WALTER SCOTT’S
Q: What shows did Girls
star Lena Dunham relate
to when growing up?
—Melissa E., Gilbert, Ariz.
A: “I watched a ton of TV, but My So-Called Life and Felicity infl uenced me most,” says Dunham, 26, who writes, stars in, and frequently directs the acclaimed HBO series Girls (Sundays), about a group of 20-something women living in Brooklyn. “The charac-ters in those shows made me feel like they understood what it was like to be me. I’m always chasing that in my own work.”
Lena Dunham
Adam West as Batman in the late ’60s
The pop icon, 59, showcases her life in Cyndi Lauper: Still So Unusual, a new reality TV series on We (Saturdays).
What’s the most surprising thing viewers
will learn about you from your show?
Probably that I wash dishes! I wanted to bring attention to the stuff I was doing—the gigs, my Broadway musical [Kinky Boots, scheduled for the spring]—but also show that I have a life in between. I’m a rocker, so no regrets! I put it all out there. You famously sang, “Girls just want to have fun.” What brings you the most joy today? Movie nights with my husband and son. Declyn is 15, which is a new frontier for us. When you’re a teenager, you don’t really want to hang with your parents, but every once in a while, we’ll all hang out together.
You’ve sported some unique styles over the years. Do you have any favorites? I always liked that salmon-pink hair color; I still use it. And I loved the retro-glam look, but I wanted to make it my own, so I wore high heels and pedal pushers, which nobody was really wearing at the time. I’m obsessed with fashion. What’s the secret to your longevity as a performer? I don’t think it’s a secret: I never stopped. When people told me you can’t do this or that, I would just do it. I didn’t think there was another choice for me.

As President Obama solemnly swears to preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States to the
best of his ability, try to answer these 10 trivia questions
to the best of yours • By Kenneth C. Davis
Take the Oath of O� ce Quiz!
1. (b). New York City was the temporary capital of the United States when Washington took the oath on April 30, 1789.2. (c). Harrison’s speech in 1841 was more than 8,000 words long and took nearly two hours to deliver on a cold, windy day. He fell ill with pneumonia and died one month later. (The shortest Inaugural Address—just 135 words long—was
Washington’s second.)3. (a). After the assassina-tion of John F. Kennedy, Johnson was sworn in aboard Air Force One by Sarah T. Hughes, a U.S. district judge.4. (a). At Lincoln’s second inauguration, in 1865, four companies of African-American troops and lodges of African- American Masons and African-American Odd Fellows joined the
procession to the Capitol.5. (b). Marshall adminis-tered the oath nine times, from Thomas Jefferson’s fi rst inauguration, in 1801, to Andrew Jackson’s second, in 1833.6. (c). The old March 4 inaugural date had been selected when travel and communications were much slower, and the “lame duck” period for the outgoing president rarely caused problems. But the
long transition became an issue in 1932 during the Great Depression, because it meant that the next president would be unable to act until four months after his election. The 20th Amendment, fi rst proposed in March of that year, changed the date but didn’t go into effect in time for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s fi rst term. In 1937, he became the fi rst president inaugurated
under the new rule.7. (c). On Jan. 20, 1985, Reagan took the oath privately in the Entrance Hall at the White House, and later went to the Map Room to fl ip the coin on live television via satellite. (The 49ers won the toss, and the game.)8. (c). Taft was appointed chief justice in 1921—eight years after his presidency—and admin-istered the oath of offi ce
to both Coolidge (in 1925) and Hoover (in 1929).9. (b). Roosevelt used an old family Bible written in Dutch at all four of his inaugurations.10. (b). Coolidge was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace, at the Coolidge familyhomestead in rural Vermont on Aug. 3, 1923, after he was informed that President Harding had passed away.

When Barack Obama takes the oath of offi ce this week, a diverse coalition of voters can lay claim to having built his victory: The president received overwhelming support among African-Americans, single women, and people under 30. But one of the most talked about aspects of the Obama win was his pull with Latino voters, who for the fi rst time cast the decisive vote in a number of battleground states—just the latest example of the growing political, social, and cultural infl uence of America’s largest minority group. That’s why, starting with this issue and throughout 2013, PARADE
will be exploring the ways Latinos are reshaping America. We kick things off with a roundtable that includes two politicians from Texas (which Hispanic voters could turn from red to blue by 2020): San Antonio’s Democratic mayor, Julián Castro, 38, and Republican state representative Larry Gonzales, 42. They’re joined by Linda Alvarado, 61,
president and CEO of Denver’s Alvarado Construction and a co-owner of the Colorado Rockies, and Cristina Jiménez, 28, who as managing director of United We Dream, a nationwide network of youth-led immigrant rights groups, speaks on behalf of Latinos longing for such political and business opportunities. Leading the discussion (held at the Harvard Club of New York City) is Today’s Natalie Morales, who worked with Hispanic students in the Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership at Harvard to formulate questions. In revealing their own journeys and sacrifi ces, our panelists shed light on how Hispanics are striving to realize the American dream.

Latinos as participants in American democracy, because it was the fi rst time, at the presidential level, that Latinos could see there was an electoral consequence to their participation—both in terms of who got reelected and the policy direction the coun-try’s taken, particularly on immigration reform. Because literally, on November 7 [the day after the election], folks who had been against comprehensive immigration reform were changing their tune. Linda Alvarado: I don’t think there’s a question now whether we will get out the vote. We will. And it’s not all about immigration. It is about education. It is about employment. It is about opportu-nity and access. Those are American ideas, not just Hispanic ideas. In Colorado, we had fi ve [new] Hispanics elected [to the state legislature]. And guess what? They don’t all come from Hispanic districts. Morales: What does it take for a Latino today to live the American dream? Cristina Jiménez: I’ve worked with many young people who want to succeed, and they realize that because of their immigration status, they can’t. They can’t go to college. They can’t do an internship. They can’t join fellowship programs. How do you even feel motivated to fi nish school and pursue higher education when
there are so many obstacles? Larry Gonzales: There’s a certain brain drain in this country. When these undocumented students are graduating in these STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math—we want them to stay. We need that kind of brain trust.Morales: You ask any Latino parent what is the most important thing and they say education. Yet the Latino [high school] dropout rate is the worst in the country. Why?Alvarado: We need parental involve-ment. There’s a program in the Denver public schools where the teachers go to the students’ homes to meet the parents.
It is being able to sit down, to reach out. Gonzales: I’m working on something for this legislative session that would allow the public schools to pay for parents to go back [to school]. I would love to see the state pay for a 35-year-old or 40-year-old parent to go to college, because for so many kids, regardless of race, who are dropping out, Mom and Dad didn’t go, Grandma didn’t go. I fi rmly believe that if we can fi nd a way to get Mom and Dad reengaged, back in school, they will show the kids, “This is how it’s done.”Castro: On November 6 we had on the ballot an eighth-of-a-cent sales tax initiative to signifi cantly enhance full-day pre-K for 4-year-olds in our city. So San Antonio will now have the broadest offering of pre-K in Texas.Morales: Moving on to immigration: We know this will likely be one of the next political fi ghts in Washington. The president promised to make something happen in his second term, and in fact a recent poll by Politico found that 62 percent of Americans support immigra-tion reform. So is change on the horizon? Jiménez: The election results were a clear mandate for both parties—36 hours after the elections, we were seeing Republican consultants and others in the leader-ship talking about, “We must work on immigration.” If you look at the exit polls, beyond the economy,
PERCEPTION: If you are Hispanic, you speak Spanish. REALITY: Maybe. A 2012
survey from the Pew Hispanic Center found that 38 percent of U.S. Hispanics
prefer Spanish, 38 percent are bilingual, and 24 percent prefer English. However,
“use of English rises through the generations,” the researchers noted: 51 per-
cent of U.S.-born Hispanics prefer English, which helps explain why only two
of our four panelists (Alvarado and Jiménez) are fl uent in Spanish.
PERCEPTION: Most Latinos are new immigrants. REALITY: More than six out of
every 10 Hispanics in America were born here. Of our four panelists, only one
(Jiménez) was born outside the U.S.

Smokey reflects on becoming a “modern” bear, why he’ll never need a yacht,
and how a little jar of honey can go a long way.
A day fishing in
the outdoors, followed by a nap under a shady, towering
oak tree, hat over my eyes, no wildfires to worry about.
I just got a publicist, and he
tells me to make sure that my message doesn’t get lost in
today’s climate of media oversaturation. And I really
don’t like bees.
Those who really embrace the cause of
preventing wildfires –you’ll find them
clutching a “Golden Smokey Award.”
Callous disregard for
our forests and wildlands.
A friend of
mine gave me this amazing
jar of honey from Paris– I only
open it once a year on my
birthday.
Spending time in any forest or
wildland, anytime, anywhere.
Give me some grass beneath my
feet, trees above my head and
I’m in heaven.
The only
lying I do involves hibernation.
Despise is a
strong word – but when it comes to anyone who is careless
with fire, let’s just say you don’t want to see me angry–I’m
a Black Bear, not a teddy bear, remember?
The amazing
wilderness that I am so lucky to call home, followed closely
by a “special” lady bear in the Yellowstone area.
60+
years of preventing wildfires, but I’m just getting started.
I know it’s ironic–
but I love Goldilocks.
Funny story– there’s
talk of a “Smokey” movie, so I was in Cannes, taking some
meetings during the film festival–60-foot yachts, parties
everywhere, fame and fortune beckoning, and all I could
think about was getting back to the outdoors. So there you
have it.
I come off as this cuddly, sweet, fuzzy bear–but
I have sharp teeth, and big claws–not that
I would use them, but if people thought
about ending up on the wrong side of
them, maybe they’d be less careless in
the outdoors. Other than that, I guess
I could probably use a
new pair of jeans.
There’s
no one I would rather be.
But Jack Nicholson comes
close. That guy can tell some
stories.
I’d be nothing
without my hat.
I’m doing that even as we
speak. Most people think of me as
old school – but I’m catching up with the
times. Two years ago, I would have thought the
Internet was a way to catch salmon–now I’m working
on a MySpace page and a daily blog.
I always say it’s
my fur –but then again, how many bears have a motto?
Honesty. Integrity.
And a willingness to share food.
The men and women
who put their lives on the line to prevent the spread of
wildfires.
Wildfires! Boy, these
questions are too easy.

Two, use technology to make a Social Security card more difficult to [de]fraud. Then they put together a guest worker program, and it says that applicants must go through a background check and waive any right to entitlement programs, that every employer must prove they can provide private health insurance, and that every applicant’s kids get a biometric ID card. I haven’t seen a whole lot from anybody else that has that kind of detail. Alvarado: One thing that needs to be clarifi ed is, talk about border security is really about guns and drugs.

Looking Older.
5 Minute Face Lift tightens and
nourishes your skin, creating smoother looking skin and
turning back the clock.
You don’t have to keep your wrinkles.
DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift restores the appearance of older looking skin by tightening and fi rming the appearance of aged skin within 5 minutes and, thus, reducing the appearance of fi ne lines, wrinkles and sagging skin for a beautiful and more youthful complexion.
And now you can look years younger in just 90 seconds.
One of the fi rst places many people notice changes in their appearance is in the skin around the eyes. This is due to the fact that skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate, making it especially vulnerable to damage. Through its fi rming cosmetic properties, DermaSilk 90 Second Eye Lift temporarily tightens the loose skin around your delicate eye area and reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, fi ne lines and under eye puffi ness for a smoother and more youthful eye appearance.
DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift is a completely new and exciting skin care product, consumer tested to lift the skin’s appearance and render fi rmer looking skin quickly and effectively. DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift Tightening Serum results in the appearance of smoother looking skin. From the moment you put it on, you will feel your skin tightening and fi rming. Small wrinkles will look diminished and your skin will feel refreshed. Facial skin will appear smoother, fi rmer and younger.
DermaSilk works on the primary reason mature facial
skin loses its elasticity.At the age of 40, the levels of collagen and elastin in your skin begin to greatly decline. This loss is what leads to sagging, wrinkling and, unfortunately, older looking skin.

twins Julián (right) and Joaquín
Castro each hold bachelor’s
degrees from Stanford and law
degrees from Harvard and are
rising Democratic stars: Julián
is the youngest mayor of a top
50 U.S. city, and Joaquín is a
fi rst-term U.S. congressman.
Julián says: “One story I tell is
going to our middle school
orientation. At some point,
the administrator said
we should look around,
because chances were,
up to half of us wouldn’t be
there to fi nish eighth grade.
Later that day, my mother
pulled us out of that school!”
Their secret to success? Hav-
ing parents who acted “almost
like watchdogs.”

growth of the Hispanic community. Let me use a baseball analogy. People say, “Linda, you just got into baseball because Hispanics are good at baseball.” But the difference between baseball and the other issues we’re talking about is access—because the rules are the same in every baseball park across America. The bases are the same distance apart. Everybody gets three strikes and four balls. What we’re looking for in America—like in baseball—is the opportunity to try, [to fi nd] that level playing fi eld.Morales: Let’s talk about the cultural perspective. [More than] 20 coun-tries make up our culture. Are there universal ties, though, that unite us? Jiménez: It’s really the values. When I was in high school and was fi lling out my SAT application, I was asked for my Social Security number. And I said, “I don’t have one.” My college adviser said, “You can’t go to college—I’m sorry. Go back home.” And it was my mom who turned that fear in me into courage. She said, “Go back and fi ll out that form—or I’m going to the school myself and get it!” It’s those values of courage, of opportunity, of education, of family. Those are American values. Castro: When I think of what Latinos are going to mean to the United States as the population grows, it’s going to be a replenishment of exactly what made the United States a great nation: a great work ethic, faith, aspiration, community. Alvarado: What makes me feel good about this is that we are coming together in ways that really don’t distinguish whether you’re Ecuadorean or Puerto Rican or vegetarian—whatever. Before, we had the media dividing our own community, and we don’t see that today. That’s not just good for us—that’s good for the future of America.Gonzales: I agree with the mayor entirely on faith and hard work. My grandfather has a third-grade education. My grandmother [has a fi fth-grade education]. But they knew that a good education was going to be the key to the family’s success. My father went to the University of Texas at Austin. He’s an aerospace engineer and worked 43 years at NASA. All of his siblings have at least one college degree. Most have multiple degrees. That sets up our generation. My cousins and I, every-one has at least one college degree. But it was my grandfather who said, you will go to school, you will go to UT Austin. That set everybody up. Morales: What makes you most proud to be Latino, and what public fi gures do you think best represent the future of our community? Castro: My mother was involved in the Chicano movement, and so was my father. So [my brother] Joaquín and I grew up in a fairly political household, even though they were not in offi ce. I grew up hearing and reading about Cesar Chavez, so that’s one of the people I looked up to. Jiménez: I grew up here as an undocumented student, and everything around me said, No. No scholarship, no fellowship, no internship, no access to higher education. What makes me proud is the community and my family around me really pushing me, with a lot of courage and faith, to continue moving forward. Alvarado: The thing I’m most grateful for is that I’m here today not because I’m the exception to the rule but because other people opened doors for me. It’s not just about getting; it’s about giving back.

Was superstorm Sandy so bad
because of global warming?
—Robert Schreib, Toms River, N.J.
In this case several factors not directly related to climate change converged to generate the event. On Sandy’s way north, it ran into a vast high-pressure system over Canada, which prevented it from con-tinuing in that direction, as hurricanes normally do, and forced it to turn west. Then, because it traveled about 300 miles over open water before making landfall, it piled up an unusually large storm surge. An infrequent jet-stream reversal helped maintain and fuel the storm. As if all that weren’t bad enough, a full moon was occur-ring, so the moon, the earth, and the sun were in a straight line, increasing the moon’s and sun’s gravitational effects on the tides, thus lifting the high tide even higher. Add to this that the wind and water, though not quite at hurricane levels, struck an area rarely hit by storms of this magnitude—so the struc-tures were more vulnerable—and a disaster occurred. One way global warming may have contributed is that the area’s sea level is somewhat higher than it was a century ago. A bit of good luck: Tides would have been even higher if the moon had been closer to us. Instead, it was just a few days from apogee, the point in its orbit where it’s farthest away.

WALTER SCOTT’S
Q: What shows did Girls
star Lena Dunham relate
to when growing up?
—Melissa E., Gilbert, Ariz.
A: “I watched a ton of TV, but My So-Called Life and Felicity infl uenced me most,” says Dunham, 26, who writes, stars in, and frequently directs the acclaimed HBO series Girls (Sundays), about a group of 20-something women living in Brooklyn. “The charac-ters in those shows made me feel like they understood what it was like to be me. I’m always chasing that in my own work.”
Lena Dunham
Adam West as Batman in the late ’60s
The pop icon, 59, showcases her life in Cyndi Lauper: Still So Unusual, a new reality TV series on We (Saturdays).
What’s the most surprising thing viewers
will learn about you from your show?
Probably that I wash dishes! I wanted to bring attention to the stuff I was doing—the gigs, my Broadway musical [Kinky Boots, scheduled for the spring]—but also show that I have a life in between. I’m a rocker, so no regrets! I put it all out there. You famously sang, “Girls just want to have fun.” What brings you the most joy today? Movie nights with my husband and son. Declyn is 15, which is a new frontier for us. When you’re a teenager, you don’t really want to hang with your parents, but every once in a while, we’ll all hang out together.
You’ve sported some unique styles over the years. Do you have any favorites? I always liked that salmon-pink hair color; I still use it. And I loved the retro-glam look, but I wanted to make it my own, so I wore high heels and pedal pushers, which nobody was really wearing at the time. I’m obsessed with fashion. What’s the secret to your longevity as a performer? I don’t think it’s a secret: I never stopped. When people told me you can’t do this or that, I would just do it. I didn’t think there was another choice for me.

As President Obama solemnly swears to preserve,
protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States to the
best of his ability, try to answer these 10 trivia questions
to the best of yours • By Kenneth C. Davis
Take the Oath of O� ce Quiz!
1. (b). New York City was the temporary capital of the United States when Washington took the oath on April 30, 1789.2. (c). Harrison’s speech in 1841 was more than 8,000 words long and took nearly two hours to deliver on a cold, windy day. He fell ill with pneumonia and died one month later. (The shortest Inaugural Address—just 135 words long—was
Washington’s second.)3. (a). After the assassina-tion of John F. Kennedy, Johnson was sworn in aboard Air Force One by Sarah T. Hughes, a U.S. district judge.4. (a). At Lincoln’s second inauguration, in 1865, four companies of African-American troops and lodges of African- American Masons and African-American Odd Fellows joined the
procession to the Capitol.5. (b). Marshall adminis-tered the oath nine times, from Thomas Jefferson’s fi rst inauguration, in 1801, to Andrew Jackson’s second, in 1833.6. (c). The old March 4 inaugural date had been selected when travel and communications were much slower, and the “lame duck” period for the outgoing president rarely caused problems. But the
long transition became an issue in 1932 during the Great Depression, because it meant that the next president would be unable to act until four months after his election. The 20th Amendment, fi rst proposed in March of that year, changed the date but didn’t go into effect in time for Franklin D. Roosevelt’s fi rst term. In 1937, he became the fi rst president inaugurated
under the new rule.7. (c). On Jan. 20, 1985, Reagan took the oath privately in the Entrance Hall at the White House, and later went to the Map Room to fl ip the coin on live television via satellite. (The 49ers won the toss, and the game.)8. (c). Taft was appointed chief justice in 1921—eight years after his presidency—and admin-istered the oath of offi ce
to both Coolidge (in 1925) and Hoover (in 1929).9. (b). Roosevelt used an old family Bible written in Dutch at all four of his inaugurations.10. (b). Coolidge was sworn in by his father, a justice of the peace, at the Coolidge familyhomestead in rural Vermont on Aug. 3, 1923, after he was informed that President Harding had passed away.

When Barack Obama takes the oath of offi ce this week, a diverse coalition of voters can lay claim to having built his victory: The president received overwhelming support among African-Americans, single women, and people under 30. But one of the most talked about aspects of the Obama win was his pull with Latino voters, who for the fi rst time cast the decisive vote in a number of battleground states—just the latest example of the growing political, social, and cultural infl uence of America’s largest minority group. That’s why, starting with this issue and throughout 2013, PARADE
will be exploring the ways Latinos are reshaping America. We kick things off with a roundtable that includes two politicians from Texas (which Hispanic voters could turn from red to blue by 2020): San Antonio’s Democratic mayor, Julián Castro, 38, and Republican state representative Larry Gonzales, 42. They’re joined by Linda Alvarado, 61,
president and CEO of Denver’s Alvarado Construction and a co-owner of the Colorado Rockies, and Cristina Jiménez, 28, who as managing director of United We Dream, a nationwide network of youth-led immigrant rights groups, speaks on behalf of Latinos longing for such political and business opportunities. Leading the discussion (held at the Harvard Club of New York City) is Today’s Natalie Morales, who worked with Hispanic students in the Kennedy School’s Center for Public Leadership at Harvard to formulate questions. In revealing their own journeys and sacrifi ces, our panelists shed light on how Hispanics are striving to realize the American dream.

Latinos as participants in American democracy, because it was the fi rst time, at the presidential level, that Latinos could see there was an electoral consequence to their participation—both in terms of who got reelected and the policy direction the coun-try’s taken, particularly on immigration reform. Because literally, on November 7 [the day after the election], folks who had been against comprehensive immigration reform were changing their tune. Linda Alvarado: I don’t think there’s a question now whether we will get out the vote. We will. And it’s not all about immigration. It is about education. It is about employment. It is about opportu-nity and access. Those are American ideas, not just Hispanic ideas. In Colorado, we had fi ve [new] Hispanics elected [to the state legislature]. And guess what? They don’t all come from Hispanic districts. Morales: What does it take for a Latino today to live the American dream? Cristina Jiménez: I’ve worked with many young people who want to succeed, and they realize that because of their immigration status, they can’t. They can’t go to college. They can’t do an internship. They can’t join fellowship programs. How do you even feel motivated to fi nish school and pursue higher education when
there are so many obstacles? Larry Gonzales: There’s a certain brain drain in this country. When these undocumented students are graduating in these STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and math—we want them to stay. We need that kind of brain trust.Morales: You ask any Latino parent what is the most important thing and they say education. Yet the Latino [high school] dropout rate is the worst in the country. Why?Alvarado: We need parental involve-ment. There’s a program in the Denver public schools where the teachers go to the students’ homes to meet the parents.
It is being able to sit down, to reach out. Gonzales: I’m working on something for this legislative session that would allow the public schools to pay for parents to go back [to school]. I would love to see the state pay for a 35-year-old or 40-year-old parent to go to college, because for so many kids, regardless of race, who are dropping out, Mom and Dad didn’t go, Grandma didn’t go. I fi rmly believe that if we can fi nd a way to get Mom and Dad reengaged, back in school, they will show the kids, “This is how it’s done.”Castro: On November 6 we had on the ballot an eighth-of-a-cent sales tax initiative to signifi cantly enhance full-day pre-K for 4-year-olds in our city. So San Antonio will now have the broadest offering of pre-K in Texas.Morales: Moving on to immigration: We know this will likely be one of the next political fi ghts in Washington. The president promised to make something happen in his second term, and in fact a recent poll by Politico found that 62 percent of Americans support immigra-tion reform. So is change on the horizon? Jiménez: The election results were a clear mandate for both parties—36 hours after the elections, we were seeing Republican consultants and others in the leader-ship talking about, “We must work on immigration.” If you look at the exit polls, beyond the economy,
PERCEPTION: If you are Hispanic, you speak Spanish. REALITY: Maybe. A 2012
survey from the Pew Hispanic Center found that 38 percent of U.S. Hispanics
prefer Spanish, 38 percent are bilingual, and 24 percent prefer English. However,
“use of English rises through the generations,” the researchers noted: 51 per-
cent of U.S.-born Hispanics prefer English, which helps explain why only two
of our four panelists (Alvarado and Jiménez) are fl uent in Spanish.
PERCEPTION: Most Latinos are new immigrants. REALITY: More than six out of
every 10 Hispanics in America were born here. Of our four panelists, only one
(Jiménez) was born outside the U.S.
Hispanics: Perception vs. RealityStatistical insights that may surprise you

The Today show news anchor, 40, was born to a Brazilian mother and a Puerto Rican father and is fl uent in both Spanish and Portuguese.

Smokey reflects on becoming a “modern” bear, why he’ll never need a yacht,
and how a little jar of honey can go a long way.
A day fishing in
the outdoors, followed by a nap under a shady, towering
oak tree, hat over my eyes, no wildfires to worry about.
I just got a publicist, and he
tells me to make sure that my message doesn’t get lost in
today’s climate of media oversaturation. And I really
don’t like bees.
Those who really embrace the cause of
preventing wildfires –you’ll find them
clutching a “Golden Smokey Award.”
Callous disregard for
our forests and wildlands.
A friend of
mine gave me this amazing
jar of honey from Paris– I only
open it once a year on my
birthday.
Spending time in any forest or
wildland, anytime, anywhere.
Give me some grass beneath my
feet, trees above my head and
I’m in heaven.
The only
lying I do involves hibernation.
Despise is a
strong word – but when it comes to anyone who is careless
with fire, let’s just say you don’t want to see me angry–I’m
a Black Bear, not a teddy bear, remember?
The amazing
wilderness that I am so lucky to call home, followed closely
by a “special” lady bear in the Yellowstone area.
60+
years of preventing wildfires, but I’m just getting started.
I know it’s ironic–
but I love Goldilocks.
Funny story– there’s
talk of a “Smokey” movie, so I was in Cannes, taking some
meetings during the film festival–60-foot yachts, parties
everywhere, fame and fortune beckoning, and all I could
think about was getting back to the outdoors. So there you
have it.
I come off as this cuddly, sweet, fuzzy bear–but
I have sharp teeth, and big claws–not that
I would use them, but if people thought
about ending up on the wrong side of
them, maybe they’d be less careless in
the outdoors. Other than that, I guess
I could probably use a
new pair of jeans.
There’s
no one I would rather be.
But Jack Nicholson comes
close. That guy can tell some
stories.
I’d be nothing
without my hat.
I’m doing that even as we
speak. Most people think of me as
old school – but I’m catching up with the
times. Two years ago, I would have thought the
Internet was a way to catch salmon–now I’m working
on a MySpace page and a daily blog.
I always say it’s
my fur –but then again, how many bears have a motto?
Honesty. Integrity.
And a willingness to share food.
The men and women
who put their lives on the line to prevent the spread of
wildfires.
Wildfires! Boy, these
questions are too easy.

immigration was what really motivated people to vote. Gonzales: This summer at our state convention, we passed something called the Texas Solution. What it says is, one, secure the border. Two, use technology to make a Social Security card more difficult to [de]fraud. Then they put together a guest worker program, and it says that applicants must go through a background check and waive any right to entitlement programs, that every employer must prove they can provide private health insurance, and that every applicant’s kids get a biometric ID card. I haven’t seen a whole lot from anybody else that has that kind of detail. Alvarado: One thing that needs to be clarifi ed is, talk about border security is really about guns and drugs. It’s not about people crossing the border. We’re trying to make sure people follow the rules, but say I come over at age 5 or 6 or 7—I have no choice in doing that. Yet I can’t go to college; I can’t get a job. Those are the kinds of reforms we’re talking about—fi nding ways to enable people to obtain citizenship. If we do not do it within this next four years, look at the workforce: The average engineer in this country is 46. That bothers me.

5 Minute Face Lift tightens and
nourishes your skin, creating smoother looking skin and
turning back the clock.
You don’t have to keep your wrinkles.
DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift restores the appearance of older looking skin by tightening and fi rming the appearance of aged skin within 5 minutes and, thus, reducing the appearance of fi ne lines, wrinkles and sagging skin for a beautiful and more youthful complexion.
And now you can look years younger in just 90 seconds.
One of the fi rst places many people notice changes in their appearance is in the skin around the eyes. This is due to the fact that skin in this area is extremely thin and delicate, making it especially vulnerable to damage. Through its fi rming cosmetic properties, DermaSilk 90 Second Eye Lift temporarily tightens the loose skin around your delicate eye area and reduces the appearance of crow’s feet, fi ne lines and under eye puffi ness for a smoother and more youthful eye appearance.
DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift is a completely new and exciting skin care product, consumer tested to lift the skin’s appearance and render fi rmer looking skin quickly and effectively. DermaSilk 5 Minute Face Lift Tightening Serum results in the appearance of smoother looking skin. From the moment you put it on, you will feel your skin tightening and fi rming. Small wrinkles will look diminished and your skin will feel refreshed. Facial skin will appear smoother, fi rmer and younger.
DermaSilk works on the primary reason mature facial
skin loses its elasticity.At the age of 40, the levels of collagen and elastin in your skin begin to greatly decline. This loss is what leads to sagging, wrinkling and, unfortunately, older looking skin.

growth of the Hispanic community. Let me use a baseball analogy. People say, “Linda, you just got into baseball because Hispanics are good at baseball.” But the difference between baseball and the other issues we’re talking about is access—because the rules are the same in every baseball park across America. The bases are the same distance apart. Everybody gets three strikes and four balls. What we’re looking for in America—like in baseball—is the opportunity to try, [to fi nd] that level playing fi eld.Morales: Let’s talk about the cultural perspective. [More than] 20 coun-tries make up our culture. Are there universal ties, though, that unite us? Jiménez: It’s really the values. When I was in high school and was fi lling out my SAT application, I was asked for my Social Security number. And I said, “I don’t have one.” My college adviser said, “You can’t go to college—I’m sorry. Go back home.” And it was my mom who turned that fear in me into courage. She said, “Go back and fi ll out that form—or I’m going to the school myself and get it!” It’s those values of courage, of opportunity, of education, of family. Those are American values. Castro: When I think of what Latinos are going to mean to the United States as the population grows, it’s going to be a replenishment of exactly what made the United States a great nation: a great work ethic, faith, aspiration, community. Alvarado: What makes me feel good about this is that we are coming together in ways that really don’t distinguish whether you’re Ecuadorean or Puerto Rican or vegetarian—whatever. Before, we had the media dividing our own community, and we don’t see that today. That’s not just good for us—that’s good for the future of America.Gonzales: I agree with the mayor entirely on faith and hard work. My grandfather has a third-grade education. My grandmother [has a fi fth-grade education]. But they knew that a good education was going to be the key to the family’s success. My father went to the University of Texas at Austin. He’s an aerospace engineer and worked 43 years at NASA. All of his siblings have at least one college degree. Most have multiple degrees. That sets up our generation. My cousins and I, every-one has at least one college degree. But it was my grandfather who said, you will go to school, you will go to UT Austin. That set everybody up. Morales: What makes you most proud to be Latino, and what public fi gures do you think best represent the future of our community? Castro: My mother was involved in the Chicano movement, and so was my father. So [my brother] Joaquín and I grew up in a fairly political household, even though they were not in offi ce. I grew up hearing and reading about Cesar Chavez, so that’s one of the people I looked up to. Jiménez: I grew up here as an undocumented student, and everything around me said, No. No scholarship, no fellowship, no internship, no access to higher education. What makes me proud is the community and my family around me really pushing me, with a lot of courage and faith, to continue moving forward. Alvarado: The thing I’m most grateful for is that I’m here today not because I’m the exception to the rule but because other people opened doors for me. It’s not just about getting; it’s about giving back.

Was superstorm Sandy so bad
because of global warming?
—Robert Schreib, Toms River, N.J.
In this case several factors not directly related to climate change converged to generate the event. On Sandy’s way north, it ran into a vast high-pressure system over Canada, which prevented it from con-tinuing in that direction, as hurricanes normally do, and forced it to turn west. Then, because it traveled about 300 miles over open water before making landfall, it piled up an unusually large storm surge. An infrequent jet-stream reversal helped maintain and fuel the storm. As if all that weren’t bad enough, a full moon was occur-ring, so the moon, the earth, and the sun were in a straight line, increasing the moon’s and sun’s gravitational effects on the tides, thus lifting the high tide even higher. Add to this that the wind and water, though not quite at hurricane levels, struck an area rarely hit by storms of this magnitude—so the struc-tures were more vulnerable—and a disaster occurred. One way global warming may have contributed is that the area’s sea level is somewhat higher than it was a century ago. A bit of good luck: Tides would have been even higher if the moon had been closer to us. Instead, it was just a few days from apogee, the point in its orbit where it’s farthest away.
