t is perhaps the most misconceived beverage on our liquor store shelves. French poet Arthur Rimbaud referred to absinthe as "the sagebrush of the glaciers," and a multitude of fanciful titles have been bestowed on this choice drink of artists, writers and dilettantes. However, its surge in popularity — from its beginnings in the early 19th century to its minor revival at the beginning of the 21st — has left the cultural mainstay of Oscar Wilde, Eduard Manet and Baudelaire in a heap of rags. "It's a cocktail of terpenes," says Greigh Swain of the startup distillery Whiteaker Spirits. "A terpene cocktail, actually, if you make a cocktail out of it. It's all these essential oils from all of these plants." Swain, a long time drinker of absinthe (commercial and bootlegged, domestic and imported) and Eugene resident, has been in the process of starting up a distillery in the Whiteaker for the past few years — but an absinthe distillery requires a lot of time, labor and financing. There are a handful of absinthe distillers in Oregon, but the two most revered makers of la fée vert on the West Coast are from Washington: Marteau by Gnostalgic Spirits in Seattle, and Pacifique by Pacific Distillery in Woodinville. Both are available through OLCC liquor stores. Most traditional absinthe recipes call for three main ingredients: fennel, anise and wormwood. The first two contribute to aroma and flavor, and the final element is a bittering agent. But there are literally hundreds — if not thousands — of recipes that exist for this particular digestif (before its popularization, absinthe was consumed as a digestive aid for those meaty, fatty bourgeois meals). Inarguably, the biggest misconception concerning absinthe is the issue of thujone. Thujone, a compound found in wormwood, is allegedly the culprit for the purported hallucinations, insanity and fairy-lore surrounding absinthe. But it always occurs in doses too low to have any psychotropic effect. Rather, it's the combination of all these herbs — along with other psychoactives like lemon balm, hyssop, Mellisa, dittany and other herbs traditionally used in witchcraft and magic — that lends a very subtle, beautiful change in perception, says Swain. "I like to call it rhapsodic," he explains. "I feel like I can appreciate music and poetry better, and just watching the wind blow through the trees feels good." "It probably plugs the neuron receptors for opiates, which is why that was the second choice when people couldn't get opium," says Danae Spencer, a friend of Swain's and a longtime absinthe drinker. Swain takes me into his kitchen and pulls from the top cabinet an unlabeled bottle, half-filled with green liquid — a bootlegged bottle from a local absinthe distiller. "The whole ritual thing with the fountain and the sugar cube, it's a marketing ploy," he says as he pours a few ounces into a glass, then slowly decants water over the green nectar. I sip it down to the last few ounces, then quaff the rest lavishly. Leaving, trying to balance on my bike, Albert Hoffman's famous bike ride comes to mind — it's really nothing like that, but it's good. Absinthe is available at OLCC-regulated liquor stores, as well as various Eugene bars and restaurants like Marché, The Rabbit Bistro and Agate Alley Bistro. — Andrew Hitz

AQUAVIT Viking types drink it, and they kick ass By Camilla Mortensen
hen I was teething as a baby my mom put aquavit on my gums to soothe the pain. Maybe that's when I developed a taste for the vodka-like, herbflavored spirit. Danes down aquavit — usually called "snaps� — like it's medicine. Bellow a toast, bang an elbow on the table a couple times and pour it back. Eat some pickled fish; drink some beer; repeat. The liquor connoisseurs at Izakaya Meiji, where I recently encountered the Oregonmade House Spirits Krogstad Aquavit, say that perhaps the reason Danes gulp their aquavit, instead of serving it in stemmed glasses and sipping the icy liquid more gently, is because Danish aquavit isn't very good. They gave a thumbs-down to the Swedish stuff too. Norwegian aquavit, they assure me, is the way to go. Aquavit is from the Latin for "water of life,� in case you were wondering how seriously Scandinavians take drinking. The herbs that flavor it are said to be medicinal. Caraway is good for your digestion. Star anise, a licorice-flavored herb, is used to fight swine flu. Dill, coriander and cardamom are also used. Elliot Martinez, a bartender at Meiji and popularly known as the editor of Booze Week, served two aquavits on a "flight night� in February, paired, as they should be, with fish — locally produced white anchovies. Linie Aquavit is made in Norway, crosses the equator on a ship, twice, and is aged in sherry casks, Martinez says. Krogstad, however, is made here in Oregon, and according to eponymous maker
Christian Krogstad, it's the number-one selling aquavit in the state, beating out Aalborg, a popular Danish aquavit. While I defer to the encyclopedic beverage knowledge of the gurus behind the bar at Meiji, I argue that you first have to taste Aalborg's Jubilaeums Aquavit before you write off Danish snaps entirely. Dill, coriander and a hint of star anise flavor this golden-hued drink, and beating its sales in a state liberally sprinkled with Nordic types is no easy task. "My family is Norwegian, I grew up with not only aquavit, but the food that goes with it,â€? Krogstad says. "It makes a lot sense with foods, and that's kind of how it started.â€? He says the distillery originally "just made it for a lark,â€? but soon the cool-kid bartenders from Portland to NYC were using the uniquely flavored liquor in cocktails. "We used my name because we aren't very creative,â€? Krogstad laughs. "It's not a super-aggressive flavor like you get from most gins,â€? he says. "It's complex, but smooth and balanced. A lot of people are using it to make something that would be a vodka drink and make it more interesting.â€? Krogstad Aquavit is dominated by caraway and star anise. The anise gives it that licorice flavor, and the caraway, Christian Krogstad says, "is very complex and has these savory low notes.â€? Some local liquor stores sell aquavits, including Aalborg and Krogstad, or you can head to Izakaya Meiji and have Martinez or another creative mixologists pour you a cold shot of snaps, or create a cocktail with a distinctly Scandinavian flavor. â–

A JOURNEY UNDER THE TABLE Ten drinks that will knock you on your ass
By Andy Valentine Photos by Jackson Voelkel
ou wake up and the ceiling's spinning. There's some kind of pulsating shockwave rumbling through your spine. Your ears are muffled and it's now that you notice how odd it is that there's gum stuck to the ceiling. Come to think of it, that's not even a normal ceiling; it's made of wood, and people have scrawled their drunken musings all over it with fat, black magic marker. It takes you longer than it should to notice that your friend is crouched over you with a drink in his hand, looking at you with concern. "What the hell happened?" you ask. Your friend replies, but you can't hear what he says. This is the story of you, under a table, emerging from a blackout. Wanna know how you got there? These are the drinks that helped:
"Goombay Smash"
"Irish Hockey Player"
The Cooler (20 Centennial Loop) ONE SHOT CAPTAIN MORGAN RUM, ONE SHOT BACARDI 151 RUM, ONE SHOT COCKSPUR RUM, ONE SHOT AÑEJO TEQUILA, JUICY GOODNESS, MOSTLY PINEAPPLE. • $8.50 This drink, created by a Cooler regular while on vacation, could have been your first step down the road to annihilation. It's juicy, delicious and, by the time you're done with it, you've got an ass-kicker of a brain-freeze and a warm internal blanket weaving its way between your cold bones.
Black Forest (50 E. 11th) JAMESON IRISH WHISKEY (A FUCK TON), MUDDLED LEMONS, MAPLE SYRUP • $5 Yes, yes and yes. This was a strong one; it's hard to believe you were still coherent enough to keep ordering.
"Smoking Gun" Izakaya Meiji (345 Van Buren) TWO SHOTS HIGHLAND PARK SCOTCH, ½ OZ. FERNET-BRANCA MINT LIQUEUR, BITTERS, HONEY & VANILLA SIMPLE SYRUP • (CUSTOM PRICE) This saucy little number in a short glass is dense, delicious and rugged. You probably stopped here because you had a hankering for a whiskey buzz after all that rum. Craving satisfied. N.B. Ask Travis to mix this one if he's bartending; he pours like a pro.
"The Weekly" Hot Mama's Wings (420 W. 13th) ONE SHOT SNAKE RIVER STAMPEDE WHISKEY, ONE LEMON, SQUEEZED, ONE LIME, SQUEEZED, GRENADINE, SODA WATER • $8 Simply put, this drink is the shit. It's whiskey delicious, and the most chuggable cocktail ever. It's more than likely you downed this at breakneck speed and dipped out to let the real madness begin. Though it's possible you thought it was so great that you stayed and drank another two to five of them, again at speeds rivaling light and sound. Beware, this beverage (named in honor of nearby patrons) will creep on you — making its presence known later.
"Murder in Brentwood" Highlands Brew Pub (390 E. 40th) ONE SHOT SOUTHERN COMFORT, ONE SHOT ABSOLUT RASPBERRY VODKA, ONE SHOT ABSOLUT MANDARIN VODKA, ½ CAN RED BULL. • $7 The name pretty much says it all … a pulpy massacre in a glass that kicks your cheeks in with its sweetness. At this point, you probably started seeing double a little bit, maybe made a dumb joke about gloves fitting or not fitting, and then stumbled to the bathroom to break the seal.
"Spanish Coffee" Old Pad (wastedly, "Old Pan") (3355 E. Amazon) ONE SHOT BACARDI 151 RUM, ONE SHOT KAHLUA, ½ OZ. TRIPLE SEC LIQUEUR, 2 OZ. BLACK COFFEE, WHIPPED CREAM. • $6.75 What'sthatonyourhat?Ohit'swhippedcreamTWKTSOOYA — this is what you found later, scrawled on the palm of your hand. This drink fucked your shit sideways. Probably something to do with the caffeine. 4
SWIZZLE March 15, 2012
"Mutant Mai Tai" Black Forest (50 E. 11th) ONE SHOT COCONUT RUM, ONE SHOT MANGO RUM, ONE SHOT PEACH SCHNAPPS, MELON LIQUEUR, ORANGE JUICE, PINEAPPLE JUICE. • $5 This was probably the part of the night where you leaned all of your body weight on your friend's shoulder — elbow first — and yelled into his ear something like: "It's green like a fucking ninja turtle and dank as fuck!"
"Sweet Tart" Horsehead (99 W. Broadway) ONE SHOT GRAPE VODKA, ONE SHOT CHERRY VODKA, CRANBERRY SOUR MIX, LIME JUICE.• $6.75 Likely, you stumbled through the doors of Horsehead like a bull in a china shop, knocking over glasses full of swizzle sticks and straws as you approached the bar. You then requested "the strongest cocktail you have, please," and proceeded to dance heartily right after downing the thing, proclaiming, "I dun-no know how ta holda martina glasss." These were such happy times, but the darkness was starting to set in.
"Liquid Sin" Starlight Lounge (830 Olive) ONE SHOT BARENJÄGER HONEY LIQUEUR, ONE SHOT PEAR BRANDY, BLUE DOG MEAD, LEMON JUICE, GINGER. • $9 Now the room likely started spinning violently. Your insides churned as you drunk dialed someone. What the fuck did that drink taste like? It was good; that much you know. That's all you know.
"Cumberjack" Jackalope Lounge (453 Willamette) THREE SHOTS HENDRIX RHUBARB BITTERS, CUCUMBER, SIMPLE SYRUP. • $7 With your head spiraling wildly out of control, your grip on the glass loosening as you fall into the abyss, you probably hit your head very hard against a bar stool as you tumbled to the floor, crawled toward the nearest shadow — in this case the table you're under now — and stared up at the gum that dots the ceiling.
There you have it. Now go nurse your decrepid, moribund liver back to health, toggle-muncher. ■ www.eugeneweekly.com

KABOOM! How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
ortions of life require catalysts as extreme as the trials we often endure — chemical fuses to ignite our ambitions, explosions to hurry forth the entropy cycle. This is why we have the bomb. Not the type that ruins cities, guides diplomacy or hides in the sneakers of some religious fundamentalist ready to detonate himself after take off. Not the type of bomb you drop first thing in the morning, post Raisin Bran, magazine in hand, air freshener within reach. We're talking the type of bomb you drop on a Friday night, when you're out with your friends, looking to skew linear thought — shots in pint glasses, bang for your buck, civilian casualties. At first, I was unable to see the merit in dropping bombs. I'd dabbled in pacifism in college, and was somewhat opposed to this type of violence. Who in their right mind would think that soaking their system with a flash flood of booze in a short period of time is an excellent idea? Who wants to wake up face down in the bathroom of their chosen watering hole, unaware of what discharged? I was skeptical of such behavior, though not above it, and to gain a true understanding of the bomb I assembled a small committee to investigate. This coalition of the willing made its way to Cowfish because, while places such as The Old Pad and Sushi Ya can bust out the ordinance, the Fish has a wide variety of bombs in the bay. "It's not the experienced drinker who comes in and orders a bomb," says Patrick Campbell, bartender and liquid explosives expert. "It's usually the newer bar patrons, or people who know they aren't interesting in general and are looking to get interesting fast." With this said, the investigation continued as Campbell presented the committee with bombs for consumption and consideration, two of which managed to make their way into my own personal testimony.

The Vegas Bomb Only people of undiluted masochistic character would do this to themselves. In fact, bar owner Brian Hebb speculated that this drink is "perhaps the greatest evidence that we are a herd animal more likely to follow the ass of our fellows into a chasm, than trust our own good sense to stand aside." The Vegas Bomb involves Crown Royal and Malibu in a shot glass being dropped into peach schnapps and Red Bull. The committee was shocked and awed, appalled that anyone could do this to his fellow man. It didn't taste like that sinful hellhole in Nevada, but rather like a shipwrecked night on an abandoned beach, when a man finds himself wretched, alone, assed-out and sandier than a wounded seagull.
The Springfield Car Bomb In sheer contrast to the Vegas Bomb, this drink is as smooth as it is terrible — Oakshire Stout, Bailey's Irish Cream and whiskey combust to blow you away. Whereas one member of the committee referred to the Vegas Bomb as tasting like a "date rape gummy worm," other members speculated that the Springfield Car Bomb was "the chocolate milk he always wanted." In the end, we stopped worrying and concluded that not all bombs are bad, though the people who drop them are of questionable character to say the least. Please bomb responsibly, and mind your collateral damage. ■ Note: All references to bombs, explosives and shit that goes "kaboom" are intended to be received within the context of drinking. If for some reason this article were to fall into the hands of an agent from the Department of Homeland Security, we would urge that agent to have a stiff drink.

've got information, man! New shit has come to light! Ever want to sip a white Russian in a bowling alley without worrying that you'll end up serving 6 months in Chino? As long as you don't do something foolish, like expose yourself to an 8-year-old, you can enjoy what you want at Strike City, out on Highway 99. First a little clarification: This is not 'Nam. This is bowling. There are rules. Liquor is sold downstairs in the Spare Room, in an area where minors aren't allowed. Christie Scott at the OLCC says that liquor can be sold in the area without minors and that place is said to have a "predominant activity" that's drinking-related. When patrons leave the bar, they enter an area where the predominant activity is bowling, and liquor can be consumed but not sold — so separating the selling from the drinking makes it legal. I know, I know, this is a very complicated case. A lotta ins, lotta outs, lotta what-haveyous. And, uh, lotta strands to keep in your head, man. You might have to adhere to a pretty strict, uh, drug regimen to keep your mind limber. Don't get down on yourself if you can't keep all those strands in your head; if you're into the whole brevity thing, you can just be a nihilist about it and not adhere to any belief. "Every restaurant is different; every bowling alley is different," Scott says. The white Russians — or Caucasians, if you're a fan of the preferred nomenclature — are just about perfect, with their milky softness and coffee punch, and they were just on the right side of strong the night we visited. Strike City's Eric Gilbert says having a bar with a full liquor license is a pretty rare thing. "We're the only one I know of," he says. Gilbert says that right now specials like 75-cent tacos on Fridays and Saturdays are the most popular, but he's looking to start up more Lebowski-themed events, such as a night with drink specials or special deals for those who bowl in costumes or bathrobes. Anyone with ideas or who wants to be kept in the loop can contact Gilbert at info@ eugenesgamecentral.com In the meantime, sipping on Caucasians isn't the only way to celebrate the Duderino at Strike City. Each of the Spare Room's burgers is named for a character in the movie — Brandt, Jeffrey, Donny, Hungus, Maude, Jackie, Bunny and The Sobchak Slammer — and made with Ninkasi's Brew Beef Patties; they're range-fed, hormone and antibiotic-free and finished with spent grain from Ninkasi. Does beef make you feel like you're out of your element? Substitute a turkey, chicken or garden burger for free. There's also a handmade free-range buffalo burger for $1.50 more. Still think having liquor in a bowling alley is too scandalous for Oregon? Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man. ■

Handling your hangover
ny drinker can entertain you with a good hangover story or two. And for every hangover story, there are at least five "knownâ€? cures. The science supporting most remedies is shaky, and when seeking a cure it really comes down to personal preference as well as individual makeup. But when you've overdone the boozing and are hurting the next morning, chances are you'll try just about anything to feel better. In order to counteract the effects of alcohol, it is important to first know what is going on with your body during a hangover. First and foremost, your body is severely dehydrated. Also, the liver is working overtime to break down the ethanol contained in alcoholic beverages, so it is unable to provide your body with the necessary amounts of glucose to power important organs like the brain. This all leaves you feeling lethargic, nauseous, weak and, chances are, there is a pounding headache involved as well. Cures — and trust me, I use the term loosely — can be broken down into two main categories. First, there is the planner's approach, which is prevention. If you can anticipate overindulging, the effects of a hangover can be reduced if not avoided altogether by drinking ample amounts of water alongside your alcoholic beverage of choice. One popular method is one glass of water to match every cocktail. Also, make sure you've lined your stomach with a healthy amount of food. This facilitates the absorption of alcohol, lessening its effects on your body. Last, avoid brown beverages (whiskey, rum, etc.) and cheap liquors, which haven't been filtered as much as clear and mid- to topshelf liquors. Following these three tips, your chances of waking and functioning alcohol decently the following day improve. consumption causes On the off chance you cannot dehydration anticipate overconsumption or simply forget to safeguard yourself, the next morning (or afternoon) will find you soon enough. Enter the ol' standbys. Though alcohol you feel like vomiting — and potentially have causes the kidneys to done so already — now is a good time to grab some release food. Getting something in your stomach will help more urine absorb any remaining alcohol, and carb-heavy foods like bread or pancakes will speed some much needed glucose to tissues, particularly the brain. Sodas can ease an upset stomach and the drinking water carbonation helps combat roiling stomach acids. counteracts the An age-old favorite is Coke, whose syrup was effects of alcohol consumption once a staple used to treat stomach ailments in pharmacies around the country. Ginger ale makes for a fine choice as well — as long as it involves real ginger, a root used around the world to combat nausea. Of course, people will always try and direct food helps you to the "hair of the dog,â€? or, in layman's terms, to absorb alcohol and lessen it's a morning cocktail. If you go this route, make it a effects on your body Bloody Mary. The alcohol in the vodka eases the pain while the tomato juice and other veggies replenish your hurting body. Of course, the best cure for a hangover is to not get one, to know your limits and cut yourself off when you've reached that point. But where's the fun in that? â–

odka. It's an old standard — the Russians down it with breakfast, the rich housewives of West Chester, Pa., slop it in their martinis with lunch, and the alco-jocks chase it down with Red Bull and alco-pops on the weekends. Out in Monroe, Ore., the fellas at Hard Times Distillery, LLC have been concocting some spirits that might just pull vodka back from the brink of typecast. Take for instance their unique blend of vodka and wasabi, aptly named "Green Geisha"; it's an acquired taste for sure, though not as spicy as one would think. Personally, I'm not a fan — but knocking something before you've tried it is for fools. Pure wasabi root, neutral grain spirits and Quail Ridge spring water go into the stuff, and it can be thrown back straight, but it's recommended as a spike for martinis and Bloody Marys. Next comes Hard Times' basic vodka — though not so basic, as reality would have it. "Sugar Momma" is naturally sweet vodka designed to be hucked in a glass over rocks and sipped delicately. She can be thrown into any sweet vodka drink quite easily, too: lemon drops, caipirinhas, vodka alexanders, you name it. Hard Times Distillery is attempting to revamp the old school moonshining aesthetic while creating unique, acquired tastes within their product — they've triumphed in both fields. ■

I often start reading new books in January (or in the holiday period just before the New Year). It's a time of year when most of us are renewing our business plans and looking ahead optimistically to new beginnings.
This year I've focused in on two books about the future and the future of technology. One is "old" – first published in 2011 but still incredibly relevant – and one is much newer, having just become available in 2016. Both are stimulating and provocative; I'll mention them briefly today and then share their lessons here a little bit at a time over the next several weeks.
The "old" 2011 book is Flash Foresight: How to See the Invisible and Do the Impossible, by Daniel Burrus. I read it when it first came out, enjoyed it thoroughly, and then let its lessons get lost in the shuffle as I was concentrating the last several years on my own book, Making Meetings Matter.
Burrus is an accomplished futurist who advises organizations all over the world, helping them overcome mental and physical barriers to achieve remarkable transformations in their business models, their operational effectiveness, and their bottom lines.
Flash Foresight is full of fascinating stories about organizational innovation and breakthroughs. More importantly, Burrus doesn't just entertain you with stories showing how insightful he is; rather, he describes the mental processes and fundamental principles he has developed that make the future so much more predictable for his clients.
I'm still absorbing Burrus's operating principles. They sound simple, but I'm convinced they are profound. Here are the seven principles around which the book is organized:
- Start with certainty
- Anticipate
- Transform
- Take your biggest problem – and skip it
- Go opposite
- Redefine and reinvent
- Direct your future
Warning: you can't really understand these principles by simply looking at their labels. You have to read the stories, think about the insights, and then adapt them to your own experience. Take it from me, however, that they are well worth digging into, soaking in, and mastering.
By the way, Burrus has an active website (http://www.burrus.com) and blog (http://www.burrus.com/blog/) , which I highly recommend. If you are the least bit interested in taking charge of your future, or leading your organization into the future, get to know Daniel Burrus.
My other source of inspiration at the moment is Kevin Kelly's latest masterpiece, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future. Kelly is one of the most brilliant technologists on the planet. He is a co-founder of Wired Magazine; he was a founding board member at The Well, a very early online community founded in 1985 and still active today; he conceived of and edited several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog; and he is a founding member of the board of the Long Now Foundation, which is building a clock and a library designed to last for 10,000 years.
In short, if you want to know anything about how technology will evolve and affect our lives and our work, you need to listen to Kevin Kelly.
The Inevitable is a true tour de force; it takes a dozen different looks at the fundamental technologies we depend on these days, paying particular attention to how our experiences with those technologies are changing – and then Kelly adds powerful insight into how each of those changing experiences with technology transforms our understanding of the world and of each other.
Here are the twelve core chapters in the book; you will see they are not about technology per se, but rather each chapter identifies a human experience that is being transformed by technology:
- Becoming
- Cognifying
- Flowing
- Screening
- Accessing
- Sharing
- Filtering
- Remixing
- Interacting
- Tracking
- Questioning
- Beginning
In the coming weeks I'll dig more deeply into these admittedly abstract concepts. But take it from me; they are powerful, impactful, and important. As just one example, Kelly describes in breathtaking detail how the experience of reading online (blogs, browsers, websites, shopping sites) is significantly different from paging through a printed book. Web-based text includes hyperlinks; it flows past you as you scroll or jump from one site to another. The net result is a qualitatively different kind of Knowing.
I would love to hear from you if you are familiar with either these books. They are meant to be savored, shared, and reflected on with friends and colleagues. Anyone interested in a book club conversation about flash foresight or the inevitable impact of new technologies?
Call me today (+1 510.558.1434) for a free exploratory conversation about how you can enable your organization to take charge of its future. I'd love to explore with you how the ideas in these two books could inform your strategic planning and achieve breakthrough innovation results.

By winding down DACA over six months, President Trump may have addressed a short-term political dilemma. But this action ensures debate will rage on in search of a lasting solution, as many in Congress and beyond recognize the loss of work authorization and deportation relief will affect not only DACA recipients and their families, but also employers, universities, and communities alike, as this commentary explores.

The future of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program is uncertain, amid skepticism from the Trump administration about its merits and the promise of legal challenge from ten state attorneys general. This issue brief presents a profile of young adults eligible for DACA in terms of their educational attainment and labor force participation, as well as what is at stake should the program be terminated.
Across Europe, grassroots efforts have emerged in the wake of crisis that draw members of the public into the process of receiving refugees and supporting their integration. This policy brief examines the many forms community-based or private sponsorship can take, what benefits such approaches may hold for European communities, and the tradeoffs policymakers face in their implementation.
This issue brief offers community stakeholders a framework to evaluate state education accountabiilty plans to determine if they meet required English Learner (EL) accountability elements. The information that community stakeholders collect using this framework may be used to monitor implementation and adherence to state plans and to evaluate the efficacy of policies chosen by the state.
For children in U.S. homes where a language other than English is spoken, early childhood programs that are responsive to their needs can be key to later academic success. But as states refine their Quality Rating and Improvement Systems (QRIS) to assess such programs, immigrant early childhood workers with in-demand language and cultural skills may be left behind. This report examines the challenges these workers face and promising practices to serve diverse communities.
U.S. agriculture has long relied on foreign-born workers to fill seasonal and labor-intensive jobs. But who are the immigrants who now make up three-fourths of hired workers on U.S. farms? This policy brief sketches a workforce that is aging and less reliant on unauthorized workers—and employers who are increasingly turning to mechanization and the H-2A guestworker program to fill gaps as Mexican migration slows.
Over the past decade, immigrant investor programs have proliferated around the world, and Chinese applicants have dominated in a number of countries. In 2015, about 9,000 Chinese millionaires moved to other countries, many through so-called golden visa programs. This article explores the social and cultural factors driving well-off Chinese to move abroad and examines perceptions of elite emigration in China.
The Trump administration's decision to rescind the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program—which offered work authorization and relief from deportation to some 790,000 unauthorized immigrants brought to the United States as children—has sparked new urgency to find a longer-term fix for the group of immigrants commonly known as DREAMers. This Policy Beat article examines movement in Congress and the courts and explores likely paths forward.
Following the 2015–16 crisis that saw record numbers of refugees arrive in Europe, policymakers have shown interest in creating managed, legal alternatives to the dangerous, unauthorized journeys many asylum seekers make. While these discussions should be informed by an understanding of current pathways and protection channels, it is "nearly impossible" to know how protection seekers enter and what legal channels are available to them, as this MPI Europe report explains.

Spooning (Epilogue)
The clock read 9:42.
The man stirred, stretching his long legs down and his arms out, both over and under the woman's torso. The woman leaned her head back, opened her eyes, and looked into the man's.
"That was some dream I had last night," he said.
"Me, too." She smiled at him, then blinked a few times.
"I'm pregnant."
"…! Hm? How do you-"
"I just know. My mom said she knew it with both my brothers and me, as soon as it happened. And her mom before that."
"You sure its even the right time?"
"Oh, yes. I know, we should test in a few days or weeks, I guess. But I'm right. I didn't know that I'd know, I didn't know how. But I do now."
"That's crazy," hs said, looking off out the window.
"Is it? I can't really explain it. I just… know."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Matthew. Look at me. I'm positive"
"Oh. …Wow."
"Yes. Wow."
"This is good, right? This is what we wanted? What we've been trying for?"
"Ohhh, yes, my love. This is right. This is perfect."
"I always thought we'd find out by looking at stripes on little sticks or something. This is much better. Um… Is it a boy or a girl?"
"How should I know? It doesn't work that way, silly.
"Oh. Just checking. …I love you, Lyn. Hey! You're going to be a Mom!" the woman shivered at the words.
"Love you Matt. And you're going to be a Dad." The man's arms closed around the woman's body and hugged her to him. "…Now, fuck me."
"You want to make love after whatever happened last night- this morning… whatever?"
"No. I want you to fuck me. Like last night. Please."
"Oh, yes. Yes."
The two bodies moved on the bed…
Before you read and go, let us know what you thought. I promise we won't regret it.
Each part to this story is amazing, especially being able to "hear" both voices. The epilogue actually made me laugh a little: ""You want to make love after whatever happened last night- this morning… whatever?"
"No. I want you to fuck me. Like last night. Please."
It's as if us women become delicate creations made of sugar and light once our men learn we are pregnant. It's so sweet, and protective, and reverential. We are not so delicate, but we are a little magical :)
Thanks, Stephanie, and I would agree. I think, in relationships that are even only a little deeper than the fuck buddy or one night stand, we tend to be many things to each other – in turn or even simultaneously. In partnerships destined to become families there is yet that additional dimension.
