In Bill and Hillary: The Politics of the Personal, the distinguished historian William H. Chafe boldly argues that the trajectory of the Clintons' political lives can be understood only through the prism of their personal relationship. Each experienced a difficult childhood. Bill had an abusive stepfather, and his mother was in denial about the family's pathology. He believed that his success as a public servant would redeem the family. Hillary grew up with an autocratic father and a self-sacrificing mother whose most important lesson for her daughter was the necessity of family togetherness. As an adolescent, Hillary's encounter with her youth minister helped set her moral compass on issues of race and social justice.
From the day they first met at Yale Law School, Bill and Hillary were inseparable, even though their relationship was inherently volatile. The personal dynamic between them would go on to determine their political fates. Hillary was instrumental in Bill's triumphs as Arkansas's governor and saved his presidential candidacy in 1992 by standing with him during the Gennifer Flowers sex scandal. He responded by delegating to her powers that no other First Lady had ever exercised. Always tempestuous, their relationship had as many lows as it did highs, from near divorce to stunning electoral and political successes.
Chafe's many insights—into subjects such as health care, Kenneth Starr, welfare reform, and the extent to which the Lewinsky scandal finally freed Hillary to become a politician in her own right and return to the consensus reformer she had been in college and law school—add texture and depth to our understanding of the Clintons' experience together. The latest book from one of our preeminent historians, Bill and Hillary is the definitive account of the Clintons' relationship and its far-reaching impact on American political life.
About the Author
William H. Chafe is the Alice Mary Baldwin Professor of History at Duke University and the former president of the Organization of American Historians. The author of numerous prizewinning books on civil rights, women's history, and politics, he is best known, most recently, for The Unfinished Journey: America Since World War II and Private Lives / Public Consequences: Personality and Politics in Modern America.
Praise for Bill and Hillary: The Politics of the Personal…
"Chafe understands, as do too few historians and biographers, that the personal and public lives of political figures cannot be separated . . . [and he] is quite right to insist that the stories of Bill and Hillary Clinton prove the point."
—Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post
"Riveting . . . Chafe sees clearly what we who were there, chronicling the Clintons in real time, missed."
—David M. Shribman, The Boston Globe
"The strength of this book lies in Chafe's reconstruction of the Clinton's early lives and the way their connection affected the decisions Bill Clinton made as Governor of Arkansas and as President . . . [Bill and Hillary is] a welcome reminder of the great promise that the Clinton "co-presidency" initially held, and of the attributes, from Clinton's intellect to his willingness to engage on racial issues and his ability to connect with people, that made those of us who saw him sworn in truly believe, for a time, in 'a place called Hope.'"
—The Toronto Star
"Chafe . . . delivers a superior portrait of how the dynamic between Bill and Hillary Clinton affected their achievements in public life."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"An engaging look at the personal relationship behind one of the most powerful political marriages in the nation's history."
"An illuminating glimpse behind the scenes."
"General readers and political junkies will enjoy this reasoned account."
—Library Journal
"Not since Franklin and Eleanor has a power couple in the White House fascinated the public as much as Bill and Hillary. How did their personal journeys—especially their marriage—shape the Clinton years? For those of us who worked with the Clintons, this book, by one of the nation's best historians, brings a keen eye and fresh insights to the intersection of their personalities and their exercise of power."
—David Gergen, senior political analyst for CNN and adviser to four U.S. presidents
"A fascinating analysis of how Bill and Hillary Clinton's different family backgrounds and complicated marital history shaped their political fortunes. William H. Chafe documents how the personal relationship between these two brilliant but flawed individuals created blind spots and self-defeating behaviors that often undermined their ability to further the political and ethical goals they sincerely supported. Beautifully written."
—Stephanie Coontz, author of A Strange Stirring: The Feminine Mystique and American Women at the Dawn of the 1960s
"In this mesmerizing account, one of the most astute historians of our era pulls back the curtain on the struggles and passions of the world's most powerful couple. William H. Chafe takes readers behind the scenes to reveal Bill and Hillary as they have never been seen before."
—Elaine Tyler May, author of America and the Pill: A History of Promise, Peril, and Liberation
"In electrifying fashion, William H. Chafe reveals that the key to understanding the Clinton presidency is the tortuous relationship between Bill and Hillary. He shows that the First Lady's domination of the president because of his sexual misadventures brought about the failures of his first years in office, but also steeled him to survive subsequent disasters, conspicuously the Monica Lewinsky affair. For any reader seeking to unravel the Byzantine politics of the 1990s, Chafe's book is indispensable."
—William E. Leuchtenburg, author of In the Shadow of FDR: From Harry Truman to Barack Obama
"Only a writer as gifted as William H. Chafe could have written this splendid book. In luminous and page-turning prose, Bill and Hillary reveals how two strikingly independent individuals, each the product of difficult beginnings, together changed America and symbolized a new world for women. This is a deeply insightful and warmly empathetic portrait of personal ambition, a complicated marriage, and a powerful political partnership."
—Alice Kessler-Harris, author of A Difficult Woman: The Challenging Life and Times of Lillian Hellman

text: Juni 7 peterpanphoto: Since I'm so happy with my Sigma Art Lens 35mm f1.4, I couldn't resist to go to Munich to try the 50mm f1.4 The reason is simple: The first picture of this blog was shot with the "old" 35mm and you can obviously see that the proportions aren't realistic (a small wide-angle / fish eye effect). It is fantastic lens for street-photography but the 50mm just is more flattering when it comes to portraits. As you can see in all the other pictures below the first one, which where shot with the 50mm f1.4 The result: I'm again so impressed by the performance of that lens that I ended up buying it.

Italian Table Talk: Tiramisu for a celebration
It's crept up on us so quickly – one year of Italian Table Talk, the blog posts that once a month create a flurry of emails deciding themes, topics, recipes, often starting with, What are you making? and resulting in dishes and their stories as told by four girls with different perspectives but the same passion for sharing experiences, the traditions, the rituals of real Italian cuisine. It all started with bread, as I like to think any Italian... Read More
Braciuole nella scamerita, an Artusi classic
After a good five weeks away at our "other home" in Tuscany, Melbourne's autumn is being particularly kind in letting me ease into the idea that winter is on its way. With crisp weather that doesn't bite you if you don't do up your coat or you forget your scarf, trees slowly dropping their beautiful yellow leaves like slow motion confetti and even some gorgeous sunny days, the only thing I can really complain about are the shorter...

Spiced walnut linguine, a recipe that tastes of history
It goes without saying that Florence is a city that lives in its past. In every nook and cranny, history – a fantastic, unique history that influenced the way the entire world saw things – seeps out onto the well-trodden stone streets and into the every day. On some occasions all it takes is walking right through the centre of town, passing over literal layers of history in a square like Piazza della Reppublica, the spot where the medieval mercato...

Italian Table Talk: Breakfast in Florence & Crostatine
Breakfast is such a cultural eye-opener, at no other meal time do you get such a view of a place or a person than through their first meal of the day. For some, it's a strictly savoury affair, often resembling lunch or even dinner, for others it's always sweet or perhaps all it consists of is a cup of coffee. We've decided this month to make breakfast the topic of Italian Table Talk with Giulia whipping up a fresh batch of cornetti... Read More
Mascarpone cream and strawberry sauce
A week ago when we left Tuscany, the fridge was full of strawberries. Ripe, perfumed spring strawberries, so red, pretty and tempting that we couldn't help it – we kept buying punnets whenever we saw them. Needless to say, there were quite a few strawberries to consume before heading back to Melbourne's autumn. I've always appreciated how simple Tuscan desserts really are. Rustic, not necessarily pretty, and full of tradition,... Read More
Spring truffles & the perfect fried egg
It's not easy saying goodbye after a wonderful month amongst friends, family and good food in Tuscany, especially when time has flown so quickly and it seems we only just got here. Even though I'm a self-confessed autumn girl, it was particularly nice being back at this time of the year, spring, to indulge in plenty of those food cravings that I have for things that just aren't the same in Australia. Artichokes, for one. Yes, we... Read More
Ricotta & Dark Chocolate Cake for Zita
There are times when I'm struck by the urge for a piece of cake. Nothing fancy, or too rich or indulgent, just a simple cake that can turn a lonely cup of tea into the perfect morning or afternoon treat, a pick me up and a good excuse to invite a friend over to share it with. This is just that cake. Despite the rich-sounding ingredients in its title, this is a rather humble, plain cake, with a soft crumb, a slight denseness to it thanks to... Read More
Italian Table Talk: Braised artichokes with calamint
From Melbourne's Indian summer, I've been propelled into Tuscany's spring – and apparently I brought the warm weather with me. Though the trees are still bearing winter's naked branches, the hills and fields are covered in a brilliant green cloak, often dotted with flowers. Even the cracks of the concrete and stone footpaths of Florence are filled with chickweed (a fresh tasting leaf with a slight pea-shoot similarity, lovely... Read More
Smoked tuna and artichoke panini
This isn't so much a recipe as it is a memory, brought back to life while going through some old photographs and toying with the tempting thought of a quick visit to Venice again. The memory happens to take place at the Rialto fish market, which I always love perusing even if I'm not buying any fish, just to satisfy my curiosity. To me, it's as good as any sight to see in Venice, a living, breathing historical space of the city that... Read More

When: Thursday, April 10, 7 PM PDT
Where: Pauley Pavilion
Listen: Bruin Audio
Watch.: Pac-12 Networks (Bay Area)
To be certain of qualifying for the MPSF conference tournament, the tenth-ranked Bruins need to win their remaining two matches. If the Bruins (13-9, 16-10) lose to tonight's opponent--the unranked Cal Baptist Lancers (9-13, 10-15)--the possibility of a tournament berth probably vanishes. Therefore tonight's match is essentially another must-win situation for Coach Speraw's squad. (ICYMI, I've analyzed UCLA's postseason chances in greater detail here.)
After beginning last week with a bad loss to Cal State Northridge, the Bruins fought back with a 5 set victory over #7 Long Beach State. As well as keeping UCLA in the mix for tournament qualification, the Bruins gained some much needed confidence in their new rotation. It was a big win for a team trying to salvage a season that has been defined by a series of injuries to key players.
The unsung hero of the late season positional changes is senior middle blocker Spencer Rowe. Rowe has been moved to opposite to accommodate freshman Mitch Stahl's preference for playing in the middle. Stahl started the season playing opposite, played briefly as an outside hitter in the middle of the season, and is now back to the position he played in high school. Stahl's performance has improved with the move inside, and fortunately for the Bruins, Rowe's versatility has allowed him to slide over to opposite and thrive in the position. Against Long Beach State, Rowe finished with 19 kills and hit 0.400 for the match.
Robart Page continues to play through injury. It's unclear if Coach Speraw will rest him tonight in order to have him at his best for BYU on Saturday. Against Long Beach State, Page led the Bruins with 21 kills while hitting a solid 0.325. Gonzalo Quiroga didn't have one of his better performances against Long Beach State, but he still contributed 17 kills and two service aces.
Steve O'Dell's distribution is getting better as he works to regain the form he displayed before his injury. Against Long Beach State, O'Dell notched 67 assists, which is the most assists in any MPSF match this season.
Coach Speraw has been forced into a lot of positional changes this season as a result of injuries, but a recent unexpected maneuver appears to be purely tactical: freshman opposite Jackson Bantle has been slotted in at libero. Against Long Beach State, Bantle led the team in digs with 15 and had just a single error in receiving serve. Coach Speraw may choose to use Hagen Smith as libero against Cal Baptist, however he has to be pleased with Bantle's clutch performance in the crucial win over Long Beach State.
The Lancers are led in attack by junior outside hitter Johannes Brink. Although he is the favorite target, his attack percentage of 0.247 is unexceptional. A more difficult matchup for the Bruins comes in the form of 6'1" senior middle blocker Kristopher Johnson. His size and experience could be a problem for freshman Mitch Stahl and sophomore Trent Kersten, and he's an efficient option in attack (0.412) for Cal Baptist.
Cal Baptist is a decent defensive team with reasonably good blocking. Nevertheless, the Lancers shouldn't pose much of a challenge for a focused, motivated Bruins team striving to qualify for the conference tournament. If the Bruins play fundamentally sound volleyball, they should cruise to a three set victory tonight. Under the circumstances, anything less than that will be a serious disappointment.
The official preview is here.
Go BRUINS!

Camp Floyd & the Stagecoach Inn
Camp Floyd/Stagecoach Inn - Fairfield, Utah
Camp Floyd, established in 1858, was named for the secretary of war and commanded by Albert S. Johnston. It was the first military installation built in present-day Utah and formed the state's third largest community.
At the time of the Pony Express, Camp Floyd provided troops for protection against Indian attacks and served to keep the trail open for the Pony Express, stage lines, and other travelers. The Pony Express Station was a small adobe building that stood several hundred feet northeast of John Carson's Inn.
Though the Pony Express station has long since disappeared, the Inn still stands as the centerpiece of today's state park. The Inn has been restored and is open for visitation, the commissary building serves as a visitor center, and there is an interpretive wayside exhibit in the picnic area.Camp Floyd/Stagecoach Inn State Park

Avard Fairbanks' sculpture is a study in contrasts that symbolizes the interdependency of the generations—the rider depending on the station keeper to be there for him as the younger generation depends on the older one-an interdependence uniting young and old, and man and beast. More...

Aldermen of Jetřichovice are first mentioned in 1394, the fortress expressly to the year 1541 when it bought Petr Mitrovský of Nemyšle. Apparently for William Mitrovský (+ 1685), the fortress was converted into a small baroque castle. For Oppersdorf, Clary-Aldringens or Lobkowicz palace was apparently not significantly modified. From 1857 to 1859, the castle was substantially rebuilt in neo-Gothic style of Johann Nepomuk Kanka important patron and rector of Prague University. Kanka has also built an English park, the castle houses a rich library and an art gallery. After his death, the various owners and the House was paid only minimum maintenance. Since 1948, the castle is owned by the state and still serves as the home of youth.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

LIOE produces some of the Northwest's most popular festivals, including the Bite of Bend, Balloons Over Bend, The Oregon WinterFest, The Little Woody (Bend) and Big Woody (PDX), along with heart-pumping races like The Deschutes Dash, Haulin' Aspen, the Happy Girls Run series, The Salmon Run, and Snow Warriors.
The Big Woody
January 2015
The Big Woody was inspired by the Little Woody beer festival in Bend, which has drawn thousands to Central Oregon in the name of specialty wood-aged beers for the past five years. Beer was originally created and aged in wooden barrels, a traditional technique the Big Woody celebrates. Wood-aging beer gives the brew a deeper, more complex character with a higher alcohol content.
Oregon WinterFest
Friday, Saturday and Sunday, February 13th, 14th and 15th
Grab your friends and family for Bend's largest festival, celebrating all things winter! The snow-centric events will be bigger than ever, with a massive, re-designed rail jam brought to you by U.S. Cellular, snow and ice sculptures thanks to Subaru of Bend, more artisan fire pits than ever before, the OSU Cascades Snow Warriors Race presented by Fleet Feet, and all the live music, food, and family activities you love!

The Chastening: Inside the Crisis That Rocked the Global Financial System and Humbled the IMFby Paul Blustein
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Lauded by reviewers and scholars alike, Paul Blustein's The Chastening examines the role of the International Monetary Fund in the series of economic crises that rocked the globe in the last decade. Based on hundreds of interviews with officials at the IMF, the World Bank, the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve, the White House, and many foreign governments, The Chastening offers a behind-the-scenes look at the Fund during an extraordinarily turbulent period in modern economic history and at a time when the IMF has become the object of intense political controversy.
While the IMF and its overseers at the Treasury and the Fed have sought to cultivate an image of economic masterminds coolly dispensing effective economic remedies, the reality is that as markets were sinking and defaults looming, the guardians of global financial stability were often floundering, improvising, and feuding among themselves. The Chastening casts serious doubt on the IMF's ability to combat of investor panics at a time when massive flows of money traverse borders and oceans.
A readable, compelling account of the deeply flawed workings of the international political system, The Chastening is vital reading for students and scholars of international diplomacy, government, and economic and public policy.
Book News Annotation:
Blustein, who covered the financial crises and the IMF in the 1990s from his position as a staff writer for the The Washington Post), turned the story into a surprisingly engaging tale published in 2001 (also with PublicAffairs) and now available in this paperback edition. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
The breathtaking behind-the-scenes story of the nearly disastrous global financial crisis of the late 1990s and how the International Monetary Fund tried--and failed--to stem it
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Lauded by reviewers and scholars alike, Blustein's "The Chastening" examines the role of the International Monetary Fund in the series of economic crises that rocked the globe in the last decade.

Have an great and empowering day, Juliann DiNicola
In our last GSA meeting, our principal come in to participate and listen to what our GSA does and what ideas we have for Day of Silence. He was very supportive of our group and of the Day of Silence, and made many of us feel reassured that we could pursue and educate other students and teachers on an issue that has significant meaning to us.
We had the opportunity to ask him a ton of questions, like: "Can we wear Day of Silence gear?" "Can we show a video during the announcements and have discussions about what the students saw?" And, "Do teachers have the right to make students participating in the Day of Silence talk in class that day?"* We were able to show our principal different videos, including the GLSEN video with Wanda Sykes, and he was able to give us more information and insight on what would be allowed in our school for that day.
Our GSA will be creating a formal proposal to give him, but we now know we are allowed to participate in the Day of Silence with the support and confidence of our principal.

*Make sure you know your rights before participating in the Day of Silence
Over the past 4 years attending my high school in the suburbs of New Jersey, I have seen many students and faculty members participate in the Day of Silence. To be honest, when I was in middle school, and even high school, I believed students used this day to just get out of participating in a class that they did not like, but as I learned more about this day, I realized silence signified something so powerful.
In my school, every year a week before the Day of Silence, high school students visit middle school classes to discuss LGBT issues, bullying, and the day of silence itself. This day is called The Day of Acceptance. This past Thursday, I decided to participate in this event, and the response I received from the 8th grade class could not have been more positive. We discussed what it would feel like keeping one's identity a secret, and we also discussed how to not be a bystander when bullying happens, but an up-stander. The ideas and comments that were coming from these 8th graders were so mature and supportive. Because this class was so responsive, we went on to discuss the Day of Silence. I was happy to find out that the middle school already knew about this day and what it meant, and I was also happy to learn that acceptance and maturity about the topic of sexuality has increased since the time I was in middle school, which was not even so long ago.
Although there are not many out students at my school, there are many straight allies, like myself, that are willing to advocate for those voices that could not be heard today. Overall, I think that only good can come out of the Day of Silence. Each year I see more students participating, more students becoming aware of LGBT issues, and more students showing their support. The enthusiasm is spreading, and this year will be my first year participating in the Day of Silence. I have always thought about doing so, and although I am already a senior at my school, it is better late than never.
As a high school senior, I look back on the times at my school, and I am so proud that so many people stay silent throughout this day to signify the silence that many people in the LGBT community, especially teens in high school, are subjected to because of their sexual orientation. Even though I see some students begin to talk toward the end of the day, it just shows how hard it is to be silent. I have spoken to students and faculty about their silence and they all say how difficult it is to not express themselves for just one day. That one day of silence can signify a lifetime in the eyes of someone who is closeted, bullied, or a part of the LGBT community. One day is definitely not too much to ask because just one day of being silent can help and support others around the world to find their voice to speak up.
GLSEN's Day of Silence is approaching! Have you ordered your Day of Silence merchandise yet?

Next Friday, April 19th, hundreds of thousands of students will participate in GLSEN's 18th annual Day of Silence, a student-led day of action to raise awareness about anti-LGBT bullying, harassment and discrimination. The student participants and their supporters believe that LGBT students deserve to go to school in a safe and respectful environment.
Sadly, not everyone agrees.
Once again, anti-LGBT extremist Linda Harvey is on the attack — demonizing LGBT people, misrepresenting the Day of Silence's purpose, and in some cases telling outright lies.
Hear what she has to say while learning the real facts behind Day of Silence and GLSEN's work to create safer schools in this video:
We are happy to announce that we have completed the judging process for the 2013 Creative Expression Contest for No Name-Calling Week. The competition was tough this year with submissions from all over the country. After much debate, we are excited to announce, that Larchmont Charter Elementary School is the winner!
The judges loved the way Larchmont creatively connected social justice leaders throughout history to the NNCW mission. Civil Rights heroes featured in the mural faced bullying and were consistently called names, but they responded with nonviolence, setting an example for every student. Larchmont's "mosaic mural aims to represent visually that each and every student plays a part in achieving a school culture of nonviolence and peace where there is no place for bullying or name calling." Larchmont has made a clear commitment to ending name-calling and bullying. We will reward this effort with a No Name-Calling Week Prize pack. For their efforts, Larchmont will receive:
- A No Name-Calling Week plaque
- 27 books from the Simon and Schuster Children's Library
- T-shirts
- Tip sheets
- Wrist bands
- Buttons
- DVD of "Speak Up" a documentary introduced by Barack Obama
- DVD of Cartoon Network PSA's
- DVD of Anderson Cooper specials
- Stop Bullying: Speak Up posters
- GLSEN's Safe Space Kit
- GLSEN's Ready Set Respect
Once again, congratulations to all of the participating schools. You should be proud of the effort you have made to end name-calling and bullying in your community.
Update: The Rutgers Athletic Department announced this morning that they have terminated the contract of Mike Rice.
Like many, I watched the recently aired video of Coach Mike Rice and the Rutgers University's Men's Basketball team in disbelief. Of course this was not the first piece of evidence that suggested to me that there is much work to be done in combating anti-LGBT attitudes and behavior in sports, but this perhaps more than other examples showed just how pervasive the culture of dis-respect in sports is and how casually common anti-LGBT language is hurled around on courts and fields and in locker rooms and arenas, including those in K-12 settings.
Findings from GLSEN's 2011 National School Climate Survey confirm that LGBT students experience discrimination and harassment in school sports. Over a quarter of LGBT student athletes reported having ever been harassed or assaulted while playing on a school sports team because of their sexual orientation or gender expression. What's worse is that they and their teammates experience that this is okay (and in the case of Coach Rice may even be rewarded with coaching positions in big-time college sports programs).
Watching a local news channel interview a former RU player who dismissed the coaches' behavior as nothing out of the ordinary made me refocus my gaze as I watched the video footage again – this time focusing less on the coach but more on the team members and their reactions (or non-reactions). They seemed to respond in a way that said to me that this was not new to them (from this or other coaches they had played under).
As we do at GLSEN, my thoughts then turned to K-12 school sports as I imagined these players first as student athletes learning to accept or even expect such treatment from their coaches and then as current or future coaches of youth sports themselves either replicating that behavior or choosing something better for their athletes. I wondered if they, and the hundreds of other players Coach Rice has had the opportunity to model appropriate coaching behavior for over the years, would choose to coach differently. I hoped that they would instead of choosing to follow in Coach Rice's footsteps they would instead choose to use the tools that GLSEN has created for just this purpose as part of Changing the Game: The GLSEN Sports Project. I hoped that they would take to heart the first recommendation from the Game Plan for Coaches that Coach Rice seems to have missed in his training which is "Be a visible and active role model of respect and fairness for your team." This is how the coach of a winning team behaves.

As a middle school student, I faced many challenges trying to organize a Day of Silence event at my school. I faced resistance from school administrators and people in the community. In a perfect world, schools would recognize the need for events like the Day of Silence, as well as how important it is that students have the right to hold events like it. This is not always the case, and it wasn't for me.
I decided to hold a Day of Silence event at my school because it was a place where students needed to be educated about people whose identities and experiences are different from their own. Having this awareness can prevent the use of hurtful language and a hostile school climate.
I saw the Day of Silence as a perfect opportunity to say to my peers, "Hey, let's stop for a second and think about the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students in this school. Let's think about the gay or transgender jokes and slurs we hear in the hall or on the bus. Let's think about how school policies and the actions of students and staff can help to shape a school environment where either some students feel like they are silenced by bullying or can't speak up because no one will listen or understand. Let's create an environment where everyone feels free to have their own unique voice and be themselves, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity."
Because of the challenges I faced, I was not able to organize a successful Day of Silence in middle school, which was definitely a disappointment. But the good news is that, despite this fact, I don't regret my many attempts at doing so. One thing I did get to do is start a conversation with my school administrators and even some students about the need for education and action to ensure that everyone can learn in a place where they feel respected and valued, every day.
This year, I am a freshman at a high school in the same district that is much more supportive of events like the Day of Silence. I've started a GSA, which has already hosted a successful Ally Week, and I am more than a little bit excited about our very first Day of Silence this April 19. I hope that it will be a day where my fellow students and I can reflect on what a loss it is for voices around the school to stop for even one day. But more than that, I hope it will be a day that sparks discussion and change for the rest of the year and beyond, as we join the millions of students, educators, and community members who are already taking so many steps to break the silence faced by far too many LGBT students. I hope that no one ever gives up on trying to participate in the Day of Silence, starting a GSA or changing policies at their school.
Because it may be really hard—just like staying silent for a whole day (and I'm a talker, so I know it's tough)— but it can also bring a lot of people together to produce incredible understanding and change. And isn't that what the Day of Silence is really all about anyways?

Sultana High School is censoring and discriminating against its Gay-Straight Alliance. The Hesperia, CA school is limiting the GSA from using LGBT-inclusive language and participating in activities like GLSEN's Day of Silence and Ally Week.
Today is the first school day since news broke last week during Spring Break that the ACLU of Southern California sent a letter demanding the school district stop discriminating against the school's GSA.
Tell them that they are not alone
As they return to school today, the GSA members could face retaliation for their decision to stand up to their school district.
Along with our partners at the ACLU Foundation of Southern California, It Gets Project, and the California-based GSA Network, we want to send a clear message to Sultana High GSA members as they head back to school:
We are proud of you and we've got your back.
Will you join us? Click here to send your own message to the brave LGBT students and allies.
They believe that every student deserves to be safe and treated with respect, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Help us show them that people all across the country stand with them against discrimination.

Acute Care
Is the integration of urgent, emergent, inpatient and
care of patients with
acute medical conditions.
By Jeff Bass, MD
On my first day of medical school, during introductory lectures, the dean said something that seemed a little radical:
"At least 50 percent of everything we teach you in the next four years is going to be proven wrong at some point in the future. The only problem is, we don't know which 50 percent that is."
Those words are particularly salient today as our system begins its shaky transition away from fee-for-service toward population health management. Today's physicians must adapt and evolve not only clinically, but in the realm of care delivery as well.
By Tiffany Hackett, MD, MBA, FACEP
Four years into healthcare reform, change fatigue is pretty common among healthcare providers. We're overwhelmed with metrics and mandates. We're held responsible for patient outcomes we sometimes feel helpless to control.
On top of it all, we're expected to provide excellent customer service. The patient experience piece often draws resistance from change-weary providers. After all, they're providing excellent clinical care. Isn't that enough?
As a practicing emergency physician, I definitely have empathy for this viewpoint. But recently, a colleague told me a story that really drives home the link between patient experience and outcomes.
With Joanne Barnett, RN, MSN, and Curt Cabral, RN, JD
Nurses are a key part of the acute care team who play a crucial role in redesigning healthcare delivery. This week, Reform Realtime is pleased to welcome Joanne Barnett, Director of Adult Inpatient and Emergency Services at Pomerado Hospital in Poway, Calif., and Curt Cabral, Clinical Director of Emergency Services at Natividad Medical Center in Salinas, Calif., to talk about the changes taking places at their hospitals and the role nurses play in improvement efforts.

Reducing complications (and ultimately morbidity and mortality) among hip fracture patients is a crucial quality goal for many hospitals. Here's how John Muir Medical Center – Walnut Creek (Calif.) achieved excellent outcomes for hip fracture patients using a unique interprofessional approach.
The following post is adapted from a poster presented at CEP America's 2013 conference.
By Gary Li, MD, FACEP
These days, we do not really need to be reminded that the landscape of healthcare is changing rapidly. One clear trend is toward the increasing employment of physicians. This includes employment by hospitals, hospital health systems, medical groups, and other entities.
Merritt Hawkins, a national physician recruitment and consulting firm, recently released its 2014 recruitment survey. The results are astounding — less than 10 percent of recruiting searches from April 2013 through March of 2014 were for independent practice positions, such as solo practice or partnerships. (Contrast that with 2004, when 45 percent of job openings were in independent practices.) Of the remaining 90 percent of searches, a large majority were for employed positions.
What accounts for this trend? It seems there are both healthcare-specific and cultural forces at work. I think these are most conveniently divided into hospital/health system and physician categories.
First, let's look at the hospital side. In an environment of decreasing reimbursement and increasing regulation, hospitals and health systems are under immense pressure to improve operational efficiency, quality and service. They see employment as one pathway to improve physician alignment, which is imperative to reaching these goals. They also see physician employment as an effective means to ensure physician involvement and leadership in team-based care. And in the face of intense competition, they are aggressively trying to increase market share — and they need physicians and their practices to do so.
By Joshua Tamayo-Sarver, MD, PhD, FACEP
It's halfway through 2014, and the Reform Realtime data set has matured considerably. This means we're now able to make more meaningful comparisons by controlling for factors like month, year, hospital and geographic location. We're also able to more confidently identify patients covered by state and federal health exchanges.
Being a numbers guy, I'm really excited about this. I've been really curious about the impact of reform on ED volumes (which appear to be rising) and reimbursement (which we all hope will rise).
But as often happens with data, once I started running ours through computer models, I found something unexpected, but equally interesting:
Patients covered through state and federal health exchanges were more likely to present to the ED with high-acuity conditions.
In fact, their overall acuity (on a 5-point scale) was 4.10 versus 3.98 for the non-exchange population. These numbers hold even when controlling for factors like gender and age.
By Jim Strafford, CEDC, MCS-P
In a 2013 Acute Care Continuum Blog post at Perspectives, we discussed the issue of pediatric ED providers undervaluing their services through incomplete documentation and inaccurate use of evaluation and management (E/M) codes.
But lately in our audit practice, we've also noticed that another service, critical care (CC), appears to be underreported by providers working in pediatric EDs.
What exactly is critical care?

Comments about Meade Deep Sky Imager DSI Fan Accessory:
The fan uses 8 AA batteries or you can use a Meade power supply. I would have gladly paid a little more for an included plug in power supply or 'onboard' battery pack. I haven't had the chance to use mine yet, but I really want to test Meade's claim that it lowers the internal temperature by up to 6 degrees. If this is true, awesome! But I have a feeling it won't do too much. It's not a peltier cooler. This fan simply draws in outside air and moves it across the back of the DSI heatsink. Hopefully it works as advertised. Any reduction in temperature helps.

Comments about Meade Deep Sky Imager DSI Fan Accessory:
I have been using the Meade DSI since it's introduction. One of the first beginner CCDs that was "air" cooled. This fan cools the CCD chip as to reduce noise and creat better images. this is a must have for anyone who has the first generation Meade CCD DSI. Operates with 4 'AA'. The only drawback is the fan is either on or off. Get it.....use it and see the difference in your images. I promise....
