“We’re a land-based people.”

Communal land grant communities have a rich history in New Mexico. Some of these small, often remote, communities have existed for hundreds of years.

But members of communal land grant communities face significant challenges, including disparities in economic opportunity, health care and education.

These are exactly the type of challenges that President Obama has steadfastly committed to tackling. LM García y Griego, an advocate for New Mexico’s land grant communities, puts it this way:

“In New Mexico we have witnessed a steady economic recovery since 2009, a recovery especially important in those small towns and communities where Spanish and Indian peoples have lived for generations--for centuries before New Mexico became a state."

“In these communities people have a strong attachment to the land where their ancestors worked, hunted--a land that still provides their livelihood today.”

“These communities are located next to national forests and other federal lands, and the people there look toward a new partnership with the federal government to create jobs, provide access to ancestral lands, and to protect the environment.”

Arturo Archuleta, another Albuquerque-based advocate for New Mexico’s communal land grant communities, knows the importance of collaboration in addressing these challenges.

Both of Arturo’s parents came from land grant communities. His father was from Tierra Amarilla. And his mother was from Manzano.

To improve their economic opportunities, Arturo’s parents moved to Albuquerque. But Arturo grew up visiting Northern New Mexico and recognized early on the importance of fighting for communal land grant communities:

“I always grew up knowing this was an issue. In middle school, I decided to do something to help my community.”

Arturo knows that the President is committed to working with the communities Arturo is fighting for:

“We’re a land-based people. [Barack Obama]’s administration has been more proactive in interacting with communities.”

In just one example of this collaboration, federal funding is being used to pay the residents of Chilili to implement a forest thinning project which will help keep the neighboring forest healthy and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires.

It’s a project that means jobs and a healthier environment. And that’s good for everyone.

President Obama will keep fighting for all of New Mexico’s communities. You can help ensure he can keep fighting in a second term by getting out the vote for Barack Obama. Sign up to volunteer now at

Fall 2013 Symposium

"A New Economic Backdrop for Houston in 2014"

For a decade, oil and emerging markets have powered the Houston economy, and the lack of stimulus from the struggling U.S. economy was barely missed. But now, the picture is changing. Emerging markets are slowing, bringing much discussion of the end of a decade-long commodity cycle. And the U.S. economy is finally showing signs of putting the Great Recession behind it, with a revival in housing, reduced consumer debt loads, and healthy revenues for state and local government. By 2014, historic rates of growth may again return to the U.S. economy, finally putting an end to the Great Recession and its aftermath. Revival of U.S. growth will bring with it the end of monetary stimulus. Long-rates will rise first as the Federal Reserve pulls back on quantitative easing, followed later by increased short-term rates. While energy remains central to Houston’s economic outlook, and the prospects for continued job growth remain solid, the broader economic backdrop that supports energy prices -- and Houston’s economy -- is rapidly changing.

Carousel Horse (paper-mache) with porcelain Doll (Chantelle)

Item Number
Estimated Value
Opening Bid

Item Description

Chantelle is a rather famous doll mold made by Clowns by Kaye.  She is quite large for a porcelain doll, but has all the value that is given to hand painted porcelain.  I made her to sit on the horse that was done by Marilyn Hageman Borglum, my daughter.  The horse is of paper-mache so is not impossibly heavy, but rather fun.

Special Instructions

Doll:3.5' tall, Horse: 3.5' long, Carousel Horse Pole 7' tall

Delaware Park Ties Bonuses to Field Size

Even with daily average purses of $260,000, Delaware Park has often found it difficult this year to fill races, or often had races that filled but were decimated by scratches.

Chief operating officer Bill Fasy came up with a solution: an $8.4-million "full field festival" whereby owners would receive a $1,000 bonus July 7-31 if they entered a horse in a race that filled with eight or more uncoupled starters.

Racing at Delaware Park is bolstered by revenue from slot machines.

"Entries have been phenomenal," Delaware racing secretary Dan Eidson said. "The only drawback has been that we've had to refuse entries from some horses who obviously were not placed in their proper condition. That was a little tough telling the owners that their horses couldn't run, but we didn't want to jam up our cards with horses who had no chance. We also wanted to protect the betting public."

Eidson said the concept was well-received by owners and, though he couldn't speculate whether Delaware Park would try it again next year, he said it did attract some Maryland-based horses when Colonial Downs in Virginia opened.

"I told the horsemen, 'I live and die by this decision,' " Fasy said. "I said we have to do something for our racing, because it's in the dumps, and we need to liven this meet up. I believe the (festival) has been successful, and while I don't have the final figures, there's been more than a one-horse increase per race. With all the competition we have in the Mid-Atlantic region, that's great news."

Philadelphia Park general manager Jim Gagliano said his track, which competes with Delaware Park for horses, might consider a similar promotion if "we can fit it into our current purse structure. We're open to trying it, because increasing field sizes and giving our guests good betting opportunities is important to us."

John Adams

by Meryl Henderson Jan Adkins

Dear Reader: The Childhood of Famous Americans series, seventy years old in 2002, chronicles the early years of famous American men and women in an accessible manner. Each book is faithful in spirit to the values and experiences that influenced the person¹s development. History is fleshed out with fictionalized details, and conversations have been added to make the stories come alive to today¹s reader, but every reasonable effort has been made to make the stories consistent with the events, ethics, and character of their subjects. These books reaffirm the importance of our American heritage. We hope you learn to love the heroes and heroines who helped shape this great country. And by doing so, we hope you also develop a lasting love for the nation that gave them the opportunity to make their dreams come true. It will do the same for you. Happy Reading! The Editors

Thomas Edison

by Jan Adkins

Filled with archival photographs and amazing facts, this groundbreaking series introduces young readers to some of history's most interesting and influential characters. The series now features a refreshed design, taking the series' original look in a more modern direction. Thomas Edison tells the story of the famous inventor, from his childhood as an "addled" student, to his reign as the "Wizard of Menlo Park," where he developed the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and many other inventions still in use today.

Up Close: Frank Lloyd Wright

by Jan Adkins

A genius with a troubled personal history, Frank Lloyd Wright was a true American celebrity. His love for the limelight was only surpassed by his love for architecture. Often riddled with debt, he led a lavish lifestyle that was beyond his means. A divorced man, he carried on relationships with women that often became fodder for tabloid covers. But despite it all, Frank Lloyd Wright had an undeniable talent that has created many of the great buildings in this country and throughout the world. Discover the man behind the genius in this well-researched biography about the man who created a unique American style of architecture.

What If You Met a Pirate?

by Jan Adkins

What If You Met a Pirate? YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT PIRATES. They were big guys with fancy hats, silk jackets, peg legs, and parrots cursing on their shoulders. They sailed big ships with brass guns and made lubbers walk the plank ... right? Wrong. Real pirates didn't look or act much like the pirates in books and movies. They were basically sailors, usually dirty, always smelly, who signed on to small pirate crews for the plunder--but they were unfailingly polite to ladies. And yes, they did own the occasional parrot. Real pirates are much more fascinating than storybook and movie pirates. In this book, award-winning author and artist Jan Adkins reveals the facts behind the fiction in his own swashbuckling style. Pirates may have been sea bandits, but they swore an oath not to play cards or squabble with other pirates. Were they rowdy cutthroats? Maybe, but they elected their own captains and often fired them. They may have carried pistols, muskets, blunderbusses, axes, grapnels, pikes, and swords, but they almost never fired their cannon! They preferred to sneak up on their prizes at night, using stealth and surprise to outwit their victims. What If You Met a Pirate? invites you to meet pirates from every age--real pirates. Sign on, matey, for a rollicking voyage!

Young Zorro

by Jan Adkins Diego Vega

Sandwiched between the ocean and the mountains surrounding the Pueblo de Los Angeles, wealthy Spanish caballeros live side by side with Native Americans. One boy with both Spanish and Indian blood belongs to both worlds. He is Diego de la Vega, who will one day wear the mask of Zorro. As a boy Diego is more concerned with riding horses and making mischief with his best friend, Bernardo, than about fighting injustice. But when men start disappearing from the pueblo of Los Angeles and cattle are missing from Diego's father's rancho, Diego and Bernardo encounter an injustice so wicked that they must take action. Inspired by Isabel Allende's novel Zorro, which reveals how Diego de la Vega became the legendary masked hero, Young Zorro: The Iron Brand introduces readers to a land of vaqueros and kidnappers -- an exciting world in which a young hero is formed. First introduced in 1919, the legend of Zorro, "the fox," swiftly grew into a phenomenon. A hero of Spanish California with a dual identity, Zorro has vanquished evildoers and conquered hearts in books, movies, and television series around the world. Most recently the Zorro tale has been brought to life by Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones in the 1998 major motion picture The Mask of Zorro and its 2005 sequel, The Legend of Zorro.

Why Grad Rates Matter

The faster you graduate, the less it will cost.

The life of a college student is awesome. But it's also expensive. Every year you spend at college costs money.

If saving money is important, look for a college that fits you well and provides the support you need to finish your degree on-time.

It's okay to change majors, repeat a class to improve your grade, or take some extra classes that interest you. But it's going to cost you. Ask colleges what support they offer to help you plot a course to graduating on time.

Letting Students Service Your Vehicle

Class intent
To provide the automotive student an opportunity to hone their skills in automobile repair while learning essential job skills. The vehicles serviced have real live problems with real live customers. The class runs in 8 weeks sessions.

Who is eligible to have their vehicle worked on?
The service class only works on vehicles owned by employees of the College of DuPage which includes faculty, staff, and administrators. We do not work on student worker cars. We do not work on vehicles for the general public out of respect to the local employers of our students and graduates, a board policy that prevents it, and for insurance reasons. The only student cars we work on belong to the students registered in the automotive programs that are pursuing a certificate or degree in automotive service technology.

What type of work can be completed?
The service class focuses on the mundane routine service and maintenance repairs that apprentices would be doing the first few years of their professional life. We on occasion take on a "problem child" car to give the students a challenge. The list of "routine service and maintenance" includes the following: brakes, steering and suspension repairs, alignments, tire work, oil changes, automatic transmission services, air conditioning service, electrical problems of all types, and cooling system maintenance, to name a few and give an idea.

What type of work is NOT done?
The instructor for the service class is not interested in the major jobs that only a journeyman automotive technician would be allowed to do in a "for pay" shop. The list includes: automatic transmission rebuilds, engine rebuilds, valve jobs, timing belts, and body work of any kind.

What does the service class consider a challenge?
The "Check Engine" light is one of the biggest challenges an apprentice can tackle. To really become GOOD at repairing these issues requires practice and experience. During our sessions we try to repair several of these issues.

Who is working on the vehicle?
The students registered for the class do the work of repairing the vehicle. This includes test driving the vehicle to verify the complaint, inspecting the vehicle for repairs needed to fix the complaint, repairing the vehicle, and final test drive to verify the complaint has been fixed. The instructor is there to give guidance when the students have questions and to protect the customers from unneeded repairs and costs. Every part or service has to be approved by the instructor before work begins. Every vehicle is test driven by the instructor before it is released to the customer.

When does the service class work on cars? More accurately, when is the service class offered for the students to take?
The service class is offered in the fall and spring in 8 week sessions. The fall session will run during the first 8 weeks of the semester. In the spring semester there is a 1st 8 week session and 2nd 8 week session. The customer needs to understand that during the last 3 days of the service class, students are allowed to work on their own vehicles as a small reward for their hard work during the session.

How do I get my car on the list for repairs?
If you are a first time service class customer you will need to fill out a  Vehicle Repair Request Form and submit it to Mike Foss at fossmi@cod.edu. If you are a returning customer and your personal information, such as mailing address, has not changed then you only need to fill out the Vehicle Repair Request Form. If you are a returning customer but your personal information has changed then you must fill out both forms. Mr. Foss uses email as a waiting list for customers, when there is an appointment slot available he will return an email back to you with a date for your appointment ... there will probably not be a confirmation of your original email until the one scheduling your appointment and yes, the email will be short and to the point.

What do I pay for?
Because of the hard work and miserly ways of the instructor and students, the customer currently only pays for the parts and related shop supplies needed to repair the vehicle. Now the instructor would like to give a few words about repair work when dealing with students ... TIME IS OUR WORST ENEMY! If a shop tells you it will take 3 hours for them to repair, it will take students 6. Now if the instructor has to chase a customer down to get an okay to repair the vehicle we have lost precious class time. This is why every first time customer is advised that we will spend up to $300.00 of your money without calling you! If you have a problem with this fact then take your vehicle to a "for pay" shop and have it fixed...you are paying for that service as part of the labor charge ... a written estimate, someone to guide you through the process, and take your money with a smile. Here we are TRYING to TEACH students. BTW, if the car is not worth $300.00 to you, don't bring it in to the auto lab for service because the students and instructor are not interested in working on junk.

How do I pay the bill?
Remember, the student and instructor are working on your vehicle as well as 4-8 others and trying to have them all ready for pick up at the end of our day, 4:30 p.m. Customer service is part of what we are trying to teach here. Chances are very good that your bill will not be calculated and finalized at 4:30 p.m. on the day your vehicle is serviced. Patience is one of the requirements to be a service class customer. Mr. Foss will be sending you a PDF of your repair order with some detail on the repairs performed and total due. At the same time, a copy will be sent of the same PDF to the accounts receivable division of the finance office to be turned into a College of DuPage invoice. With the invoice you can pay with cash, credit card, or check, in person at the cashier's window, in the drop box outside the cashier's office, by mail, or you can call it in. You will receive a document with the repair order that explains this further ... it is sent with every repair order PDF. REMEMBER ...YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF PARTS AND SUPPLIES TO REPAIR YOUR CAR!

When can I drop off my car?
We offer a drop off service. A lab supervisor is on duty at 7:30 a.m. ... although he is typically here at 7:00 a.m.  Your repair order will already be filled out. It is YOUR RESPONSIBLITY to be sure it is correct! This includes your name, address, home phone number, school email address, and department you work for on campus. You are required to initial each job on the repair order ... any job number without an initial will be crossed off the repair order and it WILL NOT be completed (this is new rule ... I bet you can figure out why). You must sign the repair order. I have included the disclaimer from the repair order here for you to read before you sign it and drop off your car.

"Blue Mosque Sultanahmet"
The Blue Mosque,which is one of the Istanbul's premier sights, has been constructed between the years 1609-1616 by Mehmet Aga who was one of the famous architects of the period.here is an interesting story of the mosque; according to it, Sultan Ahmet I wanted to have a minaret made of gold which is "altin" in Turkish. The architect misunderstood him as "alti" which means "six" in English. However, when the architect was shivering as "am I going to be beheaded?", the Sultan Ahmed I liked the minarets so much. Prior to that time, no sultan had a mosque with 6 minarets.The Sultanahmet Mosque is the only mosque in Turkey that has six minarets.
2)"Suleymaniye Mosque"
The Suleymaniye Mosque (Turkish: Suleymaniye Camii) is a grand 16th-century mosque in Istanbul, Turkey built by Suleiman the Magnificent.The Suleiman Mosque was built on the order of sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and constructed by the great Ottoman architect Sinan. The construction work began in 1550 and the mosque was finished in 1557.
3)"Ortakoy Mosque"
Ortakoy Mosque, officially the Buyuk Mecidiye Camii (Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdulmecid) in Istanbul, is situated at the seaside of Marmara Sea in the Ortakoy pier square,which is one of the most important attraction points of Besiktas district, one of the most popular locations on the Bosphorus.The original Ortakoy Mosque was built in the 18th century. The current mosque, which was erected in its place, was ordered by Sultan Abdulmecid and built between 1854 and 1856. Its architects were Armenian father and son Garabet Amira Balyan and Nigogayos Balyan, who designed it in Neo-Baroque style.
The wide, high windows let the ever-changing light reflections of the Bosphorus shine in the mosque.
4)"New Mosque"
The New Mosque (Yeni Cami), in Istanbul's Eminonu district on the Golden Horn at the southern end of Galata Bridge, is officially the Mosque of the Valide Sultan (Queen Mother) because it was commissioned by Safiye, mother of Sultan Mehmet III in 1597.

After her son died, Safiye was no longer Queen Mother, with a queen's powers and revenues, so her mosque sat unfinished.
Six sultans later, Turhan Hatice, Queen Mother of Sultan Mehmet IV, took up the work and finished it, which is another reason it's called the Vailde Sultan's Mosque.

1)Istanbul Modern Art Museum
Istanbul Modern Art Museum (Turkish: Istanbul Modern Sanat Muzesi), usually just called Istanbul Modern, is a museum for contemporary art on the European side of Istanbul, inaugurated on December 11, 2004.
The museum, located in a converted warehouse in Tophane in the Karakoy district on the coast of Bosphorus, is the first of its kind in Turkey. It is easily reached by the Istanbul's tram system.Istanbul Modern has exhibitions on two floors. The museum's permanent exhibition is, along with the shop and the restaurant, located on the top floor. The changing exhibitions are located on the lower floor, along with the cinema and library.

2)"Hagia Sophia"

Hagia Sophia (Greek: "Holy Wisdom", Turkish: Ayasofya) is a former patriarchal basilica, later a mosque, now a museum, in Istanbul. Famous in particular for its massive dome, it is considered the epitome of Byzantine architecture. It was the largest cathedral in the world for nearly a thousand years, until the completion of the Medieval Seville Cathedral in 1520.It is situated on the European side of Istanbul,in Sultanahmet Square.
The current building was originally constructed as a church between 532 and 537 AD on the orders of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and was in fact the third Church of the Holy Wisdom to occupy the site (the previous two had both been destroyed by riots). It was designed by two architects, Isidore of Miletus and Anthemius of Tralles. The Church contained a large collection of holy relics and featured, among other things, a 50 ft (15 m) silver iconostasis. It was the patriarchal church of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the religious focus point of the Eastern Orthodox Church for nearly 1000 years.

3)Archaeological Museum

Istanbul Archaeological Museum dependent on the General Directorate of Monuments and Museums of the Ministry of Culture is on the Osman Hamdi Bey Ascent that opens to the Topkapi Palace Museum from the right of the Gulhane Park entry which is in the Sultanahmet district.It is on the European side of Bosphorus. Istanbul Archeological Museum was established by Osman Hamdi Bey who was an archaeolog and a museum curator as the Empire Museum on June 13, 1891. Osman Hamdi Bey, with a regulations he prepared in the year 1881, has prevented the smuggling of the old opuses outside the country.
The museum is open everyday between 09.00 and 17.00 except Mondays.

4)Kariye (Chora) Museum

stanbul is long known as a city endowed with layer upon layer of cultural riches dating from ancient times. But beyond the obvious sites in the Old City, there is a jewel that's rarely seen: the Kariye Museum. It's not easy to do but it is well worth the effort. The interior walls are covered with exquisite Byzantine religious art that has no equal anywhere in the world. Despite earthquake damage in 1894, many spectacular mosaics remain, awesome in their fine detail, displaying subtle shadings and rich colors that are lacking in earlier Byzantine mosaics.

5)"Hagia Irini"

The Hagia Irini church which comes from the Byzantine period stands in the courtyard of Topkapi Palace in Sultanahmet. This church is the second biggest Byzantine church after Hagia Sophia that survived until the present day.
The church was built by the Byzantine Emperor Lustiniaus I by early IVth Century (360) AD in Istanbul.

6)"The Great Palace Mosaic Museum"

The Great Palace Mosaics have been tessellated with a unique workmanship between the years 450-550 AD. The Great Palace Mosaic Museum was first opened in the year 1953 dependant to the Istanbul Archeological Museum but then it was related to the Hagia Sophia Museum in the year 1979. It is situated inside the Arasta Bazaar in the Sultanahmet..

Media must not be left behind as Haiti rebuilds

Foreign journalists, seen here working in Port-au-Prince, have flooded into Haiti after the earthquake, but the local media is in tatters. (Reuters/Eliana Aponte) The earthquake that rocked Haiti didn't spare anyone, including the media. Like every institution in the troubled country, the media has had its share of challenges. They cannot pay decent salaries to reporters and the reporting most often doesn't go beyond the headlines. International organizations have developed training programs for Haitian journalists, but those journalists tend to leave Haiti after gaining some experiences, leaving a vicious brain drain and a permanent training cycle.

What the earthquake has done is destroy the physical infrastructure that will limit the reach of the media, particularly radio, which is the primary source for Haitians to get their news and information.

The day of the earthquake, miraculously, one radio station, Signal FM, remained on the air, after not suffering any damages to its buildings and antennas in the mountains of Boutilliers. The station did a commendable job by keeping people informed. Elected officials, business owners, and regular people used their airwaves to communicate. The station remained open around the clock and did its best to keep the population informed. It wasn't until a few days later that other stations return to the airwaves. To this day, many still remain silent, hoping to resume broadcasting soon.

Before the earthquake, there was a vibrant radio scene here—it seems as though every dial is taken on the FM band. Le Nouvelliste and Le Matin, the daily newspapers, have not resumed during the earthquake and it is unclear when the oldest daily in Haiti will be able to begin publishing again.

I'm quite concerned about the future of the media in Haiti because they are not part of the discussion of the rebuilding of the country. But the reality is that the media was affected as much as any part of civil society during the earthquake. As a struggling democracy, Haiti may not understand the role of the media, but everyone agrees that it is necessary since the catastrophic events of January 12. I believe that funding for media should be part of the equation of rebuilding. Journalists, like everyone else in this tragedy, lost their homes, family, and friends. The notion of a separation of church and state is noble, but these are not normal times and should not be applied in the case of Haiti's media.

I think the international community, which should understand the role of a free press, must not leave Haiti's media in tatters. The media should be a part of the reconstruction because of its ability to inform and mobilize people.

Right now, the government has a serious public relations problem, largely because President René Préval has not been seen in public enough. His comments have not connected with people; part of that reason is that he hasn't spoken enough. So his pronouncements are dissected in minutia. By using the media for its ability to inform the public, the government could solve its problem. But in its current shape, the media cannot continue to broadcast and print information. Resources are desperately needed and should be provided.

Garry Pierre-Pierre is the editor and publisher of the Haitian Times, a Brooklyn, New York-based weekly. He has been reporting from Haiti in the earthquake’s aftermath.

Editor’s Note: If you have any information on journalists and media outlets in Haitiplease post a comment below or notify us via e-mail [email protected], or Twitter: @HelpJournalists. We are collecting funds that will go directly to Haitian journalists. If you’d like to make a contribution, please click this link and enter “Haiti” in the “Notes” section on the second page.

Haitian Media organization CECOSIDA is seeking resources to support media partners through the
aftermath of the earthquake, both in terms of personal psychological
experiences and for developing strategies of coverage that support the
recovery effort. Media professionals are struggling with processing
their own reactions to all they've seen in the past few weeks and
determining how to discuss aspects of the event going forward.
Numerous experts have directed CECOSIDA to the leader in this field,

Two shooting incidents reported at La Nación in less than a month

New York, March 28, 2005—The Committee to Protect Journalists today called for a prompt and thorough investigation into two gunfire attacks this month against the facilities of the daily newspaper La Nación in Costa Rica's capital, San José.

Three unidentified assailants fired several shots at the newspaper building from a moving vehicle about 4 a.m. on March 23, La Nación reported. No one was injured in the attack, which caused slight damage to the building. Based on interviews with security guards and the discovery of five bullet casings, police suspect a 38-caliber handgun was used, according to La Nación.

Attacks on the Press 2001: Americas Analysis

AGAINST A BACKDROP OF TROUBLED ECONOMIES AND DEMOCRACIES, the Americas saw an increase in violent and verbal attacks against journalists during 2001.

The number of journalists murdered in the region has grown, with 11 killed for their work in 2001, compared to seven in 2000 and six in 1999. The violence is also occurring in more countries across the region. Notably, in Costa Rica--long considered one of Latin America's freest and most democratic countries--the assassination of Parmenio Medina Pérez was the first murder documented by CPJ in that country's recent history.

Attacks on the Press 2001: Costa Rica

Costa Rica, a country long regarded as one of the freest and most democratic in Latin America, was profoundly shocked by the July 7 murder of veteran journalist Parmenio Medina Pérez--the first assassination of a journalist in the country's recent history.

Unknown assailants shot Medina, producer and host of the weekly radio program "La Patada" (The Kick), three times at close range. His program had often denounced official corruption and earned the journalist numerous threats. Two months before his murder, Medina received death threats in connection with accusations he made on air about fiscal improprieties at a local Catholic radio station, and unknown attackers fired bullets at his house. Twenty minutes after Medina's murder, one of his colleagues at "The Kick" received an anonymous call saying he would be the next victim. The station that carried Medina's program, Radio Monumental, received threatening calls for months, the station's news coordinator told CPJ.

37 journalists killed for their work in 2001

New York, January 3, 2002--A total of 37 journalists were killed worldwide as a direct result of their work in 2001, a sharp increase from 2000 when 24 were killed, according to CPJ research. At least 25 were murdered, almost all with impunity.

The dramatic rise is mainly due to the war in Afghanistan, where eight journalists were killed in the line of duty covering the US-led military campaign and a ninth journalist died of wounds sustained there two years ago. This was the highest death toll recorded for a single country since 1999, when 10 journalists were killed in Sierra Leone.

37 periodistas asesinados por su trabajo en el 2001

Nueva York, 3 de enero de 2002
-- Un total de 37 periodistas fueron asesinados en todo el mundo como resultado directo de su labor en el 2001, un brusco incremento en relación con el año 2000, cuando 24 fueron asesinados, según las investigaciones del Comité para la Protección de los Periodistas (CPJ, por sus siglas en inglés). Por lo menos 25 de ellos fueron asesinados, casi todos con impunidad.

El dramático aumento se debe principalmente a la guerra en Afganistán, donde ocho periodistas murieron cumpliendo su deber al cubrir la campaña militar encabezada por los Estados Unidos, y un noveno periodista murió de heridas que recibió en ese país hace dos años. Este es el mayor saldo de víctimas que se haya registrado en un solo país desde 1999, cuando 10 periodistas fueron asesinados en Sierra Leona.

A Meshless Hierarchical Representation for Light Transport

We introduce a meshless hierarchical representation for solving light transport problems. Precomputed radiance transfer (PRT) and finite elements require a discrete representation of illumination over the scene. Non-hierarchical approaches such as per-vertex values are simple to implement, but lead to long precomputation. Hierarchical bases like wavelets lead to dramatic acceleration, but in their basic form they work well only on flat or smooth surfaces. We introduce a hierarchical function basis induced by scattered data approximation. It is decoupled from the geometric representation, allowing the hierarchical representation of illumination on complex objects. We present simple data structures and algorithms for constructing and evaluating the basis functions. Due to its hierarchical nature, our representation adapts to the complexity of the illumination, and can be queried at different scales. We demonstrate the power of the new basis in a novel precomputed direct-to-indirect light transport algorithm that greatly increases the complexity of scenes that can be handled by PRT approaches.

Transformations of 1-amino-2-(3-hydroxyalk-1-ynyl)-9,10-anthraquinones in the presence of amines

When heated in piperidine, 1-amino-2-(3-hydroxyalk-1-ynyl)-9,10-anthraquinones undergo cyclization into 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)naphtho(2,3- g )indole-6,11-diones. In contrast, 1-amino-2-(3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropynyl)-9,10-anthraquinone reacts with primary and secondary amines to give the corresponding 1-amino-2-(1-amino-2-benzoylvinyl)-9,10-anthraquinones, which undergo cyclization into 4-dialkylamino- or 4-alkylamino-2-phenylnaphtho(2,3- h )quinoline-7,12-diones. Heating of the starting phenylpropynol with Et 3 N causes its dehydrogenation and isomerization.

Mark Fidrych delivers a pitch at Tiger Stadium in 1976.

Mark Fidrych delivers a pitch at Tiger Stadium in 1976.

This is an excerpt from “Al Kaline’s Last Bat Boy” by Dennis Clotworthy, available now in bookstores and online at his website. Dennis shares this story of a night out at a rock concert with Mark Fidrych and Tom Veryzer of the Detroit Tigers in 1976. Veryzer died this past Tuesday at the age of 61. Mark “The Bird” Fidrych passed away in 2009.

On Saturday, May 8, just a few weeks prior to The Bird becoming the most famous player in all baseball (at least all baseball in 1976), I had the good fortune of hanging out with him. Paul McCartney and his newly formed band were in the middle of their “Wings Over America Tour,” and Tiger shortstop Tom Veryzer and I planned to go hear them the night after an afternoon game between the Tigers and the White Sox. We decided to meet at the Lindell AC for a burger and beer before going to Olympia Stadium to hear the famous Beatle in concert. Detroit was one of only six states where the McCartney band was going to appear for more than one night. The show we were headed for was completely sold out, just as it had been the previous night. We may not have had tickets, but I had a way to get us in. From the time I was sixteen years old, Vic Moise, my longtime friend from high school, and I had been going to Detroit Red Wings games at the Old Red Barn – Olympia Stadium. We knew an usher at one of the entrances who would let us in for “almost” free. Here is how it worked: we had to have old ticket stubs from a previous game in our hands, and we would hand them to him as we went through the doorway. He then pretended to tear the stubs in half and handed the supposedly torn tickets back to us. Usher supervisors were routinely in the area, but this was a ploy that they could not spot from a distance. Of course, for all we knew the supervisors may have been in on the deal. And it was a deal, which was to be completed between the first and second period of a hockey game. Vic and I would walk down to the concourse near the entrance where we came in and look for our usher friend. Once we saw him we would walk up to him and shake his hand in greeting, each of us with folded dollar bills in our palms. The dollars were transferred, and he pocketed them (with a fairly practiced gesture). We soon realized we were hardly the only ones involved in this little scheme. Twenty, thirty – sometimes forty or more people would be there doing the same thing. And, ours wasn’t the only helpful usher. Apparently this was going on pretty much at all the entrances of Olympia Stadium. Remember, these were the days of the “Dead Wings” of the 1970s, and the organization was lucky to have 5000 to 8000 people in stands that had a capacity of over 14,000.

So, this also would be how Veryzer and I were getting into the concert. We knew that there would be no actual seats available for us. As I said, the concert was completely sold out. But, we figured we would find a spot on the aisleway stairs and hope for the best.
As we sat in the Lindell with our burgers and beers, who walked in, but Mark “The Bird” Fidrych. He saw us and came over to our table. He was alone, but that did not surprise either Veryzer or me. It wasn’t unusual for the Bird to stop at the AC and grab a burger by himself. He took a seat and asked us what we had planned for the night. Tom said that we were going to the Paul McCartney and Wings concert at the Olympia. Fidrych got all excited and asked, “How did you guys get tickets?!!” Veryzer explained about the usher and the fake tickets, and before he could finish his thought Fidrych looked at me and asked, “Hey, any chance you could get me in too?”

I told him it probably was not going to be a problem, so off the three of us went – at least we left as soon as we’d finished our food. I drove my car with Veryzer sitting in the front seat and The Bird in the back. As we got a few blocks from Olympia, traffic began to bog down as people began looking for a place to park. Well this made it the perfect opportunity for Fidrych to “scope out” the young ladies walking down Grand River Avenue toward Olympia. Had this been a month or two later, my car would have been mobbed as the ladies would have been all over the Bird because of his rookie season success. Instead he called out to groups of girls walking by, asking them to join us – all the while making flirtatious comments about their looks. Many of them laughed and told him he was cute with those golden curly locks of hair, but none took him up on his invitation. We proceeded to park a couple blocks away. As we headed for the entrance where I knew our friendly ticket taker would be, I realized that I only had two ticket stubs – one for Veryzer one for me. I told Fidrych to cup his hand so that it appeared that he was holding a ticket and still to go through the motions of presenting the imaginary ticket to our ticket taker at the doorway. Then I told Veryzer and Fidrych to wait while I walked up to the door by myself. Quietly and quickly I explained the situation to my usher pal. We were short a ticket and there were three of us, not two. He agreed with my suggestions, so I went back to the guys and said we were going to proceed with the plan as it was laid out.

I went in first, followed by Veryzer and then Fidrych. It went off without a hitch, and once we got past the doorway by about twenty feet, Fidrych let out a loud yell that amounted to a Marine “Hoorah!” The three of us laughed and went to look for a place to watch the show.

We found an aisle in the lower arena that was pretty much on the side of the stage. We positioned ourselves near the last few steps from the back of the lower bowl, if you want to think in terms of hockey seating. The concert started almost right away, and we were just getting into it when the section usher came down to the step we were sitting on and explained that we could not block the aisleway. I knew that it was time to play the “these guys are Detroit Tigers” card. I pointed out to the usher that these two guys were Tiger players Tom Veryzer and Mark Fidrych. He raised his eyebrows and then looked at me and said, “And who are you?” I explained that I worked in the Tiger Stadium ticket office and was one year removed from being the Tiger Bat Boy. He stood quiet for a few seconds, and then said, “Okay. You can sit there, but stay to the far side of the steps in case somebody has to go up and down the stairs. I introduced Veryzer and Fidrych to the usher, and we sat back down on our step seats and enjoyed the band.

A little more than halfway through the evening, Fidrych said he was going to go to the concession stands to get a beer. We decided to stay put and waited until he returned. Twenty minutes or so went by, and no Bird. Finally, I turned my head around to see if I could spot him making his way back to us, and sure enough, I could see him. However he wasn’t on his way back. He was standing in long line to the girls’ bathroom directly behind the section we were sitting in, and he wasn’t alone. He had found two very attractive blonds who were there all by themselves. Apparently he had started a conversation with them on his way back to our seats on the steps. The ladies were on their way to the bathroom, and he decided to stand in line with them and continue the conversation. It did not end there, either. I watched as the line drew closer to the bathroom entrance, and I could see he was not going to wait outside for them. I tapped Veryzer on the shoulder (he was sitting in front of me) and pointed out what was going on. Tom giggled.

“Watch,” he said. “He will go right into the bathroom with them.” And he did!

Remember, this was 1976, long before girls started going into men’s bathrooms at concerts and sporting events – something they started doing sometime in the ’80s or ’90s, or maybe even later. This kind of thing was taboo back then, and I thought for sure Fidrych would end up with cops going in and carrying him out of there. But, alas, none were around. He disappeared into the bathroom with the girls and reappeared about ten or fifteen minutes later and headed toward us. He sat down behind me as we acknowledged his return. He grinned to us and said, “Got them.”

“Got them, what?” we replied.

“Got both their phone numbers, and I told them I’d be calling one of them tomorrow, but I didn’t tell them which one.”

Veryzer said, “Did you ever think of introducing one of them to us?”

“Nah,” he said. “I’m not sure which one I like better, but when I do I’ll see if the other one would like to meet one of you.” We all chuckled and went back to watching the remainder of the concert.

Jeffrey Krauthamer — Receptionist

Jeffrey KrauthamerAnyone who works in a busy office understands the value of a good receptionist, especially in a fast-paced, client-based business. Jeffrey Krauthamer's employer certainly does. For nearly 20 years, Jeffrey's exceptional organizational and office management skills have benefitted the attorneys and clients at a Chevy Chase, Maryland law firm.

Put simply, it is Jeffrey's job to ensure the firm's administrative side runs smoothly. He manages the phones, fax and incoming regular and electronic correspondence, and welcomes onsite visitors. Typically, he is the first person a client speaks to when contacting the business, helping to create a positive and professional impression.

The firm specializes in the areas of wills, estates, trusts and elder law and represents individuals and families with special needs. As such, Jeffrey is often trusted to handle confidential information. Jeffrey, who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair, gets to work using MetroAccess, Washington, D.C.'s shared-ride, door-to-door paratransit service for people with disabilities. Using this service allows him to be independent, something he values in both his professional and personal lives.

More information about paratransit services and accessible transportation for employees with disabilities is available from the Transportation to Work Toolkit for the Business Community, a project funded by ODEP through a cooperative agreement between the Community Transportation Association of America and the Federal Transit Administration.

Workplace stresses may prove killer in this off-the-rails office satire

Richard thinks he’s in luck when he snags a job at the cuckoo-clock factory, but things start to go wrong right off the bat. First of all there’s his boss, who doesn’t seem to have the strongest grip on reality and has an odd penchant for silly hats. Then there are his coworkers, who are alternately evasive and idiotic when asked about anything pertaining to actually getting work done. Finally there’s George, the employee Richard’s replacing, who supposedly quit but whose family has just appeared on national TV pleading for his safe return. It’s all adding up to a very strange workplace, and when the company goes on a retreat, everything spools quickly out of control.

From the author of Anna and Froga comes a wry, offbeat whodunnit that centers on office life. Anouk Ricard’s subtle, sardonic humor undermines the characters’ desperate attempts to be taken seriously, as they bungle kidnappings, misunderstand social cues, and let petty disagreements become feuds. Ricard’s dim-witted characters aspire to deviousness but miss their mark, remaining firmly in the domain of slapstick.

With cleverly observed dialogue, charming artwork, and brilliantly over-the-top plotting, Benson’s Cuckoos will delight the adult fans of Ricard’s comics for kids.

Praise for Benson's Cuckoos

Combine absurdity with Ricard's simplified, charming funny animal art style and you've got a very funny comic. Ricard has a healthy appreciation for the ridiculous that is as infectious here as it is in [her] Anna books.

Robot 6 / Comic Book Resources

[Benson’s Cuckoos] is like a fever dream of workplace anxiety drawn by Richard Scarry for those worn down by the business grind… Those who’ve worked office jobs with self-important, rude, or clueless coworkers (and who hasn’t?) will appreciate the satire.

Publishers Weekly

In Anouk Ricard’s gently bonkers satire, an everyman wage-earner endures the indignities foisted upon him by his zany boss and downtrodden co-workers. [Ricard] just barely cushion[s] her pointed jabs at the insular, dysfunctional families we construct at work.

If for some reason the default credit card gateway is disabled, there is a form at /admin/store/orders/%/payments/select/credit to display the available gateways and let the admin choose one to make a payment. I suspect this has never even been used, as the default gateway will be set and never changed on 99.9% of all sites, so this should just be removed.

After this patch is applied, I think we can simplify uc_payment_process_payment() further - at least the last parameter can be removed, which is TRUE to redirect after the payment is made - but this is never used in core, and should be the caller's responsibility anyway.

DanZ’s picture

When does this doomed form show up?

longwave’s picture

1. Enable at least three credit card payment gateways (Test Gateway, PayPal WPP, Authorize.Net, etc.)
2. Go to /admin/store/settings/payment/method/credit and select e.g. PayPal WPP as the default gateway
3. Disable the PayPal module, or whatever you selected in step 2
4. Find an order and edit the payment method to Credit card
5. View the order and click Process card
6. Enter some credit card details to attempt to charge the card
7. The payment gateway select page will be shown

This only ever shows up if you have selected a default gateway, then disabled the module that provides that gateway, still have at least two other gateways enabled, and then attempt to charge the card as an administrator. As this is such an unlikely set of circumstances I suspect this code has never been used, and I don't even think it works in 7.x at least as if I try this and attempt to charge Test Gateway I get a bunch of errors and "Credit card charge failed".

longwave’s picture

After applying the patch, instead you get "An error has occurred with your payment gateway. The charge function could not be found." which is a bit more sensible.
