With almost 34 000 students, circa 100 course
offerings and 40 Institutes, the historic Technische Universität
Berlin is one of Germany's largest and most internationally renowned
technical universities. Located in Germany's capital city – at the
heart of Europe – outstanding achievements in research and teaching,
imparting skills to excellent graduates, and a modern service-oriented
administration characterize TU Berlin.
The range of services offered by our seven Faculties serves to forge a unique link between the natural and technical sciences on the one hand, and the planning, economics and social sciences and humanities on the other. This is indeed a significant achievement for any technical university.
Our Study Programmes
- [2]

These disciplines find concrete expression in around 40 Bachelor's and 60 Master's programs. Many of these are indeed unique. TU Berlin is the only university in the capital region offering engineering subjects.
Such scientific achivements are built on basic research in the natural science disciplines of chemistry and physics, and mathematics, in addition to strongly innovation-oriented research in electrical engineering and the computer sciences for instance. TU Berlin has received recognition for outstanding achievements in all these disciplines, for which support is provided by the Excellence Initiative of the German Federal and State Governments, the German Research Foundation (DFG), the European Union, industry and public funding, and whose teams are conducting world-class research.
One obvious indication of the university's performance and dynamic development is the increase in external funding for its research projects from around 125 million euros in 2009, to circa 179 million euros in 2014. For years, TU Berlin has been ranked as one of the top universities in Germany without a medical school.
Prioritizing Areas of Specialization in Research and Academics
In a clear articulation of TU Berlin objectives, in July 2012 the Academic Senate unanimously decided to actively promote a new vision in research and academics by designating six core research priorities and by defining the related competencies and social obligations.

Beyond its own borders, both domestically and abroad, our university is the motor, initiator and beneficiary of numerous academic and professional networks with partners in science and industry. Strategic alliances and numerous start-up activities serve to promote hands-on knowledge and technology transfer.
Global players such as Siemens, Deutsche Telekom, Daimler,
or E.ON are involved in various co-operative projects with our university and actively promote technology and knowledge transfer. The 14 endowed chairs and several affiliated institutes are also reminders of TU Berlin's excellent extramural reputation. Companies not only provide investments, they also offer hands-on training and support numerous students with scholarships, lecture series, and excellent career opportunities for graduates. The Deutsche Telekom Innovation Laboratories is one outstanding example of such networking. Their mission is to conduct research for the telecommunications company and they sponsor several TU Berlin chairs. The TU Campus has been home to the 'Labs' house since 2004, where around 360 experts and scientists from more than 25 nations work under the same roof.
As an important actor in Berlin and Brandenburg's world-class scientific environment, TU Berlin selectively promotes scientific networking. In addition to their usual academic activities, around 60 of our top-notch researchers exercise managerial functions in extramural research institutes. These include the Fraunhofer Society, the Leibniz Association, the Helmholtz Association and other important and publicly-funded research facilities.
The TU Berlin attaches great importance to the promotion of science-based start-ups and spin-offs by providing guidance and supervision for around 40 start-up initiatives each year. It also serves as a magnet for companies interested in establishing themselves on or near our campus. Based on the results of a nationwide competi-tion we have earned the title "EXIST start-up university".
International Strategic Partnerships

Internationalization is a basic principle of all scientific activities. The university's internationalization strategy adheres to the concept of strategic partnerships with top-notch universities abroad. These include TU Warsaw, NTNU Trondheim, TU Vienna, TU St. Petersburg, POLIMI Milan, and - since 2017 - the University of Technology Sydney. These partnerships serve to encourage broad-based cooperation and to promote diverse joint activities in research and teaching. A further building block consists of strategic cooperation with science institutions in the three target regions of Eastern Europe, South-East Asia and South America. TU Berlin currently offers 26 dual-degree programs in conjunction with partner universities in England, France, Poland, China, Russia and Chile, in addition to 17 English-language Master's programs. International students from more than 130 countries make up about 20 percent of the student body. In the Alexander von Humboldt Ranking, TU Berlin currently ranks second among all technical universities. Other statistics further underscore the university's interna-tional approach: TU professors alone were involved in 1500 cross-border cooper-ation projects between 2009 and 2011. In 2012, around 120 international science agreements were in force at the central university level.
Family-friendliness, Equal Opportunity and Workplace Health Policies
- [5]

Family-friendly, equal opportunity and workplace health policies ensure a sustainable and attractive university. TU Berlin has earned the European seal of approval as a "family-friendly university" and is a multiple recipient of the Total E-Quality Award for promoting equal career opportunities for men and women. The German Research Foundation (DFG) has already twice awarded us its highest rating for how we reconcile work and family life. We are the most highly rated university in Germany in the nationwide CEWS ranking of equal opportunity aspects. A Dual Career Service, a Family Support Center, a TU-DOC Office and a School Outreach Center are practical examples of the modern instruments provided by TU Berlin to attract and actively serve its members. Promoting good health and fitness is also an important university task. 800 sports courses alone are offered each semester. Moreover, TU Berlin with its Olympic Athletic Center (Olympiastützpunkt Berlin) is a partner university in top athletics. We also actively support students involved in high-performance sports, whose participation in the Olympic Games, world or European championships demonstrates the successes of this university support program.
Modern Science Libraries and Campus IT Infrastructure
- [6]
- © TU Berlin/PR/Ulrich Dahl
Students, Scholars and guests have access to on of Germany´s most modern science libraries with its three million items in various media and 30 000 square meters of floor space. 1300 work stations in various forms, campus-wide wi-fi, 300 computer workstations, several meeting rooms, multimedia workstations and a lounge area are used intensely by as many as 3100 visitors each day.
TU Berlin has also adopted a new approach to campus IT infrastructure. Our main campus – Campus Charlottenburg – operates the largest wireless internet access network of its kind in the world. The TU facility "innoCampus" aims to strengthen and develop the available competencies in the areas of e-learning, e-teaching, e-research and e-science. A modern, expandable, dependable and sustainable IT infrastructure for research, teaching and administration supports these activities. The aim of the IT service center 'tubIT' is to efficiently provide basic services and support for the development and introduction of an IT infrastructure tailored to the needs of re-search.
Looking Toward the Future
In 2013, TU Berlin initiated a vison of its own future. With broad support from all status groups, the university adopted a strategy for future university priorities up to the year 2020. These ranged from establishing a new culture of teaching and learning and further developing of quality management systems, to promoting diversity in career paths, reinvigorating existing structures and developing modern campus management approaches.
In the Heart of the German Capital
The City of Berlin itself is another major benefit of studying and working at our university: TU Berlin is a vital component of one of the world's most interesting metropolitan cities. Few other regions can boast such highly concentrated scientific and research activities as does the "City on the Spree". Around 200 000 people from around the world teach, conduct research, work and study at Berlin's four universities, Chari-té – University Medical Center Berlin, seven universities of applied sciences, three art academies, 18 private universi-ties, as well as more than 60 research institutions. Important national research organizations such as the Fraunhofer Society, Helmholtz Association, Leibniz Association and Max Planck Society maintain several institutes here, in ad-dition to eight research facilities of federal ministries. In the area of higher education alone, Berlin invests around 1.5 billion euros each year. But the city has much more to offer.
Berlin is a cosmopolitan city: people from 195 different cultures and countries help to mold and to shape the colorful cityscape.
Berlin is dynamic: The impacts of the political and historical upheavals of the 19th and 20th centuries can be seen everywhere. Virtually no other major city has reinvented itself as often. The formerly divided city has emerged as a European metropolis with an international flair and strong global appeal.
Berlin offers excellent quality of life, it is indeed a city that combines innumerable parks and green areas with urban living. Each neighborhood has its own character – ranging from "multicultural" to middle-class.
Berlin is creative: a big city promoting big ideas. Worldwide, the "City on the Spree" is in high demand for those wishing to establish companies or to exploit marketable ideas. The high number of academic spin-off companies has since become an important economic and business location factor.
Berlin is culture: the city's lively cultural scene is characterized by more than 170 museums, more than 40 theaters and opera houses, in addition to innumerable galleries, concert halls, cinemas and other event locations.
The great potention of the university, its members and partners makes TU Berlin one of the most attractive addresses in the German capital.
In addition to our main campus situated in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district [7] in the heart of the "City West" area, TU Berlin also maintains two further large campuses in Berlin. One is located in the historical industrial district Wedding, and the other on the property of the famous "Gasometer" in the Schöneberg district. Individual laboratories, TU buildings and sports halls are also scattered around the city. In late 2012, the university inaugurated its first satellite campus on the Red Sea in El Gouna, Egypt.
Campus Charlottenburg
With around 35 000 students and more than 9 000 employees, Campus Charlottenburg is the largest contiguous inner-city university campus in Europe. It is also one of Germany's most diverse locations for science, art and design, all firmly embedded in the middle of the German capital and one of the most important metropolitan areas for science in Europe. Situated directly on Ernst Reuter Square, not far from the Zoologische Garten station and Kurfürstendamm Avenue, Campus Charlottenburg is home to most TU Berlin institutes and the main administrative building with its Auditorium maximum. The internationally renowned Universität der Künste (Berlin University of the Arts) with a long and rich tradition is located right next door and is one of the largest and most diverse arts academies in the world. The close cooperation that exists between the two institutions is indeed unique, particularly in technology and design subjects. Such close collaboration provides students with numerous possibilities in terms of acquiring a modern education and promoting innovative product design, transdisciplinary approaches, and new avenues of cooperation with industry. The joint project "Hybrid Platform" purposefully links concepts from the spheres of art and technology, thereby creating a network in which various disciplines can thrive.
The tradition of science facilities located on Campus Charlottenburg dates back to the last third of the nineteenth century. These institutions include the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (Physical and Technical Institute), founded 125 years ago, scientists such as Hermann von Helmholtz worked here.
In addition to TU Berlin and the Universität der Künste, Campus Charlottenburg is also home to its own private universities and several non-university facilities, for instance the Produktions-technisches Zentrum (Production Technology Center). In its giant research hall or "Factory of the Future", university research and teaching endeavors coexist fruitfully with the industry-oriented applications of the Fraunhofer Society.
Campus Wedding
Where today more than 20 departments of TU Berlin are located, the electricity boom of the late 19th century signaled the beginning of an entire industry. Back then, the AEG factories were thought to form a kind of Elektropolis. In the 1980s, TU Berlin took over this area and opened the first German technology and innovation park (TIB) and start-up center "BIG". This ushered in a new form of practical support for young innovative firms in Germany. This model has since served as a blueprint for many similar institutions around the country. In addition to civil engineering, building physics and building construction, further TU chairs located here carry out research in the fields of motorized vehicles, traffic systems, biotechnology and food chemistry.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration is another campus neighbor. Economic diversity and new potential for innovation characterize the orientation of these on-campus firms. Around 150 on-campus firms are also world leaders in developing high-tech products for the global market. This spectrum ranges from production, development and research companies, to applications and service firms. The Humboldthain Technology Park is home to all these enterprises.
Campus EUREF
In close cooperation with EUREF AG, a new TU Berlin campus has emerged on the property of the former Gasometer in Berlin's Schöneberg district and was inaugurated in October 2012. Three advanced Master's programs dealing with the issue of "City and Energy" are offered here. This facility comprises 1700 square meters of floor space of an historic red brick building called "the water tower". These course offerings are fully integrated into the overall structure of the European Energy Forum (EUREF). Companies and research institutes addressing the topic of "Intelligent city for work, research, education and living" are finding homes here. These endeavors focus on developing energy-efficient buildings and CO2-neutral energy supplies. Through close cooperation between science and teaching on the one hand, and research and practical applications on the other, the EUREF-Campus serves as a powerful test platform for a sustainable model city.
El Gouna Campus
TU Berlin's new satellite campus is situated directly on the shores of the Red Sea in El Gouna, Egypt. In the context of a public-private partnership project that is unique in all of Germany, an approximately 10 000 square meter modern campus has been built with its own Auditorium maximum and library, in addition to seven further buildings housing seminars, offices and laboratories. This initiative project was made possible by the very generous monetary and principled commitment of TU alumnus and entrepreneur Samih Sawiris. His goal: to provide as many young people as possible in Egypt with an excellent education in engineering as he himself enjoyed while a student in Germany at TU Berlin.
A new TU Berlin Central Institute was tasked with developing three advanced Master's programs in the areas of "Energy Engineering", "Urban Development" and "Water Engineering", which were initiated in 2012 on TU Berlin's "Red Sea Campus". TU Berlin is the first German university to offer degree programs in Egypt with a curriculum that is subject to the provisions of German university legislation, both in terms of course content and structure.
The city of El Gouna was built on an artificial lagoon; in Egypt it is considered to be a model project in terms of environmental impact and resource efficiency. The new Master's programs are meant to give students the qualifications they need to help find solutions to regional challenges: extracting renewable energy from the unlimited sun and wind resources, in addition to ensuring clean water supplies through desalination and recycling.
With this new satellite campus, TU Berlin has at its disposal a unique flagship project that further strengthens existing internationalization and training strategies. Moreover, the new El Gouna Campus provides direct access to research challenges and projects in both the Middle East and North Africa and helps our university to ensure quality education in that part of the world.

Dear blog readers,
Sunilde (left), Barquisimeto project coordinator in Venezuela at the border with Judith, Bogota, Colombia, project coordinator
With an emotional encounter between Colombian and Venezuelan colleagues in Paraguachon, Colombia, Walk2gether ended its time in Venezuela, leaving behind in each of us a process of profound reflection, inspired by shared moments and all the things weíve seen during this long journey.
Also, this encounter between colleagues reaffirms that there are no borders when our unity comes from God. The most important thing is that with this experience, we understand a little more about the challenge set before us by CFCA to give hope to families.
Likewise, the walk allowed us to affirm our own reality in the context of strengths and weaknesses clearly evidenced on the route/trip.
- Strengths
- ï Beautiful landscapes
- ï The presence of our CFCA families (parents, guardians, boys, girls, teenagers and the elderly), giving us their support and solidarity at all times.
- ï The support we received from people and families who arenít a part of the sponsorship program.
- ï The logistical support on the part of the sponsored teenagers and scholarship students.
- Weaknesses
- ï The large quantities of trash observed along the route of the walk.
- ï Dead animals, the majority of which were run over on the highways.
- ï Violence along the roads committed by the drivers of the vehicles.
Challenges raised by the Walk
We are called from this point forward to a series of very significant challenges in our community-level intervention and especially, in our work with CFCA families:
- Social challenges
- ï Learn to live in community.
- ï Respect diversity in its different manifestations: ethnic, political, religious, cultural and others.
- ï Relationship with the environment of which we are a part.
- ï Emphasize a true culture of peace.
- ï Quality education for all.
- Challenges to life
- ï Respect life. Encourage a culture of life to counter the culture of death that reveals itself to us in the form of violence and threatens individual security.
- ï Protection for the lives of animals.
- ï Respect for human rights.
- Environmental challenges
- ï Elimination of trash, starting with the communities where we work.
- ï Beautifying the communities.
- ï Care and conservation of natural resources.
I say goodbye with sincere thanks for this experience, and for Bob and Cristinaís presence among us as symbols of peace and brotherhood among all people.

Study Group Scheme success
Thursday 5 July 2012
Article summary
The UEFA Study Group Scheme - through which Europe's national associations exchange technical know-how for European football's well-being - has completed a successful fourth season.
Article top media content
Article body
UEFA's bond with its 53 member national associations remains as strong as ever – thanks in part to the UEFA Study Group Scheme (SGS), the innovative technical exchange programme which has just ended a successful fourth season.
The scheme was set up on the initiative of UEFA President Michel Platini, and sees national associations join forces to pass on technical expertise for the overall well-being of the European game. As a rule, three associations travel to a fourth host association for seminars dealing with either elite youth development, grassroots football, coach education or women's football.
The aim of the Study Group Scheme is to boost standards throughout Europe as association specialists – with the help of UEFA funding – gather technical tips from their counterparts from fellow associations or at club level.
A total of 54 seminars were held in 2011/12 – 11 on coach education, 16 on elite youth football, 16 on grassroots football and eleven on women's football. Thirty different associations hosted seminars, with Israel, Cyprus, Moldova and Slovenia hosting a seminar for the first time.
Next season will continue the good work done so far. Fifty-two seminars will be organised during the fifth season – 13 on coach education, 15 on elite youth football, 12 on grassroots football and 12 on women's football. Thirty-two national associations will host seminars, with Serbia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Faroe Islands, Bulgaria and Hungary hosting their inaugural seminars.
The work done by the host associations has been outstanding, and has emphasized the common desire with European football to work together and improve quality levels for the overall benefit of everyone. Aleš Zavrl, the general secretary of the Football Association of Slovenia (NZS), sums up the Study Group Scheme in glowing terms: "The Football Association of Slovenia is a relatively small and young association within the football family, and is keen to develop different levels of football by strong commitment to the UEFA slogan We Care About Football. We are proud to have the possibility to contribute to processes which help to establish a better and friendlier football environment. I am sure that the UEFA Study Group Scheme concept brings a lot of new ideas and positive sharing of know-how and experiences."
Other associations have added words of support for the scheme. "The FA of Moldova is grateful to UEFA for giving us the opportunity to be one of the hosts in the 2011/12 Study Group Scheme," said Football Association of Moldova general secretary Nicolai Cebotari. "This gave us another excellent opportunity to share technical knowledge and best practices with our guests - technical specialists from Bulgaria, Italy and Georgia - as well as extend to all participants our well-known Moldovan hospitality."
"As UEFA Study Group Scheme hosts for the first time, we at the Cyprus FA feel proud to say it was a successful and a unique event, and a fruitful and constructive study group workshop for grassroots football," added Phivos Vakis, general secretary of the Cyprus Football Association. "We thank UEFA for their enthusiasm and great help, and for giving us the opportunity to organise such an exciting event."
"We were honoured to host the Study Group Scheme," said Ori Shilo, general secretary of the Israel Football Association, "and were equally pleased by the positive feedback we received from the participants and UEFA. Israel will continue to put an emphasis on developing grassroots football, and will be happy to further share its experiences in the future."

When most Americans think of a Fiat, the Italian brand making a re-entry into America in recent years due to its connection with Chrysler -- they think of tiny vehicles. The larger 2014 Fiat 500L is out to change that perception, and I'm here with my thoughts on the vehicle after some time behind the wheel.
This is a hip-looking ride, no doubt about it. It's very attractive and has somewhat unique styling (though it's somewhat MINI Cooper-esque from a distance).
It's a very European look, and you'll definitely be noticed driving this vehicle. The windshield is much larger than on other vehicles, and you have the unique features of partial windows on the left and right to provide even clearer vision of the road ahead and on your sides.
Inside, it's very roomy for a Fiat. The back seat has a decent amount of leg room and plenty of room for a car seat. You even get a decent amount of trunk space.
When seated in the Fiat 500L, both front and back, you'll feel a bit higher than usual. The front seats are elevated higher than in most vehicles, and the back seats are even higher, offering a unique feel to your ride.
The 1.4-liter MultiAir turbocharged four-cylinder engine in the Fiat 500L is not overly powerful, but it will get you around town adequately. At 160 horsepower, just don't expect it to know your socks off. My overall feeling driving this car was very positive, as the handling was responsive and you could easily maneuver it where you needed to go.
One warning: It is a bit noisy inside the vehicle, as the road noise is not blocked out as well as I would have liked.
The mpg rating was good but not great, listed at 27 average (24 city, 22 highway); My numbers were a little bit lower than that.
The UConnect 5.0 infotainment system is standard, and my test vehicle had the optional UConnect 6.5 touchscreen with GPS, rear back-up camera and rear park assist. This system works very well to help you control the vehicle and get where you need to go, but it's worth noting that many other vehicles in the Chrysler family feature a larger and even more user-friendly 8.4 inch touchscreen.
Bluetooth and USB connections are standard, a must in any new car these days.
You get a booming sound system (and an option to upgrade to include Beats technology), a smart move to try to lure a younger audience -- the natural target -- even more to this vehicle.
$20,195 is the base price on the Fiat 500L I tested (There are multiple trim levels on the 500L, starting as low as $19K). Additional features such as the sunroof, heated front seats and the white roof, and the total on my test vehicle went past $25K.
The Fiat 500L distinguishes itself from the other vehicles on the road, something that is not easy to do these days. It's not the most powerful ride, but it's a larger Fiat machine with plenty of passenger and storage space and that is bound to attract a new class of customer to the brand as it continues to reintroduce itself to the U.S. I don't think the Fiat line will top any sales charts anytime soon, but with the addition of a new and bigger model like the 500L, Fiat has a much better shot to do well and improve its standing in this country.

The official SIGN UK photo thread
Now lets see all the drunken ones from the evenings at the hotel.
Great to bump into Shane and have a chat.
A joy to meet Jill again.
Thanks for coming over to our corner of the pond and enjoy the short time you have over here.
And nice to chat to the few that I had time to.
The show itself was a bit disappointing but to be honest I didn't think it was going to be any better than before. I see Spandex cut right back on its fancy stands. A sign of the times I think.
I bumped into a few more after the meet, John Singh and his wife and someone whom I better not mention on this forum.
Till we meet again!

Best Granny bird tits: Kate Hudson
Manslinger wore white last night and came to flirt. She flirted with Billy Bush, she flirted throughout the off camera mingle sessions, she flirted at the Weinstein afterparty. In the end she went home empty legged, but it won't be long. Kate Hudson will hook up soon.
In the meantime, this white dress, the material – what remarkable material: it doesn't fold, it doesn't wrinkle, it's like some NASA sh-t cut into a dress. And to Michelle it looked familiar. Michelle remembered Nicole Kidman. And so it was.

The Republican Senate primary race got personal Wednesday as former Sen. George LeMieux called Rep. Connie Mack IV "the Charlie Sheen of Florida politics" because of past run-ins with the law, and Mack's campaign responded that LeMieux is "an extraordinary political hack" who used his relationship with former Gov. Charlie Crist to become rich and powerful.
LeMieux cited a Miami Herald review of Mack's court records and financial documents to assert that Mack doesn't have the character or temperament to serve in the U.S. Senate.
"What we see is a 20-year pattern of misconduct," LeMieux said at a news conference. "Road rage incidents, bar fights and arrests; unable to pay his own taxes while a member of Congress; sued by his condominium association, his yacht club, his lawyer; not paying his family support payment."
LeMieux said attacking Mack on personal character issues is fair game because Mack has done the same for years, including calling Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich dangerous and erratic. Mack supports Mitt Romney for the GOP nomination.
Likewise, LeMieux questioned Mack's behavior.
"You can't come away from a rap sheet like this and conclude anything other than Connie Mack the Fourth is the Charlie Sheen of Florida politics. In fact, that may be disrespectful to Charlie Sheen," LeMieux said. "With a record like this Connie Mack the Fourth cannot be hired, in my view, to be a teacher, to be a bank officer or to be a policeman, let alone should he be hired to be a United States senator."
Sheen lost his job on "Two and a Half Men" after a drug-fueled meltdown. Sheen was also arrested in 2009 for suspicion of assaulting his now ex-wife. Mack has not faced such charges.
Among the examples cited by LeMieux were Mack's bar fight with then-Atlanta Braves outfielder Ron Gant in 1992, an arrest for resisting an officer without violence after an argument outside a Jacksonville nightclub in 1989, two road rage incidents in the late '80s, a late support payment to his first wife, a loan from his father so he could pay his federal income tax, an overdrawn checking account and failure to pay debts on time.
Expecting to be attacked, Mack's campaign issued a letter from campaign manager Jeff Cohen attacking LeMieux and his ties to Crist. LeMieux served as Crist's deputy attorney general, ran Crist's 2006 campaign for governor and served as chief of staff after Crist won the election. After leaving Crist's office, LeMieux continued to advise the governor and served as a consultant to the Republican Party of Florida.
Crist appointed LeMieux to serve the last 16 months of Sen. Mel Martinez' term.
Crist sought the same Senate seat in 2010, but lost the support of many Republicans who saw him as a political moderate. Crist then bucked the party and ran unsuccessfully as an independent.
"Charlie appointed you to the U.S. Senate without you ever having previously had a single moment in elective office," Cohen wrote. "That must have been a sweet gig -- warming the seat you thought would become Charlie's while looking out for Charlie's special interests both in Washington and Tallahassee."
Cohen said LeMieux' press conference served nothing more than to help Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, who is seeking his third term.
"George, if it weren't so pathetic it would only be sad. But your behavior is damaging to you, our Party, our state and the country," Cohen wrote. "It's time for you to go back to what you do best -- being an insider's insider and a truly extraordinary political hack."
The LeMieux campaign's response to Cohen?
"It's no surprise that Mack the Fourth thinks a childish tantrum is an appropriate response to a discussion about his very serious character problems. Charlie Sheen would be proud," said spokeswoman Anna Nix.
Earlier, LeMieux said Mack, whose father was a senator and whose great-grandfather was a Hall of Fame baseball manager, built his political career on his name.
"Connie Mack the Fourth has gotten a life in politics because he carries a famous name and many people in the state mistake him for his father," said LeMieux, adding that he has tremendous respect for Connie Mack III. "Connie Mack the Fourth is not, in fact, his father."
Senate hopefuls trade personal character jabs
The Republican Senate primary race got personal Wednesday as former Sen. George LeMieux called Rep. Connie Mack IV "the Charlie Sheen of Florida politics" because of past run-ins with the law, and Mack's campaign responded that LeMieux is "an extraordinary political hack" who used his relationship with former Gov. Charlie Crist to become rich and powerful.

96% of the families we helped reported increased communication and reduced conflict.
Some people find it hard living with parents or guardians and you may not always get on.
If this is starting to get you down, we may be able to help.
How can we help?
We offer a free mediation service that can help you and your family to find ways to reduce conflict and get along better.
A mediator will help you to talk honestly with each other to help you sort out your problems. They won't make judgements about who is in the right, or tell you what to do; they just want to help.
What happens if I decide to try mediation?
There will be a meeting to introduce the service to you and a separate meeting to introduce it to your parents or guardians.
Our mediators will help you to both think through what is going wrong at home and what you would like to change. They won't judge you or take sides. They won't tell your family what you have said and vice versa.
When you and your family are ready everyone will meet together. The mediators are there to ensure that everyone gets a chance to have a say and listen to each other's point of view.
Mediation helps everyone to remain calm, so you can discuss your problems and come up with your own solutions.
Does it work?
In the last year we have given mediation support to over 70 families. One month after completing the family mediation sessions, 96% of the families we helped reported increased communication and reduced conflict.
How do I get mediation?
Key's mediation service is a free service for families in South Ribble and Chorley.
If you are interested in talking to us about mediation or you want to refer yourself then please contact us.

Scare at the Census Bureau's Washington HQ
Thankfully, everything is okay! Here's the scoop from The Washington Post:
Security officers at the U.S. Census Bureau's office on Silver Hill Road in Suitland placed the facility on lockdown for about an hour this morning after a carjacking suspect allegedly jumped a security fence outside the government facility.
Census officials heightened security at the Suitland Federal Center from 11:25 a.m. until around 12:20 p.m. after a suspect allegedly involved in a carjacking at the Suitland Metro station was chased by Metro Transit police. That suspect, who was later apprehended, jumped one of the fences located on the Census property, says Census spokesman Stephen Buckner. Buckner said no one at the facility was injured.

John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
Construction on the European Union's tallest building, the Shard, will be finished around the beginning of summer. But one group of urban explorers couldn't wait that long to test out the view from its highest levels.
The Shard has been a tempting but dangerous prospect for trespassers since building commenced in 2009. As one of its recent Edmund Hillarys explains at Silent U.K., it's "poorly positioned" next to a highly trafficked train station and protected by a 15-foot-tall, camera-festooned fence. Notice the guy didn't mention anything about security guards: When his crew finally seized the opportunity to crack the Shard in December, they saw one – hunched over a TV in his security hut and apparently oblivious to the CCTV screens.
Understanding that this might be their only shot, the extralegal explorers quickly scurried past this man and accessed the tower's main staircase. Then they began the laborious process of climbing up to the 76th floor, four stories above the observation deck. (A spire takes the Shard's height up to 1,016 feet, or 95 stories, making it the second-tallest structure in the U.K. behind the Emley Moor transmitting station.) During their climb another security guard intercepted a straggler, but the main group went undetected as the stairs turned into ladders that finally led outside to the chilly night, where the urban ninjas were greeted by Britain's highest-ever crane.
Opinions differ on the view from Renzo Piano's glassy megasplinter. Bradley Garrett, who recently posted a series of incredible pictures on his Place Hacking blog, seemed to enter a state of zen when confronted by the sight of a miniature city spread out like carpeting at his feet:
As I climbed up on the counterweight of the crane, my breath caught. It was a combination of the icy wind and the sheer scale of the endeavor that shocked me. Marc was looking down at London Bridge station and whispered, "the train lines going into London Bridge look like the Thames, it's all flow." Slowly, I pulled myself to the end of the counter weight and peered over the edge. Indeed, we were so high, I couldn't see anything moving at street level. No buses, no cars, just rows of lights and train lines that looked like converging river systems, a giant urban circuit board.
But the explorer from Silent U.K. was underwhelmed by the photographic opportunities, writing:
The wind howled, the crane upon which we stood creaked and swayed, London stretching as far as the eye could see. We were high, extremely high. Actually, we were too high. While the initial view was breathtaking, and believe me it was, once the adrenaline and satisfaction of what had been accomplished subsided, we slowly discovered that this view was for the most part, a photographic nightmare.... Its difficult to explain, I tried to put my view into word, but nothing I wrote was able to convey it.
After spending half an hour sucking in the rare atmosphere of the pinnacle, the group chugged back down all those stairs and slipped out, again undetected. They waited to post photos until this week because, to trust this BBC report, they wanted to make multiple incursions onto the property without alerting the authorities. The Shard has since announced that it's tightened security; for folks who want a glimpse of London from the top of the world, this interactive panorama from the building's website will have to suffice.

To help flatten the curve in the Covid-19 outbreak, officials at all levels of government are asking people to stay home. Here's what's worked, and what hasn't.
Because of coronavirus, millions of tenants won't be able to write rent checks. But calls for a rent holiday often ignore the longer-term economic effects.
Some renters and homeowners are getting financial assistance during the economic disruption from the coronavirus pandemic. What about landlords?
Will COVID-19 change how cities are designed? Michele Acuto of the Connected Cities Lab talks about density, urbanization and pandemic preparation.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.

#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/shm.h> void *shmat(int shmid, const void *shmaddr, int shmflg); int shmdt(const void *shmaddr);
If shmaddr is NULL, the system chooses a suitable (unused) address at which to attach the segment.
If shmaddr isn't NULL and SHM_RND is specified in shmflg, the attach occurs at the address equal to shmaddr rounded down to the nearest multiple of SHMLBA. Otherwise shmaddr must be a page-aligned address at which the attach occurs.
If SHM_RDONLY is specified in shmflg, the segment is attached for reading and the process must have read permission for the segment. Otherwise the segment is attached for read and write and the process must have read and write permission for the segment. There is no notion of a write-only shared memory segment.
The (Linux-specific) SHM_REMAP flag may be specified in shmflg to indicate that the mapping of the segment should replace any existing mapping in the range starting at shmaddr and continuing for the size of the segment. (Normally an EINVAL error would result if a mapping already exists in this address range.) In this case, shmaddr must not be NULL.
The brk(2) value of the calling process is not altered by the attach. The segment will automatically be detached at process exit. The same segment may be attached as a read and as a read-write one, and more than once, in the process's address space.
A successful shmat() call updates the members of the shmid_ds structure (see shmctl(2)) associated with the shared memory segment as follows:
shmdt() detaches the shared memory segment located at the address specified by shmaddr from the address space of the calling process. The to-be-detached segment must be currently attached with shmaddr equal to the value returned by the attaching shmat() call.
On a successful shmdt() call the system updates the members of the shmid_ds structure associated with the shared memory segment as follows:
After a fork(2) the child inherits the attached shared memory segments.
After an execve(2) all attached shared memory segments are detached from the process.
Upon _exit(2) all attached shared memory segments are detached from the process.
On success shmdt() returns 0; on error -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the cause of the error.
When shmdt() fails, errno is set as follows:
In SVID 3 (or perhaps earlier) the type of the shmaddr argument was changed from char * into const void *, and the returned type of shmat() from char * into void *. (Linux libc4 and libc5 have the char * prototypes; glibc2 has void *.)
On Linux, it is possible to attach a shared memory segment even if it is already marked to be deleted. However, POSIX.1-2001 does not specify this behavior and many other implementations do not support it.
The following system parameter affects shmat():
The implementation places no intrinsic limit on the per-process maximum number of shared memory segments (SHMSEG).

Oscar Nominations 2011
Roger Ebert offered this yesterday: "I suspect Justin Timberlake has an excellent chance for "The Social Network," not only because he was wonderful, which he was, but because in some sense Academy voters consider themselves as the default casting directors for the Oscarcast and would like to add a hot young pop star.

An introduction to Oscar campaigning
Written by Sarah I noticed something weird during my first winter in Los Angeles. Driving down the 10 freeway I saw a billboard for a movie that had come out six months earlier. "LA is usually little more on top of changing their billboards," I said (or something along those lines). Full Story
Mo'Nique on money
Sure hope the Academy voting deadline has passed. Because Mo'Nique's recent comments about money may not go over very well with members. She has been brilliant through awards season, tempering criticism late last year that she was insisting on financial gain in exchange for promoting Precious and representing the film as the lead candidate for Best Actress Oscar. Full Story
Which portrait is the fairest?
The Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue features skinny white girls on the front and actor/director portraits inside, all of them by Annie Leibovitz and much more interesting than the banality on the cover. Not to say that individually, those girls are delightful, but again, the lack of diversity was troubling, a reflection of that industry and also our own tastes. Full Story

Mo'Nique doesn't want it?
Well…no… She just won't campaign for it. Well… no… That's not right either. She'll campaign for it, but only if she's paid to campaign for it. By Oprah or the studio.

E3 is Back
I am getting ready to head down to E3 in LA tomorrow. From all of the noise, it seems that the E3 of old is back, with the lights, noise, and spectacle. From the industry's point of view, E3 is a way to get the main stream media's attention. I have seen interviews and announcements all over the place from newspapers to radio. Add in the parties and it should be as crazy as ever.
This year is different for me, since I have meetings about my studio. Normally, I am there representing EA or Sony, so I am approaching things from the publisher or platform side, instead of as a developer. As it is, I have meetings every day, all day, which will make for a great E3!

A whole new kind of scone.
I was never a scone person. In fact I never really understood why anybody would enjoy a scone when they could have a muffin or some other type of tasty breakfast pastry. As far as I knew, scones were hard and dry and only enjoyed when dipped in coffee or tea. Then I ate one of these White Chocolate Chip Apricot Scones prepared by my boyfriend's mother. As I have mentioned in earlier posts, she is the absolute best baker. I am counting down the minutes until I get to enjoy her Thanksgiving Feast. Anyway, back to the scones. These scones are nowhere near dry or hard. They are soft, moist, and almost biscuit like. You can really use any dried fruit as a mix-in and can use any type of chip or even leave them out. I think I may try walnut and dried cranberry scones next time. Next time you want to make a muffin give these a try instead and you will not be disappointed.
White Chocolate Chip Apricot Scones
from Teresa Miller
2 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons orange zest or lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped dried apricot (or any other dried fruit)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups whipping cream (heavy cream)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, orange zest, salt, dried fruit, and vanilla chips (by hand). Pour in whipping cream. Mix or knead by hand, just until combined (about 45 second). Mix will be sticky. Flour surface. Pat dough to an eight inch round. Note: Score first with a knife into 4ths , then 8ths. Then cut and put on a greased large cookie sheet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes. Let cool five minutes, then frost.
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons orange juice or lemon juice
Mix together until a thin icing consistency to pour over warm scones.

Strange setting / Great showWhen a good freind of mine asked if I wanted to see U2 again , I said sure. When we drove to the show the traffic was horrible, the parking was worse a & the event staff was clueless.I keep asking myself why here ! Untill the show start. Watching the upper deck sway to the beat of wall of sound was awsome & of course the stage was massive ! U2 is the best live band,can't wait to go to the 360 show at the Linc.

The label "defensive midfielder" does not do Ricardo Clark full justice. Though he turned 30 last February, Clark's game is still evolving. Long known as one of the most effective midfield enforcers in MLS, he is proving he can support attacks as well as suffocate them.
Ahead of the Dynamo's visit to the Portland Timbers on Saturday, Clark is averaging two shots per game in MLS this season compared with a total of 18 shots in 16 appearances last term. His box-to-box ethos has already paid off this year, with a sharp strike against D.C. United in the Dynamo's home opener and a cross that set up Giles Barnes' equalizer in a win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. He also helped provoke an own-goal in the victory over D.C.
"I'm just trying to pick my moments when I can get forward and get good opportunities. Hopefully I can make those shots turn into goals," he said. "I've tried to get better with training and bring that into the games. Just trying to grow as a player every single day, hopefully that shows."
Part of his sense of timing comes from his considerable experience. An original member of the Dynamo, Clark has played more than 200 matches in MLS and featured for the United States at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He left Texas in 2010 to play in Germany and Norway, returning in August last year after Geoff Cameron joined Stoke City.
Also important is the rapport Clark has with Adam Moffat, his partner in the middle of the park. As these Opta touch graphics of average positions show, the understanding between Moffat and Clark is crucial to the Dynamo's fortunes in the center of midfield because the two typically play so close to each other. (Moffat is 16, Clark 13.)
|Average positions in 2012
|Average positions in 2013
"There's times where I'll go forward and maybe just give him a rest, he runs a lot. It's hard to pick up. If it's just the same the whole time it's easier to defend," said Moffat. "We enjoy playing side by side. He's a hard worker, he doesn't stop trying. I try and do the same."
Moffat believes that Clark's reputation as a destroyer means that he can take opponents by surprise when he does venture higher up the pitch and show off his creative side.
"In people's minds they just assume him to be the defensive midfielder. Definitely he can catch people off guard. He sets off running and gets in good spots," he said. "He's good at making some late runs and he's got a great engine. He can get forward but he can get right back in as well. He is effective. People might say he is a defensive midfielder but if he's getting forward and adding to the attack and he's getting assists, scoring goals, then it's really good."
With some players you only need look at a YouTube highlights reel to appreciate their talent. To understand Clark's value to the Dynamo it helps to delve deep into the numbers. Opta statistics capture what the naked eye might sometimes overlook.
Since returning to Houston, Clark has made a clearance, block or interception on average once every 21 minutes. Indicating that he plays higher up-field than the tag "defensive midfielder" implies, he has attempted far more passes in the opposition's half than his own – 465 to 309.
Clark is also the team's most effective tackler. He has attempted 50 tackles and won 42 of them. That is a success rate of 84 percent, the best among regular Dynamo starters since his arrival. The Georgia native is also adept at breaking up opposition attacks. He has conceded 31 fouls - but only two were close to the Dynamo goal, showing he tries to avoid giving away free kicks in dangerous areas. And he is a victim almost as often as a perpetrator: he has won 28 fouls.
Clark agrees that much of what he does is unglamorous and goes largely unnoticed by casual observers, but thinks his strong work ethic and willingness to tackle and battle is typical of his teammates.
"That's part of the mentality of the whole team. I think a lot of people do a lot of dirty work on the team," he said. "From the back four all the way up front. I think it goes a long way and the mentality of the team has always been to put in the work. If you do that, everything comes later. I think it's helped the team have a lot of success so far and hopefully will help the team have success in the future."

More than a year ago, the Office of Congressional Ethics began investigating whether Rep. Michael M. Honda's staff crossed congressional duties with campaign activities. The case was later referred to the House Committee on Ethics, which in September indicated it would take up the review indefinitely.
That has left the California Democrat open to constant hammering from his primary opponent's campaign, which is stating allegations as fact and pointing to the nearly $100,000 that Honda has spent defending himself.

Arguing that "anyone who dies with over $50 is a failure," a cancer-stricken art collector in Santa Fe filled a chest with millions in gold and jewels, hid it in the wilderness and published a single short poem full of clues for treasure hunters. It started as a lark. Little did anyone know just how big it would get.
Author Margie Goldsmith
BLAME RALPH LAUREN. In 1996 the designer paid a visit to his friend Forrest Fenn, who lived in Santa Fe, N.M. Fenn had recently undergone chemo and radiation for kidney cancer, and was told there was only a 20 percent chance for his survival. He sold his successful Santa Fe art gallery and settled in to await the inevitable. While he did, many friends stopped by to visit him and his wife at home.
The place was filled with more than 5,000 pieces of museum-quality Southwestern art and artifacts, from Sitting Bull's pipe and an 18th-century painted buffalo skin to early Indian pottery and rare Plains Indian medicine bonnets. Lauren immediately fell in love with a Crow Indian hat covered in white ermine skins and carved antelope horns, and offered to buy it. Fenn refused, saying it was one of his favorites. Lauren said, "Well, you can't take it with you." To which Fenn replied, "Then I'm not going."
Though the hat remained safely ensconced in Fenn's collection, Lauren's visit gave the ailing art collector an idea. Inspired by the adventure stories he had devoured as a child, Fenn sat down to write a memoir, jotting down scenes and remembrances as they came to him. As an Air Force pilot during the Vietnam War, he flew 328 missions and was shot down twice. After the war he turned to art, settling in Santa Fe with his wife, Peggy, and opening Fenn Gallery, which became the most successful art gallery in New Mexico. Fenn's holdings included Remingtons and Russells and O'Keeffes— every big name in Western art—and many of those works are now in museums ranging from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyo., to the Art Institute of Chicago. Buying and selling art was how Fenn came to know Lauren, yes, but also Robert Redford, Jacqueline Onassis, Sam Shepard, Jessica Lange, Steven Spielberg and Donna Karan.
And that's when things got interesting. As he wrote, Fenn was reminded of how much fun he'd had hunting down fine art pieces and building his collection over the decades. He felt it would be a shame if all that ended with his death. The memoir would help preserve his legacy, of course—but as he saw it, there was only one way to pass along that sense of delight, that thrill of the hunt.
So Fenn bought an antique bronze chest and started to fill it with treasures. The booty included a jar full of gold dust panned in Alaska, gold coins, large and small gold nuggets, pre-Columbian gold animal figures, two ancient Chinese jade carvings, a 17th-century Spanish gold and emerald ring and a beloved bracelet of turquoise beads, excavated from a Mesa Verde ruin in 1903, that Fenn had won in a game of pool. The total value amounted to about $3 million.
Fenn decided he would hide the chest with a copy of his book in the desert, maybe even as he walked out into the wilderness to die. That could trigger a hunt of its own, spark some excitement; one day an intrepid searcher would find his bones and his treasure and learn who he was, think kindly of him. His memory would live on.
It seemed like a perfect plan. Except for one hitch.
Fenn didn't die.
FORREST FENN'S CANCER went into remission—and it stayed that way. As a result, he didn't quite get around to burying that treasure. More than a dozen years passed.
Then, in 2010, Fenn turned 80, and the milestone spurred him back into action. "I had this treasure chest full of gold and jewels just burning a hole in my vault," he says. "So I decided to go ahead and hide it somewhere in the mountains north of Santa Fe, leaving clues on how to find it for any searcher willing to try."
The clues are encoded in the memoir he self-published that year, The Thrill of the Chase. There are nine of them, all contained in a single poem Fenn wrote.
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyons down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it's no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There'll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
If you've been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.
So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answer I already know,
I've done it tired, and now I'm weak.
So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.
As word spread about what Fenn had done, treasure hunters rushed to Santa Fe. Based on the 5,000-plus emails he has received about the treasure, he estimates that more than 1,000 people have searched for it, though he assumes there must be others out there that he doesn't know about.
Many who contact Fenn are looking for a little extra help; others simply want to share their stories. "Dear Mr. Fenn," wrote one, "we don't think we will find the treasure chest but I just want to thank you for getting me and my family off of the couch and out into the mountains." Another man told of how he went out to look with his grown son. The two slept in a van and talked about their hopes for the future. They gave up the search after two days, but it wasn't a wasted effort, the father wrote. "If it hadn't been for the book, my son and I would never have had this time with each other."
Which isn't to say the quest should be undertaken lightly. " There are dangers involved," Fenn says. " Things can complicate the search— earthquakes, mudslides, forest fires, floods, trees, falling rocks. There are those who have been at risk in water when they attempted to search someplace where it was not really safe to go. Some have not been prepared to face the elements after they parked their car and started walking. Some have lacked the proper clothing, food and water."
One eager individual donned scuba gear and swam along the bottom of a murky lake until he almost ran out of air. Another "rode 28 miles on a bicycle in the snow and almost froze after getting wet," Fenn says.
Still, the treasure hunters keep coming. One Chicago couple, for instance, has traveled to New Mexico 14 times to look for Fenn's prize. (In an email, the wife told Fenn, "We are experts on where the treasure is not.")
"What serious adventurers should remember," Fenn says, "is to not believe anything that is not in my poem or otherwise in my book. There's some misinformation out there. For instance, I never said I buried the chest, I said only that I hid it. That is not to say it is not buried, so maybe we need to define the terms. Does 'hidden' mean in plain sight? What is the difference between 'buried,' 'entombed' and 'sepultured'? What does the word 'blaze' in the poem mean? A horse can have a blaze on its forehead, a blaze can be scraped on a tree to mark one's way, a blaze can mean a flame or a scar on a rock. And what about 'water high'? Does it mean deep, or higher than normal?"
Fenn generally refuses to give additional clues, but he'll make the rare exception — of sorts. When one woman emailed him to complain that the clues were too difficult, he told her the treasure chest is located more than 300 miles west of Toledo.
Beyond queries from treasure seekers, Fenn has also received a number of letters from people simply wondering why on earth he would do this. "I wanted to create some intrigue and adventure and maybe a little mystery," Fenn explains.
Plus, he says, "anyone who dies with over $50 is a failure."
FINDING FENN'S TREASURE has proved so difficult that some are left questioning whether the whole thing is an elaborate hoax. But doubters need only ask Fenn's friend Douglas Preston, a bestselling author whose novel The Codex is based on Fenn's story.
"That gold is out there—I held it with my own hands," says Preston, one of the few to have seen the chest before Fenn hid it. "Some of the most wonderful things in the treasure are enormous gold nuggets the size of hen's eggs, weighing more than a pound each, and worth several times their bullion value. He included things that would survive a long time, and that would be interesting and unusual. And the chest itself is quite rare; it's a Romanesque lockbox from the 12th century, and with the gold and jewels inside, it weighs 42 pounds."
Surprisingly, there have been only a few items about the treasure in the local newspaper or on the news. But there are certainly other signs of it around Santa Fe. The Inn and Spa at Loretto offers guests a " Thrill of the Chase" package, which includes two nights' accommodations, a scavenger hunt and an autographed copy of Fenn's book. There's also a " Thrill of the Chase" signature cocktail, a blend of light rum, sweet vermouth and Amaretto di Saronno sprinkled with gold flakes, and a Forrest Fenn sandwich, consisting of pastrami with apple sauerkraut on marble rye (Fenn's favorite).
When Fenn himself walks down the street these days, locals constantly stop him; they want to know if anyone has found the treasure. Others shake his hand and call him a hero. Local jeweler Marc Howard hails Fenn as a cross between Will Rogers and Mark Twain. "He's a story-weaver, and has created a legacy that will reach out into the future."
Fenn is modest about the whole thing, though. "I was hoping the treasure chase would cause some excitement and get a few guys out into the mountains," he says. "I did not expect it to get so big so fast."
He hasn't gone back to his hiding place to see if the treasure is still there. He assumes it hasn't been found (though he knows of "more than a few people" who have searched within 500 feet of the site), and that suits him fine. "I think that I'll be a little disappointed when it is found, because the mystery will be gone."
One clue follower, Dal Neitzel, has been looking for the treasure for more than two years. He's already made five trips down from his home in Washington state, and plans to keep looking. Not that the booty is Neitzel's primary motivation: Fenn's treasure hunt has turned into something bigger, something more meaningful.
"Forrest Fenn is the hider of undiscovered dreams for thousands of folks who go looking for that treasure," he says, "and discover not the place where the treasure is hidden, but the place in their heart where adventure sleeps, and trails begin."
Travel journalist MARGIE GOLDSMITH lives in New York City, where high rents preclude burying treasures worth more than a few dollars.
I absolutely couldn't stop reading this piece. What a story! Who would think of hiding a treasure chest full of gold and actually go out and DO it? A modern-day Robinson Crusoe or Pirates of the Caribbean–except TRUE! It makes me want to buy a pick axe, rent a mule and go out on a treasure hunt. Such a happy and optimistic way to start the new year!!
Very nice article Margie. I know Forrest will get a kick out of it. I'll let you know if my continuing search is successful. Marc
What a great real life adventure. Here's hoping some lucky (deserving) person will discover Fenn's treasure in 2013.
Within 500 feet:)
And the beat goes on! Forrest Fenn is an American treasure. He has led an amazing life, many details of which he has shared in his wonderful memoir, The Thrill of the Chase, and has given individuals from all walks of life the opportunity to participate in a real treasure hunt. Truly a story which will be told to thousands of grandchildren out there by dedicated treasure hunters who are experiencing the thrill of it all.
Forrest Fenn has been a friend for over 30 years and he is one of the most remarkable men in the world! His life is as rich as the treasures he has hidden. Wonderful article about an authentic American treasure…Forrest Fenn himself!

I heard about Forrest Fenn's book, "The Thrill Of The Chase", from a friend here in Denver who is also an author and a friend of Mr. Fenn's. She suggested that I might consider writing a song based on Mr. Fenn's book and life story. After penning an initial draft of my song (also titled "The Thrill Of The Chase") I sent it to him for his perusal. He suggested a couple lyric changes, and after tweaking it a bit I went into the studio to record the song. I was honored to be invited to perform the song at Mr. Fenn's book signing event in Santa Fe in February, 2011. I now offer single copies of the recording to anyone interested. You may contact me through my website at http://www.bobhaworth.com and request a copy of the song on CD for $5.00. All proceeds from sales of the song go to Forrest Fenn's Cancer Victim fund, which he has established to assist young cancer victims.
I love all the adventure it has stirred up! Knowing Forrest, I know it is true so keep looking! Pretty cool cousin to have a sandwich and drink named after him much less a scavenger hunt and book! Love it! He's the real thing!
Forrest: Too bad you didn't bury it in Santa Fe where ex new yorkers like me find our adventures. LOVE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR to you PEGGY AND KELLY. SHIRLEY
What a beautiful story! It captures the sense that the real treasure is not the contents of the chest, but in how it has fired people's imaginations.
From a friend, and fellow fighter pilot who flew with Forrest in Vietnam – this is a great story. His memoir is a must read.
You know what they say….15th time is the charm ;-)
Lovely story Margie! He didn't happen to mention where he hid it, did he?
Check out Forrest Fenn on YouTube.
This sounds like an intereting adventure. Will be checking in to this. Thanks Irene Rawlings for sending me the link.
Great article. The thrill of the chase is an important concept for humanity. It drives exploration in all endeavors. Thanks Forrest for keeping that spirit alives.
Great article Margie!
They say that a persons greatness is based on the number of people they influence in their lifetime. Forrest has influenced a great number of people. Although it has not been publicized, he has affected a number of kids in our Expanding Environments youth program and that will surely add to his stature when he reaches the Happy Hunting Grounds.
Thanks to Forrest, I have friends who have a new mission in life, find the treasure or die trying. Artist Armond Lara thinks Forrest's wants his remains to reside in the same hiding place which,if discovered, must be very high profile. Forrest would have wanted it thus. I've shared many a memorable moment with Forrest and his family. He always made life more intriquing and fascinating than the average art dealer. Many thanks for writing a terrific piece about one of the most adventuresome individuals who ever graced the planet.
There wasn't enough room in the story to explain Forrest's unending generosity. Each year he brings a group of 17 "at risk" (for lack of another word) teens to his pueblo in Santa Fe, sends a teacher/archeologist with them who teaches them how to "dig." He pays minimum wage to each, exposes them to a potentially wonderful career, pays for their room and board, sends pizzas to the site (besides healthy meals), takes them to a swimming hole, and I know first-hand, inspires them to make positive life choices instead of turning to evil lifestyles.
Great article. I met Forrest once and he was certainly all that and a bag of chips. Had not heard about this mysterious hidden treasure though. Might be a way to fund my nonprofit. Now, where to start…
Forrest is indeed one of a kind. It's an honor simply to be insulted by him. I have seen the treasure (not because I've found the hiding place, unfortunately) and it's for real, from the ancient chest itself, recovered from a shipwreck, to the jewels, coins and raw nuggets of gold within. Only a true storyteller could have come up with an idea that could excite the imagination of so many.
This article, I believe, captures the heart of what this is about for most of us in the hunt. It is about getting out there – doing something, anything. The hunt allows us to dream and to insert ourselves into the legend. Nice article about a nice guy. Thanks.
Although having searched for more than a year now, my obsession in the hunt has not waned. Each new day is greeted with enthusiasm by this hunter whose head is filled with thoughts on the chase. Where to go next,what to see next. I'm enjoying this journey tremendously. And also within me there has been awakened a renewed love of the land I call home. Thank you, Mr. Fenn.
I had the pleasure of meeting Margie last year and she is doing a wonderful job of getting the story and the amazing guy behind it into the treasure seeking souls of all thrill chasing Americans! Nice job Margie!
Forrest continues to live as he has his entire adult life, as a kid trapped in a mature body. We would do well to catch his fever and realize that everyone needs toys, adventure, and to fantasize about buried treasures. This one however is not marked by an "X", nor was it buried by pirates. This one is for real and was secretly cached away by a true western hero! I hope it's not found for at least ten years!
Dear Mr. Fenn, my sons, Jimmy & Paulie Horvath, have always been adventurers. After having told them about the article I read, they made me find it online and go over the 9 clues in your poem. We are inspired by the generosity in the teaching of your having hidden the treasure (note I did not say "buried"), and we hope some day to meet you ahead of our fun pursuit to find the treasure so that we can donate most of it to someone who really needs it.
Thank you for the wonderful sense of adventure and giving us something amazing to speak about.
Wish I had the time and money to look for the treasure it would be a great adventure.
Thank you, Mr. Fenn for putting life into people for this adventure that I am sure many are doing.
Mr. Fenn,
I think I'm on to you. I have just had a nice history lesson of expiditions with some character references thanks to the WWW. No gold in Santa Fe. But "Santa Fe" is alluded to in the early expeditions.
Sometimes the biggest treasure is near us and around us but we dont see him.the nature is our heaven but all things like tv,video games,computers is in the other side…i hope the children of today will take a nature like the most important treasure they can find today!thanks to Mr.Fenn to show us what is good in our lives!one day when somebody find the treasure i hope they will hidden them again and save many childern showing them what we are…The Nature!
Dear Margie Goldsmith here is my letter to Mr. Forrest Fenn:
As a child of the tales of the West I appreciate the marvels of your Tale of your life and artfully well accomplished legend.
My name is John, even my best friend at 13-17 myself was Ted at 94 when I met him. Upmost respect for him even since his passing at 97. He taught me many things;
the greatest gift he gave me is this line of thinking:
"The wisest man is the one who listens…."
however it wasn't till I turned 20 years old when I realized with a great smile upon my face the rest of what he really unsaid meant:
"You also have to be willing to ask the questions".
What possibly may be the great hunt you have made; people are failing to see the colors of you and your story since they are BOUND together.
That is the first clue.
I am living near Seattle Washington State; don't worry I don't have any means of travel to go hunting for it; I would like to say one phrase to you:
Brown Spanish Egg- figure eight.
I just heard about Forrest Fenn last week! I have not yet read his book, but I have read many articles & interviews. In some of those interviews, Forrest says things that might be described as "clues." For example …
1)"After I hid the treasure, I walked back to my car …" My interpretation: If you have the right kind of car, you can drive almost all the way to the hiding place. The last segment of the journey would be on foot.
2)"While you are treasure hunting, think like an 80-year old." My interpretation: How far could an 80-year old carry a 42-pound box? The answer to that question indicates how far the hiding place is from your parked car.
3)"Take a sandwich with you." My interpretation: You can drive from Sante Fe to the hiding place & back in one day. The only meal you will miss is lunch.
4)"Take a flashlight with you." My interpretation: The hiding place is in a shaded or dark area, but not underground.
5)"The hidden treasure is surrounded by trees." My interpretation: The hiding place is in a forest. (That's his name: Forrest!)
Any other ideas?
Hi Forrest,
Just want to thank you! Paul (my old guy) and I just ordered your book. Had planned to take the grandkids fly fishing up through Sioux St Marie this summer, but think we'll toss them all in our son's SUV and drive back to our old haunts this summer, instead. The kids will love planning and executing this trip! I've got a kid brother (I'm the oldest of 10) who lives with his lovely Hispanic wife and however many of his 9 kids are still living at home, in Glorietta. Figure that will make a great home base for our treasure hunt…and, if we don't find it, we'll still get to see good people we haven't gotten to see in awhile. Wish my dad were still alive to join us. You sound so much like him, although he never could sell anything.
Will be reading your site when we aren't busy consulting topo maps!
Lynn and Paul
JUST heard of this adventure this morning here in washington state. got online and did some visuals of santa fe. and read some other blogs. seems people think south. well thats good for those searching north. I admit im not the brightest person on earth. but I am smart enough to figure out the starting point.. if this treasure is not found by 2014. ill take a trip. find the box. and shake his hand. and thank him.
My 12 year old son and I have most of the clues figured out. I can't share how we know, but suffice to say, when you have the solution, you'll know it. We are moving to Colorado this summer and will dedicate weekends to the search until we find it. Good luck to everyone!
Although since first learning of this mystery a few days go, I have copied Forrest with a bit of joshing, I assure all doubters that the treasure is indeed there. I knew Forrest and his family 70 years ago. I wouldn't say they walked on water, but I never heard anyone accuse them of getting wet above the ankles. He is a guy of great integrity who challenges us all.
While I probably will never have the oportunity to treasure hunt :) it brings a smile to my face of my favorite child hood movie "Goonies" The adventure the excitement! But this story did remind me to always keep my eyes open when about never know what treasures are right in front of you.
The Thrill of the Chase blogs are now active. I still need to do a little more coding. Please come and look around and perhaps by the book to locate the treasure hidden by Forrest Feen.
I can't wait me and my dad are coming up there this aug.. to claim our treasure. Iv figured this poem out after clocking over 500 hours of online research and over 266 trips to the library. I belive Iknow where its laid. When we claim it and you figure it out where it was it will put a huge smile on your face… we may not tell the location but we will show the treasure. I'm hoping to put a new treasure in its place. So there is still somthing to hunt for. I may even take a few things out of his chest to add to what I'm replacing. But I must this poem was very hard to crack. .
There is now a free co-op in New Mexico that anyone can use to help in interpreting clues for finding Forest Fenn's treasure. See nmtreasure.com
So here are the SECRETS I have found …. The PLACE we went was TOWER FALLS in YELLOWSTONE in WYOMING (a place Forrest Fenn spent alot of time as a child written in a couple books he wrote) ….. I will explain more below
As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
(In the place we went there is a CAVERN by TOWER FALLS in YELLOWSTONE)
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk,
Put in below the home of Brown.
(There is a CANYON WARM WATER RIVER, that joins with the River that DUMPS into TOWER FALLS YELLOWSTONE) The TRAIL begins at the TOWER FALLS LOOKOUT its so easy a CHILD or GRANDMA could do it UNTIL you get to the RIVER by the FALLS too far to walk for a 70ish CANCER ridden person but not too hard or too far) (further more there is a RANGER house just ABOVE that location and the OLD famous RANGER that use to RUN that end of the park last name was BROWN and unless you know that it would be confusing and there is no NAME of BROWN at that ranger station but records proved that was HIS HOUSE while at the PARK) (Furthermore TOWER FALLS is below CANYON area at yellowstone this is a good clue too)
From there it's no place for the meek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There'll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
(Now once you get to the END of the TOWER FALLS trail a sign reads UNMAINTAINED SECTION use trail at own risk, and you will have to get near the pool at the BASE of the FALL) (You cannot PADDLE up the FALLS so you where the CREEK and The FALLS meet you will be up a creek without ability to paddle … it all makes sense) (now you must wade a SECTION across the CREEK probably about waist high or lower which is WATERS high and if your trying not to get a BRASS Chest full of treasure wet it would be HEAVY LOADS including the SPEED of the river where you must past)
If you've been wise and found the blaze,
Look quickly down, your quest to cease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go in peace.
(Now there is a BLAZE looks just like a FLAME on the ROCKS right above the CAVERN, so looking down from the BLAZE you will enter the CAVERN a shallow CAVERN, and there you will find the CHEST)
So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all to seek?
The answers I already know,
I've done it tired, and now I'm weak.
(it can be TIRING)
So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth the cold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.
(the mist from the TOWER FALLS makes it COLD, and WOOD collects into that CAVERN sort of near the EDGE of the WATERS)
I haven't started but its coming. I've purchased his book and the only person who's going to find it is Mother Nature. I think I'd really like to help Mr. Fenn excavate his property and find some lost Indian tribe. That make my day.
Forrest Fenn is a person who is worthy to be respected by people as his spirit and devotion for human
I've seen a lot of clues on here, including the 13 that he has given to date (that I know of). There are several people that have given their interpretation of the clues (which is fun) and others introspect on what they think the clues translate to. So much info, so little time. I read, in this blog, that Mr. Martin Says: June 16th, 2013 at 10:33 pm him and his dad were coming in Aug of this year. I didn't see any follow-on commentary so I must assume they were not successful, even after spending all that time on the internet and libraries. I believe that the chest is in New Mexico. I don't think Mr. Fenn would drive out of state to lay the chest elsewhere. I wish I had the time to go on the hunt for the chest. I really do. Its a bit far for me to drive, even on a 3 day weekend. I still have 4 years to go before I retire. At that time, I am sure I will at least give my interpretations to the clue one try, okay, maybe two. Good hunting.
100% sure I am 95% there. 5.14.2014
I believe the treasure was found a couple years ago by a group from Colorado Springs. Their comments in "below the homeof Brown" indicate that they found the treasure. Stated as cryptic as Forrest's poem.
