Recently, Carolyn Liz Dissoway came across a June 29, 1915 story about her mother, one that appeared in The New York Evening Sun, a long-lost afternoon New York City newspaper.
The daughter of a prominent Methodist preacher, a man admired for his memorable sermons, Ms. Dissoway worked as a stenographer and a bookkeeper before becoming an attorney.
When asked by the inquiring reporter why she chose that profession, then-Ms. Barteau said she was "fond of study."
Editors at The Sun, displaying a literacy that was once common on newspaper staffs, hailed Ms. Barteau as a "modern Portia" in reference to the famous character in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, a young woman who disguises herself as an attorney in order to save the life of the brother of Bassanio, her fiancé. Portia was known not just for her wit, but also for her abilities of persuasion through rhetorical argument. In fact, The New England School of Law was originally named as the Portia Law School when it was founded in 1908 as a female-only law school. That institution may have also inspired The Sun's headline writer.
The paper profiled the young attorney while she was conducting an auction in Massapequa, one concerning a foreclosure proceeding.
"This was an unusual scene for any part of the world," the article, written by one Jean Hamilton, observed. "It is typical of scenes to which we are destined to become accustomed, like many others which at first touched the sense of strangeness. More and more are women lawyers becoming acknowledged by the courts for their efficiency in performing duties such as referees, receiverships, guardianships, etc."
In her interview, Ms. Barteau correctly claimed that the time would come when the state would provide for public defenders as well as public prosecutors.
At the time, Ms. Barteau, as the article noted, was "said to be the only woman to prosecute a criminal case in the State of New York and the only woman on the staff of a District Attorney."
Her daughter grew up in Port Washington and claimed her mother wore green because it complemented her red hair. Indeed, the article, written in the florid writing style of the day, describes the young Ms. Barteau thusly: "Slender and young, tailored in dark green cloth, she stood there before the gathering crowd of village folk, the sun touching rifts of her gorgeous mass of red hair, putting glints of burnished gold into it."
Later on, Ms. Barteau married and had two children. "[My mother] was a lot better at her career than at being [a] mother, but she knew that not enjoying motherhood was inappropriate behavior [and so] she pretended to love it." Ms. Dissoway recalls.
Mostly, Ms. Dissoway fondly recalls her mother's lifelong love of learning. While in Port Washington, Carolyn worked as an insurance agent to supplement her income as an attorney. She also became well-known in the area for her public talks on a variety of subjects.

Iron Maiden are nothing if not consistent. Since 1980's self-titled debut, they've been one of metal's preeminent torchbearers, spewing forth dramatic old-school, Euro-flavored arena-style metal, that to a non-fan might seem akin to Spinal Tap. The band's legion of followers, however, will rejoice at the 67 minutes of archetypal Maiden found on Brave New World. The album reunites their classic-period singer Bruce Dickinson with his longtime band following his self-imposed six-year absence. Also back on board is guitarist Adrian Smith, giving Maiden a scorching three-guitar lineup. Maiden's lyrical scope is as historic and elaborate as ever, their muscular musicality verging on the melodramatic. But that's what Maiden have always been about, and their sound is instantly recognizable on such meaty cuts as "The Mercenary," "The Fallen Angel," and "Ghost of the Navigator." Brave New World's signature time changes, guitar harmonies, and urgent vocals render moot any question as to whether it will spawn Maiden classics to rival the likes of "Run to the Hills" and "Number of the Beast." Bruce is back, and all's right on this Brave New World. --Katherine TurmanAll songs and lyrics in this album are listed as followings. Click the song name to view lyrics and videos for it.

Citrus-Cinnamon Stir Sticks
To add a little zest to hot cider, our home economists came up with these simple stirrers. Once the stirrer is added to the beverage, the orange strip will eventually fall off the cinnamon stick...but that's all right. It will continue to add flavor.
12 Servings
Prep: 15 min. Cook: 45 min.
3 medium navel oranges
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
12 cinnamon sticks (5 inches)
Additional sugar, optional
Using a citrus stripper or vegetable peeler, cut 12 strips of peel
from oranges, about 4-6 in. long. In a small saucepan, bring sugar
and water to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer,
uncovered, for 12 minutes.
Place one orange strip at a time in hot syrup; cook for 3 minutes.
Remove orange strip to waxed paper; when cool enough to handle, wrap
strip around a cinnamon stick. Dip into hot syrup; place on a wire
rack. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Let stand until dry. Yield: 1

Friday 13 January 2012: Scallops
Had a great day at Martin Wishart's Cook School.
This was the best scallop dish I have ever tasted - though I say it myself.
A very absorbing class - no time to think about anything other than cooking (and eating of course).
Learned lots, realised there is a whole lot else to learn and used lots of nice kitchen equipment that I now absolutely need to have -obviously.

Men's Hoops Remains Undefeated
Saturday, November 19, 2011
Arlington, Va. – Marymount University's men's basketball team defeating visiting DeSales 68-58 in the opening round of the 2011 Marymount Tip-Off Tournament on Friday night. The Saints remain undefeated on the season and face Springfield in the tournament finals on Saturday.
Jesse Konadu led the Saints (2-0) with 22 points while Antonio Rouse added 14 and Reed Scott chipped in 11. Scott also led all players with seven rebounds and three blocked shots.
Falling behind 3-0 in the opening minute, Marymount rallied back behind six-straight points by Rouse to take the lead and hold it the rest of the game. The Saints would lead by as many as 12 in the opening frame before taking a 25-17 lead going into halftime.
Coming out of the break, MU trailed by less than double-digits just three times and no fewer than three possessions at any time. A late rally by the Bulldogs cut the deficit from 15 to nine with 25 seconds remaining but couldn't get any closer.
Impressive from the floor, the Saints hot 54.1 percent as a team with seven players eclipsing the .500 mark from the field. Marymount also took care of business on the charity stripe, converting 24-of-28 shots from the free throw line on the night.
Brett Moyer led the Bulldogs with 16 points while Bob Zanneo added 10.
Marymount advances to face Springfield in the championship game on Saturday at 8 p.m. The Pride topped Eastern Mennonite 90-81 in their tournament opener.

The Wisconsin State Patrol released the names of the victims involved in a fatal accident.
Sara Dulmes, 28, of Westbend was the driver of the vehicle that was rear ended, and her passenger was an 8-year-old female. Her name will not be released because she's a juvenile.
Dulmes was not wearing her seat belt in the accident and died from her injuries.
The second vehicle was driven by Miguel Victor, 54, of Ripon. He was wearing a seat belt.
The Waupaca County Sheriff's Department says after a crash yesterday afternoon, one person has died from their injuries.
The crash occurred at 5:03 PM Friday, on US 10 westbound at CTH A near Waupaca.
A vehicle that was westbound on HWY 10 was rear ended by another vehicle. That vehicle that was rear ended lost control and rolled over. The driver was ejected, and was flown via Theda Star to Theda Clark in Neenah where she later died from her injuries. The passenger in that same vehicle was transported by ambulance, treated for their injuries, and released.
The second vehicle lost control and rolled over in the median, and the driver of that vehicle was treated for their injuries and released.
The Wisconsin State Patrol is still investigating the accident and doing a reconstruction of the scene. The names of the subjects are not being released at this time.

Jeff Branscome writes about Spotsylvania County.
Silver pitches Kalahari to Spotsy EDA
Emily Battle has the scoop on what happened this afternoon at the Spotsylvania County Economic Development Authority, where it was expected to discuss floating bonds for a water park in the city. The city's EDA up until today was not favoring Kalahari's request to eat the fees they charge for issuing bonds.
Silver Director of Development Scott Little was pitching the idea to the Spotsy EDA without knowing that the city EDA had already approved waiving the fees. What did he say?
- Little said Kalahari would be willing to pay the same fee it had agreed to pay to Fredericksburg on the roughly $240 million taxable bond issue. That is $59,375 a year for 10 years. NOTE: This is nowhere near the $2 million Supervisor Hap Connors mentioned during last week's meeting, but it's money the county wasn't going to have unless the EDA did this, which is all moot now.
- Little told the county EDA that Spotsylvania could have a "marketing presence" within the Kalahari resort if they issued the bonds, although he did not get into specifics about what that would entail. NOTE: Does Silver have control over who gets a marketing presence in Kalahari?
- Little also said that Silver would "be happy to pledge one of our projects in Spotsylvania County to Class A office space," since he'd heard the county wants to attract more office tenants. He did not specify which project, and he noted that the pledge would be dependent on finding tenants for such a project. NOTE: Without specifics on what property he is talking about, this might have just been that sweet stuff that's not really sugar.
- As an added sweetener, Little also said Silver would assist the county in trying to get another entrance to the Spotsylvania Towne Centre at Carl D. Silver Parkway and State Route 3. That is something mall developer Cafaro has wanted for a while. Cafaro has approached the city about condemning a piece of property that would be necessary to make this entrance happen, but several city officials have pointed out that there's not much incentive for Fredericksburg to do that, since it would put a tax-paying city merchant out of business while making it easier for shoppers to take their tax dollars out of Fredericksburg. Little acknowledged that "We don't have the say-so, we don't own the land, but we'd be happy to help." NOTE: Dear Silver, this connection has been promised for years and never has happened. The Mall has been open before you built Central Park. You also don't own the land to make such a connection.How can Silver help?
The EDA didn't really address any of these carrots that Little was dropping all over the meeting room floor.

Green shoots have turned out to be yellow weeds. The SF Fed has an excellent new piece of research summarizing just how extraordinarily odd this recession has been. In a rather succinct piece, they show just how below trend the "recovery" has been and just how damaging it has been to the US household:
"In the mid-2000s, an enormous speculative housing bubble emerged in the United States. An accommodative interest rate environment, lax lending standards, ineffective mortgage regulation, and unchecked growth of loan securitization all fueled an overexpansion of consumer borrowing. An influx of new and often unsophisticated homebuyers with access to easy credit helped bid up house prices to unprecedented levels relative to rents or disposable income. Equity extracted from rapidly appreciating home values provided households with hundreds of billions of dollars per year in spendable cash, significantly boosting consumer spending. The consumption binge was accompanied by a rapid increase in household debt relative to income and a decline in the personal saving rate (see Lansing 2005).
The persistent rise in home values encouraged lenders to ease credit even further on the assumption that house price appreciation would continue. But when these optimistic projections failed to materialize, the bubble began to deflate, setting off a chain of events that led to a financial and economic crisis. The "Great Recession," which started in December 2007 and ended in June 2009, was the most severe economic contraction since 1947 as measured by the peak-to-trough decline in real GDP.
The Great Recession triggered a dramatic shift in household spending behavior. Real personal consumption expenditures trended down for six quarters, the personal saving rate more than tripled from around 2% to over 6%, and households began a sustained deleveraging process that is still under way (see Glick and Lansing 2009).
This Economic Letter estimates the amount of consumption lost from the Great Recession by comparing the actual trajectory of real personal consumption expenditures to its pre-recession trend. The amount turns out to be quite large. From December 2007 through May 2011, foregone consumption per person was over $7,300, or about $175 per person per month."

WASHINGTON -- National Women's Health Week is from May 11 through May 17 and surgeon and patient advocate Dr. Peter Edelstein says women face many unique medical challenges.
First off, women often balk at getting themselves checked out by a doctor, since they often have so many family responsibilities.
"Women are not just juggling careers; they're often at the center of the family wheel, if you will," Edelstein says. So it's easy to think that there are more important things to do than have a doctor look at a symptom.
But it's critical to go to the doctor when people notice a new symptom, or a change in something they've already got.
"Waiting doesn't help."
And when patients in the doctor's office, it's important to speak up about concerns. Men and women have this problem, Edelstein says, but among women, "and particularly older women, it's very common ... to never challenge their doctor, or, if something's not clear, they just quietly accept it. Or if what the doctor is recommending doesn't sit right with you, you don't say anything."
"This is your health; you need to own your health. ... Ask questions; make sure before you leave, you understand the plan and you agree with it."
Great strides have been made against breast cancer in recent decades, both in the lab and among the general population, but Edelstein says there's an unintended consequence to all the focus on the disease.
"It's wonderful that women now recognize the importance of regular breast exams and mammograms, but an interesting side effect is that many women may believe that breast cancer is the only major threat to their health," Edelstein says.
Too many women don't realize, Edelstein says, that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined. And women also need to know that men and women experience heart attacks differently.
The popular image of a heart attack -- the dramatic clutching of the chest and the feeling that a ton of bricks has dropped on you, Edelstein says -- is a male thing.
"Women often have much milder symptoms, or very differnt symptoms," Edelstein says. For them, a heart attack can take the form of jaw, shoulder or abdominal pain; they can feel nauseous and get sweaty or weak.
And there are many forms of cancer with whim to concern themselves. Colon and rectal cancer is the third-leading cancer killer among women, so women need colonoscopies starting at age 50, just like men.
Of course, women who smoke are at a great risk for breast cancer, Edelstein says - - more reason than ever to quit.

Addressing African American Philanthropy
Los Angeles, CA – Liberty Hill Foundation has commissioned a study of African American philanthropy in Los Angeles for the purpose of moving beyond the question of whether African Americans give in comparable numbers to other racial groups and toward how and why they give their support, particularly for community organizing and social justice.
"Giving Black in Los Angeles is a very significant report for Los Angeles and for the African American community across America," said Kafi D. Blumenfield, President and CEO of Liberty Hill Foundation. "Historically African Americans have seen ourselves as givers and not as philanthropists, and despite our rich tradition of giving, we have been perceived by others only as recipients of philanthropic dollars.
With the financial successes of many African Americans over the last half century, that perception must change. With financial success comes greater interest, consideration and sophistication in our philanthropic efforts. Our findings represent just the beginning of intensifying interest within the African American community about our philanthropic assets and power, and how to deploy them."
Three donor profiles emerged from the report which was authored by Professor Ange-Marie Hancock, Associate Professor of Political Science and Gender Studies at the University of Southern California. The donor profiles are based on reports of discretionary income allocations, focus of charitable giving, motivation, levels of education and religious involvement.
The donors are as follows:
- The "Building the Black Community" Donor. Donors more concerned that their dollars go to organizations that target African American recipients than other respondents.
- The "Issue Impact" Donor. Donors more concerned with the issues they care about than the identity of the people affected by the issues.
- The "Hardwired To Give" Donor. Donors that embrace giving as part of their personal identity, but are also identifiable by their public as well as their private behavior.
- Giving Black in Los Angeles: Donor Profiles and Opportunities for the Future - also suggests ways in which African American philanthropy, particularly giving focused on social justice, might be grown. Ange-Marie Hancock, author of the report, said: "There are many surprises in this study. Many people who are familiar with the traditions of giving in African American communities assume we give only to the church. They will be surprised by our findings which indicate that African American giving extends far beyond the church."
- The study was made possible by grants from Rockefeller Philanthropy Associates, The California Endowment, and Tides.
[Liberty Hill Foundation is first to identify community leaders at the frontlines of change. We invest in change makers and equip them with the skills and relationships they need to build power and advance social justice. After more than 30 years, Liberty Hill is uniquely positioned to bring together forces for change and forge a common agenda for equality and opportunity in Los Angeles. Liberty Hill: Change. Not Charity. www.LibertyHill.org/GivingBlack.]

Hi Guys,As and when the chance has arisen i've been in the nearest large bike/gear shop looking for my kit. The guys in my shop of choice have been quite helpful so far (albeit I am in disagreement with them that when i'm spending 300-400 on a helmet, it should be one that isnt on display) but you can never really tell how much of it is sales banter... so I thought I'd seek the advice of the experienced....Given my "non-standard" (50/51" chest, 48" waist) body shape, and my tendency to sweat quite a bit, I've been finding it hard work finding textiles that area) Available in my sizeb) Reasonably pricedc) not going to cause me to have to dry them out and shower after I remove them I was shown/tried on a Frank Thomas Jacket/trouser combo the other day (FTW345 Tourino Aquatec). The jacket I was reasonably pleased with, although looks like i'm going to have to sew the elbow armour pockets so the armour sits in the right place... however i tried on the legs and I'd only had them on for a a few mins (2-3) and i could feel my legs getting a bit damp (I was already hot at the time but was otherwise dry). I had to remove my jeans to put htem on, so it was bare legs against the synthethic liner. My questions are (finally):a) Am I going to have to go full goretex to prevent the shower scenario mentioned above?b) what is the general concensus about FT textiles? good quality?My budget is around £300 for both the jacket and legs, possibly £400I think I'm settled on the helmet: I was looking at the Shoei Raid II, but when i saw the XR1100 had removeable liner, I knew it was meant to be

go with the XR1100 as it is a cracking helmet. For your budget you may be able to get a higher end suit on an offer somewhere. The FT stuff is ok but doesn't in my experience stay waterproof for long. Also to be waterproof it has a seperate liner that is really plastic and makes you sweat.Goretex is the way to go.Tom

never had much luck with FT,zips made of chocolate and dodgy waterproofing.
Maybe worth a trip to Hein Gericke and see how they fit, as their quality and performance imho,is exellent.
yeah definitely going with the xr1100 for my helmet... thanks for the headsup on the FT stuff... might give it a miss I was originally looking at Weise, but I haven't been able to find anywhere that stocks it locally (I'm in SW London). I also looked at HG, but they didnt seem to have alot in big sizes and frankly speaking, didnt really seem wholly interested in making a sale (Given that there was only me and 1 other person in the shop, they had plenty of time to help me out).... I had been forewarned about their legendary customer service so it wasn't wholly unexpected.I'm going back to the J&S tomorrow so I might see what other brands they have. I'm a noob to the bike world, so any suggestions re textile manufacturers that I should go for are much appeciated.

Personally, I don't like FT kit. I bought an expensive set of touring textiles
from them a few years back that felt fine in the shop but, after a while on the
bike I was soaked with sweat. Not good
when you are touring Spain. It was
supposed to be all-season kit but it was very poorly ventilated and removing
the liners (which I did before I went away) did little to reduce the thermal
properties. In the end I literally had
no choice but to stop using the trousers after a few days and continue the rest
of my holiday in jeans. I certainly
wouldn't buy FT stuff again.
The principle of you
get what you pay for applies even more so to bike gear. Those of us that ride regularly or long
distances spend a lot of time in our bike kit and it has to be comfortable and protective. It's a real ache when you can't concentrate
on your ride because your bike gear is too hot or uncomfortable.
Goretex is great stuff but other manufacturers are getting
in on the act. J&S are a good bunch
and I have shopped there myself. I find
their ISX brand to be good value for money.
I have a set of summer kit made by ISX which was reasonably priced, well
made and fantastically cool in warm weather.
It's a few years old now and is as good as new – although it does only
get used in the warmer weather for obvious reasons J
The other brand I like is Hein Gerike. My main textile jacket is their own brand
stuff and is really good quality. The
after sales service from HG is brilliant also.
I actually bought a mixed set of IXS legs and jacket with some hi-vis... not everyones cuppa tea i would imagine. I figure for the price they'll last me long enough to get a good understanding of what I should really get, and become a backup kit.I was quite happy walking out of the shop. Got my XR1100 too, and they gave me a little discount. Defo going back to them, they aren't pushy and are really helpful. Tomorrow I'm hopefully test riding an sv650s!

Got the very kit you have tried inc trousers, Yes you get hot quite quickly in the shop but soon cool down while out riding. I have learned quickly that you do not need too much clothing when all liners and thermal inners are used, a great tip is to simply wear cotton leggings and tea shirt underneath and you will be fine. Waterproof the jacket and trousers once a month with spray on Nikwax which waterproofs them great while enabling them to breath still, works for me! Also there are just enough pockets (you can never have too many) with only the inner ones with zips perfect!I'm sold!

Hi Schnell
If you go to J&S they are bound to try and sell you Frank Thomas gear. Used F/T stuff in the past and have never found it waterproof.
Just recently purchased the Richa Spirit C-Change jacket and trousers and have had no problems at all with wet weather. The jacket goes up to 8XL and the trousers 6XL.
The only problem is though that they are the coldest jacket and trousers that I have ever worn and the inner jacket that comes with it is next to useless. I am using my old Belstaf inner jacket and thermals to stay warm.
The only problem is that the RRP for the jacket is £420 and the trousers £300. However if you hunt around you may be able to get them cheaper.
Go to a shop and try a few on to get the size and then hunt around on the Internet to get the best deal.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The warden at a North Carolina prison where inmates said they were forced to rub hot sauce on their genitals has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation.
Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Pamela Walker said Tuesday that Sampson Correctional Institution administrator Lafayette Hall has been put on paid leave while the State Bureau of Investigation investigates what happened at the Clinton facility. A second employee also has been reassigned.
Six inmates allege correctional officers forced them to perform numerous humiliating acts, including gulping hot sauce and slathering it on themselves, resulting in painful blisters. The male inmates also reported being forced to simulate sex acts for the entertainment of guards, as well as to capture and kiss wild snakes while working on a road crew.

A Striping Trend
Make an impression this summer with a wardrobe packed full of stylish stripes. From vibrant and vivid to simple and classic, stripes are set to be a striking trend for the summer ahead.
To ensure you ride the striped fashion wave, we've selected a few key pieces we think you'll fall in love with – we know we have.
For starters, colour you happy in summer brights from H! by Henry Holland striped skater dress (above left). Perfect for a summer holiday, the online exclusive – purple striped dress and floral striped dresses, both from The Collection (pictured above, centre and right) will also be right at home on a sunny style promenade.
Teaming stripes with another key trend, monochrome options are a sophisticated, classic way to start with stripes. The Red Herring flower print prom dress is a chic option for laid-back summer style, while the Betty Jackson.Black striped tee is just the tee to top off your favourite pair of jeans. For ladies of leisure, the striped Star by Julien Macdonald shirt dress is bound to ensure it will be a hot date you're lunching with, not just the girls.
While stripes may be enjoying something of a contemporary twist with brights and monochrome, nautical is a classic combination that's bound for the beach, year in, year out. Dress to impress for an afternoon drink at the boating club in the Phase Eight Zahara striped dress, or pull on the Warehouse striped Marina dress (teaming with striped Faith wedges – if you want to go 'overboard') thrown on over a Beach Collection stiped swimsuit or Floozie striped frill bikini top and bottoms.
Such a stylish girl will no doubt be a busy socialite on the summer calendar, so carry a change of clothes or over-sized sunnies in this Principles by Ben de Lisi striped satchel or
J by Jasper Conran satchel bag. For added nautical effect, tie the Rocha. John Rocha scarf around the handle and see it blowing in the wind, just as you set sail.
If you have something to say this summer, we certainly recommend saying it with stripes. After all, horizontal, vertical, monochrome or colourful, stripes are so bang-on-trend right now – whatever you say, you'll be saying it with style…

Obscure Lyrics - Dir En Grey
Review The Song (3)
How many hangings under the red moon "..."
How deep will it sink inside eating skin that doesn't match?
The snake makes way through the sheets and goes inside the uterus.
It can seem like a someiyoshino; a cherry blossom petal, that dances sadly.
The stain is the moon that's fulfilled, and the vomiting at night begins.
Don't you remember?
Color of faint... the night begins and people start to awe.
Color of pomegranate... sting with the prick and disappear far away.
How many secret hangings of the premature baby tonight under the red moon "..."
Bloody Baby & Sacrifice
Don't you remember?
Color of Golden yellow... want to be the spider that stings.
Color of tears... remembering the memories.
Color of faint... the night begins and people start to awe.
Color of pomegranate... sting with the prick and disappear far away.

- MatureArtist Review by Barbara Cuthel
This book is wonderful! I loved the exercises in this book; they range from simple to complex. Both authors collaborate on some projects and they are beautiful. I recommend this book highly to anyone interested in exploring collage for the first time and for us experienced artists who need a kick of creativity.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - An Ohio company has written governors in three Southern states in a push to purchase the military shipbuilding division of Northrop Grumman Corp., pledging to keep a major Louisiana shipyard open.
Cleveland Ship LLC sent letters this week through its Cleveland Shipbuilding Division to Govs. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Haley Barbour of Mississippi and Bob McDonnell of Virginia
Northrop Grumman Corp. announced plans on July 13 to shutter the Avondale shipyard near New Orleans in early 2013 and consolidate its Gulf Coast military shipbuilding at Pascagoula, Miss. About 4,600 people now work at Avondale.
The company has said it is exploring alternatives for its Northrop Grumman Ship Systems wing, including a possible spinoff company.
Cleveland Ship hasn't said what it would be willing to pay for the military shipbuilding division, and Northrop Grumman has declined comment.
The letters cover Northrop Grumman yards at Avondale, Pascagoula and Newport News, Va.
In the letter to Jindal, Cleveland Ship said it is committed to a full-scale commercial and naval shipyard at Avondale, employing about 5,000 people. The company said it is seeking federal authorization to build ships for the Navy called fleet oilers, which transport fuel and freight to ships at sea.
Cleveland Ship also said it has been contacted by a wind energy company about partnering in the production of offshore wind energy platforms that could be built at Avondale.
Avondale is building two ships in the Navy's series of amphibious assault vessels. Northrop Grumman said it will close the yard once work is complete.
In the letter to Barbour, Cleveland Ship said the priority would be to finish contract negotiations for about $5 billion of work for the Navy and Coast Guard at the Pascagoula yard.
The company told McDonnell that it does not foresee "any significant changes" at the Newport News yard.
"Our strategic intent is to own these shipyards `for the long term' and not to resell them in a relatively short time," the letters stated.
Jindal's office didn't respond to calls for comment. Barbour's spokeswoman, Laura Hipp, said Cleveland Ship officials met with the Mississippi Development Authority on Tuesday. McDonnell's office
did not return a call Friday for comment.

About a year ago, there was a sad news story here in Arizona. One of the top high school football coaches in the state died from cancer. He was in his forties and the disease took him quickly. I think there were only six or seven months between the time he was diagnosed and when he passed away. You want to know how he discovered the cancer? He had some pain in his elbow. He thought he banged it up while he was playing with his kids on vacation, but the pain didn't go away so he decided to go see a doctor and get it looked at. Turns out he had a tumor that had started in his abdomen and progressed throughout so much of his body that he was feeling pain in his elbow. He had no health problems or warning signs prior to that, and he was dead just a short time later.
Sometimes I can't get that story out of my head. I try not to think about it, but it comes to mind and I hate it.
Unless you follow prep sports in Arizona, you probably didn't know about it. But the story you definitely know about is the Connecticut elementary school shooting from last year. I don't need to give you any details because we've already heard everything. Some sick maniac walked into a school and shot a bunch of little kids, along with some adults that were trying to stop him and protect the victims.
Nobody really saw it coming, just like the football coach never saw the cancer coming. And the stories both ended with good people dead.
We hear about things like this sometimes, you know? You can probably think of other situations where some kind of awful tragedy struck somebody down. The person didn't deserve it and it came out of the clear blue sky.
We're all sitting ducks, when you stop and think about it. Any one of us could be taken out any minute, no matter how hard we try to take care of ourselves, prepare for the future, and live responsibly. It's depressing to consider how easily we can lose everything we have, but we all know it's true and there's not a damn thing any of us can do about it.
Why are we talking about it on this blog?
I guess it's because we're all alive, which means we still have a chance to do some of the things we want to do in our weightlifting lives. All of us have goals, huge accomplishments we dream of reaching. But when we think about these goals, sometimes we get pretty wrapped up in thinking about all the obstacles that are in the way. Know what I mean? We fixate on the things that can stop us instead of figuring out how we're going to get past them.
Think about some of the goals you have. They're exciting, aren't they? These are the things that would make your whole life better. But they're not easy, and they're not just going to happen automatically. They're longshots, and you're not totally certain that you're going to be able to hit them because there are some barriers standing in your path.
The obstacles are daunting, and I think some people make the decision not to pursue the goal because they just don't think they're going to be able to reach it. It seems impossible, so they just give up. Or maybe instead of giving up, they never get started. They sit still and make excuses…giving themselves little arguments to avoid diving in. They say, "I'll do it next year" or "I'm not ready to go for it yet."
Maybe this topic belongs on a weightlifting blog because it reminds us that we're not going to get an unlimited number of shots at the things we want. Our dreams aren't going to sit there forever and wait for us to grab them. Right now, we've got hundreds of competitors preparing for the CrossFit Regionals and Games. The best weightlifters in this country are about two months away from the Senior Nationals, World University Championships, and Pan Ams. And we've even got a bunch of people like me running around...aging veterans who are way past our primes and we're fighting to keep Father Time from pounding nails into our coffins. We need to think about the things in this blog simply because we have to remember that life is passing by every single day, and we can't let it slip through our fingers. Our big chances are coming up quickly. If you're an athlete or a coach, I think this gives us a good reminder of something we all tend to lose sight of sometimes. I'm talking about the idea that you never really know when your time is going to end.
And I'm not just talking about your eventual death. I'm also talking about a time in your future when you're still alive, but your window of opportunity has passed and you no longer have a realistic shot at your goals. To me, this is even scarier than death, because it's a time when we're sitting in a rocking chair and all we can do is think about things we wish we would have done. It's just you, your gray hair, and a mental list of wasted opportunities that you can't stop regretting. You spent your youth planning to take a big risk, and then one day you wake up and realize that it just never happened…and now it never will. I think that would hurt the most.
I'm pretty sure your weightlifting will be one of the main things on your mind if you make it to that rocking chair someday. Our lifting and coaching is so important to us, and we're always going to think about it even if we live a hundred years. Do we want to look back with a constant knowledge that we had a chance at something great, but we wound up empty handed because of fear or hesitation?
I don't want that, and I know you don't either.
So let's get on with our lives, like we really mean it.

Matt, thank you for the eye-opening article. You always know what to say and how to say it.
| 2013-05-28
This is such a good article. Opportunities to shoot for a goal are rare. Take them
| 2013-05-28
Chills reading this. Be not a timid soul, who knows neither victory nor defeat.
| 2013-05-28
This article reminds me of the importance of focus, and clearing the mind of all arbitrary thoughts, because those thoughts will blemish a clean perspective of a goal. Thanks for a good read!
