Virginia Mallon is a New York artist, working in painting and photography. She is a graduate of Queens College of the City University of New York, and apprenticed with Indian Space artist Robert Barrell. Ms. Mallon later taught the children's art class at his Forest Park School of Art in Woodhaven, Queens.
Currently working out of a studio in a small wetland community called Crab Meadow, her work in photography covers the gamut between picturesque rural landscapes to urban blight, as well as addresses issues facing modern America. Her work in painting, incorporating influences of the Arte Povera moment of the 1960s, contemplates historic and mythological women and their modern counterparts.
Ms. Mallon's goal is to reflect and comment on the current state of the world, along with nautical spaces, personal histories, and the psychological undercurrents of contemporary society.
rtist statement:
I've always been drawn to the obscure, odd, or unusual in everyday life. The little secrets that are there for the discovery if you take the time to look, to really look, at what is happening around you. As an artist, my role is really that of a spy, whose mission is to watch, take note and document the stories of the creatures that inhabit the world around me.
I am drawn to the invisible because I have been invisible.
I am drawn to the every man, because I am every man.
I am an artist, because it is the only thing that gives strength and meaning to these experiences.
as an artist I have chosen to sit at the feet of society in the good, the bad, and the ugly of everyday life. But unlike the dog who sits at the feet of his "master" I am taking notes. My work is not created in a vacuum; it is a direct product of surviving contemporary America. It is about the poor, the creative, and the survivor. It is about losing and winning against all odds. But mostly it is about hope.
The hope, and drama of tiny creatures that live in abundance by the shore. Creatures fortified with shells that protect from the hazards which surround them. Alternatively, in the city, it is the daily drama of humans. Creatures who wear their hearts on their sleeve, talk to themselves, communicate in sound bites and instant messages, who grow their own crusty shells of protection while they grapple their way toward financial or sexual gratification, all the while managing to steer a course of normalcy in a wash-and-wear, made in China, make it great again, America.
there are the casualties on both sides - the abandoned, the has-beens, wanna be's, and almosts that can be found along the way, calling out for my attention. as loud and as clear as a bell, as they sit stranded, much like the crab on a beach, waiting for the tides to change, to bring them back to the sanctuary they once knew.
This is the world I like to wander in, looking for something that catches the eye of ordinary, but transcends into universal, just in the act of being.
Art helps me explain the world around me, and the role I play in it. It is the need to make a mark of one's own, a need that is inherent in the human soul, as ingrained in our instincts now, just as it was in Lascaux when we were painting in caves.

Yesterday, I finished my short series on the family. Speaking to the family has been very helpful for our church. We dealt with husbands, wives, parents, and children. But I wanted to end the series with a defining call to live in light of the gospel in all of these relationships.
The bulk of the sermon was based out of Colossians 3:12-17, the section that precedes the family directions in the book of Colossians. I set out to apply these great gospel words, which are for everyday life, towards the family. I wanted to answer this question in the sermon: How does the fact that Jesus died on the cross for my sins affect the way I deal with others in my family? I tried to take these words as diagnostic on our family life. For instance, how would we know if we are living out of the gospel? I came up with five evidences. I am not going to go into detail of each one here (check out the notes for a complete understanding of what I meant by each one).
1. Relationships Are Aggressively Pursued (vs. 12)
2. Forgiveness Is Generously Offered (vs. 13)
3. Love Is Rightly Prioritized (vs. 14-15)
4. Truth Is Boldly Spoken (vs. 16)
5. Worship Is Visibly Seen (vs. 17)
I told everyone last week that this might well be the most important sermon I have preached since I have been here. (Although, it would be easy to say that each week). My point is that the gospel message that Jesus died in our place for our sins and rose again on the third day to show that sin and death no longer has a hold upon us is so important that it affects my relationships. It is not just a message that is to be believed and isolated to self. It is one that impacts everything about my life.
I hope the gospel means that to you. It hope it has changed your eternal destiny, but I also hope that you rely upon it every day as you parent your children; as you husband your wife; as you submit to your husband--all to the glory of God.

Earlier in February, a North Carolina man and his wife filed a product liability lawsuit against the makers of AndroGel. Roger Gibby, a retired highway patrol officer, alleges that side effects of the testosterone gel caused him to suffer a pulmonary embolism and a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) blood clots in his lungs and legs.
The complaint was filed against AbbVie in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on February 10.
Gibby claims that he suffered blood in September, after receiving a prescription for the testosterone gel. Gibby stated that he began using AndroGel after viewing AbbVie advertisements that encourage older men to use the testosterone replacement therapy The advertisements asks if they are experiencing decreased sex drive, weight gain, depression or lack of energy.
Several testosterone treatment lawsuits have been filed recently by men who claim that AndroGel, Axiron, Testim and other testosterone products caused them to suffer a heart attack, stroke, blood clots or sudden death.
FDA Launches Testosterone Investigation
In January, the FDA launched an investigation into the potential testosterone therapy heart risks after two studies indicated that users may face an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
Testosterone Therapy Heart Problems
AndroGel is a prescription topical gel applied to the upper arms as a testosterone replacement therapy, for men suffering from testosterone deficiency. The testosterone treatment is sold as gels, patches, injections, implants and pills.
With aggressive direct-to-consumers advertisements, AndroGel and other testosterone drugs have seen explosive sales in recent years. Experts suggest that the demand for these drugs was created by television advertisements that encourage men to seek prescription treatments for "low T" if they are suffering any number of common non-specific symptoms. Several medical studies have demonstrated that many men receiving AndroGel and other testosterone treatments have no real medical need for the drugs.
Troubling Testosterone Medical Studies
In November 2013, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that side effects of testosterone treatments were linked to increased risks of heart attacks, strokes, and death among older men with certain pre-existing heart problems.
In January 2014, another study published by the medical journal PLOSOne found that low testosterone treatments may double the risk of heart attack for younger men with heart disease and men over the age of 65, regardless of their prior heart conditions.

The most important questions you need to ask when choosing an iron are these:
"Do I prefer an uncoated cast aluminum finish or a nonstick coating?" and "Do I like my pizzelle paper thin, or a little thicker?"

On Monday I was driving home from school, had just turned on to Murlen (only 40 mph, but gets some traffic) when I saw a dog running down the sidewalk. He stopped, turning to look over his shoulder at a woman jogging by. The woman stopped abruptly upon seeing the dog, ran out into the street, giving the dog a wide berth, then back onto the sidewalk and continued jogging. I shook my head, rolled my eyes, and turned the truck around to go check out this dog. By the time I had the truck turned around, he had taken back up running for his life down the sidewalk. I was able to pull into the grocery store parking lot about 100 yards ahead of him. I stood close to the sidewalk, and when he got close, I called him, thinking he would keep on running by. But, his eyes lit up and he ran straight to me...grateful that a human finally realized SOMETHING was not right here!
I realized he was an older guy, gray faced, and boy was he hot from all the running! It was a warm day, and with a totally black coat he was panting like crazy. He had a collar on, but no tags. I called Chris to get the Olathe Animal Control number. He asked me several times if the dog was really lost. I do have an unfortunate history of finding "lost" dogs in their own front yard, putting them on a leash, calling their owners on my cell phone, then having disgruntled owners coming out the front door or from the back yard on their phone looking at me like I am crazy. Once, in Manhattan, I found a little dog in our unfenced backyard. He was wearing a rabies tag but no ID tag, so I called the company, gave him his rabies number, they gave me his owners name, then I looked up the name and phone number online, called the owner. Owner lived next door and had just let the dog out to potty. It turned out I had stolen their dog for 20 minutes. Hmmm...do good intentions count for anything? How was I supposed to know they lived right there? Anyways, I assured Chris that this one really was lost, no owners in sight!
So, I called Olathe Animal Control from where I was, and they said they would be out to pick him up in the next few hours. I always figure the first place people will check is the city shelter. We drove around the neighborhood for a bit, scaring random people by pulling up next to them and asking if they knew who he was. No one did.
So we came home and sat in the shade in the front yard. Had some water, got to know each other a little bit better. I took his picture:
and posted it to Craigslist as a found dog. I also put it in the KC Star. He was obviously loved by a family, with trimmed ears and feet, and a lovely temperament. I hoped it was just a matter of time before they found him. Animal control showed up (very nice by the way) and he had to suffer the indignity of riding in the back. I requested he be allowed to ride in the front, but something about legal blahblahblah (damn lawyers). But, it was air conditioned (I checked), so hopefully it wasn't too bad of a ride.
I thought about him all week, wondering if I should call and make sure his family found him. Then wondering what I would do if they hadn't found him... So I didn't call. But boy was I glad to receive this email last night:
"I want to thank you so very much for your assistance with Chipper. Not only did he get out, but he lost his tag in doing such. We were frantic in looking for him as he is a much loved member of our family. We actually called Olathe Animal Control and was told that they did not have a dog matching Chipper's description. We found Chipper from your ad in Craigslist. Chipper is back home with us tonight. I cannot begin to tell you how happy we all are to have him back home. Again, thank you so very much for everything you did. It is greatly appreciated."
Oh, the warm fuzzy feelings I got reading that email! Chipper is back home with his family. A happy ending! I can imagine how I would feel if one of my dogs was ever lost, and I can also imagine how one of my dogs would feel if they were lost. I hope that someone would do the same thing for them.

FRISCOProject ID: FP4_21024
Gefördert unter:
A framework for integrated symbolic/numeric computation
Gesamtkosten:EUR 2 601 000
EU-Beitrag:EUR 1 629 000
Koordiniert in:United Kingdom
Thema(en):4.2 - Reactiveness to Industrial Needs
Finanzierungsprogramm:EST - Marie Curie actions-Early-stage Training
The aim of the FRISCO project is to investigate and develop technologies which can be used to deliver highly efficient, versatile polynomial solvers to industrial users.
There are many problems which arise in industrial situations which can be reduced to systems of polynomials. Although algorithms exist which, in theory, could provide exact solutions to these problems, in practice they are rarely used outside academic circles for the following reasons:
- Existing implementations of these algorithms are not efficient enough to tackle large systems.
- The environments in which these algorithms are implemented - typically interactive computer algebra systems - cannot be interfaced to existing scientific applications in an effective way.
Nevertheless there is demonstrable, widespread and persisting interest in applying these algorithms in areas ranging from telecommunications to automated manufacturing and robotics. Such interest provides a strong and encouraging indicator of the industrial relevance of this project. We propose to develop a new framework which will allow users to integrate symbolic algorithms and other scientific software with the same ease that they can incorporate numerical algorithms into their applications via software libraries such as NAG, LAPACK, IMSL, etc. The framework will have three major components, to meet the particular requirements of computer algebra:
- Low-level facilities providing efficient runtime support for memory management and arbitrary precision arithmetic.
- Tools for implementing new algorithms and interacting with existing ones, which provide interfaces to conventional language environments.
- Libraries of special-purpose implementations of algorithms, optimised for efficiency.
Although designed specifically for polynomial solvers, this framework could be used for implementing other kinds of symbolic algorithms. Many of these facilities will be derived from existing state-of-the-art packages, in particular the algebraic library developed during the ESPRIT project PoSSo, while others will be developed during the course of the project as the result of further research.
There are at least two potential channels for utilising FRISCO's results for the benefit of European industry. The first is by incorporating the technology developed by the project into generally available mathematical, scientific and engineering software packages. The total world-wide market for mathematical packages such as AXIOM, Mathematica, Maple, Matlab, and MathCAD is at present worth 80 MECUs per year, and is said to be growing at around 20 annually. There are already thousands of copies of these packages in use throughout European industry. The second channel is by embedding FRISCO results directly in end user applications. This task may be undertaken by users themselves or through consultancy or value-adding developers.

We are Penny Smith, June Pryor, Christine Bradley, Moira Ruff and Barbara Wigg (nee Owers), long time of Duke's Dandy, based in Retford, north Nottinghamshire (although Barbara commutes from nr Sheffield), and Sue Jenkinson, Lynette Eldon and Wendy Bolton, once (and sometimes still) of Green Ginger, a clog side from around Hull area. And there is also Jill Blackwell, who used to dance with Charnwood Clog in Leicestershire. So we bring a rich experience of clog dancing to share with each other.
Duke's Dandy no longer holds classes, but the team comes together every so often for a practice and for performances. They are greatly assisted by their very experienced musician, Ken Watson from Grimsby, on the melodeon, who is often joined by Barbara and David Wigg and Jim Eldon on fiddle.
At times, members of the team can be found giving workshops in clog dancing or individual displays here and there.
Moira continues occasional workshops in Retford and for the RattleJiggers junior clog team (contact her via Contact Page for details), and provides sessions for young people in local schools - see Rattle Jiggers page.

Cut off pointy tops of artichokes to within 1 or 1 1/2 inches of the base. Remove all but about 1/2-inch of the stem. Cut all around the artichoke, removing all of the hard parts. Open up the center and dig out the choke with a blunt-edged spoon. Trim any remaining hard parts; what's left is the artichoke bottom. Heat 1/4 cup oil in a deep, large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until it begins to soften, about 2 to 3 minutes. Lay the artichoke bottoms on top of the onion, then pour in the wine. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover. Simmer, turning the artichokes after 15 minutes, until the bottoms are tender but not mushy, 30 to 45 minutes total. Remove cooked artichokes, reserving about 3/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Cut artichokes into bite-sized chunks and return them to the pan with the cooking liquid, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and the lemon juice. Turn the heat to very low to keep them warm. Season the shrimp with salt and a tiny sprinkling of cayenne. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the butter to the hot skillet. Dredge each of the shrimp in the orange dust and place them in the skillet. Cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes, and then turn over and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Divide the arugula among 4 plates. Top each with a portion of the artichokes and 6 shrimp; pour the artichoke liquid over all and garnish with basil. Sprinkle a little orange dust around the outside of each plate, and serve immediately.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the oranges; you should get 8 to 10 broad strips from each one. Scrape all the white pith from inside the peel using a paring knife. Place the peels in a small saucepan with 1 cup water and the sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium and simmer 10 to 15 minutes or until the liquid becomes syrupy. Remove the peels and drain. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil and spread with the oil. Scatter the cooked peels on the foil; they should not touch one another. Bake until dry but not at all brown, about 15 minutes. If they begin to brown before they are dry, reduce oven temperature. Let cool at room temperature, preferably in a dry place. Crumble, then grind in a spice mill or coffee grinder until powdery. Store in a tightly sealed jar. Orange dust retains peak flavor for a couple of weeks, but it will keep virtually forever, gradually losing its intensity. Yield: about 3 tablespoons

Have you ever taken one look at your blog and thought,"If I write one more post like this someone will get crushed in the panic to find a life boat off my sinking ship!" You're not alone. The other day as I read back one of my drafts, I really just wanted to strangle myself. (Enter Becca)
Do you know Becca from I'm Pretty Sure That? If you don't you should! Better yet, I've decided to hand over the reins to my site once a week to her while I go over to her site and cause some trouble. The other day after a particularly revealing conversation when we were both being naughty (you decide how to take that), we sort of realized we share a lot of the same experiences. She's done things a little differently than I have and has become a wildly successful wedding groper. I became a moderately embarrassing back of the convertible farmer flasher. So who better to swap with?
Now I'm going over to her place to cover this week's topic: Who Do You Hate More When the Relationship Ends: The Asshole or Yourself? Everyone grab your story mats and some popcorn! Becca, they're all yours!
So at the end of every relationship I can honestly say I hate myself. This I think is true of most women. There's something intrinsic in the way we're wired that says when something doesn't work out, it must be my fault, even if the guy was the biggest asshole on the face of the earth, I always come away thinking, "well if I had just done this," or "if I hadn't done that…." But the truth of the matter is that it's easier to hate myself than to hate him. Case in point… if I admit to myself that I really hate that douche bucket I am in fact admitting that I really hate things in me, flaws in me, which I already knew existed, so it's like hating myself twice, whereas if I just hate only myself then it's not so hard… you follow me? At the end of every bad relationship I've had I've concluded the following:
1. I am a fucked up person
2. I am a total failure
3. No one loves me
4. I'm going to be alone forever
5. It's all my fault that I'm going to be alone forever
6. This probably means I'll become a crazy old cat lady
7. I'm allergic to cats
8. Now I'm really going to be alone forever
9. Which brings me back to number 1
This cycle of self- hate can go on for days…………………….. and through buckets of ice cream and tissues. Now that I've been married I'm beginning to see the error of my ways. What I truly hated was all that wasted time. Every time I look back on a relationship the first thing I always think to myself is "what a waste of time." Every moment I spent with the douche bucket telling me how stupid I was, or how ugly I am, or how I need to get down to 110 pounds were moments that I let myself get lost in. It was so much easier to accept the abuse than to fight it, because if I have to fight it that means I have to change something in me, and I just wasn't ready to go there yet. So yeah sure go ahead and beat on me, it's ok, because I probably screwed up anyway and deserve it--- see this, THIS RIGHT HERE—that's what I HATE. EVERY MOMENT that took away my sense of self, that made me believe things that weren't true, that broke my heart—but you know what—HE NEVER BROKE MY SPIRIT. It got close some days, really close, but I kept holding on, holding out for that day when I'd finally say ENOUGH.
So let me ask you this… you are probably not in an abusive relationship, and if you are, darling, honey, please GET OUT NOW, it's not OKAY, and you do DESERVE BETTER. I'll list some helpful resources at the end of this post to help you out. Sweetie, do yourself a favor and let go, and get out NOW, TODAY before your "one more time" becomes your "one last time." You are strong enough to do it. I believe in you.
Now that my little PSA is over... If you're in a relationship that is unsatisfactory to you, that has you feeling like you're just wasting time, where you're losing your sense of self, darling, you probably are. Life is too short for you to keep losing yourself in someone else's head space. It's so much easier to deny things to yourself than to accept things for what they really are. You know if your significant other is a total asshole. Don't lie to yourself. It's ok. Guess what, I promise you that there is someone out there waiting for you who is not an asshole. He/She is going to love you just as you are. FACT. He/she will encourage you to be who you TRULY are, and not change you into what they want you to be. You deserve this. The break-up is going to be hard, it's going to hurt like HELL, but when it's over and you come out the other side, things will be better because even if you hate yourself: whether it's the flaws you see in yourself, or the things you got tangled up in, or even if you hate the other person, YOU WILL BE BETTER because of your break-up. It's going to take a while, and like grieving everyone has a different length of time that it's going to take to pick up the pieces and move back on. But while you're picking up the pieces try to be KIND to yourself ok. I know it's hard. There's a thousand and one scenarios running through your head and everywhere you turn something else reminds of your past relationship but just hang tough and hang in there. When the dust settles I'm hoping you'll find that like me… I didn't really hate myself or him for that matter. I hated the things he did to me, and I hated losing myself in those things, but honestly I don't hate him, not really, well ok maybe a little bit… but you know what I definitely don't HATE myself. I may be hard on myself, my own worst enemy thing… but then again aren't we all?
So at the end of a relationship hate the things that kept you in it, and let go of the things you couldn't control. Not to worry loves, there's someone out there for all of us, if we're just brave enough to go looking for it.
Until next week,
If you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship please check on this link for help.

I received a couple more emails yesterday. One confirming that the days we want to go to CA are OK and to keep my eyes peeled for confirmations of flights, hotels and my rental car. Apparently usually you get a driver for this visit, but because Chris and I want to take a couple extra hours in LA to see Yoshi, we are getting a rental car instead. I'm not sure I want the responsibility of driving in LA, But I do appreciate the freedom it will give us.
|20 weeks pregnant with Adelia.
In Roatan.
Super exciting to know that I could be reviewing profiles within the next 6-8 weeks. But, I do want to wait till May 7 or so to do my first transfer. I'm taking an Alaskan cruise and while it won't be party central with two kids and my aunt and uncle... I so enjoy the banana daiquiris and wine at dinner. That said.... sigh.... this is a far bigger and better cause. So if it works out that way, it works out that way. I've been pregnant on a cruise before. But if I am too far along I'd also have to skip my Glacier climb, and that WOULD stink....

I find this to be true. Do you?
Once you are started and get into a routine it gets so much emeasier.
So stop giving up so you never have to start again, right? Sounds easy to say, I know. So I'll share with you my truth.
I don't workout every day and I don't eat perfect all the time. I like to live and eat and not be OCD about my food and exercise. However, even when I make food choices that bring my energy down or miss a couple workouts I DON'T throw in the towel. My last round of 21 Day Fix (over the holidays nonetheless) was proof to myself that you can still get results as long as you don't give up. I shared that I didn't stay on my food plan everyday and some days I was so far off I questioned whether it was worth continuing on. The answer was YES because I still ended the round with results that were better than when I started. The first week of January is a week that I work back into a routine after Winter break and start planning for where I want to focus my energy. I find the first week a bit disorganized and not super efficient but by the end of this week I'll be ready to hit next week HARD! How about you? Can I get a "H3// Yeah" to that?!

ELYRIA, OH — A babysitter and her fiancé face multiple charges of child endangerment after a city worker found a group of kids shut in the cargo area of their U-Haul truck at an Ohio gas station.
Police said Jamie Adkins was babysitting the five kids and her fiancé, Brian Dekam, was driving the truck.

Matthew Pearce, who works with the city's Street Department, told police that he and his colleague Nicholas Vealey noticed the children getting into the back of the vehicle at around 2 P.M. on Wednesday at the Speedway in Elyria.
He said that he prevented the driver from pulling away — and, when Dekam rolled up the back of the truck, was shocked to see the kids and two dogs in the back. "It smelled like feces and reeked of cigarettes," Pearce told The Chronicle, adding that the youngest child was strapped into a car seat and appeared to be unresponsive.

According to authorities, Adkins has been watching the children — four between the ages of two and six, and a 15-year-old — for about two weeks. She reportedly told police that she has been "like a godmother" to the children and that their mother, Kimberly Hull, was aware of the couple's road trip plans.
Police arrived on the scene, and after finding the kids in back of the 10-foot box truck, the two-year-old was treated at the scene for heat exhaustion, and later flown to a hospital for treatment.
The other children were taken to the hospital — where staff found them infested with bed bugs, lice, ringworm, and fleas.
The four younger children are now in the care of Cuyahoga County Children Family Services. The dog was removed by the dog warden.
Adkins told police they left Cleveland around 4:30 A.M. Wednesday and drove to a flea market. He claimed that the kids rode in the back of the U-Haul all the way there, and that the family was headed back to Cleveland.

We visited the Kon-Tiki museum, home to Thor Heyerdahl's exploits.
Using traditional ship building techniques, Heyerdahl and his team sailed vast distances of ocean to prove that pre-historic peoples could cross the Pacific without benefit of modern technology.
The sailors caught fish to eat and grew tan in the hot sun, surviving some crazy experiences.
Right next door was the Fram museum. The building is tall and pointy because
The entire ship is inside, with the masts just clearing the ceiling.
The Fram is legendary for its polar expeditions and was designed with a specially shaped, thick hull, so that it could be frozen into the ice during the winter and not crack.
Here's the special retracting propeller and rudder so that it would be protected when the ice closed in.
There were some playful exhibits as well.
The boys are trying out a sled dog harness to see how much they can pull.
Sled dogs work hard!
We saw these statues from a distance and couldn't tell what expedition they represented. After a moment's thought, we figured it must be Fram, since they were dressed for warmth.
We headed back to our hotel for a rest, and just as we arrived, the palace guard marched by. Apparently they do an elaborate changing of the guard a few times per week, and we happened to catch it.
Buster chose a few more fuzzy souvenirs. Here are Freddy and Teddy, his polar bear slippers. Q-ster chose a four-color pen and some playing cards featuring photos of notable Norwegian locations.
We made an afternoon visit to Vigeland Park. The scale of the park is surprising - it's huge.
The art is a little weird.
Ok, pretty weird. But the space was lovely.
And we wrapped the day with more ice cream.

According to statistics, businesses with a 15% gender diversity are more likely to outdo other companies. When it comes to businesses with ethnic diversity, they are 35% more likely to outperform those that are not diverse. These companies can outdo the others because they are considered to be open to new ideas.
Susan McGalla helps to lead the way for women to become leaders. She has worked her way up through the positions of American Eagle Outfitters. The company's executive were all men when McGalla started to work there. Before leaving the company, she had become the president. She is the founder of P3 Executive Consulting.
Susan McGalla is currently the Pittsburgh Steelers' Vice President of Business Strategy and Creative Development which is an industry dominated by men. She was confident when she started working in a company that gave her a chance to continue to move up the position as she earned it.
Not all women are getting such opportunities as Susan McGalla did. Women have been addressing the glass ceiling issue for years. The initiatives and networks for women work to offer support for women leaders and encourage them to share their ideas together. The initiatives give women a platform to plan and strategize their businesses, connect and learn the current trends from other women in the same industry.
A solution to the gender discrimination in companies can be through the creation of sponsorship opportunities. Women who are highly devoted to their careers should look for an executive in the decision-making sector to act as a sponsor. The sponsor can recommend the women to work on essential tasks and lead projects. This way the women will be able to move up the ranks in companies.
Susan McGalla
Susan McGalla was born in 1964, East Liverpool, Ohio. She attended Mount Union College and received a degree in Business and Marketing. She started working as a divisional merchandise buyer for clothes for women at American Eagle Outfitters. She served in various managerial positions until she became the president of the company.
Susann McGalla gives credit to the way she was raised for her success in women leadership. Her dad was a football coach, and she had two brothers. Growing up in such a family made her work hard for what she wanted, and she carried the lesson in her workplace hence holding several high positions.

Primary Immunodeficiency
What is Primary Immunodeficiency?
Your immune system keeps you healthy by fighting off germs. But people living with primary immunodeficiency disease (PID, sometimes known as PI or PIDD) have an immune system that is not working properly, beginning at birth. For people living with PI, infections may not go away or can come back often, even with the use of antibiotics. Infections may be common, severe, long-lasting, or hard to cure, but once correctly diagnosed and treated, people with PI can live full and active lives.
Meet Baylee
Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID), one of more than 300 primary immunodeficiency diseases, doesn't stop Baylee from excelling on the golf course and soccer field. Watch to learn more about Baylee's long journey to diagnosis and promising future.

revised version premiered January 2015; Erik Steighner, soloist; Western Washington University Orchestra
Western Washington University, Bellingham, WA
solo baritone saxophone; 2(+2picc).0.1(+bs).0.sax(s/a) - 1.1(+flug).1(bs).0 - 2perc - hp.pno - strings[min:126.96.36.199.1] - electronics
Setup instructions for the electronics may be viewed here
Program Note
This piece was written with the help of a grant from the University of Puget Sound for summer research in the Arts and Humanities, the focus of this project being the integration of live electronic performance into the traditionally acoustic medium of the symphony orchestra. Of main interest to this project was the work of composer Mason Bates, who (at the time of this writing) has been greatly involved in using the live electronic performer in his symphonic pieces as composer-in-residence with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. After studying a number of his scores, I synthesized the knowledge in the composition of this Concerto, although it should be noted that my use of the electronic performer and his are markedly different, especially in regards to the equipment set-up.
The reason this piece is a concerto and not a work meant to merely showcase the orchestra is actually slightly counterintuitive. I chose the concerto to attempt to move the electronics out of the aesthetic focus of the work. By writing a concerto, I was able to (hopefully) keep the focus of attention (for the most part) on the saxophone soloist in front of the orchestra, using the electronics as a voice within the ensemble just as one might use woodwinds or percussion. Whether or not my concerns had much merit, or whether I actually succeeded in making this blend happen, are questions for another time. The most unusual feature to this piece, however, is probably the use of the Baritone Saxophone as the solo voice. I selected it for two main reasons: firstly, it is an instrument that has to this point been unexplored in the concerto setting, and I felt that as long as I was taking the time to write a concerto I might as well use that time trying to get the Baritone Saxophone to sing adequately as a solo voice. Secondly, the Baritone Saxophone is the perfect instrument to sample in real time and loop back as a bass line, as this work does in the third movement, titled "DUBSTEP."
The intererior three movements to this work, "HOUSE," "DUBSTEP," and "BREAKBEAT," are named after modern popular dance beats that I have "requisitioned" for the purposes of this work. It is important that an audience know that I do not intend them to be authentic representations of their original form! These are stylizations and interpretations, placed within a setting where, if one is not greatly careful, such things can become sterile, cheezy, and otherwise undesireable. I belive (for the most part) I was able to avoid such pitfalls, but only by taking some liberties with the forms and structures of the electronic beats. The outer two movements, "recitation and improvisation" and "abschied" are actually the slow, emotional movements, creating a more traditionally symphonic gateway into the explorations of popular music.
This work was completed in September 2011, at the beginning of my third year of studies at the University of Puget Sound, under the advising of Dr. Robert Hutchinson, my composition professor at the school. It was then revised in Fall of 2014 and performed in this new version in January 2015. A complete performance of the work runs close to 30 minutes.

• ZOMG Donald Trump (and comrades)!
By Matthew E. Milliken
May 3, 2017
I was tickled to my cynical core Monday morning when I learned that President Donald Trump had bloviated about Andrew Jackson, one of his antecedents in the Oval Office, and the Civil War. After all, who better than Trump — who in February became the first to discover, regarding health care policy, "It's an unbelievably complex subject. Nobody knew health care could be so complicated" — to lecture the American public on history?
In an interview with SiriusXM's Salena Zito that aired Monday, Trump said the following about the nation's seventh president:
I mean had Andrew Jackson been a little later you wouldn't have had the Civil War. He was a very tough person, but he had a big heart. He was really angry that he saw what was happening with regard to the Civil War, he said, "There's no reason for this." People don't realize, you know, the Civil War, if you think about it, why? People don't ask that question, but why was there a Civil War? Why could that one not have been worked out?
There are plenty of analyses of (this edition of) Trump's dunderheaded comments; see, for instance, this Jeet Heer joint at The New Republic. But it got me wondering: Did Trump's predecessor, Barack Hussein Obama, ever speak extemporaneously about Andrew Jackson or the Civil War? And if so, had he ever made such dumbfounding remarks?

On Monday, Dec. 19, 2016, unless something unprecedented occurs, the electoral college will officially designate Donald Trump Sr. the winner of the 2016 United States presidential election.
I expect this to happen, although it should be noted that an incredible number of things about this election have been unprecedented. For instance, Hillary Clinton was the first female presidential candidate to be nominated by a major American political party, and Trump was the candidate with the thinnest (read: a nonexistent) record of public or military service.
I've experienced a number of emotions since Trump's election, including disbelief, disappointment, anger, resignation and sorrow. I also felt, for a time, something unexpected: hope.
Trump's victory speech was unexpectedly magnanimous, given the harsh nature of his campaign. The man who during the second presidential debate had threatened to jail his opponent over missing emails from her tenure as secretary of state struck a gracious note early in the address that he delivered around 3 a.m. on the East Coast on Nov. 9:
Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country. I mean that very sincerely.

On Tuesday night, I was surprised neither that U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio lost the Florida primary to businessman Donald Trump nor that he subsequently dropped out of the race for the Republican Party's presidential nomination as a result.
As it happened, I caught Rubio's concession speech while I was listening to National Public Radio primary election coverage in my car. He gave a good speech and he delivered it well; I can easily understand why some pundits thought that he would be Obama 2.0, a conservative political wunderkind who would energize American youth and minorities in a way no Republican presidential candidate has since — well, perhaps since Ronald Reagan… or maybe it's more accurate to say in a way that no Republican presidential candidate ever has.
Unfortunately, as so often happens in politics, the lofty rhetoric of Rubio's farewell speech didn't match up very well with the cold, hard facts of reality. On Tuesday evening, Rubio said:
[T]his is the campaign we've run, a campaign that is realistic about the challenges we face but optimistic about the opportunities before us. A campaign that recognizes the difficulties we face, but also one that believes that we truly are on the verge of a new American century. And a campaign to be president, a campaign to be a president that would love all of the American people, even the ones that don't love you back.
Compare that with a foreign-policy speech that Rubio delivered in New Hampshire in early January:
What became abundantly clear was this: Barack Obama was deliberately weakening America. He made an intentional effort to humble us back to size, as if to say, "We no longer need to be so powerful because our power has done more harm than good."

Earlier this week, I wrote about an analysis from the Tax Foundation that indicated that the tax-reform plans of seven Republican candidates each might increase the deficit by more than a trillion of dollars over a 10-year period. I want to explore the details a little further.
Allow me to set the stage with a brief history of federal budget deficits. The first time the U.S. budget was in the red for more than $75 billion was in fiscal year 1981, when it hit $79 billion under a plan enacted in what turned out to be the last year of Jimmy Carter's presidency. The first time the federal deficit exceeded $100 billion was the very next year, under Ronald Reagan, when it reached $128 billion. Between 1983 and 1995, the budgetary gap ranged from a low of roughly $150 billion to a high of $290 billion.

Recently, Robert Mann, a mass communications professor at Louisiana State University, wrote a Times-Picayune column panning Gov. Bobby Jindal's chances of winning the Republican nomination for president in 2016. The crux of Mann's argument is telegraphed in the headline, "Jindal's meager record at home won't get him to the White House."
Referring to America Next, a new organization affiliated with the Louisiana governor, Mann writes:
The group hasn't yet proposed a single policy innovation, so it's not clear exactly what specific programs Jindal will tout.
However, selling his vision to the nation may be a challenge. That's partly because the policy-cautious Jindal really hasn't revealed much vision unless, by "vision," one means serving up warmed-over, off-the-shelf conservative ideas. As for leadership, his modest job approval ratings provide no evidence of a deep well of affection or enthusiastic support at home.
The problem is that whatever ideas Jindal ultimately champions will emerge near the end of his tenure as governor. Republican primary voters and the news media would be justified in asking, "If your ideas are so new and compelling, why didn't you try them in Louisiana?"

It turns out that, for hundreds of thousands of Americans, despite what the president pledged, they can't keep their health plans.
That's the stark truth about Obamacare — a.k.a. the Affordable Care Act — that has come into sharp focus over the past few days.
President Barack Obama has a verbal habit of insisting on clarity in many of his speeches and off-the-cuff remarks. He could hardly have been clearer when he said, multiple times, that Americans who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it under his health-care reform plan.
Only that isn't true. CBS reports that 2 million Americans have had their policies canceled by insurance companies because they aren't compatible with various provisions of Obamacare. Understandably, lots of people are unhappy about this, and Republican and conservative critics have jumped all over this broken promise.

As the latest Washington imbroglio, Congress' wrangling over the debt ceiling, rolls toward what will almost certainly be a messy last-minute resolution, I wanted to comment on one corner of America's not-so-civil discourse.
Specifically, I wanted to examine a fairly widely held contention on the left: That much of the animus toward President Obama is rooted in racism.
Now, I have no doubt that a not-insignificant tranche of opposition to the former senator from Kenya — er, I mean Illinois — is motivated by bigotry. (Search Twitter for the president's last name and the extremely offensive slur nigger if you feel the need to prove that point, or to shake your faith in the character of the American people.) But there are many conservatives who gainsay Obama based on a panoply of other far less objectionable motivations.
The best way to demonstrate that much of the fervent conservative hatred of Barack Hussein Obama has no basis in racism is to look at the rhetoric toward prominent white Democrats.
