|I bet you that he was supposed to be the fifth Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but since they ran out of names of famous artists, they showed poor Harold the way out and that is why he resents the TMNT so much
|Jul 7th, 2008 03:20 AM
thats probably it
edit: or start a fire someplace

|Bottle rockets are banned where I live, but it seems that artillery shells are okay to use. That's some strange logic.

|This is the second best story about a Turtle getting Fireworks from a Gopher in an underground animal kingdom, while the kid turtle poops where it swims, ever!

Not your best work =(
Can't always be awesome hilarious though.

And as a cultural note, in Mexico City is illegal to light fireworks in public spaces, due to the pollution caused by it and the fact that, as the city is in a valley, air pollution from surrounding states gather in our city (yeah, polluted air, water, food, high altitude... we're almost invincible).
But if you fire them inside your house (like in rooftops, front or back garden) you're OK, so everybody lights fireworks on our holidays. Some of them are better than the official ones.
|Jul 3rd, 2008 07:16 PM
Love how the Gopher's Firework shop just appears.
It's simply epic.
|Jul 3rd, 2008 06:32 PM
|Fireworks are Illegal where I live. On another hand, I'd watch the hell out of a sitcom about the Turtle Family. Ans it better have a catchy theme!
|Jul 3rd, 2008 04:22 PM
|thats adorablelil turtle tut satire of the american lifestyle, especially when it comes down to how it really works, which is remarkably true.
|Jul 3rd, 2008 09:50 AM
|God bless America, did that fill me with patriotic joy. It captured all that's great with this country; families hating each other, ousting "different looking" people as terrorists, and gophers selling firecrackers. Happy 4th, every one... and try not to poop where you swim!
|Jul 3rd, 2008 09:48 AM
|You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
|Jul 3rd, 2008 09:11 AM
Looks like my old pet turtle, Pwoskipi.
Pwoskipi! You didn't die after all! But I never knew you were so angry.
|Jul 3rd, 2008 08:02 AM
|this sir, is truly epic, i shall have it engraved in solid diamond 5000 ft high, and have politicians sacrificed to it daily.
|Jul 3rd, 2008 07:43 AM
That's the most angry turtle I've ever seen in a comic.
If what the gopher says is correct, then all these years of watching how giraffes and elephants mate in the Discovery Channel clearly have been a waste of time as those terrorists fooled me by not showing the real dirty business that is going through.

Giving up in Vietnam was a huge blow to the U.S., especially since militarily we were winning but the press rounded up enough public opinion against it that we abandoned the people we promised to save and left them to their fate at the hands of Uncle Ho's army and "reeducation" camps. Maybe people were looking to prevent the same here, except now it isn't some tribe among a bigger tribe, but the entire female half of the population.
I don't think that was the trigger of the war though, nor was it an electoral stunt. AQ carried out the largest terrorist attack in history on us. To do nothing was to invite more. The organization had to simply be put down. Sure, they have struck since then in Spain, the United Kingdom, and many other places but always on a smaller scale. They are not what they once were. Their strongest leaders are dead or captured, and AQ has fragmented into smaller pieces that are constantly on the run lest they risk being targetted. The problem is, much as we had an opportunity to do after the Soviet Union collapsed, we have an opportunity to nation build, and most importantly, get people an education. The results take decades to bear fruit though, are expensive, and there are no metrics to measure success while such projects are progressing. This is far more complex and difficult than bombing people, so here we are, not doing it.
I think nation building was the way to go, but there has not been the political will to do so, and the longer we go, the more difficult it would be.

Coaster Stock Business Card
We designed this identity with mountaineering in mind. Saying "10 Zing Consulting - Helps you reach the top" would have been really lame. So we wrapped that message into the design with the shape. Show it, don't say it. We went lo-fi with the production and used a 55pt coaster board with 2 color letterpress. Then the pieces were steel rule die cut. Coaster board works OK for letterpress printing, but isn't the best if you are looking for a deep impression. The material core is soft and the surface will tend to crack if you drive the plate to deep. It also sucks up the ink and requires heavy ink lay down.
In addition to our design work, our letterpress room prints projects for designers and agencies all over the country. Contact us for an estimate on your project.

On August 26, 2017 Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Houston, Texas bringing with it record breaking rainfall and it became the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States with an estimated $200 billion in damage. At its height, Harvey displaced more than 30,000 people in the Houston area and while rebuilding efforts have been ongoing, there is much work to do.
This program is an opportunity to give back and help Houston homeowners recover from the effects of Harvey. Participants will be spending their days working under the direction of Westcoast Connection and SBP and their AmeriCorps members in Houston on an active build site to directly help with the rebuilding efforts.
SBP is a national organization born out of the rebuilding process of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans with the goal of shrinking the time between disaster and recovery. Since 2006, SBP has directly rebuilt homes for more than 1,300 families with the help of more than 180,000 volunteers across the country. SBP has committed to supporting long-term recovery in Texas and has opened an office in Houston to conduct operations.

Developing a device that generates nuclear fusion would provide a nearly limitless amount of clean energy on Earth. But while work on thermonuclear fusion began in the 1950s, engineers are still trying to make this goal a reality. One approach has been to use magnetic confinement devices known as tokamaks. See why a group of engineers at MIT's Plasma Science Fusion Center (PSFC) turned to simulation to address a key challenge in tokamak design: instability due to plasma disruptions.Read More

If you've ever worked with the Terminal boundary condition in COMSOL Multiphysics, you know that this electrical boundary condition can apply a current or voltage, among other options. But did you know that you can also dynamically switch between excitation types during a transient simulation? This is useful if you are trying to model a current- or voltage-limited power supply, for example. Today, we will look at how to implement such a switching behavior.Read More

Max Schaefer is one of the founders of Blizzard North and Runic Games, meaning he has games like Diablo II and Torchlight on his resume. Add "incredibly good sport" to his list of achievements, based on this incredibly awkward live action role-playing scenario put together by the folks at PCGames.de.
To Schaefer's credit, his attempts at LARPing are sufficiently within the standard awkwardness levels of people dressing up in silly costumes and swatting at each other with harmless swords. Schaefer's fighting "Diablo" with blade and torch (geddit!) while putting on a very brave face.
To sum up: You should probably buy Torchlight II when it comes out so this wasn't all for naught.

The Iranian economy is starting to feel the sting from a raft of banking sanctions applied by the US to pressure Tehran over its controversial nuclear drive, analysts said.
Washington has blacklisted Iran's three main banks and has also successfully encouraged virtually all major European banks to cut business with the Islamic republic.
"Practically all the major European banks have ceased their cooperation with Iran," said an official from Iran's Export Development Bank, who asked not to be named.
"It is no longer possible to wire money by dollar into Iran and for the payments in euro there are just three European banks. They could stop cooperating with us at any moment," the official said.
British-Asian bank HSBC and the Swiss giants UBS and Credit Suisse were the first to cut business with Iran last year while Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank and BNP Paribas have followed suit this year.
Meanwhile, Washington has blacklisted Iranian banks Melli, Mellat and Saderat, accusing them of acting as a conduit for "terrorist financing" -- something the banks vehemently deny.
The decision has effectively cut the Iranian banks off from the dollar-based financial system and turned them into pariah institutions with whom their foreign counterparts are unwilling to deal.
"There has never been a single example of the involvement of the bank in any illegal activity," Bank Mellat said in an angry statement rejecting the allegations.
But it acknowledged the measures would be felt by ordinary Iranians: "It may inflict harm on the lives of ordinary people using services."
The moves against the Iranian financial system have been in parallel to two sets of UN sanctions against its ballistic missile and nuclear programs. But it is the unilateral US actions that are being felt most keenly in Iran.
In essence, the sanctions aim at cutting off Iran's financial lifeblood.
Foreign banks, who were already refusing to accept letters of credit issued by their Iranian counterparts, are now refusing to carry out even simple operations of money transfers to Iran.
"We wanted to import equipment to construct prefabricated houses but the Australian banks refused to accept letters of credit," said Touraj, an Iranian businessman who preferred not to give his surname.
Even Asian banks from countries that still have close economic links with Iran -- such as South Korea and China -- have been imposing restrictions on business with the Islamic republic.
"The big banks from China, one of Iran's most important partners, are now refusing to deal with Iran as they have important interests in the United States and fear reprisals," said Mehrdad Mahmoudi, a leading currency dealer.
Even banks on the Arabian peninsula -- notably those from the United Arab Emirates -- a US ally and Iran's No. 1 trading partner -- may not be prepared to deal with the Islamic republic over the long haul.
"Iranian banks can still use the services of small Asian banks or the Persian Gulf but that will not last forever," said Bijan Khajepour, director of Atieh Consulting in Tehran.
"Firms are increasingly having to pay in cash or go through a third country to import their goods which will make the finished product even more expensive," he said.
Iran's status as the world's fourth-largest oil exporter and OPEC's second-largest means it cannot allow itself to become detached from the world economy.

Hello again, folks! It's time for a new edition of Throwback Thursday! On today's #TBT, we'll be discussing G. Polya's classic, How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method.
Originally published in 1945, Polya's book is a brilliant guide to heuristic reasoning. It presents a mathematical method of problem-solving, and shows that any problem — mathematical or otherwise — that can be "reasoned" out can be solved by moving past irrelevancies and going straight to its core. Called an "important contribution to the teacher's art" by the American Journal of Psychology, this books is an important and enjoyable read for students of all kinds of disciplines. A new paperback edition, the first since 2004, will be released this month.
We hope you've enjoyed this edition of #TBT! Happy Thursday!

Grant Theft Auto IV. Red Dead Redemption. L.A. Noire. For the last few years every console game from Rockstar Games has been a big deal, creatively and commercially. Next up: Max Payne 3, whose debut trailer hit today and you can see right here.
GTA is Rockstar's baby. Red Dead and L.A. Noire were the types of games no other studio was brazen enough to try. Max? That's a shooter. That's the kind of game everyone is trying to make. So can Rockstar's be special? Can it be great and important?
Max Payne 3 will be out for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC in March of next year, nine years after the last Max Payne was released. Rockstar is developing without the involvement of original series creators Remedy. The trailer implies that Max's signature bullet time is back and it sure looks like this game is going to be all about the gunplay and hard-boiled crime. Graphically, it looks superb.
Max Payne fans, do you like what you see? And can you spot any small details us non-experts may not have caught?

What To Do With…. Egg Yolks
In my survey of one (me), I have found that it is infinitely easier to find a delicious end for those egg whites. One could easily whip them up into a tall fluffy meringue or a 2 minute egg white omelet. But yolks? Hmm... Who has a yolk omelet?
This weekend, I made macaroons from a recipe that required three egg whites but that left me with three orphaned egg yolks. Of course, there are delicious uses for orphaned egg yolks such as a buttery hollandaise or a creamy custard base for a delicious salted caramel ice cream. But neither of those options appealed to me because they created more work rather than solved my immediate culinary dilemma.(Just because I love to cook and enjoy the time I spend in my kitchen doesn't mean I want to spend all weekend there. Hence, the temptation to throw orphaned yolks out.)
To be honest, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them until I peered into my fridge and I found my answer in the crisper...
This recipe involves juicing the lemon/lime and takes about 10 minutes of whisking and that's it. You don't need to use it immediately, but it should probably be eaten within a week.
Lemon-Lime Curd
1 lemon juiced
1 lime juiced
3 egg yolks (you may need another yolk if you need to have a thicker curd)
6-8 tbsp sugar (separated) or more to taste (if you prefer a sweeter curd, add ½c to ¾c sugar)
4 tbsp butter, separated
1. Over a pot of boiling water, set a metal mixing bowl over top. Pour the juice into the bowl, add yolks and whisk continuously. Add sugar tablespoon by tablespoon, if you like it abit tart. Check for sweetness. Add as much or as little based on your preference.
2. Add butter 1 tbsp at a time. Whisk until well incorporated.
3. Lemon curd should be thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
4. Pour into a clean container and refrigerate.
Lemon curd may be smeared on scones, or toast. Alternatively, lemon curd may be used in desserts.

This looks and sounds delicious. I confess I tend to throw those yolks away! I'll rethink that one next time.

Nice idea, I might try to add some coconut powder or milk - would it then resemble the Malaysian Kaya jam? Just a wild suggestion, anyway. Thanks for the idea. TasteHongKong

Lovely curd... I know what you mean about being left with three egg yolks. I was pretty happy to discover that you can make fabulous matcha (green tea) sablés/shortbreads with them (I posted a recipe not long ago. If you don't like green tea I guess vanilla would work too :-)

Thanks for this recipe - I want to make a curd out of my meyer lemons!

At the risk of sounding icky, my suggestion is simply to use the raw egg yolk as a dipping sauce. Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people alike will serve raw, unadulterated egg yolk along with rice dishes, noodle dishes, and meat dishes.
My favorite use of raw egg yolk: as the finishing touch on a maguro tororo-don (ahi tuna with grated sticky yam on a bed of preferably brown rice).

@ nthmost
I had raw egg yolk when I was in Japan and occassionally with hot pot. Don't think it's icky at all! :)

It used to be in New Orleans that a bar was a bar, and it served alcoholic beverages. Maybe potatoe chips were available at the counter. Not anymore. Neighborhood "dive" bars or even more upscale operations, are serving all kinds of interesting food now. They're breaking ground in ethnic fare not previously found in the city. Take Marie's Bar in the Marigny, at 2483 Burgundy St. at the corner of St. Roch. On Sundays now, there's a pop-up Filipino restaurant, Milkfish. Marie's is a quintessential "dive" bar, with locals mixing in with afterhours Bywater bohemian and hipster types. And now they can all chow down happily on a menu including Filipino classics like lumpia and chicken adobo. The chef, Christina Quackenbush, has been in the food business for a while, including bartending at the High Hat Café' and serving at Rio Mar Restaurant in the Warehouse District. A contingent of Filipinos moved to area after Katrina, joining the 2000 or so already here (according to the 2000 census), and their cuisine is diverse, spicy, and fits right in here. You can read an interview with Quackenbush here for a description of the food and her new business. http://www.bestofneworleans.com/gambit/cristina-quackenbush/Content?oid=2004793.
If you're not interested in dining in the tropics, you can try out Eastern European fare at another bar and music venue on St. Claude Avenue, Siberia. It's at 2227 St. Claude Avenue, not far from Elysian Fields Avenue. Fittingly enough, Kukhyna at Siberia, open daily from 5PM to midnight, serves Russian and Polish food. Hearty stuff, noodles and dumplings and blinis, goes well with beer and avant-garde music. Although it's known as a venue for heavy metal, Siberia also presents out-there jazz and diverse musical acts like Quintron and Miss Pussycat. It's worth checking the music calendar, but it's really worth it to try cuisine that's pretty rare this side of the Balkans. Just sub Russian vodka for the beer, and you're almost there!

Man Fails On Balance Beam Backflip, Crushes Nuts
That's not much of a backflip, dude. Missing the balance beam, landing and crushing your nuts in the process isn't a really good attempt. If people are able to make a car do a backflip, you can do a lot better than that.
This had to be staged. Hear that laughter (before the dude's moaning wails)? Unless they are entirely sadistic, no human could stand there and laugh after someone they knew just crushed their nuts on the balance beam like that. At the very least, you'd ask them if they were ok.

CAMBRIDGE, MASS. - Double-doubles by Praveen Pamidimukkala and Ryan Dean helped lead the nationally-ranked No. 14 MIT men's volleyball team to a 30-28, 30-20, 26-30, 30-26 win over Emmanuel College on Thursday night. With their fifth win in a row, the Engineers' record improved to 16-4 while the Saints dropped to 10-8 on the year. Emmanuel maintained a slim lead during the early stages of the opening game that eventually grew to three (11-8).
Tech answered with three consecutive points for the fifth tie of the game. After trading points, the Saints went up, 14-12. MIT went on to score five unanswered points, but Emmanuel continued to attack and later tied the game at 28. Following a timeout by the Engineers, Tech closed out the game with back-to-back points.
In the second stanza, MIT quickly jumped out to a 6-3 lead. The Saints responded by tallying five points in a row. A three-point spurt by the Engineers was immediately duplicated by Emmanuel. After trading points, Tech posted a 13-12 advantage. MIT maintained a one-point margin until the Saints picked up the next three for an 18-16 edge. The Engineers answered by scoring 14 of the next 16 points for the win.
Tech opened the third game with five unanswered points and sustained a sizable lead that grew to 19-10. Like the first game, Emmanuel slowly chipped away at the deficit and it eventually knotted the contest at 21. MIT captured the next point, but the Saints won the next three, marking their first lead of the game. The Engineers were able to even the game at 26, but Emmanuel notched the next four points.
In the final frame, MIT established a 14-9 advantage. The Saints stayed within striking distance and eventually overtook the Engineers with a five-point run for a 19-18 lead. Both sides traded points, but Tech scored four in a row to go ahead for good. Coming out of its own timeout, Emmanuel collected a point that cut its deficit to two (23-21). That was as close as it would get as MIT built a small cushion by posting three consecutive points.
Pamidimukkala recorded his fifth double-double of the season on 19 kills and 11 digs. Dean notched his second consecutive double-double by totaling 46 assists and a team-high 12 digs. Alex Borschow registered a career-high nine total blocks and added eight kills. Scott Pollom and Bob Aspell contributed eight and seven total blocks, respectively, while Kenneth Rosche compiled eight kills. Matthew Ng and Eugene Jang rounded out MIT's defense with nine digs apiece.
For Emmanuel, Steve Yates posted a match-high 29 kills and 15 digs. John Bluhm had a strong outing as he finished with 14 kills, 13 digs, and four aces. Pat Bemis distributed 51 assists and earned three aces while Ricky Wong collected 12 digs.
This weekend MIT will compete in the Endicott College Tournament to be held on Saturday, March 4 and Sunday March 5.

PORTSMOUTH -- The Bounty had been taking on water for hours when Chief Mate John Svendsen told Capt. Robin Walbridge it was time to abandon ship.
Walbridge said they had more time.
The wooden sailboat was heeling in 20- to 30-foot seas. The crew stood on deck in survival suits awaiting orders. The lower part of the tall ship was flooded. Water had killed the two engines and two generators. Svendsen watched another wave rush over the ship's rail.
Again, he told the captain it was time to abandon ship. Walbridge, who had skippered the ship since 1995, said not yet.
Svendsen thrust his left arm into his survival suit to show it was time to go. Walbridge agreed, but just then a wave slammed the Bounty onto its side. The crew spilled into the water to fight for their lives.
Svendsen on Tuesday related what happened to the Bounty as part of the Coast Guard's investigation into the Oct. 29 sinking of the 180-foot ship that resulted in two deaths.
About 40 people attended the hearing in a ballroom of the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel and Waterfront Conference Center. The parents of Claudene Christian, a Bounty crew member who died, were there with a lawyer. Cmdr. Kevin Carroll, chief of the Inspection and Investigations Branch for the Coast Guard's Fifth District Prevention Division, presided.
Robert Hansen, owner of the Bounty, declined to testify, invoking his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Svendsen said the Bounty's crew learned of Hurricane Sandy on Oct. 23 while docked in New London, Conn. A Minnesota man with five years' experience sailing on tall ships, he gave this account Tuesday:
Walbridge opted to sail Oct. 25 over concerns raised by Svendsen and other crew members, and relayed to Walbridge by Svendsen, who raised the prospect of staying in port. Walbridge said the ship was safer at sea than in port.
Walbridge called an all-hands meeting on deck to explain his decision to sail and to tell crew members they could get off if they wanted. All 15 crew members stayed.
The plan was to sail south and east offshore to a point where Walbridge could evaluate the path of the hurricane and pick a route.
They left New London around 5 p.m. on Oct. 25. Two days later, Walbridge changed course to the southwest to cut in front of Sandy for the lee of Hatteras Island, where he hoped for better conditions.
"Being a prudent mariner, I was concerned," Svendsen said.
Winds blew about 20 knots. The night passed in relative peace.
The next day, bilge pumps were running continually to keep up with water seeping into the ship. Problems arose. Lots of them.
The port-side engine and generator stopped running. The starboard generator was acting strange, causing lights to flicker. A fuel tank had leaked.
Walbridge had fallen into a table, and his back was in pain.
Down below, crew members worked on the generators and strained debris from the sloshing water so it wouldn't clog bilge pumps.
Svendsen suggested they contact the Coast Guard. Walbridge said to focus on the generators instead.
Around 6 p.m., Svendsen stood in howling wind on the deck with a satellite phone. He had a garbled conversation with the ship's owner, Hansen, and tried different Coast Guard numbers but couldn't be sure he was talking to a real person or leaving a voicemail.
Apparently, Hansen had understood and contacted the Coast Guard.
Walbridge managed to email a Bounty executive and the Coast Guard. He learned the Coast Guard would be sending out a C-130 plane to look for the Bounty and possibly drop pumps.
Down below, water penetrated sections of hull normally above the waterline.
Generators and engines were repaired but failed again. Ship engineer Christopher Barksdale was battling seasickness.
The seas had grown to 25 to 30 feet. The wind was blowing 50 mph.
Around 10 p.m., Walbridge decided the crew needed to put on survival suits. The ship had taken on too much water. The engines and generators were underwater. The boat had no power.
Walbridge estimated the ship could make it until 8 a.m. for a daylight Coast Guard rescue. Overnight, conditions worsened.
Sometime after 4 a.m., Svendsen told Walbridge he thought they should abandon ship. Walbridge said no twice in the span of about two minutes, Svendsen estimated, before a wave rolled the ship, sending the crew into the water.
Svensden radioed the circling Coast Guard plane to say they were abandoning ship.
He climbed out a mast, which was horizontal in the water, and jumped. He got snagged on debris and was pulled under the water several times before getting away from the ship.
He turned and saw Walbridge walking aft on the deck wearing a survival suit and life jacket. He never saw him again.
A Coast Guard helicopter and rescue swimmer reached Svensden just before daylight. He had multiple injuries: trauma to his head, neck, chest and abdomen; broken bones in his right hand, a twisted right knee, hypothermia and an inflated esophagus and stomach from seawater ingestion.
The Coast Guard rescued 14 of the Bounty's crew members. Christian was found unresponsive and later died. Walbridge was never found.
The hearing on the Bounty's sinking continues today.

The Second Judicial District Children's Court hosted a group of international travelers with a specific interest in juvenile justice this month. The group observed delinquency hearings in Judge William Parnall's courtroom, and met with all three of the Children's Court judges to learn more about how the New Mexico juvenile justice system compares with systems in their respective countries.
The U.S. State Department sponsored the group's trip to New Mexico as part of its International Visitor Leadership Program. The program builds mutual understanding between the U.S. and other nations through short-term visits to the U.S. for current and emerging foreign leaders, according to the State Department's website.
The New Mexico visitors were:
The group was impressed with their exposure to New Mexico's juvenile justice system, with each of them saying they were working to have some aspects of our system introduced in their own countries.
Syed Azmi Alhabshi, the Malaysian child protection officer, noted that a good part of the court hearing centered on trying to find appropriate places for juveniles to get mental health treatment. "There are not a lot of places for children to get treatment in Malaysia," he said.
Shalini Sankar, the attorney from Trinidad and Tobago, said the organizations she works with are pushing the government to clean up what she described a "horrible conditions" in that country's juvenile detention facilities.
Peter Michael Sewakiryanga from Uganda pointed out the "real collaboration between the judge, the defense attorney and the prosecutor" in seeking workable solutions for the juveniles appearing in court. He said that dynamic is starting to take hold in Uganda, and gave the example of how it helped an 8-year-old from being held criminally liable after adults ordered him to kill a one-year-old as part of a witchcraft initiation. "Our court system is based on punishment," he said. "We are trying to change that."
Judge Parnall said he was happy to have the group in his courtroom, and he welcomed their questions about the proceedings. However, he said, it was more enjoyable taking them lunch at Garcia's Kitchen, a restaurant near the courthouse that serves New Mexican cuisine.
"I told them that we have our judges' meeting at Garcia's and they seem surprised that judges would expose themselves to the community in that fashion," Parnall said. "I said, we live in this community. It is important for people to see judges as more than strangers who sit behind a bench making decisions that affect their lives."
One worked as a copy editor and taught English in Northern Italy. The other earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry while also playing in the marching band.
These are the judicial externs from the University of New Mexico School of Law who worked at the Second Judicial District Court this summer. Despite traveling different routes to the study of law, the two agree that their experience at the Court confirmed that they are now on the right career path.
"Judicial externships provide students the opportunity to directly work and interact with judges and court staff. In so doing, students gain unique insight into the legal system from this side of the bench. The students engage in supervised research and writing and spend months observing numerous proceedings in every division, including jury trials. We work to facilitate sound development of their legal skills, and to assist students in understanding the many facets of trial, and appellate, practice here at Second Judicial," said Judge Erin O'Connell.
"This externship has advanced my legal education and given me more confidence to enter the legal profession moving forward," said Kori Nau, the former biochemistry major and marching band member at Texas Tech University. Nau worked closely with Elizabeth Garcia, the Court's general counsel, and its primary champion of the externship program.
The SJDC Judicial Externship Program has externs complete a rotation throughout all of the divisions of the court—the Civil, Children's, Criminal, and Family divisions—as well as its specialty courts and diversion programs. Garcia serves as an extern supervisor and gives them assignments, like legal research memorandums, that they are likely to see in their early days as attorneys. That certainly was true for Nau, who did research on the New Mexico Structured Settlement Act for Presiding Civil Division Judge Beatrice Brickhouse, while also observing court hearings and trials.
Jena Ritchey, the other summer extern, earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from Middlebury College in Vermont, before returning home to New Mexico and a copyediting job with the University of New Mexico Publishing Press. After a stint teaching English in Northern Italy, she enrolled in law school.
Ritchey spent her externship in Judge O'Connell's Chambers, where she handled projects ranging from researching the new standard for review of landlord-tenant cases to drafting an appellate decision for a Workers' Compensation appeal. Ritchey also observed hearings in all of the Court's divisions. The prevalence of self-represented litigants in civil cases had a dramatic impact on Ritchey. "It gave me a sense of the pressing legal issues and great need facing New Mexicans," Ritchey said.
As they head into their second year of law school, Nau and Ritchey will be colleagues again on the New Mexico Law Review. Ritchey also will work as a legal writing tutor while spending whatever free time she can find performing improvisational theater. Nau will serve as a Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project fellow and as Vice President for Programs and Membership of the Women's Law Caucus.
These two Albuquerque natives appear destined for promising legal careers. They also are certain to retain fond memories of their time at the Second Judicial District Court. "Being part of the Second Judicial District Court for just a few months was a learning experience that I will appreciate throughout my legal career," Nau said.
"I am so glad I spent my summer at the Second Judicial District Court," Ritchey added. "I would highly recommend that all UNM law students seek out an externship here."
Five judges from Mongolia visited New Mexico in late June, stopping in at the Second Judicial District Court along the way.
Global Ties ABQ, a non-profit organization that works to foster ongoing relationships between Albuquerque residents and international visitors, coordinated the tour, which the judges saw as a great educational experience.
Judge Victor Lopez hosted the group's visit to the Second Judicial District Court. The visit included a tour of the courthouse, observing a pretrial detention hearing, and meeting with four district court judges to discuss the differences between the U.S. and Mongolian court systems.
An interpreter, far right, facilitates conversation among judges from Mongolia and the Second Judicial District Court. The Mongolian Judges questions centered on the jury selection process, the administration of drug court and whether electing judges hampers judicial independence. Mongolian judges receive lifetime appointments.
The visit included a tour of the courthouse, observing a pretrial detention hearing, and meeting with four district court judges to discuss the differences between the U.S. and Mongolian court systems.
Mongolia, which descended from the Mongol Empire founded by Genghis Kahn in 1206, was a Communist State from the 1920s until the fall of the Soviet Union in the 1990. The country adopted a democratic constitution, which included an independent judiciary, in 1992. The president appoints all of the country's judges to lifetime terms.
Three of the Mongolian judges on the New Mexico visit sit on First Instance Civil Courts, which are equivalent to New Mexico's District Courts. One judge sits on an Inter-Soum First Instance Civil Court, which is akin to New Mexico's Municipal or Metropolitan Courts. The fifth judge is the Chief Judge of a Provincial Criminal Court of Appeals. That court is similar to the New Mexico Court of Appeals, though it only considers criminal cases.
In their meeting with the District Court Judges, the Mongolian Judges questions centered on the jury selection process, the administration of drug court and whether electing judges hampers judicial independence. The interest in drug court stems from an increasing problem with drug addiction in Mongolia and a desire to find solutions other than simply throwing people in jail.
"I was struck with the Mongolian judges' incisive questioning on the jury selection process and how drug court personnel monitor and assure defendants' sobriety," Judge Lopez said. "They also showed great interest in understanding how New Mexico's partisan elected judges may nevertheless maintain judicial independence."
Judge Joshua Allison, who sits on the district court's civil bench, told the group that judges in this system know that their decisions could leave them vulnerable in elections, but they have to ignore that possibility and adhere to the rule of law when deciding cases. In essence, he said, the Judicial Code of Conduct overrides political considerations.
Munkdhavaa Magnalbayar, the Mongolian Criminal Court of Appeals Judge, asked about a detailed exchange between the judge and the defense attorney during the pretrial detention hearing. "It seemed evident that the judge was going to detain the defendant," Magnalbayar said. "Why did she have to have such a long discussion with the attorney?" Charles Brown, presiding judge of the district court's Criminal Division, explained that judges in the U.S. court system are required to explain their decisions, and having that conversation with an attorney in open court adds to that transparency.

The State Bar of New Mexico has selected Second Judicial District Court Chief Judge Stan Whitaker to receive the Justice Pamela B. Minzer Professionalism Award for 2019.
This award was renamed in honor of Justice Minzer in 2007 for her commitment to the concepts of civility and professionalism in the legal profession. The award recognizes attorneys and judges who exemplify the epitome of professionalism over long and distinguished legal careers.
In a letter informing Judge Whitaker of his selection for the award, State Bar of New Mexico Executive Director Richard Spinello wrote, "The recipients of this award are selected with special care for their service, dedication and commitment to the legal profession and the community. Your professional, ethical and personal conduct throughout your impressive legal career and on the bench make you most deserving of this special award."
Judge Whitaker has indeed had a long and distinguished legal career, starting with his 1989 graduation from the University of New Mexico School of Law. After working as a civil litigator with two different Albuquerque law firms, Judge Whitaker joined the Family Crimes Unit of the Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office, where he prosecuted child abuse cases.
Judge Whitaker first came to the Second Judicial District Court as a Special Master in the Family Court Division. While in that job, Judge Whitaker joined Judge Nash, who also was a Special Master at the time, to develop a pilot program for emergency orders of protection. The two also lobbied the Supreme Court to standardize orders of protection across the state.
Judge Whitaker left the court to serve as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of New Mexico. He returned to District Court in 2006, accepting an appointment as a Family Court Judge. A year later, he moved to the Criminal Division. In 2018, Judge Whitaker's peers elected him Chief Judge of District Court. He succeeded Judge Nash as Chief Judge on January 1, 2019. In addition to overseeing the court's administrative and fiscal operations, Judge Whitaker continues to preside over a docket of criminal cases.
"No one embodies the principles that underlie the Justice Pamela Minzer Professionalism Award more than Chief Judge Whitaker" said Court Executive Officer James Noel. "He conducts court with calm focus and determination, and is respectful of litigants and attorneys, regardless of the case before him. He maintains the same demeanor with court staff in his role as Chief Judge. He truly exemplifies the qualities represented by this prestigious award."
"I am both honored and humbled to be selected for this award," Judge Whitaker said. "I am aware of the example Justice Minzer set in terms of treating everyone involved in the legal system—attorneys, judges and member of the public—with the utmost respect even when dealing with contentious issues. It means a lot to me that the members of the State Bar think I have at least come close to living up to that standard."
Judge Whitaker will receive the Justice Pamela Minzer Professionalism Award at the State Bar's Annual Meeting in August of 2019.
Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) started June 3 as a pilot program in courts in the Sixth and Ninth Judicial Districts. It begins June 10 in the Second Judicial District Court in Albuquerque and on June 17 in the Metropolitan Court in Bernalillo County. The service will be expanded statewide later.
"New Mexico courts are committed to advancing judicial excellence through initiatives such as Online Dispute Resolution," Supreme Court Chief Justice Judith Nakamura said in announcing the online service. "The innovative online service for settling cases costs less and is much faster than going to trial in a dispute over unpaid debts. With programs like ODR, our courts are able to expand public access to justice services, reduce the time to resolve some civil cases and improve court efficiencies."
With ODR, the parties in a debt or money due lawsuit can negotiate at their convenience through online exchanges from home, a business or any location with internet access using a computer, smartphone or mobile device. The online system asks questions of each party about what they want to potentially resolve the lawsuit.
Offers are exchanged and if an agreement is reached, the online system automatically prepares a settlement document and electronically files it with the court. Both parties may agree to request the help of a trained mediator during the first two weeks of negotiation. If no agreement is reached after 30 days, the online negotiation ends and the case moves forward in court.
"Growing numbers of New Mexicans are representing themselves in civil lawsuits. Online Dispute Resolution helps self-represented parties by making it easier to navigate a legal system that the public often finds complicated and confusing," said Second Judicial District Judge Jane C. Levy, who led a judicial team on the ODR implementation.
The ODR system also responds to the public's increasing desire to conduct business online.
"People increasingly want to take care of their business online. Our courts understand that," said Sixth Judicial District Court Chief Judge Jennifer DeLaney. "Online Dispute Resolution offers a way for people living in rural areas to avoid traveling long distances to court hearings if they have filed a lawsuit over owed money or they are sued because of a debt."
Ninth Judicial District Court Judge Donna Mowrer said, "This is a cost-effective way for businesses and individuals to negotiate settlement agreements for disputes over debt and money due. It can take months, or sometimes years, for a civil lawsuit to proceed to trial."
Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court Chief Judge Sandra Engel said, "Electronic commerce companies like eBay and PayPal have long used online dispute resolution for disputes between buyers and sellers. To better serve the public, courts are embracing the same technology for certain civil lawsuits."
About 31,000 debt and money due lawsuits were filed statewide in the past year, from April 2017 through April 2018. To learn more about the new online service, including watching a video featuring the Chief Justice, visit the ODR website of New Mexico Courts. https://adr.nmcourts.gov/odr.aspx.
State Bar Names District Court's Judicial Supervision and Diversion Program "Outstanding Program" for 2019
The State Bar of New Mexico has named the Second Judicial District Court's Judicial Supervision and Diversion Program (JSDP) its "Outstanding Legal Program" for 2019.
This annual award recognizes outstanding or extraordinary law-related programs that serve the legal profession and the public. The State Bar selected the Second District Court's JSDP for this award based on its use of nationally recognized, evidence-based methods for establishing public safety risk and appropriate supervision and oversight for defendants awaiting trial.
Staff members of the Second Judicial District Court's Judicial Supervision and Diversion Program. The State Bar of New Mexico recognized the group's work to improve the criminal justice system with Program of Year Award for 2019.
These evidence-based approaches have fostered a new culture with JSDP that is helping to both improve public safety and increase fairness within the criminal justice system. These approaches include the adoption of scientifically validated tools that help determine the proper level of supervision for individuals placed under JSDP's authority, as well as referring individuals to treatment courts and diversion programs when appropriate.
JSDP supports four treatment courts that help identify root causes of behavior that brings individuals into the criminal justice system, and then teaches them skills for coping with those issues so they can live productive, crime-free lives going forward. One of those treatment courts, the Felony Repeat Offender DWI Court has proven especially effective at addressing New Mexico's unique struggles with felony DWI offenders. Since its 2013 inception, this court has graduated 35 individuals with a zero-percent recidivism rate.
The other treatment courts JSDP supports are:
"The JSDP is very deserving of the Outstanding Program of the Year Award," said Second Judicial District Chief Judge Stan Whitaker. "The dedicated individuals in that program are having a major positive impact on our community by employing methods that are improving the criminal justice system and boosting public safety. We also owe a major debt of gratitude to the Bernalillo County Commission for funding much of JSDP's operations. That commitment helps make Bernalillo County a better and safer community."
"The Bar Association has recognized the outstanding commitment and hard work that Second Judicial District Court judges and staff put into establishing innovative JSD programs that are proven to make our communities safer," said Bernalillo County Commission Chair Maggie Hart Stebbins. "JSD programs support the county's efforts to prevent new criminal activity by diverting high-need individuals who typically cycle in and out of the criminal justice system but who can break that cycle when given the right treatment and support."
JSDP will receive its Outstanding Program of Year award at State Bar of New Mexico's annual meeting on August 2, 2019
One of the most recognizable faces at the Bernalillo County Juvenile Justice Center belongs to Cassie, a 6-year-old Labrador retriever.
Cassie interacts with families, especially those with children, who need her friendship. When a girl is called to testify about traumatic abuse or neglect, Cassie might sit at her feet to provide solace. Or Cassie might stay with a sobbing boy who has just been separated from his parents after being placed into protective custody.
"Cassie provides great comfort in the courtroom and gets smiles from everyone she meets when she is in the building," Children's Court Judge Marie Ward said. "She is a silent companion who has a way of removing the edge from very difficult situations."
Cassie has been a presence at the Juvenile Justice Center since late 2013. She is a specially-trained Courthouse CASA dog, a name that is derived from the acronym for Court Appointed Special Advocates.
Cassie was purchased using a grant by New Mexico Kids Matter, the CASA program in Albuquerque. CASA believes that every child who has been abused, neglected or is in foster care deserves to have a dedicated volunteer advocate speaking up for them in court.
"We are very fortunate to have Cassie, both as a resource and as a friend," Judge Ward said. "She brings a lift to everyone she meets and she is especially valuable to the children who need her most."
Cassie was trained by Assistance Dogs of the West, a Santa Fe-based accredited service dog organization that also provides service dogs for the Veterans Court program. Courthouse dogs have been used around the country since 2003.

"A View from Gold Mountain" is the name of the sculpture to be installed on the west side of the Second Judicial District Courthouse to recognize the Asian American community's historical relationship with the justice system.
The Asian American Monument Committee unanimously chose this work by the artistic team of Cheryll Leo-Gwin and Stewart Wong after a final round of judging this past January. The Bernalillo County Commission, which is overseeing funding for the project, gave its approval for the county manager to execute a contract with the artists in late March.
The monument committee had put out a nationwide call for a piece of art to reflect the Asian American community's experiences interacting with the legal system, starting with the landmark case of the Territory of New Mexico v. Yee Shun. That 1882 case was the first in which testimony from an Asian American was considered valid in a United States court of law.
The ruling was somewhat bittersweet for members of the Asian community. On one hand, the ruling by New Mexico Supreme Court acknowledged that Asian Americans could take and abide by an oath to tell the truth when testifying in court—even if they adhered to a non-Christian religion. Previously, U.S. courts had only recognized oaths taken by practicing Christians as valid for giving legal testimony.
On the other hand, the testimony given by an Asian American was the most important piece of evidence leading to the murder conviction of Yee Shun, who many historians now believe was innocent. Yee Shun was sentenced to life in prison for a murder that took place in Las Vegas, New Mexico on February 24, 1882. Shortly after hearing the appeal of his conviction had been denied, Yee Shun committed suicide in his cell in Leavenworth, Kansas, where he had been transported to serve his sentence.
The monument committee asked artists to consider this historical context when creating the work they would propose installing outside the district courthouse. The winning team said they considered this history in not only creating their work, but in naming it as well.
Seeking the Pot of Gold
"During the Gold Rush, people in China called America the Gold Mountain. They came to America to seek their fortunes and find the pot of gold to send or take home," the artists wrote in the proposal accompanying a model of their work. "Immigrants from other regions also came to that Gold Mountain for similar reasons. Instead, like Yee Shun and the Chinese, because of their skin color, culture or other differences, they found hardship, starvation, death and disillusionment. The pot of gold was more often than not only an elusive dream."
Since its selection for installation outside the courthouse, Leo-Gwin and Wong's sculpture has garnered much positive attention, including recognition in a national online magazine dedicated to the arts.
Despite these hardships, immigrants from Asia and elsewhere persisted and built lives for themselves and their families. Over time, the judiciary and other branches of government came together to offer these citizens a measure of justice and equality.

Bike Gloves: How Make Every Ride Safer?: Dirt Bike Riding Gloves
Most casual bicycle riders do not wear bike gloves, but they can perform very important services for you if you ride a greater distance than down the block once or twice a week. Not only do they make a ride more comfortable, but they also improve safety into very important ways.
Bike gloves come in either fingerless or fingered styles. They are usually made of stretchy, breathable fabric and can be tightened near the wrist for a smooth fit. There are winter bike gloves with extra insulation so you are comfortable in any weather conditions. Most are waterproof as well.
The two most important reasons to wear bike gloves are grip and padding. First of all, it is easier to grip the handlebars of a bike with rubberized or nubbly bike gloves than it is to grip them with sweat-slick hands. This can increase your ability to steer around obstacles and maneuver through traffic.
The padding in many pairs of bike gloves help protect your hands, wrists, arms, shoulders, neck and back from constant jostling and jarring you get when you ride over any uneven terrain. Even if you are sticking to the city streets, there is still stress being put on your hands as you lean over the handlebars. The padding in gloves is usually sick or on types that are intended to be worn mountain biking. These are created to help protect your hands if you fall off the bike and onto rough terrain, sticks or sharp rocks.

Keeping up with the world of online genealogy sometimes pays off with gems of common sense such as this by Genealogy and technology blogger James Tanner:
What I am saying is that genealogy, as it is today, is a technologically sophisticated pursuit that requires some pretty technological tools. If you are going to survive in the genealogy world today, you need a set of computer skills and part of that set of skills is the ability to keep your tools (computers and software) up-to-date.
Writing on his blog, Genealogy's Star, Tanner was talking in general about when to upgrade and buy new computer hardware, but his observation on the skills and tools has certainly become more and more true. You can read his entire blog article at this link: http://genealogysstar.blogspot.com/2012/05/anticipating-market-when-do-i-buy-new.html.
Indeed, as he suggests, we have to be prudent in spending on this hobby (avocation, addiction?), but it costs little or nothing to bring our computer skills up to date.

2011 has been a roller-coaster of difficulties, but I'm looking forward to 2012 and that it will bring good luck and love and gentle seas.
I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday season so far and that Christmas, Chanukah, and New Years will be an extra-special time. However you celebrate. let it be joyous!
I'm so very grateful to all my online pals. It seems that blood isn't always thicker than water, and I'd like to thank my online family for being there.
2011 has been a good year for meeting new friends and continuing to enjoy the ones I had...and for that, the year has been kind.
Pals asked if I would put up a holiday wishlist this year and I was hesitant because everyone has already been so kind to me and mine, but here it is.
Unfortunately, the "Universal Wishlist" button from Amazon wasn't so universal that it worked on Petsmart...so I have simply linked Petsmart.
So, drop by and say "HI!", leave a comment, spread the love.
Meows and Peace,
