Men are usually held in high esteem for their strong will. "What a leader!" people say. "He's bold and lives with conviction."
But a woman with a strong will is often characterized quite differently. "She's bossy, controlling, and too self-assured." It's as if a woman can only be virtuous if she's quiet and meek.
I think women and men are identical in this sense – God doesn't want to rid us of our personalities, He wants to direct it and use it for His purposes.

Recycle Your Christmas Tree This Week in Lufkin
As long as the lights and tinsel are stripped off of your tree, you can recycle it. Here's how.
As long as the lights and tinsel are stripped off of your tree, you can recycle it. Here's how.
Once again this year, NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command), will be using their high tech satellites and communications network to keep track of the exact whereabouts of Santa Claus.
Aunts are the worst Christmas gift-givers, according to a survey. But there are probably plenty of others in our circle of family and friends that can contribute to awkward gift-related moments! What to do, what to do. Here are some face-saving ideas.
If you and your family have time to get away for a day or two during the Christmas holiday you may want to consider a trip to 'Santaland' and 'ICE'.
There's a new grinch in town, and you really don't want to be on his naughty list.
Hilarity ensues when a tiny Santa hat is slapped onto the back of an unsuspecting cat.
Are you sending Christmas cards? If not, you're in the norm.
How beautiful, unique, and bright are the Festival of Trees at the Museum of East Texas? Buddy the Elf would faint from sensory overload.
If you have an artificial Christmas tree you're in the norm. Two-thirds of us have the fake trees, and less than 1 in 5 go to the work of hauling a real one home on the roof of the car.
The most popular artificial tree color in Texas falls right in line with the rest of the country, and if you don't have it at home I bet you're seeing this color at the office.
CHI St. Luke's Health Memorial is making sure the holiday spirit is alive and well in the nursery room.
If you have kids then you've had those special moments when your child did something to make your heart fill with pride and your eyes fill with tears.
Imagine your dad's delight when you hand him a gift that's wrapped in packaging with your face plastered all over it. Who needs a bunch of Santas or Reindeer, when it can be your face all over the paper, on a dancing elf! This is the ultimate Christmas selfie.

The Voice of Nursing: Celebrating 100 years of the RCN

In this exhibition, we invite you to explore how nursing has changed over the past 100 years.

Vaccination past and present: Public Health exhibition launch
- 4 October 2016 6-9pm
For the launch of the exhibition A healthful form of work: The history of Public Health Nursing, we have invited a panel of speakers for a conversation on vaccination's controversial history.
Our expert speakers include RCN Professional Lead for Public Health Helen Donovan, nurse Dr Helen Bedford (UCL Institute of Child Health), consultant community paediatrician Dr David Elliman, historian Professor Sally Shuttleworth (University of Oxford), and paediatric infectious disease consultant Professor Paul Heath (St George's Hospital).
The panel will be followed by a drinks reception and the first chance to see the exhibition A healthful form of work: The history of public health nursing.
'A healthful form of work': The history of Public Health Nursing
- 4 October 2016 — 10 March 2017
Public health nursing has its origins in the 1800s with the rise of social reform and efforts to improve the health of the poorest in society. Through five overlapping waves of public health intervention, this exhibition highlights the development of public health nursing and the roles nurses have played in improving public health from the 19th century to the present day. The exhibition considers vaccination programmes – once within the medical field and now primarily a nursing role – alongside sanitary and welfare reforms, the development of health visiting, and recent interventions into social inequalities. By recognising the role of nurses in public health's past, we aim to inspire a future in which public health is everyone's business, in health care and beyond.
Suitable for
- Not suitable for children
Opening times and visiting details can be found on our website. Tours for groups available on request.

Connect! Nursing: A Centenary Celebration
- 29 October 2016 6-8pm
Exactly a century ago, proposals were realised for a new College of Nursing. These shaped the nursing profession and drive the work of the RCN today. On our 100th birthday, the College invites artist Peter Liversidge to explore new proposals for the future of nursing. Join us for a celebration of our haunted 1700s townhouse, once home to Prime Minister H.H. Asquith and visited by suffragettes, and the 1920s college and women's club.

Pre-Wolfenden to PrEP: HIV and sexual health services then and now
- 28 November 2016 5:30-7pm
In the lead-up to World AIDS Day on 1 December, we look at the experiences of patients, nurses and other sexual health care workers in an event chaired by Simon Dowe, Chief Executive of The Sussex Beacon. Richard McKay (University of Cambridge) will discuss ongoing research into the pre-AIDS history of sexual health among men who had sex with men, as well as the role of the media in the North American AIDS epidemic. HIV specialist nurse Jason Warriner (Chair of the RCN Public Health Forum) will expand on HIV services today. What can we learn for the future of public health from the devastating recent history of the AIDS epidemic?
Disability History Month at the RCN
- 8 December 2016 6-9pm
The main speaker at this event has just been confirmed as award winning writer, poet, performer and rights activist Penny Pepper. More details to follow soon.
One of the goals of the RCN's founders in 1916 was for the new College of Nursing to offer support for the general welfare of all their members. Many nurses had sustained injuries during service in the war, both physical and psychological. Among other things, the College established rest homes where members could relax, rejuvenate and recover. Nursing today remains a wide-ranging and sometimes risky profession where the potential for developing an illness or disability through work can be high.
Join to as we look back at the achievements of nurses and health care workers with disabilities over the last 100 years.
The Journey of Childhood Public health: From the Victorian Age to the present
- 25 January 2017 5:30-7pm
From inter-war malnutrition to Every Child Matters
The health issues facing children in the UK have changed dramatically since the emphasis on child labour in Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies (1863): Florence Nightingale's personal copy of this text features in our exhibition. Dr Jane K. Seymour (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) explores the role of public health doctors and their teams, which included school nurses and health visitors, in the inter-war period, while Professor Viv Bennett CBE (Chief Nurse, Public Health England) reflects on later developments in child health.
How do we ensure that every child gets the best start in life?
Nursing the Tropics: The history of travel health
- 15 February 2017 5:30-7pm
Travel medicine is a relatively new branch of medicine, offering advice to people travelling across the world for work or pleasure.
In the 1800s, nursing abroad was largely associated with Britain's colonies. Dr Rosemary Wall (University of Hull) talks about this history, in which nurses could be seen as agents of imperial hygiene. Dr Jon Cossar, former Foundation Vice Dean of the Faculty of Travel Medicine, and travel health specialist nurse Jane Chiodini will offer personal reflections on the development of travel medicine from the 1980s. A panel discussion, chaired by RCN Public Health Forum committee member Sandra Grieve, will consider what the future holds for travel health.

Ready in 20 minutes
With the addition of the fish fillets, the pan temperature drops; compensate for the heat loss by keeping the heat on medium-high for 30 seconds after adding them. If cooking two or three fillets instead of the full recipe of four, use a 10-inch skillet and medium-high heat for both preheating the pan and cooking the salmon. For heightened sesame flavor, rub the fish fillets with Asian sesame oil instead of canola or vegetable.
1. Heat a 12-inch heavy-bottomed skillet for 3 minutes over high heat. Spread sesame seeds in a pie plate. Rub salmon fillets with 2 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then press flesh sides of fillets in sesame seeds to coat.
2. Add remaining oil to pan; swirl to coat. When oil shimmers (but does not smoke) add fillets skin side down and cook, without moving fillets, until pan regains lost heat, about 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium-high; continue to cook until skin side is well browned and bottom half of fillets turns opaque, 4 1/2 minutes. Turn fillets and cook, without moving them, until they are no longer translucent on the exterior and are firm, but not hard, when gently squeezed: 3 minutes for medium-rare and 3 1/2 minutes for medium. Remove fillets from pan, being careful not to break sesame crust; let stand 1 minute. Pat with paper towel to absorb excess fat on surface, if desired. Serve immediately.

The Art of the Steal Documentary
February 2, 2010 · Print This Article
"The Art of the Steal" chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of art valued at more than $25 billion. In 1922, Dr. Albert C. Barnes formed a remarkable educational institution around his priceless collection of art, located just five miles outside of Philadelphia. Now, more than 50 years after Barnes death, a group of moneyed interests have gone to court for control of the art, and intend to bring it to a new museum in Philadelphia. Standing in their way is a group of Barnes former students and his will, which contains strict instructions stating the Foundation should always be an educational institution, and that the paintings may never be removed. Will they succeed, who has the right to direct the future of the collection?
Tuesday's Video pick | RuPaul
February 2, 2010 · Print This Article
Last night was the season premier of RuPaul's "Drag Race". While I do not have cable, I did find myself sifting through videos from the 90s and was a little surprised when I watched his 1993 video for Supermodel (You Better Work). Maybe I was too young to remember the campy greatness that is this week's pick but this video is so amazing. Especially if you think of what was popular at the time, typically grunge and gangster rap.
If you saw the header, yes that is RuPaul as both Michelle and Barack Obama
"You can call me he. You can call me she. You can call me Regis and Kathie Lee; I don't care! Just as long as you call me."
Saya Woolfalk Lectures Tuesday at SAIC
February 1, 2010 · Print This Article
The School of the Art Institute kicks off its current Visiting Artists Program with a lecture by Saya Woolfalk tomorrow, Tuesday February 2nd, at 6:00pm. From the Visiting Artist's Program website:
SAIC alumna Saya Woolfalk (MFA 2004) will present her ongoing project No Place, a multimedia, fictional future that reworks tropes of sexual, racial, and gender difference. The characters and stories in Woolfalk's constructed reality evoke travel narratives, science fiction, and the rhetoric of anthropology to investigate human possibilities (and impossibilities). Through diverse forms of installation, video, painting, drawing, performance, and sound, she reflects on human life and its future through configurations of biology, sociality, and the environment. Woolfalk's selected exhibitions include PS1/MoMA; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art; Studio Museum in Harlem; and Momenta Art. She has been an artist in residence at Skowhegan, Yaddo, Sculpture Space, and the Studio Museum in Harlem. Presented in collaboration with SAIC Alumni Relations.

Top 5 Weekend Picks!
January 28, 2010 · Print This Article
1. Dialogue: Presented by IRUS art (an intercultural collaborative art show between artists in Iran and the U.S.) at Co-Prosperity Sphere –
The crew down at Co-Pro are always working hard to put on events that are relevant withing AND beyond our little world of art. This is obviously no exception. And I quote, "Two teams of artists, one in Tehran and another in Denver have assembled under one name: IRUS (Iran – United States). Starting with our mutual respect for art, we have established collaborative projects between our groups." Friday night is the show reception, and Saturday is the discussion panel.
Co-Prosperity Sphere is located at 3219 S Morgan St. Reception is Friday from 7-10pm. Discussion is Saturday from 5-7pm.
2. M155 4m3r1c4 at Noble & Superior Projects –
Now, I will admit, I am rather partial to Noble and Superior Projects already, but that said, this show absolutely deserves a place in this weekend's Top 5, regardless of my previous experience with 'em. This show is a double whammy with Patrick Bobilin and Cara Anne Greene. Patrick's work, and I quote, "M155 4m3r1c4 (Miss America), is a loose narrative which uses documentation and fiction together to create a broad self-portrait doubling as cultural commentary," and involves video, photographs, and documents relating to the M155 4m3r1c4 narrative. And Cara Anne Greene, beautiful, beautiful Cara Anne Greene will be serving up cullinary complements to the story of M155 4m3r1c4. AWESOME!
Noble & Superior Projects is located at 1418 W Superior St 2R. Reception is Friday 6-10pm.
3. Closing Reception for Byron Roche –
Byron was one of the first gallerists I met in Chicago, and he set the bar high. He is endlessly knowledgeable and endlessly kind. It is, therefore,with a sad heart, that I make this addition to the Top 5. After 16 years with a public gallery, Byron is closing his space. He will continue to operate as a private art consultant, but no longer will there be that comforting island of Byron Roche Gallery in River North. No more box wine, no more Sweetheart Jewelry. So come down and say goodbye, this is your last chance.
Byron Roche is located 750 N. Franklin. Closing reception is Saturday from 11am-6pm.
4. Artist Talk with Adam Ekberg at Thomas Robertello Gallery –
The first of two not-to-be-missed artists' lectures happening this weekend. The be-bearded countenance of Mr. Ekberg will be discussing his work at Thomas Robertello Gallery, amid his wall mounted work. And I quote, "continuing with the use of lens-based phenomena, humble celebratory gestures, and primitive constructs, Ekberg further develops two distinct bodies of work; images created in the woods or nature, and images using his apartment as stage set." Be there or be square!
Thomas Robertello Gallery is located at 939 West Randolph St. The artist talk begins at 3pm.
5. Artist Talk with Aspen Mays at HPAC
The second not-to-be-missed artists' lecture this weekend. Aspen Mays will be discussing works from her From the Office of Scientists exhibition currently on display at HPAC. And I quote, "Mays activates the office cubicle as a site for information production and general inquiry where "big ideas†are generated." Sweet!
Hyde Park Art Center is located at 5020 S. Cornell Ave. The artist talk begins at 2pm.
Alison Ruttan's "Four Year War"
January 28, 2010 · Print This Article
Alison Ruttan has posted images on her website from her new "Four Year War" series, part of her ongoing Primates project. (I was able to observe one of the shoots for this project last summer, which I blogged about here). She's now edited the resulting photographs into a narrative of sorts, including storyboard-like sequences and dramatic close-ups. Of the series, Ruttan has said:
"From the beginning of my primate projects I have been collecting individual and group histories from scientist and zookeepers that I have met or read about in my research. These narratives often seem epic in scale and uncannily human in the way individuals interact with each other in their quest for power and position. The project, "The Four Year War at Gombe" is based on Jane Goodall's discovery that Chimpanzees wage war and are capable of long-range planning and strategic thinking. Goodall's group of chimpanzees lived peaceably together for many years before splitting into the two communities of Kesakela and Kahama. It seems that like us, the bloodiest feuds and civil wars are always waged against those whom we have the closest ties to. It is unknown what the specific causes were of the split and violence that followed. Perhaps it was an uneven distribution between males and females, a shortage of food or possibly a long-standing grudge. If this title, "The Never Ending Story" wasn't already taken, it would have seemed apt for this story that so closely mirrors our own history.
This large photographic and video project consists of related groupings of photographs and video that tell the story of this broken community. The series is divided between happy pastorals and a series of 9 murders that occurred between 1973 and 1977 at Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania. While not literal in intent I have used much of Goodall's research photographs and notes to reconstruct the history of this group. The participants in this project were all family, neighbors and friends who generously gave of their time and I think had some fun learning about primate societies and their behavior."
The images look pretty incredible thus far. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing this series in printed format, in a larger setting that allows for the full impact of the narrative to unfold. (More images can be found on the artist's website).

My daily commute consists of 10 miles of secondary roads and about 30 miles of interstate driving with a difference of over 1000ft in elevation during the drive. I've used studless winter tires in the past in level terrain and was relatively happy except on ice, but with the amount of driving and hilly terrain I elected to go with a set of 4 of these tires...

Initially this tire was great! After first rotation @ 5000 miles, the tires began a balancing issue. Found out two of my four are out of round and it takes a bunch of weight to balance them. This will never get any better on this set. It is a great tire in light snow and ice conditions if driven properly. I would use this tire in the future on a serparate...

AMT – Archaeologies of Media and Technology
The site for our new research group, AMT (Archaeologies of Media and Technology) is now live: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/amt/.
Directed by myself and Ryan Bishop, AMT is located at the Winchester School of Art and is an "office for media theory and speculative practice in art & design".
We are on Twitter as @amt_office and here's the short description of what AMT stands for:
Amt – (German) an administrative unit, office
Also: Airy Mean Time, a time standard used for timekeeping on Mars
Archaeologies of Media and Technology (AMT) is a research group that approaches technology and media writ large through their links to science, art, visual culture and critical theory with a strong emphasis on artistic practices. We investigate the conditions of existence of contemporary media technologies through design and art, in relation to both contemporary culture and cultural heritage with an eye toward the future.
The group will kick off with a range of activities after the summer including a small launch event planned tentatively for October even if we are already now involved in many things happening. The group builds on earlier work we have done with the transmediale-festival as well as many other links both in the School, in the UK and internationally. We have hosted various talks in these fields in the past years, including by Shannon Mattern, Alex Galloway, Lawrence Grossberg, Laurence Rickels, Olga Goriunova, Tony Sampson, Joanna Zylinska, Shintaro Miyazaki, Victor Burgin, Esther Milne, Pasi Valiaho and many others. We have hosted events such as Media Theory in Transit and The Image of the Network.
This week Linda Hilfling is giving an artist talk "Adding to the Paradox."
We will post more info during and after summer with events at WSA and through projects with our international friends and partners!
The lab as a symptom
I am giving a talk on Laboratory Fever in Amsterdam later in May and I am currently drafting some notes for that. This talk is part of the larger research and book project with my colleagues Lori Emerson and Darren Wershler, and most of our research process is documented on the What is a Media Lab-website. Below however a short excerpt from the forthcoming Amsterdam talk, and relating to a passage about (culture/humanities) labs as places of making, and the lab as a symptom.
In her historical contextualisation of the laboratory ("The Laboratory Challenge"), Ursula Klein puts it in rather clear terms: the laboratory was not merely a place of pure science and before the institutionalisation of the site since the 19th century as part of the scientific set up, it had many artisanal connotations as well. The lab was anyway part and parcel of a set-up of making and things, where knowledge was produced in material settings. Indeed, her interest is articulated relating to this "laboratory tradition that meshed studies of nature with technological innovation." Now, I wonder, how much could we gain and how far could we venture with the poached idea if we did a sort of a minor tweak and see how it sounds when considering the rhetorical promise as well as conditions how we think of labs in the humanities interested in culture and making?
"the laboratory tradition that meshes studies of culture with technological innovation".A simple and elegant hack, and an update of the scientific lab to a more humanities one? Acknowledging both the relation to "critical making" and also the nexus of culture and technology? Would this solve some of our problems and establish a seeming relation to the scientific labs as labor and elaboration of nature?
But too easy quips aside, there is something in the ways in which the lab as a site of technological making and artefactuality, in some ways, can be seen relating to the arguments by historians of science. Indeed, have we arrived at a situation where we return to the pre-scientific contexts of experimentation and wonder, where also romantic poetry is pitched as such a mode of experimentation, as Novalis once had it, and cultural realities can also found their sites of tests and experiments? Is the lab the neo-romantic but also the pre-scientific lab – a place of making and apparatuses, a place happy to borrow from the scientific aura of the science lab but not merely as an imitation of that model, but a sort of a institutional move that fits in with the issues of basic funding for departments too? Some might critique it as exactly a nostalgic move: at a time when most technocultural processes seem to be escaping the horizon of phenomenological perception and the tool-making Man's hand, we establish sites of such nostalgic proximity to individual technologies that are merely at most interfaces to the massive planetary level technological infrastructures. And yet, establishing concrete sites might be one way of interfacing not only with technologies but educational possibilities of intervention with that technological reality.
Because of the magnitude of questions "the lab" triggers, the number of separate and distinct labs there exists, and that every lab could produce their own particular answer, I would suggest that it is more fruitful to consider the lab not so much as a solution but as a symptom itself; just like Thomas Elsaesser (2016) recently asked about the discipline of media archaeology the question: instead of what is, we should ask why now? And we can extend the same logic of questioning to labs: not just what is a lab but why now? What is it about the lab not merely as an internal place of new methods or new forms of creative or academic activity but as a fold between such techniques and external political and economic conditions of current institutions that makes it a symptom? What are the sort things that temporalise this spatial setting as a question of the now – a question that defines it as a contemporary setting for particular experiments in not only academia or creative industries, but in "political anthropology of new institutional forms" to use Brett Neilson and Ned Rossiter's ideas.
Shannon Mattern at WSA
We are happy to host Shannon Mattern at the Winchester School of Art. She is giving a talk on Infrastructural Tourism on May 3rd, at 12 – details below! The talk is organised by our Centre for Global Futures and the emerging new research group AMT – Archaeologies of Media & Technology, about which more information later.
Here's the information about the talk:
Abstract: Infrastructural Tourism
We seem to have come to a sudden recognition that the Internet is a place made of countless material things – cables and data centers and rare earth minerals. We've witnessed a dawning realization that our Amazonian consumptive appetites are dependent on similarly heavy logistical systems and exploitative labor practices. We've surrendered to the reality of the Anthropocene and its precarious infrastructural, environmental, political, and ethical futures. This emergent infrastructural intelligence has spawned an explosion of infrastructural "literacy" and engagement projects that seek to "make visible the invisible," to call out the unrecognized, to bore into the "black-boxed." Grand Tours of nuclear infrastructures and key sites in telecom history have inspired many a recent Bildungsroman, in myriad mediated forms. Apps and data visualizations, sound walks and speculative design workshops, DIY manuals and field guides, urban dashboards and participatory mappings, hackathons and infrastructural tourism – strategies employed by artists and activists and even some city governments and federal agencies – all seek to "raise awareness" among a broader public about infrastructure's existence and its politics. They aim, further, to motivate non-specialist communities to contribute to infrastructure's maintenance and improvement, to inspire citizen-consumers to advocate for more accessible and justly distributed resources, and perhaps even to "engineer" their own DIY networks. In this talk I'll explore various pedagogical strategies, representational techniques, and modeling methods that have been employed to promote "infrastructural intelligence" — and consider what epistemologies, ontologies, ethics, affects, and politics are embedded in those approaches.
Shannon Mattern is an Associate Professor of Media Studies at The New School. Her writing and teaching focus on archives, libraries, and other media spaces; media infrastructures; spatial epistemologies; and mediated sensation and exhibition. She is author of _The New Downtown Library: Designing with Communities_ and _Deep Mapping the Media City_ (both published by University of Minnesota Press), and she writes a regular column about urban data and mediated infrastructures for _Places_, a journal focusing on architecture, urbanism, and landscape. She has also contributed to various public design and interactive projects and exhibitions. This spring she is a senior fellow at the Internationales Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. You can find her at wordsinspace.net.
Reviews and More
Some quick updates on new reviews and other news about some recent books, first starting with A Geology of Media. Our university PR-team did a short news item about it being selected on the Choice-magazine list of "Outstanding Academic Title for 2015".
It was reviewed in a couple of places including Contriver's Review: "An Archive Beneath". Kyle Bickoff writes in his review: "Parikka describes his book as part of the material landscape it defines, leaving little room for misinterpretation about the ubiquity and consequent exigence of his topic. This is clearly evident in the text's construction, from its precisely demarcated, stratified chapters, to the coherence of the argument within each layer; the book, indeed, has a geology of its own."
Also Leonardo ran a review of it. Gabriela Galati's text gives an overview of the book, highlighting some key themes and questions too.
In addition, also our other recent new book that we launched in a couple of places (including Kiasma (Helsinki), Montreal and London) Writing and Unwriting (Media) Art History: Erkki Kurenniemi in 2048 was recently reviewed. The short review in Neural summarises the book as follows: "The book challenges the reader to interpret Kurenniemi and his symbolic involvement in different disciplines, including his feverish daily archiving activities and the (re)invention of audio visual machines. The impact of this work is amplified, implicitly reinforcing both present complexity and future uncertainty."
Mediaarthistories in Montreal: Re-Create
I will be taking part in the Mediaarthistories 2015 conference soon (in November) in Montreal. Under the title Re-Create the event promises to be several days of exciting panels again with a good emphasis on practice-based research. We are participating with a panel on labs in humanities and media studies, addressing the practice and contexts of this interdisciplinary trend (incidentally, with Lori Emerson and Darren Wershler we are also working on a book and a project on labs; we will be also talking about this at Concordia University).
In addition, the same day (Saturday 7th of November) we are with Joasia Krysa and Perttu Rastas launching the Erkki Kurenniemi-book that came out with MIT Press! This is one of several launch events. Please join us and come hear more whether about labs or Kurenniemi!
The programme of the conference is online here.

I will be in Bristol on October 1st to talk about Geology of Media. The presentation part of a very nice looking talk series organised by colleagues at UWE, "The Anthropocene: Looking for the Emergency Exit". I am also pleased that the talk is chaired by Michelle Henning!
On a related note, on the fantasy of planetary exists, Benedict Singleton's "Maximum Jailbreak" is a good read!
A Secret Life of Media Ecologies
Next week, in Brazil it's all about media ecologies. A Secret Life of Objects, A Vida Secreta dos Objetos, is the 2nd in the series of major conferences that address theory, media and materiality of cultural interactions. The first of the two events takes place in Sao Paulo, the second in Rio de Janeiro. I am also happy to tell that Winchester School of Art is one of the official partners! There is even a video trailer to set the mood for the events: I will be giving a talk at both events on topics that relate to geology of media and the issues of urban pollution and smart cities.

For Alonzo Harris, the shift between neutral and fast is a quick one. The young second basemen/outfielder has always been known for his speed, his drive, and desire to apply his consistency to the game. However, its this 2011 Sand Gnats season that has Harris changing things up.
"I've been spending time transitioning to the outfield," Harris said, who made his debut to left field against the Greenville Drive on April 17. "Basically, coming from second base to the outfield has been very good. It allows me to know where to go when I get a ball because I know infield so well since I played that position."
Harris feels that this will make him more of an asset to the team. "The transition will put more value in me as a player," He explained. "So the coaches can say, 'just play second base tonight, that's all we need you for,' but if they need me outfield I can switch it up fast. If I have to, I can juggle roles. I can be that guy."
To become that guy, Harris has spent the majority of Spring Training focusing on his speed, only practicing in the outfield during the last week. However, Harris is confident that he's ready.
"Its going to be an easy transition," He said. "It has always been easy for me to juggle roles. Everyone worked on their game over the break, and I've learned to slow the game down and play it right. I'm really quick. I can get to the ball quick, but when I get it, I now know to slow the game down to avoid mistakes."
Harris also applies his speed and agility to his defense. Harris, who stole 18 bases in the 2010 season, is always thinking of getting from first to second as fast as possible.
When I get to first base," Harris said with a smile. "I'm going to steal second. I'm always going to steal it. At some point in time, any time on first, I'm going for it." Already, in the early 2011 season, Harris has stolen four bases.
That's not to say he's reckless. Harris knows when to slow down. "The only time I'm not thinking about stealing is when the manager tells me not to. If they give me the red light, I understand to stop and read the situation of the game. The scoreboard is going to dictate that. If we're down, I don't want to be risking outs."
Its not just the game that Harris has applied his speed to, but life as well. The Mississippi native, with a .211 batting average, went straight from highschool to the minor leagues in 2008, which was something Harris was use to.
"I was playing junior high ball," Harris recalled, "and that was a full advancement. So you had a 12 year old playing with all these 18 year olds. So basically, when I went from high school straight into professional ball, rather than going through college, it was much of the same."
Despite feeling like the young guy, Harris said he's never felt out of place. ""I was 18 when I came in, still feeling young and fresh, got my energy and going at it. It has actually been fun and challenging. My competition level has always been the same as everyone else's. I always feel like that. 24/7, I'm a competitor all the time. I'll do whatever I got to do to get to the next level, to get the advantage."

Ubisoft CEO believes streaming will make consoles extinct
Experts at one time proclaimed PC gamers were a dying breed, threatened by everything from piracy / poorly implemented DRM, a new generation of consoles and even mobile gaming.
For a time there Uncharted 4 feels like little more than a familiar, obligatory sequel. Thankfully, after a few chapters, the game dramatically improves and hits a great stride for much longer. By the end, it justifies the creation of a sequel in this nearly decade-old series beyond the need to check off the box between Ratchet & Clank and Wipeout on the PlayStation franchise list.

I got this crazy idea to try and build a demilitarized zone out of basketball courts, which youth and their families could be sure drug violence could not penetrate. Lofty, but what the hell is anyone else doing in Juarez?
2011 has been a watershed year for the movement working to end our county's disastrous war on drugs.
When prominent Mexican poet Javier Sicilia lost his 24-year-old son to drug-related violence this past March, he took to his pen.
Just like we need trust in our government, we need trust in our drug scheduling policies. So where is the independent task force to reconsider how drugs are scheduled?
It strikes me that there is a correlation between attitudes toward marijuana and attitudes toward "counter insurgency." This goes back to the '60s. Peaceniks were in the vanguard of the pot culture. Alcoholics were gung-ho for the war.
A secret operation to run guns across the border to Mexican drug cartels -- overseen by U.S. government agents -- threatens to become a major scandal for the Obama administration.
While frustration with the Mexican government's failure to stem the violence has been building for some time, Mexican author Javier Sicilia's grief proved to be a catalyst for unified action.
The poverty and human rights violations we see are in fact a result of years of our collective and repeated lack of respect for human dignity. We need to change our ways, before they kill us.
Mexico will elect a new president in 2012. Facing mounting pressure to change course, Calderon's successor may choose scale back the anti-drug offensive return the country to its pre-2006 days. But that would be a mistake.
Curbing organized violence involves thorny issues that will not be resolved overnight. For the U.S., it means tackling drug treatment and prevention, and halting the flow of guns and cash.
The biggest breakthroughs in consciousness occur when things are difficult; when we have a choice to fall to the worst of ourselves or rise to the best of ourselves.
The beleaguered state of Arizona has just concluded one of the most lopsided elections in state history, in which Republicans captured every statewide...
The reason the position of many liberals against legalized marijuana is hard to rationalize is that it isn't rational. If public usage of marijuana is an issue, the logical way to address it is by regulating public usage.
In Mexico, not a single soldier responsible for human rights crimes has been held accountable in civilian courts since the United States started delivering hundreds of millions of Merida Initiative dollars.
An addict can only really begin to grapple with his problem when he hits rock bottom. This year, the drug prohibitionists hit theirs, as they unleashed the destruction of Mexico.
Despite the Obama administration's rhetoric regarding respect for human rights in Mexico's drug war, its actions have provided little incentive for Mexico to improve its record.

In collaboration with Vans, the night ride out will take you down the darkest streets to show you who and what is waiting for you. In a blink of an eye the streets become yours, the night dew keeping you cool and street lamps leading the way. A swift sound of keeping the rubber side down, sirens in the distance and the forward motion of the nights ride. Didn't you know all the strange things come out at night, are you out?"

While exploring an abandoned reservoir, we jokingly told Marc it would be awesome if he did a track stand on top of the tower. This tower is roughly 30 feet of the ground and the platform is maybe 8′ x 8′. Sounds a little scary? Well, Marc stepped back, looked up and the rest is history. Thanks for not dying Marc!

Kind of. I've been taking a much needed break from the blog, but I haven't stopped riding, shooting, or exploring. There will be more to come in the future. Stay Tuned…

"Deep in the remote wild of New England lies an enigmatic figure, with piercing eyes like the Night's King, to which many names are attributed. Boltar Benedict, Poppi, Juan Cool Romance, Turbo Romance—it's all really beside the point, as it's his message that's truly important. It's a tale told through unbridled, unpretentious adventure. No, he doesn't ride for Insta-likes, he's spearheading a movement of living simply and getting out in nature. And even if you're not daring enough to tromp through the bush to find him, you're still invited along for the ride."
