That lucky spatula has been getting more attention than me lately!
Welcome to Miami!
Yes, you heard me correctly, we're going to Miami, wine and burger lovers! We are taking the biggest and most delicious burger competition ever and bringing it to paradise.
And what better time to switch things up than for our 20th anniversary? Twenty years of burger-lovin' fun – now that's a LOT of grilling...grilling that is very near and dear to my little heart (and stomach – yum)! And of course, because we're so darn excited about all of the burger madness that will be going on in September, we decided to make it just a little bit bigger and little bit better this year.
Now that you're in on our little secret, the only thing left for you to do is wait for the announcement that YOUR burger was the BEST burger (or at least in the top 10, right?). And while you're waitin'…why not keep on telling us about all of your burger secrets?
Make sure to follow Build a Better Burger on Twitter, Sutter Home on Twitter, and of course the Sutter Home and Build a Better Burger Facebook pages. What better way is there to keep in touch? Plus, you get the bonus of finding things out first (I'd say that's a pretty sweet deal, don't you think?)
Now, before I head out, answer me this:
What are you gonna be bringin' to Miami with you this year? (besides your grilling hands)
Cheers, wine and burger lovers!

Haha, Carolina, mi amor, but I know you love what has come off of that spatula. I promise that on August 20, if my burger is not selected, we'll take a burger break! But if it is, brace yourself...
@Max: You have a lucky spatula too? We'll have to compare our secret weapons!
I will bring My wife and a camera to remember the people I get to know. Good Luck and see ya in Miami!!
I would bring my fishing poles. Sun glasses would be good under the sun to. I would bring my brother along as well. Might even bring some of my homemade pickles and jalapeno jelly.
I would bring my husband who supports me in everything I do and the biggest smile you've ever seen 'cause I won't be able to stop smiling if my recipe gets chosen!!!
Of course my dear boyfriend is coming along. He was my # 1 taster! I don't think I will be using my swim suit since I have been indulging way to much on burgers this past month hehehe! But summer dresses are a must, sunscreen and my camera. Can't wait to meet everyone that made it to the finals, well that is if I am one of them as well! ;)
If i were to be picked as a finalist, i would bring my beautiful children, my husband, my favorite skirt and lots of luck!
I'll bring my Tuxedo!
Whoo Hoo! Can travel light....swimsuit, shades, cold drink coozie and recipe! Hope to see ya'll in Sunny Florida! Good Luck to all!
Well, if i'm selected as a finalist, first, i'm bringing my wife! Then i'm bringing my daughter's good luck spatula. after that, it really doesn't matter!!...just hoping i get chosen! Was really looking forward to going to napa valley, but i'd go just about anywhere if it meant being a finalist. Hope my inspiration of turning a classic turduckhen into a burger is a winner in the eyes of the judges!! And good luck to all the others who entered!
Let's see.........should I be one of the finalists? I'd bring my Husband, who is also my "guinea pig"...I'm always making him try new recipes and some sunscreen! Can't wait to see all of the delicious recipes that made the grade this year! Congrats to all of the winners......Miami will be awesome! The cook-off is about 1 month before my 60th birthday.......what better way to celebrate???
I will be bringing with me to Miami lots of good luck, many blessings and loads of confidence from my family and friends. A bottle of Chardonnay wine and last but not least big hugs for everyone who entered this awesome contest.
I would bring three things: (1) my girlfriend, the beautiful muse who inspired my burger, (2) my trusty lucky spatula, which I have used to flip burgers for almost a decade, and (3) my spanish guitar, so I can relax, eat burgers, sip wine, and play guitar with the other participants on the beach!
I can't wait to see who the judges will be for this special event. I am hopeing and praying I get to cook my burger for them!!!!! I would bring my wonderful husband who has done so many taste test for me. If I get there we could enjoy a great meal and wine together under a beautiful Miami sunset.
I'll be bringing my sweet hubby to cheer me on, some flip flops, a few sundresses and a swimsuit...what else would I need :-)
Well, if my burger gets picked, I will be bringing my husband and my swimming suit, and we can celebrate our wedding anniversary.
I stayed at my Grandmother's alot growing up and enjoyed many tasty Italian meals. One of those that brings back memories was her peppers and eggs. She would fry those peppers until the room filled with their sweet, spicy and hot aroma. Then, when the peppers were nice and soft and tipped with browned edges she would add beaten eggs to the peppers. We would slice Italian bread put a little olive oil on it and add the peppers and eggs. So good.....
So, I thought it would make a great addition to my burger. The combination seems a little strange, but the taste is out of this world. Hope Grandma brings me good luck!
What will I bring to Miami - Grandma's Good Luck!
Several pairs of stretchable pants , A notebook & pen, a digital camera. There are so many awesome places to eat that I'm going to need the extra room! The notebook & pen are for writing down more burger recipe inspirations, the camera for capturing the memories
If I'm lucky enough to be one of the finalist, I'll bring a hugh smile and a big "HOWDY" from Aggieland, TX.
WOW that's great! I suppose it would be nice to go to Miami. However, if I am one of the winners I would preferred to go to Napa Valley and visit that beautiful wine paradise. But I will take Miami in a heart beat! ;)
So, even if I was born in the States, I carry deeply my Creole/Caribbean heritage. My parents are from the Dominican Republic and one my of favorite people that lived on this earth was Cuban. I was raised eating the best of the best "Comida Criolla" Creole Food.
One of my recipes is called Cuban Fusion Burger Blast, "Cuban Sandwich meet Burger" with a little black bean surprise I created a Fusion of delectable tastes.
I hope they like it, so see you in Miami. :)))
Sunscreen, my dancin' shoes, and camera to capture an amazing time that is certain to be had by all!
I'm bringing plenty of shorts, short-sleeved shirts, my comfy sandals - and plenty of spending money for local ingredients!
If I get picked that is! I hope, I hope, I hope!
Wow! I can't believe the competition is going to be held in Miami this year. You are really going all out for the 20th anniversary! I can't wait to see the list of who is competing this year and their recipes.
I forgot to mention one item that I'd bring with me should I be a finalist.......I'd bring my antique hand-crank meat grinder.....can't beat the texture of ground meat that you get from one of those grinders. Of course, it weighs a TON! Just have to hope I can get thru airport security with it!
Miami??! In the middle of hurricane season? Good luck with that! As a north FL girl, I would so prefer Napa.
I really wanted to get into the top ten so that I could get a trip to California. I think I will have to bring the nice car since it is really right down the street from me. My odds of getting in just went up 1000%. I am not sure they realize that it is 90 degrees in Miami with 95% humidity in September. I built a grill in my house so that I did not have to grill outside in the summer!
i WILL BRING MY HUSBAND AND MY PAMPERED CHEF FOOD CHOPPER FOR THE ONIONS THAT ARE IN MY BURGER...'NUFF SAID ABOUT THAT...DON'T WANNA GIVE AWAY TOO MANY SECRETS. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE ENTRANTS....MAY THE BEST BURGERS WIN AND MAY MINE BE ONE OF THEM!!!
Sorry about the caps!:-)

This Rocker is so rich looking and is also very comfortable. Easy to put together and compliments the Fiddleheads Trellis very nicely.
- Easy to assemble
- Looks Fantastic
Best Uses
A great addition to our garden.
Very easy to assemble. It actually took longer to open the box and cut it up for recycle than to put the rocker together. Sturdy construction and yes, a beautiful addition to my backyard.
I would like to know if there is a cushion that fits this rocker.
- Good paint job
- Overall Good Quality
- 45 min to fix
- Misdrilled hole
- You'll need rattail file
Best Uses
- Comfortable to sit in
One hole was off about 1/4 inch, making it impossible to put together at that juncture. The rest of the rocker fit together beautifully. Had to use a rattail file to enlarge the hole so we could insert the screw. Other than that, I'm very pleased with the product.
- Comfortable
- Sturdy
- Unique
Best Uses
I just love this rocker! It looks fantastic in the yard under a tree and is very comfortable. I like the idea that I don't have cushions to deal with or replace. It's expensive and I hope it will last for years but time will tell. It's very easy to put together and only took 7 minutes. It's sturdy and easy to move for yard work. I'm very happy I purchased this and don't think I'll have any regrets.

A bill moving through the Assembly would require UCLA and UC Berkeley to break with decades' worth of tradition and begin paying stipends to their student athletes.
Assemblywoman Cheryl Brown, D-San Bernardino, introduced the bill to address what she and the bill's sponsors consider to be an inequity within the world of college athletics - the fact that big-time schools can sign lucrative licensing deals for their sports programs while the athletes themselves may struggle to pay living expenses.
As currently written, Brown's bill only applies to public universities that earn at least $20 million per year in licensing fees for various products, such as replica jerseys or appearances in video games. That leaves out every public university in California except for UCLA and UC Berkeley. If the bill passes, those two schools would be required to provide full five-year scholarships to students who receive athletic scholarships as well as $3,600 stipends to be paid from media rights and licensing revenues.
"We just think it was fair to give them living expenses. It's not a salary," said Brown, adding that her bill is intended to give students who begin attending college on a one-year scholarship will be able to afford to finish their studies if they cannot play sports during their entire time in school.
"Why not sign them up for five years, so that they'll have some stability?," the assemblywoman asked.
Representatives for the NCAA and UCLA could not be reached for comment Monday. UC Berkeley and the Pacific 12 Conference said they had no comment as of Monday on Brown's bill.
The question remains whether the NCAA would consider any UCLA or Cal athletes who receive a stipend to be amateurs, and thus eligible for play, under the organization's rules.
It's also possible that the NCAA may sue the state to prevent Brown's bill from going into effect, if it indeed passes.
"I don't know if they've taken an official position on this, but I imagine they would file a lawsuit to enjoin California from implementing this law," said Michael McCann, professor at University of New Hampshire School of Law and a sports law columnist for Sports Illustrated.
Brown called attention to her bill as sports fans awaited the finale to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, popularly known as "March Madness." The Louisville Cardinals and Michigan Wolverines earned the right to compete in Monday's title game, but the Cardinals went to the championship round without player Kevin Ware, who broke his leg on live television during an earlier match against the Duke Blue Devils.
In the wake of Ware's injury, Adidas began selling a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan "Ri5e to the Occasion" and Ware's number, 5, substituting for the letter "s" in the word "Rise."
Although the shirt is no longer available for sale on Louisville's website, a sales description stated the shirt was "created as a respectful tribute" to Ware and that a portion of sales would be donated to Louisville's scholarship fund.
In a statement, Brown decried Adidas' decision to sell the shirt in the first place was unconscionable and that she was pleased the garment has been pulled from sales.
An Adidas spokeswoman told USA Today the shirts had been pulled from sales due to a "logo issue. "
The question of whether scholarships are sufficient compensation for student athletes has been asked for years before anyone took offense to this particular T-shirt.
The National College Players Association, founded by former UCLA football player Ramogi Huma, sponsored Brown's bill. Huma said student athletes need financial benefits beyond their scholarships to afford basic living expenses such as parking and school supplies, and that he was inspired to found the NCPA after teammate Donnie Edwards was suspended for accepting groceries.
"It's definitely tough to get by. A lot of players put expenses on credit cards. Some players break the rules. It's a tough situation to be in," Huma said.
Huma suggested that if the idea of stipends is unacceptable to the NCAA, the organization could change its scholarship policy to include expenses that are not presently covered.
Brown's bill, A.B. 475, has passed the Assembly Rules Committee by unanimous vote. It's next stop is the Higher Education Committee.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed California's existing Student-Athlete Bill of Rights last year. That law required California universities earning more than $10 million per year in media revenues provide equivalent scholarships to student athletes who lose their ability to play due to injury as well as those who exhaust their NCAA eligibility before completing their degree, among other provisions.
The 2012 law was written by state Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Pacoima. Due to its media revenue threshold, it applies to only UCLA, USC, UC Berkeley and Stanford.

Schluter-JOLLY is a tile edging profile designed to lend both functional protection and a touch of elegance to the outside corners of tiled surfaces. This JOLLY PG 80 profile is designed to be used with thin-set and self-leveling mortar, minimising the influence of excess mortar on the finished look of the tile. The pvc profile is engineered with durability and longevity in mind and will give your tile the edge protection it needs for years to come, while the brilliant classic grey finish adds a touch of sophistication to any building.
Product Features
Integrated Joint Spacer
Schluter-JOLLY profiles feature a built-in joint spacer. This establishes a defined joint cavity between the tile and the profile, allowing mortar to expand more easily and reducing the chance of future stress fractures in the mortar or tile.
Pure PVC Construction
This profile is constructed from pvc, giving it the durability it needs to last for many years without the worry of breakage or bending.
Trapezoidal Anchor Pattern
Schluter-JOLLY profiles use an alternating trapezoidal pattern of anchoring holes for adherence to mortar. This pattern gives optimal movement stability in all directions.
Brilliant Classic Grey Finish
The classic grey finish on the PG 80 profile gives your tile an extra touch of class and sophistication.

The history of snow sports is one of tragedy, folly and regret. But some things hurt more than others.
I'm not talking about that Yugoslavian dude who characterized the opening "agony of defeat" sequence on ABC's Wide World of Sports in the 1970s. Or the Marine Corps jet pilot who slashed a gondola line with his wing tip in Italy and turned 20 jolly skiers into a gravity-assisted mess of blood and bones in the cold snow. Or Bode Miller talking himself up at the Winter Olympics before choking like a kitten tangling with a nuclear hair ball. And I'm definitely not talking about Taos opening up its slopes to snowboarders last year.
No, I'm talking about the Angel Fire ski resort killing its shovel racing event in 2005 after 30 fun-filled years of mayhem and drunken horror. I'm not one to reduce issues to the juvenile, but—seriously—what boners.
And all because of "liability."
When a legal adult cannot take a sharp-edged tool with a long, hardwood handle, sit on it and hurl down a mountainside at speeds in excess of 70 miles per hour, we can be certain that America is not what it used to be.
Our legal system may be able to rightfully claim credit for significant advances in civil rights and the occasional turn of actual justice, but the whole idea of the United States as the land of the free and the home of the brave died with the first frivolous lawsuit. The notion of liability has been whittling our fighting spirit into gooey unpalatable slop ever since.
It's true the British coined the term "nanny state," but they are an island of people whom God has punished by making them pasty, politically inept and confused by snow sports. No, the US is the true nanny state—we carry riders on our homeowners insurance in case our friends sue us for slipping on our doorsteps. We suspend Cub Scouts from school for packing their knife/fork/spoon sets into the classroom. We ban gel insoles from being worn on airplane flights. If we could bolt training wheels to young pedestrians, we would do it. In fact, failure to do so would be punishable by fines and/or imprisonment.
But to create an environment in which it's financially untenable for ski resorts to allow us to race our buddies down steep, icy hills while sitting on shovels is just inexcusable.
Fortunately, there's one American attribute that lawyers can never take from us: the instinctual knowledge that if you can't do something stupid and dangerous in public, you can always sneak off into the woods and do it far away from boring safety nazis and emergency rescue services.
At this point, you may be asking yourself if racing shovels is really a good idea. A snow shovel is a handy tool, no doubt. But its blade is supposed to go down into the snow rather than downhill handle first, right? Well, that's the kind of attitude that's rotting this nation. Shovel racing is the working-class sport of our forefathers. Rocky Mountain coal miners in 19th century Colorado used to descend from a hard day at the mines by hopping on their shovels and letting precipitous drops do the work for them, ice glistening in the dim glow of their mining lanterns all the while.
Modern shovel racing was popularized after lift operators at Angel Fire Resort discovered what their coal-mining forebears had: a fast way down the mountain. Lifties, of course, are notorious stoners, so naturally the shovel racers competed in the Winter X Games as part of an assault on the Winter Olympics. Shovel racing was never invited back. Depending on whom you talk to, it's because the sport was either too extreme or too boring.
John Schrader, aka, Shovelmeister—shovel racing's most notorious record holder, advocate and speed aficionado—once reminded NPR's Scott Simon that America's first mass-media encounter with shovel racing was in the opening sequence of Jimmy Stewart's 1946 film It's A Wonderful Life. Anyone who thinks there's something more American than coal mining and Jimmy Stewart should just admit that they're working with the Taliban right now.
Here's the kicker. A quality snow shovel, say an Ames Co. Steel Scoop, is going to come in at approximately $42. Compare that with a snowboard or a set of skis or even a child's toboggan. Some may argue that a large rubber inner tube is even cheaper and can double as a lazy-river navigating tool in the summer months. True enough, but you can't shovel your walk or build an igloo with an inner tube, and no self-respecting coal miner would be caught using one to finish off a wintry shift.
Don't be tempted by a cheaper plastic or aluminum shovel. You'll want the steel, not only for its keister-coddling strength, but also because the classic speed-increasing waxes—like ski wax, car wax or pork fat—adhere better. Don't try to stand on the shovel, it's not a magic carpet. And don't try to straddle it like Harry Potter does with his magic sex broom; instead, point the handle downhill with the shovel head's flattest surface on the snow. Sit down in the scoop of the shovel with one leg on either side of the handle and your heels dug in to keep you from sliding. Fight the instinct to grab the handle as some kind of steering lever or phallic security splinter. Lay backward as though you are reclining on a luge. Take a deep breath. Point your feet down the hill. Go.
At this point, you might suddenly recall that people routinely achieve highway speeds while sitting on shovels. If you see that you are heading for trees, cliffs, traffic-filled roads, angry pit bulls or someone who's going to give you a talking to, use your hands as outriggers for gentle steering inputs. If you oversteer and end up sliding headfirst, chances are the shovel blade will dig in and flip you over backward and the hardwood handle will smack you on the head. Then your friends will laugh at you, as will the spirits of coal miners past. In fact, America will laugh at you.
That's OK, though. You can laugh too. It's just riding a shovel down a hill.
And doing it faster than your friends.

text: I've said it before and will say it again: Mike and Kyle Shanahan are mortgaging the Redskin's future by letting RGIII run. If they want him to be known as someone other than the really talented but always injured guy who was drafted right after Andrew Luck, they better turn him into a pocket passer only. No one runs the option in the NFL for a good reason, it is too gimmicky and can result in substantial injury at the highest level of football. Given their incompetence of the past decade or so, I can see the Redskins screwing this up. People in DC love RGIII and want a ticket tape parade for him now but in their euphoria don't seem to understand the risks of using RGIII like they are using him.

Richard Shankman: You seem to teach a form of jhana that is much more
readily accessed than that taught by many other teachers.
Leigh Brasington: We don't really know for certain what the Buddha was teaching as jhanas, although I strongly suspect that the Buddha was teaching deeper concentration than I do. Over time I have learned that there are a number of different methods. The methods generally have two things you can optimize -- but only one at a time. The first is the ease of accessibility and the other is the depth of concentration. So if the question is, why am I teaching what 1 am teaching as the jhanas, I would say that the level at which I teach them seems to be the level at which laypeople can 'learn them and use them effectively. In other words, I'm giving up some of the depth of concentration for case of learning. Given that lay people are going on ten-day, two-week, maybe month-long retreats, what
can be taught in that period of time that can enhance students' practice
by enhancing their concentration?
RS: It sounds as though you are saying that there can be a range of depth
of samadhi associated with any given jhana state. That what constitutes
jhana is only partially the strength of concentration, but more the other
associated factors.
LB: That's right. Although it would be good If' students were learning the jhanas at a deeper level, I'm not going to say, "Well, since you can't do it at value 100, we're going to dismiss anything you do at value 50 or 25."
It turns out that any amount of concentration as a warm-up to insight is helpful. And given that students are stumbling into states that have the jhana factors and that they are generally stumbling in at approximately the level of concentration at which I'm teaching, it seems like it's a natural level to teach to laypeople. If someone wants to learn the jhanas at a deeper level, then they are going to need to dedicate more time to working with the jhanas, such as finding a long-term intensive retreat environment.
My hunch is that the level of concentration that the Buddha was teaching cannot be achieved on a retreat of less than a month and, furthermore, cannot be achieved in forty-five-minute sitting periods: My own experience has shown me depths of concentration that do more closely match the experiences described in the suttas, but these can only be attained with long sitting periods of three or four hours, and on a long retreat of a month or more.
RS: Why do you think there's so much disagreement about what the jhanas are and how they are taught?
LB: Partially, it's because there are three major sources of jhana material, all of which are incomplete. There are the suttas in which the descriptions of the jhanas are very simple. There is no-how-to in the suttas, thus leaving them open for quite a broad range of interpretation. Since Pali is not even a currently spoken language, many questions cannot be definitively answered. For example, what does "vitakka" really mean in the context of the jhanas? This leads to people interpreting this sparse material in different, yet internally consistent ways.
A second source is the Abhidhamma, which interprets the jhanas differently from what you find in the suttas. There you find a scheme of five Jhanas covering the same territory as covered by four jhanas in the suttas. Finally, you have the Visuddhimagga, which gives quite a different interpretation from what you find in the suttas; a much deeper level of concentration is being taught.
So we have different schemes in the literature, and it depends to some extent on where someone is learning the jhanas, whom they're learning them from, and what literature is being used in that tradition. This material has been preserved for up to 2,500 years, with people making little tweaks along the way and not necessarily communicating with one another, and that has also led to different interpretations.
RS: Could you outline basically how you understand what those differences are?
LB: In the suttas, the jhanas are described most of the time using a standard formula. The standard formula for the first jhana has four factors one-pointedness is not mentioned. There are just the four factors of vitakka, vicara, piti, and sukha.
The formula for the second jhana indicates that the vitakka and vicara fall away, and they're replaced with inner tranquility and oneness of mind; so now the concentration comes in and the piti and sukha continue. Thus the suttas describe four factors for the second jhana as well.
The third jhana says one remains imperturbable, mindful, and clearly aware. Imperturbability, mindfulness, and clear awareness have come into play, although what is not specifically mentioned is when they arrived. They're just there. The formula indicates that the piti goes away and the sukha remains; there is no specific mention of the tranquility or the oneness of mind, so since they aren't said to go away, one assumes that they remain, So you actually have many mare factors for the third jhana.
The shift to the fourth jhana is to a place beyond pleasure and pain, beyond gladness and sadness; so one arrives at a neutral mind-state. The sukha is obviously gone, since the pleasure has gone away.
When you look at this description, it's not really a factor-based description. The whole idea of a factor-based description probably comes from the Abhidhamma, where they started breaking things into pieces and analyzing them in a great deal of detail.
Now, there are a few suttas, perhaps three, where you can find five factors for the first jhana, where one-pointedness is introduced as a fifth factor, But these are in the minority, for sure, and tend to be what is referred to as "later suttas." On the whole, the jhanas are described quite differently in the suttas than in the later literature.
The word jhana means "to meditate," so when the Buddha tells his monks, "There are empty huts, roots of trees, go meditate," he's saying "go jhana." Everybody was doing jhana. If you look at the Visuddhimagga, the description of the states has reached a point of extreme concentration. In fact, it gives the odds that only one in one hundred million, at best, can reach absorption. But in the suttas, you find large numbers of people becoming absorbed.
What's being talked about in the Visuddhimagga are very deep states of concentration. The definition of what constitutes a jhana has, in a thousand year period, progressed to a much deeper state.
We might ask how this happened. Think about who was preserving the Buddha's teaching during these thousand years. It's a bunch of guys hanging out in the woods -- no TV, no women. They've got just their minds to work with. And so they start working on the jhanas, And if somebody can take it a little bit deeper, obviously he's doing it "better." The natural human tendency is, "Well, if! can do it better than you are doing it, I'm doing it the right way, and I'll teach you to do it my way."
So I would guess that over time jhana evolved from pretty serious states of concentration to the extreme states that we find preserved in the Visuddhimagga. The Abhidhamma seems to be somewhere in between, but obviously getting very, very deep during that period, since people were able to see their mind-moments and so forth.

1 Will Shuster's Zozobra
Gates open at 3 pm, Thursday, Sept. 10
Burning at dusk
Fort Marcy Park
"It's been a bad year," Zozobra moans at SFR when we get him on the phone to let him know he's won for SFR readers' Best Community Event. "All the public, they are out of work, they have no money, they can't get a job, there's no health insurance, people litter and throw cigarettes out the window, stupid people get in vehicles and don't understand they can't drive when they're on alcohol. It's a bad year in our community." Pausing, Zozobra takes a tortured breath and adds: "There's going to be plenty of gloom to burn away this year."
And burn it will. As for getting your gloom into Zozobra's innards, SFR will once again be collecting gloom at our office (look for more information in forthcoming issues of the paper) and on the field the day of the event.
As for that event, Ray Valdez, event producer of Will Shuster's Zozobra (and the human through which Zozobra speaks), says gates will open at 3 pm, with music before the burning by Sol Fire, the Sean Healen Band and Gordon Free Band. And to acknowledge the tough economy, Zozobra is now free for children under the age of 10 (it was previously under 6). Tickets will cost $5 in advance and $10 at the gate. Proceeds, of course, benefit youth scholarships given by the events' sponsors, the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe and Downtown Kiwanis Foundation, as well as its grant program for area youths and the Key Clubs at Santa Fe High and Santa Fe Indian School. "We want to make Key Club a high school name across the world," Valdez says. "These are high school students promoting community service and leadership skills." This year, Zozobra also is offering 50 first-come-first-served RV spots. These must be prepaid. Email ray[at]zozobra.com or call 505-660-1965 for more info.
Also call if you'd like to volunteer to work at the event and mark your calendars for 5-8 pm, Sept. 4 at Warehouse 21, for the Zozobra art show. That night will also debut the 2009 Zozobra poster. And if you just can't wait for Zozobra, hey, you can always follow @OldManGloom on Twitter.

Only time for some quick bullet points tonight guys, sorry.
Frank is trying to kill me by playing that God awful backup unit together against other teams who still have some starters in the game. He has got to start mixing them as the unit is just not good together.
Our backup wings are killing us right now. Young nor Green did anything of merit in this game and both made bonehead plays costing us ground.
Lance didnt really help a lot tonight either however he had a pair of big rebounds in the second half.
George Hill is the second most clutch player on our team (Danny is first) and what I love about him is he does not shy away from the big moment at all.
To quote Seth here, David West is a B A M F! Big game from him including directing the very last play in which Hill scored. I thought I might have to gouge out my eyes with all of the bad shooting that occurred while he was on the bench. Thank God he played and hit shots.
Sadly Roy was very affective in limited (foul ridden min.) thanks to Dwight flopper Howard.
I used to like Howard now I almost cant stand to see him play.
I can only hope DAntoni does for L.A. what he did for N.Y. and so far from what Ive seen hes well on his way. Some day he & OBrien will be battling for the Euro championships somewhere in a king of the Baltic game or something.
Ian Mahinmi actually looked a lot like the Ian from pre-season and Lord knows tonight we needed it and unlike our starting small forward he actually hit the majority of his free throws.
Paul George did a very good job on the boards and did as well as you can do vs. Bryant.
The Black Mamba is the Black Mamba youre not going to do anything about that. Dude just has ice water in his veins.
Dannys knee looked great while he was doing the post game chicken dance. Also I know I shouldnt get my hopes up but hes now traveling with the team and doing some practice and shooting, God please let him return sooner rather than later.
Did I mention that Green & Young were atrocious?
We only shot 63% from the free throw line and missed several in the 4th, fortunately not as many as the Lakers missed, but we have got to work on that.
Tyler was just to small tonight, he had no chance out there at all. He even had one of his rock solid rebounds tipped away by Bryant.
I know that it is conventional wisdom that Joey Crawford is a great ref. Im sorry I just disagree. That blocking foul that we all love so much was actually the wrong call and his gross over exaggeration of the call just goes further to prove that he is all about look at me when he refs. a game. Sure he is not afraid to call fouls on stars or hit the home team but often times hes just as wrong as the rest of them are and frankly the fact that everybody in the free world knows him tells me he doesnt do his job very well.
Off for a couple of days with some real practice time. Lets try and get one of these two weekend games (or better yet get both) and then take our chance with the Bulls.

But it just can't compete with the Internet anymore. Most of what's on TV is really low-grade stuff, and being able to search for quality videos on places like youtube is a much better way to get one's entertainment fix, if that is what one needs. So I would say I'm down to just a few hours a week now, and not by any act of willpower, just because it's mostly so very dull and boring.

What Parents Can Do to Help Prevent Abuse
There are many things that parents can do to help prevent sexual and other forms of misconduct in the amateur sports environment. All of the following should be considered:
- Ask the sports club or program whether all coaches, volunteers, and staff undergo criminal background checks before they are hired.
- Ask whether the club has written policies that clearly define coach misconduct, prohibit romantic or other nonprofessional relationships between coaches and athletes, define and prohibit emotional, verbal, and physical abuse, bullying, hazing, initiation rituals, harassment, and physical punishment by staff or athletes.
- Ask whether the sport club has education sessions for athletes to help them identify inappropriate behaviors and a process to report such behaviors.
- Ask if the sport club has an independent athlete welfare advocate or athlete protection officer who athletes know they can go to in complete confidence to help them address concerns.
- Ask whether the sports club conducts education sessions for coaches, staff, and volunteers regarding professional behavior and behaviors that they must stop if they observe them.
- Talk to your children regarding all inappropriate or abusive behaviors and what they should do if they observe or are subjected to such behaviors.
It is also important to recognize that abuse can be inflicted by coaches, adult volunteers, staff members or teammates of the athlete. Sexual abuse is almost always committed by a person known to the athlete who takes advantage of a position of power, is older or bigger or intentionally manipulates the immaturity of the athlete, often enticing the athlete into what appears to be a consensual situation. It is the obligation of parents, coaches and other adult sport leaders to immediately act to stop improper behaviors whenever they are observed. All adults are responsible for preventing the infliction of harm to our children. No matter how much a parent respects the position of a coach, abusive and improper behavior cannot be condoned.
While it is virtually impossible to define every behavior that might be classified as abusive, it is helpful to review definitions and examples of commonly encountered behaviors.
Physical abuse
Physical abuse of athletes can take many forms. Some of the more common forms include when a coach: (1) touches an athlete in a non-instructional or non-congratulatory way; (2) touches an improper body part, (3) requires or suggests that an athlete perform a physical act that has no relevance to the sport and which is intended to cause embarrassment, be degrading, or punish; (4) requires or suggests that an athlete continue to perform a physical act, whether it is relevant to the sport or not, that compromises established conditioning and safety guidelines; (5) places an athlete in a situation where he/she is mismatched physically with an opposing athlete causing the possibility of physical harm, (6) requires the athlete to take performance enhancing drugs or any substance not prescribed by a doctor, or (7) fails to stop an activity where an athlete is clearly being subjected to physical harm.
Emotional abuse
Emotional abuse is the persistent emotional maltreatment of an athlete that causes severe or persistent adverse effects on the athlete's emotional development. Such treatment may involve conveying to athletes that they are worthless, not liked, inadequate, or valued only insofar as they meet the needs of another person or fulfills the coach's performance expectations. Using derogatory or discriminatory language belittling an individual or group based on race, sex/gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, social or economic background is emotionally abusive to persons from that group and to those overhearing such comments. Emotional abuse can also occur when a coach continuously criticizes an athlete, uses sarcasm, name-calling, generally belittles the athlete, imposes inappropriate expectations that are beyond the developmental capability of a young athlete, or acts to prevent an athlete from participating in normal social interactions with teammates with the intent to isolate and cause harm to that athlete.
Verbal abuse
Coaches and athletes constantly engage in verbal interactions. It is the coach's responsibility to use such interactions for instructional and motivational purposes. Verbal abuse of athletes can take many forms such as when a coach: (1) excessively, in comparison to treatment of other athletes, singles out an athlete through negative interactions; (2) routinely uses profanity or degrading language; (3) personalizes error correction; (4) yells or screams at a player; (5) constantly blames the team or groups of players for failures or (6) isolates a player by ignoring him or her. Verbal conduct that is unacceptable for a teacher in the classroom is unacceptable for a coach on the playing field or court. Similarly, coaches should immediately call a halt to any bullying, cruel comments or verbal abuse undertaken by any athlete toward another athlete while in the coach's presence. Coaches should refrain from and disallow their athletes from engaging in verbal discourse that denigrates others.
Sexual abuse
Sexual abuse involves forcing or enticing an athlete to take part in sexual activities, whether or not the athlete is aware of what is happening. The activities may involve physical contact, including penetrative (e.g. rape or oral sex) or non-penetrative acts. Sexual abuse may also include non-contact activities, such as involving athletes in looking at sexual online images, watching sexual activities, or encouraging athletes to behave in sexually inappropriate ways.
Athlete sex abusers can come from any professional, racial or religious background and can be male or female. They are not always adults. Other athletes can also behave in a sexually abusive way. Usually the abuser is someone known to the athlete, such as a coach, teammate or staff member. Some individuals become sport club employees specifically to commit acts of sexual abuse because working in sport program allows them access to children.
Abusers may act alone or as part of an organized group like a team. After the abuse, they may put the abused athlete under great pressure not to tell anyone about it. They will often go to great lengths to get close to athletes and win their trust.
Neglect is the persistent failure to meet a child's basic physical and/or psychological needs, likely to result in the serious impairment of the athlete's health or development. Neglect may include failure to protect a athlete from physical and emotional harm or danger, such as a coach failing to intervene when an athlete is being bullied or physically abused, or may involve inadequate supervision such as a coach leaving a potentially dangerous sport activity area without any adult monitoring participation. Or neglect may involve a coach ignoring an athlete who is injured or in pain, failing to be responsive to a need for medical attention. In outdoor sports, neglect could be forcing an athlete to engage in stressful physical activity in conditions of high heat and/or humidity to the extent his/her health is at risk or to participate in the cold without adequate apparel.
Bullying often involves physical and emotional abuse and usually occurs when there is an imbalance of power when a person who is older, larger, stronger, in a position of authority, or someone who is more aggressive uses his or her power to control or harm someone in a weaker position. The person bullying has the intent or goal to cause harm (i.e., the act is not accidental) and the action is usually repetitious. Examples of bullying include but are not limited to name-calling, teasing, socially spreading rumors, purposely leaving people out of groups by telling them or others they are unwanted, breaking up friendships by threatening others or spreading rumors about a friend, or physically hitting, punching, pinching or shoving a person. Cyberbullying is using the internet, email, texting, mobile phones, social media or other digital technologies to do harm to others. The damage inflicted by bullying can frequently be underestimated. Bully can cause considerable distress to young athletes, to the extent that it affects their health and development. The competitive nature of sport can create unique opportunities for bullying such as when a parent pushes too hard for a better or tougher performance from his or her child, a coach adopts a win-at-all-costs philosophy or when a coach or parent calls an athlete a "sissy" or other belittling term.
Harassment is acting in a way that is unwanted by, or offensive in the opinion of, the recipient. Harassment can be deemed to be a criminal offence in some circumstances and can lead to the use of a restraining order or criminal prosecution. Harassment can range from suggestive sexual remarks and racist insults or jokes to the use of foul language to unwelcome attention. Harassment can lead to the athlete feeling unhappy, demoralized, or undervalued as a person. Sexual harassment is often persistent sexual attention or other behavior with sexual overtones that creates a hostile learning environment. Sexual harassment may include written or verbal abuse or threats, physical contact, sexually graphic literature, sexual advances, demands for sexual favors, sexually oriented comments, jokes, lewd comments or sexual innuendoes, taunts about body, dress, marital status or sexuality, sexual or homophobic graffiti, practical jokes based on sex, intimidating sexual remarks, fondling, kissing, sex-related vandalism, offensive sexually explicit or romantic phone calls or photos, and/or bullying on the basis of sex. Sexual harassment also includes all forms of sexual violence such as sexual assault, sexual battery, rape, and sexual coercion which will be referred to authorities as criminal matters.
Hazing, Initiation Rituals and Degrading Physical Punishment
"Hazing" and inappropriate team initiation or bonding activities are defined as any actions, whether physical, mental, emotional or psychological, which subjects another person, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any outcome that has the intended or unintended effect of abusing, mistreating, degrading, humiliating, harassing or intimidating the person, or which may in any fashion compromise the inherent dignity of the person, for the purpose of association with, or induction to, a particular group or team. These are forms of harassment or abuse that are often accepted by the recipient because they are convinced that it is a condition of being accepted on the team. Actions and behaviors constituting hazing, initiation rituals or physical punishment commonly used by sports teams are forcing, requiring or pressuring athletes to:
- consume alcohol or other drugs
- ingest any substance
- shave of any part of the body
- participate in any activity which is illegal, perverse, publicly indecent, or contrary to the individual's genuine moral beliefs
- tamper with, steal or damage property
- restrict their diets in unhealthy ways
- be deprived of sleep and waking up/disturbing individuals during normal sleep hours
- purposefully suffer excessive fatigue unrelated to normal training expectations and activities
- perform calisthenics or any type of physically abusive exercise unrelated to normal training
- Paddle, whip, beat or commit physical abuse of any kind
- Engage in public stunts and buffoonery
- be tattooed or branded
- participate in road trips, kidnapping, drop-offs, or any other such activities
- work on projects without the full participation of the team
- perform pranks, such as borrowing or stealing items, painting property or objects, or harassing other individuals or groups
- subject a teammate to cruel and unusual psychological conditions
- wear apparel in public which is conspicuous, not normally in good taste, or designed to humiliate the individual(s) wearing it
- participate in morally degrading or humiliating games or activities
- participate in line-ups, kangaroo courts, or any interrogation not consistent with the legitimate testing for information about the purposes and history of the team
- participate in sexual rituals, assaults and/or required nudity
- march or participate in similar collective behaviors
- violate state laws or club policies
- "greet" initiated members
- answer phones or doors with songs, chants, or riddles
- yell or scream upon entering or leaving a facility
- engage in deception or threats contrived to convince the new member that he/she will not be permitted to join
- endure mentally abusive or demeaning behavior
Inappropriate Professional Conduct
Coaches, staff members, volunteers, or others who have authority over or provide professional services to athletes must exhibit the highest standards of impartiality and professional treatment and are prohibited from engaging in inappropriate conduct with athletes. It is unethical for coaches, other staff and volunteers to have any physical bodily contact with athletes outside of the practice or contest environment. Within the practice or contest environment, coaches may not have any physical bodily contact with athletes except with the athlete's permission to correct physical form or a pat on the head or back when congratulating an athlete for a good performance. Having a sexual, intimate, romantic, or similar close personal relationship with individuals over which a coach has an instructional or service responsibility, even if a consensual relationship between adults, is professionally unethical and unacceptable because it creates the appearance or actuality of favoritism and special treatment. Examples of other professionally inappropriate behaviors expressly prohibited include but are not limited to:
- Coaches performing back rubs or massage on an athlete even if the coach is a licensed allied health professional (must be performed by a licensed allied health professional hired for this specific purpose and approved by the club)
- Kissing
- Commenting on athletes' or employees' bodies or appearance in a sexual manner
- Exchanging romantic gifts or communications
- Showing obscene or suggestive photos
- Videotaping or photographing athletes or employees in revealing or suggestive poses
- Discussing/writing about sexual topics unrelated to work responsibilities of employees
- Making sexual jokes, sexual gestures, and innuendos or engaging in inappropriate sexually oriented banter (e.g. discussion of dating behavior).
- Sharing sexual exploits or marital difficulties
- Intentionally invading the athlete's or employee's privacy during non-working hours or outside of regularly schedules practice and competition
- Using e-mail, text-messaging, instant messaging, or other social media to discuss sexual topics with athletes or employees
Such unprofessional behaviors or sexual or romantic personal relationships undermine the trust in the coach or employee and belief that the athlete will be treated impartially.
Indicators of abuse
The vast majority of athletes do not find it easy to disclose their concerns. Many are afraid of being criticized by teammates. Many will not question a coach's behavior because they believe they will not receive instructional attention or be selected for a team or performance group. Some athletes are afraid of being criticized by parents who they fear will suggest that they have to be stronger. The sport environment contributes to this expectation of athlete "toughness". Often, parents and athletes tolerate abusive coaches thinking that it is acceptable behavior for coaches to "push" athletes to do their best using almost any conceivable means. Our culture often accepts coach use of profanity, physically pulling athletes into position and other behaviors that would never be tolerated of teachers in a classroom setting. In sport club settings, parents almost blindingly allow the coach carte blanche in the handling of athletes. Such behaviors are simply not acceptable.
Considering these deterrents to reporting abuse in the sport environment, if an athlete does disclose a concern and describes what may be an abusive act or another person, such reports should be taken very seriously. There are other indicators of abuse that parents and sport leaders need to be sensitive to such as:
- Unexplained or recurring injuries such as cuts and bruises situated in areas of the child's body which are not normally prone to injury
- Physical injury where the explanation given is inconsistent.
- Unexplained changes in behavior such as a child becoming withdrawn, quiet, aggressive, or verbally violent.
- Inappropriate sexual awareness and/or behaving in a sexualized manner.
- Disordered eating behaviors such as the athlete overeating or showing a loss of appetite.
- Excessive weight loss or weight gain for no obvious reason.
- Physical appearance becomes unkempt.
- The athlete becomes withdrawn and isolated from the team and seems unable to make friends.
- The athlete begins to display a distrust of adults.
- The athlete begins to exhibit behavioral changes such as reduced concentration and/or becoming withdrawn, clingy, depressed, tearful, emotionally up and down, reluctant to go to school, training or sports club.
- A drop in performance at school or in the sport.
- Physical signs such as stomachaches, headaches, difficulty in sleeping, bed-wetting, scratching and bruising, damaged clothes and bingeing, for example, on food, cigarettes or alcohol.
- A shortage of money or frequent loss of possessions.
- A high turnover of club members.
This is not an exhaustive list of indicators and the presence of an indicator cannot be seen to be definitive proof that an athlete is being abused. But the response to such indicators should be an investigation of the possibility that abuse is occurring.
