Skip to comments.Newt's Southern Strategy Won't Work (Tokyo Rove alert)
Posted on 02/09/2012 4:12:08 AM PST by jimbo123
Newt Gingrich's remarks Saturday night after the Nevada caucuses and on NBC's "Meet the Press" the next morning proved that presidential candidates should talk policy, not process.
Proclaiming "We want to get to Georgia, to Alabama, to Tennessee," Mr. Gingrich said primaries in the South would produce "a series of victories" that by the April 4 Texas primary would make him "very, very competitive in the delegate count."
Well, the Gingrich Southern strategy faces big obstacles, starting with Rick Santorum and Ron Paul. Demanding that these two candidates drop out so he becomes the only conservative alternative to Mitt Romney hasn't worked.

"Demanding that these two candidates drop out so he becomes the only conservative alternative to Mitt Romney hasn't worked."
Demanding? Gee, karl. Embellish much?
***presidential candidates should talk policy, not process.***
Newt is the only candidate who has policies, principles and solutions to our current crises.
No-one can compete with Newt's vision and experience - which is why the media and RINOs are promoting these primaries as a 'horse-race' - all process and propaganda.
Newt is Secretariat and Man-o-War.
Rove is a twisted backstabber.
His love for poser Romney is destroying the GOP
and America's last chance.
I'm sick of Rove, but Newt probably is done in by Santorum in the North.
Rove. Sheesh. One of the WORST. In the tank for Romney. Open borders, Rockefellian freak. Never took responsibility for advocating an open border situation for eight years which essentially resulted in the deaths of many more Americans on American soil at the murdering (or drunk driving) hands of ILLEGAL ALIEN INVADERS, than those Mexicans (as bad as it was) snuffed out under the Obama's brilliant "Fast and Furious" open border/violence condoned the other way program. The nerve of KR to show his fat face and spout off at all these days. This is NOT the future of my Republican Party.
I voted for Santorum here but Newt won South Carolina so unless his campaign collapses before Super Tuesday he will win the South hands down.
I see Santorum and Newt as the two final front runners with Romney only having enough delegates to keep anyone from getting the magic 1144.
It's sure gonna be a hot time in Tampa brudder!
I predict Ron Paul will win VA as the only non-Romney cancidate. Gingrich and Santorum supporters know Paul can't win the nomintation, so it's a safe anti-Romney vote.
FOX News may have 'jumped the shark' over mittens
Fair and balanced is Juan McCain
I for one have had enough of the wisdom of Bill Kristal, Chas. Krauthammer, Ted Baxter, Bret Beahr, Toyko Rove, Ann Colter, Chris Wallace, Sean Wannabe, Dana Parino, Brit Hume, Shep Smith, Judge Jeanene, Alam Comes, Bob Beckle, Juan Williams, Whoraldo, et. al. all acting the part of the Romney cheerleading squad
I'm not sure Newt can win outside the south but he does pull votes from Romney in the south. Santorum on the other hand has shown that he can win outside his comfort zone.
In any case, both need to stay in for now and I'm actually wishing Ron Paul some luck in Virginia.
Actually, no one knows if he did. He claimed he had over 15,000 signatures on nominating petitions BUT the party didn't verify the truth of that claim.
He got a special break from the Fascist Pigs who run the Republican party machinery in Virginia.
Now I'm not a Ron Paul supporter, but that jerk is the ONLY person on the ballot besides Romney, who got there only by cheating.
I will show up with several hundred people to vote FOR PAUL because that's how you vote AGAINST ROMNEY.
You would think that would matter to supposedly conservative voters.
Nope. Its all whomever makes me feel good at this moment.
It is simply a pathetic sight to behold.
Anybody that gives it that much thought would just write in their candidate. Most would just not vote.
Do not slander two of the greatest race horses this country has ever produced. And do not use principles and noots name in the same sentence.
Many of us in here VA will be voting for Paul in the PRIMARY (NOT the General Election!!!) for the express purpose of denying Romney any delegates. For those who somehow have missed it the GOP-E here in VA, spear-headed by Gov McDonnell, has gerrymandered the GOP Primary so that( ONLY ROMNEY'S and PAUL's NAMES APPEAR ON THE PRIMARY BALLOT ...and "NO WRITE-INS" ARE ALLOWED!!! In essence, we are disenfranchised.)
There was a thread addressing this on FR yesterday attempting to explain our strategy to Conservatives who didn't understand that to stay home and not vote on primary day = a de facto Romney "landslide." Before that thread could get past the first 50 posts the admin moderator "pulled it." The reason given: "No Ron Paul."
Please understand; I have no use at all for Ron Paul; but, in this specific case in VA; "No Ron Paul" = "All Votes for Romney" and a "landslide" victory that will give all the delegates in VA to Mitt.
I have no wish to contradict whatever guidelines/policies Jim wants to enforce via his moderators; this is his site and I fully respect and support that. I would; however, urge the admin moderator(s) to look intelligently at what we are proposing; and, if necessary, discuss this w/Jim.
This is a VERY unique and unusual situation in VA and it needs to be looked at strategically; not dismissed with a perfunctory "one rule fits all; No Ron Paul" approach that is, frankly, as LTG Honore' loved to opine; "Stuck on stupid."
If anyone has a better strategy to combat the VA GOP's "Romney Only" Pseudo-Primary debacle; please share whatever ideas you may have w/all of us highly frustrated VA Conservatives!!!

I've had a ham steak in my freezer for about 2 months. I think I bought it on sale at the supermarket and I had immediate ideas on what to do with it but I ended up doing nothing, instead. Gradually, it became buried beneath packages of frozen peas and meats wrapped in freezer paper. It would probably still be in its frosty hibernation if I didn't notice that I had, not one, but two bags of great northern beans in my pantry. Soup!
Partnered with some fresh kale, this is one of the most warming, satisfying, umami-laden bowls of goodness. It's also ridiculously easy to make. Being from Virginia, I've grown up on ham, (Smithfield, Virginia is about half an hour from my parents house) and while I love making a whole ham for a party or family gathering, I'm not always in the mood for a weeklong "leftover ham" commitment when it's just us. That's where a ham steak is perfect. Just enough of that smoky, salty meatiness for one meal. If you don't use these cuts regularly, you should! I add them to a potato gratin or macaroni and cheese before baking. Paired it with a salad, it's a complete meal, with minimum fuss.
Kale has been in the food spotlight for several years, and deservedly so. Adding this nutrient-dense, leafy green to this and many soups and braises just makes sense. It's high in Vitamin A, C, Calcium and Potassium and it's a natural anti-inflammatory.
Plus, kale is sturdy, it stands up a thick potage. Spinach wilts in an instant, while kale gives texture and even a little chew to this soup. I really like that.
This dish is perfect for a cool fall evening, or an easy weekend lunch. Enjoy!
Smoked Ham, Kale and White Bean Soup
- 1 16 oz bag great northern beans
- 12-14 cups water divided
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 large ham steak with ham bone trimmed of fat and diced
- 3 medium carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 medium white onion peeled and chopped
- 2 cups kale tough stems removed, chopped
- Pour beans into a large heavy stockpot. Using your fingers, sift through the beans to find and remove any foreign materials or damaged beans. (I have found a stone or two in my beans before - so don't skip this step).
- For overnight soak: Cover beans with about 2 inches of water. Place lid on the pot and let soak overnight.
- Short on time? Quick soak your beans: Place beans in a large saucepan with 6-8 cups of water. Bring to a rapid boil on medium high heat. Boil 2 more minutes. Remove from heat; cover and let stand one hour.
- Drain beans and add 6 cups of water, chicken stock and bay leaves to beans. Cover and bring just to boiling over medium high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently with lid tilted, about 1 1/2 hours, until beans are tender. Remove from heat.
- Ladle out about 2 cups of beans and cooking liquid and set aside. Add ham, ham bone, carrots and onions to beans and simmer 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, add reserved beans to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Pour the puree into the soup pot and stir. Add kale, cover and simmer 20 minutes more. Serve.

Cardiovascular health is "a tremendous story of scientific research," according to Dr. Michael Lauer, deputy director for extramural research at the National Institutes of Health. "Heart disease is the quintessential example of the scientific method really working to help public health," he says. Through research, scientists find ways to treat the disease and continue to look for new treatments.
Here's an example. Dr. Donald Lloyd-Jones, chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Illinois, notes between 2000 and 2010, the American Heart Association (AHA)focused on reducing the death rate from heart attack and stroke. "Their goal was a 25-percent reduction in that decade, and they achieved more than 30," he says. "We think it's a combination of better control of risk factors and better medical care."
Lloyd-Jones chaired the AHA team charged with establishing new goals for the decade from 2010-20. "We wanted a new construct of cardiovascular health," he explains, "so we did a careful, science-based review of people with good cardiovascular health and came up with our 'simple seven.;" These factors are
"All seven are modifiable, all actionable," Lloyd-Jones says. "If you can make an improvement in just one area, it can have a profound impact. For people with ideal levels of all of the seven, it acts like the fountain of youth. They live longer and healthier with a better quality of life at older ages. We spend less money on them. They also have less cancer, depression, and other chronic conditions like arthritis."
To help determine your own heart health, take the brief, interactive My Life Check survey, which requests information about the simple seven factors.
"When you see what your snags are," says Lloyd-Jones, "you can click right through to really wonderful content and come up with a very positive actionable plan. A very small change can make a big difference. You can pick that one thing you want to improve and find help to do it. There's real empowerment there."

Project Scope
Our project will focus on augmenting All Hands Active, a local "maker space," and other similar collaborative, self-organized maker spaces.
All Hands Active is a member-run organization focused on sharing tools, supplies, and knowledge to facilitate creation of all different sorts, from knitting to software programming to circuit building. It is located in a small basement space in downtown Ann Arbor, and features a laser cutter, Dremel, and three-dimensional printer amongst hundreds of tools, Arduino pieces, and various supplies.
Motivation & Preliminary Observations
Our group started by observing several different environments individually or in pairs. Eventually we decided to focus on All Hands Active. The space is disorganized on many levels: the physical area is chaotic and crowded with notes, tools and supplies; projects are not recorded or documented; and expertise is spread across the membership, with no organization of which members hold knowledge in which areas.
Another dimension of the organization is that the members are proud of the free spirit of the organization, and are averse to being overburdened with required processes. This is an ideal environment for augmentation and automation, as these things would make the space work smoothly for all members without requiring members to perform additional onerous busy work.
Ideation Process
Our group started by meeting together and brainstorming interesting environments and populations. We went out in pairs or individually to perform unstructured observations for a few hours each at the University of Michigan central campus, the University of Michigan Art Museum, and All Hands Active.
We reported back a few days later with our typed up observations, photos, interview notes, and preliminary sketches. After talking about our observations, we decided to move forward by creating individual sketches of ideas inspired by the spaces we observed. At our next meeting we reviewed the sketches, discussed the different spaces, and decided to focus on All Hands Active. Finally, we performed a structured group brainstorming session using the "colored hats" concept, which resulted in three polished whiteboard sketches.
We kept our sketches purposefully vague, allowing them to point out target areas for augmentation without over-focusing on exact details at this early stage. To create each sketch, we first drafted broad storyboard descriptions, then drew each panel that we had described.
Selected Individual Ideation Sketches
Proposed Concepts
Concept 1: Tool and Materials Location
All Hands Active is crowded with literal hundreds (perhaps thousands) of different tools, materials, and supplies from many different crafting disciplines. One recurring theme in our ideation process was the idea of using micro-location services and other near future technologies to make tools easily located within the crowded space. We drew this as a concept separate from other ideas, but it is something that could benefit the space in any situation, and could easily be incorporated as a feature in other ideas. Locating small specific objects in a cluttered environment is also an ideal target for augmenting human memory, especially when the space is shared and items may be moved by many individuals at different times.
Our sketch shows a simple scenario in which a user needs to find a tool, the user is directed towards the tool, and the tool reveals itself from the chaos to the user.
Concept 2: Instruction
One problem that came up in interviews with members of All Hands Active was the fact that knowledge is spread unevenly throughout the organization, and often it is hard to know who to consult about a project or about using a specific tool. The only knowledge sharing that occurs is at meetings centered around certain topics, which occur infrequently and only at the whim of individuals. Several of our ideas focused on the idea of storing and reusing this institutional knowledge and providing means of cataloguing and retrieving it easily, without interrupting the easy-going atmosphere of the space. The exact methods differed, with some ideas focusing on video, others on live streaming between maker spaces, and others on smart tools that record who is using them and what for. Instead of focusing on individual memory augmentation, this concept is concerned with augmenting institutional memory, which is a worthy goal not only for All Hands Active, but for many different sorts of environments, especially those of an educational nature.
Our sketch shows a user working on a project, requesting and then receiving help on the project, presumably placed there earlier by another member, and then successfully completing the project.
Concept 3: Social Facilitation
All Hands Active has a secondary purpose as a social space, and the social nature serves a practical purpose of sharing knowledge and skills. The members interviewed complained that a constant struggle was to connect members, to complete larger, collaborative projects, and to know simple information, such as when another member would be present. Our group came up with several ideas focused on sharing projects, sharing ideas, and bringing members together. This concept focuses on a combination of individual and institutional memory, combining members knowledge about themselves with the institution's knowledge about its members in a way that enhances the experiences of all the members.
Our sketch shows a user who needs help on a project. That user is guided to another member who can help them, and together, they successfully complete the project.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about older adults (age 65 and older) with cancer and their overall health by completing a survey called a "geriatric assessment" (GA). A GA is designed to gather information about a patient's nutritional status, mental health, spiritual health, social support, and memory. In addition, it informs health care providers about how well you carry out your daily activities and collects information on the other health problems you may have.
Sleep disturbance, particularly insomnia, is a common problem for cancer survivors. Insomnia can be described as excessive daytime napping, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty staying asleep, or waking up earlier than you would like. Insomnia can increase fatigue, impair physical function, impair immune function, cause circadian rhythms (known as your biological clock) to be disrupted and decrease quality of life. Because there is no ideal standard of care for effectively treating sleep problems in cancer survivors, the purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of three different treatments for improving sleep problems and determine which is best. The three treatments are yoga, survivorship health education, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

A fact that many musicians need to consider -
Excerpted from Graham Cochrane's email newsletter:
"I don't see Mixing as the place to be "innovative".
Songwriting, Arrangement, and Production is."
– Kenny Giola
I couldn't have said it more simply or completely as that.
Mixing, while important, is not the place to be innovative.
The place to push the boundaries and go buck wild with every ounce of creativity you have is WAY sooner than that.
It starts back in the songwriting phase.
Simply write a better song!
Write a more innovative song!
Write something truly new and original!
But it doesn't stop there.
Then craft a fresh and compelling arrangement of that great song."
- Graham Cochrane, RecordingRevolution.com
So quite simply, work up those songs before ever walking into a recording studio, or pressing the record button on your home recording rig!!
Keep in mind that the Recording Engineer's job is to give you back what you are giving them!
And the Mixing Engineer's job varies, but essentially it's to find a proper balance of all of your song's parts,
- so all of those parts can be heard, and help to tell the story.
Sure, there is room for creativity at the Mix stage, but it's all to better serve the song and it's arrangement!!
Trust The Process!!
Have a great song you want to record and mix?

Open Wallet Part 2 Den Wall
07th October 2015
With the den floor stripped I was ready to remove the wall between the den and formal living room. I carefully laid out on the wall what I wanted to remove and started the demo.
Once I had the sheet rock removed I was able to fin tune the actual opening. I made minor adjustment to make sure the load on each end transferred below the floor to an original foundation pier on one side. the other side I will poor a concrete pad and use a floor jack to support it.

One major hurdle I have with the media gallery is that all images/video/photo's are displayed on the same level when accessing the media manager.
I would like to have the ability to create folders to place my media into when I upload the media. Also have the ability to later move media if I so choose to. --obviously have to maintain 'link' to posts even though the path would have changed.
One of my sites has over 250k photo's, not wordpress. I can't even imagine trying to manage that much media in a single folder view. That alone keeps me from using wp for myh photo sites.
I also like to upload media via my custom plugins or theme options panel into the media gallery. Being able to save template images into a template foler would be nice. I dread the day that one of my 'mini admins' decides to go through and delete older images that are not attached to posts, not realizing they are theme images.

Obama's lost summer
At the start of the year, Democrats were convinced they'd finally cracked the code.
They'd spent years testing and refining their message on health care reform. They had a popular president to push the effort, and Democratic majorities in Congress to support it. The public seemed receptive to big changes.
Story Continued Below
Eight months later, the effort is in serious trouble. The White House is almost back to Square One, struggling to break through with a message that has undergone several major course-corrections and on the defensive against wild charges that caught Democrats off-guard.
What went wrong? Bearing the brunt of some of the criticism is Obama himself — once viewed as a sure-fire closer, now facing grumbling on the left for letting critical months slip by without a constant, coherent and consistent argument. Think "change" and "hope" from the campaign, catchwords that Obama practically trademarked. In this fight, his key messages have shifted, from fixing health care to fix the economy, to "stability and security" for people who already have insurance.
And this week, he returned to an argument Democratic strategists said shouldn't be part of the pitch this year — trying to convince Americans they have a "moral obligation" to help people without insurance, a discredited argument from the reform effort under President Bill Clinton.
"I don't think the messaging has been very clear," said Celinda Lake, a leading Democratic pollster on health care. But more so, she added, "the campaign to disseminate the messaging has not been as relentless and organized as it needs to be."
Said Drew Altman of the Kaiser Family Foundation, "The whole debate drifted in a direction that was disconnected from the core concerns of the American people."
Democratic strategists see signs of hope in Obama's recent moves, by focusing on insurance reforms that can provide more security for middle-class voters who are already insured.
Now they want to Obama to do more: Pick one message and stick with it. Steer the Democratic fight over the public insurance option out of the headlines and into the background. Stay above the fray and let his top aides fight the point-by-point policy battles.
In other words, return to being the inspiration leader that Democrats rallied around in the campaign, these strategists said.
"The president does need to get back on the high ground as the moral compass of why reform needs to happen and not spend much time down in the weeds arguing points of policy," said Anne Kim, economic program director at Third Way, a centrist policy and strategy group that has produced messaging memos on health care. "His job is to tell people health care reform will remove a tremendous burden."
Democrats fret that Obama has ceded the summer to critics who packed town halls to shout at lawmakers — and whose arguments seem to be taking hold among the public at large.
A new NBC News poll found Obama's approval rating and voter support for health reform was largely unchanged from a month ago. But nearly half of all voters believe some of the "myths" being spread through the Internet and amplified by Republicans, including that the plan includes coverage for illegal immigrants and amounts to big-government takeover of health care.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs acknowledged this week that the administration has stumbled on messaging.
"I don't think anybody here believes we've pitched a no-hit game or a perfect game," Gibbs said. "I don't think that's the case."
Dan Pfeiffer, the White House deputy communications director, said the president isn't discouraged by the ups and downs of the debate.
"This was never was going to be easy, if it was, it wouldn't have happened decades ago," Pfeiffer said. "While the pundit class in this town loves to pick winners and losers on a daily basis in concert with the cable news cycle, the fact is that we have made unprecedented progress toward enacting health reform and are confident on success in the long run."
But there have been zigs and zags through the past eight months — a far cry from Democratic dreams of one consistent, poll-tested message that would resonate with voters start to finish.

By Tamara Barber
I recently made my first trip to Bogota, Colombia to present on international social media research at the Second International Congress on Market Research, hosted by the Colombian market research association (known as ACEI).
Anyone how knows me well knows that I'd be hard pressed to turn down a trip to Latin America, and this happened to be my second trip to a market research conference south of the equator. In the Spring, I visited Peru to be a part of their advertising association's second conference on market research. And I'm not the only Yankee making the trek to these kinds of events: Annie Pettit was treated like a research rockstar at a Venezuelan conference in June, and Lenny Murphy's experience in Chile last month compelled him to ponder Latin America's role in the market research revolution. A trend is afoot.
Is the Latin American market research industry poised for a renaissance of sorts, or is it just that we blogger types happen to be on the radar down south? It's no secret that Brazil is very interesting to global brands right now, and the bigger economies in South America are giving rise to a new middle class that is piquing the interest of companies looking for new growth opportunities. It follows, then, that the market research industry in these countries would mean brands have more desire to better understand and communicate with Latin American consumers. In fact, according to recent ESOMAR data quoted at the Colombian conference, the Latin American market research industry has grown at a rate 13.9%, compared to single digit growth in the rest of the world. And, it's worth noting, too, that market insights are becoming important to local businesses that aim to reach either a broader swath of people in-country or export more products to a global audience.
Both local and global research associations are promoting a culture of conversation and information sharing in the region. For example, ESOMAR has regularly been holding Latin American conferences for the past few years; Alejandro Garnica of Latin American research industry alliance ARIA is working to unite various regional associations; and I also spoke at global conference co-hosted by CASRO and ARIA in Miami this spring.
This is all goodness for the industry and for the region. But does it mean that Latin American researchers will lead the charge on innovation? Well, in Bogota, I saw an industry grappling with issues that are relevant to any market researcher: things like panel management across countries, shopper insights in the digital world, what to do about social media data, what to do with neuroscience, trendspotting, and the redefinition of market research as a more strategic competency. The speaker line-up was world class, with thought-provoking presentations and leaders from both north and south and from across the Atlantic.
Some stories we've heard again and again – social media is hot, mobile is a new frontier in Latin America – are true, but with important caveats. With regard to social media, challenges still remain to pinpointing comments from in-country, especially when there are relative few country-specific social media outlets. On the mobile front, mobile phone penetration in general may be impressive, but – according to research I heard – smartphone penetration is stagnant at 2%. And, when it comes to online survey research, bear in mind that internet service can be spotty and slow, and to many consumers the notion of a survey is still somewhat foreign.
This isn't to say that the excitement about the prospects aren't worth the hype. I've been completely energized – giddy even – from my experiences in the past few months. I sincerely believe that this is just the beginning of dialogue we will see in Latin America, and I hope to be an ongoing part of it. I'd encourage us all to approach emerging markets with a balance entrepreneurial spirit to try new things (absolutely!) and healthy pragmatism to ensure that we are still having conversations on how get the basics right as well.

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI
Dissertation (UNI Access Only)
Outcome assessment (Medical care); College athletes--Wounds and injuries--Treatment;
Evidence-based practice is embraced by nearly every healthcare discipline to improve healthcare delivery and improve patient outcomes. An appropriate health care outcome is one that is both clinically relevant and meaningful to the patient. Consequently, important patient outcomes may vary for every patient population. Therefore, as a precursor to evidence-based practice is identifying meaningful patient outcomes.
To establish meaningful patient outcomes, healthcare disciplines first learn from their patients the aspects of their health that they deem most important. The most direct approach is to talk to the patients to capture their experiences and understand what contributes to their health. Then, once the meaningful outcomes have been identified, they are organized and aligned under a new or existing and accepted outcome model so they can be applied and measured.
The most prominent model is the World Health Organization's (WHO) International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). The ICF classifies health, disability, and functioning according to: impairments of body functions and structure, activity limitations, participation restrictions, and personal and environmental factors. For athletic training, a profession that has recently begun to embrace evidence based practice, the aspects of health that are meaningful to their patients has yet to be clearly identified. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify health related outcomes that are meaningful to athletic training patients following lower extremity musculoskeletal injury. A qualitative approach involving semi- structured interviews was used to identify meaningful outcomes among patients. The sample consisted of 20 college athletes (10 males, 10 females; 20.1 years +1.83) that were in the final stages of recovery following a lower extremity injury within the past year. The injury required medical attention by a certified athletic trainer or physician and prevented them from competing in their chosen sport. The interviews allowed the participants to describe their experiences and the outcomes that were most meaningful to them through the various stages of recovery, with special attention towards the later stages of recovery. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data saturation guided the number of participants. Data were analyzed using the Framework Approach by linking appropriate ICF second-level domains and the corresponding first-level domains.
The results revealed that patients recovering from lower extremity musculoskeletal injury identified a variety of meaningful outcomes related not only to physical benchmarks related to activities, their environment, and participation, but to psychosocial barriers linked to personal identity and mental functions as well. Furthermore, these meaningful outcomes could be classified under 63 ICF second-level domains, which corresponded to 19 ICF first-level domains. Fifteen of the 19 first-level domains were classified as major themes that identify outcomes that are meaningful to athletic training patients. Whereas most of the outcomes identified by athletic training patients overlapped those identified by patients in the general population, there were several items that were unique to athletes and represented higher levels of function and ability. These results provide a framework for classifying and ultimately documenting athletic training patient outcomes. Future research should identify items which can accurately assess these higher levels of ability and compare the identified outcomes to existing instruments to determine if they reflect the outcomes identified by patients. In addition, these results also bring the psychosocial impact of musculoskeletal injury on college athletes to the forefront as well. It is essential for healthcare professionals to consider the impact of injury on all aspects of a patient's well-being, both the physical and the psychosocial, when addressing meaningful outcomes in college athletes during recovery.

A decade ago, much of the cleantech sector was still at an early stage. Experts often asked, "Will these technologies ever be 'real'?"
Fast-forward to today—what was then nascent is now commercial. The cost of solar installations has dropped by more than 70 percent since 2010. Electric vehicle sales reached 200,000 in 2017. More than half of all households now have smart meters.
But there's still more work to do. Solar energy provides only 1 percent of U.S. electricity. Electric vehicles represent only 1.2 percent of U.S. vehicle sales. And, too few utilities actually use smart meter data for managing electricity demand and integrating distributed energy resources like rooftop solar and batteries into the grid.
Science can create the technologies of tomorrow and continue to facilitate the transition to clean energy. But today the fundamental obstacle to greater adoption of cleantech isn't science—it's scale.
Good economics are essential for achieving scale. Emerging digital technologies like blockchain will likely play a role, as will innovation around business models and finance. Good design, better systems integration, and smart algorithms can be critical factors as well.
Outside of these technical elements, there's something else that can be a powerful accelerator of scale: people. But how do we reach them?
A scientist eager to present a new discovery or prototype can easily forget that others (i.e. non-scientists) may not have the technical expertise or the context to see its potential. The same is true in many fields. Policy wonks, environmental advocates, and financiers each work in their silo of expertise and speak the native language of that discipline.
Statistics, spreadsheets, and graphs may motivate experts. But what about people who don't spend their days thinking about climate change, sustainability, or environmental justice—let alone voltage and current, sensors, or irrigation systems. What about everyone else?
That's why cleantech needs artists.
Artists and scientists have much in common. Both work at the edge of the unknown, exploring new concepts and new solutions that do not yet exist. Both experiment with new techniques. Both understand that failure is an opportunity to learn and an opportunity to integrate those learnings into another new approach.
But where artists differ from scientists—and where their power lies—is in their ability to translate abstract ideas into something that communicates with people not just intellectually, but emotionally too. Not everyone will like every painting, sculpture, dance, or story. But when art connects, it inspires. It helps people to see the world in a new light, and it can motivate them to act on those feelings.
Los Angeles is a city of artists, makers, performers, and storytellers. Los Angeles is also a city of innovators, and a place—because of its size, population, and diversity—with inherent scale. That's why it's an ideal place to tap into the power of art to help people from different industries and different cultures imagine a future where innovation enables sustainability and communities are transformed.
The Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI)—through its expanding ecosystem of partners, innovative approach to collaboration, and recent launch of an Artist-in-Residence program—is challenging all of us to imagine a clean and sustainable future for Los Angeles and cities around the globe. We know now that cleantech is real. What we need are more leaders like LACI to help bring cleantech into our lives and communities at a massive scale.

Membrane protein kit may lead to better targeted drugs
Many pharmaceuticals may soon become better targeted and more effective with the help of new technology developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory.
This technology, the Rhodobacter Membrane Protein Expression System, received one of this year's R&D 100 Awards. These prestigious awards, known as "the Oscars of Innovation," recognize the most important scientific and technological breakthroughs of the year. The winning invention, developed by Argonne biologists Philip Laible and Deborah Hanson, enables its users to easily generate large amounts of membrane proteins.
Membrane proteins are proteins embedded into the surfaces of cells that carry out vital processes necessary to the cells' survival. They act as gatekeepers, controlling which drugs can access the cell. These proteins can make or break a drug, and are so important in disease that more than half of all new drugs in development target membrane proteins.
For researchers to design better targeted drugs, they need to know the structure and functional characteristics of these membrane proteins. Determining these characteristics is difficult, because researchers need large amounts of membrane protein to characterize their functions and map their structures, and sources are scarce.
Few prior technologies were able to produce membrane proteins in large amounts, in part because membrane proteins are finicky and difficult to work with. They cannot function in water, so the proteins must be protected by a layer of membrane almost immediately after they are generated inside the cell. Otherwise, they will degrade from exposure to an incompatible environment.
Laible and Hanson sought to change this. With their new kit, membrane proteins can be produced in unprecedented quantities. "This kit is the first of its kind to be designed specifically for the production of membrane proteins," Hanson said.
The kit has the capability to produce large quantities of protein because it uses Rhodobacter, a type of bacteria that naturally produces many internal membranes, providing the cell with greater capacity to sequester more foreign membrane proteins. Because Rhodobacter is also easy to culture, Laible and Hanson hope that someday the cells will be used as "factories" for membrane proteins.
The Rhodobacter system avoids the challenges that have typically dogged membrane protein manufacture through the innovation that Hanson and Laible developed. In the kit, membrane proteins are synthesized at the same time as the membranes that house them. "It's the intricate coordination of these events that allows the whole system to work," Laible said. This breakthrough shortens the proteins' exposure to inhospitable environments, preventing them from degrading.
The two processes occur together because they are triggered by the same signal: oxygen. A drop in oxygen levels both tells the Rhodobacter cell to synthesize the desired membrane protein and prompts it to generate more membrane. As a result, this kit affords researchers greater control. This trigger can be set automatically, left overnight without the need for a researcher's presence, or initiated manually by the researcher.
Laible and Hanson say that pharmaceutical companies stand to gain the most from this new technology, due to the prominence of membrane proteins in drug design. The Rhodobacter system is currently available through Argonne, and the researchers are seeking industry partners.

The first public workshop performance of The Latin Quarter: Maclovia Ruiz and the Missing Beat by Alejandro Murguía will take place on Thursday, June 28 at the new Brava Cabaret in San Francisco. Developed in collaboration with MP+D as part of its Archive Live series, this year's performance / installation is inspired by the career of dancer Maclovia Ruiz (1910-2005) and San Francisco's Latin Quarter.
At one time pre-1950s the Latino community was based in North Beach and because of the numerous nightclubs in the area featuring top name Latino performers and Latin American bands, the neighborhood was known as The Latin Quarter, a center of bohemian art and culture. It was this bohemian ambience that would attract a new generation that would later be known as The Beats.
Out of that artistic milieu of the then barrio of North Beach would emerge Maclovia Ruiz, an exceptional dancer of Mexican origin who would eventually reach national and international acclaim and perform with such dance luminaries as Adolph Bolm of the Ballets Russes and San Francisco Opera Ballet, George Balanchine, and the great Spanish flamenco maestro Antonio Ruiz Solar.
The performance / installation -- reminiscent of the 1950s -- will feature the career of Maclovia Ruiz with original material from MP+D's collection, as well as a narration by Murguía, recounting the history of Ruiz, the Latin Quarter and the missing beat of San Francisco.

By Sister Chan Khong
Dear friends, thanks to your generosity, we received $512,000 through March 12, to help the victims of last fall's flooding in Vietnam. Our monks in the Tu Hieu Institute, where Thay was a novice, were able to bring urgent relief to 97,850 families in desperate situations in Thua Thien, Quang Tri, Quang Nam. Quang Ngai, and Binh Dinh, and to 780 teachers in nongovernmental schools. The nongovernmental teachers work in remote areas, where the government has not established schools. Ordinarily, the parents pay tuition for their children, but now people hardly have enough to eat, so no one could afford to pay these teachers. The $512,000 distributed to 97,850 families was only enough to give each family a blanket and $5.00, the cost of 32 pounds of rice.
It is now Giap Hat—the season when the new crops are not yet ripe and the reserve from last year's harvest is gone. These are hard months for peasant farmers along the coast of Central Vietnam, where the flooding was the worst. In the past, many farmers survived by borrowing money at high interest rates— sometimes as much as ten percent per month. Some even sold their children to rich families in the city. These children are not adopted, but work as domestic servants for the families for an indefinite period of time. These child servants are fed, but not sent to school, and their owners can beat them if they are dissatisfied.
But this year, everyone—rich or poor— was wiped out by the floods. Everyone is poor. No one can afford to lend money, even at high interest. They must wait for government or humanitarian help. Right after the floods, a great number of bodhisattva groups came to visit and bring help. But the number of such groups has dwindled and visits to help have become more rare, so that now, almost four months later, the sufferings are almost forgotten.
There is so much work to be done to recover from the floods. In the six hardest hit provinces, at least 70,000 families are living under rotten roofs, in dangerous and unstable homes. Small bridges were washed away or need repair to make them safe. Many schools were partially or totally destroyed. The children need new tables, chairs, and school supplies. Although the floods carried everything away, these children were so happy to go back to school, even without tables and chairs, that they just sit on the dirty floor to study.
We need your generous support to help rebuild their schools, homes, and farms. We do not have enough money to feed everyone right now, so we try to pay the nongovernmental teachers' salaries of $20 per month, and to buy tables, benches, books, notebooks, and pencils. We also try to feed the youngest children, so they have at least one meal a day. Most of these children come from families with almost nothing to eat. It is heartbreaking for the nuns and monks to see children cry for their food and parents cry, because they are powerless to help. Any amount you can give is welcome and appreciated. Please send contributions to Unified Buddhist Church, Green Mountain Dharma Center, P.O. Box 182, Hartland-Four Corners, VT 05049, USA.
If you have the chance to visit Vietnam, please stop at Tu Hieu Temple, Thong Thuong 2, Thuy Xuao, Hue City (Central Vietnam). There, you will see monks practicing mindfulness like the monastics in Plum Village, Green Mountain Dharma Center, and Maple Forest Monastery. They are relaxed and peaceful. Each week, they also share the practice of mindfulness with sick or elderly people in nursing homes, or with lepers on remote islands. Some teach mindfulness to poor children living in the mountains. These same children attend small classes in nongovernmental schools, thanks to your generous donations. Spring is coming. May the mind of love in you bloom like a spring blossom!
Sister Chan Khong, True Emptiness, is the author of Learning True Love. One of the first members of the Order of Interbeing, she worked with the School of Youth for Social Services in Vietnam during the 1960s, and has been a student of Thich Nhat Hanh for over thirty years.

Marketing & Web Design for UK Funeral Directors
DBS has been helping funeral directors with advertising and marketing in the UK since 1996.
Our aim is to use the internet and traditional printed media:
- to ensure families think of your firm first at their time of need
- to protect and grow your firm's market share
- to get more locally from the pre-payment market (away from the "big boys")
One of our first clients was AW Lymn in Nottingham and we are fortunate to have been referred to other funeral directors by Jackie and Nigel since then.
Our clients include:
- Walter Craven Limited - Funeral Directors in Merseyside
- HD Tribe - Worthing
- WA Truelove - Sutton, Surrey
- Beverley Funerals - Yorkshire, Lancashire, Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire
- Levertons - London
Rather than dealing with hundreds of advertising solicitations we offer funeral directors the chance to have one point of contact for all print and internet advertising.
We help with day to day management of your marketing and advertising functions to take the pressure off you. Our philosophy is quite simple..… we do all the work but you stay in charge.
We track and record costs so that at any point we can tell you exactly where you are at with your marketing spend.
We are sensitive to the fact that some funeral directors are keen to maintain the relationships that they have with churches and religious organisations. Some clients want to retain day to day contact where we are just required to design and produce artwork while others are happy for us to deal directly with all solicitations and publishers.
We typically help funeral directors with adverts for:
- Church diaries
- Parish magazines
- Newspapers
- Yellow Pages
- BT Phone Book
- Thomsons
- One off adverts
We also offer a full range of web related services that include:
- Website design
- Online Book of Remembrance click here for more information
- Search engine promotion if your site doesn't do well in search engine results
The organisations that you have contact with may vary greatly. Some publications may be photocopied by a churchwarden whilst others have embraced the latest technology. Either way is fine with us and we are mindful that we represent you at all times.
Our knowledge of printed directories means that we can normally free up money from print to fund web development and internet marketing projects.
Please contact us on FREEPHONE 0800 988 8366 for a free no obligation discussion of your needs.

What better time to talk about prayer, and celebration in prayer, than on a day when many people across the United States are celebrating the moment that they received independence from Britain… or at least celebrating a day off work? And that is the Subversion of the Day: celebration in prayer. Once again, to a seasoned activist or a civil organizer/disorganizer or a monkey wrencher (which i am not yet any of these), this may seem like folly. What would being celebratory in our prayers do at all for subverting the powers?
More than you think, obviously.
To answer this, and to move along through the topic of prayer, i want to take a look at a portion of Jesus the Christ's life that is represented in the Book of Matthew, Chapter 21. In the beginning of this section, Jesus was coming to Jerusalem on a mission that he had already been explaining to His followers- he was going to die. But to lead up to that moment, there were opportunities to teach, heal, and fulfill Hebraic prophecy along the way. In this first case, Jesus makes appropriate arrangement to enter Jerusalem in a pretty powerful way- as a coming king. And it seems pretty apparent that they people agreed because as he rode in on a borrowed donkey, they shouted "Hosanna to the Son of David! Hosanna in the highest!" So what does hosanna mean? It meant save, savior, or emphatically, SAVE US NOW! These people celebrating His arrival believed that He was the promised Messiah who would return Israel to it's former glory and save them from Roman occupation. This is further verified when they call him Son of David, which was to say he was the true heir of the throne of David the great king, as opposed to the person that was currently on it.
So… what does this have to do with prayer?
Oh, yeah. In our prayers, as we come face to face with God through Jesus (see the post from the other day), we must celebrate the Savior that came, that is present, and that is coming again. We must celebrate that he came as the savior, but not to give Israel earthly power again, but to free the whole world from having to wear the chains of sin and death, to be able to choose life and love. When we pray in a celebratory fashion, it begins to destroy the foundations of a world that wants us to mourn, and says we refuse to cry anymore about the evil you propagate, but we choose to celebrate the One who has freed us. He said that we will be comforted, so lets believe Him now, and celebrate. Subvert the powers today.
God blesses those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
-The words of Jesus, Matthew 5:4

TSMC patent application US20130207218 "Novel Condition Before TMAH Improved Device Performance" by En-Ting Lee, Kun-El Chen, Yu-Sheng Wang, Chien-Chung Chen, and Huai-Tei Yang proposes to improve remaining thickness uniformity in BSI sensors (TMAH is Tetramethylammonium Hydroxide etchant).
It's known that the backside etch stop in bulk BSI process is not that efficient as one in SOI. So, some systematic backside etch variations are inevaitable. TSMC proposes to learn these variation patterns and put an implant on the backside to compensate them:

Police in Istanbul were searching Monday for an American tourist who has been missing for a week.
The Associated Press reported that authorities were reviewing security camera footage in an effort to track down Sarai Sierra, 33, a New York City woman who was vacationing alone in Turkey. A police official told the AP the search for her is focused on Istanbul's Taksim neighborhood, where Sierra was staying at a hostel.
American media reports indicated that Sierra's passport and cell phone both were found in her room at the hostel.
Sierra is married with two children, aged 11 and 9. Family members said they last were in contact with her Jan. 21, the day she was to begin her trip home from Istanbul. She reportedly told family members she intended to take some photos of the Galata Bridge before leaving. The bridge across the Golden Horn inlet of the Bosphorous is a popular tourist site about a mile from the hostel.
The Dogan news agency in Turkey reported that police have determined that Sierra made a trip to Amsterdam in the Netherlands Jan. 15 and also apparently spent several days in Munich, Germany before returning to Istanbul Jan. 19. Police were searching for a person Sierra had been in contact with on the Internet, but did not say whether they believed that had any connection to her side trip from Turkey.
Sierra's husband and a brother reportedly were flying to Istanbul to aid in search efforts. The brother, David Jimenez, told the AP Sierra's children had not been told their mom was missing.
Is Turkey safe?
As the AP report noted, Turkey is generally considered to be a safe destination for tourists. In fact, noted European travel expert Rick Steves touted the country Sunday at the Chicago Travel & Adventure Show as a destination Americans don't visit enough.
"I love Turkey," Steves said. "Turkey has an image problem."
He suggested that some Americans may have trepidation about traveling to a country with an overwhelmingly Muslim population, but noted that the country has a secular government with a constitution that includes a separation of "mosque and state."
Steves cautioned, however, that Istanbul may not be an ideal destination for the first-time overseas traveler. He suggested "minimizing culture shock" by visiting Britain and/or other western European countries first.
"I worry about anybody who's never been out of the United States flying into Turkey for two weeks," he said.
A friend was supposed to accompany Sierra on her trip to Istanbul, but had to cancel, according to family members.
Obviously, one missing American tourist doesn't mean people should begin cancelling trips to Turkey. When I compiled my list of the 12 safest countries for Americans to visit in 2009, Turkey was an honorable mention selection.
One of the sources I used to compile my list was the State Department's database on the "Death of U.S. Citizens Abroad by Non-Natural Causes." Only two Americans died in Turkey from July 2011 to June 2012, the last full 12-month period for which data is available. One U.S. citizen was a homicide victim in Bodrum, a popular tourist port on the Aegean Sea, and another died in a car accident in Orhangazi, a city south of Istanbul near Lake Iznik.

School & Library Binding: 32 pages
Publisher: Carolrhoda Books (November 2010)
Blurb: It's Valentine's Day and Ruby won't let anything spoil the celebration! In this follow-up to the popular Love, Ruby Valentine, Ruby's favorite day of the year rolls around again, and she and Lovebird work feverishly to plan the perfect party for everyone in Heartland. But when Valentine's Day arrives, an unexpected snowstorm threatens to ruin all of Ruby's plans. Will Ruby find a way to save the day, or will everyone in Heartland have to wait until next year to celebrate Another heartwarming tale of a girl who discovers the true meaning of Valentine's Day.
Review: Some picture books really grab at your heartstrings as you read them to some little person you care for. Laurie Friedman's Ruby Valentine Saves the Day is such a book. Ruby is a charming story guaranteed to wrestle a smile from anyone who reads this cute story while admiring the adorable illustrations by Lynne Avril (I dare you to go through the 32 pages without chuckling). The story is about Ruby who lives on a mountain named Heartland along with her bird, aptly named Lovebird. Though not mentioned, Lovebird looks like a cockatoo and he helps Ruby prepare for her favorite day of the year—Valentine's Day. Together they create invitations then mail them off to the townsfolk. As soon as the mail carrier is out of sight, they go about preparing since having a party is a very important deal. The house must be spotless, the decorations all set. Except there is one thing Ruby forgot about—the weather. Still, she busies herself with getting ready. The morning of the big day Ruby looks out her window to find the mountain blanketed with snow. Oh no, what about the party?
What I really liked about Ruby was her smile and character. Valentine's Day is her day and with some improvising—or rather, a wonderful suggestion from her bud, Lovebird—she does not let a little thing like snow get her down. The two pack a sled and head out to take the festivities down below for everyone to enjoy. That two page spread as they travel down was reminiscent of a similar scene in Dr. Seuss' holiday classic, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. My son loved how Ruby's best friend is a boy bird and how Lovebird talks and always helps out. I smiled at Ruby and Lovebird's matching pink earmuffs and scarves. Avril's creations with their pastel pinks and blues, made this story sparkle into something special. With the help of her neighbors, Ruby learns party favors or location don't make a celebration special; the people you are with do.
Ruby Valentine Saves the Day is a wonderful picture book--a small story with tremendous heart. Share this with someone you love any day of the year.
Rating: We loved it.
Cover comment: Charming and cute. Love Ruby's expression and Lovebirds' is priceless.

If you take a look at the kind of fence line bunks we supply and the craftsmanship and dedication in detail that goes into each one, you're more than likely going to get a good idea that welding has a rich history. It's obvious from the work that we do that each product we produce comes from a long line of people that have perfected the craft before us.
There are a few notable dates on this timeline we'd like to share with you so you can have a good idea that the wonderful welding projects we accomplish have a rich history behind them.
The president of the United States at the time, Woodrow Wilson, established The United States Wartime Welding Committee of the Emergency Fleet Corporation. Like the name suggests, it gave those early welders a chance to feel patriotic by contributing to the war effort.
Around the same time there were other advances in welding which led to the modern seamless methods we use to put together fence line bunks that are durable and economical at the same time. For example, alternating current was used for the first time in 1919 but surprisingly enough didn't catch on as a common method to use for welding until the 1930s.
The roaring twenties saw some interesting developments as far as welding was concerned not the least of which was a monoplane fuselage that was welded together for American billionaire Charles Lindbergh.
There were developments in other countries which would soon lead to problems for America and the rest of the world. Specifically, resistance welding machines were being developed in the Soviet Union at the time and these are predecessors of the modern technique that still used today.
Modern World
In the modern world, Bernie Lublinkhof Welding understands the importance of getting the job done right in a durable and affordable manner. It doesn't matter what kind of welding job you need done, we have the resources and expertise to handle both large and small projects.
Fence line bunks are just one of the items that we can professionally manufacture for you. Why not spend a few minutes on our new website so you can see pictures of what we have been able to accomplish for other clients in your area? Why not email us or call today so that you can get a quote?

McCully is going to take over and sort everything in a matter of weeks becuase the council (working with the government) couldn't sort it 4 years? Here I was figuring it would all get swept under the carpet and quietly ignored and then McCully starts having a tantrum and brings it to the fore.

New Haven Expungement Lawyer
Connecticut offers those with a criminal record the opportunity to petition the State to have their criminal record expunged. In Connecticut, this is referred to as receiving a pardon.
An expungement, or pardon, in Connecticut, completely erases a person's criminal history as if they were never arrested or convicted. Employers, loan officers, and others who may conduct criminal background checks will no longer be able to view a person's criminal history if they are successful in obtaining an expungement from the Pardons Board.
If a person has a criminal record and they are concerned with how their record may be affecting their ability to find employment or otherwise participate fully in their community, a New Haven criminal lawyer can be a useful tool. A New Haven expungement lawyer could help a person pursue having their criminal record cleared. If they have previously had an expungement request denied, an attorney can help them try again. En Español.
Requesting a Pardon
Anyone with a criminal record can request for a record expungement, provided that is has been three years since any misdemeanor convictions and five years since any felony convictions.
It is also important that a person makes sure no other criminal cases or actions – whether state, federal, or out-of-state – are pending against them at the time of their expungement request or it may be denied. An expungement lawyer in New Haven can look into whether a person has any pending cases and whether they are eligible to seek expungement.
The Connecticut Pardons Board reviews all expungement requests. An experienced New Haven expungement attorney can walk a person through the process of submitting their request and all required supplemental documentation, accompany them to the hearing, and help them prepare to make statements and answer questions the Board may have.
Factors in Decision
The purpose of the expungement law in Connecticut is to allow persons with a criminal record who have made efforts to move forward in their lives in a positive direction to do so without the burden of having a criminal record following them for life.
In making a request to the Board, it is important that a person demonstrates that their criminal record is in the past and that they are not likely to incur additional criminal convictions in the future. A New Haven expungement lawyer could help demonstrate these positive changes to the Pardons Board.
The factors that the Board typically considers when deciding whether an expungement is appropriate include the amount of time that has passed since an offense and conviction, the nature and seriousness of the offense and whether it was violent, the impact on any victims and the public interest, whether the person has engaged in community service and what their accomplishments have been since their convictions, their work history, and what their character references have to say about them.
The person may also provide the Board evidence of the path their life is currently on, in the form of resumes, certificates, evaluations, and other supporting documents. An expungement lawyer in New Haven can best help a person decide which pieces of evidence to highlight for the Board.

Professor Gagnier discussed the filtration of British Victorian literature throughout the world, and provided interesting statistics on the most commonly translated British Victorian authors. Her engaging lecture was informed by her current research into the global circulation of Victorian literature, focusing on literature of the decadence movement.
I have recently been very much cocooned with my studies, focusing on literature by Victorian women writers with a 'psychiatric' focus, a rather niche area, so it was particularly nice to hear about the aspects of Victorian studies which have transcended the globe.
Unfortunately, I forgot my notepad, so my memories of the lecture are all I have to base this blog report on; my bad! I absolutely recommend to anyone the Annual Victorian Lecture held at the University of Hull. Previous lectures have been given by Elaine Showalter and Margaret Stetz. I hope to report to you again from next year's lecture.

Classical School, Radical Politics:
The Nathaniel Allen House, 19th Century and Now
When I first began photographing the Allen House I didn't think much about its history —only that it had some. I was intrigued by its architectural details, its labyrinth of rooms, and the fact that it had lain undisturbed — in a bustling neighborhood — for so long. I was drawn more to its aura than its facts: I found the blue-greens of the bowling alley enticing and mysterious, the light streaming into the old science room lost and mournful of the past, the wallpaper a fashionable mirror to an earlier time.
I began to research the house. The Greek Revival home, built around 1844, had been owned by the same family for almost a century. Nathaniel Topliff Allen (1823-1903) bought the house in 1854 and moved his family into the home. The same year, he opened a private school nearby called the West Newton English and Classical School. He used several rooms in the house as classrooms and a boys' dormitory.
A protege of Horace Mann, Allen became a noted educator in his own right. His school emerged at the forefront of progressive education and included classes unusual for the time: physical education, science, social justice and kindergarten. The co-educational school admitted students of all racial backgrounds, a fact that displeased the
father of at least one white student from the South. Allen led the school for almost 40 years.
In addition, Allen became a well-known abolitionist. His opponents called Allen and his neighbors "the radicals and incendiaries of West Newton." He befriended and housed a former slave, Arthur Crumpler, who faced negative publicity in the Boston newspapers in 1863 when he cast his first vote. Crumpler married a student at the school named Rebecca Davis Lee Crumpler, who became the first African-American woman physician in the United States.
The school attracted students from around the world. Some of these photos show students from Japan and Italy. Later, Allen's daughters opened a school in the house called The Allen School for Girls. In 1978, the house earned an individual listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
This exhibit juxtaposes recent photographs of the Allen House with images from the past. Though the house was empty and largely neglected when I took the photos, it felt as if it had been well-used in its heyday and, certainly, well-loved.

Bring up potty training to any parent, and you're bound to get a visceral reaction. For some reason, potty training is the one subject any parent can agree on when it comes to parenting: IT SUCKS. It really does. I wrote about it here, when I trained Anna, and since then there hasn't been any big changes in that regard. Sucks.
With Anna, I was fairly laissez-faire about the whole thing. It will happen when it happens. And then it happened, and I was happy. This was a good attitude to have. It is the attitude I have tried to have with Aaron, but the ever-selfish woman in her thirties that I am has had one 'devil' on my shoulder, so to speak, and it's made me a little anxious:
When Aaron is potty trained, my life changes. Possibilities open up to me that I wouldn't have otherwise. Camps. Classes. Drop-off play times, for BOTH kids. Not to mention the whole not-buying-diapers thing. He needs to be potty trained for the fall, the weather has been gorgeous lately, so shoot, I thought. Let's just get this show on the road.
