Critical Essay by Thomas J. Lyon
SOURCE: "The Ecological Vision of Gary Snyder," in Kansas Quarterly, Vol. 2, No. 2, Spring, 1970, pp. 117-24.
In the following essay, Lyon places Snyder's work at the forefront of the new naturalist movement.
There are some positive signs—more than straws in the wind—that a significant number of Western minds are forsaking the progress-domination theory inherent in the political view which has ruled and conquered for so long, in favor of a more relaxed and open way with the world founded on ecological sensitivity. The political mind, based ultimately on bossmanship in theology and bent on converting world matter into exclusively human use with efficient if violent technology, seems to be giving way to a gentler feeling of mutuality. We are coming, many think, to a great verge: Pisces then, now Aquarius … or Vico's fourth stage in cyclical history, returning to awe of the supernatural … or Yeats's "Second Coming." Whatever it is called, the apparently dawning age seems not to give its allegiance to hierarchies of dominance and power, nor to profane Growthmanship, but to a steady-state interdependence with all the world, its trees, rocks, rivers, and animals. The enormous expansion and deepening of the conservation movement, the new interest in the ecological sciences, and the wide search for cooperative, sacral, communal forms are all evidence that we seem to be trying to raise our sights to a holy vision of the world as a unity.
The eternal dream of the peaceable kingdom, if it can be called a dream now and not the only sane hope for survival—escape from the self-doom of ecological sin—is also emerging as a force in contemporary writing. Not as outright prophecy, Jeremiad, or prescription, but as theme growing from massive contact with natural particulars—viz., Ginsberg's important "Wales Visitation"—this kind of writing gives promise of transcending conventional romanticism to the same degree that Wordsworthian ecstasy transcended the rational optimism that went before it.
The literature of the new ecology has apparent roots in Romantic writing, certainly, as well as in Oriental thinking and in the contemporary subculture's opening of the "doors of perception" to the realization of endless interrelatedness. But perhaps the most important roots—direct apprehension of wild nature and perception of the primitive reference point in human (Indian) terms—are not so obvious, and it is here that the student of Western American literature can draw on the traditions of his regional field for insights.
Before the West had produced a great writer on its own ground, Henry David Thoreau had mapped it out as the great mother-center of wilderness and the place to learn ecological truth—"The West of which I speak is but another name for the Wild; and what I have been preparing to say is, that in Wildness is the preservation of the World"—and most of the best Western writers from later years have lived on Thoreau's map. John Muir, Robinson Jeffers, Walter Van Tilburg Clark, and Frank Waters, just to name four, have built on direct experience of elemental and often violent Western nature, working toward a post-humanist, post-technological world-view in which man fits into natural patterns rather than simply following his greed into the city of ecological imbalance and poisoning. This is not really to be wondered at; nature in the West has been primary, sometimes even overwhelming. It is not, except for the tourist industry, leisure-time beauty; garden-variety, escapist romantics have not grown well here. Jeffers wrote of the California coast as "crying out for tragedy," speaking of the great forms and space and immense changes in sea and sky that became his poetic world; one of the dimensions of his total work is the tragedy of Western civilization's drive to render the wild world tame … leaving finally only "introverted man," "taken up / Like a maniac with self love." Jeffers said he stood "west of the west"; his "Inhumanism" is nothing more shocking than the ecological vision looking back on the strictly "humanist" westward movement of plunder and destruction.
The limitations of White/Western thought have also been limned, for serious Western writers, by the presence of the Indian, who lasted long enough in the West to be the model of primitive ecology and religious responsibility to earth. But the critique has not been simple-minded. Frank Waters, to name perhaps the deepest student of the Indian among writers, has long been recommending a supra-rational, supra-emotional synthesis between cultures, making finally an ecologically responsible civilization and psychically whole persons; the Western writer's ability to take the Indian seriously has resulted in real trailbreaking.
It may be—I almost believe it—that the West's great contribution to American culture will be in codifying and directing the natural drive toward ecological thought: a flowering of regional literature into literally world-wide attention and relevance. Now, after all this prologue, I come to my subject, the poet Gary Snyder, for as Snyder begins to emerge as an important force in the ideas and art of America, he shows signs of embodying the Western ecological vision in a culturally viable form. His writing is popular, certainly, and as I hope to show, it is valid in deeper, permanent ways.
The first thing that strikes one about Snyder's poetry is the terse, phrase-light and article-light diction, the sense of direct thing-ness. In common with most of the poetic generation that has rebelled against the formulaic Eliot rhetoric and intellectual abstraction, Snyder writes a solid line, but the special quality in his diction, the personal voice, lies in his knowledgeable selection of objects. They are things he has worked with and felt the grain of, and thus known better than good-sounding "poet's" catalogs:
Rucksack braced on a board,
lashed tight on back.
sleeping bags, map case, tied on the gas tank
sunglasses, tennis shoes, your long tan in shorts
north on the west side of Lake Biwa
Fukui highway still being built,
crankcase bangd on rocks—
pusht to the very edge by a
blinded truck
I saw the sea below beside my knee:
you hung on and never knew how close.
Experience is not elaborately prepared for, in the Snyder poetics, just handed over: "Woke once in the night, pissed, / checkt the coming winter's stars / built up the fire" opens a poem and puts the reader in the mountains without any pastoral-tradition framing. This is the "near view" of the Sierra that John Muir wanted so much and knew that conventional art didn't give. Snyder's open directness moves toward solving one of Muir's and other transcendentalists' great dilemmas: how to talk about things, especially wild ones, without harming their integrity by language; how to preserve and communicate sauciness without falling into an arch aesthetic distance between subject and object, a romantic decoration that destroys the very wholeness, which is wildness, one loved and wanted to convey somehow. The thin line of poetic truth between overstatement and private code requires first of all respect for things, letting them stand free instead of being marshaled into line for a mental performance. Snyder apparently recognizes the lover's paradox in writing ("each man kills the thing he loves"), and turns back on his own mind with good humor:
foxtail pine with a
clipped curve-back cluster of tight
five-needle bunches
the rough red bark scale
and jigsaw pieces sloughed off
scattered on the ground.
—what am I doing saying "foxtail pine"?
The comment might be on alliteration and rolling rhythm, as well as on the general deceit of naming: the poem moves beyond nature love to a focus on relation, among Snyder and his poem and the tree, and the ironic mode of the final question enters dimensions of richness quite beyond simple appreciation, if such a thing is simple. The openness of Snyder's seemingly casual presentation of objects, then, should not be mistaken for naïvete. The freshness of youth in his perceptions seems to be the result of having passed through a midstage of poeticizing and returned to the primal, simultaneous brotherhood-in-separateness of all objects. This is the wild world which Thoreau intuitively saw great poetry aiming at. Leaving it in integrity requires only pointing, and here Snyder's long Zen training provides the exact discipline needed. But the poet can also bring himself in and show the paradoxical nature of knowledge (and the poignant human consciousness of separateness) by levels of irony. So we have Snyder writing,
Snow melts back
from the trees
Bare branches knobbed pine twigs
hot sun on wet flowers
Green shoots of huckleberry
Breaking through the snow.
on the one hand, and
A clear, attentive mind
Has no meaning but that
Which sees is truly seen.
No one loves rock, yet we are here.
on the other. The inclusiveness resulting is literally "part" and "parcel" of the ecological vision. Tingeing the Zen core with irony, though it is far from his only technique, is one of Snyder's singular contributions to modern poetry, a byproduct of the connection he has knitted in his life between East and West. In a sense, Snyder is moving westward in the way that Whitman meant for us to do, the total effect of his final synthesis being, to use one of his essay titles, a "Passage to More than India."
Snyder shows his naturalness and American-West roots most obviously in his colloquial, object-laden language, but another and perhaps more important consonance with the wilderness world can be felt in his verse rhythms. "I've just recently come to realize that the rhythms of my poems follow the rhythms of the physical work I'm doing and the life I'm leading at any given time," he wrote in 1959, and many of his poems are tuned so closely to muscular and breath paces that they seem quite as spontaneous as his analysis implies. A bit of "Riprap," which grew out of building trails on slick granite in the Sierra, will illustrate this:
Lay down these words
Before your mind like rocks,
placed solid, by hands
In choice of place, set
Before the body of the mind
in space and time:
Solidity of bark, leaf, or wall
riprap of things:
Cobble of milky way,
straying planets,
These poems, people,
lost ponies with
Dragging saddles—
and rocky sure-foot trails.
There are some fine rhythms starting from non-human wilderness, too, where the birds and other animals seem almost to have written the poem by themselves.
Birds in a whirl, drift to the rooftops
Kite dip, swing to the seabank fogroll
The whole sky whips in the wind
Vaux Swifts
Flying before the storm
Arcing close hear sharp wing-whistle
Snyder flirts with meter and with internal rhyme and alliteration, clearly, but the forming principle is not external. He once described formal poetry as "the game of inventing an abstract structure and then finding things in experience which can be forced into it," identifying this kind of writing with the rationalistic philosophy-culture of the West—of civilization—and then stated his preference for wilderness: "the swallow's dip and swoop, 'without east or west.'" The basic direction of his prosody is that of his image-selection: to go beyond the midstage to the consciously primitive, where there is no "east or west." Since we are both an unconscious, animal process and a conscious intellect, Snyder's poetics can be seen as an attempt at continuous self-transcendence, a leading through ego-borders into the wild. Self, ego, is at work in nature-love, as it is more obviously in nature-hate, as it is also in cultural typologies and forms for poetry. The ultimate meanings in Snyder's poetry, deeply revolutionary meanings in the sense of consciousness-changers, putting man in a different place from where he thought he was all these years, can be sensed very clearly in his formal poetics alone. His work is therefore organic rather than contrived, and although this can be said of many contemporary poets and indeed marks the fundamental direction of modern American poetry, the special virtue in Snyder's work is that he has created or allowed to develop a form that grows so rightly out of wild things, and which leads the reader uncannily ahead to a wild point of view. This is the technique of the ecological sense which goes past both the primitive and primitivism, into something else, in certain poems the ecstatic ecology of wholeness. Then to keep the sense of mind—"all the junk that goes with being human," as Snyder wrote once—alive along with the transparent eyeball, is art. Snyder's best poems, in my opinion, are the ones that move through these levels of apprehension, keeping the whole thing alive and total, finally conveying the great molecular interrelatedness, yet not as a static "thing," not even as a "poem," sweated out, but with the rhythmic feel of the unworded wild truth. "Wave," a recent poem, simultaneously perceives, creates, and leaps over form in this way:
Grooving clam shell,
streakt through marble,
sweeping down ponderosa pine
rip-cut tree grain
sand-dunes, lava
Wave wife.
"veiled; vibrating; vague"
sawtooth ranges pulsing;
veins on the back of the hand.
Fork out: birdsfoot-alluvium
great dunes rolling
Each inch rippld, every grain a wave.
Leaning against sand cornices til they blow away
—wind, shake
stiff thorns of cholla, ocotillo
sometimes I get stuck in thickets—
Ah, trembling spreading radiating wyf
racing zebra
catch me and fling me wide
To the dancing grain of things
of my mind!
The solidity in Snyder's writing, which is often commented on, results from the fact that his ideas, like the verse rhythms, flow from close attention to wilderness, unmediated perception of grain and wave. The total structure appears in startling systematic clarity, once one gets used to the point of view. Thing/rhythm/idea, over and over, so that the meanings are inextricable from the settings. The contrasting point of view, where there is always the anthropocentric splitting which prevents things from expressing completely their innate rhythms, and which keeps things from entering our heads in fullness, should immediately be more familiar in our unpoetic culture. We tend to mark everything according to its vulnerability. But this grasping approach seals itself off from authentic experience by refusing the integrity or self-nature of things: rocks, trees, people … anything. This integrity is what is meant by wildness; according to Snyder, it takes a consciously primitive sensibility to know it and respect it, that is, one not overlaid with the programmed covetousness our culture seems to demand. Poets have to deal from authentic experience in order to communicate the wild truth of the matter, which is, Snyder holds, "at deep levels common to all who listen." He describes the moment of connection between feeling and making, in Earth House Hold:
The phenomenal world experienced at certain pitches is totally living, exciting, mysterious, filling one with a trembling awe, leaving one grateful and humble. The wonder of the mystery returns direct to one's own senses and consciousness: inside and outside, the voice breathes, "Ah!"
So far, our culture has managed to include this untamed poetic mind as a kind of occasional delight or relief, thus blotting up its power. As Herbert Marcuse and many others since One-Dimensional Man have commented, it has been the peculiar strength of the instrumental, technological culture to be able to make tame commodities out of potentially revolutionary states of consciousness. The taming of the mind has kept even pace with the taming of the outer wilderness; conventional-romantic nostalgia is a good example of the parallelism I am suggesting. It is perfectly powerless to regain its lost paradise, its noble savage or gentle woods-bowers, because its civilized formulations are only half real. There have been writers from Blake onward, to be sure, who have seen that we stand to lose immensely by conquering the world; but very few—Thoreau, Jeffers, Snyder, perhaps alone—have made the connection between outer and inner wilderness, and have dared to suggest that a primitive mind can understand it most clearly. The direct link between the two sides of wild integrity is the ground of the ecological values. Perceiving the link enables one to stand with and among, yet retaining and developing the consciousness of membership—or the ironies of mental separateness. Either way, this sort of perception calls into question the major assumptions of Western civilization. By going beyond both technohumanist instrumentalism and cutely impotent romanticism, this approach builds a whole new mind. "Poets," Snyder writes, "as few others, must live close to the world that primitive men are in … "and poetry itself, in this world, becomes "an ecological survival technique."
It is perhaps expectable that Snyder contrasts the primitive/poetic mind with the world of "nationalism, warfare, heavy industry and consumership," which are "already outdated and useless," but what is not so expectable is that he has developed a forthrightly revolutionary system of ideas on his poetic perceptions. With the exceptions again of Thoreau, and possibly. Jeffers, most of our wilderness poets have been rather passive regretters of the destruction closing in on them. But Snyder speaks, almost millenially, of healing. There are ways to the ecological mind, and they can be shown; people are more ready than ever. "The traditional cultures are in any case doomed, and rather than cling to their good aspects hopelessly it should be remembered that whatever is or ever was in any other culture can be reconstructed from the unconscious [our inner side of the vast pool of wilderness], through meditation. In fact, it is my own view that the coming revolution will close the circle and link us in many ways with the most creative aspect of our archaic past."
It might be argued that this progressivism, reversed as it is, shows Snyder's American heritage. In an outward, ideological sense, yes; but the core of it is the ecological understanding, the primitive (primal) sense of things. In turn, the chief ingredients of the ecological understanding seem to me to be Snyder's American West wilderness experience—he has worked as a logger, fire lookout, and trail crew-man, and has backpacked and climbed extensively in California, Oregon, and Washington, working on the actual skills of primitive ecology and developing close ties to several Indian tribes—on the one side, and his formal, disciplined study of Buddhism on the other, beginning in 1956 in Kyoto.
Although it is somewhat tempting to read Snyder's going to the Zen temple in Kyoto as a resolution for tensions generated during 1952–56, when he worked part of the time as a tool of the anthropocentric culture (as a logger), and when he came to the end of conventional graduate-school climbing, I think Snyder's intellectual history is not a simple move from West to East. On the early end, he had been disenchanted with Christianity since childhood. "Animals don't have souls," he had been told as a child; making the connection between this pronouncement and the general Western ethos had been his intellectual work for years before 1956. This, along with positive motivations, resulted in a kind of textual Buddhism, especially when Snyder became reasonably expert in Chinese while at Berkeley, and one can see the going to Kyoto as merely putting theory into practice. On the other end, after the Zen training, Snyder has repeatedly shown his independence of traditional structures. His Buddhism is not programmatic. "Institutional Buddhism has been conspicuously ready to accept or ignore the inequalities and tyrannies of whatever political system it found itself under," he wrote in 1961, showing that left-anarchist, IWW ideas from working in the logging industry were not abandoned in favor of quietism. And the wild, original reference point, the special Snyder flavor, is shown in comments like this one from Earth House Hold:
The Far Eastern love of nature has become fear of nature: gardens and pine trees are tormented and controlled. Chinese nature poets were too often retired bureaucrats living on two or three acres trimmed by hired gardeners. The professional nature-aesthetes of modern Japan, tea-teachers and flower-arrangers, are amazed to hear that only a century ago dozens of species of birds passed through Kyoto where today only swallows and sparrows can be seen: and the aesthetes can scarcely distinguish those.
My point is that Snyder has not been susceptible to either gross cultural influences or temporary currents, but has always seemed to measure things according to a primal standard of wild ecology. The basic materials of this he learned in the West. The Buddhist training has been extremely important, I do not doubt, and the steeping in Oriental writing, particularly Chinese poetry, has helped Snyder as a poet; but I am suggesting that he is now into something like a world-relevant fusion, a planetary consciousness, both in ideas and techniques. Berkeley Professor Thomas Parkinson writes, "He has effectively done something that for an individual is extremely difficult: he has created a new culture, and I think this may very well be the case. At the least, Snyder has provided the articulation, both in his poems and now in Earth House Hold, that can shape the generalized, inchoate desire for an ecological life.
As a cultural figure, his durability is evidenced by his fame having outlasted all three of the major movements in the American West since World War II—the Beat Generation, the Zen interest of the 50's, and the Hippies of the 60's. The strong points of these currents—creative alienation from robotlife, purified mind, and gentle community, respectively—had been present in Snyder's work from the start, and his steady focus on wilderness clarity helped him avoid the well-publicized pitfalls along the way. Thus he has always seemed ahead of the times, which is essential for a popular American bard-seer. Another, more fundamental requirement for such a figure is that his work, thought, and life be of a piece; as I hope I have shown, it is almost inevitable that this be true of the ecological vision. In our accelerating re-examination of civilization in the light of enduring perceptions and longings, it is not too much to suggest that Gary Snyder's insights can be extremely valuable.

I've been touting for weeks that I am going to do this before my GBS swab to prevent the infection, but now that my test is 12 days away and I actually have to do it, I am kind of freaking out!
I'm reading conflicting info about how to do it. Will a whole clove work, or do I have to cut in in half or add slits? (I've heard that any kind of cut on the clove will cause it to burn.) Can I wrap it in cheesecloth, or will the extra layer nullify the effect? How bad/strong can I expect the garlic taste to be in my mouth? How long must I leave it in for it to truly be effective? (I've heard everything from 15 min per to to overnight.)
And I'm terrified of losing it "up there."
Can anyone offer me any advice or words of reassurance? And tell me that it worked for you??? Thanks!

Looking for something to stuff into a silk-lined stocking for that special someone whom already has it all? How about a Louis Vuitton-brand teddy bear priced at $9,000?
The savoir-faire toy bear actually was an item that came out years ago, according to fashion blog Glamour.com. It was released to coincide with the Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2004-05 menswear line. Five hundred were made and sent out to VIPs around the world.
Those same posh bears are now available at the Tokyo Toy store in New York City, which is renown for stocking its shelves with rare and pricey items.
Blogger Danica Lo, a former model for Wilhelmina and author of "How Not to Look Fat," suggests that the LV Teddy bear is what Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's baby, North West, needs. Perhaps Kanye should buy two so that Kim doesn't get jealous.

Serena Williams upset in Key Biscayne final
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. Rising from her chair following the final changeover, Serena Williams glanced at her skirt and brushed away some lint, trying to look good in defeat.
It wasn't easy. A sore leg and erratic strokes were too much to overcome, and the top-ranked Williams was upset 6-3, 6-1 Saturday by 19-year-old Victoria Azarenka in the final of the Sony Ericsson Open.
Williams said her left thigh began bothering her in the quarterfinals, and she also was bothered by a sprained ankle.
"It was a little difficult moving to the left and a little bit to the right," she said.
With a chuckle, she added, "A little forward was also difficult."
The loss ended Williams' reign on Key Biscayne. She was bidding for a record sixth women's title and her third in a row. Instead, she fell to 38-2 in the tournament since 2001, with the only other loss to her sister Venus.
"I'm not that bummed, because I feel like there's next year," Williams said. "And then there's the year after and the year after."
The result heralded the emergence of Azarenka of Belarus, who trains in Scottsdale, Ariz., and will improve to a career-high No. 8 next week.
Novak Djokovic will bid for his second Key Biscayne men's title Sunday against Andy Murray, the tournament's first British finalist.
Williams played with her thigh taped, and even when she wasn't on the move, her strokes lacked consistency. She served poorly and had trouble putting Azarenka's 90 mph serves into play.
Williams limped at times and said she considered pulling out before the match.
"I don't like to not play," she said. "I gave the effort that I could give today. That's all I could give."
Azarenka quickly realized Williams wasn't 100 percent and took advantage with pinpoint strokes to the corners.
"You could see the leg tape right away," Azarenka said. "But I wasn't really paying attention too much, because I had to play my game, and I had to keep her moving as much as I could."
Williams led 3-2 before Azarenka won five consecutive games to take control. The teenager also won the final five games and closed out the biggest win of her career when Williams sailed a backhand long. Azarenka tossed away her racket, covered her face and hopped to the net.
Her voice shook during the trophy ceremony.
"I'm sorry. I think I forget my English right now," she told the crowd. "It was such an honor for me to play Serena. She's the greatest player for me. I was so happy to be able to play her and win."
For Azarenka, it was a big improvement on their match in the fourth round at the Australian Open in January, when she became sick to her stomach beforehand and lost.
Azarenka said she battled nerves Saturday, but they betrayed her only with an occasional double-fault. She was so poised serving in the final game that when she challenged a call and was advised the replay system had malfunctioned, she smiled and won the next point.

It's What's on the Inside That Counts
I drew this for a friend who used to be a cast member at the Disneyland theme park years ago. During backstage breaks, he'd get hit on by the gay midget who wore the Donald Duck costume. Please refrain from "It's a Small World" or "The Happiest Place on Earth" jokes. Too easy.

This is my sweet little Maltese Dog, Snowdrop. Her pretty face is framed with beautiful pink and red roses. We have a Website which you can visit, there is a link on my Profile Page. Maltese are small dogs in the toy group and are sometimes called Bichon Maltaise. The breed is considered to be an adored pet and highly demanded show dog. The Maltese descends from one of the most ancient dog breeds to be found in all recorded history. It has been estimated that the breed originated around 6,000 B.C., which is about 8,000 years ago! The ancient Greeks and Romans believed the dog came from Malta, there is no real evidence that actually proves this to be the case. The breed was distributed as an exotic article of trade from Malta, and...

Advice & Support
After abuse starts, it usually gets
worse if steps are not taken to stop it. If you are in an abusive relationship,
ask for help. This may be hard, but know that you are not alone. Help is available.
If you feel threatened, it is very important to develop a plan
for dealing with a threatening situation. If your partner has threatened to
harm you or your child, seek help.
Here are some other things you can do:
If you are no longer living with a violent partner, contact
the police to get a restraining order if your abuser
continues to pursue you, threaten you, or act violently toward you.
If you have been a victim of abuse and continue to have problems related
to the abuse, you may have depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). For more
information, see the topics Depression and
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Here are some
things you can do to help a friend or family member.
The most important step is to help your friend contact local
domestic violence groups. There are programs across the country that provide
options for safety, support, needed information and services, and legal
support. To find the nearest program, call:
If problems from
domestic abuse become more frequent or severe, call your doctor to determine if and when you need to see your
doctor or get other help.

Denise Bonitto, Harrison's neighbor in Yonkers, knows she can't afford to lose too many days at work or she'll lose her welfare benefits.
"I get up every morning, and I deal with seniors at the senior citizen center," said Bonitto.
For 20 hours a week, Bonitto, 46, feeds seniors their meals and plans activities for them.
"I enjoy the work, but at the same token, I wish I could get a paycheck for it," said Bonitto. "I have to work for my 'outgoing needs' welfare check."
Bonitto said she gets $147 every two weeks for her "outgoing needs."
The money is meant to cover non-food costs for herself, her 16-year-old daughter and her grandchild. But Bonitto extends that money for a fourth person in the household: her 22-year-old son who has cerebral palsy and seizures.
"What they give us is ridiculous. They're bringing back slavery, to say it in a polite way," said Bonitto. "If you've got to be at work from 9 to 2, how are you supposed to find a job?"
When the WIC benefits run out for Bonitto's family, she, too, goes to the food pantry. But even that can require referrals from the Salvation Army or forms from the welfare office, she said.
"We're barely making it," said Bonitto.
To help herself, Bonitto joined the Community Voices Heard.
"We fight for low-income families; we're fighting to save our homes," she said.
Bonitto also finds assistance with her neighbor, Harrison.
"Phyllis baby-sits for me and my daughter; we're all on DSS," she said.
Agencies that track child care say relying on neighbors and friends to watch children is a sure sign of a recession.
"We are getting reports from all around the country of people making the decision basically to save money by taking children out of child care," said Linda Smith, executive director of the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies in Arlington, Va.
"They can't not make the rent payment, they have to make the utilities, so what can they do? Take the children out of child care," said Smith. "The question is then: Where do they go?"
Smith's organization has been able to track some trends of child care when kids are pulled out of day care: Grandparents watch more children, as do relatives, neighbors and friends.
More worrisome to Smith is the decision to take rotating day and night shift work so that one parent is always at home.
"But if the parent's sleeping during the day, what care is the child getting? Is the child just parked in front of the TV?" asked Smith.
What Smith and the National Association of Child Care Resource and Referral Agencies cannot be sure of is the quality of care children are receiving.
"If they're a school age child, they're probably going home after school," she said. "If they're preschool aged, they're probably bouncing around from neighbors to friends, to anyone who will take them."
Of course, Smith said some of this care might be quality. But some may not.
"The biggest predictor in good child outcomes is consistency with a relationship, with a caregiver," said Smith. "We, as a nation, need to stand back and look at this and say, 'What is the view of the child?'"

2011 Fearless Predictions
Final Thoughts, Week
9, Part
By Matt Zemek
BYU-TCU: The team that used to be in the Mountain West against the team that is - but won't soon be - in the Mountain West. The team that wants to be in the Big 12 (but won't be) against the team that landed in the Big 12 (after going to the Big East but then watching that conference crumble). The newest Independent against the school that's been thrown around the conferences with remarkable regularity since 1995. It's the perfect Realignment Bowl.
MICHIGAN STATE-NEBRASKA: Location, location, location. Put this puppy in East Lansing, and Sparty wins. Not in Lincoln, though, and especially not with a sleepyhead 11:05 a.m. local time kickoff. The Big Ten Legends Division is still Michigan State's to lose, but Nebraska should pull through here.
MISSOURI-TEXAS A&M: Um, about BYU-TCU being the Realignment Bowl......... I suppose this would be the Realignment SEC Championship Game, then. Another interesting coincidence in this game: Missouri quarterback James Franklin is this year's version of 2010 A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson.
NORTHWESTERN-INDIANA: One team will win its first Big Ten game of the season. Ruh-roh, Pat Fitzgerald.
SYRACUSE-LOUISVILLE: How in blazes is Louisville favored? How in the Sam Hill does Jersey Shore get higher ratings than Mad Men? What in tarnation makes young Americans watch 62-7 NFL games more than Game 4 of the World Series?
ARKANSAS-VANDERBILT: If the Commodores spring the upset, one can feel pretty confident in calling James Franklin one of the ascendant coaches in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
BAYLOR-OKLAHOMA STATE: The score of last year's Baylor-OSU game in Stillwater? 55-28 in favor of the team not named Baylor. The score of Baylor's most recent game, an Oct. 15 contest against Texas A&M? 55-28 in favor of the team not named Baylor. Any questions? I thought not.
OKLAHOMA-KANSAS STATE: Since the Sooners are steaming mad after a loss, and since Kansas State is a run-first offense instead of a pass-first offense, it is legitimate - debatable, but legitimate - to claim that a Wildcat victory here would represent a bigger upset than the 2003 Big 12 Championship Game. Ell Roberson would probably agree, no? And for those of you who want to bury Bob Stoops, a question: Do you really think the Sooners will fail to win yet another conference title? We should all have Oklahoma's problems. (Landry Jones, though, will not make it in the NFL - that seems abundantly clear by now.)
ILLINOIS-PENN STATE: If the Illinois team that didn't show up at Purdue shows up in Happy Valley, that means Illinois won't show up, right? The riddle that is Ron Zook continues. Meanwhile, if the Illinois team that didn't show up at Purdue shows up in Happy Valley, Penn State will be 5-0 in the Big Ten and 8-1 overall entering November... without being significantly tested in the league. Who are you, Big Ten, and what have you done with good football this season?
GEORGIA-FLORIDA: Wait - stop me if you've encountered this scenario before: Georgia, after wobbling a bit in the early stages of a season, gets things back on track and carries high hopes for an SEC East title into Jacksonville. How does this story end? Can anyone help me out here? What's the post-Vince Dooley narrative on the banks of the St. John's River? Yes, Aaron Murray, you have a lot of history, mojo, juju, and other funky four-letter words to overcome this Saturday. And no, Mr. Murray, you shouldn't be trusted. Time to slay some demons, young fella, and make a name for yourself in the Georgia football pantheon.
WEST VIRGINIA-RUTGERS: The Big East desperately needs West Virginia to run the table before it runs off to the Big 12. If the Mountaineers can't win this game, the Big East champion will quite possibly come from the winner of the Cincinnati-Rutgers game. Yes, that sentence was just written. Yes, that sentence caused my stomach to turn. Just watch: A Clemson team that's been dying for a premium January bowl experience will win its way to the Orange Bowl... and play Cincinnati in front of 15,000 empty seats in Miami. It would be Clemson-level luck, to be sure.
NAVY-NOTRE DAME: Seriously - what sane parent would want his kid to play quarterback for Brian Kelly, given the way in which the Fighting Irish coach throws his signal callers under the bus? Even Terry Dean thinks the Steve Spurrier of 1993 treated him better than Kelly is treating Dayne Crist these days.
WAKE FOREST-NORTH CAROLINA: Wake Forest is itching to get to Clemson, but the game that will determine if the Demon Deacons are a decidedly above-average team (or just an average team) is this challenge in Chapel Hill.
SMU-TULSA: Conference USA's feature games should get more national exposure, given the mediocre nature of the past few weekly schedules. The week nine slate is a lot better than week seven or week eight, so it's a little easier to understand that this game will fall off most people's radar screens. Nevertheless, the three-team battle for C-USA West begins in earnest with this Pony-Hurricane hoedown in Oklahoma. Perhaps C-USA should consider more Friday night scheduling in order to be noticed... or, wonder of wonders, maybe the league should make its Thursday night games the featured attractions on the schedule, instead of downmarket games such as UCF-UAB or Rice-Houston.
SOUTH CAROLINA-TENNESSEE: Remember "Auburn 3, Mississippi State 2" from 2008? You might see the replay here. Alshon Jeffery can't throw passes to himself, and Tauren Poole can't hand the ball off to himself. Two depleted offenses will serve their own team's best interests by avoiding crippling mistakes and putting punters in position to knock wedge shots inside the 10-yard line. If this game produces two touchdown drives of at least 5 plays and 70 yards, I will be stunned. Maybe South Carolina will get an 80-yard touchdown pass to Jeffery on a jump ball, and maybe Poole will break a 75-yard run against a Carolina blitz, but sustained marches aren't likely to occur. Not in this production of "Backups In Knoxville: Fright Night At Neyland."
Defenses and special teams might not directly score touchdowns, but they are likely to set up more scores than the offenses can generate on their own. Drive starts between the 50 and the opponent's 35 are hardly guaranteed to produce points. The team that forces more turnovers inside its opponent's 20 will win, and the team that gives up the ball more times inside its own 20 will lose. If you don't get paid to watch football, don't watch this game. You have been warned.
WISCONSIN-OHIO STATE: Everything I believed about Russell Wilson - that he shrinks in big games, demonstrates a Jekyll-and-Hyde pattern on the field, and does not possess the mentality of a champion - was validated last weekend in East Lansing. The Badgers are lucky that Ohio State's offense is so pitiful this year; otherwise, they'd get eaten for dinner in Columbus.
STANFORD-USC: Lane Kiffin, Patron Saint Of The Martyrs, O Font Of Undue And Unmerited Arrogance, the people of South Bend, Indiana - and Palo Alto, California - will flock to Mass on Sunday morning, just so you know. They will pack the pews and say prayers of thanksgiving. Why? They'll be thanking the good Lord for humbling you through the presence of Andrew Luck, who will eviscerate your defense and give your team an abrupt dose of reality. You will then lack the ability to martyr yourself again. How about coaching your team the way you did against Notre Dame - it was your best performance on a sideline as a head coach - and keeping your trap shut until you, you know, ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING in your coaching career?
CLEMSON-GEORGIA TECH: Georgia Tech will naturally throw the kitchen sink at Clemson. The Yellow Jackets' season is on the line; a loss here will basically wrap up another ACC Coastal Division title for Virginia Tech. It's a road night game for the Tigers, so this game offers a possibility for a trendy "non-upset upset" pick. However, Clemson avoided a landmine at Maryland, overcoming its penchant for slipping on the banana peel. Clemson might lose in the ACC Championship Game, but the sense here is that the Tigers will hold the fort until then. Georgia Tech's passing game simply has to answer the call in this tilt and hit those big-play bombs Paul Johnson depends on.

Follow me on Twitter:
-Yes, there are actually games this weekend. Just look past the Bama/LSU hype for a couple of hours.
- The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party is not a must-win game for Georgia head coach Mark Richt. Even with a loss to Florida, Georgia can still make it to the SEC Championship Game because South Carolina sans Marcus Lattimore probably has two SEC losses still on the docket. On paper, Georgia has the clear advantage over Florida; but this game isn't played on paper, it's played in Jacksonville. When Georgia sees that Florida helmet in person, the Bulldogs immediately become the underdog - I don't care what their record is. Georgia could come in as 30-point favorites, and I still wouldn't pick the Bulldogs. Eighteen of the last 21 games, that'd be the right pick. History repeats itself.
- Clemson will "pull a Clemson" at some point, but it won't be this week. Georgia Tech has been the anti-Tech in ACC games, and it has been the offense that has been struggling. To beat Clemson, you have to outscore them. Tech isn't capabale of doing that right now. Clemson cruises, and keeps on livin' right.
- Stanford is still a bit of a mystery since the toughest team the Cardinal has played is Washington. Despite the sanctions, USC has remained competitive. Matt Barkley's star re-emerges, and the Trojans knock off Stanford.
- At roughly the same time, Boise State will rejoice.
- South Carolina will get a game from Tennessee, despite the Vols starting true freshman quarterback Justin Worley. Without running back Marcus Lattimore and with Connor Shaw taking the snaps, the Gamecocks are a middle-of-the-road SEC team at best.
- Kansas State, you're catching Oklahoma at the worst possible time. I apologize in advance for what's about to happen.
- Houston Nutt, if your Ole Miss Rebels are the tonic that fixes the Auburn offense, don't bother getting on the airplane back to Oxford.
- I ask almost every week - can we put a halt to the realignment talk for 24 hours and enjoy some football on Saturday?
Final Thoughts, Week
9, Part

"They ask me what I'd like written about me when I'm gone. I hope they write I made Penn State a better place, not just that I was a good football coach."
To put into words the emotion I'm feeling as I write this is impossible. So many thoughts, sayings, and images are at the forefront but none can be put down. Penn State is my school, the only school I wanted to attend coming out of high school. I wasn't a football player, had no desire to walk onto the field trying to earn a spot on the team, but I wanted to attend Penn State.
I knew years before even considering what college to attend who Joe Paterno was. Aside from the football aspect, I knew what he was doing for the university outside of it, making an education his first priority.
For 61 years, that was what he preached. For 16 years, he stayed as an assistant under Rip Engle, then became head coach in 1966, and from that point on made it his goal to make an impact on the school, but do so by preaching an education to be the first priority. If one can't perform in the classroom, they can't perform on the field.
Now, as I sit on my couch watching highlight reels of the Paterno legacy, I can't help but think that some people will think the legacy of Paterno is tarnished because of how his career ended.
Maybe that's a valid point to some extent, but his legacy is not tarnished because of one bad decision.
However, how can you erase years of legacy in just one evening?
November 9, 2011, is a day that Penn State fans, alumni, and students never thought would happen. We all knew at some point Paterno would decide to walk away from his post, but never pictured the idea of getting a phone call saying he was relieved of his duties. Some fans reacted with anger, rioting in a place that is nicknamed "Happy Valley" that ended up causing damage and leading to arrests.
I know Paterno wouldn't want that, and didn't want that. But, that day in essence brought an end not just to a coaching career, but the life of a man who seemed to only live for one reason...Penn State.
Days later, diagnosed with lung cancer. Soon after, admitted to the hospital.
All the while, the lasting image of Penn State was a scandal that many believe shouldn't happen at an institution such as Penn State. Unfortunately, the focus shifted to Paterno rather than focusing on the real story, and ultimately led to a downward spiral for a legendary man.
Many media outlets believe that Paterno passed away because of a broken heart, or had lost his will to live.
To be honest, that's a very accurate statement.
Penn State took away something that Paterno loved to do. It wasn't the fact that he gave to the university, erected a library for students, nor any of the contributions he gave just because he loved Penn State. His passion was coaching, and coaching at Penn State. Numerous times Paterno stated that he loved Penn State, and the State College area. He loved what he did, and loved the impact he had on young men's lives.
Take that love away, and in a way the man had nothing left to live for.
But let's not remember how Paterno died, whether it be a broken heart or because of cancer. Let's not remember that he was terminated amidst a scandal.
Instead, let's remember the man who decided to forego a career in law to become a coach, a man who turned down offers to coach in the NFL to stay at one school. Let's think of the man who went on to win 409 games, coach in 35 bowls, win 24 of those games, and take home two national championships.
Let's remember him as a man that just loved his job.
"I felt that this is where I would be happier, and that I could do more good," Paterno said in 2011. That is the Paterno that everyone, whether a fan of Penn State or not, should remember.
He was a man of integrity, and ultimately he lived up to what his father told him when he first got into coaching.
"Make an impact," his father said. That's exactly what Paterno has done...make an impact, not just as a coach, but as a man.
Rest in peace Coach Paterno, you have made an impact.

Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty suffered neck fracture and a severe concussion as result of a brutal headfirst collision with a divider after a check from Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara on Tuesday night.
Montreal coach Jacques Martin described Pacioretty's neck injury Wednesday as a non-displaced fracture of the fourth cervical vertebrae. Pacioretty appears to have avoided an injury to his spinal cord.
"Max will remain at the hospital for further observation," Martin said in a statement. "There will be no other prognosis for the time being, but he will obviously be out indefinitely. The most important thing for our organization right now is Max's recovery. We will continue following recommendations from the doctors and of course, Max and his immediate family would appreciate privacy in this matter."
Pacioretty lay on the ice for several minutes, but was conscious and able to move his extremities as he was transported to the hospital. Here's a link to our orginial story (with video) and another post on whether Chara, who was given an interference minor and ejected, should be suspended.
Chara had a confernce call with league officials earlier today, The Boston Globe reports.

The Unobserved StarThe little star was sad. Quantum didn't believe in it, and that means a lot to a star. Without quantum you can't have fission, and without fission a star is nothing.
The thing was, the star was alone. It was a few billion light years to the nearest gallery. It was so lonely it would put up with a name like NGC 9738 just to have an astronomer dream of it.
A planet would be worth its weight in god.
Eventually the star got so heavy-hearted that it collapsed into blackness. Friendships with spaghetti don't last long, but nor do unobservèd stars.
The dogs don't howl.
In the dark kitchen we make cups of tea
And our hollow stares shift from our hands to the floor
The dogs don't howl
Though somehow we feel they should
We have nothing to say
Happiness would be unfeeling
Mourning is taboo
It was like this last week
My father is in the kitchen
Finishing his supper
My sister is in her bedroom
Crying about death
And I am standing in the unlit hallway

Listen Up, Data Center Managers!
August 20, 2010
Listening well is a key component of being a master communicator. CIOUpdate columnist Alan Carroll explains why it's important to open your mind to allow new ideas to filter in to your ears.
To become a master communicator you need to first become a master listener. One of the challenges to becoming a master listener is being fully present. By filtering what is being said through your own conceptual conditioning your IT leadership abilities will be reduced.
Why is master listening critical to the success of your organization? Because the rise and fall of organizations depends on the ability of the leader to detach (at least momentarily) from past thoughts and conditioning and give space to new ideas that could very well represent the future direction the organization needs to take in order to survive.
Now, let's explore the next step, which is learning how to detach from that conditioning and be fully present with the other person. Please remember my coaching from the first column, which was to listen from the place of possibility rather then listening from assessing, judging and comparing what I say to your database of knowledge.
When we are born we have something within us that is analogous to flash memory storage device (FMSD) or your database of knowledge. At birth, the device for the most part is empty. And then, throughout our lives, every time we experience something, learn a new idea, or gather a new fact, it is stored in our flash memory and becomes part of our identity. Psychologically speaking this FMSD can be referred to as your mind, ego, I, me or the little voice inside your head that judges and evaluates every event that occurs in your field of now.
