Excellence in Brick Award-winning Corpus Christi school demonstrates complex but 'fun' brickwork by Jaime Powell
In a once charming neighborhood now in desperate need of a facelift, the construction of an award-winning, new elementary school has ignited a long-awaited neighborhood revitalization. With input from Richter A rchitects, the Corpus Christi Independent School District chose to build the new Oak Park Special Emphasis School campus on Leopard Street, in the heart of one of Corpus Christi's oldest and most established neighborhoods. The Richter team went to work siting the school to create a new gateway and green space entrance into the neighborhood. The school's prime location is within easy walking distance for many of the young students in the neighborhood. "It's not very often that you get to go back into an existing, old part of town and improve it," says firm principal Elizabeth Chu Richter, FAIA. "The investment there is really twice as much as building in a new suburb. You already have history and presence." At a campus where more than 95 percent of the students qualify for free or reduced meals, Richter Architects was determined to create an open and dignified place for teaching and learning. Part of the philosophy was to build with materials of earth tones that would create a neutral backdrop so that student creativity such as artwork could flourish. The D'Hanis brick chosen for the project was fundamental to the design concept. It offered a taste of Hispanic heritage in a city, with a predominantly Hispanic population and much in common with Mexico, which lies 120 miles to the south. "It has a real heritage here," says Elizabeth Chu Richter. "The Hispanic heritage uses a lot of brick and terra cotta." Elizabeth Chu Richter and David Richter, FAIA, played to the idea that the young students could appreciate the qualities of light, form, order, and genuine materials. "Sometimes school designs can be condescending," David Richter says, explaining that Richter Architects approaches school design in

Appearing as twisting tree trunks, columns at Oak Park Elementary's entry canopy illustrate the architects' description of brick as a 'fun' and 'fluid' building material.

2014 Top Prospects
Nicholas Gordon
- SS - 2014 - Windermere, FL - USA
Gordon has finally started to fill out his slender frame and was noticeably stronger across his shoulders and back than the last time we saw him. That made a big difference in the way the ball carried off his bat when he squared it up. He may be the top high school prospect in the country.
Alexis Pantojas
- SS - 2014 - Vega Alta, PR - USA
Pantojas will likely enter the spring as the top Puerto Rican prospect in the minds of most scouts. He has elite level defensive tools and speed and his slashing left handed swing keeps producing hard line drives as he gets stronger.
Milton Ramos
- SS - 2014 - Hiealea, FL - USA
Scouts bore down on Ramos hard all weekend after his strong late summer and fall performances. He ranks with Nicholas Gordon as a pure defender all over the infield but is still waiting for that bit of extra mature muscle to develop to take the next step as a hitter.
Isan Diaz
- SS - 2014 - Springfield, MA - USA
Diaz stood out with the bat as he almost does at national level events. He looked stronger and the ball really jumped off his bat both in batting practice and during the games.
Devon Fisher
- C - 2014 - Portsmouth, VA - USA
Fisher has a strong, mature build and the advanced skills to survive as a catcher in professional baseball, something few high school catchers are able to do. He added a bit to his overall package should he attend Virginia, however, when he topped out at 91 mph with huge life on the mound from a very deceptive tight sidearm release point.
Tristan Rojas
- OF - 2014 - Bronx, NY - USA
Rojas has established a national reputation as a quick twitch athlete with plus speed and the barrel skills to be a high average hitter. He added another page to his resume during batting practice, hitting the most memorable blow of the the drill by driving a ball off the Mack Field backstop deep beyond the left field fence.
Jared McKay
- OF - 2014 - Stone Mountain, GA - USA
McKay is going to be moving up the National rankings and he's going to start getting some professional scouting attention. He has the strength to create lots of bat speed at the plate and his speed (6.42) and arm strength are definite pro level tools.
Ronald Williams
- RHP - 2014 - Miami, FL - USA
Williams is a plus raw athlete who ran 6.7 and threw 94 mph from the outfield. The ball left his hand very easily on the mound and he was consistently in the 89-92 mph range for 3 innings, with a solid change up/curveball combination.
Todd Isaacs Jr
- OF - 2014 - Delray Beach, FL - USA
Isaacs' speed stood out in Jupiter but he'd never run a sixty at a PG event until the World Showcase. His 6.34 run put an exclamation mark on his speed, that's for sure. Isaacs has a nice right handed swing that is under control and produces plenty of gap to gap line drives.
Keegan McGovern
- OF - 2014 - Willacoochee, GA - USA
McGovern's left handed power swing was very impressive. He has the ability to hit the ball deep in the zone and pull and lift the ball with authority and strength. McGovern is also a 6.8 runner despite a strong 6-3/195 build and has a strong throwing arm.
Aidan McDermott
- OF - 2014 - South Plainfield, NJ - USA
This was McDermott's first PG showcase after numerous WWBA/BCS tournaments and he was very impressive with the bat. He generates tons of bat speed from his 6-3/200 build and has the ability to drive the ball out of the park to all fields. He'll get plenty of professional scouting attention back up in New Jersey this spring.
Nelson Jorge Pagan
- SS - 2014 - Patillas, PR - USA
Jorge was one of the top prospects at the Caribbean Showcase and continued to show his all around tools in Fort Myers. He's a legitimate switch-hitter with especially good bat speed and surprising gap power from the left side. Jorge's best position is likely second base but he can play all over the field.
Roberto Gonzalez
- OF - 2014 - Orlando, FL - USA
Gonzalez is a very toolsy athlete with an outstanding combination of speed, arm strength and left handed power/bat speed. How he develops his overall skill set to use those tools in games will determine how high he's drafted.
Trevor (Tj) Martin
- C - 2014 - Overland Park, KS - USA
Martin has lots of tools on both sides of the ball and really showed them well in game competition. He threw out multiple runners trying to steal with accurate, strong throws and swung the bat with authority.
Roy Morales Rivera
- C - 2014 - Lares, PR - USA
Morales impresses with his power potential and raw bat speed at every event he attends. His catching actions are still long but his fundamentals continue to improve after just converting to the position within the last year. Scouts still talk about seeing him more on the mound.
Spencer Levine
- C - 2014 - Miami, FL - USA
Levine is a versatile and talented athlete who can play multiple positions on defense, although his highest ceiling is as a catcher. His strength really stood out at the plate as he consistently overpowered the ball from the right side of the plate.
Ruben Garcia
- SS - 2014 - Port St. Lucie, FL - USA
Garcia is listed as a 6-4/200 primary shortstop but his future might be on the mound. He pitched in the 87-89 mph range with an outstanding change up and promising curveball and really projects well.
Kevin Rivera
- SS - 2014 - Barceloneta, PR - USA
Rivera doesn't do anything flashy or loud on the field but simply does everything very well. He ran a 6.8 sixty, plays shortstop with skill and very good arm strength and hits the ball hard from both sides of the plate.
Derek (DJ) King
- MIF - 2014 - Fort Meade, FL - USA
King is a very athletic 6-2/190 middle infielder with a nice collection of tools/skills and plenty of projection. He hit the ball very well in both games and in batting practice, ran a 7.0 while showing solid arm strength and was even mid-80's with a hard breaking curveball off the mound.
Dash Winningham
- 1B - 2014 - Ocala, FL - USA
There have been a number of big left handed hitting high school first baseman drafted recently and there were pro scouts buzzing about Winningham's bat this weekend. Once scout compared him to the Cardinals Matt Adams.
Brandon Vicens
- OF - 2014 - Miami Lakes, FL - USA
Vicens has a very strong 6-0/190 build and some of the best right handed bat speed at the event. He has a fundamentally sound swing and enough lift to develop some home run power in the future. His 90 mph arm strength gives him the tools for right field.
Nathan Rodriguez
- C - 2014 - Yorba Linda, CA - USA
Rodriguez is coming off a bad ACL injury and came all the way from California to show he'd recovered and we're glad he did. He's a very athletic catcher who plays with energy and has a strong right handed swing.
Michael Arroyo
- C - 2014 - Ponce, PR - USA
Arroyo is very athletic for a catcher, with sub-7.0 speed and the ability to play multiple positions in the field. He shows gap to gap power at the plate from a sound fundamental swing.
Kevin Williams
- OF - 2014 - Kendall, FL - USA
Williams has two tools that stand out in his 6.5 speed and his ability to consistently square the ball up hard from the right side of the plate. He's an aggressive baserunner with instincts and should be a top flight leadoff type at the next level.
Robert White
- RHP - 2014 - Chesapeake, VA - USA
White has the prototypical 6-4/195 projectable right handed pitcher's build and a fastball that was consistently in the 87-89 mph range. His curveball flashed big potential in the mid-70's as well.
Khevin Brewer
- OF - 2014 - Richmond, TX - USA
Brewer looks like he's made some nice swing adjustments since we saw him last to simplify and shorten his approach and to handle top level pitching better. No one has every questioned his strength and bat speed.
Luis Alvarado
- SS - 2014 - Salinas, PR - USA
Alvarado missed the Caribbean Showcase after accidently getting hit in the face by a teammate's practice swing, but showed he was fully recovered. He still needs to add strength to his 6-5/185 frame but his 6.8 speed and huge arm strength attest to his physical tools.
Marco Rivera
- OF - 2014 - Vega Alta, PR - USA
Rivera is a quick twitch tool monster who ran a 6.6 sixty and threw 95 mph from the outfield. He has the raw bat speed to be a high level hitter but will have to continue working on shortening up his big swing.
Duke Stunkel, Jr.
- OF - 2014 - Palm Beach Gardens, FL - USA
Stunkel has intrigued the PG scouting staff for a long time with his smooth and powerful left handed swing and overall power potential. He hit the ball very well in Fort Myers.
Nick Wojtysiak
- LHP - 2014 - Scottsdale, AZ - USA
Wojtysiak has gone from topping out at 82 in May to 86 in mid-summer to reaching 89 mph in Fort Myers. His best pitch, though, is his hard bring 77 mph curveball that is going to over match left handed hitters at the next level.
Octavio Lara Jr
- RHP - 2014 - Bellflower, CA - USA
Lara is a big bodied right hander who will have to work hard to keep his body under control but he was one of the most dominant pitchers at the showcase. He pounded the strike zone with a three-pitch mix that included an 87-90 mph fastball, a potential plus change up and a pretty good curveball. Hitters didn't have much of a chance.
Bruce Steel
- SS - 2014 - Jupiter, FL - USA
Steel is a very good hitter who always seems to hit the ball hard somewhere. When he fills out his 6-2/175 build those line drives are going to increasingly find alleys and fences. He looks like a future second baseman on defense.
Tyler Hasper
- RHP - 2014 - Naperville, IL - USA
Hasper has a strong 6-1/205 build and a reliever's mentality on the mound but has starter's collection of pitches. He pitched in the 87-89 mph range with very good life but threw a hard curveball with tight spin and showed feel for his change up as well.
Evan Mendoza
- RHP - 2014 - Sarasota, FL - USA
Mendoza is a very polished strong bodied right hander who sat easily at 88-90 mph for 3 innings with a well commanded 75 mph curveball and a nice upper 70's change up. He has a couple of delivery adjustments to make but has no problem throwing strikes with all three pitches.
Dane Myers
- 3B - 2014 - Katy, TX - USA
Myers is listed as a primary shortstop but graded out much higher as a pitcher at the showcase. He pitched steadily in the 87-89 mph range with outstanding life from a low effort, athletic delivery. Myers change up was a potential plus pitch with the same type of big life to it.
Jon Rosoff
- SS - 2014 - Durham, NC - USA
Rosoff is a particular favorite of the PG staff, as he's a plus makeup/high energy player who can literally play every position on the field with skill and also switch-hits. Notably, he does not have a college commitment despite top level grades to go with his baseball skills.
Joshua Terry
- OF - 2014 - Bronx, NY - USA
Terry is another athlete whose long term future might be on the mound instead of playing a position. He's a 6-3/190 outfielder with 7.0 speed and a strong outfield arm but was consistently in the upper 80's off the mound, topping out at 89.
Michael Mediavilla
- LHP - 2014 - Hialeah, FL - USA
Mediavilla didn't show the low 90's fastball like he showed at Jupiter in late October but was in the 86-88 mph range with a big breaking curveball from the left side. He looked like he was in very good physical shape and ready for a strong spring.
Stuart Fairchild
- OF - 2014 - Seattle, WA - USA
Fairchild traveled all the way from Seattle, Washington to Fort Myers and had himself a very solid event. He ran a 6.9, showed good outfield arm strength and really swung the bat well from the right side of the plate.
Kevin Lara
- RHP - 2014 - Caguas, PR - USA
Lara threw much better than he did at the Caribbean Showcase in November, showing an improved delivery and a better breaking ball. He is very projectable, with a young 6-3/180 build and a loose arm that produces a consistent upper 80's fastball from a severe downhill angle.
Alex Aristy
- OF - 2014 - Loxahatchee, FL - USA
Aristy looks like he's got stronger in the last couple of months and it showed with good bat speed and hard contact when he got his arms extended. His run (6.8) and throw (89 mph) tools are very good.
Fernando Garcia
- OF - 2014 - Jacksonville, FL - USA
Garcia is an extremely toolsy 6-2/195 outfielder with outstanding speed (6.55) and a strong outfield throwing arm. He has the strength to generate bat speed and power but will have to shorten his swing before he can make consistent hard contact against quality pitching.
Jose Antonio Rodriguez
- SS - 2014 - Naguabo, PR - USA
Rodriguez and fellow countryman Kevin Rivera are very similar players, with polished games and solid overall tool sets. We've seen Rodriguez swing the bat better at a number of past events and are confident he will do so again.
Nicholas Padilla
- RHP - 2014 - Bronx, NY - USA
Padilla is a big bodied right hander from the Bronx with a strong right arm. He pitched in the upper 80's and touched 91 mph with one pitch early while showing a big sweeping curveball.
2015 Top Prospects
Nicholas Shumpert
- SS - 2015 - Lone Tree, CO - USA
Shumpert gave up playing basketball this winter and is now a full-time baseball player. His extra work showed almost every trip to the plate, as he has a shorter, simpler swing to go with his easy plus bat speed.
Juan Hillman
- LHP - 2015 - Haines City, FL - USA
Hillman dominated during his 3 innings, sitting at 87-89 mph from an outstanding downhill angle and throwing to corners like a big leaguer. His curveball and change up flashed plus potential as well. He's a high ceiling talent.
Michael Rivera
- RHP - 2015 - Trujillo Alto, PR - USA
Rivera took a big step forward from the Caribbean Showcase two months ago, bumping his top fastball up from an already impressive 90 mph to a high of 93 mph in Fort Myers, along with showing a tighter breaking ball. He may be the top prospect in the 2015 Puerto Rican class.
Keshawn Lynch
- SS - 2015 - Lake Hamilton, FL - USA
Lynch played on the same team with 2014 defensive standouts Nicholas Gordon and Wilson Ramos and stole much of the attention in game action, making a number of outstanding defensive plays at both second and third base. He's going to keep rising up the prospect lists.
Leo Rodriguez
- C - 2015 - Mount Dora, FL - USA
Rodriguez topped out at 92 mph last weekend at the National Underclass Main Event and was up to 90 at the World. He's a big, strong kid with athleticism and more growing to do.
Tyrone Perry
- 1B - 2015 - Avon Park, FL - USA
Perry is in the middle of basketball season but still came out to compete. He has a surprisingly short swing for a big power hitting left hander and the strength to drive the ball out of the park to all fields.
Juan Javier Echevarria
- RHP - 2015 - Kissimmee, FL - USA
Echevarria showed his big power potential especially well against live pitching and really drove the ball hard from the right side. He profiles as a third baseman at the next level and also threw up to 86 mph off the mound.
Sixto Torres
- LHP - 2015 - Orlando, FL - USA
Torres has a very nice pitcher's build at 6-5/205 and projects to get bigger and stronger. He topped out at 88 mph with a nice collection of off speed pitches, including a 74 mph curveball, a 77 mph change up and a 83 mph cutter.

Apple is rolling right along with the next release in a fast-moving cycle of developer builds. The latest is of OS X 10.7.4 - or "Build 11E52" - which has just been released for testing.
And there's really no immediate fireworks or curious tidbits to report.
Consistent with other recent builds, Apple isn't pointing to any known issues, however, developers are encouraged to dedicate the lion share of their attention to the areas of Graphics, iCal, Mail, Printing, and Time Machine.
For now, great progress is being made as work rapidly brings us closer to the launch of OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, which is set to arrive in "late summer." The short-duration of time between releases speaks to how quickly Apple is working to prepare and finalize the whole enchilada.
Registered Mac devs can get the latest build for testing from Apple's Developer Center website now.

The program honors the legacy of Frank Karel, who established, led and nurtured the field of strategic communications in philanthropy during his 30 years as vice president for communications for the Robert Wood Johnson and Rockefeller Foundations. Karel was dedicated to expanding and diversifying the field of public interest communications; this program will further those goals. The Nonprofit Roundtable of Greater Washington (Roundtable) will select 5 fellows in the first year and up to 15 fellows in the second year and subsequent years for summer fellowships that will typically take place between their third and fourth years in college. Each fellow will receive a $3,000 stipend--$1,500 will be provided through a fund set up by the Roundtable and $1,500 will be matched by the nonprofit organization that accepts and hosts the fellow. At least one fellow will come from the University of Florida, Karel's alma mater and the home of the nation's first chair in public interest communications, in the University's College of Journalism and Communications. Fellows will attend a capstone event at the University of Florida each fall upon completion of their summer fellowship to discuss and present their experiences with fellow students and representatives from sponsoring colleges and universities and from their host institutions.

Scleroderma Foundation Centers with ongoing or new collaborative efforts are eligible to apply as long as the collaboration project used in response to this RFP is: (a) new, and (b) not funded by other sources. The application on behalf of the collaborative centers should be submitted from one primary institution and have a lead principal investigator. Additional principal investigators should be listed as site PI's only. Administration of funds and submission of financial and progress reports are the responsibility of the applying primary institution.
The project cannot overlap with any currently funded Scleroderma Foundation research grant by any of the investigators.
Number of applications: Primary and site Principal Investigators may not submit more than one multi-center Scleroderma collaborative application in any one funding cycle. However, Principal Investigators may apply for regular Scleroderma Foundation research grants on an unrelated project.
Review: Applications will be reviewed by a peer review panel selected by the Scleroderma Foundation. Applications will be scored using standard review criteria including scientific merit, likelihood of success of the collaboration, and potential for advancing research on scleroderma.

great job ... maybe more tapping but you have the right notes

Border police and soldiers discovered a tunnel leading from Mexico to the United States that was the length of six football fields, and at the end of this pathway in San Diego was a warehouse that contained about 20 tons of marijuana. Mexican police were able to find the entrance warehouse which had 10 tons of marijuana. In a sense, finding a tunnel is not a victory, but in reality simply evidence our drug laws and drug counter-actions are not working. OK, they will destroy this tunnel, along with the other 75 that have been found, but tomorow there will be another tunnel, and the day after still another.
When will the American people wake up to the reality one can not stop the use of drugs anymore than we were able in the 1920s to stop consumption of alcohol. We can continue blowing up tunnels or we can begin blowing up laws that do not work. End drug laws, make all drugs legal, tax use of drugs as we tax use of alcohol and have an extra $50 billion a year to use for important things like — developing new industries that create jobs.

Submitted by Bill Quigley on
by Alberto N. Jones
Mainly white Cuban exiles in Miami, Florida, and Union City, New Jersey, who have never been friends of Blacks in either Cuba or the United States, now claim to be champions of racial equality on the island. The author, an Afro-Cuban whose roots go back to Jamaica, apologizes to Black U.S. lawmakers for the antics of the hypocritical Cuban rightwingers. Afro-Cubans, who have the most loyal to all of Cuba's revolutions, need no assistance from "mercenaries" from Miami.
A Sincere and Painful Apology to the U.S. Congressional Black Caucus
by Alberto N Jones
"The CBC has courageously stood by their brothers in Cuba for the past 25 years."
Please allow me to express my disgust and apologize publicly to the United States Congressional Black Caucus on behalf of Cubans in general, Afro-Cubans in particular and especially in the name of those lured to Cuba from the English-speaking Caribbean islands at the turn of the 2oth Century, who were subjected to brutal racism, segregation, exploitation and forced to live in Soweto-type slums across that country.
A common historical experience of abuse, suffering and ignorance, made it easy for most members of the prestigious CBC to side from day one, with the suffering people of Cuba, victims of a 50 year old cruel embargo that have threatened the life, well-being and development of these survivors of the transAtlantic slave trade, like their brothers and sisters in the CBC.
Having failed in every past military, political, terroristic or economic effort to decapitate the Cuban government, ultra-rightwing Cuban-Americans in south Florida in collusion with US-AID, NED, Republican Party Foundation and others, identified an important demographic shift in Cuba during the early 90's in favor a blacks, due to an intensified emigration tendency among Cubans of Hispanic ancestry.
Drastic changes were introduced in all counterrevolutionary groups in the US where blacks had been previously shunned, were now they are being hastily recruited and promoted to leadership positions. Numerous black study groups, foundations, leadership training centers, and religious sects, and bloggers have donated hundreds of computers, and launched CDs, DVDs and books, mostly depicting the severe inequalities to which blacks were subjected by a "white controlled, oppressive Cuban government" – the main thread of this blitzkrieg aimed at dividing the country along racial lines.
"The Afro-Cuban community, unlike those Cubans of Hispanic ancestry, did not have access to friends and family members with remittances."
In Cuba, these aggressive, destabilizing measures were undertaken by people who called themselves independent librarians, independent journalists, anti-abortionists, human rights advocates and every other imaginable malformation, geared to weaken, divide and conquer a nation that had fought, defended and was willing to die for its Independence and sovereignty.
These despicable mercenary activities have been abundantly documented through captured instructions, tape recordings, payment receipts, confessions etc., of a clear command and control structure in the US. The campaign is assisted by a huge, well orchestrated media barrage with multiple resonance boxes across the globe. These mercenaries have convinced thousands of poorly informed citizens of their humanistic goals, unselfish sacrifices and patriotic concerns for the betterment of their people.
The overnight collapse of the Soviet Union and other socialist countries with whom Cuba held most of its trade, the introduction of the Special Period by the Cuban government and the creation of joint ventures, proved to be devastating for the Afro-Cuban community which, unlike those Cubans of Hispanic ancestry, did not have access to a large emigrant community abroad capable of supporting friends and family members with remittances.
Compounding this tragedy, was a concerted effort by Cubans of Hispanic ancestry, to secure most or all employment in the new joint Ventures, corporations and other entities with access to hard currency earnings, further widening the racial/socio-economic gap, severely weakening the moral fiber of the Afro-Cuban community and placing it on the verge of collapse, which can be seen in increased acts of delinquency, inordinate incarceration index, prostitution and hopelessness.
"Young people's goals were expanded to raise awareness and support the anti-apartheid struggle in south Africa."
Hundreds of desperate plea for help from black communities across Cuba, went unheard, ignored or opposed by these neo-humanists, as they flaunted their melanin content, to spread hatred towards their land of birth.
A handful of humanitarian groups in the US and abroad, attempted to respond to this social tragedy, by collecting humanitarian goods for these endangered communities in Cuba, only to be rejected or denounced as "collaborationists" or "apologists" for the Cuban government. Indescribable pain, suffering and deaths were inflicted upon women, children and the elderly. Many resisted, others gave up, some left.
During the early 1980's, I was fortunate to meet some extraordinary, conscientious members of CONVIVIALS, a predominantly eastern Caribbean emigrant organization in Brooklyn, New York, committed to improve the plight of immigrant youths. Young people's goals were expanded to raise awareness and support the anti-apartheid struggle in south Africa, through public speaking, holding marches and vigils in front of the UN and large collections of educational, medical or personal goods, that were sent to the ANC, SWAPO and others fighting for their independence.
With the liberation of most countries in the southern cone of Africa and the death of apartheid, the worsening of the socio-economical situation in Cuba captured our attention, leading to the creation of The Caribbean American Children's Foundation in Florida. Through the Foundation we regularly pleaded for help, and are eternally indebted to hundreds of extremely generous people in the US and elsewhere, whose contributions helped us donate hundreds of thousands of dollars in medicine, medical supplies, educational and sports materials, and aid for the physically challenged and elder, mostly in eastern Cuba.
"The worsening of the socio-economical situation in Cuba captured our attention."
None of the Afro-Cubans who are attempting to earn world prominence by opposing the Cuban government have ever offered an aspirin to our group or others engaged in similar humanitarian endeavors, which makes their purported platform questionable at best.
A myriad of critical problems affecting the Afro-Cuban community in Cuba must be resolved without delay, if that nation is to preserve its soul, its history and its moral motto: With all and for the well-being of all!
All branches of government, national institutions, neighborhoods, professions and hierarchies should reflect the multi-ethnic composition of the country. If the enormously successful women's drive towards equality in the 60's signified "a revolution within the revolution," another drive to correct 500 years of neglect, un-payable debts to the nation's most loyal sons and daughters, cannot be postponed any longer.
Everyone who loves our country, everyone who is enamored with our beautiful history, anyone who is capable of appreciating the enormous achievements of the Afro-Cuban community over the past fifty years, must speak up.
Undeniable facts demonstrate that Afro-Cubans constituted the bulk of the casualties during the wars of independence in 1868-78, 1878-79 and 1895-98. The unsolicited Spanish-American war created an emasculated, pseudo republic, which replicated United States southern racism and segregation. In despair, blacks formed the Independent Party of Color, 3000 of whose members were massacred in 1912.
"The unsolicited Spanish-American war created an emasculated, pseudo republic, which replicated United States southern racism and segregation."
While a majestic monument honors president Jose Miguel Gomez, the mastermind and executioner of this monstrosity, the scene of this crime in Oriente Province is still without a simple cross in memory of the victims. Mariana Grajales, the mother of the Cuban nation and one of the most extraordinary women ever to live in this hemisphere, is barely recognized.
These are the real battles for justice, equality and the future of our nation, that all Cubans and Afro-Cubans especially should be waging, not siding with those who castrated our independence in 1898 or those who enabled this massacre and kept us segregated, impoverished, ignorant until 1959 and today, are shamefully relying on the dark skin of some, willing to sell their intellect and soul to the highest bidder, by attempting to intimidate, blackmail or create a negative political scene against members of the CBC, who have courageously stood by their brothers in Cuba for the past 25 years.
We will not be threatened by letter carriers, book writers, open mike AM Radio Talk Show hosts in Miami, New Jersey or California, or by Cuban-American politicians in State Houses and in the US Congress with their segregationist past here and in Cuba, attempting to silence members of the CBC, with worn out Jim Crow tactics.
No one can tire, rest or give into the comfort of life, until this moral debt to every descendant of the slave trade is fulfilled. Millions of grateful sons and daughters in our region, expect the leadership of the CBC will continue and expand their role in achieving justice for all.
Honorable US Congresswoman Barbara Lee, please convey our Mother's Day wishes of Happiness, Health and Long Life to all females on this last delegation to Cuba and our eternal gratitude to each CBC member, their Aides and everyone else, who has stood up against all odds, with their brothers and sisters in Cuba.
Alberto Jones is an Afro-Cuban of Jamaican ancestry. He is director of the Caribbean American Children's Foundation in Palm Coast, Florida.

Have you got $10,000 weighing down your wallet and want 45 million pixels crammed onto a camera sensor? Then check out the Sigma SD1 below.
Sigma has announced the SD1 will go on sale next month for the eye-wateringly high price of $9,700 – and you don't even get a case for that money. We first got our eyes on the Foveon-based DSLR at Photokina last September and people have been predicting that the SD1 could finally see the Foveon X3 sensor as a real rival to the conventional CMOS and CCD sensors. Foveon sensors stack red, green and blue pixels on top of each other instead of arranging them in patterns on a flat plane. This gives accurate color info for each pixel site. Sigma has uploaded some images to its website which are indeed impressive though you'd expect nothing else from the official Sigma SD1 site.
While the 45 million pixel sensor may be the stand out feature of the SD1, the rest of the camera if not exactly cutting-edge. The ISO only goes up to 6,400, there is an 11-point AF system with two centre cross-type sensors, a 3.0-inch LCD monitor with 460k dot resolution, and dimensions of 145.5 x 112.5 x 80mm. The main criticism of previous Foveon-based cameras has been that while they excel at colour rendition, they lack the total resolution to compete with modern conventional sensors. However the completely new Foveon sensor in the SD1 should finally silence the critics, because it has an equivalent resolution of a massive 46 megapixels, in other words 4,800 x 3,200 pixels (15.36MP) in each of three layers. The sensor is APS-C size, with a crop factor of 1.5x.
While we won't be seeing many Sigma SD1s round the necks of tourists craning their necks to snap a picture of Big Ben, there will surely be a number of professional photographers out there looking to get their hands on this beast – despite the high price.

Washington ? President Barack Obama said on Wednesday he would love for Hillary Clinton to stay on as secretary of state after his hoped for re-election, but that ?despite my begging? she has decided to move on.
?She has done an incredible job. She has logged a lot of miles [kilometres], she has been working so hard,? Obama told viewers on NBC television?s Tonight Show, a popular, late-night comedy programme.
Less than two weeks before the 6 November vote that will determine whether he will win a second term in the White House, Obama heaped praise on Clinton, who four years ago was his bitter rival for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Obama ultimately won the nomination before defeating Republican nominee John McCain in the November 2008 election. Clinton, the former first lady and one-time US senator, has proven to be an invaluable asset to Obama?s administration over the past four years and is viewed as one of its most competent and popular players.
?She has done a great job. I would love for her to stay,? said Obama, adding however that he also understands why she is leaving.

And now we may take breath for a minute or two, praise old katipo, and cut off the pig's ears as a trophy.
The katipo is a small poisonous spider confined to New Zealand.
A great, heavy sow passes close before me, with katipo tearing at her ear.
Then katipo discovers a small family of pigs comfortably stowed away among the dense vegetation of a little marshy hollow.
katipo killed a kiwi in the course of our morning's hunt, and this bird is now being skinned, cut up, and roasted on sticks.

This book represents a culmination of a life of walking with the Lord that has now extended over 30 years. It is a compilation of wisdom and information from meetings I have attended, sermons I have listened to, books I have read, people I have helped and tried to help, mentors who have spoken into my life and of course it is a reflection of the daily building of my relationship with God. I have attempted to take of the best of what I have heard, learned and experienced and provide it in a organized understandable manner. It is my heart desire that anyone who begins to read these pages can glean from the grace I have been afforded. From the person just trying to find a connection with God to the seasoned veteran with years of prayer experience and communication with God, it is my goal that all can find help and understanding from this writing. This is in no way presented to be an exhaustive study of prayer and hearing from God, but more a tapestry of one mans real life experience. Having stood in front of and face to face with thousands of people trying to find God and make a connection with God, I have seen first hand the disappointment that comes from the lack of having a developed prayer life. On the brighter side I have seen thousands of people come out of the struggle in their prayer life to find a better connection with the Lord in their daily living. Of course there is talk of my personal challenges in finding and developing my own prayer life. My struggle to find a daily connection with God, my disappointment and confusion with the people of God who can't or won't deal with their own failures and ultimately finding the courage as a Christian and a Minister to openly admit my struggle. This is a journey worth mentioning in that many of the people I meet have the same challenge. It is my hope that my open discussion of this subject will help you in your personal journey with your faith and success in prayer. David Sutton

DEAR AMY: More than 30 years ago my fundamentalist parents did everything they could to prevent my wife and me from marrying (we were atheists).
My brothers either kept neutral or sided with my parents. My wife would have nothing to do with them after we were married.
My parents are now gone. My brothers have since tried to be nice to my wife, but she resists. I visit my brothers' families by myself.
I understand her position, but I feel she should at least try to be part of the family because they have been more welcoming. I feel she should let bygones be bygones. This is the only bone of contention between my wife and me. -- Want Peace
DEAR PEACE: One of the biggest challenges in family relationships is to grasp (and then truly accept) this reality: You cannot have people's relationships for them.
Sometimes you can influence or mediate between people to broker a sort of peace, but essentially (and unfortunately) the relationship is really controlled and maintained by the opposing parties.
What this means is that your wife can choose not to accept various olive branches extended her way. She can choose not to forgive people who were once cruel to her. She can passively stay in a state of sadness or anger without trying to change.
It may be that your wife simply does not care. Not seeing them is one less unpleasant item on her list.
You can continue to try to encourage your family, and your wife, to come together. You can encourage each party to try harder (for instance, have your family members actually acknowledge what they did and ask for forgiveness? That would be a start).
But here's what you can actually accomplish: very little, besides acceptance.
You need to manage your own anxiety over this. You cannot force her to see people, and she cannot force you to stay away.
DEAR AMY: For the past few years I have been going through what I describe as my "medical mystery tour": The doctors all agree that there is something wrong, but they haven't yet discovered exactly what is causing my medical problems.
One of the symptoms I am experiencing is that I cannot keep on weight. While I have always been on the small and scrappy side, I am currently quite skeletal.
My dilemma is that when people ask about my health and I mention this, I am almost always greeted with some form of "Gee, I wish I had that problem."
I understand that they mean no harm. I don't want to embarrass anyone, so I usually quip something lighthearted and move on to another subject.
This whole thing — my illness and the pressure of trying to get better — is getting exhausting. Can you suggest a way to respond that will put people on notice that I am sick and scared, and even a little insulted? -- Scary Thin
DEAR SCARY: You should realize that people tend to have an extremely complicated way of responding to another's illness. Either they launch into a story about something that happened to them or their sister-in-law's cousin, or they try to joke, dismiss or diminish the reality of what is happening to you. These quips are really expressions of fear. It might help you to realize this.
You can respond very simply and effectively by saying, "No, you really don't want this problem. I assure you."
DEAR AMY: "Helpless" reported that fellow diners were gossiping very loudly and using specific names and situations.
This happened to my husband and me. Our backs were to the obnoxious couple, so with a wink to my honey, I loudly detailed "news" of a disgusting ingrown toenail my elderly uncle had.
The loud gossipers didn't even slow down, so my clever beau interrupted me with an urgently hushed, "Quiet! They're talking about Colleen and Rex! I wanna hear more ..."
And with that, the idiots clammed up! -- Worked For Us
DEAR WORKED: I did this one time too. I told a guy next to me (yelling into his cellphone about specifics about a high-profile government issue) that I had written everything down but just want to check the spelling.
Sadly, I don't think he altered his behavior long term, but it sure felt good.

USC Suits Up For NCAA Tournament At Stanford
Women of Troy take aim at a fifth national championship as NCAA action runs May 8-10 at Avery Aquatic Center.
USC's all-time leading scorer helped the Trojans win their first-ever national championship as a freshman in 1999. She is playing in her third Olympic Games, having played for Hungary in 2004 and 2008 before moving to Italy and marrying an Italian man, and is now competing for Italy in this 2012 Games in London. One of USC's most decorated athletes, Pelle was a four-time All-American and won the 2000 Peter J. Cutino Award as the nation's top collegiate water polo player.
2002: Pelle finished as USC's all-time leading scorer after providing 57 goals in her senior season for a career total of 255... Named to All-America Second Team and All-MPSF First Team.
COACH VAVIC SAYS: "Aniko is one of the fastest players in the nation. She is great on the counterattack. As one of the better defenders on the team, we like to match her up with an opponent's top offensive player. She has a wealth of experience. As a former winner of the Peter J. Cutino Award, we look for her to lead this team."

2000: After recording a team-leading 64 goals as a sophomore in 2000, Pelle earned the Peter J. Cutino Award as the nation's top female water polo player...also earned Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Field Player of the Year and Southern California Regional All-Tournament first team honors...recorded eight goals in three games during the Southern California Regional, including three in USC's 9-7 win over UCLA in the championship match...scored a season-high six goals in USC's 13-7 win over Hawai'i on Feb. 24 at McDonald's Swim Stadium...also played with the Hungarian National Team and participated in the 1999 Fina Cup and 1999 European Championships.
1999: She was USC's top offensive threat as a 1999 freshman, scoring a team-high 52 goals, leading to All-American first team, All-MPSF first team, All-National Championships first team and MPSF Tournament MVP...finished third in balloting for the Peter J. Cutino Award for the top female collegiate water polo player...also named a two-time MPSF Player of the Week (the only player in the conference to receive the honor twice)...once had an eight-game scoring streak (19 goals), scored four goals in a game three times (vs. San Diego State, Long Beach State and Pacific) and had 17 multiple-goal games...scored five goals at the National Championships and had seven goals at the MPSF Championships...was held without a goal in only seven of 32 games (and never in back-to-back games).
PERSONAL: Pelle has played with the Hungarian National Team since 1995, and helped the team to a seventh-place finish at the World Championships and two top-five finishes in the European Championships...also played with the Hungarian Junior National Team...with various club teams, she has placed second twice and third three times at the Hungarian Championships, and was the top scorer in 1998...her brother plays water polo on the men's Hungarian National Team...enjoys watching other sports, listening to music and reading...majoring in business...her sports hero is Kristina Egerszegi, a Hungarian gold-medal winner in swimming...has a 3.44 GPA...made the 1999 AWPCA All-Academic team...birthdate is Sept. 28, 1978.

This is BS, Phil Simms did the Bronco/Giant game
Matt Schaub Pump Fake Fails to Fool Family Dog
HOUSTON – While warming up on the field before his week 2 game against the Tennessee Titans, Texans QB Matt Schaub spent some time playing fetch with his family dog Buster, who, despite Schaub's best efforts, was completely unfooled by the signal caller's pump fake passes, it was reported earlier today.
"Okay boy. Come on Buster. You ready? You reaaaady? And…. go get it!" said the QB, while pantomiming a rapid throwing motion with the Wilson tennis ball in his right hand. But time and time again, Buster failed to be deceived by the simulated toss, and remained seated with his eyes firmly fixed on Schaub's grasp.
"Matt's simply not doing a good job of selling the fake with his eyes,"commented CBS analyst Phil Simms, while breaking down the quarterback's throwing motion with his on-screen telestrator. "He's going to need to look Buster out of his zone if he wants to force that pooch to commit to the deep pass."
"Well, that dog's a veteran," said Schaub of the 12-year old mixed breed pet. "He's pretty savvy at recognizing play-action and it's not easy to get him to bite on a fake. He reminds me a lot of Troy Polamalu, except that Troy has much longer hair and hardly ever tries to hump my leg."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I bought a '76 Bristol 24 this summer, chugged her all the way from Peekskill NY up the Hudson / Champlain Canal / Lake Champlain to Monty's Baywhere she lives now. She sure is solid and took the three foot waves off Cumberland Head like ripples on a pond. Despite a 20 knot head wind, we were fairly dry in the cockpit.
I'm told by the previous owner that she handles very well indeed in New England coastal waters in much larger seas. I find the Bristol very responsive and forgiving. She sails well close to the wind and about the only thing I haven't been able to coax her into is wing and wing. I suspect she's quite capable of the task and that it's the skipper who has the learning to do.
The accomodations are spacious enough. Any 24 ft boat you can stand up in to put on your pants is great. (That was one of my criteria in searching).
I have a question: There is a crackbelow in the arch under the mast. The previous owner said it was there when he bought the boat a few years ago, and that his surveyor assured him that unless it changed for the worse, it was nothing to worry about. I'm thinking I could put in a post, but I'm not sure how best to do this without compromising movement below. Has anyone got any experience with this problem? Any advice will be gratefully considered.
Jack McCann
New Bristol 24 owner
I purchased a 1967 Bristol Corsair 24 a year ago. She is a rock-solid pocket cruiser that loves heavy air. The 2,500lb. skeg keel provides outstanding control while pinching. A lot of boat for the size.
Areas to investigate pre-purchase...Make sure the keel is lead (there is a removal piece a floorboard midship). And check the shroud plates on port and starboard for stress cracks (mine had been replaced with larger ones by the previous owner).
My two cents...hope this helps. Love the boat!
We are checking one out next weekend, and I have inquired about two more within driving distance from us. We will see what we think. Thanks for all the suggestions and information. As always, we are open to more!
I can be reached at:
Thanks again!
|My first mono-haul. 1969 Corsair. I would say this is one of the most sea worthy boats in a 24 and has room to accomodate a nice weekend stay. This boat is built like a tank and is full keel skeg. Watch out for delamination on deck and bulkhead leaks which are dangerous for rigging. The engine well is a nice feature and is great with a 9 hp outboard. This boat is made for Blue water, or at least it is built like one. Good luck.
Non-Bristol recommendations
I just re-read your original question and, given your parameters, might not recommend the Bristol 24.
It's not as pretty as a Sabre, the hull deck joint always needs work. OTOH, if you're less than 5'8", it seems sufficiently roomy as I think all 24s were dinette models, with the galley on the stbd side.
As wonderful as Bristols are, you'll spend a good chunk of time on upgrades.
I might suggest, for the size, that you look at larger trailer sailers like the Precision 23 (easier to get to the cruising grounds you prefer) or the sharply-designed Beneteau 235. It's a bit more costly, but is quick, has a full-cabin design, including the head that has a slide-out chart table, and four bunks.
I wouldn't look at the 24 unless low initial cost was important. Also, as a looker, it doesn't draw the usual number of Bristol compliments.
Bristol 24
This will just add a little. I owned a Bristol 26 and a Bristol 27.
I recall the 24, originally made by Sailstar in Bristol, RI (which Clint Pearson bought out, forming the better-known Bristol company) is much roomier than the Alberg designs (22, 27) but had keel problems as it was encapsulated lead, and not often real lead. The Bristol factory tended to throw in whatever metallic waste was on hand, and then bond it in with resin.
There's several 24 owners on the Sailnet Bristol page (or maybe they've moved to Jazznet) but the Bristol clan, as a whole, are very helpful. Before Sailnet crashed, some five years ago, there were 220 Bristol owners on the page. The leader of the Bristol clan is Massimo, at email@example.com and he can direct you to the 24 owners.
Email me back if you can't find him, and I'll dig up the other addresses.
|Chris, I have a Bristol 24, unfortunately I can't exactly tell about its sailing characteristics since I'm in the process of refurbishing it in preparation to sail, have not actually sailed it yet. In general I expect it to behave as a comfortable cruiser rather than racy, which is what I want. I think it would be perfect for a couple with a small child. It is heavy-ish for 24 ft, almost 6,000 lbs disp. A back issue of Good Old Boat magazine, March-April '03 has a nice Bristol 24 feature article, including design commentary by Ted Brewer. If you can't get hold of a back issue, email me and I will send you a copy of the article.
Bristol 24' Corsair
Hey there,
My wife and I sold our 1975 Sabre 28 MK1 about two seasons ago...new job, new house and a change of lifestyle (baby girl) made it impossible to get to the boat as often as we would have liked and so we parted with our old girl. We may be in the market for another in the near future and actually came across a 1977 Bristol 24' in very nice condition. I am more familiar with the 32' but know very little about the 24'.
Just wanted to ask anyone out there (Bristol Owners in particular) what they think of the 24', what their experiences have been with her, how she sails, handles relative seas, things to watch out for and where the 24 might shine! We loved the Sabre, but 28' may be a bit too much boat for us now and we are looking to downsize and simplify a bit so we can sail more and tinker less!
Thanks for any information you might offer us!
