Marie Laurencin
Marie Laurencin | |
Marie Laurencin, c. 1912, Paris
Born | Paris, France |
31 October 1883
Died | 8 June 1956 Paris, France |
(aged 72)
Known for | Painter, Sculpture |
Movement | Cubism |
Marie Laurencin (October 31, 1883 – June 8, 1956) was a French painter and printmaker.[1]
Laurencin was born in Paris, where she was raised by her mother and lived much of her life. At 18, she studied porcelain painting in Sèvres. She then returned to Paris and continued her art education at the Académie Humbert, where she changed her focus to oil painting.
During the early years of the 20th century, Laurencin was an important figure in the Parisian avant-garde. A member of both the circle of Pablo Picasso, and Cubists associated with the Section d'Or, such as Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Robert Delaunay, Henri le Fauconnier and Francis Picabia, exhibiting with them at the Salon des Indépendants (1910-1911) and the Salon d'Automne (1911-1912). She became romantically involved with the poet Guillaume Apollinaire, and has often been identified as his muse. In addition, Laurencin had important connections to the salon of the American expatriate and famed lesbian writer Natalie Clifford Barney. She had heterosexual and lesbian affairs.[2]
During the First World War, Laurencin left France for exile in Spain with her German-born husband, Baron Otto von Waëtjen, since through her marriage she had automatically lost her French citizenship. The couple subsequently lived together briefly in Düsseldorf. After they divorced in 1920, she returned to Paris, where she achieved financial success as an artist until the economic depression of the 1930s. During the 1930s she worked as an art instructor at a private school. She lived in Paris until her death.
Laurencin's works include paintings, watercolors, drawings, and prints. She is known as one of the few female Cubist painters, with Sonia Delaunay, Marie Vorobieff, and Franciska Clausen[citation needed]. While her work shows the influence of Cubist painters Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who was her close friend, she developed a unique approach to abstraction which often centered on the representation of groups of women and female portraits. Her work lies outside the bounds of Cubist norms in her pursuit of a specifically feminine aesthetic by her use of pastel colors and curvilinear forms. Laurencin's insistence on the creation of a visual vocabulary of femininity, which characterized her art until the end of her life, can be seen as a response to what some consider to be the arrogant masculinity of Cubism.[citation needed]
In 1983, on the one hundredth anniversary of Laurencin's birth, the Musée Marie Laurencin opened in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The museum is home to more than 500 of her works and an archive.

National Snow & Ice - May 2005
NCDC transitioned to the nClimDiv dataset on Thursday, March 13, 2014. This was coincident with the release of the February 2014 monthly monitoring report. For details on this transition, please visit our public FTP site and our U.S. Climate Divisional Database site.
The map to the left depicts the percent of average seasonal snowpack across the western U.S. as of May 1st. Despite some much needed rain and snow for the Pacific Northwest during spring (March-May), snowpack and snow water content in the Northwest still reflected the lack of winter precipitation with areas of Washington and Oregon having less than 25% of their normal snow. The Southwest maintained an above average snowpack during the snow season with some areas (central Sierra Nevada, parts of Utah) over 125% of normal, even at the end of May. This was mostly due to a series of Pacific storms impacting the region through the winter. Interior Alaska also had above average snowpack, while the northern and southern coasts of the state received less than average snow for the 2004-2005 snow season.

text: Android dominated smartphone sales in 2012By Heather Kelly, CNNUpdated 1047 GMT (1847 HKT) February 15, 2013Apple and Samsung are battling for the hearts and minds of the world's smartphone faithful.Story highlightsReports: Android, Apple make up vast majority of global smartphone sales Samsung was the top phone maker in 2012 thanks to its popular Galaxy devicesNew BlackBerry and Windows Phone 8 devices are just now winning over new usersAndroid continues to dominate in the battle to be the top smartphone system in the world, thanks in part to Samsung, which reigned as the top phone manufacturer for 2012. Android grew its already significant chunk of the smartphone market to 68.8% last year, while Apple's iOS operating system stayed comfortably in second place with 18.8% of smartphone shipments, according to new stats from research firm IDC. Together, the two operating systems accounted for 87.6% of all new smartphones in 2012, leaving struggling competitors BlackBerry and Windows far behind. It's no surprise that Android has surged so far ahead of iOS. There are are thousands of Android handset models in every size and at every price imaginable, while Apple has released only six versions of the iPhone. Apple sold 130 million smartphones last year, according to Gartner. "Even with the Apple Maps debacle, iPhone owners were not deterred from purchasing new iPhones," said IDC research manager Ramon Llamas in a statement. Apple released one new iOS phone in 2012, the much-anticipated iPhone 5. However, according to Gartner it was previous iPhone models, which dropped in price enough to make them a more appealing option in emerging markets, that accounted for much of Apple's smartphone success. Even though Apple's sales are growing, IDC points out that its year-over-year growth is actually slower when compared with the rest of the smartphone market.Just WatchedObama: Apple will make Macs in the U.S.replayMore Videos ...Obama: Apple will make Macs in the U.S. 01:26PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedLocals dominate China smartphone marketreplayMore Videos ...Locals dominate China smartphone market 01:18PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedSamsung takes a bite out of ApplereplayMore Videos ...Samsung takes a bite out of Apple 02:11PLAY VIDEOSamsung sold 384.6 million phones in 2012, only 53.5% of which were smartphones, according to Gartner. Chinese phone maker Huawei climbed to the No.3 smartphone vendor spot in the final quarter of 2012. Nokia has been struggling and 2013 will be a key year for the company. Its fate is largely tied to that of Windows Phone 8, which runs on Nokia's latest Lumia phones. Both BlackBerry and Windows are compteting to win over smartphone customers with their new offerings. BlackBerry just released its long-awaited new smartphone operating system and two new handsets in January, and Microsoft debuted its Windows Phone 8 update at the end of 2012. BlackBerry must persuade its existing users to make the upgrade and win back some large companies, which were previously its biggest customers. Unlike BlackBerry, Windows Phone 8 unveiled its new products and marketing campaign early enough to make some progress last year. Though it only made up 2.6% of the smartphone market in 2012, it did grow its number of shipments an impressive 98.9%, according to IDC. BlackBerry plummeted 36.4% from the previous year, but we'll have to wait and see how its latest products do in the fresh year. Overall, the number of phone sales in 2012 actually dropped 1.7% from the previous year, the first drop since 2009. "Tough economic conditions, shifting consumer preferences and intense market competition weakened the worldwide mobile phone market this year," Gartner analyst Anshul Gupta said in a statement.More from techDresses defy gender stereotypesWill.i.am apuesta por la moda sostenibleMobile World Congress 2015: Five glimpses of the futurePowered by Livefyre

Three Miami-Dade Cops Arrested, Charged With Obstruction of Justice and Perjury
Three Miami-Dade police officers lied under oath last year when they told a judge that they read a suspect his Miranda Rights during a traffic stop that led to a felony weapons charge, federal officials say.
Here's what happened, according to the federal indictment:
Last July, Dodge and Gonzalez stopped a twice-convicted drug smuggler named Pedro Marte near NW 27th Ave. and 27th Street.
The two officers found a gun hidden inside Marte's car. Marte, 25, admitted to owning the revolver after being read his Miranda rights, the officers testified under oath in his trial on felony weapons charges.
Federal prosecutors now say the police were lying when questioned by Judge Cecilia Altonaga, who was trying to determine whether the evidence against Marte would be admissible.
The indictment doesn't say specifically how they mislead Altonaga, but the Herald's Jay Weaver reports that the officers hid the fact that they were acting on an informant's tip when they pulled over Marte's car.
The three cops each face more than 20 years in prison if they're convicted of lying to the federal judge.
Marte's federal case was dismissed because of the controversey.

Great Atlantic Storm of 1962 Reader Submissions
Putting knowledge to work to protect our coast
Written by Stewart Farrell Friday, March 09, 2012 12:47 pm
Stewart Farrell, PhD, director the Richard Stockton Coastal Research Center in Port Republic, provided the following commentary on what the March 1962 storm means to us today as it relates to the subject of shore protection.
The lesson learned was that little perspective on what big storms could do was truly devastating when one happened. The dunes had been pushed down for a better view; the homes placed 25 feet from the high tide line. No regulations on building codes, site selection or damage avoidance. This storm spawned the development of the National Flood Insurance Program.

I have just replaced the discs and pads on my Mk7 fiesta. I used dealer parts by Motorcraft. The pads had a different backing in that there were 2 nipples sticking out of the back of the pads. This meant that I could not use the existing backing shims from the old pads. Is this normal.

Elegy for Elegance
Posted By Malcolm A. Kline On July 3, 2013 @ 6:52 pm In Faculty Lounge | No Comments
A British professor offers some advice to Americans when a self-appraisal might be more warranted. "What should Americans do to be saved?" Terry Eagleton [1] asks in the latest issue of The Chronicle Review [2]. "They should try to think negatively."
"Learning how to mock themselves would be an incomparably greater achievement than landing on Mars." Eagleton is a visiting professor at Lancaster University, in England.
"They should stop selling themselves as the finest country in the world because there is no such thing, any more than there are Gorgons and goblins," Eagleton asserts of Americans. "There should be compulsory courses for all college freshmen in how not to mean what you say."
"Above all, they should stop making such a song and dance about salvation." Eagleton is also a visiting professor at the National University of Ireland.
"They should try to be less moral, idealistic, earnest, and high-minded," Eagleton advises Americans. "They should take a break from all that uplifting, inspiring, healing, empowering, dreaming, edifying, and aspiring."
"Then they might be more admirable people." Finally, Eagleton is a visiting professor at the University of Notre Dame, which still claims a Catholic identity.
"In many respects—in their friendliness, honesty, openness, inventiveness, courtesy, civic pride, ease of manner, generosity of spirit, and egalitarian manners—they are admirable enough already," Eagleton writes of Americans. "But Americans are the first to admit that there is always room for improvement."
"It is an honorable puritan doctrine. The good news about the citizens of this kindly, violent, bigoted, generous-spirited nation is that if ever the planet is plunged into nuclear war, they will be the first to crawl over the edge of the crater, dust themselves down, and proceed to build a new world.

US Hwy 34 Officially Open!
US Hwy 34, between Loveland and Estes Park is now officially open to all traffic. Hwy 34 had been closed due to damage caused by the September flooding. A big thanks to all the construction crews, CDOT and the State of Colorado for making this happen before the December 1 deadline!

A study this week from USA Today shows that voters who say they go to church every week are more apt to vote conservatively -- or at least Republican -- than those who go less frequently or not at all. An exception is that African-Americans who attend church weekly are as likely to vote Democratic as African-Americans who attend church less regularly or not at all. There also doesn't seem to be a great difference in voting patterns between church-going and non-church-going Hispanics.
The study showed that frequent church goers voted for Bush over Gore in 2000 by 20 points. Even among the general group of those who identified themselves as members of the "religious right," the church going factor was important. Bush was supported by 87% of the religious right that attended church at least once each week, but only 56% of the religious right that attended church less frequently supported Bush.
For the full story: Churchgoing Closely Tied to Voting Patterns.
The Lord's Servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct, in the hope that God will give them a change of heart leading to a knowledge of the truth II Timothy 2:24-26

I wanted to share some of the collections from the AFWNY show on Thursday the 12th that I liked best. Let me know your thoughts - which look do YOU like?
The designs were like a summer breeze - flowy, in light colors and thin materials.
I am absolutely in love with her designs. This was my favorite of the day.
The designs are stylish and present prints elegantly mixed in with other textiles. The oversize print clutches were great add-ons. I need some of her designs in my life and closet!
Fresh and happy summer dresses. The collection mixed African Prints with other textiles like jeans, which gave the designs an overall young look. The cut of the skirts and dresses looked as if they will put a spring in everyone's step.
Turquoise was the dominant color of this collection. I liked the print shorts best - surprisingly, as I am usually not into shorts at all - but they were just sexy and cool. I wasn't overall in love with this collection, probably the repetition of the same color and print kind of tired my eyes, but I wanted to share it anyhow.

Plan. Edit. Develop. Review. Organize.
Adios Bloggiesta…it's was great while it lasted…if you're new and didn't see my previous post about Bloggiesta, you can read all about it here. While I'm not entirely sure as to how much time I've spent participating, I can tell you what I've accomplished. I'll be honest, I don't typically write posts on the weekend but now that I'm working full time out of the home I don't see me having much time during the week.
Out of curiosity – do you set some time to spend on your blog(s) writing and commenting?
My Bloggiesta Accomplishments:
- Did some housecleaning in Google Reader…THAT was SCARY…I had OVER 1000 posts that had not been read since who knows when (I did however read a handful AND commented…WHOOT WHOOT!!), there were 24 blogs that had not yet been categorized and a couple blogs no longer being used or rarely updated that needed to be removed (if you don't write it in at least every other week, I'm cleaning you off my list)
- Wrote 2 (this post makes 3) for here and 3 posts at Farrah's Little Place in the Blogosphere (sorry folks but the Bloggiesta posts are quite similar as I didn't know which readers would be interested in reading about them)
- Re-designed Farrah's Little Place in the Blogosphere – I decided to go with the same theme that I use here BUT the logo's and colors are obviously different. The background image is also different. Hope it makes viewing more pleasing and navigating around here easier for all.
- Planned a couple book giveaways for the month of January.
- Officially participating in Pam from MotherReader's Comment Challenge where you comment on at least 5 book blogs a day. One of my blog resolutions was to get more involved with other bloggers by commenting on their posts so here I go. This challenge runs through the 28th of January.
- Pam from Bookalicio.us reminded me to make sure my blogs were copyrighted appropriately so I made sure mine were up to date.
- I did actually update my categories yesterday before realizing that Beth from Beth Fish Reads was doing a mini-challenge. Renamed / regrouped some of mine while I was re-designing my place around here. I made changes in my navigation bar for this.
- Updated my Google & Blogger profiles so the latest information was out there for when I leave comments behind.
- Jackie from Farm Lane Books reminded me to do my weekly blog back up and I did it.
- Karin from Karin's Book Nook reminded me that it's important to check for dead links and I now am using dead-links.com to do the job for me. I actually discovered I had some!! EEK!!!
Well…it's time to end for the night…
time to end my portion of Bloggiesta…
time to get everyone bathed and ready for tomorrow…
time to do a bit of yoga/meditation to wind down…
then it will be time to spend with hubby, a movie, and perhaps a book later…
Thank you Nastasha at Maw Books for organizing the 2nd edition of Bloggiesta!

Share your story here
When deciding to have children, my initial thought was to have an OB/GYN deliver our child and make it the best experience with whatever drugs would make me comfortable. Then a friend, a naturopath, recommended watching the "Business of Being Born". Our life was forever changed. We met our midwife and felt a connection instantly. She always spent whatever time it took to make sure we got through all of our questions, we never felt rushed, she helped us understand the birth process and connecting with it on a different level than we knew possible. She has delivered both of our boys, completely drug free and safe environment. To this day, I have so much respect for our midwife and look forward to my annual exams with her. I'm just sad that I don't get to see her more than once a year because I feel like I not only have a fabulous caretaker but I have a fabulous friend.

Ptochoprodromika: Edition, Translation, Commentary, with Introduction
This project was to bring as close to publication as possible the text, translation and commentary of the Ptochoprodromika of Theodore Prodromos which was begun in collaboration with Michael Hendy, who died in 2008. A working text has been established for Poem I (MS G)(274 lines), Poem II (MS G) (117 lines)+ (MS H) (150 lines), the so-called "Maiuri Poem" (65 lines), Poem III (MS H) (c.550 lines) + MSS CSA and g (c.200), Poem IV (MS G) (167 lines), its Proem (MSS CSA) (56 lines), and the ending (MS g) (150 lines). Facing translation is now complete for all passages to be presented in the main section.
Since this will not be a full critical edition, no critical apparatus will appear beneath the Text and Translation. However, other MSS readings, which are of potential significance for literary, linguistic or historical reasons, will be presented, with translation as appropriate, and linguistic commentary will appear in this section, rather than below. For the commentary proper, sufficient material has now been collected on all aspects relevant to the interpretation of the poems, including: weights and coins; household economy; family life and law; court ceremonial; diets and dishes, foodstuffs and provenance; dress; monastic life, education and learning; City street life—and many more. This will be the first work to deal systematically and substantially—if not exhaustively—with the twelfth-century realia in the text, and the commentary will deal with items of historical, cultural, and literary interest.
Hesseling and Pernot provide a 172-page word list (with each form of all words cited), but meanings are only rarely hazarded. Eideneier has a partial glossary but some meanings given are inadequate or demonstrably wrong, especially where matters of ceremonial dress are concerned. E. Kriaras' Dictionary of Medieval Greek (MMG) remains the most reliable source, but it has only reached "pnevmonas". The number of rare words, compound coinages, and hapax legomena, both within these Poems and found in Theodore Prodromos' other works, is highly significant, especially when shared with medical texts or with ancient authors in specific contexts. I have made a list of such words, and carried out a thorough dictionary search. My TLG search is not yet complete, but where undertaken, the results look very promising, for alongside the realia, lexical links can be used to help solve questions of date and authorship.
Work on the Introduction included establishing why the poems are important, and their date and authorship (1140s for Poems I and II, 1150s or after for Poems II and IV, 1170s for Proem IV [CSA]). The twelfth-century context has required consideration of when "modern Greek" began, and the kinds of texts and genres its forms comprise. Literary qualities include consideration of imperial court theatron, street scenes, uses of dialogue and register variation, Byzantine forms of humor (verbal punning, invective, rude, slapstick), and scenes from everyday life covering all stages of human life—and death—for classes ranging from the emperor downwards to the basest. The poems demonstrate Byzantine aesthetics as viewed from the bottom up, not the top down, and substantial progress has been made towards publication, including the draft of a proposal to the press.

[SlideDeck id='609′ width='100%' height='550px']
If living in the downtown or along the river appeals to you, it's time to crowdsource a new generating of residential in Nashua! We've posted eight residential types for you to select from so you can let us know what kind of homes you'd like to live in downtown!
Why a greater downtown living campaign?
If there's no evidence of a market for residential in the Main Street area or on the riverfront, developers and residential builders won't be able to secure financing. That's where you all come in! We need to build an identifiable community of interest in greater downtown living, starting with reaching a cumulative total of 400 Likes for the eight residential types, which you can start Liking here. From that community of 400, we'll then be able to establish the Visualize Nashua New Greater Downtown Founding 50 (or Founding 50 for short), a community of 50 people willing to make history by being the first to sign a pre-lease for a home in the second coming of Bristol.
We're calling this overall effort the Greater Downtown Living 400 Campaign! In conjunction with the 400 Likes, you can get your name on the Greater Downtown Living Priority List, a no-commitment way to get on the priority list for when residences do become available. Wouldn't you want to get first crack at, say, renting a two-bedroom apartment overlooking the piazza? It's also how we'll be prioritizing those Founding 50.
A few rules and considerations!
– You can only 'Like' one residential type, so pick your favorite! (i.e. the one you'd want to move into)
– If you know someone who is in the market for downtown living, especially in the cool urban environment that downtown Nashua will become, refer them to register on the site and have them Like their favorite!
– If you are not interested in living in the greater downtown but know someone who is, you can choose to sacrifice your Like and select the typology of choice for the person you know instead.
– There are wide price ranges and square footages attached to each typology. These are more discussion points than realities, as the fluctuations in the market and fluidity of construction costs can swing numbers at any given point.
What is the campaign strategy?
Different residential types and different prices mean different crowds, so it's important to recognize that a range of strategies is needed. Younger folks tend to focus on smaller, more attainably-priced efficiencies or studios, or smaller two or three-bedrooms apartments to split the rent, and are often willing to be urban pioneers. People with families will be looking at larger units, and also tend to wait until a neighborhood is more established before moving in. Empty nesters may be seeking homes with more amenities and nicer features, and maybe more bedrooms for guests or working areas.
Either way, there is a national trend toward smaller homes and more fiscally responsible living – it's good for individuals and it's good for the economy, and we'll be helping you ride that wave! Check out "Americans are moving on up to smaller, smarter homes".
Are there incentives for referring people who register on this site and eventually lease?
We're working on that and will announce something soon.
What's the goal for reaching 400 Likes?
September 30, 2012. Let's do this!
Why are new homes noticeably more expensive than existing homes?
1. New construction has an associated cost that is often higher than the costs associated with existing multi-family product and hence must charge a higher rental rate. The average age of the housing stock in downtown is nearly a century old and even the newer existing product is in many cases 20+ years old.
2. New construction provides a host of amenities that older construction often does not including new finishes (ie. new wood floors & cabinets), newer and better crafted appliances (ie. dishwashers, fridges, stoves and washer and dryer in some cases), new HVAC for heating and cooling efficiency, better windows, and more functional and nicer bathrooms. These new amenities have an associated cost which need be offset by the rental rates.
Based on crowd interest, this is the vision for a Riverfront Promenade park on the Bridge Street site.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Arizona State University is home to one of the largest collections of meteorites on the planet at the Center for Meteorite Studies.
"We have on the order of 40,000 meteorites in here," said Laurence Garvie, research professor and curator at the center.
Garvie and his colleagues closely monitored two events Friday, an asteroid near Earth and a meteor that exploded above Russia's Ural Mountains.
The 150-foot asteroid passed within 17,000 miles of Earth, the closest known fly-by of a rock its size.
Just hours before, the smaller meteor exploded over a city of about 1 million people in Russia, injuring about 1,100 people, mostly from flying glass.
"That shock blast was large," Garvie said. "We estimate 300 kilotons of energy was released. If we compare that to the Hiroshima bomb, that was 15 kilotons."
Garvie said the work at the Center for Meteorite Studies is of vital importance because the next big impact with Earth could be just around the corner.
"There will always be impacts of relatively large asteroids," he said.
Arizona is filled with meteorites and evidence of a large impact at Meteor Crater near Winslow.
"Arizona is a meteorite hot spot," he said.
According to Garvie, desert climates like Arizona's preserve meteorites very well, which is why we have so many of them. He said we are no more likely to be hit by one than any other place on Earth. He also said if a massive meteor or asteroid was hurtling toward the Earth, scientists would know about it.
"We have information on a lot of the really large asteroids," he said. "We would know 20 or 30 years in advance and be able to nudge it in a different direction before it hit the Earth."

Ayr 2-0 Arbroath: Report
Ayr 2-0 Arbroath: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Ayr on the rise
Ayr United crept closer towards the top-half of the Scottish Division Two table with a 2-0 win over Arbroath.
Darian Mackinnon put Ayr ahead in the 16th minute with a close-range header.
Arbroath were given a lifeline on 73 minutes with a penalty but Steven Doris could not convert, leaving Michael Moffat to score for Ayr in stoppage time and secure the victory.
Kyle McAusland ensured a positive start for the home side when he floated in a cross from the right wing, Mackinnon heading into the bottom-left corner.
Daniel Rennie almost equalised with an overhead kick from the edge of the box before the break but sent it wide.
Ayr striker Mark Roberts conceded the penalty late on but Doris' shot was saved by the legs of keeper Alistair Brown.
And Moffat made Arbroath pay, finding the net from 12 yards to give Ayr their fourth home win.

Hand Examination Trick
Girls, when you are with a guy and you develope a crush for him, simply make physical contact with him. When you get the chance, take his hand and start to examine it. Find little scars or something and ask where they came from. Men like telling battle scar stories and it will give you a chance to hold his hand! Also, learn to release his hand if things become too weird. Always be aware of his eye contact with you. The more contact, the more comfortable he is with you.

Can The Medical Home Model Reinvent Outpatient Diabetic Foot Care?
There are certain protocols/algorithms that physicians follow within the hospital setting. When a patient with diabetes comes into the emergency department with an infected ulcer, a cascade of events takes place: lab tests, X-rays, wound cultures, blood cultures and consults to the appropriate specialists. Medicine, infectious disease, vascular, endocrinology and podiatry personnel usually comprise the "team" that assembles to take care of this patient while he or she is in-house. The chart, whether it is paper or electronic, serves as a means to disseminate and share information among the specialties.
This level of communication is often lacking in the outpatient setting. The vital interactions that take place in the hospital are absent or diluted in an outpatient setting. We can attribute some of this to logistics but it can also be due to a lack of effort to overcome the obstacles that prevent higher levels of communication. This is where patient-centered medical homes and accountable care organizations come into play. A patient-centered medical home encourages a level of teamwork and access to information that would benefit many patients' situations. Our standard for an outpatient surgery patient is to obtain a medical clearance from the primary care doctor prior to surgery. We order lab tests, EKGs and other tests per the protocols of the patient's medical doctor.
How Patient-Centered Medical Homes Can Facilitate More Comprehensive Treatment
Recently, I performed an elective surgery on a patient with diabetes and the patient had difficulty in healing his incision site.
Even though the patient had gotten clearance from his primary care provider (PCP), I dug a little deeper. Turns out that the patient's last HbA1c was around 12 and the results were at least a year old. Had patient-centered medical home protocols been in place, I would have had access to the HbgA1c and would have postponed this elective procedure. Patient-centered medical homes allow for sharing of information in real time, which will help to minimize complications and situations like I have described above.
A patient-centered medical home can help to provide an outpatient team concept, led by the PCP, to make healthcare more effective and efficient. Having a more detailed model in place that clearly defines the roles of each team member (specialist) will help avoid redundancies. Millions of healthcare dollars are wasted ordering labs and imaging that physicians already performed, or on studies that would not have been deemed necessary per quality-based assessments.
By implementing a system that allows seamless access to information and test results, we can minimize expensive redundancies. Recently, I had a patient in the office with a hallux fracture. Another facility took the radiographs and there was no disc. The report was very nondescript. To treat the patient effectively, I needed more information. As a result, I had to take a second set of X-rays for accurate management.
On a busy clinic day, a couple of minutes spent searching for something as trivial as a lab test or X-ray adds up when it happens repeatedly and before you realize it, you are falling behind. As reimbursement continues to decrease, being as efficient as possible is our best defense. Whether it is utilizing your electronic medical records to their fullest or adopting a model like patient-centered medical homes, we need to take advantage of the resources that are available to help keep our practices viable.
In limb salvage, a delay in treatment can be the difference between success and failure. When red tape and logistics slow the obtaining of critical information, there is a negative impact on patient care.

The last routine communication takes place between air traffic control and the pilots of Flight 11 at 8:13 and 29 seconds. Boston Center air traffic controller Pete Zalewski is handling the flight, and instructs it to turn 20 degrees to the right. Pilot John Ogonowski immediately acknowledges the instruction, but seconds later he fails to respond to a command to climb to 35,000 feet. Zalewski repeatedly tries to reach the pilot over the next ten minutes, even using the emergency frequency, but gets no response (see 8:14 a.m.-8:24 a.m. September 11, 2001). The 9/11 Commission concludes that Flight 11 is hijacked at 8:14, or shortly afterwards (see 8:14 a.m. September 11, 2001). [New York Times, 10/16/2001; MSNBC, 9/11/2002; 9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 4]

According to Terry Biggio, the operations manager at the FAA's Boston Center, the center initially thought Flight 11 "was a catastrophic electrical failure and… was diverting to New York" (see (8:21 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [Federal Aviation Administration, 10/19/2002] However, at about 8:24 a.m., controllers heard two radio transmissions from it, with the voice of a hijacker declaring, "We have some planes" (see 8:24 a.m. September 11, 2001). Pete Zalewski, who is handling Flight 11, says that after the second of these: "I immediately knew something was very wrong. And I knew it was a hijack." He alerts his supervisor. Lino Martins, another Boston air traffic controller, says, "the supervisor came over, and that's when we realized something was serious." [Christian Science Monitor, 9/13/2001; MSNBC, 9/11/2002; 9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004] However, two senior FAA officials—Bill Peacock and David Canoles—later say that the hijacker transmissions were not attributed to a flight, so controllers didn't know their origin. [Washington Times, 9/11/2002] An early FAA report will similarly refer to them as having come "from an unknown origin." But right away, the center begins notifying the chain of command that a suspected hijacking is taking place (see 8:25 a.m. September 11, 2001). [Federal Aviation Administration, 9/17/2001 ] However, some reports claim that controllers decided Flight 11 was probably hijacked earlier than this, by about 8:20 a.m. (see (8:20 a.m.) September 11, 2001).

On the operations floor at NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS), Major Kevin Nasypany, the facility's mission crew commander, instructs Major James Fox, the leader of the weapons team, to launch fighter jets from Otis Air National Guard Base in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] Nasypany has just received this order—to launch the jets—from Colonel Robert Marr, the NEADS battle commander. [9/11 Commission, 8/26/2004, pp. 15 and 88 ] Marr issued it after seeking permission to do so from Major General Larry Arnold, the commanding general of NORAD's Continental Region (CONR) (see (8:42 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 20] Marr will later claim, "My intent was to scramble Otis to military airspace while we found out what was going on." [Filson, 2003, pp. 56] Nasypany gives Fox a coordinate for just north of New York City, and tells him, "Head 'em in that direction." [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] The jets will be scrambled from Otis a minute later (see 8:46 a.m. September 11, 2001), but there will be conflicting accounts of what their initial destination is (see (8:53 a.m.-9:05 a.m.) September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 20] Interestingly, the 9/11 Commission will later state that, "Because of a technical issue, there are no NEADS recordings available of the NEADS senior weapons director and weapons director technician position responsible for controlling the Otis scramble."

The hole caused by the Flight 11 crash. [Source: Reuters]Flight 11 slams into the WTC North Tower (Building 1). Hijackers Mohamed Atta Waleed Alshehri, Wail Alshehri, Abdulaziz Alomari, and Satam Al Suqami presumably are killed instantly, and many more in the tower will die over the next few hours. Seismic records pinpoint the crash at 26 seconds after 8:46 a.m. [CNN, 9/12/2001; New York Times, 9/12/2001; North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001; USA Today, 12/20/2001; Federal Emergency Management Agency, 5/1/2002, pp. 1-10; New York Times, 5/26/2002; USA Today, 8/13/2002; Associated Press, 8/21/2002; Newsday, 9/10/2002] The NIST report states the crash time to be 8:46:30. [National Institute of Standards and Technology, 9/2005, pp. 19] The 9/11 Commission Report states the crash time to be 8:46:40. [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 7] Investigators believe the plane still has about 10,000 gallons of fuel (see 8:57 a.m. September 11, 2001). [New York Times, 5/26/2002] The plane strikes the 93rd through 99th floors in the 110-story building. No one above the crash line survives; approximately 1,360 people die. Below the crash line, approximately 72 die and more than 4,000 survive. Both towers are slightly less than half full at the time of the attack, with between 5,000 to 7,000 people in each tower. This number is lower than expected. Many office workers have not yet shown up to work, and tourists to the observation deck opening at 9:30 A.M. have yet to arrive. [USA Today, 12/20/2001; National Institute of Standards and Technology, 9/2005, pp. 20-22] The impact severs some columns on the north side of the North Tower. Each tower is designed as a "tube-in-tube" structure and the steel columns which support its weight are arranged around the perimeter and in the core. The plane, which weighs 283,600 lb and is traveling at an estimated speed of around 430 mph (see October 2002-October 2005), severs 35 of the building's 236 perimeter columns and damages another two. The damage to the South Tower's perimeter will be similar (see 9:03 a.m. September 11, 2001). [National Institute of Standards and Technology, 9/2005, pp. 5-9, 20, 22] The perimeter columns bear about half of the tower's weight, so this damage reduces its ability to bear gravity loads by about 7.5 percent. [National Institute of Standards and Technology, 9/2005, pp. 6] The actual damage to the 47 core columns is not known, as there are no photographs or videos of it, but there will be much speculation about this after 9/11. It will be suggested that some parts of the aircraft may have damaged the core even after crashing through the exterior wall. According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): "Moving at 500 mph, an engine broke any exterior column it hit. If the engine missed the floor slab, the majority of the engine core remained intact and had enough residual momentum to sever a core column upon direct impact." [National Institute of Standards and Technology, 9/2005, pp. 107] According to NIST's base case computer model, three of the core columns are severed and another ten suffer some damage. [National Institute of Standards & Technology, 9/2005, pp. 189 ] If this is accurate, it means that the impact damage to the core reduces the Tower's strength by another approximately 7.5 percent, meaning that the building loses about 15 percent of its strength in total. This damage will be cited after 9/11 by NIST and others researchers as an event contributing to the building's collapse (see October 23, 2002 and October 19, 2004). In addition, some of the fireproofing on the steel columns and trusses may be dislodged. The original fireproofing on the fire floors was mostly Blazeshield DC/F, but some of the fireproofing on the flooring has recently been upgraded to Blazeshield II, which is about 20 percent denser and 20 percent more adhesive. [National Institute of Standards & Technology, 9/2005, pp. xxxvi, 83 ] Photographs and videos of the towers will not show the state of fireproofing inside the buildings, but NIST will estimate the damage to it using a computer model. Its severe case model (see (October 2002-October 2005)) will predict that 43 of the 47 core columns are stripped of their fireproofing on one or more floors and that fireproofing is stripped from trusses covering 60,000 ft2 of floor area, the equivalent of about one and a half floors. NIST will say that the loss of fireproofing is a major cause of the collapse (see April 5, 2005), but only performs 15 tests on fireproofing samples (see October 26, 2005). [National Institute of Standards and Technology, 9/2005, pp. 23] According to NIST, more fireproofing is stripped from the South Tower (see 9:03 a.m. September 11, 2001).

Technicians on the operations floor at NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) receive what is apparently their first notification that a plane has hit the World Trade Center, in a phone call from the FAA's Boston Center. [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] NEADS ID technicians are currently trying to locate Flight 11, when they are called by Colin Scoggins, the military liaison at the Boston Center. ID tech Stacia Rountree answers the call. In response to Scoggins's information, Rountree says to her colleagues, "A plane just hit the World Trade Center." She asks Scoggins, "Was it American 11?" He tells her this is not confirmed. [Spencer, 2008, pp. 50] Another of the ID techs, Shelley Watson, starts murmuring in response to the news: "Oh my God. Oh God. Oh my God." [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] A computer maintenance technician then runs onto the operations floor and announces that CNN is broadcasting that a 737 has hit the WTC. [Spencer, 2008, pp. 51] NEADS Calls New York Center - Master Sergeant Maureen Dooley, the leader of the ID techs, tells Watson: "Update New York! See if they lost altitude on that plane altogether." Watson immediately calls the FAA's New York Center and asks, "Did you just hear the information regarding the World Trade Center?" When the person who answers her call says no, Watson explains, "Being hit by an aircraft." The person at New York Center says, "You're kidding," but Watson adds, "It's on the world news." [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] One of the NEADS technicians is finally able to display the live CNN coverage on one of the 15-foot screens at the front of the room. People stare in silence at the footage of the burning North Tower. [Spencer, 2008, pp. 51]

A typical F-15. [Source: US Air Force]Radar data will show that the two F-15s scrambled from Otis Air National Guard Base in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, are airborne by this time. [Washington Post, 9/15/2001; North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 20] It is now eight minutes since the mission crew commander at NORAD's Northeast Air Defense Sector (NEADS) ordered that the jets be launched (see 8:45 a.m. September 11, 2001). [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] It is 40 minutes since air traffic controllers had their last communication with Flight 11 (see 8:13 a.m. September 11, 2001), and 28 minutes since they became certain that the aircraft was hijacked (see (8:25 a.m.) September 11, 2001). Flight 11 crashed into the World Trade Center seven minutes ago (see 8:46 a.m. September 11, 2001). [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 7, 19 and 459] Commander Wants Fighters Sent to New York - In Rome, New York, NEADS has just received news of the plane hitting the WTC (see 8:51 a.m. September 11, 2001). Major Kevin Nasypany, the facility's mission crew commander, is asked what to do with the Otis fighters. He responds: "Send 'em to New York City still. Continue! Go! This is what I got. Possible news that a 737 just hit the World Trade Center. This is a real-world.… Continue taking the fighters down to the New York City area, JFK [International Airport] area, if you can. Make sure that the FAA clears it—your route all the way through.… Let's press with this." [Vanity Fair, 8/1/2006] Yet there will be conflicting reports of the fighters' destination (see (8:53 a.m.-9:05 a.m.) September 11, 2001), with some accounts saying they are directed toward military-controlled airspace off the Long Island coast.

On the evening of September 11, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the military decline to comment on whether fighter jets were launched to intercept any of the hijacked aircraft earlier in the day. Laura Brown, an FAA spokeswoman, refuses to say whether the agency requested military intercepts. Major Barry Venable, a spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), similarly says he does not know whether the FAA asked NORAD to send up jets to intercept the errant aircraft. Lt. Col. Margaret Quenneville, a spokeswoman for the 102nd Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, which operates from Otis Air National Guard Base at Cape Cod, refuses to comment on whether the fighter wing was requested to intercept the hijacked airliners. [Cape Cod Times, 9/12/2001; Cape Cod Times, 9/12/2001] Several days later, it will be revealed that two F-15s were indeed launched from Otis around the time the first WTC tower was hit, and three F-16s were launched from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia shortly before the time the Pentagon was hit (see September 14, 2001). [CBS News, 9/14/2001; Cape Cod Times, 9/16/2001; North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001] But as late as September 15, the New York Times is reporting, "The Federal Aviation Administration has officially refused to discuss its procedures or the sequence of events on Tuesday morning, saying these are part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's inquiry."

Carl Levin. [Source: Publicity photo]Air Force General Richard Myers is questioned about the US military's response to the 9/11 attacks when he appears before the Senate Armed Services Committee for his confirmation hearing as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but his answers are vague and confused, and he claims, incorrectly, that no fighter jets were scrambled in response to the hijackings until after the Pentagon was hit. [Shenon, 2008, pp. 119; Farmer, 2009, pp. 241-243] Myers has been the vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff since March 2000. [US Air Force, 9/2005] With General Henry Shelton, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, flying toward Europe on the morning of September 11 (see (8:50 a.m.-10:00 a.m.) September 11, 2001), he served as the acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the 9/11 attacks. [Myers, 2009, pp. 10; Shelton, Levinson, and McConnell, 2010, pp. 431-433] Myers Says Fighters Were Only Scrambled after the Pentagon Attack - During the hearing, Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) asks if the Department of Defense was contacted by "the FAA or the FBI or any other agency" after the first two hijacked aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center, at 8:46 a.m. and 9:03 a.m. (see 8:46 a.m. September 11, 2001 and 9:03 a.m. September 11, 2001), but before 9:37 a.m., when the Pentagon was hit (see 9:37 a.m. September 11, 2001). Myers replies, "I don't know the answer to that question." Levin then asks if the military was "asked to take action against any specific aircraft" during the attacks. Myers answers, "When it became clear what the threat was, we did scramble fighter aircraft, AWACS, radar aircraft, and tanker aircraft to begin to establish orbits in case other aircraft showed up in the FAA system that were hijacked." Myers elaborates later in the hearing, telling Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL): "[A]fter the second tower was hit, I spoke to the commander of NORAD, General [Ralph] Eberhart (see (9:37 a.m.) September 11, 2001). And at that point, I think the decision was at that point to start launching aircraft." But he tells Levin that "to the best of my knowledge," the order to scramble fighters was only given "after the Pentagon was struck." Flight 93 Was Not Shot Down, Myers Says - Myers addresses the military's response to Flight 93, the fourth hijacked plane, which crashed in a field in Pennsylvania (see (10:03 a.m.-10:10 a.m.) September 11, 2001 and (10:06 a.m.) September 11, 2001). He says: "[I]f my memory serves me… we had launched on the one that eventually crashed in Pennsylvania. I mean, we had gotten somebody close to it, as I recall." However, he adds, "I'll have to check that out." When Levin mentions that there have been "statements that the aircraft that crashed in Pennsylvania was shot down," Myers responds, "[T]he armed forces did not shoot down any aircraft." He says, "[W]e never actually had to use force." Although Myers appears unclear about when the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) launched fighters in response to the hijackings, he is more confident when he states: "At the time of the first impact on the World Trade Center, we stood up our Crisis Action Team. That was done immediately. So we stood it up. And we started talking to the federal agencies." [US Congress, 9/13/2001] NORAD and the 9/11 Commission Contradict Myers's Account - Myers's claim that fighters were only launched in response to the hijackings after the Pentagon was hit will later be contradicted by the accounts of NORAD and the 9/11 Commission, which state that fighters were ordered to take off from Otis Air National Guard Base in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, at 8:46 a.m. (see 8:46 a.m. September 11, 2001) and from Langley Air Force Base in Virginia at 9:24 a.m. (see 9:24 a.m. September 11, 2001). [North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 20, 27] The 9/11 Commission will also contradict Myers's claim that the military launched fighters in response to Flight 93 and "had gotten somebody close to it." "By the time the military learned about the flight," the 9/11 Commission Report will state, "it had crashed." [9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 34] Myers's Testimony Prompts Criticism in the Media - Journalist and author Philip Shenon will question why Myers, a veteran Air Force fighter pilot, would give such an inaccurate account of the military's response to the 9/11 attacks during the hearing. "It seemed obvious that Myers, of all people at the Pentagon, would want to know—would demand to know—how jet fighters under NORAD's control had responded on the morning of September 11 to the threat in the skies," he will write. [US Congress, 9/13/2001; Shenon, 2008, pp. 119] John Farmer, the senior counsel to the 9/11 Commission, will comment that "Myers's evident confusion about precisely what had occurred prompted criticism in the media and a quick, if contradictory, response from the administration." [Farmer, 2009, pp. 243] Major General Paul Weaver, director of the Air National Guard, will provide a more detailed account of the military's response to the hijackings in an "impromptu hallway interview" at the Pentagon on September 14 (see September 14, 2001). [Dallas Morning News, 9/14/2001] And four days later, NORAD will release a timeline of its response to the hijackings (see September 18, 2001). [North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001]

CBS News announces that "contrary to early reports, US Air Force jets did get into the air on Tuesday while the attacks were under way." According to this new account, the first fighters got airborne toward New York City at 8:52 a.m. [CBS News, 9/14/2001] The day before this announcement, acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers in Congressional testimony stated that the first fighters got airborne only after the Pentagon was hit at 9:37 a.m. (see September 13, 2001). [US Congress, 9/13/2001] NORAD spokesman Marine Corps Major Mike Snyder also claimed no fighters launched anywhere until after the Pentagon was hit. [Boston Globe, 9/15/2001] Four days later, the official NORAD timeline is changed to include this new account. [North American Aerospace Defense Command, 9/18/2001] New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani later testifies before the 9/11 Commission that he found out from the White House at about 9:58 a.m. that the first fighters were not launched toward New York City until twelve minutes earlier—9:46 a.m. [9/11 Commission, 5/19/2004] This would correspond to Myers' and Snyder's accounts that no fighters are scrambled until after the Pentagon is hit. But the 9/11 Commission later agrees with this CBS report and by their account the first fighters launch around 8:52. [9/11 Commission, 6/17/2004]

UPDATED: Friday, April 13, 2012 - 8:54am
COLLEGE STATION -- With a disappointing losing season and a slew of coaches over the last nine years, Aggie fans weren't too surprised when coach Mike Sherman got the boot.
Now with a new head coach, the Aggies are hoping they can turn their luck around.
Fox 28' s Lauren Holman spoke to some of the players who say Sumlin is just what the Aggies need as they head into the SEC.
When news first broke that Mike Sherman was fired, junior wide receiver Uzoma Nwachukwu, wasn't shy about his feelings tweeting quote, "Way way way beyond livid. Furious."
But things have changed now that Kevin Sumlin is the Aggie's head coach
"He seems like he's pretty fun and he likes what he's doing," said Nwachukwu. "He seems to enjoy what he's doing, you know and I think that's pretty cool to see his excitement and the way he carries himself."
While Sumlin might be a stranger to the players, he isn't a stranger to Aggieland. In fact, he's been here before, as the Aggie's offensive coordinator and linebacker Damontre Moore says that helps ease his nerves.
"You don't want someone coming in who's kind of mulling around so if he's upbeat we're going to feed off coaches as players and that's what we've got to do to follow him."
A smooth transition as the Aggies head to the SEC and yell leader, Patrick Ivey, says that's exactly what A&M needs to be successful.
"Coach Sumlin I think has, you know, the energy and enthusiasm to really transition us well and get us off to a good start as we move into a whole new ballgame," said Ivey.
And Sumlin agrees, "Like I said, I didn't come here to do anything but win."

Ferraris chief designer Nikolas Tombazis believes that changes made by the Italian team to their technical department and facilities have contributed to the Scuderia making a more competitive start to the season than in recent years.
A troublesome Bahrain Grand Prix resulted in Ferrari slipping back to third in the constructors championship standings behind Red Bull and Lotus, but recent reliability issues aside, this year's F138 has been one of the quickest cars on the grid in all conditions, confirming the feeling within the team that behind-the-scenes changes are paying off.
We have made a series of changes to our approach in terms of our working practices and also from an organisational point of view, said Tombazis, ahead of this weekends Formula 1 Gran Premio de España 2013 at Barcelona. At the same time, we are improving our facilities and I believe we now also have a better understanding about how certain aspects of the car work.
Putting all that together has enabled us to make a better start to the season than in previous years. However, the process is not complete and we feel we are only halfway through these fundamental changes and we continue to work on improving all these parameters, which, in the case of our facilities, includes the work we are doing on our wind tunnel.
I think the new working methods we have adopted and the new structure put in place has allowed us to be more creative and this was one of the objectives we established along with (technical director) Pat Fry, to reorganise the place and to give people more time to think.
We identified areas where, in the past few years, we were a bit understaffed, which meant people were under pressure and did not have time to think about what could make the car go faster. It is working, but there is room to improve still further, even though this aspect has definitely contributed to the improvement in performance that we have seen so far this year.
However, whilst Tombazis recognises the progress the Scuderia have made, looking at the first four races he can see plenty of room for improvement:
I think in general, the first results mean we can be reasonably optimistic about the rest of the season, with a sense that we can fight for wins and the championship, he said.
However, if I was to score our overall performance, I would only give it a 6 out of 10 and thats for two main reasons: one is that we are not yet quite where we want to be. In the first four Grands Prix, we were not really able to fight for pole position and that is one of our main objectives at the moment.
Secondly, if you look at the actual results, even if its true weve had a win (in China with Fernando Alonso), which naturally we can be very pleased about, we have also had two very bad results where we scored very few points.
Like most teams, Ferrari will bring numerous upgrades to Barcelona. Tombazis was reluctant to go into specifics but said that the Scuderias upgrades extend to the bodywork, floor and wings.
With any new component, the difficulty lies not so much in its development but in deciding whether or not it is working on track as well as we had hoped, he said.
Therefore, by Friday evening in Barcelona, our objective is to have a clear view on what we will take forward to use in the race, in the hope of seeing measurements taken from the wind tunnel confirmed on track.

They never thought it was wrong, they had relationships in their early teens, and they like themselves for exactly who they are.
I know now that no matter what sex someone is does not mean that they can understand my every emotion, and I guess that was really stupid even thinking that in the first place, but I did. I guess there is so much I want, but the thought of sleeping every day in the same bed with someone is something I could never do, especially if it was a guy.
I found it so wrong and so unrealistic that Ty and Sean lived together as if they were married. They loved each other, they knew each other's imperfections, and they worked so that they could spend their money together, and well they made love to each other. Their parents were even more than fine with this. Am I the one that has the problem?
They checked out guys with each other and talked about car parts and they made it seem so normal. I have always found myself wanting to be other people, and I guess that continues with this episode. I know that I have to come to terms with who I am, and just be content for once in my life. I know I'm only 18, and so much can happen in the future, but I really do think I shall always be alone, and I am trying so hard to feel okay about that.
I have never loved anyone, and it bothers me so much. I looked around and all my friends had someone to love or at least they had some over obsessive infatuation on someone. I thought maybe that was normal and I wanted to ever be so normal. I always envied Jeff, and so I thought he was the perfect candidate for my first male crush. I didn't like him sexually, but don't get me wrong I did find him attractive. I wanted to be him. He was always a part of the cool crowd, he always had something to say, and his family seemed so normal, so perfect. I ruined our somewhat friendship by allowing him to find out that I liked him even when in reality I didn't, but I will have to come to terms with that like everything else.
I know in trying to express myself I do things that are over the line. I know I don't have to wear strange clothes, make up, or write sexual things to certain people, but I do it to see how far they will take things. I guess I know I'll never be "normal," but there are times I still want to try. I used to write Jeff stupid shit through one of my unknown e-mail addresses just to freak the living shit out of him, and I wanted him to have someone. I wanted him to know how perfect he was. I wanted all of my friends to be happy for they were nice to me when no one else was.
It bothered me so much to see these awesome people without some beautiful girl who could make them happy, and sometimes I wished I could be that someone for them just so they could be happy. I know that sounds really messed up, but once again look who is writing this. I know I liked Jared, Kent, and Elaine the same way and I know that I'm just ruining friendships and my sanity in the long run.
I have known that I was bisexual since I was 13, but only in the past year have I been able to utter those words out loud. It has already been a little over a year now since I started coming out to the people I felt close to. As I began to "come out of the closet," I did it so that I could accept myself and hopefully have the support I needed from those who said they would always love me. I always feared that people would hate me and I would die without people knowing who I really was.
I decided being true to myself was more important than slowly dying over feelings I was born to have. I can still see friends and family members getting very uncomfortable over my sexuality, but they have all accepted me with a few exceptions. I never thought I could live with the thought of losing friends over the fact that I was bi, but I realized they weren't the best of friends before my enlightenment either.
It may not seem possible, but you do go on, and in some ways it is easier because you are being yourself and everyone knows who you are. Growing up in a small town made me feel obligated to be the voice of the gay/lesbian/bi community, and in some ways it has suffocated me and overwhelmed those around me.
I have come to the conclusion that all I have to be is myself, and if standing up for my rights and destroying stereotypes in the process fall along this guideline, than so be it, but I am not going to turn my life into a political statement. I stare at myself through my mirror asking God for assistance, and wondering who that is staring back at me.
I know now that everything I feared people would think of me never truly mattered. The problem is in me and how I feel about myself. I don't know if I will ever truly like who I am, but I know I can't keep hiding from who I know myself to be. Maybe in time I will find it in myself to love the one who actually mattered.
Thank you.
