We had our first guest on KCSB this morning: Director of UCSB’s Meso American Research Center and the recipient of the 2000 Rolex Award for Enterprise, Dr. Anabel Ford. She has been studying of the ancient city of El Pilar for decades. This historic Maya community is on the border of Belize and Guatemala. Dr. Ford contests, contrary to many of her colleagues, that El Pilar is a model of the sustainable practice of “forest gardening.” She and her team have worked to study, understand and preserve El Pilar. Check it out on this week’s podcast page.

This one from the This-Guy-Could-Be-Him file:
The FBI recently used a photograph of Spanish politician Gaspar Llamazares as an example of what Osama Bin Laden might look like today.
According to Reuters, FBI special agent Jason Pack said a forensic artist had been unable to find suitable features from the FBI’s database of photographs and used a picture from the Internet instead. That photo turned out to be one of Llamazares who apparently looks strikingly similar to what the FBI thinks Bin Laden would look like with a few extra years on him.
“I am stupefied the FBI has used my photo — but it could have been anyone’s — to compose a picture of a terrorist. It affects my honor, my own image and also the security of all us,” LLamazares said in a statement.

High surf earlier this week at Santa Barbara’s Arroyo Burro Beach (Hendry’s Beach as it is known locally) has severely damaged the formerly sandy seashore. The photo above shows the aftermath of the big waves that pummeled the coast below the Douglas Family Preserve, unearthing jagged rocks that lay hidden beneath the sand. Beach-goers will notice that easy access is essentially cut off by the wet, slippery. and treacherous terrain. As of Thursday January 14 the shoreline just below Selrose Lane, southeast to the Mesa Lane staircase has been affected.
