With Talent & Depth, 3rd-Ranked Open Women Start Season v. Top-15 Opponents
LIVE VIDEO l LIVE AUDIO l LORI DAUPHINY FEATURE l CLASS Of 1987 TROPHY HISTORY
Lori Dauphiny is entering her 25th year as part of Princeton open crew, and she has been a standard of excellence throughout the quarter century.
But while she may be a paragon of consistency at Princeton, there is still plenty new around this team as it prepares for the 2013 season.
Of course, every team brings both new excitement and challenges, but Dauphiny also has a new coaching staff and a new journey to NCAAs to navigate. She has plenty of returners from last season's strong NCAA squad, though she will also need to replace a few key figures in the top two boats.
Princeton is coming off an impressive 2012 season, which ended with a Top 4 finish at the NCAA Championships. The Tigers went 8-2 in the regular season, 7-0 in the Ivy League, though the varsity eight fell short in the inaugural Ivy League Sprints. Princeton did win the first Willing Point Trophy after Top 3 finishes in the V8, 2V, V4 and the 3V.
That level of depth is something that Dauphiny has been pleased to see though preseason training with this squad, which included a sixth-place overall (second among colleges) finish at the 2012 Head of the Charles.
"I do think we have increased depth and become a stronger team throughout the ranks," Dauphiny said. "That ultimately pushes all of our boats to be faster."
"I think one of the best things that we do on this team is push each other to do better, and competing for seats goes hand in hand with that," junior Angie Gould said. "While everyone is certainly fighting to be in the seat that they want to be in, overall we're just trying to make the fastest boats possible and that's the goal we're working towards."
Princeton returns six of its eight rowers from the varsity eight that reached the NCAA Grand Final, including senior tri-captains Heidi Robbins, Molly Hamrick and Liz Robbins. Robbins served as the stroke last season, and she has impressed during offseason training.
"She has seperated herself in athletic ability," Dauphiny said of Robbins, who joined Hamrick and junior Kelsey Reelick as underclassmen on the 2011 NCAA champion varsity eight. "But everybody has their own strengths, their own niche. Overall, I think this has been a good winter. We had good growth, and I think we made some real steps forward in all of our boats."
Dauphiny has been pleased with the work of assistant coaches Kate Maxim and Steve Coppola '06, both of whom are in their first seasons with the Princeton program. Maxim coached six years at Oregon State; she helped develop the Beavers into a national program by guiding the novice crews each season. Her boat finished in the Top 5 at the Pac-10 Championships each season, including a best finish of second during the 2011 season.
Coppola, a bronze medalist as part of the 2008 U.S. Olympic men's eight, led Princeton to the 2006 Eastern Sprints/Ivy League title in heavyweight rowing.
"They are both doing a great job here," Dauphiny said. "Kate has coached for years, but she is new to Princeton. Steve was a terrific rower here, but he is new to coaching. We have rowers who are new to rowing. Everybody is working hard together."
The regular season will produce a very challenging schedule for a team that may not completely click until closer to the Ivy Sprints (May 19 at Cooper River). Along with its traditional Ivy League competitions, Princeton will host NCAA runner-up Michigan in the May 4 regular-season finale.
The regular season may hold more importance for Princeton than in previous seasons because of a change in postseason qualifying. As opposed to earning a spot at NCAAs through its region (which it did in every year since the inaugural championships in 1997), Princeton will be seeking the automatic berth given to the varsity eight winner at Ivy League Sprints.
If the Tigers fall short there, they will need to rely on regular-season results to earn one of the remaining at-large bids. While the Ivy League remains one of the strongest leagues in the nation, not everybody will get chosen. Thus, somebody strong from the Ivy League could be left on the outside when the 2013 NCAA Championships are held May 30 through June 1 in Indianapolis.
Dauphiny believes her squad could potentially be well suited for the NCAA Championships format (V8, 2V and V4) because of its strong depth, but she also understands that getting there will depend on the performance of her top boat.
"Every year we're looking to improve and I think we accomplished that goal this fall with respect to how we raced the year before," Gould said. "It was definitely an experience to be racing against so many national team members as well. We had a productive Tampa trip and now that we're back on the water, I'm looking forward to putting all of those hard winter months worth of training to good use."
Princeton will make its debut this season Saturday morning in the Class of 1987 Trophy regatta against both No. 13 Brown and No. 6 Ohio State. Princeton holds a 17-9 advantage over Brown in the Class of 1987 Trophy races, including nine wins in the last 10 years. Last season, Princeton defeated Brown by six seconds to open its third consecutive perfect Ivy League season.
From there, the Tigers won't return to Lake Carnegie until April 27, when they will host Penn and Dartmouth for the Class of 1984 Plaque in the final race of the Ivy League season.
The Tigers will host Michigan one week later; if all goes according to plan, they'll get another shot at the Wolverines four weeks later when the best boats in the nation meet in Indiana.
This weekend will be the only time fans can catch all four Princeton rowing teams at home. The heavyweights will make their season debut at 8 am against both Georgetown and Syracuse, while the open women will follow at 9. The men's lightweights will compete for the Fosburgh Cup at 10:40 against Georgetown, and the lightweight women will row Sunday at 8 am against Wisconsin in a showdown of the last two Eastern Sprints champions.

Television began in Israel in 1967; today two state-run channels offer educational, information, and entertainment programming in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. One local commercial channel, inaugurated in 1994, is divided among three private producers, with certain hours reserved daily for educational programs. Cable television, funded by monthly subscription fees, is available in most of the country, making it possible to receive dozens of American, European, Asian and Middle Eastern networks. Independent Israeli cable channels present sports, children's features, movies, and documentaries on a wide range of topics.
Kol Israel and the state-run television channel operate under the aegis of the Israeli Broadcasting Authority (IBA), which is subject to the IBA Law (1965) defining broadcasting as an independent government service, charged with giving expression to diverse perspectives. The IBA is headed by an executive committee, appointed by the government for a three-year term, and by a director-general, appointed for a five-year term. IBA broadcasting is financed by advertising on radio, public service announcements, and an annual fee paid by consumers.

I was 18 years OLD, traveling around Greece with my best friend, Dodi, who happened to be a super-chic Italian. We'd known each other for two years, and for all that time, she had been trying to renovate me from preppy American to worldly girl of style. She had cut my hair, taught me to wear mascara, dressed me in her castoffs. The last frontier was my legs. They were hairy. My mother, a feminist, had taught me not to buy into the cultural pressure to conform to beauty norms established by men. "Ridiculous," Dodi declared, and then announced that we were going to wax our legs.
Dodi warmed the wax in a bath of boiling water, then spread it over my left leg. Using white strips of paper that she pressed to the wax, she peeled off sections of hair in what I can still recall as one of the most painful beauty treatments I have ever endured. "Disgusting," she said, showing me all the dark hairs and their roots swimming in the wax against the white backdrop—hundreds of them like tadpoles. My leg felt burned. It was red and ugly, the pores pimpling. I refused to let her touch the other leg. "I'd rather shave," I said. She looked stricken. "Shave?" she asked, giving me a particular look she had that I'd first noticed when she saw Americans cut their spaghetti—one of disbelief and a little horror in recognizing the inferior customs of another country. She had bright, determined chocolate-colored eyes and a mane of black curly hair. She was beautiful and sophisticated and I wanted to be just like her, but I could not wax the other leg. She launched into an explanation of why shaving was worse than waxing: "You'll have stubble within hours. You'll become a slave to your legs." She was sitting on the bed, the windows open, the curtains fluttering in an early evening breeze rushing in from the sea, bringing with it the scent of lemons and jasmine.
The cares and worries of those late teenage years were soon usurped by the career concerns of my twenties and the marriage and baby concerns of my thirties. Now in my forties, I find myself returning to beauty as my skin begins to loosen and the hair at my temples grays. Can I be as precious as I was then, afraid of a little pain, choosing the lesser alternative? Which is what I did, after three days of wandering the beaches with one smooth, one hairy leg. (An American boy we encountered asked if the smooth leg was prosthetic.) I shaved the right leg and have shaved ever since. No more wax, I vowed. And now? At 43, I realize, I am—generally speaking—the same woman I was at 18. I still won't choose pain. So perhaps the only choice is to accept and enjoy who I am as time sculpts me.

What to Expect After Reconstructive Bladder Surgery
It takes time to get used to the changes in your body when you've had reconstructive surgery. Depending on the type of surgery you had, you may not urinate the way you used to. You may have an abdominal opening and an external urine bag to cope with. You'll want to talk with your health care team about any questions and concerns you may have.
What to expect after urostomy
After having any type of urostomy, you'll have a drainage tube from the new bladder coming out through an opening (stoma) in the abdomen. This may be in place for 2 to 3 weeks after surgery. Your surgeon may take X-rays to check how well your bladder has healed and to ensure there isn't leakage before removing the drainage tube.
After the operation, urine will constantly flow through your ureters into the external pouch. Once the tube is removed, you'll use an adhesive patch to hold a plastic pouch to your skin over the stoma. You will need to change the pouch every 3 to 5 days. When the pouch is full, simply empty the urine through a valve at the bottom of the appliance. When you change the appliance, wash the abdominal area around the opening thoroughly with soap and warm water. Then attach a new pouch. A specially trained nurse, called an enterostomal nurse, will help supervise your care when you've had a urostomy. The nurse will give you instructions on keeping the urine bag, catheter, or abdominal opening clean. The nurse will also give you advice on lifestyle issues, such as having sex or cleaning your urine bag at work.
When you come home after the surgery, watch out for these possible warning signs that there may be problems with your urostomy:
Redness or swelling around the abdominal opening
Urine leaks from the bag or catheter
A blockage of urine flow
Call your doctor or stoma nurse immediately if you notice any of these problems.
What to expect after cutaneous continent diversion
After the operation, urine will flow through the ureters into the pouch in your body. The pouch will hold more urine as time goes by. It will hold about a pint of urine a few months after the operation.
You will learn to recognize the sensation when the pouch is getting full of urine. When it's full, you will pass a tube, called a catheter, into the opening in your abdomen to let the urine out. For a few weeks after the surgery, you'll probably need to drain the pouch every few hours. As the pouch stretches, you will probably empty it every 4 to 6 hours.
You will be shown how to drain it. First, wash your hands thoroughly. Take the disposable catheter out of the package. Put a little gel on the tip. Gently push the catheter into the abdominal opening until urine starts to come out. Drain the urine into a container, then flush the urine down the toilet. The catheter is reusable but needs to be washed with soap and water. Wash your hands following this procedure.
What to expect after orthotopic continent urinary reconstruction
The ability to control urination during the day is better than 90% with a neobladder. Your ability to control urine flow at night may not be quite as good, particularly in the first 6 to 9 months after surgery. You may be able to manage the problem by drinking less before bedtime. Men may also want to talk with their doctors about a condom catheter, which attaches to the penis like a condom and collects urine.
The physical and emotional changes from your cancer surgery may be significant. Be certain to ask your medical team for follow-up resources that will help you and your family manage not only the physical effects of the cancer treatment, but also the mental and emotional changes.

UN Multi-stakeholder Strategies for Scaling-up and Mainstreaming Sustainable Development
21 Jun 2012 - 21 Jun 2012In order to achieve a green economy, green society, and a world fit for children, a radical transformation in our policies, technologies, patterns of production and consumption, and our foci of innovation is required. A wide range of sustainable development strategies have emerged, led by UN agencies, international and national organizations as well as civil society. These practices have demonstrated their potential to engage and empower even the most vulnerable and marginalized communities equipping them with values, skills and knowledge to thrive and contribute towards a green society. Yet, while there is evident success of these transformative practices, they often retain a status of �good examples� and are seldom up-scaled and mainstreamed to become a core strategy for a green economy.
This event, organized by the Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) Programme at UNU-IAS in partnership with UNICEF, UNDP and UNESCO, will explore multi-stakeholder partnerships and strategies that enable the implementation and concretization of sustainable development in areas such as urban planning, education, disaster risk reduction, innovation, research and more. It will also show that, in order to upscale sustainability practices at all levels, new and innovative forms of education and capacity development are required. The ESD Programme at UNU-IAS will place a particular emphasis on the ways in which its initiatives have created more effective information and knowledge generation and sharing on sustainable development, as well as showcasing case studies on learning as a transformative tool towards sustainability.
Partners: UNICEF, UNDP, UNESCO, UNU-IAS (proposal submitted by UNICEF)

Industry-Funded Study Drives Feedlot Exemption
The Environmental Protection Agency used an industry-funded
study, which has been accused of faulty methodology to exempt
large industrial animal livestock operations from hazardous
waste reporting requirements under the Clean Air Act. It is one
of many midnight rules under review at the Office of Management and Budget's Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA). The exemption was based on
information provided by the 2006 National Air Emission
Monitoring Study (NAEMS), conducted at Purdue, Cornell, Iowa
State and other universities, and overseen by EPA. The study was
financially backed by the Agricultural Air Research Council (AARC), which is funded by the pork, chicken and dairy industries.
The EPA commissioned the study, which was designed to come up
with new methods for measuring livestock air emissions, after a
2003 National Academy of Sciences report highlighted erroneous
and incomplete information from previous procedures, according
to a Purdue
But a Government Accountability Office report released in September expressed doubts the new methodology generated by the 2006 industry-funded report and now in use by EPA will be effective. The Department of Agriculture's Air Quality Task Force told GAO that "the technologies used to collect emissions data were not functioning reliably."
In October at a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee meeting
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO)called the EPA's proposed exemption a
good example of "Alice in Wonderland thinking." The United
Nations estimates that farm animals around the world generate 18
percent of the emissions that contribute to global warming. The
final rule was sent to OMB on October 24.
Medical Centers Rush to Post Conflicts of Interest
Some of the nation's leading medical schools and centers will
begin revealing the financial relationships of faculty members
with industry in response to ongoing investigations by Sen.
Charles Grassley (R-IA). The New York Times reported last week the Cleveland Clinic will post on its website a current directory of all its physicians, listing their educational and professional backgrounds, their medical specializations and their
relationships with industry. Each physician and scientist will
be required to list the names of companies with which they have
collaborations, and will identify whether they have equity, the
right to royalties, a fiduciary position or a consulting
relationship that pays $5,000 or more annually, according to
the clinic's website. Cleveland Clinic's Innovation Management
and Conflict of Interest Committee will manage the process.
The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine also announced
last week it will begin launch of a website next spring where
patients at its Penn Medicine complex and the public can search for the outside financial activities of its doctors and scientists. "When all of us are up there transparently, it may make us a little more responsible," Arthur H. Rubenstein, dean of the medical school and head of Penn Medicine, told the
Philadelphia Inquirer. However, Mayo Clinic officials last week
said they will not post researchers' industry ties online. An official for the clinic stated physicians are required to share conflict information with patients, and they are confident the policy works.
Pharma Cooks Their Books
A fifth of studies submitted to the Food and Drug Administration
during 2001 and 2002 that led to 33 new drug approvals never
appeared in the medical literature, a new
study in Public Library of Science (PLoS) Medicine found. The results that did appear in the literature were usually the more positive ones, and in some of those cases, the published version of the trials left out important data that had been submitted to the FDA.
The "main thing that jumped out at me was the addition and
deletion of primary outcomes," said Lisa Bero, a University of
California, San Francisco health policy expert and co-author of
the study. "Those are the most important outcomes of a trial. To
find that one disappeared from a paper, or just appeared in a
paper, is pretty amazing to me." The National Institutes of
Health-funded study suggested that failure to publish all
studies may be leading to incomplete data being used to promote
drug sales.
Midnight Regs Rush Oil Shale Development
The Bush administration has finalized
new regulations that would pave the way for extraction of oil
shale on two million acres of public land in Utah, Colorado, and
Wyoming, despite admissions
by industry and other scientists that the technology is years
away from viability. The regulation lifts a congressional
moratorium imposed on the process on public lands, which was
intended to allow industry to develop the technology on its
private holdings. Environmentalists say that
the process, which involves converting a waxy substance found in rock into synthetic crude oil, has extensive environmental impacts and is energy- and water-intensive. The Bureau of Land Management rule becomes effective on January 17, three days before the Obama administration takes office.
The move is part of a recent push on the part of industry and
federal agencies to increase oil and gas development on federal
lands in the Intermountain West, a move that biologists say is
already impacting native wildlife. Also in Wyoming, the Bureau
of Land Management (BLM) is moving forward with natural gas
development that scientists say threatens rare sage grouse and
native mule deer. Conservationists say that the BLM discounted research showing that the development has caused declines in wildlife populations, and relied instead on industry-funded research showing that development and wildlife are compatible. "The BLM gives equal weight to industry PR jocks and peer-reviewed scientists," said Rollin Sparrowe of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Society, who resigned from an advisory committee
formed to advise the BLM on natural gas development in Wyoming.
....and Toss CWA Stream Protections
Also last week, the Bush Administration approved a new rule that will make it easier for mining companies to dump debris into streams and rivers. The rule comes in the wake of an EPA finding that dumping from mountaintop removal coal operations did not violate the Clean Water Act, a reversal from the agency's previous position. Studies by the agency's own scientists have shown that water tested downstream from mining debris dumping sites had high levels of hazardous chemicals and could kill wildlife.
In an effort to limit the ability of Congress to stop
administrative public land decisions, the Bureau of Land
Management issued a final rule late last week eliminating the authority of Congress to withdraw land from uses like mining, the New York Times reported. The rule was proposed in October, and the public was given 15 days to comment on the action.
Blood Doctor Sued (Again) for Speaking Out
University of Toronto hematologist Nancy Olivieri has been sued
by Apotex, Inc. for allegedly breaching a settlement agreement
that stated neither she nor the company would "disparage" one
another. Olivieri has consistently spoken out about the need for
scientific integrity in the wake of Apotex's decision to cancel
Olivieri's role in a study of deferiprone, a drug manufactured
by the company. Olivieri's research led to a 1995 study
published in the New England Journal of Medicine that said deferiprone could lead to iron overload. Apotex is seeking an unspecified amount of damages for breach of contract, $500,000 in aggravated and punitive damages, and other relief.
Odds and Ends
An industry consortium says that "partial capture"
of carbon dioxide emissions could allow for construction of new
coal-fired power plants. The new research out of MIT's Carbon
Sequestration Initiative, a consortium sponsored by Peabody
Energy, Ford, ExxonMobil and others, says that technologies that allow for partial capture of carbon emissions could "get
construction moving again" in the face of the EPA's freeze on
construction of new plants that lack controls on the greenhouse
gas. ... Science has conceded (subscription required) that several studies show that cell phone use may cause DNA breakage. The admission contrasts with a previous Science report that only two studies- both under investigation for possible fraud- showed a connection between cell phone use and DNA breakage. ... A panel of experts convened by the National Academy of Sciences concluded that the EPA needs to revise its risk assessment process, citing "decision-making gridlock" that has made some assessments, like the one for cancer-causing trichloroethylene, drag on for nearly three decades. The report recommends the first major reforms to the EPA's process for analyzing environmental and health risks of toxic substances in 25 years.

Headlines decry the overbearing parent. (Let's face it: We're really talking about helicopter moms, because we dads are generally clueless.) Moms' over-involvement in their children's lives will create—the conventional wisdom says—lifelong psychological problems for the kids. Her hovering over homework will lead to adults who, as The Washington Post puts it, "lack maturity, self-reliance, self-esteem and good old-fashioned gumption."
But there is one time when being a helicopter mom is absolutely appropriate. In fact, not being a helicopter mom then probably puts your kid at a distinct disadvantage. And that time is during the college admission process.
Your organization, follow-through and steady hand during this period will be appreciated by both high school guidance counselors and college admission officers. But you have to know how to work with (and through) the system.
Getting into a good college has never been tougher, despite a very small decline in the number of high school seniors—from the record highs of the baby-boomers'-kids Class of 2009.
Six of the eight Ivy League schools (along with Stanford) had acceptance rates under 10%. And more than 25 great colleges across the country admitted less than 20% of the kids who applied.
Today, choosing the right college—not just the "best" or "most prestigious" one—takes serious investigation. And keeping the complex application and financial aid process flowing—to say nothing of meeting deadlines—requires real organizational discipline. Your child needs your help with both.
We've been involved in college admissions for over 30 years. As Ivy League admission officers, interviewers, college-relations deans and counselors at top high schools, and as parents ourselves, we've seen the good, the bad and the ugly of parent involvement.
Here are some time-tested tips to make the college search and application process more productive, less stressful and more successful.
Start early. How early? The beginning of your child's junior year is an appropriate time to start the process seriously. Unfortunately, most parents and kids get this advice too late, and they don't really start until senior year. If that describes your situation, don't worry. But don't procrastinate a day longer.
If you are the parent of a sophomore or junior, one of the smartest things you can do is make sure she or he has a head start on testing. Colleges often change, from year to year, the standardized tests they require applicants to take. By checking the Web sites of colleges your child may be interested in, you'll have a pretty good idea of which (and how many) SAT or ACT tests those schools require. You don't want your child to arrive at senior year of high school not having taken the right tests. Moreover, if you plan on using a test-prep service—and we strongly recommend that you do—it is better to start earlier rather than later.
Give your opinion, then keep quiet—until asked again. Believe it or not, kids actually want their parents' advice and help. A survey conducted by Zinch last year found parents were—by far—the most influential factor in the college selection and application process. So even if kids don't overtly acknowledge their parents' advice, they are probably listening to it.
Apply early decision—and apply early. The single biggest advantage of kids who go to fancy prep schools or whose parents employ expensive private college counselors is this: they know to apply early decision. They know that their odds of getting in under early decision programs—but not early action—are significantly better.
How much better? The regular acceptance rate at Brown last year was 8 percent Under early decision, 20 percent of applicants were accepted. For Cornell it was 15 percent in the regular pool and 33 percent in the early decision pool. For Colgate it was 33 percent regular and 68 percent early. And for Rice 22 percent regular and 34 percent early. You get the picture.
The typical excuse for not applying early decision is that Junior hasn't made up his mind about where he wants to go. If he has visited the school—along with several others—and done a reasonable amount of research on colleges, he can't really make too serious a mistake. And the choice does not have to be forever. Transferring to another school is very common. Push him for a decision—now!
One more thing about applying early: It also works to students' benefit to apply as early as possible to schools that have a rolling admissions process.
In rolling admissions, applicants are evaluated—and usually decided on—as soon as their application is complete. As the admission season wears on, there are fewer openings and more applicants who've procrastinated on getting their paperwork in. For these laggards, the competition is tougher.
Keep a master schedule. Every college has slightly different requirements and deadlines. Keeping everything organized is a challenge, and a perfect outlet for the helicopter mom. Your kid will have essays to write (and rewrite!), recommendations to solicit from teachers, and portfolios to compile and pare down. Keeping your child on track—without nagging too much—can make the difference between admission and rejection.
Compiling an accurate master schedule and ensuring that things get done on time makes you a real asset to your child's college counselor. If you think about how many kids the typical guidance counselor is responsible for—how many different colleges each of those kids is considering and then applying to—the number of required forms and deadlines is mind-boggling. Important dates can be missed.
Share your calendar with the college counselor, and don't criticize him or her for not knowing about a required form or deadline. You want the counselor to be your child's advocate right up to the moment the kid sets foot in that college dorm—and even after that. Should your child want to change colleges after a year or two, the high school counselor can still be an important ally.
Don't miss deadlines. Colleges receive applications from many more qualified kids than they can possibly accept. So, unfortunately, admission officers look for reasons to reject kids. They aren't sadists, and they don't take pleasure in it. But a missed deadline—even a misspelling or two—is enough to weed out otherwise terrific kids.
Keep a master file. In the old days of just a few years ago, the homes of college-bound students would be inundated with glossy four-color brochures, view books and assorted handouts from colleges. That is still largely the case, but more and more college marketing is digital. Instead of a corner of your kid's bedroom piled high with college materials, come up with a filing system that works for you and your child. Important materials will be less likely to get lost, or required submissions overlooked. In addition, keep a digital file of college websites and reviews.
Keep a digital backup. Computers do crash. And the last thing you want is to lose the latest version of her college essay—the night before it is due. Keep a backup of every draft—and every document submitted—on an external hard drive, flash drive or secure server.
Visit as many colleges as possible. Schools like students to show an interest in their campus. More important, a personal visit can be decisive for students choosing a college.
Most of us want our kids to go to "great" schools. Often we equate "great" with a handful of highly selective, or "name," colleges. That is understandable. But those schools may not be a good fit for your child. What we loved as undergraduates may not be right for our offspring.
Your child will have a much better college experience if you allow—indeed, encourage— him to explore lots of different types of schools. Even those you had thought of as "wrong."
Remember, you're not going to be spending four years there—he is. It is not how you feel about a place, it is how comfortable or excited he is. To that end, if your child wants to visit a college that is not on your radar screen, indulge him. In turn, be helpful in recommending (realistic) places you think he should at least explore. During visits, you will be shocked to see how finely attuned his sense of "fit" is. Kids can often walk onto a college campus and "know" in minutes whether the place is right for them.
Whenever possible, schedule an on-campus interview for your child. These interviews require advance planning and are important. (Many larger universities, along with the Ivy League colleges, do not do one-on-one campus interviews. They do, however, conduct alumni interviews in or near your hometown. Make sure you schedule these as well.) Do mock interviews with your kid before the real ones, or make sure she practices with others. Get her to come up with thoughtful comments and questions specific to the school, based on her research and her campus visit.
When you show up on campus, do not say, "We're here for our interview." That sends the worst helicopter mom message. Once you arrive, let your child take charge.
Keep a journal. As you visit more and more places, and talk to more and more people, colleges will start to blur in your mind. Was that the school with the freshman seminars, or the one with the winter intercession? During or just after your visit, jot down pertinent differences between this school and others; your reaction to the school; and your kid's comments while on campus. Not only will a journal help you make better-informed and well-reasoned decisions, it will be something you and your child will enjoy sharing in later years.
Don't let the process dominate your life or conversation. Yes, the admission process can seem overwhelming. Don't let it become all-consuming. Have a place in the house where conversation about it is off-limits. Some families find that the dining room table is the perfect place not to allow talk of colleges or chances of getting in.
Do smarter research. There are lots of guidebooks and websites devoted to college profiles and admission strategies. (Obviously we're partial to our own.) The best resources, however, are often hidden deep in the college's own websites. Whether it is the student newspaper, the campus schedule of events, or course/teacher evaluations that you peruse, you can get a much clearer sense of a school than you will elsewhere. You want there to be a real "fit" between the college's "personality" and your child's.
Don't "tweak" your kid's essay. The essay is a very important part of the application. It is the best window a college has into your child's personality, interests and aspirations. Some admission officers at top colleges say they read the essay before they look at grades or SAT scores.
We all have the desire to read our kid's essay, correct the grammar, check the spelling and, well, make suggestions. It is OK to do all of these things. It is not OK to rewrite your kid's essay—or even "tweak" it.
You shouldn't do it, for three reasons. First, it is wrong. Second, a kid-written essay provides the admission committee with genuine insight into your child—her passions, fears and hopes. A parent's tweaks often cause that texture and candor to be watered down, or even lost. Your kid is applying, not you. Third, admission officers know in a heartbeat when an essay wasn't written by the kid alone.
Admission officers typically read 50 essays a night. And even with applications to the most selective colleges, it is not hard to tell the difference between an essay written by an 18-year-old and one written by a 45-year-old. The slightest suspicion that the essay received more than proofreading help from a parent can knock a kid into the reject pile.
Don't ask the "influential" business associate for a recommendation. There is a saying at many selective colleges' admission offices: the thicker the folder, the thicker the kid. Applications with even one extraneous, attempt-to-influence recommendation can backfire.
If your child hasn't worked for the influential person, or the big donor hasn't known Junior since he was three, don't ask for the recommendation. It does no good, and can hurt.
Understand the "hook." Contrary to the widespread belief, good colleges are not looking for the well-rounded kid—they're looking for the well-rounded class. That means they want a few super-students for each academic department; great athletes for each sports team; superb writers for the school newspaper and literary journal; actors, dancers, student politicos, etc.—the passionate kids who together make up a community.
The "hook" is our shorthand for how your child will be "positioned" in the admission officer's mind—what niche your son or daughter will occupy in that year's group of applicants.
You want to make it easy for the admission officer to "hang his hat" on your child's candidacy—to be able to say to his colleagues, "This is Sam Smith, the kid who…(fill in the blank)."
An "unhooked" kid is more difficult for schools to accept.
Go for the "right" school, not the "best" school. Everybody pays attention to college rankings; we'd be lying if we suggested otherwise. But there is a big difference between the right school and the so-called best school.
Colleges are very different; they have unique personalities. Nobody who knows anything about colleges would claim that Brown and Columbia—or Wesleyan and Amherst, or Georgetown and Duke—are similar. Brown and Columbia are both urban Ivy League institutions, and they are nothing alike. Figuring out what is right for your child—based on her strengths, weaknesses, interests and ambitions—is the goal. Making college decisions because a particular school is "ranked" higher than another is foolhardy. Brand value of a college counts—but not as much as fit.
You'll find that once you truly accept the value of "fit" over "name," the admission process will go much smoother. That approach will reduce tension and may even improve your relationship with your child. (We don't want to get in over our heads here.) Your willingness to focus on finding the right school—not just the "highest ranked"—demonstrates great concern for her happiness and is far more important than what the neighbors might think.
Helicopter moms certainly don't love their kids any less than less-involved parents. Simply wanting what is best for your child is perfectly normal. And when it comes to college admission, there are right ways to help, in which everyone wins.

Original folk hero Woody Guthrie was the honoree for the 1st annual American Music Masters Series. Guthrie [inducted 1988] is America's foremost folk troubador. One of the 20th century's most evocative names, Guthrie was a singer, songwriter, and creator of hundreds of stories, novels, essays, poems, cartoons and art. He is the author of such classics as "This Land is Your Land," "Pastures of Plenty," "Pretty Boy Floyd," "I Ain't Got No Home," "Do-Re-Mi," and countless other staples in American folk music. He is recognized as one of the first leading American songwriters to give a popular voice to the struggles and political issues concerning the people of this nation. Anyone who has ever written a lyric about social or political protest owes something to Guthrie. His influence on rock and roll remains profound.

He is just a voice and a guitar. He sings the songs of a people and I suspect that he is, in a way, that people. I think we call this the American spirit.

Bank robbery suspect arrested minutes after holdup
Published: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 4:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 4, 2013 at 9:47 p.m.
A man who police say robbed a bank was nabbed within 10 minutes of leaving the teller's window, Daytona Beach police said Friday.
The man -- identified as Kenneth Morey -- walked into the TD Bank, 1000 W. International Speedway Blvd., at 3:30 p.m. and gave the teller a demand note, said Police Chief Mike Chitwood.
The note said -- among other things -- the man had a gun and would kill the teller unless she gave him money, Chitwood said. The robber's note also warned against using a dye pack or any alarms, the chief said.
"He was arrested within 10 minutes by officer Rob Carter," Chitwood said. "He was on foot."
Chitwood said the cash was on Morey when he was caught.

Starting this blog, and other blogs in the past, has taught me that the writer ends up learning as much or more than their readers. I started the Be life savvy to share my ideas, opinions, experiments and findings with other bright people.

I really do not know what to make of Bob. Some people get their orders while others don't....is there a method to the madness?
Anyone in the mask collecting hobby has been through a long wait or two....but this is crazy. Im going on two years....two years of emails saying "next week".
About two weeks ago Bob emailed me assuring me my orders would be sent soon. Nothing has panned out yet, Im going to give it a week or two before I pursue things on a legal level. I spent too much money to let this one go. I told Bob, if I got my busts I'd leave a review and be honest about the work which does seem stellar. Stay tuned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Decomom Love these curtains..... I spent a lot of time searching stores and online for curtains that I loved. I was happy that when they arrived they we exactly what I wanted. They soften the space so very nicely. We have plantation shutters through out the house. I like the shutters, but miss the warmth that curtains bring to a room. So for this reason I was thrilled to hang them in my kitchen on the sliding glass doors. They are a heavier sheer material that diffuse the light and at the same time provide privacy. The material has a very natural earthy feeling to them. I also love the color. It is a warm and rich color. I do believe that they are a tad darker in color than the picture portrays, but I was happy with that. I am extremely pleased! April 20, 2013

Worn out, desperate and five months pregnant, Mocha slept in parks, shelters, subways – any place she could find — before she found her way to Good Counsel Homes, an affiliate of Catholic Charities.
"I felt like I was the lowest of the lows," she says, her brown eyes batting back tears.
Her experience is typical of women served by Good Counsel Homes, says its co-founder and Executive Director Christopher Bell as he steers a 2008 blue KIA minivan, dropping off donations of diapers, baby food and changing tables at Good Counsel Homes in Spring Valley, Harrison, Hoboken and the South Bronx.
"Women who come to us are all in crisis," he says. "Their boyfriends told them to have an abortion. Their moms threw them out when their babies were born. Fewer than half have high school degrees. Our job is to help them rebuild their lives."
Counting Mocha, Good Counsel Homes has rebuilt nearly 6,000 lives since it began in 1984. Similar to most, Mocha stayed there for nearly a year and a half. She gave birth to her baby, worked two jobs, studied to become an electrocardiogram technician and learned how to be a mom.
"As soon as I stepped through the door I felt I had a home where I could get back on my feet," she says.
Begun in a converted convent with a lot of help and little money, Good Counsel Homes now networks with maternity homes throughout the nation.
But, Mr. Bell says, it is caring for a single lonely mom and a single helpless baby that matters most. For Mocha, Good Counsel Homes gave her and the little boy she bore a chance for rebirth.
Today she and her now three-year-old son have a home of their own.
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them," Mocha says.
Meet Mocha in this video.
Do you know someone facing a crisis pregnancy?
"Anyone from anywhere for any reason at any age can call our crisis help line," Mr. Bells says.

Bikes and art don't usually go hand in hand, but in May, the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll brings you Gallery Roll. The one Gallery Stroll where you are officially encouraged to bike from gallery to gallery. Also, May is the one month where bike art (or bike-themed art) has a special place. That special place is at the SLC Bicycle Company.
Brent Hulme is the owner of SLC Bicycle Company and the organizer of the exhibition in his shop. Hulme love bikes. But he also loves art. "There aren't very many sports that lend themselves to art" he says. "You don't see a lot of great paintings about football or basketball, but bicycle imagery tends to pop up in fine art. For example, you see Picasso and Duchamp doing work with bicycle imagery."
Joe Norman
There won't be any Picassos or Duchamps in this exhibit, but you will see some fairly big names from SLC's art community such as Joe Norman and Sarah Mannion. "Those who submit work for Hulme's exhibit tend to be those who crossover both the bike and art community" says Kristina Robb, Executive Director of the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll. "It's a great way to express both of their interests and share it with both communities and the quality of artwork that Brent brings in to his shop for this event is eclectic but it is top notch. And it's only getting better and better as more artists hear about the opportunity."
What you have to look forward to is a mural on the wall made entirely of tape by Chad Farnes (he's installing it as I write this). Jeanne Algood has some watercolors in the exhibit and there's a fantastic oil painting by Eleanor Schulz. Some of the standout pieces are sculptures by Joe Norman made out of bicycle parts.
Eleanor Schulz
"Next year will be the tenth year of Gallery Roll, and we're getting more and more cross exposure between the visual arts community and the cycling community through Bike Month" says Robb. "The bicycle advocacy community is as big and as spirited as the visual arts community so it's a fun collaboration."
Hulme only has the time and energy to make this happen once a year so make sure you make the SLC Bicycle Company one of your stops this Friday.
The SLC Bicycle Company is located at 177 East 200 South. The exhibit will continue through June 9th.
Laura Durham is assitant editor at 15 Bytes, Utah's Art magazine, and is a contributor for Salt Lake magazine.

The song's chorus, "Everybody must get stoned," makes you forget about those rainy day women, whatever numbers they're high on. Updated by the Black Crowes on HEMPILATION and Cypress Hill on Temples of Boom.
4. BLACK SABBATH -- "Sweet Leaf" (1971)
"You give me a new belief," Ozzy Osbourne espoused in this pre-metal glorification of ganja. Updated by Sacred Reich on HEMPILATION.
5. RICK JAMES -- "Mary Jane" (1978)
"It's my main thang," James sang. "I love you Mary Jane." The funkiest ode to pot . . . ever.
6. CAB CALLOWAY -- "Reefer Man" (1932)
"Have you ever met that funny, funny reefer man?" was the question posed in this period piece, recorded by Cab Calloway and many others.
7. BREWER & SHIPLEY -- "One Toke Over the Line" (1971)
The highest-charting pot tune of the '70s is the song the Grateful Dead should've written. Updated by the Rainmakers and Brewer & Shipley on HEMPILATION 2.
8. MUSICAL YOUTH -- "Pass the Dutchie" (1982)
Also a Top 10 hit, this remake of the Mighty Diamonds' "Pass the Kutchie" came courtesy of five British youths.
9. DAVID PEEL -- "I Like Marijuana" (1968)
The master marijuana minstrel championed pot to the tune of 1961's "Peanut Butter." Updated by the 360's and David Peel on HEMPILATION and Technohead as "I Wanna Be a Hippie."
10. NEW RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE -- "Panama Red" (1973)
Peter Rowan's smuggler tale harkens back to the days when the best weed came from Latin American.
11. FRATERNITY OF MAN -- "Don't Bogart Me" (1969)
Better known as "Don't Bogart That Joint," this originally appeared on the Easy Rider soundtrack, was popularized by Little Feat and earned an update by Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise on HEMPILATION 2.
12. RITA MARLEY -- "One Draw" (1981)
Also written by Bob Marley, the song's catchy refrain, "I wanna get high," served as the basis for Cypress Hill''s 1993 version.
13. CYPRESS HILL -- "Stoned Is the Way of the Walk" (1991)
Hip-hop nation's highest band put themselves on the map with this stoner masterpiece
14. LEROY "STUFF" SMITH -- "If You're A Viper" (1937)
This reefer-jazz classic was recorded by numerous artists, renamed "Reefer Song" by Fats Waller and updated by Wayne Kramer on HEMPILATION 2.
15. BLACK UHURU -- "Sinsemilla" (1980)
"I've got a stalk of sinsemilla in my pocket," Michael Rose exhaled on the chorus to one of reggae's most enduring ganja classics.
16. REDMAN -- "How to Roll a Blunt" (1992)
Named for the HIGH TIMES centerfold featuring Cypress Hill, Redman took blunt-smoking to new heights.
17. DASH RIP ROCK -- "(Let's Go) Smoke Some Pot" (1995)
This New Orleans trio transformed Bill Haley's "At the Hop" into a veritable stoner anthem.
18. COMMANDER CODY & HIS LOST PLANET AIRMEN -- "Seeds & Stems (Again)" (1971)
A country weeper complete with tears-in-your-beer steel guitar that's both heartfelt and parody, as the Commander sings, "I'm proud to be a toker from Muskogee."
19. STEPPENWOLF -- "Don't Step On the Grass, Sam" (1968)
A stab at a government that prohibits pot, this was one of Steppenwolf's most political tunes. Updated by Gov't Mule on Hempilation.
20. MURPHY's LAW -- "Big Spliff" (1990)
New York's premiere hardcore band were the first '90s rockers to support pot legalization with tunes such as this one.
21. LOUIS ARMSTRONG -- "Muggles" (1928)
Before pot was illegal, it was known as gage, mezz and muggles to a coterie of weed-smoking jazz cats like Armstrong. The great trumpet player and founder of jazz wrote this instrumental with pianist Earl "Fatha" Hines.
22. NEIL YOUNG -- "Roll Another Number (For the Road)" (1975)
This road-trippers' anthem is one of several weed-friendly tunes from the former member of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
23. TOYES -- "Smoke Two Joints" (1991)
Covered by Sublime and Norman Nardini, the Toyes' wake & bake anthem is an underground reggae favorite.
24. TOM PETTY -- "You Don't Know How It Feels" (1994)
This Top 10 hit was censored by MTV and radio stations because of the repeated lyric, "Let's get to the point and roll another joint."
25. TRADITIONAL -- "La Cucaracha"
The theme song of the Mexican revolution contains the memorable lyric, "Marijuana que fumar" (smoke marijuana).
Certain songs, like Donovan's "Mellow Yellow," the Association's "Along Comes Mary" (1966) and Peter, Paul & Mary's "Puff the Magic Dragon (1963), have long been associated with marijuana, but actually were not pot songs per se. Outcries about these songs at the time of their releases, however, requires us to give them honorable mention. Also deserving honorable mention are all songs with the word "high" or "stoned" in the title, such as the Byrds' "Eight Miles High" (1966), Sly and the Family Stone's "I Wanna Take You Higher" (1968), Paul McCartney's "Hi, Hi, Hi" (1972), Van Morrison's "And It Stoned Me" (1971) and Ray Charles' "Let's All Get Stoned" (1964). Special mention to the Beatles' for advising us "to smoke pot, smoke pot, everybody smoke pot" at the end of "I Am the Walrus" (1969).
List written and compiled by Greg Casseus, Steve Bloom, Steven Wishnia, John Holmstrom, Chris Simunek and Mike Edison.

First mail call of 2011 featured this ...
... quilt labels for my {Sew} Beautiful bee, hot off the presses from Spoonflower. Now we'll have an official record of all the talented ladies who worked on our quilts.
And this ...
... my first bee package, and for {Sew} Beautiful, too. Yummy Soul Blossoms, which will become a dresden plate for Cherie.
Hope everyone had a fun and fabulous New Year's Eve! Here was mine:
I got to see my favorite basketball team kick butt, from four rows behind the basket. Go Green! And we were kid-free, too—first time on New Year's Eve since we had kids to be free from. : ) If the first few days are any indication, it looks like it's going to be a pretty good year.

We are now just less than a month out from the opening of our next major exhibit, Women Who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power, the world's first exhibition of its kind dedicated to honoring some of rock and roll's most talented artists. The exhibit is going to cover nearly a century's worth of music and feature more than 70 artists, filling two entire floors of the museum with costumes, instruments, handwritten lyrics, video and listening stations, plus much more.
We'll be documenting the exhibit installation process throughout the next four weeks and will share some of our favorite images here on the Rock Hall blog up until the grand opening of the exhibit on Friday, May 13.
Preparing the canvas: the walls have been freshly painted and are nearly ready for the next steps: installing large scale graphic art to frame the eight rock and roll eras that will be featured in the exhibit.
A sneak peek at the process so far:
Next week: a look at the exhibit's original artwork installation: a giant album cover chandelier – a work of art in its own right - and mounting the artifact exhibit cases.

Mayor Williams Named Highlands Elementary School Student 'Mayor for the Day'
Posted on 03/12/2013 3:04 pm
On Friday, March 8th, Mayor Williams named Christopher Ariza-Ortega 'Mayor for the Day,' and took him on a tour of the Louis L. Redding City/ County Building.
As 'Mayor for the Day,' Christopher, a second grade student at Highlands Elementary School, had the opportunity to sit at the Mayor's desk, meet the First Lady, Shayne Williams, and visit various City Departments.
"I enjoy being able to give kids this sort of opportunity and exposure," said Mayor Williams. "It allows them to see how Government really works."
Christopher's appointment as 'Mayor for the Day' fulfilled a classroom assignment.
