Eye To Eyebeam: A Conversation With Beatriz da Costa
Beatriz da Costa's multidisciplinary projects are bioart with a heart, installations, videos, and performances that artfully merge biotechnology and social issues. Many of her projects entail the idea and practice of "public amateurism," in which artists conduct science research based on hobbyism and DIY interest as a form of active social participation. Over many years Beatriz has produced cross-species projects in which microbes, pigeons, and genetically modified crops have played a key role. In the Life Garden, an installation from her latest series The Costs of Life, she blends medical research related to cancer with her personal experiences to create a greenhouse filled with plants that are medicinal for treating cancer. Beatriz generously answered a few questions proposed by intern Katherine DiPierro about her engaging interdisciplinary work.
Katherine DiPierro: "The Cost of Life" is your current project series, in which you explore the economical, ethical, and emotional costs of staying alive through videos and new media. I'd like to know more about your latest project in the series, "The Life Garden."
Beatriz da Costa: The Life Garden, is an indoor medicinal demonstration garden consisting of plants, herbs and mushrooms that have shown anti-cancer properties in in vitro, animal and/or human studies. It is meant to serve as a vehicle for the visceral experience of the living environment and inspire discussion of herbal and plant based cancer treatment among visitors.
KD: In addition to being a resident at Eyebeam, you've held workshops here in the past as a member and co-founder of the group Preemptive Media. Could you tell me more about a few of Preemptive Media's projects?
BdC: I have also offered Tactical Gizmology workshops even prior to that (with Critical Art Ensemble), but I think that both those workshops as well as earlier Preemptive Media collaborations were such a long time ago, that maybe we shouldn't go into too much detail here. The Preemptive Media workshop, was directly linked to "AIR," a project commissioned by Eyebeam and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. AIR was a public experiment during which we invited participants to use our portable air monitoring devices to investigate their neighborhoods and urban environments for evidence of pollution and fossil fuel burning hotspots. The workshop at Eyebeam involved discussions about public data gathering and test-runs of our devices (the technical design of those was rather complex, to say the least). We also conducted workshops at Eyebeam related to even earlier work, but for those it might be easiest to simply check-out Preemptive Media's website.
KD: You're also a professor at the University of California, Irvine, and many of your installations and video projects hold elements of the scientific research. How have your roles as a professor, artist, and activist connected over the course of your career?
BdC: Thats a very interesting question. Actually its been a thread throughout my work until very recently. I think being linked to knowledge institutions such as universities puts artists in a rather unique role. We have (if we are so inclined) access to expertise in all kinds of areas that wouldn't be so easy to get to as an artist working outside the academy. I always felt that access to be a kind of political responsibility, serving as a vehicle, if you will, between between the direction as well.
KD: Several of your pieces involve the interspecies interactions, from genetically modified plants and animals to plants and animals on the verge of extinction. What inspired you to investigate this topic?
BdC: I guess its just an interest in the role of our relationships with the non-human living world, and its influence in the development of our values and ethical beliefs towards the planet as a whole.
Thanks so much for the interview, Beatriz! For the latest news on Beatriz da Costa's work, be sure to check out her personal site.

tolujit X NUMBER 12 THE PINg RIVER JQCRA'AL, PINE iiiVKK, CASS CO UNIT, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY, JUNE 27, 1947 SUB: $2.00 Pine River .and Vicinity—S2.50 Elsewhere Out of the. by C. M. A. From time to time, one often hears Ithe expression used in regard to this Tpart of the country,- and especially ■northern Jlinnesota—^"Wouldn't mind lliving here if it wasn't for the long Icold. winters,"' and 'ive must admit ■that some years the 'winters are a bit iniore rigorous than usual. On the ■whole, however, the' winter season [here is not of the arctic variety and loft times is surprising by the gentle- Jness of its approach and the mildness flof its duration. * * * * To offset the so-called long, cold [■winters, we have a climate, which jjjLuring the other three seasons of the ■ year, is par excellent", and the proof, I if needed, may be found in the in- I creasing number of tourists who I spend their vacation periods yearly |in northern Minnesota. Granted that we do have a tough winter every four or five years; at [least proper preparations are made | for such occurrences long before tlie actual need arises, and being forewarned is to be forearmed against any emergency which may develop. * * * * Situated as we are here, close to the continental divide, we are -practically immune to the danger of the flash-floods which beset so many communities farther south, which may •have a milder winter. . » * * Imagine living in a land where, .without warning, a ten or t Iwe-lve- Itoot wall of water suddenly appears, lacing with irresistable fury along a stream bed, .which but an hour before was dry. Lives are endangered and often lost. Crops are spoiled and the land inundated, making further tillage an impossibility. Every year, in various parts of the country, these per- [yverse acts of nature are commonplace —but not in northern Jlinnesota. * a;: « « Consider for a moment, the rarity of tornadoes here, but look around at communities less fortunate than our own. which have been ravaged not once, but several times by these twisting winds of fate, jigainst wliich there is no defense. * * * * The examples are endless. Every community is subject to the whims of Mother Nature, -and when she is suffering- one of her dyspeptic attacks, the consequences are apt to be fear- sunn' and appalling. :!: . tf * The fact that we are fortunate enough to abide in northern Jlinnesota where,.. on<-e in a while the winters arc a Bit cool; while other vicinities wage a constant hattie with climatic jjfonditlons, should give us cause for rejoicing. At least, winter can be prepared for ahead of time. There is no recourse, ether than the grim task Or rebuilding the work of a lifetime, which every day is being destroyed in /other communities by flash-floods, whirling winds and eccentric elements. * * * * Winter is not so tough! GREAT SCRAMBLE IS ON IN GREAT EGG DERBY Park Rapids.—Entries get fewer but more formidable in the Park Rapids Enterprise annual egg derby. Largest of sixteen entries this year was the product on the Roy JIadsen farm, 7xk by 9H in dies, weighing six ounces. Second place was taken by another white rock egg 7% by 8% inches, weighing 5M ounces. Four other entries weighed in at five-ounces each. LOOK WHO LICENSES FORTUNE TELLERS Duluth.—The first application in 15 years recently was made to the city council for a license to practice phrenology—character reading and fortune telling by the shape of the 'head. The application was accompanied by a surety bond in the amount of $1,000 and a check in the amount of $250.00 to cover the annual license fee. The most important news angle to all, is thai the matter was referred to the Safety Commissioner. GROUP FOR STUDY OF CONSERVATION NAMED Gov. Youngdahl is anxious to see whether propagation of game fish and other conservation services of the. state can he improved and has appointed an advisory committee made up of men with special knowledge of conservation and indicated that he would ask the committee to make a study from time to time of conservation problems and effectiveness of measures 'being taken by the state to meet them. HERE AND THERE WITH OLD MOTHER NATURE While a family of wrens is being reared in a specially built home in a Northfield yard, robin eggs are being hatched in a nest between the wren house and the tree, a duplex arrangement typical of the general housing shortage.' A gloxinia plant at Bemidji. attracts wide attention with its prolusion of 45 blossoms. Bobby the Duck and Jlickey the Bull Terrier, are inseparable companions in a Jlinneapoiis home. . Ted Hill left Monday for Jlinneapoiis, where he attended a meeting at the HallHardware Co. THE LOST IS FOUND Two tobacco pipes carved from a Stone hy Indians, were unearthed fey Ralph Olson while discing in a field near Pipestone. Repairing a driveway in a Houston cemetery, Harry Wilcox found an Elgin watch dated February 19, 1-SS4, on an old-fashioned chain, Iboth in excellent shape. In 1918, Frank Bruggeman brought back as a world war souvenir, a wrist watch, hand made from a German coin, which he later lost on a farm near Oklee. This spring another farmer picked up the engraved band, still Dright and legible. Jlrs. >,illiani Thake took home a carton .found on the highway and discovered a bridal outfit with the marriage certificate which made the package easily returnable to a. delighted young couple who 'had: lost it. At Heron Lake, a building con- traitor borrowed his wife's spectacles to read the want ads—and found his own lost glasses. Local Items Mr. and Jlrs. Arthur Zigmund and Jliss Martha Datzman were Brainerd, visitors Wednesday afternoon. Mr. and Jlrs. Hilbert Schwartz and family and Jlrs. H. J. Schwartz were Thursday evening dinner guests at the lake home of Jir. and Mrs. Marion :Sherwood. Pequot Lakes fo Hold Celebration on The Fourth The Fourth of July will be celebrated in a big way this year at Pequot Lakes, where several civic organizations are sponsoring a program packed full with many entertaining features. A big parade, with over thirty floats entered, will start the (lay at 10:80 a. m., and after lunch, beginning at 1 p. m., a doll-buggy and pet parade wiih be presented, with many ot the little folks vieing for first prize'. The sports events, which will commence at 1 :30, with attractive prizes for the winners of the various races. have several features which should afford the spectators a maximum of thrills as they root for their favorite entry. A ball game in which Pine River will he pitted against the Nisswa nine, will get under way at tlie fairgrounds beginning at 3 o'clock, and should be an interesting contest as these two teams cress 'oats for their second game of the season. The American Legi.ia Post will conduct a bingo game which will he open throughout the day, and in the evening, after the drawing, a huge fireworks display, lasting a full hour, will be touched off at '.) p. m.

Jankowski, company forester. Planting operations were limited by the shortage of available seeillinus. However, about 100,000 pine and spruce trees were obtained and planted in Cass, Cr.ow Wing, Hubbard and Carlton Counties. The planting of seedling trees was done this year entirely by hand on abandoned farm and cut-over land by members of the Forestry Division of the Company. Plans aie being made for the purchase of a planting machine designed to facilitate operations in the future when a greater supply of stock will be available as the result of the Nursery Planting Bill, voted liy the current state legislature. Although Ihe season for planting dosed on June 1, other forms of reforestation are being continued on company lands, several experimental areas are neing set up iu an attempt to determine, the most feasible raetb d of obtaining natural restocking of pine on areas recently cut. Several hundred acres of non-productive land will be scarified with discs to expose mineral soil, followed by the sewing of pine seeds. Other areas are being subjected to partial or selective cutting, whereby mature trees and trees likely to succumb to natural forces are removed periodically, leaving the bulk of the forest to continue growth and to reproduce itself. Because a reforestation program must of necessity be a long-range program of many decades, it should he of special interest to the people in communities supplying timber products to Cloquet and Brainerd. Of utmost importance is the necessity of obtaining the co-operation of the public in preventing forest fires which may wipe out in a few minutes, a forest that has taken fifty years to develop. The reforestation program has heen inaugurated by the Northwest Paper Company to insure perpetual forests on all company-owned lands, suitable for growing timber. The program will supplement the timber supply of the company and will result in the greater beautification of forested lands. Bill Dankers Injured The large. amount of broken glass, which unaccountably lifters the bottom of the local swimming pool, was the cause of Bill Dankers receiving a severe cut on his band last Saturday afternoon when diving into the water from the diving tower. The cut was deep and bled profusely, necessitating a trip to Brainerd, where several stitches were necessary to close the wound. The tower is now closed for diving purposes and everyone is urged to use extreme care when entering or leaving the water, to avoid painful injury, such as the one suffered by Bill. Evidently the glass strewing the bottom of the pool, results from an act of vandalism, and it is too had that the responsible parties cannot be called to account for their senseless deeds. Jir. and Jlrs. \V. McKeown and. Patty of Des Moines, la., arrived Saturday and are spending their vacation at the Horbach cottage on Nor- wav Lake.

Work Starts on West Road In Late July A problem which has long been of interest to many of our citizens, and especially those residing west of Pine River, will he partially solved when work on tbe west road starts the lat- : . par! of .T*dy. Information coming from tbe office of R. A. Dahms, county engineer, who, together with an engineer from the state department, was in Pine River Thursday, looking after final details of tbe preparatory work, is to the effect th.at six-miles of the road between the railroad tracks and the corner by the Axel Xorman farm, will be surfaced with black-top this summer. Contract for the work will be let as soon as possible, and present plans call for the project to be under way by July 22. Further information indicates that the road will be in the federal aid category hereafter, and will continue to enter I'ine River, in regard to the railroad, at the present crossing ate. This should solve in part, at least, some of tbe troublesome problems suffered by our neighbors to the west, which the condition of the road has caused in preceding years. . f There is also the possibility that when additional funds are available, work will continue past the six-mile corner in the future.

A good angle is added when the angler is only seven-years old, and it's really climaxed when S4-year old grandmother kills the fish after the grandson gets it ashore. It happened to Christine Johnson and young Daverne Johnson here.

Martin Erickson Clouds, which had hovered threateningly over the field all afternoon, opened suddenly with a deluge which effectively stopped the game Sunday, as Backus was preparing to bat in the first half of the ninth inning, after; these two teams had exchanged the lead several times and found themselves tied-up at 6-all at the end of the eighth. The game was 'hard-fought from the first pitch, as Backus was defending an undefeated record, and Pine River wtis determined to climb back to the winning column with a victory over the league leaders. The locals scored first when Swift crossed the plate on a two-bagger by ■Lyle 'Stanley in the last of the second. P.ackus then staged a rally in the -third, scoring four runs before being retired. In their half of the sixth, I'ine River went on a scoring spree, causing the Backus hinder to be relieved by Hoff who finished the game. All in all, the local boys turned in a good performance with Lyle Stanley collecting a brace of two-base hits, and Rognlie snaring a high fly deep in center field. In accordance with league rules, the game will be played off on a field favorable to both teams tit a date toj be announced later. A fine crowd filled the .bleachers Sunday und the cars which lined the fence about the field. Next Sunday, the Walker hall- hawks will invade the local field, for; their first meeting with Pine River. A good game is expected, so why not be there to enjoy It? SWANBURG Mrs. Cecil Anderson, Corres. . For.the benefit of the nimrods who* believe in being prepared ahead of time, information to the effect that the Migratory Waterfowl Stamps, better known as Duck Stamps, are now! available at the local postoffice, bas been given out. Remembering the furor of last year, when all postofnees sold their entire supply during' the first two days of the season, causing a delay for anxious hunters, it would undoubtedly be a wise plan to buy your stamp early and save having the usual last-minute headache the day before the season opens and the shooting starts. Jlrs. Brock and son of Joliet, 111., are here for a visit at the bome of Jir. and Jlrs. Albers. School meeting was held at the Swanburg school Tuesday- evening.

SHQ0TIN' THE BREEZE With Your Service Officer Jlany persons whose relatives were killed in service and are buried in cemeteries overseas, wonder as to the care of the graves in these cemeteries. Foreign cemeteries are under the supervision and care of the army and everything that is possible is being done to make the cemeteries attractive. iSome of the most beautiful cemeteries on the face of the earth are those maintained by the army. JIany of those buried in foreign cemeteries will be returned because of the wish of the next of kin.> Everything is being done to speed their return. This project is under the supervision of the Quartermaster General's department and no one except the army will have any supervision or control of the return of the w^ar dead. In spite of this fact, racketeers are now calling on relatives of those who were killed in service and who are buried in foreign countries and are soliciting funds from them with the promise that they will he able to speed the return of the veterans' bodies. Others are soliciting funds from the next of kin promising special care of the veteran's grave .and a photograph to be made and sent to the next-of kin. These are just a few of the rackets that are being carried on. If any one should contact you soliciting funds for any service in the returning of the war dead t» the United States, yonr County Service Officer, Marshall Alexander requests that you immediately call him so that he may take the necessary steps to apprehend these racketeers. send as many members as possible to the Lutheran Bible Camp at Amery, Wise, August 3 to 9.

Biltmore Colony's architecture is referential to Palm Springs, Calif.'s modernist history, but DesignARC Los Angeles infused the project with up-to-date models of land planning as well. The "innovation is in the creation of the courtyards," said one judge.
Built on the remains of the old Biltmore Hotel, the project uses a zero-lot-line strategy to get the most out of its 3.3-acre parcel. Each of the 19 houses is sited on one side of the lot to capture outdoor living spaces up to the adjacent house. "This was an attempt to remake the traditional Palm Springs patio home," says Dion McCarthy, AIA. "It's all about the sun and outdoors here." Circulation is maintained along the lot-line wall to create privacy for each house.
In addition to the outdoor spaces, all the houses have casitas, staggered from front to rear to vary the streetscape. A well-known typology in Palm Springs, the casitas—articulated as freestanding volumes close to the house—can serve as guesthouses or as vacation rentals, McCarthy says.

'Fast & Furious 7' production shut down indefinitely
Production on Fast & Furious 7 is shutting down indefinitely in the wake of Paul Walker's death, Universal announced on Wednesday.
As Gossip Cop previously reported, Walker and the cast had been shooting the movie in Atlanta this fall, but filming was temporarily halted after the actor died in a car crash on Saturday.
Now the studio is trying to figure out how to proceed respectfully.
In a statement, the studio says:
Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul's immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers.
At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise.
We are committed to keeping Fast & Furious fans informed, and we will provide further information to them when we have it. Until then, we know they join us in mourning the passing of our dear friend Paul Walker.
In the days since Walker's tragic crash, the franchise's stars and crew have expressed their devastation and paid tribute to their longtime friend and colleague.
Also on Wednesday, the coroner's office announced Walker died from "traumatic and thermal injuries."

On April 10, Goucher President Sanford J. Ungar served as the U.S. representative at "Exploring Difference -- The Philosophy of Undergraduate Education," a conference organized by the International Dialogue on Education to discuss best practices and trends in undergraduate education.
Held in Berlin, the conference examined theories of undergraduate education in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States, including how these countries' different educational systems incorporate teaching and research into curricula. Conference participants also compared bachelor degree attainment internationally and examined the correlation between undergraduate degrees and professional degrees and employability.
Ungar additionally conducted a workshop titled "Diversity and Complexity: The U.S. System of Higher Education," which focused on the evolution and the pluralistic characteristics of a liberal arts education in the United States.
The International Dialogue on Education workshop series is a joint initiative of the British Council Germany, the German Academic Exchange Service, the German-American Fulbright Commission, the Australian Group of Eight, and the Canadian Bureau for International Education in Berlin.

The first question:
Osho,In which way can the practice of self-remembering transform the human mind?
Man is not centered in himself. He is born centered, but the society, the family, the education, the culture, they push him off-center, and they put him off-center in a very cunning way, knowingly or unknowingly. So everyone becomes, in a sense, "eccentric" - off the center. There are reasons, survival reasons for it.
When a child is born he has to be forced into a certain discipline. He cannot be allowed freedom. If he is allowed total freedom, he will remain with the center - spontaneous, living with himself, living himself. He will be original as he is. He will be authentic, and then there will be no need to practice any self-remembering. There will be no need to practice any meditation because he will never go off the center. He will remain with himself - centered, rooted, grounded in his own being. But this has not yet been possible. Meditation is, therefore, medicinal. The society creates the disease, and then the disease has to be treated.
Religion is medicinal. If really a human society based in freedom can be evolved, there would be no need of religion. Because we are ill medicine is needed, and because we are off-center methods of centering are needed. If someday it becomes possible on earth to create a healthy society, healthy in the inner sense, there will be no religion. But it seems difficult to create such a society.
The child has to be disciplined. What are you doing when you are disciplining a child? You are forcing something which is not natural to him. You are asking and demanding something which he will never do spontaneously. You will punish him, you will appreciate, you will bribe him, you will do everything to make him social - to take him away from his natural being. You will create a new center in his mind which was never there, and this center will grow and the natural center will go into oblivion, into the unconscious.
Your natural center has moved into the unconscious, into the dark, and your unnatural center has become your conscious. There is really no division between unconscious and conscious; the division is created. You are one consciousness. This division comes because your own center has been forced to some dark corner. Even you are not in contact with it; you are not allowed to be in contact with it. You yourself have become unconscious that you have a center. You live what the society, the culture, the family have taught you to live.

Edwin, Amsterdam
Overall, very nice bright rooms, friendly. However, bedside lamps were missing and the sofa bed was hard to unfold.
Nevertheless, my visitors were very satisfied.
Insgesamt sehr schöne helle Räume, freundlich eingerichtet. Allerdings wurden Nachttischlampen vermisst und die Schlafcouch ließ sich kaum ausklappen.
Nichtsdestotrotz waren meine Besucher sehr zufrieden.
Rooms and apartment are generally recommended. Only 4 stars because Yana phone was not even on Wimdu reach of us and one other tenant.
Zimmer und Wohnung sind durchaus zu empfehlen. Nur 4 Sterne, weil Yana telefonisch von uns und einer weiteren Mieterin nicht, auch nicht über wimdu, zu erreichen war.
The apartment is really pretty and extreamly clean, I recomend it to everyone.
A bit small but quite all right
I enjoyed my stay.
It was a nice stay in Berlin, quite good reachable in the center of Berlin. We enjoyed a weekend in this old style Berlin house, Vorderhaus, Seitenflügel and Gartenhaus are very typical for Berlin. In the 6th floor (elevator is available) you have very tall rooms, Clean and quiet, comfortable kitchen and clean bathroom facilities. Metro reachable in 3 minutes to get wherever you want in Berlin. Great.

Penn-Villanova Box Score
PHILADELPHIA –A five-run, two-out rally in the sixth inning spurred the University of Pennsylvania baseball team to a thrilling 12-5 win over the visiting Villanova Wildcats on Wednesday afternoon at Meiklejohn Stadium. Sophomore Joey Greco was the offensive catalyst with a pair of home runs – including the go-ahead grand slam – and six runs batted in as the Quakers pounded out 18 hits against the Wildcats' pitching staff.
Penn didn't have too much going against Villanova starter Kevin MacLachlan until the third inning. With the Wildcats on top, 2-0, all it took was one swing of the bat for Greco to level the game at 2-2 with his first home run of the season. The Quakers then took their first lead of the game in the bottom of the fourth inning off reliever Matt Meurer. Meurer, who in the end would take the loss, gave up a RBI grounder back up the middle from Gary Tesch to score Austin Bossart after the Penn catcher worked his way on with a double deep into center field.
The 3-2 lead that the Quakers held at that point lasted until the top of the sixth as the Penn bullpen worked its way into a jam. After two men reached to start the inning against Jeremy Witt, Mitch Holtz came on and could only retire one batter, leaving the bases juiced for John Beasley. Beasley recorded one out on a fly ball to left, but also gave up a single that rolled through the left side of the Penn infield and made it a 5-3 game. Bringing on Stephen Silvestri to face lefty Connor Jones, the Quakers finally reached the end of the inning with a much-needed strikeout.
The Quakers put their first three runs of the ballgame on the board with two down in the third and fourth innings, and the sixth would be no different. A Mitch Montaldo single was all Penn had to show for itself with two down in the inning, but a combination of power and patience flipped the script on Villanova's afternoon. Tesch started things off with a single that dropped into center field to move Montaldo into scoring position and Connor Betbeze followed that with a walk to load the bases. Meurer exited the game and headed for the dugout with Chris Haggarty coming on in relief, but the Quakers were just getting started. Mike Vilardo worked a walk on a full count, driving in Montaldo and cutting the deficit to one, 5-4. Though Greco had already connected on one bomb, Haggarty grooved a fastball to the Penn DH on the first pitch of the at-bat and the sophomore turned on it, crushing a no-doubter out over the fence in left field for the 8-5 lead.
A rattled Wildcats' pen continued to struggle in the late stages of the contest, giving up two runs in both the seventh and eighth innings to up the Quaker lead to 12-5. Two of those runs came courtesy of wild pitches. On the flip side of that, Penn locked down on Villanova. Silvestri continued to work into the seventh inning, picking up his first win of the season, before giving way to Montaldo. Montaldo and Ronnie Glenn worked 2.1 innings collectively and only allowed one runner over that span, a two-out walk in the top of the ninth.
As the numbers would indicate, it was a busy day at the plate for Penn, with seven players collecting multiple hits. Vilardo went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored, while Tesch was 3-for-5 with another two RBI and one run. Montaldo set the table for the Quakers, going 3-for-5 and scoring three runs, while Ryan Deitrich was amazingly the fourth Penn player with three hits on the day, going 3-for-5. Betbeze, Greco and Bossart all added two hits and scored two runs apiece.
Penn will try to keep up its stellar play when they face Lafayette in a four-game series this weekend, part of a five-game stretch against the Leopards that will conclude next Wednesday in the quarterfinals of the Liberty Bell Classic. The Quakers first make the trip north to play in a doubleheader beginning at 12 p.m. on Saturday. On Sunday, Penn is back home at "The Meik" for a doubleheader with the Patriot League foe that will get going at 12 p.m.

By Phil Collin
If Chivas USA wasn't going to be able end its long winless streak Wednesday, then - well, gulp.
When Eric Avila was sent off with a red card in the 25 th minute, history of the bad kind was right at the Goats' feet.
They opted for the alternative and somehow emerged with a 1-0 victory over Toronto FC at StubHub Center to stop their 14-game winless streak and win for the first time since March 30.
Chivas (4-11-5) had 10 lossses and four ties in its streak, which was tied for the third-longest in MLS history, If they had lost to , they would have equaled the second-longest.
Toronto (2-10-7) "Today is a special day," said Coach Jose Luis Real after picking up his first victory in his seventh try. "When we are losing many games, the motivation for the team is not easy."
In his debut with the club, 20-year-old forward Erick Torres got the milestone goal in the 79th minute with a nifty individual move. Torres had just arrived on loan from the mother ship in Guadalajara.
Then the Chivas defense, anchored by another new arrival, Carlos Bocanegra, was able to hold off Toronto, which has its own issues.
"First of all, it was nice to be back in Los Angeles. I'm familiar with this place," said Bocanegra, the former Alta Loma High and UCLA standout.
"It was cool to be playing in my hometown, obviously with the win it made it pretty nice as well.
"The guys have been working real hard and the new coach has come in and been teaching and teaching and teaching. We've been doing a lot of tactical stuff. . . .
"They've been playing better and better organized and I think it showed. We built on that. They showed a lot of character out there."
When Avila was ordered off the field after a studs-high challenge to Darel Russell, Chivas' task looked impossible after the club took the field with a sense of optimism.
Bocanegra, the longtime U.S. national team captain, was making his debut with the club and Torres was tabbed by Real as the spearhead in the 4-5-1 formation.
It took Torres the better part of the game to get comfortable, but he nearly scored a tiebreaking goal that could have stood as the milestone.
In the 60th minute, midfielder Tristan Bowen had possession on the right sideline and sent a crossing pass that eluded three Toronto defenders and suddenly, Torres had the ball on his feet with half the net to shoot at.
But a moment's hesitation cost him and goalkeeper Joe Bendik was able scoot over and deny Torres from about 10 yards away.
"Obviously there are always mistakes in soccer, and I was able to recover from them and I was able to score at the end," Torres said.
The missed opportunity went from a cheer of anticipation to another groan from the sparse gathering. At several points during the match, it was easy to understand the shouted instructions from players all over the field.
To cope with the loss of Avila, Real decided on an attacking approach instead of a defensive posture. At halftime, he sent in Jorge Villafana for defender Carlos Borja, showing faith in Bocanegra to muster the back line of three defenders.

BENTLEY'S PUBLICATIONS 1982 - 88 5 Series Workshop Manual
I have just recently received my BENTLEY'S workshop manual sent from the UK......
While I have noticed from other posts as to the praise that this Manual has been given and the broad amount of information it has, I have found that this WORKSHOP MANUAL as "INFORMATIVE" and yet is useless as to what task I am seeking.........
Some time back I posted on this FORUM as to the method...... "IF ANY POSSIBLE" as to adjusting the steering column....... while it took some time for me to get a result, I somewhat managed to OOGLE GOOGLE the e28 owners manual in a pathetic version of a PDF FORMAT in "RUSSIAN".....
Now I am not in any way a linguist or able to speak Russian, but did find inside as to the operation of the adjuster lever in 1 of the diagrams........ HOORAY...... the column goes in and out..... (exactly what I want done...... BOOOOOO the column does not go up or down....... SHHHHHHHIIIIIZZZZZ......
OK...... so far so good.........
eventually I did get some input as to the LOCK NUT down under the column near the firewall....... while mine is somewhat TIGHT...... very very TIGHT..... it is not seized up..... I sprayed some RP7 (similar to WD40) on and around the nut and column and slowly slowly I managed to creak a little turn ... with the spanner adjusted to the nut size and hard up against the transmission hump on the left side of column..... If I turn hard enough the steering wheel (with engine running and power steering to make easier) to the right I guess it is bound to loosen up.....
I love my car and I love my stomach and hoping this column will come to a compromise and allow the 2 to co-exist in the car.......
The BENTLEY'S isn't exactly the BIBLE I expected it to be for the e28...... fancy making no reference at all to the adjustable column while the lever is clearly seen in several of the diagrams inside...: confused:
Sorry GUYS AND GIRLS but I had to get this off my chest.......
An almost proud owner of a 1987 e28 535i M Spec
The moving of the steering column up and down is part of the owners manual, so I am going to assume the Bentley did not bother. Also it is not difficult. The bentley is better then the other manuals available. Until after the 90s BMW did not have adjustable steering wheels beyond up and down.
Hey I am not exactly pissed off over the non inclusion of the column but it would have been nice if they had took the effort and as for the "Also it is not difficult.".............. I beg to differ as this BASTARD column nut thingy down low is TIGHTER THAN A NUNS HEAD DRESS..... I think I may have to use a ship load of KY GEL just to get the MONGREL loose......... Well I guess I am gonna have to persist and hopefully the nut will come free....... If the steering wheel was any further out towards the drivers seat, I would most likely have to remove the drivers seat and drive from the back seat........ when I first purchased the car the wheel obviously was where it is now and the seat all the way forward, so the previous OLDER MALE OWNER was a little short WOG...... (Now being a WOG myself, I am allowed to say this)..... No offense to any bleeding heart PC CORRECT (politically correct) FOOLS.....
Again thanks to ...... SOUTH26 for you time and heads up on the manual long way back when I first appeared on this forum with a few probs.......
when am I allowed to post a few pics of the car???????
Try e-bay for a HANDBOOK. That's where I got mine for my E30.
Good - Fast - Cheap: Pick any two.
3 x E32 735iL (Alpine White, Glacier Blue & Kashmir Beige); 2 X E38 735iL (Oxford Green & Alpine White); E53 X5 4.4i (Pearl Beige); R50 Cooper; R55 Cooper Clubman (Both Pure Silver).

It Begins? Texas Senator Cruz To Campaign--in New Hampshire
There has been a lot of talk about Rick Perry running for President in 2016, but another Texan may be getting a head start on him.
Freshman Senator Ted Cruz, who is wildly popular among Tea Party and conservative groups, says he will be making an appearance in New Hampshire next month.
New Hampshire, of course, is the state with the first Presidential primary, n January of 2016.
1200 WOAI news reports Cruz, 42, will be traveling to New Hampshire to headline a fundraiser for the New Hampshire Republican Party.
Cruz has already visited South Carolina, which is the scene of the first Southern primary, and also has a summer visit planned to Iowa, which will hold the first selection contest for the 2016 race, with it's early January Caucus.
Cruz also has a stop planned in Florida, where Senator Marco Rubio, who once was the hope of conservative Republicans, has seen his support slip among Tea Partiers with his support of an immigration compromise which many conservatives see as 'amnesty for illegal immigrants.'
Cruz is number one in a recent poll of the person Texans would most like to see run for President in 2016, and is number two in a new nationwide poll, behind Kentucky Senator Rand Paul.

Singer Taylor Swift was far from amused when Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood joked about her break-up with Conor Kennedy during their opening monologue at the CMA Awards earlier this month.
The We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together hitmaker split from 18-year-old Kennedy just days before the prizegiving ceremony on November 1, and co-hosts Underwood and Paisley poked fun at their pal Swift by referencing her short-lived romance at the beginning of the show.
Paisley asked, "Are they ever gonna get back together?" And the Before He Cheats singer said, "Never... Ever... Ever."
The camera quickly panned to the crowd to catch a few audience members' reactions, but Swift wasn't shown and she explains to the New York Times, "They don't pan to you if you're not laughing."
Meanwhile, an event spokesperson has since spoken out to defend Underwood and Paisley's humour, telling U.S. radio station Country Aircheck, "We're not trying to hurt anyone with the monologue, we're just trying to be funny and entertaining... You never know for sure how they're going to take it. Most of the time, I think we hit it pretty well. In that case, (the camera man) couldn't tell, so he didn't want to cut to her. It's better to err on the side of being conservative."

The Cheesy Bread with a secret…
1 stick butter, softened
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 1/2-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 loaf italian or french bread (or 1 whole small loaf)
dried parsley flakes (optional)
Cheesy Garlic Bread
- 1 stick salted butter softened to room temp.
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced
- 1 ½-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese depending on how cheesy you like it
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 loaf italian or french bread
- dried parsley flakes optional
- Preheat oven to 375F degrees
- Cut loaf in half lengthwise, and put one half on baking sheet.
- In a small bowl combined softened butter with minced garlic.
- Stir well.
- In another bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese with mayonnaise.
- Spread butter/garlic mixture on loaf.
- Next, spread cheese/mayo mixture on top (I find it easiest to do this part with my hands).
- Sprinkle with some dried parsley flakes for a bit of color (optional)
- Bake in 375F degree oven for about 12-15 minutes. Until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Recipe NotesCut into slices and serve. Makes half a loaf.
If your garlic cloves are really large, then you can probably get away with only using 2 cloves for this recipe.

Romain Grosjean heads to the Monaco Grand prix with points in his pocket and plenty of local support..
How did it feel to score the team's first points of the year in Spain?
It's great for all the team and they certainly deserved it. they've been working very hard at Enstone and at the track and if you look at where we were in Australia and where we are now, it's a massive step forward. So I'm proud of them all and happy with what we're doing. It was a good reward for all of us.
What does Monaco mean to you?
It's kind of the unofficial French Grand Prix first of all! It was great to see so much French support last year, with all the flags and banners. Then there are the unique challenges of such a special circuit. As a driver you have to stay calm and relaxed on a track that doesn't allow for any mistakes. I've been super quick in the past, but also hit the walls! It's an exciting and glamorous Grand Prix and always a step into the unknown, because it's difficult to predict how well each car will work there. It's a crazy week with all the focus and attention, but everyone loves Monaco.
What is your favourite part of the track?
Certainly not the walls! I do like the Casino corner which is quite nice, high-speed with a little bit of banking. The most difficult part would be the next section - Mirabeau, Loews and then the two Portier corners because you have to 'create' some speed.
How challenging will the new generation of F1 cars be to drive at Monaco?
It will be a challenge. There will be less grip than in the past, so we will have to be careful with the right foot. In terms of mapping, torque, energy and fuel saving I actually think it will be easier than most tracks because the race distance is shorter so we shouldn't have to worry too much. Of course we'll need the best drivability possible around the tricky sections, but the most important thing in Monaco is to trust your car and have confidence in it.
How satisfying is it when you put everything together for a good lap around Monaco?
When you finish a lap and you know it's quick because you've given everything and you're so close to the walls at every corner, it is something special. Finding the balance between pushing too hard and not enough makes a huge difference in Monaco.
Is it hard to keep your focus during such a busy event?
It's true there are almost too many things to do. I will try to find some time for myself in my room and keep focusing on what I have to do. It's a home Grand Prix for the sponsors, so very important for them and for us.
Do you think the recent improvements to the E22 will pay off in Monte Carlo?
The emphasis at Monaco is on low speed corners, which is not our greatest strength, but the team worked with Monaco in mind during the Barcelona test. Bumpy straights and a low grip surface are the other main Monaco characteristics and how well you adapt to them can make or break your weekend. We'll do our best with set-up and of course Monaco is less engine dependent than most circuits, which is better for us. It was nice not only to score points in Barcelona, but also to be fifth on the grid in qualifying - if we can do that again in Monaco it'll be very good for us...
After setting the pace at the Barcelona post-race test, Pastor Maldonado is primed for the Monaco Grand prix.
Was the Barcelona test as good as it looked?
Yes. I would say it was our first 'normal' test without any problems and we were able to complete our entire schedule. It was really important and a very positive test because we learnt so much more about the car. Everything is getting better and better in my opinion. Of course I'm happy with the result as well.
Can you feel the progress when you are driving the car?
The car has made a big step forward from where we were. The focus of the test was to continue to develop settings and try new ideas. It was a busy programme to be honest, but hopefully the rest of the season will be much better for us. We got a lot of data which our engineers took back to the factory to analyse in detail.
What's the significance of such a positive test for the team?
I think it's a great boost for everyone at Enstone and of course as a driver it gives me more confidence in the car so I can aim to achieve better results. If you think about where we were and where we are now it is an incredible step forward – particularly when the other teams are moving forward with their development too. It's a true testament to the team's capabilities and I hope we can start to get the results on track that we so deserve.
Looking ahead to Monaco, what makes it so special for you?
First of all it's such an historic Grand Prix and an iconic race for Formula 1. I really love it. I've been very quick in the past and I think it is one of the most special weekends of the year. The atmosphere is unique. The track is really challenging and changes a lot over the sessions, which you need to anticipate. It's difficult to be quick close to the walls and overall it's a very tough race, demanding in terms of concentration and stressful physically and mentally. The only negative thing is that it is quite difficult to overtake, but it is not impossible.
What are your favourite parts of the circuit?
I really like the Casino and Swimming Pool sections. Every corner in Monaco has its own challenge, and own individual approach needed - that is probably the beauty of the circuit there. It's where I live now so I might be biased, but it's a very special place.
What are your early memories of Monaco?
Monaco was always my favourite track when I was watching Formula 1 on TV as a kid. Then the first time I went to a Grand Prix was also Monaco, in 2003, which was my first year in Formula Renault. Juan Pablo Montoya won and it was amazing to see how close they were to the wall and how quick the cars were, because they had V10 engines then. Another good Monaco memory for me is winning in GP2 in 2007 and 2009.
How difficult do you think it will be to drive the new F1 cars at Monaco, with all the new switches and settings?
We will be very busy in the cockpit with all the switches and changes to be made. We're also going to face a big challenge as the tyres are harder than those we've used in Monaco in the past. In Barcelona we ran with the super-soft and were able to finish the lap without causing problems for the tyres, which was not the case in the past. So that'll be a big question mark. For sure Mercedes is the strongest team at the moment but we are focused and pushing hard to catch them.
There has been a lot of talk about changes to improve Formula One, what would you like to see?
It's difficult because ultimately the rules are the same for everyone. But I would like the performance of the cars to be closer. That is the main thing. Whatever the cars, whatever the teams, we need better competition. That's certainly what we're pushing for as a team; to be closer to the front.

The islands known as the Netherlands Antilles originally were inhabited by Arawak and Carib Indians; the arrival in the early 16th century of the Spanish caused the decimation of the native population. The Dutch, attracted by salt deposits, occupied the islands in the early part of the 17th century, and, except for brief periods of British occupation, the islands have remained Dutch possessions. Through much of the 17th and 18th centuries, the islands prospered from Dutch trade in slaves, plantation products, and contraband, but the economy declined from 1816 until 1914.
Curaçao was discovered by The first Europeans to sight Curaçao were Alonso de Ojeda and Amerigo Vespucci in 1499, and the area was settled in 1527 by the Spanish, who used it mainly for livestock raising. In 1634 Johannes van Walbeeck of the Dutch West India Company occupied and fortified the island, which became the base for a rich entrepôt trade flourishing through the 18th century. During the colonial period, Curaçao was a major Caribbean centre of Caribbean for the transatlantic slave trade.
There were two short periods during the Napoleonic Wars when Curaçao was held by the British, but it was returned to The Netherlands by the Treaty of Paris in 1815. The 19th century was a period of economic decline partially alleviated by the cultivation of aloes and oranges. Only after the construction of the Schottegat oil refinery (opened in 1918), however, did economic conditions improve greatly improve.
Bonaire also was discovered in 1499 by Ojeda and VespucciOjeda and Vespucci also sighted Bonaire during their voyage in 1499. The island was settled by the Spanish in 1501 and claimed by the Dutch in 1634. It became part of the Dutch West India Company in 1636 and remained a government plantation until 1863. From 1807 to 1814 it was under British control.
The island of Saint Martin Discovered was sighted by Christopher Columbus on Nov. 11, 1493 (St. Martin's Day), the island and was taken by French pirates in 1638, though the Spanish settled there in 1640. In 1648 , French and Dutch prisoners of war allegedly met after the Spanish departure and amicably divided the island. The Dutch obtained Sint Maarten, the smaller but more valuable southern section, which contained large salt deposits.
Sint Eustatius, first colonized by the French and English in 1625, was taken by the Dutch in 1632. It became the main centre of slave trade in the eastern Caribbean and by 1780 had a population of 2,500. In 1781 the British sacked Oranjestad (after the U.S. flag had officially been saluted there for the first time), and the island never regained its trade. In the 17th and 18th centuries most of the land was under sugarcane cultivation.
Saba was settled by the Dutch in 1632 but, because of its inaccessibility and ruggedness, never achieved any economic importance.
After World War II, negotiations began with the aim of conferring a greater measure of self-government on the islands. On Dec. 15, 1954, a charter was signed making the islands were made an autonomous part of The Netherlands. In 1969 , Curaçao was torn by labour conflicts leading that led to riots and arson. Since then discussions on complete independence have been held intermittently.
Politics In the late 20th century, politics in the Netherlands Antilles are now were dominated by three issues: economic problems, the coming of independence, and the degree of autonomy to be afforded each island within the federation. By the mid-1970s it was clear that most of the Netherlands Antilles feared the economic consequences of independence. The Dutch government pressed for independence but insisted on preserving a federated structure embracing all the islands. In an unofficial referendum in 1977, Aruba voted to secede from the Antilles federation but remained within the kingdom; it formally achieved that status in 1986. By 1978 all the islands had accepted the concept of insular self-determination.
In 1989 the political leadership of Saint Martin Sint Maarten announced its desire to achieve full independence in the shortest possible term; secessionist feelings were fueled by animosity toward the central administration in Curaçao. An investigation by the government of The Netherlands into the administration of Saint Martin Sint Maarten resulted in 1993 in the arrest of two prominent leaders on charges of corruption and led to closer supervision by the metropolitan government of the island's affairs.
Efforts to placate secessionist sentiment in the islands by increasing insular autonomy apparently had the desired results, since during the mid-1990s all five islands voted to remain within the Netherlands Antilles.
In 2006 the people of the islands agreed, along with the Dutch government, to dismantle the Netherlands Antilles, although none of the islands chose independence. St. Maarten and Curaçao chose autonomous country status within The Netherlands. Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius were to become special municipalities of The Netherlands.

TLC Explains why there is no Left Eye on their 'Waterfalls' remake
(Yahoo!) - TLC members Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas and Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins say there is a good reason why late group member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes does not appear on the 20th anniversary remake of their signature song, "Waterfalls."
They were denied the right to use Lopes's vocals.
"We don't own the master recording rights to Lisa's raps on any of our music, and our requests to gain the rights so far have been denied," Chilli said in a statement released exclusively to Yahoo! Music. "With the Japanese anniversary edition, we were forced to use creative ways to honor Lisa's memory and celebrate this milestone with our fans."
The new version features Japanese pop star Namie Amuro rapping and singing a variation of Lopes's lyrics on the song.
The omission upset Lopes's sister Reigndrop. "I did not know about it until a fan posted it online," Reigndrop told TMZ. "I mean it would have been nice if they would have given us a heads up before being surprised."
Reigndrop added that her mother was upset by T-Boz and Chilli's decision because she felt that the song would have honored her daughter's memory had it included her vocals.
Lopes's family was notified, according to T-Boz. "Our management spoke to Ron Lopes (Lisa's brother) prior to the record being released to let him know that Namie would be performing to 'Lisa's' lyrics," she said in the statement. "We have and always will protect our sister's legacy as TLC consists of the three of us collectively. Although we have and will collaborate with other artists, there will never be a replacement for Lisa or any members in TLC."

How often do we have a chance seeing him with the top guys? In fact, he has had a really wonderful weekend - really, my hats off to him for such an awesome performance! Yes, keep that going & hopefully more coming along the way! Really curious how he'll fare when aboard a decent prototype! Not sure but probably not the top guys' performance.. but really who knows? But likely he'll be there, like Cal? Really hope Aprilia will play a more active role next year, coming out with an even more ferocious & fearsome machine next year. Haha... This will benefit greatly. Their current engine really has the potential and seems to be in the right direction. Let's hope for the best! Meanwhile, Aleix, keep those quiet confidence & positives going!! Nicely job indeed enhancing the excitement of bike racing! Reply Report abuse 5 agree 0 disagree
