Customer Reviews for On Sale Orange 3/4" Pleat Single Cell Semi-Opaque Cellular / Honeycomb Window Shades
"Has a very modern and posh look"
By Shirley from Huntington Beach, CA
The product arrived on time and looks very well made. It's a beautiful addition to our living room. It gives the room a very modern and sleek look. It took husband about two hours to put it up. We were pleasantly surprised that the shade can be drawn from either side. Glad I called the 1-800 number about measurement because the instruction received was different from the website. It worked out perfectly base on the lady's instruction.View this product

The Cost Of A Life: Mine Disaster Settlement Talks Enter Fifth Day
The emotionally charged task of putting price tags on the lives of coal miners killed in the nation's deadliest mine disaster in 40 years continues for a fifth day in West Virginia.
Sources familiar with the mediation talks say the families of 13 Upper Big Branch mine explosion victims are still considering settlement of wrongful death claims with mine owner Alpha Natural Resources.
Six families settled yesterday in mediated negotiations that began Friday at a resort in Glade Springs, W. Va.
Attorney Mark Moreland represents two of the families who filed wrongful death lawsuits and accepted settlements Monday.
"While no amount of money will ever replace the loss, the conclusion of the civil litigation will help our clients move on with their lives," Moreland tells NPR.
Settlement terms will not be made public, Moreland adds, due to standard non-disclosure clauses in the agreements.
Alpha spokesman Ted Pile also declined to comment "because these are private discussions that are ongoing," he says.
Last year, though, former Upper Big Branch owner Massey Energy disclosed settlement offers of at least $3 million for each of the families of the 29 workers killed in the massive underground explosion on April 5, 2010. Eleven families accepted before this month's mediation began, but a West Virginia Circuit Court approved only 10 of the cases. The eleventh is part of the mediation talks.
Under West Virginia law, wrongful death settlements must be reviewed and approved in court.
At least 11 miners physically injured or emotionally devastated by the explosion have also asserted claims, sources say. Their cases are also being negotiated in the mediation now underway for an unscheduled fifth day.
The mediator conducting the settlement talks is Michael Rozen, whose New York firm helped determine compensation from the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Rozen's firm also mediated settlement talks stemming from the BP oil rig explosion and spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.
Last month, Alpha avoided corporate criminal prosecution for the Upper Big Branch explosion in an agreement with the Justice Department. The deal guarantees families of the miners killed a minimum of $1.5 million in compensation.
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin has said a criminal investigation continues and charges are still possible against managers and executives of Massey Energy. Federal and independent investigators blamed the explosion on a corporate culture that put productivity over safety.
"To complete the circle of justice here," says victims' attorney Mark Moreland, "everyone must now wait for the actions of the U.S. Attorney. We believe somebody needs to go to prison."

Lately my days feel like they have been thoroughly blended in a VitaMix. Keeping track of time is impossible and I savor every last second of cozy sleep. I know I'm not alone – we are all busy, especially during the chaotic holiday season! I was delighted when Tim came home this evening with a bag of these:

Portland is home to several fine doughnut shops and two of them (VooDoo and Acme) offer an impressive medley of vegan options. We are very lucky to live within a mile of VooDoo Doughnut's east side location. In fact, I have to ride my bike dangerously close to it every time I scoot off to work. The aroma of fresh-baked doughnuts monopolizes the air. Not a bad thing!
The photograph above is a bag filled with yummy doughnuts. Two are missing because I ate them. If you ever visit Portland, stop by VooDoo Doughnuts because they have some pretty unique choices.

State health officials are advising parents and doctors to watch out for a serious respiratory virus that has infected more than a dozen children in New York.
Enterovirus EV-D68 is a severe respiratory illness that can land children in the hospital.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says this year's outbreak is unusually serious.
Six other states have also seen cases of the virus, but most kids are expected to make full recoveries.
Enterovirus spreads through close contact with infected people or contaminated objects.

Taylor, who was sworn in Dec. 31, is one of many new faces gracing posts across the county in 2013. And he's the first new county commissioner in more than 20 years.
"I've always had an interest in the community and politics and I've ... served on the chamber board in the past and been involved in some of the civic organizations. I just decided maybe a year or so ago, I trended toward wanting to do more for public service and that's kind of led me to this commissioner's job, I guess," he said when asked why he became one of five who vied for the post last year.
A lifelong Bartow County resident, Taylor defeated Mike Bearden in an August runoff to replace retired Commissioner Clarence Brown. Taylor said Brown was instrumental in the transition period.
"He offered all the assistance and help that he could, but back in, I guess, around September or October, we had some transition meetings," he said. "That was his idea to set up transition meetings and we met with all the department heads, Peter Olson, our administrator, Steve Bradley, Commissioner Brown and myself all met with different department heads as well as the rest of the staff in the commissioner's office. And that took a couple of weeks. We met with them individually. They all told us what they did, what their duties were, and we kind of told them what we expected out of them and it all went very well.
"Commissioner Brown was sitting there with us at every single one of those meetings and he did a great job as far as helping the transition, as well as Steve Bradley."
During his first meeting Wednesday, Taylor got down to business, making appointments and reappointments. He said going forward his top priority, which was mentioned during the campaign, will be the budget.
"The biggest thing I want to accomplish of course is getting the budget under control — because of the economy, not because of anybody that's done anything, it's just the state of the economy that we're in," he said. "And I think that's the number one biggest challenge, my biggest goal, is to get the county back on sound financial footing. ...
"I would like to see through our economic development department — and we have a great staff there — I would like to see more good-paying jobs come to Bartow County. We've got a lot of activity going on in the south end of the county. We've got an industrial park that's second-to-none and it's ready for business."
Taylor has a background in business, owning and operating Taylor's Farm Supply, established in Cartersville in 1948 by Steve's grandfather, father and uncle. Taylor's brother Keith now will manage the store.
In addition to the farm supply business, Taylor and his wife, Sandy, are farmers, raising cattle in Rydal.
"I think my business background and experiences through my business and [my] life experiences, I think that'll help a lot in the county government, too," he said. "We've went through some tough economic times in private businesses, not just my business but throughout the county and the state and the nation. I've already been managing on the lean budget, so I think that it just fits right in with what I'm doing here with the county. I just think we need to tighten our budget for another few months or a year or so until we get through this."
Although surviving a tough economic stretch is difficult, Taylor said the county's biggest plus — the people — will help do good in the community.
"I think the biggest asset this community has is the people who live here and all the folks that are ready to work and volunteer and do good things for this community. We, by far, that's our greatest asset," he said. "We've just go so many people that's ready to volunteer and help out in this community, and the churches and the civic organizations and all the folks over at the chamber. We've got a lot of small business people that are ready to go to work and volunteer.
"Just since I've been elected I've had numerous people willing to serve. And calling me and telling me they're willing to serve on various boards and I think that's our biggest asset."
When asked what those people may be surprised to learn about their new commissioner, Taylor said there would be no major revelations.
"I've been around the community so long I'm not sure if there is a big surprise about Steve Taylor. My passion for wanting this community to do well is the biggest thing and I don't think that's a surprise to folks. … I'm pretty much an open book."
The father of four — three daughters and a late son — said his own parents were the biggest influence on his life.
"Yeah, I think my parents are No. 1. From day one, they've always been encouraging to me and then I've got a lot of people who have been involved in government. From Jack Nalley, the ex-tax commissioner — he's always been a mentor to me and advised me on a lot of things I should be doing, or he thought I should be doing. We're really close and I've got other people, friends and family that's always been close and advised me," Taylor said. "Those are people that I can look back on and say they have been real important in my life as far as the direction [of it]."
Taylor said his family was supportive of his decision to run and he looks forward to serving — just don't expect an extended stay in office.
"I don't think I'll be a 20-year commissioner. I'm 57 years old, so I'm going to see where it takes me," he said. "I'm excited about the job and the future of Bartow County. As far as years of service, we'll have to wait and see."

Race Analysis: With the Giro done and dusted Lee Rodgers takes a look back at the three weeks of racing and despite the great racing on show the debacle of the 'neutralized' descent of the Stelvio still leaves him with a bitter taste.
Roadside St. 21: The final day had arrived, the 2014 edition of the Giro was coming to an end. Although we only covered the last six 6 days, we have come away as complete fans. It is such a different event to either the Tour de France or the Tour Down Under. It's Italian-ness is what sets it apart as unique.
Giro'14 St.21 Race Report: With all eyes on Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ.fr) to take the stage win, it was yet another fast man from Giant-Shimano, Luka Mezgec who showed them all how to do it, while Columbia's Nairo Quintana won his first Grand Tour.
Roadside Report: The Monte Zoncolan was first used in the Giro in 2003 but it's quickly become one of the true legendary climbs in professional cycling. Today our man in Italy Steve took on the sights, the sounds, the spectators and the super steep slopes of the Zoncolan just before the race came through to get a feel for this beast of a climb. Heaven or hell?
Stage Report: Michael Rogers produced arguably the greatest ride of his life to become only the fourth man to win on this ultimate test of courage and climbing ability that is Monte Zoncolan. It was a truly monster stage and a great way to end the Giro in the mountains.
Roadside Report: The mountain time trial was a tough test for both riders and our Roadside reporter Steve, who took on the climb and the Italian security guards before descending to the start village to mix with the riders and tech on display.
Race Report: In the manner of a champion, Nairo Quintana consolidated his grip on the maglia rosa with victory in the brutal 26.8 kilometre mountain time trial to Cima Grappa – but it was no runaway win, with rising Sardinian star Fabio Aru running him to just 17 seconds to grab 2nd on the day and place himself just 41 seconds behind 2nd placed on GC Rigoberto Uran who was 3rd on this day of judgement.
Race Report: The Colombians have taken over the Giro and today Julian Arredondo took the stage and sealed his KOM title. In the GC; Quintana and Uran finished safely to retain 1st and 2nd overall leaving the others to fight over the podium crumbs. Another day of top action from the Giro!
Roadside Stage 17: After suffering through the snow and freezing temperatures yesterday, Wednesday's day to Vittorio Veneto dawned with beautiful weather and the promise of a perfect day race chasing. As our man Steve quickly found out though - race chasing doesn't always go as planned but it is always an adventure!
Race Report: The peloton took a day off after the recent mountain efforts and let a big group head off up the road where it was Stefano Pirazzi who won Bardiani's third stage of this year's Giro. Today was the calm after and before the storm...
Giro'14 Stage 16: This morning at 8:30am, PEZ-Man Steve Prokop rolled out of the warmth of Hotel Funivia to finally live his lifelong dream of riding the famed Stelvio. A light rain was falling, the temp was -1.5C degrees at the top, and there were only 18km to climb to the 2760m summit - how hard could that be?
INSIGHT Giro St.16: Cold weather does a lot more than cool you off - especially on a 5 hour bike ride over three high mountains. Managing core body heat, energy levels, and actually racing, become a fine and difficult balancing act, as CTS Coach Jim Rutberg explains.
Race Report: Brutal weather and three huge mountains made for an epic day that saw Nairo Quintana & Ryder Hesjedal duel to the Val Martello summit finish, and the Columbian take over the maglia rosa. It was another crazy day in the Italian mountains, snow, freezing temperatures and more, but action aplenty!
Andy Hampsten rode into cycling legend almost 26 years ago, when a blizzard engulfed the Passo Gavia, and the Giro directors refused to cancel the stage. It was epic stuff for fans, but a living hell for the riders. PEZ-fan Richard Clayton re-created the play-by-play with the help of Davis Phinney & Ron Keifel.
Anaylsis: The 2014 Giro d'Italia's Alpine weekend showed off the best racing so far, the battles to Oropa & Montecampione were epic. Rigoberto Uran repelled the attackers, but with the hardest mountains still ahead, has the race been decided? Lee Rodgers offers up his take...
Giro'14 Roadside: PEZ-Man Alessandro wraps his final day on the our Roadside coverage chasing the race across Lombardia to the summit of Monetcampione. Hours in the car and only seconds to see the race - we wouldn't have it any other way at another special day on the Giro.
Roadside St.14: In the 10th year of the anniversary of Marco Pantani's death, the Giro d'Italia pays tribute to the swashbuckling climber again with a stage finish at the ancient Sanctuary of Oropa. PEZ was roadside to witness the battles that would have made Il Pirata proud.
Race Report: Easily the most exciting racing of the 2014 Giro d'Italia so far, Enrico Battaglin emerged victorious from a three-way battle on the steep final slopes to Opora. The GC action behind showed that Pozzovivo and Quintana are still dreaming of pink, but Uran was strong enough to hold the lead. The beginning of the end?
Giro'14 St.13: Giro di PEZ St.13: PEZ-man Ale Federico has both feet planted in the top of the boot at the foot of the Alps - which made a gorgeous backdrop for today's run north from Fossano to Rivarolo Canavese and our PEZ-Clusive Roadside reportage.
Race Report: Well, whaddya know? The break made it all the way to the line of the 2014 Giro d'Italia's stage 13. Bardiani-CSF's young Italian Marco Canola made his team very happy and ensured he'll never have to buy a drink again.

"I've been in this business a long time, and it takes a lot to make me freak, but I freaked," he said. "I mean, I'm looking at not being able to get the job done without doing something drastic."
The three Lodal garbage trucks — models built in 1999, 2003 and 2006 — were all at or beyond the end of the seven-year lifespan Elliott said is common for solid waste vehicles. His department had not yet replaced them due to a lack of funds brought on by the down economy. The '99 model needed new brake pads, the '03 model had a broken front axel and the '06 model had a broken steering cylinder.
Lodal trucks, Elliott explained, are built on military-grade chassis and parts for them are not as common as those for other trucks, such as Mack or Freightliner. The steering cylinder was to be overnighted but "their overnight turned into a week," Elliot said.
Public works was then left facing a part of a normal week of service and additional pickups on the days after Thanksgiving — as city employees had two days off for the holiday — without an appropriate backup.
"The issue that we have in providing the service we provide is everything is done on a daily route. Now if we have one truck go down, it's going to be down for a week, we have two other trucks. We're OK if they both stay up," Elliott said. "But if we have another one break down we have to take a conventional, old model truck we use daily for yard waste."
The problem with that truck, Elliott said, is it requires three employees to operate rather than two.
"But that eats up another of my employees that normally does my yard waste. So here I am, if I do anything other than a two-man operation then I'm gouging into my work force. That's going to affect me in other areas. So I didn't really have a choice," he said.
CPW uses a particular type of garbage truck for the best efficiency possible short of using automated equipment. Their trucks are equipped with side loading and dumping arms for the trash cans and a two-man, standing-drive cab that allows employees to quickly exit the truck to do their job.
Such a specific style of vehicle is part of Elliott's larger plan to maximize efficiency in his department. It is a case of doing more with less, said City Manager Sam Grove.
"We look at reductions across the board outside of police and fire — obviously we're beefing that up — but we've looked at reductions across the board since 2008 and always strive to do more with less, particularly in public works," he said. "Bobby kind of led the charge, if you will, in terms of building in efficiencies in the operations down there."
However, requiring the two-man, standing-drive cab made it much more difficult for Elliott to quickly find a replacement vehicle. New models would not be available until approximately August 2013 and purchasing a Lodal was ruled out due to the difficulty in getting parts.
He ultimately found a single vehicle, based on a Freightliner chassis, that matched the department's requirements. It was the only truck available in the United States, Elliott said.
It was a truck the department had previously demoed when it was considering a future purchase. Before all three residential garbage trucks broke down, the department was planning on purchasing an additional commercial garbage truck this year and a residential one in 2013. Now they switched those plans.
GSP Marketing, Elliott said, allowed CPW to use the demo truck free of charge through the end of Thanksgiving so the department could get through the emergency.
"'If it will help you, we will ship this truck to you to help you through the holidays, regardless of whether you buy it or not,'" said Elliott as he recalled the conversation with GSP. "And I said, 'Quote me a price on it, because I can't find anything else anywhere else.'"
"The truck really was a godsend, I guess, in the fact that it was available and we were able to acquire it," he added.
The purchase came to $201,779.04, which is approximately $30,000 less than a new truck as it was a demo unit. Since the purchase of a commercial truck was originally written into the budget, Grove believed the emergency purchase would not affect rates.
"I think it works out that we can keep it in budget and make sure we supply services to both our residential and commercial users. … It shouldn't create any pressure on rates to go up, everything else being equal," he said.
An additional benefit is the new truck's increased cargo capacity, which allows CPD to make only one trip a day to the dump, rather than the previous two trips. That, and the engine's ability to operate at lower rpm while servicing customers, will cut back on the department's fuel costs.
"That should help manpower and operating expense," Grove said. "That's the silver lining to the truck breaking down, I guess."

All around the world, our oceans are in crisis. Three quarters of global fish stocks are suffering from overfishing, 90 percent of top marine predators are already gone and the ocean is warming from carbon pollution. Destructive fishing practices destroy critical ocean habitats, pirate fishing harms global fish stocks and as the ocean becomes more vulnerable—it will succumb more quickly to the harmful effects of global warming. Whale slaughter continues to put endangered species at risk and pollution from land-based sources is turning the oceans into a dumping ground.Ocean advocates must work harder than ever to chart a new, sustainable course for the oceans before it's too late.
We've made significant progress to turn the tide towards ocean conservation, but a lot more needs to be done in a short time. By working together, we can save the oceans.
A few countries, namely Japan, Norway and Iceland, continue to ignore a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling—every year they kill thousands of whales to feed a black market of illegal whale meat.
For more than 40 years Greenpeace has been at the forefront of this evolving fight to end this needless slaughter of one the most magnificent creatures on the planet. We are working to ensure that the Obama administration uses their diplomatic leverage to close the loopholes and end all commercial whaling. Read more
The waters of the Bering Sea-—between Alaska and Russia— are a rich marine environment that's home to a diverse array of wildlife. Polar bears, seals, sea lions, walruses, whales and millions of seabirds make their home here.
The Bering Sea is also one of the most productive fishing spots in the world. But, the fragile ecosystem cannot sustain this level of commercial fishing without paying a price. Read more
The problems taxing the ocean resources translate directly into what's available at the seafood counter. As consumers demand for fish grows, destructive fishing and aquaculture continues to increase to meet the demand. We are working to change seafood choices made at a wholesale level by working with supermarket retailers to make sustainable seafood the only choice available. Read more
Tuna is one of the world's favorite fish. It provides a critical part of the diet for millions of people, as well as being at the core of the world's luxury sashimi markets. But, did you know that globally tuna stocks are under threat?Our appetite for tuna is pushing the fish closer and closer to extinction. As more and more people consume tuna there has been a surge in the number and capacity of tuna-fishing vessels across the world. Read more
In order to protect the world's oceans, portions have to be left alone. That's where marine reserves come into the picture. A marine reserve is like putting a giant "Do Not Disturb" sign around an area of the ocean. These protected areas are so important to the future of our oceans—giving wildlife a safe haven free from danger. We are working to convince governments and the United Nations that marine reserves are critical to the oceans' future—especially to advocate for setting aside 40% of the world's oceans as marine reserves.

Second of all, this Alexander Henry fabric is so cute and springy! And available at Joann's on sale, just be warned that you might have to throw some elbows to get any. Someone had hidden the last bolt at my Joann's, too bad for them I found it.
Third, I am so excited for the Sewing and Quilt Expo in Cleveland in two weeks. My friend Lara asked if I was going the other week and I hadn't even heard about it. So if anyone around Cleveland wants to go, you know where I'll be.
Fourth, this is my quilt for the mountain baby quilt project. Nothing fancy, but its cute, and warm. Also fabric from Joann's which I thought was really cute. Joann's might be catching on.
Fifth- (the last I promise), did you know you can schedule your posts? I'm so excited about this. Sometimes I wonder if all this blogging work is really worth it during weeks when I'm so busy. But, now that I know I can write my posts and schedule them to actually be published in the future, it totally changes things.
Here's how you do it.....
When you are writing you post in blogger, see in the lower left corner post options? Well click on that, change the date and time to when you want the post to be published on your blog, then hit ok and publish post, and you will see a little note at the top of the edit post page telling you that your post is scheduled for so and so day and time. I'm trying it out right now, its really Sunday but it won't post until Monday when I'm probably at Target.

"We're still working on several projects through our Race to the Top work, the biggest one that is going to be influencing the most votes in the near future is the new teacher and leader evaluation system, so we're continuing to work on that and make it into an instrument that is reliable and valid and one that teachers and leaders support.
"The evaluation system Georgia had as long as I've been an educator, which is 22 years, is the old [Georgia Teacher Observation Instrument] doesn't even measure the work we do anymore and so for teachers it means a better evaluation system that truly measures what they do and can act as a road map to guide them into being better teachers."
According to www.doe.k12.ga.us, "The new Teacher Keys Effectiveness System (TKES) consists of multiple components, including the Teacher Assessment on Performance Standards (TAPS), Surveys of Instructional Practice, and measures of Student Growth and Academic Achievement. The overarching goal of TKES is to support continuous growth and development of each teacher.
"... The goal of Georgia's Leader Keys Effectiveness System is to provide leaders with meaningful feedback and to support the continuous growth and development of each leader by monitoring, analyzing, and applying pertinent data from multiple sources toward attainment of established performance goals."

"I know as a principal that always provided security for me having that extra level of comfort in my building and that when things got a little out of hand there was someone who I could call on who was there."

When your child was a newborn, coping with short nights of sleep, dirty diapers and crying spells may have hampered your ability to marvel at the incredible little person before you. When she was a turbocharged and at times defiant toddler, the nonstop effort required to keep her (and your home) safe and sound may not have given you much time to appreciate her rapidly developing abilities.
Similarly, when your adolescent experiences normal growing pains and emotional turbulence (and possibly a crisis or two) during the coming years, it may be all too easy to lose sight of a number of very encouraging and gratifying developments.
Yes, there will be a lot of problems to solve, arriving in all shapes and sizes (often when you least expect them). You will need to guide, monitor and sometimes intervene to keep the cultural wolves a respectable distance from your teenager's door. You may have to put out some fires or even an occasional four-alarm blaze.
Hopefully, through it all you will be able to recognize and appreciate in your adolescent many of the positive attributes that are common in this age-group. How and when these qualities will be expressed will vary with each individual, but be on the lookout for them — and be sure to express your appreciation when they show up:
Despite the relatively few years separating one generation from the next, most adults seem to have amnesia about their own adolescence. Parents who have already "been there, done that" may have difficulty recalling how they felt and thought between the ages of twelve and twenty-one. As you read through the stages of adolescent development in this article series, try to recall what you were experiencing during those years. Whether your effort brings fond memories, a lot of pain or merely a sigh of relief that you don't have to go through that again, you will connect more smoothly with your teenager(s) if you can remember what it's like to walk a mile in their sneakers.
Take an informal poll of one hundred adults about what years of their lives they would never want to repeat, and you will probably hear "junior high" or "middle school" most often. All too frequently, a relatively well-adjusted, good-natured child enters the sixth or seventh grade and two or three years later emerges emotionally (if not physically) battered and bruised. What turns these years into such a war zone?
First, the tides of puberty are likely to be flowing at full speed. Among other things, these generate much concern and self-consciousness about physical changes that are (or aren't yet) under way. Such worries are intensified by the marked variations in development at this age. Within the same class will be skinny thirteen-year-old boys with squeaky voices and hairy hulks who appear qualified for the defensive line of the high school football team. Similarly, flat-chested girls who have yet to experience their first menstrual cycle are mingling with fully developed counterparts who could pass for women several years older. The inevitable comparisons and insecurities can become more acute at the end of gym class if many classmates shower together.
Second, wide mood swings and strong emotional responses to the ups and downs of life are the order of the day. Physical and hormonal components contribute to this stormy weather in both sexes, although the biochemistry of the monthly cycle can accentuate the mood swings in girls.
Like the two-year-old, the young adolescent experiences life in extremes. If she gets a friendly smile from a guy she thinks is cute, everything is coming up roses. If he finishes last in the fifty-yard dash, the whole world stinks. Today two girls declare their undying friendship; tomorrow they announce they hate each other. Last summer he campaigned passionately for a new guitar; today it gathers dust in his room.
Emotional reactions to life's twists and turns, even in a stable home environment, can provoke physical responses as well, especially headaches, abdominal pains and fatigue. While any of these may be caused by the daily strain of growing up, they should be evaluated by a physician if persistent or disruptive. Insomnia, withdrawal from activities that were once enjoyed, irritability and a marked change in appetite could signal full-blown depression, a more significant problem that should be taken seriously and treated appropriately.
In addition to these physical and emotional upheavals among individual adolescents, bringing many of them together (as occurs every school day) creates a social stew containing large doses of these volatile ingredients:
Consequently, school represents more than classroom activities and homework for many adolescents. It can be a daily social gauntlet — unpleasant at best, a barbaric ordeal at worst — requiring every ounce of effort and energy just to complete the round-trip back to home base. As a result, if any physical symptom is present when the alarm clock goes off — a headache, a minor cold, too little sleep the night before, some menstrual cramping — you may encounter major resistance when you try to pry your junior higher out of bed.

While you might expect your young adolescent to come to you for aid and comfort or to take cover from the daily shellings at school, the opposite may take place. The budding (or broiling) urge for independence, combined with mood swings, extreme self-consciousness and intolerance for anything that strikes them as "stupid" or "lame," may begin to drive an alarming wedge into your relationship.
This is the age at which kids may decide that their parents are hopelessly naive, out of touch with reality, or terribly short on intelligence. Your adolescent may avoid sitting with you at church. You may hear criticism of your clothes, musical tastes and opinions. And don't even think about wearing that slightly weird hat or doing something a little unusual (such as humming your favorite tune a little too loud) in a public place — especially the mall. You may be strongly rebuked for this "embarrassing" display, especially if (heaven forbid) someone she remotely knows might possibly see it. Her concern, of course, will not be for your reputation but hers.
This apparent detachment from you and the family may extend to cutting other moorings to the past. One day your son may suddenly pack up his action figures, shove his baseball cards into a drawer and insist that you replace the race-car wallpaper that was painstakingly installed in his bedroom just a few years ago. Your daughter's dolls and figurines may suffer a similar fate. Some adolescents also choose this time to abandon cute childhood nicknames in favor of more grownup-sounding names. Don't be alarmed, and certainly don't smirk or ridicule, if you are told one day that Suzie wants to be called Susan or that Skipper is now Jonathan. Such sudden announcements that childhood is over may catch you off guard, provoking a lump in your throat or even a few tears. But welcome the transition as best you can.
During this period, early adolescents typically form and maintain strong same-sex friendships, even as interest in members of the opposite sex is growing more intense. Infatuations and crushes are to be expected, but intense romances and dating are not good at this age for a number of reasons.
Friends and peers can play a major role in reinforcing or undermining the values that matter to you. You may become frustrated by the fact that a classmate's half-baked opinions seem to matter more than all the common sense you've imparted over the years. But choose wisely if you decide to intervene because the more you complain about her newfound friends, the more vigorously she may defend them. Some streetwise vigilance, ongoing prayer and evenhanded but candid conversations about who's hot and who's not on the current friendship list (and why) should be regular agenda items for your busy week.
While the value of your parental stock may seem to be falling by the hour, you may be surprised (and perhaps a little hurt) to see your adolescent form a powerful attachment to another adult. A teacher, choir director, favorite aunt, coach or youth leader can become the object of intense admiration and attention. This common turn of events can be a blessing if the object of this affection is an ally who shares your values and goals and who moves her in positive directions. But someone with a less constructive agenda can have a significant negative impact.
Throughout the adolescent years, a number of important developmental tasks are under way. We'll look at these throughout the rest of the articles in this series.
With rare exception, adolescents develop a powerful drive to become independent, to be in charge of their daily affairs and their future. As a result, bucking the limits, challenging authority and resisting constraints imposed at home and at school are pretty much par for the course. Just as in the first adolescence of toddler days, the extent of willfulness and the lack of good judgment can at times be spectacular. And while it may sometimes seem outrageous, some degree of struggling against parental control is a normal and necessary part of growing up.
Your job in helping your adolescent complete this task is to release your grip in a controlled and reasonable manner. You still have the right and responsibility to make house rules. But when you impose (and defend) them, you need to do so calmly and respectfully. "Because I'm the Mom, that's why!" may have worked with your two-year-old, but it will rarely be appropriate anymore. Few things exasperate and discourage a teenager more than being treated like an immature child, even if it may seem appropriate (to you) at the time.
Even more important is linking your adolescent's blossoming independence to the realities and responsibilities of adult life. He will need hundreds of age-appropriate reality checks before he leaves your nest, and you are in the best position to provide them.
Your adolescent is (or soon will be) in the midst of intense physical changes, especially during the early years of this period. Virtually all systems in the body are involved, but those affected by new surges of hormones will generate the most attention and concern. Three issues will dominate the landscape:
"What's happening to me?" If your adolescent has not received some advance warning about the changes of puberty, a friendly and factual huddle about this subject will be most reassuring. Even if your teenager already appears quite mature physically, the impact of hormones and rapid growth on emotions, energy and various parts of the body may not be clear to her — or you. Your input and, if needed, her physician's can calm many concerns.
"Do I like this body?" Adolescents are keenly interested, at times seemingly obsessed, with body image — both their own and everyone else's. As a result, comparisons with others are always in progress. Whoever holds the winning ticket in the physical sweepstakes — the most attractive features, the knockout figure, the well-sculpted muscles, the athletic prowess — will nearly always reign supreme where teens gather. But even those who would seem destined to appear on a future cover of People magazine will struggle with doubts about their appearance and worthiness.
No matter how well assembled your teenager might appear to you and others, from her perspective someone will always seem to have a better package. Negative comparisons with that person — sometimes amazingly unrealistic — are likely. And an adolescent with an obvious physical deficit may be cruelly taunted by peers and develop a lifelong preoccupation with appearance. Accepting one's body and taking appropriate care of it are important tasks to be accomplished during this transition to adulthood.
Your job here is a delicate one. Your teenager will need generous doses of reassurance that worth is not dependent on appearance, even when the culture around her says otherwise. You will have to endure the fact that any positive comments you make about looks, temperament, accomplishments or inherent value may not be met with expressions of thanks. It may appear that what you say doesn't count, but it does — in a big way.
One challenge for parents will be to find the fine line between making constructive suggestions and being a nag. Your adolescent's preoccupation with looks may not necessarily translate into specific actions to improve them or to appear pleasing to adults. In fact, at times the opposite will be true. The current "dress code" at junior high, for example, may decree an extremely casual, semi-unkempt look in order to appear "normal." As will be discussed later, within limits, generational differences in clothing and hairstyles may not be worth a family battle.
But sometimes you may need to take the initiative. If he suffers from acne, he'll need your help and some professional input to bring the blemishes under control. If she is clueless about clothes, Mom or a savvy relative may need to help rehabilitate the wardrobe, a project that does not need to be expensive. If weight is a problem, tactful efforts to move the scale in the right direction may improve your adolescent's self- image and general health. These efforts should be positive, stressing healthy foods and activities for everyone in the family without focusing all the attention on one person. If there is a major problem related to food — whether an unhealthy obsession with thinness, or weight that is far above the norm for an adolescent's height — professional help should be sought from a physician, dietitian, counselor or all of the above.
"Will I respect this body?" Whether or not they are comfortable with their physical appearance, adolescents must decide how they will care for themselves. Lifestyle and habits established at this age may continue well into adulthood, and it is never too early to establish a healthy respect for their one and only body. Prudent eating habits can be modeled and encouraged, and you can also point out that exercise isn't merely something to be endured during PE class but is also worth pursuing (in moderation) for its own sake. Unfortunately, some teenagers who harbor a mistaken belief that "nothing can happen to me" choose to engage in substance abuse, sexual misadventures and other risk-taking behaviors that could establish long-standing negative habits or leave permanent physical (not to mention emotional) scars.
Your work in this arena should have begun years ago, and if this took place, your child's concept of respect for his body will have roots dating from the preschool years. Even so, reasonable vigilance, good role modeling and forthright and open conversations about risky behavior will need to be on your agenda until your adolescent has completed the transition to full independence.
The impact of peers on adolescents cannot be underestimated. The right people crossing their path at critical times can reinforce positive values and enhance the entire process of growing up. The wrong individuals can escort them into extremely negative detours or suck the life out of them.
Your job is to pray with utter abandon for the friends your adolescent will make over the next several years. Without being too pushy about it, make every effort to make friends with your teenager's friends. If your home is the most teen friendly in the neighborhood, chances are the troops will gather under your roof or in your backyard and respond to your influence in the process.
Because peers can play such a serious role for good or ill in your teen's life, you will need to be forthright and directive about where and with whom his time is spent — especially in the early years. If the drama club, 4-H, Scouts or athletic teams provide a consistently healthy niche, by all means encourage them. But if a new "friend" who manifests an abundance of toxic language and behavior enters your adolescent's life, don't hesitate to take some defensive measures. This may include insisting that they spend time together only under your roof with an adult on the premises (and no closed bedroom doors). If it becomes apparent that your teenager is being swayed toward destructive habits, however, reasonable measures to keep them separated will be necessary.
If your church has a strong and active youth group, do everything you can to support it and your teen's involvement in it. But if your youth group has gone stale or has become a clique zone, find another one. The program should honor your family's faith and values, of course, but should also accept all comers, build positive identities and be fun as it promotes spiritual growth.
Whether they are National Merit Scholars or total nonconformists (or both), adolescents are fervently searching for a clear sense of identity. Whatever the guise or getup, the questions they continually ask boil down to these: Who cares about me? and What can I do that has any significance?
If the answers are "my God, my family and my close friends" and "impact the world in a positive way," your main task — and it usually will be a pleasant one — will be serving as cheerleader and sounding board as your son or daughter finds the best track on which to run.
If the answers are "my friends (and hardly anyone else)" and "have fun (and hardly anything else)," the ultimate outcome could be more unpredictable. Most adolescents with this mind-set eventually grow up and find a productive niche, while some stay in this shallow, meandering rut well into adulthood. Some also drift into drug use or sexual activity in their search for the next diversion — and ultimately pay dearly for it.
For the teenager whose answers are "no one" and "nothing," if different answers are nowhere on the horizon, the consequences may be more serious: depression, acting out, even suicidal behavior.
Obviously, it is important that your child enter adolescence with some clear and positive answers to the questions of caring and significance. During the coming seasons, he will probably ask them often and in many different ways — some of which may catch you way off guard. Even if he has lost his bearings or abandoned common sense, you will still need to communicate that your love and his significance are unshakable. As in earlier years of childhood, you will need to enforce limits and help him make some course corrections until he is on his own. But he must always know that your fundamental love for him will never change, regardless of grades, clothes, a messy room, dented fenders or more serious issues.
One of the most important and life-enhancing aspects of adolescence is the process of looking at a variety of activities and interests. If her childhood interests in Scouts and piano lessons don't continue into the teen years, don't count your time spent in those activities as wasted. She may want to explore drama or gymnastics for a while, and they may become her new passions — or she may discover that the piano really is her true love after all. Your encouragement for her to find and develop her strengths and perhaps to overcome what she (and you) might have considered her weaknesses will pay off in many ways. Not only might she find a niche of true excellence and accomplishment, but all of these activities — even the ones that don't pan out as permanent interests — will broaden her fund of knowledge and experience. Furthermore, your support during these efforts will repeatedly affirm her value.
This is also a time during which many young people develop and hone a social conscience. Altruism often peaks during the teen years, and she may find considerable satisfaction in helping others solve problems and in volunteering to serve in worthy causes. Teenagers can be surprisingly empathetic to the suffering of others, and they may go to great lengths of energy and time to lend someone a helping hand. You will obviously want to encourage selfless and sacrificial behavior — at times you may find your own conscience stirred by your adolescent's willingness to love the unlovely.
You should model practical concern for the needs of others and at the same time offer guidance as to the parameters of your teen's involvement. For example, your daughter might want to rescue a friend from an abusive family situation by inviting her to stay at your home. Perhaps you are able to offer a safe haven — certainly an honorable and meaningful action — but you will also need to walk your daughter through some of the realities and details that may not have occurred to her in the rush to help. If you have a particularly generous and tenderhearted teen at home, you will have to pass along a little street wisdom to help prevent her charitable instincts from being soured by encounters with users and abusers who might take advantage of her.
The adolescent years are a crucial period in an individual's development of a worldview — the basic (and often unspoken) assumptions that govern attitudes, decisions and actions. Young people often make decisions during their teens that will set a course for the rest of their lives. Many make permanent spiritual commitments at church, camp, or other events and continue to mature in their faith as the years pass. But these are also years during which fundamental questions about God and the universe are asked, and parents may find their own beliefs (or lack thereof) held up for inspection.
Many teens feel the need to chart a different spiritual course from their parents during these years, a development that can make parents feel very uneasy. What if he turns away from God and all we have taught him over the years? Before you lose too much sleep over this question, remember that your child must eventually make his own decision whether or not to follow God. You can't do it for him. In fact, to some degree an examination of what he has heard as a child is a healthy process because he must understand eventually how his faith applies to adult situations and problems.
Your primary job will be to keep your own relationship with God thriving — which should include meaningful time in prayer for your child(ren) on an ongoing basis. Spiritual vitality that consistently manifests genuine joy, peace and other positive expressions will ultimately communicate more to your adolescent than a lot of clever (or convoluted) answers to his questions. In matters of faith (and in other arenas as well), teenagers are particularly responsive to honesty and integrity and turned off with equal fervor by hypocrisy.
If his need to assert his independence from you spills into the spiritual realm, you may need to entrust his growth in this area to other adults (or even peers) who can positively influence his view of God, faith and the world in general. Youth leaders, teachers, young couples or single adults, or other friends of the family can often "stand in the gap" for you in this area. Do what you can to encourage these contacts and interactions (without being pushy about it) and then leave the results in God's hands.

Paul and Barbara Zitzewitz give $200,000 to support science education and teaching facilities at UM-Dearborn
May 19, 2009
DEARBORN / May 19, 2009---Prof. Paul Zitzewitzs influence on science education at the University of Michigan-Dearborn will not end with his retirement. Paul and his wife Barbara have made of gift of $200,000 to be used to support science teaching facilities and programs in the Department of Natural Sciences on campus.
Zitzewitz retired from active faculty status on April 30 and was named professor emeritus of physics by the U-M Regents at their May meeting. The Zitzewitzes made their gift in 2006, with the condition that it be kept anonymous until Pauls retirement.
In recognition of their gift, Room 1022 in the UM-Dearborn Science Learning and Research Center will be named the Zitzewitz Science Education Laboratory.
Paul Zitzewitz is one of the pioneers of science instruction at UM-Dearborn, having taught thousands of students since joining the faculty in 1973. He wasnt long at UM-Dearborn before the question of how to teach physics became as important to him as physics itself. Partly he credits his wife, Barbara, with sparking that interest.
A chemist and teacher, Barbara Zitzewitz also taught courses at UM-Dearborn from 1975 to 1983. Later, she had a variety of other jobs supporting the use of computers in education and developing instructional software products.
It was Barbara who helped inform Pauls thinking on theories of how students learn, and shared with him research on how to make a science curriculum more successful for students and teachers alike.
Paul and Barbara Zitzewitzs example also helped encourage their two grown children to pursue academic careers. Eric Zitzewitz is associate professor of economics at Dartmouth College; Karin Zitzewitz, who earned her Ph.D. in anthropology at Columbia University, is teaching at Michigan State University
