Dave Matthews Biography
Dave Matthews Biography on Monsters and Critics
"David John Matthews" (born January 9 1967) is a South African, now naturalized American, Grammy-winning lead vocalist and guitarist for the Dave Matthews Band. He has also worked as a solo artist and with other musicians such as Josh Groban, most often with Tim Reynolds. An occasional actor, he has appeared in three feature films.
Early life
Dave is the third of four children born to John and Val Matthews. At age two, Dave's family migrated to Yorktown Heights in Westchester County, New York, where his father, a physicist, went to work for IBM.
In 1974 the family again moved to Cambridge, England for a year before returning to New York-where his father died from lung cancer in 1977. Nevin Martell argues that his father's death may be an impetus for his 'carpe diem' lyrics. The family moved back to South Africa in 1980.
Upon Dave's graduation from St Stithians College high school, he faced a requirement by the South African government to put in two years of compulsory military service. Coming from a devoutly Quaker family, military service was not an option.
Dave would move to Charlottesville, Virgina, a town Dave's family had lived before he was born. It was in Charlottesville, Virginia that he became part of the local music community. Pursuing various interests, Matthews tried his hand on stage, acting in various local productions. While enthusiastic for music, and a popular bartender at a local watering hole called Miller's, Matthews was intimidated by the quality of the local musicians and largely shied away from performing publicly. But local star (and future collaborator) Tim Reynolds finally goaded Matthews to join him on stage one night, and Matthews stunned the audience with his performance. This eventually led to his first professional musical gig at a modern dance performance by the Miki Liszt Dance Company, singing 'Sensitive Feelings,' composed by John D'earth and Dawn Thompson. In 1990 he hatched the idea to form his own band.
In 1994, Dave's older sister, Anne, was murdered in a domestic tragedy that also took her husband's life in South Africa - an event that has had a drastic effect on Dave's outlook on life. Anne is survived by her two children, who, upon Anne's death traveled to America, where Dave and his younger sister Jane took responsibility for their upbringing.
Formation of Dave Matthews Band
Matthews had originally envisioned someone else singing his songs but instead decided to use his own vocals. Yet after writing his first few songs, including 'The Song that Jane Likes' and 'Recently', he began to consider starting his own band. Matthews formed The Dave Matthews Band in early 1991 with Boyd Tinsley, LeRoi Moore, Carter Beauford, Stefan Lessard, and Peter Griesar (who left the band a short time later) while he was working as a bartender at Miller's in Charlottesville. The band's first show was on April 20 1991, at the Earth Day Festival in Charlottesville, Virginia.
They began booking gigs on local stages and to date did not have a name. They considered "Dumela", the Sotho African word for hello, but no real enthusiasm was ever felt. They dropped the idea. It is reported that someone from the band telephoned a place where they were booked and said to 'just write Dave Matthews and a band will show up.' The person receiving the call wrote 'band' after the name, and consequently it stuck.
Originally receiving his musical training on piano, Dave Matthews took the aquired knowledge with his musical skills and transfered them over to the guitar. Such quality of musicianship allows Matthews to write the music first to his songs, before writing his lyrics.
In the late 1990s, Dave Matthews was a guest at two Rolling Stones concerts. He helped DMB manager Coran Capshaw found ATO Records in 2000, and he remains one of the principals of that label. Matthews sang on the track 'Sing Along' on Blue Man Group's second album "The Complex" in 2003. Later that year he released a solo album, "Some Devil", which went platinum; its single, 'Gravedigger,' won a Grammy Award in 2004. To support the album, Matthews toured with a group of musicians (most of whom performed on "Some Devil") under the name Dave Matthews & Friends. This side project of Matthews continues to be active when DMB is on hiatus.
Matthews is also a close friend of Bela Fleck. Matthews appears as a guest vocalist on Bela Fleck and the Flecktones' 1998 release Left of Cool and both Fleck and Flecktones bassist Victor Wooten have made numerous appearances both live and studio with DMB. The Flecktones also opened for DMB on several tours.
Matthews appeared solo and sang 'Everyday' on the post-September 11, 2001, worldwide televised telethon, 'America: A Tribute to Heroes.'
Matthews recorded a live session at Abbey Road Studios for Live From Abbey Road on the 14th May 2006.
Dave and Tim Reynolds recently did a three show tour performing at the Wang Theater for Performing Arts in Boston, MA, the campus of University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and a much anticipated show at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. The dates of these shows were April 20, 21, and 22, 2007. The show at Radio City Music Hall (April 22, 2007) in New York City has been released as the first Dave and Tim CD/DVD combination set.
Dave Matthews has also acted in three feature films, with a fourth on the way. He played Will Coleman in the 2003 adaptation of the novel "Where the Red Fern Grows". He also portrayed the character Otis, the timid and shy cousin of the owner of a small pet-shop for which he is caring, in the 2005 film "Because of Winn-Dixie", which was based on the novel of the same name. In 2007, Matthews appears briefly in the movie "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" where he plays a homosexual salesman. His next film is Lake City with Sissy Spacek and Troy Garity.
Dave Matthews was an invited guest for season 3 episode 15 ('Half-Wit') of the FOX drama series "House M.D." which aired March 6th, 2007. Dave played a piano-playing musical savant named Patrick Obyedkov who ended up having half of his brain removed in order to recover from his mental retardation, but at the expense of his musical abilities. Patrick's father, Dr. Obyedkov (played by Kurtwood Smith), gave consent for the operation to proceed as he desired ultimate happiness for his son. Dr. Obyedkov reasoned that true happiness could only be experienced in a self-aware state of consciousness which Patrick had lacked since his accident when he was 10 years old. Matthews had a piano double for his complex pieces but played the simpler pieces. "House" star Hugh Laurie played all of his own piano parts.
Dave Matthews record label ATO also recently branched out into the film industry with the company's first feature film 'Joshua'. Dave Matthews also wrote and performed a song for the ending credits of the movie called 'The Fly'.
Farming and wine
Since 2001, Matthews has been one of the directors of Farm Aid along with Willie Nelson, John Mellencamp and Neil Young. Matthews owns 542 hectares (1,340 acres) of farmland near Scottsville, Virginia named Maple Hill Farm, where he grows organic vegetables, flowers, and herbs through a community-supported agriculture program. Close to the farm, Matthews maintains the 1.6 hectare (4 acre) Blenheim Vineyards which utilizes gravity flow and other gentle winemaking techniques.
Personal life
Matthews married his long time girlfriend, Ashley Harper who was a naturopathic doctor, on August 10, 2000. The couple has twin daughters, Stella Busina and Grace Anne, born on August 15, 2001, and a son, August Oliver, born on June 19, 2007, at their home in Seattle, Washington.
Matthews and his band performed a free concert for the Virginia Tech student body and faculty on September 6, 2007. They were joined by John Mayer, Phil Vassar, and Nas.
The whole concert lasted 6 hours and more than 52,000 people attended.

Main road near Carlisle closed after bus catches fire
Last updated at 11:25, Thursday, 08 November 2012
Fire severely damaged a Stagecoach bus on the A7 between Blackford and Harker, near Carlisle.
A passenger on the 7.10pm Dumfries-Carlisle service noticed smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle and alerted the driver who stopped and evacuated the bus.
Nobody was injured but the fire took hold.
Firefighters say the back of bus was destroyed. Two fire appliances from Carlisle attended the blaze, which closed the road.
Melted plastic had to be cleared from the carriageway. The A7 re-opened just after 10pm.
Stagecoach sent another vehicle to rescue the stranded passengers.
A spokesman said: "There was an incident on one of our buses operating on Service 79 yesterday evening. An investigation has started to determine the cause of this incident.
"Our driver promptly evacuated the vehicle, there were no injuries sustained by any party. We would like to reassure our customers that such incidents are extremely rare and that our investigation into the cause will be thorough and that all such matters are reported."

I've been searching and lurking for for a few weeks. OK here's how I got here. About a month and half ago my wife traded her car in on a brand new Acura MDX and picked it up from the dealership after they installed all the aftermarket goodies that my wife wanted. Well she proudly picked up her and brought it home to show off around 6pm... I played with all the electronic goodies of course :) It was about 9:00 when we closed the garage and settled in for the night. Around 3:15am my wife was awaken by the Dog and she proceeded to check things out (Yes, I'm a heavy sleeper) she open the door to the garage an saw that someone had stolen her brand new car that had 54 Miles on it and freaked out.... which woke me.... The police said they entered by using a wire to hook on to the handle on your garage door opener that releases it when your power goes out.
Needless to say this opened our eyes on how comfortable we had become and it invoked tremendous change in our personal and home security. We both now have our CCW's and have taken tactical training classes and go the local range every week to shoot. The house has and alarm system and recorded video surveillance. Anyway, along with never shooting a handgun until about 6 weeks ago we have purchased a Glock 26 (Mine), 642 J S&W (Hers) and a Kel Tec P3AT (Ours) I'm also looking into HK .40 P2000SK for carry and home defense. My buddy is an ex LEO and has me hooked on the whole handgun thing.
BTW; They did find the car 3 weeks later wrecked, trashed and it had been used to transport drugs and they also found 9mm ammo in it.....
You can never be too safe and I appreciate the wonderful info that this site has to offer.

Hey there folks, I don't see too many posts on the NE forum for vegetable gardens - hope you're all getting bountiful harvests by now! What are people planting now for late-summer and fall harvesting? Is it still too hot to start lettuce and spinach? Unfortunately all the spinach and lettuce I had started mid June bolted in the withering heat we've had and I'm hesitant when to start the next crop. Thanks! Calvin |
Follow-Up Postings:
I never get organized to do a second planting of anything except rarely edible podded peas, but below is a link to Johnny's Seeds fall planted crops. At the top of the page is a link to their Fall-Harvest Planting Calculator, a downloadable Excel spreadsheet with crops and dates. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Fall crops

Hi Calvin, No bountiful harvests yet. We have a pretty big garden, but generally don't do a second planting. That said, we do plant corn in increments so that we can harvest it over time. We also replant some other crops when we don't think we have good germination. Other than that, we just take what comes, when it comes. Eat it, can it, freeze it, share it, etc. Our greens (lettuce, chard, arugula, spinach etc.) have done fine even though we've been pretty dry and warm here. I don't think it's too late to plant a few more. Susan |

What's left of my vegetable garden is now pretty heavily shaded, due to using parts of it for a tree nursery (where the trees never got moved along to permanent positions). So, my lettuce is still limping along. The idea of a fall crop has always appealed to me, but I've never gotten my act together to actually do it - too many distractions in the summer. Maybe this will be the year! Thanks for the link to Johnny's calendar/calculator, nhbabs - that might be just what I've been waiting for. |
I try to use the calculator but right now WHERE can I put things. Yesterday I got an email newsletter from Johnny's about what can be planted now. I keep planning to start some seeds in 6-packs because there will be new space when the sugarsnaps are done and garlic is harvested. I started getting good spinach when I started planting it as early in the spring as possible. I believe it is not only heat sensitive but also day length sensitive. If your plants for fall don't get very big, leave them in all winter. Even without protection they should start re-growing next spring. The broccoli I bought at the nursery, one 6-pack, is still putting out side shoots. I also plan to plant some more beans since I only have one short row of yellow bush beans planted and we really like a green filet variety. Chard tastes even better after cold weather gets here. Pay attention to lettuce varieties. Some are more resistant to heat and others are hardier in cold weather. Wish we could get vegetable starts here at this time of year. A gardening friend in England buys them. I emailed a nursery in VT and they said they do have brassicas and lettuce starts but they are too far away for me. |
Calvin, I'm in a colder zone,but, today I seeded fall broccoli+cauliflower, mokum and nelson carrots, lutz+blood beets,lettuce for heat(slobolt +green ice). Garlic will be out next week and I'll plant Bolero carrots for fall. in 2weeks or so, I start fall lettuce which I'll harvest at least until Nov.1.(kept under a tunnel cover when cold) I use a shade cover until all is germinated. Shade cloth if needed for high temps. + lettuce. Hope this helps... |

We have a bed for kale volunteers. The first crop is finishing up, but there should be new plants germinating. During the heat, it gets ratty looking, as opposed to bolting like the lettuce. It is also more tolerant of cold. |
- Posted by lnersesian z3 VT (My Page) on Mon, Jul 14, 14 at 14:27
I had such grand plans for our new veggie garden...I was lucky to even get anything into the ground this summer lol... I'm hoping to get some broccoli and spinach going once the soybeans are done but I haven't adjusted to the shorter season here, so we'll see how it goes. I am keeping track of planting/harvesting dates, which is a big step for me ha ha. We have tons of sun, and we build new raised beds, but everything so far has been slow going. |

As it happened
Can it really be that time again? Following a close season seemingly shorter than a pair of Ronnie Corbett's trousers, the new football campaign is upon us...
Cliftonville boss Tommy Breslin describes tonight's Champions League qualifier in Belfast as the biggest game in the club's history.
For Celtic, the first leg of the second qualifying round represents the first step of their bid to reach the group stages.
To do so, they'll need to negotiate safe passage through second and third qualifying rounds before the play-off stage.
Good evening and welcome to our live text coverage of the game at Solitude.

Celtic boss Neil Lennon has expressed his displeasure at having to play a Champions League qualifier this early in the season.
"We are the champions of our country, we reached the last 16 of the Champions League last season," said Lennon.
"Surely there should be some sort of dispensation for clubs who do well the previous season."
Lennon's side will be shorn of the attacking talents of Gary Hooper in Belfast tonight. The 25-year-old, who is sidelined with a groin strain, may have played his last game for Celtic, with Norwich and Queen's Park Rangers circling overhead like striker-hungry vultures.
Adam Matthews, Charlie Mulgrew, Joe Ledley and Virgil van Dijk are injured for the visitors, while new signing Steven Mouyokolo is unavailable.
"We have to be as professional as we can, quell the home crowd and try to impose our game on them," said Lennon.
"This is our first competitive game (of the season.) It's a big ask but that's where we are."
Kieran Lennon: "Moan the Cliftonville"
Celtic: Forster; Lustig, Wilson, Ambrose, Izaguirre; Commons, Brown, Kayal, Forrest; Stokes, Samaras .
Subs: Zaluska, Amido, Rogic, Irvine, McGeouch, Waters, Watt.
"At home anything can happen," Cliftonville striker Liam Boyce said ahead of tonight's game in North Belfast.
"We beat Kalmar (of Sweden) here last year. They are a full-time team so we don't see why we can't beat Celtic?"
Former Celtic defender Stephen McManus, who has joined SPFL rivals Motherwell, is donning his BBC Sportsound pundit's hat tonight.
"Neil Lennon has picked the strongest side which I think is the right thing to do. Scott Brown will be one of his biggest players tonight," says McManus.
Kick off is at 19:45 BST.
Speaking on Tuesday, Neil Lennon said his Celtic side won't take their opponents lightly.
"We have to be as professional as we can, quell the home crowd and try to impose our game on them," he said.
"This is our first competitive game (of the season.) It's a big ask but that's where we are.
"Cliftonville are a good side and we've had them watched.
"Their team will be well prepared and they'll be highly motivated for this game but the Champions League is so important for us as well. It's a dangerous game and it's one we're not taking lightly..."
Where are you watching tonight's game? Are you heading to Solitude or finding a comfy spot on the couch?

KevBrady44: "Thank u for the live coverage - I am Belfast-born reporter now living in Orlando - will be following u online - good luck Reds."
The teams make their way onto the sun-kissed pitch as supporters packed inside Solitude make an almighty din. We've missed you football, we've really missed you...
Handshakes all round amid that famous Champions League theme tune; slightly different from Barcelona but Belfast is pulsating.
1942:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"The atmosphere is fantastic and fans of both sides are mingling together; there's good banter and it's good to see..."
Apologies to those waiting patiently for our live video stream of the game. Problems across the BBC website at the moment, please bear with us.
We're under way in Belfast!
The hosts come flying out the traps like a team of Red Arrows; swarming over the Celtic defence and forcing an early free-kick.
Liam Boyce, though, can't profit from a decent position and Celtic
Celtic respond immediately, James Forrest scampers down the left before dinking in a cross for Kris Commons to bullet a header on goal but it cannons back off the crossbar.
Not a lot happening!
1948:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"Georgios Samaras looks in the mood.."
Forrest looks to pressurise the Cliftonville rearguard again, his run across the 18-yard box ending with a fizzing shot just over.
Frenetic opening five minutes with the 5,500-odd supporters inside Solitude creating a cracking, crackling atmosphere.
Refresh the page and the video stream should be there for your delectation...
Cliftonville force the first corner of the game as Efe Ambrose gives the visiting defence some early jitters in the evening sun.
But Neil Lennon's men clear their lines. It's goalless after an entertaining eight first-half minutes.
Jeddahbhoy: "Looking out for the score here in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia! I'm about to teach so won't be able to watch it. Come on the bhoys!"
James Forrest feeds Anthony Stokes down the left and the Irishman sends in a low cross but Cliftonville clear. The ball zips around before Emilio Izaguirre tries to fashion a chance from the left without success.
1956:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"Very competitive and very open. Both teams are attacking and looking for goals. Credit to Cliftonville for playing two strikers. Celtic are getting their full-backs forward and James Forrest is a big threat out wide too."
Celtic looking rusty in the opening 15 minutes and Neil Lennon will be hoping for a bit more goalmouth action following Commons's header off the woodwork.
James Forrest thunders down the left - all the visitors' attacks appear to be coming down the same flank - but Cliftonville get back to snuff out the danger. Moments later Kris Commons tries to control a long ball out of the sky but can't get a shot away.
Efe Ambrose will have Celtic fans in full-on nerve-shredding, nail-biting, eye-rubbing Pink Panther Inspector Dreyfus mode as he loses possession before cleaning out Joe Gormley.
Once again Celtic look to profit down the left; again it's Emilio Izaguirre given the chance to whip in a decent cross but his deep effort drifts over the head of galloping Greek Georgios Samaras.
Cliftonville goalkeeper Conor Devlin executes a lovely Cruyff turn under pressure from Anthony Stokes. The Northern Irishmen don't appear too nervous...
Cliftonville's Jamie McGovern earns the first booking of the evening for a tackle from behind on Georgios Samaras.
A little over 20 minutes gone of a goalless first half and Cliftonville are refusing to let Celtic settle.
2008:BBC Sportsound commentator Kheredine Idessane
"Cliftonville don't look out of place at all..."
2009:GOAL- Cliftonville 0-1 Celtic Mikael Lustig (25mins)
Celtic break the deadlock as Mikael Lustig rises above the Cliftonville defence to powerfully head home a Kris Commons cross.
Liam Boyce hits a snap-shot right into the arms of Celtic goalkeeper Fraser Forster. No rela danger this time but it shows the hosts aren't rolling over...
2014:GOAL- Cliftonville 0-2 Celtic Georgios Samaras (31mins)
Celtic double their lead as Georgios Samaras displays some neat footwork on the edge of the box before swivelling and firing a shot into the top corner beyond Devlin.
2015:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"Fantastic play. His experience for Celtic side is valuable. Exactly what Neil Lennon wants - a solid performance and a lot of attacking."
Murray Robertson: "Samaras going down EVERY chance he gets. Nice to see a team get stuck in though..."
Alan: "Watching in a bar in Granada, escaping the 34 degree heat at 9pm local time."
Ciaran Caldwell shoots over for Cliftonville but overall Celtic are looking comfortable with a two-goal cushion.
Adam: "Don't think we should be playing a qualifying game but still should be good practice."
The beard goalscorer Georgios Samaras is sporting is almost as big as James Dayton's was for Kilmarnock last season!
Anthony Stokes almost manages to wriggle free inside the box but the Cliftonville defence display Ninja-like reflexes to scramble the ball clear.
For the second time in the first half, Kris Commons is denied by the woodwork. He engineers some space inside the box on the left before arrowing a shot that comes back off of the post and bounces clear. Celtic are pushing hard for a third goal, with five minutes of the first half remaining.
2025:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"What a fantastic effort. I don't think the 'keeper was expecting it. It just shows you how good a player Kris Commons is and it shows how comfortable Celtic are at the moment."
Ironic cheers from the Cliftonville supporters as Celtic forward Anthony Stokes is flagged offside.
Who would you say is the biggest offside culprit in football? AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi would have to be up there. I remember him, forever looking heavenward for intervention during games, after being stopped by another flag as the Milan dugout shook their heads in collective frustration.
Any others? Tweet using the hashtag #bbcsportscot, message me @bbcthomasmcg or text 80295.
2028:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"I think Neil Lennon will just say 'more of the same' at half-time because of the desire and commitment they've shown. He'll tell them to keep their concentration and not lose any goals."
2029:HALF-TIME- Cliftonville 0-2 Celtic
Goals from Mikael Lustig and Georgios Samaras give Celtic a two-goal cushion on a glorious sunny evening in Belfast.
Cliftonville have caused a few moments of alarm but Neil Lennon's men will be content with their opening 45 minutes.
2031:BBC Sportsound pundit Stephen McManus
"You can see Efe Ambrose isn't up to full pelt as yet but he has dominated in the air. Stokes, Samaras, Forrest and Commons have been excellent for Celtic."
2032:BBC Scotland pundit John Hartson
"Forget about our pre-season form. Tonight is where it starts. I think Celtic have been superb in that first 45 minutes. They matched Cliftonville physically then began to play their football."
Georgios Samaras doubled Celtic's lead with an impressive strike at Solitude.
No changes for either side as the second half gets under way.
On the issue of the worst offside culprits...
Fraser Stewart: "Colin Nish was born in an offside position #bbcsportscot"
Steps: "Inzaghi was born offside - in the words of SAF!!!"
Samaras stretches his legs and those of the Cliftonville defence with a trot down the left but his cross is easily gathered by Devlin.
What a chance for Cliftonville and what a howler from the Celtic defence! Fraser Forster has to race from his goal to save from Stephen Garrett after Mikael Lustig is woefully short with a header back to his keeper.
Sam: "It has to be Christian Vieri. Sure, I remember one ref threatening to book him for the amount of offsides on Football Italia back in the day."
Some incredible games back then and the co-commentary nuggets from Don Howe...
2051:BBC Sportsound commentator Kheredine Idessane at Solitude
"Cliftonville have come out really forcefully and purposefully at the start of this half."
Celtic manager Neil Lennon is far from a happy camper in his technical area. He's offering his players a bit of tactical instruction in an effort to add a bit of zest and zip following that half-time orange.
2053:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"Neil Lennon isn't best pleased because Celtic haven't strung two passes together in this second half."
Liam Boyce, with a lovely piece of skill, gets away from Kelvin Wilson and attempts to dink a ball into Joe Gormley but Efe Ambrose is alert to the danger. The Cliftonville fans get right behind their team in search of a goal.
Mikael Lustig combines with Scott Brown before whipping in a cross for Anthony Stokes. The Republic of Ireland international gets his header on target but Conor Devlin gathers. Celtic have finally woken up after a sluggish start to the second half.
Liam Boyce isn't doing his chances of a move to the UK mainland any harm with his performance tonight. He's relentless as he strives to create openings for his team.
Rance: "Crespo was the most unfortunate, always played on the line and linesmen would just flag him #bbcsportscot"
Crespo was amazing in the air. I remember an incredible looping header he scored for Inter Milan against Ajax in Amsterdam in the Champions League...
Tony Paterson: "I can't be the only one concerned Efe Ambrose has played quite well. So far..."
Cliftonville press again with Ciaran Caldwell cushioning the ball down for Marc Smyth but his effort is blocked by the Celtic defence.
Iain: "Cliftonville are a village pub side - if Celtic had any quality they'd be five or six up by now - going nowhere in Europe."
Ciaran Caldwell and his Cliftonville team-mates are pressing for a goal in the second half and reduce the deficit at Solitude.
2105:BBC Sportsound commentator Kheredine Idessane
"You'd think it was Cliftonville who are winning with the amount of singing coming from their support."
Chunky in Inverness: "Hoops a bit rusty but the understanding will come in the next few games. Would be good if we could see Balde and Rogic in the closing stages to freshen up attack."
Celtic hit the woodwork for a third time this evening, Anthony Stokes rattling the bar after good work from James Forrest on the right. We've got 20 minutes remaining, can Cliftonville pull one back in front of their own fans?
Joe Gormley is withdrawn for the hosts, to be replaced by former Celtic youth player Diarmuid O'Carroll.
Patrick O'Byrne: "Reds were my first love but Celtic will be my last - 'reading' the game from Freetown Sierra Leone!"
Neil Lennon and his Celtic coaching staff discuss whether to send on Tony Watt. The striker is stripped and ready for action but is forced to cool his heels. Celtic assistant boss Johan Mjallby, sporting a nifty-looking Zoolander hairdo, has a quick tactical chat with his boss.
Fifteen minutes remaining and Celtic, two goals to the good, go in search of a third goal. Anthony Stokes fizzes a shot just wide.
Text from anon: "Dear BBC, Good to see comment from "Iain" deserved publication. Scottish side 2 up away and you print a mocking text.. Rangers fan I'd guess. Joke BBC."
2117:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"What Celtic are doing just now is making the ball do the work. They're making Cliftonville chase shadows."
Tony Watt, on for Georgios Samaras, is beavering away in search of a shot at goal.
Cliftonville have shuffled their pack too, with Curran replacing Garrett.
James Forrest dances away from the Cliftonville defence but lacks composure in front of goal and it remains 2-0 to Celtic with 10 minutes remaining.
Anonymous: "Cliftonville are not just a village pub team. They are in the Champions League qualifying stage. Iain, I'm guessing you won't be doing much travelling in Europe for a few years yet."
Kevin Bridges: "'Catalyst' is an endangered species of a word. Only football commentators keeping it alive."
Tom Rogic replaces Kris Commons and the latter will be happy with his night's work despite being denied twice by the woodwork.
2124:GOAL- Cliftonville 0-3 Celtic James Forrest (84 mins)
James Forrest slaloms away from a couple of Cliftonville challenges before firing a rasping drive beyond Conor Devlin. A third goal for the visitors and it's the last act from Forrest as he's replaced by Dylan McGeouch.
2126:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"It's rare for James Forrest not to hit the target when he shoots. A comfortable victory for Celtic and that should seal the tie now."
Three minutes of additional time as Cliftonville chase a consolation at the end of an entertaining encounter.
2133:FULL-TIME- Cliftonville 0-3 Celtic
Managers Tommy Breslin and Neil Lennon exchange handshakes beofre the Celtic boss applauds the supporters around the ground.
Celtic have three away goals to take back to Glasgow ahead of next Tuesday's return leg.
Hugh in Aberdeen: "Neil Lennon gave Cliftonville the credit they deserve."
Iain: "Iain - Just to clarify, not a Rangers fan. Tottenham supporter man & boy and believe me, I'd rather see Celtic progress than either Wenger or Mourinhos mobs !!"
Anonymous: "Can you keep scientific / engineering Luddites like Kevin off the BBC, catalyst is a part of my daily discourse and if he wants petrol to continue to be manufactured he better hope it stays that way."
2136:BBC Scotland pundit John Hartson
"It was comfortable in the end because of Celtic's professionalism. It could've been more but I'm sure Neil Lennon will be delighted with three."
2138:BBC Sportsound pundit Peter Houston
"Celtic will be delighted. Following their poor pre-season form, this was the game that mattered."
2145:Cliftonville manager Tommy Breslin
"The players weren't overawed. It's just at this level of football if you give the ball away you'll get punished. We'll go to Celtic Park, enjoy the occasion and work hard."
2147:Celtic manager Neil Lennon
"I'm delighted with the performance and the attitude of the team. It was a very special occasion and I couldn't have asked for any more. The team came and played very well."
Celtic manager Neil Lennon also said there's no update on the future of striker Gary Hooper.
The forward was ruled out of the game in Belfast with a groin strain, as Queen's Park Rangers and Norwich City aim to secure his services.
Lennon revealed he still intends to bolster his squad before the end of August.
James Forrest scored Celtic's third goal to all but secure their place in the third qualifying round of the Champions League.
Thanks for your company, tweets and texts this evening. Celtic ease to victory in their first competitive game of the new season to boost their hopes of reaching the Champions League.
We'll be back on Tuesday for the second leg at Celtic Park. Cheers.

The always interesting Publishing Perspectives has a great double-sided post today about publisher branding, with Erin Cox advocating for publishers to spend more time & money on this, and Sarah Russo arguing about why publishers shouldn't "brand the brand."
It's not hard to figure out where I stand on this argument, but I'll try and objectively summarize both sides, starting with Erin:
In the last decade or more, the trend in trade publishing has been to focus on branding an author instead of an imprint. There are some notable exceptions, but, for the most part, publishers' branding rarely extends beyond the colophon on the spine and printed at the bottom of an advertisement.
Ask any publisher, and they will say that the average reader does not relate to a publisher, they relate to an author. This may be true, but is this merely because publishers are not doing enough to brand themselves and their types of books? Is there more that could be done that would make imprints stand out, thus attracting more readers, and allowing savvy publishers to be more competitive in an already-saturated marketplace?
Before I begin, I would like to define the term "branding" as a method by which a publisher or a publishing imprint defines who they are and the types of books they publish in order to establish a relationship with the reader.
Anything that promotes a closer connection between readers and publishers is a good idea in my book. But going on, here are a couple examples Erin includes on how to build a brand:
Sure, there is a colophon on the side of the book, but why not create a standard package that helps to assert that this is a book published by [INSERT PUBLISHER HERE]. It could be expanding the colophon to take over the whole spine (which might also inspire bibliophiles to want the whole collection for their library) or be something more dramatic like Library of America's uniform edition or the consistently colored spines of the aforementioned New York Review of Books editions.
And here's a slightly more embarrassing/meta suggestion:
Put a Face to the House
Go forth and talk to the readers. Train a few editors, publicists, marketing people to be spokespeople for the company. Get them out there doing interviews, host a book club in a local store, write a blog about the books they publish, get them on panels at festivals and fairs beyond the traditional writing festivals. That's how magazines help to brand themselves, why not book publishers? Chad Post, Publishing Perspectives contributor and Publisher at Open Letter, is almost more famous than his imprint. He was recently on "The Newshour with Jim Lehrer" and is regularly on local television in Rochester.
I agree with all of this—with the caveat that this makes most sense when the publishing house (or imprint) has a clear focus. It's hard to brand a general house that's appealing to one group of people with its cookbooks, another with its poetry, etc. Not that it's impossible—I trust in Knopf for basically anything in any category (although recent conversations about Dragon Pizzeria have shaken my faith a bit)—just that it's easier if you are a certain definable thing.
Flipping sides, here's a few quotes from Sarah Russo about why publishers shouldn't brand themselves:
I'm of the belief that publisher or imprint specific branding would be not only fairly fruitless for trade publishers but also hugely time consuming and a financial drain. Branding, specifically online branding, works in niches that allow you to reach specific communities. A branding campaign needs a defined target or it is destined to fail. [. . .]
The abundance of publisher Facebook pages, blogs and Twitter feeds suggest that publishers want to go direct to consumers, but many are not reaching that audience at all. Some market research on the bigger imprints' Facebook pages would likely report that their "fans" are already in the industry (or want to be). Pantheon has 724 followers this morning. Sixty-five of those followers are publishing people that I know personally. That's a hefty percentage. And that's a lot of effort expended to get those 700 fans, a minimum of 10% of which are in the industry.
That's the best paragraph in here, especially considering that Open Letter has almost 1,500 FB fans . . . It actually sort of proves my point that you have to be somewhat specific to be able to build a brand.
So we need to reach a new group of readers. I don't think our reading public is spending hours watching TV each day. However, targeted TV ads could work in the right markets using the right TV programs. Slate tested an interesting TV ad experiment recently. It's not out of the question, but it can be strategically limiting financially and production-wise. (I'm not intentionally leaving out radio but NPR ads are frequently used by publishers and are nothing new.)
I think I'm done quoting from her. Sure, this is all fine and good, but none of her suggestions address the fact that the old model is creaky and not very adaptable to an age of connectivity. I agree that it would be a huge waste of money for Random House to try and rebrand itself—that's just plain silly. But entertaining the idea of TV ads strikes me as being as misguiding as launching a billboard campaign. (Does anyone actually watch live TV anymore anyway?)
Sorry—I thought I could write a balanced post about this, but I can't. Even if general readers don't necessarily pay attention to who is publishing which books, a savvy, strategic branding campaign can help build a loyal audience in a relatively cheap and easy way. And who doesn't want a core group of fans buying and talking about their books?

the main points of the presentations and discussions at that workshop, held April 26, 2011, at the Keck Center of the National Academies. The full presentations of the speakers are available on the IOM website at http://www.iom.edu/Activities/Nutrition/USDABreastfeeding/2011-APR-26.aspx.
The IOM Food and Nutrition Board established a workshop planning committee of six people with diverse nutrition, social marketing, and public health expertise (see the front matter for committee membership and Appendix B for biographical sketches). The committee fulfilled the workshop objective by setting up panels around three broad themes: what has changed since Loving Support began in 1997, lessons learned from other public health campaigns, and suggestions for where to take the campaign in the future (see Appendix A for the agenda).
This summary is an accurate representation of the workshop presentations and discussions which has been prepared from the workshop transcript and slides. Chapter 1 summarizes the opening remarks from the president of the National WIC Association, which represents WIC participants and agencies, and a historical overview about Loving Support from Debra Whitford, director of the Special Supplemental Food Program Division of the FNS. Chapter 2 highlights presentations about what has changed since the Loving Support campaign was launched almost 15 years ago in terms of the characteristics of the mothers who use WIC, the WIC program environment, new and emerging research, and changes in laws and policies. The changes identified by the speakers included the appearance of interactive, democratized communication created by new technology; the growing importance of peer networks among today's mothers; and strong support by WIC state programs to promote breastfeeding, including exclusive breastfeeding. A steadily more positive policy environment for breastfeeding has emerged over the years.
Chapter 3 focuses on the second panel, in which presenters discussed lessons from other public health campaigns that may have resonance for the updated WIC effort. After an overview of social marketing was presented, panel members discussed the VERB™ campaign to promote physical activity among young people, the National Breastfeeding Awareness Campaign, four state-level programs, and, as an international example, the Brazilian Breastfeeding Promotion Program. A common theme throughout these presentations was the importance of truly understanding audience needs and perceptions before moving forward with campaign design or implementation.
The discussions of the final panel of the workshop are covered in Chapter 4. Presenters on this panel offered a range of suggestions for moving the social marketing campaign forward, including program components and messages, communication tools, implementation tools for state WIC programs, strategic community-based partnerships, the identification of

Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- Julius Baer Group Ltd., Switzerland's fifth-biggest wealth manager, said it may cut more than 150 jobs unless the market picks up.
"There's no hard timetable or target for cutting positions -- it could be less than 150, it could be more," spokesman Jan Vonder Muehll said today in a phone interview from Zurich. "We've already trimmed a lot of the fat elsewhere, so the next round will involve personnel cuts."
Baer is embarking on a third round of cuts this year and may cut staff in "growth markets" such as Hong Kong and Singapore as well as in Switzerland, Vonder Muehll said. The Zurich-based bank, which reported a 21 percent decline in first- half profit in July, employs about 3,500 people.
The job cuts were reported earlier today by Neue Zuercher Zeitung.

The Washington State Patrol is now strongly enforcing the law that bans driving while talking or texting on a cellphone. Troopers have issued five times more tickets than before it became a primary offense. That works out to 6,850 citations in the past 12 months.
Frankly, we are surprised more citations weren't issued -- a lot more.
It doesn't take but a few seconds to spot a driver with a cellphone glued to his or her ear. Despite it being illegal, driving while yakking on a cellphone remains an epidemic problem.
Perhaps law enforcement -- locally and across the state -- are working on changing that.
Emphasis patrols aimed at cell-phone violators (as well as seat-belt scofflaws) took place three times between May 23 and June 5. Walla Walla Police, College Place Police and Washington State Patrol made 108 traffic stops resulting in 26 citations for cellphone violations and 22 for not wearing seat belts. Another 39 drivers received warnings.
Another emphasis is planned later this summer.
Let's hope these emphasis patrols become more and more frequent.
The message has to be received by drivers that talking or texting with a cellphone is an illegal and dangerous behavior.
Gary Bainter, a retired Walla Walla Police Department captain who for several years wrote the Street Smarts column for the U-B, cited a study in the Journal of Human Factors in which researchers concluded that a driver talking on a cellphone is 5.36 times more likely to be involved in a collision than nondistracted drivers. This same study found that talking on a cellphone reduced reaction time by 9 percent and drivers are as impaired as legally drunk drivers.
It's time we, as a society, finally got serious about reducing the number of distracted drivers who are on the road. The problem will only be curbed when drivers believe they are going to be hit with a $124 fine.
The emphasis patrols, which are funded by the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, are a good way to make believers of drivers.

Spending some time up in Michigan visiting with family. While I am over at my brother's new-to-me house, I remarked on what a nice, shaded backyard he has. He says, "Yeah, I like it, but that section over there drives me nuts." I say, "You mean the area behind the Hostas?" "What are Hostas?" "Those clumping plants with with the varied colors." "Oh. No. THOSE are what I hate." I don't know much about Hostas other than lots of transplants long to grow them in Florida and that they melt in our climate. So I had to laugh that he wanted to get rid of such 'prized' plants. |

Well, while he's been at work and I've been 'idling' around the house, I dug up all the rhizomes for him. He's much happier with his backyard now. Though, he has a nasty infestation of ground-covering violets and those will be much harder to get rid of as their rhizomes snap at the slightest provocation. |

I didn't read up on those violets, but from what I saw in his yard, I wouldn't want them. They were supposedly planted by a prior owner of the house and they did nothing to contain the plants and they are EVERYWHERE. I tried pulling some up for him, but as stated above, the running rhizomes broke so easily, I may have only doubled their numbers in that area. I regretfully had to advise him that his best bet might be regular glysophosphate treatments until the rhizomes are dead. |

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
Gophers coach Jerry Kill, who was hospitalized at the Mayo Clinic Sunday after suffering a seizure that morning, was back at practice Wednesday afternoon. Kill was on the field for the afternoon practice, and called the team together for an on-field meeting.
The Gophers open Big Ten play Saturday at Michigan, and Minnesota defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys said Tuesday that he expected Kill to return for the game, even though the coach was still at Mayo.
Kill, who has been afflicted with a seizure disorder for nearly two decades, was stricken with a major seizure on the sidelines of TCF Bank Stadium on Sept. 10 during the Gophers' loss to New Mexico State. He remained hospitalized for five days before returning to work.
But though his symptoms became less traumatic after that incident, the seizures did not cease. Kill disclosed last week that he had suffered multiple seizures in the hospital following the the New Mexico State game and that they continued even after his release. He had experienced few seizures over the previous five years, but his new doctors, he said, had not yet found a combination of medication that would similarly control his condition.
Not that he would allow it to keep him from coaching his team.
"I ain't changing," Kill said after his return from his first seizure. "What the hell am I supposed to do? Stop? I mean, sit in the chair and wait for the next God-dang seizure to come along?''
Kill's seizure Sunday came the day after a 37-24 loss at home to North Dakota State that dropped the Gophers to 1-3.

Working out is a necessary part of life, and whether you're a marathon runner or an elliptical pro, one fact remains the same: You can't exercise in the nude. We're always interested in cute, affordable workout clothes because, though we don't want to spend money on stuff we're just going to sweat in, it's important to be happy with what we're wearing. Now, thanks to Forever 21′s new line of workout paraphernalia, we can stock up on everything from socks to cute sports bras and spend the money we save on regular clothes that show off our hard work.
I found the prettiest bra while trolling for lacy lingerie the other day. It was delicate but sturdy, lacy but not cheap-looking, and I wanted it. Unfortunately, it's made by The Little Bra Company, which a saleswoman told me focuses exclusively on A and B cup bras. My loss, your gain, Itty Bitty Titty Committee. The ever-helpful (and largely small-chested) sales staff at Journelle, my new favorite lingerie spot, raved about the fit, making me all the more jealous of those of you who've got the appropriate amount of lady lumps to indulge.

Patrick Wayne Germond: Government the problem
Wednesday, July 22, 2009
To the editor:
A lot of economic "Greek tragedies" in the past have been caused from government leaders trying to go against the economic laws of nature and common sense.
Case in point, the apocalyptic effects of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, signed June 17, 1930, which turned a recession into a Great Depression.
The Tariff law taxed imports coming into America. Vainly, it tried to make American products cheaper than their competition from other countries. The goal was to "create-or-save" American jobs. The extreme opposite happened, because the rest of the world retaliated with their own tariffs against American goods, as expected by the opponents.
The government action ended up costing U.S. citizens vast amounts of jobs. Worse yet, the rest of the world moved on, doing business among itself, while the U.S. turned into a raisin.
Today, progressives in both parties have used the environmental cause to take control of our lives and to promulgate, or force by law, their social engineering delusions. Their latest and greatest fiasco, "Cap & Trade." Progressives in California have elevated this to a sanguine, or bloodthirsty, level. Their pretentious argument and experiment has failed with the same methodical predictability as blowing a hole in the side of a sinking boat to let the water out.
Courts have taken the power to shut down entire towns in the faces of the people for any exaggerated environmental cause. Remember, the U.S. timber industry?
It was squeezed out because of the cost of endless litigation. Now, Canada has taken over the market while our U.S. forests' go up in smoke.
The obsession with self-imposed tariffs, such as those in California, have made the costs to American businesses sky-rocket. Production and competitiveness have been lynched, and they now hang from Al Gore's shade tree.
The Arabs pave their streets with gold, while we Americans tie up our industry in red tape, rules and litigation. Neither party promotes tort reform or free market capitalism.
Instead, they sell us universal nightmares under the panic of emergencies they've created from their own, ever reaching, grasping, hands.
The reason the progressive movement of the 1930s went as far as it did was because of a lot of factors. One, it just needed to be played out so the people could see the end results.
Another reason was people didn't have our level of access to communication and self-education. Basically, they were poor when it came to the facts. We, however, have hindsight and history on our side. And judging by the polls, and to the dismay of both parties, Americans are catching on fast. Facts and common sense can cut through propaganda instantly.
Problem is, the Achilles heel of socialism is it rots and stinks in the sunlight.
Besides, a government that thinks the recession is over because fewer people are Googling "economic depression," needs to be made real small. Government is the problem, not the solution.

"Today, progressives in both parties have used the environmental cause to take control of our lives and to promulgate, or force by law, their social engineering delusions. Their latest and greatest fiasco, "Cap & Trade." Progressives in California have elevated this to a sanguine, or bloodthirsty, level."
Yes, because trying to restore our environment, to reverse the effects of climate change and stopping the continued destruction of the biosphere is a social engineering delusion, designed only to allow these progressives to bend us to their whim.
Or, perhaps they're doing this to help the environment, something that most would agree is beneficial. It's a fact, not a theory, that our climate is changing. This, except for the few, is accepted by everyone. The debate is whether or not its human caused. Whether it is or not, humans and animals previously dealt with this, and lived their daily lives, adapting to the changes. This, was before the rise of civilization.
Now, the solution is not so simple. We stand back and let our climate change and alter our civilization, weaken it, or we can try and stave that off. Thus measures like this, which some call a fiasco. Others call it sanity. I would also just like to point out the fact that these progressives currently are the majority of the nation. A representative constitutional democracy then, and a representative constitutional democracy now.

To top it off, the new health care legislation is over 1000 pages. It adds an 8% payroll tax and it does NOT cover the doctor's fee..
This will put most of the small businesses out of business, you'll loose your job and your health care. Small business can barely scrape up the payroll tax match as it is.
Obama signed a signing statement on Monday, Executive Order, stating he doesn't have to obey our law. He was cirtical towards Bush for doing this and now him.

TAKEN FROM THE FEDERATION for AMERICAN REFORM web site: www.fairus.org
Democratic House Leaders Conceal the Fact That Their Health Bill Covers Illegal Aliens Last week, Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives unveiled their health care reform legislation entitled, "America's Affordable Health Care Act of 2009." (Bill Text). Despite the language in section 246 of the bill that states: "nothing: shall allow Federal payments [for] individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States," the bill actually raises more questions than it resolves with respect to whether the bill will burden American taxpayers by giving health care benefits to legal and illegal aliens.
The draft House bill - consisting of 1,018 pages - was introduced by Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) and cosponsored by the chairmen of the three House committees of jurisdiction: Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), Chairman of the Ways & Means Committee; Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), Chairmen of the Energy & Commerce Committee; and Rep. George Miller (D-CA), Chairman of the Education & Labor Committee. Section 202 of this bill creates a Health Insurance Exchange (exchange) and states that "all individuals are eligible to obtain coverage" through the exchange. The House Education & Labor Committee has produced a summary of the bill and explains that the exchange will allow individuals and employers to "comparison shop for coverage" and that the bill creates "new affordability credits: for people purchasing [health coverage] through the exchange." (Education & Labor Summary).

Patrick, If you are talking the editorial committee that is such a farce that CDP uses forget it. It is comprised of people that are not able to make up their own minds and have to be told what they think. An editorial committee needs to be open minded and able to use their own brains and not have to go along with what is politically correct. Thanks but no Thanks Sorry.

Ryan Neece.....Then count me as one of the few. I do believe that our climate is changing however it is changing just like it did 1000's of years ago and has very little to do with human causes. The reason that it is accepted by so many is that global warming, just the phrase creates money's from the public but, any scientific studies that dispute it get no funding because it is not the flavor of the month, year, decade whichever you choose to call it. I attended a conference in North Dakota in January and the keynote speaker that they had there was an actual scientist and had several charts that explained just what I am saying here. In my opinion he sure made sense to me and a lot of attendees of the conference. Yes Patrick most Americans are in favor of a clean environment but that doesn't mean that the rest of the world worries about it. Just look at the industries in Mexico, China and others thoughout the third world nations. I do know that Australia and New Zealand are doing their part in clean environment and have been for many many years.

Tucked behind a labyrinthine arrangement of pinball machines and arcade games in the dark series of rooms he calls his "headquarters," Adler's professional world looks a lot like a teenager's dream. Sitting in his office in jeans and a baseball cap, between a collection of decorative garden gnomes and a stack full of rolled quarters — both the literal and the figurative currency of the small gaming empire he's crafted out of his childhood hobby — he acknowledges this. "I can play games whenever I want," Adler says, and grins.
And the biggest game of all is about to begin. "If we do it right — which we will — that's a huge step," he vows. "I've grown from an arcade kid into an arcade adult, and I want to make this an arcade city. But it's the kid back there at the McDonald's that still guides me."

Dangerous Curve
Troopers say a speeding driver lost control of his truck in a steep curve, and crashed into cars parked in a homeowner's yard.
Terry Smith says he heard a boom, then saw that a truck had flown off Mount Carmel Road and hit his classic Mustang. The crash shoved it into another Mustang in the drive.
He says this kind of accident has been a problem for years. "I've been here a little over 17 years, there have been at least 14 or 15 cars come off, from motorcycles to cars, and they've been two to get seriously hurt, other than that, everybody else has been able to walk away," says Smith.
Smith says drivers crashing in his yard have destroyed six classic Mustangs he owned, along with several trucks. A driver hit his house in one of the accidents.
Troopers charged Daniel Mayhew with driving while impaired in Friday's incident. He's in jail under $10,000 bond.
Smith and his sister have asked the D.O.T. in the past to put up a guardrail, but officials denied their request. News 13 contacted D.O.T. officials and they agreed to meet with the family and to review whether a guardrail is needed.

Mayflower Oil Spill
10:29 pm
Wed May 29, 2013
Lawsuit Against Exxon Claims Company Knowingly Concealed Pipeline Defects
A lawsuit has been filed against Exxon Mobil Corporation, Exxon Mobil Pipeline Company, and the planners and developers of the Mayflower subdivision where a pipeline ruptured and spilled almost 150,000 gallons of oil into a neighborhood on March 29, 2013.
The lawsuit was filed by a group of Mayflower residents affected by the oil spill.
Claims made in the lawsuit include:
- Exxon was aware of problems with the pipeline before the oil spill and knowingly concealed pipeline defects.
- The pipeline was meant to carry crude oil and could not handle the more abrasive tar sands oil flowing through it. The abrasive tar sands oil created stress demands that led to dangerous conditions in which a rupture was inevitable.
- The oil spill has damaged the city of Mayflower and negatively impacted growth and property values of the entire community.
- Carcinogenic chemicals and other volatile compounds have been detected in the air near the spill site weeks after the spill.
- Exxon took 18 minutes to shut down the pipeline. Which is double the amount of time established for a "worst case scenario" in their own emergency response plan. This led to twice the amount of oil being spilled.
- Exxon was negligent in hiring the Center for Toxicology and Enviromental Health (CTEH) to monitor air and water safety. Members of Congress asked for British Petroleum to fire CTEH during the BP Gulf Oil Spill because they were alleged to promote corporate interests at the expense of public health.

Female Students Help Boost Total Degree Numbers
The Department of Education has released its annual report on the condition of higher education in the United States. The study collected data from institutions of higher learning from 2008 and 2009, the most recent data available.
One of the first things that the report discusses is the increase in the number of undergraduate degrees awarded as compared to ten years prior. The total number of bachelor's degrees has increased by over one-third. The report also discusses the concentration of these undergraduate degrees awarded in five major fields. Of the 1.6 million bachelor's degrees awarded in 2008-9, over half were in the fields of business, social sciences, health and clinical sciences, education, and psychology.
The majority of associate's degrees were also tightly bunched into a handful of categories, the report found. Over 50 percent of associate degrees awarded in 2008-9 were in the fields of liberal arts, general studies, and humanities, as well as health and clinical sciences. The number of degrees awarded increased over 40 percent from the previous decade's report.
The D.O.E. also reported on master's and doctoral degrees for the same time period. Master's degrees were also highly concentrated in field of study, with over 50 percent in the fields of education and business. The number of Master's degrees also showed a large increase, nearly 50 percent from the 1998-99 data.
Doctoral degrees were concentrated in the areas of health and clinical sciences, education, engineering, and biological sciences. These four fields accounted for more than half of all doctoral degrees conferred. The number of doctoral degrees awarded also demonstrated growth, with 54 percent more being awarded in 2008-9 than in 1998-99.
Overall, the report concludes that more degrees are being awarded, and demonstrates the correlation between degrees conferred and the areas of the job market with some of the highest growth rates.
What is perhaps one of the most interesting patterns illustrated by the report is the increase in degrees of all types being awarded to female students. While female students still lag behind their male counterparts in some of the traditionally male-dominated fields, such as engineering, math, and sciences (or STEM fields), they are steadily gaining ground. Female students are earning more of these types of degrees, and are earning more degrees overall than their male counterparts.
