The genocides in Rwanda and Darfur, and their implications for
youth violence in Boston will be explored in a program presented by
the United States District Court and on Tuesday, June 15, at the
Moakley Courthouse. The Massachusetts Bar Association is proud
to co-sponsor this program which is prompted by Michal Ronan
Safdie's photographic exhibit, "Rwanda: Then, Darfur: Now," which
is on display at the Courthouse. Chief Judge Mark L. Wolf has
written that the "photographs portray the results of human savagery
in countries characterized by a culture of impunity rather than by
the rule of law."
Panelists will include Pastor Gloria White-Hammond, the founder
of My Sister's Keeper, which works to improve the plight of women
who have survived the genocide in Darfur and are now refugees,
Reverend Jeffrey Brown, the Director of the Boston TenPoint
Coalition, which does similar work on behalf of the City's Black
and Latino youth, and Wolf.
Many community and other groups will be available before and
after the formal program to discuss their work and to explain
opportunities to participate in it.
Members of the community and the bar are warmly invited to
attend. R.S.V.Ps are preferred, but not required.
Event partners include:
Former Bush administration officials Andrew H. Card Jr. and John
Yoo will be among more than a dozen judges, attorneys, politicians
and writers participating in Shakespeare and the Law's staged
reading of Henry V on June 15.
The free performance will be followed by a panel discussion of
the law and war, including the role of patriotism, the treatment of
enemy combatants, trials of foreign terrorists, and torture.
The 10th year of the Shakespeare and the Law series
will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Cutler Majestic Theatre at 219
Tremont St. in Boston. The Massachusetts Bar Association is

The Juvenile & Child Welfare
Section Council will host an open meeting with guest speaker Hon.
Gail Garinger on Tuesday, June 22. Garinger was appointed by Gov.
Deval Patrick as The Child Advocate for the commonwealth on April
28, 2008. Before her appointment, she served as a juvenile court
judge for 13 years, and from 2001-08 she was the first justice of
the Middlesex County Division of the Juvenile Court Department.
Prior to becoming a judge, Garinger served as general counsel at
Children's Hospital in Boston. During that time, she also directed
an NIMH-funded research project at The Judge Baker Guidance Center
investigating decision making in the handling of child abuse and
neglect cases.
Attendees at the Massachusetts Bar Association's Fourth Annual
Public Law Conference on June 2 learned about the ramifications of
the commonwealth's changes to the Open Meeting Law and recommended
boundaries for government agencies using social media.
Conference Keynote Speaker Robert Nasdor, director of the Division
of Open Government at the Office of the Attorney General in Boston,
spoke about the Attorney General's Office's interpretation of the
changes to the Open Meeting Law.
The new Open Meeting Law mandates that the chair of an official
body post a publicly accessible meeting notice, along with a list
of all reasonably anticipated topics, at least 48 hours in advance
of the meeting. Conference attendees expressed concern regarding
the specificity of the topics listed, as well as the difficulty of
finding an acceptable public location for the notices. While Nasdor
acknowledged that municipal officials may need clarification on
changes to the Open Meeting Law, small adjustments can help
municipalities meet the new requirements. Nasdor explained that
officials should consider three factors to determine whether a body
must adhere to the open meeting law:
Conference faculty Jessica Weiss, Esq. and Stephanie Zierten,
Esq., both of the Massachusetts Information Technology Division in
Boston, presented a session on "The Use of Social Media by
Government Agencies." Zierten and Weiss reviewed what social media
boundaries government officials should implement to avoid potential
legal problems. For governmental agencies using social media, the
biggest barriers include the Open Meeting Law, public records law
and terms of use on certain Web sites.
Weiss and Zierten also cautioned conference attendees that
employers should clearly list expectations regarding employees' use
of social media.
"Every tweet is a public record," said Weiss. "Social media is a
tool to achieve communications goals - but right now it's very
unclear what the implications are."

So it turns out Sean Parker and Alexandra Lenas's John William Waterhouse wonderland wedding has an ugly side, one more befitting (to mix fantasy series metaphors) the evil, havoc-wreaking Sauron than the classy elven queen Galadriel. The millions of dollars worth of illegal construction for the affair, it turns out, basically trashed an ecologically sensitive area in a redwood forest, which even a second-grade child could warn you against tampering with.
Magical, my ass.
The California Coastal Commission's report, first published by the Atlantic, has details:
"Existing roads and campsites were graded and contoured to create the appearance of ruins. Stone gateways and walls were constructed. Staircases were crafted around existing habitat and redwood trees. An artificial pond was dug and installed. A stone bridge over the pond was constructed. Several elevated platforms were created, some adjacent to Post Creek (Exhibit 9). Over 100 potted trees and plants were partially planted within the existing road beds and campsites, and lighting was installed in the redwood forest."
Incidentally, you know what historians call fake ruins, which were a big fad in the 19th century? Follies.
Apparently the developers responsible for this charming display of nouveau riche geek gaucheness devoted precisely zero energy to mitigating the environmental impacts of this. There were few erosion-control measures to keep dirt out of the nearby creek, which is a habitat for endangered steelhead trout. Those big dumb fake ruins were built around and right up against the redwoods.
Plus, "failure to provide adequate development buffers from redwood trees can negatively impact the underground lignotubers by which redwoods clonally reproduce, thus impeding propagation." It's real bad for the trees, in other words.
The Atlantic is pretty disgusted, noting that, "The old-guard Midwestern transplants like Bob Noyce, Gordon Moore, and Bill Davidow — not to mention a lot of newbie social entrepreneurs — would be ashamed of this kind of grandstanding, and rightly so." But hey, what more can you expect from someone who got famous before he could legally drink by making it really, really easy for teenagers to steal music?
By the way, this is what the site originally looked like:

Europe Awash in Counterfeit Drugsby
Senior EU policy makers are becoming increasingly concerned as further evidence suggests the region is awash with counterfeit medicines.
The illegal drugs frequently contain too much, too little or no active ingredient at all, or they may contain toxic substances, posing a risk to the lives of EU patients.
On Monday (7 December), EU industry commissioner Gunter Verheugen said the extent of the problem is highly alarming.
"The number of counterfeit medicines arriving in Europe ...is constantly growing. The European Commission is extremely worried," he told the German newspaper Die Welt.
"In just two months, the EU seized 34 million fake tablets at customs points in all member countries. This exceeded our worst fears," he added.
The German commissioner insists the EU is stepping up its fight against the counterfeit drugs.
Last December saw the launch of new pharmaceutical legislation designed to improve medical information available to patients and to combat the growing proliferation of illegal medicines.
The commission-proposed measures include recognisable safety features on legally-produced drugs to help distinguish them from fakes, together with measures to better regulate pharmaceutical distributors.
Lifestyle drugs Lifestyle products such as Viagra feature prominently amongst the drugs seized within the EU, but the list also includes antibiotics, cancer treatment and anti-malaria medicines.
An EU report in July suggested a high percentage of the fake medicines come from India, with Mr. Verheugen saying the act of counterfeiting drugs should be treated as a serious crime and punished severely.
"Every faked drug is a potential massacre. Even when a medicine only contains an ineffective substance, this can lead to people dying because they think they are fighting their illness with a real drug," he said.
"I expect the EU will agree in 2010 that a drug's journey from manufacture to sale should be scrutinised carefully. There will also be anti-counterfeit markings on packaging, in particular a barcode and seal, to show clearly if a package has been opened," he said.
EU health ministers meeting in June were broadly receptive to the commission's new proposals to step up regulation in the area. However the European Parliament has criticised the decision not to include internet sales in the plans.
Citing the World Health Organisation, German Liberal MEP Jorgo Chatzimarkakis recently said 80 percent of counterfeit medicines come from the internet and that this poses a significant health risk.
Mr. Chatzimarkakis sits on the parliament's industry committee which is examining the commission proposals.
There is also concern regarding the costs of the increased regulation, with one estimate putting the figure at between €2 billion and €4 billion per year, according to a 2008 study by Europe Economics.

Issue No. 06 - November/December (2010 vol. 36)
pp: 735-736
DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/TSE.2010.104
As 2010 draws to an end, I reflect with some relief that my first year as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering ( TSE) has passed without any adverse consequences. I am also aware of opportunities for further development of the journal in ways that continue to attract the very best software engineering research and that present this research in ways that are accessible and useful to readers. I thank all of you who took the time to write to me during the year with suggestions, comments, and questions.
You may recall that in a previous issue I wrote about the need to recognize authors of high quality papers, and to recognize colleagues who have produced high quality reviews. To this end, in 2011, I would like to introduce a TSE "Best Research Paper" award (selected from papers published in TSE in 2010) and a "Reviewer of the Year" award (for papers reviewed—but not necessarily published—in 2010). I am happy to do much of the groundwork for selecting winners myself, with the help of the journal's editorial board, however, I would very much like to receive your nominations of outstanding candidates for these awards. So please do e-mail me your nominations before 10th January 2011.
Your nominations should provide the reference for the paper you wish to nominate as best paper, including a short statement of why you think the paper deserves recognition in this way. If you would like to nominate a reviewer, then you can do so if you are the author or editor of the paper submitted to TSE in 2010. Again, just send me the details of the paper that was reviewed and indicate which of its reviewers you are nominating. Since reviews are anonymous, I will have access to reviewer identities and performance that I will also take into account, and will take particular care that reviewer identities are not divulged to authors. I contemplated setting some very precise criteria for nomination, however, on reflection I felt that, at least this year, I would leave it to readers to decide. Obviously, for "best research paper," criteria such as novelty, significance, impact, and presentation of the research are important, and for "reviewer of the year," quality and timeliness of feedback are important. My aim is to announce the award winners in the second issue of 2011, so please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com soon!
This particular issue of TSE is a special issue on Search Based Software Engineering, guest edited by Professor Mark Harmen and Dr. Afshin Mansouri. I would like to thank them both for putting together such a rich special issue, which they introduce comprehensively in their guest editorial.
I'd like to conclude with a welcome to three new Associate Editors who have recently joined the TSE Editorial Board. They are Professor Betty Cheng, Dr. Frank Tip, and Professor Murray Woodside. Each has a distinguished record of research and leadership in our community. Their short biographies are provide below.
Finally, for many of you, the end of 2010 marks a holiday season. My best wishes to you all for a happy holiday and for the New Year.
Bashar Nuseibeh
Betty H.C. Cheng received the BS degree from Northwestern University in 1985 and the MS and PhD degrees from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign in 1987 and 1990, respectively, all in computer science. She is a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University. Her research and teaching interests include requirements engineering, automated software engineering, model-driven development, embedded systems development, patterns, adaptive systems, and distributed computing, all in the context of high-assurance systems. Recently, she has embarked on an exciting new area of interdisciplinary research exploring how digital evolution can be harnessed to support the modeling and development of adaptive and autonomic computing systems. She collaborates with industrial partners for both her class projects and research in order to facilitate technology exchange between academia and industry. She was awarded a NASA/JPL Faculty Fellowship to investigate the use of new software engineering techniques for a portion of the shuttle software. Her research has been funded by several US government funding agencies including the National Science Foundation, Office of Naval Research, Army, Air Force, and numerous industrial organizations. She serves on the editorial boards for the Requirements Engineering Journal and Software and Systems Modeling. Each year, she serves on numerous program and organizational committees for international conferences and workshops, including the IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), IEEE Requirements Engineering Conference (RE), and IEEE UML/MoDELS.
Frank Tip received the PhD degree from the University of Amsterdam in 1995. Since then, he has been with IBM Research, where he is currently managing the Program Analysis and Transformation Group. His current research interests include refactoring, test generation and fault localization for Web applications, data-centric synchronization and declarative object identity for object-oriented programming languages, and change impact analysis. He is currently on sabbatical with the Programming Tools Group at the University of Oxford.
Murray Woodside does research in software performance engineering, especially on performance models for software systems. His work includes developing appropriate models, methods for obtaining models from designs and from run-time measurements, and the use of models for capacity planning and to improve software designs and run-time configurations. His contributions include the use of layered queueing models, efficient model solution techniques, performance annotations in software modeling languages (UML), system and design optimization, and statistical parameter estimation by Kalman filters. Earlier work includes the vertex allocation theorem (with S. Tripathi) and many results in autocorrelation of queues and their use for prediction (with B. Pagurek). Since 1970, he has done his research at Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada, where is now a Distinguished Research Professor. He is a fellow of the IEEE and a past chairman of ACM Sigmetrics, and until recently an associate editor of Performance Evaluation.

text: Here's a a decent article about what the Wings have going for them and against them in the playoffs. LINK Nothing groundbreaking or earth shattering, but really not a bad article for those who don't follow the Wings closely. My break down: I think the one thing that Kulfan (the writer) left out as a plus for the Wings is coaching. He touched on it a little, but I think the last year with Dave Lewis as coach, he was more of a player's coach. He trusted that the superstars were going to step it up on their own. Sort of a Marriucci type philosophy. The only problem was... THEY DIDN'T. Babcock has said that no one is going to be allowed to coast this season. He has driven this team hard. Considering how far he took the Ducks a few years ago (when they eliminated the Wings, and were considered not good enough to be there), I think he has a bit of a chip on his shoulder. He will be a driving force behind the bench. He also has shown to have Scottie Bowman type skills at changing lines. He hasn't stayed with any line-up all season. He's plugging players in and out of different lines, and therefore no one has gotten in a comfort zone. The players have played their best for him, without growing complacent, something Lewis couldn't do. As for the injuries, I really think a lot of those injuries are precautionary. If the Wings were still fighting for a playoff spot or whatnot, those guys would be playing. As of now, they've clinched the Western Conference, and it seems smart to rest those guys while they can. I do agree though, as long as everybody gets a few games in before the playoffs start, they should be fine. If they get no game time, then jump head first into the playoffs, they could come out rusty. Goaltending? I really hope Legace is ready. And I hope Osgood is ready too. You can never tell what's going to happen with goalie streaks and goalie confidence. They could run into a hot team with something to prove, and... well, remember when we played Calgary last playoffs? GO WINGS!

The best thing about this here online radio thing is we can pretty much do what we want. So when INFINITY GIRL offered up their new EP, Just Like Lovers, to be debuted on BOSTON ACCENTS, we decided, fuck it, let's play the whole thing beginning to end. So that's what we did. The noisy Cambridge -gazers are at T.T. The Bear's Place tomorrow night on a louder-than-fuck bill with Speedy Ortiz, Soccer Mom, and the New Highway Hymnal, so we invited them up to WFNX to hang out, shoot the shit, and play their EP. This will be the last Infinity Girl show for a very long time, and drummer Sebastian Modak is moving to Africa on a Fulbright scholarship, bassist Mitch Stewart might relocate to New York, and guitarist/vocalist Nolan Eley is eventually bound for California.

The Black Bears are happy with their success so far but they know there is still work to be done.Kaitlynn Stymiest – UMaine Sophomore"Everything is gelling. Our offense is working great. Everyone's really comfortable with each other now and I think that's helped a lot.â€The UMaine field hockey team is having the best start in program history. An 11-1 record and top-10 national ranking. Many members of the team are from Canada but for six Mainers, including Kaitlynn Stymiest of Corinth, representing their state is a strong point of pride."It feels very good. It's a really special opportunity for me personally. It's a lot of hard work but I enjoy being here and being part of this because it's really big.â€The Black Bears are rolling in all parts of the game. So far this year, they have outscored opponents 65-18. Both Stephanie Gardiner and Kelly newton have scored at least 10 goals. Newton is the all-time leader in goals scored for UMaine.Kelly Newton – UMaine Senior"It's always a team effort. I do I guess get the credit at the end because I'm the one tapping the ball in at the end of the play but it starts in the backfield and really should be everyone's recognition.â€Now comes the hardest part of their schedule: Conference play. Right now, there are four teams from America East in the Top 20 nationally. The Black Bears have a long way to go before winning their first conference title."I truly believe that we're going to win our conference. Hopefully, win our regular season and host our conference championship.

- Does Parental Choice Foster Segregated Schools? Insights from the Netherlands
Authors: Helen F. Ladd, Edward B. Fiske, Nienke Ruijs
Year: 2011
- Source: School Choice & School Improvement: What have we learned?
The Netherlands has a long history of parental choice and school autonomy. This paper examines why segregation by educational disadvantage has only recently emerged as a policy issue in the Netherlands. In addition, the authors document the levels and trends of school segregation in Dutch cities. They find segregation levels that are high both absolutely and relative to those in the U.S. cities. Current efforts to limit segregation in Dutch cities inevitably confront the deeply held Dutch value of freedom of education.
This paper is published in a book from the Harvard Education Press.

Water Safety In Jefferson City
Classes Offered To Keep Kids Safe
Jefferson City - Jefferson City pool employees work around the clock to provide a safe environment for area children. They say that steps need to be taken by children and their parents to ensure that the pool stays the safest that it can be.
Memorial Park Aquatic Center manager Craig Wehmeyer said, "As soon as you can, start your kids. We offer a mommy and tot class that even just introduces the mom with the baby in the water."
Wehmeyer believes that if the children are comfortable and confident in the water from an early age, they are less likely to panic if something unexpected happens.
He also says that knowing your child's limits is important. Wehmeyer encourages parents to talk with their children about what is safe and not safe for them to do in the pool waters.

The trip was motivated by the Barcelona Olympics and my friend's (Ivan -Vanja- Mirovski) problems with a MRTV director who canceled his covering the Games. By the time we returned Vanja's heart failed
About this blog
When my people say "It's a Spanish village for me" it means that they do not know a thing about the referred topic. Spain as whole was a "Spanish village" for me and the Games of the XXV Olimpiad was a perfect occasion to straighten that sorrowful record up. I pressed my friend Ivan Vanja Mirovski to make use of his accreditation with the IOC as a reporter and then, irrelevant that he will not be allowed to report, he would see what he wanted and we (our two families) will enjoy some Spain. So, just before leaving for France and Spain I called him and asked if he and Kate, his wife, would join us here so that we drive down in our car. He refused such an arrangement. Weeks latter he fell into an emotional spin-dive and died. Not the trip.

Skin Beauty: Protecting Yourself From Sun Damage
Most people have gotten a sunburn or tan at least once in their lifetime. Even though this seems like a minor injury to the body, over time sun damage can cause serious problems and health issues for individuals. It is possible to take certain precautions to prevent sun damage from happening to individuals and their families. Sun damage is not something to be taken lightly, as it can cause melanoma, dizziness, general fatigue, and other severe damage to the body. The following information and resources are provided to help teach about the dangers of sun damage and what can be done to prevent it.
What is Sun Damage?
Sun damage can also be called photo damage, and it pertains to how much the sun can change both the feel and the look of your skin. Sun damage can cause extrinsic aging, which is a form of aging that is caused from external factors on the body. Extrinsic aging is known as a collective form of aging. This means that the effects of sun damage actually get worse with unprotected and repeated contact with the sun.
What Causes Sun Damage?
Damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays cause sun damage. An undetectable type of radiation from the sun, ultraviolet rays come in two kinds: UVA and UVB. There are key differences between UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays are known to penetrate very deeply into your skin, making them the main source of both early aging as well as skin cancer. On the other hand, UVB rays, only get to the surface of the skin, which makes them the primary source of sunburns.
How Often Am I Exposed To Harmful UV Rays?
People are exposed to injurious UV rays in any manner of activities in which they partake. For instance, sitting next to a window, driving to a job, and even walking to the car are all activities that can bring exposure to injurious UV rays. When exposed to UV rays like this in a daily manner, it is called secondary UV exposure. Secondary UV exposure can happen when you least expect it, such as in the shade and even on cloudy days. Secondary UV exposure can worrisomely increase the weekly average of UV-radiation exposure.
Increasing The Sun's Damaging Effects
Some people are more affected by sun damage than others. People who have already endured any sustained burns are in a demographic that is more susceptible to sun damage than other groups. People who have a higher risk for sun damage should take further precautions. The following illustrates what other aspects can put people in a higher-risk demographic for sun damage.
1. Where You Live: Living near the equator increases the risk of sun damage. The sun is more directly overhead, and, as a result, the UV rays are just that much stronger. People who live on mountain ranges should especially be aware of sun damage. According to research, there is approximately an eight percent to ten percent increase in the intensity of UV rays for every 1000 feet of higher altitude.
2. How Do You Vacation: People who enjoy outdoor activities a lot are at a particular risk for sun damage. The rule with sun damage is that it accumulates over a period of time. Therefore, the longer that people are exposed to UV rays, the more the skin stands a chance of getting damaged. Everyone should keep in mind to apply sun protection each time they venture out of their homes.
3. Your Medication: Some medications create situations of increased sun sensitivity. Antibiotics are an example of a medication that does this. This increased sun sensitivity is known as photosensitivity. Photosensitivity can give people rashes and sunburns, so they should also ask their doctors if their own medications can cause this problem.
4. Genetics: People who are fair-skinned, freckles, or light hair are genetically more susceptible to sun damage. People who fit the aforementioned physical descriptions are at a substantial risk of getting skin cancer and sun damage. A family history of skin cancer is also important to consider. If people know family member that have a history of skin cancer, they are advised to use regular sun protection.
5. Cosmetic Procedures: Sun sensitivity can even be worsened by particular cosmetic procedures. These cosmetic procedures are chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and microdermabrasion. People should consult with their dermatologists before they venture into the sun if they have undergone any of the aforementioned procedures.
Sun Damage Prevention
1. Protect Yourself: Sunscreen use should be a daily routine in most people's schedules. Even on cloudy days, or on days with indirect sunlight, sun damage can still occur and damage one's skin. A sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher is recommended for daily use on skin, and especially on the neck, face, lips, ears, and scalp on bald spots or for thinning hair. Sunscreen should be applied twenty minutes before going outside in order to give it time to absorb into the skin for maximum protection. When outdoors, sunscreen should be reapplied every two to three hours.
2. Take Cover: Seeking out shade on bright sunny days can help prevent overexposure to the sun on bright days. Also, wearing sun protective clothing, loose-fitting long sleeves and pants, sunglasses with UV ray protection, and a wide-brimmed hat can help protect the skin.
3. Avoid the Afternoon Sun: The sun is highest in the sky between the hours of 10 a.m and 4 p.m. therefore the UV rays are strongest during this time. By avoiding the outdoors during these hours, one can help prevent burns and future sun damage. If outdoor work or play becomes necessary during this time, extra caution should be taken to protect from these strong rays.
4. Oppose the Temptation: Although it is tempting to want to tan or lay outdoors in the sun or at a tanning bed without any sun protectant on, both natural and artificial UV rays penetrate into the inner layers of skin. The body's reaction to these UV rays is the production of melanin, the chemical that causes the skin to darken and tan. Having a tan means that the UV rays have entered the inner layer of skin, which indicates sun damage and is unhealthy for the skin and body.
By visiting a dermatologist on a regular basis, one can have their skin examined for abnormalities and changes that can help early detection and prevention of skin cancers. A dermatologist can also help teach a person how to check their own skin on a monthly basis to check for new spots or changes in skin spots, moles, and color. Early detection is key, so taking the time to examine the skin can help a person get the immediate medical care they need if any skin abnormalities or damage occur.
Is Sun Damage Dangerous?
Sun damage is always dangerous. Sun damage does not only increase the damage done to the skin, but it also increases the risk of getting skin cancer down the road. Three usual kinds of skin cancer are melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. Melanoma is an especially serious concern for doctors as it has a high death rate. Melanoma usually begins in or close to a dark spot or mole on the skin; however, melanoma is curable when it is caught and treated early.
Sun Damage Treatment
Sun damage can be treated because there is a range of choices available for its treatment. Both prescription and non-prescription medicine is available for the treatment of sun damage. More serious sun damage is treatable thanks to cosmetic surgery. Dermatologists should be consulted in order to determine the degree of seriousness of the sun damage as well the necessary treatment options. For skin cancers and melanoma detection is critical for treatment to begin to fight the disease.

Feel the contrast as you trek the W Hike through the Patagonian wilderness and explore the urban metropolis of Santiago.

Why we love this trip
Discover two very different sides of Chile – the big-city pusle of soulful Santiago and the adventure-fuelled atmosphere of lakeside Puerto Natales
Argentina's Perito Moreno Glacier must be seen to be believed. This massive, blue-hued natural wonder is one of Patagonia's real crown jewels
Trek past granite pillars, sparkling lakes and gushing waterfalls in Torres del Paine National Park on a four-day camping trip with all your meals taken care of
Finish in Buenos Aires, Argentina's sensational and sultry capital. Stay on and explore its many corners at your leisure, from the star-studded Recoleta cemetery to the tucked-away milongas (tango halls)
Is this trip right for you?
A good level of fitness is required to complete the multiple treks included on this trip. See the 'Physical Rating' section for more information.
Weather in Patagonia can be wild, so it's important to prepare for all elements. Rain, wind and extreme cold are all part of the adventure.

Soft and alcoholic drinks are not provided and there is a limited selection to buy from at the general store. If you'd like fruit, nuts, wine or spirits, you'll need to buy these beforehand and bring them with you. Bathroom facilities are available in the campsite, with communal showers and bathroom separated by gender. You and a fellow traveller will share a tent for these four nights. Sleeping bags are not provided on this trip, but can be hired if you don't have your own (USD40 for the 4 nights).

This a traditional 'W hike', which usually involves staying overnight at Camping Los Cuernos. The space available to set up camp in this area is very limited (particularly on the busy summer months) and the terrain is uncomfortable.

The strictly traditional "W hike" involves an overnight at Camping Los Cuernos.

Polonium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Po and atomic number 84.
A rare and highly radioactive metalloid, polonium is chemically similar to tellurium and bismuth, and it occurs in uranium ores.
Polonium has been studied for possible use in heating spacecraft.
It exists as a number of radio-isotopes.
Weight-for-weight, polonium's toxicity is around 109 times greater than hydrogen cyanide.
The main hazard is its intense radioactivity.
Generally, Po is most lethal when it is ingested.

Blindness & Beyond: José Saramago's Literary Legacy
Have you read Blindness? It was the first I'd ever heard of José Saramago, when a friend lent me the novel some 10 years ago. While Saramago's syntax and writing style were very difficult to adjust to, and at times I despaired I never would, the story was so compelling that I was unable to stop reading, and soon it became fluid and natural. And then became one of my favorite books of all time.
Saramago was a Portuguese writer from humble origins who wrote so well he rose to literature's pinnacle. Blindness is his best-known work, but he wrote dozens of books during his life, many rivaling the power, depth and resonance of that work. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1998, and died in 2010 at the age of 87.
If you haven't read any Saramago, you are in for a treat. Read more about José Saramago and see the selection of books he authored.

ibuildings.com – Building a Continuous Integration Server for PHP with Hudson
Continuous integration (CI) is fast becoming part of the standard development model for creating high quality software, and rightly so. Delivering reliably high quality software is in the best interest of yourself, your manager and your clients. This is not an article about Continuous Integration itself, but will introduce Hudson, a key tool, and may help you to implement your own CI strategy. Last year we also published a tutorial on phpUnderControl, which is another CI tool that you might like to consider.

Frequently Asked Questions:
There are bound to be questions. Please review and email us for further information or to place an order.
1.) Are samples available?
We'll send a complimentary sample pack of up to 4 different tiles of our Modico Ceramic Solid Color Glazes, Ceramic Rift Series Glazes (in 2"x 2" size) or our Beetlekill Pine (size subject to availability). Shipping within the continental USA is included.
For $25, we will send you the full line of current ceramic glaze samples, which includes 15 solid colors and 5 Rift Series tiles. The sample price will go towards your future purchase of 5 sf or more of any tile order through laNeva.
For Art GLASS and Cast Bronze tile, we will send a sample for your approval at the current retail or trade price, which is fully refundable when we receive the sample back in the original condition within 30 days or the purchase price can be applied towards your future purchase of $500+ USD.
2.) I like laNeva Tile but I don't know how to create a design with them.
What should I do?
There are three options: Look at our Blog for pattern and tile combination ideas. You could also review home/kitchen/bath books or magazines for inspiration, or email us for a free design consultation. We will use your measurements and preferences to create three unique design suggestions just for your space- and we'll tweak them until you are completely happy with your new tile design.
3.) I have a certain paint (or glaze color or fabric swatch, etc.) that I'd like to match. Can you do that?
Unfortunately no, we have purposefully limited our ceramic glazes line to the best lead-free colors and textures available. We do this to maintain efficiency and expectations for our design standards and lead time. Custom colors are extremely time consuming and not our focus.
If you have suggestions for a glaze color/hue that we should add to our line in the future, please call, email or fill out our Contact Us form. We love suggestions!
4.) I'd like a unique size and/or shape of tile. Can you do that?
It depends on the shape and your preferred material. Additional sizes are more of a possibility than different shapes, but we're not ruling anything out. Please contact us to discuss your project.
5.) What is the lead time for laNeva Artisan tile?
Since nearly all of our tile is custom made specifically for your project, the lead time depends on the material you are ordering and the quantity of pieces needed.
Here is a list of our standard lead times (from the time your order is confirmed and payment received to the time of shipping):
Ceramic (Handmade and Modico): 4-6 Weeks
Art GLASS: 8-12 Weeks
Beetlekill Pine: 6 Weeks
Cast Bronze: 12 Weeks
Please keep in mind that many specialty tiles ordered from Italy or elsewhere overseas can take 12+ weeks to arrive in the USA. By purchasing from laNeva, you are supporting Artisans in the USA that can send you updates and photos of your order's progress and you are receiving tile made exactly to your specifications!!!
6.) Do you take credit cards?
Absolutely! We accept credit cards and business check if you prefer. We request 50% deposit at time of order and 50% at shipping. No production will be started without deposit.
Our standard is to email an invoice after we review your order. This review of the order prior to payment is an extra step, but with a custom, made-to-order product such as our tile, it can prevent later questions as well as possible additions and exchanges to an existing order. One more step to insure an accurate order that meets everyones expectations.
6.) Are laNeva Custom tiles returnable?
No. We highly suggest purchasing a sample pack or two before ordering to see the inherent variation that is standard with handmade tile. Due to the nature of all handmade tile, the final product may vary slightly from the sample lot.
If your order is above $1500 USD or have an unusually complex design, we will produce a complimentary 6" x 6" strikeoff for your approval prior to production of the full tile order.
7.) Why do custom tiles cost so much more than mass-produced tile?
Handmade tile production is an extremely time consuming and detailed endeavor. We have a traditional artisan process where tile production is not automated. For more details, see our blog post "How is laNeva Tile Produced?" to learn about the specifics of our handmade ceramic production. The beauty and richness of handmade tile just cannot be duplicated by mass-produced tile.
8.) Can I use laNeva custom tiles in conjunction with store-bought tiles?
Absolutely! laNeva makes a great accent piece when paired with mass-produced porcelain tile or stone. Please pay attention to the thickness of both tiles, though. Our handmade ceramic, for example, is 3/8" thick, which in some cases is thicker than store-bought porcelain tile (but is the same thickness as most stone tiles). We also offer over-glazed edges on our ceramics which can create finished sides to our tile and we think the play on thicknesses is a dramatic statement when laNeva is paired with store-bought porcelain tiles.
9.) Do you offer a Designer/Architect/Industry discount?
Yes, we do! Please contact us via email to get the details of our program. Your name, company name, industry affiliation and website address will need to be noted. Thank you for understanding.
10.) We're a dealer interested in selling laNeva Tile in our tile/flooring/architectural/design studio. Who should we contact?
Please send an email to dealers@lanevatile for our showroom packages and a la carte options, or call us at 612-217-1748.
11.) I have more questions for laNeva Tile. How do I contact you?
For further questions about laNeva Artisan Tile options or to contact us about a custom design for your space, please email us at laNeva Designs. For order inquiries or questions, please email laNeva Orders. Alternately, you can reach us by phone at 612-217-1748.

This is a guest post by Danielle Geoffroy, Research Associate on the AD&D team who helps with our customer service and unified communications research.
Do you hear that swooshing sound of a tweet being sent in the middle of a Google Hangout? It's faint, but strong, and it means they're coming. Generation Y—a generation raised entirely in a technology-driven world. This new breed of consumers demands more from companies and government agencies, with particularly high expectations for friction-free customer experiences. They're prepared with knowledge of your company, and your top competitors. In fact, they often have more information about you and your products than your own employees.
This new generation should matter to you, because by 2018, the millennials will surpass the spending power of baby boomers. Remember: there is a dollar value to every positive and negative Yelp review, tweet, and Facebook status they target at you. With so much information at consumer's fingertips, there is some give with the take. People don't want to retain all of the information they receive on a daily basis. Striking a balance between the knowledge of your customers, and the methods deployed by your customer support agents, will lead to an enjoyable service experience, and keep you far away from the dreaded viral video of a support request gone wrong.

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Ice Axe Shaft Only?
Sep 24, 2013 at 6:58 pm #1308031
So, I'm looking for an ice axe substitute. I'm looking for something that I can easily carry and will allow me to perform a self belay. I basically want an ice axe with a shaft and spike, but no adze or pick. This would be easier to carry, a bit lighter, and far less likely to hurt myself. I am hoping it could be light enough for me to carry on many trips, even when I don't expect to use it. If made strong enough, it could perform the other functions of an ice axe (making steps and self arrest) but not as well. Does anyone know of something like this?
The closest I've come is either a really small ice axe, or a whippet, or maybe a really strong pole (with the basket removed). None of these are ideal, but the pole comes the closest. Ideally, the head would be small, and designed to be grabbed from the top (as with an ice axe) unlike a typical pole, which is designed to be grabbed from the side. A place for a leash (or wrist strap) would be good as well. Thanks for any ideas.Sep 24, 2013 at 7:11 pm #2027863

If the ice axe head has no adze, then how can it chop steps?
If an ice axe head has no pick, then it is going to do self arrests very poorly.

A snow shovel handle might do what you're talking about, but honestly it's a bad idea. If you know how to use an ice axe properly you shouldn't have to worry about hurting yourself, and if you don't know how to use an ice axe properly then you have no business on steep snow. There are plenty of places where I have alternated between self belay and low dagger that would have been dangerous without the pick and the ability to self-arrest. The lightest ice axes on the market these days are sub 10 oz, I would recommend getting one of those – and some proper instruction.Sep 24, 2013 at 7:18 pm #2027869
You must have missed the "not as well" part of that sentence. I've done a self arrest with a stick as well as my fist. The first is not recommended, the second is (if you lose your ice axe). A pole can make steps, just not very well. A shaft with a spike would do better. A whippet can do a self belay, just not as well as an ice axe. It can't chops steps very well either (but in a pinch…).Sep 24, 2013 at 7:37 pm #2027873
I appreciate the concern, but I think you are missing the point. I routinely cross steep snow. Not as much as I used to, but I still do. Last year I crossed a trail that was crossed by dozens of people. I saw no one with an ice axe. Everyone carefully crossed with their poles. So did I. But I would have been much safer if I had an ice axe, or something like I described, so I could do a self belay.
I also have been trained to use an ice axe. I own one, but rarely carry it. Despite my training, it is still far more likely that I will damage myself with it then with a pole. There are simply fewer pointy parts. They are also bulky, which leads to my decision to often not carry it. My experience suggests that others feel are the same way (which is why so few had an ice axe on the slope I mentioned above).Sep 24, 2013 at 7:42 pm #2027875

My Camp Corsa Nanotech in 65cm weighs 8.8 oz. I figure maybe half the weight is in the head, and half is in the shaft. If you wanted to leave a useable handle behind, you could cut off maybe half of the material in the head, removing most of the pick and the adze. This is basically what you are describing. By that math this would save you 2.2 oz and dramatically reduce the usefulness of the tool. I think Skurka has a catchy term for that kind of thing.Sep 24, 2013 at 7:47 pm #2027877

@jakedatcLocale: Bristol,RI
could get what ice climbers use for a 3rd tool. has a shorter shaft and no adze. have no idea how well they self arrest though. or get a whippet.. unless you need both poles for your tent.

I should have mentioned that I'm not interested in cutting off parts of an ice axe. It seems like a big waste, as well as a pain in the ass (the medal is really hard — for good reason). I have seen old ice axes that have separate parts — with screws connecting each piece. Unfortunately, they are really heavy.Sep 25, 2013 at 6:10 pm #2028309
…literally an ice ax shaft with no head. Exactly what you're describing. I thought it was crazy. I think you are better off just cutting down a willow or something and using that rather than buying something. Good luck,Sep 25, 2013 at 6:11 pm #2028312
…Sep 25, 2013 at 7:06 pm #2028333
Thanks Will. I'll have to see if there are still some around. Either that or maybe make something (I was hoping it wouldn't come to that).Sep 25, 2013 at 7:09 pm #2028335

@jshefftz1Locale: Western Mass.
Ross, have you ever actually held a CAMP Corsa 50cm ice axe?
I don't see how you could judge it too bulky to pack, too heavy to carry, and/or too prone to self-injury.Sep 25, 2013 at 7:48 pm #2028354

@davecLocale: The West Slope
It'd be easy to buy a length of 6061-T6 alu tube from one of the various online suppliers (mcmaster-carr, online metals, etc) and cut an angled "spike" into one side. Fabbing a t-handle would require more creativity, but JB-weld would be an adequate means of attachment.
A Corsa is 85% of what you're looking for. The adxe is useless for anything but a handrest and digging catholes, and the pick is smaller than any other axe I've seen. If they made it in 80 or 90 cm it'd be a great, light alpenstock.Sep 25, 2013 at 8:31 pm #2028359
Thanks Dave, I appreciate the tips on the medal and the sources. There might be something local (in Seattle) as well. I'm sure I've seen the Corsa, since they are sold at Pro Mountain Sports and Second Ascent, both stores I frequent. I don't remember the adze and pick being tiny, but I guess they are. I am hoping for a straight pole, similar to a hiking pole; that way, it is easy to carry it on the side of my pack (where I often carry my trekking pole as it turns out). Even a small adze and pick would get in the way (although maybe not too much). On the other hand, as you suggest, a bit longer shaft would be nice and carry just fine for me. Thanks for reminding me of alpenstock, by the way — I always forget that word.Sep 25, 2013 at 11:15 pm #2028380

@davidinkenaiLocale: North Woods. Far North.
Our local transfer station has a place for usable stuff to be set aside. Sometimes there are bikes there. Some bikes are steel. Some are 6061-T6 aluminum. That would be a really cheap source of Al tubing AND it would come with a welded T joint at a few spots.
I'll keep an eye out and post or PM if I see something tasty there.
Thrift stores, garage sales, and free-trash-pick-up days are possibly sources of beater aluminum bikes.
Regarding small picks: I imagine this is for late spring, moderate-angle self-arrest. i.e. the snow is very consolidated. So a short pick may be MORE appropriate than a long one.
Regarding short shafts: I like to multipurpose gear and I'm rarely on snow fields so steep that 60 cm is long enough (on the uphill side) as an added support. I like 85-90 cm so it doubles as a hiking pole.Sep 26, 2013 at 12:27 pm #2028574
If you are in SEA maybe ask Seattle Manufacturing company if you can have just an ice axe shaft. They are in ferndale.Sep 26, 2013 at 10:28 pm #2028775

pick and adze (like buying a car with seatbelts but no brakes) maybe the grivel futura could be a compromise.Sep 27, 2013 at 12:43 pm #2028939

@bigmitchLocale: Minneapolis-St. Paul
Although I can't understand what is so heavy with the Camp Corsa for your application, here are some ideas:
Judging from your knowledge of skimo, you must have a lightweight avalanche shovel in your gear bin.
To follow up Andrew's post, just take the shaft and leave the shovel at home.
If the full shaft of your avalanche shovel is too heavy for you (my BD collapsible shaft is about 11 oz), either remove one of the sections or get yourself an old BD snow shovel, circa 1992, like I have, that was never worth anything for shoveling snow.
My old BD tube with the handle weighs only 7 oz.
So you can save yourself about 2-3 ounces over the Camp Corsa, while losing a lot of capability.
When I hold my 11 oz Corsa in one hand and my 7 oz BD Aluminum tube with handle in the other, then ask myself which one I would take for even moderate snow, there is no decision to make.Sep 27, 2013 at 6:13 pm #2029006
Lots of great comments. I appreciate them.
@david — Good stuff. It sure looks like no one sells anything "off the shelf" so I may have to cobble together something (or do without). Your thoughts are appreciated.
@will — I might have to check them out. I rarely go that far north, but I have been to Ferndale — not far from Bellingham, where I used to live.
@richard — Excellent find. I ran across that in my research as well. I don't think they make them anymore. Basically, half way to where I want to go :).
@mitchell — It is more bulk, than weight (although weight too :)). A single pole can be easily carried in the side of my pack. I carry my trekking poles this way all the time. I don't cover the tip or anything (very little danger of poking anyone, really). With an ice axe, there are more points to cover, and carrying it is just a bigger hassle. If a single pole (alpenstock, if you will) approaches the weight of a Corsa, then chances are, it is longer. If it is longer, then it can be used as a trekking pole, or if nothing else, works better for self belay (as David pointed out).
Oh, and I'm afraid I don't own avalanche gear. I simply avoid risky terrain when it is risky. The Northwest is lucky that way, really. Unlike some places (Rockies) our nice weather days are usually very stable. Our unstable days are usually socked in. So, when it is dumping, I ski someplace safe. When it is clear, I ski somewhere pretty. In the Spring (when the snow has stabilized) is where I do most of my ambitious stuff. The trade-off, of course, is that unlike the folks in the Rockies, I rarely ski beautiful powder under blue skis to big peaks. It's usually one or the other (great snow or great views).
All that being said, I really like your shovel idea. That may the best option. If I can find a good second hand shovel, it might work really well.Sep 28, 2013 at 4:04 pm #2029202

This thread is kind of annoying. OP asked a simple question. Didn't ask to have his backcountry skills critiqued.
I'm looking at like ten people parroting variations of "You don't use it like I use it?!" instead of addressing the question.
@OP: best bet is probably to use a good hacksaw and grinder to modify an actual ice axe. Your local body shop might be able to do it.Sep 28, 2013 at 5:29 pm #2029214
Thanks Max. I can't say that I'm surprised. To be fair to everyone who criticized my question, many are looking out for my safety. I understand, and kind of expected it. My main question was whether there was some product out there that I simply missed. It doesn't look like it.Sep 28, 2013 at 7:21 pm #2029229

What about the suluk46 ice tool?Sep 28, 2013 at 7:36 pm #2029231
The Suluk46 is the right type of tool, but the wrong design (for me). It is the right type of tool in that it tries to be "a little something", instead of a certified ice axe. Unfortunately, it is the wrong shape for packing. A straight pole is more what I have in mind.Sep 28, 2013 at 8:05 pm #2029235

You've got to do it yourself (thankyou Berenstein Bears)
An excellent topic. The typical "ice axe" design and dimensions have about as much to do with lightweight backpacking as big leather boots. Make yourself something out of aluminum or a carbon golf shaft and show em whats up.
If you use trekking poles, I would personally just get a whippet and call it good.Oct 15, 2013 at 7:59 am #2034276

How about using a picket???? Or how bout those trekking pole attachments???

It has pulled two communities closer together. It has boosted the Bay's economy.
And for former Mount Maunganui Mayor Noel Pope, the completion of the mammoth Harbour Link one year ago - a project he has poured so much of his life into - has meant he can "die happy".
Today is the first anniversary of the opening of Harbour Link, which with its continous four-lane expressway between Takitimu Drive and Hewletts Rd has halved the travel time between Tauranga and Mount Maunganui.
Four men who had much to reflect on that day, December 18, 2009, this week gathered at Harbour Link's centrepiece - the Chapel St viaduct - to look back on the historic project.
Tauranga Mayor Stuart Crosby helped to officially open the completed network, Mr Pope and former Mount Maunganui Mayor Wayne Moultrie led their councils through crucial talks with their Tauranga counterparts in the 1980s toward the first bridge, while Rod James, the Transport Agency's state highway manager, has this year watched the dramatic changes that have rippled across the city's transport network as a result of the link.
By the time Mr Pope became involved in the 1970s there had already been decades of discussion about a road bridge to straddle the harbour.
As far back as 1920, contractors building the Matapihi railway bridge suggested adding a road bridge for an extra £5000 - but the Tauranga City Council and the Tauranga Borough Council declined the offer.
Further suggestions for a road bridge were made in 1937, 1948 and 1964, the latter setting the ball rolling for a series of proposals and objections.
In the 1970s, the Tauranga City Council and the Mount Maunganui Borough Council joined forces through legislation they had specially sought for bridge building but height requirements still threatened to delay the bridge indefinitely.
Ongoing debate about how much each council should contribute was also a bone of contention, and Mr Pope believed it was the Bay of Plenty Harbour Board's agreement to partner with Tauranga and Mount Maunganui and meet half of any future losses and loan-raising that finally made the bridge viable. Work on the first two-lane bridge, contracted to Fletcher Construction for $13.6 million, kicked off on April 14, 1986, and just under two years later on March 13, 1988, more than 20,000 people streamed across.
But even at that time it was suggested the need to double the bridge's capacity would soon be evident, as was shown by the swelling of traffic volume from 10,000 vehicles each day in 1988 to nearly 30,000 in 2001.
The accepted capacity of 40,000 was reached in 2003, with the bridge just 15 years old - the pressure was on for a duplicate by its 21st anniversary.
Engineers carved what was dubbed Harbour Link into two stages - the first being the four-laning of Hewletts Rd between 2006 and 2007 and the second, the building of the second bridge and the viaduct, starting in July 2007.
The entire $225 million Harbour Link project swallowed the equivalent of 65 rugby fields of hot mix surfacing, 6000 truck loads of concrete and 3500 tonnes of steel.
The feat won the country's top roading award this year, with judges commenting that the partnership between the Transport Agency, Beca and Fletcher Construction was executed excellently, under budget and three months ahead of schedule. They noted how it stood out due to detail in its planning, the way risks were identified and managed and the precision of the operation.
And by the time that award was announced in October, Harbour Link had also been recognised with awards for public relations, health and safety practices, use of concrete and business sustainability.
Mr Crosby said the city was fortunate to have had already a blueprint for Harbour Link in the Strategic Roading Network Plan, instigated by Mr Pope.
Good, strong representation from the Transport Agency saw the speed of decision-making increase dramatically, as did the collaborative Access committee of the agency and the Western Bay's three councils, he said.
"I think it was having people here on the ground who knew what was happening that got things done."
Mr James, who worked on Harbour Link as a consultant before joining the Transport Agency, said the bridge had been "fantastic" for Tauranga.
"On average, the trip between Mount Maunganui and Tauranga now takes eight minutes compared with 16 minutes in 2006.
"Additionally, time taken to travel to the CBD from the Welcome Bay direction on the Hairini corridor has also reduced by 50 per cent."
The travelling time Harbour Link has slashed from city bus routes has also seen some buses waiting at stops for up to 15 minutes, prompting the Bay of Plenty Regional Council to look at cutting two vehicles from its fleet come February.
Priority One chief executive Andrew Coker said although Harbour Link's economic impact on the region over the past year could not be quantified, it was "fairly obvious" it had boosted productivity.
"Harbour Link has played a major part in advancing our productivity. Through easing access for commuters it has increased the desirability of Tauranga for businesses and skilled people."
But for Mr Pope, Harbour Link was a reality that for too many years had been just a vision.
"I could happily die now. I feel lucky that I've lived long enough to see the vision become a reality."
