The family of two children killed in a Saturday house fire in Gibsonville say the stranger injured trying to save them is a hero and want the community to support him.
Steve Cosner, of Danville, is recovering from second-degree burns at UNC Hospitals in Chapel Hill after attempting to pull Jade Hawks, 1, and Matthew Ridge-Poulos, 4, from inside the burning home at 5913 NC 61 North in Gibsonville Saturday. He and a coworker, Brenten Shaw, were on their way to work when they saw the fire and stopped.
"We've lost a lot, everything, including two precious babies. But we weren't the only ones hurt in this," said Fred Ridge, the children's grandfather, who was inside the home when the fire started. "He was willing to risk his life for someone he doesn't even know. It means more to me than he will ever know. I'm not sure I'm as brave as he is."
Ridge, Cosner and Shaw attempted to rescue the children through a window. Cosner was burned reaching through flames with a rake, attempting to use it to grab and pull the bed frame and bedding where the children were, Ridge said.
"He's a very humble man. He did it because he hopes other people would do the same for his children," Ridge said. "I want to make sure he's taken care of; that his medical bills are covered and that he doesn't suffer at all for losing time at work."
Cosner has four children, the youngest 17 months old, said Dana Ridge, the children's mother.
"Just to know that he was willing to do that to try to save my babies means so much. And he was a stranger who has four babies of his own," Dana Ridge said.
Hooters in Burlington will host a benefit for Cosner during one of its bike nights, which are held Friday, within the next few weeks. The date and time of that benefit — being organized by a regular customer and local biker group — aren't set yet, said Kevin Chodynieki, Hooters' general manager.
The fire started before dawn Saturday, when a space heater in the living room ignited materials near it, investigators say. The bedroom where the children slept was near the living room.
Dana Ridge had already left for work. Fred Ridge was awakened by a noise but couldn't get to the bedroom. He tried to rescue them from outside when Costner and the co-worker stopped to help.
Ray Goddard was the first to see the fire, stop and call 911. Goddard pulled Fred Ridge out of the burning house.
"He had to physically pull me out of the house because I was trying to get back inside. He pretty much had to fight me to save my life," Fred Ridge said.
Guilford Fire District Station 28, Gibsonville Fire Department, Whitsett Fire Department, McLeansville Fire Department, Northeast Fire Department, and Guilford County Emergency Services responded to the fire. Despite all their efforts, the two children were pronounced dead at the scene.
"I want them all to know how thankful I am, how thankful the whole family is," Fred Ridge said.
Carl Allen, of Guilford County Station 28, spearheaded fundraising efforts after the fire. Friedens Lutheran Church donated land to the family for the plot. Page Stokes and Junior Snyder — who own area Domino's Pizza franchises, where Dana Ridge works — Rich and Thompson Funeral Home of Burlington, the Ladies Auxiliary of Guilford County Station 28 and many close friends have been gracious and generous, they said.
"I can't say enough about the Frieden community. A person couldn't ask for a better area to say they're from. It's like one huge family," Fred Ridge said.
Donations to the family can be made to Truliant Federal Credit Union, to the Ridge Memorial account. But the Ridges say they're being taken care of.
Now they want to make sure Cosner gets the recognition he deserves.
"Anything that can be done. We want him to get all the help he can get," Fred Ridge said.

Nine Run Inning Sends Baseball to Fourth Straight Victory
April 4, 2014
GAFFNEY, S.C. – The Pfeiffer baseball team used a nine-run inning to cruise to a 15-4 road victory at conference foe Limestone on Friday evening. The Falcons picked up their fourth consecutive win as they improve to 23-14, 10-5 CC while Limestone falls under .500 with a record of 18-19, 7-6 CC.
The host Saints jumped on the board first as they scored three runs on four hits in the bottom of the third inning. Their three runs came off the bat of Chad Balderman as he belted a three-run homerun over the left field wall.
Pfeiffer did not get rattled by the three run inning, as they turned in an explosive inning of their own in the top of the fourth inning.
With runners on second and third, Tyler Summers put the Falcons on the board with a sacrifice fly to right center field. With two outs in the inning and a runner on third, Matt Wade roped a double in the left field gap to cut the deficit to one run. After Dylan Goodman was struck by a pitch to put runners on first and second, Dalton Lindley singled to left field to tie the game at three runs apiece. Kyle Hackney sent a screaming line drive up the middle to bring in Goodman for the go ahead run. Kevin Price continued the rout as he smacked a triple to left center to clear the bases as Pfeiffer now led 6-3 with two outs. Jon Gray stepped up to the plate for the second time in the inning as he doubled to center field to score Price and extend the lead to four runs. The scoring frenzy was not finished when Cole McGraw singled back up the middle to bring Gray in to score the eighth run of the inning. The final run came as Summers singled to right field to cap off the inning with his second RBI in the inning, and the ninth run of the inning.
Despite the explosive 12 runs in one inning, the two teams combined for five hits over the next three innings.
The Falcons captured three more runs in the top of the eighth inning as they ran their tally to 12 unanswered runs.
With bases loaded and one out, McGraw popped a sacrifice fly to left field. The Falcons now led 10-3 with runners on second and third and two away in the inning. After Summers was intentionally walked to load the bases, Anthony Allende singled to left field to bring in two runs and extend the lead to nine.
Limestone mustered up one final run in the bottom of the eighth inning as Cooper Gunter hit a solo shot to left field.
Pfeiffer added three more runs in the top of the ninth inning as they crumbled any Limestone comeback thoughts.
Kyle Hackney connected on his second homerun of the season with a two-run shot to deep left field. After Price doubled and advanced to third on a wild pitch, Gray knocked in his second run of the game with an RBI single to left center.
Keith Little picked up the win for the Falcons as he improved to 4-3 on the season. Little captured the win by pitching nine complete innings and giving up four runs on nine hits.
Pfeiffer saw three players in the three-hit column as Gray, Allende, and Hackney combined 9-for-16 with seven RBIs and six runs between them.
The Falcons return to action tomorrow as they set to complete the series at Limestone with a doubleheader starting at noon.

WASHINGTON – The financially struggling U.S. Postal Service said Wednesday that it will stop delivering mail on Saturdays but continue to disburse packages six days a week, an apparent end-run around an unaccommodating Congress.
The service expects the Saturday mail cutback to begin the week of Aug. 5 and to save about $2 billion annually, said Postmaster General and CEO Patrick R. Donahoe.
"Our financial condition is urgent," Donahoe told a news conference.
The move accentuates one of the agency's strong points – package delivery has increased by 14 percent since 2010, officials say, while the delivery of letters and other mail has declined with the increasing use of email and other Internet services.
Under the new plan, mail would be delivered to homes and businesses only from Monday through Friday, but would still be delivered to post office boxes on Saturdays. Post offices now open Saturdays would remain open Saturdays.
Over the past several years, the Postal Service has advocated shifting to a five-day delivery schedule for mail and packages – and it repeatedly but unsuccessfully appealed to Congress to approve the move. Though an independent agency, the service gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control.
Congress has included a ban on five-day delivery in its appropriations bill. But because the federal government is now operating under a temporary spending measure, rather than an appropriations bill, Donahoe says it's the agency's interpretation that it can make the change itself.
"This is not like a 'gotcha' or anything like that," he said. The agency is essentially asking Congress not to reimpose the ban when the spending measure expires March 27 and he said he would work with Congress on the issue.
The agency clearly thinks it has a majority of the American public on its side regarding the change.
Postal Service market research and other research indicated that nearly 7 in 10 Americans support the switch to five-day delivery as a way for the Postal Service to reduce costs, the agency said.
"The Postal Service is advancing an important new approach to delivery that reflects the strong growth of our package business and responds to the financial realities resulting from America's changing mailing habits," Donahoe said. "We developed this approach by working with our customers to understand their delivery needs and by identifying creative ways to generate significant cost savings."
But the president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, Fredric Rolando, said the end of Saturday mail delivery is "a disastrous idea that would have a profoundly negative effect on the Postal Service and on millions of customers," particularly businesses, rural communities, the elderly, the disabled and others who depend on Saturday delivery for commerce and communication.
He said the maneuver by Donahoe to make the change "flouts the will of Congress, as expressed annually over the past 30 years in legislation that mandates six-day delivery."

To the parents destined to raise a mediocre child,
Hold on a second — that was a bit rude of me. Let me preface this a bit more so that you know exactly who you are and why your child is bound for mediocrity.
Recently, a friend was working at a local restaurant and overheard a conversation that one of the tables was having. I'm referring to a specific conversation, but it is a conversation that is held by many parents all over Lenoir County.
My friend said you somehow got on the topic of where you were sending your child to school, in which you announced was going to be the local private school, one of the finest in the region.
Now I am in no way putting down private educational institutions — after all, I go to one of the biggest and most expensive (albeit very diverse) private universities in America: New York University. In fact, my two older brothers went to the local private school as well and they're off doing great things.
But instead of saying all of the opportunities that this private school can offer your son — such as the diverse AP courses taught, or the wide variety of sports and other extracurriculars he could have partaken in, you chose to say why the public schools he would have gone to were a "worse" choice.
Well, sort of.
"With the district lines that are drawn and where we live," my friend recalls you saying, "he would have gone to Northwest, Rochelle and Kinston High. You know why I don't want to send him there."
Do I? Should I, my friend or the rest of your table know why you wouldn't want your child going to those schools?
I'm going to take a shot in the dark here and say it was probably race-related. I know that's a heavy card to play, but it's no secret that those three schools, especially the latter two, have student populations that are predominately African-American. I would know since I went to all three of the schools you mentioned.
That's right, me — a student at one of the highest globally ranked universities — who was featured recently in this same newspaper for making it on the Dean's List both semesters of my freshmen year, went to Northwest Elementary, Rochelle Middle and Kinston High School.
As a matter of fact, many of my friends who went to those same three schools are off at other prestigious colleges and universities, such as ECU, N.C. State, UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Wilmington, and Winston-Salem State. All of them come from very different home lives and ethnic backgrounds, mind you.
Actually, that's one of the things I have always felt blessed about going to public school — the diversity of my friends. It was never an issue that my classmates were black, white, Hispanic, mixed or anything else they identify themselves as. We knew we were people, albeit different people, but people who loved to learn and strived to be great.
So this is an open letter to the parents setting their child up for mediocrity. Are you sure you know why you don't want to send him to those schools? Have you really thought out that perhaps it's not the schools that are wrong for your son, but your beliefs that you are imposing on your son that are wrong for those schools?
I think that it's best if you kept your disgusting views out of the public school system. We don't need any kind of elitist, bigoted attitudes spreading towards the bright students coming into Northwest, Rochelle, Kinston High, or any other schools you deem "unfit" of providing a great education.
Tell your child the importance of a good education. Tell him or her about the wisdom and perspective you can gain from diversity.
Or else have fun raising a child destined for mediocrity — but I wish you both the best.

Comments about Troy Lee Designs Se Pro Course Jersey:
I use the Jersey once or twice a week for aggressive mountain biking and it's excellent for warm weather due to it's ventilation and it's very light. It also feels and fits good and has good looks. Not enough time to test for durability and I think for cold weather I'll use a different type of shirt.

Oliver Stone's Alexander is based on the true story of one of history's most luminous and influential leaders, Alexander the Great (Colin Farrell) -- a man who had conquered 90% of the known world by the age of 27. Alexander led his virtually invincible Greek and Macedonian armies through 22,000 miles of sieges and conquests in just eight years, and by the time of his death at the age of 32 had forged an empire unlike any the world had ever seen. The film chronicles Alexander's path to becoming a living legend, from a youth fueled by dreams of myth, glory and adventure to his lonely death as a ruler of a vast Empire. Alexander is the incredible story of a life that united the Known World and proved, if nothing else, fortune favors the bold.

In 1983, Tony decided to open his own place, and Famous Subs and Pizza was born. Tony's mother and father followed from

"They're great people and easy to work with," said Jessie Mars, whose has been the kitchen manager at Famous for 14 years. Mars' daughter also works at Famous.
The Vogiatzis family believes in advancing in their staff by cross-training them to work every position in the restaurant, paying them higher than chain restaurants often do and working with them as their lives change.
"We believe in investing in our staff. They are like our family," said Georgia, who oversees the 40 employees. "I work with them and stay flexible. We have people that only work a couple days a week, or certain shifts. We have great employees and try to keep them.

"When the economy went down, a lot of restaurants go buy cheaper products and shrink their portion size. We don't,"
The Vogiatzises not only believe in being loyal to their employees and customers, but to their community as well. They have fed the runners and volunteers at the Neuse River Bridge Run for the past four years and donated food for the run for several years before that, according to

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Sophomore Charlotte Myers set a school record to highlight the second and final day of competition for the Miami University women's track and field team at the Gladstein Invitational, hosted by Indiana University at Gladstein Fieldhouse.
Myers (Bexley, Ohio) surpassed the school record in the 600m run with a time of 1:34.01, which earned her sixth in the 600m run invitational final. She broke Becca Williams' record by 0.38 seconds as Williams' time of 1:34.39 had stood since 1996.
Senior Layne Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) finished third in the 60m hurdles final in 8.56, which is one of the top-10 times in school history, after she was the top qualifier in Friday's prelims in 8.51. She finished behind a pair of Ohio State hurdlers.
Freshman Kala Allen (East Amherst, N.Y.) crossed in ninth in the 60m dash final in a season-best 7.83 after qualifying 14th in 7.85 on Friday. Baggett had also qualified for the 60m dash final, taking eighth in Friday's prelims, but skipped the race to focus on the 60m hurdles final.
In the 800m run invitational final, sophomore Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) captured sixth in 2:14.82 while in the regular 800m run, freshman Megan Beaver (Brecksville, Ohio) placed fifth in 2:16.57 in her first collegiate 800m. Classmate Lauren Schattinger (Cortland, Ohio) was seventh in the 200m dash in 25.78 in her first collegiate 200m race.
In field action, redshirt senior Samantha Gable (Greenfield, Ind.) claimed eighth in the weight throw with a toss of 16.76m/55-0.

This season, CBS has moved Person of Interest to Tuesday nights. Will the ratings fall off as a result or will they grow because of a stronger lead-in? Let's wait and see.
On Person of Interest, former CIA officer John Reese (Jim Caviezel) and billionaire Harold Finch (Michael Emerson) continue to work together to prevent violent crimes in the Big Apple. Taraji P. Henson, Kevin Chapman, Sarah Shahi, and Amy Acker round out the cast.
The ratings are typically the best indication of a show's likelihood of staying on the air. The higher the ratings (particularly the 18-49 demo), the better the chances for survival. This chart will be updated as new ratings data becomes available — usually the next day, around 11:30am EST/8:30am PST. Refresh to see the latest.

Gov't spent $18 billion on immigration enforcement
Monday - 1/7/2013, 5:30pm EST
By ALICIA A. CALDWELL
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Obama administration spent more money on immigration enforcement in the last fiscal year than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined, according to a report on the government's enforcement efforts from a Washington think tank.
The report on Monday from the Migration Policy Institute, a non-partisan group focused on global immigration issues, said in the 2012 budget year that ended in September the government spent about $18 billion on immigration enforcement programs run by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the US-Visit program, and Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol. Immigration enforcement topped the combined budgets of the FBI; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Secret Service by about $3.6 billion dollars, the report's authors said.
Since then-President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act in 1986 _ which legalized more than 3 million illegal immigrants and overhauled immigration laws _ the government has spent more than $187 billion on immigration enforcement. According to the report, "Immigration Enforcement in the United States: The Rise of a Formidable Machinery," federal immigration-related criminal prosecutions also outnumber cases generated by the Justice Department.
The 182-page report concludes that the Obama administration has made immigration its highest law enforcement priority.
"Today, immigration enforcement can be seen as the federal government's highest criminal law enforcement priority, judged on the basis of budget allocations, enforcement actions and case volumes," MPI Senior Fellow Doris Meissner, a co-author of the report, said in a statement released with the report.
Critics are likely to bristle over its findings, especially those who have accused the administration of being soft on immigration violators.
"There has been some progress," said House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul of Texas. "But the bottom line is that we are far from having operational control of our borders, particularly the Southwest border, and there are no metrics to quantify progress."
Meissner said since the 1986 law was passed, immigration enforcement "is a story of growth. The sum of its parts is growth."
Demetrios Papademetriou, MPI's president, said that the authors reviewed immigration enforcement policies and spending from 1986 on amid ongoing disagreements in Congress on whether border security and enforcement efforts needed to be solidified before reform could be tackled.
"No nation anywhere in the world has been as determined, has made as deep and expensive a commitment to or has had as deep a reach in its enforcement efforts as the U.S. has had," Papademetriou said. "The reach spans from local court rooms and jails all the way to the ability of goods and travelers to the United States to actually be able to travel to the United States."
According to federal budgets reviewed by MPI, CBP spent about $11.7 billion on its enforcement operations while ICE had a budget of about $5.9 billion in 2012. US-Visit accounted for about $307 million.
As spending has risen in recent years, the number of arrests at the border has steadily dropped. In 2011, agents made about 327,000 arrests at the southern border, the fewest in nearly 40 years. The Homeland Security Department also removed a record 396,906 immigrants that year. In 2012, nearly 410,000 people were removed from the United States.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has repeatedly touted those statistics as evidence that the border is now more secure than ever.
Experts have attributed the drop in arrests to a combination of factors, including record numbers of Border Patrol agents stationed along the Mexican border. Meissner said that the growth of illegal immigration in the U.S. is now at a standstill.
The report also highlighted workplace enforcement changes from raids targeting illegal immigrants to paperwork audits designed to root out employers who routinely hire illegal immigrant workers and the volume of people removed annually.
The report by MPI's Meissner, Muzaffar Chishti, Donald Kerwin and Claire Bergeron, comes amid renewed interest in immigration reform from Congress and the White House. In the immediate aftermath of the November election, congressional Republicans suggested the time was right to begin reform talks anew. President Barack Obama, who won a record share of Hispanic voters, renewed a previous pledge to make immigration reform a priority.
In the lead up to the election, Obama made several administrative changes to the immigration system, including launching a program to allow some young illegal immigrants to avoid deportation and work legally in the country for up to two years. His administration also refocused enforcement efforts to target criminal immigrants and those who posed a security threat. And just last week, the administration announced a rule change to allow some illegal immigrant spouses and children of U.S. citizens to stay in the country while they ask the government to waive 3- or 10-year bans on returning to the United States. Immigrants who win the waiver will still need to leave the country to complete visa paperwork, but will be able to leave without fear of being barred from returning to their families for up to a decade. The rule, first proposed last year, goes into effect in March.

OSWALD, JOHN: Plexure
Quantity in Basket:none
Only while limited numbers last, this is the scarce Japanese import of the 1993 plunderphonic classic in which John samples over a thousand top-hundred artists from the past 10 years. Starting with 'rapmillisylables', it then progresses through the material according to tempo. Hard to describe because the material moves so fast (there are thousands of fragments). It is jaw-droppingly complex, at the same time as being nothing but glossy hits exploding into a million shards (harmless when whole, exploded this stuff is lethal). This piece works on so many levels it's better to leave it to you the listener. EP length; indispensable

"If all the achievements of scientists were wiped out tomorrow, there would be no doctors, but witch doctors, no transport faster than horses, no computers, no printed books, no agriculture beyond subsistence peasant farming. If all the achievements of theologians were wiped out tomorrow, would anyone notice the difference? Even bad achievements of scientists, the bombs, and sonar-guided whaling vessels work! The achievements of theologians don't do anything, don't affect anything, don't mean anything. What makes anyone think that "theology" is a subject at all?" [Richard Dawkins, "The Emptiness of Theology", Op-Ed article in Free Inquiry, Spring 1998]
I thought it fitting to start this short thread off with a Dawkins quote. I tend to agree with him. Every other discipline in academia works within the framework of the existent. Even postmodern novels exist and hence can be talked about and analysed but what exactly is theology talking about? I am fairly certain nothing.
Dawkins wrote this in response to Mcgrath's claims of his ignorance on the subject.
"Yes, I have, of course, met this point before. It sounds superficially fair. But it presupposes that there is something in Christian theology to be ignorant about. The entire thrust of my position is that Christian theology is a non-subject. It is empty. Vacuous. Devoid of coherence or content. I imagine that McGrath would join me in expressing disbelief in fairies, astrology and Thor's hammer. How would he respond if a fairyologist, astrologer or Viking accused him of ignorance of their respective subjects?
The only part of theology that could possibly demand my attention is the part that purports to demonstrate that God does exist. This part of theology I have, indeed, studied with considerable attention. And found it utterly wanting.
As for McGrath's book, I read it with genuine curiosity to discover whether he had any argument to offer in favor of his theistic belief. The nearest I could find was his statement that you cannot disprove it. Well, that may be true, but it isn't very impressive, is it?"

text: TAMIANN ADAMS - Jonesville, S.C.�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"No problem. The charts and calculators were working fine."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"Actually surprised. The prices seemed fitting, but I'm still unsure what all is covered/not covered and additional costs."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"Seems like it would be very helpful. I am self-employed, and health insurance has always been nearly unattainable."�LARRY PHILLIPS, 51 - Mount Airy, N.C.�What led you to visit the site?"I received a notification from my current provider that my premium was going to increase by nearly 200 percent. I went on the site to look at other options and compare plans."How were the plans you looked at?"They were even more expensive. The plans I looked at were at least $100 more than the rate increase I received from my current provider."Did you purchase a plan through the site?"Shoot no. I never was able to get to where they wanted you to enter information. The plan's costs were just crazy. The site isn't secure, and there isn't any way I would put my personal information on something so unsecure."�LEE SCHROEDER, 38 - Leipsic, Ohio�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"I invested about 10 to 15 minutes during each of three separate times during the week of Dec. 2, 2013, attempting to access the site. I was only able to get through the first few inquiry screens, after re-submitting the basic demographic and geographic data twice, which provided me with 'summaries' of the coverage available under each plan."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"I was very disappointed with the coverage offered."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"As a single male age 38, to get anywhere near comparable coverage, still inferior coverage nonetheless, to what I personally purchase right now. I am seeing a three-fold increase in my monthly premium. I simply cannot purchase the exact same coverage that I currently have, at any premium."�KELLI CLOUD - Middlesboro, Ky.�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"It seem like it gave me the run around. I eventually just called the number that was given to me to get signed up that way."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"It works. I rarely go to the doctor anyways."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"I got a better price than I was expecting."�KENTUCKY�SUN COOK - Harlan, Ky.�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"I tried several times and when I was actually able to get on, it was so confusing and complicated that I could not understand what I needed to do to enroll."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"I did get some costs printed off. ... You have to be satisfied because you have to do this, like it or not."�NADINE HAFEMEISTER - Harlan, Ky.�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"I got on the website fairly easy ... I didn't feel secure in giving out all my information before I could get information."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"I don't think we have a choice about costs. I think the costs are set and we have to go with what they have chosen."���CARL HENSLEY, 55 - Martin County, Ky.�How long did you spend trying to get on the website? "It took me three times of trying before I managed to actually enroll. The last time, I was on there for approximately an hour and a half before I was done. It's a very confusing site, not user-friendly at all."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"The coverage itself doesn't seem to differ a lot from the plan I have now, so I'm hoping it works well for me."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"No, the plan I signed up for was $78 more per month than what I'm paying now, and the co-pays are higher on this plan ($15 on old, $20 on new). The overall yearly deductibles stayed the same."�MIKE FORD - Middlesboro, Ky.�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"It took just a few minutes to get on the website. From there it was pretty easy to navigate."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"Yes."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"The price was fairly reasonable. It could have been a little bit better, but I can't complain."��CARLA WATKINS, 45 - Pikeville, Ky.�How long did you spend trying to get on the website? "Almost three hours total. It was a nightmare. I was ready to scream by the time I was done."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"Not at all. I was extremely disappointed, and I wish President Obama would have just left well enough alone."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"I'm a single mom and I work to support my kids as a nursing assistant, but I have to watch every penny that I spend. It's really going to put me in a financial bind now that I will be paying $92 more a month for medical coverage than I did before, like I wasn't having it hard enough before now."�NORTH CAROLINA�NICHOLAS ELMES, 36 - Mount Airy, N.C.�Why did you visit the site? "I have insurance through my company, but I wanted to see how comparable the plans were."What did you think of the plans you reviewed?"I qualified for a tax subsidy that would drop the costs considerably, to the point that I would be paying less for my plan than I'm paying through my company. But the downside is the deductibles offered through the plans are higher than I'm currently paying."��OHIO�RICHARD, 56, and DEBBIE, 57, HANS - Arcanum, Ohio�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"We didn't really have any problem getting on the website. We set it all up, it didn't take very long, and then I took the information and password to an insurance agent, who hadn't previously had success getting clients signed up. I think he was pleased that we brought our password and had everything set up. We didn't have any problems, and we plan to purchase health insurance through the new system once our current plan lapses."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"Yes, everything looked good. It's a little less than what we're paying now. Our current plan was going to go up, but this will be lower and cover more. I had a pre-existing condition the other insurance wouldn't cover, so everything will be covered now."�LORA LONG, 32 - Arcanum, Ohio�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"It took several days to access the site and view the plans."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"I was pretty satisfied with the coverage I found. I thought the ranges of plans were good."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"Right now we have insurance coverage through my husband's employer and pay over $400 monthly with a $7,000 deductible that has to be met before anything is covered by the insurance. The new plans may cost more, but the coverage is better."�JACOB DICKE, 28 - Sidney, Ohio�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"I was able to use the HealthCare.gov website without any hiccups. Total time from start to finish took about one hour. I tried earlier in the month of November, however, and experienced a ton of issues ranging from slow-downs to crashes."Were you satisfied with the coverage found?"For someone like me (single, 28 years old, relatively healthy) I found the site pushing catastrophic health-care plans that feature a high deductible and monthly premium but payout at higher percentages when the deductible is met. I settled on a middle-range silver level medical and dental plan that effectively meets my current needs."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?"The website identified me as being eligible to receive an approximate tax-subsidy of $2,760 ($230 monthly) to either receive in a lump come tax time or use per month to help reduce the monthly insurance premium. This subsidy amount was based on my current yearly salary and other determining factors. I selected the monthly option, and my health-care costs, including a dental plan, are totaling $70 a month with the subsidy. My total maximum out-of-pocket yearly amount is $700, and my deductible is only $175."�SEAN RANK, 28 - Sidney, Ohio�How long did you spend trying to get on the website?"I made multiple phone calls; it was busy. The lady I spoke to was nice. She was learning; you could tell that. She took my application over the phone."Were you satisfied with the coverage you found?"They were supposed to call back the next day and mail options (to me). That never happened. That has yet to happen. I tried to call back two days later and couldn't get through. I wanted to know what the pricing, coverage and deductibles would be. Now, I won't know. I'm not satisfied with Obamacare. I don't think the government should be involved in anything."Cost-wise, were you happy with what you found?Rank said he has decided to get health insurance from a private insurance company.�JENNIFER SALTIS, 31 - Troy, Ohio �How long did you spend trying to get on the website? "It took almost an hour just to get the website to load, then over an hour inputting information. It then doubled my dependents, and I couldn't erase them, so the information was wrong.

"To pay for the out of pocket is more affordable than signing up for an insurance plan where there was no local doctor available.

So Impressed!
I was nervous to design my invitations on line, but the price was right- so i tried it out. I am so pleased with everything from magnetstreet. I received my invitations in the mail yesterday and the packaging was phenomenal, the invitations were better than i had pictured and i really recommend this site to any and all brides. I love magnetstreet.
great quality wedding invites!
I had several questions throughout the process and was able to instantly chat with a "real" person and get my questions answered quickly! The invitations were very customizable and the editing system was easy to use. The invitations arrived on the day they said they would and were very sturdy with no smudges (something I was worried about).
Exactly what I wanted!
These were exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't a huge fan of the RSVP card design but asked them if they could change it and they did exactly how I wanted them too! I would recommend this site to my friends. They are good about changing designs to look exactly how you want them to.
Great personalization
I loved how much personalization we could do with this website. Though it was a purple border, we changed it to a theme of blues and greens, which fit our theme better. The pacakge arrived within a week. We are so happy with our experience here, something you can't always say when associated with wedding planning :)

Vicente Fox and the New Mexico: The U.S. Connection
Vicente Fox has begun his six-year term midst inspiring promise of significant progress. Undoubtedly, his administration and its policies will leave a lasting effect on his country and its citizens. However, the impact of these changes will not be solely confined to Mexico, and many of them, such as changes in economic, drug, environmental, and immigration policies, will greatly affect the United States.
Edward J. Williams is a professor of political science at the University of Arizona and an expert in the study of border relations. Since receiving his doctorate from John Hopkins University in 1964, Williams has served as a Fulbright Senior Lecturer at El Colegio de Mexico and a Fulbright Senior Scholar with the Viadrina European University on the German/Polish border.

Podlich Distinguished Fellow
Darwin and the Former Giants
Gillian Beer has explored the relations of the two cultures of science and literature. Her landmark book Darwin's Plots: Evolutionary Narrative in Darwin, George Elliott and 19th Century Fiction (1985) demonstrates how Darwin overturned fundamental cultural assumptions by revising stories that he inherited from writers as diverse as Lucretius, Shakespeare, and Wordsworth. She also reveals how major English novelists such as George Eliot and Thomas Hardy pursued and resisted the implications of Darwin's narratives, and how the stories he produced about natural selection and the struggle for life now underpin our culture. Beer's Open Fields: Science in Cultural Encounter (1996) addresses these and similar questions about the relations of science and literature, encompassing not only Darwin but Helmholz, Kelvin, Frazer, Tyndall, and Hopkins.
Dame Beer is King Edward VII Professor of English Literature at Cambridge University and President of Clare Hall, the graduate college. Her previous books include Arguing with the Past: Essays in Narrative from Woolf to Sidney (1989), Forging the Missing Link: Interdisciplinary Stories (1993), and Virginia Woolf the Common Ground: Essays by Gillian Beer (1997). She has also been chair of the Booker Prize Committee.
Professor Beer joins us as Podlich Distinguished Fellow from March 23 until April 18. She will be joined by her husband, Professor John Beer, also of Cambridge University, a distinguished scholar of English romantic literature.

John La Porta's . . . cool tone and very advanced style (influenced by Lennie Tristano) seemed to be making him the Lee Konitz of the clarinet. He played with the big bands of Bob Chester (1942-44) and Woody Herman (1944 46) but more importantly recorded with Tristano in 1947. La Porta studied with Tristano and six years later was part of the Jazz Composers' Workshop with Charles Mingus and Teo Macero, seeking to bring elements of classical music into jazz. La Porta recorded with Mingus in 1954 . . . and led sessions for Debut, Fantasy, and Everest during the years 1954-58.
-Scott Yanow
In addition to his career as a performer, John La Porta has taught during six decades, most notably at The Berklee College of Music in Boston, and is the author of numerous educational texts.
A highlight of his performing and recording career was as clarinet soloist in Igor Stravinsky's Ebony Concerto (1946) recorded for the Everest record label. La Porta participated in the 1957 Brandeis Music Festival, an important event in the development of the "Third Stream," a school of thought bringing the classical and jazz worlds together musically. John La Porta has recorded with Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Ray Brown, Lennie Tristano, Buddy Rich, Fats Navarro, and many others.
Please join us for an evening of jazz at the Athenaeum, featuring John La Porta and The American Jazz Institute Big Band.

The Feminist Classroom: An Inside Look at How Professors and Students are Transforming Higher Education for a Diverse Society
What does it mean to bring feminist ideas and practices into the classroom? This is the question that Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault and Frances Maher take up in their 1994 study, The Feminist Classroom: An Inside Look at How Professors and Students are Transforming Higher Education for a Diverse Society, drawing on interviews with students and teachers at a number of colleges and universities and examining the complex interactions that take place within a variety of classrooms. Feminist pedagogy, according to Tetreault and Maher, confronts the "twin upheavals that have shaken American universities during the past two decades": "the demographics of a rapidly changing student body" and "the struggle for more egalitarian and inclusive knowledge."
While their study makes clear that there is no one way to apply feminist methodology in classroom teaching, the in-depth examples illustrate how feminist teachers share a commitment to bringing a multiplicity of voices into play in the construction of knowledge. A new edition of The Feminist Classroom will be out this month with updated information, a major chapter on the role of race, and additional material on the present context of American higher education. Tetreault will speak on the book's findings and on the unacknowledged role of privilege within the classroom.
Mary Kay Thompson Tetreault is Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at Portland State University. She is the author of Women in America: Half of History (1978).
This luncheon is cosponsored by the CMC Teaching Resource Center as part of the TRC Reading Group on Feminist and Alternative Pedagogy. Lunch begins at 11:45 a.m.; the lecture begins at 12:15 p.m.
FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2001 3:00-5:00 p.m.
The 2001 Athenaeum art show will include works by students Sarah Junket and Christine Kim, and Professors Robert Valenza and Langdon Elsbree. The artwork of Junket, Kim and Valenza was done as part of a project portfolio for an independent study course, Digital Imagery. The pieces have been digitally created by transforming a digital photograph through digital filters using various Photoshop programs. The original image may have been scanned into the computer or inputted into the computer using a digital camera. Some of the art works are comprised of superimposed images added to a series of filters that may give an impressionistic effect, Paleolithic effect, or something that is out of the ordinary. Emeritus professor of literature Langdon Elsbree will show pieces from his collection of photographs taken during years of travel throughout the world.
Refreshments will be provided by Chef Sid and music by CMC pianist Jason Flatley '03.
The Role of the State in the Rise of the West
In Crisis and Leviathan: Critical Episodes in the Growth of American Government (1989), economic historian Robert Higgs argues that a primary cause of the continued increase in governments' size and scope is the misguided notion that effective response to a crisis-political or economic (e.g., the Great Depression and the World Wars)-entails establishing more programs, policies, and administrations, and enacting more legislation. Moreover, even after whatever crises that have spurred such growth have passed, big government ("Leviathan") never decreases to its previous size, and resists any efforts to curb its seemingly inexorable expansion. In support of his thesis, Higgs takes the unconventional (and unpopular) stance that FDR's interventions only prolonged and deepened the Depression, and "brought unnecessary suffering to millions."
Disquieting though Higgs's arguments may be, no less an authority than Nobel Prize-winning economist James M. Buchannan has praised Crisis and Leviathan as "important" and "powerful," while American Spectator editor R. Emmett Tyrell, Jr. has said "I can think of no more important reading than Mr. Higgs's book, aside from the Constitution itself." Come decide for yourself as Professor Higgs delivers the last of four lectures in the series How the West Grew Rich, sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
Robert Higgs is president of R H Research, Inc., and the editor of The Independent Review: A Journal of Political Economy. Since earning his Ph.D. from The Johns Hopkins University, he has taught economics, economic history, and political economy at the University of Washington, Lafayette College, and Seattle University. From 1994 to 1997 he served as research director for the Independent Institute, where he remains Senior Fellow in Political Economy. His more than 100 articles and reviews have appeared in a variety of professional journals as well as in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, and The New York Times. Besides Crisis and Leviathan, his books include The Transformation of the American Economy, 1865-1914 (1971) and Competition and Coercion: Blacks in the American Economy (1976).
A New Birth of Freedom: Abraham Lincoln and the Coming of the Civil War
More than forty years ago, Harry V. Jaffa published Crisis of the House Divided: An Interpretation of the Issues in the Lincoln-Dougles Debates (1959). In the preface Jaffa promised a sequel to be entitled A New Birth of Freedom. While his readers waited, Jaffa became Salvatori Research Professor of Political Philosophy at Claremont Men's College, coached the Claremont Cycling Club, and published several more books, including The Conditions of Freedom (1975), How to Think About the American Revolution (1983), and Original Intent and the Framers of the Constitution: A Disputed Question (1993). Perhaps delay was inevitable, for as the late Edward C. Banfield put it, "Crisis of the House Divided is a helluva hard act to follow." Nevertheless, after four decades, Jaffa fulfilled his promise: A New Birth of Freedom: Abraham Lincoln and the Coming of the Civil War (2000) was published late last year.
Hadley Arkes, who called Crisis of the House Divided "the best book ever written on Lincoln," found its sequel "a sublime work, advancing and deepening the first." James L. Swanson, writing in the Chicago Tribune, proclaimed A New Birth of Freedom "a tour de force: an unabashed but scholarly celebration of Lincoln, liberty and equality." The Washington Times called the book "a stunning work of scholarship and erudition." And James M. McPherson, perhaps the greatest living scholar of the Civil War, concluded, "every student of Lincoln needs to read and ponder this book."
Professor Jaffa will deliver a lecture drawn from A New Birth of Freedom at the Athenaeum. Following the talk, Jaffa will be honored for a lifetime of scholarship with the Appleby Prize, named after Carlton R. Appleby, a supporter of the Henry Salvatori Center.
Harry Jaffa's appearance at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is sponsored by the Henry Salvatori Center.
An Evening with Michael Ondaatje
Writing poetry and fiction, momentarily clutching his Asian heritage then spinning it off like a jitterbug partner, Ondaatje and his imagination can leap continents in a single paragraph.
-Voice Literary Supplement
Michael Ondaatje, a Sri Lanka native and now a Canadian citizen, fuses jazz rhythms, film montage techniques and profoundly beautiful language into his own unique writing style.
In his landmark novel, The English Patient, later made into the Academy Award-winning film, Ondaatje explores the history of people history does not explore, intersecting four diverse lives at the end of World War II. Published in 1992, The English Patient received the British Commonwealth's highest honor-the Booker Prize- the first and only such award for a Canadian. The English Patient is now available in 32 countries and in 30 languages. His other novels include Coming Through the The Slaughter (1976), about the American jazzman Buddy Bolden, which won the Books in Canada First Novel Award in 1976, Running in the Family (1982) and In the Skin of a Lion: A Novel (1997).
Although best known as a novelist, Ondaatje's work encompasses memoir, poetry, and film. In fact his career began as a poet with The Dainty Monsters (1967). He has since published nine other books of poetry, including The Collected Works of Billy the Kid (1970), There's a Trick with a Knife I'm Learning to Do (1980), both of which won the Governor General's Award, and The Cinnamon Peeler: Selected Poems (1991. Handwriting (1999), his most recent work, and the first since The English Patient, is a collection of poetry that resonates with images of life in his native Sri Lanka.
The dinner with Michael Ondaatje is open to CMC persons only. The talk is open to all; seating is limited.
A Special Notice to the CMC Community
Dinner Theater
Rumors by Neil Simon
FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2001 6:00 p.m.
SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 2001 11:30 a.m.
SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 2001 6:00 p.m.
Under the Lights has been delighting audiences at CMC for decades, and this year's annual dinner theater will be no exception. The completely student-run theater group is proud to present Rumors (1988)-an uproarious farce by one of America's favorite playwrights, Neil Simon.
Four couples are at the townhouse of a deputy New York City Mayor and his wife to celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. The parry never begins because the host has shot himself in the head-it's only a flesh wound-and his wife is missing. His lawyer decides on a cover-up, which gets progressively more difficult to sustain as the other guests arrive and nobody can remember who has been told what about whom. Doors slam and hilarity abounds as the couples get more and more crazed trying to sort things out.
The cast: Gina Banks '03, Drew Bloomingdale '02, Megan Brotherton '04, Christiana Dominguez '01, Dan Guerra '02, Rebecca Hermanowicz '03, Ahmar Iqbal '03, Navid Mehrjou '03, Justin Shiroff '02, and Brad Wease '01.
The play will last two hours, and does contain adult language-which is all the more reason for you to come and cheer on your classmates! The annual Dinner Theater is brought to you by Under the Lights, ASCMC, and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
Claremont Colleges students, faculty, and staff -NO CHARGE
Community guests -$13.50 per person
Seating will be festival style and is limited. Sign up as soon as possible, circling your first, second, and third choice of date. You will be contacted if your first choice reservation date is unavailable.
McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics
The Anatomy of Deflations
While deflation has long been considered just a figment of the Great Depression of the 1930s, Japan has had deflation in consumer prices since 1995 and China also experienced deflation at the end of the 1990s. We could even face deflation in the United States. The recent sharp drop in stock prices is a particular cause for concern given that both the U.S. deflation of the 1930s and the Japanese deflation were themselves preceded by stock market crashes.
Charles Goodhart will draw on his experience with the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee and discuss the role of the central bank in maintaining price stability and, if necessary, in warding off deflation. His lecture will also include a discussion about inflation-targeting by the Bank of England and the central bank.
Charles Goodhart is the Norman Sosnow Professor of Banking and Finance at the London School of Economics. Before joining the LSE in 1985, he worked at the Bank of England for 17 years as a monetary adviser, becoming a Chief Adviser in 1980. In 1997 he was appointed one of the outside independent members of the Bank of England's new Monetary Policy Committee until May 2000.
Along with numerous articles, Goodhart has written books on monetary history and a graduate monetary textbook entitled Money, Information and Uncertainty (1973). He has also published two collections of papers on monetary policy, Monetary Theory and Practice (1984) and The Central Bank and The Financial System (1995), and an institutional study of The Evolution of Central Banks (1988).
Professor Goodhart presents the annual McKenna Lecture on International Trade and Economics established by founding trustee, Donald McKenna, and is the keynote speaker for the Claremont Conference on Deflation at CMC, April 26-28. For conference information please contact Richard Burdekin (909-607-2884) or consult www.econ.academic.claremontmckenna.edu.
