Yannis Ritsos
Poet Details
"Yannis Ritsos," wrote Peter Levi in the Times Literary Supplement of the late Greek poet, "is the old-fashioned kind of great poet. His output has been enormous, his life heroic and eventful, his voice is an embodiment of national courage, his mind is tirelessly active." At their best, Ritsos' poems, "in their directness and with their sense of anguish, are moving, and testify to the courage of at least one human soul in conditions which few of us have faced or would have triumphed over had we faced them," as Philip Sherrard noted in the Washington Post Book World. Twice nominated for the Nobel Prize, Ritsos won the Lenin Peace Prize, the former Soviet Union's highest literary honor, as well as numerous literary prizes from across Eastern Europe prior to his death in 1990.
The hardship and misfortune of Ritsos' early life played a large role in all of his later writings. His wealthy family suffered financial ruin during his childhood, and soon afterward his father and sister went insane. Tuberculosis claimed his mother and an older brother and later confined Ritsos himself to a sanatorium in Athens for several years. Poetry and the Greek communist movement became the sustaining forces in his life.
Because his writing was frequently political in nature, Ritsos endured periods of persecution from his political foes. One of his most celebrated works, the "Epitaphios," a lament inspired by the assassination of a worker in a large general strike in Salonica, was burned by the Metaxas dictatorship, along with other books, in a ceremony enacted in front of the Temple of Zeus in 1936. After World War II and the annihilation of Greece's National Resistance Movement—a Communist guerrilla organization that attempted to take over the country in a five-year civil war—Ritsos was exiled for four years to the islands of Lemnos, Makronisos, and Ayios Efstratios. His books were banned until 1954. In 1967, when army colonels staged a coup and took over Greece, Ritsos was again deported, then held under house arrest until 1970. His works were again banned.
Ritsos' poetry ranges from the overtly political to the deeply personal, and it often utilizes characters from ancient Greek myths. One of his longer works and the subject of several translations, The Fourth Dimension, is comprised of seventeen monologues that most frequently involve the ancient King Agamemnon and the tragic House of Atreus. Narrated by such classical figures as Persephone, Orestes, Ajax, Phaedra, and Helen of Troy, The Fourth Dimension is a "beautifully written book . . . describing what happens when love and hate and sibling rivalry run amok," commented Stand reviewer Mary Fujimaki, who also praised the work's "colour, the excitement, the shifting back and forth from past to present that naturally makes the stories seem more familiar to modern readers." Shorter in length are the verses from 1991's Repetitions, Testimonies, Parentheses, a collection of eighty relatively brief poems that incorporate Greek myths and history. "Here . . . is the Ritsos of 'simple things,'" commented Minas Savvas in a review for World Literature Today. "The desire to draw out a moment or an object and magically expand it for its mystifying, arcane significance is wonderfully evident in these laconic, almost epigrammatic poems."
Many critics rank Ritsos' less political poems as his best work. George Economou, writing in the New York Times Book Review, stated that "in the short poems, most of which are not overtly political, Ritsos is full of surprises. He records, at times celebrates, the enigmatic, the irrational, the mysterious and invisible qualities of experience." Vernon Young in Hudson Review cited Ritsos' "remarkable gift . . . for suggesting the sound and color of silence, the impending instant, the transfixed hush." Similarly, John Simon pointed to the surreality of Ritsos' work. In a review of Ritsos in Parenthesis for Poetry, Simon wrote: "What I find remarkable about Ritsos' poetry is its ability to make extraordinary constructs out of the most unforcedly ordinary ingredients—surreality out of reality. And seem not even to make it, just find it." Simon also found a loneliness in Ritsos' poems. He explained: "Ritsos . . . is also a great bard of loneliness, but of loneliness ennobled and overcome. Poem after poem, image upon image, suffuses aloneness with a gallows humor that begins to mitigate its ravages and makes the person in the poem a Pyrrhic winner." Ritsos' final volume of verse, Argha, poli argha mesa sti nihta, was completed just prior to his death and published in its original Greek in 1991. "The imagistic dynamism, lyric intensity, and astonishing quasi-surrealistic expressions" that characterized the poet's work for his seventy-year career are, in the opinion of World Literature Today reviewer M. Byron Raizis, "manifest again, as refreshing and effective as any time during . . . his creative activity."

Wonderful Facts The fact that Affect Our Children Everyday
At the start it is important to understand that nursery educational institutions and other training establishments carry out an amazing task in making certain our little one's health, protection and welfare is guarded. From ensuring teachers and even classroom colleagues are entirely trained to tiny things like teaching the children how you can wash their own hands as well as blow their particular nose, this role of someone working in the training industry is consistently evolving.
But since a play room or institution teacher or maybe as a mother or father, did you know unique fact that the common toddler will be ill ten times a year from microbes they have acquired. And on the main topic of germs, did you know that the human body hosts over multitude of species of microorganisms and that advantages germs within you than there are people living in Indonesia?
The truth is, quite a few germs are useful as they help both children and adults build up their particular immune system which will helps us stay healthy and fight bacterial infections. And yet using 90 per cent of germs on the hands being observed under the claws, it is barely surprising that will 4 out of every 5 diseases are distributed by effect. Based on this kind of, the fact that additional germs usually are spread by means of shaking hands and fingers than by kissing would appear to make sense.
Some other wonderful facts structured around a little one's hygiene incorporate that sneezes are an automatic reflex therefore, once you begin to sneeze, you will not be able to end it. In addition on the subject of sneezing, covering fingers to cover some sort of sneeze as well as cough probably is not a very important thing to do considering the facts showcasing above regarding the hands and touch becoming the main reason behind the spread of disease.
With a human nose creating one to two pints of nasal mucus a day and a single sneezing producing practically millions of microbes, it is no wonder that tiny droplets of humidity from the nose can be propelled over 35 feet. Particularly when you consider the standard speed of an sneeze can be somewhere between eighty and one hundred miles each hour.
The truth is often the swine winter flu pandemic has highlighted health and so many nurseries plus schools is much better set up to deal with disease and the spread of germs than ever before.
If you work in a nursery or pre classes you will certainly already be alert to many of these health facts more significant teaching young children on a daily basis the significance of washing their hands in the correct way. Nothing is critical than the protection and well being of our youngsters and nurseries are doing all of the can to ensure they are safe at all times. Through buying the right nursery insurance to performing risk examination to educating parents, nurseries do a great job that are building our nurseries safer than previously.

Husband, wife behind 'Bible' miniseries
Published: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 1:55 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 1:55 p.m.
New York
What: "The Bible," a television miniseries.
When: 8 p.m. Sundays through Easter Sunday.
TV: The History Channel, Cox Channel 47.
Information: Visit www.history.com.
Mark Burnett was taken aback by the scale of what his wife, actress Roma Downey, had in mind when she suggested over tea one morning four years ago that they make a television miniseries based on the Bible.
"Momentarily, I think he thought I'd lost my mind," Downey recalled. "He went out on his bicycle and he prayed on it and he came back and said, 'You know what, I think it's a good idea. I think we should do it together.' We shook hands and haven't looked back."
The series debuted on History Sunday at 8 p.m., the first of five two-hour chunks that will air each weekend. The finale airs on Easter Sunday.
Different stories in the Bible have been Hollywood fodder for years. Burnett, the prolific producer behind "Survivor" and "The Voice," said no one had tried to tie it all together and use modern computer graphics to bring images like Moses parting the Red Sea to life on screen.
Burnett said he believes there's a growing "Biblical illiteracy" among young people.
"It's like saying you never heard of Macbeth or King Lear," he said. "In school, you have to know a certain amount of Shakespeare, but no Bible. So there's got to be a way to look at it from a pure literature point of view. If it wasn't for the Bible, arguably Shakespeare wouldn't have written those stories."
Downey, the former star of "Touched By an Angel," said she wanted to be part of something that would glorify God.
After pitching their idea to several networks, Burnett and Downey found a fit with Nancy Dubuc, History's president and general manager. She likes the challenge of ideas that seem unwieldy.
History made the 2010 miniseries "America the Story of Us," which was a big hit, and 2012's "Mankind the Story of All of Us," which wasn't. Last spring's miniseries on the Hatfields and McCoys was an eye-opening success.
Burnett and Downey have been building anticipation for "The Bible" by previewing it at churches and for religious leaders. Rick Warren, Joel Osteen and Cardinal Donald Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, have all endorsed the work.
"The faith community is going to sample it, unquestionably," Dubuc said.
"Whether they stay or go remains with the TV gods. Our job has been to present this as an epic tale of adventure."
History's own campaign is not targeting a religious audience, emphasizing some of the dramatic scenes to suggest that audiences won't be preached to. The screening that Downey and Burnett have sweated the most was when their teenage children showed it to some friends.
"We knew that we could make it heartfelt," Downey said. "We knew we could make it faithful. But we wanted to be sure that we could make it cool."
Except for Downey, few of the actors involved are well known in the United States. Portuguese TV star Diogo Morgado portrays Jesus Christ, and many of the other lead actors are based in Britain.
The television airing of "The Bible" on History is only the beginning for this project. Lifetime will air a repeat each week after a new episode appears on History. It will air internationally, and a DVD package will go on sale this spring.

Saturday fire destroys Fenwick home and garage
FENWICK — A fire that started in a nearby garage completely destroyed the uninsured home and three-story garage of Tohm Tyler at 10275 S. Cedar Lake Road in Fenwick on Saturday afternoon.
According to Sheridan Community Fire Department Fire Chief Doug Lane, the house and garage fires were fully involved by the time firefighters arrived on the scene, around 2:59 p.m.
"(Tyler) lives right on a lake, so water wasn't a problem," Lane said. "It's just that the fire had such a big start time and our response time is affected because his property is on the outer edge of our coverage area."
To mitigate the distance problem, Lane contacted the Ronald Township Fire Department, which is much closer to Tyler's property, before leaving the station. Firefighters from Ronald Township arrived first on the scene and were already engaging the fire when Sheridan firefighters showed up.
"We worked on the fire for about four hours before we got everything back in place," Lane said.
Lost in the fire was a portable sawmill, several vehicles, many tools and the entire comments of Tyler's home. According to Lane, most of the structures and their contents were a total loss, however he thinks the sawmill might still be usable after repairs. Also, a lot of equipment located on the north side of the garage was saved.
The Sheridan Community Fire Department was also assisted at the scene by the Crystal Township Fire Department, Carson City Fire Department, the Michigan State Police and Montcalm County Emergency Medical Services.
"Everyone did a great job," Lane said. "But the EMS people did excellent work making sure the firefighters were OK. They checked blood pressure of the firefighters and made sure they weren't getting overheated."
Tyler, who has been unemployed for more than two years, had no insurance on the home, contents or vehicles. Lane contacted the Red Cross to help assist Tyler with temporary living conditions and other necessities.

A drug addict who admitted 78 burglaries but was spared a prison term carried out a break-in just hours later.
William Coe, 24, wrote to Judge Jonathan Black pleading for "one last chance to live crime-free".
He walked away with a two-year community order but began a four-week crime spree and stole from another 33 homes.
He appeared before the same judge at Basildon crown court in Essex and was sentenced to six years' jail.
When Coe, of Basildon, was sentenced in February the court heard he had not committed a crime since being bailed in December.
Judge Black gave him a chance after the cocaine addict said: "I am sorry for the pain I have caused. I will make the effort to change my ways."
One victim, a young mum whose disabled daughter's Xbox was stolen by Coe, said: "I don't understand why he got a second chance."

Dance: A Discourse Mode
This paper aims at clarifying the struggle for the placement of dance in the realm of academia primarily focusing on whether it is possible to view dance as a means of communication which is similar to language discourse. Building on the works of prominent people in the field of linguistics and communication (Barton, 2000; Gee, 1999; Kress, 2001, 2000; and Street, 1994) and also the works of prominent dance academicians (Susan Foster, 1986; Amy Koritz, 1996; Susan Manning, 1996; and Cynthia Novak, 1990) this paper's main focus is to highlight the issues of multimodality and the place dance has in this realm. Specifically the paper focuses on the similarities between the structure of dance (choreography) and discourse analysis. One piece of data was used for this paper: a dance titled The Beginning of Rebirth danced to a recitation of the poem Joy and Sorrow by Gibran Khalil Gibran. The analysis was done through the application of the Discourse Analysis Theory and Method by James Paul Gee (1999). By showing the similarities in development of a dance and the tasks of language this paper helps to illuminate the issue of multimodality and the placement of dance along the continuum of communication.

What goes in, sometimes comes right back out again! Most babies have some degree of reflux; here's why, and what you can do to help.
When it comes to babies, most parents soon find that what goes in... sometimes comes straight back out again. The real mystery lies in figuring out what sort of up-chuck you're dealing with.
Regurgitation or posseting is very common and happens on a daily basis for about 50% of babies. This is the classic baby spit-up: usually shortly after a feed (and if you're really unlucky, right down the back of your clean t-shirt).
Doctors sometimes refer to this as gastro-esophageal reflux (GOR), and it happens because the muscular ring at the bottom of your baby's food pipe (esophagus) is not yet fully developed. This allows the contents of the stomach to flow back into the food pipe when the stomach is full – which sometimes means a bit of a mess for Mum and Dad. However, it's not usually a big problem for babies, and most will grow out of it by the time they turn 1.
In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to help soothe your baby's reflux:
- Try offering smaller, more frequent feeds so that your baby's tummy is not as full.
- Keep your baby in an upright position for about 20 minutes following a feed.
- Raise the head of the mattress slightly in your baby's cot (putting a book under the mattress is one way to do this).
- Wind your baby frequently, both between and after feeds.
- Try loosening the tabs on your baby's nappy a bit, so that they put less pressure on a tummy that's full of milk.
However, if your baby is having trouble gaining weight, seems irritable and unhappy after a feed, coughs and wheezes a lot, or is struggling with feeding, it's worth speaking to your GP or paediatrician. It may mean your baby has gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GORD), a more severe form of reflux, and in this case your GP may recommend treating the problem with medication. Some of the available treatments include:
- Medications that thicken the stomach contents, making it harder for milk to come back up the esophagus (i.e. Infant Gaviscon)
- Medicines that reduce the acidity of the stomach contents (i.e. ranitidine and omeprazole) and those that help the stomach empty more quickly (i.e. domperidone)
- Specialised formula milks – known as pre-thickened or anti-regurgitation (AR) feeds
- If your doctor thinks your baby's GORD may be associated with Cow's Milk Protein Allergy, you might be prescribed a hydrolysed formula milk (where the protein in the milk has been broken down). If you are breastfeeding, your doctor might ask you to try excluding cow's milk from your diet for a while (and take a calcium supplement).
- In very severe cases of GORD where medical treatment is ineffective, your doctor might recommend anti-reflux surgery, but this is rare.
If your baby has reflux, it's worth paying special attention when it comes time for weaning (it won't be long, trust us!). Some babies with reflux have a harder time moving on from pureed foods to lumpier textures and finger foods. If this does happen, it's worth getting advice from your GP or health visitor to help your baby adapt to eating foods with more texture.

Full frame window replacement worth it?
My house was built in 1999 (Northeast Nebraska) with some commodity vinyl windows that I think were "budget" grade. They may have been okay at the time, but probably nothing more than that. They are trimmed with a drywall return, vinyl siding.
I'm looking at replacing them with fiberglass windows (4 double-hung, and 3 sliders/gliders). I'm looking at $1,167/window installed, or about $1,600/window installed for full-frame installation, which is about 37% more for the full-frame install.
I can afford to have the full-frame installation done, but would the benefit be worth the cost? I imagine there's room for improving the insulation around the window. It's also important to me that the installation looks like a natural part of the house and not a "retrofit". It also seems like that would be a chance to square things up if needed, and replace any flashing/caulk or other sealant between the window and the house to keep the rain out. I also think a more traditional trim would look better than the drywall return. I'm thinking that taking things down to the frame will present an opportunity to make sure things are done right from the frame out, which should reduce the possibility for future problems.
Is my understanding of the benefits correct? Is a full-frame replacement the way to go, or is it overrated? The installation has a ten-year warranty, on top of the lifetime/20 year warranty of the windows.
Thank you in advance for your input.
Never going to see a pay back on that investment.
That price is about double what it would cost around here.
I'd just retrim them and make sure there sealed up inside and out.
Might want to remove a piece of siding to see if they used window tape around the nailing fins.
What window are you looking at?
Pella Impervia
If your going to do this get more quotes from a local GC or local contractor.
Do not bother with any of the box stores, or high over head window company's.
Pella would be one of the last ones I'd want installed.
Send me a PM and I' give you a web site to look at that has thousands of complaints against them.

I prefer the Marvin fiberglass lines, or something higher performance like Inline. You could also consider premium vinyl unless you are against it for appearance purposes.
Regarding the installation, if your existing windows are vinyl you have no choice but to do a full frame install, as you cannot put a new window in an existing vinyl frame. I'd ask the sales rep to give you a breakdown of what you are getting for each of those prices in terms of installation. I suspect the lower price is an "express" install, where they just buzz off the fin of the existing unit, and install the new one sans fin. I prefer a more comprehensive installation in cases like this, as most new construction installations that I see from the past 20 yrs or so are leakers and need to be addressed... See the pic.
Either way, you'd be well served to get another bid or two.
I also looked at the Marvin Infinity line. I like the windows and the company, I just got an uneasy feeling from their sales personnel. If I went with them, I feel like I'd have to be especially meticulous about getting everything in writing. The guy who came to my house said the installation warranty is 5 years, but when I stopped in to their store another sales guy told me 3 years. Things like that. It makes me wonder a little how good of a job they do hiring installers/contractors if they only do a passable job of hiring salespeople. I had Marvin quote their Infinity windows with full frame installation, and it was considerably less than anyone else I had bid it. It sounded a little too good to be true.
I also had a highly recommended local contractor give me a quote. He installs only Ply Gem Lifestyle windows. His was the lowest bid of all, but he doesn't want to do a full frame installation due to the existing windows having a drywall return. I'm not sure why that should matter (I'm also not a contractor), but his method of replacement was to cut the existing windows from the nailing fin, install the windows flashing/sealing/insulating (etc) where possible, new brick moulding on the outside, and using quarter round to trim inside where the frame meets the drywall wall. Better than an insert installation...I think...but he made it sound like a lot of trouble for something that isn't a true full-frame installation. I also don't like the idea of using quarter round to hide the seam of a less-than-desired installation method, plus his windows/installation would result in a larger loss of visible glass surface than I'm willing to accept.
I had Renewal by Andersen give me a quote, and it was what I've been led to believe it would be based on everything I've read. A sales pitch better suited for a time share, a presentation that focused on deriding non Fibrex windows at least as much as he focused on the merits of his own product. Plus the what-would-it-take-you-to-sign-up-today approach. The RaB seemed like a really good window, but their bid was 40% higher than the next closest bid, and nothing about them convinced me they were 40% better.
Pella's pricing was only slightly higher than Marvin until the full-frame installation was factored in. In fact, every bid I got that included a full-frame installation was a disproportionately bigger up-charge than Marvin's full-frame increase. What has me leaning towards Pella is that the people there have seemed solid all around. The sales guy I'm working with knows the product and seems to understand the intricacies of the installation, and is willing to respond to every question or clarification in writing, etc. There's an element of peace of mind that I get from them, which counts for a decent bit for something I want to be done right the first time.
With each contractor, I've checked for local BBB accreditation/grades and on Angie's List, and all of them rate very highly with lots of reviews and very few complaints with the most common complaint being cost. In terms of brands and models, I've looked at Consumer Reports (with a grain of salt) plus in any corner of the internet I can find. Lots of passionate, religious debates about window brands, and occasionally some objectivity.
What I gather is that the 37% upcharge for the Pella full-frame installation is atypically high, and something I won't recoup over the life of the windows (or at least for as long as I plan be in this house). I need to decide if the other benefits of that installation method are worth it to me.
That is a lot to address... here we go:
- Like I mentioned earlier, there is no way to do an "INSERT" install in your application. The PlyGem guy is probably talking about downsizing the window to sit inside the drywall return, essentially shrinking the window as you said. I am NOT an advocate for that type of install.
- On Marvin, the Infinity is their "private label exclusive" product geared to sophisticated sales operations, hence the experience that you've had. Nice window, but you can also look at the wood/ultrex Integrity. You should have better luck finding a dealer/contractor that fits the profile that you are looking for.
-RBA: sounds consistent with most feedback I hear. Solid window, nothing special other than that it is pretty attractive. 10 yr warranty is a downer.
-Regarding the installation upcharge being something that you won't recoup: I have to take issue with that. Will one install method recoup $$$ in terms of energy savings? NO. Could it be CATASTROPHIC to get a poor install: Absolutely! I see a few jobs every year where the only way to fix air and/or water leakage issues is to completely reinstall the window(s).
-On objectivity, my best recommendation is to forget all of the sales fluff and slanted review publications, and look at the independently tested thermal and structural performance ratings of each product. Great barometer for quality, particularly when looking at vinyl windows. In that regard, the Plygem lifestyles is OK, but I'd list Okna Himark, Softlite, Sunrise, and a few others as the cream of the crop of vinyl windows. Look at U-values, solar heat gain, and air infiltration ratings.

Please Note - Professional installation of this product recommended - only fits devices with standard batteries.
Once fitted you can drive legally with your phone clipped in place, the high-quality secure tilt-swivel mechanism allowing you to minimally adjust the viewing angle until you find the sweet spot that suits your driving style.
Each holder has a soft felt interior to avoid any scratches to your phone, with grooves cut exactly to its shape and securely hold it in place.
Active holders charge the phone. They will have a connector to line up with your phone's charging port and a hard wired power cable.

Question on Boxwoods
I have a question concerning Boxwood hedges. I recently purchased a house that has about 15 boxwoods that are very overgrown and now look like a wall of shrubs.
If I were to cut them back severly, would they come back? I've heard that boxwoods can't take a lot of pruning. Or would it be better to just uproot the whole lot and start over with a different kind of shrub? And if so, any suggestions on a fast growing shrub that does well in SC?
Thanks! :confused1:
How overgrown are they,3',4', larger? Boxwoods can handle a fair amount of pruning, but they are an evergreen. If you hack them back too much they'll just die out. I'd say if they are extremely overgrown and aesthetically out of place in front of the home, it might be a good idea to either get rid of them or possibly move them to another location. They do move pretty easily because of their fibrous root system which is also very shallow. As far as a fast growing shrub is concerned, do you want another evergreen or a flowering shrub? How big do you want it to grow and what kind of exposure do you have, N,S,E,orW?
1 Attachment(s)
Thank you for the information!
They are about 4' high right now and are so intertwined you can not even differentiate between one bush to the other.
I would really like to use 2 different kinds to change it up a bit. I live in SC, very hot and humid during the summer months.
The sun comes from the south at the back of my house, but the front gets direct sunlight the majority of the day, just not early morning sun.
I'm going to try and send a pic so you can see what I'm talking about.
Again, thanks so much!
Attachment 1965
Yea, I would say time for those to go! I'd take them out and start over. Are you looking for low maintenance stuff or do you like to work outside on a regular basis? You confused me a little on the exposure, so the front faces maybe northwest?
Pretty ugly, huh?? I love to work outside, but have little time, so low maintenance would be better for me. I planted some India Hawthornes last fall beside my front door and they seem to be doing well, but I wanted something different in the front part of the garage where the boxwood monsters are now.
Yes, the front faces NW, sorry I'm horrible at knowing what direction is what. Didn't mean to confuse you!

Over 15 players filed for free agency from the Buffalo roster in early November, despite some of contributed to the major league club ( Feliciano, Hessman) and other contributing to a successful year in Buffalo ( Mike Cervenak, Jonathan Malo) the Mets have been slow to turn their attention towards Buffalo.
The one player they quickly resigned was Mike O'Connor, the 30 y/o left handed spent the entire season in Buffalo despite posting solid numbers and having prior major league experience. For the Bison's he appeared in 51 games ( 71 innings) posting a 2.67 ERA and recording six saves.
In winter ball he's made 18 relief appearances in which he's posted a 1.38 ERA and held batters to a BA of .212, 17 SO in 13 innings to only 4 walks. His spilts are against him but I believe that's only due to a small sample pool as he's only faced 4.2 innings of lefties and given up a run.


text: DETROIT, March 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF) will engage Friday with NBC News correspondents, the region's top thought leaders and education and community stakeholders in discussions around improving educational opportunities and outcomes for children at NBC News' Education Nation – Detroit. The Detroit Summit is part of Education Nation's national road tour, and will begin on Friday, March 22, at 9 a.m. at the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History. A portion of the programming will be aired on NBC News' Detroit affiliate, WDIV Local 4, and the entire program will be live-streamed on educationnation.com. WKKF President and CEO Sterling K. Speirn will participate in the opening ceremony and will highlight some of the innovative work, including that of WKKF grantees, happening in Detroit and across the state. The grantmaking foundation, created in 1930 by breakfast cereal pioneer W.K. Kellogg, is based in Battle Creek, Mich. and has had a historical and ongoing commitment to Michigan's children. In Michigan, WKKF invests more than $100 million each year in its priority places of Battle Creek, Detroit and Grand Rapids, as well as in the work of organizations throughout the state. "Events such as Education Nation – Detroit provide an opportunity for us to engage directly with local leaders and community-based organizations and give voice to the most promising solutions for ending generational poverty and eliminating barriers for vulnerable children to succeed," said Speirn. "Children who have access to high quality early care and education are much more likely to be successful in school and in life, and are more likely to contribute to their communities as adults. It's a matter of making the right investments, at scale, for the future." Carla Thompson, the Kellogg Foundation's vice president for program strategy who oversees the foundation's grant investments in education and learning, will also share her insights at the Summit. Thompson will introduce the first panel on early childhood education, a topic at the heart of the foundation's focus on partnering with communities to create conditions for vulnerable children to thrive. "Finding innovative solutions to the educational and economic challenges we face requires us to share knowledge and develop ongoing, meaningful partnerships across sectors," said Thompson. "Education Nation is our opportunity to continue that dialogue and confront our community's toughest issues, including the need for high quality early education that can carry students into a 21st century career and beyond." NBC News' Special Correspondent Chelsea Clinton, Chief Education Correspondent Rehema Ellis, and WDIV Anchor Rhonda Walker will moderate the panels on Friday. Other panel topics include school choice, the knowledge and skills required for the 21st Century workforce and preparing the future workforce to compete in a global economy.

Hearing her son James diagnosed with classical autism when he was about 2 years old changed Angie Watterson's life.
"It started six months of me trying to get him on every waiting list I could get him on for therapy," the Tooele County mother said. "Our insurance wouldn't cover anything."
Her family drained savings to pay for about nine months of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) therapy, then ran out of money and had to quit.
"Trying to get him into an affordable therapy program, especially one that didn't have a year waiting list, was next to impossible," she said.

Anschutz Medical Campus13001 E 17th PlaceAurora, Colorado
Denver Campus1250 14th StreetDenver, Colorado
Dr. John Farrington, CU Anschutz and Boulder community leader, graduated from the CU School of Medicine in 1952. After medical school, he completed a fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic, and later returned to CU, serving as an Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine from 1956-1987.
Through the years Farrington has seen the face of medicine change, from polio vaccinations through the advent of the MRI and modern testing methods. Farrington brought the first ventilator to the Boulder Community Hospital, where he taught his fellow doctors and nurses about respiratory care. He has consistently helped shape the landscape of his profession by creating the Colorado Society of Internal Medicine, and serving as the President of the American Society of Internal Medicine.
Now in his retirement, Farrington finds himself more busy than ever. He volunteers doing carpentry work the First Presbyterian Church of Boulder, and continues to work on the model train set in his basement—a work in progress of over 40 years.
Farrington also stays strongly connected to the CU family by playing a vital role in the Anschutz and Boulder Alumni Associations. He is currently serving as President of the School of Medicine Alumni Association, and is a past President of the CU Boulder Directors Club. An active member of the alumni associations since the early 1960s, Farrington continues to further the vision of the university, leading by example. Dr. Farrington, along with other key classmates, established the Class of 1952 Scholarship Endowment, helping fund medical student's education.
Farrington's list of accomplishments is long and remarkable. In 1982 Farrington received the Silver and Gold Award for excellence in humanitarianism. He was the recipient of the President George Norlin Award in 2001. This year he was honored with the Regent's University Medal for Distinguished Service award. Dean Krugman spoke fondly of Dr. Farrington, saying that, "he continues to work diligently to create a culture of giving among CU Medicine graduates and students." Through Farrington's service to others and dedicated leadership, he has set an example for which we can all strive to reach.

Stripped Malls
"The ugly sales year that was 2008 will haunt U.S. retailers in 2009, with industry experts warning that disastrous holiday sales will spark a domino effect of store closures and bankruptcy filings. And, with thousands of fewer stores, the 'shop-'til-you-drop' mentality that has characterized American consumerism could be coming to an end.
This spending slump, which started in early 2008, has already claimed a number of retail casualties. Prominent national chains such as Linens 'n Things, Steve & Barry's, KB Toys, Whitehall Jewelers and Shoe Pavilion have gone out of business. Still others such as No. 2 electronics seller Circuit City are barely surviving, hoping to find a lifeline while in bankruptcy protection.
But after suffering one of the worst year-end shopping seasons in decades - November and December combined can account for half of merchants' annual profits and sales - experts predict that many more chains will disappear.
The International Council of Shopping Centers estimates that chain store closings could exceed 3,100 in just the first half of the year."

Politico Changes Headline After Protest From Obama Campaign
Unless you were paying very close attention you likely missed the change in a recent Politico headline from "Obama support soft among Catholics" to "Obama slow to gain among Catholics".
The change itself may seem innocent enough until you learn that it was done in response to the furiously angry efforts by the Obama campaign to change the perception of Politico readers in advance of yesterday's primaries in Catholic rich Ohio and Texas.
At 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Politico's story about Barack Obama's problems winning Catholic voters went live.
Within minutes, editor Charlie Mahtesian's phone started ringing.
The heated interaction between Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign and Politico's national political editor Saturday afternoon and evening was in many ways routine. But it was also a window into aspects of the political process outsiders do not usually see or understand.
The exchanges show the speed and ferocity with which operatives inside presidential campaigns argue even the slightest nuances of stories they believe could be damaging. They also show the hectic, on-the-fly judgments that journalists make as they try to abide by standards of fairness while pushing back against dubious spin.
Among a volley of staff members and surrogates for Obama's campaign to call Mahtesian, the most combative was deputy communications director Dan Pfeiffer.
Mahtesian, who has written about national politics for nearly two decades, said Sunday he was taken aback by Pfeiffer's bellicose tone.
"Who are you? I've never heard of you. What's your background?" Pfeiffer demanded to know, Mahtesian recalled. (T.T. - all emphasis mine)
While it may not be uncommon for campaigns to call news outlets to get their message out I find it a bit concerning that the Politico capitulated to the demands of the Obama campaign in adjusting the message. They essentially allowed the Obama campaign editorial reign, albeit minor, over their political commentary. Not only did the editors of The Politico change the headline without reference they actually added a quote near the top by a former Democratic Congressman who is campaigning on Obama's behalf to attract Catholic voters.
Former Indiana Congressman Tim Roemer, who has campaigned for Obama among Catholic voters in Ohio, says he sees no indications that Obama is struggling among Catholics.
"The more Catholics see him and learn his positions on social justice and dignity of life issues, the more they like him," said Roemer.
I see no reason to add this quote. The article already included the same substance in a statement from Joshua DuBois who is the Obama campaign's national director of religious affairs. The addition of Roemer's comments is essentially a placed message to Catholic Democrats and Independents that may be leaning toward Hillary.
It is sadly becoming commonplace for politicians and journalists to be browbeat into limiting what they can or can't say, write or even think about Barack Obama. Whether or not the topic is Mr. Obama's middle name, his ancestral Muslim heritage, his admitted drug usage, his stance on abortion or his record of accomplishment there is a coordinated effort to control all aspects of the conversation lest Americans do something so terrible as to decide for themselves.
The Politico took the commonly walked route, changed their headline, inserted an Obama campaign message and then excused the whole event by claiming that it was the result of a misunderstanding between the Obama campaign and Politico editor Charles Mahtesian.
In a second interview Sunday evening, he also disputed the direct quotes Mahtesian recalled him making. He said it was clear at the time that Mahtesian thought he was challenging his credentials. In fact, Pfeiffer said, he was merely trying to understand where he fit within Politico, since the campaign had not dealt with Mahtesian previously and his name was not on the story.
As it happened, Mahtesian was more open to changes in the story than Obama campaign aides initially assumed—even as he rejected the main thrust of the Obama team's complaints.
Operating first from his home and later by BlackBerry from a Washington Capitals hockey game, Mahtesian made changes to the original story.
Among the items agitating the Obama campaign was the initial headline: "Obama support soft among Catholics."
Mahtesian ordered it changed to "Obama slow to gain among Catholics."
No, the difference between those would not be obvious to me at first glance, either.
But the two headlines give a flavor of Saturday's tussle.
The Obama campaign was infuriated by any suggestion that the candidate was getting pummeled by Catholic voters.
I can't quite figure out what the misunderstanding between the two sides actually was. Nor can I gather what "on-the-fly" judgments John Harris is speaking about in his explanation. It sounds to me like a thin excuse for allowing the Obama camp an active role in editing one of their articles after it had already been released.
Harris seems to be putting partial blame on Mahtesian for taking exception to the tone of Obama's deputy communications director Dan Pfeiffer. When reading Mahtesian's account however it is clear that Pfeiffer was challenging his credentials as an editor in addition to taking him to task for having the temerity to allow his writers to interpret exit polling data without the help of the Obama campaign.
Among a volley of staff members and surrogates for Obama's campaign to call Mahtesian, the most combative was deputy communications director Dan Pfeiffer.
Mahtesian, who has written about national politics for nearly two decades, said Sunday he was taken aback by Pfeiffer's bellicose tone.
"Who are you? I've never heard of you. What's your background?" Pfeiffer demanded to know, Mahtesian recalled.
In an interview Sunday, Pfeiffer said he came on strong because he felt that reporter David Mark's story was flawed and because he believed—incorrectly, as he later acknowledged—that Politico was taking an inflexible position.
Just what exactly is an inflexible position? In the minds of the Obama party it apparently is one that refuses to acquiesce to their demands and tow the line of soft journalism; one that dare not speak about challenges being faced by the Obama campaign unless of course those challenges are stated in a manner acceptable to the campaign.
Here is a small example of that effort from a series of e-mail exchanges between the Obama campaign and the Politico editor Charles Mahtesian.
From: Jen Psaki
Sent: Sat 3/1/2008 8:20 PM
To: Charles Mahtesian
Subject: A few additional points
After reading your story here are a few additional points that we feel were overlooked and irresponsibly omitted from the story. I appreciate your efforts in changing the lead and I feel that specifically the points below deserve a look and a correction of the paragraph on the challenges in the general election and the fact that most political scientists don't feel there is actually a Catholic gap.
I appreciate your attention to this.
The emphasis in the above e-mail clip is mine. Note how disagreements with the Obama campaign are being framed as "irresponsible". This is the language of coercive pressure. Attack the messenger by attacking their credibility.
For his part Charles Mahtesian didn't exactly play along.
From: Charles Mahtesian
Sent: Sun 3/2/2008 3:39 AM
To: Jen Psaki
Subject: Politico
Thanks for your note. I can appreciate your strong position on this and want to assure you it is getting a respectful hearing. As you know, we have responded to some of your concerns by fixing the headline and also by providing an additional quote from Tim Roemer, whom I spoke to after our story had been filed and posted.
My general feeling is that the original headline, which I think you correctly flagged as unfair, has poisoned the campaign's view of this piece. Absent that headline, I don't think the reaction would have been so strong.
Mahtesian went on to make several points disputing the facts as presented by the Obama campaign. Two of them are important to me because they expose the fine line between campaign spin and fact. Keep in mind that Mahtesian presented a lengthy point by point e-mail response to the Obama camp's assertions and I am just highlighting two for brevity.
2) the fact that most political scientists don't feel there is actually a Catholic gap.
I don't believe that's a fact. I assume you are referring to the line in the Washington Post blog post by Father Reese here. If you can provide us with proof of his contention that, "Most scholars believe that once the number crunchers get a hold of the exit poll data and control for income, gender, age, education and issue concerns, the "Catholic factor" will disappear," then yes, I think our story should include it.
7) The Catholic vote was tabulated in 19 exit polls. We won, tied or nearly tied (within 3 points of winning) in 7 states. This is 36% of the vote. This is hardly "only a few exceptions" as stated in the article. The premise is false.
By our count, you won 4 states (Georgia; Missouri; Louisiana; Virginia), lost 14 and tied 1 (Wisconsin). We were not counting "nearly tied."
It appears that both the Obama campaign and The Politico overreacted. The biggest concern should be the appearance of a conflict of interest when changing the "tone" of an article as opposed to adding an update with a corrective note. Another minor concern is that the change was made without note in the original article. I expect that from blogs but not such a high stature outlet.
All of this is premised on the assertion that there was something to correct in the first place. In this case I find that assertion to be a bit of a stretch.

Who says you can't see an NFL game cheap?
posted at 2:46 pm on November 28, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
OK, OK, I have to admit using a flexible assumption in the headline. Does a Jets-Cardinals game count as professional football? If so, the Jets have a deal for you — in fact, about 7700 of them:
Who says that it costs an arm and a leg to attend an NFL game?
Well, it usually does, but that's not the case for this weekend's game at MetLife Stadium.
Gang Green, coming off an embarrassing defeat to the Patriots on Thanksgiving night, is hosting the lowly Cardinals on Sunday in their second-to-last home game of the season, barring an improbable run to the playoffs.
How much will it cost you,the fan, to attend this game?
As of Wednesday morning, tickets were selling for as low as $18 on StubHub, and 7,770 tickets were still available.
Call now to make sure you get your tickets! Or tomorrow. Or Friday. Or …
I kid, of course, but this is the free market at work. If you win games, you sell tickets. If not, well … you won't even clear for local broadcast. As a former LA Rams fan, I know exactly how that works.

Tune - Do I have one?
Hi All,
Been a lurker for a while and finally got myself a 2002 Focus SVT a couple of weeks ago. I want to get a tune but since there is very little history on this vehicle (the last owner said they didn't do it) how do I know if it already has an aftermarket tune. Having not really driven others (other than test drives) I have no way to know the performance and driving characteristic differences.
Thanks for the help. BTW, love this car. Its going to the track in the spring. :)
Weather it has a tune already or not is not the issue.
Just treat it as though it doesn't. You don't have the Xcal, so you can't datalog and send them to a tuner for updates. So even an old tune is useless.
Contact 1turbofocus and see what he can do for you far as prices.
When I bought my SVT I had a Steeda Tune, which was pretty bad...I realised it when Tom (1turbofocus) tuned my car remotely.
Can't get a better deal on earth for a tune imo...He'll make sure you're happy!
Thanks for the replies. I shall be contacting Tom shortly. :D
I'm in the same boat. I have no history on my car but I'm finding new mods on my car everyday. Wondering if I need to know exactly what the mods are before a tune. The flip side is should I just leave it alone as it runs really good.

Stubbsy Comes Out
Way to go, Rennae! :hearts:
PS Stubbsy, there actually is a national Coming Out Day - 11 October!
Stubbs travels with her girlfriend of two years, a former US professional softballer, having shared a long-term relationship with her former doubles partner, Lisa Raymond.
It has only been relatively recently that Stubbs has fully embraced her sexuality, and she hopes that by speaking openly, it will help teenagers who might be grappling with gay issues.
"I always say to my friends, 'Wouldn't it be great if everybody who was gay said they were? If we said: February 21, or whatever, this is the coming out day. So, if you are, you have to come out to everybody you know'. It would be phenomenal.
"And it would be nice if everybody could just accept that it's not a choice, this is who you are. You would never, ever choose this, choose to be gay. It's such a difficult thing to deal with and coming out to people and talking about it, and coming out to your family.
"But I don't hide who I am any more. Everyone in the tennis world pretty much knows who's gay and who's not; the only reason I would like it spoken about publicly more is that I wish everybody would realise that, 'See all those people you admire? Out of 10 of them, four are gay, and I just want you to know that your child can still idolise them'."
Stubbs was 25, which is "old, in the terms of", as she puts it, when she had her first lesbian encounter, but she had long wondered, and thought "maybe". Still, it was not until more than five years later that she felt comfortable enough to be open about her lifestyle.
"I was like, 'I have to get over this, this is not a phase, this is not something to be embarrassed about, this is who I am and I'm not going to deny who I am', and I think this is the point you get to in your life.
"I'd just like to be a little bit more open about it now because I want some 16-year-old girl out there to think, 'It's OK'. All it is is somebody loving somebody."
Rennae has her critics :) but her heart is in the right place. Good on her. Not sure if she has the profile in Australia to make big change but if her coming out helps someone then thats great.
Hope Lisa is OK with the article :confused: :eek:
they dont appear to be friends anymore so i doubt Lisa would be ok with this latest stupid move from rennae
Rennae did not "out" Lisa, but the reporter who wrote the Bulletin article did. Lisa knew the reporter was going to say Rennae and Lisa had been together and she did not ask the reporter not to include her name. She read it, and was ok with it. So I just want people to stop pointing the finger at Rennae.
Here's that article, written over 6 months ago, Lisa really doesn't have the right to complain
ITS ALL HERE!! Bulletin - Wimbledon
Don't think Rennae is that type to out someone anyway, she's says whats on her mind yes, but it's never personal or vindictive. She always has a reason for speaking out.
Congrats to Rennae and Corina on winning Sydney 2006
