She peered over the rusty chain link fence dividing her garden from ours. "Would you like a few clumps of my ginger lily," she said reaching for the shovel indicating her sincere interest in sharing her fortune. As the shovel pierces the sandy surface, she continued on, offering advice the clump of apple green shoots now teetering on the rounded blade. "I find I must divide them every so often so they continue to flower. Afternoon shade is the best and once you have a clump growing, there will always be plenty to go around," Having these plants back in the garden was like catching up on a conversation with an old friend. Once it's over, you wonder why it took so long to reconnect. That fall, the long strap-like leaves gave rise to white flowers laded with the aroma of honeysuckle and vanilla, I remembered one again why this plant would forever more have a star spot in my garden.
The butterfly gingers are the essential southern perennial. They exist in our climate in a seemingly effortless state. Seldom picky about their home and almost always willing to show their gratitude with an abundance of disease-free foliate supporting a burst of color and fragrance as the days of August inch closer to fall. The most inexperienced gardener will find the white butterfly ginger, Hedychium coronarium, an easy choice to start the journey of ginger discovery. Hardy, robust and care free, this ginger with its white butterfly-like flowers grows anywhere from five-to-eight-feet tall in a single season. The late August flowering continues on until early November. It is by far the most common and in many instances one of the most shared of all plants in the southern landscape. The rhizomes are fleshy, strong root structures that are totally hardy year round.
From here, the choices will force even the most seasoned plantophile to palpitations of extreme severity. There are so many favorites to choose from, paring it down seems such a disservice to the whole genus of Hedychium. Orange and its shades dominate the many ginger cultivars available to gardeners in this climate. Another species, H.coccineum, sports longs orange flower spikes growing eight feet in height. It has been used to produce many hybrids popular for their bright color. H coccineum'Disney' is topped with brilliant orange-red flowers with a mild but intoxicating fragrance. Even though it grows between seven and eight feet in height, its erect stems hold their form throughout the season making it a great choice for tight spaces.
One of my personal favorites is H. 'Daniel Weeks'. Although it is a rapid spreader, sending its rhizomes in all directions forming three to four feet clumps in a few seasons, the height is unique reaching four to five feet in a season. The golden yellow flowers are by far one of the most fragrant. This plant also has a very long flowering period extending from July until a heavy frost sometime in mid-November.
Those who pine for a tall ginger will satisfy the desire with Hedychium 'Elizabeth'. nine to 10-feet tall spikes give rise to peachy-red flowers that also carry with it the unmistakable aroma known to ride the evening air on a steamy August night. Variegated foliage can also be had with an introduction called "Dr. Moy." The foliage looks as though a lazy painter dropped white paint from about, giving the plant a white speckled appearance. "Dr. Moy" flowers a little later in September. A dwarf by comparison it only reaches three to four feet. The peachy orange flowers are wonderfully fragrant.
While gingers are not picky with their wants and needs, adhering to a few simple principles will make them even easier to establish. Moisture and compost are their favorite friends. Adding generous amounts of organic matter such as mushroom compost or our local county compost will ensure good growth with adequate moisture retention. Water in dry periods will help the plants get through the summer growth period producing stems that will support the pineapple like heads that will have the flowers later in the season. The butterfly gingers will grow in full sun or partial shade. I find they like it best in a little afternoon shade. All that being said, if they are grown in full sun, they must have moisture to flourish.
Dig your clumps up every three years in the late spring as the new growth begins to emerge. Divide and save the newest, healthiest rhizomes. This is also the time to share with friends because the bushel baskets will be overflowing with extra plants. For continued shoot production which accounts for continued seasonal bloom, cut the flower stalks to the ground once they are completely through flowering. This in turn lets light get to the lower level of the plant, encouraging more shoot production.
The lure of the butterfly ginger is a strong one. Ease of care, strong architectural presence and longevity make for an exceptional choice when adding new plants to the borders.

Horace Mann Student's College Admission Chances Sabotaged
Someone attempted to sabotage a Horace Mann senior's college admissions chances by sending a letter with untrue and damaging information to schools the student is applying to, according to a letter sent to the senior class this week.
"In 20 years of college admissions I have never witnessed anything so disrespectful," wrote Canh Oxelson, director of college counseling at the Bronx private school. "For a student to have worked so hard for so many years, only to see those efforts jeopardized by an act of sabotage is absolutely unconscionable."
The act undermined the entire senior class by raising questions about the integrity of the school in the minds of admissions officers and feeding "the perception that we are hypercompetitive to the point of being unhealthy," Mr. Oxelson said.
Officials at Horace Mann declined to comment.
News of the anonymous letter surfaced several weeks ago, Mr. Oxelson said, noting that he has been working with admissions officers to "minimize the damage."
College admissions are central to the identity of the city's top private schools, which derive much of their prestige from their students' acceptance letters.
"When you have so much competition, you want something so much and you've been working so hard for admission—whether it's kindergarten or college—it can truly make the most sane person lose it," said Suzanne Rheault, the CEO of Aristotle Circle, a tutoring and admissions consulting company.
Ms. Rheault said she had heard from several parents at Horace Mann who were "very upset."
She praised the school for being upfront about the issue. "Transparency definitely helps," she said.
"Everybody was surprised and the children were particularly surprised because they feel close and a strong sense of camaraderie," said Mitchell Kline, a parent at the school. But Mr. Kline added, "we have full faith that the school handled this well."
Mr. Oxelson wrote in his letter that students and counselors at Horace Mann had spent weeks strategizing about how to provide admissions officers with the most positive impression of the school.
He said that included "doing the little things" such as greeting visitors politely, acting courteous on campus visits and demonstrating "kindness and respect" to "help outsiders understand who we really are."
But the school's reputation becomes "empty" when "it's clear we aren't living up to our core values," Mr. Oxelson said.
The letter's author was being investigated, Mr. Oxelson said.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
I am currently the Assistant General Manager and Marketing Director at Idlewild & SoakZone in Ligonier, PA, which was voted Best Kids' Park in the World by Amusement Today Magazine. I live in Greensburg, PA with my wife Melissa and three sons, Brooks, Carson and Reed. I am lucky enough to be able to catch a glimpse of the Saint Vincent Campus on my way to work every day.
One of my favorite aspects of my education was the small class size. Being able to get clarification from a professor and work closely with classmates not only helped in the education process, but prepared me for the variety of work environments I have encountered throughout my career. These interactions helped me develop as an individual and grow into somebody who is able to work as a member of (and also leader of) a team to accomplish one goal.
I loved all of my communication classes. The lessons I learned are beneficial everyday. David Safin was the first educator I met that made me feel like I was going to be successful after college. Not only was he able to teach me the fundamentals, but was able to inspire me to achieve outside of the classroom. My time at Saint Vincent helped shape me into the man I am today, and without a doubt, Mr. Safin was a huge part of that.
The next four years will go fast, enjoy them. Never make the same mistake twice.

When Volvo Construction Equipment's articulated hauler first hit the market in 1966, it was a ground breaking new concept. The company has continued to revolutionize its articulated hauler with the new F-Series, which includes features designed to improve comfort and productivity. The robust and reliable new F-Series articulated haulers — including the A25F, A30F, A35F, A35FFS, A40F and A40FFS — are suited to a wide variety of applications in quarrying, mining and earthmoving.
Steady and reliable
Featuring advanced technology and built on decades of experience, the powerful Volvo engine delivers the ultimate combination of high performance and low fuel consumption.
The Volvo drivetrain and a unique inline drop box designed for high ground clearance are purpose-built to ensure perfect harmony and optimized performance. The drivetrain's unique design delivers high rim pull, lowers fuel consumption and provides reliability in heavy-duty applications. The proven concept of oil-cooled wet multiple disc brakes on the A35 and A40 models is now being introduced on the A25F and A30F, reducing maintenance costs and increase uptime, even on muddy or dusty job sites. The retardation system controls downhill hauling speeds using wheel brakes and the Volvo engine brake.
To keep the F-Series surefooted in even the most treacherous of job sites, automatic traction control (ATC) and unique differential locks are standard. The ATC system automatically switches between unique drive combinations of 6x6 and 6x4 to ensure lower fuel consumption or maximum traction when needed. If necessary, all differentials can be 100% locked, causing all wheels to rotate at the same speed for maximized traction in slippery conditions.
With the A305F FS and A40F FS, full hydraulic suspension on all wheels increases productivity and makes for a more comfortable ride — not to mention excellent performance and high hauling speeds in tough conditions. The A35F, A35F FS, A40F and A40F FS can be equipped with Volvo's award-winning onboard weighing system, which allows for precise machine productivity monitoring, helping to optimize payload and minimize wear, tire damage and high fuel consumption.On FS models, the system uses full suspension pressure sensors to monitor weight, relaying information to load software integrated into the machine's electronics. Indicator lights tell the hauler operator, as well as the operator of the loading unit, whether the hauler is at part or nominal load or whether it has been overloaded.
The maintenance-free rotating hitch that connects tractor to trailer enables high ground clearance, boosting accessibility and drivability in tough conditions and maximizing uptime.
The centrally positioned ROPS/FOPS-equipped Volvo Care Cab gives the operator a commanding view of the job site, and ergonomically positioned controls are close at hand for ease of use. A new air-suspended seat, optional armrests and head restraints, and low noise levels further increase operator comfort and productivity. Without a threshold to cross, the cab can be easily and safely entered through a wide-opening door. And the F-Series climate control system comes with the cleanest air filtration system in the industry so operators can breathe easy — even on dusty job sites.
Maintenance, managed
The F-Series provides machine owners, operators and technicians with access to a wealth of data that promotes greater uptime — thereby lowering costs and increasing productivity. These machines come fitted as standard with CareTrack, Volvo CE's telematics system. Accessed remotely, CareTrack provides machine information such as fuel consumption and service reminders that allow improved planning and operation.
MATRIS further monitors operation, helping to optimize performance and fuel efficiency by tracking activity and identifying areas for improvement. It also allows machine owners to collect the same data as CareTrack, even if CareTrack is not available in their area. The Contronics system continuously monitors fluid levels and relays diagnostic information to a screen in the cab, providing warning messages to alert the operator to problems early on — reducing downtime and promoting operator safety.
Volvo leads the industry in service access, and the F-Series is no exception. F-Series haulers are designed for safe and easy maintenance, with a front grille that swings down and functions as a service platform with anti-slip steps. The engine compartment has a 90-degree tilting hood for easy access to filters and service. And on these new models, the hydraulic tank, muffler, fuel tank and refueling pipe have all been relocated to more intuitive locations, allowing for even easier maintenance.
The F-Series articulated haulers are available in Latin America, EMEA East and South, China, India, Southeast Asia and Oceania.

EAST LANSING, Mich. - Nikki Greene wasn't worried about Penn State's offense against Michigan State's second-ranked scoring defense.
When the Lady Lions scored nearly as many points in the second half as the Spartans had been allowing in entire games, her team's focus on defense made perfect sense.
Green had 14 points and 10 rebounds in a 76-55 win Sunday afternoon. The backcourt of Dara Taylor, Alex Bentley and Maggie Lucas also produced 43 points for No. 9 Penn State (12-2, 2-0 Big Ten).
"To be successful on the levels we want to be successful, we can't rely on outscoring people," Nittany Lions coach Coquese Washington said. "We have to be able to play both ends of the floor."
Greene did exactly that, going 6-for-9 from the field and disrupting the Spartans' offense with hard hedges away from the basket. Meanwhile, Taylor was 7-for-10 in scoring a game-high 18 points.
"We weren't really worried about offense, just about limiting their shots," Greene said. "And what Dara did was awesome. She showed her ability to score and play defense. We definitely took advantage of that."
Becca Mills had 17 points, including three 3-point baskets, for Michigan State (13-2, 1-1), which hadn't allowed more than 60 all season. Jasmine Hines added 12 points.
"It was a lot of little things today," Mills said. "Our fight wasn't there as much, and that showed."
So did Penn State's balance. It shot .518 from the field and .583 from long range, converting its chances inside and outside. Taylor was 3-4 beyond the arc.
"You've got to give them credit," Spartans coach Suzy Merchant said. "Dara Taylor hadn't been a good scorer, shooting 20 percent from the 3. But she came in here and knocked it down today."
The Nittany Lions dominated on defense, too, blocking seven shots and holding Michigan State to .293 accuracy from the field and .222 success from deep, showing the Spartans how their opponents had felt all season.
Penn State grabbed a 6-0 lead in the first 1:14, then blew a two-point game open with 11 straight points to go up 26-13. The Nittany Lions shot .462 from the field, .500 from 3-point range and 1.000 at the line in a 34-25 first half.
Michigan State had held its last 11 opponents to .205 accuracy from long range and 22.2 points less than their season scoring average. It did a good job on Lucas, as the nation's top 3-point shooter was 0-for-3 from the field and held to just six free throws in the first half.
But the Spartans shot just .348 in that span and committed 12 turnovers. If not for Mills' 12 points, the halftime margin might have doubled. Instead, only the final difference did.
"The biggest thing we wanted to do today was establish ourselves inside," Washington said. "I thought early in the game with Mia Nickson and Nikki, we were able to do that. In some of the games in the past, we haven't had enough balance between guards and posts."
Lucas, who finished with 12 points, nine below her average, picked up her third foul in the opening seconds of the second half. But she delivered a baseline drive and a free throw for a 40-27 advantage. Two putbacks and a foul shot by Greene plus a layup by Nickson made it 47-29 and gave Penn State four players with nine points.
The lead grew to 23 with another 10-3 spurt midway through the second half and reached 26 in the final minutes, as the Nittany Lions snapped a four-game series losing streak.
"I think our conference is one of the toughest, if not the toughest, in the nation top-to-bottom," Washington said. "Every game is a battle. Michigan State is a really good defensive team. So to be able to come in here and have the success we had today, I'm really thrilled about that."
PENN ST. (12-2): Taylor 7-10 1-1 18, Bentley 6-14 0-2 13, Nickson 3-7 0-0 6, Lucas 2-7 7-7 12, Greene 6-9 2-3 14, Agee 2-4 0-0 4, East 0-0 0-0 0, Edwards 2-4 0-0 6, Studevent 0-0 0-0 0, Waldner 1-1 1-3 3. Totals 29-56 11-16 76.
MICHIGAN ST. (13-2): Thomas 2-8 0-1 4, Pickrel 2-6 0-0 5, Bell 3-9 2-3 8, Schiffauer 1-6 0-0 2, Mills 5-16 4-6 17, Johnson 1-5 5-6 7, Hines 3-8 6-10 12. Totals 17-58 17-26 55.

So sweet! Matt is standing here too and I explained everything. At the very end he said, "Oh, Mom, I know all about that because of you."ReplyDelete
I saw that, it's awesome!!ReplyDelete
that's wonderful. breastfeeding is so natural and i'm not sure why so many people have a problem with seeing a mother nurse.ReplyDelete
i pretty much assume it's because breasts are so sexualized here in the states and in other countries. that and we just aren't exposed to it much.
if there were more shows, commercials, celebs being photographed nursing (you catch them doing everything but that), and women around you nursing openely you'd get used to it and not even notice.

Rather than all of the attention, time, energy, and resources we put into kids who sometimes behave inappropriately, the focus is on the kids who behave appropriately and also deserve and need reinforcement for their behavior.
We all remember the student who couldn't stay seated in class, or who talked back to the teacher and was sent to the principal on a regular basis. Maybe we were that person. These are the children, the ones with emotional and behavioral challenges, that Lakeisha Meyer is determined to help. The former school psychologist and new Assistant Professor of Education is focused on providing schools with straightforward, evidence-based guidance on the best ways to identify and assist students who need some extra help.
The first step toward helping students is to identify who needs what level of assistance. One model gaining popularity for academic issues is called Response to Intervention. Students are given a screening test in reading comprehension, for example. Children who perform poorly are provided with a short-term intervention, such as a reading coach who guides them through specific skills. Only students who do not respond to interventions are directed to special education.
Response to Intervention seems to work in many cases, but there are few guidelines as to exactly how it should be implemented. Which interventions should be used? How many different interventions should be tried and for how long before deciding a student will be better served in special education? With no universal guidance, schools are left to figure it out for themselves.
Schools also have few guidelines for how best to help children with emotional or behavioral problems. One approach to addressing those concerns is school-wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. Under this model, every school year starts with lessons on how to behave in school. Teachers cover everything from how to act in the hallway to what level of voice to use in the lunchroom. Throughout the school year, teachers and administrators then reward students for behaving properly.
"Rather than all of the attention, time, energy, and resources we put into kids who sometimes behave inappropriately, the focus is on the kids who behave appropriately and also deserve and need reinforcement for their behavior," Meyer says.
In her previous partnership with the Kentucky Center for Instructional Discipline, Meyer saw that Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports can help reduce behavior problems, especially at the elementary school level, but like Response to Intervention, more data are needed on exactly how well it works and the best ways to implement the programs. Meyer is interested in the intersection between the two programs.
"Is it possible that they really are the same thing and we don't have to present it to schools as if here's the model you have to use for reading problems, and here's the model you have to use when you are looking at emotional behavioral problems?" she asks. Providing a common approach that works whether a student can't seem to stay seated in class or is having trouble reading could simplify life for school districts and ensure that all children get the education they need.

For Diners Dangling From a Crane, May We Suggest the Hanger Steak?
A Pair of Belgians Hoists Adventurous Eaters High in the Air; Cocktails on a Tightrope
BRUSSELS—Mixing construction equipment with gourmet cooking, two Belgian entrepreneurs are trying to elevate haute cuisine.
Their effort began here as a stunt six years ago, when publicist David Ghysels and crane specialist Stefan Kerkhofs seated 22 people around a chef and hoisted everybody 180 feet into the air for a meal. Today, the Dinner in the Sky franchise has tables dangling in more than 40 countries, serving about 1,000 people each month.
"It's just a table hanging from a rope," says Mr. Ghysels, who has been surprised at the entertainment possibilities of extremely conspicuous consumption.
Now, having demonstrated that certain people around the world will fork over up to $500 apiece to dine strapped in like babies in car seats, the Belgian duo are trying to outdo themselves with acrobatic catering. Their latest brainstorm: cocktails served by tightrope walkers.
But finding spinoffs that fly can be tricky. Marriage in the Sky "seemed great on paper" but flopped with Europeans, who balked at spending $15,000 for 20 guests, says Mr. Ghysels. He hopes the concept will take off with adventurous Americans or perhaps in India, where it could serve as one element of lavish, extended wedding ceremonies.
Some meals can become nail-biters. When the team dangled a musical duo to serenade a nearby table of elevated diners, the piano player got scared that his bench would slip off the airborne stage, recalls Mr. Ghysels. But he calmed down.
Even a Michelin two-star chef couldn't tempt some acrophobic invitees to an exclusive lunch overlooking the Belgian royal palace last summer. Organizer Pascale Dedonker, who is country manager for Switzerland Cheese Marketing, says the promotional event was actually no more disconcerting than a ski lift.
Joy Sinberg insisted that crane operators take her up before she would approve the attraction for guests at a casino complex in Coconut Creek, Fla. She also pressed the team to get a $10 million insurance policy.
"It wasn't really as dangerous as it sounds," says Ms. Sinberg, who manages risk and insurance for the Seminole Tribe of Florida, owners of the Hard Rock Cafe chain. "It's like a big elevator." A giant fire-spitting dinosaur spectacle at another of the tribe's casinos "was a lot scarier" she says.
Most guests quickly get in the mood, experienced diners say. Wine promoter Baudouin Havaux staged Cabernet tastings at a table hanging over the Formula One racetrack of the Belgian Grand Prix in 2007 to gin up publicity. The opportunity made jaded adults "as excited as children at Disneyland," he says.
Some people get too comfortable. Mr. Ghysels recalls "a very famous woman" who was irked by the shoulder straps and kept trying to remove them. After repeated requests to stop, he says, she was asked to leave the table. It descended first.
As with expensive restaurants, location is critical. Dinner in the Sky has run meals with breathtaking views of Rome, São Paulo and Sydney, which help if the novelty of elevation wears off.
"I've never heard anyone say, I'd really like to dangle from a crane and be fed," says Scott Kennedy, co-owner of Candyfish, a sushi restaurant in Delray Beach that did catering for the Seminole casino.
"It's a cool experience," he says. But "Delray Beach is not the prettiest city. And at night you can't see the ocean because it's pitch black." His ideal location is Las Vegas.
The owners of Victoria's Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas agree, which is why they are opening a permanent installation under franchise in a few weeks. "It totally fits Las Vegas," says spokeswoman Jennie Hendricks.
In the city of nonstop glitz, nobody questioned the idea of two tables going up and down, offering eight "flights" a night, she says. Other questions did arise.
"A lot of people ask how do you go to the bathroom," Ms. Hendricks says. The trip requires lowering the whole table, which takes about three minutes. "We strongly encourage people to go beforehand," she says.
And an area on the ground below the table is kept clear in case a diner drops a fork.
Handling such down-to-earth concerns was one of the challenges when the Belgian creators got started. Mr. Ghysels, who is 48 and owns a creative marketing agency called Hakuna Matata, around 2004 wanted to celebrate his daughter's birthday in the air but lacked lift.
Mr. Kerkhofs, 43, separately hit on the idea of suspending a table. He had grown up playing around heavy equipment at his parents' construction firm and in 1990 started his own bungee-jump company. "I know what you can do with a crane," he says.
When an acquaintance connected them in 2006, "it was like telepathy," says Mr. Kerkhofs, who also owns an event company called the Fun Group.
An early focus was on making the equipment safe and on assuring diners that they wouldn't slip off. Tables and seats have redundant attachments and an extra person is on hand at each meal to enforce strict procedures. The owners say they realize that an accident could doom their business. "It's entertainment," says Mr. Ghysels. "It's not something necessary."
After the first meal, in April 2007, drew attention, requests to replicate it arrived from the U.S. and Germany, so the duo began franchising. The tables' visibility meant they could be turned into floating billboards and thus attract sponsors to offset the high cost of an event.
Expanding into Saudi Arabia posed a problem because of rules against men and women mixing socially. So rather than offering a single table, the company developed a cluster of six four-person tables served by tethered wait staff. The arrangement is now being offered as Lounge in the Sky. Two tables can be removed to make room for musicians or dancers, who perform in tethers similar to parachute harnesses.
While Dinner in the Sky keeps trying new gimmicks—like wrapping a table in rough wood to resemble a beach bar, with palm tree roots dangling—the company has no plans to expand in other directions, like undersea dining. "Water is great, but you need sponsors," says Mr. Ghysels. "Under water, nobody looks at you except fish."

Corrections & Amplifications
Seminole Casino Coconut Creek is in Coconut Creek, Fla., and a fire-spitting dinosaur spectacle staged by the casino's owner occurred at Seminole Casino Hollywood in Hollywood, Fla. An earlier version of this article misstated the location of Coconut Creek casino as Delray Beach, Fla., and where the dinosaur spectacle occurred as Coconut Creek.

For about the last three months, it's been impossible to look at a magazine rack and not see pictures of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie looking pensive together or frolicking on the beach together or doing something together implying a certain, um, togetherness. This has given "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" the putrid smell of "Gigli."

CHARLES TOWN - Wednesday marks the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, a highlight of the civil rights movement when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his now-famous "I Have a Dream" speech.
To commemorate the efforts of those who marched in 1963, and to move forward with civil rights issues today, a 50th anniversary "March for Jobs and Justice" will be held in Washington, D.C. The march will begin at 600 New Jersey Ave., N.W. at 9 a.m. "Veterans" of the original 1963 march will lead the way, as will the Civil Rights Museum on Wheels-a restored segregation-era transit bus.
George Rutherford, president of the Jefferson County NAACP, said some people from Jefferson County will be attending the march, but it is not an organized effort.
Rutherford believes the civil rights movement isn't finished, and the nation has a long way to go in improving the lives of minorities.
"Much more needs to be accomplished," Rutherford said. "There are problems with education and unemployment (in the black community). We've made progress, but still need to improve."
James Tolbert, a Charles Town resident and former president of the West Virginia NAACP, attended the 1963 March on Washington.
"The intent was to call attention to the inequalities blacks and minorities face in this country," Tolbert said of the 1963 march.
Tolbert said he will not be attending Wednesday's march, although he would like to.
Like Rutherford, Tolbert also thinks more can be done for civil rights today.
"There's voter suppression, voter ID laws and high unemployment rates for young people, especially blacks," Tolbert said.
Tolbert also mentioned an achievement gap in education and issues surrounding states' "Stand Your Ground" laws in the aftermath of the Trayvon Martin case as current civil rights issues in need of addressing.
"We made some progress, but there's still a lot to do," he said.
Wednesday's march will primarily take place along Constitution Avenue, making stops at the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Courthouse and the Department of Justice.
There will be a water station and first-aid services near Meade Memorial.
The march will continue onto the National Mall and finish with a speech from President Barack Obama at the Lincoln Memorial, in the same place where Dr. King delivered his "I Have a Dream" address 50 years ago.

Little remains unknown about the Beatles – they're one of the world's greatest rock and roll bands and have likely been photographed more times than Bieber and Britney combined.
But now Ringo Starr is unveiling more than 100 never-before-seen images of the Fab Four that he took during their '60s prime.
In a new e-book, Photograph, the Beatles drummer reveals intimate pictures of the group, including black-and-white and color photos of Starr, now 72, Paul McCartney, John Lennon and George Harrison during their first U.S. tour, their fabled trip to India to meet the Maharishi, and their last days together as a band.
In fact, Starr tells PEOPLE that he only recently discovered many of these of photos "in boxes we brought home after my mother died. We thought, 'I wonder what she's got!' "
For an exclusive first look at Starr's book, pick up a copy of this week's PEOPLE, on sale nationwide Friday. Photograph, published by Genesis Publications, is also available for purchase at the iBookstore and at RingoPhotograph.com.

Roberto Cavalli
The Roberto Cavalli Home collection features select choices, inspired by colour, realised and adapted according to the furnishings. The iconic Italian designer has drawn on different fabrics and materials, set off by a single print, dye or effect, transforming them into exclusive pieces.
'When I create a dress I want it to emphasise the femininity of a woman at all times; and so as with designing for the home, I try to identify the character of the people I'm designing for, thinking how I can diffuse this with the colours, the warmth and joy of living that first of all one gives oneself....'
This striking collection is born from a desire to share the optimism of Roberto Cavalli's fashion with those who love him and is completely derived from his creativity, his philosophy, and his style. He believes there is no difference between the thinking behind designing a clothing line and a homeware line. The Roberto Cavalli lifestyle is always hugely driven by passion.

5 New Products That Prove Humanity Is Doomed
The world is full of stupid products that most of us will never understand fully. Take the Snuggie, for instance. Use a blanket. If a blanket is too complex for you, or somehow not complex enough, then nature legitimately wants you to die from exposure. Your use of a Snuggie is just a vain and frankly hurtful attempt to suggest that nature is wrong. And it's not wrong. If you own a Snuggie, don't be surprised if coyotes attack you. You deserve it.
While a Snuggie is just a stupid invention, there's a whole different layer, a subculture, if you will, of products that bring shame not just to the people who made them or may use them, but to reality as a whole. These things just shouldn't exist because they don't need to exist. But the fact that they continue to exist is a head-shaking testament to why bad things happen to good people, why erectile dysfunction occurs, and spiders.
#5. American Shreds
I need you to not snap to a judgment on this product right off the bat, because if you do, you may miss one of the most enlightening experiences of your life. American Shreds is a "pasteurized process topping." The main ingredients include water, food starch, and partially hydrogenated soybean oil. If you're a savvy shopper, you'll notice right away that "food starch" is the most vaguely named ingredient to be included in a dollar store item since the "assorted meats" that seem to be finding their way throughout European IKEA stores.
"Food starch" is a catchall term for any kind of starch. Corn starch, tapioca starch, hobo starch. Has the word "starch" lost meaning for you yet? I just had to Google it. In a nutshell, American Shreds, and their nefarious international cousins like Italian Shreds, are edible Play-Doh tidbits flavored like cheese, emblazoned with the warning that they are not designed to melt, so please don't expect to make a ghetto pizza with them. They're just going to sit there, repugnant little rubbery tubers in yellow or white, mocking your inability to afford real cheese, which doesn't actually cost that much more if you buy it as a brick and grate it yourself.
Even vegan cheese melts; they designed it that way because it's really the only redeeming feature cheese has. It's a major part of the cheese-eating experience. These insincere shreds of deception don't do anything, and their existence is literally as a placeholder, a mock-up to trick someone (clearly not the person eating them) into believing that actual cheese making and consumption has occurred. To what end? Who benefits from American Shreds? This is the food equivalent of the Matrix. Why is it happening? This lie only makes everything infinitely more complicated for all involved. It has exactly none of the benefits of real cheese -- there's no calcium, it doesn't melt, there's no way it doesn't taste like an old-timey muscle man's back after a strenuous day of lifting those big, round dumbbells -- and I would wager a tidy sum that you can shit these things out completely unadulterated, because if the power of a microwave oven can't deform them, what chance do your bowels have?
Do not buy fake cheese. You're making the world worse if you do.
#4. Toaster Chicken
Chickens are birds that suck at flying, lay eggs, cluck, and are all-around delicious. That's 95 percent of everything you need to know about chickens. The last thing you need to know -- there's plenty more to know, like how to properly breed the Guatemalan Chicken of Paradise, or the proper ratio of chicken wings to whiskey to make your own man party a depressing affair, but the one other thing you need to know -- is that chicken will fuck your ass up. Literally.
Chickens apparently spend their formative years bathing in bacteria frappes and just jamming their orifices full of toxic sludge to the point that, when chicken gets to your house, you better hold it at the proper temperature lest every inch of your home get slathered in salmonella as though it were a sorority girl who ran away to Hollywood and walked into the wrong audition. Chickens drop salmonella like Sisqo drops phat beats. Google it, kids.
Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Pictured: Not a goddamn clue.
Because chicken is so dangerous, you need to make sure it's cooked thoroughly and that you resist any and all temptation to take a slimy, raw chicken breast and practice your make-out skills on it. And then some wise ass invents fuckin' toaster chicken. Oh hey, you want a poultry Pop-Tart? We got that. Just put this piece of formed meat substrate into that toaster that can barely warm a bagel and go crazy, bitch. And listen, if a thin, oily liquid that smells like corpses and your own tears starts running down your inner thigh, just cross your legs. What else are you going to do, cook a real chicken or something? In the oven?
I understand that the world is awash with lazy people. If I could have tricked the people at Helping Hands into giving me a helper monkey that could have typed this article for me while I dictated it from the tub, I would have. Also, when you finish this article, go to that site -- it's so awesome, you don't even know. But laziness should never be the reason you shit yourself to death. If a doctor has to call your time of death and then scribble "shat toaster chicken until his insides became his outsides" on your chart, you fucked up. Eat a Hot Pocket if you hate yourself. Microwave a slice of bologna on a piece of white bread and weep all night while you eat the slimy thing, alone as you so obviously are, but then wake up tomorrow and try again, because you didn't eat fucking toaster chicken.
#3. Home DNA Tests
Understand that I fully appreciate the usefulness of a DNA test in the world at large. Obviously this is apart from its usefulness in law enforcement, but with adoptions and paternity suits and the like, I get why a DNA test could be extremely useful to any number of people and could potentially change the lives of many. It's not the DNA test that's the problem here at all. It's the "home" part.
The need for convenience, or rather the perceived need for it, has pushed a lot of innovations that most of us don't really need at all. Wanting to take matters into your own hands has led to the DIY sex toy boom, home tattooing, home bikini waxing, and other destructive foolishness that will leave you alone to writhe in agony because you chose to do something at home that someone else obviously should have done for you.
Ethan Miller/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
"You are NOT the father! Wait, no, this says you are not a decent human being. My bad."
While a home DNA test isn't harmful physically, it probably causes untold metaphysical damage, insofar as the implications of you needing to genetically identify someone in your own home are mind-boggling. You've gotten to the point in your life when you have a child handy and you're just not sure who owns it, or, less likely, you have a lot of errant genetic material on your walls and pets and whatnot and you'd like to know who put it there.
You can buy a home kit for only $27 at Walmart with an additional lab fee to process your results. So basically, the cost of being a Maury guest and not bothering to space out shots on goal from multiple dudes is about $150. Also, the box says, in an italic script, "for alleged father, mother, and child." That's the most haunting line you'll read on any single product in a Walmart pharmacy section.
We live in a world where it's now necessary, on some level, or at least more convenient, for people to go out and pick up Cheetos while confirming the genetic identity of their child. This says nothing positive about our culture whatsoever.

After some changes to its original plan, Tiffin Bark Park is expected to open by the summer of 2014.
Keith Hodkinson, chairman of Tiffin Bark Park Citizens Committee, said the original plan to open the park in the spring or summer of 2013 was not feasible. The delay allowed members of the committee to reassess its decisions on the bark park, he said.
Hodkinson said a major change to the park's original plan was the pond, which was a concern for the board.
"It was not going to be feasible to put a pond in because it was just going to be a mess," he said. "It would end up being dirty; it would end up probably not smelling all that great. Unless we put in a $100,000 filtration system, it was not going to be clean."
He said he is looking to get a spray ground area, which would have underground plumbing which could spray water up from the ground from different locations.
"I still feel emphatically that the water feature will be the key to us attracting people from the outside area," Hodkinson said. "Otherwise, we're just another dog park."
The spray ground area is to be fenced in, and only dogs would be allowed to use it. There is to be seating inside of the fenced area for owners to watch their dogs, he said.
He said the water used for the spray ground would be clean water, and the spray would run on a timer system a dog owner could set.
"This is what will give us a uniqueness to the bark park," Hodkinson said.
He said if Tiffin Bark Park has a spray ground area, it would be the only one in this part of the state.
Hodkinson said he asked Lenny Clouse and Clouse Construction Corp. to help with the construction plan of the dog park.
He also said it is important to allow more time for the grass to grow.
"We have to make sure the grass is correct," he said. "The last thing we want to happen is for us to open up the bark park on grand opening day and we know a lot of dogs are going to come in and they rip all the grass up. Obviously, we don't want that to happen, so we're going to wait until it's the right time. We're going to do it right."
The entire dog park project is expected to cost around $190,000, and Friends of Tiffin Bark Park Inc. has raised around $93,000, Hodkinson said.
There is no city funding being used to build the park, he said.
Hodkinson said Jeff Hoyda, Mercy Tiffin Hospital, Reineke Family Dealerships, Republic Lumber, Clouse Electric and other companies are sponsoring different parts of the dog park.
He said the park received a lot of support at a fundraising event at Bob Evan's Family Restaurant earlier this week.
"I was in there today and they said it was the largest turnout they've ever had in all their fundraisers," Hodkinson said. "The place was packed."
"In many respects, it was good that we are holding off in letting the grass grow, it gives us time to raise funds," he said.
He said bark park supporters also will have another 5K run, like last fall.
Hodkinson said the park also is likely to charge an annual fee for dog owners to use the park, which would go toward maintaining the park. He said most nice dog parks charge a fee.
Those who are visiting from out of town, or just using the dog park for one time, would be able to get a guest pass for a fee of around $5.
"We want to keep this maintained," Hodkinson said. "We want to keep this nice and fresh. This is a reflection for people outside of our area. We want it to look nice."
He said the park will be a point of attraction for Seneca County, and it will bring many visitors to the area. He said it can also be a place for local people to spend time and socialize.
"My goal has always been to make this just as much a social setting for humans as it (will be) for dogs," he said.
Anyone looking to support Tiffin Bark Park can purchase a paver for $100, and the park plans to offer $250 sponsorships to hang a plaque with the name of a person or business on the fence around the dog park. Sponsorship forms are available at www.tiffinbarkpark.com.

The 4 Worst Famous Relatives People Managed to Live Down
#2. Anne Bird
Who She Is
This California resident became a best-selling New York Times author after publishing a suspense thriller about a woman given up for adoption who reunites with her family ... only to suspect that the brother who lives with her is a scheming killer. It was sort of a reverse Dexter.
Oh, except it wasn't fiction, and the longer he lived with her, the more she came to believe that he had murdered Laci Peterson and their unborn son.
William Morrow Paperbacks
See? He even looks like Michael C. Hall.
The Relative
Laci Rocha had a huge smile and a passion for horticulture. Have you ever known any horticulturalists who weren't nice people? No, you have not, because they are one with the plants. Unfortunately, she married Scott Peterson, and was therefore quite an impediment to the household's "Scott Peterson Gets to Do Everything He Wants" plan.
Getty Images/Getty Images News/Getty Images
On Christmas Eve 2002, Peterson reported his wife missing. She was a pretty, pregnant white woman, three adjectives you might recognize as the media coverage trifecta. Very soon, the entire nation was watching the news story instead of It's a Wonderful Life.
It soon came to light that Scott was sticking his Peterson in so many women that he qualified for a gynecology doctorate. His philandering, of course, was at odds with his moral and financial responsibilities as a family man. Divorce was not an option, because it doesn't come with a hefty life insurance payout, so Peterson summoned his best psychopathy and dispatched his wife to the ocean. Her unborn son washed up a few months later, as did her badly degraded body the following day. If you're waiting for the joke about that, I'll make one as soon as I can stop shrieking.
Peterson was arrested in possession of everything you would need to convince police to do that: a ridiculous amount of camping equipment, an ax, a dagger, a gun, over $10,000 in cash, four cellphones, and other people's ID and credit cards. The only thing he didn't have was a good excuse for why he had dyed his hair blond.
Getty Images/Getty Images News/Getty Images
"As your lawyer, I advise you to stop murdering your family."
The Renunciation
In the wake of Laci's disappearance, the Peterson and Rocha families came together to endure the agonizing investigation. Scott stayed with his sister Anne, who had been welcomed back into the Peterson clan five years earlier.
Living in close proximity, Anne observed a lot of odd behavior from her brother as the case developed. While the Peterson family -- including Anne -- still supported Scott even after his arrest, she eventually realized that he was pretty good at this murder business, although not as good at pretending to miss his wife.
Anne wrote her memoir of the investigation, Blood Brother: 33 Reasons Why My Brother Scott Peterson Is Guilty. Its publication estranged her from the Petersons, since it's hard to brag that your kid's a New York Times best-selling author when the book's about how your other kid is damned in blood.
#1. Wafah Dufour
Who She Is
Born to parents of mixed Middle Eastern (and Swiss) backgrounds, this aspiring model/musician made a small splash around 2005 and 2006 when she scored a reality TV show about struggling in the entertainment industry. The show was pitched as bridging "the gap that people feel exists between the cultures she has lived in."
Dufour was born in Los Angeles and moved to Saudi Arabia, then Switzerland, before returning to America to earn a law degree at Columbia. Then one bright day in September, Wafah bin Ladin found it prudent to start using her mom's maiden name.
Getty Images/Getty Images News/Getty Images
He died as he lived: surrounded by porn.
The Relative
Osama bin Laden is the 17th son of Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden, who fathered 54 children. That's normally cause for a high-five, except when one of them tests a new form of murder on 3,000 people. Also, it's not super classy that the 22 wives who birthed them got dropped like a box of hot rocks when their faces wrinkled.
What's really important is that Wafah Dufour has never met her estranged dad's half-brother. Not even once. She was on bad terms with her father well before September 11, but that didn't stop people from sending her death threats. And I don't know about you, but when I send death threats to strangers, I make sure they've actually gotten away with a crime, like worshiping a different god than mine, or filming a Friedberg/Seltzer spoof movie.
Vince Bucci/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
No jury on earth would convict you, unless it was 12 drunken Pitbull fans.
The Renunciation
If you want to make it in the music industry, you need a hook to make it big. Most stars just wear clown wigs and sleep with John Mayer, but some are more audacious. For the people managing Wafah Dufour, the hook was her uncle's terrorist antics. Even the articles about her having zero connection to Osama bin Laden focus entirely on that relationship. While it's great to be forthcoming, introducing your client to everyone as "bin Laden's niece, but don't hold that against her" is not only marketing, it's bad marketing.
Girlfriend, your only crime was going blonde.
Dufour seemed to want to talk about anything besides her half-uncle, but her publicist insisted that she explain the matter. He also referred to her in public as Wafah bin Ladin, but encouraged reporters to move past that connection. When a publicist can't get his client's music onto the first page of Google returns for her name, he's less equipped to do his job than a Japanese whaler with a Nerf gun, and at least the whaler won't reopen any wounds.
Dufour appeared to truly want her name detached from a stranger's crimes. But when you hitch your wagon to media opportunist Judith Regan, you're hooking up with the lady who tried to make murder lucrative for OJ Simpson. Here's ReganMedia's press release, classily worded to show up in Web searches for "capture bin Laden."
ReganMedia needs to examine its values
Bin Ladin captured ... the hearts of America!
According to people monetizing a tragedy, the show's premise was "Can America overlook the bin Laden connection?" The answer: Not if that's your premise. You can't ask people to disregard your accident of birth while you use that same request as a springboard to fame. That trick only works for the Gottis, whose lawyers would like our lawyers to remind me to remind you that they are not associated with the mob -- although they are associated with something much more reprehensible: Judith Regan.
Brad Barket/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The working title was eventually shortened to "Nope!"
Thankfully, producers passed on this program, and no pilot was ever produced. America will never forget that brave day when we, as a nation, spoke in one heroic voice to say, "No, Hollywood, not today. You can do anything else, but this ... this is the line right here."
TLC is a misnomer
