Rio 2096: A Story of Love and Fury
Rio 2096, Brazil's entry in the Best Animated Feature Oscar race, explores the country's history and the transcendence of love through animation.
Singing animals and magical princesses need not apply: this year, Academy members will get to consider the charms of a unique animated tale, thanks to Brazilian co-producers Buriti Films and Gullane. The directorial debut of acclaimed screenwriter Luiz Bolognesi (The Best Things in the World, Birdwatchers), Rio 2096: A Story of Love and Fury is a powerful, 2D animated film which delves into difficult themes while delighting in the freedom of fantasy allowed by the medium.
The film, also written by Bolognesi, is centered on the love between Janaina and a native Indian warrior who, upon dying, takes the form of a bird. Over the next six centuries, their story persists, passing through four phases of Brazil's history: 16th century colonization, 19th century slavery, the height of the military regime in the 1970s and the year 2096, when a war over water resources rages in Rio de Janiero. Throughout time, the lovers struggle against oppression.
"I love graphic novels and animation," Bolognesi says through an e-mail interview. "It was a dream to me to write for an animation film because we have no limits. I studied anthropology in University and I love American mythology." The freshman director's first foray into feature animation has been a breath of fresh air on the festival circuit, earning best film honors at the Annecy, BraPeq Brazil and Le Nuit de Magiques events, among others.
"I tell the story I think is necessary to be told. In this case, we talk about the holocaust of American civilization that began in the 16th century and isn't over yet. And it is also [the United States] story, not only South America's. If there are people who prefer not to mention it, I am not one of them." — Writer/director Luiz Bolognesi
Part of what has made such an impact on audiences, critics and awards juries is the novelty of an animated film delving into such difficult subject matter. While audiences, especially in the States, may expect the genre to offer up family fare exclusively, Bolognesi sees the medium as a useful vehicle for bold storytelling. "I tell the story I think is necessary to be told," the director explains. "In this case, we talk about the holocaust of American civilization that began in the 16th century and isn't over yet. And it is also [the United States] story, not only South America's. If there are people who prefer not to mention it, I am not one of them."
This point of view is also reflected in one of the films that impressed on the young Bolognesi—Disney's Bambi. "It is the most violent film I have ever seen," he notes. "I didn't know that my parents would die before watching the film, nor that human beings could be so cruel." He says other important toons for him were Tekonkinkreet, Ghost in the Shell and Toy Story.
Drawing from History
Rio 2096 blends bold yet traditional character design with digitally enhanced backgrounds to bring the various worlds and times to life. Bolognesi began working on his animated opus back in 2001, drawing influence from graphic novel artists like Moebius, Enki Bilal, Milo Manara and Frank Miller. The initial animation was produced at Lightstar Studio in Santos, a port city southeast of the massive metropolis of Sao Paulo, where Buriti completed the film.
Bolognesi and the animation team decided early on to create the film in hand-drawn, pencil on paper animation. Later, computer graphics were used for composition and to add the finishing touches to backgrounds. The director says he loves the finished look of hand-drawn animation, which he says is not only beautiful but also offers the animators a different level of creative freedom and the chance to make their personal artistic input show in the final result.
The film industry veteran–who says he admires Hayao Miyazaki's films, French animation's artistry and Pixar's storytelling skills–is also enthusiastic about the broader state of the animated feature landscape and Brazil and throughout South America, which has seen an increase in opportunities (last year, Spanish-Argentine co-production Foosball became the most expensive animated film ever produced on the continent). Bolognesi believes the state of the industry there is excellent, with a wealth of up-and-coming talent eager to tackle new kinds of projects and a growing market for Brazilian cinema.
As for the wider world of theater-touring toons of the past year or so, Bolognesi reinforces his love of French productions by naming Zarafa and My Mommy Is in America and She Met Buffalo Bill as his top picks, while admitting an admiration for DreamWorks' inventive CG caveman adventure The Croods. "[2013] was a great year, but not typical," he notes.
While Rio 2096 continues to carry its message of history's crimes and the struggles of the human spirit across the globe, Bolognesi says he is already working on a new animation endeavor. The project, called Travellers, will center on the experience of childhood in the big city and how children must rely on their imaginations to relieve the bleakness of their surroundings and empty free time.
Despite the continuance of using heavy subjects in his hand-crafted stories, Bolognesi's tip to other aspiring animation auteurs is far from bleak. "Believe in the impossible more than the possible," he advises. We hope this message inspires more challenges to the standard toon storytelling trope in 2014 and beyond.

Physics Department Colloquium
Hyperspectral imaging uses a dispersion element in the optical path of the imager to spread the light across the wavelength domain onto a detector. Consequently, we can image a scene or object in hundreds of colors, providing the opportunity to perform material analysis and identification across a large scene. While we have used this technology in remote sensing (i.e., airborne or space-based imaging) for decades for applications such as precision agriculture, water quality, and other land use problems, the advent of smaller, more inexpensive systems has moved their use into the realm of conservation science and historical analysis of materials. Here, we present an introduction to hyperspectral imaging and describe how we use it to study two medieval maps imaged in the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford. The Gough Map of Great Britain (c. 1360) is the first map of Britain that is geographically recognizable. It was also used and modified for over 100 years. Similarly, the Selden Map of China (c. 1600) is a navigational map of the Seas off the coast of China and in the South Pacific. Both are unique artifacts with unknown origin, materials, modifications, and uses. We show how hyperspectral imaging can be used to answer some of these questions. I will also give a brief overview of the MS and Ph.D. programs in Imaging Science at RIT.

So I've wanted a tattoo for about a year and a half now, and I told myself last summer that if I still wanted one this summer, I could go ahead and get it. The only problem is I keep vaccillating on what, to the point where I can't even come up with potential designs to draw on with henna or whatever to test it out.
Strongest candidate for a location is my right shoulder/upper arm, just due to process of elimination and the fact that I want to be able to see it without looking in a mirror.
As far as what I want it to be, most of my ideas have involved something feline; first I was thinking a cat sillhouette, then leopard spots. I've also been thinking something with magickal elements, like a glyph made from the Greek letters for Thelema or a unicursal hexagram or something along those lines. Problem is I'm relatively paranoid about this being something that will be a part of me for the rest of my life, and want to make sure that it is something I will want for that long. I've always been a cat, so that's a reasonably safe bet. While I feel very strongly about Thelema/magick, that's still a relatively recent development, so who knows for the future. What I really need is something that represents a fundamental part of what I am, and faced with that challenge I keep drawing a blank! I also really like tribal/celtic designs, so maybe I'll just end up with something like that.... I very much want to design it myself, too, or at least come up with the basic idea myself.
"Alot of ppl go with feline's cause it is the most fave "image" to have plastered over your body. Its can be both masuline and feminine."

BILLBOARD MAGAZINE'S WEEKLY FEATURE ON STRICTLY DISCS:
As part of Billboard's efforts to best cover the coronavirus pandemic and its impacts on the music industry, Chris Eggertsen has been speaking with Angie each week to chronicle the experience of an independent record store throughout the crisis. Here is a link to the stories in the series so far:
Billboard Article #1 May 15th
Billboard Article #2 May 22nd
Billboard Article #4 June 5th
Billboard Article #5 June 12th
STRICTLY DISCS OPERATIONAL UPDATES - EXPANDED HOURS:
Starting Monday, Jun 22nd the shop hours will expand:
Monday - Thursday 10AM-6PM
NEW THIS WEEK AT THE SHOP:
A new record from Texas trio KHRUANGBIN offers a fresh glance of a band in full blossom. The group has championed eclectic influences since their beginnings; wandering guitar leads influenced by Thai countryside funk, pop balladry from Mexican and middle-eastern traditions, taut Purdie-esque breakbeats, and a spartan sense of Texan minimalism. On 'Mordechai', they go even further into open-source global pop, adding nods to doo-wop, Tom Tom Club, and that hardest style to assimilate: surf rock. Indeed, the Ventures made their name on a revamping of the Greek folk tune 'Misirlou', and here stands a band half a century later, dreamily returning the volley. Quietly cemented in their own tradition is the longtime bicoastal folk-rock outfit WOODS, who return from hiatus with their best album yet, 'Strange to Explain', a twilit album of propulsive yet mellow jams to burn one down to. If Fleetwood Mac went underground after 'Penguin', this is what they'd have come up with. Unapologetic pop brilliance is de rigeur from HAIM, who return with 'Women In Music, Pt. III'. Genre fluid hip-hop expressionism from Baltimore rap artist NAEEM is here via the exceedingly well-curated Vernon/Dessner label People.
Charismatic trumpeter AVISHAI COHEN convenes a stage band for his latest, 'Big Vicious', which comes at us with chops and aggression seldom-seen from the ECM label. Guitarist KURT ROSENWINKEL has a new trio record that melds streaky, Metheny-style playing with a little more of a proggy bite. Heaven sentry on earth NICOLE MITCHELL has a new duo record with fellow composer LISA E. HARRIS called 'EarthSeed', constructed as a response to the African American scifi writer Octavia Butler, who foretold our societal unraveling with works like 'The Parable of the Sower'.
New folk and pop is in on vinyl and CD from RAY LAMONTAGNE, COIN, and WILL HOGE.
The Numero Group's latest conceptual compilation is called LOUIS WAYNE MOODY HIGH, and it collects ephemeral 60s garage, bubblegum, and proto-punk b-sides in their inimitable fashion, capturing a forlorn genre of suburban yearning softof like the soft counterpart of their Darkscorch Canticles private hard rock comp. The voices continue to guide Mr. ROBERT POLLARD, who lays on us a new 7" EP that comes packaged in a 237 page book of his collage art, called 'Eat 16: the Soundtrack to Planet Cake'. Okey doke, Bob. Folktronic brilliance is here with the sophomore album from Australian artist GORDI.
Lush, introspective gloom rock is here from MIDWIFE, a "heavenly metal" musician from Denver. 'Forever' reminds me a bit of earlier Chelsea Wolfe, or Dorthia from Windhand's solo stuff. West Coast songwriter/rocker KATIE VON SCHLEICHER has a great new record called 'Consummation' that sands some of the prickers off the sound of Sharon Van Etten. Few wield effected guitar tones as expertly as the New York musician NOVELLER, whose new album 'Arrow' envelops you with precision and patience.
Mythical NYC band IKE YARD were the first American act to release on Factory Records with 1982's album 'A Second', an LP that hasn't lost any of its menace over the decades. Few groups took the post-punk brief as seriously as they did on this slab, which makes Suicide's albums (a huge influence no doubt) seem extravagant by comparison. In the same year, at the other end of the world, Australia's SLUGFUCKERS released their lone LP on a label run by Severed Heads's Tom Ellard. 'Transformational Salt' is schizo industrial synth-pop in the realm of the Residents or early Yello, with a uniquely Aussie bent. One of the first bands to shine out of the muck of early LA punk was The Bags, and lead singer ALICE BAG has kept at it at the microbial DIY level since then. Their last Madison show was at the dang Tip Top, even. 'Sister Dynamite' is a killer new album of righteous power in the spirit of classic X and Runaways records.
Some rather massive recent pop-country albums get released on vinyl for the first time this week; we've got MIRANDA LAMBERT's 'Platinum' and CARRIE UNDERWOOD's 'Some Hearts'. A 2LP set called 'Easy Rider' collects the best JOHNNY CASH tracks from his 80s/90s years on the Mercury label, and we have a new vinyl edition of ERIC CLAPTON and BB KING's classic collab, 'Riding With the King'.
A pair of rather hefty rap releases hit the vinyl format this week, including POST MALONE's rather ambitious lateral move into millennial pop, 'Hollywood's Bleeding', and the latest from the lyrically-skilled badboy PROF, 'Powderhorn Suites'.
An outsized portion of the ROLLING STONES discography gets reissued on vinyl this week in audiophile half-speed remaster treatment. We've got 'Exile on Main St', 'Some Girls', 'Tattoo You'', 'Steel Wheels', and the highly coveted 90s albums 'Voodoo Lounge' and 'Bridges to Babylon'.
In the late 70s, Congolese musicians SEKE MOLENGA and KALO KAWONGOLO arrived in Jamaica, invited by a promoter who quickly vanished. Fortuitously, they huddled up in the studio with none other than Lee Perry, shortly after he had finished engineering 'The Heart of the Congos'. Their sole LP features six tracks of a wonderfully potent amalgam of dub and tribal rhythm, returned to us now via the Antarctica Starts Here label, alongside SCIENTIST's groundbreaking 1980 album 'The Best Dub Album in the World', and the iconic 1968 debut from THE UNIQUES. The vocal trio of Slim Smith, Jimmy Riley, and Lloyd Charmers set up at Treasure Isle studios to record perhaps the definitive rocksteady album; miles deep in soul, threaded with a crack-of-midnight sense of dread and despair.
Michigan drone-zone lifers WINDY & CARL return with 'Allegiance and Conviction', which sounds like a Galaxie 500 record playing inside one of Brion Gysin's dream machines. Rising composor ERIK HALL and convened a fresh, yet reverent take on STEVE REICH's 'Music For 18 Musicians', and we have the most inviting record yet from Glasgow's CUCINA POVERA, an adventurous trip through delicate sound extremes not too far off from the recent work of Scott Walker.
Memphis blues-rock regents REIGNING SOUND see their 2005 classic 'Home For Orphans' reissued on LP, and we have a great new album from the Dutch group LEWSBERG. 'In This House' borrows the sunny minimalist rock of VU's 'Loaded' and leavens that with clever observations out of the Parquet Courts playbook. Australian post-punkers THE SHIFTERS dropped one of the last decade's greatest unheard rock albums on cassette only in 2015, which now gets its first vinyl edition.
Our first big metal delivery of the Covid era has arrived, bringing some truly blighted masterpieces on LP. 'Reflections of A Floating World', the opus of the mighty Boston band ELDER has a new pressing. We have a pair of diverse albums from OLD MAN GLOOM, the long-running supergroup with members of Isis and Mutoid Man. Brutal grindcore is in from CAUSTIC WOUND and FULL OF HELL, and we have a pair of modern classics from the Canadian death metallers TOMB MOLD.
Unheard acid-drenched blues rock ala Free or The Guess Who is unearthed from the early 70s Indianapolig group ICE. Psych-pop brilliance abounds on THE TURTLES' 1969 album 'Turtle Soup', now back in print, and we have an LP of unheard early 90s music from MUDHONEY, 'Pedazo de Pastel'.
USED VINYL ALERT:
Heading downstairs for this week's edition of the Used Vinyl Alert, its a heaping helping of classics awaiting you. Beloved records from Neil Young, Prince, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Harry Nilsson, Bruce Springsteen, Roxy Music, the Faces, Moby Grape, the Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, The Band, the Allman Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Waits, Lou Reed, Tom Petty, and more.
Heaviness is in from Black Sabbath, Kiss, King Crimson, Dokken, Styx, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden, and the Scorpions, plus a hall of fame cast of punk and early alternative classics from the New York Dolls, the Ramones, the Heartbreakers, Talking Heads, Buzzcocks, Bad Brains, the Clash, Ministry, Soft Cell, the Smiths, the Knitters, the Dead Boys, the Triffids, Flesh for Lulu, Depeche Mode, the Au Pairs, Band of Susans, Iggy Pop, and the Creatures.
Some primo jazz is in from Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Stitt, Grant Green, Steve Tibbetts, Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Oliver Nelson, and Dave Brubeck. A slew of chill exotica is in, alongside reggae from The Wailers, Bob Marley, and the Specials, and a nice variety of international, classical, and soundtrack jams, from Beat Street to Back to the Future.
Country and folk is in from the Outlaws, Willie Nelson, Flatt and Scruggs, Alan Lomaz, Dave Van Ronk, Jerry Jeff Walker, Emmylou Harris, and Ryan Bingham, plus some blues from John Lee Hooker, BB King, and Buddy Guy.
USED CD ALERT:
This week's selection of fresh used CDs is socially distanced and nearly new. A dear regular has cleared some shelf space, dropping us off a very cool crop of CD releases from the last handful of years. If you missed out on jazz titles from Terence Blanchard, Josh Redman, Brad Mehldau, Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano, Eric Dolphy, or Miles Davis, fret not. Recent albums from Prince, Radiohead, Neko Case, Gary Clark Jr, Fleet Foxes, Robert Plant, Jimi Hendrix, Robert Glasper, Neil Young, Beck and Sleater-Kinney are also in the mix.
TUESDAY'S SALES TO BENEFIT BOYS & GIRLS CLUB:
Each Tuesday in June, Strictly Discs will be donating 15% of all sales to local charities and initiatives that support our local communities of color. We stand with these groups to condemn the systemic racism that must be rooted out of our society, and to support the most vulnerable members of these communities.
This Tuesday, June 30, we will be making our donation to The Boys & Girls Club of Dane County, an organization that strives to be the leader in youth development programs by developing partnerships to produce positive outcomes for young people, families, and communities. For more information on what they are doing, check out The Boys & Girls Club of Dane County.
Our donation tally includes all online sales on Tuesday, as well as in-store purchases.
RECORD STORE DAY IS NOW RSD DROPS SPREAD OVER 3 DATES:
It's an unusual year, which means unusual news about Record Store Day.
Earlier this spring, Record Store Day announced a rescheduled June 20 date for the annual holiday, but with ongoing health and safety concerns, we now have a new plan.
Instead of a single-day global celebration, the 2020 releases will now be available over a series of monthly RSD Drops events, from August to October, followed by a regularly-scheduled Black Friday in November. This means we'll have four months of release events – the RSD 2020 exclusives spread out over three months, followed by a new round of exclusives for Black Friday – to end this strange year on a high note.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we evolve on the fly with this one. Our goal is to keep the RSD spirit intact, connecting musicians, fans and record stores in a time where we need eachother the most!
Here's the official announcement from Record Store Day headquarters:
Since 2008, Record Store Day has grown into the world's largest single-day music event, shining a light on the culture of the indie record store across the globe. In 2020, that world is different, so Record Store Day will be, too. RSD is now scheduled to be celebrated with special, properly-distanced release dates on Saturdays in August, September and October.
Record Store Day will look very different this year, but supporting indie record stores may be more important than ever. We don't know what sort of rules will be in place, or what sort of gatherings people will be in the mood for this year, so we're focusing on the music and getting the really great titles on the RSD official list this year into the stores and into your hands, in the most financially and socially responsible way.
WISHLISTS:
Since so much has changed with Record Store Day, you will need to start a new list for any or all of the three dates. Lists made prior to April are no longer active/valid.
We will try to have ample stock (one of the deepest in the midwest) of all items, but please know that some of these products are extremely limited and will sell out quickly.
WISHLISTS CAN BE MADE HERE.
Stay tuned for many more details in the coming weeks.
STRICTLY DISCS T-SHIRT TO BENEFIT SHOP:
After Record Store Day was postponed, the custom clothing company Bonfire out of Richmond, VA contacted us wanting to design a limited edition Strictly Discs shirt highlighting our current message of safety & hope during these unprecedented times.
Bonfire's mission is To Strengthen & Inspire Communities. Well, we are humbled by our community that believes, like we do, that music is essential.
The related t-shirts/hoodies for adults/children will be delivered directly to your door.
For our campaign Bonfire is donating proceeds back to us as they too are fans of Strictly Discs. Now that's rad.
Purchases help ensure Strictly Discs survives this crisis and continues to be your music resource. We are humbled by our community who believes, like we do, that music is essential.

26 Things You Should Know About Chvrches, Your New Favorite Electro-Pop Band
Once "The Mother We Share" gets stuck in your head, you're going to be obsessed forever. Just a warning.
by Matthew Perpetua
1. This is Chvrches, a pop band from Glasgow, Scotland.
Via noisey.vice.com
2. The name is pronounced "Churches," not "Chvvvr-ches" or something weird like that.
Via chvrches.tumblr.com
This just makes it much easier to find them in a Google search.
Let's meet the band!
3. This is Lauren Mayberry. She's the lead singer, and also plays some synthesizer.
Via laurenmayberryappreciation.tumblr.com
4. Before Chvrches took off, Lauren was pursuing a career in writing. She has a master's degree in journalism, and won a prestigious journalism award back in 2010 for an article she wrote about the hygiene of body piercing.
You can read her story in full in this PDF file.
5. She also has her own recipe for beef and chorizo chili.
6. And, uh, she can do a pretty good impression of Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
7. This is Iain Cook. He plays synthesizers, plus some guitar and bass.
John Speirs / Via Facebook: CHVRCHES
8. Before Chvrches, Iain was a member of the Scottish indie bands Aerogramme and The Unwinding Hours.
9. This is Martin Doherty. He plays synthesizers and samplers.
10. Martin used to be a touring member of the indie band The Twilight Sad.
Via consequenceofsound.net
11. Lauren was in two bands before Chvrches — a group called Boyfriend/Girlfriend, and more recently, Blue Sky Archives. Here's a couple of their songs:
12. Iain recorded Blue Sky Archives' EP, and started Chvrches after inviting Lauren to sing on some demos he had recorded with Martin, who he knew from back when they went to school together.
Via thekey.xpn.org
13. Chvrches debuted their first demo, "Lies," on the Neon Gold blog in May 2012, and they were pretty much immediately popular in the music blog scene.

14. A few months later, the band released another amazing song called "The Mother We Share."
15. The trio built on their hype by touring relentlessly through 2012, with headlining and festival gigs mixed in with high-profile support slots with like-minded bands like Passion Pit, Depeche Mode, and School of Seven Bells.

16. Chvrches started off 2013 by putting out yet another ridiculously catchy song called "Recover."
17. The band is finaaaallllllly releasing its first album, The Bones of What You Believe, on Sept. 24.
18. It includes all of those songs, plus "Gun." They made a pretty trippy video for that one.
19. Part of the reason it took a while for their album to come out is because they are fiercely independent, and made sure their record contract gave them a huge amount of creative freedom. Here's a quote from Lauren in an interview with The Guardian.
20. As you would probably guess by listening to their music, Chvrches are heavily influenced by a lot '80s pop, and they've mentioned in interviews that they're big fans of Cyndi Lauper, Kate Bush, and The Cocteau Twins.
21. They also love Whitney Houston, and have been talking about covering "It's Not Right, But It's Okay" at upcoming shows.
Here's Lauren talking about how much she loves that song.
Via outofordermag.com
22. That hasn't happened yet, but they do an excellent version of Prince's classic "I Would Die 4 U" in concert.
23. And they recorded a pretty great cover of Haim's song "Falling" for the BBC's Live Lounge.

24. Chvrches also make a lot of remixes, like this fun, bouncy version of MS MR's song "Hurricane."
25. Unlike a lot of bands, Chvrches make a point of personally writing everything on their Facebook and Twitter accounts.
Here's Martin explaining why they care so much about that in an interview with Out of Order.
26. But even if you propose very nicely in a tweet, Lauren will not marry you.


Panthers vs Redskins :The Redskins will return home in Week 6 when the team plays host to the Carolina Panthers at FedExField. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. The Redskins look to bounce back in a short week following a tough loss on Monday Night Football with another tough NFC South test on the docket.
The "NFL GameDay Pick'Em" crew make their picks for the Week 6 matchup between the Carolina Panthers and Washington Redskins.
Before the Redskins take on the Panthers at FedExField, Redskins.com's Jake Kring-Schreifels and Dante Koplowitz-Fleming provide the storylines and matchups to follow on Sunday.
The buzzword at the Inova Sports Performance Center at Redskins Park this week has been communication.
"From our standpoint there was a lack of communication on the field and we didn't get it done," defensive coordinator Greg Manusky said Thursday, which accurately sums up the several variations of how that word was used over the last couple days.
After the team's loss to the Saints on Monday, in which the defense allowed seven plays of more than 20-plus yards, including a 62-yard touchdown pass that gave Drew Brees the all-time passing yards record.
That play specifically stands out because of the blown coverage – a mental error on cornerback Josh Norman, and one of a few that the Redskins secondary had on Monday. It mostly leads back to communication issues, which the team is determined to solve this week against the Panthers.
"It's communication, everything is communication, something being busted is communication," Norman said. "And that's something that I take ownership of, that's something to get my guys prepared for it, I have to be more ordered in my steps and what we are able to do and what we are being processed from you know the coaches to the players and that's something I've got to take ownership of and get better as my unit go out there on the field because they look at us to perform and prepare in the way we're supposed to as pros and we've got to do that.
Linebacker Mason Foster, who said the team started correcting all of the issues on the flight home from New Orleans, knows that as the Mike linebacker, a lot of the communication issues come back to him and safety D.J. Swearinger Sr.
On a couple plays on Monday, they weren't on the same page and the Saints either took advantage, or missed a big-play opportunity.
Head coach Jay Gruden took ultimate responsibility for the miscues and knows those will need to be limited this week dealing with quarterback Cam Newton, running back Christian McCaffrey and the Panthers' run-option trickery.
Added Foster: "We're too talented of a defense, too talented of a team to make those kinds of mistakes that cost us big like that. Everybody knows it, everybody's out there working extra doing what they've got to do to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Dr Kathryn Collins
kcollins at bournemouth dot ac dot uk
Lecturer (Academic) in Physiotherapy
Royal London House R601, Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, BH1 3LT
I graduated as a physiotherapist in 2003 from The Sage Colleges in Troy, New York, USA. I worked as a physiotherapist for nine years in Chicago, USA, specialising in neurology. During this time I enjoyed being a clinical supervisor to physiotherapy students and became interested in research. I worked on a research trial with stroke survivors; this experience further sparked my interest in pursuing research, which led me to England in 2012 to undertake a PhD. In 2016 I graduated with a PhD in Health Sciences from the University of East Anglia. After finishing my PhD I worked as a researcher and grant writer. I joined Bournemouth University in 2017 as a Physiotherapy Lecturer.
My research interests are mixed such as neuro-rehabilitation, neural plasticity, upper limb recovery after stroke, how neurological disease impacts on the well-being of stroke survivors and their quality of life, and how to better translate research into clinical practice. My PhD focused on upper limb recovery of reaching and evaluation of the corticospinal pathway; these aims were achieved through two systematic reviews and two empirical studies. The systematic reviews investigated the kinematic differences between stroke survivors and healthy controls during reach-to-grasp of an object as well as reach-to-target. The two empirical studies investigated the test-retest reliability of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) measures of corticospinal pathway excitability in both stroke survivors within the first three months after stroke and in healthy adults across the lifespan.

Kalecgos?! That's your good foot forward? Good luck with that one, buddy.
No no no. You don't understand. I'm here to help.
Of course you are. Here to save big blue from himself, spending all his time in the spirit world, obsessing over magical artifacts. Kalec doesn't understand though. I've turn a new leaf.
Meet someone? I didn't know there were any other dragons out here.
A dragon? Hah! Don't be ridiculous. You know you're awfully rude. She's standing right here!
She has a name, you know. Anara. You'd do well to treat her with respect she deserves. How many times have she and her sisters brought you back from the grip of death itself? You're just all kinds of inconsiderate, aren't you?
I know. I know. We could never be, right? Dragon and Spirit Healer. Two different words! Not to mention the physiological problems. But you're wrong. We have a deeper connection than that. Anara and I, we're involved. Besides, I kind of like it here. No adventurers to poke and prod me with no provocation.
That's not what I was saying at all.
Well get to it then. You're the one veering off onto all these unnecessary topics.
I'm the... forget it. I'm here to warn you that the black dragonflight is here hunting you.
Oh. That? Thought I hadn't noticed the scorched earth and senseless slaughter that usually give them away? I'm not that old.
You already know? Why don't you go stop them then?
Why bother? It's not like they actually have even the slightest clue where I am. They're not going to do any harm to the already-found artifacts around here. Anyway, one of the amusingly convenient things about evil and destruction is that they tend to just evilly destruct each other eventually.
But Kalecgos is already out there trying to stop them. He needs your help.
He's going after them? And he send you to ask me for help? Was there begging? Were there tears? You know, if I came to hisrescue, there's no way he could ever live it down. Maybe he'd make me one of those little Sunwell girls of my very own. No offense, Anara.
Yeah yeah, I'll come to his rescue. Don't you fall into his little center-of-the-world hero bit though! He just likes the attention. I swear, he thinks he's going to be the next Aspect. It's laughable.


Some people remember events in their past by associating them with locations, emotions, people, even what they wore, for me it's what I ate. I remember menus like other (normal) people remember famous landmarks. Here's an example: I can describe at length how awe inspiring it was to stand in the Sistine Chapel gazing at the ceiling I had seen in so many photographs and only dreamed of viewing in person – I can also tell you what I ate for lunch that afternoon.

We've been declared by the New York Times to be the happiest people in the country. You wouldn't know it by reading this column! This week, we're discussing another seemingly weekly local progressive protest that just pisses most people off (as usual), the $200 million dollar price tag for being politically correct, a bank robbery on Morrissey, a car fire on 17, bum thieves caught at the laundromat, Joe Heston speaks the truth, the city looks for feedback on a new chief for SCPD, Steve Bernal speaks the truth, Steve Pleich loves to run for public office early and often, Mike and Kate sing about Santa Cruz, Hugh's News, Guerreros, and a few other things.
Downtown "March" Gets Progressively Uglier at the Clock Tower
Wait. Aren't we the happiest town in America?
A planned march to celebrate a national women's event turned ugly on Wednesday afternoon when a couple hundred people decided to clog traffic at the clock tower on Pacific and Water streets. What started out as a seemingly smaller, peaceful group of mostly older women seemed to turn ugly as a group of angry (no other way to really describe them) UCSC students marched down the hill and joined the women at Louden Nelson, before both groups walked over to Pacific Avenue and down to the clock tower. The UCSC group seemed to be protesting everything BUT the reason for the event, which led to different groups trying to outshout each other for attention, completely drowning out the original "women's rights" message in a typically boring Santa Cruz tsunami of progressive white noise. As they blocked traffic at the clocktower (and with SCPD seemingly nowhere to be found), things turned ugly when a truck tried to force it's way through the crowd, who then turned on the driver. Dirt clods were thrown, dude clods in tank tops were held back, and the usual regressive hysteria ensued. But Trader Joe's was empty! Win!
"Intense conflict, rage at Santa Cruz Women's Day strike" screams the headline. More in the Senile.
This is What a $200 Million Dollar Declaration Looks Like
Supervisor Ryan Coonerty, who represents the City of Santa Cruz for county matters on the Board of Supervisors recently sent out a letter to the other Board members (and which can be seen as an attachment to the March 7th, 2017 agenda packet). I'm not going to reprint the letter in it's entirety. It's far too long and self aggrandizing. But I do want to share a few choice nuggets I'll just call "reveals". Stuff you'd like to know but it's not very forthcoming from the county given their general lack of transparency. He'll probably claim it's "taken out of context". I'll just say I'm "separating the wheat from the chaff" here. You be the judge. I don't pander.
Reveal 1: Santa Cruz is officially "on notice" with the Trump Administration
"On January 25, 2017, President Trump issued Executive Order 13768 which gives the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security the power to declare any "sanctuary jurisdiction" ineligible to receive any federal funds"
"Fifty-six California Counties, including Santa Cruz County, are on a list of "sanctuary jurisdictions" maintained by the federal government because these counties do not honor voluntary detainer requests issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."
Reveal 2: The financial cost of that meaningless (to the feds) and unenforceable "Sanctuary City" declaration to Santa Cruz County is estimated to potentially be $200 Million Dollars. Almost 30% of the annual operating budget.
"If the Executive Order were to be enforced against Santa Cruz County, the County would stand to lose approximately two hundred million dollars or 29% of total revenue in the 2016-2017 budget."
So there you go. It could actually cost us $200 million dollars locally to be "politically correct".
And then Ryan announces on his Facebook page that the BoS supports his idea of jumping into this public pissing match with Trump and the DHS on a national stage with taxpayer salaried "staff" from the county legal team. When asked about the cost to the community, Ryan claims "no cost" to this but that's a load of mierda. There's an "opportunity cost" to this. And he knows it. If "staff" is sitting around with nothing to do, maybe a layoff or 2 is in order here. Or outsource the positions to make them more flexible to the demands of the county. But don't sell me some bullshit line that there's no cost here. They could always be doing something else, something more local, pragmatic, and less idealistic. Something meaningful instead of something meaningless.
And in an interesting twist here, the city of Salinas is also planning their own action on this.
Here'a few choice, "on point" quotes from that article that I wanted to share here as well:
"Just two weeks ago, the City Council rejected a resolution to make Salinas a sanctuary city as Councilmembers Kimbley Craig, Steve McShane, Tony Villegas, and Mayor Joe Gunter struck it down. Salinas City Attorney Callihan stressed that becoming a sanctuary city does nothing to prevent U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from conducting raids, and deporting illegal immigrants. Mayor Gunter is a former police officer. He agreed with Callihan that a sanctuary status would not accomplish anything, and only jeopardize the city's federal funding." (I bolded that last part just to make sure nobody missed it – BD). Can Joe Gunter be OUR Mayor?
"Some Salinans and City Council members supported the idea of declaring Salinas a sanctuary city. I understand their position, but legally, it would have no real effect in terms of protecting anyone in the community from the enforcement of federal immigration law by the federal government. The resolution would not prevent ICE, for example, from coming into Salinas and enforcing federal immigration law," Callihan said.
OH REALLY? CAN SOMEONE TELL THAT TO THE SANTA CRUZ CITY COUNCIL AND THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS?
US Bank on Morrissey Robbed on Friday Afternoon
The Morrissey branch of the US Bank was robbed at gunpoint on Friday afternoon around 1PM, when a masked man held employees at gunpoint and demanded cash. No one was injured. The suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of money he took from drawers and stashed in a black cloth bag. Multiple SCPD units responded to the scene, and they were actually able to trace a dye pack in the money bag and follow it for a while. Eventually, they lost the trace in the 400 block of Mission. The suspect apparently remains at large. The suspect is described as a white male in his 20s, about 5'10" with a medium build. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, brown beanie with a black stripe, black sunglasses, dark pants, dirty white shoes and gloves according to SCPD reports.
Car Crashes and Burns on Highway 17
I got a report about a car crashing near Glenwood on Highway 17 on Monday morning. The car, a Subaru, apparently was headed Northbound on Highway 17 when it hit and crashed into a retaining wall near the Glenwood Drive exit and burst into flames. The fire eventually fully engulfed the vehicle, but not before the occupants were able to escape safely. The roads were extremely wet from the morning rain and a number of other minor spinouts were also reported. Slow down people. You move to fast. You gotta make the morning last. Don't drive like a fool and make an already horrible commute a bigger nightmare for everyone else.
SCPD Finds Stolen Truck and Stolen Merchandise at Local Laundromat
Sunday night around 7PM, SCPD responded to the Seaside Wash & Dry laundromat on Mission Street to investigate a report of a stolen pickup truck. The officer on scene was then flagged down by a man who claimed to be the victim of a vehicle burglary and was detaining the suspect. The victim claimed to have had his vehicle broken into while surfing at Four Mile Beach earlier that day. The victim reported the window was smashed out, and his clothes and several other items were stolen, including his iPhone. He activated the "Find my iPhone app" to track the stolen phone and located it in the stolen truck at the laundromat. The victim and a friend looked into the interior of the truck and saw his property in plain view. When the victim opened the truck and began to retrieve his property, the suspect, a 33 year old male from Watsonville walked out of the laundromat and inquired what they were doing in "his truck." When they told him they were taking their stolen property back, the man became extremely nervous and then claimed the truck actually belonged to someone inside the business. He tried to get into the truck and drive away but broke the gear shift in the process. While this was happening, the victim was calling 911 to report the incident and the male ran off onto Bellevue Street. The victim and his friend pursued the suspect and detained him until SCPD arrived.
In his possession, the suspect had several credit cards and driver licenses that belonged to several other individuals. He was also in possession of approximately 3 grams of methamphetamine and 1 gram of heroin. Meanwhile, the victim's friend went back to the laundromat and saw a woman walking up to the truck. She asked the victim's friend if he'd seen where her partner had gone. He explained what took place and told her to wait for the police. The woman abandoned her laundry cart next to the truck and fled. Soon after, SCPD found the 29 year old woman from Santa Cruz on Bellevue and Seaside Street. She was arrested for two outstanding felony warrants and possession of narcotic controlled substances. In addition to an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest, the male was arrested for vehicle theft, possession of narcotic controlled substances and stolen property.
Joseph Heston Is Not a Fan of Being Pandered to by SCPD
Joe Heston is the General Manager of local TV station KSBW. He likes to do editorials. He REALLY likes to do editorials. He's preaching to the choir here for me.
City Seeks Community Input for Police Chief Recruitment
As the City begins the process of hiring a new Police Chief, City staff would like to get feedback from community members about priorities for the new Chief. The community can provide input in two ways, by attending one of two public meetings the City will host or by participating in the community survey. Upcoming public meeting dates and times:
Wednesday, March 15th in the Police Department Community Room (155 Center St Santa Cruz) from 7-9pm
Thursday, March 16th at the Beach Flats Community Center (1333 Lebrandt Ave. Santa Cruz) from 7-9 pm (bilingual)
Online Community survey:
If you have any questions, please contact the City at 420-5010.
A Calm Discussion About How ICE Works in Monterey County
Spare me the fake drama from city and county electeds, the flaming, fear mongering rhetoric, and the baseless accusations from local wingnut progressives. After I watched this video, I realized how full of mierda the city of Santa Cruz is in dealing with all this. Please watch this video. Learn the facts. Check out the "ICE Office" in the video! It's a basket for file folders. Hilarious! John Leopold is a fool. Give me the name of the full time, 40 hours per week ICE agent "planted" within SCPD or just STFU. People like Leopold (and Krohn) undermine public safety with their stupid, reckless speculation and lies.
My favorite quote:
"My number one priority in Monterey County is public safety. Public safety for everybody, whether you are undocumented or not. The migrant community in Monterey County is the backbone of our county, of our economy. There is not doubt about that. But I just don't like giving people false hope. If you call Monterey County a 'sanctuary county' I think that is giving immigrants false hope that they are protected. That is not going to stop federal agents from coming in and doing what they want to do. If federal agents come to us and they have a warrant for somebody's arrest, especially if they are violent felons known to have weapons, we will assist them in the field. That is different than assisting them I the field just doing immigration raids. We will not assist in immigration raids. If you have collateral people, if you serve a warrant say at somebody's home and you have a serious violent gang member and there are other people in the home, well, we want to know who those people are."
– Steve Bernal, Sheriff of Monterey County
Moving On to Bigger and Brighter Pipe Dreams
I noticed recently that Steve Pleich is "running" for the 3rd District Seat of the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors. The election is almost 2 years away (so it might be too early to "announce" it) but that's not stopping Steve from getting a jump start on everyone else! The hell with the city council, Steve's aiming higher now. Now he wants to take on Ryan Coonerty. Good luck there. The Coonerty™ brand is stamped all over Santa Cruz, and is consistently associated with success. Steve's brand is stamped all over local non profits and city council elections and is consistently associated with losing elections or standing in line at city council meetings to spend 2 minutes complaining about something. I know I'm harsh on Steve but I actually like the guy. I really wish he would apply his time more wisely and productively. Find small successes and build on that. Stop swinging for homers and always striking out. Take a hint from Downtown Chip on how it's done. Focus dude.

Hugh's News
Back from vacation and catching up on our local shit show from video. This video is almost 10 hours long. 10 HOURS! I just can't. Skipping to Oral Communications. Gargantuan codependent came forward with her usual passive aggressive attack on SCPD. Suddenly she is an expert on 21st Century Policing. Shouldn't you be tending to the livestock, knitting a scarf or cleaning out a buggy somewhere? Another speaker condemned the behavior of two Council members (Khron and Brown) for encouraging the crowd of protesters that blew into chambers during the February 14 meeting chanting "Let us speak" I need to buy that guy a beer. Two people came forward requesting that Council support them in erecting a statue in the memory of Madison Middleton. I can certainly support that and what a nice change to see people come forward to humbly ask for support as opposed to the usual line of kooks that step up the mic at Oral Communications. For instance, one speaker accused Richelle Noroyan of "horrific behavior" for speaking to another council member while someone was sharing two weeks ago. You know what is horrific dude? Your mustache. And now onto the 7:00pm session for the Immigration Policies and Update. Chief Vogel and Deputy Chief Flippo gave a presentation on the events of February 13 stating again that they were assured by DHS that no immigration enforcement would occur. There's a very informative powerpoint with a timeline of the investigation and arrests of MS-13 gang members. Go look at it. Public comment consisted of many individuals sharing their stories, concerns, fears of what took place February 13. I hope they are listening as much as they are talking. The usual group of Monday Morning quarterbacks were present once again telling police how they should do their jobs. I'm bored, I can't watch anymore of this video.
So yesterday I went to the march downtown to celebrate International Women's Day. It started at Louden Nelson and then the march was to go to the Town Clock. This could have been a peaceful and awesome event. But it wasn't. Because an outside group inserted themselves into the mix. A group of angry, intense UCSC students showed up. My first clue that things were going to go South was people showing up with bandannas on their faces. Seriously, why would you need to hide your face for a march that was about appreciating women for who they are and what they do? This could have been about empowerment, appreciation and cohesiveness. The people gathering at the Town Clock were doing just that. But across the street blocking traffic another group gathered. A group of pontificating self entitled assholes taking advantage of the situation. They blocked traffic, they yelled obscenities at drivers, drivers got pissed and yelled obscenities back. A few people in cars honked their horns and inched forward. There were several altercations one of which made it onto the news. Some cars were able to turn around and get out of the mess. One brave woman assisted people in cars in turning around and directing traffic. She tried to reason with the people that were blocking traffic and they were vile to her. One woman in particular in a red down vest was screaming at the top of her lungs at anyone that challenged her. Possessed much? Seriously girl, your meds seem to be a bit off. I walked away from there grateful that I went. Grateful for the women and men that showed up in peace and unity. So angry kids check this out. I know you have big feelings, and yes there is racism, homophobia and classism in this world of ours. I stand strongly with anyone who wants to change that because it is completely unacceptable. I believe in what you were standing up for. The thing is when you block traffic, stop people from picking up their kids from school, getting to doctor appointments, getting to work you are creating the separation. You are pushing people away from you. You are pissing them off. You aren't gathering allies, you are creating enemies. I am willing to bet most of the folks on the road yesterday feel very much the same as you. They want peace and they want equality for all. I believe that anyway. There are ways to empower one another without screaming, yelling and stomping your feet. There were people at the Clock Tower that have been marching for human rights for decades, probably before your parents were born. Next time leave your bandannas at home and make some new friends.

Golden State Warriors:
The GS Warriors had a couple days off after their recent back to back losses against the Wizards and the Bulls. They were pretty determined to not lose 3 games in a row, something they haven't done in over 2 years. The Knicks played scrappy and kept the game close but the Warriors pulled away in the closing minutes and won 112-105. Then they had to fly to Atlanta for another tough back to back on the road. Scrappy little point guard Dennis Schroeder torched the Warriors in the first quarter for 21 points. This guy always seems to give Curry fits. But then he got into a beef with his coach and got benched. Curry had 24 points and Iggy added another 24 off the bench in their 119-111 win. They flew home to take on the surging Celtics at Oracle, and looked and played tired. Curry and Klay continued to struggle with their shots, and while Curry finished with 23 points and Klay had 25, they collapsed in the 4th quarter, scoring only 12 points as a team as they just ran out of gas, losing 99-86. Now they have to get on a plane again and fly to Minnesota for a Friday game, followed by a back to back against one the league's best teams. Brutal scheduling.
Upcoming games this week: 3/10 at Minnesota, 3/11 at San Antonio, 3/14 vs. Philadelphia, 3/16 vs. Orlando
Santa Cruz Warriors:
The Santa Cruz Warriors took on Reno at the Kaiser on Saturday night. In their 25th straight sellout at Kaiser Arena, the Sea Dubs won 114-107. Scott Wood led the Warriors with 26 points and 5 rebounds. Phil Pressey had a double-double with 25 points and 13 assists to go with 5 rebounds. Damian Jones, on assignment from the Golden State Warriors, scored a season-high 19 points and grabbed 12 rebounds off the bench. Wednesday night, the team returned to the Kaiser where they defeated the Raptors 905 by a score of 128-122. Phil Pressey led all scorers with 28 points and 11 assists. Cleanthony Early came off the bench to add 25 points. James Southerland added 24 points, while Damian Jones contributed 16 points and 5 assists.
Upcoming games this week: 3/10 vs. Ft. Wayne (at Kaiser), 3/12 at Iowa, 3/14 at OKC
I'm on Medium!
I recently signed on with Medium to help spread the word about the Weekly Dump to a broader audience. Medium is what I'd describe as a "self publishing platform", where people that like to tell stories post their stories and people that like to read stories go there to read them. Think of it as something like an early version of the Huffington Post. I'd love to get more visibility over there, which means I need "friends of the Dump" to like me up and share my posts over there. Check it out if you have a minute and show me some love!
Tammy Pon says:
HUGH! Go back and watch the end of the CC video around 567 minutes. Cynthia Chase and Richelle Noroyan pretty much hand Khron his balls to him in a jar. Hasn't he served on Council before? Doesn't he know he can't just change the order of the meeting because he wants to? What a tool!
"that's right…the women are…smarter…that's right…the women are…smarter…"

Trader joes was empty- Lol…
It made me dare I say it….happy!
I swear this is the only place to find any decent local news besides ksco's local news updates.
Arthur Macmillan says:
I totally love the REM video. I love the B-52 chick's wonderful voice.
I was a little in shock when you came out saying of course, you support Santa Cruz being a sanctuary city. Of course the City Council will unanimously scream Sanctuary City at the top of their lungs.
My take on uncontrolled immigration is that it just another way for the rich to squeeze more money out of the poor, at the expense of a poorer middle and lower class, and more pressure to build, and pollute, and drive up real estate, medical, and insurance costs to benefit the few.
The state demands population increases, housing increases, growth in every area. But is growth going to solve climate change, an ecological disasters? Growth is the road to extinction, and the world is continuing to play chicken with our world.
I'd love it if the United States could set an example with zero population growth, and building ecologically sustainable solutions to problems. If the world isn't going to sink someone is going to have to realign their priorities and demonstrate that we can set goals and reach them if we put survival of our planet as a higher goal than the idea of population growth to drive up profits. This economic pyramid scheme so desperate to suck in more levels on the bottom isn't going to continue to work. For the same reason that all pyramid schemes fail. Only the people in the upper levels win. The majority loose, and loose big.
Funny how council men with more than one home in Santa Cruz want it to be a sanctuary city. Funny they aren't doing anything like provide sanctuaries.
Our entire planet is a sanctuary for primates on the way to extinction, so I guess it doesn't really matter, does it?
You don't have to call yourself a "Sanctuary City" to be one. Actions always speak louder than words. Unless you live in Santa Cruz, where it's a constant, endless battle with a war of words. I think city leaders in both Salinas and Monterey have demonstrated arguably much better pragmatic and sound leadership on this issue than the emotional, reactionary city leaders we seem to be stuck with here. And Salinas and Monterey have arguably a bigger problem with this than we do. Santa Cruz needs to grow up.
That is very true! Actions speak louder than words! I can't deal with social media, any more. I think there is a lot of wrong thinking about having won a debate when you drive away the people you supposedly want to influence. The ability to exchange ideas seems to be a mirage that keeps getting further away. I think if you and I were on different sides of an issue, the worst thing I could do would be to antagonize you. That is the big joke about the war of words. If you win it, it means you now only preach to the converted. Kind of a waste.
Tricia Barrett says:
I really enjoy reading your weekly dump. Your comments about Santa Cruz being a sanctuary city is spot on about what bad decision that is and losing out on federal funding. The council members and the chief of police have lost their minds. Sadly they are driving long time local residents away because of this type of decision making. As a conservative it's really hard to see how far out numbered we are. Thanks for your weekly dump, makes me smile, especially the comment that Trader Joe's was empty. LOL!
Thanks for reading and commenting Tricia! Muchas Gracias!
Grachus votes this weeks best quote as "….typically boring Santa Cruz tsunami of progressive white noise." Classic indeed!!
Thanks again for reading and commenting Grachus!
I wanted to add that I appreciate all you work, and insights as well. It is nice to finally be getting some real reporting. This notion that we are above the federal laws and can choose to not cooperate with the federal government is absurd. This feeling that putting on masks and causing chaos down town is legitimate protest is ridiculous. Robert Norse wearing a bathrobe and carrying a teddy bear…All these things are just embarrassing. We have real issues to deal with but instead we have to pretend that blocking traffic, and passing meaningless resolutions is progressive. Insulting, disrupting, and defying are government. That's what passes for progressive? Now there are bumper stickers declaring the people are part of the resistance! What? Are they planning military actions? Terrorist acts? Assassination? It comes off as more of an excuse the vandalize, and commit petty crimes to me. I guarantee anyone serious about planning anti-government actions isn't going to call attention to themselves. You'd think smashing windows, spraying graffiti, and obstructing traffic was the answer to all of our problems. Maybe we could have another barricade at Hwy 17?
Thanks again for reading and commenting Art! It's kind of the perfect storm right now with Trump's version of McCarthyism, conspiracy theories presented now as "alternate facts", 24/7 information overload driven by social media, and lots and lots of anger. Except in Santa Cruz. We don't get angry here. We're the happiest place on Earth! (or is that Disneyland?)
I'm not a fire breathing conservative. In fact, just about anywhere but Santa Cruz I'd be called, liberal, progressive, even socialist. But I don't exactly see why the federal government should not have the power to sanction states that are declaring open defiance of federal laws. Unfortunately we don't get to pick and choose, and only abide by the laws that we agree with. Unfortunately, this has become so commonplace now we've become mired in laws that most people oppose, or ignore. A better route would be to push to change laws we don't support, not just declare we won't abide by them.
Shawna Glynn says:
Thanks for posting the police survey link! And thanks for another great issue!
Thanks Shawna! I like Vogel. He deserves a much better sendoff from the City and County for his years of service. He deserves his own day's proclamation. Instead, he becomes the scapegoat and fall guy because a bunch of overly sensitive electeds don't want the political fallout of a successful law enforcement action they couldn't "control" (i.e., manipulate and screw up). It's pretty shameful from my view.
Progressive Hair Issues says:
I have some information on the International Women's Day event. There were three groups involved. Women's Action Santa Cruz, the strike group (mostly old pregressives from Occupy SC and the UCSC students) Women's Action Santa Cruz reserved space at Louden Nelson for tabling and lectures. There were issues with getting the "strike group" to cooperate with Women's Action Santa Cruz and honor their reservations at Louden, they had reserved the main community room until 3:30 PM and the entire grass area until 3:30 PM. Food Not Bombs was supposed to leave by 11 am per agreement but did not leave until 1:00. Another issue was the strike people were giving misinformation to people about the Women's Day event Women's Action/Solidarity had at the center, saying it was the same event as the strike group. It was not. UCSC students joined the strike group and all marched to Clock Tower where the blocking traffic fiasco started. Chris Khron rented two rooms at Louden Nelson during the same time but I am not sure why. I find it interesting that drama follows Chris Khron everywhere.
Chris Krohn is the herbal essence of who's behind all the drama here. He thinks he's being suave, but he's head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of creating drama.
to be fair, santa cruz shouldn't lose its funding. not getting into the ethics of sanctuary cities or w/e but the supreme court ruled during obama's term that the federal government can't hold a fiscal gun to states heads and force them into compliance. In other words, the conservative battle cry of "states rights" is actually the thing here.
I doubt the law will go into effect once challenged, especially because most urban places generate the country's GDP/subsidize the heartland. it's a ridiculously poorly researched idea
But in your own comments, you use the words "shouldn't" and "doubt". Your opinion is as valid as mine I suppose, but the FACT is neither of us really know what's going to happen here, or in the next 4 years. We can claim to hide behind legal protections and/or precedent but that hasn't stopped Trump from doing whatever he wants and dealing with the fallout later. As a city and county, that's a terrible strategy to emulate. And that's exactly what we're doing here. We're doing whatever we want and worrying about the fallout later. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Ben & Stan, Trump Exec Order of today (Friday) just cut off funding for our Town-Clown City Council (TC3). This will get the not-at-risk West Side progressive white noise up to 100+ db. Let history record that Grachus called it first – here on the Dump.
I doubt we'd even get notice that we've been cut off from federal funding. It would be more like we'd be expecting it and when it didn't come as usual, and we asked about it, the federal response would be something like "Oh you want us to help YOU?", followed by the sound of a room full of laughter.
And think about all the federal funding we're seeking right now for storm related infrastructure repairs. Good luck there with our attitude. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. I thought that was obvious.
I'm hoping next week Ben jumps into the Food Not Bombs rat fiasco at the poor post office who had to put up a fence to try to abate the homeless feces and urine fiasco. Suggested keywords, = The fesces fences and FNB fiasco 🙂
You think I'd miss that? That story's like a bindle of meth to one of Keith's regulars.
It sounds so hard to debate. Isn't it better to feed people that blow them apart. So hard to debate that maybe I can get rich by convincing people I embody this principle, and if you don't give me money you are a murderer.
Some of you must appreciate Paul Simon's ability to relate the logic and feelings that surround us in life. From his song, "The Coast"
This is a lonely life
Sorrows everywhere you turn
And that's worth something
When you think about it
That's worth some money
That's worth something
That is worth some money
I swear this how this people get over on people. War is bad, give me money! Homelessness is bad, give me money. Pot is good, give me money. Speaking for myself, I don't need these enlightened souls to enlighten me with thee word revelations that will change the world…And then drive off in their Lexus and leave the cleaning up to wonderful volunteers, who don't have banners that say "Food not Feces" or some other simple minded drone, then stick the palms out and wait for the money.

Q: Using all cases of union type F# This is very linked to the question here How to enumerate an enum/type in F#. I define a union type and then I need to use all the possible cases of the type in static method. For example:
type Interests =
| Music
| Books
| Movies
    with
        static member GetValue( this) = match this with
                                         | Music  -> 0
                                         | Books -> 5
                                         | Movies -> 0
        static member GetSeqValues() = allCases|>Seq.map(GetValue)

How do I get allCases ?
Thanks a lot

A: You can use FSharpType.GetUnionCases() from Microsoft.FSharp.Reflection to get all cases of a discriminated union. In your example, it would look like this:
type Interests =
   | Music
   | Books
   | Movies
   static member GetValue(this) = (...)
   static member GetSeqValues() =
     // Get all cases of the union
     let cases = FSharpType.GetUnionCases(typeof<Interests>)
     [ for c in cases do
         // Create value for each case (assuming it has no arguments)
         let interest = FSharpValue.MakeUnion(c, [| |]) :?> Interests
         yield GetValue(interest) ]

However, the problem is that you may not be able to create instances to pass to your GetValue member, because some cases may have arguments (when calling MakeUnion you have to pass it an array of arguments and I used just an empty array). For example if you had:
type Sample =
 | A of int
 | B of bool

A: I made an expansion of Tomas' work that handles making any type of FSharp Union (handles properties of the union case)
as long as you provide it the logic for what to do with non-union children.

If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm a planner. I have spreadsheets to help me organize every aspect of my life. I set goals and deadlines for myself, especially when it comes to my writing. But sometimes those plans fall apart and once they do it's really hard for me to get back on track.
It's been over three weeks since I last worked on the rewrites for Family Binds. I first fell off the writing wagon before a family vacation. Usually, I start packing and shopping for vacation a good month before we leave. There's a lot a little things I need to remember when packing for two small children, especially since this trip was a cruise and we wouldn't be able to run to a store if I forgot anything. Unfortunately that wasn't the case this time. So the week before we left I was running around like crazy trying to get everything ready. By the time my kids were in bed and my usual writing time rolled around I was spent. So it was the couch and a Downton Abby marathon with my hubby to ease my pre-trip stress.
Then of course there was the trip, a week long cruise on the Disney Fantasy. (I am thinking about adding a section to this page where I can write about my other passion, Disney, if anyone would be interested in that.) I had grand plans of waking up before the rest of my family and writing on our balcony while watching the waves or writing away while the kids happily napped before dinner. I should have known better, this wasn't my first vacation with my kids. There was one night where I did manage to get my writing stuff out. It was my husband's turn to go out so I was in the cabin while the kids slept. Literally 5 minutes after my tablet booted up the baby started to cry. But that was fine. It was a family vacation after all, the writing could wait. So another week went by without a word written.
When we got home I figured it would be easy to jump right back into writing. Of course I was wrong. First I was spent from having traveled with two small children and then came a completely awful, stress filled week at work filled with emergency calls and saying goodbye to a lot of friends and ended with my work load doubling for the foreseeable future. And so a third week passed with no writing.
I'm really hoping to get back to writing full force this week. I've been saying Family Binds will be released sometime in May, which if I'm being honest I'm not sure is going to happen anymore. I'm working on accepting the missed deadline, but it's hard for me. I know at the end of the day the most important thing is to make the book as best as possible before I send it off into the world, even if that takes longer than planned.
Glad I could help. And especially glad I got you a free lunch. Hope it was delicous!


The popularity of Internet combined with several apps on smart phones, tablets and the PCs, the world is experiencing boom in a new segment which is eBooks. It really does not matter if you are writing fiction or nonfiction; you are an experienced author or a first time writer there is a room for everyone and there is an audience for every kind of eBook.
When looking into residual income, one needs to look for the case studies. Since these provide real lessons and working examples you will get a better idea of what is successful and what is not. If you can focus on these things, then it will keep you from venturing down the yellow brick road or searching for the end of the rainbow to find what what your method for obtaining residual income could be. Which is your main goal in life. Here are 5 areas where you can do part time and make residual income.
When I was first introduced to this type of residual income it seems to me complicated. Now I have 2 blogs out there one in my native language about my passion music and this one in English to learn and share more value about success, income, and wealth. In case you do not have a blog yet, here is a blogging platform I use: Kalatu. They have all to start your first blog, step by step courses, number or ready for you templates, even 21 day blogging challenge to establish the blogging routine.

There's a wide variety of clubs at French American + International–over 40 at last count. And the people responsible for them are the students themselves. Students create the club, write the mission, develop goals, promote membership, lead meetings, and organize events.
The result is a fun, highly-active club scene with opportunities like our student-run radio station serving up news and music; activism clubs that raise awareness and take action around pressing issues; special interest clubs where bonding occurs over watching films, making baked goods, hiking, and gardening; and scholarly-minded clubs such as math, politics, and tutoring. Clubs are also responsible for some of our strongest traditions, like Songs for Senegal, our annual fundraising event for our sister school, Ecole Natangue.
Whatever students are passionate about, there's likely a club to serve it. And if not? Then it might be time to start that next club.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)
Community Service Steering Committee
TedxFAIHS
The Student Council of International High School is a democratically elected association that represents and strengthens the student body. It strives to establish strong connections and effective means of communication in the community, while maintaining the students' best interests as a priority. The International High School student body is committed to the following ideals:
Be a supportive community that accepts diversity
Respect people's property and look out for each other
Become more aware and responsible of the environment
Be a true community that monitors and takes ownership of its actions
SAAC members kick of the year with an off-campus retreat where they learn leadership skills.
The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is comprised of student-athletes representing each of the athletic teams. The SAAC's roles are to: promote communication between athletics administration and student-athletes, generate a student-athlete voice within the campus athletics department, build a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams, organize community service efforts, and promote a positive student-athlete image on campus.
Specifically, SAAC was formed to:
Strive to develop champions for life through leadership, school involvement, academic support, and community outreach;
Establish and maintain open channels of communication with all student-athletes and administration in order to appropriately address any issues of concern relevant to student-athletes;
Develop and promote an environment that is inclusive and respectful of diverse cultures, beliefs, and lifestyles;
Organize community service and outreach projects and coordinate student-athlete involvement in those events; and
Provide student-athletes the opportunity to contribute to the betterment of the school and Jaguar community as a whole in the hope that they will use their athletic abilities to enhance the lives of others as well as themselves.
SAAC has two representatives from each of the 13 varsity teams. The Council meets the first and third Monday of each month, at noon, in the Performance Lab. At the meetings, representatives discuss matters affecting student-athlete life and welfare, learn more about NCS and Conference rules, and plan events. The Director of Athletics and Dean of Students serve as Advisor to the Council.
1st Monday: Student-Athletes & Athletic Department
3rd Monday: Student-Athlete Academic Advisor, Student-Athletes & Athletic Department
All student-athletes are welcome to attend Council meetings and should contact a representative with interest or inquiries.
At a recent MUN Conference, over 20 students received awards for their efforts.
Many of our students choose to participate in Model United Nations (MUN). These students work hard to research the countries they represent and to write position papers in preparation of the conferences they attend.
Our students, across many different social identifiers, crave spaces where they see themselves in others who identify similarly; we refer to these spaces as Affinity Groups. These spaces are about validation, personal and intra-group growth and consciousness. They are about sharing, asking questions, and finding the support to understand the various ways in which we can help ourselves and others. We currently have following student-led Affinity Groups
Asian Student Union
Gender & Sexuality Alliance
Latinx Student Union
Women of Color Collective
Developing student leadership in the areas of diversity and inclusion has taken the form of diversity councils in the Middle School and High School. Both councils lead assemblies and various initiatives throughout the year—lunch-and-learn movie screenings, the curation of diversity-themed displays in the hallways, discussion club activities and, in the High School, student-led Advisory sessions.
The Community Service Steering Committee, made up of 8 students from different grades, is responsible for encouraging and organizing student involvement in community service activities and projects. They are assisted by CAT (Community-Service Action Team) advisory representatives who make announcements in advisory, attend the monthly CAT meetings, and help with grassroots organizing and school-wide service projects
The Inkwell is International's student-run literary and arts magazine.

TEDxYouth@FAIHS seeks to inspire our school's community and the larger Bay Area community by promoting conversation about relevant concepts, paradoxes, and issues.
