Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health
Biography of Wanda K. Jones Dr.P.H.
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Dr. Wanda Jones is the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health in the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She was appointed to the position in November 2009.
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health is charged with leadership in developing policy recommendations as they pertain to public health issues that cut across HHS agencies and operating divisions. The ASH coordinates research, programs and policy activities among its 12 core public health offices and various HHS components. As principal Deputy ASH, Dr. Jones actively participates in the Department's efforts concerning global health, disaster recovery, Healthy People 2010 (and 2020), and a range of other issues managed within ASH.
Dr. Jones has long been recognized for her leadership in the federal and state public health communities. From February 1998 until December 2009, Dr. Jones was the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health (Women's Health) and the Director of the Office on Women's Health, also within ASH. In that capacity, Dr. Jones emphasized the elimination of health disparities, addressing HIV/AIDS, supporting women with disabilities and helping women have better access to healthcare services and programs.
During that same time, the HHS Coordinating Committee on Women's Health, led by Dr. Jones, supported initiatives to address women's health issues such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, lupus, breastfeeding and mental health. Prior to joining OWH, she served as the Associate Director for Women's Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
A Penn State graduate in medical technology, she has worked in an inner city blood bank and its hematology laboratory; in a small town hospital as its night shift technologist and then as its microbiologist; and for a state public health laboratory as a laboratory improvement consultant. She obtained her doctorate in Public Health Laboratory Practice from the University of North Carolina.
Dr. Jones joined CDC in 1987 as an HIV laboratory trainer. In 1990, she became the Assistant Director for Science in the Office of the Associate Director for HIV/AIDS, where she was active in policy issues related to HIV laboratory testing, women and AIDS, HIV vaccine development and health care workers.

Fees increased, positions eliminated for budget
Date: July 16, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
Despite a $9 million shortfall in revenue, the city unveiled plans for a balanced budget for 2010 with no layoffs. But to achieve that, a series of cuts will be required, including one that City Manager Bob Bartolotta warned city commissioners was likely to generate a negative response.
Bartolotta is suggesting the city charge a fee for special-event permits, which have previously been free.
"It will impact these events in a big way," Bartolotta said. "This will be controversial."
Last year, the city issued 358 special-event permits. Bartolotta said it took 668 days of staff time to process those event permits, which equates to more than $220,000 in man hours.
Currently, the city has only charged event organizers for police protection and trash pickup, but Bartolotta is recommending the City Commission adopt a set of fees that would recover half of the cost it absorbs to process event permits.
The county began charging special-event fees about three years ago, and the city manager said the result is more groups are bringing their events to the city because it's free, which costs the city more in man hours.
City commissioners will get the final say on whether to impose the fee and how much it will be when they hold budget hearings July 21 and July 22.
They'll also decide on a number of other measures designed to keep the $162 million budget balanced (see PDF).
Bartolotta is proposing an across-the-board wage freeze that will save $1.8 million. A total of 30 vacant and retiring positions within 13 different departments would be eliminated to save $700,000. None of those positions is in the police department.
Also being cut is the program that provides paid vacation days for employees who don't call in sick or take part in an exercise program. That move is expected to save $300,000.
The city is also planning to implement in September 2010 a measure commissioners, staff and residents have been suggesting for a couple of years — one-day-a-week trash pickup. The savings would be $300,000, and it would result in no rate increase for property owners.

Change your Thoughts, Change your Life!Wednesday, April 15th, 2009
Dr. Deepok Chopra has said that "we think 65,000 thoughts in the course of a day." A majority of those thoughts are the same ones we had yesterday and we will carry them along with us tomorrow and the next day and the next day. My friend Melody Haines, of Mind over Matters wrote "Our minds get on a treadmill of letting our thoughts think us, so to speak, it happens in the background, unconsciously." The point is, unconsciously we are reliving the same fears, worries, angers and problems over and over again. A perpetual stream of uneasiness and stress that weakens our immune system, raises our blood pressure, messes up our arteries and causes illness and disease.
In his book Stress Less Dr. Don Colbert MD, talks about a psychiatry professor who was a former dermatologist that shared about the many patients he treated for psoriasis. He told him "that treating so many people with skin disorder led him to the conclusion that people were actually weeping through their skin." If our mind is continually replaying the same negative story over and over we will always be tense and feeling sick. Unless we make a choice to break the cycle by changing our thoughts we will become part of the 75 to 95 percent that the American Institute of Stress says visit there primary care physician's office for stress related disorders.
The secrets to reducing our stress:
1) You have to want to change
2) Be committed to change
3) Believe that changing your thoughts will change your life
Wanting to change:
If you want to change you have to consciously think it and say it. It is all about making up your mind that today is the day I will focus on my blessings rather than the so called misfortunes.
Robert Frost put it brilliantly, "I make my bed and make up my mind it is going to be a great day."
I read about a woman who lost her house and everything she owned in a tornado and while all of her neighbors were complaining she was singing praise that her husband and children were alive. It's your choice; to sing the blues or be grateful that you are alive.
Be committed to change:
You have to be committed to do what ever you can do to break the negative thinking cycle. One of the easiest ways to take a detour from stress promoting thinking is with a smile. Research has found that smiling is a great way to quickly change attitude and relax us. Mark Shibich PhD writes "smiling can work to counteract the effects of stress." Scientific American Minds Magazine in its May 2009 issue talks about a studies where patients who smiled actually showed more pain tolerances than others that were frowning. By committing to smiling in the morning and throughout the day you will as Shibich writes " trick: your body into believing that everything is good." This will eventually create a new thought learning curve that can help reduce negative thinking and promote a more positive thinking process. My friend Susan Stewart from Live Well Laugh Lots says, "When we are experiencing joy even for a few moments through laughter, our minds are completely focused on the present moment rather than regurgitating the past or predicting the future. Smiling promotes laughter and laughter is what Milton Berle called "the instant vacation" or as Steve Ayan writes, create a cognitive distance between yourself and the circumstances in a way that can be psychologically protective."
Lastly is that you need to believe that changing your thoughts will change your life….
I am living proof of someone who wanted to change his thoughts and changed his life; someone whose mind was filled with pessimistic thinking and failure driven thoughts. When my wife almost left me along with our first born, I had to make a choice-continue to ruin our lives both physically and emotionally or make a commitment to change.
Was it easy? No! Do I sometimes drift back? Yes! But everyday in good times and bad I still want to be better. I am still committed to smiling, laughing and healthier happier thinking.
Change your thoughts, change your attitude and you will change your life.
Don't wait start today!

Deep Link And SEO Search Engines
Deep Link And SEO Search Engines
After Google changed the algorithm last month, I started paying more attention to Search engine optimization. I have been studying it almost everyday, as I want to be ahead of the game. I have changed my professional SEO strategies, simply because I want to depend on myself for my search engine optimization. I realize social influence and bigotry is always chasing human spirit and self sufficiency is the most important key of doing things that earns self respect in my own eyes.
Since we all are born with a social instinct I still love my blog network and want to connect with them on a daily basis, they are my Internet family and I can not live without them.
So, today I want to write about my three days study on SEO link building. I studied in detail about all kind of links and how to use them for great SERP and seeing your pages on the top of the top page of the top Search Engine.
Noticed how many times have I used the "top" in the last phrase, 3 times. So this is the ultimate position for your blog where it can be.
WordPress blog usually have this position, but sometimes Google brings them some notches down to make the owner realize that you are not paying attention to your site.
The most important factor that determines the ranking of a post is by its contents and I have written a few post on that topic, it is time for another major search engine optimization strategy and that is LINKS.
Link in general is a connection between two related objects. In computer technology the word Link is used almost in similar fashion. A link connects to a
a. relevant topics
b. similar key words
c. a blog to another blog
d. a blog to a static site
e. a blog to an article
Links are used on the web from the beginning of HTML when all every one wanted to learn HTML. Links are very important for SERP, SEO and other important functions that determine PR.
Therefore, along with unique and quality contents, that you can produce on the web, links are your best friends for your blogs and ecommerce sites.
There are several kind of links used for this purpose. Most of us know about them. But I noticed that Deep Links have not been the topic of general discussion. So Today I want to talk about Deep Linking.
Deep link connects relevant keywords to related contents within your own site. This way you are using your own sites juice or equity for optimization. So what is the gain here, when you are not adding anything new to your site? We are energizing previously created juice to better SERP. In order to understand this you must first understand how website links affect SEO.
SEO is an extensively programmed, technology, and it is much more than just optimizing important segments of your blog structure. It has to do with calculations based on several formula variable, which are not open to a naked eye, that is as non techie as me. But common sense and logic can make us feel that these techniques are right.
Here is an example of it. Suppose I wrote a post on my site about "how to guest post", a while ago. Now after few months when I am writing another post on my blog and the topic is 'blog contents" and in order to give an example, I used the phrase "How to guest post" and created a link to connect both phrases, when Google indexes my post it places a vote to my current post for optimization, because of the similarity of the phrase. This is what is deep linking.
Incorporate your synergistic deep link building SEO strategy throughout your site, not simply to one or two pages. But link to various destinations of your site. Every site creates the density of these deep links, as determined by the owner of the site.
Some link expert believe that deep links are best once used within your site but at the same time some other SEO expert say that it can be used for outbound links to articles and other blogs. When you do it for the other sites, do it in partnership.
Plan a strategy and keep it an activity for the long haul, make sure to keep track of your links and do not ever send more out bound links than in bond. Quality and quantity matters. Less quantity and more quality with planned and effective relevant words. Deep linking with content pages is a very effective SEO. It is said this strategy is liked by your networking site friends as equally benefits both partners and much easier to get link this way, even from bigger sites than your own.
Major Benefits of Deep Links
Deep linking creates a wonderful impression for search engines as you are linking to relevant contents and through out the website, not just the home page of the site. As it is said that a link is like a vote and some links weight more and some less, when we deep link we deliver the message to Google and other search engines equally that we have important contents throughout the site and not just the home page. This increases the authority of the entire site which is the goal for online search engine optimization.
2.Deep linking increases the relevancy of the keywords chosen to link. By linking directly to all the pages with the special content or keywords as your anchor text you are increasing overall website's relevancy.
3. These deep links create a good website navigational structure that helps search engines to get the invisible pages indexed to improve over all visibility of the blog.
4. When people are searching to look for information, by writing the keyword, your deep pages can easily come up to be read for information. It will benefit you and the information seeker equally. As the information seeker will not have to go page by page to find the exact information that he/she is looking for.
5. Deep links will improve your website authority relevancy and visibility in the SERP. This will help you get the ultimate goal of your reader being satisfied with the information and revisit your blog to read more .
Deep linking is good but excessively deep linking is not a good practice as you know how easy it is to include over doing to spamming. Therefore be careful and use it in the following situations
a. Deep link when Url is relevant to the phrase or keyword
b. Make sure not to add too many deep links to one post.
c. Deep link and link out to others at an even ratio, or choose to add
less external links
d. Use it if you need traffic to all pages besides the first page
Deep linking is about gaining strategic advantages, not huge leaps ahead. Deep linking won't work overnight and it won't land you on the front page for competitive keywords. It is simply one more tool you can use to give yourself the upper hand in SEO battle.
Legally Deep Linking has been in question in several law suits involving some corporate disputes. Large corporations argue that deep linking unfairly eliminates that ability of the home page to continue to brand building and website ranking.
Deep linking is legal in Germany while debate continues in the United States. Federal court in San Francisco passed a law on July 14, 2003 against it in DITTO.com case. Big organization still don't feel very good about deep links. But small business and blogs use this Internet technology all the time for best ranking.

This is very relevant post considering the recent changes in Google Fran. I've used deep linking strategies for a couple years and have had some really good success with it. Thanks for the reminder!

Hi Fran,
How are you? I hope all is going good. Very good informative post.
I never new about Deep Linking before and what it means to SEO.
Just can't forget, it's good to have more internal links than out bound links and not to deep link excessively. 50/50 is ok too, if you must.
Thanks so much for this helpful strategy. The more one learns the more powerful they become.

Hello Fran,
Are you only talking about internal deep linking? Because, external deeplinks (that is those links from other blogs that link to deep page on your blog) can have a very big importance and seo, and are the most sought after links.
Usually a blog best assets are deeplinks, because this links represent the blogposts and promoting them is the wisest choice.
I wish you good luck with you new SEO strategy Fran!
Alex@Jocuri recently posted..Grija de Bebelusi
I personally use 25% external links and the rest internal, as I want to sore my blogs juice to optimize. ( this is based on my own understanding per my readings)
But deep links on a moderate basis are good for internal and external both.
Hi Fran
An amazing post on SEO and linking…I am totally blown away by this.
I knew a little bit about SEO and kywords etc but this look at deep link is all new to me, so really great and picked up a few tips.
As always its such a pleasure visiting your site.
Ah, now that's useful, Fran. I have often seen this used on blogs but never understood what it actually did. Now I will go to my blogs and create 'deep links'. Thanks for the tip.
Enjoy the journey.

Hey there;
Really enjoyed the article. Very informative Fran. Ya know, I thought I knew a lot about linking strategies before but after reading this post, I found out that I was still unaware of quite of bit of terms and strategies. I had never heard about the term deep links before. Now I know what it is about thanks to you Fran.
It is beneficial to have more internal links than outgoing links but I am not sure about the 50/50 ratio…shouldn't it be more like 80/20 ratio as this plays a great role in decreasing the bounce rate in your site.
Thanks Fran. Talk to you soon.

I remember when my blogging buddies taught me about this awhile back. And I have noticed that people are now clicking onto older posts to read them or staying on my site for longer to link to the other posts after reading the newest one published.
It definitely helps and I'm glad I was taught about it fairly early on in my blogging journey. Enjoyed your sharing about the importance of it in SEO. Thanks Fran.

Thanks for sharing nice blog post, i like it so much
This is a very nice explanation of deep links. And I like how you used examples of deep linking in your post.
Once I got the idea down it has be come part of every post I write. Of course it is much easier when I have older posts to link to.

Hi Fran,
As an aside totally off topic when you said "I realize social influence and bigotry is always chasing human spirit and self sufficiency is the most important key of doing things that earns self respect in my own eyes.", you reminded of an essay by Emerson on self reliance which had a profound impact on me early in life.
I always thought that deep linking was good because it kept the reader more engaged with one's blogsite so ,for me,SEO is an added bonus. The first blogsite I visited with any regularity was Steve Pavlina's on personal growth. There were so many links embedded in his posts that I was reading 5 posts before exiting. This is very useful and well explained! Thanks and hope you are doing well.

Hi Fran,
Deep linking is very important not only for SEO, also for humans, letting know other articles hidden, posted earlier.
Talking about interlinking, I think that some your internal links like http://www.franstips.com/?p=331 or other like the /?p=497 should have anchor texts instead of the numbers. This will result in a more natural way to link.
Have a great week!

Yup, deep linking from your pages is nice, but what's even better is deep linking from other websites. People make the common mistake to only link to their index (well, probably because it's easier), but linking to internal pages can make a kill, i've actually once seen a page with PR5 while the index of the website had PR4

From 10am till 5pm last Saturday, I experienced an unbelievable sense of non-stop adrenaline rush! I was surrounded by delicious food vendors, fellow-foodies, amazing chef demos and hopping music. It's was the annual Blues, Views and BBQ festival in Westport and I was helping out at the CTbites chef demo tent.
With an amazing line-up of chefs scheduled to demonstrate their cooking skills and to offer free tastings of their food to the general public – this was non-stop fun! Even the sweltering heat did not ruin it for me. If you sweat – you burn off calories. And if you burn off calories – you are allowed to consume more. Am I right?!!!
It was fascinating to watch each chef in action and to discern what each of them is all about. Nicole Straight of Festivities Catering is very professional, poised and organized. She made delicious grilled chicken and veggies and she took great care in her presentation. It was important to her to make the entire table look just right – right down to her promotional material. If you ask her to cater you next party – rest assured it will be done perfectly and deliciously.
Matt Storch of Match in SONO and Chelsea in Fairfield was up next. Most of us know that his food is to die for. He has a knack of creating unique flavor profiles in his dishes, pulling inspiration from many cultures around the world. What I realized about Matt that day was that he also a perfectionist. It is important to him that the food is cooked right and then served in the most appealing of ways. After all, you eat with your eyes first! He made delicious shrimp ceviche tacos. The warm and crispy tacos coming off the grill enveloping the cool, tangy, sweet and moist ceviche was a dynamite combination.
Everyone loves Helton DaSilva of Barcelona, Fairfield. And if you don't know him, you gotta do something about it. Vibrant personality combined with mad cooking skills make him a chef to watch out for. He demonstrated how to marinate and cook beef short ribs. Wow! What a simply prepared but amazingly flavorful dish. He brought with him four….yes! FOUR! dipping sauces to sample. There was the spicy red pepper chimichurri, the house green chimichurri, a chunky pepper and onion sauce and finally a truffle sauce.

Programs aimed at keeping UW students safe are having a hard time keeping up with demand .
The recent attacks on or near campus are leading to an increase in calls for services like Safe Ride or Safe Walk and students who work for those programs have a message for those who might be abusing them.
They don't want people taking Safe Ride cabs home, just because those people want to enjoy a night out drinking.
UW Safe employees say this is usually a busy time for them, because of finals ... there are just more people out and about.
Add in the two sexual assaults that have taken place in the last two weeks and a number of other violent attacks, and the Safe resources have seen a huge spike in demand.
So they're asking that students and staff use the service only when they really need it.
"When you're in a situation where you have no other way out of, no friends to walk you home or pick you up safely," said Jacob Hahn, SAFE program coordinator, "no money in your pocket, no credit cards, no way to pay for a cab."
If you can't find a cab, Safe coordinator Jacob Hahn says you can always call for a Safe Walk.
Which might be a good idea, because Hahn says they won't be able to use extra money to pay for more Safe Rides, since there is no extra money.
Their funding is a fixed amount from student fees.
If you do need a Safe Walk ... or Safe Ride ... the number is 262-5000.

It's the last hurrah of summer. Schools are back in session but Labor Day offers one last chance to enjoy a long holiday weekend before vacations become a memory. Whether you head to the beach or enjoy a backyard cookout, remember to protect yourself from the sun.
It's still hot outside and the sun's rays are just as strong. That means sunburn is just a big a risk as ever. Excessive heat exposure can also lead to heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Enjoy some Labor Day fun, but do so safely.
- Always use sunscreen, even when it's cloudy and reapply at least every 2 hours.
- Wide brimmed hats will help protect your ears and neck from the sun.
- Drink water throughout the day in order to stay hydrated.
- Wear appropriate light-weight clothing.
- Avoid strenuous outdoor activity in the heat. Take frequent breaks in a cool place

Timothy M. Kennedy's campaign for State Senate is getting a boost from Kelly Cline, a West Seneca mother who became an advocate for laws banning texting while driving after her son was killed in a 2007 crash.
Cline has recorded a phone message backing the South Buffalo Democrat in his race against Republican Assemblyman Jack F. Quinn III of Hamburg for a Southtowns Senate seat now held by William T. Stachowski, D-Lake View.
Kennedy, a member of the Erie County Legislature, worked with Cline to get that body to pass a texting-while-driving law that goes further than the version approved by the State Legislature.
"Hi, this is Kelly Cline. I've been advocating for safer streets and fighting to end texting while driving. Tim Kennedy has stood with me every step of the way," Cline said on the phone call. "When Albany politicians dropped the ball, Tim Kennedy made texting while driving a primary offense here in Erie County."
Listen to the phone message anti-texting crusader Kelly Cline, recorded on behalf of Democratic State Senate candidate Tim Kennedy:
Cline has led a personal campaign to reduce distracted driving since her 20-year-old son, A.J. Larson, was killed in a crash that was blamed on texting while driving.
Kennedy in a statement praised Cline's efforts to make the state's roads safer and vowed to continue to fight on behalf of public safety if he is elected to the State Senate.

I only finished 5 measly little projects in 2010. Five!
This year I'm doing better. Yes, I am. I said this last year too and I did even worse than in 2009. Crossing my fingers for 2011.
This morning I started Project #1.
I've been collecting 30's fabrics for the new fabric clubs and BOM in the store and itching to use them for something.
Aren't they pretty?

World University Games
From Openwaterpedia
noun - The World University Games, or formally The Universiade or informally in English as the World Student Games is an international multi-sport event organized for university athletes by the International University Sports Federation (FISU). Universiade is a combination of the words "University" and "Olympiad", and includes the sport of open water swimming (a 10 km marathon swim).
The first official World Student Games were organised in 1924 and were held under the auspices of the Fédération Internationale du Sport Universitaire (FISU) from 1949. An alternative event was organised by the Union Internationale des Étudiants (UIE) from 1947–1962, including one unofficial Games in 1954.
The 2013 Universiade will be held in Kazan, Russia.

TACOMA, Wash. - An endangered clouded leopard at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium gave birth to two healthy cubs - a male and a female - on Tuesday morning.
"The cubs are eating well and sleeping soundly," said staff biologist Andy Goldfarb, who has cared for exotic cats for over 25 years and was present at the cubs' birth.
The cubs weigh about a half-pound each. Zoo staff will hand-raise the cubs for the cubs' safety and will invite the public to vote on the cubs' names once the cubs are more settled.
In a few weeks, the cubs will move into the zoo's cub den, where visitors will be able to see them up close and watch staff feed and care for them. The cub den is a key feature in the zoo's Cats of the Canopy exhibit, which opened last summer.
Point Defiance Zoo participates in the Association of Zoos & Aquariums' clouded leopard Species Survival Plan, which oversees the clouded leopard populations in zoos worldwide and makes breeding recommendations based on the genetics of each cat. Fewer than 65 clouded leopards live in 24 accredited North American zoos.
The zoo has two other pairs of clouded leopards. Jao Ying and Chee Wit live in the Cats of the Canopy exhibit. Josie and Raja, who produced two cubs at Point Defiance Zoo in 2003, live behind the scenes at the zoo's Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater.

College costs loom large in the parental mind. According to a 2013 report by Sallie Mae, half of parents are putting away money for their kids' education. Those who aren't are fretting about it, saying that they feel "frustrated," "overwhelmed" and "annoyed" when they think about college savings.
But most parents will deal with an even larger kid-related expense long before college, and it's a cost that very few of them are as prepared for: day care.
A report by Child Care Aware of America, a national organization of child-care resource and referral agencies, found last fall that the annual cost of day care for an infant exceeds the average cost of in-state tuition and fees at public colleges in 31 states.
The biggest gap is in New York, where day care will set you back nearly $15,000 a year but in-state college tuition averages just $6,500 — a difference of over $8,000.
Maryland, Massachusetts, Colorado and Oregon also have large gaps. Maryland, for instance, is ranked fifth in the nation when it comes to the annual cost of putting an infant in day care, at $13,055. But it's in the middle of the pack with regards to in-state college tuition, at $8,220 per year. This means Maryland parents will pay nearly $5,000 more per year, on average, to put a kid in day care than they will to put the child through college.
At the other end of the spectrum is South Carolina, where in-state tuition is higher than the cost of day care by about $4,000 a year. This is in part because the state cut funding for higher education by 67 percent from 1980 to 2011, according to the American Council on Education, forcing parents to pick up the slack in the form of higher tuition.
In addition to differences in the size of their higher-education budgets, states rise and fall on the list because of variations in overall cost of living and — more importantly — the stringency of regulations and licensing requirements for day-care providers. Stricter rules may mean safer toddlers, but they are also likely to mean bigger monthly day-care bills.
Unlike the high cost of college, the high cost of day care may come as a bit of a shock to the family wallet. While couples have years to prepare for college costs, there is little if any time to save for child care. A baby is born, and parents typically have to go back to work in just a few weeks.
It typically takes 18 years to sock away a sufficient college nest egg. Considering that child care is an equivalent, if not greater, expense — and that the average maternal age at first birth is now 26 — this suggests that people should start putting away money to care for their future children by the time they're roughly 8 years old.
Sorry, kids: Half of your third-grade allowance is now going to be set aside in the day-care fund.
This may not be a realistic solution. But it does raise the question: How do people cover the enormous cost of child care? A report out Tuesday by the Pew Research Center finds that an increasing number of parents are simply avoiding child-care costs by staying home.
Nearly 30 percent of moms now drop out of the workforce or never enter it, up from 23 percent in 1999. For many families, it simply makes more financial sense for a parent to stay home with a young child than it does to incur thousands of dollars in day-care costs.
Who are these stay-at-home moms? Pew reports that just 5 percent of "U.S. married stay-at-home mothers (with working husbands) had at least a master's degree and family income exceeding $75,000."
"Stay-at-home mothers are younger, poorer and less educated than their working counterparts," Pew reports. " For example, 34% of stay-at-home mothers are poor, compared with 12% of working mothers. They are also less likely to be white and more likely to be immigrants."
This suggests that stay-at-home motherhood is primarily driven by people having too little money, rather than having the luxury of an expendable second income.
What can be done? For the college-bound, there is always the solace of myriad sources of potential financial aid for students who need or deserve it. Some day-care providers also offer sliding-scale payments based on income.
So far, however, no matter how smart the kid may be, there are no merit-based scholarships for day care.

Adult film legend Ron Jeremy on Jews in the porn industry, and what he likes--and doesn't like--about religion.
BY: Interview by Dena Ross
Watch a Clip of Ron Jeremy on "The Surreal Life Fame Games."
Ron Jeremy, 53, isn't exactly known as the most faithful Jew on the block. His fame comes from being the most legendary porn star in the adult film industry. He has starred in at least 1,750 porn films--a world record--and claims to have slept with more than 4,000 women. Jeremy says he's "fairly sure" of the existence of God, and that Jews are more accepting of sexual freedom than people of other faiths.
Two years ago Jeremy struck up an unlikely friendship with evangelist Tammy Faye Messner (Bakker), whom he met on the second season of VH1's "Surreal Life." And recently he participated in a nationwide debate with the anti-porn ministry XXX Church.com in which he argued that porn and faith both have a place in the world. Currently touting his new memoir, "The Hardest Working Man in Showbiz," Jeremy recently spoke with Beliefnet about God's role in a major car accident he had while with comedian Sam Kinison, and why so many Christians are into porn.
Was your family very religious growing up?
No. We're all Jewish. [My family] comes from
So you don't really practice your faith much today.
Not really. Once in a rare while I might go to a synagogue if there's something going on-- like a friend getting bar mitzvahed. But, as in the case of most of my Jewish friends, we're very, very proud to be Jewish. We feel the heritage, and we do enjoy some of the holidays, but we're not really that serious. I was a Reform Jew in the synagogue. We didn't wear yarmulkes or tallits, except during bar mitzvahs and during certain ceremonies.
Years ago you had a major car accident with your friend, comedian and actor Sam Kinison. And right before the accident you were talking about God and religion. Do you believe in God?
I think there might have been some amazing creator for a lot of things. I wish I could say I [believe in a creator] 100 percent, but I'm only fairly sure--only because I also talk to people who are really strong scientists, who find other reasons [for creation]. I think of [illusionist and comedian] Penn Jillette, who was describing this beautiful painting of the
[When I was in the accident with Kinison] we were discussing God, and I said, "I think I believe in him." And Sam, being a Pentecostal minister, he knew more about Judaism than I did. He'd studied all religions. And so then he swerves and goes over an embankment, slides upside down into a field, miraculously missing trees. Had we hit a tree, we probably would have been in serious trouble.
The car was upside down, so we crawled out of the windows. We might have been crushed to death. We picked glass off our faces and our bodies, and there was not one scratch, not an ounce of blood, nothing. And the first thing Sam says is, "Hey, Jeremy, you believe in God now?"
I said to him, "You go to great lengths of prove a point, Sam." And later on that night, Carl LaBove, Sam's opening act, and Bill Kinison (Sam's brother), said to me, "Sam wasn't the one proving the point."
That's some story. Any other stories in your book about religion?
There was a good story [about how] when I talk about my fear of death, I think about my cousin who died a hero [during World War II]. He had to change his religion to get into officer training. People don't realize there was anti-Semitism going on even on the American side. It was very hard for a Jew to become an officer.
So, my cousin Elliott switched his religion to Christianity. The name Weiss could be either a Jewish or Christian name, so he said he was a Christian. He wore a cross on his chest. Sure enough, he got into officer training school and became an officer and a pilot. Then, during the
What is the religious makeup of the porn industry? I've read there are a lot of Jews in porn. Is that true?
A lot of men in porn are Jewish [but] very few women. There have been many surveys on that. The survey shows that [Jewish women aren't in porn] because Jews always stress education. Take my family, for example: Everyone got a master's degree. Half my family have doctorates. You'd think that a woman going to college and getting a degree would rather use her mind than her body, even though you get paid more for the body. When [Jewish women] go to school and get all these degrees, they want to feel that they're using them somehow. I think that's one large reason. Another reason is their dads would kill them.
Porn is a wonderful career for girls who don't have a lot of schooling. A lot of girls in porn don't even have high school equivalency. Some girls do have a lot of degrees, but the lot of them do not. There are a few [porn stars] who are Jewish and are pretty well known--Nina Hartley, Robin Bird, Gloria Leonard.
Do you think Judaism is more accepting of sexual freedom and sexual expression?
Absolutely. Jews have always been considered to be the more liberal group when it comes to that. They never do the old "You'll burn in hell. Don't do this, don't do that."
Anyone who's religious usually has a problem with promiscuity. If you're very religious, no matter what you are--Jew, Christian, Muslim--then you have a problem with people being wild and crazy. But if you're not quite religious, then Jews are more accepting of sexual freedom and extramarital relations than other religions are. That might be why so many Jewish men are in the porn business---Ed Powers, Jamie Gillis, Harry Reems, myself, Mark Stevens, Randy West, Herschel Savage. I can go on and on.
You've traveled around college campuses with the Christian anti-porn ministry
On "Nightline," Martin Brashear interviewed the guys in
If they feel that a girl does not belong in porn, [and] they can lead her to the path of righteousness and Jesus Christ, well, so be it. Maybe she didn't belong in porn in the first place. Maybe if porn stars like
I like that

salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 plum tomatoes, peeled, de-seeded and roughly diced
2 tbsp snipped fresh chives
3 tbsp whipping cream (optional)
a few chervil sprigs, to garnish
Slice the soda farls in half horizontally and then cut into rounds with a 10cm/4in cutter. Place on a tray ready for toasting. Preheat the grill to high.
Finely chop the bottom 4cm/1½in off the spring onions. Place in a large frying saucepan over a moderate heat with one tablespoon of the butter, cover and sweat for one minute.
Cut the remainder of the spring onions into 4cm/1½in pieces and set aside.
Add all the prawns, fish and mussels to the frying pan and turn the heat up to high. Fry for about a minute and then add the wine, the remaining spring onions and a little salt. Cover and cook just until the mussels are open (discard any that do not open) and then add the tomatoes, chives and the cream, if using, and the remaining butter. Shake the saucepan gently to incorporate all the butter into the sauce.
Toast the farls and place one in the centre of four warm plates. Spoon the fish and seafood generously over with some of the sauce. Garnish with a few sprigs of chervil and serve at once.

Bone fragment of the man who declared Thelwall a 'city' found (From Warrington Guardian)

Bone fragment of the man who declared Thelwall a 'city' found
Updated 2:41pm Friday 17th January 2014 in News
A BONE fragment found in Winchester may belong to Edward the Elder, archaeologists say.
Edward famously declared Thelwall a 'city' in 923 after building a military fort there as a defence against the invading Danes. Evidence of which, can still be found on the outside of the Pickering Arms pub today.
The label continues to spark fierce debate, where some argue it has been mistranslated, others consider it to be the smallest city in the United Kingdom.
Edward the Elder became the king of England after his father, Alfred the Great died in 899 and experts believe the remains found belong to either Edward or his father.
Hyde900, the university and community group behind the search, helped to exhume the piece of pelvic bone from the 'unmarked grave', in the grounds of St Bartholomew's Church in Winchester.
The team is now calling for further excavations at Hyde Abbey Gardens as the hunt for more remains continues.

More Top Obama Officials Have Graduate Degrees From Oxford Than Any Public U.S. University
- By Brian Resnick and Brian McGill
- National Journal
- July 19, 2013
- Leave a comment
The 250 administration officials National Journal has selected as its 2013 "Decision Makers" are an elite group. That's not too surprising. Four years ago, when we conducted a similar survey, the most common undergraduate and graduate school for administration officials was Harvard.
This year, the findings are similar. As seen in the chart below, Harvard is still No. 1 for both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Overall, forty percent of Decision Makers have either an undergraduate or a graduate degree from an Ivy League school.
One striking fact: Only 25 percent of those holding graduate degrees in our sample attended public universities for those degrees. Oxford University, in England, is more common than any American, public graduate school.
The case that the Obama administration is elitist isn't helped by a map of where the officials grew up. Even more so than in the first term, Obama's administration comes mainly from the Northeast. Relatively few are from redstates, with only 18 percent growing up in a state that voted for Mitt Romney. Texas is severely underrepresented in the sample. It's the second-most populous state, but only four (1.6 %) of those surveyed grew up there.

Rumor Patrol: Slur Directed At Mila Kunis, Demi Lovato Leaving 'X-Factor,' More
December 21st, 2012 4:07pm EST
You can't go one week without hearing a ridiculous story involving some of your favorite celebrities. Thankfully, the Starpulse Rumor Patrol is here to sort out what's real and what's fake.
Mila Kunis Called A Slur: Ukrainian actress Mila Kunis may not be coming home for Christmas. Reports say politician Igor Miroshnichenko called Mila a "zhydovka," which roughly translate to "dirty Jewess" and is used in the country to disparage those believed not to act as "true Ukrainians."
Verdict: True. Unfortunately, it appears the politician actually posted the slur on a Facebook page. The Simon Wiesenthal Center blasted the politican and sent a letter to the Prime Minister that reads in part: "It is a tragedy that even after the Holocaust and the demise of the Soviet Union such hatred and anti-Semitism is still a force in the mainstream of your county."
Demi Lovato Leaving X Factor: Demi appears to be leaving The X Factor after she filled Twitter with a bunch of goodbye messages directed at her fellow X Factor judges.
Verdict: Probably False. "Just saying goodbye for the season," a rep told Gossip Cop. Unless Demi has to go on tour for a new album, it appears that she will be staying on the show for the foreseeable future.
Ke$ha Forced To Sing Die Young: Ke$ha claims that she was against singing the lyrics to her song Die Young, now that the tune has been pulled from many radio stations following the Newtown school shootings.
Verdict: False. Ke$ha herself has come forward to say she misspoke on the issue, and that she made the claim during an emotion time. She writes, "After such a tragic event I was feeling a lot of emotion and sadness when I said I was forced to sing some of the lyrics to Die Young. Forced is not the right word. I did have some concerns about the phrase "die young" in the chorus when we were writing the lyrics especially because so many of my fans are young and that's one reason why I wrote so many versions of this song. But the point of the song is the importance of living every day to the fullest and staying young at heart, and these are things I truly believe."
Chris Brown/Rihanna Shirt Sells Out: Did Chris Brown really make a shirt from this photo? And has he really sold out of it, at the price of $75?
Verdict: True. The shirt was originally $25, but apparently that was too good of a price as it flew off the shelves. The price was then hiked up to $75, but it still sold out!

LAVALE — In the world of highway construction, redesign happens, according to Tony Crawford, district engineer for the State Highway Administration.
"The goal, of course, is to have zero redesign, but it doesn't always work out that way," Crawford said Wednesday during an interview at the District 6 headquarters in LaVale.
The specific topic was the partial roundabout at U.S. Route 220 and Interstate 68 near Greene Street, its closure after problems were discovered and its future.
Crawford prefers the term "U-about."
Drivers leaving Cumberland via Greene Street or those exiting I-68 and heading south toward Cresaptown started to complain soon after the U-about was opened to traffic.
"The most complaints were from tractor-trailer drivers," Crawford said.
The most common complaint was that their large rigs tilted badly to the right and that the descent was too steep.
In addition, the constricted space allowed for what was in essence a tractor-trailer slalom maneuver that made for tricky mobility.
"Even before we opened it, we started to consider a redesign," Crawford said. "We had one of our better drivers take one of our tractor-trailers and test it. He didn't have any problem, but it didn't take into account the varying skill levels of other drivers."
The tires on the left sides of most tractor-trailers headed south would ride up on what SHA calls an apron, made of concrete.
The 3 percent slope of the apron and the 2 percent slope of the road surface created a noticeable tilt.
Combine that with the steepness of the descent and you know why drivers of the big rigs are required to have special operating licenses.
SHA closed the U-about in August.
"Since then, we brought in roundabout experts to help us with a redesign," Crawford said, referring to private consultants.
The concrete apron will be made level with the existing roadway so that all of a vehicle's tires will be on the same slope.
In addition, the roadway going downhill from the U-about will be elevated 7 feet.
The result, according to Assistant District Engineer Linda Puffenbarger, is that there will be less right-hand tilt and not as much forward lean to a vehicle negotiating the U-about.
"There will be no arc or hump (such as existed on the first U-about)," Puffenbarger said.
Crawford said SHA thinks of the financial part of a redesign not so much as a monetary loss, but as additional costs. Negotiations are under way with IA Construction to see how much that will be. The initial contract was for $3.2 million.
Work should begin in May and be complete by August, according to Devin R. Miller, SHA construction engineer.
Some of the overall project is done and will stay that way, and Crawford is pleased with the result.
Three prongs of eastbound traffic come together on I-68; vehicles from the interstate itself, as well as those from U.S. 220 and Brown Avenue.
"That is working very well," Crawford said.
"One of the advantages is that there is now a wide open view and motorists can more easily see the traffic that is merging," Miller added. The acceleration lanes from U.S. 220 and Brown Avenue have been lengthened, allowing, according to SHA, motorists more time to make adjustments for the merger.
An advantage of a completed U-about will be that drivers leaving Cumberland via Greene Street will be able to use it to swing seamlessly onto eastbound I-68.
Previously, those motorists had to continue south on U.S. 220 and find a place to turn around to make that happen. SHA estimates show that about 15,000 vehicles a day travel through the area.
"When you look at a design in the 2-D sense and not in 3-D it can look workable on paper," Crawford said.
There is computer technology that exists now that wasn't available when the U-about was designed that might make it easier for designers to spot a potential problem, Crawford explained.
"That way you don't have to wait until you start pushing dirt before you see that something may need to be changed."

OPUBCO, publisher of The Oklahoman daily newspaper, announced that it has laid off 46 employees today, the third round of layoffs in about two years.
I've gone on (and on) about my love for Mockingbird Manor vendor Luxe Objects in my ShopGirl column in Oklahoma Gazette. And now, the fabulous mother-daughter duo of Mary and Katharine Tabbytite has opened their own space. Swoon.
Luxe Objects just opened its doors in Nichols Hills Plaza last week, and it's full of the absolutely gorgeous decor, furniture and gifts that made me fall in love with their space at Mockingbird. Just a note: Although they've downsized at Mockingbird, they're still represented there.
The wares at Luxe Objects are eclectic — seriously, you'll find styles ranging from botanical to Asian to French — but there's a common thread to still make the space feel cohesive, not jumbled. Slick white and neutrals abound with pops of orange, blue, yellow and green. And, the shop has added some new lines (like jewelry and lotions).
As for me? I knew I'd love this space just as much at their Mockingbird space before I'd even set foot inside. Just outside the front door is an oversized, molded plastic chair styled to look like something you'd see at Versailles. Except, you know, in bright yellow plastic. So cool.
Look for more from this shop soon in my ShopGirl column.
Change the oil, pack the car and cue up the playlist, because it's time to head down to Austin for Music Christmas South by Southwest. I'll be down there Tuesday night all the way to the end in the wee hours of Sunday morning. Here's an audio and video approximation of how excited I am.
You can expect loads of SXSW coverage here at the OKSee blog. I'll be spending Tuesday, Wednesday and the first half of Thursday covering the Oklahoma Film and Music Office's The Buffalo Lounge. The fantastic people up at OF&MO have put together a lineup of 28 Oklahoma bands that I'm really excited to see. Expect photos, audio clips (of talking — music clips from my teeny recorder would sound like this), interviews, reviews, news bits, the whole nine yards. It's gonna be a blast.
I'll also be tweeting up a storm at twitter.com/okgazette.
From 6 p.m. Thursday onward, I'll be kicking it all over Austin, trying to catch the best and brightest new music the smorgasbord has to offer. I have several priorities (one of Braids' 9 shows, Typhoon, Matt and Kim, Rocky Business, Givers), but I'll be all over the place, reporting it as I hit it. I may even drink coffee to get me through this. My stimulant of choice is Red Bull, but at 10:30 a.m. Friday when I'm trying to get to a Chris Bathgate show at 11, I may have to call in the big guns.
Here's a whole bunch of SXSW info for those going/lusting:
• Official site
• Last.FM band aid, which will run your Last.FM account against the listings to tell you who you should see, which will make attendees drool and lusters weep
• Guardian complete band listing, with vids, streams, bios and more on each
• Bandcamp visualizer – about a fourth of the bands have music downloadable/streaming/available for purchase here
• Free iTunes playlist
Thanks to Pitchfork for alerting me to a couple of these links.

Coach 'til the end
Deerfield Academy teacher/track coach Jen Marino, who once held the Methuen High triple jump record, was deeply saddened by the death of her high school coach Bill Blood.
She wrote, "Bill has had a tremendous impact on my life. He was a great technical coach. I learned the value of practice and technique through him, and this benefited me immensely as an athlete and now as a coach. I always appreciated his sarcastic and blunt sense of humor. It would always put a smile on my face when he would randomly show up to my college track meets.
"After college, I had the opportunity to work with him as an assistant coach at (Phillips) Andover. His sense of humor and rapport with his athletes had not changed. He also always was quick to offer me advice, as it was my first year as a coach. Even as an opposing coach, he would continue to offer me advice and guidance."
