The following list includes brain disorders where
much is known of the cause, neuropathology and associated clinical
manifestations, and brain disorders for which much (cause, specific
neuropathology) remains a mystery and the diagnosis reflects more of a
behavioral description of symptoms.
Summary information on prevalence, incidence, and other
demographics were extracted from August, 2006 through the present from the web site links provided. Please go to
suggested web sites for more detailed information on the brain disorder or
disability of interest. Please contact us if a brain disorder or disability is not
on the list or if information is otherwise inaccurate or incomplete or if the
link is broken.
(see also Leukodystrophy)
The prevalence of the most common form,
adrenoleukodystrophy, is approximately 1 in 20,000 individuals worldwide.
Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum
A rare disorder present at birth affecting the structure of the brain
connecting the two hemispheres, and one that can have mild to severe
effects depending upon the extent of brain abnormalities.
Gender-specific characteristics may be present, as well as other related
malformations of the body.
Alzheimer's Disease
Four million people in the U.S. are estimated to have Alzheimer's disease,
which usually begins after age 65. About 3% of men and women ages 65-74
have Alzheimer's, and approximately half of the elderly over age 85 may
have the disease.
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig's
Approximately 5,600 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis (ALS) each year. The incidence of ALS is 2 per 100,000
people, and as many as 30,000 Americans may have the disease at any
given time.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders, the most common
mental illness in America, affect more than 19 million people each year,
and cost the U.S. $46.6 billion in 1990 in direct and indirect costs,
nearly one-third of the nation's total mental health bill of $148
Arachnoid Cyst
Arachnoid cysts are rare. They are cerebrospinal fluid-filled
sacs that are located between the brain or spinal cord and the arachnoid
membrane, one of the three membranes that cover the brain and spinal
Arnold-Chiari Malformation
Chiari malformation was thought to
occur in about 1 per 1,000 births. However, increased use of diagnostic
imaging demonstrates the disorder may be much more common.
Asperger Syndrome
Asperger syndrome is conservatively estimated to occur in as many as 2
per 10,000 children, with boys 3 to 4 times more likely to have the
Ataxia Telangiectasia
Ataxia telangiectasia is estimated
to occur in about 1 in 40,000 to 100,000 births.
Attention Deficit Disorder
disorder occurs in as many as 1 in 20 children, with a boy to girl
ratio of 3 to 1.
By recent estimates, as many as 14
out of 10,000 children may have autism spectrum disorders. In the U.S.,
about 125,000 individuals have these disorders, and nearly 4,000
families across the country have two or more children with autism.
Approximately, 3 times as many boys as girls have autism.
Bipolar Disorder
At least 2 million Americans have
bipolar disorder which typically begins in adolescence or early
adulthood and continues throughout life. Although not common, bipolar
disorder has been diagnosed in children under age 12.
Borderline Personality Disorder
Borderline personality disorder affects approximately 2% of adults,
mostly young women. There is a high rate of self-injury, suicide
attempts and completed suicide in severe cases. Patients often need
extensive mental health services, and account for 20 percent of
psychiatric hospitalizations.
Brain Injury
Each year in the U.S.,
1.4 million individuals sustain traumatic brain injury (TBI): 50,000 die; 235,000 are hospitalized; and 1.1 million are
treated and released. Among children ages 0 to 14 years, TBI results in
an estimated: 2,685 deaths; 37,000 hospitalizations; and 435,000
emergency department visits annually.
Brain Tumor
More than 200,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with a primary or
metastatic brain tumor each year. Brain tumors are the leading cause of
solid tumor cancer death in children under 20 years, and are the second
leading cause of cancer death in male adults 20 to 29 years, and the
fifth leading cause of cancer death in female adults 20 to 39 years.
Central Pain Syndrome
A neurological condition caused by damage to or dysfunction of the
central nervous system following stroke, multiple sclerosis, tumors,
epilepsy, brain or spinal cord trauma, or Parkinson's disease resulting

Cephalic Disorders
Rare congenital disorders that stem from damage to or abnormal
development of the budding nervous system.
Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome
DePaul University researchers estimate chronic fatigue syndrome affects
approximately 422 per 100,000 persons in the U.S. which translates into
as many as 800,000 people nationwide affected by this syndrome. The
majority (90%) have not been diagnosed and are not receiving proper
medical care for their illness.
A rare congenital brain abnormality
in which the occipital horns - the posterior or rear portion of the
lateral ventricles of the brain - are larger than normal because white
matter in the posterior cerebrum has failed to develop or thicken.
Creutzfeldt - Jakob Disease
The incidence of Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease in the U.S. is thought to be 1 in 9000 adults 55 years and
older. Approximately 85% of the cases are sporadic, which means there
is no known cause at present.
Dandy-Walker Syndrome
Dandy-Walker Syndrome is a rare congenital malformation of the
cerebellum and the fluid filled spaces around it.
The lifetime prevalence of major depression is 24% for women and 15% for
men. Approximately, 1 in 4 women will experience clinical depression in
her lifetime, and 1 in 10 mothers meets the criteria for depression
postpartum. Although men are less likely to have depression, 3 to 4
million men in the U.S. are affected by the illness. Finally, as many as
1 in 33 children and 1 in 8 adolescents have depression.
Developmental Disabilities (see Learning and Developmental Disabilities)
Dystonia disorders affect about 30 of every 100,000 persons. Certain
types of dystonia in specific populations may have a greater prevalence.
For instance, Ashkenazi Jews have a high prevalence of a specific type
of dystonia, approximately 1 in 10,000, due to a mutation in the DYT1
Eating Disorders
An estimated 0.5 to 3.7% of females have anorexia nervosa and
between 1.1% to 4.2% have bulimia nervosa in their lifetime.
Anorexia and bulimia are far less common in males (only 5 to 15% of all
cases); 2 to 5% of Americans experience binge-eating disorder, 35% of
whom are male.
More than 2.7 million people in the U.S. of all ages are living with
epilepsy, and each year 181,000 Americans will develop seizures and
epilepsy for the first time.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Spectrum
The reported rates of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) vary
widely due to populations surveyed and methods used. CDC studies report
a range of 0.2 to 1.5 per 1,000 live births for FAS in different areas
of the U.S.. Other FASDs are believed to occur approximately 3 times as
often as FAS.
Over 6 million Americans, 90% of them women in the prime of their life,
have fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and sometimes struggle for years
before being correctly diagnosed. Symptoms usually appear between 20 to
55 years of age, but children are also diagnosed with FMS.
Hemimegalencephaly (see
HIV-Induced Dementia
Between 7 and 27% of U.S. patients with advanced HIV develop dementia,
and it is a common cause of death in late-stage AIDS. The life
expectancy for patients who receive no treatment for HIV dementia is
approximately six months.
Holoprosencephaly is a rare congenital disorder caused by the failure of
the prosencephalon (the embryonic forebrain) to sufficiently divide into
the double lobes of the cerebral hemispheres.
Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease affects men and women equally and has a prevalence
of about 1 in every 10,000 persons in most Western countries.
Hydranencephaly is a rare condition in which the brain's cerebral
hemispheres are absent and replaced by sacs filled with cerebrospinal
fluid. Many born with hydranencephaly die within first year of
life, but some children live for several or more years.
Hydrocephalus is believed to affect approximately 1 in every 500
children. However, incidence and prevalence data are difficult to
establish since there is no national registry of people with
hydrocephalus and closely associated disorders. Most cases are diagnosed
prenatally, at the time of delivery, or in early childhood.
Learning and Developmental
Learning and developmental disabilities are thought to occur in 1.4% of
the world's population.
The leukodystrophies are rare, and involve progressive degeneration of
the white matter of the brain due to imperfect growth or development of
the myelin sheath.
The prognosis for children with lissencephaly is dependent upon on the
degree of brain malformation; many will die before the age of 2, some
will survive, but show no significant development beyond a 3- to
5-month-old level, and still others may have near-normal development and
Macrancephaly (see
Mega Cisterna Magna (see Dandy Walker
(also called Macrancephaly)
Megalencephaly is a rare disorder
thought to be related to a disturbance in the regulation of cell
production in the brain.
Mental Retardation (see Learning and
Developmental Disabilities)
Children with microcephaly may have mental retardation, delayed motor
functions and speech, facial distortions, dwarfism or short stature,
hyperactivity, seizures, difficulties with coordination and balance, and
other brain or neurological abnormalities. Some will have only mild
disability and others will have normal intelligence and continue to
develop and meet regular age-appropriate milestones.
Multiple Sclerosiss
Today there are 350,000 to 500,000 people in the U.S. who have been
diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disorder that is more common in
women, and appears more frequently in whites than in Hispanics or
African Americans, and is relatively rare among Asians and other groups.
Non-Verbal Learning Disorder
Nonverbal learning disorders, or right-hemisphere dysfunction, affect one
of every ten children with a learning disability (Rourke, 1995;
Torgeson, 1993).
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Approximately 3.3 million Americans between 18 to 54 years old or 2.3%
of the U.S. population in that age group have obsessive-compulsive
disorder (OCD) in a given year. Men and women are equally affected, and
the disease typically begins during adolescence or early childhood.
Ohtahara Syndrome
A rare congenital brain disorder in which most infants show significant
underdevelopment of part or all of the cerebral hemispheres,
characterized by seizures from infancy.
Panic Disorder
Approximately 2.4 million Americans between 18 to 54 years of age or
1.7% of the U.S. population in that age group has panic disorder in a
given year. Panic disorder is twice as likely in women as men and
typically strikes in young adulthood.
Parkinson's Disease
At least 1 million people in the U.S. are estimated to have Parkinson's,
and perhaps half are thought to be undiagnosed. In general, both men and
women are affected equally and the appearance of first symptoms occurs
on average after the age of 50.
Periventricular nodular heterotopia
The prevalence is unknown for periventricular nodular heterotopia (PNH),
a brain malformation, caused by abnormal neuronal migration, in which a
subset of neurons fails to migrate into the developing cerebral cortex
and remains as nodules that line the ventricular surface.
Phobias occur in
7.8% of American adults. Phobias are the most common
psychiatric illness among women of all ages and are the second most
common psychiatric illness among men older than 25.
Post-partum Depression
Post-partum depression (PPD) is estimated to occur in approximately 10
to 20% of new mothers. It is a major form of depression and is less
common than postpartum blues. PPD includes all the symptoms of
depression but occurs only following childbirth, and can begin any time
after delivery for up to a year after the birth.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) is estimated to occur in 7.8% of Americans at some point in their lives, with women (10.4%) twice
as likely as men (5%) to develop the disorder. About 3.6% of U.S. adults
aged 18 to 54 (5.2 million people) have PTSD during the course of a
given year.
Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Progressive supranuclear palsy affects approximately 20,000 Americans,
or one in every 100,000 people over the age of 60. Patients suffer from
serious and permanent problems with control of gait and balance, are
usually middle-aged or elderly and more often male.
Rasmussen's Encephalitis
Rasmussen's encephalitis is a rare, chronic inflammatory disease that
usually affects only one hemisphere of the brain. Currently, it is
thought to be an autoimmune disease.
Rett Syndrome
Rett Syndrome was thought to occur in approximately 1 in 15,000 female
births until a recent gene discovery. Since that discovery, findings
suggest a milder form of the Syndrome occurs in larger numbers.
Schizoaffective Disorder
Approximately 1 in every 200 people (0.5%) develops schizoaffective
disorder at some point during his or her life. This disorder is one of
the most serious psychiatric disorders. More hospital beds are occupied
by persons with schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia than any
other psychiatric disorder.
Approximately 1 in every 100 (1%) of Americans have schizophrenia
which is usually diagnosed in the late teens and early 20s in men and in
the mid-20s to early 30s in women. The illness seldom occurs after age
45, and only rarely before puberty (though cases of schizophrenia in
children as young as 5 have been reported). Men and women are affected
equally, and similar rates of the illness occur around the world.
Sensory Processing Disorder
It is estimated that between 5—13 % of children entering school have SPD
and that 3 of 4 are boys.
http://www.thespiralfoundation.org/pdfs/Fact Sheet for Educators.pdf
Septo Optic Dysplasia
Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal
development of the optic disk, pituitary deficiencies, and often
agenesis (absence) of the septum pellucidum (the part of the brain that
separates the anterior horns or the lateral ventricles of the brain).
Sleep Disorders
Sleep disorders include sleep apnea (18 million Americans), narcolepsy
(1 million Americans), chronic insomnia (approximately 10-15% of
adults), and restless leg syndrome (10% of adults in North America and
Europe, and lower prevalence in India, Japan, and Singapore).
Smith-Magenis Syndrome
Th exact incidence is unknown, but estimates indicate SMS occurs in 1
out of every 25,000 births, which may be an underestimate as many are
thought to remain undiagosed due to lack of awareness of the syndrome.
More than 700,000 strokes occur each year in the U.S. It is the third
leading cause of death in the U.S. Stroke causes more serious long-term
disabilities than any other disease. Almost 75% of all strokes occur in
people over the age of 65, with the risk of a stroke doubling with each
decade after the age of 55. Stroke is more common and more deadly in
African Americans - occurring more frequently in this group even in
young and middle-aged adults.
Stuttering is estimated to occur in over 1 million Americans, and
affects individuals of all ages but most frequently occurs in young
children between the ages of 2 and 6. Boys are 3 times more likely to
stutter than girls. Most children outgrow their stuttering, with less
than 1% of adults still stuttering.
Tourette Syndrome
An estimated 200,000 Americans have Tourette Syndrome (TS), and possibly
as many as 1 in 100 people have a milder form of the disorder, such as
chronic or transient tics in childhood. Tourette's affects people of all
racial and ethnic groups and males are affected 3 to 4 times more often.
It is believed that TS affects 3 to 5 in every 10,000 individuals, and
about 10 in every 10,000 school-age children. Onset of TS and tics
typically occurs between the ages of 6 to 8 years old.
Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSE), or prion diseases, are
a group of rare degenerative brain disorders characterized by tiny holes
that give the brain a "spongy" appearance when brain tissue is viewed
under a microscope. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, fatal familial
insomnia, and Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker disease are included among
Tuberous Sclerosis
Tuberous sclerosis complex affects 25,000 to 40,000 Americans, and 1 to
2 million individuals worldwide. It is a rare multi-system genetic
disorder that causes benign tumors to grow in the brain and other organ
Williams Syndrome
Williams syndrome is a rare genetic condition estimated to occur in 1 of
20,000 births which causes medical and developmental problems, affects
males and females equally, and has been identified worldwide in all
ethnic groups.

Sugar and spice and slice-and-dice.
Women are not natural born killers. That's the commonly held belief, supported by crime statistics that show that 93% of all murders are committed by men. But, what about that 7% of women that do kill, the ones responsible for 16,000 murders a year? Are women killers different, somehow, than other women, or are they just regular women driven to acts of insanity by money, revenge or passion? Examining the motivations and methodologies of women killers is what makes our crime series Snapped (weekdays at 6pm ET/3pm PT) so wickedly fascinating.
As in real life, violent female characters comprise only a small percentage of the perpetrators of violence depicted on the big screen, but the truly terrifying ones make a lasting impression on us. Here's our rundown of the most infamous female characters in cinema, women that snapped and resorted to violence and even murder to achieve their goals.
Why She Snapped: Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) is novelist Paul Sheldon's (James Caan) number one fan, but the death of her favorite character, Misery Chastain, in his latest manuscript makes her furious. She drugs her idol, straps him to the bed and then shatters his ankles with a sledgehammer so that he can't leave until he writes a new novel in which Misery lives.
Infamous Movie Quotes
"I am your number one fan. There is nothing to worry about. You are going to be just fine. I am your number one fan." — Annie Wilkes
"Now the time has come. I put two bullets in my gun. One for me, and one for you. Oh darling, it will be so beautiful." — Annie Wilkes
Why She Snapped: For Alexandra "Alex" Forrest (Glenn Close), a romantic rendezvous with her handsome, married attorney Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas) was much more than just a fling, so when he explains that he is leaving to go home to his wife the rejection is too much for her and she slits her writs. Dan saves her life, but cuts all ties with Alex, even moving his family out of the city to be further away from her. This is too much for Alex to take and she begins to stalk and threaten Dan and his family, ultimately killing a family pet and attempting to kill Dan and his wife, Beth (Anne Archer).
Infamous Movie Quotes
"We were attracted to each other at the party, that was obvious! You're on your own for the night, that's also obvious... we're two adults." — Alex Forrest
"I'm not trying to hurt you, Dan. I love you! " — Alex Forrest
Why She Snapped: Perpetually lonely because of the death of her twin sister at the age of nine, Hedra "Hedy" Carlson (Jennifer Jason Leigh) thought she found a surrogate sister in her new roommate
Allison "Allie" Jones (Bridget Fonda). But, when Allie decides to move in with her boyfriend, Sam (Steven Weber), Hedy grows insanely jealous, throwing Allie's dog out of a window to its death and stabbing Sam in the eye with the heel of her stilettos before trying to kill her "sister."
Infamous Movie Quote
"You know, identical twins are never really identical. There's always one who's prettier...and the one who's not, does all the work... She used me, then she left me — just like you. " — Hedy Carlson
Why She Snapped: Unlike young Bruce Wayne, who forged his body and mind into a weapon and became the hero Batman (Michael Keaton) after surviving the murder of his parents, mousey secretary Selina Kyle had a complete mental break from reality after surviving a murder attempt by her boss Max Shrek (Christopher Walken) and turned herself into the vindictive, vicious Catwoman. After sparring with Batman and conniving with the Penguin, she electrocutes Shreck, seemingly losing her own life in the process.
"You killed me. The Penguin killed me. Batman killed me. That's three lives down — you got enough in there to finish me off?!" — Selina Kyle/Catwoman
"I'm a woman and can't be taken for granted. Life's a bitch, and now so am I." — Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Why She Snapped: Cold, calculating and without remorse, Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyk) is the kind of woman who will use whoever and whatever it takes to get what she wants. She seduces insurance salesman Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) into setting up her husband with an insurance policy and then murder him in such a way that it will appear accidental so she can collect $100,000 from the policy's Double Indemnity clause.
Infamous Movie Quote
"Whether it's love or hate, it doesn't matter. They can't keep away from each other. They may think it's twice as safe because there are two of them. But it isn't twice as safe. It's ten times twice as dangerous. They've committed a murder. And it's not like taking a trolley ride together where they can get off at different stops." — Barton Keyes (Edward G. Robinson)
Why She Snapped: After witnessing her parents being brutally murdered by a Yakuza crime boss and his men, O-Ren Ishii became mentally unstable. She spent two years training intensely and murdered the crime boss in his bed at the age of eleven. The death of the crime boss was not enough to satiate O-Ren's (Lucy Liu) thirst for blood, however, and she set about perfecting the ways of assassination, becoming one of the world's deadliest female assassins by the age of twenty and ultimately ruling the Tokyo Yakuza along with her hand-picked "Crazy 88" bodyguards.
"Look at me, Matsumoto. Take a good look at my face. Look at my eyes. Do I look familiar? Do I look like somebody... you murdered?" — O-Ren Ishii
"The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is... I collect your f***ing head. Just like this f***er here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got anything else to say, now's the f***ing time!" — O-Ren Ishii
Why She Snapped: The disgust she feels about her daughter's incestuous relationship with her husband's half-brother, prompts the ultra-religious Olivia (Louise Fletcher) to unleash holy fury upon her estranged family members. She lashes her daughter seventeen times with a bullwhip and locks the children away and starves them for a week, forcing one of children to feed his own blood to his brother to keep him alive.
Infamous Movie Quotes
"Look closely, children. Seventeen lashes. One for each year she lived in sin with your father. So that you understand me now, I will give you food and shelter, but never kindness or love. For it is impossible to feel anything but disgust for what is not wholesome." — Olivia Foxworth
Why She Snapped: When her uncle-husband dies, Corrine (Victoria Tennant) is left with four children and no money. Desperate for cash, she sheepishly returns home to make amends with her wealthy parents. When she discovers that she will be cut out of her sickly father's will if it is discovered that she had children, she allows her mother to lock the children away and starve them. She even poisons her own children with arsenic, killing one of the young twins.
"Cory had pneumonia. The doctors did all they could. There won't be a funeral, he's already been buried." — Corrine Dollanganger

However the deaf and dumb may have been regarded in times past and in other countries, the Supreme Court of Missouri holds, in the case of State v.

"Vaduz" Top 5 Page for this destination Vaduz by sue_stone
Vaduz Travel Guide: 109 reviews and 360 photos
Vaduz is the capital of the principality of Liechtenstein. It is one of the few capitals in the world not to have an airport or train station. Even so, it is very popular with tourist who, like us, pop into Liechtenstein to add another country to their tally.
We visited Vaduz for a few hours, which was more than enough time. I understand that the Liechtenstein countryside is quite beautiful but unfortunately we didn't have the time to explore further on this visit.

|Isles of Shoals (White Island), NH
Description: The Isles of Shoals are a small group of nine islands six miles off the Atlantic coast, straddling the border between Maine and New Hampshire. The islands were divided up in 1629 between Captain John Mason, who owned New Hampshire, and Sir Ferdinando Gorges, who owned the Province of Maine. Maine ended up with five of the islands and New Hampshire the other four. The Isles of Shoals Lighthouse sits atop White Island, the most southerly of the islets.
Although the Isles of Shoals are mostly barren and sparsely populated today, they have a lively history. They were originally named the Smith Islands (or Smiths Isles in some accounts), after the famous Captain John Smith who helped settle the Jamestown Colony in Virginia in 1607. Smith had spent a number of years exploring the coast off Maine, mapping the coastline and naming many of the islands. However, these islands were the only ones he decided to put his own name on apparently their beauty earned them a special place in Smiths heart. Early fishermen changed the name to Shoal of Isles, reportedly because the islands resembled a shoal of fish. Later, the name became Isles of Shoals.
In 1623, a fishing settlement was started on the islands, and within five years there were enough people living there to support two taverns. Maines first church followed a few years later in 1640. Some of the resident fishermen thought the islands should be an all-male preserve. In 1647 Richard Cutt, a settler on Hog Island (now more elegantly named Appledore Island), filed an official complaint: John Reynolds has brought his wife hither with the intention that she live and abide here, contrary to an act of court which says that no woman shall live upon the Isles of Shoals he has also brought upon Hog Island a great stock of goats and swine which spoil the spring water our petitioners therefore pray that the Act of Court be put in execution for the removal of women inhabiting here. The courts ordered that the goats and swine be removed, but allowed the women to stay.
The first lighthouse and accompanying dwelling on the Isles of Shoals were built of rubblestone in 1822. The tower stood forty feet high, and its copper-domed birdcage lantern an additional ten feet or so above that. White Island is mostly barren rock with a very steep and rugged southern face rising eighty feet above the water. The lighthouse is located on this side of the island at the highest point above the water. Even so, the storms at this location are so fierce that the covered walkway connecting the tower to the keepers quarters has been completely washed away three times.
One of the more colorful keepers at Isle of Shoals Light was one Thomas Laighton. After losing the election for governor of New Hampshire in 1839, Laighton applied to be keeper at the lighthouse, and was appointed in 1843 at a salary of $600 a year. Laighton had previously purchased four other islands in the group (Appledore, Smuttynose, Malaga, and Cedar Islands). Laightons wife, children, and hired hand did most of the actual lighthouse keeping, while Laighton attended to business on the mainland.
In 1841, Winslow Lewis had outfitted the White Island Lighthouse with an updated lantern and lighting apparatus. The new optic consisted of a triangular frame that supported five lamps and reflectors on each face. One of the faces was covered by red glass to produce a white-red-white flashing characteristic as the frame made one revolution every three minutes and fifteen seconds. Keeper Laightons daughter would later become the well-known poet Celia Thaxter, who drew upon her early life at the lighthouse for some of her most inspirational work. The towers light was thus described by Celia in the poem The Wreck of the Pocahontas:
I lit the lamps in the lighthouse tower,
After constructing a hotel on Appledore, Laighton resigned his lighthouse post in 1849 and moved his family into the hotel. Following Laightons death, his sons continued running the hotel until it burned down in 1914. Most of the Laighton family is buried in a family cemetery on Appledore Island, and their graves can still be seen today.
Exposed to the full fury of the Atlantic, the original stone lighthouse began deteriorating quickly, and in 1843 it was covered in wood and shingled in an attempt to protect the stone exterior. This measure bought some time, but a replacement brick tower was built in 1855. A second-order Fresnel lens, which produced a flashing red and white light visible for 15 miles, was housed atop the new tower.
John Downs was serving as acting keeper at the lighthouse while the head keeper went ashore, when a gale struck one March. Late one night, when the storm had been raging a week, Downs friend, who was stranded with him at the lighthouse, joked, Well, John what would you think if somebody was to knock on the door just now? John replied, I should think it was the devil himself, for no human being could land alive on the island tonight with that storm raging. Shortly thereafter a rap, rap, rap at the door startled the two men. After summoning enough courage to open the door, they found a bleeding and drenched sailor who announced Brig Ashore, sir! Right near the tower!
The sailor had volunteered to be lowered from the bowsprit of the grounded Russian brig and attempt to reach the lighthouse keeper. Though pummeled by waves that threatened to draw him off the rocky shore, the sailor somehow managed to claw his way to the dwelling. Downs, his friend, and the keeper succeeded in rescuing the entire crew of the brig by serving as an anchor to a line they had tossed to the vessel.
The original stone keepers dwelling was in such disrepair that the Lighthouse Boards annual report for 1876 described it as so much decayed that it is scarcely habitable. Two years later, a new wood-framed one and a half story duplex was completed for the keeper and his assistant. The old stone house was remodeled and used for storage.
The station was equipped with a fog bell from the beginning, but it had little effect in such a location, since the strong winds on all sides masked the sound. In 1896 a larger bell was tried, but it too was deemed inadequate. An automated fog bell was installed in 1906 before a 1st-class air siren, putting out a three-second blast every 30 seconds, was finally placed on the island.
The Coast Guard removed the 1878 duplex in the 1950s and constructed a modern residence on the site of the original dwelling. Following a three-month-long automation process, Coast Guard personnel were removed from White Island in 1986. A few years later, the towers Fresnel lens was removed in favor of a modern beacon.
In 1993, White Island and a couple other islands in the group were transferred to the New Hampshire State Parks system. The station had fallen into disrepair by the start of the new millennium, but a group of local students at North Hampton School known as the Lighthouse Kids took on the mission of raising funds to restore the lighthouse. In April of 2003, their efforts were rewarded with a $250,000 Save Americas Treasures Grant. Through their own projects, they raised additional money, and in 2005, the towers was repaired and covered in a fresh stucco coating, and the dwelling received a new roof.
Located on White Island one of a group of islands called the Isles of Shoals,
situated roughly seven miles offshore from Portsmouth Harbor. The lighthouse is owned by N.H. Division of Parks and Recreation. Grounds open, dwelling/tower closed.

– as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.
Glory to God in the highest
And peace to His people on earth
Lord God, Heavenly King, Almighty God and Father
We worship You
We give You thanks
We praise You for Your glory
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father
Lord God, Lamb of God
You take away the sins of the world
Lord, have mercy on us
You are seated at the right hand of the Father
Receive our prayer
For You alone are the Holy One
For You alone are the Lord
For You alone are the Most High
Jesus Christ
With the Holy Spirit
In the glory of God the Father
Glory to God in the highest by St. Paul's Choir Indianapolis; Lyrics are based upon the text of the Sacred Liturgy
Ant. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Psalm 119:153-160
XX (Resh)
See my affliction and save me
for I remember your law.
Uphold my cause and defend me;
by your promise give me life.
Salvation is far from the wicked
who are heedless of your commands.
Numberless, Lord, are your mercies;
with your decrees give me life.
Though my foes and oppressors are countless
I have not swerved from your will.
I look at the faithless with disgust;
they ignore your promise.
See how I love your precepts;
in your mercy give me life.
Your word is founded on truth:
your decrees are eternal.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
– as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Help us always to rejoice in your promise, Father, and to praise the glory of your deeds. Keep us united in the love of your peace; then we shall have little to fear from the threats of the mighty.
Psalm 128
Happiness of family life rooted in God
"May the Lord bless you from Zion" refers to the Church (Arnobius).
O blessed are those who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways!
By the labor of your hands you shall eat.
You will be happy and prosper;
your wife like a fruitful vine
in the heart of your house;
your children like shoots of the olive,
around your table.
Indeed thus shall be blessed
the man who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion
all the days of your life!
May you see your children's children
in a happy Jerusalem!
On Israel, peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
– as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Give lasting happiness, Lord, to those who reverence your name, so that our life and work may be such as to deserve your commendation, and bring us, laden with good fruit, to our everlasting home.
Psalm 129
God's people reaffirm their trust in time of affliction
The voice of the Church lamenting its suffering is heard in this psalm (Saint Augustine).
"They have pressed me hard from my youth,"
this is Israel's song.
"They have pressed me hard from my youth
but could never destroy me.
They ploughed my back like ploughmen,
drawing long furrows.
But the Lord, who is just, has destroyed
the yoke of the wicked."
Let them be shamed and routed,
those who hate Zion!
Let them be like grass on the roof
that withers before it flowers.
With that no reaper fills his arms,
no binder makes his sheaves
and those passing by will not say:
"On you the Lord's blessing!"
"We bless you in the name of the Lord."
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
– as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Lord Jesus, living in glory as the Son of Man, remember that when our sins had ploughed long furrows on your back, your death broke the bonds of sin and Satan for ever. Bless your Church, wounded in its members, and strengthen it by your invincible power and grace.
Ant. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
READING Titus 3:5b-7
God saved us through the baptism of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he lavished on us through Jesus Christ our Savior, that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs, in hope, of eternal life.
Sacred Silence (indicated by a bell)
A moment to reflect and receive in our hearts the full resonance of the voice of the Holy Spirit and to unite our personal prayer more closely with the word of God and public voice of the Church.
The disciples rejoiced, alleluia.
– When they saw the risen Lord, alleluia.
O God,
who restores human nature
to yet greater dignity than at its beginnings,
look upon the amazing mystery of your loving kindness,
and in those you have chosen to make new
through the wonder of rebirth,
may you preserve the gifts of your enduring grace and blessing.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
– Amen.
ACCLAMATION (only added when praying in community)
Let us praise the Lord.
– And give him thanks.

A Raspberry for Free Trade
Protectionists serve up tainted fruit and red herrings.
As I pointed out in an earlier column in Slate, the growth of labor-intensive exports from Third World countries, a development possible only because those countries are able to offset their disadvantages by competing on the basis of cheap labor, has brought about a huge improvement in the human condition, even if the wages look miserably low by our standards.
It is hard to believe that people who have spent years, even decades, writing about economics are really so fuzzy-minded that they cannot see the difference between protecting consumers from tainted produce and protecting workers from competing products. On the other hand, I doubt that they are purely cynical. It is more likely that some kind of double-think, some convenient ability to stop thinking clearly when the situation demands it, is at work. But the truth is that I don't know--and I don't think it matters.

Craig Miller/KQED
California water officials, farmers and others who track seasonal snow and rain levels are beginning to worry about how dry it's been. Officials say they're not ready to declare a drought, however, because the rainy season isn't over yet -- and many reservoirs are still full of runoff from last year's heavy snows.
Host: Scott Shafer

Jef Holm: I'm Dating Someone Who I'm Really Excited About"
Newly engaged Bachelorette Emily Maynard has clearly moved on from her ex-fiancé Jef Holm, but it sounds like she's not the only one who's over it. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, The Season 8 winner gushes about his newfound love.
"I'm dating someone who I'm really excited about," he shares, hinting at the possibility that the relationship may make him a bachelor no longer. "I think in the next few months to a year I'll probably not be single with this person. I'm taking it slow!"
So are we talking not-be-single as in be-married, Jef? Engaged? Shacking up? Details, please! Though we're left wondering whether this skater boy is planning on putting a ring on it (again), Jef does make it perfectly clear that he harbors no ill feelings about his ex's recent engagement.
"I wish her well, I'm excited for her," he says. But don't look to him to be sending her a congratulations card any time soon. "It's been over a year since we've spoken," he shares. Well, we don't get people who talk to their exes, so we feel that, Jef.
Though the entrepreneur had only nice things to say about Emily, he was a little less delicate with current Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis. "I think he's by far the sleaziest Bachelor that's been on the show," Jef opines. Wow, don't hold back there, dude!
Do you think Jef's found the one this time? Sound off in the comments!

May 3, 2016
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Defensive tackle Corey Simon agreed to terms Tuesday with the Tennessee Titans and will try to resume his career after not playing in 2006.
Simon, who took a physical with the Titans a week ago, was expected to be at practice later Tuesday.
"Corey brings a combination of run-stuffing size and pass-rushing ability to the defensive tackle position," general manager Mike Reinfeldt said in a statement. "Prior to last season, he has been a consistent and productive player who contributed to playoff teams and we are excited to see him get a second chance here with the Titans to prove he still has that ability."
Indianapolis released Simon on Aug. 4 after he failed his physical with the Colts at the start of training camp. He had arthroscopic knee surgery but was placed on the non-football illness-injury list Oct. 5 with an undisclosed ailment a year after signing a five-year, $30 million contract.
He was the sixth pick overall in 2000 by the Philadelphia Eagles and a Pro Bowler in 2003. He spent five seasons with Philadelphia and had 270 tackles and 32 sacks, but the Eagles released him just before the 2005 season because he refused to sign a one-year franchise tender.
If healthy, he could help a defense that ranked 30th in the NFL against the run last year, giving up 144.6 yards per game.

Average Prices of Marijuana per Gram
So basically, I got this idea. It came to me when I was thinking about marijuana and my next purchase. People give me all kinds of different numbers and I don't know what is too much per certain strain. In simple terms, I don't know how much money I am wasting. You all buy weed, wanna tell me how much you pay per gram, ounce, etc. for your strains of weed?
If this works out, maybe someday we will have an entire table full of strains and their prices, wouldn't that be awesome? The greatest weed resource known to man...
What do you pay for your weed?
Information Table
Strain/Type, Price, Unit of Measure
Doughty, $160 for Half Ounce
Doughty, $285 for Ounce
Doughty, $20 for Gram
Good Reggie, $10 for 3.5 Grams
Hashish, $25 for Gram
King Kong Kush, $20 for Gram

88 servicemembers become U.S. citizens in combat zone
October 6, 2010
By Spc. Edward A. Garibay, 16th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
Story Highlights

KANDAHAR AIRFIELD, Afghanistan - Eighty-eight Soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines from 37 different countries took the Oath of Allegiance and became U.S. citizens during a naturalization ceremony Oct. 1 at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan.
The naturalization candidates are natives of countries such as Afghanistan, China, Haiti, and Mexico, and all currently serve in the U.S. military.
Becoming a naturalized citizen is a way for people who were not born in the U.S. to become citizens. Naturalized citizens swear by oath "to renounce their allegiance to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty and vow to protect and defend the United States of America."
The remarkable thing is that this oath is not much different from the oath these servicemembers have already sworn when they joined the military, said Chris Bentley, press secretary for U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services.
"I think (the similarity in the oaths) makes the ceremony even more special for members of the military," Bentley said.
He said what made this naturalization ceremony so special is that it was held in an active combat zone for servicemembers who have been fighting for freedoms and liberties they had not even secured for themselves.
One of the recently naturalized citizens at the ceremony was Pfc. Liliana D. Sanchez, a Dominican Republic native and Afghan Air Force mentor for Headquarters and Support Battery, 117th Field Artillery Regiment.
"It fills you with pride because you're already serving your country, so it's that much more exciting when you become a citizen," she said.
Normally, immigrants need to be permanent residents for five years before they can apply for naturalization, but this is not the case for servicemembers. In 2003, former President George W. Bush signed an executive order stating that U.S. military servicemembers only need to serve one day of active duty time before they can file for citizenship.
"For some of these servicemembers (becoming naturalized) is a lifelong dream," said Bentley. "Other than a birth of a child or maybe marriage, it's the most important day in their lives. It's the day they become a United States citizen."
"It feels great," said Sanchez. "I'm officially a part of America."

The truth is he didn't leave voluntarily. He was given an ultimatum by the "new" board of directors: resign or be fired.
Poor old Vikram. This was a setup from the start.
He ended up at Citigroup when the mega-bank bought his Old Lane hedge fund for more than $800 million.
Poor old Vik pocketed about $165 million in the sale and continued to run the fund, some say into the ground, until Citi shut it down.
In 2007, my favorite Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) ex-CEO Robert Rubin (who after pandering to all the big banks in the country as Secretary of the Treasury in Bill Clinton's administration, then pimped himself to Citigroup after allowing Citibank to merge with Sandy Weill's Travelers insurance conglomerate (that owned Salomon Smith Barney) in an illegal deal that required Congress to kill prudent banking laws (Glass-Steagall) to make it legal actually handpicked Vikram to run the bank.
Super rich-boy Bob Rubin, of course, had nothing to do with running Citibank after making it the mega-bank it became as a result of the merger; he was merely a special consultant to the board, or some B.S. like that.
But here's what really happened...As a member of the Executive Committee that picked Pandit in 2007, Rubin was the power behind the throne. And the throne at that time, I mean the chairman of the board, was Richard Parsons, a useless fool and a proven tool in his own right.
Why do I say that? Because Parsons, as Chairman of Time-Warner, oversaw the demise of that great company. And then he becomes the chairman of Citigroup?
Are you kidding me?... Why? Oh, that would be because he is a tool who can be manipulated.
But, I digress.
Vikram Pandit's Rise at Citigroup (NYSE:C) Pandit was made CEO right about the time that Bob Rubin needed some good cover.
The bank was in gigantic trouble, which he directly steered it into, because he's a greedy you-know-what. Putting up a guy with no real commercial banking experience not only gave Rubin a tool to manipulate, but gave him cover as an insider if the bank blew up.
Pandit never had the experience to run Citigroup. He should never have had the chance.
Granted, Pandit held on as best he could. But because he was Rubin's tool, and because Rubin is who he is, Citigroup became a "protected" institution with the deepest political ties of any bank in the U.S.
Because Pandit was in charge at the time of the financial crisis, regulators who didn't care for his lack of banking experience (former FDIC chair Sheila Bair being his biggest detractor, if not an outright bashing critic), he was unlikely to be removed for fear of panicking financial markets any more than they were already panicking.
He was used. He did whatever he could. He's not a bad guy. He tried and eventually got Citigroup to post some impressive earnings numbers on Monday last week.
Then on Tuesday, it was time to go. It had all been planned behind his back.
It shouldn't have been a surprise.
It was only a matter of time that the "new" board, and especially the new Chairman (thank God Parsons is out and hopefully he'll fade to infinity via retirement so as not to ruin any more American institutions) would look to ease poor old rich boy Vikram Pandit down the road.
It's just another story of how the powers behind the banks in America manipulate who they have to in order to enrich themselves at the expense of taxpayers, and the poor old rich tools they sharpen and blunt at will.

text: Endowed with a bit more aggressively styled bodywork than the Suzuki Forenza on which it's based, the five-door, front-drive Suzuki Reno hatchback has room, ride comfort and lots of standard features, but a somewhat dated mechanical package. With a very attractive base price compared to the Honda Fit, Kia Spectra5, MAZDA3, Nissan Versa and Toyota Matrix, and backed by a truly outstanding warranty, it offers budget-minded buyers the chance to acquire a practical and reliable new car. However, seizing that opportunity requires accepting a one-trim-fits-all package with performance and handling characteristics that fall behind many of the current segment leaders. Given that the same holds true for its resale value, maximizing your investment in a Reno also means being prepared to live with it for a while.

Authorities reconstruct bombing suspects' actions after their photos are made public
As their photographs spread rapidly across the Internet, the Tsarnaev brothers decided to make their move. Not waiting for police to find them, they gathered guns and homemade explosives for what became a final, bloody rampage on a community still in shock from the bombings three days before.
In less than 15 minutes late Thursday, authorities said, the brothers fatally shot a campus police officer as he sat in his car, then carjacked a Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle at gunpoint. They held the driver hostage for 30 minutes as they scoured Boston's western suburbs for bank machines from which to take the man's cash.
Finally discovered, the Tsarnaevs led police on a chase through residential streets, hurling pipe bombs as they drove. When cornered, they battled police with guns and more homemade explosives, wounding a transit officer and trading more than 200 rounds until the officers ran out of ammunition.
The drama ended for the elder brother, Tamerlan, 26, when police shot him and then he apparently was run over by his younger brother, Dzhokhar, in a melee witnessed by scores of residents of Watertown, Mass., a residential community less than eight miles from the apartment where the pair lived.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, fled on foot, somehow eluding police and beginning a widespread search by thousands of federal agents and state and local officers. The hunt shut down much of metropolitan Boston for hours and transfixed millions of Americans who watched the events unfold.
On Friday night, soon after state police held a news conference saying they did not know where Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was hiding, he was discovered in a plastic-covered boat parked in the yard of a Watertown home. Police surrounded the boat and, after nearly three hours, brought him out alive.
The younger Tsarnaev, a former high school wrestler, was identified along with his brother as a suspect in Monday's bombings near the crowded finish line of the Boston Marathon that killed three people and wounded more than 170.
It is unclear whether investigators knew the suspects' names when they released photographs and videos of them along the marathon course around 5 p.m. Thursday in what the FBI said was an appeal for help from the public. Within minutes, the images circulated worldwide on the Internet and in continuous loops on television networks.
Law enforcement officials had hoped that a wide distribution of photos would bring clues. Instead, it appears to have jarred the Tsarnaevs into action. After apparently spending three days watching the aftermath of the bombings from nearby Cambridge, the two left their apartment within hours of the FBI news conference, heavily armed and prepared for a fight. Whether they intended to flee the area or provoke a confrontation isn't clear.
The following account was provided by multiple law enforcement officials involved in the manhunt or the bombing investigation. Several of them spoke on the condition of anonymity because the probe is ongoing.
Just after 10:30 p.m. Thursday, the pair walked up to a parked police car at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where Sean Collier, a 26-year-old campus officer, was nearing the end of his 3-to-11 p.m. shift.
A security camera would later show two men approaching the car and speaking to the officer. Abruptly, one of the men was seen pulling a gun and shooting Collier multiple times, including once in the head. Some officers concluded the shooting was an effort to provoke a larger confrontation with police.
"They were looking to start something," one official said.
Collier was found in his car by other police and taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. By then, the Tsarnaevs had moved on.

text: December 06, 2013 - For a group of Catholic priests and Tamil activists in Sri Lanka, President Mahinda Rajapaksa's decision to conduct a survey of the number of people injured, disabled, and missing since 1983 up to May 2009 is a "reaction to pressure from the international community" that "will not [however] give true answers to the victims of Sri Lanka's civil war". Launched on 28 November, the investigation is set to last six months. Some 16,000 officials are expected to fan out across the island to collect data about the conflict's final toll. The government only decided to carry out the census following allegations of war crimes made during the recent meeting of Commonwealth leaders. However, President Rajapaksa continues to back the idea that "no civilians" died during the fighting. According to Oblate of Mary Immaculate priest, Fr Oswald Firth those involved in the nation-wide survey are not credible because they belong to government bodies. "No government would want to kick into its own goal," said the priest, a former director of Caritas Sri Lanka, the charity arm of the nation's Catholic Church. Another priest, Fr Terrence Fernando lamented the country is a land of murders, as executions and kidnappings are taking place even today. "I do not think this investigation will bring any comfort to the families of the victims," he said. According to Suren Surendiran, spokesman for the Global Tamil Forum, Rajapaksa is the same man, who claimed at the end of the war that there were zero civilian casualty when in fact more than 100,000 have probably died at the hands of the military of which he is the chief.

Town seeks input on new manager
By: Elizabeth Speth, Loomis News Correspondent
Public invited to share ideas at committee meeting May 24
Loomis residents are being invited to share their ideas for a new town manager. Residents can voice their opinions at the upcoming Parks, Recreation and Open Space Committee meeting, at 7:30 p.m., Tuesday May 24, at the Loomis Depot. Wes Herman, vice president of Bob Murray and Associates, the firm hired to conduct the town manager search, called the hiring decision "one of the most important decisions a council undertakes." Perry Beck, outgoing town manager, has served Loomis for eleven years. He said he anticipates the public will be looking for traits like "approachability, and availability" when it weighs in on his replacement. "They like to think they can talk to a manager without having to wait a month," he said. Originally, from Chandler, Oklahoma, Beck said the Loomis political scene "was bit of a roller coaster, when I first came here. Everyone was trying to develop everything in sight." Now, things have slowed down, partly due to the economy, partly because developers know we're going to choose our development carefully, at a pace that can be sustained," Beck said. Beck called the growth rate in the community a "big challenge" for Loomis in the future, but said the town also has a big strength – its solvency. "We're in fairly good shape. We took our time, paid our bills along the way. We didn't bite off more than we can chew," Beck said. Herman predicted there will be five to seven final candidates for council consideration, with a final selection to be made by the middle of August. The council has budgeted $25,000 for the search. The council is also in the process of searching for a new city attorney, and agreed to interview five legal firms on Friday, June 3, in an all-day, closed session. In other town business, the council decided to link the town website to that of the Placer County Water Authority, so residents can get current information on rolling outages. Council voted to erect a sign near Interstate 80 on Horseshoe Bar Road declaring Loomis to be in a state of water emergency, and urging conservation. During the meeting, council was briefed on the April 19 Bear River canal break by PCWA Director of Technical Services Brian Martin, who called the resulting water emergency a "very stressful time for us." Martin said the break occurred along a stretch of canal that dates back "150 years, to the Gold Rush," and affects more than 34,000 water users, including Loomis' nearly 6,500 residents. Serviced by the Foothill Water Treatment Plant, Loomis residents are asked to cut their usage by 25 percent until mid-to late June. Canal water users are asked to cut usage by 75 percent. "These are voluntary measures, because we've found in the past that mandatory doesn't work as well," Martin said. PG&E expects to bypass the broken canal by early June, which should increase water flow to Loomis. Complete repairs are expected by the middle of June. The final repair is two weeks head of original projections, according to PG&E spokesman Mike Jones.

Dr. Ken Itzkowitz, Professor of Philosophy, remembers when Carte Goodwin was a student of his at Marietta College in 1990s.
"Carte Goodwin was an outstanding student who was very receptive to what the Marietta College Philosophy major had to offer. He was the kind of student my colleagues and I enjoyed having," said Itzkowitz, who has been teaching at Marietta since 1989. "He was friendly; he communicated well; he was respectful of others; and he earned the respect and friendship of others in my classes. He enjoyed engaging with difficult ideas. He was the kind of person about whom I heard only positive things."
Well, the positive things are still being said about Goodwin '96.
Gov. Joe Manchin named Goodwin, his former chief counsel and a member of a prominent West Virginia family, to succeed the late U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd. The announcement came at approximately 2 p.m. Friday (July 16) during a news conference at the West Virginia Capitol.
"We are proud and honored that Marietta College's own Carte Goodwin has been selected by Gov. Manchin to replace the late Sen. Robert Byrd in Washington, D.C.," said Marietta College President Dr. Jean Scott. "I am confident he will be an outstanding representative for the State of West Virginia. This is truly an exciting day for the College, and I'm sure the Goodwin family."
Goodwin, 36, becomes the first U.S. Senator to graduate from Marietta College. The College's other famous political figures include Charles G. Dawes 1884 (30th U.S. Vice President), Joseph Wilson 1846 (U.S. Congressman from Oregon), C. William O'Neill '38 (59th Governor of Ohio) and William Irwin 1848 (13th Governor of California).
His work at the Capitol began immediately after Manchin won his first term. Goodwin served a full term (2005-09). Goodwin left as Gov. Manchin's general counsel in January 2009 and returned to private practice as a partner at Goodwin & Goodwin.
Goodwin comes from a family of West Virginia lawyers dating back to the end of World War II.
Goodwin will hold the seat until November. That's when Manchin wants general election voters to decide who will serve the final two years of Byrd's term. According to the Associated Press, the Legislature has begun a special session to consider a proposal from Manchin to allow for a fall vote.
Byrd was the longest-serving senator in history when he died last month at 92. Goodwin becomes the youngest at 36 and the first Senator ever born in the 1970s.
Goodwin already has ties to West Virginia's Senate delegation: his wife, Rochelle '96, is state director for Sen. Jay Rockefeller.
Goodwin graduated magna cum laude from Marietta College in 1996 and earned an undergraduate degree in philosophy. He then graduated from law school at Emory University in Atlanta in 1999.
"Philosophy is about understanding knowledge, goodness, beauty, and truth in all of its complexity. The fact that Carte studied philosophy makes him a breath of fresh air in a world that doesn't need any more simplistic answers," Itzkowitz said. " I imagine Carte will do well in responding to the diverse perspectives of the people of West Virginia and in representing the people in Washington. If West Virginia wants intelligent representation for the upcoming period, Carte is an excellent choice in this regard."
He began his legal career as a law clerk for U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Robert King. Goodwin returned home to Goodwin & Goodwin, where he made partner just before entering the political arena.
While at Marietta, Goodwin was involved in a number of activities, including Order of Omega, Delta Upsilon fraternity and lacrosse. He was also a McDonough Leadership scholar, a Rhodes Scholar semifinalist and President of Interfraternity Council. He also served as a Board Member of the College's Alumni Association from October 2003 to February 2006.
Goodwin is a Mount Alto, W.Va., native, who lives in Charleston, W.Va., with his wife and son, Wesley, 4.
