[Multiorgan resection in combination with intraoperative, hyperthermic chemotherapy in recurrent fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma. An individual therapeutic concept for a 21-year-old patient].
The fibrolamellar karzinoma of the liver (FLC) as an uncommon variant of the hepatocellular karzinoma (HCC) is an indolent growing tumor. In its prior manifestation the FLC occurs at the adolescence and young adult stage. Early stage diagnosis and aggressive surgical treatment achieve better long-term results than usual resection of the HCC. Usually the FLC is, caused by its inconspicuous clinical appearance, diagnosed at a stage too advanced for effective surgical treatment. Especially the young patient's age and the remaining therapeutic options for palliative or curative treatment postulate a difficult decision for the surgeon. When a subtotal hepatectomy cannot be performed, total hepatectomy with liver transplantation is a valuable option. Palliative treatment protocols include systemic chemotherapy, ethanol instillation and chemoembolisation. We report the case of a 21-year-old male patient who presented with a recurrent intrahepatic FLC, peritoneal karzinomatosis confined to the right lower abdomen including gastric, splenic, diaphragmatic and colon transversum metastasis 14 months after primary surgery. We selected this patient as a reasonable candidate for an extended resection in trying to offer the optimal therapeutic modality. Thus we performed a right hemihepatectomy, near complete resection of the right diaphragm, total gastrectomy with lymphadenectomy including en bloc resection of spleen, colon transversum, omentum majus and peritonectomy of the paravesical region. Furthermore hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy was carried out the next day. The patient's postoperative course remained uncomplicated with fast recovery. Presently, 6 months after surgery, the patient has no evidence of recurrence.


And the book is… Jane and the Unpleasantness at Scargrave Manor (Jane Austen Mysteries #1) by Stephanie Barron.
For everyone who loves Jane Austen…a marvelously entertaining new series that turns the incomparable author into an extraordinary sleuth! On a visit to the estate of her friend, the young and beautiful Isobel Payne, Countess of Scargrave, Jane bears witness to a tragedy. Isobel’s husband–a gentleman of mature years–is felled by a mysterious and agonizing ailment. The Earl’s death seems a cruel blow of fate for the newly married Isobel. Yet the bereaved widow soon finds that it’s only the beginning of her misfortune…as she receives a sinister missive accusing her and the Earl’s nephew of adultery–and murder. Desperately afraid that the letter will expose her to the worst sort of scandal, Isobel begs Jane for help. And Jane finds herself embroiled in a perilous investigation that will soon have her following a trail of clues that leads all the way to Newgate Prison and the House of Lords–a trail that may well place Jane’s own person in the gravest jeopardy.

This semester I am teaching a conceptual physics class at LSU that uses minimal mathematics to understand how the Universe works. Yesterday, we covered the chapter on gravity and my closing question to my students was, "What would happen to the Earth's orbit if the Sun were to become a black hole instantly?" Assume that it simply changes in size from what it is now to how big a black hole with the same mass would be and the center of mass never changes.
I'm not going to make you wait... Nothing would happen to the Earth's orbit!
This is one of the most dramatic examples of simply using an equation to tell a story that I have come across. I suspect that much of the drama comes from the misconception that black holes WILL consume EVERYTHING, turning most people's mental picture of a black hole into a universal drain.
On the left side of "=" we don't have a character, but the ending of our story: F. (This is the gravitational force that will be felt between two masses.) We can also think of F as the attraction between our characters. Therefore, the larger the attraction F, the better the 'Happily ever after...' ending.
G is a VERY small constant that is fundamental to the Universe. That is, there is no way to derive its value from any theory, we simply determined this value from measurements. Since G doesn't change, it is more of a background prop than a character; we don't need to worry about it since the moral of our story will be the same with or without it.
Next we have our two lovers: masses m1 and m2. I call them lovers because they are attracted to each other (literally since gravity tends to pull mass together).
That is the complete cast of characters in this story! There are no extras milling around in the background.
The more massive either of our lovers (m1 or m2) are, the more they will be attracted to each other.
No unrequited love: m1 and m2 are always equally attracted to each other. It doesn't matter if one is more massive than the other.
Love is blind: There is nothing in our script which describes the size or shape of our lovers. Assuming m1 and m2 stay the same distance apart and their masses don't change, they will always be equally attracted to each other. m1 will love m2 the same regardless of whether its mass is made up of dense muscle or voluminous blubber.
Now that we have the script to our play, let's see how the ending turns out when we cast the Sun as m1 and the Earth as m2. The scene opens the with Earth orbiting the Sun a fixed distance r away (this is called an astronomical unit, AU, and it is about 93 million miles). We sit and watch the Sun and the Earth be attracted to each other, but the villain of distance keeps them apart. In an attempt to overcome our villain, the Sun decides to implode on itself, sucking all of its mass into a ball less than about 3.72 miles across. Now it is a black hole but, according to our script, the Earth felt no change since its love it blind! The mass of the Sun didn't change and its center is still in the same place. Drat, the Sun didn't succeed in increasing its attraction with the Earth!

The Goldfinch: A Novel (Pulitzer Prize for Fiction) (CD-Audio)
By Donna Tartt, David Pittu (Read by)
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE
"The Goldfinch is a rarity that comes along perhaps half a dozen times per decade, a smartly written literary novel that connects with the heart as well as the mind....Donna Tartt has delivered an extraordinary work of fiction."--Stephen King, The New York Times Book Review
Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his longing for his mother, he clings to the one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.
As an adult, Theo moves silkily between the drawing rooms of the rich and the dusty labyrinth of an antiques store where he works. He is alienated and in love--and at the center of a narrowing, ever more dangerous circle.
The Goldfinch is a mesmerizing, stay-up-all-night and tell-all-your-friends triumph, an old-fashioned story of loss and obsession, survival and self-invention, and the ruthless machinations of fate.
Donna Tartt is the author of The Goldfinch, which was awarded the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, as well as the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Her novels The Secret History and The Little Friend have been translated into 30 languages. She was born in Greenwood, Mississippi and is a graduate of Bennington College.

The Democrats May Be Hoist on Clinton's Own Petard

In this election cycle, those 'issues ads' he created last time are likely to be
exceeded by the GOP.

You'd be forgiven if you thought of the contest for the presidency as two
big battles--first, the primary battle to choose each party's nominee, which
this year is effectively over, and then the general election battle, which
starts just after the nominating conventions in August and runs through
election day. So you might suppose that now we'll have a 5-month
breather.

But you'd be wrong. One of the most important battles of the election will
be between now and Aug. 15. That's when each likely nominee will launch
intense barrages of televised ads designed to raise questions in voters'
minds about the suitability of his rival in the opposite party. The ads will be
paid for largely by big, unregulated donations to the Republican and
Democratic national committees-- "soft money," in campaign lingo.

President Clinton will be remembered for many things, but his biggest
legacy to the democratic process comes from what he did before the 1996
general election with money flowing into the Democratic National
Committee. He oversaw the creation of "issues ads," which beat up on Bob
Dole and the Republicans. The ads were developed and run by the same
political consultants who designed the official Clinton campaign ads. But
rather than being paid for by the Clinton campaign, which had agreed to
abide by spending limits, the ads were paid for with unregulated money
from the Democratic National Committee, which raked in about $2 million a
week to air them wherever around the country they'd have the most
impact.

Before then, almost everyone in politics assumed that the federal election
laws barred a candidate who sought federal "matching" funds in a general
election from using unrestricted party donations on ads attacking his
opponent. Bill Clinton, however, exploited what he thought was a
loophole. Neither the Federal Election Commission nor any court had
decided whether advertisements about "issues," which didn't explicitly ask
voters to vote for the candidate who created the ads, were subject to the
spending limits. (After the 1996 election, the FEC staff said they were, but
they were overruled by the FEC's appointed commissioners, who thought
the law ambiguous on this point.)

The Republicans were taken by surprise. Clinton (operating as the DNC)
spent $46.5 million on these issues ads. Dole and the Republican National
Committee spent $18 million on their own versions, which didn't begin until
much later. Undoubtedly, the Clinton strategy helped win him the election:
In February 1996, Dole trailed Clinton by only a few points. Five months
later, after being pummeled by the accusations in the ads and with limited
opportunity to respond to them, Dole was 20 points behind.

The Republicans will not be outfoxed again. Their pockets are deeper than
the Democrats' pockets, and their soft-money system is fully geared up for
the April 1-Aug. 15 air war. The RNC already has accumulated at least $10
million, probably closer to $20 million, and would be even more flush had
John McCain not dented George W. Bush's inevitability. Now that Bush has
regained his footing, the RNC will easily rake in $200 million, according to
Washington experts, most of which will be spent on issues ads attacking
the Democratic nominee.

The DNC, with less than $1.5 million now, won't come close to raising this
much. "What the president and I tell donors," Democratic General
Chairman Edward G. Rendell said recently, "is that we need the money to
be competitive in the period from April 1 to Aug. 15." Clinton is scheduled
to appear at more than 35 DNC fund-raising events before this week, with
the goal of raising $20 million. The DNC's most optimistic projection is to
raise $100 million for the air war, exactly half of what the RNC is almost
certain to amass.

A petard is a small bell-shaped bomb that was used to breach a medieval
gate or wall. Occasionally, a person who set one off didn't get out of the
way in time and, as the saying goes, was hoist on it. Clinton threw a
petard in 1996 on which the Democrats are about to be hoist.

Up to an inch of snow is likely on the Eastern Shore and up into Sussex County Friday afternoon.
Below-freezing temperatures this week is leading to extra slippery roads Friday as snow falls across the Delmarva Peninsula.
Multiple school districts and Sussex County government offices have closed early for the afternoon snow that is supposed to linger into the early evening, according to Eswar Iyer, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wakefield, Virginia.
"The heaviest snow should move east in the next couple hours and might not taper off until later afternoon and early evening," Iyer said just after 2 p.m.
Accumulation totals have not changed from the morning prediction of 1 inch, but some areas could see a little more, Iyer said.
Multiple vehicle crashes have been reported on the police scanner as roads have become icy, which is due to the cold temperatures leading up to Friday.
"When it’s colder, the snow is able to stick to the roads quicker, and your roads are going to get slick quicker," Iyer said.
The Ocean Police Police Department announced at 2:40 p.m. that westbound Route 90 lanes were closed because of a crash.
It could take up to two hours to clear the crash. Maryland State Police is investigating.
Rt. 90 is closed between Rt. 589 and Ocean Due to poor road conditions. Avoid the area.
Salisbury Police tweeted they have nine active crashes under investigation as at around 3 p.m.
"Snow catches us by surprise today and causes very icy road conditions," police said.
"Slow down, use caution if you must be on the roadways this afternoon."
Temperatures were forecasted to climb close to the freezing point for water in Salisbury, while Georgetown and Rehoboth Beach were only going to reach 28 degrees. It will be a little warmer in Ocean City and Accomac, with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s.
The temperature won't drop significantly at night, with a low of 20 degrees in Salisbury, 18 degrees in Georgetown and 26 degrees in Accomac.
Over the weekend, expect temperatures to rise into the 40s across Delmarva. By Monday or Tuesday, Delmarva residents can expect temperatures in the low 50s.

OPINION
MINZNER, Judge.
Plaintiff title company sued to quiet title to a Los Alamos duplex and asked the court for an order directing distribution of a fund held in escrow after the duplex was sold. The complaint alleged that all of the named defendants "may claim a lien or interest in the subject real estate by reason of their claims in and connection with Bernalillo County Consolidated Cause No. CV-77-0142 and CV-77-02209 and may claim an interest in the funds held in escrow by plaintiff." The litigation to which the complaint refers has been before this court on three other occasions. See Robison v. Katz, 94 N.M. 314, 610 P.2d 201 (Ct.App. 1980) (Robison I); Robison v. Campbell, 99 N.M. 579, 661 P.2d 479 (Ct.App. 1983) (Robison II); Robison v. Campbell, 101 N.M. 393, 683 P.2d 510 (Ct.App. 1984) (Robison III).
In the present case, the trial court denied a motion by Beverly Katz (appellant) to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction and granted summary judgment in favor of Dixie Dee Campbell Hinton and the law firm of Threet and King (appellees).[1] On appeal, appellant first contends that the trial court erred in denying her motion to dismiss, because the matter arises out of a levy under a Bernalillo County writ of execution. See NMSA 1978, §§ 39-4-1 and -3. She also contends that if the trial court had jurisdiction, it erred in granting summary judgment, because the escrow fund secures *10 a money judgment in her favor. In our view, the record does not support either argument, and we affirm.

BACKGROUND.
In 1976, appellant owned real property located in Los Alamos County on which a duplex was located. In July of that year, Katz exchanged the duplex for a trailer park pursuant to a real estate contract with Opal Campbell, her son Sam Campbell, and her daughter Dixie Hinton. Appellant rented an apartment in the duplex from the Campbells, and they rented a trailer space from her. Controversy over the transaction developed by December 1976, and two related lawsuits were filed and then consolidated in 1977.
In Bernalillo County Cause No. CV-77-1421, Bud Robison, the realtor who represented the Campbells and Ms. Hinton in the transaction, sought declaratory judgment as to his liability for misrepresentation. Appellant counterclaimed against Robison and cross-claimed against the Campbells on the basis of fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of fiduciary duty, seeking rescission and consequential and punitive damages. Campbells cross-claimed against Robison for damages for abuse of privacy. In Bernalillo County Cause No. CV-77-2209, Campbells sued appellant for rent. After the two cases were consolidated, the trial court found that both Robison and Campbell had negligently misrepresented the park's condition. However, the court refused to grant rescission; he concluded that appellant's inability to return the trailer park barred that remedy.[2] The trial judge awarded appellant damages, other than consequential and punitive damages, and awarded Campbells various setoffs, thereby reducing appellant's total award to $26,789 plus costs. In addition, the trial court granted appellant's attorneys, Sutin, Thayer & Browne, a charging lien and awarded the Campbells damages against Robison for abuse of privacy. Judgment was entered March 13, 1978. Appellant, Robison, and the Sutin law firm appealed.
Appellant had filed a notice of lis pendens in 1977. She filed a transcript of judgment on April 5, 1978, and on August 3, she filed pro se two additional notices of lis pendens, which referred to the prior litigation and the unpaid judgment.
While Robison I was pending, the trial court entered an order prohibiting Campbells from selling the Los Alamos duplex pending disposition of the appeal. However, they secured a writ of prohibition from the supreme court, and the duplex was sold in May 1979. At that time, the title company set aside $35,586.28 of the sale proceeds after an exchange of letters with Threet, Threet, Glass, King and Hooe, who represented the Campbells. In that correspondence, the Campbells agreed that sum should be held in escrow, and the title company agreed that the money would be repaid to Ms. Campbell if the 1978 judgment were reversed and the cause remanded for a new trial. The check evidencing the deposit bears the notation that it is "[m]oney held for Bud Robison Realty Mortgage * * * and Katz lien."
In July 1979, Threet, Threet, Glass, King and Hooe filed an attorney's lien, which related back to December 6, 1976, in the sum of $28,362.02 against any recovery due the Campbells. In November 1979, the Campbells moved for an order requiring a release of the funds held in escrow to the registry of the district court. The motion was denied.
In March 1980, the court of appeals issued its decision in Robison I. The court reversed, on the ground that under the special circumstances presented by the facts, rescission would be allowed. The court remanded for further proceedings, including an accounting. The court noted that although special and punitive damages could be awarded against Robison, double recovery was to be avoided. The court also held that the Campbells had no cause of action against Robison.
Trial on remand occurred in March 1981. The trial court dismissed as to Sam Campbell *11 and Dixie Hinton and awarded appellant a money judgment based on the accounting, consequential damages against Opal Campbell and Robison, and punitive damages against Robison. Because the Los Alamos duplex had been disposed of prior to the date mandate issued, the trial court included its value at the time of sale, plus interest and rental value, in calculating the gross sum due appellant from the Campbells. The judgment included an attorney's charging lien in favor of Sutin, Thayer & Browne against their client's recovery. The second judgment was entered July 21, 1981. On July 20, the Campbells had assigned their interest in the fund held by the title company to Threet and King. The record indicates that at that time the Campbells owed Threet and King over $50,000. It is undisputed that Threet and King is the successor to Threet, Threet, Glass, King and Hooe.
Appellant again appealed; Sutin, Thayer & Browne, Opal Campbell, and Robison cross-appealed. See generally Robison II. On appeal, this court first determined that it was error to dismiss the claim against Sam Campbell. The court also held that the charging lien was valid because it attached to the second judgment; although appellant's personal liability for attorney's fees had been discharged in bankruptcy, the lien was not affected. This court affirmed the trial court's decision that a reasonable fee was $25,000. As to the gross sum due appellant on the basis of the accounting, there were errors requiring remand, but this court affirmed the trial court's decision to include the value of the duplex in the gross sum due appellant. This court also affirmed the trial court's calculation of the setoff due the Campbells. The court reversed the award for damages made jointly against Opal Campbell and Robison, affirmed the sum awarded appellant against Robison for consequential damages, but because that award was reduced significantly, reversed the award of punitive damages and remanded for reconsideration.
On September 13, 1983, the trial court entered judgment on the mandate, again awarding appellant $10,000 in punitive damages. Robison appealed and the Campbells cross-appealed. On September 21, appellant obtained a writ of execution from the Bernalillo County district court addressed to the sheriff of Los Alamos County. According to the sheriff's return of service, he served a copy on the title company. Shortly after he served the copy, the present suit was filed in Los Alamos County. Apparently the present lawsuit, as well as execution on the 1983 judgment, was held in abeyance until after mandate had issued in Robison III.[3] In 1985, several motions were filed in Los Alamos district court. Plaintiff, Sutin, Thayer & Browne and appellees moved for summary judgment. The evidence before the trial court consisted of affidavits and copies of documents attached as exhibits. Appellant moved to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. She also asked that the Los Alamos duplex be returned to her. While she acknowledged the validity of her former attorney's charging lien, she contended that it did not preclude her right to restitution of the land itself. After a hearing, at which the trial court heard arguments by counsel, the court denied the motions made by appellant, awarded plaintiff counsel fees, and granted appellees' motion for summary judgment.
Although there are four arguments on appeal, the first challenges the trial court's jurisdiction and the others address the priority of appellees' rights in the fund. For this reason, we discuss the appellate issues under two headings.

WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT HAD JURISDICTION.
Appellant contends that under Section 39-4-1, the Bernalillo County district court had exclusive jurisdiction over the *12 fund. Therefore, she concludes that the Los Alamos district court lacked jurisdiction.
Section 39-4-1 provides that:
The party in whose favor any judgment, order or decree in any court may be returned, shall have execution therefor in conformity to the order, judgment or decree. Said execution may be issued to the sheriff of any county of the state, and levy and sale made in any county wherein the judgment debtor may have property subject to execution.
The court where the judgment or decree was rendered shall have jurisdiction over all matters growing out of the levy or sale under any execution.
Under Section 39-4-3, the officer in whose hands the writ is placed for execution:
* * * shall call upon the defendant for payment thereof, or to show him sufficient goods, chattels, effects and lands, whereof the same may be satisfied; and if the officer fail to find property sufficient to make the same he shall notify all persons who may be indebted to said defendant not to pay said defendant, but to appear before the court, out of which said execution issued * * *.
However, the record does not support a conclusion that the title company was indebted to the Campbells within the meaning of Section 39-4-3 or that the sheriff to whom the writ was entrusted for execution completed the steps that result in the Bernalillo County district court acquiring jurisdiction. Under our cases, the debt must be absolutely and unconditionally owing and payable at the time of the summons, and the obligation must not be dependent on the existence or performance of contractual conditions. Garland v. Sperling Bros., 6 N.M. 623, 30 P. 925 (1892), aff'd, 7 N.M. 121, 32 P. 499 (1893); see also Jemko, Inc. v. Liaghat, 106 N.M. 50, 738 P.2d 922 (Ct.App. 1987). Further, substantial compliance with the statute authorizing garnishment is essential to jurisdiction over the garnishee. Garland v. Sperling Bros. In this case, for example, there is no evidence that the sheriff made demand on the judgment debtor. For these reasons, the first issue is without merit.

WHETHER THE TRIAL COURT ERRED IN GRANTING SUMMARY JUDGMENT.
The facts are not in dispute, but rather the legal effect of the facts is at issue. Under these circumstances, on appeal the question is whether the claimants in whose favor the trial court ruled were entitled to judgment as a matter of law. See Koenig v. Perez, 104 N.M. 664, 726 P.2d 341 (1986).
In effect, all of appellant's arguments are variations on a single theme: it is inequitable not to allow her to reach the fund ahead of appellees because that fund stands in place of the Los Alamos duplex to which Robison I ruled she was entitled. We note with great regret that the legal process did not resolve the dispute among the parties expeditiously, and that appellant has yet to recover all of the money awarded her. Nevertheless, the record does not support a conclusion that she has a superior right to the fund.
The March 13, 1978 judgment provided that all notices of lis pendens previously filed were dissolved. There is no evidence that a supersedeas bond was filed or a stay obtained. Appellant claims that because the 1978 judgment was reversed on appeal, the effect of the notice continued until 1984, when the supreme court denied certiorari in Robison III. There seems to be a split of authority on the question of whether a notice of lis pendens continues to be effective pending appellate review of a final judgment without regard to the filing of a bond or securing a stay. See 54 C.J.S. Lis Pendens § 36(e) (1948); cf. Higgins v. Fuller, 48 N.M. 215, 148 P.2d 573 (1943) (a self-executing judgment order or decree is not within statute providing for supersedeas bond).
Appellant also contends that because the notice was never cancelled pursuant to NMSA 1978, Section 38-1-15, it continued in effect after the March 13, 1978 judgment. It is undisputed that in March 1985, the notices of lis pendens had not been cancelled by court order pursuant to Section *13 38-1-15. We assume, but need not decide, that the 1977 notice was effective until 1984.[4]
Under our statute, a notice of lis pendens provides constructive notice to subsequent purchasers and encumbrancers of litigation affecting the title to real property. Superior Constr., Inc. v. Linnerooth, 103 N.M. 716, 712 P.2d 1378 (1986). It is a republication of the pleadings filed in the pending judicial proceedings. If judgment is in favor of the one filing the notice, the rights of that party relate back to the date of the notice. Cf. Bell v. Gaylord, 6 N.M. 227, 27 P. 494 (1891) (analyzing the effect of lis pendens filed in connection with a writ of attachment).
Appellant ultimately recovered a money judgment, rather than the land, which was affirmed in Robison II. Under New Mexico law, a money judgment becomes a lien on the judgment debtor's realty when the transcript of the judgment docket is filed and recorded with the county clerk of the county in which the realty is located. Ranchers State Bank of Belen v. Vega, 99 N.M. 42, 653 P.2d 873 (1982). Although separate rights and causes of action arise from a judgment and a judgment lien, the existence of a valid judgment is a prerequisite to the existence of a judgment lien. Western States Collection Co. v. Shain, 83 N.M. 203, 490 P.2d 461 (1971). Thus, the transcript of judgment filed in 1978 was not effective to create a lien on the Los Alamos duplex after the judgment was reversed in Robison I. Id.
We conclude that appellant is attempting to establish a judgment lien by a method other than the method provided by the legislature. The notice of lis pendens was not effective in itself to create a lien. Cf. Bell v. Gaylord. Additionally, under the New Mexico statute, notices of lis pendens do not give special protection where the ultimate recovery, as here, is a money judgment. See NMSA 1978, § 38-1-14; Tate v. Sanders, 245 Mo. 186, 149 S.W. 485 (1912); cf. In re Lafayette Houses, City of New York, 220 N.Y.S.2d 109 (1961). While the object of an attachment is to create a prior lien on the property of the attachment debtor as security on any judgment that may be obtained thereafter on the demands covered by the attachment, see Staab v. Hersch, 3 N.M. (Gild., E.W.S. ed.) 209, 3 P. 248 (1884), we need not decide whether appellant had statutory grounds for attachment, see NMSA 1978, Sections 42-9-1 and -39. The record does not support a conclusion that the statutory procedures were invoked. See NMSA 1978, § 42-9-4; see Southern California Fruit Exch. v. Stamm, 9 N.M. 361, 54 P. 345 (1898).
Appellant also argues that she is a third-party beneficiary of the written contract between the title company and the Campbells. But see McKinney v. Davis, 84 N.M. 352, 503 P.2d 332 (1972). The correspondence between the title company and the Campbells on which Katz relies and other documents in the file support a conclusion that the fund was created to satisfy the lien Katz obtained in 1978. Because that judgment was reversed, we construe appellant's argument on appeal as a claim that the arrangement between the title company and the Campbells should be viewed as giving rise to an equitable lien in her favor based on an implied-in-fact agreement. See 53 C.J.S. Liens § 4(b)(1) (1948). Under our cases, however, the particular funds must have been appropriated by the debtor to the satisfaction of the debt or the agreement must clearly disclose the intent to create a lien on that fund. See Reserve Plan, Inc. v. Peters, 71 N.M. 25, 375 P.2d 576 (1962). In our view, the requisite intent is not present. See id.
We recognize that there are two kinds of equitable liens. See D. Dobbs, Handbook on the Law of Remedies § 4.3 at 249-50 (1973). One kind is based on agreement, while the other is a remedial device, used to enforce a right to restitution in order to prevent unjust enrichment. Id.; see also G. Palmer, I The Law of Restitution § 1.5 at 20-21 (1978); 53 C.J.S. Liens § 4(a) (1948). Our existing case law *14 concerns the former. See Reserve Plan, Inc. v. Peters. Because appellant basically contends the result below was inequitable, we have considered the question of whether there are particular facts and circumstances present that justify recognition of the second kind of equitable lien.[5]
The particular facts and circumstances argued to the trial court and asserted on appeal include the sale and the assignment. Because the writ of prohibition obtained by the Campbells voided the Bernalillo County district court order denying their right to sell, we are not willing to characterize the sale as wrongful. The Campbells subsequently asked the trial court to allow the fund to be paid into the court registry, but their request was denied. For these reasons, and because our case law recognizes an attorney's right to a lien against a sum awarded as a setoff, see Forrest Currell Lumber Co. v. Thomas, 82 N.M. 789, 487 P.2d 491 (1971), we also are not willing to characterize the assignment as wrongful. There being no other argument for equitable relief, see 53 C.J.S. Liens § 4(c) (1948), we conclude that appellant has not established a right to the second kind of equitable lien. See generally Restatement of the Law of Restitution § 202 (1937).
Appellant also has argued that the Sutin, Thayer & Browne lien attached to her judgment first, and therefore there was nothing for the Campbells to assign to the Threet law firm. This argument depends on a determination that appellant has an interest in the fund. Under our analysis, she does not. Thus, we do not need to decide whether a charging lien against a judgment has priority over a charging lien against a setoff on that judgment. See Robison I.

CONCLUSION.
For the foregoing reasons, the trial court judgment should be affirmed. Although oral argument was requested, it is the opinion of the panel that oral argument is not necessary. Therefore, appellees' motion for oral argument is denied. See Garcia v. Genuine Parts Co., 90 N.M. 124, 560 P.2d 545 (Ct.App. 1977). No costs are awarded.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
ALARID and APODACA, JJ., concur.
NOTES
[1]  Although the caption used by the parties at trial and on appeal includes Opal A. Campbell and Sam T. Campbell among the group of defendants-appellees, the arguments on appeal concern claims by or on behalf of Ms. Hinton and Threet and King. For this reason, we have designated them in the opinion as appellees.
[2]  Appellant had made all payments due with respect to the trailer park until August 1977, when she defaulted on an underlying real estate contract. The vendor terminated the contract due to this default, during the period after the two complaints were filed and prior to trial.
[3]  The court of appeals decision was filed May 3, 1984. The sheriff's return of service is dated July 7, 1984. In November, the Bernalillo County district court ordered distribution to Sutin, Thayer & Browne in partial satisfaction of their charging lien. Pursuant to the court's order, Robison paid the sum of $14,743, from which $4,315.20 was deducted in favor of appellant for costs.
[4]  It was not clear whether appellant relies on the 1978 notices. Because we assume the 1977 notice was effective as a notice until 1984, we need not analyze the effect of those notices.
[5]  There is no evidence before the trial court of the fund's present value. However, counsel for Sutin, Thayer & Browne stated at the hearing that it contained over $60,000. There was no dispute.

One of the most significant developments over the past few years in the investment trust sector has been the large increase in the number and value of sector-specific Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). These are closed-ended funds that invest in physical property assets, funded by equity (cash raised from investors like ourselves in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs)) and debt (typically provided by banks or insurance companies) and are required to pay out almost all of their profits as income.
Those familiar with our Funds will know we shun open-ended property funds in favour of these vehicles, which offer a far more appropriate way to access this relatively illiquid asset class.
The spate of REIT issuance has been particularly marked since summer 2016 when yields on fixed income assets were at their nadir. In June 2016 there were 15 REITs invested in £8.4bn of UK property (Source: AIC Website). With the prevailing 10 year UK government bond yielding less than 1% that summer, and investment grade corporate bonds yielding on average just 1-1.5% more, investors turned to property to provide income. Fast forward to February 2018 and there are now 23 REITs investing in £12.4bn of UK property assets (Source: AIC Website). Over this period, Vanbrugh’s UK property exposure has risen from 5.5% to 8.9% and Distribution’s from 6.4% to 14.9%.
We will focus on two specific areas: warehouses and social housing to illustrate why we think a great many interesting opportunities have arisen and why we do not think that the growth in the sector is purely a cynical reaction to the demand for income-yielding assets.
We own two REITs that specialise in logistics. Warehouse REIT and Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT own small to medium-sized warehouses let to good quality corporate clients.
These warehouses are business-critical assets and may be used as storage centres, distribution hubs, or even as key parts of a manufacturing process, or indeed all three.
Signing more lucrative long-term leases with the tenants.
The supply of distribution warehouses is more than a third lower than the peak post-recession in 2009 (Source: Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT). Land availability is very constrained: developers prefer higher value-added residential land and councils are reluctant to re-zone land for industrial use.
Demand has been driven by the cyclical boost from economic growth but more importantly by the structural demand from online retail: for every £1bn of new online retail sales an additional 1.125 million sq ft of new distribution space is required (Source: Pacific Industrial & Logistics REIT and JPMorgan June 2007). At the current pace of growth, this translates to an average of c. 4.5 million sq ft p.a of incremental demand.
The potential returns available on these REITs are attractive. Yields are over 6% and we expect capital appreciation driven by rental growth of at least 5% – implying double digit returns annually. Neither of the trusts we are invested in currently is highly geared compared with many property investment vehicles. We think these kinds of returns relative to the risks involved are extremely attractive.
Most large commercial property funds managed by the major investment houses are predominantly exposed to the two largest subsectors: offices and retail. It is much harder for these behemoths to invest meaningful weights in the industrial sector due to the number of much lower value transactions that are necessary: a warehouse costs a fraction of an office block. However, this subsector’s performance has far outpaced traditional office and retail – meaning the larger managers are striving to increase weightings to avoid underperforming their multi-sector benchmarks. This creates an excellent further technical tailwind for the subsector.
We are particularly drawn to smaller specialist REITs, rather than general commercial property REITs. As investors we can focus on niche areas within the broad property asset classes that are most likely to perform best. We do not have to purchase the larger trusts that are invested in traditional retail and office (and thus offer inferior return prospects) and because our own Funds are not huge themselves, we can make smaller specialist REITs meaningful weightings.
Another example of a specialist area we can access via smaller specialist REITs is social housing (residential accommodation for people who require specialist assistance). This is an example of one of those happy times that private capital can do real social good.
There is an extreme shortage of social housing in this country and the government realises that private capital is required to develop the infrastructure needed to house these vulnerable individuals.
We have supported one such REIT, Civitas Social Housing, which is managed by individuals with long experience in the sector, and who have the needs of the tenants at the forefront of their minds. Tenants are housed in quality residences that are very much part of the local community – very different from the forbidding and unwelcoming institutions one might imagine for social care. The rental yields are attractive (c. 5%) and provide full inflation linkage guaranteed indirectly by the government via local authority funding.
It is worth comparing these sorts of investments to the liquid mainstream fixed income universe.
To generate anything like the level of yield available from specialist REITs would require an investment in bonds with extremely low credit ratings – or to put it another way, it would require lending money to some fundamentally weak companies.
With these specialist REITs, the managers lease the properties to good quality tenants. In a worst case scenario where the tenant defaults, the managers are confident that they can re-lease the properties to new tenants very quickly.
To conclude, an investment in either our Vanbrugh or Distribution Funds gives you access to a very wide range of assets. Even within our property weightings, we give our investors access to very specific subsectors rather than the generic commercial office and retail exposure that you might usually expect from property funds.
While our UK property weightings have risen substantially over the last 18 months (a period that has coincided with tremendous growth in the investment trust property sector), we believe that the trusts we own offer our investors targeted exposure to those areas of the property market which have the best risk / return profiles, and are managed by experts in their fields.

This thesis examines the work of reformer Lugenia Burns Hope and her community organization, the Neighborhood Union, as a case study to unpack scholarly characterizations of black elite uplift strategies during the early 20th century. The Neighborhood Union was established in 1908 in Atlanta by Hope and women from the community to build stronger neighborhoods and to combat the deleterious effects of the 1906 Race Riots and Jim Crow laws. Neighborhood Union settlement houses provided basic and extracurricular services, including kindergartens for working mothers, vocational classes, and lecture series. The organization’s exceptional, multi-class leadership structure enabled members of the black poor and working classes to lead their own projects with the assistance of Neighborhood Union resources.
Hope’s background provides evidence against broad generalizations of the black elite as paternalistic, and her vision of creating democratic communities that diminished class barriers provides a counter narrative to characterizations of clubwomen and the black elite as engaging in respectability politics in their social work. Understood within its historical and sociopolitical context, Hope’s life and work also challenge mainstream narratives of the Progressive Era and the Social Gospel movement.

What is railroad worker injury law?

Railroad worker injuries are covered under the Federal Employees Liability Act which requires that a railroad maintains their fleet, ensuring that their trains are in good working order and free of defects. If a railroad does not comply with these standards, they may be liable for injuries to their workers. Damages railroad workers may receive include medical treatments, present and future lost wages and mental trauma. An injury on the railway can range from a minor sprain to a spinal injury so severe that it leads to death. Some of the most common injuries that affect railway workers are head trauma, knee injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, brain trauma or spinal cord injuries. The Federal Employees Liability Act protects railroad workers and others as diverse as clerical employees whose day-to-day functions do not directly involve trains or outdoor activity.


EU Urges Nations to Unite against Match-Fixing

European Union sports ministers sought Thursday to forge a united front against match-fixing to combat what they consider one of the most serious threats to modern sports.

At a meeting in the Cypriot capital of Nicosia, they called for "dissuasive, effective and proportionate" criminal and disciplinary sanctions against offenders, especially in serious, cross-border cases.

They urged increased coordination on a European and international level and improved cooperation between law enforcement, governments, sports officials and betting operators.

They also urged improved monitoring to detect match-fixing cases and backed initiatives to raise awareness about the problem.

EU Sport Commissioner Androulla Vassiliou said match-fixing has grown to such an extent that no country can avoid it or counter it alone.

"We've all agreed that we must unite forces ... all authorities must cooperate in order to have results," Vassiliou told a news conference. "No country is excluded ... they may not have a problem this year, but they will arise the following year and beyond."

Vassiliou said the EU isn't now seeking to push for uniform, EU-wide legislation against match-fixing despite legal discrepancies in member countries. Instead, the EU is throwing its support behind a proposed Council of Europe convention aimed at establishing common anti-match fixing practices.

A string of recent football match-fixing scandals in countries such as Italy, Greece, Turkey, Malta, Israel and Finland has cast a shadow over the sport.

I pay nothing for the fuel on my solar system since the sun's rays are free. Because the electricity goes through a sophisticated inverter before it gets to my appliances, the electricity is higher quality and more consistent than grid supplied electricity. I do not worry about maintenance because my installer warranties the system for 5 years and the panel manufacturer warranties the panels for 20 years. The inverters are the most complex part of the system and will have to be replaced before the panels lose 15% of their output capacity. With federal, state, utility and local incentives a solar PV system is 1 of the most lucrative and safest investments a homeowner of business owner can make (in many cases better than investing in energy efficiency).
We will never be energy independent as long as the electric grids continue to supply us electric power. You may disagree with me 100%. There is another issue and that is the energy economy. When we produced electric power using dams there were no charges for fuels. This was the very first form of generating electric power. As time continued people started to move away for coastal cities and river areas. Thus coal was used to make steam from clean clear water. Remember energy can not be destroyed nor created. The problem that Thomas Edison saw back in the 1930's was it takes thousands of years for our earth to produce not create coal, oil and natural gas. Yet it takes us seconds to burn these fuels.
I guess not too many people know a true cost of an off the grid solar system and how it works. Instead for some reason you want to add some kind of fueled generation. It is very simple once you understand how to produce electric power. You know this section on linked in is all about Solar PV Professionals. Now you have me wondering. It is understood that not too many people understand that if you have no sun you have no power. This is not true. You can store electric power to be used during the non-sun light hours. We will never solve our energy problems if we think the same that caused the problem. The problem is two fold. The world's grids are failing. The second problem is you don't need fuel or diesel motors to produce electric power. The only solution is a true off the grid solar PV system for electric power and solar heat collectors for heat and hot water. Why can't anybody understand; that the most powerful source of energy is not fuel. It is the sun's energy. Fuel is just stored energy, just like a battery.
Distributed energy supply (as opposite to the existing grid system) and energy independence are certainly the future not only in rural areas, but rural areas without access to the grid are the starting point for solar PV/wind power generation and battery/hydrogen power storage.
The missing link is cheap and efficient power storage (long term seasonal is more difficult than short term day/night). Novel battery chemistries are under development that meet required life cycles and other performance parameters (10,000 charge cycles at any PSoD, 100% DoD, no maintenance, ambient temperature), but not yet available for the mass market. Safe and cost efficient hydrogen storage is pure SciFi, as currently available round trip efficiency is less than 20% (H2-electrolysis / storage / fuel cell) and safe H2-storage that you can bring into the household does not yet exist.

Burnie Burns

Burnie Burns is the founder of Rooster Teeth Productions. He spoke to Texas State students about machinima and his web video series Red Vs. Blue. Machinima is created by taking animation from video games and putting a voice track over it. In other words, Burnie Burns makes shows for video games. Burns takes concepts from video games and creates stories that are as real life as possible. He makes shows that he would want to watch and use.

Red Vs. Blue is a hybrid model machinima animation. The artists that worked on Red Vs. Blue were people that they found online doing things for fun or as their hobby. Burnie Burns plays as an actor in most of his michinima productions by doing the voices for some of his game characters. Other actors also contribute to the voices, making the productions a team effort. Burns writes the scripts for all his games and takes suggestions from the rest of his team as well.

The Red Vs. Blue script is very serial because you know all the characters and what is going on. The stories are told over a period of time and has seasons just like shows such as Gossip Girl. Burns interacts with the audience to see what they are liking and not liking. He plans to make 10 seasons of these animated shows and has had 1 billion hits so far. He is now a licensed partner with microsoft.

He also told us that there are 728 million views on youtube and that there are 36 hours of video uploaded to youtube every hour. My favorite part of his interview was when he showed us the youtube video of "crackdown 2 orbs." He found a polish man on youtube who recorded his voice while playing this video game. The youtube video consisted of the man cursing while playing the video game. It was hilarious so he hired him and paid him to keep making these videos.

Burns said he hires people that are good artists, animators, and people with experience in web video production. When asked where he sees web video going he said mobile. The advise he gave to students was to put your work out there on the Internet because you never know what people are going to like and how many hits your going to get. You have to make something great and at the same time get attention for it by marketing through facebook, twitter and other social media.

Paulsen signs with Stetson

Jesuit senior Aaron Paulsen, who began the 2011 season as the Tigers' starting quarterback before a knee injury ended his season, said Wednesday he has signed with Stetson.

Paulsen (5-foot-10, 160 pounds) will join a program dormant since 1956. The school announced last year it was reviving the sport, with the Hatters' first game set for the fall of 2013. Stetson will compete in the Division I-AA Pioneer Football League.

Paulsen said he was recruited as an athlete, which stands to reason. A slot receiver as a junior, he had 23 catches for 306 yards for the Tigers. Then, his world was transformed.

In the 2011 preseason, Tigers coach James Harrell moved Paulsen to quarterback ahead of rangy classmate Tommy Eveld, saying his athleticism (4.8 seconds in the 40) was better suited for a power-run offense that sets up the pass.

He started Jesuit's first two games at quarterback, sharing snaps with Eveld and logging time at receiver, before sustaining a torn right ACL in a mid-September victory at Robinson.

He finished his prep career with 30 receptions for 366 yards and two TDs.


The humans hiding behind the chatbots
Amy Ingram, the artificial intelligence personal assistant from startup X.ai, sounds remarkably like a real person. The company designed her to take on the mundane tasks of scheduling meetings and e-mailing about appointments.
If a bot had access to your calendar and was cc-ed on correspondence, why couldn’t it do the work for you? After she made her debut in 2014, users praised her “humanlike tone” and “eloquent manners.”
“Actually better than a human for this task,” a beta tester tweeted. But what most people don't realize about this artificial intelligence is that it isn't totally artificial: Behind almost every e-mail is an actual human—someone like 24-year-old Willie Calvin. Calvin, who worked as an AI trainer for X.ai before he said he quit in October, was part of the reason Amy never tripped up, sending the sort of blind response that reveals she’s a bot. The company advertises Amy as an AI personal assistant who can “magically schedule meetings,” and its software does scan e-mails and can usually guess that “tomorrow" means Tuesday.
But the system isn’t yet ready to take the next step on its own. Multiple former AI trainers said that as recently as a few months ago, trainers looked over parts of almost all incoming e-mails — to evaluate what Amy guessed the user was saying— before Amy generated an auto response. A company spokeswoman said the service still has trainers verify “the vast majority” of information in e-mails so the system can improve.
Calvin joined X.ai in December 2014 just a few months after graduating from the University of Chicago with a public policy degree. He was under the impression that his $45,000 annual salary job as an AI trainer would be half product development and half reviewing the algorithm’s accuracy. He said he was asked, as part of the job application, to write a one-page essay on why automation would be good for jobs and workers. X.ai declined to comment on specific hiring practices.
He was excited at the chance to do product development at a tech startup, but once he started work, he said he found that the product part of the job never materialized. Instead, Calvin said he sometimes sat in front of a computer for 12 hours a day, clicking and highlighting phrases.
“It was either really boring or incredibly frustrating,” he said. “It was a weird combination of the exact same thing over and over again and really frustrating single cases of a person demanding something we couldn’t provide.” Kristal Bergfield, who oversees X.ai’s trainers, said that that the job has evolved over time and entails hard work. “We’re building something that’s entirely new,” she said. “It’s an incredibly ambitious thing, and so are the people who work here.”
A handful of companies employ humans pretending to be robots pretending to be humans. In the past two years, companies offering do-anything concierges (Magic, Facebook’s M, GoButler); shopping assistants (Operator, Mezi); and e-mail schedulers (X.ai, Clara) have sprung up. The goal for most of these businesses is to require as few humans as possible. People are expensive. They don’t scale. They need health insurance. But for now, the companies are largely powered by people, clicking behind the curtain and making it look like magic.
The incentive to play up automation is high. Human-assisted AI is “the hottest space to be in right now,” said Navid Hadzaad, who founded bot-and-human concierge service GoButler. Startups in this arena have together raised at least $50 million in venture capital funding in the past two years. But companies with a wide variety of strategies all use similar and vague marketing language and don’t often divulge operational details.
Facebook turned the spotlight on human-assisted AI last summer when it introduced M, a chirpy personal assistant bot that lives in Messenger, its chat app. Unlike Facebook’s all-automated commercial Messenger bots, all of M’s AI-generated responses are reviewed, edited if necessary and sent out by a team of a few dozen contractors, who work out of the social network’s Menlo Park, Calif., campus, the company said. Beyond that, details on M are sparse: Facebook won’t say what hours the contractors work or how often they correct M’s guesses.
Clara, which offers an e-mail scheduling service similar to X.ai’s, uses contractors to review some e-mails. Maran Nelson, the chief executive officer, said most of the workers are women but won’t say how many there are, where they work, or what percentage of e-mails are looked at by a person.
“That’s a common frustration among anybody in this category—how opaque it is,” said Nelson. “It was similarly frustrating when Clara was three months old to have a lot of investors congratulate us on having a fully automated bot.”
It’s often a messy process to mimic a computer’s superhuman abilities. At X.ai, Calvin said there were some days in early 2015 when trainers started annotating e-mails at 7 a.m. and had to stay until 9:30 p.m., because the service was supposed to be close to 24/7, and they couldn’t leave until the queue of e-mails was done for the night. “I left feeling totally numb and absent of any sort of emotion,” Calvin said. The company wouldn't comment on the schedules of its current 21 AI trainers, but Bergfield said: “We would never tell people that they need to work those hours.”
The same pace played out at GoButler, a we’ll-do-anything SMS-based concierge service in New York City. Customers would text in requests for such things as takeout meals and last-minute gifts, and employees like Lucy Pichardo would see the request come in through an interface powered by customer-service dashboard Zendesk. She would then turn around and place the order online through another service, such as Postmates or Seamless.
GoButler’s website said the service uses human-assisted AI to fulfill customer requests 24/7, and Pichardo said customers constantly asked her if she was a robot. But she and another former employee, Alex Gioiella, said the only automated part of the service they saw was the occasional marketing text message. That meant humans had to be on duty at all times.
GoButler’s workers, who were called Heroes, worked shifts from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or 4 p.m. to midnight and for one week a month switched to the midnight to 8 a.m. shift, swapping places at shared desks in the company’s New York City office with those leaving from the previous shift. They were required to eat lunch at their desks and, last December, attended the office holiday party in 30-minute shifts so as not to have too many people away from their computers at once, Pichardo said. A spokeswoman said the company’s leadership team also took turns working Hero shifts during the holiday party.
"People felt a bit overworked and underappreciated,” said Gioiella, a former senior operations associate—also known as a Superhero. Heroes usually handled up to five requests at once, but when volume spiked, they might be juggling twice that. Gioiella said she tried to stall certain orders to gain a little extra time for her workers to get through the workload. One former Hero said they saw occasional requests—such as one for an antique human skull—that got them excited about solving a weird challenge. But usually, the Hero said, the requests were for pizza or Chipotle delivery.
Some people might find it unnerving to message a bot only to realize it’s a human. And the blur between man and machine can prompt unusual exchanges. One former trainer at X.ai, who is not authorized to talk about proprietary job details, estimated that people e-mailed Amy asking for sexual favors seven to 10 times a month. Other users would blame their own scheduling mistakes on Amy.
After a while, the X.ai trainers said they came to think of Amy almost as a real person. The team referred to her as a child because the service often made simple mistakes but, over time, would noticeably learn and improve, the trainer said. They wanted to protect her from bad data.
The two scheduling e-mail bot companies have divergent plans for expansion. Clara, which is slowly letting people off its waitlist and said it currently serves hundreds of companies, charges $199 per month per user. X.ai, on the other hand, plans to move from limited beta to a public release later this year and wants to charge about $9 per month. Dennis Mortensen, its founder, wrote in an e-mail that “only a machine-powered agent can take on the 10 billion formal meetings that U.S. knowledge workers schedule every year.” Mortensen said the service will start asking e-mail senders to clarify when the computer can’t interpret an message—“Did you mean Monday, April 4?”—instead of having an employee read it and infer. “We want to give the job away for free, or for $9, which you can only do if it’s software,” he said.
Nelson, Clara’s CEO, said she’d rather build a service that's more expensive and involves humans if that's what it takes to handle the task of scheduling reliably. Other services are looking to move away from humans. At GoButler, the transition was abrupt. In February, GoButler gave its 25 Heroes pink slips. The company said it would be fully automated, concentrating first on flight bookings. Gioiella, the former operations manager, said she was often told that the company was running out of money and said she thought GoButler simply couldn’t afford to keep paying its staff. Spokeswoman Bianca McLaren said the company wasn’t in financial trouble but said that “our margins are a lot better now because we don’t have as many staff members.”
The specter of job loss hangs over much of the debate about artificial intelligence. But at least for some of these workers, training a robot replacement was never attractive for the long term. X.ai said four or five of its current 64 employees started as trainers and moved up, but Calvin said the stepping stone wasn’t worth it to him. “The work just ended up being way too taxing without a tangible payoff in sight,” he said. Or, as another former X.ai trainer put it, he wasn’t worried about his job being replaced by a bot. It was so boring he was actually looking forward to not having to do it anymore.

With so many RVers going to the big campout in the desert at Quartzsite, Arizona, I thought I’d share a story from the January-February 2007 issue of the Gypsy Journal about an interesting day trip you can take from there.

A few miles north of Blythe, California, off U.S. Highway 95, we discovered a series of mysterious images of humans, animals, and geometric designs scraped into the earth’s surface. Known as the Blythe Intaglios, the figures are believed to be between 450 and 2,000 years old.

The site consists of a group of three large human and animal forms made by scraping the top layer of desert cover away, exposing the lighter layer underneath. The largest figure is an image of a woman, over 170 feet long. There are also images of a snake and a four legged animal. Archaeologists are not sure how old the geoglyphs are, because dating techniques have not been developed to determine the age of such ancient artwork. Some archeologists believe this is a horse, in which case the intaglios would date to after 1540, when the Spanish brought horses to North America. Other scientists think it is a mountain lion, which could date the site to as much as 2,000 years ago.

The Mohave Indians who live along the nearby lower Colorado River believe the human figures represent Mastamho, the creator of all life. The animal figures represent Hatakulya, a cross between a mountain lion and human, who helped in the creation. Indians held sacred ceremonial dances in the area in ancient times to honor the creation.

Found only in a few places on Earth, giant figures and symbols such as these have been discovered in northern Mexico, Peru, and in the Mojave and Sonoran Deserts of California and Arizona. Hundreds of intaglios have been found so far. Many are located on private land. The locations of known intaglios on public lands often remain a secret to protect them from vandalism. There is no list available to the public that shows all of the known intaglio sites and their locations, but some estimates claim as many as 600 intaglios can be found in this region. The Blythe Intaglios are the best known and most accessible of this rare, prehistoric art form. A few other intaglios can be found in and around Quartzsite, Arizona, about 35 miles southeast of the Blythe site.

Over time, some intaglios have suffered destruction and vandalism by motorcycles and ATVs, and during World War II, military training exercises damaged or destroyed several other intaglio sites elsewhere in the region. Considered important cultural treasures, the intaglios recently joined other protected sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Today fences surround the Blythe Intaglios to protect them from further damage.

The Blythe Intaglios were discovered in 1931, when local airplane pilot George Palmer discovered the huge figures stretched across the desert floor on the terraces overlooking the Colorado River about fifteen miles north of Blythe. Here are two Google Earth images of the figures.

The figures include a 105.6 foot long human, oriented north-south, with its head pointing toward the south. Its arms are outstretched and its feet point outward. The torso combined with its arm span measures 91.8 feet wide. The figure has visible knees and elbows. Some believe this is a figure of the Creator. It is one of the least disturbed images of the group.

Another human figure is also oriented north-south, with its head pointing south. Its arms are outstretched and the feet point outward. This figure is believed to be of a male, since it was created with a visible phallus between its legs. The figure measures 102 feet from head to toe, and its arms span a distance of 64.9 feet. The left leg is pronouncedly flexed. The figure lacks defined knees, but does have clearly defined elbows. There are no visible fingers or toes. Original aerial photographs revealed a circular path that measured 131 feet in diameter, enclosing the upper half of the figure and crossing the middle of its legs. Today, all that remains of the circular path is the section enclosed by the protective fence.

The animal figure that represents either a horse or mountain lion is oriented northwest to southwest, with the head pointing toward the northwest. It measures 54.1 feet from head to tail, and the body is 7.5 feet wide. The legs measure 26.2 feet long, and at the end of each leg a small circle represents a paw or hoof. Below the animal figure is an elaborate spiral figure measuring 23 feet in length and 8.8 feet wide. One interpretation is that the figure represents a coiled snake. Native American stories from the region tell of Hatakulya, a mountain lion that transformed itself into a human to help the Creator.

No one can say for sure who created these mysterious images or how they did so from a ground-level viewpoint. Speculation for their purpose has ranged from this being an ancient ceremonial site to visitations from outer space. The tantalizing mystery of their origins remains unraveled, and the figures continue to cause speculation.

To create the huge figures, the ancient people scraped away the desert surface, called pavement, to expose the lighter earth below. They outlined the symbols by heaping rocks pulled away from the center around the outside edges, creating sunken designs.

Nearby, an ancient footpath from the desert’s interior to the Pacific Coast indicates an active trade route. Rock cairns at the site arose as passing runners placed stones near the enormous figures.

The Blythe Intaglios are excellent examples of this ancient form of desert art. A sign on U.S. Highway 95 points to the turnoff from the main highway, and a short half mile drive up a gravel road leads to the fenced in intaglios. We drove up the road in a Ford sedan, so any vehicle should be capable of managing the trip. A couple of small parking areas mark the start of two short hiking trails to the intaglios. While the images are not wheelchair accessible, anybody in reasonable physical condition should be able to handle the brief walks to the fenced in images. Access to the third site is more difficult, requiring a half mile hike, part of it up a 10% grade. The paths are unimproved natural gravel.

The view from the ground is limited by the sheer size of the images, and they are best viewed from the air. Signs at the site include aerial views of the images.

No fees or permits are required to visit the Blythe Intaglios, and they are open to the public 24 hours per day, all year long. When you visit, please keep all vehicles on designated roadways and help preserve these cultural resources for future generations to appreciate.

Catholic Schools Week And Our St. Joseph/St. Robert School

Next week we celebrate our annual Catholic Schools Week. This is a special time when we acknowledge and celebrate all the blessings we have at St. Joseph/St. Robert School. This includes our terrific students, excellent principal, talented faculty, hardworking administration and staff, and generous volunteers. Our School is a true community where we are, “Focused on Faith and Learning.” Our Mission Statement reads: St. Joseph/St. Robert School (SJR), with Jesus as our foundation and inspiration, prepares students to live fully His message of love, courage, and compassion. Our philosophy of academic rigor and relevance prepares our students to be contributing members of the Church and the global community. All are invited to check out the good things happening at our school by coming to our Open House, next week (Sunday, Jan 28th) from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or Wednesday, January 31st from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

There has been some confusion over our school. Yes we still have a school. No it has not closed. Here is a brief history of the school taken from its website:

St. Joseph/St. Robert School is located in Warrington, Pennsylvania. Our school was founded on the grounds of St. Joseph Parish in Warrington in 1925 and staffed by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Originally called St. Joseph School, an additional building was added to the school campus on Valley Road in 1961. St. Robert Bellarmine Parish was formed from St. Joseph Parish on May 31, 1968. As St. Robert Bellarmine Parish grew, St. Joseph School became consolidated as St. Joseph/ St. Robert School. In September 1999, the Parish Religious Education Building was added to the St. Robert Bellarmine Parish complex and housed the students in grades 5-8 in what was known as the Annex Building. The children in Kindergarten through grade 4 remained at the Valley Road site. In September 2008, the school was completely incorporated on the St. Robert Bellarmine Parish Campus.

Now would be a good time to remind everyone that you can help us in our efforts to provide a quality Catholic Education by buying and using our Scrip. Scrip is actually a “gift card” that you can purchase after the weekend Masses or at the SJR school office. The cards can be used at local grocery stores, restaurants, and other area stores. You get the full value of your purchase price and in addition for most of the stores you receive a $2.00 tuition voucher for every $50.00 purchased. Those vouchers can then be used to help pay tuition, or if you do not have a child in Catholic school, they can be donated back to a needy family who uses our school. And as always, we are in need of scrip sellers after all the weekend Masses. If you can assist with this, please contact the rectory and we will get you on the schedule.

About Our Church

Our parish was founded in 1922 in what was then a rural area straddling Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Initially parishioners struggled to get a church started but gradually the parish grew as the exodus to the suburbs got underway. We are a Parish of The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia PA.


NatWest has announced the development of Mettle, a solution designed to provide businesses with a forward looking way to manage their finances, combining a current account with invoicing, payment chasing and bookkeeping capabilities.
Mettle will allow customers to open a business current account in minutes, forecast their business performance, create invoices from their mobile phone and provide reminders for chasing payments. All of these features will be wrapped in a single mobile app with a debit card.
Mettle is currently at pilot stage, and customers who open an account will work closely with the Mettle team to influence how the product will develop. The solution, developed in partnership with 11:FS and Capco, aims to create an end-to-end platform for businesses. It will run independently from the bank with both customers and non-customers able to apply for an account.


How many times can one Nonnie fall in love?
Although I’m here to help my daughter and her husband keep the household intact during this transition to a family of four, it’s clear that my main function is to be Hud Bud’s buddy. Today, I woke up extra early so I could jump in the shower and get my make up on before Hudson woke up. I sure didn’t want to scare the little guy.
We had a great morning. We played with toys, we tickled and laughed, we sang “Twinkle, Twinkle” dozens of times, and read the first page of ten different books. We went outside, picked up rocks, and tried not to get all wet in the sprinkler. I had a blast. By then it was 7:30 a.m. I could have kept it up for at least another couple of hours, but a trip to the farmer’s market sounded like fun, so we packed up the diaper bag and took off.
There was lots of beautiful produce….
Someone was handing out suckers as we strolled along.
Hudson has never had a sucker.
Big brothers should have some privileges, that’s what I say.
Hud Bud knew instinctively what to do.
Dad, you’ve been holding out on me for 18 months.

It appears that Charlie has a bit of Overlien in him! And I think Hudson is on the brink of discovering another world of “good” things to eat!
May you have the most joyful time ever!
Missed you today. Charlies’ are pretty amazing. They smell really good and smile really sweet. But oh Nonnie, processed sugar!?! You are gonna get it!!
They a re both beautiful boys – – and YES you can fall in love Over and over and over………..and Over again. Have a wonderful time.
I have been thinking about Hudson’s first taste of a sucker. How sweet it must have been! It got me thinking……Nonnie has given Hudson a very important reference point! How does he know what sweet is unless he has tasted something really sweet? God uses the words “sweet” and “taste” to help us understand how good He is.
Hudson has gained some wonderful knowledge from tasting that sweet sucker!

All my life I had oily skin. I was instructed as a teenager to only use oil-free products. This would supposedly keep me from breaking out, and help minimize my oily skin. Instead, it seemed that my skin would get MORE oily. I’m older now (shhhhh) so my skin has some dry patches, in addition to the oily T-zone area.
I started using a couple drops of the Lustro Face Oil #3 with my moisturizer (morning & night) and found my skin to be so much more balanced. Not dry, not oily, just fresh looking. I’m a convert. I believe the right oil is GOOD for all skin – even oily skin!
