Bonilla Honored as "Policy Maker of the Year"
Here is something pretty neat that I wanted to share as Assemblymember Susan Bonilla was honored as the first recipient of the "Policy Maker of the Year" award from the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) for her bold defense of Cal Grants in the face of threatened state budget cuts.

Assemblymember Recognized for Courageous Stand Against Education, Cal Grant Cuts

In an awards ceremony at Saint Mary's College, Assemblymember Susan Bonilla was honored as the first recipient of the "Policy Maker of the Year" award from the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (AICCU) for her bold defense of Cal Grants in the face of threatened state budget cuts.
As chair of the state assembly's budget subcommittee on education finance, Bonilla led the charge against budget cuts proposed by Governor Jerry Brown that would have slashed an estimated $302 million from the Cal Grant program, reducing the average grant from $9,708 to $5,472. At Saint Mary's, the cuts would have cost the College more than $3 million in student aid.
Under Bonilla's leadership, the budget subcommittee voted 4-0 in March to reject Brown's proposed cuts, which were part of his proposal to trim $9.2 billion from the state's 2012-13 budget. Saying "we're drawing a line," she told the governor he would have to "find the cuts somewhere else."

She then worked with other legislators, their staff and AICCU to forge a compromise that minimized the budget cuts to Cal Grant students, including those attending California's nonprofit independent institutions, such as Saint Mary's. In the end, cuts to Cal Grants were held to 17 percent rather than the 44 percent originally requested by the governor.
At the award ceremony at the Soda Center, AICCU President Kristen Soares called Bonilla "a hero" to California education. She said the "Policy Maker of the Year" award will be given annually to an individual who has worked to assure that the contributions of California's nonprofit private sector are appreciated as part of the solution to challenges facing the state.
Saint Mary's president Brother Ronald Gallagher said, "Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla has been a unyielding champion of educational access for Cal Grant-eligible students at Saint Mary's and other independent colleges across the state. We are proud to join with the AICCU in honoring her efforts to ensure that academically qualified students with limited resources have opportunities to pursue higher education."

In accepting the award, Bonilla, a former teacher and former mayor of Concord, noted that she herself attended a private California university and relied on Cal Grants and scholarships to finance her education. She said that experience feeds her passion for defending education.
"Education is the door that opens up the world and transforms lives," she said. "If we want economic recovery and responsible citizens, we know education is the answer and the pathway." She criticized the governor for targeting Cal Grants, saying that after two years of deep cuts to state colleges and universities, shifting the cuts to students, and especially poor students, was "shocking."
Bonilla said she was honored to be recognized for her accomplishments in the Cal Grants budget fight and she praised the college presidents and education representatives on hand for the AICCU's annual Presidents Meeting , saying, "You've performed an incredible work of partnership on behalf of our neediest students." But she reminded them that "we're still in a war."
The next battle in that war will be fought at the upcoming election, and Bonilla strongly urged the AICCU members to work for the passage of Proposition 30, a tax measure on the November ballot that would raise an additional $6 billion and prevent more deep cuts to education programs in California.

An Isolated Tribe Is Emerging From Peru's Amazonian Wilderness
After years of sporadic, sometimes deadly interactions with people along the Alto Madre de Dios River, a Mashco-Piro clan has suddenly stepped up contact.
ByNadia DrakeNational Geographic
• 20 min read
SHIPETIARI, PeruThe Mashco-Piro appeared suddenly on the paths snaking through this beautiful, leafy village, armed with nearly seven-foot-long bamboo arrows sharpened to a knife edge.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Shipetiari's sub-chief, a small but intimidating woman named Rufina Rivera, hollered when she first encountered the Mashco in January.
They continued to visit stealthily. Cooking pots and machetes disappeared from the secluded clusters of raised wooden homes, tucked into the Amazon jungle about a half hour's walk from the Alto Madre de Dios River. (Read "Some Isolated Tribes in the Amazon Are Initiating Contact.")
But things would get worse. In March, one took aim at an older woman. Her skirt fluttered as the arrow just missed.
Then, in the beginning of May, when most of the community's men were across the river helping clear a path for a road, two Mashco parties slipped into the town. One headed to its center; the other to a farm, stealing piles of yucca.
As Venancio Italiano, a community elder, walked with some women and children, an arrow sliced through the air and scratched a bloody streak into the bare chest of a seven-year-old boy. The group fled, stalked from the trail's edge by the Mashco.
Nearby, Leo Perez and a friend raced to where the intruders had snatched the yucca and took some photos. As Perez squinted at the digital camera, his friend heard the arrow and yelled a warning. But it was too late. The 22-year-old slumped over, impaled, an arrow protruding from his back.
Our aim is to safeguard the rights to life, health and self-determination of indigenous peoples.
ByLorena PrietoPeruvian government official
'Uncontacted' But Not Unknown
Commonly referred to as an "uncontacted" tribe, the Mashco are among many in Peru and Brazil that appear to be emerging from seclusion. The tribe, thought to have lived in isolation for more than a century, is an enigma—but not as mysterious as some news reports suggest.
For at least four decades, Peru's estimated 600 to 800 Mashco have had some contact with settled indigenous communities in the country's southeast.

More recently, they've hailed boats on the rivers and asked for food, clothing, and tools such as machetes. People from the region say they have been offered Mashco women and babies, have stumbled upon encampments in the jungle, and have fled showers of arrows while fishing. They know that the Mashco aren't great swimmers but are adept at climbing trees, use two fruits to make booze fermented in bamboo pods, and name themselves after the flora and fauna of the forest.
Within the last year, for unknown reasons, Mashco appearances have increased in frequency and aggression, leading to Perez's death, the evacuation of two villages, and the intervention of the government.
Peru's Ministry of Culture now maintains a permanent outpost on the Alto Madre de Dios River, near Shipetiari. Every day, teams of government protection agents patrol the river, meeting with the Mashco when they appear on its rocky shores.
"Our aim is to safeguard the rights to life, health, and self-determination of indigenous peoples," says Lorena Prieto, who runs the program tasked with managing Peru's native populations. "We couldn't wait any longer."
It's a complex and rapidly evolving situation. Any early contact with an isolated tribe carries a risk of death for all involved from violence or disease, as jungle immune systems are ill-equipped to handle the flu, measles, or even the common cold.
The government's plan to make controlled contact has also ignited a storm of consternation from groups who insist the Mashco's right to isolation must be preserved. But it's hard to ignore the evidence that the Mashco have already initiated contact.
Something has shifted. These are people who used to make a huge effort to hide and to reject contact, but are now seeking it out.
ByGlenn ShepardAnthropologist, Goeldi Museum in Brazil
"Something has shifted," says anthropologist Glenn Shepard of the Goeldi Museum in Brazil, who has worked with native communities in this region. "These are people who used to make a huge effort to hide and to reject contact, but are now seeking it out."
Shared Language and Ethnicity
The people who live in Diamante, downriver from Shipetiari, have had sporadic encounters with the Mashco for many years. Here, the Alto Madre de Dios winds down from the mountains, skirting the southern border of Manu National Park. Its tributaries are rich with fish and offer a route to fertile hunting grounds—and to the palm-fronded huts and smoking fires of the jungle nomads.
The Mashco share their ethnicity and language with the Yine people of Diamante and other native communities in the area.
Santos Vargas, shown with his wife Rosa Cusichinari, brought a Mashco child to the village of Diamante in the 1970s. He later offered the child, who became known as Alberto Flores, the opportunity to return to the forest. Flores chose to stay.

"About 80 percent of what they say, we understand," says Romel Ponciano, the president of Monte Salvado, which was evacuated in December after a Mashco raid. "The things we don't understand—the words do exist, but they're words that older generations used."
When the Mashco use words such as sawnawle or pyosematanu, Ponciano, who is also a government protection agent, asks the community's elders for help. Those words—"banana" and "gutting a fish"—are paranta and pshigichkaganro in today's Yine.
At least one word remains the same, though: "Mashco." It means "wild ones" or "savages." As one might expect, the Mashco don't call themselves Mashco. They prefer the term "Nomole," which means "brothers" or "countrymen" in both modern and older Yine.
"When you call them Mashco, they get angry," says Waldir Gomez, who lives in Diamante and has met with them. Miming a hug, he adds, "When you call them Nomole, they feel better."
When they want something, and you tell them no, they threaten to shoot you. If you ask them too many questions, or ask a question repeatedly, they get upset.
ByWaldir GomezDiamante resident who has met with the Mashco
For many Diamantinos, sharing a common language and ethnicity means they consider the Mashco to be their brothers. But interactions between the groups are complex and have not always been friendly. One of the best-known encounters was in the mid-1970s, when Santos Vargas and some friends from Diamante met some Mashco near the Río Pinquen. They fired their guns into the air and the Mashco fled. But a Mashco boy stumbled and became stuck.
Alberto Flores is Mashco by birth. He was taken from the forest and brought to live in Diamante when he was a kid, and now speaks Yine, Matsigenka and Spanish.
"I was playing with my older brother near the river bank. We were climbing trees," recalls Alberto Flores, a tall, easy-going man with an infectious smile and sharp eyes. "Suddenly, many people surrounded me. My brother jumped into the water because he knew how to swim. He escaped."
Vargas and his friends kidnapped Flores and took him to Diamante. There, the boy discovered bananas and masato, the fermented cassava beer that is both food and beverage. After about eight months, Vargas offered Flores the chance to return home. By then, the difficult life of a forest nomad was no longer his preference.
"The community is better," Flores says.
Contact Picks Up
An encounter in 2010 led roughly two dozen Mashco to begin appearing regularly near Diamante, where houses flank a long, pebbled pathway running straight through town. One day, villagers say, Nicholas "Shaco" Flores met a group of Mashco while fishing along the Pinquen. Though he'd seen them in the forests for decades, this time Flores gave the Mashco machetes and told them to follow him back to his farm.
Luis Vargas scans for signs of the Mashco from the government's patrol boat. Vargas, along with a crew of government protection agents, helps ensure that interactions with the Mashco are safe for the tribe and the area's residents.
Over the next year, Shaco Flores continued to give the group whatever they asked for—mostly tools, bananas, and more bananas. Then he stopped, though no one knows exactly why. In late 2011, the Mashco targeted him. Two times, they took aim and missed. The third time, in November, an arrow pierced his heart.
"When they want something, and you tell them no, they threaten to shoot you," Gomez says. "If you ask them too many questions, or ask a question repeatedly, they get upset."
The people of Diamante could have avenged Flores' death. For about a week, heavy rains and a swollen river trapped the Mashco on the island where they'd killed Flores, making them easy targets for those with motorboats and shotguns. "We couldn't do that," says Edgar Morales, the community chief. "They are our brethren."
After a brief disappearance, the Mashco returned. Photos and videos taken over the past three years, but which have only recently gotten attention, show men and boys eagerly hauling machetes and bananas out of passing boats carrying missionaries, loggers, and tourists.
Government protection agents patrol the Alto Madre de Dios every day. In the photo on this camera, Koka carries a pile of bamboo arrows with deadly sharp tips.
"Contact has been established a lot earlier than any of us imagined," says Shepard, the anthropologist. "Those photographs show clear, direct contact that's been going on for years now. What's new is that it's not new."
A Traumatized Village
Perez's killing earlier this year did not change how Diamantinos view the Mashco.
"It's a sort of mixture of caution, because they do know that the Nomole are dangerous. But there's also the feeling of reaching out, and integrating them, and curiosity about these 'wild' Yine," says Frank Hajek, president of SePerú, a nonprofit organization that works with native communities.
But in Shipetiari, where Perez lived, most residents are ethnic Matsigenka. They don't speak the same language as the Mashco, feel no brotherly ties, and want nothing to do with them.
"And now they've landed on their doorstep, acting in a rapidly aggressive way," Hajek says. "They're at relatively high risk every day now. Their security, their food security, their income have all been severely hit."
Forced to admit Shipetiari was not safe, the community closed one of its major sources of income, its ecotourism lodge. Guides, cooks and other workers have since scrambled for cash, which they need to send their children to regional schools.
The forests in this region are dense and muddy. There are no roads except for a few paths carved by logging trucks, like the one here. That will change. A new road will eventually connect the regional capital with a major gold mining town.
Government agents patrol the community's perimeter every day, looking for broken branches and other telltale signs of visitors from the forest. Walkie-talkies are shared among the families, used for updates and alerts. If the Mashco return, the community plans to shelter in the concrete kindergarten.
Each morning, Rivera and the others listen for news from the government agents. On days when the Mashco come to the beaches near the control post downriver, Rivera says she feels safer, pointing out, "They can't walk here in one day."
Government agents have repeatedly warned the Mashco not to return to Shipetiari, but there's no guarantee they'll stay away. For now, there's a kind of uneasy truce.
"If the Mashco don't come back, we won't go look for them. If they do come back, we will defend ourselves," Italiano says. "And then go look for them."
Meeting On the River
Dozen of steps up a muddy hill between Shipetiari and Diamante, overlooking the Alto Madre de Dios, sits the government's control post. The building, which had been empty for two years, is now continually occupied by protection agents.
Inside, photos of the Mashco who visit the beaches hang on the walls, along with a hand-drawn map. There's also a 16-inch-long bamboo tip from a Mashco arrow, sharpened using the teeth of enormous rodents, and a photo of Shaco Flores. A solar panel propped on a chair outside powers the communication equipment.
From a control post on the Alto Madre de Dios, Reynaldo Laureano checks in with other posts on Amazonian rivers. Laureano accompanies government protection agents on their patrols. He speaks Yine and can talk with the Mashcos.
Until Perez was killed, about two dozen Mashco had been appearing on the nearby rocky beaches fringed with bamboo and palm. They vanished for a while, but returned, at first only in small numbers.
Since May, five Mashco have met regularly with the protection agents, who know them by name: Putgana ("spider"), an older woman who was recently attacked by an anteater; Kamotolo ("wasp"), a man in his late 20s; Yomako ("trogon," a tropical bird), a pregnant girl in her early teens; Knayi ("tangarana tree"), a boy in his mid-teens; and Koka ("woodpecker"), a nine- or ten-year-old boy who carries the group's arrows.
For months, the five would say only that the others were "far away," prompting speculation the clan suffered an epidemic or quiet retaliation. But in August, a sixth Mashco joined them, and now there are more than a dozen. They've said they're reappearing slowly because they're afraid.
Each day, Ponciano and other protection agents, joined by Reynaldo Laureano and Luis Vargas, from Diamante, motor up and down the river. They prevent boats from stopping along the riverbanks where the Mashco appear, which Laureano says they do about every three days now, asking only for bananas.
The rules of engagement are simple: Give them what they want. Don't talk for too long. Warn them to stay away from Shipetiari. Meet them in different places to avoid a trap. Don't ask pointed questions about sensitive subjects, such as Perez's death.
"The most important thing is discipline, in interaction and in schedule," says Ponciano. "You have to be careful with your words in these situations."
Gregorio Perez left Shipetiari after the Mashco killed his son Leo and moved closer to the river, where the fishing is good, bananas grow well, and Leo's soul isn't restless. He and his family will probably return when the rains come and the river floods.
To reduce the risk of triggering a disease outbreak among the Mashco, Ponciano and the others had multiple vaccinations, and a doctor is ready to treat the Mashco at the first sign of sickness. At some point, the protection agents will try to explain why—if the Mashco want to stay in contact with the outside world—it's important to be vaccinated. But so far, says Ponciano, "They're strong and healthy."
'No Recipe For Success'
What will happen next is anyone's guess. Peace in the region hinges on whether the government remains engaged and whether its agents win the trust of the Mashco.
How do we receive them without killing them culturally or physically? We are learning.
ByJosé Carlos MeirellesWorks with remote tribes in Brazil
"It will require patience, humility, and a willingness to spend years with them to gain their confidence," says José Carlos Meirelles, who has more than 40 years of experience managing first-contact situations with tribes in Brazil. "It won't work to repeatedly bring in new teams. The relationships with the indigenous people are personal, not institutional."
Maybe at some point, we'll learn why the Mashco have started shedding their forested isolation—whether it's pressure from loggers or drug traffickers infringing on their territory, a food shortage, disease, conflicts within the tribe, or simply succumbing to temptations dangled by outsiders. Perhaps we'll also know why the Mashco recently took two lives, and if they'd like to retain their nomadic ways or settle somewhere along the river.
"How do we receive them without killing them culturally or physically? We are learning," Meirelles says. "We have to accompany the process, staying with them so that their entry in our world is less painful. There is no recipe for success."

Well, folks, LouisianaVoice got bamboozled by those whip-smart folks in Terrebonne Parish and we're big enough to admit it.
That Crimson Tide tire photo we ran on Monday, one reader suggested in his comment, was photo-shopped, or at least the "University of Alabama Crimson Tide" lettering was.
A well-meaning graphic artist with no skin in the game also weighed in with the opinion that she, too, felt that the image was photo-shopped.
Stubbornly, we held our ground, insisting the photo was authentic. After all, we had other photos taken from different angles and distances that showed the same image.
Still, to at least two or our readers, we were taken in. Fooled. Duped. Outsmarted.
Well, we admit it. A third set of photos turned up late Tuesday that confirmed our worst fears. The outside of the tire, the side that faces out from the vehicle, showed no signs of any lettering.
The inside of the tire, however, had the lettering clear as day. Only part of the tire was visible but "Crimson Tide" was right there for all to see should they go to the trouble to bend over for a little to looky-look under the vehicle.
That could mean only one thing: someone photo-shopped the inside part of the tire, too.
Jeepers, why would someone do such a diabolical thing?
Quite simple, really: to make it appear that the sheriff's department, embarrassed at our photo yesterday, had flipped the tires so as to hide the Crimson Tide lettering.
And we know, of course, that Jerry Larpenter, the good sheriff of Terror-Bonne Parish would never stoop so low as to attempt to deceive the voting public—especially with the department staring down the barrel of a major budgetary deficit and the sheriff cutting employee benefits.
So, Sheriff Larpenter, please accept our apology for ever calling your fiscal responsibilities into question.
Someone must dislike you a lot to photo-shop both sides of your tires to make you look bad.
Be very careful Louisiana Voice—-libel is an old word, but still an appropriate term. But I'm wondering if it can be applied to this case, even with the best of intentions, to bring something to the public light which may not be true and published prior to the appropriate investigation. The First Amendment does not protect against libel.
To paraphrase the line from the movie, show me the libel.
Talk about fake fake news!
Now that's damn funny. And as a photoshop user every day in graphic arts, I thought the original photos looked like a genuine waste of money.
Wow, Mr.Tom why would someone do this to you?
I wonder how well the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff's Office responds to public record requests, like if someone wanted purchase documentation for tires bought recently.
By law, they have no choice they have to give it to you. Good Luck!
That's what I thought also, that it was the law for Calcasieu Parish to respond to my public records request and that it was a constitutional right but after reviewing this story done by Sound Off Louisiana you will see that certain parts of the State of Louisiana it is not a constitutional right that is recognized by the Local District Courts. They responded with an Injunctive Relief, "hometown cooking" and a cover up.
You can see under (supporting documents 3.) me explaining why I wanted the public records. It was evidence to support what contributed to major flooding in that area.
Thanks Mr.Broussard, I appreciate your help.
I have never had a problem getting any record copy from TPSO. I haven't done one in years though. Sometimes they assigned a deputy to sit next to me to watch me, like I would try to steal one of their records. Never!
Keep your chin up and keep smiling, they only completely win if you give up.
You are a better person than that!
In all honesty, if they cost the same or less than the tires on contract, it doesn't really matter other than the insult to local sports team. I'm more curious as to why a local tire dealer would have Bama tires in the first place. Seems blasphemous to me. Also, you don't seem to be picking on as high a level people as you used to. I can't imagine State government is being run that much better than before. This governor is not intentionally going out of his way to do stupid stuff, but there are likely still problems in state government more important than stupid tires and guys who work a little more overtime than seems necessary to you, but not so much that it exceed 24 hours in a day. Many cops work a lot of hours. When I was a child, if my dad had not worked the number of hours you describe, we'd have been on food stamps and welfare.

A Constructive Response to Tucson
Philip J. Cook and Jens Ludwig
The assassination attempt and mass killing that occurred in Tucson, Arizona last Saturday was reportedly committed with a Glock 9 millimeter semi-automatic handgun equipped with a high-capacity magazine that held 31 bullets. The shock of having a member of Congress shot in the head at close range has led many Americans to wonder: Was it a mistake in 2004 for Congress to sunset the assault weapons ban, which among other things banned the manufacture or import of new magazines holding more than 10 rounds? Is it a mistake for America to have such weak firearm regulations more generally?
Congress let the 10-year-old assault weapons ban expire in 2004, and the only notable gun-related legislation under President Obama has been to legalize concealed carrying in the national parks. Most of the "action" around gun regulation is in the courts, where so-called "gun rights" advocates seek to tear down existing regulations under the banner of an extreme laissez-faire interpretation of the Second Amendment. Democratic politicians have backed off of this issue or, like the Tuscon victim, Congressman Giffords, have positively endorsed gun carrying. The tragedy in Tucson seems unlikely to stimulate much sustained political support for major new gun regulations given how quickly public interest in this issue faded out after other mass shootings. A small sampling of these notorious cases helps demonstrate the point: Killeen, Texas, the Long Island Railroad, Jonesboro, Arkansas, Columbine High School, Red Lake High School, Trolley Square Mall, Northern Illinois University, Virginia Tech, Binghamton – and, last August, in Lake Havasu City, Arizona (six victims, five dead).
Still, perhaps there is now a chance for Congress, faced with this attack on one of their own, to take modest steps to reduce the ease with which psychotic individuals can shoot large numbers of victims. One such step is to reinstate the prohibition on high-capacity magazines. What good would such a ban accomplish? In the case of Tucson, news reports indicated that the shooter was subdued by private citizens while he was trying to reload his weapon. Had his magazine held fewer rounds he would have had to reload sooner than he did, and perhaps fewer people would have died as a result.
More generally, research by Christopher Koper of the Police Executive Research Forum suggests that on average, only one in every three or four shots fired by criminal assailants winds up hitting someone. Having a high-capacity magazine enables criminals to fire more rounds more quickly; all else equal, more shots fired means more victims shot. A high-capacity magazine in effect turns a semi-automatic firearm into a weapon of mass destruction. The public interest in getting such weapons off the street was recognized by Congress back in 1934, when with the support of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover the National Firearms Act, was enacted. It effectively stopped commerce in machine guns of the sort wielded to such deadly effect by John Dillinger, Pretty Boy Floyd and the employees of Murder, Inc.
Banning high-capacity magazines is a modest, incremental step that would achieve modest benefits. Research by Koper and others shows that in the majority of gun homicides in the U.S. only a few shots are fired. Only about 3 percent of all criminal homicides involve multiple killings. But as Tucson tragically reminds us, mass shootings are have a vastly disproportionate impact on our sense of well being and security.
Incidentally, it is important that this time the ban go farther than the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban. That law had a giant loophole – it grandfathered all existing large-capacity magazines, and there were millions in circulation at the time in the United States (or that could be imported from Eastern Europe). This time we would hope for a flat ban on transfer or possession, as is the case, say, in New York State.
As economists we take seriously the importance of comparing benefits to costs of any new policy, and recognize that many people wish to keep guns for legitimate uses like self defense and hunting. Fortunately the costs of banning high-capacity magazines also seem to be extremely modest. Author John Lott claims that in the vast majority of cases in which a private citizen uses a gun in self defense, the gun is only brandished and not actually fired at the criminal assailant. Banning high-capacity magazines will have negligible impact on the ability of citizens to use guns to protect home and hearth. For hunters, a ban on high-capacity magazines would be largely irrelevant.
More dramatic changes in federal gun laws might have greater impacts on public safety, but seem unlikely in the current political climate. Banning high-capacity magazines strikes us as a common-sense policy change that is likely to generate modest but important benefits to society at very small cost, and so is worth doing.

Tony Bennett's career has enjoyed three distinct phases, each of them very successful. In the early '50s, he scored a series of major hits that made him one of the most popular recording artists of the time. In the early '60s, he mounted a comeback as more of an adult-album seller. And from the mid-'80s on, he achieved renewed popularity with generations of listeners who hadn't been born when he first appeared. This, however, defines Bennett more in terms of marketing than music. He would probably say that he has remained largely constant to his goals of singing the best available songs the best way he knows how in each phase of his career. Popular taste may have caused his level of recognition to increase or decrease, but he continued to sing popular standards in a warm, husky tenor, varying his timing and phrasing with a jazz fan's sense of spontaneity to bring out the melodies and lyrics of the songs effectively. By the start of the 21st century, Bennett seemed like the last of a breed, but he remained as popular as ever.
Bennett grew up in the Astoria section of the borough of Queens in New York City under the name Anthony Dominick Benedetto. His father, a grocer, died when he was about ten after a lingering illness that had forced his mother to become a seamstress to support the family of five. By then, he was already starting to attract notice as a singer, performing beside Mayor Fiorello La Guardia at the opening of the Triborough Bridge in 1936. By his teens, Bennett had set his sights on becoming a professional singer. After briefly attending the High School of Industrial Arts (now known as the High School of Art and Design), where he gained training as a painter, he dropped out of school at 16 to earn money to help support his family, meanwhile also performing at amateur shows. Upon his 18th birthday in 1944, he was drafted into the Army, and he saw combat in Europe during World War II. Mustered out in 1946, he went back to trying to make it in music, and he attended the American Theater Wing on the GI Bill. By the end of the '40s, he had acquired a manager and was working regularly around New York. He got a break when Bob Hope saw him performing with Pearl Bailey in Greenwich Village and put him into his stage show, also suggesting a name change to Tony Bennett. In 1950, Columbia Records A&R director Mitch Miller heard his demonstration recording of "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams" and signed him to the label.
Bennett's first hit, "Because of You," topped the charts in September 1951, succeeded at number one by his cover of Hank Williams' "Cold, Cold Heart." Following another five chart entries over the next two years, he returned to number one in November 1953 with "Rags to Riches." Its follow-up, "Stranger in Paradise" from the Broadway musical Kismet, was another chart-topper, and in 1954 Bennett also reached the Top Ten with Williams' "There'll Be No Teardrops Tonight" and "Cinnamon Sinner." The rise of rock & roll in the mid-'50s made it more difficult for Bennett to score big hits, but he continued to place singles in the charts regularly through 1960, and even returned to the Top Ten with "In the Middle of an Island" in 1957. Meanwhile, he was developing a nightclub act that leaned more heavily on standards and was exploring album projects that allowed him to indulge his interest in jazz — notably 1957's The Beat of My Heart, on which he was accompanied mainly by jazz percussionists, and 1959's In Person! With Count Basie and His Orchestra. By the early '60s, although he had faded as a singles artist, he had built a successful career making personal appearances and recording albums of well-known songs in the manner of Frank Sinatra.
In 1962, Bennett introduced "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," a ballad written by two unknown songwriters, George Cory and Douglass Cross, who had pitched it to his pianist, Ralph Sharon. Released as a single, the song took time to catch on, and although it peaked only in the Top 20, it remained on one or the other of the national charts for almost nine months. It became Bennett's signature song and pushed his career to a higher level. The I Left My Heart in San Francisco album reached the Top Five and went gold, and the single won Bennett Grammy Awards for Record of the Year and Best Solo Vocal Performance, Male. Bennett's next studio album, 1963's I Wanna Be Around..., also made the Top Five, and its title track was another Top 20 hit, as was his next single, "The Good Life," also featured on the album. For the next three years, his albums consistently placed in the Top 100, along with a series of charting singles that included the Top 40 hits "Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me)" (from the Broadway musical The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd) and "If I Ruled the World" (from the Broadway musical Pickwick).
By the late '60s, Bennett's record sales had cooled off as the major record labels turned their attention to the lucrative rock market. Just as Mitch Miller had encouraged Bennett to record novelty songs over his objections in the 1950s, Clive Davis, head of Columbia parent CBS Records, encouraged him to record contemporary pop/rock material. He acquiesced on albums such as Tony Sings the Great Hits of Today!, but his sales did not improve. In 1972, he left Columbia for the Verve division of MGM Records, but by the mid-'70s he was without a label affiliation, and he decided to found his own record company, Improv, to record the way he wanted to. He made several albums for Improv, including one with jazz pianist Bill Evans (following a disc they made for Fantasy Records), but the label eventually foundered. (Concord Records released the box set The Complete Improv Recordings in 2004.)
By the late '70s, however, Bennett did not need hit records to sustain his career, and he worked regularly in concert halls around the world. By the mid-'80s, there was a growing appreciation of traditional pop music, as performers such as Linda Ronstadt recorded albums of standards. In 1986, Bennett re-signed to Columbia and released The Art of Excellence, his first album to reach the pop charts in 14 years. Now managed by his son Danny, Bennett shrewdly found ways to attract the attention of the MTV generation without changing his basic style of singing songs from the Great American Songbook while wearing a tuxedo. By the early '90s, he was as popular as he had ever been. The albums Perfectly Frank (1992, a tribute to Frank Sinatra) and Steppin' Out (1993, a tribute to Fred Astaire) went gold and won Bennett back-to-back Grammys for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance. But his comeback was sealed by 1994's MTV Unplugged, featuring guest stars Elvis Costello and k.d. lang, which went platinum and won the Grammy for Album of the Year as well as another award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.
Bennett became a Grammy perennial, also taking home Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance awards for Here's to the Ladies (1995) and On Holiday: A Tribute to Billie Holiday (1997). Bennett Sings Ellington: Hot & Cool (1999) was another Grammy winner in the retitled Best Traditional Pop Album category, as was Playin' with My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues, an album of duets released in 2001. One year later, Bennett paired off with a single duet partner, recording A Wonderful World with k.d. lang. The Art of Romance followed in 2004. Both albums won the Best Traditional Pop Album Grammy for their respective years. In August 2006, Bennett reached his 80th birthday, and his record label marked the occasion with a series of reissues and compilations. The next month brought Duets: An American Classic, another collection of pairings with other singers on re-recordings of some of Bennett's best-known songs. It reached number three in the Billboard chart, the highest placing for an album in Bennett's career; it also won him another Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Album. A second installment of Duets was released in 2011, and the Latin version (Viva Duets) followed in time for Christmas 2012. That year also saw his fourth book published, Life Is a Gift: The Zen of Bennett, and this coincided with the release of a similarly titled documentary film. In 2014, he returned to the collaborative approach to recording that had proved to be so fruitful for him in the 21st century and released Cheek to Cheek, an album of jazz standards on which he was jointly billed alongside Lady Gaga.

Secretary of State for the Arts and Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of the Popakademie Petra Olschowski
Baden-Württemberg offers immediate aid for artists
The Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts has approved an emergency aid programme for artists in Baden-Württemberg who have run into existential bottlenecks due to the corona crisis.
Cultural life has largely come to a standstill as a result of the measures taken to protect against the unchecked spread of the coronavirus - with far-reaching consequences for artists, cultural workers and associations, small and large cultural institutions, the creative industries, events and festivals. The artists of the Popakademie are also affected.
The state parliament of Baden-Württemberg has therefore decided on an emergency aid programme Corona, which is aimed at solo self-employed persons as well as small and micro-enterprises, including those in the cultural and creative industries. In order to secure their economic existence and to compensate for liquidity bottlenecks, a one-off, non-repayable grant can be granted for three months starting on 25 March.
"Especially now, when we so urgently need art and culture to cope with our personal inner, but also social crisis, cultural life has largely come to a standstill. For many of you, this also involves existential economic issues, which is why the state government has launched the emergency aid programme to support companies and the self-employed who are directly threatened by an existential crisis," says Petra Olschowski, Secretary of State for the Arts and Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of the Popakademie.

Nonprofit Newswire | Blackfeet Woman Wins Fight and Owes Big
Rick Cohen
May 22, 2010; Source: Lake Wylie Pilot | We've written before about Elouise Cobell's long struggle against the U.S. Department of Interior to pay royalties owed to Native Americans for the government's use of Indian land that it supposedly held in trust for its owners. Moneys that should have been accounted for and paid to the owners were never delivered. Now, after 14 years of leading this class action suit against four presidential administrations, the Obama Administration has agreed to settle the case for $3.4 billion.
Now Cobell only has to wait for Congressional approval of the agreement to see this case through to payments from the trust accounts. We anticipated that the question of lawyers fees would come up, with critics such as Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) calling for a lawyer's fees cap of $50 million, though Cobell and the lead attorney for the plaintiffs suggest that the proposed fee of a little less than $100 million is less than 3 percent of the total settlement.
The attorney notes that the case has had more than 3,600 court filings, 220 days of trial, 80 published court decisions, and 10 appeals. Cobell herself spent the $300,000 she received as a MacArthur Foundation genius award winner on the case and hopes to be reimbursed. Her nonprofit, the Blackfeet Reservation Development Fund, has to repay $11 million in foundation loans that it received to help finance the ongoing costs of the litigation.
We're a little stunned: foundations made PRIs toward the litigation against what capital—a percentage of the settlement? Foundations ought to write off their desires for repayment of funds from the Development Fund. Their recompense should be their stake in helping Cobell win one of the landmark civil rights cases of our era.—Rick Cohen

Foundation to Launch Vitamin K2 Education Portal

The International Science and Health Foundation will launch its educational portal VitaminK2.org as a credible and reliable source of the latest research on the properties of vitamin K2.

KRAKOW, Poland—The International Science and Health Foundation will launch its educational portal VitaminK2.org as a credible and reliable source of the latest research on the properties of vitamin K2.
"We have observed a robust body of clinical evidence highlighting the benefits of vitamin K2 for human health, particularly in the areas of bone and cardiovascular health," said Katarzyna Maresz, Ph.D., the foundation's president and one of its scientific advisors. "We have also seen alarming research showing that most Western populations are deficient in this vital nutrient. To that end, we created a website where visitors to have the opportunity to consciously counteract the negative changes in the skeletal system and the circulatory system by providing them insight on the latest science, as well as interesting articles and tips for a healthy lifestyle."
VitaminK2.org is the latest effort and a natural progression in the foundation's main objective of health education through the promotion of social and scientific projects, such as its pregnancy portal, fertility portal, paternity portal and krill/omega-3 portal.
Previous research has demonstrated the association of high dietary vitamin K2 consumption with reduction of coronary calcification in humans.

Ivanka's Bracelet Debacle—Was It Illegal?
November 18, 2016 by Emili Vesilind
The future first daughter is under fire for mixing business with politics
Ivanka Trump has used the presidential campaign—and more recently the office of the presidency—to promote products from her personal fashion lines, Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry and her Ivanka Trump fashion collection.
In July, she wore a dress from her own collection at the Republican National Convention, and the next day her brand released a tweet with a photo of her in the dress that read, "Shop Ivanka's look from her #RNC speech," with a link to buy "a similar style" at Macy's.
The Style Alert from Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry
Most recently, during a Trump family appearance on 60 Minutes Monday night, Ivanka wore a gold bangle from her fine jewelry collection. A screenshot of the future first daughter from that appearance was included in a Style Alert email from Ivanka Trump Fine Jewelry, sent to fashion editors at newspapers, magazines, and websites. A link to buy the $10,800 bracelet was included.
The company apologized for the incident, effectively acknowledging that it was inappropriate. And the Internet responded to the news divisively, as expected.
But was the marketing maneuver—which saw the owner of a private company explicitly use the office of the presidency as a platform for financial gain—legal?
But ethics violations are blurry business.
A government employee I talked to on condition of anonymity said that if his spouse were to promote a business through his office in the manner of Ivanka's 60 Minutes promotion, he would most assuredly "be charged with an ethics violation."
And certainly the president-elect will be bound to the ethical rules of his office. As the United States Office of Government Ethics has written, "The public may lose confidence in the integrity of Government if it perceives that an employee is using public office to serve a private interest, and it expects that Government information, property, and time (including the time of a subordinate) will be used to serve the public's interests."?
But if Donald Trump's children never become official government employees—and it's looking like Ivanka won't—they can legally market and promote any product they want, in any forum they choose.
Richard Painter, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School who also serves as a reporter on the Government Ethics project for the The American Law Institute, says individuals officially or unofficially on Donald Trump's transition team are not subject to the government's ethical standards and legalities.
"They can sit on boards and play an advisory role in all sorts of ways" without breaking any laws, he says.
But Trump family members who actively promote products in governmental spheres risk political condemnation and public disapproval, at the very least.
Personally, Painter thinks, "they should not have their nose under the tent with respect to the [administration] transition." And he adds that the president-elect should "urge his family members to [pick business or politics]."
Should the Trump family's businesses continue to conflate with the government, there's potential for violations down the road, says Painter, including (but not limited to) accusations of bribery.
"They have to be careful," he says. "At a certain point, it could become unacceptable."

Good news for the Global Education 2030 Steering Committee
By Silvia Montoya, Executive Director of the UNESCO Institute for Statistics, and Dankert Vedeler, Co-Chair of the Global Education 2030 Steering Committee.
The members of the Global Education 2030 Steering Committee, gathering in Paris this week, have much to discuss, and also much to celebrate – particularly on the all-important data that will track progress towards the world's education goals.
So much is happening. The SDG 4 – Education 2030 indicator framework is taking shape. Partnerships spanning countries and international organizations are putting down roots, including the Technical Co-operation Group (TCG) that is building consensus around the framework, ensuring that the monitoring of progress and the creation of baselines will begin in 2017, as noted in a recent blog.
Getting structures and tools in place
The Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML), created earlier this year, is zooming in on a new methodology to track progress on SDG indicator 4.1.1, which monitors the proportion of children and young people with at least a minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics at three points in their school trajectory: early grades, end of primary and end of lower secondary education. 4.1.1 was originally considered as a Tier III indicator because it lacked an established methodology and was not reported on by more than 50% of countries in every region. This means that it would not have been reported upon at the global level in 2017.
The good news is that the UIS, through GAML, has found a way to resolve the methodological issues and the proposal was just approved by the Inter-agency Expert Group on SDG Indicators (IAEG-SDGs). At a recent meeting, the Group decided to upgrade indicator 4.1.1 from Tier III to Tier II for the last two points of measurement (end of primary and lower secondary).
This upgrading reflects more than a technical solution – it has major political implications. For the first time, we will have a baseline in 2017 on the extent to which children and young adolescents are actually acquiring the minimum levels of skills in reading and mathematics at the end of primary and lower secondary, based on a set of harmonized criteria established by the mass of countries participating in regional and international assessments.
This breakthrough also paves the way to a possible lead indicator that would go straight to the heart of the SDG 4 agenda: to ensure that all children are in school and learning. Many stakeholders, notably the Education Commission, are urging the development of a lead indicator that would reflect access to and quality of education. It would combine indicator 4.1.1 (share of children at the end of primary with a minimum proficiency in reading and mathematics) with the completion rate for primary school-age children and/or the out-of-school rate for this age group – all of which are produced by the UIS.
The IAEG is going to consult on a list of additional indicators, including either the out-of-school children rate or the completion rates, in the global monitoring framework for SDG 4 to help ensure that no child is left behind.
We still don't know a lot about education funding
There is also growing recognition of the need to monitor the money – the funding that goes into education, from whatever source. We must know whether enough resources are being spent to reach SDG 4, and whether it is being spent equitably and effectively.
Yet despite the benefits of a clear and comprehensive picture on who is spending what, the global education community and national planners face important data gaps when it comes to education financing.
In June this year, for example, only 41 countries were able to report on a key UIS indicator - government expenditure on education as a share of GDP. As noted in a blog in September, it's almost impossible, as things stand, to work out how much money is spent on the education of each child around the world.
Many countries do not respond to global questionnaires on education finance – from the data collections undertaken by the OECD to those of the UIS. In response, the UIS is developing an overall strategy to improve the use of education finance data, working closely with the Global Partnership for Education and the World Bank Group.
The fact that many countries don't report data on their education spending does not mean that the sources of information don't exist. They just need to be properly harmonised and used, which is why the UIS is searching for them on behalf of some countries, and using existing sources of information to complement the responses. Countries can then validate the findings. End result: better coverage of key data.
Collaborating to collect quality data
The UIS will be working with the World Bank, which collects finance data through its BOOST initiative to facilitate access to budget data. The aim is to find ways to convert the BOOST data for use in the UIS questionnaire and for National Education Accounts (NEAs) which help countries gain a comprehensive perspective on their education finance and improve their policies and planning.
The new strategy will begin by looking at government spending on education as a percentage of GDP and of total government expenditure, and government spending per student.
At the same time, the UIS will be improving the quality of data on private expenditure on education – in other words, what families spend on education – by developing an approach to harmonise currently available data and providing guidelines for future data collections. With this new approach, the UIS will be able to produce indicator 4.5.4 on private spending for the first time in 2017.
Diversifying the sources of data to reach the most marginalized
Household surveys offer tremendous potential to enrich the administrative data collected by the UIS. These data can be disaggregated – or sliced and diced – by a range of key issues related to equity in education.
This disaggregation is like a magnifying glass – shedding light on the extent to which children with disabilities are in school, for example, or the effects of poverty on education participation and learning outcomes.
The UIS has created the Inter-Agency Group on Education Inequality Indicators (IAG-EII), which brings together partners across the UN to set the standards and definitions needed to leverage these sources so that they can be used for internationally comparable indicators.
As a starting point, the group is finding ways to improve the quality and coverage of key indicators, such as: completion rates, the rate of children and youth who are out of school and the rates of students who are over-age for the grade they are in.
Data to reach the ultimate goal: children in school and learning
At the same time, the hope is to expand the types of education information gathered through these surveys, which are not designed specifically for education.
By working in partnership with countries and across international organizations, we will find ways to make better use of existing information (through common definitions) for comparative purposes and modify the types of questions being asked to expand the pool of available information. This is essential to monitor equity in education.
The UIS will continue to work with countries and partners in all of these initiatives. Together, they are a means to an end, propelling us closer to our ultimate goal. That goal is not a particular indicator or chart, but a child in a classroom, learning what they need for a fulfilled and productive adult life.

If you have a PS3 and use the 'Install other OS' feature, the next update - coming this Thursday, will remove that version and apparently any OS installed thru it.
It seems Sony's pushing the firmware update to remove the threat of PS3 hacks, so the hacker warns to update until he's found a way to retain the possibility of installing another OS. See Engadget for details.
Google has released pre-release or alpha versions of their redesigned web browser for Mac and Linux. While many things won't work (Flash for instance), but I like the Windows version so much (use it at work, where Windows is the law on the desktop :( ), that I'm gonna give it a try and hopefully help report bugs.
At work I run a few wikis and while I could install/config the thing myself, I was using an old Linux version, did not have the time to tweak the OS and needed a wiki badly. I had been using an external wiki but security objected and I needed to move it. So I used the rPath mediawiki. But rPath is a bit custom if not proprietary. It's seldomly updated and perhaps even not maintained anymore.
Turns out Google Code already has the answer: Parallel Processing Shell Script. Another way is to rewrite my script and use Perl. Perl has a built-in ForkManager. so cool... Must look into Perl really soon now!

Moving to Portugal from South America
Jhoani and Luis are Venezuelans who never expected to be living in Portugal, or even Europe. Their original plan was to live in the USA or Chile, but the pandemic changed everything. The result - living in Portugal - has been one of the best decisions they've ever made together.
Before the move to Portugal
Jhoani and Luis met through a mutual friend when they were living in Chile. They have been married for three years and were living in Santiago de Chile during the pandemic. After the pandemic, life in Chile was harder economically, so the couple wanted to earn some extra money to help them set up a business.
Luckily, Luis had a US visa, so went to Atlanta to work and save some money. The plan had been that they would both live in the US. But they discovered that getting a visa for Jhoani for the USA was close to impossible, because since the pandemic, the delays for visas to the US are really long.
Researching where to move in Europe
Knowing that the US wasn't a possibility and without great options in Latin America, they started to investigate Europe. Their research led them to evaluate Croatia, Malta, Latvia, Serbia, Spain and Portugal. Spain was an obvious choice, because of the language, but for Spain, they would have had to apply as asylum seekers, or have money to enter as students.
Neither of them knew anything about Portugal. Luis speaks good English, and had found some YouTube channels, which helped him to understand more about each country. One of those channels was Expats Everywhere. They recommended Portugal. Luis' investigation continued, and having watched over 20 videos, he decided that Portugal was the best bet.
They found out there were two ways they could move - either by applying for a visa remotely, or arriving as a tourist, finding work, and then applying for temporal residence.
Despite Portugal having one of the lowest minimum wages in Europe, they decided that economically, it still made sense, and that they could learn the language pretty quickly.
Deciding where to live in Portugal
Neither Luis nor Jhoani really knew anything about what Portugal was like, and neither of them spoke Portuguese.
Luis did the research to decide which city in Portugal they would go to. Having already migrated to the capital of Chile, they knew that big capital cities tend to be more expensive than the smaller ones, but it's often easier to find a job in a large city. They researched Lisbon and Porto and could see that both were expensive places.
So Luis started to research smaller cities. He found Aveiro, Coimbra, Viana de Castelo and Braga, and could see that there were jobs and that the rent was better value. They were down to 3 cities - Aveiro, Braga and Coimbra. Jhoani decided on Braga.
How life in Portugal is different to the USA or Latin America
When they arrived in Portugal, they fell in love with it, despite never having visited before. They both love how different life is in Portugal in comparison to the US and to Chile - from a work opportunity and safety perspective.
Economically, they are doing well and they realized that you don't need a huge amount of money to enjoy the important things in life – like free time.
For Luis, Portugal is far safer than the USA. At no point in Portugal has he felt like he might be robbed, but this was a feeling he had in the USA, despite having more money in the USA. He said he was fearful in the USA, because so often he saw shooting incidents happening in shopping centers when he watched the news and he knew how many people have guns.
In comparison to the US, he has loved having free time, instead of constantly working just to pay the rent. Having worked in the USA, where a typical vacation allowance is just 10 days a year, Luis said, "What is the point of working 80 hour weeks if you never get to enjoy time with your family?" In the USA, people just don't take holidays, but in Europe, they really do take it seriously.
Work conditions in Portugal are different. They can enjoy a good amount of paid vacation time per year. Jhoani commented on how different that was from Chile, where she worked without paid vacation. In Portugal, within six months, she was able to take vacation and enjoy Christmas.
For Jhoani, the difference between life in Portugal and life in Chile is enormous. In Portugal, she also feels safer. But in addition, she has a better quality of life from a time perspective. In Chile, she would have to commute an hour to work and an hour back. In Portugal, it's 5 minutes. She says life is far less stressful. There's time for lunch. There's time to enjoy yourself at home after work.
The quality of life feels better. They have time. The standards of living are better, health, education and so on.
Life in Portugal
They both arrived in Portugal as tourists, and started searching for work. As soon as they found work, they were able to apply for permission to stay and their temporary residence card. That was a long process - over a year - but despite that, the system means they are able to work.
They found Bordr during their research, when they were trying to get documentation organized. They got their NIF numbers using the Bordr service. It took just a couple of weeks to get everything set up.
Jhoani says that when she first arrived, she was really nervous, especially because she had never spoken Portuguese or studied Portuguese before. Portuguese and Spanish have similar language roots, and so after a little time, they have been able to understand Portuguese. But speaking the language, especially for Jhoani has been hard. She says she was embarrassed and fearful of pronouncing words the wrong way at first.
Leaving Latin America has been hard, because it's so far away. Portuguese people are interested to hear why the couple want to live there. Many people from Portugal are emigrating out of Europe, or to other countries like France and Holland, where salaries tend to be higher.
I love the quality of life in Portugal. It is one of the safest countries in the world.
Jhoani loves how people are in Portugal. People say hello, they're polite. When they arrived, they were welcomed. Luis has been able to speak in English, which has helped him because many people, especially younger people speak English well. Luis agrees that Portguese people are open and welcoming. Neither of them have suffered discrimination.
Cost of living in Portugal
Right now the couple live in Braga - a city with 40 churches, which is fairly conservative and quiet overall. It's very different from Lisbon.
They have seen prices rise a little bit, but not too much. Much of the inflation is down to the conflicts happening in the world right now. It's still economically stable to live in Portugal, and accessible for two people like Jhoani and Luis who earn a minimum wage. They have enough to pay for their rent, water, electricity and shopping, and a little left, so they can go to the beach or go on vacation.
Jhoani was looking for a job in a factory when she first arrived in Portugal, which she got, but she also found a job working in a shop in a mall selling Spanish jewelry. She was working split shifts to begin with, but more difficult than that was the language. She hated not being able to communicate with anyone. And so she struggled selling, because of the language. But despite her nerves, she started to try to use the language. She listened to everyone and had a friend who taught her the basics, and pretty quickly, she was selling and chatting to people.
Next Steps in Portugal
They love Portugal because they have peace and quiet. They can live easily and work, and still have time to enjoy themselves.
They plan to move a little further out to one of the villages on the edge of the city. Still, their commute will be short and it's a little cheaper in terms of rent. Then, they hope to travel a little and see more of Europe and Portugal. They're looking forward to visiting some of Europe – France, Italy and Greece are at the top of their list!
Jhoani and Luis feel very lucky to have moved to Portugal. Here are their top tips and thoughts if you're struggling to decide if Portugal is right for you.
If you're looking for peace of mind, time to enjoy with your family, Portugal is perfect.
Portugal is very safe, so it's the ideal place to come with family.
They both stress that you do have to do your research, and be determined to get work.
Don't be afraid to try Portugal. Of course, you have to get organized, and be open to learning the language and adapting to the culture, but Portugal is worth it.

Q: Xcode 4.5(iOS 6 SDK) won't work with old projects, freezing when compiling xib files I upgrade to Mountain Lion and XCode 4.5, then when I open the old projects that work fine with XCode 4.2(iOS SDK 5) on Snow Leopard then build, it's stuck while compiling the xib files.  the xib files are created with old SDKs(XCode 3.2.5 and XCode 4.2).
if I select a xib file, instead of showing the xib editing interface, it simply freezes XCode.
Any idea how to fix this?
also I wonder if there is a way to install XCode 4.2 on Mountain Lion? my old installation is for Snow Leopard so it won't work now, but from apple website there is just a XCode 4.2 Lion/Snow leopard to download.
Thanks.

A: I figured it out. I have 3 versions of old XCode installed(3.2.1 3.2.5,4.2), delete it with
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all
then restart and now no freezing any more

Q: OpenGL GLUT Perspective I am building a scale model of buildings and landscape.  I'm using openGL and GLUT and the function gluperspective.  I know that the last two parameters of the function define the z-clipping path and can only be positive.  Well I have stuff getting rendered with a negative z value.  Well it is getting clipped which makes sense.  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to stop this from clipping my things with a negative z value?  My call to the gluperspective is below.
gluPerspective(50.0, (double)w / (double)h, 1.0, 300.0);

A: There is a difference between the zbuffer and the z value in 3d space. Imagine that you have a camera and are holding it up to your eye. The 1.0 is the camera's screen (i.e. the closest an object can get to you), and the 300.0 is the furthest the camera can see. These define the zbuffer's "range" (which sets up clipping).
Now what if you have an object behind you? Well then the z-VALUE (not z-buffer) is negative. How do you see it? Just turn around (effectively pointing the camera in a new direction. The z-buffer stays the same (i.e. objects closer than 1.0 or further than 300.0 are not visible), but the object that has the negative z-VALUE is not visible.
So with gluPerspective, you set up your perspective matrix (i.e. the camera's field ov view and range). Then to see objects behind you, you need to set up your view matrix (i.e. the camera's orientation).
Edit: So to see stuff that has a negative z-VALUE (without turning around), move your camera backwards (i.e. change your view matrix, so that it is positioned further back).


Beetlebum is a beautiful blend of British Shetland wool and unbleached Tussah silk dyed in jewel-toned greens and blues. The silk adds beautiful highlights.
Shetland wool is very special indeed. It has a crisp, silk feel, and is extremely warm and strong and elastic, and has excellent water repelling qualities, making it perfect for hats, gloves, sweaters, socks – almost anything, in fact. It's the perfect all rounder. In this fibre it is blended with Tussah silk, which adds to its natural sheen, and lends a little luxury.
The bright greens and blues of this colourway are beautifully muted by the natural grey shetland, while the silk really shows up the jewel tones, reminiscent of gorgeous green and blue shimmering beetles that flash their colours unexpectedly from the undergrowth.
