Report: Addressing Climate Change Yields 4.5 Million Clean Energy Jobs
In the process of addressing climate change, the United States could net 4.5 million jobs in renewable energy and energy efficiency fields by 2030, according to a new study. The report, "Estimating the Jobs Impact of Tackling Climate Change," was prepared for the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) by Management Information Services Inc.The report finds that an estimated 1.2 billion tons of annual carbon emissions could be eliminated by 2030 through renewable energy and energy efficiency alone, if the country makes a serious commitment to reversing climate change.
According to the report, about 57% of the reduction in carbon emissions would be from energy efficiency and 43% would be from renewable energy. Professions that would gain the most jobs include farming, construction, professional services, trucking, and metal fabrication, with job benefits spread across the entire country. The greatest numbers of renewable energy jobs would be in solar power, biomass power, and biofuels. A summary of the report is available now; the full report will be posted on October 30.

Establishing a balance between body and mind can lead to a wide array of health benefits and perhaps that is why yoga continues to be a popular practice.
"There is more and more research about the benefits of yoga for everyone from soldiers with post-traumatic stress to cardiac patients," said Martha Stump of Rauch Drive in Marietta, who is an instructor and owner of MOV Yoga.
The tradition dates back to ancient India and what we know as yoga in the West- stretching and breathing - is actually just one of many tenets of a philosophy practiced in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
Stump is quick to note, however, that the yoga she teaches is not a religion.
"I've made a choice that I don't teach in Sanskrit. I think it's exclusionary and I think yoga should be accessible to everyone," Stump said.
One of Stump's students is Velvet Tranchina, 31, of Marietta. Tranchina said she doesn't consider herself "super fit" or "super active" but she enjoys yoga because there are benefits at every skill level.
"I had always been curious (about trying yoga)," Tranchina said. "I like it because it gives me increased flexibility, helps with general strength and balance and is relaxing."
Tranchina attends classes with Stump at Marietta Dance Academy in the Frontier Shopping Center and sometimes at Full Circle Yoga in Vienna.
"In the past it was something I would do if I had time but now I am trying to make time. It is something I want to commit to," Tranchina said.
A market study by "Yoga Journal" and conducted by Harris Interactive Service Bureau in February showed that 16.5 million adults in the U.S. practice yoga. The poll surveyed 4,700 respondents - a statistically representative sample of the total U.S. population - and also showed that the number was up 43 percent from a similar poll in 2002. The fastest growing segment was the 18 to 24 age group.
Stump has taught students from high school to those in their late 70s and every skill level, though she has a saying:
"There is a yoga for everybody but every yoga is not for everybody."
Carolina Alvarez, a yoga and acting instructor from New York City currently living and teaching in Marietta, believes that her two loves go hand in hand.
"A lot of actors do yoga," she said. "I love teaching acting and yoga classes because I feel everyone is artistic and if you turn yourself inward, you allow yourself to be whatever you choose."
Alvarez has been a certified instructor for 14 years and was exposed to yoga when she was very young.
"I was lucky enough to have a mom who put me in yoga classes at age 4," she said.
For Alvarez, who is a theater artist, the meditative qualities of yoga help her to "clear the slate" and allow for creative ideas to be sparked and fostered. Yoga is also something that surprises a lot of people when they try it.
"It may not come naturally to everyone at first, but once they start practicing, it becomes something that they have to do," Alvarez said.
Tranchina agrees.
"I don't think it's a (passing) fad. There are a lot of different styles and different applications of yoga that people can do," she said. "I don't think it's going anywhere."

Notebook: Generosity gives Bears hotel stay
UNCASVILLE — Thomaston saved itself a long bus ride Saturday morning when a generous citizen paid to put the team up at the Courtyard Marriott in Norwich on Friday night.
The Bears left amidst a real small-town sendoff complete with fire trucks, ambulance and the Thomaston Trotters, future Golden Bears hopefuls who perform at halftime of their home games.
Three busloads of more than 100 students, more than one-third of the entire school made the trek to the Sun on Saturday and filled up a good portion of the seats behind one basket.
"The Cave," as the Bears' student fan base is known, was in loud voice led by senior Kyle Guisto, a member of the boys basketball team.
Welcome back: Thomaston assistant coach Billy Ryan, who is also the school's athletic director, was making his fourth appearance to the finals. He is now 1-3.
Ryan was the assistant to Paul Ebbs during the 1992-94 seasons in which the Bears appeared in the championship game three straight years, winning in 1993.
Bright future: If you are looking ahead a bit, the Bears lose their leading scorer and 1,000-point scorer Maggie Eberhardt along with starting guard Sydney Keith, but the nucleus is in place to make another run.
Junior Abby Hurlbert, who was immense with a 28-point, 10-rebound effort in Saturday's final, freshman Morgan Sanson and junior Bryttnie Thomas will provide the foundation for the Bears' fortunes next season.
Farewells: There was quite a good-bye party Saturday in the Class L boys game between Trinity Catholic and Woodstock Academy.
It was the final game for long-time basketball officials Steve Kirck and Pat Paulson. But to make the event even sweeter, Kirck went out by officiating with his son, Steve Kirck II.
Local ties: The Litchfield board was king Friday night in the boys "M" game as Charley Harbach, Aaron Lefkowski, and Art Hamm whistled the game between Valley Regional and Weston.
And helping hand out awards and trophies Saturday was Litchfield County resident and O'Brien Tech athletic director and coach Dan Nemergut.
Honoring America: Thomaston student Caleb Zenobia belted out a dandy "Star-Spangled Banner" before the start of the Class S girls game, and it wasn't easy.
During a moment of silence for the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting, James Bond theme music played in the arena, and Zenobia steadied himself for the anthem, which he sang underneath some hip-hop music. Eventually the house went silent, and Zenobia sang beautifully.

'Anything Goes' for stage star Rachel York, with baby on board in Dallas
She's a sassy star on stage, but when she takes a break from Reno Sweeney in the much raved about tour of Anything Goes at AT&T Performing Arts Center's Winspear Opera House (you can see Lawson Taitte's review here), there's nothing Rachel York likes more than spending time with her little Olivia.
We caught up to Rachel for a Q and A during one of Olivia's naps.
You've gone on the road without a baby and now with a baby. Which is better and why?
Everything is better since my baby girl, Olivia, came into this world. My sleep, however, was better in previous tours I have done.
What was the biggest change you had to get used to with Olivia on the road?
The amount of luggage we have to travel with is a sight to behold. The amount of time and focus it takes to pack before each travel day is definitely a new experience. Even so, we seem to leave some small item behind in every city we go to.
What has surprised you the most?
Olivia's adaptability is amazing. She is a great traveler and I am grateful for
What makes you happiest?
Taking naps with my daughter is my Heaven. The is something so beautiful
about her falling asleep on my chest.
What does Olivia do when you're on stage?
When I am on stage performing in a matinee, Olivia is napping for part of
that time. When she wakes up she will paint or do puzzles. She loves the
iPad. When there is a pool our nanny will take her swimming. I usually come
home shortly after 5 on matinee days. At night I don't make a big deal about
going to work because she gets upset. She will take a bath and get ready for
bed after I leave. She usually goes to bed somewhere between 8:30 and 9:30
so she is asleep when I return home after 11 p.m.
What do YOU do when you're off stage and Olivia is sleeping?
When Olivia sleeps, I will do interviews like this, catch up on phone calls and
emails, research up coming cities or read a book. But sometimes Mommy
needs a nap too.
Do you sing Olivia to sleep? If so, what are the baby's favorite songs? Does she have any favorites from Anything Goes? What are they and why?
Olivia loves it when I (as well as her Daddy) sing her to sleep. This usually happens after reading 4 or 5 books. Her favorite song right now is "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah." She also likes "Over The Rainbow" and "Maria" from West Side Story, sung of course using the name Olivia instead. The song she prefers from 'Anything Goes' is "Be Like the Blue Bird" and I think it's obvious why.
Ever show the Olivia any tap dancing routines? What's the reaction?
Olivia loves to put on her tap shoes and dance. She has had a few informal
tap lessons, taught by myself and other members of the cast. Typically, she
just likes to improvise.
Any early inklings that you might be raising a future musical star or, at least, a fan?
Olivia is a natural performer. She has great pitch at age 2 and loves to sing and dance. I think she may think that's what life is all about right now. Music and dance is all around her every day. Even on her favorite TV programs, 'Yo Gabba Gabba,' 'The Backyardagans' and 'Blue's Clues.'

LAS VEGAS -- Steve Kerr smiled as he sidestepped a question about whether or not he expected the Warriors to soon complete a trade.
After all, Kerr said, the Thursday evening deadline for the Warriors to use their $9.8 million traded player exception was something to worry about for general manager Bob Myers.
Not the coach.
"I'm coaching here, and if Bob calls me and tells me we're doing something, great," Kerr said Wednesday at Sierra Vista High School, where the Warriors' summer league team held its second day of practices.
Kerr didn't necessarily have to coach the summer squad after being hired in May to replace Mark Jackson, but he decided to wear a whistle around his neck and go to work with the team's first game coming Friday against Charlotte.
Warriors forward Harrison Barnes and center Festus Ezeli after practice praised the former TNT broadcaster's communication skills, which were also put to the test in recent weeks as the rookie coach went out of his way to meet in person with players.
Kerr was on a house-hunting trip when he had lunch in Berkeley with Stephen Curry, who had been out with his wife. Since then, the coach and star guard have played more than one round of golf together.
To see Andrew Bogut, Kerr and his wife, Margot, made the long flight to the center's native Australia. Kerr said Margot connected with Bogut's girlfriend. At one point over lunch, Kerr pulled out a tablet and showed Bogut clips on how the big man might be used in a new system that emphasizes ball movement and includes triangle concepts.
"To me, that's my job," Kerr said. "Coaching is about relationships. It's about connecting with people. It's not about me sitting in the facility drawing up plays.
"I want to meet the families and get to know everybody. It's all part of it. The stronger all these bonds are, the better job I can do, and the more I'll understand them and vice versa."
Barnes, who along with his agent had met with Kerr in Miami, said of his new coach on the practice court: "He knows how to get his point across."
Kerr prepared for that as well. After getting the job, he reached out to Barnes' college coach, North Carolina's Roy Williams, who was a spectator at practice Wednesday. Kerr said he had spoken with many of his players' former coaches and teammates while trying to figure out what made his guys tick and how to reach them.
Kerr's message for the summer league team was a simple one.
"He told us he was going to do his best, and we should do ours pretty much," Ezeli said. "Everybody here has been very receptive of him."
"Andre was the starter last year, and he very well may be this year," Kerr said. "It all depends on combinations and who's coming off the bench. I would say Andre is more of a ballhandler and a playmaker than Harrison. Harrison's probably a little more of a scoring-minded player, so you have to factor all those things in when you decide who's going to start and who's going to come off the bench."
Barnes, who is practicing voluntarily with the Warriors' summer league team even though he won't be playing in games, has said he would like an established role after going from 81 starts as a rookie to 24 last season.
Told of Kerr's comments about the chance to start, Barnes said: "I got caught up in that last year. I'm not really worried about that this year."
"My body was telling me to slow down," Ezeli said.
While Ezeli said he can play and that the discomfort has lessened, Kerr said it's highly doubtful the 6-foot-11 center will be allowed to see action.

The Finest Materials
The softest, highest quality cashmere is the foundation of the iconic Burberry scarf. Defined by the diameter and length of its fibres, the cashmere is taken from the goat, with each producing enough raw cashmere to create one scarf. On arrival at the mills it is rigorously tested using a traditional hand-combing method to ensure it is of a high standard.
Made in Scotland
Our cashmere scarves are made at distinguished mills in the towns of Elgin and Ayr, using a mixture of processes both by hand and machine. Cashmere is carefully woven on a traditional loom, washed in fresh local waters and finished by skilled craftsmen using expert methods passed down through generations. Today, our cashmere scarves are recognised around the world and embody Burberry's values of design, craftsmanship and innovation.
Prints and Patterns
Discover our new service, The Scarf Bar. Allowing you to create your own scarf from over 30 colours, patterns and runway-inspired prints, designed in the Burberry studio in London. Camouflage and animal patterns were seen in the Autumn/Winter 2015 runway collections on bags and outerwear while heart and dot designs were shown in past seasons. Our iconic check features in a unique scale and is available in a large selection of colours. The original check in camel, black and ivory first featured as a trench coat lining and has been a badge of honour since at least the 1920s.
Personalise yours
Our cashmere scarves feature as part of our in store and online monogramming service, perfect for gifting. All styles are available to monogram with up to three personalised initials in over 30 complementary and contrasting thread colours, ranging from classic tones to seasonal colours. Two different font sizes can be used to monogram your scarf.
The Perfect Gift
Each scarf is carefully packaged in a trench-coloured cardboard tube, inspired by the cotton gabardine fabric that is used to make our heritage trench coats. Made in England, the tubes feature a matching ribbon and are embossed with the gold Equestrian Knight emblem. Monogrammed scarves include a personalised paper tag with the initials of the recipient for the perfect gift.

Why Iowa
Photo by University Relations Photography, University of Iowa
A First-Rate Hospital
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics is a state-of-the-art facility. We have sophisticated services and comprehensive resources. We are one of "America's Best Hospitals" as designated by U.S.News & World Report. We serve a large Midwest region for both primary care and specialized care, which assures that during your fellowship you will be exposed to a broad mix of patients and conditions.
Excellence in Patient Care
Delivering exceptional diagnostic and therapeutic services to our patients is central to our core mission in the Department of Radiology. Our cadre of subspecialty-trained faculty are nationally recognized leaders in radiology, and as one of only a few tertiary care hospitals in the region, our department offers unique imaging services to patients both within and outside the State of Iowa.
The Department also excels in its collaborations with other clinical departments and centers (e.g., Cancer Center, Stroke Center, Heart & Vascular Center, ETC, Trauma, Transplant-HBP, Urology, Breast Care Clinic, and the Children's Hospital) to ensure timely, relevant and patient-focused radiologic consultations.
Salary, Benefits, Schedules
Our annual stipends are competitive with other nationwide programs. PGY-6 fellows begin at a salary of $62,500/year. Couple that fact with the relatively modest cost of living in the Iowa City area, and UI Hospitals and Clinics compares very well to programs in large urban settings. Our work schedules include extended maternity leave benefits and meet national standards for time on duty and time off between shifts.
Support Is Always Available
The department has a dedicated fellowship coordinator, as well as IT support staff and a librarian. A door is always open to help you achieve your full potential and career goals.
We Sweat the Details
The dedicated professionals in our Graduate Medical Education office see to it that your time and effort are concentrated where they need to be--on your patients and on your career development. Your work as a fellow will be demanding enough. With that in mind, our Graduate Medical Education office has developed a suite of services to handle the details of employment and licensure.
You'll Love Iowa City
Iowa City and surrounding communities get consistently high ratings from national indexes of great places to live. Affordable housing, outstanding schools, moderate cost of living, superb shopping and entertainment, excellent transportation, and a mix of diverse cultures all make it a great choice, especially when you consider that much of it is available within easy walking or biking distance from our world-class hospital.
Being located on a Big Ten University campus creates a big plus for our residents. The University is a lively place for cultural and recreational activities. It is a hub for high-level sports and offers the excellent libraries, museums, and cultural centers you'd expect from a Big Ten school. Iowa has the smallest enrollment among the public Big Ten schools, which translates into a campus that's easy to navigate and a surrounding community that supports everything we do for our students and trainees.

Three people arrested in a series of medical marijuana dispensary raids last week successfully appealed their steep bail amounts this afternoon before a Jackson County Circuit Court judge.
Judge Tim Gerking reduced the $550,000 bail for Lori Duckworth, 50, and Leland Duckworth, 49, to $5,000 and $10,000 respectively. The bail for David James Bond, 44, was reduced from $200,000 to $5,000.
Supporters of the three gasped when Jackson County Circuit Judge Tim Barnack refused to lower the $550,000 bail holding the Duckworths in jail and bumped Bond's bail to $550,000 from $200,000 at a Tuesday hearing.
The Duckworths are charged with 11 counts each of conspiracy to deliver marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school and 11 counts each of manufacturing marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school.
Bond is charged with four counts of conspiracy to deliver marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school and four counts of manufacturing marijuana within 1,000 feet of a school.
Gerking cited the trio's strong community ties, limited or nonexistent criminal history and myriad medical issues as reasons for the bond reduction.
"I understand Judge Barnack's concerns and why he set bail so high," Gerking said, adding he was "reasonably satisfied" the defendants were not a flight risk or a danger to the public.
Lori Duckworth, a vocal proponent of medical marijuana, is the executive director of the Southern Oregon chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.
The SONORML office on West Sixth Street in Medford was one of four medical cannabis dispensaries raided by police on May 23.
Officers with numerous agencies descended on Puffin' Stuff on Crater Lake Avenue in Medford, the Green Compass on East McAndrews Road in Medford and The Compass on Second Avenue in Gold Hill.
Law enforcement alleges the dispensaries were storefronts for illegal marijuana sales.
The defendants on Tuesday each pleaded not guilty to all charges. They are scheduled for a pre-trial appearance on June 17.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Brandon Crawford's ascent to the big leagues was quick, but he left his mark on his minor league managers. With the San Jose Giants down 13 runs in the eighth inning one night, the shortstop chased a foul ball toward the stands.
"He dived for it and almost ran his head into the fence," said Andy Skeels, his manager at the time. "With the calm way he carries himself, you wouldn't know he's competitive. But guys who don't care about winning don't do something like that. He's a really, really competitive kid."
Crawford's fire was stoked at the end of spring training, when manager Bruce Bochy publicly said that Crawford would sit against some left-handers. After Sunday's 5-4 win over the Colorado Rockies, you can throw any talk of a platoon into McCovey Cove, where Crawford's 10th-inning blast off hard-throwing left-hander Rex Brothers finally landed.
"I changed my mind," Bochy said afterward, smiling. "It's against righties that I'll give him a break when he needs a day. He smoked that ball. I asked him if he had ever hit one further. That ball was tagged."
The first walk-off homer and first splash hit of Crawford's career might have tagged his name onto Bochy's lineup card for good. The sure-handed shortstop's .199 average against left-handers last season was the primary reason for his occasional days off, but after Sunday's homer, Crawford is 7 for 14 against southpaws this season with three walks. He had six extra-base hits against left-handers in 2013 but already has five this year.
"I knew it was something I needed to work on," Crawford said. "Whether he said I needed to or not."
That work came early and often this spring. Crawford put plenty of mileage on the arm of new left-handed batting practice coach Chad Chop, working on every possible situation and pitch. With the score tied at 4-all in the 10th inning Sunday, Brothers -- who had a 1.74 ERA last season -- tried to bust Crawford on a fastball down-and-in.
He missed his spot. Crawford didn't. He stood at the plate for a moment, watching the game winner soar over the bricks.
"I was making sure it stayed fair," Crawford said, a wry grin on his face. "I knew I hit it pretty good."
The homer clinched the series for the Giants and brought a thrilling conclusion to a day that briefly went off the rails in the late innings. After getting shut out Saturday, the Giants were held silent for four innings by Tyler Chatwood, but they broke through in the fifth on Crawford's sacrifice fly and Angel Pagan's two-run single. Pablo Sandoval's solo homer in the sixth gave Tim Hudson a 4-1 lead, and the right-hander looked as if he would pick up a complete game with room to spare.
Hudson sailed into the eighth, throwing 10 pitches or fewer in five of his first seven innings and giving up just two solo homers. There was no action in the home bullpen as Hudson began the eighth with a two-run lead and just 77 pitches on his ledger, but that changed in a hurry when Nolan Arenado and D.J. LeMahieu hit back-to-back doubles. A Drew Stubbs single off Javier Lopez tied the game.
Last May 25, the Giants beat the Rockies with a less conventional walk-off, Pagan's thrilling inside-the-park homer. Gregor Blanco nearly matched the feat in the bottom of the ninth Sunday when he roped a ball off the right field wall and raced home as Michael Cuddyer slipped and fumbled around. The two throws home were perfect, though, and Blanco, who acknowledged that he ran out of gas as he rounded third, was thrown out.
All that did was set the stage for Crawford, who leads all National League shortstops with a .981 OPS. As Skeels did last fall when telling stories about Crawford, Bochy on Sunday looked the part of a proud father. His shortstop halted any plans for a platoon, and Bochy couldn't be happier.
"You want these guys to say, 'Hey, wait a minute -- I can do this,' " Bochy said. "To his credit, he's really focused so well against these left-handers and used the whole field. He's getting better swings off, and that's part of his growth. That's what you want these guys to do, go 'I'll show you.' "
Crawford did Sunday, in the loudest way possible.

(WOMENSENEWS)--On the heels of other hot releases this month, "The Attack" opens June 21 and is the story of an Arab doctor (played by Ali Suliman) who lives and works in Tel Aviv, Israel. In the grief-filled aftermath of the death of his wife (Reymond Amsalem) in a suicide bombing, he discovers shockingly that she actually died by her own hand. The film's narrative, based on Yasmina Khadra's compelling novel, presents an unusual reflection on the complexities of Middle Eastern women's lives and relationships. The controversial film has been banned in Lebanon, and most Arab countries, since it was partly filmed in Israel. Fortunately, you can see it here and join the debate.
June 26
"Sing Me the Songs That Say I Love You: A Concert for Kate McGarrigle" is a biodoc and tribute film that opens June 26, in which the beloved Quebecois singer's life and work are celebrated via an all-star memorial concert presented in New York City in 2011. Directed by Lian Lunson, the film features performances of McGarrigle's songs by Rufus and Martha Wainwright (McGarrigle's children), as well as Norah Jones, EmmyLou Harris and other headliners. Particularly moving is Rufus Wainright's performance of "Candles," the beautiful song he composed in memory of his mother.
June 28
"Byzantium," scripted by Moira Buffini and directed by Neil Jordan, is a femme-centric -- or, more precisely, a mother-daughter -- vampire flick starring Gemma Atherton and Saoirse Ronan. This is sadly Ronan's second ignoble female role this month (she also plays Daisy in "Violet and Daisy," which opened on June 7). Jordan is a deft and sensitive director who's dealing with heavy-handed material, but in the end this drama hasn't much purpose at all.
"The Heat," written by Katie Dippold, stars Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy in a femme-centric thin cop-fat cop romp that delivers more crassness than it does comedy, and presents the two stellar comediennes as partners in grotesque stereotyping. Seriously, a boycott of the film might be in order.
"Some Girl(s)," directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer, is an episodic narrative that follows a successful writer (Adam Brody) who, just before he's to be married, travels across the United States to seek out his ex-girlfriends so he can heal whatever residual wounds may still exist from their breakups. The story is told from the man's point of view, but the five women on his list are finely developed characters, beautifully played by Kristen Bell, Emma Watson, Jennifer Morrison, Zoe Kazan and Mia Maestro. The film presents a menu of what might go wrong in relationships, perhaps reminding us of our own past nibbles.
In addition to covering film for Women's eNews, Jennifer Merin writes about documentaries for About.com and is president of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, a nonprofit organization of the leading female film journalists in the U.S. and Canada. She is also a member of the prestigious Broadcast Film Critics Association.

Unfortunately, upon receipt the bag looked significantly cheaper in person and I've already returned it for a refund.

A Quick Thank You!
by Scott Wagner » Sun Apr 11, 2010 6:58 pm
I want to say thanks to Dirk/Clint Korte, Bob Preston and Mark French for helping Connor and I out of a jamb yesterday. We showed up thinking we were race-ready, only to find out our shifter rod broke in two as we warmed up the motor for our first practice. Korte's loaned us a spare rod, and Bob helped me extend it to fit our kart which couldn't have been done without using Mark's drill and tap set! Not what I planned on doing yesterday afternoon, but it saved our race day....so Thank You! We appreciate all of your help!

I am brand new to the karting scene and have nothing but great experiences with everyone I've dealt with. Thanks to Nick Lucido, who helped me flip a tire and gave me some advice on how to break in my new tires. Also, Michael Johnson has given me tons of help from kart setup to driving techniques. Thanks to everyone that makes this club what it is.

Morning Song
by Sylvia Plath
Morning Song Introduction
In A Nutshell
As a twenty-year-old student at Smith College, Sylvia Plath insisted that "Graduate school and travel abroad are not going to be stymied by any squealing, breastfed brats" (source). Far too many women, she thought, were forced to give up any thoughts of their own life and work to take care of babies and maintain homes. Plath, determined to write and travel, found it difficult to imagine a future that adhered to the traditional roles women tended to occupy in the early 20th century.
Shortly after graduating from Smith, however, Plath received a Fulbright fellowship and travelled to Cambridge, England – where she met and married fellow poet Ted Hughes. Plath soon realized that she actually wanted to have children, and began a long (and agonizing) attempt to have a baby.
"Morning Song," written shortly after the birth of Plath's first child, explores both Plath's long-seated ambivalence towards motherhood and her growing love for her child. Exploring the strangeness and unnaturalness latent in the mother/infant relationship, Plath steps outside sentimental conventions. Her baby daughter isn't a lamb or a dove or any of the other cutesy little images that tend to cluster on "It's a Girl!" announcement cards. In fact, this poem doesn't just discuss the baby's birth – it addresses her child as an intellectual equal.
Although "Morning Song" was originally published in The Observer in May of 1961 (shortly after the birth of Plath's first child, Frieda), it wasn't included in a book-length collection until after her death. Ariel, the last of Plath's poetry collections, came out in 1966.
It's all too tempting to read all of Sylvia Plath's work in light of her ongoing struggle with depression and mental illness, and "Morning Song" is no exception. Such a reading, however, tends to gloss over the complicated emotions that almost any mother could feel at the thought of being suddenly responsible for a completely helpless little human being – or her recognition of the bond growing between the two.
Why Should I Care?
Hey, relationships are complicated. Isn't that what your mother/brother/best friend told you the last time that you had problems with your boyfriend/girlfriend… or your teacher… or your dog? Chances are that pretty much every person you deal with on a regular basis has inspired feelings that aren't always happy and warm and fuzzy. Emotions, it seems, aren't black and white. In fact, they're usually all sorts of shades of grey.
It's exactly this sort of complicated emotional response that speaker is dealing with as she interacts with her baby for the first time. So why should this mixed response seem so shocking? Well, maybe that's because everybody is supposed to looooooove babies. After all, they're genetically designed to sucker-punch us into cooing and ooohing and aaahing over their witty-bitty fingers and toes.
But what if you're the person who has to tote this little, crying, defenseless thing around for the next eighteen years or so? After all, for centuries women's primary "job" was to be a mother. Maybe those witty-bitty toes start to seem less charming when you realize that your job description just went from "poet" or "public intellectual" to "changer of diapers." We're not saying that it's a demotion. It's just one heck of a change.
It's this complicated response that Plath works out in her poem – and it's one that helps us think through all the ways that we might have mixed feelings about the ways that our relationships shape our identities, as well. Even if they're not relationships with babies.

They should bring Batch back as a coach and sign Jerrod Johnson again as the #3.
Reckon Batch will be up against Parker for the #3 job.
Gradkowski essentially takes away the need to draft a young QB, because he can easily play out his career as Ben's back-up, much like what any young, drafted rookie QB would be doing.
the time to draft Ben's eventual successor is not 2013. You'll just be wasting a young QB by doing that. Wait 2 more years, when Ben has 2 years left... that's the time.

With appropriate antibiotic treatment, TB can be cured in most people. Successful treatment of TB depends on close cooperation between patients and healthcare providers. Treatment usually involves taking several antibiotic drugs for at least 6 months and sometimes for as long as 12 months.
People who do not take all the required medicines can become sick again and spread TB to others. Additionally, when people do not take all the prescribed medicines or skip times when they are supposed to take them, the TB bacteria evolve to outwit the TB antibiotics. Soon those medicines no longer work against the disease. If this happens, the person now has drug-resistant TB. Additionally, some people with TB do not get better with treatment because their disease is caused by a strain of the TB bacterium that is already resistant to one or more of the standard TB drugs.
Multidrug-resistant TB (MDR TB) is TB that is resistant to at least two of the best Food and Drug Administration-approved anti-TB drugs, isoniazid and rifampicin. These antibiotics are considered first-line drugs and are the first medicines used to treat all persons with TB disease. Extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR TB) is a relatively rare type of TB that is resistant to isoniazid and rifampin, plus any fluoroquinolone and at least one of three injectable second-line drugs (such as amikacin, kanamycin, or capreomycin). Worldwide, TB drug resistance is on the rise. In 2010, the World Health Organization estimated that more than 650,000 people have MDR TB.
Treatment for drug-resistant TB often requires the use of special TB drugs, all of which can produce serious side effects. People with MDR TB may have to take several antibiotics, at least three to which the bacteria still respond, every day for up to two years. Even with this treatment, however, between 4 and 6 out of 10 patients with MDR TB will die, which is the same rate seen with TB patients who are not treated. Because XDR TB is resistant to first-line and second-line drugs, patients are left with limited treatment options that are much less effective.
For more information on drug-resistant tuberculosis, please see the Drug-Resistant TB Visual Tour.
Hospitals and clinics take precautions to prevent the spread of TB, which include identifying patients with suspected TB and using ultraviolet light to sterilize the air, special filters, and special respirators and masks. In hospitals, people with TB are isolated in special rooms with controlled ventilation and airflow until they can no longer spread TB bacteria. By having an infection control plan in place, healthcare settings can ensure the prompt detection and treatment of persons who have suspected or confirmed TB disease.

Depends on When You Were Born
My Father was born in 1901 and was too young for World War One and too old to serve in World War Two. A gentle, quiet man, he would have been a terrible soldier. My older brother, however, was inducted in the U.S. Army and served during the Korean conflict. In the 1960s I served during a period of peace despite Cold War tensions.

Rising high above the pavement on 34th Street and 5th Avenue in New York City sits one of the greatest skyscrapers ever built. At 1453 feet, the 103-story Empire State Building is not only a magnificent architectural structure, but also a marvel of engineering especially considering that it was built in The Great Depression of the 1930s. The story behind its construction provides a valuable lesson in the power of successful project management. Scheduled to be completed in an unrealistic amount of time—a mere 18 months—it was actually completed almost five months ahead of schedule and came in under budget.
RISKY BUSINESSConstructing the Empire State Building was clearly fraught with risk. In today's high-cost, highly competitive drug development environment, where complex compounds require sophisticated technology and great expertise, small biotech companies find themselves particularly vulnerable to risk during early clinical phases, especially because most compounds fail to proceed to late stage development. Injectable products are often considered the most challenging and expensive drugs to develop, so the project management process is especially vital.
Cost and time pressures can bring small biotech firms to the breaking point; having a skilled project management team in place as early as possible is crucial for survival. Clear and efficient processes, effective paths of communication, and close collaboration with technical experts during the early clinical phases should be given top priority. And in the event of something unexpected, the team must recalibrate the project plan to keep it on track.
A small biotech company that understands the value of an integrated project-management strategy has taken a first big step in reducing a drug's time to clinic, optimizing costs, and increasing its return on investment. On the flip side, without careful project planning, the risks can quickly escalate from losing time and money to outright failure of the project resulting in serious damage to the reputation of the company or, in the worst-case scenario, complete business failure.
A strategy planned in concert with a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) is often the key to properly allocating resources, creating a top-notch project management team, satisfying regulatory authorities, and advancing the compound to later-phase development.
The creation of an integrated project management team that will plan and form a development strategy is the strong foundation on which everything else will be built. The team's project manager has a responsibility to keep everyone's attention focused on project deliverables and deadlines and keep the project moving forward. Pulling together a group of individuals who are able and ready to solve problems from the lab to the filling line is key. By acquiring the most skilled, most experienced, and most qualified people, the project manager can often compensate for an overambitious schedule, too little money, or other project constraints.
For smaller companies, a lack of staffing and expertise to accomplish the project target means asking a CDMO to designate a project manager and create the team. The team should possess a variety of skills, including experience in packaging development, process development, quality management, supply-chain management, and regulatory affairs.

'The Three Stooges: Hollywood Filming Locations' by Jim Pauley (Santa Monica Press, $39.95, 336 pages)
Here's forehead-smacking news for any visitor to Los Angeles who can't get enough of Moe, Curly and Larry: This book is chock-full of careful research and hundreds of black-and-white photos documenting almost every cinematic move the Stooges made from 1934 to 1958 -- suitable for your coffee table, so long as you're willing to put your low-brow taste right out there for the world to see.
Most of those Stooges shorts were shot in and around Hollywood, and the maps in back show exactly where. At least two of the locations make for easy and pleasant visiting:
As for the site that author Pauley calls "the holy grail of Stooges locations" (Pages 42-53), it isn't so tourist-friendly. The long outdoor staircase near 2258 N. Fair Oak View Terrace in Silver Lake climbs through a rambling residential neighborhood. But that may not deter a determined Stoogian, because that's where the boys shot the ice-block delivery fiasco in "An Ache in Every Stake" (1941).

Naugy twins share a desire to lead
NAUGATUCK — Matt Burke is a mere two minutes older than his twin brother, Bryan.
"That's something that he'll always have on me," said Bryan. "A lot of people call me Matt's little brother. There has always been a little competition among us because of that. In my mind, I have to be better. When I hit the weight room, I go a little extra harder. It does feel good when I get to beat him in something. But it's all in good fun."
In the classroom, Bryan has the better grade-point average, 3.4, compared to Matt's 3.1.
On the football field, the two Naugatuck senior linebackers are both having stellar seasons and are two of the six captains this season for the Greyhounds.
Born March 1, 1996, the 17-year-old Burkes have shared the same bedroom their entire lives. And their mom, Virginia, shares the same birthday as her sons.
As competitive as they may be, Bryan says it's Matt who helps him with typical teenage difficulties.
"Matt's best quality is that he can make friends with anyone," said Bryan. "People go to him when they are sad and lonely. We both have our own problems. When we need to get something off our chests and not in the best of moods, we'll walk around town, sometimes for 20 minutes or even two to three hours and talk things out. It really helps."
That camaraderie carries over to the football field.
Matt Burke couldn't imagine football without his brother alongside.
"Ever since Pop Warner, no matter how we do, playing great or terrible, whether we are up or down in a game, Bryan is the one player on the team who maintains composure until the very end," said Matt. "He's got great leadership qualities."
Bryan proved that in a recent game against Wilby when he thought some of his teammates weren't as focused as needed.
"Some of the kids were pointing to the sky and talking about the stars and other things and not about football," said Bryan. "I got real emotional and told everyone in the huddle that we needed to pick it up and realize we were in a big game."
That intangible singles out the Burke tandem, noted Naugatuck's first-year head coach, Craig Bruno.
"They are two of the favorite kids I've ever coached," said the former Bunnell coach. "They play hard every day. I've never been more prouder to name two captains. They are great leaders on and off the field, in school and outside, and in everything they do."
Bruno referred to the Burkes' class role. Matt was the treasurer of the junior class and is currently the secretary while Bryan is the vice president of the senior class and also held a class office last year.
Being a part of the school decisions is important to Matt, who values the class fundraisers, the blood drives and other community projects they have helped to plan.
"I feel the high school years are way too short, but things we do create memories for a lifetime," said Matt. "We can help create memories for a lifetime and help people and represent Naugatuck High well."
From an appearance standpoint, Matt displays a clean-cut look, Army haircut look, different from Bryan's long wavy dark hair.
'When I was a younger, I always had longer hair," said Matt. "When the football season starts, it just gets in the way, so I have it cut. I like the clean-cut look."
Bryan likes to be different from his "older" brother.
"If I shaved my hair, we would look identical," said Bryan. "In the past, people would always mix us up. Having longer hair distinguishes me."
But Bryan said that, all differences aside, "I can't imagine Matt and I going our separate ways next year."
"Bryan has always kept me on my toes and has always been there for me through thick and thin," added Matt. "I am very lucky."
"We both are," added Bryan.

Hit by tornado, Emergi-Care clinic in Tuscaloosa being demolished after insurance settlement
Published: Wednesday, September 11, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 11:55 p.m.
It's taken almost two and a half years, but a lingering symbol of the damage brought by the tornado of April 27, 2011, is now coming down.
Emergi-Care clinic on 15th Street is being demolished this week after a recent settlement between Dr. Phillip K. Bobo and the Hartford Insurance Co.
At issue, almost since the storm struck, was the amount Hartford was willing to pay Bobo for the damage and costs to repair the building, which was all but
destroyed by the deadly tornado.
Bobo, speaking by telephone from his temporary clinic on Skyland Boulevard, said he is thankful this stage of the process is nearly over.
"This has been embarrassing and upsetting to me to have my building stand like that. I know it's been an eyesore," he said. "This should not have taken more than two years."
The fight to gain what he believed to be the true value of his building required Bobo to fight lawsuits on two fronts.
One was the case against the
insurance company itself, aspects of which remain ongoing, according to legal documents.
The building provision, however, was resolved Aug. 14 when separate appraisers representing Bobo and Hartford reached a settlement of $1.85 million for the value of the damaged 15th Street structure.
This led to the resolution of a separate lawsuit Bobo was involved in with the city of Tuscaloosa after the City Council voted in April 2012 to declare the wreckage a public nuisance and ordered it demolished.
Ronald W. Davis, Bobo's attorney, filed a stay in Tuscaloosa County Circuit Court to prevent the demolition, citing it as evidence in the pending case with Hartford, court records said.
On Aug. 19, Davis and City Attorney Tim Nunnally filed a joint motion to have the stay lifted on the building's demolition.
Circuit Court Judge Chuck Malone granted this motion four days later.
"My beef has never been with the city of Tuscaloosa. It's always been with the Hartford Insurance Co.," Bobo said, adding that city officials were instrumental in helping him open his temporary location in the former Bama Urgent Medicine across from Memory Hill Gardens within a month of the storm.
Robin Edgeworth, director of the city's Recovery Operations, was a key proponent of removing the structure.
With the resolution of the demolition side of this suit, Edgeworth said she was pleased to see its removal but said the devastated areas and residents of the city still have hurdles to overcome.
"While this structure continued to be a visible sign of work remaining to be done, there are so many in our community that are still struggling with the loss of family and property, and the city continues to seek funding and to utilize funding in a way that will facilitate the recovery," Edgeworth said. "This is a day that the neighbors can celebrate and we will certainly celebrate with them, but we know that our recovery is still ongoing but this is one step closer to our goal."
Bobo said he hopes to return to the 15th Street site where he operated for almost 30 years once the other pending issues of the suit, including the value of the building's contents, are resolved.
But that could be months — if not more years — away. Once the suit involving Hartford is finalized, Bobo estimates it will take at least a year to complete a new facility.
"I'd have loved to have this thing settled and be in a new building on 15th Street," Bobo said. "It's accessible from just about anywhere and it's a good central location.
"That's where I want to be."

How is America going to end? Aug 06 2009
In a week-long series for Slate, Josh Levin asks: how is America going to end?
Hurricane Katrina proved that modern America is resilient. It didn't prove that we'll be around forever. After watching the place where I grew up avert total annihilation, I can't help but wonder what course of events will eventually wipe out New Orleans and America as a whole. When it comes to human civilization, entropy conquers all: Rome fell, the Aztecs were conquered, the British Empire withered, and the Soviet Union cracked apart. America may be exceptional, but it's not supernatural. Our noble experiment, like every other before it, has to end sometime.

- CIF Open Division state final: How De La Salle and St. John Bosco stack up in the trenches
- CIF Open Division state final: A look at St. John Bosco's Division I talent
- De La Salle football team seeks fifth is straight CIF Open Division title
CONCORD -- At 6-foot, 225-pounds, Chris Williams doesn't exactly look like a high school quarterback when he's dragging defenders with him into the end zone.
But there's no arguing with his results for one of the nation's premier teams.
With Williams under center, De La Salle is 29-0 over the past two seasons. If he can lead the Spartans past St. John Bosco-Bellflower in Saturday's CIF Open Division state championship in Carson, he would become the first De La Salle quarterback to go undefeated in at least two full seasons since the program's 151-game winning streak ended at the start of the 2004 campaign.
Not bad considering Williams' high school football career began as a defensive tackle and linebacker for De La Salle's freshman team. He was a lineman for much of youth football and didn't take a snap until eighth grade.
"It's been a really big accomplishment," Williams, a senior, said of his varsity career in which he's passed for 2,677 yards, rushed for 846 and accounted for 52 touchdowns. "Freshman year I didn't think I'd ever be in the situation I am today. I had to put in a lot of work to get here, and I'm proud of it."
The lefty can sling it when called upon but has been trusted to run the offense just as much for his calm demeanor. Plus, he can run the ball like a fullback.
"He's got a toughness about him that we like," De La Salle coach Justin Alumbaugh said. "He doesn't get too flustered."
De La Salle's offense has been nearly unstoppable this year, averaging over 450 yards per game. In the veer, that doesn't happen without the quarterback making the right reads.
Williams' junior season started out rocky with turnovers and some poor decisions. But Alumbaugh calls his improvement since then "pretty dramatic."
"He doesn't get enough credit for how well our offense is doing," Alumbaugh said. "There's areas that he can improve on, but there's areas that all our guys can improve on."
Williams wasn't always destined to be De La Salle's starting quarterback.
The youngest brother of former Spartans wide receiver standouts Demetrius and Anthony Williams, Chris said he didn't take football seriously enough when he started at De La Salle.
His wake-up call came during a meeting with the coaches during his sophomore year.
"They kind of have that heart to heart with every athlete here," Williams said. "They say you're not going to achieve what you want to achieve unless you put in the work. I took it seriously and I changed. I changed my whole body over, and I changed my attitude and the way I approach things."
He's now a team captain, can bench press 315 pounds and also launches home runs for the Spartans' baseball team as a first baseman and outfielder. That's part of why his childhood nickname, Bopper, has lived on at De La Salle.
Williams has an offer to play football at Montana and baseball at Fresno State. He isn't sure which route he'll take.
"It's going to be a really hard decision," he said.
Since Saturday might be the last time he ever throws or runs for a touchdown, Williams plans to make the most of the opportunity.
The Spartans will need his best effort against a stout Bosco defense. Not only will he need to manage the game, but his arm also could be the difference.
"I haven't pulled any punches with him either," Alumbaugh said. "He's going to have to play really well."
