Karel Appel
One of the star artworks in the Ambassade Hotel Collection is a portrait of Theo Wolvecamp painted by Appel. And the hotel has more work by this Dutch master. Read about this artist below and find out what lies behind the work you see hanging in the hotel.
Karel Appel
Amsterdam 1921- 2006 Zurich
'Appel came across as uncouth at the time. He had a fringe and very long hair, wore an embroidered Russian shirt with a belt and a high collar, which was most unusual in 1947', Henny Riemens, photographer and Corneille's ex-wife, recalled in the documentary Cobra (1948-1951) Painting after the Second World War. Writer Louis Tiessen described him, in the same documentary, as follows: 'Karel really looked like one of his own paintings. Through his choice of colours and his rough explosive character, that's how he spoke too. Very powerful.'
Appel's outward appearance, however, had been quite different just a few years before, as you can clearly see in the self-portraits he made in 1941 or thereabouts. One of these portraits shows him as a respectable, self-confident young man in a suit and bow tie. A lot had changed between 1941 and 1948.
One thing didn't change, and that was his love of portraits. Forty years on, Appel said to Jan Vrijman, 'I'm a born portraitist. I still find it really easy to draw a portrait, quickly or even detailed if you like. I still make portraits. Using other techniques, but I still do it.'
Karel Appel, at that time, had developed into one of the most famous Dutch artists.
Life history
Karel Appel was born into a simple hairdresser's family in the neighbourhood known as Dapperbuurt in Amsterdam in 1921. Early on, when just fourteen, he claims to have started painting Monet-style but with the colours of Van Gogh. He attended the Royal Academy during the Second World War to train to become an artist. The Nazi occupation and the ban on all art considered degenerate (Entartete), such as expressionism, abstract art and cubism, cut him off from all new developments in the arts. Towards the end of the war he fled from Amsterdam to escape the famine ('the Hunger Winter') and went into hiding in Twente.
After liberation, borders opened up again and the young Appel and his friend Corneille, who he had got to know at the Royal Academy, travelled together to Liège and Paris. They absorbed everything it was possible to absorb like a pair of sponges. Appel delved into spiritualism, German philosophers, German expressionism, fauvism, Picasso, ethnographic art and much more besides.
He soon thought that he could pit himself against the artistic heavyweights. In 1947, he wrote to Corneille, 'I'm now making a powerful primitive piece stronger than African art and Picasso. (…) I pushed on through the wall of abstract art and surrealism and suchlike. My work encompasses all...' When he wrote this he was living in tremendous poverty in Amsterdam.
It was around this time that Appel became friends with artists Corneille and Constant and these three young men set up the Dutch Experimental Group. Artists Eugène Brands, Theo Wolvecamp, Anton Rooskens, Jan Nieuwenhuys and T. Hansma joined later on. Appel found a kindred spirit in Theo Wolvecamp, in particular. He too was a penniless buccaneer. Quite by chance they had both gone underground during the war barely 500 metres away from each other. It subsequently created a bond. Theo stayed with Appel when he visited Amsterdam. Wolvecamp was already making paintings mixed with sand and which he called explosion.
On 8 November 1948, in Paris, Appel and artists from Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Brussels set up the international Cobra movement. The group quickly grew as other artists and writers joined. They enjoyed intense collaboration for a while, resulting in various publications and joint artworks. In 1950, the Belgian writer Christian Dotremont published a small Cobra book on Karel Appel.
He characterised Appel in the following words:
'Appel does not suffer from an inferiority complex and his paintings even less. But, be warned, I do not mean that he and his work is pretentious. No, far from it, but they attest to a certain brutality which hardly leaves any room for doubt; he is sure, at least, that Appel exists, that Appel's paintings exist, and that Appel is alive, and that Appel's paintings are created from paint in various colours.'
In 1951 the Cobra movement disintegrated. (See page on Cobra.)
Appel was then already living in Paris, in Rue Santeuil, with a group of artists including Corneille, and he was no longer involved with Cobra. He distanced himself from any political, philosophical and social discussions that took place in the group. His prime concern was to make new discoveries.
Author Simon Vinkenoog got to know Appel in Paris. He wrote the following: 'In Paris, around 1950, I got to know Karel Appel, got to know him better and to value his work, and witnessed the struggle he had to gain recognition, to elevate him to the position he now has. (…) He is a born leading figure, who can never remain in the background. He is a leading figure who transforms material into spirit the minute he lifts a finger and who courteously follows attempts by others to play along; for he is, after all, the only one who really knows how important it is that he lives and works. And he doesn't take the slightest notice of any commentaries by outsiders, mine included.'
One of the most crucial elements from the Cobra movement that Appel continued to use throughout his life was direct expression that evolved out of the material. It spurred him on to paint without a premeditated plan. 'Suddenly an image can appear from nothing', he himself said. This was why, in the 1950s, he started using even more paint. The image then blended more into the background, but it did not, Appel insisted, become abstract.
Some people called him a creative god in a universe of his own making. And animals were very important in that universe. The range included cats, birds, fish as well as strange creatures, such as the bird fish with legs in the Ambassade Hotel Collection.
Appel started painting more portraits again in the 1950s. His friend Hugo Claus, painted in 1952, and Willem Sandberg, director of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and painted in 1953, seem to have rekindled this passion. He went on to portray people who were dear to him or who aroused his curiosity. The series includes his friend Theo Wolvecamp. This portrait is now one of the star pieces in the Ambassade Hotel Collection.
Appel and Wolvecamp stayed close friends right up to the end. Appel visited Wolvecamp when he was in the Netherlands and he read a poem at Wolvecamp's funeral. Appel admired Wolvecamp. Oddly enough, Wolvecamp is readily recognizable in this portrait, which you cannot say of most of Appel's other portraits. Was it made based on a modification? Did he modify a photograph and transpose the changed atmosphere onto canvas? We simply do not know. You can see a few beautiful details in the painting, such as the red lines squeezed straight out of the tube and onto the canvas. This time they are almost tender. 'Painting is a tangible, sensory experience. And being deeply moved by the joy and the tragedy of mankind', is just one of the many quotes by Appel about his discipline.
Appel's international breakthrough happened roughly at the same time as he started painting portraits. In 1957 he travelled to New York in the USA after receiving an invitation from gallery owner Martha Jackson. He made portraits of American Jazz musicians. These were people he admired most of his life and who inspired his work for a long time.
International acclaim gave Appel huge financial freedom. The art trade helped him to paint and to travel across the globe. He accepted being part of the modern jungle that this implied, but said that he only truly existed when working on a canvas. Work by Appel is included in the following collections: Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Stedelijk Museum Schiedam, Cobra Museum in Amstelveen, Van Abbe Museum Eindhoven, Tate Gallery London, Moma New York and many other museums too numerous to mention here.

text: Public Higher Education Network of Massachuestts takes its message to the streets Faculty members, staff, students and alumni organized by the Public Higher Education Network of Massachusetts recently took their fight for more state funding to the streets. Literally. Beginning on Oct. 2, a small, dedicated group of higher ed supporters walked from Berkshire Community College in Pittsfield all the way to the Massachusetts State House in Boston to send the message to legislators that now is the time to reverse the state's disinvestment in its public colleges, state universities and UMass. "We made the decision to walk across the state because we wanted to do something that would really call attention to the serious funding problem and move us toward a dramatic reinvestment in our public colleges and universities," said MTA Executive Committee member Max Page, a UMass professor who marched with the group. "Everyone should have access to high-quality, affordable public higher education." State funding for public higher education has been slashed by 36 percent during the last 10 years when adjusted for inflation. In addition, student enrollment has reached record highs at many of the public higher education institutions while the number of full-time faculty members has dropped. The walkers spent six days on the road and made several stops at organized events along the way.

Economic Slowdown Will Get Worse
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Commerce Department reported the economy grew at a 2.2% annual rate the first quarter of 2012, slower than the 3.0% pace registered the previous period. The consensus forecast was 2.5%, while my forecast was exactly on mark at 2.2%.
GDP growth was powered by much stronger consumer spending -- especially on autos and recreational vehicles -- substantial additions to business inventories and stronger residential construction. Also, business investments in machinery and software contributed a bit too.
Reductions in government spending, nonresidential construction and a slightly widening trade deficit subtracted from growth.
Apple's Doomed? More Than One Person Thinks So >>
The deficits on oil and with China account for nearly the entire $621 billion trade deficit -- nearly 4% of GDP. Cutting these in half, through changes in energy and trade policy, would increase GDP, including multiplier effects, by some $500 billion and create 5 million jobs.
Second-quarter growth will likely slow to about 1.6%, as consumers pull back and investments in new inventories slow. Business investment should not be expected to pick up the slack, stabilizing oil prices will likely boost imports a bit and government spending will stay in neutral or decline in the face of tightening fiscal conditions. Without further reductions in adult labor participation, the unemployment rate is not likely to fall much more.
Over the last several months, households have been running down savings to finance the recent surge in consumer spending and households should be expected to pull back on purchases to rebuild balance sheets.
Improvements in the availability of crude oil and anticipated refinery capacity should help lower gasoline prices to about $3.50 per gallon from their early April $4 high. Consumers used credit cards to cope with higher gasoline prices, and much of the additional disposable income created by lower gasoline prices in May and June will be used to pay down those balances.
Facebook Has No Business Being Compared to Apple, Google and Amazon >>
Households borrowed to finance the recent surge into auto sales and higher education; however debt-financed growth in those sectors should not be expected to continue.
The potential volume of auto sales is likely close to its peak and young people and parents are becoming dis-enamored with colleges and ever-surging tuition. Undergraduate education is too expensive -- some majors and degrees simply don't pay out well as investments -- and borrowing for higher education may soon plateau or decline. Graduate study is often not a good solution for underemployment among recent college graduates.
Inventory investments accounted for some 26% of the 2.2-point increase in first-quarter GDP. Much of this likely was unplanned stock building -- businesses miscalculating future sales rather than correctly anticipating future growth. Hence, in the second quarter, inventory adjustments and a pullback from stock building should occur.

- Title
- Particle/substrate interactions during thermal spraying
- Author(s)
- Wang, D.; Berndt, C. C.
- Abstract
- Thermal spraying has evolved into one of the more generic and valuable material processing techniques and a major means by which protective coatings are deposited. The plasma spray process leads to the formation of a large number of non-equilibrium phases; including amorphous structures which exhibit different material properties than materials manufactured from bulk processes. The high velocity deposition of a wide range of plasma processed materials yields metastable structures. In this work it is intended to relate the processing, structure and property responses of thermal sprayed coatings. Initially a macroscopic picture of the coating structure is presented. The second part of the paper concerns a model for the development of the microstructure of alumina coatings.

Mother: Son's death allowed others to live
SHANNONDALE – Sari Croson has come a long way in the five years since her 21-year-old son, Timmy, died in a motorcycle accident on Interstate 81 near Martinsburg.
Strongly rooted in her faith and surrounded by a loving family, she accepts her late son's fate and is able to talk about it.
She knows his life had meaning and others are better for having been touched by him – especially the dozens of folks who were helped by his organ donation following the fatal accident on April 26, 2008.
While it is always important that folks consider organ donation, Croson is especially eager to spread this message during the month of April, since it is national Donor Awareness Month.
It's a way to honor her own son and keep his memory alive, plus urge others to also pledge to donate their organs, she said.
"In the beginning, we planted a tree in his honor because I had read about planting this kind of garden. I also liked the idea because we wanted to do something that would last and grow the way he would have grown. Each year we've added things like Easter lilies, and there is also a flag out there now," Croson said.
Although his death was a shock, it didn't take long for Croson and her family – including husband Wayne, daughters Elisabeth, Rebecca, Lauren and sons Joshua, Joel, Adam and Caleb -to know that organ donation was the right thing to do, she said.
"In fact, we suggested it. I just felt like Timmy needed to be the answer to some other mother's prayers," Croson said with a smile.
While his major organs could not be donated, it was possible to make a secondary donation which included things such as his eyes, tissue and long bones, she said.
As a result, 44 individuals in 26 states as well as British Columbia in Canada were the recipients of his gifts, Croson said.
Specifically, his donation resulted in 29 bone grafts that were distributed to health care facilities in Illinois, Pennsylvania, California, Texas, Virginia, Ohio, Massachusetts, Oregon, Tennessee, Nebraska, New Jersey, Iowa, Washington, D.C., Kentucky and Vermont.
Two individuals who were blind can now see, including a woman in West Virginia, Croson said, pausing momentarily as her own eyes began to fill with tears.
"It really is amazing to know how many others now have a better quality of life because of how Timmy was able to help them. But that's how he was in life – never met a stranger, always willing to help people – so it's appropriate that would continue for him," she said.

Ultimately, Aaron Rodgers will not return to the football field until Dr. Pat McKenzie says he can.
That's what Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Monday, as the Packers began their preparations for the Dallas Cowboys with backup Matt Flynn set to make his third consecutive start.
It's unclear if McKenzie, the longtime Packers team physician, could be lobbied in any way by an anxious Rodgers, who hasn't played since fracturing his left collarbone against the Chicago Bears on Nov. 4. But McCarthy didn't sound like the decision would be open to debate.
"The way we've always done it, that's with medical clearance," McCarthy said Monday, one day after the Packers got their first victory without Rodgers, a 22-21 triumph over downtrodden Atlanta that snapped an 0-4-1 winless skid. "Obviously, when a player is in a rehab position, there's conversation and obviously all the testing is done. That meeting goes on and ultimately Pat has to clear him. Dr. McKenzie has to clear the player."
Two weeks ago, Rodgers said on his weekly radio show on 540 ESPN and ESPNWisconsin.com that he was hoping he could influence both McCarthy and McKenzie if he feels good and feels the Packers need him. After the victory over the Falcons, the Packers (6-6-1) are a half-game behind the Detroit Lions (7-6) and the Bears (7-6) following Chicago's blowout victory over the Cowboys (7-6) on Monday Night Football.
"I respect their opinion, so I obviously listen to them and take all that into account, but I think we've come to some agreements during my years as a player and a starter where we might not all agree that it's right to play, but we agree that the risk is low enough that if I feel good enough to play, I can play," Rodgers said on Nov. 26. "I think that's kind of the way that we operate. I trust Mike to kind of save me from myself at times, and Doc to be the voice of reason.
"But I know my body better than anybody and it's just a matter of combining the strength, the flexibility, the lack of pain and the low-risk. And when all those align, then I'll be back on the field. .. My decision is based on how I feel and when I'm ready to play, I'll play."
Well, we shall see about that. Rodgers is slated to do his radio show again Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. CST.
McCarthy said the plan with Rodgers is for him to work out for the training staff on Tuesday, then be evaluated Wednesday by McKenzie.
"They're going to do some things tomorrow that they haven't done last week," McCarthy said. "He's still not medically cleared."
Last Tuesday, Rodgers had a CT scan on his collarbone and admitted afterward that he didn't get the news he was hoping for. Although he took part in practice on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, he did so on a limited basis, doing essentially only individual work. Flynn took all the starter's snaps in practice, which it appears he'll do again this week. Flynn certainly will have the game plan crafted for him when the coaches meet on Tuesday.
"We're planning to play the game with Matt. That's the way you have to go about it," McCarthy said. "It's the same way we went last week. Visiting with Aaron (Sunday) about where he is, he has hurdles to go over and medically he's not cleared. So we're planning for Matt Flynn."
After completing 21 of 36 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown to rally the Packers from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to tie the Minnesota Vikings on Nov. 24, Flynn – and the rest of the offense – were horrible on Thanksgiving, when Flynn was just 10 of 20 for 139 yards with a fumble, seven sacks (one for a safety) and an interception in a 40-10 blowout loss at Detroit. On Sunday against the Falcons, though, Flynn was on point, completing 24 of 32 passes for 258 yards with one touchdown, one interception and five sacks for a 95.6 passer rating.
"I think the biggest thing is, the entire offense performed better," offensive coordinator Tom Clements replied when asked what was the difference for Flynn, who got his first full week of practice last week after getting four first-team snaps before the Vikings game and doing essentially jog-through work before the Thanksgiving game.
"I've said a number of times throughout the years that when things go wrong, the quarterback gets an inordinate amount of the blame. When they go well, he gets a lot of the credit. When we played Detroit, we didn't do much of anything. Everyone contributed to that. (Against the Falcons), we performed better and everybody contributed to that.
"If that's how it goes, then the more work a guy gets, hopefully he gets better and gets more familiar with the offense and the offense gets more familiar with him. So we'll see how that plays out."
Clements said the coaches could alter the game plan to accommodate Rodgers if he is cleared later in the week.
"Probably," Clements said with a trace of a smile.
But for that to happen, Rodgers will have to get the good doctor's OK.
"He's progressing," McCarthy said. "I think the biggest thing is strength – strength and comfort. He felt better Friday than he did on Wednesday. Hopefully we'll make the same progress this week."

The quarrel between Advanced Micro Devices and Intel Corp. over potential breach of the cross-licensing agreement between the two companies is heating up. In a recent exchange of opinions AMD said that Intel would love to see AMD going out of business, whereas Intel said that it only wants to ensure that its intellectual property is not shared with third parties.
"I don't agree with the premise that they have to have us and they think they have to have us. I think they would absolutely like us dead. […] In their perfect world, we wouldn't exist. If they had to deal with the government every now and then, that's fine, and they're still extracting monopoly profits from the industry," said AMD general counsel Harry Wolin in an interview with Cnet News.com web-site.
It is widely believed that Intel needs existence of its much smaller rival AMD in order to convince the market and anti-trust authorities that it has rivals to avoid prosecution since nowadays only Intel, AMD and Via Technologies sell x86 microprocessors, which power the vast majority of desktops, laptops and servers. Via Technologies' market share is so negligible that it cannot be seriously considered as a competitor for Intel. AMD claims that Intel does not need such a rival, but Intel denies its intentions to destroy AMD.
"It's nice of them to try to speak for us. AMD has been a competitor for almost 40 years in one form or another. This is not about AMD going away. This is about our rights and AMD's rights under the patent cross-license agreement," said Chuck Mulloy, a spokesperson for Intel.
Earlier this months AMD and its partner Advanced Technology Investment Company established GlobalFoundries, the joint venture that will produce microprocessors for AMD and different chip for others using equipment and technologies inherited from the world's second biggest supplier of x86 chips. Intel believes that by letting GlobalFoundries to produce [x86] chips AMD breaches cross-licensing agreement with the chip giant (this may also mean that GlobalFoundries infringes Intel's patents and also claims that by creating the manufacturing company AMD also disclosed terms of confidential cross-license agreement with Intel.

I have been suffering from muscle stiffness and knee joint pains for last 3 years and the doctors said it is because of deficiency of vitamin d, also it takes time to go in gears after rising from the bed especially feeling lazy but once I am on my toes no problems. I am taking vitamin d tablets once in a week for the last 2 and half years, but no improvement. Can you please suggest me any remedy to eradicate this from the root with no side effects of the treatment. Also I am taking vitamin a, c.
72 male DM2 for 18 yrs, osteoarthritis for last 30 years unable to walk ,poor digestion ,sedentary life style. I will be thankful if you inform the quantity of papaya and banana and it's type that is fully ripe, unripe, semiripe.etc method of consumption.
I have a problem of osteoarthritis and knee problem. Should I opt for knee replacement. Will I do normal work after operation .how long it will work after operation. Can I turn my leg more than 160 degree.
I am having a light numbness in my right leg from last two days. It is not severe at all but when I go for my workout session it creates a bit problem as I have joined boxing for 6 months ago. Now 1 month ago I suffered from lower back muscle sprain. Will it recover it on its own?
Knee pain is a common phenomenon that plagues most of the people irrespective of their age. It can be the outcome of a torn cartilage or a ruptured ligament. Medical complications, such as infections, gout or arthritis (painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints) can also give way to knee pain. Minor knee pain can be eased by self-care remedies such as physical therapy or by putting on knee braces. However, few complications might demand surgical repair. Pain can be managed by the pain management specialists.
Tips to manage knee pain
1. Medications such as naproxen, ibuprofen and acetaminophen can be administered to help remedy knee pain.
2. You can seek relief by massaging your knees with ointments constituting of a number of agents such as capsaicin or lidocaine.
3. Keep away from your usual chores to prevent repetitive strains on the knees, thus, allowing the injury to heal as well as to stay safe from further damage.
4. Applying an ice pack in a towel can ease the inflammation and pain. But do not extend its usage for more than 20 minutes because that might harm the skin and nerves.
5. Compression bandages can inhibit fluid accumulation in the damaged tissues aiding knee alignment stability. Ensure that it is tight enough to render support to your knees without actually obstructing blood circulation.
6. To pacify the swelling, try resting your sore leg on a pillow (the idea here is to keep the affected leg elevated to reduce further pain).
7. Shed off your extra pounds as being overweight increases chances of other disorders such as osteoarthritis.
8. Go for regular work outs to enhance and maintain the flexibility of your muscles as excessively weak or abnormally tight muscles can contribute to injuries. Be smart while choosing your method of exercise based on the condition you are suffering from.

SLUCOR recognizes the demand for graduate education is increasing and many undergraduate students are motivated to begin their graduate studies as early as possible. In response to the changing educational environment, SLUCOR has launched an accelerated option that enables qualified undergraduates from many majors to complete both their bachelors and masters degrees in as little as one additional year.
The MS in Health Outcomes Research and Evaluation Sciences, Accelerated Option prepares students for careers in a wide range of healthcare fields. For students interested in medical school and other doctoral training, it will likely increase the competitiveness of their applications. The accelerated option provides a mechanism for students to begin an analytic research career in the health sciences. Students are trained in cross-disciplinary skills for research design and analysis applicable across many sectors of healthcare.
Curriculum Requirements
The curriculum requirements for the accelerated MS program are identical to those for the traditional MS program. Students pursuing the accelerated option are allowed to complete up to 15 credits of graduate level coursework while completing their undergraduate studies. Upon completion of their undergraduate degree, students apply to the graduate program and are granted advanced standing status based on the amount of MS coursework previously completed. Accelerated students may pursue either the general concentration or the clinical investigation concentration.

The UTEPCollege of Business Administration offers the only AACSB
Accredited business programs in the El Paso border region.
July 16, 2012
By Jenn O'Hanlon
UTEP News Service
This year's Alumni Pick-Nic, held July 14, marked the start of what promises to be a yearly event held simultaneously in various cities across the country.
"We decided that we wanted to get together and celebrate UTEP across the country on the same day," said Margie Adame Brickey, chapter development coordinator for the Office of Alumni Relations.
The University of Texas at El Paso plans to continue the tradition each year, and the Office of Alumni Relations is already busy planning the event for the 2014 Centennial Celebration.
"We anticipate this event being a yearly occurrence with much of our planning concentrating on the Centennial Celebration in 2014," Brickey said. "It would be fantastic to have a service project develop in each community due to this social event."
This year, 20 cities participated by holding their own Alumni Pick-Nic. The largest event was held in El Paso with other cities participating from coast to coast and border to border, including Albuquerque, Dallas, Orlando, Chicago, Austin and Philadelphia. Two picnics were held in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The Office of Alumni Relations helped host a Pick-Nic in Bhutan, where the inspiration for UTEP's building architecture originates. The University maintains many partnerships in Bhutan and the addition of the location for a Pick-Nic seemed only fitting.
"We chose key cities where we know there are high concentrations of UTEP alumni," Brickey said. "We've been so pleased with our hosts in all the cities outside El Paso; they've been so wonderful. It's a great experience to see the alumni be tied to contacts across the country."
After publicizing the event, alumni from many cities and alumni chapters came forward with the desire to host their own events. Each city had a varying number of attendees, all excited to share their Miner pride.
"We just wanted people to show up and enjoy themselves," said Elizabeth Claudio, UTEP Alumni Association coordinator for membership and marketing. "Our goal was to increase the collegiality of the Miner family."
Alumni Relations put together starter baskets for each city's host to bring to the event complete with coolers, Frisbees, UTEP Miner flatware, nametags and various Miner promotional materials.
The College of Business Administration and the College of Engineering planned the event with their own booths for the alumni of their colleges attending the El Paso Pick-Nic. The UTEP women's soccer and volleyball teams were also present to help alumni enjoy the event.
"The Pick-Nic was a success and was only the second major event since the College of Business alumni chapter was established in January," said Krista Snow, Program Coordinator for Alumni and External Affairs for the College of Business. "The event afforded the opportunity for our alumni to get involved with the chapter, obtain updates on our activities and network with other CoBA alumni."
Picnickers snacked on hamburgers and hot dogs while music played and the sun shone. Alumni and their families wore their Miner gear and took plenty of photos and videos. Participants also sang UTEP's fight song, "Miner Fight."
The Pick-Nic helped build alumni camaraderie and strengthen the foundation for future alumni growth as the Miner Nation continues its march toward a Centennial Celebration in 2014. The goal in the future is to make these picnics "can't miss" events.
"We really saw this event as an opportunity to network and build relationships with fellow Miner alumni in the area where they reside," Brickey said. "It was a great success and we hope to see it continue to grow and become a signature event that happens each year, no matter where you are."

Freedom New Mexico
DURANT, Okla. — Struggling along with Southeastern Oklahoma for a half, the Eastern New Mexico University men suddenly found the range in the second half.
Junior guard Tralyn Harden scored 15 of his career-best 26 points in the second half and hit a career-best eight-3 pointers — in 10 attempts — and the Greyhounds shot 76 percent from the field in the final 20 minutes to blow past the Savage Storm 93-68 in a Lone Star Conference men's crossover game on Saturday.
ENMU (5-7) erased a one-point halftime deficit, outscoring the Savage Storm 58-32 in the final 20 minutes. It was the most second-half points for the Hounds since a 59-point outburst in an 89-74 win over West Texas A&M on Feb. 2, 2004 at Greyhound Arena.
Senior guard Victor Reid and junior guard Stefan Mirabal each added 17 points for the Hounds. Sophomore forward Urald King went 9-for-13 from the floor en route to a 23-point, nine-rebound outing for Southeastern, while guards Chris Roussell and Jamell Cormier added 16 and 10 points, respectively.
The Hounds stayed in the game in the first half by shooting 7-of-13 from 3-point range. They blew it open with an 8-for-9 performance from long range in the final 20 minutes.
Southeastern (1-13), which lost its 13th consecutive game, opened a 7-2 lead at the outset before ENMU went on a 19-4 run for a 21-11 advantage. The lead was 33-20 with 5:49 to go in the half, but the Savage Storm closed out the period on a 16-2 run for a 36-35 lead as freshman guard Noel Surles scored the go-ahead bucket with four seconds left.
Mirabal's 3-pointer put ENMU in front for good 47-44 with 16:15 to go and kicked off a 24-7 Hounds run. They opened a 27-point lead in the final minute.
ENMU set season high's in points, field goals (35), field goal percentage (57.4), 3-pointers and 3-point percentage (68.2).

News Releases
/ EQIP Working Lands for Wildlife
Loading Tree...
NRCS has formed a partnership with the Department of Interior's U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) called Working Lands for Wildlife to accelerate wildlife conservation for targeted at-risk or listed species. NRCS is geographically unique; we have a broad delivery system to put conservation on the ground at the local level, across the entire country. With nearly two thirds of all species federally listed as threatened or endangered with populations on private lands, the ability to work with private landowners and target our conservation efforts can have a tremendous impact.
This partnership uses innovative approaches with farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to restore and protect priority habitat areas for seven specific wildlife species to include: New England cottontail, bog turtle, golden-winged warbler, gopher tortoise, greater sage-grouse, lesser prairie-chicken and the Southwestern willow flycatcher. This approach is a paradigm shift for the agency where we will look at species specific conservation on a broad scale.
Working Lands for Wildlife has three primary goals:
The Working Lands for Wildlife (WLFW) initiative is established through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), and the EQIP eligibility requirements apply. Working Lands for Wildlife will provide financial and technical support to increase conservation efforts and share the cost of conservation practices with landowners in the areas known to support one or more of the selected species. WLFW Applications within the defined habitat focal areas will receive highest consideration. Producers and landowners can enroll in WLFW on a continuous basis at their local NRCS office.
The bog turtle, American's smallest turtle, is federally listed as Threatened under the Endangered Species. Bog turtles depend upon a habitat mosaic of open, sunny, spring fed wetlands and scattered dry areas, and can be an indicator of water quality and wetland function. The greatest threats to bog turtles include habitat degradation and fragmentation from land conversion, habitat succession due to invasive exotic and native plants, and illegal trade and collecting.
Private landowners own the majority of remaining bog turtle habitat; good livestock grazing management has helped to conserve bog turtle habitat, demonstrating the important role that agriculture can play in conservation.
The Golden Winged Warbler has undergone a significant population declines in the Appalachian region. Golden-winged warblers (GWW) and many other species depend upon shrubby, early successional habitats including forest clear-cuts, alder swamps, areas harvested for timber, and utility rights-of way.
The Appalachian region offers a tremendous opportunity to improve habitat for golden-winged warbler and other neotropical migratory birds. The vast forested lands, grasslands and forb-rich areas provide structurally diverse vegetation for breeding and foraging, and offer the greatest opportunity to combat declines in the golden-winged warbler.
Working Lands for Wildlife will assist private land owners create and maintain the habitat necessary to sustain breeding populations within and adjacent to their current range.
EQIP applications can be submitted anytime during the year. EQIP has a continuous sign-up with application cut-off dates to rank and prioritize any new or unfunded applications. A signed application can be filed with the local NRCS office at any time. View Current Funding Opportunities for current application periods. A signed application indicates an interest in developing a conservation plan, the first step in the application process.
EQIP is a competitive program that uses an evaluation and ranking process to assess the needs and cost effectiveness of implementing the conservation plan. Applications are grouped for competitive ranking into "funding pools" with the highest ranked applications in each pool selected for contract development. Funding pools that NRCS has established have been cropland, irrigated cropland, livestock, and forestland. View the application documents page for more information on ranking tools.
Contract offers that include practices to address soil quality, soil erosion, water quality, reduced animal waste production and reduced energy consumption are high priority.
Visit Opportunities for Historically Underserved Producers in New Jersey to learn more about how NRCS is committed to ensuring that its programs and services are accessible to all our customers, fairly and equitably, with emphasis on reaching the under served and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers, and tribes of our state.

Syrian opposition officials takes seat at Arab summitBy BRIAN MURPHY
THe Associated Press | March 27,2013DOHA, Qatar Syrian opposition representatives took the countrys seat for the first time at an Arab League summit that opened in Qatar on Tuesday, a significant diplomatic boost for the forces fighting President Bashar Assads regime.
In a ceremonious entrance accompanied by applause, a delegation led by Mouaz al-Khatib, the former president of the main opposition alliance the Western-backed Syrian National Coalition took the seats assigned for Syria at the invitation of Qatars emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
Al-Khatib used the forum to call for a greater U.S. role in aiding the rebels and said he had appealed to Secretary of State John Kerry to consider using NATO Patriot anti-missile batteries in Turkey to help defend northern Syria against strikes by Assads forces.
The decision for the opposition to take Syrias seat was made at the recommendation of Arab foreign ministers earlier this week in the Qatari capital, Doha. The Arab League in 2011 suspended the Syrian governments membership in the organization as punishment for the regimes crackdown on opponents.
The Qatari ruler, who chairs the summit, said the Syrian opposition deserves this representation because of the popular legitimacy they have won at home and the broad support they won abroad and the historic role they have assumed in leading the revolution and preparing for building the new Syria.
The diplomatic triumph and Qatars praise, however, could not conceal the disarray within the top ranks of the Syrian opposition.
Besides al-Khatib, the Syrian delegation included Ghassan Hitto, recently elected prime minister of a planned interim government to administer rebel-held areas in Syria, and two prominent opposition figures, George Sabra and Suheir Atassi.
Addressing the gathering, al-Khatib thanked the Arab League for granting the seat to the opposition. It is part of the restoration of legitimacy that the people of Syria have long been robbed of, he said.
He lamented the inaction of several foreign governments, which he did not name, toward the Syrian crisis and spoke emotionally of the suffering of the civilians in his country.
I convey to you the greetings of the orphans, widows, the wounded, the detained and the homeless, al-Khatib told the gathering in an opulent hall in Doha.
He also defended the presence in Syria of foreign jihadis, saying the militants were there to help defend a people under attack but adding that those more needed by their families in their own countries should leave.
Is it the beards or the fact that they are foreigners? he asked, referring to concern in the West and elsewhere that hard-line Islamic fighters are at the forefront of the battle against the Syrian regime.
Why is no one saying anything about the Iranian and Russian advisers and Hezbollah? he asked, a reference to opposition claims that the Syrian regimes main allies are directly involved in the fighting.
Even as rebel fighters gain more territory on the ground in their fight against Assads troops, their mostly exile political leadership has been divided. Al-Khatib announced his resignation on Sunday because of what he described as restrictions on his work and frustration with the level of international aid for the opposition. The coalition rejected the resignation and al-Khatib said he would discuss the issue later and represent the opposition at the Qatar summit in the name of the Syrian people.
Also, Hittos election as the head of the interim government was rejected by the oppositions military office, which said he was not a consensus figure. Some members have accused Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood of imposing their will on the Coalition.
In Damascus, the government on Tuesday blasted the Arab Leagues move to allow the opposition to take its seat at the Doha summit, portraying it as a selling-out of Arab identity to please Israel and the United States.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Nautilus Direct (doing business as Bowflex), of Vancouver, Wash., is voluntarily recalling about 420,000 Bowflex fitness machines to address two safety issues. First, while being used in the incline position, the machine's backboard bench can unexpectedly collapse and break, posing a risk of injury to the user. Second, the "Lat Tower," can rotate forward and fall during use, posing a risk of injury to the user. Nautilus Direct and CPSC have received at least 70 reports of the backboard benches breaking, resulting in at least 59 back, neck and shoulder injuries. Nautilus Direct has received at least 18 reports of the "Lat Tower" rotating forward and falling, resulting in at least 14 back, neck, shoulder, teeth, nose and head injuries, some of which required stitches. The recalled fitness machines are the Bowflex Power Pro XL, XTL and XTLU systems with the "Lat Tower" attachment. The "Lat Tower" attaches to the back of the bench, and has pull-down pulleys attached. The name "Bowflex" and the model name are printed on the front of the machine. The machine has 10 to 14 resistance rods that extend about 48-inches high and a backboard bench that is about 36-inches long. The recalled fitness machines were made in China, Taiwan and the U.S.A. Infomercials and specialized retail stores nationwide sold the fitness machines from January 1995 through December 2003 for between $1,200 and $1,600. Consumers should stop using the backboard bench in the incline position and "Lat Tower" on the fitness machines immediately and contact Nautilus Direct toll-free at (888) 424-3020 anytime to receive a free repair kit that will address both issues. Nautilus is contacting owners of affected machines by direct mail where the name is known to the firm. For more information, consumers can log on to the company's Web site at www.bowflex.com.

As good as it gets
Café Massilia charms and delights with a few minor glitches
By Erica Wayne 05/23/2013
T he home page of Café Massilia (the Roman name for Marseille) includes a heartfelt welcome:
"Bienvenue a Cafe Massilia!" states the restaurant's Web site. "We offer a unique taste of the southern flavors of Provencal France," including "an infusion of Spanish, Italian and Moroccan cuisine with much use of aromatic herbs, spices, sun-drenched vegetables, meats and seafood — mainly abundant along the region of Cote d'Azur. Inspired yet truly unique, this sets the cuisine of the French Riviera apart from mainstream France."
Sounds delicious, but there's more.
"Come and relax in a casual and cozy setting of our restaurant. Celebrate life itself with good food, fine French wines in the company of dear family and good friends," the site beckons. "Our goal at Cafe Massilia is to provide our customers a unique taste of traditional Provence. Together with our chef and our staff, we welcome you and hope that we would be able to provide an enjoyable, and hopefully, the best casual dining experience."
Who can resist such Gallic charm? Not us, nor another couple — good friends, who'd been planning a visit with us to Café Massilia for almost a year before we were finally able to arrange a "play date" for Sunday dinner about a month ago.
Some of the items I'd noted on the Web site really appealed: moules frites (black mussels with garlic fries) prepared Provencal, with garlic, tomato and white wine sauce; truite aux amandes (sautéed trout with butter and almonds); and cuisses de grenouille (frogs' legs sautéed in garlic butter), despite my husband's insistence on conjuring up images of crutches and wheelchairs small enough for amphibian amputees.
However, the restaurant warns that mussels are limited and diners should call in advance before fixating. And the other two entrees I craved were no longer listed. But this was not Café Massilia's fault. The menu changes seasonally and had been revamped just before our visit. After pouting a bit, I succumbed to the considerable charm of the surroundings as we decided on dinner from equally attractive offerings.
Café Massilia's interior is tres intime. The L-shaped dining room can't possibly hold more than 40 in its assortment of cozy booths and tables. The walls are dark black and cherry red, with droll stencils (our table had a black art-nouveau cat with the caption "ooh la la!") and lovely framed photos. The tables were also black, with a slate finish and cherry linen. On the back wall was a mirror stenciled with the Eiffel Tower and the word "bonjour." Soft piano music served as backdrop.
As is often true in Provence, the three-course prix-fixe dinner at Café Massilia is a real bargain, only $23.95 (about $4 cheaper than ordering a la carte). And, even without mussels, trout and frogs' legs, there were plenty of good choices. Among the appetizers, we chose onion soup, escargot (the only item on the menu with a surcharge — $2), oeufs mayonnaise (devilled eggs with homemade mayo, diced tomatoes, mixed greens and vinaigrette) and a plate of heavy-textured homemade pork and chicken liver pate with croutons, cornichons and a couple of pearl onions.
Here's where some confusion began. Three of the starters were fine. The snails were minus shells, but they were floating in plenty of garlic butter for dredging. However, the soup that came to the table wasn't onion but the potage du jour. Almost immediately, our server, who may well have been the proprietor, realized the mistake and hurried to make it right. But when the replacement arrived, the haste showed in the pallid cheese topping — less time under the broiler than the otherwise satisfying soup deserved.
Two of us selected the special poisson du jour, wild yellowtail with diced tomato, potato, onion and Provencal herbs. The third chose chicken breast in a creamy dijonnaise sauce. Most meats come with diner's choice of orange, bordelaise, dijonnaise, black pepper or blue cheese sauces. And the last picked beef filet with a combination of black pepper and blue cheese.
Again, there was confusion. The fish we were delivered was sole amandine. We decided not to mention it, but the server noticed and insisted on an exchange. We're glad, since the presentation was more colorful and the yellowtail delectable. Meanwhile, the meat dishes met with complete satisfaction. One of the high points of the meal was that each platter included a hefty square of classic patates au gratin (scalloped), made with I never want to know how much butter and cream.
To finish, we ordered profiteroles, tarte tatin, madeleine en charlotte, with sour cream, strawberry marmalade, whipped cream and fresh strawberries, and the dessert du jour, described as a French cake with chocolate chips, to be served with chocolate sauce and whipped cream.
Once again, there was a small glitch. The cake had no chocolate sauce. And the tart was less than fabulous (I consider myself a connoisseur since I order it every chance I get), served lukewarm with too little of the caramel which should result from sugar syrup and butter. The winner was the madeleine. If Proust had sampled it, he might never have had to reminisce about those of his youth.
When our bill arrived, it suffered from the same confusion as the service. Instead of a simple addition of four prix-fixe meals a la carte with a surcharge for the snails and the extra costs of beverages, we got a complicated cost for each item, minus a deduction. The figures didn't quite add up, but the difference was tiny, so we didn't quibble.
None of this will keep me from returning. As a matter of fact, Café Massilia's breakfast and brunch menus include enticing crepes and real French toast — baguette slices dipped in a cinnamon-scented milk and egg bath, seared, baked, topped with banana and apple slices, drizzled with maple syrup and dusted with powdered sugar.
Speaking of Proust, it sounds like my long "recherche du pain perdu" may finally be over.

Adieu, Pasadena
After 25 years of serving as both a staff writer and a freelance restaurant columnist, I'm calling it quits. Prolonged health problems, with diet limitations, have called me out.
I feel pride in having worked for a fine newspaper in a famous city. But now to write only about food that tastes like it comes off a tray in a ward is out of the question.
However, writing with high style, Erica Wayne, a colleague with whom I have shared the column for many years, should keep on tickling interest in dining out in Pasadena.
I have plans to convalesce at my home in Eagle Rock, although I hear that Barely Living Gardens has a pool.
Thanks for your time,

fortunately, i am the child of a scientist, so my parents were acutely aware of the overwhelming presence of dihydrogen monoxide in our environment, and they had the forsight to introduce it to my diet in trace amounts from early on. believe it or not, i am now at the point where i can consume it in large quantities without any ill effects.

Is it this that makes you the person you are today?
Should we take this as a dreadful warning?
Or is this the way forward for all right-thinking parents who want an alternative to gentetic alterations to their offspring?
apologies for the use of an emoticon, which seems to be in an unpopular action just now, but I think it is justified in this case!

I was absolutely terrified to read about this dangerous substance, which appears to go unregulated (the page even had a link to the agency I work for, which seems to do nothing about this matter) and which is present in so many aspects of our lives. I was greatly relieved to find, hidden away at the bottom of the home page, the following:

Thanks Max for alerting us to this danger. I did some research locally to find out if my company uses the stuff and what procedures they have in place. I was horrified to find they have a huge open store of the stuff right outside my window, AND they let the local bird population swim on it. That explains the large number of feathers on the grass round this storage facility. Some of my rave-scene friends have told me that if you add some alcohol to this stuff it can give you a buzz, but that sounds dangerous to me.

Laugh if you will, but small quantities of a form of this substance have reportedly exploded with devastating force in at least three continents, and in the Pacific. Hell will freeze over before I go near it.

A bow hunter from Monroe shot a trophy buck Sunday night, only to have the deer's head stolen overnight.
Jameson Smith told News 3 the deer he shot Sunday afternoon was the first big buck he's shot in 17 years of hunting. He said the deer was shot at about 5:30 p.m. on land 6 miles south of Monroe. The deer was found at about 8 p.m.
Smith said he put the deer in the bed of his pickup truck and was going to register it, butcher it, and take it to the taxidermist on Monday.
He said he woke Monday morning before 6 a.m. and found that someone had sawed off the deer's head.
"He was one of the bucks we were after and 5:30 last night he came out. I made a perfect shot on him, got him and everything. I was on top of the world and that all came crashing down this morning," said Smith.
Smith said he has talked to the Department of Natural Resources, the Green County Sheriff's Office and has put pictures on social media hoping to find the deer head.
The DNR said it is involved in the case.
