text: "Georgia O'Keeffe: Santa Fe, Abiquiu, and the New Mexico Landscape" consists of two one‐week NEH Landmarks of American History and Culture Workshops held during summer 2012 for fifty community college teachers on the art of Georgia O'Keeffe in relation to the history, culture, and landscape of northern New Mexico, where the artist lived and worked for nearly fifty years. Lectures and site study take place in three key locations: Santa Fe, Taos, and Abiquiu. An iconic figure in American art, O'Keeffe is the first American woman to have a museum dedicated to her work. Barbara Buhler Lynes (O'Keeffe Museum and Research Center) places O'Keeffe's art within the context of American Modernism and focuses on her distinctive portrayal of the New Mexico landscape. Virginia Scharff (Center of the Southwest, University of New Mexico) introduces workshop participants to the history of New Mexico and discusses the contribution of women to the region. Joseph Traugott (New Mexico Museum of Art) places O'Keeffe in the larger context of Native American and Spanish art, as reflected in two exhibitions at the museum. Lois Rudnick (University of Massachusetts, Boston) discusses the complex issue of Anglo patronage of Hispanic and Native American art. Finally, Lesley Poling‐Kempes, author of books about Ghost Ranch and Abiquiu, discusses the historical and cultural significance of these places. Books by all of these scholars occupy a central place in the reading list. In addition to several museums that feature the art of O'Keeffe along with Mexican and Native American works, participants visit places where she lived and worked: her two homes, the Taos Pueblo, the Palace of the Governors, and the San Francisco de Asis Church.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho (R-District 3) has introduced legislation to prohibit military assistance in Syria. If passed, the bill would not allow the distribution of funds to aid opposition forces in Syria.
"Anyone who thinks that arming rebel opposition in Syria is a good idea should learn lessons from our past," Yoho said. "These same policies have created monsters in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other hot spots around the globe.

Box score
LEWISBURG, Pa. - Freshman Todd Heritage (Cheshire, Conn./Cheshire) scored with 2:40 remaining in double overtime, lifting the Bucknell men's lacrosse team to a heart-stopping 12-11 win over Navy Monday night at chilly Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Billy Eisenreich (Chatham, N.J./Chatham) led a huge night for the Bison midfield with two goals and five assists, including the pass that set up the winning goal, as Bucknell improved to 3-1 overall and 1-0 in the Patriot League.
This was the fifth straight one-goal game played between Bucknell and Navy, and the seventh in 11 all-time meetings. It didn't seem like much drama was in order when Chase Bailey (Fairfield, Conn./Fairfield Prep) scored with 1:15 remaining to give the Bison an 11-9 lead, but Mikk Davis rescued the Midshipmen with two goals in the final 18 seconds to force overtime.
The Bison received six goals and nine assists from its starting midfield. Eisenreich, whose previous career high was three points in a game, had seven in this one. Mike Danylyshyn (Fairport, NIn their previous 10 games with Navy dating back to 1996, the Bison had never scored more than eight goals against the Midshipmen. But in this one they had seven by halftime and nine by the time just 2:19 had elapsed in the third quarter.
It was a game of runs early, as Bucknell shook off an early Davis goal by scoring four in a row to go up 4-1. Ryan Klipstein (Califon, N.J./Rutgers Prep), who had a hat trick of his own in the game, tied it with a nice individual move in front of the crease, and then Eisenreich, Danylyshyn and Gantsoudes all scored in a span of just 77 seconds.
Navy then scored three in a row, capped by a Brian Striffler goal off a Jones feed, tying the game at 4-all early in the second quarter. Later in the half it was 5-5 when Klipstein scored two straight to put the Bison up 7-5 at intermission. Heritage scored his first of the night just 44 seconds into the second half, and then Eisenreich made it 9-5 when he scored off a nice feed from Danylyshyn.
Navy was not done, however, even though Danylyshyn had given Bucknell a 10-7 lead with a sweet juke to the left of the goal with 7:54 left in regulation. Warner scored with 3:47 left to make it 10-8, and then Warner fed Jones to make it 10-9 with 1:59 left.
Navy won the ensuing faceoff, but defenseman Mike Huffner (Elmira, N.Y./Notre Dame) forced a turnover, nabbed the ground ball near the sideline and then drew a penalty after being pushed from behind. Bucknell converted on the extra-man opportunity, with Eisenreich finding Bailey in front to make it 11-9 with 1:15 left.
Bucknell had been dominating the faceoff game earlier in the night, but Navy won numerous big ones down the stretch. After the Bailey goal, the faceoff scramble went out of bounds to Navy. The Bison made Navy chew considerable time off the clock, but the Mids finally got a shot off with 18 seconds left after Warner lobbed a pass to the weak side for Davis, who scored to make it 11-10.
The Bison were called for an infraction on the next faceoff, and while the Bucknell coaching staff was trying to get a timeout, the ball was put back in play. In a mad scramble to the finish, Hull passed back to Davis, who scored from about 10 yards out to tie the game.
Navy won the faceoff to start overtime and dominated possession throughout the four-minute period. The Bucknell defense came up with two stops, the latter on a nice save by Kyle Feeney (Greenwich, Conn./Greenwich) on Hull's 8-yard lefty attempt from the right side, but both times the Bison failed to clear.
The Midshipmen ran out of time before they could get a last shot off, but Logan West won another draw to start the second OT session. As Navy was trying to get its offense settled, an uncontested Davis sent a low pass skipping out of bounds.
Bucknell took advantage of Navy's 16th turnover of the night, scoring on its only offensive-zone possession in either overtime period. Eisenreich had the ball high on the left side and threaded a nice pass to a cutting Heritage. The freshman buried the five-yard shot, triggering a wild celebration atop a snow bank behind the goal.
Bucknell outshot Navy 38-24 and had a 34-26 edge in ground balls. Navy goalie RJ Wickham made 10 saves, three coming in the fourth quarter, while Feeney had seven stops for Bucknell.
Led by Jake Clarke (Cos Cob, Conn./Greenwich) and Ryan Gutowski (Owings Mills, Md./Calvert Hall), Bucknell won the first six faceoffs of the night and 10 of 14 in the first half. The Bison ended up winning 15 of 28 in the game. Clarke went 11-for-21 and secured a game-high 11 ground balls. Gutowski was 4-for-7.
Now 3-0 at home this season, the Bison defeated Navy for the fourth time in 11 all-time meetings.
Next up is a road game Saturday at Hobart at 1 p.m.o goals and three assists, and Nick Gantsoudes (Redding, Conn./Avon Old Farms) tallied two goals and one assist.
Tucker Hull registered four goals and two assists for Navy, which fell to 1-4 on the season and 0-2 in the Patriot League. The Mids, who lost at Lehigh last week, also got three goals from Davis, two goals and two assists from Sam Jones and a goal and four assists from Andy Warner.

Ajmany failed to make the anticipated progress last term but he is worth another shot in the Happy 10th Birthday Racing UK Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar.
Luca Cumani's charge looked set for a fruitful period after winning at Nottingham last July following a couple of decent efforts previously at Ascot and Doncaster.
Despite hanging across the track at Nottingham, he impressed in winning by upwards of three lengths and Cumani duly raised his sights to tackle a competitive heat at Goodwood, but he failed to make any sort of impact that day.
Another lacklustre effort at Kempton in September saw connections call time on the Kheleyf gelding's season and the handicapper relented a fair bit before his reappearance at Newmarket last month, dropping Ajmany back to a mark of 89.
He duly ran a cracker on his seasonal return, going down by just a neck in what appeared to be a warm heat to a decent type in Niceofyoutotellme.
Ajmany showed plenty of promise in that performance and while the handicapper has taken a dim view in jacking him back up by 6lb, the four-year-old may be more capable of defying that increased rating with the benefit of another winter under his belt.
Cumani likes to send some decent types for this race and with previous winners in the last few years including his pair of Danadana and Forte Dei Marmi, it could pay to keep on the right side of Ajmany.
Stampede took a hike up the weights following his recent Windsor success but he looks a typical improver for Sir Michael Stoute in the Market Cross Jewellers Handicap.
Last on his only juvenile start, Stampede made steady progress in two early season runs before finally blossoming when running out a one-and-a-quarter-length winner on his handicap bow earlier this month.
Upped in trip to 10 furlongs, the High Chaparral colt was hardly all out to see off New Colours, finding just enough for a cosy triumph which has resulted in a 7lb rise.
However, the style of his victory suggested Stampede had plenty still to come and any further rain would certainly be in his favour as he went well on soft ground that day.
Glebe Spirit is reported to have been showing up well on the gallops so it might pay to support him as he lines up in the Ladbrokes Handicap at Windsor.
He was certainly one of the lesser lights for the Hannon team as a juvenile last year and while his initial third at Kempton does not look all that good, there were plenty of positives to take.
While Glebe Spirit was beaten eight and a half lengths by Despot, he was one of the first off the bridle so he did well in clinging on for minor honours.
The Invincible Spirit colt is entitled to make plenty of progress from that effort and the fact he has dropped 1lb in the weights is only another positive.
Rewaaya is sure to be a popular choice in the Bet toteexacta Breeders Backing Racing EBF Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Leicester after her form got a massive boost last week.
Related to a black-type performer, Rewaaya completely missed the break on her debut at Ascot but made significant gains later in the race as she finished a four-and-three-quarter-length fourth behind Marsh Daisy, who has since gone on to win the Listed Height Of Fashion Stakes.
Rewaaya hung across the track that day and flashed her tail a bit so while she is totally straightforward, she clearly has ability and can reverse form with Ascot third Wonderstruck, who also lines up here.
Listed company proved beyond Top Dollar at the end of last year, but a drop in class for the EBF Stallions Download The ApolloBet App Fillies' Handicap can pay dividends as she returns at Carlisle.
She hit the mark at the second time of asking last year before a wide-margin victory at Wolverhampton prompted trainer James Tate to raise her sights for a one-mile Listed heat.
Top Dollar found that too big an ask but was not totally disgraced and her current mark of 82 still seems workable.
Ratify was in rare form at the end of last season and can pick up where he left off in the Bet toteswinger Handicap Chase at Cartmel.
He took a while to find his feet but appeared better than ever when rattling off a hat-trick at the age of 10 in March and April.
Ratify began his run off a mark of 102 and while he lines up here off 121, he should be nicely refreshed after a couple of weeks off and ready to put his rivals to the sword again.

Modern architecture has never been particularly welcome in Venice. Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Louis Kahn were all rebuffed in their efforts to add to the city's historic fabric. Only after heated controversy did a soaring contemporary bridge by Santiago Calatrava open last year over the Grand Canal.
But one latter-day architect, Carlo Scarpa, did manage to put a subtle imprint on the archipelago city—his native town. Scarpa's idiosyncratic approach veered outside the International Style of Modernism, the dominant mode during his lifetime, tapping sources as diverse as Wright, the Viennese Secession, and Japanese tradition. And in a career spanning five decades, until his death in 1978, Scarpa won a cult following among architects around the world.
He remains little known to the general public. But to tour his works today, almost all of them concentrated in Venice and the Veneto region, is to embark on a journey of aesthetic discovery. I've mapped the best route for taking in Scarpa's unparalleled museums and impeccably detailed spaces, starting in the heart of the old city and then driving to the nearby towns and countryside.
Day 1: Venice and Verona
Soon after arriving in town, I follow the crowds making a beeline for the Piazza San Marco. But I don't join them at the basilica or the Doge's Palace, instead heading for a far newer landmark: the showroom Scarpa created for the Olivetti company in 1957. Diagonally across from the celebrated cathedral, it's a jewel-like temple for secular objects. Scarpa transformed a long, narrow space underneath the arcade along the square's northern flank into a dazzling, intimately scaled showcase for the display of Olivetti typewriters that, by the middle of the last century, had become coveted icons of modern design. As Scarpa was a Venetian, water played a key role in almost all of his projects. At the Olivetti showroom I find a carved black marble pool in the entryway, as if to echo the fonts of holy water at the basilica. Ahead is a floating staircase of marble slabs suspended from bronze rods, leading to an upper level with balconies along one side. The floors are intricately patterned in colorful Murano glass tiles. The space was until recently a cramped commercial art gallery, but the superb craftsmanship and pure geometry of Scarpa's achievement shine through.
A five-minute walk from Piazza San Marco is Scarpa's most important project in Venice, the Fondazione Querini Stampalia, in the central Castello district, where the architect remodeled the ground floor and garden of a 16th-century palazzo that now houses an art museum and research library. Just outside, he created a delicate wooden footbridge across the narrow canal between the palazzo and its small piazza. It leads into a series of chambers on the palazzo's lower level, long prone to periodic flooding; Scarpa's solution was to leave a gateway open to the canal and add stone-lined channels that allow high waters to course through the building without covering the floors.
Scarpa lined an adjacent exhibition hall with travertine slabs, inserting backlit panels of frosted glass edged in brass as vertical accents. Water is an equally important element in the rear garden, where it flows from a pond scattered with water lilies at one end through a series of hollows, emerging from a spout that pours into a basin.
This tranquil spot feels miraculously far removed from the city's tourist throngs. But I'm not surprised to see other visitors inspecting the details. One of them, Juan Rivera, is a Washington, D.C., real estate developer who trained as an architect and came to Venice specifically to experience Scarpa's buildings. "So much comes at you in Venice that's political or religious," Rivera says. "Scarpa doesn't do any of that. He's simply saying, 'Look at this—it's beautiful.'"
With several of Scarpa's most significant designs waiting for me on the mainland, I head by vaporetto for the Piazzale Roma to pick up a rental car, passing under Calatrava's glass-and-steel bridge on my way. Any clash between modernity and Venice's deep-rooted tradition fades as I hurtle in my compact, fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz B 180 across the causeway that links the islands with terra firma, driving then for a while along the Brenta River before taking the autostrada directly into Verona, arriving less than two hours later. Scarpa's Museo di Castelvecchio is easy to find—it's in a hulking 14th-century fortress along the Adige River—and after checking into the Hotel Colomba d'Oro, in the city center, and lunching on veal cutlets at the Trattoria I Masenini, I head over to explore.
At the Castelvecchio I reencounter Scarpa's emphasis on texture and juxtaposition. From 1958 to 1964 he reworked the museum, which displays medieval and Romanesque art and ancient weaponry, to make its history come alive by revealing the layers of the past. He inserted modern windows behind the Gothic arches and laid new carved stone and grooved concrete floors that resemble plush carpets. The interiors have a spare elegance that renders this one of Europe's most sublime museum buildings.
Day: 2 On to Asolo
The next morning, I drive about two hours northeast along the autostrada and then on smaller roads through a bucolic landscape to Asolo, the picturesque hill town where Scarpa lived from 1962 to 1972. Asolo proves an ideal base for exploring two more Scarpa designs as well as villas drawn up by that most famous architect of the Veneto region, Andrea Palladio.
Entering Possagno, I make my way to sculptor Antonio Canova's former home and the adjacent museum, partially designed by Scarpa, known as the Gipsoteca. The building provides an airy exhibition hall of white planes and glass, which harmonizes with Canova's white casts. As he did at the Olivetti showroom, Scarpa made the best of a narrow plot, designing a cascade of levels that descends toward the cast of Canova's masterpiece The Three Graces, poised in front of a glass wall with a sparkling pool outside.
Day 3: Tomba Brion
All this painstaking attention to detail reaches its pinnacle at Scarpa's most elaborate creation, the Tomba Brion. A short drive south of Asolo, at the end of an allée of cypress trees in the village of San Vito d'Altivole, Scarpa drew up a private necropolis on an L-shaped site around the edges of the municipal cemetery. Massive, sloped concrete walls screen out sound and the sight of cornfields and houses beyond. A cubic chapel seems to float in a pool of water at the entrance. The architecture is vaguely reminiscent of Mayan ruins or Japanese temples, but mysteriously reinterpreted in a way that makes the visitor feel altogether transported into some ethereal realm where a serene beauty has banished all other elements.
In a fitting epitaph to my Veneto pilgrimage, I find Scarpa's grave near a corner of the L shape, inside the public cemetery. It's a simple marble slab inset with brass lettering and lines that radiate outward, as if beckoning a new generation to follow his example.

TCU's Andy Dalton Added to Manning Award Watch List
Wednesday, July 28, 2010
Andy Dalton (official bio) from TCU becomes the 16th player named to the preseason Watch List for the Manning Quarterback Award. Dalton led the Horned Frogs to one of their greatest seasons since the programs heydays of Davey O'Brien and Sammy Baugh in the 1930s - TCU rolled to a perfect regular season and advanced to the Fiesta Bowl, its first-ever BCS bowl appearance. The Manning Award, sponsored by the Allstate Sugar Bowl, is releasing the Watch List one player per day through its official Facebook and Twitter pages. The award has honored the top quarterback in the nation for the past six years.
A finalist for the Manning Award last year after throwing for over 2,700 yards with 23 touchdowns, Dalton was the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year and received All-America honors from SI.com and CollegeFootballNews.com. Dalton's 12 wins as the team's starting quarterback lift him to 29 career victories, tying Slingin' Sammy Baugh (1934-36) for the most victories by a starting quarterback in TCU history. He closed the season second in TCU history and third among active quarterbacks in the NCAA with a 2.4 interception percentage (24 picks in 1,001 career pass attempts), and set a TCU single-season record for passing yards with 2,756, enabling him to become the Horned Frogs' all-time leader with 7,457. Dalton had a career-high 61.6 completion percentage and 23 touchdown passes on the year, both numbers ranked second for a single season at TCU, while rushing for a career-best 512 yards. He moved into second place on TCU's career chart for completions (603), touchdowns (44) and completion percentage (60.2). TCU will face Oregon State in the 2010 season opener on Sept. 4 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

My boy has LESS INTEREST to toys.. Is it normal?
Hello All Mummies!
I noticed that my 15mos. old son is not that interested to all the toys I bought for him.... like toy cars, robots, balls (for basketball) and etc. He only played it once or twice but after that, he don't want to play it anymore. But he loves to play anything that is inside our house like things in the kitchen, our chairs, things in the laundry area and those dvd's that he usually watch like baby-einstein, nursery rhymes and etc... Can I ask for any suggestions or advise why my son has no interest in some toys? Is there something wrong or is it normal? Thank you so much in advance
20th April 2012 02:22 AM #2
Hi Ays,
Often what I find with my toddler, and my friends toddlers, is that they love to make toys out of household objects. My son would much rather investigate a chair or a door or some pans from the kitchen rather than playing with his 'toys'. At this age, children want to explore the world and touch everything new and find out how it works. If your son has this attitude (and seems generally happy) then I would not be concerned that he prefers to play with other objects than the toys you bought him.
My son also really enjoys being read to. How about your little boy? He loves turning the pages and pointing out the characters. At the moment, his favourite book is 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. Developmental experts recommend parents enjoy reading at least two books a day with their children. For us, this is often the best part of every day.
Best wishes,

Hi LJ,
I'm glad to know that my son's action is just normal,,,, thank you so much for letting me know that your kids loves to play some household things as well
I am also trying to read him some book, those with animal pictures or colorful places,, but he just always grabbed the book and he's the one who's going to turn every single page.... That's why most of the time, I just let him watch his educational dvd's - about ABC, shapes, numbers etc,,, and he really love watching it. He's really serious the way he looked at the tv
Thanks again LJ to your response regarding my concern...

As LJ said, this sounds pretty normal to me. I am on baby 4 and at this age all of mine were more interested in their environment then there toys. It is not bad to buy toys, they are great for stimulation, but babies do not always take interest in them right away.

Laura Jane had some very good insight that I wholeheartedly agree with. I had a nephew who, at a very young age (before he was 2) would get pots and pans out of the cabinet. He was fascinated with the lids, and he would actually get all the lids spinning at one time. It was amazing to watch.
As long as the items don't have sharp edges and can't hurt your child, I'd encourage them to explore and learn from every day items around the house. It's much less expensive than investing in toys, and, as you've found, toys often don't keep a child's interest for very long.
One other suggestion I'd like to make is that as your child grows (and your supply of toys grows because your son will receive gifts from others) one of the best ways to keep the toys interesting is to rotate them. If you find that your child is no longer playing much with certain toys, put them away for a few months. If you get them back out a few months later, they will be like "new" to him again. You can rotate toys all the time, and it becomes easier to do as your toy collection grows. Also keeps clutter down because most toys will be stored until you're ready to rotate them in.
Keep up the reading, and educational videos are a super choice over cartoons or other TV programs. We didn't allow our children to watch any cartoons and they never developed an appetite for them. They did, however, love Barney, Reading Rainbow, Zaboomafoo and Mr. Rogers and they still watch some of these even though they're older.
Warm Regards,

New York-based Dennis Wedlick Architect [DWA] used to be known for crafting finely detailed custom homes in rural locations and creative loft conversions in the urban environment. The 20-year firm is still known for such work, but today it is increasingly associated with the German-based high performance building standard known as "Passive House."
"We now use Passive House principles on every project we do," Wedlick says, whose early training included a 12-year stint in the office of the late architect Philip Johnson. "We don't necessarily aspire to Passive House certification or pursue the perfect formula, but it's about applying the principles and the building science."
Wedlick started his firm in 1992 with little more than a dream and a credit card—two credit cards, actually. Columbia County, N.Y., is "where he built a 1,000-square-foot country house for himself and his partner, Curtis DeVito," we wrote in our 2001 profile of the architect. The profile continues, "He and DeVito maxed out their credit cards to build the house, convinced it was absolutely necessary to launch Wedlick's solo career. A shrewd decision. It lead to media coverage and a continuing stream of commissions in Columbia County."
Since that time, the firm has gone from a sole practitioner to about 15 architecture, interior design, and landscape professionals. Residential work remains the mainstay of the office. "We're fairly unique in that we didn't go from small houses to large commercial buildings," Wedlick explains. "We like the small projects. Residential is fairly more diverse because you have patrons who want to innovate and experiment with architecture."
DWA's body of work consists of 40 percent urban commissions (including lofts, townhomes, and small studios for residential clients), 40 percent rural projects (farms and vacation homes), and 20 percent miscellaneous buildings such as small commercial projects, work for Habitat for Humanity, and other structures. At the moment, the firm is in the design phase of a transformer recycling facility in the Hudson Valley.
Unlike most firms that start to dabble in other areas such as furniture and industrial design, design/build, or graphics, DWA remains committed to small custom homes of the highest order. The only difference is that the homes are high performance. The Passive House direction, Wedlick says, is part of his office's continuing education to make structures better and it's a practice he hopes all architects and builders adopt.
"The standard is quite amazing," he says. He explains that the firm always used basic common sense techniques from architecture school such as orientation, passive solar, using the wind, and proper vegetation—"Architecture 101", he calls it—but his team started exploring Passive House techniques in 2007.
"We were doing the basics of architecture," he says. "I didn't know that what I was looking at was green architecture." But it wasn't high performance architecture. "Now we build high performance homes. They are still beautifully crafted and well detailed, but now we know building science." Wedlick continues, "It's about controlling the indoor with better building enclosures and building science."
The Passive House concept, which originated in Germany, entails lowering heating loads by up to 90 percent through a rigorous set of steps that includes passive solar design, superinsulation, high-performance windows, and carefully calculated thermal bridging. DWA completed the Hudson Passive Project—the firm's first such house—in late 2010. Nestled on a rural site in Claverack, N.Y., the 1,650-square-foot timber-frame house features SIP walls and ceilings, triple-paned windows, and stone cladding. Today, the firm has several Passive House projects in various stages of design, construction, and completion.
Passive House is the future, Wedlick says. It's a standard that results in buildings that use less energy and homes that are better for the environment and the owners. "When you don't know, you don't know. But now we know," Wedlick says.

Years in practice: 20 | Currently active projects: 14 | Projects completed in 2011: 8 | Firm size: 20 | Areas of interest: Custom residential homes; Passive House consulting; and research and redevelopment in infill housing

ByDante Chinni
Dante Chinni is the writer of Politics Counts , which runs every Friday. Mr. Chinni is the author of Our Patchwork Nation, which examines different types of communities across the U.S.
One of the big political winners this week in Washington was the "middle class."
President Barack Obama mentioned that important group of voters eight times in his State of the Union address and announced new programs aimed at helping them. Not to be outdone, Sen. Marco Rubio uttered the magic words 16 times in his rebuttal.
But all the odes to middle-class Americans working middle-class jobs, misses one big point: What exactly is "middle class" in America in 2013? That's not an easy question to answer.
The place you live has a lot to do with how you experience and understand "class" in America. The "middle" is always defined by who is at the top and bottom and that varies greatly from state to state and county to county.
Changes in American communities – particularly growing wealth in urban and suburban places – mean the words "middle class" don't carry the real weight they once did. The definition of the group has become so broad that crafting something that appeals to it as a whole is a difficult task.
Looking at median household income is revealing. Nationally, the figure is about $51,027, but even at the state level there are huge differences. Mississippi has a median household income of just $39,078. In Maryland, the number is $67,469. That's a difference of more than $28,000. The "middle" in those two states is necessarily different.
And the wide disparities extend beyond those two states as the chart below shows.
Top Five States, Median HH Income Bottom Five States, Median HH Income
|New Hampshire
|New Jersey
|South Carolina
At the county level, the variations grow much more stark. In Holmes County Miss., the median household income is $22,259. One county over, Madison, it is $59,730. And not all of Maryland is wealthy. Montgomery County has a median household income of more than $95,000. But Allegany County's median is about $35,000.
And remember those are just the medians, the middle points in those state and county income levels. When you broaden the description to the middle 60% of households, a definition researchers often use for the middle class, the differences get startling.
In some of the wealthiest counties in the country – primary urban and suburban places – the middle 60% is impossibly large. In New York County (Manhattan) the bottom end of that middle class group is $20,171 and the top end is $171,942. That's a range of $151,000. In Fairfax, Va., (suburban Washington), the bottom of the middle class would be $52,184, but the top would be $194,716. That's a range of $142,000.
Many of Mr. Obama's economic proposals in the State of the Union were broad ideas but one of them shows just how complicated the "middle class" argument can get: Raising the minimum wage by $1.75 to $9 an hour.[wsj-responsive-more-in tag="Politics Counts" category="" ]
About 1.6 million workers in the U.S. earn the minimum wage, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For those workers, the increase would bump their pay by about $3,640 annually, up to $18,720 from $15,080. That's if they work 40 hours a week and took no vacation.
That's a sizable increase, but even in a household where two people are bringing in that salary, their total would still only equal about $37,400. That would be a boost to the "middle class" in Holmes County Miss., but it still would not reach into the "middle-class" households in Fairfax, Va. And while it would have an impact on the extremely broad "middle class" in New York City, it wouldn't reach too far into that group.
That's not an argument against raising the minimum wage, but it is an argument about its role in helping the American middle class. In some places that money may be a crucial part of middle-class life, but in others it may be more about summer jobs for high school students.
The point is this: Helping the middle class may be popular, but it is not easy. The incomes in these middle-class ranges could incorporate everything from dishwashers to nuclear technicians depending on how many people are working in a home and where they live.
And politicians on both sides of the aisle have only exacerbated the middle class problem by making the group even broader. Last fall, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney took flak from the media when he suggested middle-class income reached up to about $250,000. But he was not alone. Mr. Obama himself has declared that the middle class extends up to household incomes of $250,000.
For the record, there is not a single county in America where the income of the middle 60% of earners reaches $250,000. There is only one county where it even breaks $200,000, Falls Church City, Va.
So yes, the "middle class" had a good week in Washington – at least rhetorically. But the real question when all the proposals are drafted is: Which middle class or even whose middle class is aided? It's a phrase most everyone can get behind in theory, until the specifics are laid out.

Wachovia Business Camp attracts top minority students
Thirty of the most accomplished high-school students from minority populations in the Carolinas will attend the Business at Moore Summer Camp June 20-26 at the University of South Carolina as part of a scholars program funded by Wachovia Foundation.
The Moore School of Business program, now in its third year, teaches rising high-school seniors about business development and how to create a business plan for a new start-up enterprise. The students live on the university's campus and attend classes – taught by Moore School faculty – in accounting, management, finance, marketing and computer-information systems, as well as presentation, business research and teamwork skills.
Working in five-member teams, the students will present their business plans to faculty, peers and Wachovia business executives on the final day of camp. A group of judges will determine the top three plans, and the teams presenting those plans will receive cash prizes.
The camp will begin with a banquet Saturday night (June 20) for the students and their families.
The 30 rising seniors, including a set of twins from Lower Richland High School, were chosen from a pool of 170 applicants. The twins, Michael Brown and Matthew Brown, are currently ranked first and second respectively, of their 2010 class.
As a group, the 30 scholars are among the top students in their classes, with an average GPA of 4.6 and SAT score of 1220. Upon completion of the camp, the students will be eligible to compete for full Wachovia scholarships to study business at the University of South Carolina.
Last fall, 15 students who attended the first camp, held in 2007, entered the university; 10 were business majors. This fall, 12 students who attended the 2008 camp are expected to enroll; 11 will be business majors. Highly sought after by many colleges, the students turned down offers from other top universities to attend the Moore School.

BS '84 (Air Force Academy), MBA '05 Colonel (Ret), USAF Astronaut, NASA
A retired colonel from the United States Air Force and current NASA Astronaut, Gregory H. Johnson graduated with a B.S. in aeronautical engineering with honors from the Air Force Academy in 1984. He received a Guggenheim Fellowship to earn his MS in flight structures engineering at Columbia University in 1985. He was selected for Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, graduating in December 1994. Johnson graduated with his MBA from the McCombs School of Business in 2005.
At NASA, Johnson serves as chief of the Astronaut Safety Branch and has been a primary player spanning all phases of astronaut safety. As a member of the investigative team for the 2003 Columbia accident, Johnson aided in the discovery of the potential for foam debris to inflict critical damage on shuttles during ascent. He piloted the STS-123 Endeavour flight in March of 2008, a 16-day flight and among the longest shuttle missions to date.
After logging 4,000 flight hours in more than 40 different aircraft, Johnson retired from the Air Force in 2009. Through his decorated military career, Johnson has garnered thirteen medals, including the Distinguished Flying Cross. He flew 34 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm and 27 in Operation Southern Watch.
Johnson is assigned to pilot the STS-134, one of the final shuttle missions, to deliver the last module to the Space Station in early 2011. Johnson regularly speaks at schools and professional organizations across the country.

Hip painPain - hip
Hip-related pain is not always felt directly over the hip. Instead, you may feel it in the middle of your thigh or in your groin. Similarly, pain you feel in the hip may actually reflect a problem in your back, rather than your hip itself.
See: Low back pain
Hip fractures are a major and serious cause of sudden hip pain. Hip fractures become more common as people age because falls are more likely and bones become thinner. People with osteoporosis can get a fracture from simple, everyday activities, not just from a big fall or injury.
A hip fracture can change your quality of life significantly. Fewer than 50% of people with a hip fracture return to their former level of activity. While you recover from a hip fracture, several possible complications can be life-threatening. These include pneumonia and a blood clot in the leg, which can break loose and travel to cause a clot in the lungs. Both are due to lack of movement after a hip fracture and hip surgery.
Other possible causes of hip pain include:
- Arthritis -- often felt in the front part of your thigh or in your groin
- Bursitis -- it hurts when you get up from a chair, walk, climb stairs, and drive
- Infection
- Low-back pain such as sciatica
- Osteonecrosis of the hip
- Strain or sprain
- Tendinitis from repetitive or strenuous activity
Home Care
General tips:
- Try to avoid activities that aggravate the pain.
- Take over-the-counter pain medication, like ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
- Sleep on your non-painful side with a pillow between your legs.
For hip pain related to overuse or physical activity:
- Always warm up before exercising and cool down afterward. Stretch your quadriceps and hamstrings.
- Avoid running straight down hills -- walk down instead.
- Bicycle or swim instead of run.
- Reduce the amount of exercise you do.
- Run on a smooth, soft surface, such as a track, instead of on cement.
- Lose weight if you are overweight. Ask your health care provider for help.
- If you have flat feet, try special shoe inserts and arch supports (orthotics).
- Make sure your running shoes are made well, fit well, and have good cushioning.
If you think you may have arthritis in your hip, see your health care provider before exercising your hip.
Tips to relieve hip bursitis pain:
- Use ice three to four times a day for the first 2 to 3 days. Cover your hip with a towel and place ice on it for 15 minutes. Do not fall asleep while using ice -- you can leave it on for too long and get frostbite.
- Try not to stand for long periods of time. If you must stand, do so on a soft, cushioned surface. Stand with an equal amount of weight on each leg.
- When you sleep, do not lie on the side that has bursitis. Place a pillow between your knees when you lie on your side to help decrease your pain.
- Wear flat shoes that are cushioned and comfortable.
- If you are overwegiht, losing weight may also help.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Go to a hospital or call 911 if:
- Your hip pain is caused by a serious fall or other injury
- Your leg is deformed, badly bruised, or bleeding
- You are unable to move your hip or bear any weight on your leg
Call your doctor if:
- Your hip is still painful after 1 week of home treatment
- You also have a fever or rash
- You have sudden hip pain, plus sickle cell anemia or long-term steroid use
- You have pain in both hips or other joints
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination, with careful attention to your hips, thighs, back, and gait.
To help diagnose the cause of the problem, your health care provider will ask medical history questions, such as:
- Do you have pain in one or both hips?
- Do you have pain somewhere else, like your lower back or thigh?
- Do you have pain in other joints?
- Did your pain begin suddenly, or slowly and mildly?
- Did the pain begin after an injury, fall, or accident?
- Does any activity make the pain worse?
- Have you done anything to try to relieve the pain? If so, what helps?
- Are you able to walk and bear weight?
- What other medical problems do you have? Osteoporosis or other signs of bone loss? Sickle cell anemia?
- Do you take any medications? If so, which ones? If you are on steroids, for how long have you been on them?
X-rays of the hip may be needed.
Your health care provider may tell you to take a higher dose of over-the-counter medication, or give you a prescription anti-inflammatory medication.
Surgical repair or hip replacement may be recommended for osteonecrosis. Hip replacement is necessary for hip fracture and severe arthritis.
- Avoid activities that raise one of your hips above the other for extended periods of time, like running on an uneven surface. Running on a treadmill can keep your hips level.
- Warm up before exercising and cool down afterward. Stretch your hips, low back, and thighs.
- Avoid falls.
- Wear hip pads for contact sports like football and hockey. For those at high risk for a hip fracture, pads with a streamline design can be worn in undergarments.
- Learn how to prevent osteoporosis.

Thread: How do I find a good midwife?

How do I find a good midwife?
As a homebirth advocate, I'm often asked the question "How do I find a good midwife?"
First I suggest places where you can find referrals in your local area which might include a web page that helps you locate a midwife, looking in the phone book, checking with the local health food stores, calling around to Chiropractic, massage, and other holistic health care offices or talking to other mums in the church nursery. Once you have a name of a midwife, ask that midwife if she is familiar with any other midwives in the area (especially if she is not as close as you'd like).
The next step in finding a midwife is choosing a midwife. So how do you choose the best midwife?
I suggest asking some very specific questions during your interview and always following-up by calling at least 3 mums who have used the midwife in the past. I wasn't as interested in hearing about the "uneventful" birth as I was about problems that went wrong. I want a midwife who is skilled at stepping in and either averting problems or solving them because the more they can handle at home, the less chance of having to be transferred to the hospital. I would say that 3 of my 5 births had challenges associated with them and I was so thankful for a skilled midwife who was able to handle them.
So what are the 2 biggest questions I ask when interviewing a midwife?
1. Have you ever lost a mom or a baby? My first midwife answered "no" and I hired her for my first 3 births. My second midwife answered "yes, she had lost a baby", but she went on to explain the situation and said that even in a hospital setting, they would not have been able to save the baby. I felt very confident with her answer and hired her for my last two births.
2. How many births have you been the primary midwife for? Both of my midwives had over 2,000 births where they were primary. Being the primary midwife is different than asking "how many babies have you caught?" or "how many births have you attended?". You can attend a birth and not do anything. You can step in and catch a baby at the last minute. But the primary midwife is ultimately responsible for everything and should be the most experienced and knowledgeable person at the birth.
I have a whole list of questions that I have created over the years, but I'd like to hear some of the questions you might have for a midwife. Many of these questions would also be applicable when interviewing a doctor. What would you want to know if you were interviewing a caregiver for your birth?

When I was interviewing midwives, I had quite a few questions. I also asked them what their transfer rates were and what situations would warrant a transfer to the hospital. I think this article addresses some good questions that could pertain to finding a midwife. I think asking about fees, what happens if they are not available for the birth, if they have a partnership, and how they manage labour are all good questions, as well.

I have yet to ever see a Go-Pro video that was not from the perspective of looking at the person surfing. Real original, plus nobody wants to stare at your kook face while the frame is all shaky and crappy from you chop hops. Why is it that anyone who owns a go pro and that is like more than half to @ssbags in the water these days have to have it on the nose of their board looking at them. That perspective sucks! Get over yourselves.
If you are going to use it for your own improvement i.e. see what your doing wrong or where you can improve, thats great good for you. But if you are going to make, edit and post it to share on the internet change up the perspective you selfish attention whores.

Got new Z7 Set Up Tonight -- First Impressions
I set up my new Z-7 and got it running tonight.
Eyeballed the rest and nock:
Looking from top down to the shelf positioned arrow near center and parallel to edge of shelf
Looking from side put arrow dead center through the Berger bolt hole and nock a frog hair high just enough to be sure it wasnt nock low.
First shot through paper bullet.
That is the way it is for me most of the time lately, the eyeball parallel to edge of shelf is dead on unless there are other issues and center of the Berger bolt hole just plain tunes much better than even just a little high.
Using a PSE Phantom containment drop-away rest.
I may just keep her for a while. At least a week or two anyway. LOL
The valley, let off, and wall are amazing. You could take a nap back there. Reminds me a bit of the Martin C.A.T. cams or an 82nd with the draw stop farther back than spec calls for. Almost feels like you have to push it to get it started. Will be nice for holding at full draw while hunting.
For a shortie bow it is remarkably dead in the hand and quiet no not really challenging my Commander but nice just the same.
Draw cycle that everyone raves about is actually a bit harsh at the end of the draw with a small hump and quiver of the bow when it drops into the valley. Draw cycle is not this bows best attribute even though many seem thrilled by it. Dont get me wrong it is not bad but I have several bows that draw smoother including an 06 Tribute of similar size and speed.
Best hunting bow ever made ??? Well, it is in that class but not necessarily the best in all attributes. It depends on what attributes are the most important to you. It is not the smoothest, it is not the fastest, it is not the smallest or lightest, etc. But considered as a total package, it is right up there somewhere.
Best wishes.
