Scenic or exciting, we have over 60miles of river to teach on in the Jackson Hole valley. We teach primarily on the Snake and Hoback rivers. The Snake is deep and forgiving and offers some of the most scenic stretches and best instructional whitewater in the world. The Hoback has a narrower channel with more technical challenges. Other rivers you may paddle include the Green, Greys, Teton and Lower Bitch Creek. With an annual average snowfall of over 400", Jackson Hole has the longest paddling season in the Rockies.

Hubble Gallery of Ultra-Bright Galaxies
Hubble Captures Gallery of Ultra-Bright Galaxies
These six images, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, reveal a jumble of misshapen-looking galaxies punctuated by exotic patterns such as arcs, streaks, and smeared rings. These unusual features are the stretched shapes of the universe's brightest infrared galaxies that are boosted by natural cosmic magnifying lenses. Some of the oddball shapes in the images also may have been produced by spectacular collisions between distant, massive galaxies in a sort of cosmic demolition derby.
This so-called gravitational lensing occurs when the intense gravity of a massive galaxy or cluster of galaxies magnifies the light of fainter, more distant background sources. The "lenses" are foreground massive galaxies whose gravity magnifies and distorts images of the distant bright infrared galaxies behind them.
The faraway galaxies are as much as 10,000 times more luminous than our Milky Way. The lensing phenomenon allows for features as small as about 100 light-years or less across to be seen in the background galaxies.
The galaxies existed between 8 billion and 11.5 billion years ago, when the universe was making stars more vigorously than it is today. The galaxies are ablaze with runaway star formation, pumping out more than 10,000 new stars a year. The star-birth frenzy creates lots of dust, which enshrouds the galaxies, making them too faint to detect in visible light. But they glow fiercely in infrared light, shining with the brilliance of 10 trillion to 100 trillion suns.
The infrared galaxies in these images are part of a Hubble survey of 22 distant ultra-luminous infrared galaxies that were found by ground- and space-based observatories. The images were taken in infrared light by Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3. Color has been added to highlight details in the galaxies.

Hear how Dick became interested in natural history.More about Childhood
An illustrated book about countryside walks made Dick curious to find for himself the common butterflies that dotted the pages. Upon finding these species, he would bring them into the Museum's Identification and Advisory Service for classification.
He later joined the Museum's Entomology Department, and has conducted fieldwork all over the world, including western Africa, where he collected over one million specimens. Though he retired from the Museum in 2004, Dick ever since enjoyed returning to the Museum. Enthralled by the orderliness of nature, Dick has marvelled over the diversity of species exhibited in the Museum's galleries and their ability to translate complex information into something tangible and appealing to a wide audience.
You may still bring in specimens to be identified, to the Museum's Angela Marmont Centre.

Is there a big blank wall in your home that is intimidating you? Maybe the thought of large work of art or photo seems like a good idea, because you know the space needs something larger, but you are afraid to pick just one? Maybe, you have you been admiring those lovely collages of photos, but can't seem to figure out a way to put them on your wall? I understand your dilemma. I recently wanted to fill a blank wall of my own. I had wanted to make it personal, but flexible. I also didn't want the task of lining up all the pictures just so, creating a bunch of holes in my wall. So instead I decided to have a collage of interchangeable photos, so I decided to put the frames up on shelves.

Valley Medical Center celebrates employee excellence and commitment
Dear Colleagues:
Service awards recognize and celebrate the excellence and commitment of individuals and teams. All of our UW Medicine entities recognize our faculty, staff, students and trainees in various ways. Harborview Medical Center, for example, has an annual employee awards reception. UW Medical Center holds an annual employee awards dinner.
Recently, I had the opportunity to attend the annual Valley Medical Center Service Award Luncheon. At this inspiring event, I observed firsthand why Valley Medical Center (VMC), the newest member of UW Medicine, continues to receive local and national recognition as a "best place to work." The February 29 luncheon, attended by more than 300 Valley employees, celebrated VMC community members in several categories: The 2011 Employee of the Year, 24 Employees of the Month from the past year (two individuals are chosen each month), and 407 individuals recognized for milestone (5 years, 10 years, etc.) years of service. This wonderful annual event has been held for more than 25 years.
A few of the individuals who received service awards were featured in a video shown at the celebration. Their remarks reflect the deep commitment and affection of VMC staff toward their medical center. For those employees recognized for 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of VMC service, each individual's manager brought him or her to the front of the room and described for the audience what makes the celebrant unique and vital. The 24 Employees of the Month for 2011 were recognized by VMC CEO Rich Roodman as their names and portraits were shown on an overhead screen.
Rich then described the exceptional qualities of the 2011 VMC Employee of the Year, Viet Lam, clinical pharmacist. A VMC employee for four years, Mr. Lam was recognized for his daily dedication to Valley Values. Comments from colleagues included: "He's one of a kind—hardworking, dedicated—I wish we could replicate him!"; "He is always there! The doctor puts an order in and he's at your side with the medication. We don't know how he does that!" Read more about Lam and other honored VMC employees.
We are very fortunate to have Valley Medical Center and its outstanding workforce as part of UW Medicine. My thanks go to each individual at Valley for your superb work, dedication and compassion for patients and community. My thanks go as well to the nearly 26,000 employees, students and trainees who make UW Medicine an outstanding institution.
Paul G. Ramsey, M.D.

Concussion symptoms in children may linger weeks after injuryEmergency room physicians need to be more vigilant in recognizing and monitoring children who have even mild sports-related concussions, according to Frederick Rivara, UW professor of pediatrics and editor-in-chief of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. Rivara wrote an editorial in the March 5 issue of the journal.
The editorial, Concussion: Time to Start Paying Attention, accompanies a study, Reliable Change in Postconcussive Symptoms and Its Functional Consequences Among Children With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury. The lead author is Keith Yeates, director of the Center for Biobehavioral Health at the Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. The study found that while most children who hit their heads showed no serious symptoms in the weeks following injury, a small group suffered increasing cognitive and physical symptoms, such as forgetfulness and fatigue, weeks after their accident.
"The study by Yeates and colleagues in this issue of the Archives describes the persistence of concussive symptoms in children and young adolescents 3 and even 12 months after injury," Rivara wrote. "Children with loss of consciousness at the time of injury and abnormalities on neuroimaging were more likely to have persistent symptoms and to need educational interventions than were concussed children without those findings."
Annually, about a half-million children under the age of 15 in the United States are hospitalized with either a concussion or mild traumatic brain injury. The Yeates' study found that most of the injuries were sports related, and 20 percent were from car accidents, falls or other types of trauma.
"The overall message emerging from this research is that the group of injuries classified as 'mild TBI,' including sports-related concussions, should not necessarily be treated as minor injuries, which quickly resolve," Rivara wrote, adding that concussion research conducted by the military has found that concussion symptoms often cannot be detected in normal brain scans. "The absence of abnormalities on computed tomographic or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans does not mean that there are no abnormalities in the brain."
Rivara calls for increased leadership from researchers and their funders to develop better methods to assess concussive injuries in youth and the timeline of recovery from these injuries.

Researchers write exposure risks guidelines and reduction tips for environmental toxins
Now, a team of researchers, led by Sheela Sathyanarayana, UW assistant professor of pediatrics and a member of Seattle Children's Research Institute, has created a guide outlining exposure risks and offering reduction tips for some of the most common environmental toxins. The clinical opinion, Environmental exposures: how to counsel preconception and prenatal patients in the clinical setting, was published online in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology.
"Reproductive health providers have an important role to play in counseling women on environmental health risks," said Sathyanarayana. "Providers can be knowledgeable about these issues and empower patients to make positive decisions to reduce exposure and to prevent adverse health impacts to both mother and fetus."
The guidelines include evidence-based recommendations on how to talk with patients about environmental toxins like lead, mercury, and pesticides and endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA), which is used in a variety of products including canned food linings and cash register receipts. The guidelines also include resources for each toxin category and, outlines an easy and consistent way to deliver these important messages to women and their partners. The guidelines contain helpful information for patients, too.
"Women and their partners should be aware that pregnancy is an important time for development, that environmental chemicals can cause harm to a developing fetus, and that this topic is important to discuss with health care providers," said Sathyanarayana. "There are simple ways to reduce exposures to lead, mercury, pesticides and endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as BPA by following the guidelines we have outlined."

U.S. News & World Report ranks UW School of Medicine No. 1 primary care medical school in the nation
The UW has ranked first among primary-care medical schools in the United States for the 19th consecutive year. The program is among many UW professional and graduate programs in the top tier of the 2013 annual rankings released March 14 by U.S. News & World Report. The rankings were published March 13 in the magazine's 2013 Best Graduate Schools Rankings issue.
UW School of Medicine faculty also ranked second in the nation (after Harvard), and first among public medical schools, in the U.S. News calculations of National Institutes of Health federal research grants.
U.S. News reports the UW School of Medicine received $611.4 million in National Institutes of Health funding in fiscal year 2011. Academic specialties ranked in the top 10 for the quality of teaching medical students were: family medicine (first for 21st year in a row), rural medicine (first for 21st year in a row), AIDS (fourth), geriatrics (tied at seventh), pediatrics (seventh) and internal medicine (eighth).

Student health professionals learn importance of error disclosure
More than 450 students from the UW medical, nursing and pharmacy schools crowded into Hogness Auditorium on Tuesday, March 6, to hear Thomas Gallagher, UW associate professor of medicine and of medical history and ethics, talk about how to disclose errors to patients as an interprofessional team.
Gallagher (photo, right), a nationally recognized expert on error disclosure, explained the importance of conducting disclosures openly and honestly, helping patients and their families to understand the impact of errors, and discussing how similar errors will be prevented from happening in the future. Gallagher is principal investigator of Communication to Prevent and Respond to Medical Injuries: Washington State Collaborative, HealthPact Communication Training, the HealthPact Disclosure and Resolution Program and the HealthPact Forum. The patient safety and medical liability project, funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, is part of a statewide effort to transform communication and transparency in healthcare.
"Ultimately, we want our health professionals to have communication skills to prevent and respond to medical injuries. It's about patient safety," Gallagher said. "This lecture introduces students to those skills and sends a message about the importance of interprofessional collaboration."
Originally developed by a group of interprofessional faculty funded by grants from the Josiah Macy Jr. and Hearst Foundations, the All Health Professions Error Disclosure Day brings together students from across the health sciences schools to practice disclosing errors as healthcare teams to patients and their families. When co-principal investigators Brenda Zierler (photo, left), UW professor of nursing, and Brian Ross, UW professor of anesthesiology, received the grants in 2008, there were few opportunities for interactive, interprofessional learning for health sciences students. Zierler, Ross, Sarah Shannon, UW associate professor of nursing, and Karen McDonough, UW associate professor of medicine, collaborated with others to develop interactive training for health sciences students by using error disclosure as a topic for learning team communication skills.
"Learning to disclose errors as a team is a terrific way to learn how to work together effectively," said Shannon. "Errors raise the ante for the healthcare team, bringing up reactions of guilt and blame, grief and anger among the team and between the team and the patient and family. Learning skills to approach error disclosure effectively can carry over to other team communication. We make errors as a team; we need to disclosure errors as a team."
This year, Zierler and colleagues received a second Macy Foundation grant to support faculty training in interprofessional education and practice. Thirty-five faculty from across the United States recently spent four days at the UW and the Institute for Simulation and Interprofessional Studies at Harborview learning how to facilitate interprofessional education and practice at their home institutions.
"There is a national focus on training students to work together collaboratively to improve communication, but the training needs to start with faculty first," said Zierler. "Faculty can model teamwork behaviors for students and they can create the opportunities to train health professional students together by focusing on communication, teamwork, collaborative care, values and ethics, and role clarity."

Spokane is site for graduate medical education summit and WWAMI celebration
The WSU-Spokane Riverpoint campus is the site for the upcoming second graduate medical education (GME) summit, sponsored by the WWAMI program and to be held on Friday, March 23. This meeting, first convened in 2010 at WSU-Spokane on the Riverpoint campus, brings together medical educators from throughout the Northwest and other parts of the nation to discuss how to build and finance more and better GME programs for the WWAMI region. As WWAMI medical education grows, the five WWAMI states need more GME training sites. Where trainees complete their GME training is the best predictor of where they will choose to practice.
Speakers at the one-day summit will include Paul Ramsey, chief executive officer of UW Medicine and dean of the UW School of Medicine; Paul Rockey, director of graduate medical education for the American Medical Association; Russell Robertson, dean and vice president of medical affairs, Rosalind Franklin University, Chicago Medical School; and others. Register for the GME Summit online.
On Thursday evening, March 22, a reception will be held at the Davenport Hotel to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the WWAMI program. The 40th anniversary is being celebrated at WWAMI sites throughout the five states during the current academic year.
The WWAMI regional medical education program was first established in 1971 as a partnership between the UW School of Medicine and the University of Alaska Fairbanks (later at Anchorage). Montana and Idaho joined the program in 1972 and Wyoming in 1996. The Alaska program marked its 40th year in September, and Boise and Cheyenne in February. Upcoming anniversary events include: Spokane, March 22; Moscow/Pullman, April 20; Billings, May 10; Missoula, May 18; and Seattle, June 3. For more information, please contact Kellie Engle at 543-2249 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Pink Desert – Daytime Series
December 6, 2011
Pink Desert – Daytime Series
From the venerable and aesthetically perfect House of Sun label comes this brilliant, symphonic slice of sonic beauty via PA soundscaper Pink Desert. On Daytime Series, shimmering drone emerges from the dust like the rising sun and proceeds to scorch everything in its path with blinding modular tones. Things rise and fall and transform melodically, but overall Daytime Series floats at one specific frequency, one which manages to evaporate all earthly worries throughout its nuclear, radioactive glow. This one is not for the casual spacehead, but rather, it is a supremely powerful listening experience and a totally joyful aural adventure.

Part 1
Analyzing how the message was constructed
- What kind of medium is it? (Photography, but with a digital or film camera?)
- What are the various elements that make up the whole (what exactly is depicted)?
- How similar or different is it to other depictions of the same subject (in other photographs)?
- Which technologies were used in its creation?
- How would it be different in a different medium?
- What choices were made that might have been made differently?
- What are the various jobs of the people who created this message?
Part 2
Analyzing the creative language of the message.

- Where is the camera? What is the viewpoint?
- How is the story told? What are people doing?
- Are there any visual symbols or metaphors?
- What's the emotional appeal? Persuasive devices?

Part 3
Understanding how different viewers bring different experiences
- Have you ever experienced anything like this?
- How close does it come to what you have experienced in real life?
- What did you learn from this example of media? What did you learn about yourself from experiencing the medium and its message?
- What did you learn from other people's responses – and their experience?
- How many other interpretations could there be? How could we hear about them?

For the second time this spring, the Germantown Friends and Shipley School lacrosse teams had the scoreboard straining to keep up with the pace of their scoring.
In the first meeting, back in the last week of April, the Shipley Gators pulled out a 14-13 regular season victory. Last Tuesday the GFS Tigers, the visiting team once again, stepped out to an 11-6 halftime lead in a Friends Schools League playoff semifinal, and went on to win, 17-12.
Germantown's Annie Morrissey scored five goals in the first half and assisted one in the second, while fellow junior Iris Williamson notched three of her four goals after the intermission, earning her two assists during the first period.
Out of their three goalie options the Tigers went with senior Alex Gilliam, who turned aside a total of 15 Shipley shots.
"Alex played great and really kept her head in the game," noted Tigers head coach Katie Bergstrom. "Isabella Didio [a junior] had the game of her life; she had ground ball after ground ball. Once our offense settled in we had six different scorers. That made a difference, spreading it around."
Didio finished with a hat trick and senior Lyles Swift-Farley logged two goals and an assist, while the Tigers also had junior Hannah Drake and sophomore Anna Bezahler add two goals and one goal, respectively.
Shipley was led by juniors Avery Safford (five goals) and Teddy Chase (three goals, two assists), and freshman goalie Madison Bailey earned six saves in the contest.
The game actually began in an auspicious manner for the Gators, as sophomore Sophie Katz (three goals, one assist) scored twice and assisted on another goal to power the hosts to a 3-0 lead in just two-and-a-half minutes. GFS made a change at center, moving in Didio to take the draws, and the Tigers were able to slow down Shipley's transition game. Senior Sierra Carter-Gordon spearheaded the effort to contain Katz the rest of the way.
With Katz sent off the field with a yellow card less than a minute after she scored the Gators' third goal, the Germantown offense got moving with a marker by Morrissey. Free position shots by Didio and Swift-Farley tied the score and then Drake gave the visitors their first lead, 4-3.
Morrissey seized the ball off the subsequent draw and rippled the net just nine seconds later, but the Gators bounced back to a 5-5 tie.
After another exchange of goals for a 6-6 count with just under 10 minutes left in the half, Williamson assisted a GFS strike by Didio to start a 5-0 GFS run to finish out the half. After goals by Morrissey and Williamson, senior Lilly Tyson hit a post on the Shipley cage, then Drake found the net off of a free position.
At the other end, Gilliam stopped a shot by Kelley Hardon (one goal) that might have given the Gators a little momentum going into the break. Instead, Morrissey netted her fifth goal with eight seconds left to make it 11-6.
Solid work on the defensive end by the likes of junior Alex Clarke, sophomore Sophie Mercuris, and freshman Caroline Myran had helped prevent Shipley from responding during the Tiger's offensive surge.
"We play a sagging defense," Bergstrom pointed out. "We're not necessarily going for the check. We're going for the block, going for the double team. We eventually got focused, worked hard, and marked their cutters."
Over the first seven minutes of the second half Shipley was able to shave one point off of its deficit, making it 13-9 with 18:07 remaining in the game. Over the next 11 minutes, GFS quashed the uprising, going up 17-9 with markers by Didio, Williamson, Bezahler, and Swift-Farley. The Gators found the Tigers' cage three times in the final four minutes, but were still behind by five at the final horn.
"This was a total team effort," Bergstrom stated. "The senior leadership was fantastic and the younger kids played well. It's great to have a game where everybody is playing well at the same time."

CBD Pet Treats In Omaha
Be sure to have a pocket full of dog treats when teaching your dog how to sit, stay, heel, or perform other similar commands. Make sure that the dog will find the CBD Dog treats in Omaha appetizing. Dried out, crummy, and bland CBD Pet treats will not make your dog want to train or whet his appetite and enthusiasm the same way a juicy piece of meat and sweet smelling cheese will.
Dog treats have become popular grocery items found in shelves of specialty stores, pet stores, discount, and food stores. From expensive treats claiming prime beef cuts to discounted bulk products, cbd dog treats have so many varieties, similar to human treats.
CBD Pet treats in Omaha can be hard and chewy since they are supposed to clean the dog's teeth. Some dog treats are meant to aid in digestion and improve the internal health of the dog. Veterinarians have come up with varied dog treats incorporated with various medicines for heartworm prevention, antibiotics, and pain killers.
Some dog owners make their own special dog treats.

Tips for Giving your Pet a Chewy Dog Treat
Chewy dog treats are a great way to keep your pet busy when you are unavailable to play. They also work as a wonderful distraction that keeps your canine preoccupied even when visitors arrive or other activity is going on in your home. Listed here are a few helpful tips for selecting a treat and safely offering it to your pet.
Chewing on the Right Size
Depending on your pet's size, you may prefer a thinner or shorter chewy dog treat. Avoid giving a large dog a very small treat. These can pose a choking problem if your pet can swallow them whole. While most dogs will still try to chew the treat, it is always best to err on the side of safety. A very small dog could be given a lighter chew treat to avoid muscle strain when lifting. Also keep in mind dogs that have gum or teeth problems, especially senior canines, may have a difficult time with a very hard chew bone or other similar treat. If this is the case, look for softer rawhides such as pig ears.
Safety Tips for Chewy Dog Treats
Never hand your dog a chewy treat and leave him or her unattended. Although these are designed for canines, they can become hazards. A well-chewed treat can become small and be swallowed whole while a broken piece or splinter may wind up cutting your pet's gums. While you do not have to constantly watch your dog chew the treat, it is important to check in frequently. Consider having your pet chew the treat in the same room as you are in. Always remove tiny or sharp pieces and throw them away.
Where to Chew
Some dogs have no problem with others being nearby when they are enjoying dog treats. However, it is in their nature to defend their food. If someone unfamiliar or another dog were to approach your pet while chewing, he or she may growl or even nip. If you have other dogs or visitors, consider placing your pet inside a kennel or other safe confinement. This provides a barrier between your pet and others. Plus, your pet will feel more relaxed knowing he or she is chewing in the safety of a den-like environment.
Good Behavior
Your pet should view you as the alpha. That means you should be able to take the dog treat away, even if he or she is not finished chewing it. The best way to reinforce this is to begin at a very young age. Pet your dog while he or she chews, even gently tugging on ears, tail and paws. Never tug hard, this is only to simulate being touched or handled while chewing. Finally, remove the treat from your pet. He or she should never growl, nip or snarl. If your pet allows you to take

Some people would hesitate to quote St. Augustine to Pope Benedict XVI. Not President George W. Bush.
Granted, he limited his citation to the words "Pax tecum" ("Peace be with you") so it wasn't exactly an academic exhibition.
Throughout his welcoming talk yesterday, it struck some of us that the president was sounding a lot like the pope. He spoke of a "dictatorship of relativism" and the common moral law written into every human heart, and said the measure of a free society is "how we treat the weakest and most vulnerable among us" — all key themes of this pope.
The president seemed sincere in his admiration for the concepts he was borrowing. That was evident in the way he leaped to his feet after the pope's own talk and told the pontiff, in less exalted language: "Thank you, your Holiness, Awesome speech. We're gonna sit down for one more song."
The scene reminded me of Bush's visit to the Vatican last year. When he arrived, he recognized one of the welcoming Vatican functionaries, slapped him on the back and said, "Hey, I know this big guy." Somehow even in the stuffy Vatican, the president's air of familiarity went over just fine.
On the South Lawn of the White House, there seemed no doubt that the pope and president were on the same wavelength. Complete with fife and drum corps, the event was a set piece of patriotic Americana, and the pope seemed to be blessing Bush's vision of an essentially religious and moral America.
Of course, when it comes to details and particular policies, the pope and the Vatican are sometimes at odds with the United States. But this was not the moment for highlighting differences. One reason, as explained to me by a high Vatican official before the trip, is that the Bush term is almost over. The Vatican, he said, doesn't see much point in engaging in a far-ranging discussion with this administration because "there won't really be any follow-up or implementation."
Maybe that's why the private meeting between pope and president lasted less than 20 minutes. This was a day for public impressions, not private policy discussions.

Marin County prosecutors declined to file charges Thursday against a San Diego rapper accused of holding a woman captive in San Anselmo, adding to the mystery surrounding his arrest.
Charles Mitchell — also known by the stage name "Mitchy Slick" — was released from the Marin County Jail shortly before 7:30 p.m. He came out alone through the public entrance while covering his face with his shirt, and declined to talk to reporters before being whisked away by supporters in a Chevy SUV.
Prosecutors had two court days after Mitchell's arrest to charge him or release him. Mitchell surrendered to the jail Tuesday afternoon on a warrant alleging human trafficking, kidnapping, criminal threats, exhibiting a firearm and participating in a criminal street gang.
District Attorney Ed Berberian declined to comment on why prosecutors decided not to file charges, even though a judge had reviewed the case and found sufficient cause to sign a $1.5 million arrest warrant. Berberian said the investigation is ongoing and charges could still be filed.
Sheriff's Lt. Doug Pittman said sheriff's detectives "have been working in concert with the district attorney's office since the onset of the investigation."
"We will continue to work with the district attorney's office from this point forward," Pittman said.
Neither Berberian nor Pittman would comment on whether the alleged victim has recanted.
The Marin County Sheriff's Office continued to release few details about the allegations or Mitchell's accuser. The department alleges that Mitchell, 40, kidnapped the woman in Southern California and held her captive at 30 Oak Knoll Drive in the unincorporated Sleepy Hollow area.
The allegations led investigators to search the residence on Aug. 22 and try to arrest Mitchell on the warrant, but he was not there at the time.
Authorities have not clarified when and where the woman was allegedly kidnapped, how long she was held, how authorities became aware of her alleged captivity, whether she and Mitchell were involved in a relationship and whether Mitchell was renting the Sleepy Hollow residence, among other questions. Pittman declined to answer additional questions about the case Thursday.
Pittman said investigators are still trying to determine whether Mitchell was renting the Sleepy Hollow home. It is owned by Michelle Renowitzky and Carl Renowitzky, according to the county assessor's office. Neither could be reached for comment Thursday.
It was unclear whether Mitchell is being investigated on similar allegations in his native San Diego. A spokesman for the district attorney said the office is not currently reviewing any police cases against Mitchell.
Mitchell is an alleged member of the "Lincoln Park Bloods," a gang under a permanent injunction by the San Diego City Attorney's Office restricting their activities in the Lincoln Park area.
Mitchell is also a well-known rap musician whose records include "Killafornia Handgunner 1," "Urban Survival Syndrome," "Trigeration Station" and "Feet Match the Paint." He is the head of his own label, Wrongkind Records.
According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, Mitchell was nominated in two categories for the 2014 San Diego Music Awards — best hip-hop artist and best hip-hop album. The winners will be announced Oct. 6.

Location: Systematic Entomology LaboratoryTitle: New flat mite genera (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tenuipalpidae) associated with Australian sedges (Cyperaceae) Author
|Beard, J. - University Of Maryland
|Ochoa, Ronald - Ron
Submitted to: Systematic & Applied Acarology Special Publications
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 5/6/2011
Publication Date: 6/30/2011
Citation: Beard, J.J., Ochoa, R. 2011. New flat mite genera (Acari: Trombidiformes: Tenuipalpidae) associated with Australian sedges (Cyperaceae). Systematic & Applied Acarology Special Publications. (2941):1-37.
Interpretive Summary: Flat mites are pests on crops, ornamental plants, and forest and fruit trees and around 920 species have been described. They are very small and several have been associated with the spread of plant viruses. Body shape and color help them hide, making field recognition and control difficult. This paper describes and illustrates two new groups and four new species from Australia and provides tools to separate them from closely related mites. This study contributes information for identification of flat mites that will be useful for biologists, entomologists, zoologists and students involved in studies of nature and classification.
Technical Abstract: Two new genera, Gahniacarus and Cyperacarus, and four new species, G. gersonus, G. tuberculatus, C. naomae and C. foliatus, are described from native Australian sedge species in the genus Gahnia (Cyperaceae). Leg chaetotaxy is provided for all stages of each species. The importance of taxonomic characters offered by immature stages and ontogenetic changes in leg chaetotaxy are discussed. A key to the Tenuipalpidae associated with Cyperaceae in Australia is provided. Key words: Acaricis, Afronychus, Dolichotetranychus, Gahnia, leg chaetotaxy, Lisaepalpus, ontogeny, Prolixus, Tenuilichus, Tenuipalpus, Tetranychoidea.

I'm BACK... with some great news too.
I dug out this old cover because i've been fortunate enough to have the Cartoon Art Museum do a retrospective of the last 50 years of my work! Here's a blurb for it on their web site. It'll be in the San Francisco, from Feb 13th thru June 16th. About a third of it will be creator owned originals like (Maxx, Bimbo, Ojo), one third work for hire, Marvel and DC (wolvie and joker art).. and one third my newer Paintings and Trout related antiques.
Most of art you've probably seen before online... or in comics... but if you happen to be in the area it's a kinda cool chance to see them in person. I'll probably pop in for some opening night thingy too. There's also a Museum/ book IDW's printing, sorta a catalogue or what's in the show and an interview with me.
Getting something like this for a dweeb like me means you probably have some sort of cult following... or it means your getting old... or since it's a museum, means your probably kicked the bucket.
Since i'm not currently dead, i assume it's the other two.
All sarcasm aside, I have someone very special I wanna thank though: ..... YOU. All of my fans over these many years. No fans means no moldy dusty pile of art work to even get noticed! No art work to get seen, then no one to enjoy it ( or flea in terror of disgust, the *other* reaction my art inspires) - so no one to see/enjoy it, no museums will know who the heck you are to begin with.
I'd also like to than Scott Dunbier & Albert Moy for getting the ball rolling, Andrew Fargao at Museum for being so down to earth, patient and welcoming.
I also wanna thank the Head Gardener for putting up with my moody bastard ways for all these years.. and seeing things in me i'm apparently too blind to see myself.
Okay - enough of that crap. One last 'sam's finally throwing himself out there in public' opportunity is, if you happen to be near the Sacramento area....
i'll be doing a signing at Dave Downy's comic shop: Worlds Best Comics... on Saturday, January 12th, from 2pm to 4pm. This is something i've been promising Dave i'd for *ever*... so we may as well get it out of our systems once and for all, eh?
The last sacramento signing i did was... well... way back when the first issue of Maxx was released, so it's been a while. Don't worry if you don't happen to love in Sac or the SF area... i'll be in San Diego next year too and we can meet up there.
You know, if you didn't know my work... and you looked at this wolvie cover i did above, then looked at that little girl below?
You'd probably think they were drawn by totally different people, eh?
Weird thing is, it's kinda true. I am different, for better or worse. Time manages to have it's way with everyone, eventually. I don't even think it's bad or good, but it's easier than beating yourself up over it, right?
Okay, it's been a long three weeks between posts, and i'm sorry for that. Several balls in the air at once, finishing the last of Hollows, the Museum art book, the Worlds art book for next July...
so i'll see about getting some new stuff online again soon.
- Sam

Sunday Morning and the birds are lovely
Sunday Morning and the birds are lovely
Sunday Morning and the birds are...
[Verse 1: Noname Gypsy]
All my raps whisper unintelligence
Unrelenting irrelevance chiseled in the sediment
Letterman on the late night scene
You don't know the half Mr. Bubble Bath
Jaded in the grass
What's that?
A massacre
A mass appeal to apple stores and
Raffle scores
I wonder who gon' win the lottery
If Google maps can see my house
Yo, I wonder who is watchin' me
Satellite hypocrisy like, right up the block from me
Write up the doctor fees
Another brown boy down
Another mother crying cause another brown boy found
And all you wanna do is smoke weed
And write songs
Bang bang
Sound like violins
Poverty was made to door frame all the violence
Knock knock and guess who's not there
The police
And guess who don't care
The people
Sunday sunday morning
And the birds are lovely
Sunday sunday morning
And the birds are lovely
Sunday sunday morning
And my mama love me
And my granny love me
And Moni love me
[Verse 2: Noname Gypsy]
Close your third eye and look what you real eyes
And look what you realize
Your water is privatized
You liquor is idolized
The government mastermind
Now that's the Illuminati
And that's after your
Universal mind control
Let me see you robot
Racism construct
Let me see you robot
They would've ended war
If war didn't make um rich
I ain't tryna help you smoke if you
Ain't tryna help me quit
Downtown dichotomy
I bet you i could politic
I could even paint Jackson
Where the pollack sits
Baby rap mo
Concrete satchmo
I'm a photo
Shake me up
Like me glitter
Like me thinner
Gingerbread snapped
No Oprah or oxygen
Or darker skin
I'm the training ground for a rainbow
It's like pop pop
Skittle bag
Ask me where the riddle at
And i'll serve you Ritalin
Double-coated in cinnamon
No harmonies just synonyms
Sunday hymns
Praise the lord
And the drugs that raised me
Baptized in saline
They found my parachute under the rubble
I found redemption under the tunnel
Don't get trapped
Sunday Sunday morning
And the birds are lovely
The hook has a hypnotic vibe and conjures a specific, peaceful image. I feel it has dual meaning – first, it serves as a reminder to always come back to/embrace the here and now of each moment while surrounded by/discouraged by chaos and messed up situations of everyday life; secondly, though, I feel like it serves as a caution – the abrupt ending with the hook cutting the end of the song right off (specifically after the line "don't get trapped") is like saying, folks getting too caught up in our own here and now/inner sanctum, that's what perpetuates these messed up societal situations.

"Justice was carried out against convicted murderer Robert Moorman today, approximately 18 years after he brutally murdered and dismembered his adoptive mother, following a sentence of 9 years to life for kidnapping an eight year old girl." Attorney General Tom Horne said.
"We have been working hard to help reform a system in which delays between verdict and execution are so long. Families need to see justice done in a timely manner. The eighteen year delay is average for the Ninth Circuit, which includes Arizona, and we are working hard to reduce that delay," Horne added.
Horne also stated: "There has never been any doubt as to Moorman's guilt for this heinous crime. While Moorman was offered a 72 hour compassionate leave to visit his adoptive mother, he bound, gagged, strangled and stabbed her to death. He then dismembered her body and attempted to dispose of the parts by passing them off as animal remains or simply putting them into trash containers. There is no rational reason for justice to have been delayed 18 years."

Ratings for Dr. Vivian Terkel
Dr. Terkel's retirement has left a hole in San Diego's internal medicine field. As my doctor for more than 20 years, she was perfect, never once failed me; never ordered a test just to cover herself; referred when appropriate. Despite several conditions of mine that perplexed or irritated other doctors, she never shied away and diagnosed so quickly and accurately, I was astonished. She, herself, answered all of my phone calls, gave her home phone number to many of us -- something that shocked other doctors who knew this. Always tactful, never bossy, she just worked with us and for us, especially fighting with insurance companies on our behalf for treatment or prescriptions that had to be preauthorized. Dr. Terkel was different. There were no layers between her and her patients, neither nurses nor bureaucrats. She gave the test results, called us when necessary on a medical matter. She was smart -- and tops.
She was incomparable. It's been quite difficult since she retired.
Absolutely great doc. Called me with results. Spent more time than anyone else I've been too.
Been with her for 10 years. Knows me. Listens, suggests, phones me up with results of test. Incredible doctor.
I've been seeing Dr. Terkel for over 10 years. She listens, explains well and really follows through.
She listens well. The best physician I have ever had and a great diagnostian. This has saved me from tons of tests and money for second opinions.

The Art Department Opens With Habitat• September 5, 2013 Share:
The Wabash College Art Department will present Monday, September 9 an exhibition called Habitat. Opening reception is from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Eric Dean Gallery in the Fine Arts Center at Wabash College. Artist, Stacey Holloway will be at the opening and will speak at 7:15 p.m.
The Habitat group exhibition highlights the artwork of sculptor Stacey Holloway and painters Tammie Brazee and Laura Carpenter Truitt. The exhibiting artists "invite the viewer to consider the spaces in which we live and how we live in them at this moment in history from multiple vantage points."
Stacey Holloway's artwork arises from her experience living and working in the Midwest, a place she claims as her home, including native geography and wildlife.
Tammie Brazee's paintings visually explore the awkward and detached relationship that many Americans have with the natural world as manifested in the way we vacation in National Parks and other naturally beautiful places.
Laura Carpenter Truitt's paintings reference the interaction of architecture and landscape wherein physical space merges with abstract forms.
The exhibit continues through October 12. The exhibit is free and open to the public and handicap accessible. The hours for the Eric Dean Gallery are 9-5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10-2 p.m. Saturday.

Obesity rates in children 2 to 5 years old have decreased significantly over the past decade, according to a new study published Tuesday.
While there were no significant changes in obesity rates for most ages between 2003-2004 and 2011-2012, researchers saw a 43% decline in this group's rates -- from 13.9% to 8.4%, according to the study published in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association.
A big part of a child's obesity risk is already established by age 5, according to a study published in January.
The study findings were announced the same day as first lady Michelle Obama proposed new rules to limit the types of foods and beverages that can be advertised in schools and marked the fourth anniversary of her Let's Move! initiative to combat child obesity.
Under the suggested federal regulations, companies would no longer be permitted to use logos of high-calorie products such as regular sodas on cups, vending machines or posters.
The move is part of the first lady's ongoing efforts to combat childhood obesity in America.
According to the new JAMA study, close to 17% of children aged 2 to 19 were obese in 2011-2012. That number has remained fairly constant since 2003-2004, dropping just 0.2%.
More than a third of adults over 20 were obese that same year, a number that held steady over the study's time period. The prevalence is often higher in women and in Hispanic and non-Hispanic black populations.
Four years ago this month, Obama announced that she was taking on childhood obesity with a new initiative called Let's Move! The comprehensive program was part parental education, part government reform -- with a bit of celebrity encouragement thrown in.
"About one-third of our children are overweight or obese. None of us want that for our country," Obama said at the time. "It's time to get moving."Let's Move! had several objectives under its broader ambition of "solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation." Obama wanted to increase physical activity and improve nutrition in schools, overhaul nutrition labels to make healthy choices easier for families, decrease the number of calories in restaurant meals and eliminate food deserts -- areas without access to fresh, healthy foods -- in cities across America.
First Lady: Childhood obesity is about fitness, not looks
In December 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act into law, which was designed to encourage better eating habits in schools by giving the federal government more authority to set standard for food sold on school grounds. The $4.5 billion act provided more money to subsidize free meals and help administrators offset the higher costs of including more fruits and vegetables in school lunches.
Then in June 2011, the USDA dismantled the traditional food pyramid and replaced it with a new icon called MyPlate. The plate emphasizes fruits and vegetables, telling Americans to fill half of every plate they eat with produce. Another quarter of the plate should be lean protein; the last quarter should be whole grains. A small portion of dairy -- perhaps a glass of low-fat milk -- can be added on the side.
The first lady also tackled nutrition and physical education in childcare facilities around the country. Let's Move! offers guidelines for childcare providers: one to two hours of physical activity a day; limited screen time; more fruits and vegetables at meals served family-style when possible; no fried foods and no sugary drinks.
"Food manufacturers have pledged to cut 1.5 trillion calories from the products they sell. Local grocers and national chains such as Walgreens and SuperValu are building new supermarkets and expanding existing stores to sell fresh food in 1,500 underserved communities," Obama wrote in an op-ed for CNN in 2012.
"Restaurants are transforming their kids' menus, packing them with healthier options. Mayors are planting gardens and refurbishing parks. Congregations are sponsoring summer nutrition programs for kids and exercise ministries for families."
Even Disney and the Department of Defense are jumping on board.
In January 2012, the USDA issued its new rules for school meals, which are being phased in over a three-year period. Cafeterias must offer fruits and vegetables at every meal, reduce sodium and some types of fat and keep to calorie minimums and maximums. The government agency followed up six months later with new rules for snack foods. The regulations set limits for fat, salt and sugar sold in school vending machines and snack bars.
The USDA has faced opposition over the new rules -- from student athletes who say they're not getting enough calories to administrators who say kids just aren't buying the healthier options.
Which raises the question: With all these new guidelines and regulations, are kids really getting any healthier?
It's a difficult question to answer, as the most comprehensive data collections about obesity are still a few years behind. But there have been signs of progress.
Steven Hanus, a elementary physical education teacher in the Chicago suburbs, says he's noticed a change in his students -- and their parents -- over the past five years.
Overall, the kids are in better shape, he says. Parents are asking Hanus more questions as well, about how to keep their kids moving at home. And he's received strong support from administrators in his quest to find new ways to interest students in fitness. Recently, his first-graders were given pedometers for the first time.

"From our top level down, the initiative to keep kids moving and active has definitely been a big part of the district," Hanus says. "It's made us all a little more aware of how active we are."
Another study published in August 2013 that analyzed data from preschool children in low-income families showed a small but significant decline in the group's obesity rates between 2008 and 2011.
"It's a bright spot for our nation's young kids, but the fight is very far from over," CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said at the time.
Obama agrees.
"While childhood obesity rates are beginning to fall, we still have a long way to go before we solve this problem once and for all," the first lady said Tuesday. "We can't slow down and we can't turn back now."
Let's Move! recommends children engage in physical activity for a total of 60 minutes every day, and adults should move for 30 minutes daily.

The weekend of November 10th was known as Innovation Weekend at Fishbowl Solutions. Fishbowl's development, sales and marketing teams participated in a "ShipIT Hackathon" event to develop new Oracle WebCenter Content-based products. If you aren't familiar with hackathons, just imagine a very intense software programming session where the end goal is to develop usable software within a set period of time – here is Wikipedia's definition, and you may remember that Fishbowl participated in a similar hackathon at Oracle OpenWorld. Anyway, Fishbowl's WebCenter UI and UX design extraordinaire, John Sim, was visiting from London and he was the catalyst for Fishbowl's internal hackathon. Here were the rules that he helped establish:
- The new software/functionality should either support one of Fishbowl's current products or provide new ways to interact, utilize, or provide an integration with Oracle WebCenter Content.
- The finished product should be deployable to Fishbowl's internal WebCenter Content system and be usable by Fishbowl employees.
- Teams will have only 24 hours to complete their product.
- The winning team would be decided by votes from all participants, but participants could not vote for their own team.
At 3:00 PM on Friday, November 9th the hacking commenced. Fueled by Red Bull, pizza, coffee and sugar, four teams of Fishbowl employees developed the following WebCenter-based programs by 3:00 PM on Saturday, November 10th where they were presented and voted on. Here they are in order of finish:
- 1st Place – WebCenter Content Multi-Checkin
- Enables users to drag and drop content items directly into Oracle WebCenter Content from desktops or file shares and be tagged with keywords.
- Checked in content bypasses the check in metadata screen and instead is grouped within a user's "workspace". Users can return to their workspace at a later time to add metadata.
- Integrates with Fishbowl's Duplicate File Checker to ensure that duplicate content items do no enter the system.
(The winning hackers – left to right: Paul Heupel, John Sim, Tom Jaede)
- 2nd Place – Filtered Search Results and Grid View Metadata Updater
- Update metadata on multiple items at once using a simple grid format.
- Content Server query defines items to display in grid view with configurable sorting and result count.
- Easily configure columns to view and update both standard and custom metadata values.
- Uses Excel-like functionality within the browser such as copy, paste, drag, and fill-down.
- 3rd Place – Duplicate File Checker Desktop Application
- Lightweight desktop application can detect and remove duplicate content items from user desktops or network file shares.
- Users simply browse to a folder or item and select the content they want to check against already existing in Oracle WebCenter Content. Any duplicate items are returned to the user in a grid view, and the user can select any duplicates for deletion.
- 4th Place – WebCenter Content and Google Drive (Docs) Synchronization & Contribution
- Provides ability to import content stored in Google Drive to Oracle Webcenter Content.
- Google Drive files can be batch imported and their metadata can be mapped or the files can be published directly to WebCenter Content.
- Includes ability to also link to Google Drive document directly from WebCenter Content.
Aside from some mild cases of indigestion, carpal tunnel, and weariness; the participants in Fishbowl's ShipIT hackathon all agreed that it was a great event to be a part of. It was really exciting to see what could be developed in a limited amount of time when a group of people worked together and were driven by a deadline. The best part was ending up with four new WebCenter-based products that solve real-world problems and add immediate value. If any of these products interest you, feel free to contact us at 952-465-3400 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Reports of Refugee Pushbacks in Greece, Bulgaria Make EU Mull Action
Two major human-rights groups issued reports lambasting Greece and Bulgaria Tuesday, making the serious accusation that border authorities in the two countries push refugees back over their respective borders with Turkey –an illegal practice.
Human Rights Watch published a report on the treatment of refugees and migrants in Bulgaria, while Amnesty International put out a report on Greece.
The European Commission, the European Union executive arm, said in an email that it was concerned by the findings and was in contact with Bulgarian and Greek authorities about the issue. The commission can start legal proceedings against the countries if it feels there is evidence to show they are in breach of EU legislation.

Michelle Bridges Respond To Rumours She's Been 'Dumped'
Their gorgeous bub Axel is only seven-months-old, but already the rumours are starting to circle around the relationship between Michelle Bridges and Steve 'Commando' Willis.
However, when asked about the headline yesterday, Bridges responded in the best way she knew how, according to the Daily Mail.
She posted a sweet photo of the family on her Instagram account, with Commando pulling a strange face as he posed with his partner and their bub.
'Ummmm..... whatever....,' the 45-year-old wrote alongside the family photo, followed by an eggplant emoji, which is often used to represent male appendages.
A side note read: 'Best emoji to describe my thoughts'. The caption was followed with the cheeky monkey emoji.
The reports, printed in Monday's edition of Woman's Day, suggested both Michelle and her partner's run with the hit reality program may be coming to an end.
Just as the news hit, Commando happened to appear on the Today Show but appeared to dodge the question when prompted by host Lisa Wilkinson.
'I'm not sure what's going on with all of that,' the 40-year-old said as he seemed slightly thrown by the topic.
He added: 'That comes down to a year-by-year thing and if there's a phone call to do it, we'll do it.'
Steve and Michelle are reportedly being replaced by producers who are on the hunt for new talent.
It is believed fellow trainers Tiffiny Hall and Shannan Ponton are also set to be ditched by Channel Ten.
Michelle and Steve's romance began when they met on the show, with both of the trainers leaving their respective partners to pursue a relationship together.
Steve has three other children from previous relationships, Brianna, 17, Ella, six, and son Jack, four.
