un climate talks 2010: cancun
As world leaders met in Cancun, Mexico to discuss efforts to tackle global warming, Friends of the Earth International were calling on the rich industrialised countries, which have historically emitted the most greenhouse gases, to agree to urgent and dramatic cuts in their emissions starting NOW.
We're calling on developed countries to tackle climate change by urgently making real changes at home. Carbon offsetting – when developed countries buy carbon credits from developing countries to avoid cutting emissions themselves – has no part to play in a just international agreement to fight climate change.
We believe in Climate justice which means emission cuts in developed countries, and money for developing countries to grow cleanly and adapt to the effects of climate change – but it also means a change in our consumption patterns.

Public encouraged to hit World Bank "Piggy Bank Piñata"
Brussels, 8th December 2010 - Activists gathered today outside the World Bank office in Brussels, and invited members of the public to hit a World Bank "Piñata" in the shape of a piggy bank, to oppose World Bank involvement in climate finance.
The action, which took place during the second week of the UN climate change negotiations, demanded that all money to fight climate change should go through the United Nations, not the World Bank or any other multilateral development banks. The decision to establish a global climate fund under authority of the UN should be adopted at the climate negotiations currently taking place in Cancún.
The World Bank is the largest multi-lateral lender for oil and gas projects and a major actor in deforestation. It has failed to accept its own internal recommendations to stop funding destructive coal, oil and gas extraction. The World Bank is not a transparent or democratic institution and its decision-making is dominated by donor countries. It is also the world's largest carbon broker and it would be a conflict of interest for it to become the world's largest conduit for climate change mitigation funding.
The action also called for the European Union and other developed countries to provide transparent and appropriate finance, technology transfer and adaptation funding to developing countries. This is part of repaying the "climate debt" that they owe developing countries due to the large amounts of greenhouse gasses that they have emitted.
Susi Hammel, who took part in the action, said: "The European Union, and other rich industrialised countries, have a historical responsibility for causing climate change. As well as cutting their own emissions, rich nations have to transfer money and technology to developing countries to help them cope with the impacts of climate change, and develop in a sustainable way. We cannot trust the World Bank to deal with climate finance, as it is not democratic or transparent, and is a major supporter of fossil fuel projects. Instead, we need to see agreement in Cancún on a global climate fund under the authority of the UN."
Any climate finance mechanisms must be designed to ensure human rights including Indigenous Peoples' rights are protected, false solutions are rejected, and governance structures provide transparency and accountability. Carbon trading and international offsets must not replace new public money to enable developing countries to cope with the impacts of climate change.

"Don't nuke our climate!" say European youth
Whilst UN climate negotiations take place in Cancun, European youth have been taking action in Brussels to demand climate justice.
As part of an international day of action to oppose false solutions to the climate crisis on December 7, 30 young people from across Europe targeted European institutions and corporations which support and fund nuclear energy. The message was simple: nuclear power is unsustainable and unacceptably dangerous.
"Nuclear energy is promoted as a clean technology but the mining of uranium has massive social and environmental impacts and the problem of safe nuclear waste disposal is yet to be solved. Young people are being locked into an uncertain future where they will have to shoulder the burden of this false solution." Susi Hammel, Young Friends of the Earth Europe.
As part of a series of actions, youth demonstrated outside the European Commission to highlight its ongoing support for this dangerous technology. They also took action outside the Foratom offices, a powerful pro-nuclear lobby group, and BNP Paribas whose significant financial contributions enable the ongoing development of the nuclear industry.
"What we need are real solutions. If the negotiators in Cancun care about our future, they will choose renewable resources and opt for decentralised production and distribution of energy. This will empower communities to directly produce their energy from local, sustainable resources." said Sebastian Power from the Federation of Young European Greens.
The action took place as part of the '1000 Cancun's action day' called for by the International peasant farmers network La Via Campesina. Participants in the action are youth who have gathered from all over Europe for a two week long Climate Justice Convergence in Brussels, in parallel to the UN Climate talks in Mexico. For two weeks, over 60 young people have gathered to take action and demand climate justice.

The European Assembly for Climate Justice
The European Assembly for Climate Justice took place in Brussels from 26-29 November and brought together more than 250 people from 10 European countries for 4 days of debates, discussion, action and networking.
The event gave a clear signal that the UN climate negotiations, taking place in Cancún, Mexico must not be used to further the interests of rich industrialised countries, and big business.
The participants also discussed the way in which European countries are responding to the climate crisis – and specifically the need to ensure that action to tackle climate change also brings us closer to achieving justice within and between countries.
The assembly was inspired by the call made by La Via Campesina for "Thousands of Cancuns" during the negotiations in Cancun.

The other night attendees of the German American Business Association of northern California acquired many first-rate insights into the early days of Social Media and the effective use of LinkedIn. Konstantin Guericke, one of five co-founders, and the first Vice President of Marketing of LinkedIn, discussed the question of are you "Ready to make your move?"
One of the fun facts Konstantin shared with the audience was that there are 522,000 groups on LinkedIn today; GABA as one of the early leaders in Social Media, set up the 10th group on LinkedIn many (5) years ago!
Konstantin suggested a novel way of using LinkedIn to advance your career. He advises looking at the career path of those who have been successful doing what you want to do and follow in their example.
Three very important points that Konstantin made, and that I suggest when giving talks and advising clients are:
- Start before you need a job
- LinkedIn is much more than a resume
- Use LinkedIn to prepare for interviews
LinkedIn has found that employers prefer to hire candidates recommended by others. Konstantin surprisingly expressed the opinion that "Reciprocal recommendations are not relevant".
It is a very competitive world out there, and LinkedIn provides a vast array of tools to promote yourself, your brand, and your future. Start learning how to effectively use LinkedIn now, before you need it!

The small market town of Khun Yuam services the local villages situated in the Yuam River valley, approximately half way between Mae Hong Son and Mae Sariang. It is quite bustling in the mornings as lots of Hmong, Karen and even the rarely encountered Lawa people from the surrounding hills come into town to sell or buy goods but otherwise this is a very sleepy little spot with not really a lot to see.
There are plenty of cheap local cafes around and one rather nice place to sleep, so even if Khun Yuam isn't exactly worth going out of your way to visit, it does make a good spot to break up a journey if you've had enough of local buses, if you're cycling or if you reckon the 200kms between Mae Sariang and Read our complete Khun Yuam travel guide

Recent fluctuations in the stock market and a decline in the U.S. government's bond rating have made it much more expensive to buy these long-term securities. So, even as the cash jackpot continues to grow the estimated annuity jackpot might remain the same, or even decrease, from one drawing to the next.

Each tree is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it at one half the original price, plus shipping and handling.
Our trees are delivered with natural bare roots which have been dipped in hydrating gel prior to shipment to keep the roots moist and healthy. As their abundant, fibrous roots aren't confined by a container, bare-root trees get off to a more vigorous start compared to containerized roots which typically need more time to adjust to transplanting. Bare-root trees typically surpass the size of larger containerized trees in only a few years.
Natural Root and Containerized Trees
Natural root (also called bare root) trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant in the spring and fall seasons. We dip the roots in a hydrating gel to keep them moist during shipping.
There are a number of advantages to natural root trees:
The Urban Horticulture Institute at Cornell University has an interesting article about the benefits of planting natural root trees. Look for the PDF entitled Creating the Urban Forest: The Bare Root Method
Potted (also called containerized) trees come in 4" containers.

When did you know you morphed into your father?COMSTOCK, Minn. – It wasn't so long ago that Phillip "Mack" Hermann woke to the realization that he'd become his father.
By: Helmut Schmidt, INFORUM
COMSTOCK, Minn. – It wasn't so long ago that Phillip "Mack" Hermann woke to the realization that he'd become his father.
Of course, it helped that he did that waking up on his father's old couch.
Fathers can pass many things on down to their sons and daughters – life skills, family lore, how to stay out of trouble with their mother.
But when The Forum asked readers how they knew they had morphed into their fathers, Hermann, 34, only had to look at his well-worn white couch to know the answer.
"I knew I'd become my dad when I started taking naps on the couch and then getting up only to go to bed for the evening," Hermann said.
His father gave him the couch, which saw its best days in the 1990s. Until it entered Hermann's house, he and his wife, Angie, were recliner people.
"The price was right – it was free," Hermann said. "He was glad to get rid of it. And I told him I'm keeping the $5 I found in it."
The couch first belonged to Hermann's grandmother. While dated, there is competition for it from the couple's mini Dachshund and a 90-pound boxer/Labrador retriever mix.
"There's plenty of room for all three (of us), but if they're on there before me" it won't happen. "It's comfortable for many different species," Hermann said.
In the meantime, Hermann's father, Jerry, of Georgetown, Minn., had knee surgery and is now using a lift chair, which Hermann also rates as comfy.
"I can't recall the last time I was in the recliner. This is where I sit in the morning before I go to work. And it's where I sit when I come home from work," Hermann said.
"This is comfortable. Now I understand exactly why he did what he did. And I just fell into the habit," he said.
"It's broke in. It's a pretty good thing to pass on. There's a lot of undesirable things people pass on to kids, but this is one of those desirable things most people can agree on."
When you've got an itch
Kerry McCullough knew he had become his dad when he started cleaning his ears with his keys.
"It drove me nuts!" when Milton McCullough, the family patriarch, did that, Kerry said.
"I thought. 'Don't put your keys in your ear!' Now I've done it," the Hope, N.D., 50-year-old said.
"It's handy. It's in your pocket. He'd have an itch or something, and it worked.
"He never had any hearing loss that I knew of."
Mic McCullough, who ran the Hope grocery store, was well-liked in the community. He died nearly nine years ago. In the interim, Kerry finds he's picked up another of his dad's habits. Call it a slice of North Dakota nice.
"He waved to everybody. I'd say, 'Who's that?' And he'd say. 'I don't know.'
"I find myself doing that. You drive down the highway and you wave to everybody," Kerry said.
A toast to dad
It was 1967 or 1968, and Jim Brooks was well into his 20s when he pulled into the old Fargo Elks Club.
In that era, the club was still one of the social hot spots in downtown Fargo.
Jim Brooks, now 72, remembers talking to a contemporary of his father, Lee – who had died a couple of years before in April 1965 – just outside the door to the bar.
"Then I turned to walk into the bar and the bartender came. I could see his face. And he set this Old-Fashioned down in front of me," Brooks said.
"It was my father's drink. He made a lot of them for my dad," he said.
The bartender said he looked up and Jim looked so much like his father that he automatically reached for the glass and started mixing Lee's favorite drink. Even after he realized "It's Jim, it's not Lee," he decided to serve the drink.
It was a sign of friendship from a man who knew the father to his son.
"As it turned out, we laughed about it," said Brooks, who now lives in St. Paul. "I kept my hands around the glass, and I took a sip of it."
Memories fade with time. Brooks doesn't remember the barkeep's name, but he remembers how much the gesture connected him with his father.
"Friends of dad came over and they sat and talked for a couple of hours," sharing stories with Brooks about his father.
"And it was all because the bartender looked at me and thought I looked so much like my dad," he said.
"Whenever I make an Old-Fashioned or I see an Old-Fashioned glass, I think about that," he said.
Who stepped on a duck?
Ashley Stenerson knows when she began channeling her dad.
It's when "flatulence became the funniest thing on the planet."
Apparently, any toot can set the 28-year-old Fargo woman to laughing.
"It's so funny. I just can't stop. I just can't help it," she said. "My dad … he'd let out a toot and he'd laugh and laugh and laugh."
Stenerson said her father, Geoff Dennis, of Adrian, Mich., would sometimes unleash some methane while sitting at home, or casually crop-dust a room with colon cologne as he walked on through.
"He'd be on the couch, or walking through a room, and just, 'Hello!' Just kind of whenever. And again, I don't know why it's so funny," Stenerson said.
"If someone comes up to you and lets one rip, oh, my God, it's so awful, but it's so hilarious," she said. "I'll probably pass it on by accident."
She said the same rules stand for burping and belching.
"If it's loud and obnoxious, it's funny!" Stenerson said.
Echo of the past
It's one thing to hear your father's voice in your head. It's another to hear his words come out of your mouth, said Ryan Damlo.
Damlo and his wife and two children live in Wadena, Minn., but he grew up in Park Rapids, Minn., on White Pine Resort at Two Inlets Lake.
His father owned the resort, and Damlo said he and his brothers would have to help out with chores. But his younger sister "was always given a free pass" by five little words from his dad: "She's just a little girl."
It became a running joke in the family.
But about a year ago, the 31-year-old said those words himself.
Damlo's son, Cooper, was 3 years old, and his little sister, Kylie, about 6 months old.
She had been playing with her big brother's toys, when he got mad and pulled one away from her, making her cry.
That's when Damlo said: "Cooper, give that back! She's just a little girl. And I just stopped. Oh my goodness, I've just become my father!"
Now that the initial shock has worn off, Damlo hopes the words can become a source of laughter for another generation.
"It's little words of wisdom. It's amazing how precious a daughter can be," Damlo said.
Damlo's father and mother now live in Castle Rock, Colo. And Damlo said he often calls to thank his dad for the life lessons he learned at his knee.
"I appreciate everything he's taught me. All the good values," such as fairness, Damlo said, and pass them down to Cooper.
Old guys' style
Jeff Gunkel knows when he's done a working man's labor. It's when he's wearing boots and he's got one pant leg tucked into one boot, and the other pant leg out.
Just like his dad.
"You'd always see the guy with one cuff up on his pant leg," the 50-year-old Gunkel said.
"He was a working guy. He was a carpenter. You see that in a lot of old guys," he said.
Gunkel's father, Edwin C., lived in Fargo, and died in 1992 at the age of 72.
"Appearance wasn't a real big thing. He didn't care what he wore or what he looked like," said Gunkel, who works as a system analyst for the Jamestown (N.D.) Regional Medical Center.
Giving dad a hand
Dr. Bruce Pitts realized he'd become his father "when I saw his hand coming out of my sleeve."
Pitts, 63, who is the chief medical officer for Sanford Health, said he's always been very focused on the hand.
"When I was in medical school doing dissection, I literally could not dissect the hand," said Pitts, of Fargo.
Pitts said his father, Thomas Edgar Pitts, a retired engineer, is 88 and living in Rhode Island.
"He was always busy. … Every night he'd sit and he'd be drawing machine parts on a pad and working on a slide rule. And I always remember watching his hands."
Pitts was in his 40s when he made the connection. He remembers sitting at a clinical unit in a hospital in the middle of the night when he made the realization, which both alarmed and gratified him.
"I looked down at my hand, and it was my father's hand.
"It was, for me, very expressive of the genetic, physical, unchanging" ties to his father.
"That was just a very striking moment for me. It really connected him to me (in a way) that I had not felt very connected before," Pitts said.
"I guess I've always had a focus on hands. ... They are especially human to me. And just a lot of memories of his."

Marylanders are gaining a reputation for their use of foul language, says WJZ TV.
The Marchex Institute study scanned for curse words, then linked the frequency of those words with all 50 states. Researchers examined more than 600,000 phone calls from the past 12 months placed by consumers to businesses across 30 industries, including cable and satellite companies, auto dealerships, pest control centers and more.
Following Washington State in the "Goody Two Shoes" category – states where people are least likely to curse – were Massachusetts (2nd place), Arizona (3rd place), Texas (4thplace), and neighboring Virginia (5th place), the study said.
Ranking behind Ohio in the "Sailors" category – states where people are most likely to curse – were: Maryland (2nd place), New Jersey (3rd place), Louisiana (4th place), and Illinois (5th place).
The survey also showed that 66 percent of those who curse are men, and the incidence of cursing greatly increased if a customer service call was longer than 10 minutes, according to WJZ.

"We wanted to take all of this great art and give people a reason to linger over it," says MacLaren of the art gallery-cum-wine bar that opened at the beginning of August in an airy space on the east end of Colorado Ave. These new Telluride entrepreneurs have found a niche, settling a traditional wine bar in an imaginative setting amid the bright acrylic paintings of artist Cathy Carey, the subtle tones of Linda Leslie's oil-on-canvas landscapes and MacLaren's own striking photographic images, alongside a lively assortment of works from other American Southwest-inspired painters, potters, sculptors and photographers.
The partners own an art gallery of the same name on Santa Fe's Canyon Road, and they have created Telluride's Arroyo in the same creative vein, but with a flavorful twist.
Arroyo's selection of wine offers "something for every taste and every budget," says Murphy, of his and MacLaren's top picks. With a range of selections to satisfy wine connoisseurs and casual tasters alike, the two take pride in delivering the highest quality wines at the most reasonable prices – a business philosophy they anticipate will provide a long-term recipe for success in Telluride's vacillating seasonal market.
They found the Colorado Ave. space, formerly home to the Panhandler kitchen store, in December of last year. But while they loved the location, they worried that it was neither the right time nor the right place for opening a conventional art gallery. After numerous trips to Telluride, they a traditional wine bar would fit the bill, and so the wine bar/art gallery concept was hatched.
So far, it has drawn enthusiastic reviews from locals and visitors alike. Still in its infancy, Arroyo has already attracted a steady following, its customers drawn to the unfussy yet calm setting featuring art that deserves contemplation and a welcoming bar. Arroyo offers a simple menu, comprised of locally crafted artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, handcrafted gourmet wraps and truffles and desserts from Telluride Truffles. The business has already hosted fully catered special events, partnering with local restaurants and private caterers for everything from birthday parties to intimate rehearsal dinners.
The gallery, meanwhile, draws from a diverse group of nearly 40 artists, with exhibits that rotate monthly. MacLaren and Murphy say that, with its sophisticated setting and reasonably priced offerings at Arroyo hope, they to anticipate attracting a discerning clientele in today's still-shaky economic climate.
"Our thought was that the one thing people are most looking for are experiential vacations, where part of what they take home is the memory, and not necessarily any physical thing," MacLaren explains of the Arroyo business concept of combining fine art and fine wine into one accessible package.
"People are still going out, but it's more to venues like this," Murphy says. "This is part of the new post-recession fabric of life – lighter fare, in a comfortable yet sophisticated place…and it still gives you the social component enjoyed at a fine restaurant."
Arroyo is open late, until at least 11 p.m., offering an alternative to Telluride's traditional late-night venues, while also filling a niche as a place to visit before or after a dinner out.
"We hope to fill that niche that we wanted to discover when we came here [to visit], and were looking for somewhere to go at 9 or 9:30 at night," Murphy says.
Murphy spent 16 years as a tax attorney in New York City, and MacLaren comes from a background as an art historian and many years in corporate sales. Both men describe themselves as "serial entrepreneurs," and Arroyo showcases the culmination of their mutual love of both art and wine, in a setting that's blissfully free of the exaggerated overtones of a stuffy art gallery or snobby wine bar. As Murphy notes, "Nothing here is static – neither the art nor the wine."
The gallery is currently accepting submissions for its annual juried art show. Ten finalists will be selected for Arroyo's November Juried Group Show, in which each artist will feature one piece at both the Telluride and Santa Fe galleries. A grand prizewinner will be selected by Jamie Markle, Publisher and Editorial Director of art publishers FW Media, and will be featured in a one-person show at Arroyo Santa Fe in May and will receive a five-night stay at the Fairmont Heritage Place El Corazon de Santa Fe. For more information stop by the gallery at 220 E. Colorado Ave, or visit www.arroyotelluride.com.

Driving home from the pancake breakfast at 1:30 Sunday February 10th , we notice a helicopter flying alarmingly close to power line towers, hovering for 45 seconds – 3 minutes and moving on towards the next tower. It wasn't that concerning until it was above a residential neighborhood in Morton. So I did what anyone who remembers 9/11 would do, I tried to report the activity.
First, I called Peoria Regional Airport security. They said they wouldn't have any idea about it. They blew me off saying that wouldn't be in their area of concern to contact Federal Aviation. (309) 697-8272
Morton Police took the call. Did not say what they would do to follow up. I web searched Federal Aviation Administration but had difficulty finding their contact number.
Frustrated, I called Transportation Security Administration because they were the only ones with a number listed 24/7 hotline. Spoke with Mike Humenan who suggested to call local area police and the electric company, to find out if they have access because they are flying pole to pole. He did take my call seriously and was helpful in finding out what was actually going on.http://contact.tsa.dhs.gov/default.aspx
Phone: 1-866- GA SECURE or 1-866-427-3287
I called AmerenEU and they transferred to AmerenCilco. There was no AmerenCilco contact number on their website. Talked with Scott, he said that there wouldn't be anyway that it was AmerenCilco because they would use a truck with a lift. I explained it was very disconcerting because it was near a residential area and that I was amazed that no one else was concerned about this. He said he was concerned about it, but that it wasn't their helicopter.
I called TSA back and spoke with Mike Humenan and he asked if I minded being written as the contact person in the report. I told him no and that my husband was out getting video of it and that he would be able to blow it up on computer to get number. Mike said if I could get number to call it back in. My husband took the camera and filmed them going all the way down to Springfield Rd. and landing next to a cell tower, to get the number N371EE off the blue bottom helicopter with white top. Meanwhile, I spoke to person at the Pekin Power plant and they knew nothing about it saying we'd have to call the parent company Midwest Generation, which is not available to contact on Sundays. http://www.edison.com/ourcompany/mwg.asp
The TSA agent called back and said he had run the number and found out it was hired out by the power company to do observation work. He also added that he had googled the number and found out it had been filmed in an episode of CSI. We googled the plane number and got 8 results. We found it is a 1989 McDonnell Douglas owned by Haverfield International Inc. Haverfield International does have Consolidated Edison companies listed as one of their clients, but how is a citizen supposed to know what is legitimate activity on a Sunday afternoon and what is not? http://www.haverfield.com/clients.html

Cultura Latina in Gringo Music Videos
This seems like a rather random category, and it isn't one you'll find on the Billboard Charts – but I can't help but congratulate these gringos on adding a little sabor to their music videos.
Sara Bareilles – Gonna Get Over You: Not sure why everyone turns into 1950′s greasers in this video, but I love that it was filmed in a Latino market.
(Korean group) Mighty Mouth – LaLaLa: That's right, even Asia can't help but throw a fiesta.
Madonna – Take a Bow: Madonna who once played Eva Perón in the movie Evita, ("Don't Cry for Me Argentina! The truth is I never left you!…"), is perhaps one of the first gringas to appreciate Latin American culture and use some Spanish in her music, ("La Isla Bonita" anyone?) … "Take a Bow" with the classic Spanish bullfighter is my favorite video by her though.
El Dusty AKA DJ DUS – K Le Pasa: I discovered this at Remezcla.com: This one is cheating. El Dusty isn't a gringo, but the papel picado and the piñata are too much to pass up. I so want to party with these people.
Justin Timberlake – Señorita : I have mixed feelings for JT, kind of like I have for Pitbull. He's clearly objectifying women… but damn he's good. In this video he seduces several "señoritas." While I love the hell out of this song, I actually don't see a whole lot of Latin culture in the video unless you count the chicas not wearing pants, (one of them is wearing a serape!)… All my Latina friends totally dress like that by the way …{wink}
Can you think of any others? Add them in comments!
Posted on December 28, 2011, in Culture, música and tagged Latin American culture, music, videos. Bookmark the permalink. 9 Comments.
The first one I thought of was Gwen Stefani "Luxurious"- from la Virgen camisa and piñatas to the backyard pachanga and the chola makeup it's all Latina!
They didn't make an official music video for this song, but judging by the lyrics, it would have been full of Latina culture. 'My Baby No Esta Aqui No More' by Garth Brooks.

I loved the Sara Bareillas video either and loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Sorry a little late but I just discovered your blog after watching your awesome video- "Shit Salvadorans Say" :). Here's a cool video that came to mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6gHLHbYVeA Takes place in a Hispanic convenience store and the guy has a crush on the Latina! Heartbreaker by MSTRKRFT

Memory of Prefontaine prevalent at trials as Rupp breaks 5,000 record
Story Highlights
A main attraction at trials is Pre's Rock, where fans pay homage to legend
Steve Prefontaine was larger-than-life figure before he died in 1975 car crash
Galen Rupp completed 10K, 5K sweep by breaking Pre's record with 13:22.6 in 5K
EUGENE, Ore. -- At first there was a just a solitary soul standing at Pre's Rock on Thursday morning. Her name is Laura Lee, 50, from Boulder, Colo., where she works for a shoe company whose name and logo are not splashed all over this pristine city, but nonetheless has its own business to transact at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials. Lee had run from down on Franklin Boulevard in the valley up the steep, winding (is it insensitive to say treacherous in this context? Because they are treacherous) roads -- Fairmount Boulevard, Birch Lane and finally, Skyline Drive -- that lead to the Rock, and now she stood sweating in the rising sun. She did this because she's old enough to know the story behind the Rock and also, maybe more importantly, because she told her son, 16-year-old high school runner Zane Jeffress, that she would make the pilgrimage.
She was alone there for a few minutes, just looking at the outcropping of charcoal gray rock struck by Steve Prefontaine's sports car on the night of May 30, 1975. The car flipped over, pinning Prefontaine underneath and he died there in the road on Skyline Drive, 24 years old, famous then and in ways both inspirational (mostly) and a little discomforting (sometimes), more famous now. "I told Zane all about Pre,'' says Lee, never taking her eyes off the rock. "And now he just worships him.''
Soon there were others at the rock. A middle-aged man and his son from Pennsylvania. Two college runners from Ohio. Three high school coaches from California. A celebrity endurance athlete with a full-fledged entourage. A high school cross-country coach from Florida. A guy who says he grew up down the at bottom of the hill. Together they looked at the Rock. Sometimes they would look over their shoulders at the roadway from whence Prefontaine came on that night, a narrow serpentine byway carved from a hillside of tall pines.
If you look at the picture or video shot by SI's Bill Frakes above, you can pretty much see what Pre's Rock looks like. It is a compact wall of hard, scratchy boulders in an irregular vertical mosaic. There are no other such features nearby. The top and sides of the rock are infringed upon by creeping kudzu-like vinery. Prominent at eye level is a hand-painted eulogy: PRE 5-30-75 R.I.P. It looks to have been repainted regularly by someone. (I wondered who would do that job, so I asked Tom Jordan, the respected director of the annual Prefontaine Classic meet, author of a book on Prefontaine, friend of the Prefontaine family and all-around go-to source on All Things Pre. His answer: "Yes, someone repaints the date each year but like the tributes left at E.A. Poe's grave, I don't know who.'')
Next to that is a more faded message, RUN PRE. There is a formal tombstone at ground level, featuring the (literally) timeless head shot of Prefontaine taken by legendary photographer Brian Lanker. Visitors to the rock have left pieces of their lives: A pair of running shoes, a T-shirt, a wilted yellow rose.
Prefontaine died here after running a meet at Hayward Field and then partying with running friends up the road from the Rock. His last stop was to drop off Frank Shorter. Four years ago I wrote a little on SI.com about Prefontaine in connection with the Trials and I'm comfortable repeating that stance here: There is no need to belabor Prefontaine's passing. He was legally intoxicated at the time of his death. Local legend -- and a well-researched section in former Sports Illustrated writer Kenny Moore's book, Bowerman and the Men of Oregon -- suggests that another car might have run Prefontaine's sports car off the road.
At the time of Prefontaine's death, he held every American track record from 2,000 meters to 10,000 meters. In the pre-Internet, three-channel television world he was a figure of powerful -- yet hazy -- significance to runners. Not just for his performances, but for this his passion. He liked to run at the front and run hard. He threw his personality behind the battle to make runners professionals.
These qualities outlived him through the 1980s and into the 1990s, but exploded into full-blown mythology in the middle of the 1990s with the release of three movies: A documentary called Fire on the Track, and two Hollywood features: Prefontaine' and Without Limits. Both movies included Prefontaine's heartbreaking fourth-place finish in the 5,000 meters at the 1972 Olympics in Munich. And both movies lionized Prefontaine for forcing the pace in that race with a mile to run, the signature push among many in his career.
There was a book by Jordan just on Prefontaine and Moore's book on Prefontaine's coach, Bill Bowerman, in which Prefontaine was prominently featured. (In Eugene, Prefontaine's enduring presence is a hundredfold more pervasive; it seems difficult to live through a day without coming across some reminder that Prefontaine once ran here.)
Heath Harris, 21, and Albert Brannan, 22, both run track and cross-country at Akron University. They made the trip to Eugene to see the Trials and, like Laura Lee, they ran up to Pre's Rock on Thursday morning. "If you're here, you don't want to miss coming up here,'' said Harris, chest heaving from the short, steep climb up from Birch onto Skyline. "When I was younger I watched all three movies, and then as I've gotten older, I've learned more about what he represented.'' Harris pauses and then unleashes his inner track nut on me: "You know,'' he says, "He's still Top 10 on the all-time high school list, 8:44 for two miles.''
Nearby is Jeff Brandt, a balding and bespectacled 57-year-old man from Danville, Pa. He says he was in attendance on Jan. 10, 1975, when Prefontaine was outkicked by Marty Liquori in an indoor mile at Cole Field House on the campus of the University of Maryland. "I was watching on my black-and-white TV when he ran at the Olympics in '72,'' says Brandt, who was in Eugene for the first time. He brought his son, Chris, 20, a college cross-country runner whose roommate educated him on Pre culture.

Like what you see on DAM? Wish there was a way to get more to keep your creativity on its toes?
Now there is. Yes, MAM!
MAM (monthly art muse) is a private newsletter offering more inspiration, tips, techniques, tools and other kernels of art-related goodness from around the web.
I search the Internet extensively researching artists to feature on Daily Art Muse. Along the way I find things that I know will delight you, make you scratch your head and say "I wish I thought of that", kick your mojo into high gear. . .but they don't necessarily fit DAM's contemporary fine craft showcase format.
And sometimes I just want to continue the conversation that I started on DAM.
Monthly Art Muse brings you those 'finds' and takes DAM posts to another level – all for only $4.99/mth. It is a great way for you to support Daily Art Muse
What's In The Current Issue?
This month I got carried away looking for rock art and it quickly spun into a rock-heavy issue of MAM for you. BIG, small, painted, stacked, assembled, fabricated, drilled – rocks. We even dig deep into the DAM archives for rock posts from over the last several years.
But it's not only about rocks – there are tiaras to see, precious metal clay mezuzahs, plasticine illustrations, whimsical sculptural rings. Oh, and discover a new use for gypsum that might surprise you. . .all of this and more on the pages of the April issue of MAM.
See you next month!
P.S. Want a sneak peek? You can download the first issue of MAM (August 2013) for FREE right here.

The new roman shade looks amazing. I was nervous as this was the first time I've installed and purchased a blind without professional help. It was a breeze. It only took about 20 minutes to install on the window. I have now purchased more blinds for other windows knowing how easy it was.View this product

What Parents Are Saying About 'The Lego Movie'
"The Lego Movie" opened to $69 million and acclaim from kid viewers and their accompanying parents!
Posted by Tara May Tesimu ,
"The Lego Movie" opened in theaters this weekend.
Comments + Leave a Comment
LYNN February 09, 2014 at 03:03 PM
Sorry, while the Lego part was great, the dialogue could have been written by a six year old. You sit there thinking, am I REALLY hearing these respectable actors say these stupid words for 90 minutes?? The whole thing made me cringe and realize AGAIN the garbage being fed to our kids. If you DON't have a problem with it, that is saying some thing. Our kids are smarter and deserve better.
MAGGIE February 09, 2014 at 03:23 PM
I thought the movie was great, given its intended audience and plot. These Lego movies are notoriously goofy (if you've ever seen the star wars ones, you will know what I mean) and not meant to be particularly intellectually stimulating...I mean, the main audience is kids! I think they did a wonderful job getting across the point that , as Einstein put it, and the young hero showed his dad, "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
Dirk Anderson February 09, 2014 at 04:52 PM
Wow, lighten up a little there Lynn. No, it isn't some literary masterpiece. Newsflash, its for small children. The fact that you DO have a problem with it speaks wonders.
SIlas February 09, 2014 at 05:28 PM
Lynn - I look forward to your first movie release... when is it again?
Brooke Vernick February 09, 2014 at 05:48 PM
Wow! Let's not forget who the intended audience is! My son, a big Lego fan, really liked it...and that is what matters to me!
Thomas Perez February 09, 2014 at 10:44 PM
I watched the preview and believing i'm an analytical thinker, the first thing that grasped my attention was "Over priced coffee? A $37.00 cup of coffee"? Thats awesome"!!! No,no,no that's not awesome! This is intended for children. Maybe i'm being too cynical and skeptical. The movie is probably wonderful. I just hope the kids can decipher what they are hearing. I'm concerned about raising a nation of happy idiots :)
Michael S. February 10, 2014 at 12:13 AM
Everything is awesome, everything is cool when you're part of a team. Everything is awesome, when you're living out your dreams. I took my kids to see it and while i personally think it is just a horrible animated version of the matrix my kids liked it. I think some adults are trying to analyze it a bit too much. it is a kids movie. there are a few things the adults probably will pick up on and enjoy but it is a kids movie. if you expect 6 year olds to function on the exact same level as adults you will be sorely disappointed. let kids be kids and enjoy childish things. if you can't enjoy it that is your problem but don't take away a childs childhood because you can't tolerate childish things.
JIM COLETTO February 10, 2014 at 05:57 AM
if they are going to do more kids movies, give the kids something to spark thier imaginations, lego movie?..please
chris February 10, 2014 at 11:30 AM
when i went to the movie the entire theater was at least 90% little kids (4,5,6) and they were behaving amazingly well, no crying, no yelling or talking, no wandering around which to me is the best review of all. the people who are squawking that the movie wasn't smart enough or just plain dumb either did not see it or have no kids or have older kids.. my review is that it was AWESOME!
Kelly Howard February 10, 2014 at 12:15 PM
I first heard about The Lego Movie a year ago from then 9 year old son when there was an article in the Lego Magazine he receives monthly. We're not huge movie theater goers, but I knew we would be at the Rialto for this one. The excitement rose as each commercials and online trailers played months before it came out, and when I downloaded the theme song the week before he near exploded with joy. The movie is primarily for kids, but it's also for adults as a reminder to stop being so dang serious and to stop making kids (and childlike things such as Legos) be so adult like. Childhood is short enough and the imagination of a child is greater than any think tank out there. I loved the movie, my son and I laughed over and over again. We went to first screening at the Rialto which had a large number of kids and adults. Everyone was well behaved and respectful (there was shushing from the kids as it started) and at the end there was a round of applause from kids and adults alike. I have recommended it to everyone I know...with or without kids, and I am planning to take my son again to see it as a Valentine's Day present (in 3D this time) on Friday. EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
Bad Kitty No Milk Tonight February 10, 2014 at 01:40 PM
The Lego Movie while being perhaps the best sales pitch for a toy line, is also a brilliant, witty and technically astonishing achievement, this is stop motion animation where everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, even water, soap, and clouds are made out of Lego bricks, the shear technicality makes this a movie to be seen if for that alone. Yes its a simple story line, but then the reason for that (plot, characters and dialog) gets revealed near the end, and the ultimate message, is a very sincere one. I think thats been missed here by too many who are only looking at it from a very adult perspective, they have completely missed the entire point of the movie. This is every bit as good as any of the Toy Story movies, go see it, and yes everything IS awesome!
Bad Kitty No Milk Tonight February 10, 2014 at 01:49 PM
@ Jim Coletto You clearly have NOT seen the movie and have NO CLUE WHAT you are saying, the movie is ENTIRELY about the power of a child's imagination and creativity and the empowerment that brings, by far one the most positive messages I have on-screen in a long time. Next time try watching the movie before commenting on it, you'll look like less of a tool.
Nero Goth February 10, 2014 at 04:02 PM
@Lynn/Vera et al Children movie: Intended audience between 3-9 Kids movie: Intended audience between 10-15 Teen Movie: Intended Audience 16-19 Seemingly in this day and age there has been a total disregard for the young people audience breakdown, and instead to clump them together as 'kids' with 'as mature dialogue as I (adult) would use' (aka TEENS) to be the standard for anything not 'Adult'. Disney barely plays back to Children and Kids 'of all ages' (note the keywords here) but instead also plays to this new 'Kids' standard (really does my 9 year old daughter need to see Hannah Montana worry about dating boys for the Prom?). Your comments further seem to have forgotten the intended audience, CHILDREN, not Teens, not Young Adults nor 'Kids' (what often rebranded as the Tweens). This is not "idiocy" of people, this is just being silly as a 6 year old is. It seems so many seem to have forgotten or missed the whole 3yr old to 12yr old years and speak to the 'children' as though they were just Adults with all the expected same 'mature level' thought, discussional points, vocabulary and goals as a Adult. I think you all need to really take a trip back to DisneyLand/World and really think about the whole purpose Walt and others tried to bring to people. Look at it with happy eyes, a sense of humor, and just think back to when you were a child wide eyed and innocent, and leave the 'world' outside the gates of the Happiest Place on Earth.. in this case, outside of the lobby of the theater and take a hour or two to just be silly.
Matt Smith February 10, 2014 at 05:37 PM
My son and I really enjoyed this film, I thought it was great! For those of you that did not like the movie, remember, this is for kids, not you! This movie was far better than the garbage that Nick and Disney are showing. How about getting down on the floor and actually playing with you kids, their way! Otherwise, turn your TV to iCarly or Kickin' It and let their minds melt. Thankfully, there seems to be more parents who get it and enjoyed it than those that do not.
Michael S. February 12, 2014 at 12:13 AM
LYNN, If I give you a straw, would you go suck the fun out of someone else's day? Seems like you are the only one here who doesn't like the movie. And if it seems like it is written by a six year old, look at the child who is telling the story in the movie. Again children do not think rationally like adults because their mind hasn't been polluted with laws, theories, and garbage. Let children be children and quit expecting them to grow up so fast. there is plenty of time to be an adult, but you only get so many years to enjoy childhood.
Charles d'Blanc February 19, 2014 at 03:39 PM
Actually the movie is better afterward when you think about it. It's about a child's imagination and in that light, the movie's details are rather complex. As my wife and I were leaving, I overheard a guy say, "I never thought I'd almost cry at a Lego movie." (I didn't get into it until the humans showed up at the end.)

2014 Proxy Season Opens with 3 New Companies, Strong Vote
CF Industries Holdings, Inc., an Illinois-based fertilizer company, has adopted a strong political disclosure policy less than a year after its shareholders sent a resounding message in favor of transparency.
Last year, shareholders voted 66 percent in support of a resolution for the company to disclose its political spending and give details about its procedures for making such spending decisions.
The New York State Common Retirement Fund initiated that resolution. �CF Industries has responded to widespread shareholder support for transparency on its political spending," said New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. "The company's disclosure gives shareholders important insight into where corporate dollars are directed for political purposes.�
CF Industries� action mirrored a recent pattern of companies adopting political disclosure and accountability following strong shareholder votes on proxy resolutions advocating the same goals.
These companies include Century Link, after a shareholder vote of 41.08 percent support, in 2013; RR Donnelley & Sons, 48.70 percent, in 2012; Halliburton, 46.46 percent, in 2012; State Street Corporation, 44.08 percent, in 2012; and Wellcare Health Plans, 52.66 percent, in 2013.
CF Industries said its Code of Corporate Conduct, stating company policies on political activities and contributions, is posted on the company�s website.
The company said a report of political contributions will be posted on the website semiannually. It will list payments to candidate campaigns, political parties or committees, and politically active tax-exempt organizations; for trade associations to which it pays $20,000 or more, the report will disclose the portion of dues the trade association says is used for lobbying and political purposes.
Meanwhile Peabody Energy, which describes itself as the world�s largest private-sector coal company, agreed to adopt a robust corporate political disclosure and accountability policy. The City of Philadelphia Firefighters agreed to withdraw its shareholder resolution for 2014 after Peabody Energy reached the agreement.
Also adopting a disclosure and accountability policy was EQT Corporation, a natural gas producer. Clean Yield engaged the company and withdrew its resolution following the agreement. The latest actions brought to 122 the number of publicly held U.S. companies adopting political transparency and accountability as a result of agreements with CPA and its investor partners.
In the first shareholder vote of the 2014 proxy season, shareholders at Mississippi-based Emerson Electric Co. supported by a 47 percent vote a disclosure and accountability resolution sponsored by Trillium Asset Management.
CPA began pressing more than a decade ago, with shareholder partner groups, for corporations to voluntarily disclose their political spending. �The momentum is with us,� said CPA President Bruce Freed. �At the kickoff of a new proxy season, this increasingly mainstream trend toward disclosure is continuing.�

"Loved this product but, as with all printing jobs for contrasty black and white images, i wish i would have lightened the image up a bit, the printing came out a bit darker than i would have liked but I should have known better."
"Great way to announce your baby! Our friends and family loved the cards. Excellent quality. Great layout. It covers all the information you would want to include, and you don't have to figure out the layout yourself!! I loved the square card, and used the regular postage envelope option. Even the envelopes are great quality. Highly recommended!"
"We used this card with full color pictures, and the printing came out great. I put a photo on the back with the patterned background, which was a little busy, but still cute. Very well designed, great printing job, and the shipment delivered early!! I would totally recommend this card!"
"This was a really nice announcement. It was supper easy to personalize, I tried many variations before deciding. I even put an extra picture on the back. Ordering was a snap. The shipping was really quick, in fact I was surprised how fast they came. The paper was a nice quality, and the printing was perfect. Everyone who received one commented on how cute they were (of course a cute baby will do that!). I feel like these announcements were a good value. I will definitely order from TinyPrints again."
"This postcard announcement was perfect! I loved being able to write a little note to family and friends. The light blue and gray colors looked great and the overall quality of paper and printing couldn't have been better. I will definitely order from here again."
