Allen St. John, Contributor
I provide an alternative take on sports, entertainment and pop culture
My golden retriever Tessie, who I've written about on my page before, is an integral part of the workforce at the Allen St. John Media Empire. Her duties include couch testing, food tasting, and informing her colleagues–me–when the mail has arrived. But a recent study at Virginia Commonwealth University suggests that the presence of dogs in more conventional workplaces actually reduces on-the-job stress for dog owners and non-owners alike.
A study published in the March issue of the International Journal of Workplace Health Management suggested that dog owners and non-owners alike may experience reduced stress levels when dogs are allowed in the workplace.
The study was performed at Replacements Ltd in Greensboro, NC, which sells china, silver, and crystal to replace broken saucers or salad forks that may have slipped into the garbage. The company employs about 450 people and has 25 to 30 dogs on site every day.
Researchers first divided their test subjects into groups, which included dog-owners and non dog-owners and had the dog-owners bring in their pets on specified days. They then measured workplace stress in two ways–by measuring the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in saliva samples and through self-reporting on surveys. While the saliva samples didn't show any increase in stress hormones, the employees who interacted with the dogs during the day reported lower stress levels. This applied to both dog-owners and non-dog owners.
The research team observed workers seeking out dogs and walking them during breaks, which may foster informal communication between employees, as well as integrating exercise into the workplace routine. This video discusses the findings in more depth.
"Pet presence may serve as a low-cost, wellness intervention readily available to many organizations and may enhance organizational satisfaction and perceptions of support," said Randy Barker, the lead researcher on the study. "Of course, it is important to have policies in place to ensure only friendly, clean and well-behaved pets are present in the workplace."
So does your workplace allow dogs?
Why or why not?
Would pet-friendliness be a factor in choosing an employer?
What's your best dog-in-the-office story?
I'm planning an interview with Dr. Barker (yes, that's his real name) so if you have a question or a comment that he can address, ask away in the comments below.
I work from home, so my dog is always nearby. I am considering an offer to join a firm, however, and one of my conditions will be that I am allowed to bring my dog to the office, at least occasionally. I don't want her at home pining for me, and I would miss her!
I suppose I can see the upside to bringing one's dog to work (it's certainly less disruptive than bringing one's child.) Putting aside (for a moment) concerns for co-workers with allergies or phobias, I am wondering what it says about us and our work that we need the comfort of our pets at work. www.HereSheIsBoys.com
Like you, I have a golden retriever in my home office as I write my Forbes.com posts, comlete with dog bed in front of my file cabinet. And I didn't need any study to tell me the virtues of having a dog at work. But it is not just work – people who have dogs at home tend to be generally happier and less stressed, and if it is a real dog, as in one that needs to be walked and not merely put in your lap, it also has proven health benefits for the owner.
I would hope (though not assume) that having cats at work would have the same effect…but I don't see the school at which I work instituting a feline-friendly policy any time soon. Working at home is great for many reasons…throwing furry mice for the cats as a break is just one of them.
One of the benefits of being self-employed is that my dog is able to go to the office with me… right now he's sleeping on his bed about five feet from my desk. He's the best receptionist I've ever had and most people seem pleased to meet him! I have several clients who apparently drop by just to see the dog ~ because they seem disappointed on the days when he stays home with my fiance.
My wife has her own legal practice and takes our two white boxers Zuri and Troy to the office evry day. Between us we take the dogs for their midday walk.
The dogs love being in the office, greet clients and return to their cushions. Mike

If you are suffering from chronic pain (or pain in general) there is a new technique that will significantly decrease your pain and help improve your function. The technique is called Trigger Point Dry Needling.
When I say "new" I mean new to the area not new in theory. Dry Needling has been around for many, many years. The RI Board of Physical Therapy recently ruled that the technique is within the scope of practice for Licensed Physical Therapists in the State of RI. That is just a bunch of legal talk for "PTs can legally perform Dry Needling and get paid for it."
So what is it? Therapists place fine filament needles (not injection needles) into trigger points in the muscles of the body. Trigger points are more commonly known as muscle knots. Trigger points will do a couple of things to cause pain.
Trigger points will effectively shorten the muscle. This can pull on the tendons (which can cause tendinitis) and will limit normal body motions. The limit in body motion causes compensations which will put stress on other joints and cause pain. Running is a good example. If you dont have adequate hip extension then you will get excessive arching of your low back. This then leads to pain in your low back.
The trigger points themselves have referral patterns for pain as well. Do you ever get a headache that starts at the base of your skull and travels up to your eyeball like a rams horn? That is a common referral pattern for your upper traps (the muscles that run from your neck to the top of your shoulder). Most people are stressed and sit in really poor posture throughout the day. (I'm doing it right now writing the post on my laptop.) This leads to trigger point formation in your upper traps which then leads to the headaches. Trigger points can form in every muscle throughout the body. They all have their own referral pattern, some covering larger areas than others.
So how does Trigger Point Dry Needling work? When the needle is introduced into the trigger point it causes a "twitch response" in the muscle. This response causes a reset in the muscle and helps it to return to its resting length. This then takes pressure off the joints/muscles and helps relieve the referral pain pattern. Following a session you should notice improved motion and less pain.
Now before I start sounding too "markety" (it's a new word, just added to Websters), I want you all to know I believe in this treatment because I have gone through it myself. I have chronic neck issues and frequently wake up with a locked neck. It is HORRIBLE and completely debilitating, especially for a Physical Therapist.
A while back I was at a conference and sleeping in a hotel bed. I woke up one morning and could not turn my neck to the right – not to mention the blistering pain that I had traveling down my spine and up into my head. One of the other therapists at the conference was certified in dry needling and offered his services. I will admit I was skeptical. I'm not a huge fan of needles to begin with but figured that pain couldn't be worse than what I was already dealing with. Man am I happy that he was there. After one treatment I could fully turn my neck and had zero pain. It was like Jesus came down and touched my neck. Right then I knew this was something that I needed to learn and have been certified since February 2011.
I will say that it is not for everyone. If you are extremely afraid of needles then this probably isn't for you. I will also say this though, it is the most powerful and amazing treatment that I have ever used with my patients. I have had people walk into my office suffering from 30 years of back pain and walk out feeling 50+ percent better. If you have an injury that isnt improving or are one of the millions of Americans that are suffering from back pain I would give it a try. I'm happy that I did and really enjoy bringing that relief to others. If you have any questions please contact me. Thank you for reading.

Everyone seems happy that the National Lacrosse League and its players have a new collective bargaining agreement. This should include fans and, yes, journalists, so that there will be a season this winter and in years to come.
I'm not sure the two sides had much choice.
The league obviously isn't in great shape, with some franchises struggling at the gate. The whole sport has to grow in order to make it more attractive to possible new owners of expansion franchises.
To everyone's credit, both sides must have realized that the situation called for fixes. The NLL opened up the books, the players believed adjustments were needed, and they went to work and got a deal done quickly. It was the rational thing to do, but that doesn't mean the effort shouldn't be saluted.
The owners got a reduced roster - 23 to 20 is a good-sized cut. That's going to save some money. More importantly, it's going to make the league even more competitive. We're down to the 180 best players around now, so roster spots will be squeezed a little more. The players saw the age for unrestricted free agency drop by two years to 30, which seems more than fair. Interesting that Billy Dee Smith and Chad Culp of the Bandits were in that slot and thus benefit from the new deal. The practice roster does go up by one to four.
There's also a luxury tax of at least 25 percent starting at $400,000, and the numbers go up from there. Commissioner George Daniel said a few teams probably would have been over that number in the past, but that the reduced roster probably would make it easier to hit that target.
Here's one other interesting note about the CBA: A player older than 34 can walk away from a franchise designation, which would force a player to stay with a team otherwise. It was called "the Tavares rule" in the conference call. In other words, if the Bandits wanted John Tavares to stay with the team through the age of 45 without ever giving him the chance at free agency, they could. Since he's been around for more 20 years, he should have the chance at testing the open market if he so chooses. I don't think he's going anywhere - it sounds like Tavares will give playing a shot at training camp and then see what happens - but he and others in that situation deserve a shot.
The Bandits have been active in terms of transactions already this season. They still have players to sign, naturally, and there may be some new free agents out there later this year of interest. I would think that increased free agency would help teams in the traditional lacrosse hot beds like Buffalo, Toronto and Vancouver (Rochester might be counted there too), so I'll be paying attention to how that shakes out. I saw on IL Indoor that John Grant Jr. has re-signed with Colorado, a good move by the Mammoth.

The Express-Star
NORMAN, Okla. —
The No. 13 Oklahoma football team needed overtime to beat No. 21 Oklahoma State in Norman on Saturday in its second straight high-scoring nail-biter.
The Sooners won the game 51-48, and improved to 9-2 this season, 7-1 in Big 12 play. Oklahoma State dropped to 7-4, 5-3 in conference play.
"First, hats off to [Oklahoma State head] coach Mike Gundy and the Oklahoma State team, playing a really hard-fought game all night," OU head coach Bob Stoops said. "Fortunately, we were able to make a few more plays down the stretch to win it."
Landry Jones set the school record for both completions and passing attempts in a game, going 46-for-71 for 500 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception.
"Some days you're going to throw it a little bit more than others," Jones said with a laugh after the game. "At the end of the game I didn't really realize how much we threw it until someone came up and told me. I'm sure I'll have to put some ice [on my shoulder]."
Three Oklahoma receivers had more than 100 yards. Justin Brown led the way with 15 catches for 146 yards, Jalen Saunders caught 10 passes for 162 yards and one touchdown, and Kenny Stills had nine catches for 103 yards and one touchdown. Fullback Trey Millard had the other receiving touchdown for the Sooners.
Oklahoma State was in control of the game early on, scoring the first two touchdowns of the game in the first quarter. Cowboys quarterback Clint Chelf had success running the ball early on, setting up running back Joseph Randle for two early touchdowns.
"I knew coming in that I was going to have to be a ball carrier and take some shots and get up and show the team that it doesn't matter what happens, just keep fighting," Chelf said. "I was trying to do that."
Chelf ran for 67 yards on seven carries in the first half, including a 38-yard run. He finished with 81 yards on 12 carries, and threw for 253 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 19-for-37 passing.
"I definitely know he has it in him," Randle said of Chelf. "He played great, and he kept his composure in a hostile environment and our team played pretty good."
Randle was the Cowboys' leading rusher with 116 yards and four touchdowns on 21 carries, but wasn't interested in dwelling on his individual success.
"Right now, it don't really matter," Randle said. "All that really matters is whether you got the win or the loss and we came up short."
OU rallied to tie the game at 24 at halftime, and the two teams went back-and-forth for the rest of the game. The Sooners tied the game at 45 with a touchdown by backup quarterback Blake Bell with just four seconds remaining in regulation.
The Sooners had gotten the ball back from Oklahoma State with 6:18 to play. Initially, the plan was not to take the rest of the fourth quarter on the scoring drive, said offensive coordinator Josh Heupel.
"It's not necessarily what the plan was in the first part of the drive, but as it went on, that was kind of the scenario that played out," Heupel said. "We did a good job of handling the clock, executing, and shifting guys in and out."
Oklahoma State got the ball first in the overtime, but the OU defense held the Cowboys to a field goal. On OU's second play of its overtime possession, running back Brennan Clay took an inside handoff 18 yards for the game-winning touchdown.
Clay was Oklahoma's leading rusher with 60 yards on 13 carries and one touchdown.
After passing the ball 73 times as a team, it was three straight running plays that won the game at the end for the OU offense.
"I believe in those guys, and their ability to execute," Heupel said of his running backs.
The Sooners will close out the regular season with a road game against TCU on Dec. 1, with the time of the game to be determined. Oklahoma State will play at Baylor on Dec. 1, game time to be announced later.

Tue Aug 20, 2013 2:16 pm The Seahawks gained a lot of temporary, if not bandwagon, fans last season, and one of the main reasons was their defense. An inconsistent pass rush was covered up by an elite secondary unit that nicknamed themselves the "Legion of Boom". Headlined by the trash-talking Richard Sherman, the Legion made big plays and frustrated offenses all season.
Fantasy Source Spin: If a group of people was asked to name the NFL leader in points allowed, it's likely that the Seahawks would not be the first team named, but their unit did, in fact, lead the NFL with 15.3 points allowed per game. Just imagine what type of havoc this team will wreak if they can consistently harass the quarterback in '13.

The Watchung Hills Wolverines Junior Pee Wee team advanced to the second round of the Garden State Games with an impressive win over the Orange Bengals, 24-6.
Matty Colantuono scored twice on two quarterback keeps. Colantuono also connected with Pat Stefurack on a 40-yard touchdown pass.
Andrew Reale rambled down the sideline for a 40 yard touchdown run. Connor Cook carried six times for 60 yards and Jack Taub added 50 yards on the ground as well.
Andrew Reale finished the day with 60 yards rushing and converted a huge first down early in the game.
The offensive line kept the Bengals defense at bay led by Anthony Tomaro at center, Justin Uberoi, Charlie Everhardt, Adam Claxton, George Rooks, Isiah Parker and Pat Stefurack.
The defense was stingy all game only allowing the Orange Bengals 40 yards on the ground. Jack Taub, Connor Cook, Andrew Reale and Matty Colantuono led the defensive attack.
The secondary shut down Orange's passing attack with a huge interception by Joey Denave with 2:10 left before the half.
The Junior Pee Wees head to Roselle on Wednesday night to play Newark in the semi-finals. The winner advances to the Garden State finals which will be held at Rutgers Stadium this Sunday.

Senator Sanders: Poverty Is A Death Sentence – Cuts 6.5 Years Off Life Expectancy (Video)
|Email This - Print This
Senator Bernie Sanders: "In America today, people in the highest income group level, the top 20 percent, live, on average, at least 6.5 years longer than those in the lowest income group. Let me repeat that. If you are poor in America you will live 6.5 years less than if you are wealthy or upper-middle class."
Editor's Note: Senator Sanders references the new Census poverty totals. For a more in depth understanding of poverty in America, read our new report:
Over 56 Million Americans Live in Poverty – How Census Bureau Propaganda Ignores the Suffering of 10 Million Impoverished Americans
For a more in depth understanding of the poverty death rate, here is an excerpt from our extensive report on financial terrorism in America:
The dramatic increase in poverty has obviously torn many families apart and caused a devastating psychological toll, but consider the increase in deaths as a result of poverty and severe wealth inequalities. This is a very difficult statistic to accurately measure, but Columbia University's School of Public Health conducted an intensive examination of mortality and medical data and estimated that "875,000 deaths in the US in 2000 could be attributed to a cluster of social factors bound up with poverty and income inequality."
As a report by Debra Watson sums up the study, "There is no reason to believe, after a decade that has seen sustained attacks on social programs and consistently high unemployment rates, that the social mortality rate has declined. On the contrary, it has likely risen." Indeed, poverty and income inequality have skyrocketed since 2000.
Now, let's consider the fact that, according to the Census Bureau, 31.1 million people lived in poverty in 2000, and according to Columbia's study 875,000 deaths came as a result. This means that 1 out of every 35.5 people living in poverty die annually as a result of their impoverishment. If you extrapolate this data to the 2009 total of 52.8 million people living in poverty, you get an estimate of 1,486,338 deaths within that year. Even if you use the lower poverty totals from the Census Bureau, 43.6 million people, you get an estimate of 1,228,169 deaths in 2009.
Senator Bernie Sanders' full speech transcript:
The crisis of poverty in America is one of the great moral and economic issues facing our country. It is very rarely talked about in the mainstream media. It gets even less attention in Congress. Why should people care? Many poor people don't vote. They certainly don't make large campaign contributions, and they don't have powerful lobbyists representing their interests.
Here's why we all should care. There are 46 million Americans — about one in six — living below the poverty line. That's the largest number on record, according to a new report released Tuesday by the Census Bureau. About 49.9 million Americans lacked health insurance, the report also said. That number has soared by 13.3 million since 2000.
Moreover, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States has both the highest overall poverty rate and the highest childhood poverty rate of any major industrialized country on earth. This comes at a time when the U.S. also has the most unequal distribution of wealth and income of any major country on earth with the top 1 percent earning more than the bottom 50 percent.
According to the latest figures from the OECD, 21.6 percent of American children live in poverty. This compares to 3.7 percent in Denmark, 5 percent in Finland, 5.5 percent in Norway 6.9 percent in Slovenia, 7 percent in Sweden, 7.2 percent Hungary, 8.3 percent in Germany, 8.8 percent in the Czech Republic, 9.3 percent in France, 9.4 percent in Switzerland. I suppose we can take some comfort in that our numbers are not quite as bad as Turkey (23.5 percent), Chile (24 percent) and Mexico (25.8 percent).
When we talk about poverty in America, we think about people who may be living in substandard and overcrowded homes or may be homeless. We think about people who live with food insecurity, who may not know how they are going to feed themselves or their kids tomorrow. We think about people who, in cold states like Vermont, may not have enough money to purchase the fuel they need to keep warm in the winter. We think about people who cannot afford health insurance or access to medical care. We think about people who cannot afford an automobile or transportation, and can't get to their job or the grocery store. We think about senior citizens who may have to make a choice between buying the prescription drugs he or she needs, or purchasing an adequate supply of food.
I want to focus on an enormously important point. And that is that poverty in America today leads not only to anxiety, unhappiness, discomfort and a lack of material goods. It leads to death. Poverty in America today is a death sentence for tens and tens of thousands of our people which is why the high childhood poverty rate in our country is such an outrage.
Some facts:
• At a time when we are seeing major medical breakthroughs in cancer and other terrible diseases for the people who can afford those treatments, the reality is that life expectancy for low-income women has declined over the past 20 years in 313 counties in our country. In other words, in some areas of America, women are now dying at a younger age than they used to.
• In America today, people in the highest income group level, the top 20 percent, live, on average, at least 6.5 years longer than those in the lowest income group. Let me repeat that. If you are poor in America you will live 6.5 years less than if you are wealthy or upper-middle class.
• In America today, adult men and women who have graduated from college can expect to live at least 5 years longer than people who have not finished high school.
• In America today tens of thousands of our fellow citizens die unnecessarily because they cannot get the medical care they need. According to Reuters (September 17, 2009), nearly 45,000 people die in the United States each year — one every 12 minutes — in large part because they lack health insurance and cannot get good care. Harvard Medical School researchers found in an analysis released on Thursday."
• In 2009, the infant mortality rate for African American infants was twice that of white infants.
I recite these facts because I believe that as bad as the current situation is with regard to poverty, it will likely get worse in the immediate future. As a result of the greed, recklessness and illegal behavior of Wall Street we are now in the midst of the worst economic downturn since the 1930s. Millions of workers have lost their jobs and have slipped out of the middle class and into poverty. Poverty is increasing.
Further, despite the reality that our deficit problem has been caused by the recession and declining revenue, two unpaid for wars and tax breaks for the wealthy, there are some in Congress who wish to decimate the existing safety net which provides a modicum of security for the elderly, the sick, the children and lower income people. Despite an increase in poverty, some of these people would like to cut or end Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, home heating assistance, nutrition programs and help for the disabled and the homeless.
To the degree that they are successful, there is no question in my mind that many more thousands of men, women and children will die.
From a moral perspective, it is not acceptable that we allow so much unnecessary suffering and preventable death to continue. From an economic perspective and as we try to fight our way out of this terrible recession, it makes no sense that we push to the fringe so many people who could be of such great help to us.

A raffle ticket purchase usually comes with a disclaimer — "you must be present to win."
Elections operate under the same premise. Those who vote stand a better chance of getting their concerns addressed than those who don't. In the 2010 midterm elections, just 21 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds in America voted. Sixty-one percent of folks over 65 cast ballots. Candidates (who later become office holders) keep that in mind. The 2012 attack ads verify the preferences shown to voters, compared to all Average Joes and Janes in the U.S.
"Think of all the attention that is paid to Social Security and Medicare, rather than youth issues," Peter Levine — director of the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement — said by telephone Friday from his office at Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
Which is not to say those government-funded retirement and health-care programs are not crucial topics; they are, indeed. Yet, as politicians solidify their "five-point plans," the issues that make the cut on those lists typically target voters, rather than nonvoters.
That said, how would the 2012 campaign (and ultimately the local, state and federal government) be different if every American citizen over 18 voted on Nov. 6?
On Thursday, the Pew Research Center released an analysis of the people the politicians, pollsters and pundits are not clamoring about — nonvoters. They're not a tiny demographic. In fact, nearly 43 percent of the voting-age population did not vote in 2008, an election that inspired the broadest public participation in decades. Four years later, Pew surveyed, nationwide, nonvoters — adults who are unable to vote, and those who choose not to vote. Their priorities contrast significantly from those of voters. So, how different would politicians campaign and then govern if everybody voted?
"We don't put any judgment on that," said Pew associate director Carroll Doherty, "but it would certainly change things by looking at those tables [of survey questions]."
First, let's identify nonvoters. Statistically, they're younger, less educated and less wealthy than likely voters. Most (64 percent) aren't married, compared to voters (59 percent are married), according to the Pew study. A larger slice of the nonvoting population is Hispanic (21 percent), while 7 percent of likely voters are Hispanic. Surprisingly, more than one-third of nonvoters are actually registered, yet have little or no interest in the election.
"These are people who are pretty disengaged from the campaign and the election," Doherty said, speaking Thursday by phone from the Pew Center in Washington.
Next, let's discern their thoughts. Though disengaged, nonvoters still have opinions, and they're not easy to stereotype. Their views on domestic and foreign policy tend to be more liberal than voters, but they mirror voters on most social issues, such as same-sex marriage, immigration and abortion. Most nonvoters (67 percent) favor bringing troops in Afghanistan home as soon as possible, while just 56 percent of likely voters agree. Meanwhile, 54 percent of nonvoters say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 39 percent think it should be illegal, almost identical to likely voters (55 and 38).
They're less partisan than likely voters, with 44 percent of nonvoters identifying themselves as independent, 29 percent Democrat, and 17 percent Republican. Those who consider themselves liberal are nearly the same (25 percent of nonvoters, 20 percent of likely voters), but only 28 percent of nonvoters identify as conservative compared to 44 percent of likely voters.
Finally, unlike the dead-even split among likely voters in the presidential race, nonvoters overwhelmingly favor President Obama (59 percent) over Republican Mitt Romney (24 percent).
One group of Americans is the least engaged of all — people under 30 with no college education. In terms of public policy considerations, less educated young people "are left out," Levine said. Yet, some of U.S. society's greatest concerns — war, unemployment, and a lack of health-care coverage — affect them most directly.
Why will so few young, less-affluent, less-educated, unmarried Americans go to the polls Tuesday, when they have so much at stake?
The hard-line argument places the responsibility on those nonvoters. If they want their president, senator, Congress member, governor, state legislator or county commissioner to remember their interests, they need to get up and vote; otherwise, don't complain. And, that's a valid point. Still, others would legitimately blame the unnecessarily cumbersome voting rules, crafted more for people living and working in stable situations, rather than those who may have had two or three addresses, or a last-name change since the previous election. Voting registration closes 29 days before the election in Indiana — precisely the time when most Americans start paying attention to the campaign. In this age of instant technology, the Hoosier state should adopt same-day registration.
The saddest reality is that both sides are comfortable with the situation.
Nonvoters find it easier to stay uninvolved. The powerful prefer those nonparticipants stay that way.

Wake Forest-Rolesville at Durham Riverside
7:30 p.m. Friday Wrenn Stadium, Durham 2006: Riverside, 18-16
Riverside reached the state 4-AA title game in 2006 but has a new offensive cast. Wake Forest-Rolesville, which tied for the Cap Seven title, expects to be improved.
Ravenscroft at Louisburg
7:30 p.m. Aug. 24 Warriors Stadium, Louisburg 2006: Louisburg, 66-32
Ravenscroft may be a contender for the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association 2-A title. Louisburg returns rushers with almost 5,000 career yards combined.
Clayton at South Johnston
7:30 p.m. Aug. 31 Avery Stadium, Four Oaks 2006: S. Johnston, 21-13
This game should provide a hint of the fates of the two teams this season. South Johnston wants to continue to improve. Clayton tries to uphold its tradition.
Millbrook at Northern Durham
7:30 p.m. Sept. 7 Durham County Stadium 2006: Millbrook, by forfeit
These two programs have rich football traditions, but each needs to re-establish its power base. Northern's 1-10 mark in 2006 had five forfeits, including this game.
Broughton at Athens Drive
7:30 p.m. Sept. 14 Williams Stadium, Raleigh 2006: Did not play
Broughton and Athens had prolific passing attacks in 2006, and the Jaguars return QB Nick DeMuro. If the Caps' air attack stays strong, there could be aerial fireworks.
Sanderson at Wakefield
7:30 p.m. Sept. 21 Wolverines Stadium, Raleigh 2006: Sanderson, 16-12
Wakefield was 5-0 last year before being defeated by a 1-4 Sanderson team. Wakefield never regained its momentum.
Durham Jordan at Durham Hillside
7:30 p.m. Sept. 28 Blunt Stadium, Durham 2006: Jordan, 21-20
Jordan stopped a 2-point conversion in the closing minutes in 2006. Hillside looks stronger on paper, but Jordan, which has a strong nucleus, is consistently good.
Southern Vance at Bunn
7:30 p.m. Oct. 5 Wildcats Stadium, Bunn 2006: S. Vance, 14-9
Bunn has state title aspirations but first must control the Northern Carolina 2-A conference. Southern Vance returns eight offensive starters who averaged 375 total yards and 28 points per game in 2006.
Burlington Cummings at Pittsboro Northwood
7 p.m. Oct. 12 Chargers Stadium, Pittsboro 2006: Cummings, 50-21
Cummings was 15-1 and won the state 2-A title in 2006, but it returns only 10 lettermen. Quarterback Omar Stewart passed for 2,923 yards, including 31 touchdown passes. Northwood's Tobais Palmer, an N.C. State recruit, makes big plays.
Cary at Apex
7:30 p.m. Oct. 19 Cougar Stadium, Apex 2006: Apex, 28-0
One of the area's keenest rivalries was a one-sided game in 2006, but Cary has eight returning defensive starters. Both teams could contend for the title in the balanced Tri-Eight 4-A.
East Wake at Garner
7:30 p.m. Oct. 26 Trojan Stadium, Garner 2006: Garner, 14-0
Last year's game was one of the best of the 2006 season. The Greater Neuse River regular-season title could be on the line.
Middle Creek at Panther Creek
7:30 p.m. Nov. 2 Catamounts Stadium, Cary 2006: Did not play
Panther Creek probably will be completing its first season of varsity competition. Middle Creek might be preparing for the playoffs.

By Mike Harrington
A couple rulings have come down from the NHL late Tuesday afternoon in the wake of Sunday's brawl in Toronto: Sabres coach Ron Rolston has been fined an undisclosed amount for "player selection and team conduct" and Leafs winger Phil Kessel has been fined for the remaining three games of the preseason for his slashes at Sabres enforcer John Scott (see Brendan Shanahan's video explanation above)
Clearly, the league is slapping a rookie head coach on the wrist for putting Scott on the ice to initiate the melee that featured goaltenders Ryan Miller and Jonathan Bernier. Fair enough on first glance.
But oops, it wasn't in the final five minutes of a game, Scott was already on the ice and had played 8 1/2 minutes to that point with the Sabres down forwards due to injury. And Leafs coach Randy Carlyle had the last change anyway. This wasn't like Lindy Ruff throwing Adam Mair, Patrick Kaleta and Andrew Peters on the ice against Ottawa's skill line in 2007 in response to Chris Drury's injury.
Sets an awfully dangerous precedent for teams. What constitutes a fine for "player selection" now?
And as for team conduct, which team had a player suspended 10 games for leaving the bench?
The Kessel suspension seems about right given Scott's initiation. It's a little surprising Kessel won't miss any regular season games but the Leafs were hit hard by David Clarkson's braincramp. Still, if you're only going to get suspended for the preseason, it's not much of a deterrent.

Students explored the many facets of Paris for a semester
For two Lafayette students, Paris was more than the City of Light; it was the city of learning.
Daniela Ochoa Diaz '08 (Davie, Fla.) and Lauren Moulder '08 (Eden Prairie, Minn.) were among a contingent that took advantage of the Sweet Briar Junior Year in France program in conjunction with Lafayette.
The two used a myriad of opportunities to enrich themselves culturally, socially, and academically. Whether it was touring in the magnificence of the Louvre, enjoying a quiet afternoon at Jardin de Luximburg, or streaming down the Champs-Elysses, there was never a break in the action or an adventure that never failed to enlighten.
Both say they will never forget the fall of '07 and the chance to spread their wings abroad.
"All the knowledge I gained through my classes and just by walking through the streets, riding the Metro and living the experience that is Paris changed me," Ochoa Diaz, an international affairs major, recalls. "Every big city will have that effect on you, but a culturally rich city such as Paris will make you realize many things about your home country, yourself, and your take on political, artistic, and social issues."
Likewise for Moulder, who remembers the bonds she forged with her fellow students as well as the French people.
"I feel as though I had a wonderful experience with the French culture and people," says the economics and business and French double major. "I lived with a host family while I was in Paris and am truly grateful to them for all their help, kindness, and friendship."
In addition to Ochoa Diaz and Moulder, music and language studies double major Allison Shapp '08 (Plainview, N.Y.) and mathematics & economics and French double major Viktorija Gecyte '08 (Vilnius, Lithuania) also took advantage of the program.
Their educational opportunities were vast and varied, with Moulder studying at Paris universities in Sorbonne Nouvelle and Dauphine, as well as Sweet Briar. She took courses in French literature, development economics, French grammar, and art history.
Ochoa Diaz also studied at Sorbonne, where she learned art history and French, and she even had the opportunity to study dance at la Mairie de Paris of the 9th arrondissement.
Both fondly recall the many places they visited, with an enchanting evening at the Paris Palais Garnier Ballet an especially fond memory for Ochoa Diaz. She also made her first trip to London, visited family in Vienna, and also had a dream-come-true trip to Istanbul.
Moulder hit many of the region's most famous tourist spots, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Tours, and Normandy.
Socially, the French scene was just as diverse and memorable. For Ochoa Diaz, it was somewhat unsettling that the social circles for students consisted primarily of their neighbors rather than classmates.
"This can make socializing difficult because you as a student are itching to meet French people and get to know them and what they're like as though they're a whole other species," she says. "The good part is that you still get to do this even though it's tough at the university. Part of the experience is to be open-minded, and that's one of the ways to meet people and understand the Parisian ways."
In addition to social adjustments, Moulder also found the education process to be significantly different.
"It took a while to acclimate to the process and speed of the universities, but once I better understood the professors and they me, it became a great learning experience," she says. "The students at Dauphine were amazing and always willing to help or just talk. I hope that I will stay in touch with a few that I knew the most."
Both students feel they will benefit greatly from the experience in all aspects of their lives.
"Ultimately, I will take away from Paris the knowledge that, as much as I am interested in learning about other people, many people feel the same way," Moulder observes. "My stay in France has provided me with a new confidence. I can not only accept extreme change, but I can gain so much from it."
Ochoa Diaz took away a new worldliness from Paris, including extracurricular education about cheese and jazz, as well as belly dancing – an activity she was able to pursue in her spare time.
"All of my study abroad experiences will and have helped me at Lafayette and I believe will help me in the future," she says. "The fact that I know another language itself opens many doors for me. Additionally, it has helped me learn how to adapt to different places and to be practical."
After Lafayette, Ochoa Diaz hopes to earn a Ph.D. in the U.S. and France. At Lafayette, she is involved in Engineers without Borders, Hispanic Society of Lafayette, International Students Association, Amnesty International, Spanish for Kids, French Club, and the Model United Nations.
Moulder hopes to work on Wall Street and continue her French studies. She is involved in the campus French Club and is a Kids in the Community program volunteer.

Since the New Castle Town Board first raised the idea last March of allowing for a grocery store and retail usage at Chappaqua Crossing, two iterations of the idea have emerged.
The first proposal came last summer, which the town board initiated, to create a retail overlay zone that could be applied anywhere on the site's existing commercially zoned land. By October, however, site owner Summit/Greenfield announced a similar proposal. The developer, which stated that its plan came in response to the town board's, is also calling for a retail overlay. However, it only proposes to develop the southern portion of the site and the historic cupola.
Both plans are in their environmental review stages - the developer's is further along because a detailed study was given to the town - and the town board will vote tonight on whether to merge the reviews into one process.
According to the resolution being considered by the board, its proposal would be treated as one in the same as Summit/Greenfield's. The merged plan, for environmental review purposes, would have the characteristics of the developer's version.
Town Attorney Clinton Smith explained the resolution at last week's town board work session. He said that the scope of the examintion was being shrunk so that it will focus on what Summit/Greenfield is proposing instead of what could have been built under the board's version.
The intent behind the merger appears to be for efficiency. The resolution states the merger is for "facilitating and consolidating" the environmental review under state law.
Consolidating the review of the two plans also comes at a time when the town and Summit/Greenfield are operating , of two lawsuits from the developer over the town's rezoning review of its earlier proposing for condos and townhouses elsewhere for the property. While the town only approved 111 out out 199 units in an April 2011 vote, the developer will settle for that amount in the settlement, provided that retail and grocery rezoning is allowed. If Summit/Greenfield gets both rezoning and approval of a retail and grocery site plan, then it will drop the lawsuits, which are currently suspended.
The resolution is slated to be on the agenda for tonight's meeting, which starts at 8 p.m. at town hall in Chappaqua.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. —
Friday night probably did not go the way Devonta Pollard had always dreamed it would.
Pollard, the former Kemper County High School standout and reigning Mr. Basketball for the state of Mississippi, struggled in the first start of his college career, failing to score or claim a rebound as his Crimson Tide held of a feisty South Dakota State team to take a 70-67 in the Tide's season opener.
While Pollard was obviously dejected and disappointed as he walked away from Coleman Coliseum on Friday night, his coach wasn't worried about his freshman phenom. Not at all.
"He's going to be terrific," said University of Alabama head coach Anthony Grant in the press conference following Friday night's game. "He is going to be just fine. He is going to give us some good minutes and will improve. There is no substitute for experience."
Grant noted that the Tide was playing an experience South Dakota State team that runs a complex offense, as well as playing smart on defense.
"That was a heck of a first game for a freshman to come into against a veteran team like that," Grant said. "Everything they do offensively is off random actions. For a freshman to walk in and have to deal with that isn't easy."
Pollard got the start in the game, and logged 14 minutes. He led the team in blocked shots, but was 0-for-3 from the floor and failed to get a rebound.
None of that worried Grant in the least.
"We know what we have (in Pollard)," Grant said. "He's going to get better and better."
Pollard got the start on Sunday in 'Bama's second game of the year. This time he scored nine points, pulled down four rebounds dished out three assists and once again had a team high two blocked shots as the Crimson Tide took an 80-49 home win over the University of West Alabama.
Next up for Pollard and the Tide is a trip to New York City where they will face Oregon State at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, and then take on either Purdue and Villanova the following night.

The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District is partnering with the YMCA to bring diabetes education to the community, including a free diabetes management program developed by Stanford University.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 26 million people in the U.S. suffered from diabetes in 2010 and 79 million more had been diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Thirteen percent of Bexar County residents are diabetic.
During the Month of November, Metro Health and the YMCA of Greater San Antonio will offer free classes to help patients prevent and self-manage diabetes.
Today: University officials are calling it a victory for all students at the University of Texas at Austin, as the UT chapter of Young Conservatives of Texas has announced it will cancel its "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" game.
Lorenzo Garcia, the chairman of the group, said the reason for the cancelation is that some in the group feared retaliation from university officials if the group held the game, which was scheduled for this Wednesday.
The San Antonio Symphony has invited guest violinist Philippe Quint for its next performance. Quint was born in Leningrad, Russia, to a musical family and immigrated to the United States in 1991.
He earned multiple degrees at the Juilliard School in New York City. Quint will be in San Antonio this weekend to play Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto" with the San Antonio Symphony.
In the first segment:
An Ohio Wal-Mart is having a food drive so that needy employees can have a good Thanksgiving. McDonald's has a phone resource line directing its full-time employees to public services like food pantries, SNAP, and heating assistance.
The U.S. Attorney in San Antonio has settled a $3,675,000 whistleblower lawsuit against the Baptist Health System for filing false claims for Medicare reimbursement.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the federal investigation under the False Claims Act was triggered by allegations in a whistleblower lawsuit brought by a former employee of the Baptist Health System.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Harold Brown said Norma Rivera reported she tried twice to bring the problem to the attention of her employers.
Big time puppetry returns to the Alamo City on Wednesday, November 20, thanks to the Children's Fine Art Series, who have been in San Antonio for 31 years now.
"It actually was the creation of the Montessori school my children were attending," said Executive Director Kathleen Miller. "When I started there wasn't a whole lot of choice. But I think along the way a lot of people have realized how important that is for young children, and that they can develop that appreciation for arts at that young age."
The School of Medicine at the UT Health Science Center has been named one of the top three best medical schools for Hispanics in the U.S.
The national ranking came from "HispanicBusiness" magazine and honors the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio for its use of progressive programs to recruit, support and mentor Hispanic medical students.
As the United States becomes a net exporter of oil for the first time since 1995, the Eagle Ford Shale deposit hums away with activity. The environmental costs have been becoming better documented and one correlation becomes stronger and stronger -- the link between certain hydraulic fracturing disposal methods and earthquakes.
On Nov. 21, 1963, President John F. Kennedy spoke to a crowd of 10,000 people at Brooks Air Force Base. It would be one of his last presidential acts.
"I have come to Texas today to salute an outstanding group of pioneers," he said, speaking of the compression chambers and training abilities for Air Force, space and other programs. "It is fitting that San Antonio should be the site of this center and this school [Brooks Air Force Base School of Aerospace Medicine and the Aerospace Medical Center]."
Update (1 p.m.): Judge Mary Roman granted bail to Elizabeth Ramirez, Anna Vasquez, Cassie Rivera, and Kristie Mayhugh after the 'San Antonio 4' have spent as long as 15 years in prison for a crime that they claim never occurred.
The 3 women still incarcerated were not in the 175th district court today, and all the paperwork for the case was signed outside of public view. The Defense's Mike Ware made the announcement that proved anticlimax for a packed court room that normally Is sparsely filled.
The 4 were accused by Elizabeth Ramirez's nieces of sexually assaulting them nearly two decades ago now, a claim one of the girls would recant as an adult, saying she had been forced to lie by her father.
The District Attorney's Office agreed that key forensic testimony and evidence was flawed and did not dispute the outcome of today's hearing on those grounds, but the actual innocence of the women the state still disputes. Friday, Bexar County District Attorney, Susan Reed stated if the Court of Criminal Appeals rules the 4 can have a new trial, she will not proceed with it, effectively freeing the women for good.
Anna Vasquez, the only one of the convicted to be present today, was paroled a year ago under what Ware calls draconian parole stipulations.
These stipulations will raised as a result of the this hearing.
The case now is sent to the Court Criminal of Criminal Appeals in Austin. It has no date set nor deadline currently.

"Magic" was the key word echoed by students this week, whether they were focused on learning 19th Century photographic processes from our resident expert Brenton Hamilton or contemporary lighting techniques from one of the world's most renowned magazine cover photographers, Greg Heisler.
Yesterday, I walked into Greg's Light Work workshop. The class was taking place in a cavernous barn-red boat storage facility turned high-tech studio for the summer—think Maine meets Manhattan. I sat riveted as Greg effortlessly choreographed different lighting configurations, and compared it to my own clunky bull-in-a-china shop approach. He swiftly arranged a set of Dynalites to the front, back and side of the model, even using his hands to shape highlights and shadows on the model's face. After each image was shot, he then projected the results for students to compare. My favorite set-up was a reverse U-shaped trellis-like-structure with a top light and two side lights set against a black velveteen backdrop, all sitting behind the model, who was much closer to the camera. Front fill was used, and the effect was stunning, a soft rim light around the model's hair and shoulders brought both drama and dimension to the portrait.
"I'm learning to trust my instincts and create light based on my individual perceptions," said Sharona, a professional portrait photographer from Boston. "It's not formulaic. Greg teaches different recipes seasoned to taste."
While Greg is known as one of the industry greats, what I found even more impressive was his genuine passion for teaching. He seemed so at ease sharing his years of knowledge and experience with photographers of all levels. I watched him give example after example of how to craft a look, while also teaching students how to employ what's right in front of them.
"Greg's amazing. I met him in Dubai at Gold Photo Plus. Everyone said if you want to learn lighting, this is the guy," said TJ, a student from Chicago, who started shooting a couple of years ago, explaining that he came to Maine for Greg's workshop to expand his lighting capabilities. "He has taught me how to motivate light and think of my environment. Now I think more cinematically and don't just put the light on a stick and fire."
Whether shooting low-tech with available natural light or in a studio using thousands of dollars worth of equipment, Greg encourages his workshoppers to really see and engage with what's around them before snapping the shutter. "Motivate the practical," is the mantra Greg often repeats.
"Greg is a magician with lighting. He's an intuitive lighter and an individual lighter, who totally caters to the subject rather than to his particular style," explains Chris, Greg's teaching assistant from Maine Media. "On top of it, he's a really well spoken, sweet guy. I'm honored to watch his process. "
Earlier in the week, I decided to escape the humidity and duck into the cool comfort of our newly minted AltPro lab. My timing was perfect. I walked in the door just as Brenton began a Salt Printing demo. It was the first alternative processes class in the new space, and the anticipation among the group was palpable—lots of questions, note-taking and videoing Brenton's every word and every step. Brenton stood beneath sheets of paper with hand-painted emulsions, drying on clothespins. He had a specified brush in hand and began applying a historic chemical concoction of silver nitrate. He directed the workshoppers to paint "luxurious" amounts of the emulsion onto the pieces of artistic paper pre-treated with a sodium chloride solution. He also warned them not to make puddles on the paper so that uneven emulsion thicknesses or brush strokes would distort the final image.
I learned that each formula has its particular behavior and requires its own special brand of brushing. Ziatypes for instance are a saturate and coat technique. It's something that needs to be learned by doing, a kinetic process where you simply have to experience and feel your way through, from the back-of-the-hand test to tell if your paper's dry to how long to let your image develop in the sunlight. Yet that's the fun of it all. Rolling up your sleeves, getting your hands wet, seeing the image slowly emerge when exposed to light. It's the hands-on gratification of making something real, a tangible link to image creation that's just different from moving Lightroom sliders back-and-forth on the computer for hours.
"I entered into photography during the digital age," said Amy, one of the workshop participants, who owns a portrait studio in Ohio. "I think there's a little something magical about the idea of using historic processes."
Over the week, the students learned a total of nine different historic photo printing techniques including Cyanotype, Salted Paper, Kallitype, Albumen, Platinum Palladium, Ziatype and Gum Bichromate.
"It's making photography magic and fun again," said Skip, who travelled to Maine from Baltimore. "I'm excited to play."

Our campus is in full summer swing this week and bustling with directors, cinematographers, photographers, animators, and screenwriters. Click here for full schedule. Best known for his more than 70 cover portraits for TIME magazine, Greg Heisler is teaching this week, greeting photographers from around the country who have come to learn his innovative and distinctive use of light; award-winning photographer Cig Harvey leads students to delve into personal experience and emerge with visual images full of color and gesture; and Emmy-nominated Alan Myerson guides future movie directors to realize their creative vision through inspirational leadership of cast and crew. All this and more while our Rockport Gallery hangs its new show, A Maine Media Legacy, to raise scholarship funds; and our staff gets ready to host its annual bash this Saturday evening. Come join us and bid on a private photo session with one of 11 internationally claimed photographers who have photographed a stunning array of Hollywood A-listers, world leaders, cultural icons, and sports heroes. Click here for event info.
This summer, photography celebrates its 175th birthday, and Maine Media honors the medium by highlighting one of its most iconic practices-portraiture. Illuminating identity, celebrity, description, and memory, portrait photography captures the idea of society and culture-and our place in it.
"Portraiture is one of the great themes of photography. It's central," said MMW instructor Sean Kernan, an award-winning fine art and commercial photographer, who has captured haunting portraits of the famous as well as the marginalized. "What interests me are the ways that the portrait can be stretched and adapted to the photographer's response to the subject. My feeling is that photography and art of all kinds, still life, landscape, etc., are a way of explaining humans to humans, and few things take us deeper into the human than portraiture."
Sean is one of 11 portrait masters that we'll be celebrating in our upcoming Portrait Session Auction on July 12. Joining fellow luminaries Sam Abell, Marco Grob, Cig Harvey, Greg Heisler, Connie Imboden, Douglas Kirkland, Patrisha McLean, Greg Miller, Joyce Tenneson, and Michael Wilson, Sean will offer a private portrait session to bidders at our sparkling summer fundraiser. These artists have photographed cultural icons like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Andy Warhol, Barack Obama, and Bono. Just imagine what they will capture about you. With sittings that can take place in the crafted light of an artist's studio, at a colorful county fair, or even underwater, these sessions will reveal an incredible range of photographic style. The cost of admission to the auction is just $45, but your portrait session will be priceless.
If you haven't yet enjoyed a portraiture workshop here at MMW, this is certainly the summer to do it. Many of the artists participating in our auction will be teaching here, and many others as well, including Newman Prize winner Steven Laxton, celebrated documentarian Debbie Fleming Caffery, and rising portraiture star Lydia Panas. As we hear from our students week after week, one workshop with masters like these sets their work light years ahead. Even the instructors themselves come here to learn from their contemporaries. "The campus at Maine Media has always been my favorite because in addition to teaching here, I learn here," says Sean Kernan. "There's a kind of anthill atmosphere that excites me and makes me want to try new things."
We're hoping many of the creative and emotional risks taken by both our students and faculty will be on display in submissions to our newly launched contest, Character. Running through September 7, the contest seeks portraits and stories that reveal the human condition. We've got an impressive line up of jurors and over $13,000 in prizes in this contest especially suited to the photographic portrait. More than any other art form, portraiture's complexity has the power to articulate both emotional and physical impressions, and to reveal depths of character far greater than the limits of their dimensions. Portraits have the power to capture, transform, and transfix not only the viewer, but also both subject and artist. We look forward to seeing how 175 years of photographic portraiture has inspired you, and where you will lead the genre in the months and years ahead.
Last week, our enthusiastic guests helped us turn the cranks of the Vandercook as they saw the magic of type transfer ink to paper. They pulled needle and thread to artfully bind pages into a book. And they watched light-exposed images slowly emerge from coated photographic emulsions on fine paper.
The standing-room-only Grand Opening event celebrated the completion of our latest and exciting addition--a new Book Arts & Alternative Process Photography Studio-which officially opened on June 12, 2014. Festivities kicked off with an open studio, where our faculty, staff, and guest artists invited people to try their hand at a range of historic processes in book arts and photography, while others mixed and mingled on the gorgeous new deck that will soon serve as outdoor teaching space.
"The open house turnout was fantastic! Everyone clearly loved the hands-on demonstrations," said book artist Anastasia S. Weigle, whose work is currently on exhibit at MMW+C's gallery in Rockport. "The highlight for me was letting a child help me sew. We chatted about creating books, and I could see the romantic appeal of bookbinding in her eyes!"
Following the demonstrations, a full house gathered to listen to Mark Dimunation, Chief of Rare Books and Special Collections at the Library of Congress. Mark captivated our guests with a keynote presentation on the history and future of book arts, discussing how this art form continues to evolve as a dynamic venue for many kinds of storytellers.
"Mark's talk was a wonderful insight to a world of books that most people are not exposed to," said Liv Rockefeller, publisher of Two Ponds Press and member of MMW+C's Board of Directors. "We could see how books can become expressions for a host of ideas and emotions. The event sets a high bar to begin this bold new adventure for Maine Media Workshops."
The new studio has given us the opportunity to greatly expand our creative offerings. A student who takes a photo with an iPhone can use a specialized printer to create a digital negative, develop the image using hands-on historic techniques, overlay old letterpress onto the final image, and then bind multiple prints into a handcrafted book. "It's a perfect marriage of old and new," says MMW+C President Meg Weston. "Our school's mission is to educate and inspire visual artists and storytellers, and this new studio will house the tools and talent to bring our students' creative vision to life."
"The studio was built with students in mind," explained Brenton Hamilton, MMW+C faculty member and resident expert in historic and alternative photographic processes. "It is a bright, well-equipped working laboratory that will remove limitations for artists to be able to collaborate between disciplines and create new kinds of work in a stunning and well-designed space. These new studios will add so much to our thriving community."
The book arts side of the studio is complete with an amazing array of traditional equipment including two Vandercook proofing presses, multiple book presses, a photopolymer plate maker, composing stone and base, stamping press, bookbinding sewing frame and much more. The adjacent alternative process photography studio embraces the resurging interest in 19th Century photographic techniques including tintype, collodion, gum bichromate and calotype.
"I know of no other place in the world where the creative potential of using these historic processes to combine words and images exist in such close proximity," exclaimed Charles Altschul, whose vision for a book arts program at MMW+C began seven years ago, when he served as the organization's president. "I am so looking forward to seeing what wonders begin to emerge from the Haas basement. I expect that many an unsuspecting workshopper will walk up the hill, poke his or her head in the door and emerge a budding book artist."
Charles generously donated the beautiful book arts equipment you'll find in the new studio, and he'll also be teaching several of our new courses this summer and fall. "In a world where so many of us communicate, learn, work and even play in front of a screen for much of the day, people crave experiences that allow us to use all of our senses in our creative endeavors," explained Charles. "Maine Media is perfectly positioned to capitalize on this phenomenon. As digital devices become evermore ubiquitous, Maine Media can offer a haven where we still include the digital-but not by sacrificing the rich history from which it flourished."

June is a transitional time at Maine Media. We revel in the return of green grass, warm breezes and exuberantly talented seasonal staff, but we also say goodbye to our Professional Certificate students whose creative evolution kept us enthralled and inspired for the last ten months. With projects that crossed genres of photography, video, and writing, Maine Media's first cohort of Professional Certificate in Visual Storytelling graduates explored subjects ranging from Maine's farm-to-table movement to the underwater flora and fauna of Penobscot Bay to the existential states of the human condition.
We have confidence that our sadness will soon be replaced by awe and pride. Our PC graduates have a history of quickly transforming 30 weeks of knowledge into professional endeavors that leave us beaming. Right now, we've got our eye on class of 2014 graduate Corinna Halloran. A former professional sailor and racer, Corinna sought out our PC program with a singular mission: to gain the photography, video, and writing skills necessary to win a coveted spot as on-board reporter for a vessel competing in the around-the-world Volvo Ocean Race. Less than two months after completing the program, she achieved her goal. Corinna was recently awarded the position of On Board Reporter working with the Team SCA vessel.
In a recent 14-day transatlantic voyage with the all-female crew, Corinna was able to make use of her creative and technical training as she photographed and shot video in challenging conditions, and kept the world tuned in through her blog posts. "Everything that I learned in these two semesters has prepared me 110%," Corinna wrote to us before the journey. "There is no doubt in my mind that my success here hinges on the lessons learned at MMW+C. I feel so prepared having done the PC program."
While we follow Corinna's adventures from the relative safety of dry land, we look forward to welcoming back class of 2013 graduate Sujata Khanna. Working in the development sector in Delhi, India, Sujata sought to transform a photography hobby into a tool for storytelling and advocacy. She began her Maine Media experience in our eight-week Photo Residency Program, but soon realized how much more she could gain by staying on to earn her Professional Certificate in Photography. "I started seeing instead of looking. I started making images instead of taking images," says Sujata. "Cocooned in this magical environment and being able to concentrate solely on photography, without any distractions, came naturally in Maine. I lived photography. I breathed photography."
After earning her Professional Certificate, Sujata returned to India where she was hired by CARE International to photograph their Girls Education Program across India. She is also working on an independent project photographing Indian widows. "I returned to India with confidence and faith to implement everything my mentors taught me. I am a social documentary photographer, a visual artist, and a visual storyteller, and I will create awareness in my country about issues that matter to me," says Sujata. "There is a story waiting to be told at each corner in India, and I feel prepared to narrate these stories visually. Those nine months that promised to change my life truly did!"
It seems we never have to wait more than a month to see images from class of 2012 PC graduate Matt Cosby. If his work is not gracing the cover of Maine Magazine, he most likely has a gorgeous spread inside. Offered his first gig with the magazine while attending the opening reception for the PC graduation exhibition, Matt has gone on to have his images included in every edition for the last two years. Before joining the PC program, Matt had a colorful career as a musician, crisscrossing the country in a van with the alt/rock band Jeremiah Freed. When what was once little more than a photography pastime showed promise of becoming more lucrative than music, Matt sought out Maine Media on the advice of PC graduate and MMW+C instructor Tim Estep. "I really didn't know what to expect from the program," says Matt. "I learned to take risks and to get out of my comfort zone, but also to always stay true to myself. As artists and creatives I feel like we sometimes get inside our heads a lot. In the program I learned how to filter and channel my emotions to make better images, and how to let go and not be so harsh all the time."
Matt recently had one of his images published in Rolling Stone magazine, described as one of the "hottest live photos of 2014." Assignments to National Geographic Traveler Magazine and Boston Magazine have since followed, and we know there will be plenty more on the horizon. For the next generation of Professional Certificate students, who may be uncertain about what the future holds, Matt had this advice: "Be a sponge! Soak up as much as you can from the faculty and your peers. You just never know when you'll need that knowledge."
While the upheaval of the season sometimes feels like an emotional rollercoaster here at Maine Media, the endless pleasure of following our students' inspired careers long after they have left us make all of it worthwhile.
Each summer, our campus overflows with students of all ages and from all over the world. Their wide-ranging skill sets, creative vision, and personal history add to a diverse backdrop that enhances everything we do here. This year, we'll be able to reach out to an even wider range of visual storytellers, thanks to generous donations to our line-up of scholarship opportunities. With more than $50,000 available for tuition assistance in 2014, we're thrilled to bring the transformative Maine Media experience to more deserving students than ever before.
Two new scholarship grants are targeted to Maine teens. A three-year contribution to our Maine Youth Scholarship Fund came from the Bob Crewe Foundation, and a new fund aimed at attracting teens from culturally diverse and underserved populations in the greater Portland area was launched by MMW board member John Rosenblum and his wife, Carolyn. "One of the obligations of a non-profit institution like Maine Media is providing scholarship support so that our learning experiences are accessible to those who could not otherwise afford them," says John. "We know that our Young Artist Program empowers and inspire participants, and we want this next generation of visual storytellers to include men and women from all of Maine's communities."
For many teens, an early show of financial support can make a huge impact on a career trajectory. "My brother, Bob Crewe, has had an extraordinary career culminating in the success of the musical Jersey Boys," says Bob Crewe Foundation President Daniel Crewe. "In reflection, we recognize the many helping hands we both have had, and now wish to provide that helping hand to the talented young people who will attend Maine Media's Young Artist Program."
Professionals benefit from scholarship opportunities, too. Many of our students who receive tuition assistance are looking to give their careers a bump up to the next level. Last summer, writer and freelance videographer Lisa Wagner joined us with help from scholarship funds provided by the Mattina Proctor Foundation. Accustomed to working alone, Lisa worried about how she would fit into a group dynamic. "I thought I might be too old to be taken seriously, or that my skills might be too weak to accomplish much. All those fears proved to be unfounded," says Lisa. "The people in my class had a great mix of levels of training, experience, and interests. I am now more confident about what I can do on my own and much more confident about my ability to work with others." Lisa is currently putting her new skills to work on a multimedia cookbook project, as well as a collaborative documentary about the difficulties faced by those with state-committed family members living in group homes. "Before I went, I was thinking I might not make any more videos. About halfway through the week, I knew I would."
Film and multimedia producer Aditi Desai was able to take our Storytelling with Canon HDSLR workshop with the help of scholarship funds provided by gear sponsor Vitech VideoCom. The film she made during that workshop, Handcrafted in Maine, won a TIVA-DC Peer Silver Award for best pro bono project. "I learned how to work with the Canon 5D to tell a good story in a beautiful way," says Aditi. "Compelling images are at the heart of visual storytelling, and I use my workshop knowledge every time I go into the field." Aditi is currently working on a series of short films about local and sustainable farming. The first film in the series recently premiered at the DC Environmental Film Festival.
In addition to our General Workshop Scholarship Fund which is available to deserving students in all of our Rockport-based workshops and long-term programs, we also have scholarships targeted to specific disciplines. In honor of photographer and MMW instructor Arnold Newman, the Arnold Newman Foundation provides generous scholarship funding for adult and teen photographers. The Karen Van Allsburg Memorial Scholarship provides funds for emerging women photographers. Professional Certificate and MFA students are eligible to apply for tuition assistance from funds established in honor of photographer and MMW instructor Paul Caponigro as well as former MMW President Charles Altschul. Special funds are also available for teens from Central New York State or Camden Hills Regional High School. While some scholarships have rolling deadlines, others begin in late April. Be sure to check out the complete list of scholarship opportunities on our website.
