Even empty gaps have a colour. Now scientists have shown that quantum jumps of electrons can change the colour of gaps between nano-sized balls of gold. The new results, published in the journal Nature, set a fundamental quantum limit on how tightly light can be trapped.
The team from the Universities of Cambridge, the Basque Country and Paris have combined tour de force experiments with advanced theories to show how light interacts with matter at nanometre sizes. The work shows how they can literally see quantum mechanics in action in air at room temperature.
Because electrons in a metal move easily, shining light onto a tiny crack pushes electric charges onto and off each crack face in turn, at optical frequencies. The oscillating charge across the gap produces a 'plasmonic' colour for the ghostly region in-between, but only when the gap is small enough.
Team leader Professor Jeremy Baumberg from the University of Cambridge Cavendish Laboratory suggests we think of this like the tension building between a flirtatious couple staring into each other's eyes. As their faces get closer the tension mounts, and only a kiss discharges this energy.
In the new experiments, the gap is shrunk below 1nm (1 billionth of a metre) which strongly reddens the gap colour as the charge builds up. However because electrons can jump across the gap by quantum tunnelling, the charge can drain away when the gap is below 0.35nm, seen as a blue-shifting of the colour. As Baumberg says, "It is as if you can kiss without quite touching lips."
Matt Hawkeye, from the experimental team at Cambridge, said: "Lining up the two nano-balls of gold is like closing your eyes and touching together two needles strapped to the end of your fingers. It has taken years of practise to get good at it."
Prof Javier Aizpurua, leader of the theoretical team from San Sebastian complains: "Trying to model so many electrons oscillating inside the gold just cannot be done with existing theories." He has had to fuse classical and quantum views of the world to even predict the colour shifts seen in experiment.
The new insights from this work suggest ways to measure the world down to the scale of single atoms and molecules, and strategies to make useful tiny devices.

Do you fart first thing in the morning
108 Comments on "Do you fart first thing in the morning"
The operative word here, for me, is "Folgers".
I only fart sometimes in the morning. I've had a couple unlucky moments where I wake myself up because I farted. Of course all these moments never seem to happen when Im alone :( lol

Amen, Sister!
Not first thing though I have been known to fart while asleep which I have to say fills me with horror knowing I'll soon be in the sky for 23 hours flying across to Australia. I pity the poor buggers who are going to be on the receiving end of some of my gaseous monsters!
I usually don't fart all that much first thing. It takes about an hour for the mojo gas to start moving; at which point I'm trapped in my car.
But then again, I can lift a cheek on the leather seat and make much louder explosions than I am capable of in the open air alone.
It kind of makes me proud.
It's YOUR cat, YOU get his poop out of my sink!
Bad kitty! Bathtubs are NOT litterboxes!
I fart during my morning shower. They sound louder for some reason. My husband farts in bed. He tried to Dutch Oven me once.
He tried to Dutch Oven you? That's love :-)
There is nothing like a nice crispy fart first thing in the morning. It not only trumpets a brand new day it gives you an indication as to what your intestinal tract has in store for you the rest of the day.

I have not noticed that I fart first thing in the morning, though I may fart later in the day. There are, of course, a few exceptions, but they are not a regular occurrence. If I've eaten something really spicy or greasy, or there's a low pressure storm outside, or I was already gassy when I went to bed, I'll definitely blow the ass trumpet to herald in the day.
Now my dad was a regular farter. (From both ends, but that's another story.) Dad always had this way of farting that reverberated through the furniture and could be felt through the floor three rooms away. I always knew he was awake because the first thing he did every morning was rip a huge bubble.
If a man farts and no one's around, does he make a sound?
I found Jesus! He was behind the sofa the whole time!
After considering the topic of farts, it has occurred to me that I fart 95% of the time, with a genuine one to nineteen ratio, on the pot. I rarely fart when I'm not sitting on the john. This being the case, I chose the last option; I'm just not that gassy.
In the metaphysical scheme of things, in the spirit of balance, I think the Shit Volcano has the majority of my farts, leaving me with a pittance of what could be. It's all good.

ermm i dont usaully fart in the mornings...
Every morning, in the shower, just after wetting my cheeks, so its good and moist sounding...only once has the sound been an actual "event" rather than "This is a test of the emergency Buttcast system...had this been a real emergency...etc"
"One of the founding members of the Front Page Hyena Pack, and runs as its alpha male when the urge strikes him, which is often." Daphne (one perceptive chick)
Like Daphne, I find myself doing a lot of my farting in the toilet. I also fart when I do pilates.
Many plates of Mexican food and 8 pints of real ale yesterday = alarm clock material.
I must have rolled over early this morning and displaced a massive gas build up which erupted from my ring like a volcanic blast and woke me up.
The voice of sanity
Morning farts depend on what I've consumed the previous evening, but I have to admit I enjoy watching my cats fly off the bed when I get off a good one.
I normally rip ass first thing this is a thing of beauty lasts about 20 seconds changes pitch 3 to 4 times and sends the dog running off the bed to take cover in the basement as he seems to think a tornado is ripping through our horse ranch
Man, just the other morning, as I woke up sounding my ass trumpet, I was wondering about this very same topic. I let out some big farts first thing while taking my morning pee. Now I know I'm not alone.
I let out a humungous ripper this morning while standing at a public urinal taking a pee. I was awfully glad I was alone in there, could have been a bit embarrassing. It smelled absolutely dreadful!
I've never woken myself up but I've been woken up by my wife's expulsions. All that borscht she eats makes her ass sound like a tuba and not a trumpet.
As for me, yeah, I fart in the morning. I try to do it, however, before I get to the kitchen and start fixing everyone breakfast.
Deja Poo - Because this shit's so strange, it couldn't ever have happened before.
Yo quiero Taco Bell.
its like clock work for me every morning i rip a juicer and i dont even remember that I do it. ITs beautiful. I need to start recording them so I can hear my horn toot
Every single morning, at the same exact time (about 7:02), my boyfriend lets out the loudest and longest fart I have ever heard. It's always the SAME length, with the SAME sound.It almost sounds like a bunch of bad fireworks ingiting all at once. It has come to the point that I no longer have to use my alarm clock, which works out great for me. The dog takes cover, and sometimes she will make sure to be out of the "line of fire" once 7:01 hits. Sad part is, he has no idea ANY of this occurs( I have to tell him later that day) becuse he is still sleeping...even though after every one he will let out a silent chuckle and roll over...THANKS!!!
Any suggestions on what I can do to produce massive loud long farts? The key is to be able to produce the great farts without giving myself the runs!!! This can be tricky. Suggestions? Flax seed? Psyllium husk? Beans? Nuts? Onion rings? Milk shakes? Beer? WHAT??? We all have different bodies that react differently to different foods, but there has got to be a recipe that will work on everyone! Where are the fart pros???
Yep, I let it rip in the morning... It sucks, because there is so much pressure up there and BOOM: waky-waky. The ass trumpet is so nice to alert me to wake up.
several hours usually not till i get to my office then i start dropping ass on a regular basis until about 9 am then its off to my shitter , there are some mornings i need to call the sewage plant and tell them to put the big blades in because the motherload is on the way
I'm with FARTMAN. Whats the stuff most people rip their jocks apart with farts after eating? I know
beans, beans, beans - but there must be some other fuel we can ingest to create those Big Bangers!
I fart copiously and evily in the build up to a good shit, then for a while after when there's nothing left inside but air! But it's nothing to do with the time of day, I'm irregular in anything to do with the bowels - they can strike at any time!
_First thing in the morning the ass trumpet wakes the cats. They usually give "that look" and go back to sleep. Seems lately they have sought their own form of payback and will get im my face with the nastiest cat "morning breath". I have some smart-ass pussies._____
Producing waste since 1967
Producing waste since 1967
I personally do not pass gas first thing in the morning. Whatever gas I've accumulated from dinner is emitted by bedtime because I do not eat anything at all after dinner. My husband, however, rips a really loud one off every morning like clockwork. I know I speak for many women on the boards when I say his loud, obnoxious, disgusting farts are an excellent form of birth control.
I nearly always cut a pretty good one before getting out of bed. Then I usually cut a smaller one during my first or second cup of coffee. That's (hopefully) a signal that I'll be ready for a nice relaxing sit on the pot in about 30 minutes. Once I'm on the pot, however, it's just me a a few turds, without any fart friends.
The recipie for longest fart. Have beer all evening then a full glass of yougurt before going to sleep. In the morning you are armed with deadly WMD.....
I always let a out a big whopper of a fart right after I get out of bed. I bend over and just let it out. I don't fart much while laying down, I am a standing up assbuster.
I always fart while doing my aerobic exercise in the morning, lucky enough I am by myself when this happens. I am also a big shower farter. I love the echo that is created while in the shower. Its like the noise is amplified by two or three times and it is AMAZING!! The steam from the hot water tends to really spread the aroma around the bathroom rather quickly. I usually leave the door shut so I can really appreciate the echo and the odor. Most of my farting takes place at work though. It is a good way to keep your boss away from you. Just don't do it out loud and if he/she asks you if you farted, say,"no," I thought that you did." By the way, people with a lot of gas are healthy. When you stop cutting the cheese, then you have to worry.
Farting feels great, smells great, and it is so HEALTHY!!
I don't fart right when I get up, but it usually doesn't take long--say, 15 minutes, rarely as long as an hour. The fart, often silent, is the precursor to the b.m., and I frequently fart several times before the poop moves down into the chute. Once that happens, I rather seldom fart on the pot; at that point it's usually all solid, if sometimes a bit soft. After that, I seldom fart during the day unless I have another b.m.
This morning my farts are especially aromatic and flavourful. Robust, pungent, with mild egg and soft cheese overtones. High in the rich tangy sulfur bouquet, but not entirely overpowering. I simply love the way my buttocks vibrate, as I lay here in bed and let loose several cubic feet of methane and precious fragrant gases. My bowels and sinuses rejoice at the orchestra of intoxicating flavour. Oh, this pure sinful joy. This delicate smell, blissfully trapped beneath the sheets, awaiting a quick sampling with a deft lift of the soft smooth satin. Oh, the sensual and mischievous pleasure of it all.
Farting upon wakening occurs only about 30 % of mornings, alas! Woe to the infrequent farter for his deficient gaseous output! It depends on what I had for dinner the previous evening. When I produce gas, it can be quite an amount stored up in six to eight hours. The waking fart can be a thunderclap heard reverberating off the bedroom walls. These are usually quite fragrant from the long storage as well. As those who've read my profile know, the Good Morning Poop is on its way! Hallelujah! The waking fart is the herald of greater and more substantial ass-product soon to come, like the town crier announcing the procession of the king toward the throne! POOP IS KING! ----Captain Craptastic!!!
----Captain Craptastic!!!
i am a constant emitter of noxious fumes. it never really stops.
all aboard the farty train to pooterville..if you can't shit at my house, we aren't friends
all aboard the farty train to pooterville
Tis' as the trumpets of the dawn sounding a brief reveille when the wife and I awaken.
Everyone enjoys my first fart of the morning! It usually blows out the stale raunchy one thats still hanging around from the previous evening.
pd, when you say 'everyone', to whom are you referring?
The white zone is for loading and unloading only- FZ.
Everyone who can't get to the fire escapes.
Morning farts, ahh the memories.
I was in Air Force basic training at Biloxi Mississippi where we started the morning with exercises. Usually leg-lifts were the first exercise on the agenda. There were probably 500 GIs exercising together so on the count of one, 500 sets of legs would rise into the air while 500 assholes would trumpet a veritable symphony of methane.
Later in life I have expelled such foul gas from my anus on my drive to work that it was still disgustingly evident ten hours later.
Do I fart first thing in the morning? I fart with abandon all day long.
Eat chilies and feel the burn!!
If I had two faces do you think I'd be wearing this one?
Ten hours later?!?!?!?
Now that is something to aspire toward!
The best I can recall is dropping my guts in the car just as we pulled up in the car park of Bunnings (a hardware super-store), then when we got back and opened the door, the stink was still there.
(and its easy to spend an hour or two at Bunnings).
The white zone is for loading and unloading only- FZ.
I had a delivery route years ago to convenience stores. I delivered the refrigerated goods. I would wheel in their milk, eggs, oj etc and when ever I could would leave some cheese of my own in the cooler box. The cold air preserved the fart and usually the first few customers to open the glass front doors got a big surprise.
I had a friend while in the service who, on a whim, farted into his roommate's thermos early one morning. That evening he said, "Homer, I think something is spoiled in your thermos."
A thermos not only keeps hot foods hot and cold foods cold, it will keep a fart fresh for hour!
Eat chilies and feel the burn!!
If I had two faces do you think I'd be wearing this one?

Sandwich Love
Like Joey from Friends, I love a good sandwich.
The other day, I was working offsite at a client office so had a hellish commute home. Needless to say my drive home was fillled with road rage, karaoke singing, contemplating over which superhero powers I'd like to possess and thinking about what to make for dinner.
Cheese? Toast? Eggs? Sandwich? Hmm, how about all of the above.
Word of advice: Never go grocery shopping while you are hungry.
Let's just say I meant to pick up a few essentials and wanted to be in and out like the wind.
Um, that definitely didn't happen.
About $200 later I came home with more than I really needed. But, at least I satisfied my hunger pains with a lovely asiago-sourdough sandwich topped with fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil and an egg, over easy.
Fatty, I know.

Rovers were leading 1-0 at the break but it could have been more as the home side dominated proceedings and missed several good chances to increase their lead.
Keane was fuming with his players and after reading the riot act at half time, the Black Cats came out and won the game thanks to goals from Kenwyne Jones and Cisse.
"I can't really tell you what was said because that's between the players and the manager. But it was good for us. It gave us a boost," Cisse said of the situation.
"He got me a bit annoyed and I wanted to show him that I can score goals and work hard. He found the right words at half-time."
Meanwhile, Cisse says he was not affected by the rumours ahead of the game that Keane had quit the club, although he admits some of the players had been discussing the situation.
He added to the Sunderland Echo: "Some of the players talked about the rumours that the boss was quitting. I don't really have any interest in those sort of rumours.
"Roy Keane is really important to that plan. He is someone with a lot of passion, a lot of desire to achieve great things for the club. He's a great model for a manager. He played at the top level. He knows how players work and think."

Preceding this year's GRC on Mitochondria and Chloroplasts, a Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar (GRS) will be held to give graduate students and postdocs the opportunity to discuss the fascinating biology of these organelles. This should be a great opportunity to present and debate the research we are doing without being intimidated by the presence of senior investigators. We can feel free to ask any kind of questions about aspects we are not familiar with and therefore, the GRS will be a valuable preparation in order to benefit fully from the GRC that follows.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are not only the energy transforming organelles that supply the cell with ATP and reducing power. More recently, their importance in a variety of biological processes has become apparent, from ageing to apoptosis, signaling to redox homeostasis. The field of mitochondria and chloroplasts covers a wide variety of biological questions, model organisms and practical applications, and will be a great source of exciting discussions. In the frame of the GRS, let's come together to exchange and discuss our current research on mitochondria and chloroplasts!

Given that the United States (U.S.) has the most sedentary and obese population in the history of the world, per capita health care costs are twice those of any other developed nation yet longevity of Americans is the lowest 10% of those countries, and academic medical have done a dismal job of teaching nutrition and exercise, all of which has occurred on the watch of the American Medical Association and academic medical centers, the latter should be held accountable. One way to do this would be to cut Medicare reimbursements 50% for failure to teach relevant topics such as nutrition and exercise as well as for overused medical procedures such as coronary stents, CT scans, back surgery etc..
herbert gladen, md
Sounds great! Complete federal government control over medical education would no doubt lead to great efficiency. I think we should make those money-grubbing doctors pay their own way -- $300,000 average indebtedness for medical school is a pittance! Of course, we could have the Trial Attorneys contribute too, for the production of their fodder. We don't even need any surgeons -- just change the acronym CRNA to mean "Cutting RN Angels"..
Registered Nurse APRN
These monies have not been used for what they are intended, nor have they contributed to retaining MDs in the rural areas of New England. The healthcare system could use these enormous monies much more effective ways that actually reach the patient population. Academic Medical Centers use this to pack their coffers and do very little to bring this back into the community..
Justin Hamlin, DO
How many actual experts were on this "expert panel?" My guess is none. Media organizations like MedPage need to stop qualifying the unqualified..

MORE than 20 new homes could still be built in Fairford after members of the district council's planning committee voted to visit the prospective site before making a final decision.
The application for 22 new homes on land close to Saxon Way generated a heated discussion with several members drawing attention to Fairford's already over-capacity sewage system.
Cllr Barry Fenby, of Fairford Town Council, urged the committee to refuse the application and reminded members that, while this application was only for a small number of homes, it must be considered in conjunction with other recently approved plans.
Last month the committee granted planning permission for 120 homes to be built in Fairford despite refusing it earlier in the year.
It was also heard during the meeting that Cotswold District Council had received 35 letters of objection the Fairford Preservation Trust, the majority of which focussed on the issue of flooding in the town.
Cllr Ray Theodoulou drew parallels with his argument from the previous planning meeting and said that Fairford's sewage system is at breaking point.
He said: "The whole infrastructure needs to be addressed before new houses are permitted. This type of saturation building is putting places in Fairford under immense strain."
An objection against the homes was submitted by Quenington Parish Council which said that amenities in Fairford such as schools, parking and the doctors' surgery, which are used by people in the surrounding villages, would be oversubscribed.
Members went against the officer's recommendation to permit and chose to hold out on making a final decision until after they had a chance to view the suitability of the location.

I've always loved the little details of a gorgeous house–the tiny trim pieces, or the leaded glass windows. This particular shot reminded me of playing in the yard as a child. In the winter time, the sun set before dinner, so when the time came to head in, the house had this unearthly blue glow that made the warm light from inside so much more inviting.
Tag: Edwardian
(Sub)Urban Decay
I took a walk through suburban Berkeley at dusk. There's a great moment, right as the sun sets, and the scattered light from the sky lights up every window. Try clicking on this photo and viewing the full size–there's a different interesting reflection in almost every window of the house. The Edwardian architecture that influenced many of Berkeley's older homes is on display in this photo, though it's a shame to see such a beautiful house a bit run-down.
While I was walking, I also met these young gentlemen. They wanted me to take their picture, and I agreed to post it on the blog for them.

'"I'm not the same as I was when I was 25 or even 29," says the now 35-year-old. "I get about 25 minutes a game, not 30 or 35 like when I was younger. That's about right. I play on the penalty killing units now too and that takes a lot out of you, you're moving all the time when you're doing that, but it's a part of the game and I like it."'

Dr. Grant Stevens office is one of the most professional offices I've ever visited. From the first time I stepped through the front door I was greeted with smiling faces and caring personnel. The front office is efficient and friendly. I've been a patient at Dr. Stevens office for seven or more years. It's hard to remember because now I've become part of their family. The first procedure I had was permanent make-up. Lilia is wonderful and I was so pleased with the outcome. Now I wake up in the morning and already have eyeliner, lipstick and beautiful eyebrows. It doesn't get better than that.
I was a small woman with large breasts. (30F). Now I'm a small woman with beautiful breasts. Just like when I was in my twenties. Dr. Stevens did a Breast Reduction and lift. From start to finish it was a wonderful experience , starting with my consultation with Dr. Stevens, planning my surgery with Charlie, the best office manager anyone could have and my nurse Patrice, caring and compassionate. By the way I'm now a 30C and couldn't be happier.
I always said I would never have Botox. Well never say never. I love Botox, Dysport and I love Carla one of Dr. Stevens PA's.. She is an artist. I always look natural which is very important to me and Carla. After having Botox for a couple years Carla convinced me to use filler under my eyes because I was starting to get dark sunken circles which always made me look tired.
I was nervous about the procedure. My husband dropped me off at the office and one hour later I looked 10 years younger. My husband could not believe the difference . And trust me he wasn't thrilled I was doing this because he loves me just the way I am. And now to relaxation. What a great facial I get from Ann. My skin looks great and she even dyes my eyelashes so I don't have to wear mascara. Oh, I almost forgot about Cool Sculpting. I now have a flat stomach and my love handles ( which my husband loved) are hard to find. I want to say thank you to all my family at Dr. Stevens Office for making 64 look like 44.

Rockband Special Edition for the 360. Probably the most fun someone can have pretending to be a rock star. The special edition contains all of the cool gear, like the guitar, drumset and the microphone so that all you have to do is plug and play. Rock on!
paoakalani's recommendation
I cannot tell you how much time we've spent playing this game. My family loves it. My son plays the bass guitar (he's 9), I sing, and my bf plays the drums. We just bought it this past weekend and it's all the boys ever talk about. I love the way this helps us work together and have fun in the process. It's great fun. Highly recommend this!!!

SOOO much fun! Great party game! Really fun to play with a group of friends and see who excels at what instrument. Lots of fun songs can be downloaded and make for great times with buddies.
JustEliana's recommendation
This way all the socially awkward kids who go to small schools (I went to one its ok to admit), can pretend like they are socializing and being fun when really they are still just playing video games. Rockband acts as a disguise.

Codesterz's recommendation
A great game for bringing in new people to the music genre of games. Great for parties.
cole112's recommendation
This is the way you want to buy RB. The bundle makes the game so much more fun. Either alone or with friends.

For 31 years, there's been a Calderon in the state Legislature.
It's spurred talk of dynasty from their enemies but that talk is mostly poo-poohed by the Calderons themselves.
However, the Calderon family has produced four state legislators, including the brothers, Charles, Ron and Tom and the youngest, Charles' son, Ian. In addition, Charles and Tom served on the Montebello school board as did Tom's late wife, Marisela."It's kind of our local version of the Kennedys or something," said Darrell Heacock, who served with Charles and Tom Calderon on the Montebello Unified School District Board of Education.
Now, the dynasty is under fire as FBI agents Tuesday served a search warrant and spent hours at Ron Calderon's state offices. And there is suspicion that it could be related to brother Tom for his former contract with the Central Basin Municipal Water District
Neither Charles nor Ian Calderon returned phone calls seeking comment for the story. Ron and Tom have not returned calls seeking comment on the FBI search warrant.
Heacock, said he's sorry for Ron.
"I don't know what these accusations are but I hope he survives them OK," said Heacock who served on the Montebello school board from 1977-97.
Heacock attributes the Calderon's political success to organization.
"They're really winning type of people," he said. "They made people feel like you want to be on their team."
However, the Calderons have enemies.
One is Montebello Councilman Frank Gomez.
"If proven true, it is a better day for the citizens of the region and especially for Montebello who have suffered for decades by misrepresentation at the council and state level," said Gomez of potential charges against the Calderons.
"The San Gabriel Valley has for many years been a playground for elected officials to be on the government dole providing little to no substantial legislation for the people of the region," he said. The actions of the Calderon brothers are endemic to many of the local and state officials of the area.
The Calderon "dynasty" got its start in 1979 when a 29-year-old lawyer named Charles Calderon was elected to the Montebello school board.
Three years later, Calderon won a contested race for the state Assembly and became the first Latino attorney in the state Legislature.
Calderon became a player among Democratic ranks becoming majority whip.
But in 1988, Calderon and four other Assembly members "" the so-called "Gang of Five," ran afoul of then-Speaker Willie Brown.
Brown stripped Calderon and his allies, who had accused Brown of being too liberal, of their committee posts.
Calderon said he was arguing for "middle-of-the-road" politics. Calderon was never successful in ousting Brown, but in 1990 he was elected to the state Senate.
Three years later, brother Tom won his first office when he was elected to the Montebello school board 1993.
In 1998, Charles was termed out from the state Senate and ran for state Attorney General. He was unsuccessful and went back to practicing law.
Tom Calderon kept the family in the state Legislature when he was elected to the Assembly that same year. His wife, Marcella followed him onto the Montebello school board, serving until her death in 2012.
Four years later he ran for state Insurance Commissioner and lost.
Again, this time it was a third brother, Ron Calderon, who won a seat in the state Assembly.
In 2006, Ron Calderon was elected to the state Senate and brother Charles came back and won his brother's state Assembly seat.
In 2012, Charles' son, Ian, won his father's Assembly seat.
They often had to win competive Democratic primary elections but are in districts that are considered "safe seats."
Tom Calderon defeated a water board member in 1998. In 2002, Ron Calderon defeated Chuck Fuentes, who was then Rep. Grace Napolitano's chief of staff, and in 2006 defeated then-Assemblyman Rudy Bermudez, D-Norwalk.
When Charles Calderon came back in 2006, he ran against two local council members and a school board member.
The issue of a "Calderon dynasty" was raised in most of the races.
But Charles Calderon had this response:
"How can you have a dynasty in a democracy?' he asked. "Ron has to stand for election. I have to stand for election. If people don't want us, they won't vote for us. If they do want us to represent them, they'll vote for us.'
Whittier Councilman Bob Henderson said the family works well together.
"They've built up a political organization centered primarily around Montebello but certainly around the area," Henderson said. "They have developed some credentials. I think Chuck did a very good job in the Assembly the first time he was up there."
Montebello Councilman Bill Molinari said it was Charles who set the standard and reputation for the rest of the family members.
"Chuck established a very positive foundation," Molinari said. "He was confident and respected as a legislator. The other brothers had the advantage of name recognition."
Former state Sen. Martha Escutia, D-Whittier, said Charles Calderon played a key role in giving advise to younger legislators like herself.
"I remember having meetings with Antonio Villaraigosa and (Cruz) Bustamante trying to put a (vote for) speakership together," Escutia said. "The guy giving us the advice was Chuck. He was giving us lessons he had learned."
Still, there have been some bumps in the road for the Calderon family.
Chuck and Ron both have been accused of using campaign funds for personal use.
The Fair Political Practices Commission fined Charles Calderon $18,000 in 2001 for treating himself, his then-fiancee and his two children to a $3,533 vacation at a Lake Tahoe resort casino in 1996, and spending $507 to rent a limousine for the 1997 premiere of the Jim Carrey comedy "Liar, Liar."
Newspaper articles later detailed how Ron Calderon has used much of campaign money for restaurants, hotels, purchases at women's clothing stores and other items.
The family also lost its first race in the state Legislature in 2012 when Tom Calderon was defeated. His nephew, did win.
Tom Calderon also has been in the news since he was hired as a consultant at Central Basin Municipal Water District, only weeks after leaving office in 2002. He's supposedly been paid more than $700,000 over that time and has been accused of using influence to gain contracts.

Starbucks to anchor Ban Tara retail center
It appears that a retail center with room for up to seven businesses will be the first occupant of the Ban Tara commercial development.
The Hudson City Council approved final plans for the 9,990-square-foot building Monday night.
Starbucks Coffee will be the anchor tenant, and is the only tenant that has been announced so far, Community Development Director Dennis Darnold said in a written communication to council members.
The developers of the 10-lot commercial subdivision, Ban Tara LLC partners David Robson and Brian Zeller, intend to retain ownership of the retail center, Darnold reported to the council. The partners may construct a second building on the parcel in the future, he said.
Mayor Jack Breault complimented Robson, who was in attendance, on the design of the retail center.
Robson said the building is scheduled for completion in December.
Thursday night, the city's Plan Commission will review concept development plans for a new 5,250-square-foot Perkin's Restaurant in the Ban Tara development.

Veterans working at SWTJC, as well as veterans enrolled in classes, were honored Nov. 8 on the Uvalde campus with a luncheon in remembrance of Veteran's Day. PHOTO GALLERY
Prior to the luncheon, an NJROTC Color Guard from Uvalde High School posted the colors and SWTJC student Edie Salas sang The National Anthem. SWTJC staff member Rosie Arellano played Taps and Catholic Club representative Thelma Martinez delivered the invocation.
SWTJC President Dr. Ismael Sosa, Jr., was the guest speaker. President Sosa told the stories of several friends and family members who made great sacrifices to their country by serving in the armed services during the Vietnam War and World War II.
"Most of us have no idea the sacrifices these men and women have made for all Americans," Sosa said. "On behalf of the college administration, faculty, staff and students, I thank each and every one of you for your service."
Lalo Zamora, Uvalde County Veteran's Service officer for Middle Rio Grande Workforce Solutions, made a short presentation outlining the services available and encouraging veterans to regularly check on updates to various veteran's benefits.
Diana Garcia, coordinator of the Educational Opportunity Center (EOC) Program at SWTJC, also highlighted services available to veterans through her office.

We've delved deep within our souls to bring you some of the gadgets and tech that we, the Stuff staff are thankful for. Why? Because it's Thanksgiving today and we thought it would be a better use of our time than watching cat videos on YouTube. Off we go...
Fraser Macdonald (Editor-at-large) – The bicycle – because it made me adventurous. Without it I'd be working for Dumfries' West Sound 96.5 and still playing D&D with my old school friends. (I kinda wish I was.)
Esat Dedezade (Staff Writer) – The Internet. Ok, so it's not a gadget per se and it's probably the most clichéd choice here, but seriously – who isn't thankful for boundless tomes of instant knowledge, time-sucking flash games and videos of animals pretending they're people? Could you live without all that? I couldn't.
Will Findlater (Editor) – Spotify. Without it, I may have become one of those people for whom new music stopped being exciting when I was 25. Mind you, it was better back then...
Stuff Office Cat (Office Cat) – I suppose I'm expected to say that I'm thankful for the scratching post that was given to me to stop me from ruining everyone's desk chairs. Well, I haven't been using it and the chair fabric has been cut to shreds, so that's that. Oh, and tuna. I am very thankful for tuna.
Paddy Smith (Online Editor) – Griffin Beacon/Dijit. It's overpriced and the app crashes, but when I instruct the Hi-Fi in the other room to start playing Sly and the Family Stone from my bed on a lazy Sunday morning, somehow that doesn't matter.
Tom Parsons (Reviews Editor) – My friend Oli's NES. I was just a poor boy from a poor family so without it I may never have become addicted to games and tech in general. Of course I might instead have applied myself more at school and could have ended up with a real job.
Stephen Graves (Online Deputy Editor) – The BBC iPlayer. Because now I don't have to write off Saturday evenings so that I can watch Doctor Who. Er, not that I did that before the iPlayer, you understand...
Adam White (Sub Editor) – The Nintendo 64. Without it, I would have had to leave the house and meet girls. (I kinda wish I had).
Got any gadgets your thankful for? Let us know in the comments below, or via Twitter.

Q : Hi. I'm fairly new to fantasy football and have my draft this Saturday. Everybody tells me that it's silly to pick a kicker early. Can you help? Thanks!
Barb T. - Iowa City, IA
Kickers often get their points based upon their team's inability to get the ball into the end-zone...which is very difficult to predict. Some kickers rise to the top through the course of the season, but making a preseason projection is a rarely winning gamble. It's much better to solidify your back-up running backs, quarterback, and wide receivers (where prediction of final fantasy statistics is much more accurate)...and wait until the last pick or two to grab a kicker.
Neil Rackers set a field goal record in 2005 with the Arizona Cardinals...and did it while missing a game. The Cardinals weren't thought to be a contender going into last season and Rackers was nowhere on fantasy radars, but those who got him late in their fantasy drafts (although probably a lucky selection) were highly rewarded.
Q : With 4 starting running backs, who do I pair with LT on opening day?
LaDainian Tomlinson, Kevin Jones, DeShaun Foster, Jamal Lewis
Chris P. - Newburgh, IN
Most drafts saw Jones going ahead of Foster due to Foster's history of injuries (and emerging rookie DeAngelo Williams), but I like Foster when healthy. Carolina has a strong run-based offense and Foster should put up nice numbers as long as he's able to stay in the line-up. Foster gets a nice match-up at home the first week against Atlanta.
Be sure to watch Jones closely in the first week or two and see what Mike Martz is able to do with Detroit's offense. Jamal Lewis is starting in Baltimore (for now), but his carries will be soon lost to Mike Anderson if he begins to falter.
Q : Hey fantasy freak - I could use some advice here. I'm not completely sold on my WR corps - I have Larry Fitzgerald, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Javon Walker, Ernest Wilford, Troy Williamson, and Kevin Curtis. With Stallworth's recent trad to the Eagles, would it be a good move to drop one of the last 3 guys and pick up Devery Henderson?
Would Brandon Stokley be a better WR3 to pickup than Kevin Curtis? Or perhaps a Raider receiver not named Moss or Porter (they were both drafted)?
Larry J. - Roscoe, IL
Actually, I like your receivers. If it's the weakest position on your team, then you must be a favorite to win your league.
I have Fitz ranked 4th and Housh/Walker in or near the top 20. Did you see T.J. on MNF this week? Palmer is going to throw 35 TDs this year and Houshmandzadeh will definitely get his share as teams lean on Chad Johnson (in fact, some believe Housh may get more).
I like your current bench WRs over the pick-up otpions that you listed. But if you are still unsatisfied, a trade may be in order. Although I don't know the rest of your team, it sometimes is good to make a 2 for 1 offer in these situations. I'd be careful about moving Housh or Walker unless it's for someone in the top ten, but it's often possible to package two solid guys for someone in the top tier. Take a look at your line-up and see if you have depth at QB (for example) and package a solid QB with one of your WRs for an upgrade at the position.
Good luck to you!
Q : Hi Freak! I've been wondering how the Eagles were going to have any kind of a passing game with their lack of quality WRs. And WHAM - they get Donte Stallworth! My draft is tomorrow (Fri) and I'm thinking of taking him. Do you think he'll do anything? Thanks in advance!
Byron F. - Boston, MA
Absoulutly. Stallworth will do something and likely be McNabb's top target. Stallworth continues to steadily improve and is in his contract year. Expect last year's totals of nearly 1000 yards and 7 TDs to increase by 25% as Stallworth connects with pass friendly McNabb and finds a better home in Philadelphia. We have moved Stallworth up our fantasy rankings (found on tab at top of any NFL Scout.com page) and will likely move him up further as the season progresses.
Q : Ok, I just finished my draft in a 12 man league, and my RBs are horrible (Jamal Lewis, Willie Parker, and Corey Dillon). First, do you think Jamal Lewis will do anything this year?? Second, is there any backup players who you believe I can pick up - and may be playing before long? Each one of my RBs' backups got picked right before I picked them, so any of those are out...
Shawn S. - Ohio
Hi Shawn. I agree with your weak running back analysis...but it doesn't have to be the end of the world.
Parker is probably your most stable of the lot, so I'd leave him alone. I recommend you try to trade for Lawrence Maroney or for Mike Anderson (backups for Dillon and Lewis). Try Maroney first since I like New England's team much better. It may mean a trade involving Lewis or packaging other players from your roster to get him (and his owner can't have Maroney valued that high since you have Dillon), but you definitely need to get Dillon's backup.
If a trade for Maroney doesn't work, then do something similar for Mike Anderson...but I wouldn't part with Dillon to do it. Dillon and Lewis may be okay this year, but I don't like either of their chances to last the full season and play for your team when it counts (the fantasy playoffs).
Q : I have my draft this weekend and want some advice on which running backs I should stay away from. I'll like your rankings and am planning on using them as a guide, but can you give me a few guys that are more risky?
Keith G. - Lincoln, NE
Hi Keith. Make sure you check the rankings immediately prior to your draft (as we update them daily).
Domanick Davis has fallen way off with lingering injuries in Houston and should be avoided. Greg Jones is out for the season. Clinton Portis' pre-season shoulder will not sideline him, but did prompt the Redskins to acquire T.J. Duckett from Atlanta...Duckett may take 4-6 goal-line TDs from Portis (knocking Portis from 5th to 9th in our fantasy rankings). Tiki Barber will again put up huge yardage, but his TDs will likely be limited to 10 or under this season (goal-line carries to Brandon Jacobs).
Running-back-by-committee (RBBC) and lack of a clear long-term starter (due to injury potential, competition at the position, and/or rookie studs pushing veterans) is an issue that exists on several NFL teams including: Indianapolis, Denver, New England, Baltimore, Carolina, New Orleans, Tennessee, Chicago, Jacksonville, Dallas, and Houston.
In some cases, it may be a good draft strategy to grab both backs (handcuff) on teams that may ultimately have a replacement at starting RB. This can often be done in the middle rounds and well after the top backs have been taken. In fact, a handcuff combination on a solid running team can be better than a number one on another team.
Think Foster/Williams - Carolina, Jones/Benson - Chicago, Dillon/Maroney - New England, Bell/Bell - Denver, McAllister/Bush - New Orleans, and Lewis/Anderson - Baltimore.
Hope that helps...Good luck in your draft this weekend!

Ligue 1: Franz Beckenbauer believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic could win the Ballon d'Or
Germany legend Franz Beckenbauer believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic could be a serious candidate for this year's Ballon d'Or.
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 25/10/13 5:53pm
The Swedish striker is currently a 40/1 outsider in Sky Bet's market for the coveted award, behind favourites Lionel Messi (10/11) and Franck Ribery (11/4).
But the PSG hot-shot impressed in notching four goals in his side's 5-0 UEFA Champions League thrashing of Anderlecht in midweek and Beckenbauer - who twice lifted the Ballon d'Or in 1972 and 1976 - definitely thinks he has a chance.
Beckenbauer told L'Equipe: "I have a soft spot for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He scores a lot of goals, but moreover they are all amazingly beautiful.
"He is among the three best forwards in the world, there is no question about it.
"Perhaps will he make a surprise for the Ballon d'Or, who knows? He would deserve it. However I believe Ribery remains top favourite."
The 1991 Ballon d'Or winner Jean-Pierre Papin is also impressed by the Parisian forward.
"Ballon d'Or? Since Wednesday's match it is possible. He impressed everyone with goals that got people's attention," he told L'Equipe.
"Marco van Basten got the 1992 Ballon d'Or after twice scoring four goals in one week with AC Milan against Gothenburg and Napoli."

Skin Hair - Poem by Merlin Mwaura
Skin Hair…
Where else does the earth rise?
settle down with a fall,
cover with strand...
after other strand,
of hair curl,
loom adversely,
along the length,
along the breadth....
of a man, woman
where it is delicate, where it is private...
pronounced an' concealed.
on the face above the eyes,
like a brush of feathers,
above the lip,
a moustache…
eloquently trim,
tweezed eye browses,
hair flock grace the neck,
onto the back.
Along the shin,
Along the skin,
Smooth touch rendered,
Chill rising the hair follicles,
Desire burn,
In the shower wet with soap,
Silk fiber strand,
Run through fingers of a lover,
Relishing the sensations erect,
Tiny hair, almost as fur…
Souring along the back,
Trough upon the skin,
Collect scent of a love scene.
The skin here dark,
Chocolate born,
Wind caress these, both hair an' skin
Creature so supreme,
Conquer all but this, delicate
Feather brush of skin against skin,
Hair rise here thin,
Space of a love gaze seen,
Hair on skin….

Human and Natural Influences on the Portland Landscapes
Geography Colloquium (GEOG 4/510)
Portland State University
The theme of the Fall Geography colloquium addresses the issue of human - landscape interactions as part of the ecology of an urban landscape.
Human settlement patterns strongly respond to the natural landscape, and with sufficient population and technology, humans greatly modify a landscape. Yet the fundamental natural processes that influence the natural landscape remain.
The goal of this colloquium is to examine interactions between humans and landscape in the urban setting of Portland, Oregon, to better understand why the urban area has evolved to its present state, and hopefully identify the important challenges for a sustainable future.
