' downfall as well as the inconsistencies of learning a brand-new system, as Florida switched from a spread to a pro-style offensive strategy.
Muschamp tapped Charlie Weis to run the offense, and his tenure was brief, as he was offered and accepted the head coaching job at Kansas.
What else is holding back or dragging down the Gators football program? Let's take a look.

funny thing is kimbo is a tough dude with a MASSIVE following (even after his ufc fail)... i know a few dudes that sparred with kimbo @ top team. the guy's punching power is no joke... his issue is conditioning and ground game.
honestly, i think kimbo shouldve pursued boxing FIRST instead of ufc... i think with the current crop of HW boxers, kimbo couldve made some noise. MMA was the wrong choice for a heavy-handed brute with weak legs.
once kimbo starts putting up big numbers, the circus will start. im surprised don king hasnt signed him.
kimbo + king = hilarious event

The Thunder were rained out Wednesday in Erie Pa.; although the game was postponed to August 16, the Thunder and the Erie SeaWolves decided to play two yesterday anyway.
In the longest game of the season, the Thunder outlasted Erie, 9-6, in 16 innings in front of 4,698 at Jerry Uht Park in a game which took four hours, 44 minutes.
Ray Kruml hit a RBI double in the 16th for the 7-6 lead. Addison Maruszak belted a two-run homer to pad it. Trenton (21-18) had taken a 6-5 lead in the top of the 15th on Bradley Suttle's sacrifice fly which scored Corban Joseph.
However, Fernando Hernandez gave up a RBI single to Brandon Douglas to blow the save as the run was charged to Kei Igawa. Hernandez (3-2) did record a 1-2-3 16th to notch his third win.
Erie reached Thunder starter Shaeffer Hall for five runs on six hits in five innings. A three-run homer by Rawley Bishop in the first inning did most of the damage.
Melky Mesa tripled in a run and scored on a passed ball to make it 4-2 in the second. Austin Romine had a RBI groundout in the third to pull the Thunder within a run in the third before Erie got the run back in its half of the frame.
Suttle hit a two-run homer in the fifth to tie the game a 5-all. It stayed that way until the 15th inning.
Relievers Pat Venditte, Tim Norton, Cory Arbiso and Hernandez combined for 6 1/3 scoreless innings.
• The Yankees promoted right-hander Carlos Silva to Triple-A Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre yesterday.
Silva made one start with the Thunder, throwing six innings, only allowing an unearned run, Saturday against Binghamton. He left in line for the win, but the Thunder lost, 3-2, after Allan Dykstra's two-run homer in the top of the ninth.
Silva was signed by the Yankees to a minor league contract April 10 after he was released by the Chicago Cubs in March. Since joining the Yankees organization, the righty from Venezuela has made two starts with the Single-A Tampa, going 0-0 with a 2.57 ERA.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Rookie receiver Stephen Hill said the explanation was simple: He tried to run with the ball in wide-open space before securing the catch.
"It was just a catch I should have caught," Hill said. "That is it."
In a game of what-ifs for the Jets Sunday, Hill's may have been the most glaring. On a third-and-4 at the Patriots' 25, with the Jets trailing by three with 2:15 remaining in the fourth quarter, Hill found himself open past the first-down marker with plenty of room to run.
Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, so certain the pass was complete, said he'd already turned to the sideline to get the next play call.
But Hill dropped the pass, and the Jets had to settle for a field goal.
"Ah. That's a tough one," Sanchez said. "That's a tough one. Steve, he had a great game working, too. He ran a hell of a route. That one, you might turn and score on that thing."
Hill has experienced some rapid highs and lows this season, from a two-touchdown debut, to a two-game catchless streak and a hamstring injury that knocked him out of action for a few weeks.
Some dropped passes have also plagued him, and Jets coach Rex Ryan said the team will do whatever it can to clear them up in the coming weeks.
"You'll do everything," Ryan said. "He'll get on the JUGS machine. I know one thing about Stephen Hill, he's a hard working kid. … He's only going to get better."
• RB Shonn Greene left the game at the 10:23 mark in the fourth quarter after getting blasted by Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes. It appeared Spikes' shoulder hit Greene hard in the helmet.
Greene dropped to the turf and was still for a few moments before popping up and walking to the sidelines where he was evaluated by team doctors. He would return in overtime.
When asked about his concussion evaluation and how he felt, Greene would only say: "I'm good," an answer he gave to every question he was asked.
• RB Joe McKnight left the stadium limping, much like the way he came into the game, still bothered by a lingering ankle injury he sustained against the Colts. McKnight was able to push through, though, and averaged 29 yards per kickoff return. He was listed as a game-time decision heading into the game.
"I had to deal with the pain, but I made it through" McKnight said. "I know it's going to be sore (today)."
• TE Jeff Cumberland will receive an MRI Monday on his right hand/wrist injury, which caused him to leave the game and not return. Cumberland had what appeared to be a cast or heavy wrap around the injured area.
• Tim Tebow lined up as a tailback three times Sunday before Sanchez motioned away to wide receiver and left him to take direct snaps. Tebow finished with four carries total for 12 yards.
Ryan had said there was a possibility Tebow could help add depth to the depleted running back corps.

Virginia Tech rallied from a horrendous first-half effort in which they trailed ACC rival virginia by 16 points, to pull within two points late in the second half, but it was too little too late as the Hokies lost their third straight to fall to 4-4 overall and 0-1 in ACC play.
Malcolm Delaney led all scorers with 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting, but he got little help outside of fellow senior Jeff Allen, who was the only other Hokie to score in double figures with 12 points. Allen also led the team in rebounding with nine. Tech head coach Seth Greenberg got only two points from his bench, that being a pair of free throws from Erick Green.
Statistically, the game was a dead heat with the exception of free throw attempts; the Hokies made all four of their attempts, while the hoos made 7 of 11.
Tech fell behind early and trailed the entire game. Delaney scored the Hokies' first seven points to keep it close, 7-10, but uva went on a 9-2 run to open up a 10-point lead and it was all downhill from there in the first half. Delaney ended up scoring 14 of Virginia Tech's 24 first-half points.
The Hokies came out in the second half with more energy and focus and cut the lead to two, 51-53, with :20 to play in the game, but couldn't pull it out in the end. The flat and listless first-half performance was too much to overcome.
For a team picked to finish second in the ACC, the Hokies have greatly underachieved through eight games this season. And the frustration is evident among the coaches, players and fans. Tech gets a week off for exams before hosting Penn State on Sunday, Dec. 12, at 1 p.m.

Cadence to appeal Avant court digest…
...but internal memo reveals Cadence anger
Design house Cadence said it is to appeal against a US district judge pre-trial ruling in its ongoing case of alleged trade secret theft against Avant. Meanwhile, an internal Cadence document has come to light which reveals what the company thinks, in private, about Avant and the case. An official statement by Cadence said that judge Ronald Whyte, in a California court, did not affect other aspects of the case following a waiver dated 6 June 6 1994. A Cadence lawyer said that this ruling "did not impact our ability to recover lost profits based on sales of Avant's ArcCell and Aquarius products". But the internal memo shows a far less polite view of the proceedings. Smith McKeithen, Cadence's lawyer, said: "Avant's own press release suggests that it is very likely we will win damages. The court's ruling has no effect on our claims for trade secrets stolen after June 6, 1994. The court's actions... have no bearing on the Santa Clara Country District Attorney's criminal case against Avant and its executives. That case is set to go to trial on November 15, 1999." The memo continued: "While Avant has employed virtually every legal stalling tactic in our civil case, we remain optimistic that Cadence will prevail when the case is put before a jury. Their theft of our code was brazen; its use was critical to their product development process; and the profits they derived from establishing their business on a foundation of Cadence intellectual property were substantial. That's the case, and we're ready to prove it." No one was available for comment from Avant at press time. ®

The State Senate gave gay couples a Valentine's Day gift, an opportunity for Wildwood weddings and Mullica Hill honeymoons, by approving gay marriage Monday. On Thursday, the General Assembly is poised to do the same.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania celebrates the "Year of the Bible."
Among the book's teachings: Blessed are the gas drillers, for they shall inherit the earth.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey are neighbors, sharing a river, a region, and for a long time the fiscal play toy that is the Delaware River Port Authority.
But most days New Jersey seems rooted firmly in the present, operating more or less in 2012, while Harrisburg potentates seem game on attempting to legislate residents back to 1953.

Amtrak for iOS 1.5 Supports iPhone 5, Boosts Train Status Reporting
For people that equate the journey and destination, the train is the way to travel. The Amtrak for iOS app, a great way to keep your travel plans on track, has received a major update. And, did you know that Arrive, the carrier's on-board magazine, is available for iOS devices? Get both here.
Amtrak for iOS 1.5 (free) is now available and offers a completely redesigned Train Status feature. Additionally, the app is now iPhone 5 compatible and improvements have been made to Facebook integration (i.e. reduced notification alerts).
Amtrak's eMagazine
Although it has been available on the App Store since August 2012, I got my first exposure to Arrive Magazine (free) came today — the US national passenger rail carrier's onboard magazine (i.e. setback pouch).
The traditional glossy print layout works well on the iPad and is otherwise functional on the iPhone — content and layout are word for word the same. Stories run the gamut from route and destination attractions to generically appealing stories, like arts, culture and personal finance.
Although train travel isn't on my immediate itinerary, I'm looking forward to a little train-related recreational reading this weekend…
And, you?

I have always done mixtapes. Before I had dj equipment I made what we in Sweden called 'Blandband', mixtapes, for my friends. Recorded on tape from vinyl with start and stop-technique. When I got my first double-deck cassette recorder, it got a little more advanced.
In the early 90's I got myself some decks and a Vestax Trix-mixer, and sometimes I made tapes at home and sometimes I spent hours at a local nightclub, trying to record the perfect mix while the cleaners did their work.
Then came the cd's. I made them for my friends and when I started dj out a lot we formed a dj group called 4SSS. 4 seasons sound system. We made one cd each, burned more than 100 copies and printed out labels and covers and shared the cd's at gigs. A package of 4 quality deep house-cd's. These were also downloaded 3-400 times each.
Last few years I have tried to do more mixes, since I'm not really djing anymore. Mostly done with Traktor.
As the name, Fredagsmixen (The Friday Mix), suggests, I will try to get a new mix up every friday. It might take a while to get there.
About Henrik Löwenhamn
I'm 42 years old, father of Love & Elsa, and lives in Visby, Gotland, Sweden. I used to dj a lot in Stockholm at clubs like Monday Bar, Fokused and Berns and I was resident dj at Grodan Cocktail Club for two years.
I have a blog, in swedish, at www.lowenhamn.se, and can be found on Facebook and Twitter.

Pigeon. House of Anansi Press 2009
Solie, winner of the 2010 Griffin Poetry Prize for
her book, Pigeon, is no stranger to awards. Her first
collection of poems, Short Haul Engine, won the Dorothy
Livesay Poetry prize and was shortlisted for the Griffin
Poetry prize, the ReLit Award, and the Gerald Lampert
Memorial Award. Her second collection, Modern and Normal,
was shortlisted for theTrillium Award for Poetry. A native
of Saskatchewan and now living in Toronto, Solie is considered
one of Canada's best poets. She recently read at the Cobourg
Poetry Workshop.
2009/10 was a remarkable year for you, winning the Triple-Crown
of Canadian poetry - the Griffin Prize, The Pat Lowther
Award and the Trillium Book Award. What kind of pressure
has this put on you and your approach to writing poetry?
Is there, knowing the poetry world will be looking for
your next book, a voice saying, "I'm a Griffin winner,
I have to up my game." Does it change how you craft
a poem now?
was an unexpected and incredible year for me. It was encouraging,
more than anything. That kind of recognition and affirmation
of one's work doesn't happen very often. But I think the
pressure writers put on themselves to write a book better
than the last one, to make something beautiful and important,
trumps any other kind. If you don't always feel that you
have to up your game -- after every book, every poem --
you're in trouble. So nothing really has changed in that
department, in the experience of sitting down to a new
piece of writing. What those prizes have done is switched
another kind of pressure off for a little while. If it
turns out I need a root canal, for example, I can have
it done. This might sound flippant, and it's the example
I've been using a lot, but anyone who's ever needed one
of those and couldn't afford it knows that the situation
is demoralizing and stressful and makes it hard to work.
How do you craft a poem - from the original spark to its
a poem begins for me with notes in a notebook. The notes
can be inspired by anything: an observation, an event,
something overheard, the coincidence of two experiences
that generates a new idea between them. I make some notes,
and eventually begin to compose on the computer, where
I can see the effects of different line breaks, forms,
diction and syntax, their cadences and sounds, and try
different techniques more easily. Eventually it will become
apparent whether the thing, the idea, is worth working
on or not. If it is, forty thousand revisions later, there
might be a poem there.
What drew you to writing poetry?
really don't know why I started writing poetry. Why would
anyone in their right mind do that? Seriously, though,
I read fiction pretty much exclusively until my third
year of undergraduate work, when I was introduced to poets
including Hopkins, Dickinson, Stevens, Auden, Larkin,
Bishop, Moore, O'Hara, Ashbery, Hugo, Carson. I was fascinated
by the enormity and relevance and thrilling effects of
this work, by what the language can do, and began to wonder
if I could do it too. I went on to expand my reading experience
in order to make some attempts at it, and that fascination
and process hasn't changed. But I never did choose to
write poetry as opposed to working in other genres. It's
just what's happened so far. In terms of effects and enormity
and all that, I continue to be as inspired by fiction
and non-fiction as by poetry.
One of the threads that runs through Pigeon, is your concern
for the environment, the impact of big business on our
lives, nicely juxtaposed with the day-to-day minutiae
of the world around us.
I suppose so. Perhaps it comes from growing up on the
farm. Which, although rural, is a very industrial place,
what with its machinery and chemicals and dependence on
corporate and government systems.
The quote on the back page of Pigeon from the Globe and
Mail infers you are now an 'establishment' poet. How do
you feel about that (assuming there really is such a thing
as a Canadian poetry 'establishment').
don't really feel anything about it. I'm not sure what
there is to feel about it. It doesn't make the work any
easier or more difficult, any more or less than what it
is on the page. At the end of the day, you still have
to try to write something you honestly believe is good,
whatever you're called.
Your Wikipedia entry says you 'currently reside in Toronto',
suggesting a restlessness. Your poems in Pigeon swing
back an forth between eastern Canada and Saskatchewan
... is it a case of 'you can take the girl out of Saskatchewan
but not Saskatchewan ....'
have led a fairly restless life, have lived in a few places.
It seems to be continuing that way, though I don't know
whether it's out of inclination or necessity. Both, I
guess. My husband and I rent a small apartment in Toronto,
and though it certainly has its drawbacks, it allows a
certain amount of freedom to accept travel opportunities
and temporary jobs elsewhere. I do try to get back to
Saskatchewan at least twice a year for a few weeks at
a time. I have family there, but it also remains an inspiring
place for me in terms of the writing. The landscape resists
nostalgia. My personal history, the weather, the history
of the place resists nostalgia. I find this at once an
open and a challenging environment to write in. There's
nothing easy or convenient about it. Its beauty is more
along the lines of the sublime than the pretty. But also
there's the fact of the peace and quiet I can find out
there. And simply the change of scenery that allows a
person to place images and ideas in relief against another
context and become reacquainted with their strangeness.
Images of wildlife, especially birds of prey, and snow,
flow through your work.
guess they do. I hadn't really thought about it. Probably
everyone has their recurring images.
How did you come up with the title, Pigeon for such a
varied collection?
like the sound of the word, and its many connotations.
On a literal level, I was thinking about how a non-human
animal is categorized as a pest by virtue of its numbers.
A pigeon is quite a beautiful bird, but its ubiquity has
rendered it somewhat invisible; or made it visible in
the way that garbage is. It's in the air and on the ground,
a "flying rat." Also, they are everywhere, the
city and the country, and are tremendously adaptable.
They exist because of and in spite of us, the way beauty
does. "Pigeon" also has several vernacular applications
I like. It's a term of endearment and an insult to a goof
or an easy mark, someone who's been set up. A stool pigeon
is a snitch, and deplorable. Its homonym indicates a mash-up
dialect of languages and slang, as in "pidgin english."
Your thoughts on prose as 'poetry' ... at what point does
prose become poetry?
don't know that there's a line, or point, when prose becomes
poetry. Or if there is, I don't know where it is. In my
view there are things published called poetry that aren't.
Breaking something into lines doesn't make it a poem.
There's a lot more at stake. Sometimes a piece is good
outside of -- or inclusive of, perhaps -- categories of
poetry or prose fiction or the essay or whatever. Sometimes
a piece isn't any good no matter what it is called, or
calls itself.
So, what is poetry in 2011?
in 2011 is what poetry has been since the beginnings of
poetry. It is a particular discipline of paying attention.
It is, when it's good, a beautiful mode of thinking. It
reminds us that beauty is not always easy, pretty, sweet,
nor does it confirm what we think we know and the ways
we think we know it. And in this, it promotes communication
and empathy that are complex, and richer. Like all art,
poetry reminds us of the importance of being challenged,
unhoused, and that pleasure does not always take the form
of a pat on the head. Like all art, it is one of the reasons
to live. In order for one to act, one must first take
notice, and think, and this is what good poetry enacts.
Who are your favourite poets?
changes depending on who I'm reading at a particular time.
And the trouble with writing these little lists is that
they can easily get very long as a person remembers writers
they don't want to leave out. Just a few of my constants
-- in addition to those first inspirations listed above
-- are Tomas Transtromer, Tim Lilburn, Michael Hofmann,
Czeslaw Milosz, Louise Gluck, Don Paterson, Dean Young,
Ken Babstock, Robert Hass, Don McKay . . . . impossible.
I'm going to stop now. I'm going to read this later and
see a lot of omissions.
Given all the travel you've experienced recently, what
books do you take with you - and what are you reading
opportunity for another list! In addition to the above,
I'm reading poems by Timothy Donnelly, Henri Cole, Alice
Oswald, and revisiting the Faber and Faber Book of 20th-Century
German Poems that Hofmann edited. I'm also reading essays
by Eliot Weinberger, short fiction by James Salter and
Deborah Eisenberg, and Leonard Gardner's novel Fat City.
I'm preparing now to take up a four-month residency in
Scotland, and will, in addition to any number of writers
from the lists above, probably pack more novels, books
of essays, poems, and research texts than I should, in
addition to all the teaching materials I have to take
for work.
How did you enjoy reading at the Cobourg Poetry Workshop?
I enjoyed reading at the Cobourg Poetry Workshop very
much. Public readings are always nerve-wracking, but the
community in Cobourg is very generous and made it a real
pleasure. My favourite part, I have to say, was hearing
David and Linda read!
14) Is there a new book in the works?
am working on the manuscripts for a new book of poems
and a novel.
