Richard Cory, Edwin Arlington Robinson
"Richard Cory" Edwin Arlington Robinson
The following entry represents criticism of Robinson's poem "Richard Cory."
Though it was the latter part of Robinson's long career as a poet that brought him prestige, including three Pulitzer Prizes in the 1920s, it is for several early, short poems that he is best known. "Richard Cory," which first appeared in Robinson's self-published 1897 volume, The Children of the Night, is perhaps the most famous of these. "Richard Cory" is a complex tale in sixteen compact lines that discusses themes of self-deception and spiritual emptiness. It shows Robinson's characteristic combination of traditional poetic form and lean, modern diction. The poem's themes and form lend themselves well to classroom discussion, and it has been frequently studied and anthologized.
Plot and Major Characters
"Richard Cory" is a story told at a remove by a narrator who "went without meat and cursed the bread." The narrator speaks for the rest of the poor in the town when he claims that "we people on the pavement looked at him" and "we thought that he was everything." In the first three stanzas the narrator praises Richard Cory, painting him as a "gentlemen from sole to crown" who "glittered when he walked." The rich, popular, and refined Cory is envied by those around him for seemingly having all that life has to offer. The fourth stanza, however, takes a tragic turn and ends with Cory's suicide: "And Richard Cory, one calm summer night / Went home and put a bullet through his head." There are no clues given in the poem as to why Cory commits suicide. An 1897 letter of Robinson's quoted in Wallace L. Anderson's Edwin Arlington Robinson: A Critical Introduction suggests that "Richard Cory" was based on, or at least instigated by, the suicide of an acquaintance of Robinson's. Harry R. Garvin cautions against attaching too much importance to this origin, remarking, "I find autobiographical elements of highly limited critical relevance to Robinson's poems." Still, a reader of "Richard Cory" might note that in his correspondence Robinson more than once displayed a sympathetic attitude toward suicides.
Major Themes
"Richard Cory" is the portrait of a man who appears to have everything. The poem ends when this glorious figure commits an apparently incomprehensible act of suicide. Ellsworth Barnard wrote that "the first fourteen lines are a painstaking preparation for the last two, with their stunning overturn of popular belief." Critics generally have read the poem as the tale of a rich man with a hollow center, or as a comment on the gulf between appearance and reality. Dissenting critical voices have pinned the blame for Richard Cory's death on a variety of factors, including rejection by other townspeople, mental illness, and frustrated artistic impulses.
Critical Reception
While some critics have attacked "Richard Cory" as didactic and overly neat in its ironies, others have been impressed by its diction and construction—Ellsworth Barnard describes the poem as "carefully put together." Charles Burkhart contends that "Richard Cory" is a paradox. The critic is unable to dismiss the poem's "obtrusive didacticism," but at the same time finds in Robinson's methods "an organic scheme which enhances the interest of [the poem] and enlarges [the poem's] intention considerably." This is rather guarded praise and suggests that "Richard Cory" is admired more as an example of fine skill than as a work of literary inspiration, but they reflect a critical consensus on Robinson's craftsmanship. Concerning the ending of "Richard Cory," critical reaction is more sharply divided. Yvor Winters called the shock of the suicide "a very cheap surprise ending." Wallace L. Anderson defends Robinson's use of the surprise ending as a legitimate literary device, and claims that the poem "has a rich complexity that becomes increasingly rewarding with successive readings." In any case, "Richard Cory" engages readers' imaginations—the poem has survived a series of dismissals and reappraisals of its author's place in American literature, and it remains the most-read effort of the writer Robert Frost called "the prince of heartachers."

Bruce Weirick (essay date 1924)
SOURCE: "The Note of Futility: New England and New York," in From Whitman to Sandburg in American Poetry: A Critical Survey, The Macmillan Company, 1924, pp. 184-92.
[In the following excerpt, Weirick assesses Robinson's place in the pantheon of great American poets, concluding that Robinson and his contemporary, Robert Frost, are craftsmen rather than geniuses. Additionally, the critic examines "Richard Cory," and argues that the mysterious distance between Cory and his neighbors mirror Robinson's own perceived distance from the rest of humanity.]
To step from [Robert] Frost to [Edwin Arlington] Robinson is to go from rural New England to the cultivated environment of a cosmopolitan recluse in the city of New York. Yet though its material changes, Robinson's world, like Frost's, is quiet and sometimes tired, disregarding wearily very much of the tumult of the times. Instead of Frost's simple world, Robinson offers us a world of art, of subtlety, of libraries and books, of curious cultivated persons of immaculate clothes and interesting psychology. He is a poet of infinite polish, infinite care, and impeccable reserve. In him we have less nature and more art. I am not sure that we have more poetry.
The steady level of his poetry may be matched by the steadiness of his career. Since 1890 he has lived in New York, a bachelor, carefully eschewing wealth and easy occupations, always the serious and diligent, somewhat shy artist. He has, indeed, lived for poetry and nothing else, and the result is to-day a collected volume of six hundred pages. In spite of the assistance of Mr. Roosevelt some years ago, Mr. Robinson has never succeeded in impressing himself on the general American public. His fame has been of slow growth, and with the few. The question arises, how much of a success is it; and how much of it is apt to endure?
And first let us say that as a poet of New York, he does not express the multifariousness of New York, and as a descendent of New England, he expresses little or nothing of its various spirit or scene. His is rather a library culture. Much of his poetry is but the warmings over of English literature, of Malory and Tennyson and the Arthurian legend, and is devoid of reference to the contemporary and the actual. And these retellings are not, be it said, usually very interesting or very important, though they often have in them passages of finish and beauty. One marvels at the unflagging effort spent on Merlin, or on Captain Craig, but with the best will in the world attention flags. Lancelot, his best long poem, is fine writing, exquisite, and in some of its flights, shot full of wonder and romantic longing. But even here some of the faults of the other long poems appear. An oversubtlety, an obscurity in allusion, a minute attention to the psychology of characters which are but dimly adumbrated in the reader's consciousness, and no very stirring narrative to rouse or hold attention, all these are faults and obvious ones, which neither these nor any other poems can afford to stagger under. It is useless to deny it, most of Robinson's longer works are dull, and will not, like Browning, to whom Robinson has often been compared in obscurity and subtlety, repay the reader with pearls of pleasure for his deep diving into their waters.
What then may the reader who takes a seat by the library fire with this poet expect? Is it worth while? I for one think it is, and for the sake of perhaps a dozen short poems, and a point of view. Let us imagine the setting. It is that of a fireside room done in brown tones, quiet and rich with human meanings. Our host a reserved, though quietly genial scholar and poet, intent on contemplation of life and its motives and mysteries. Not that we get the impression that our host has himself lived much of life. That question does not at first arise. Himself he keeps in the background, well subdued into the brown tones of the study. He is the detached observer. And the life he observes is, therefore, also always a little detached and mysterious. Of his hero, Richard Cory, for instance, the impeccable person who committed suicide, the poet knows only what a neighbor might know; and of Flammonde, only of his good deeds and that there was a heart to his mystery never quite solved. Indeed, as we sit and hear our host descant on these former neighbors of his, glossing his comments with the high illumination of Shakespeare or Ben Jonson, and teasing us with touches of beauty and elusiveness, the thought suddenly strikes one that the host is after all quite as much a mystery as any he has discovered. And we find ourselves thinking: yes, but what of you? Why have you not lived more than to sit here and contemplate these odd people? And when we arrive there, we are already one with the host, and are in the mood to produce, psychologically at least, one of Mr. Robinson's best poems. For all his best poems are about men who were in some sense mysterious. The point of view, therefore, which the visitor at Mr. Robinson's fire will acquire is that of the romance in human motive. It is perhaps his chief contribution to his time.

Famous poems have a ready-made audience with ready-made appreciations.

Holding a different view on Edward Arlington Robinson's "Richard Cory" from that which marks Mr. Burkhart's comment (explicator, Nov., 1960, xix, 9), I am inspired to try again.

When I teach poetry I try to lead the students to discover that a poem is not a message, it is an organism, that the words and rhythms and patterns of which it is made are an integral part of its being, and that it is made by plan rather than by accident.

In his discussion of Edward Arlington Robinson's "Richard Cory," Charles R. Morris (explicator, March, 1965, xxiii, 7) seems to go to extreme lengths to justify the poet's use of "anglicisms" in describing Cory.

"Richard Cory," one of Edwin Arlington Robinson's most anthologized poems, is also one of the least examined. Those critics who have considered the poem cast it in a familiar mold: that Richard Cory's "soul is black with despair,"1 that the people possess "the light,"2 and that finally...

All proceeds from the sale of "Gilgamesh Suite EP" will benefit Locrian Chamber Players' next concert season.
"'Gilgamesh Suite 'is a newly composed work based on selections from incidental music I contributed to the play 'Gilgamesh Variations,' produced at Brooklyn's Bushwick Starr Theatre in 2011. Written to commemorate the 2012 John Cage centenary, its touchstone work is 'Sonatas and Interludes.' Instead of creating a trope on Cageian compositional practices, I focused on incorporating the rich sound palette of the work's prepared piano into the play's eclectic and highly gestural aesthetic.

don't use conditioner all the time, but when I need to get a knot out, it really works fantastically. It's one of the better natural conditioners I've used, and it smells great, too (although I am almost tempted to eat it). Highly recommended! Kind of sad I don't use it up fast enough, because this current 3 dollar deal is a sure steal! I must add, it also worked great in my toddler's fine hair to my surprise, didn't weigh it down.

Intestinal Failure
Some persons are born with or develop irreversible intestinal failure. Intestinal failure occurs when a person's intestines can't digest food and absorb the fluids, electrolytes and nutrients essential to life and normal development. Patients must then receive TPN, which provides liquid nutrition through a catheter or needle inserted into a vein in the arm, groin, neck or chest.
Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN)
Patients with intestinal failure may receive all or most of their nutrients and calories intravenously through total parenteral nutrition, or TPN. TPN is given through a catheter placed in the arm, groin, neck or chest. Patients on TPN may live for many years, but long-term use of TPN can result in serious complications, such as bone disorders, central venous catheter infections and liver disease. If those complications become life-threatening, an intestinal transplant may be required.
Causes of Intestinal Failure
The most common cause of intestinal failure is short bowel syndrome where at least half or more of the small intestine has been removed. Short bowel syndrome is typically a postsurgical condition for treatment of conditions such as trauma or necrotizing enterocolitis.
Pedatric vs. Adult Causes
Intestinal failure may also be caused by functional disorders such as Crohn's disease, a digestive disorder, or chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndrome. The conditions leading to intestinal failure are age-dependent. That is, some conditions are more closely associated with pediatric intestinal failure while others are more common with intestinal failure in adults.
Pediatric Conditions Causing Intestinal Failure
- Congenital malformations such as small bowel atresia, gastroschisis, aganglionosis
- Infections of the gastrointestinal tract such as necrotizing enterocolitis)
- Short bowel syndrome following extensive bowel surgeries secondary to mesenteric ischemia (e.g., midgut volvulus)
- Absorptive impairment (e.g., intestinal pseudo-obstruction, microvillus inclusion disease)
Adult Conditions Causing Intestinal Failure
- Short bowel syndrome following extensive surgeries secondary to mesenteric ischemia (following thrombosis, embolism, volvulus, or trauma)
- Inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease
- Small bowel tumors such as Gardner's syndrome (familial colorectal polyposis)
- Tumors of the mesenteric root and retroperitoneum (desmoid tumor)
Intestinal Failure and Transplantation
An intestinal transplant is a last-resort treatment option for patients with intestinal failure who develop life-threatening complications from total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Long-term TPN can result in complications including bone disorders, catheter-related infections and liver failure. Over an extended period of time, TPN also can damage veins used to administer the nutrition via the catheter.
An Intestinal transplant is a complex procedure requiring a highly skilled multidisciplinary transplant team. An isolated Intestinal transplant surgery takes approximately three to four hours to complete whereas a multivisceral (multi-organ) transplant operation can take up to twelve hours.
There are three major types of intestinal transplants:
Isolated intestinal (Small Bowel) Transplantation
In an isolated intestinal transplant, the diseased portion of the small intestine is removed and replaced with a healthy small intestine from a donor. In an isolated intestinal transplant, the disease limited to the small bowel only without liver failure. This procedure can be lifesaving for patients with irreversible intestinal failure that has become life-threatening.
Combined Liver and Intestinal Transplantation
Combined liver and intestine transplantation is done for patients with both liver and intestinal failure. IN In this procedure, the diseased liver and intestine are removed and replaced with a healthy liver and intestine from an organ donor. Complications of intravenous nutrition (TPN) are the main cause of liver failure attendant to intestinal failure. Without a transplant, patients with intestinal and liver failure have an expected median survival of 6 - 12 months while continued on TPN.
Multivisceral Transplantation
Multivisceral transplantation is performed where two or more intra-abdominal organs (including the intestines) are failing. The transplanted organs may include the stomach, duodenum, pancreas, intestine, and liver. This complex procedure can be life-saving for patients with combined abdominal organ failure resulting diseases such as Gardner's syndrome (familial colorectal polyposis), a pre-malignant colorectal condition and intestinal pseudo-obstruction (decreased ability of the intestines to push food through).
Evaluation for Intestinal Transplantation
During the evaluation process, a detailed medical history is taken and numerous studies (tests) are performed to determine whether an intestinal transplant is likely to benefit the patient including:
- Abdominal CT scan
- Barium enema
- Blood tests for liver function, electrolytes, kidney function and antibodies to certain viruses
- Colonoscopy
- ECG and echocardiogram
- Endoscopy
- Motility studies
- Ultrasound of the circulatory system
- Upper gastrointestinal and small bowel X-ray series
Intestinal Transplant Procedure
In an Intestinal transplant, the small intestine (small bowel) is surgically removed (along with any other diseased organs such as the liver), and replaced with healthy organ(s). Initially, the blood vessels of the patient and donor are connected to establish a blood supply to the transplanted intestine. The donor's intestine is then connected to the patient's gastrointestinal tract.
An ileostomy is then performed. An ileostomy is a surgically created opening through which the ileum, a section of the patient's small intestine, is brought up through the abdominal wall. This opening allows body waste to pass directly out of the body and empty into a pouch. The ileostomy also allows the transplant team to assess the health of the patient's transplanted intestine. In time, most patients are able to have the ileostomy closed. A feeding tube is also placed into the stomach to help the patient transition to an oral diet.

USA Field Hockey Weekly Report-Week of November 2, 2010
Yesterday we announced a set of new properties (events) owned by USA Field Hockey. They are the USA Field Hockey U19 National Club Championship and the U17 National Club Championship. Yesterday's news-release (read more) gave you a fair view of what the events are about and where they will be held in 2011 (on a superb new property, Sports Quest, near Richmond, Virginia). In this report, I wanted to provide you with the thought process we followed in developing these two new properties.
Simply put in field hockey, our dilemma is creating more opportunities for athletes to learn and advance in our sport. Our efforts within the National Office are to put into place a set of tools to help grow the game of field hockey at the regional level. So, here is our logic. The creation of a club national championship gives clubs a major reason for being. To strive for and win a national championship will carry much prestige for a club. We anticipate that over the years the cachet of these events will grow. In the first year (2011), selection into the championships will be on a first come/first served basis. We envision that after this inaugural year, regional qualifiers will be needed to advance teams to the national club championships. Our thought is that those qualifiers will be run by private event organizers (i.e. not owned by USA Field Hockey), but will be 'sanctioned' by USA Field Hockey through a new sanctioning program we are developing (sanctioning will provide liability and sports accident insurance protection, and other benefits that we hope will provide budget relief to private event organizers). Through the creation of qualifiers, there will be 'more places to play' and potentially more people playing, leading to the development of more clubs.
We see the U19 and U17 events as templates for other new properties in the future. For example, we see the potential for an U15 and perhaps an Open Club Championship. We also see this evolving into potential opportunities for men to enter the realm of future national club championships. All in all, the creation of next year's two new properties and the potential in subsequent years of the development of more properties is all about expanding the base. Expanding the base provides more opportunities to play, helps in recruiting by growing interest in local areas through qualifiers, and helps our elite national programs by having more athletes available to eventually rise to the top.
USA Field Hockey's Director of Event Logistics, Karen Collins has taken the main responsibility in operating the new events. The concept was developed through the collective brain trust of USA Field Hockey's Laura Darling, Simon Hoskins , Karen Collins, Kate Reisinger , and Terry Walsh. Our USA Field Hockey brain trust received much input from the USA Field Hockey membership in developing the approach. USA Field Hockey listened and, indeed, we feel that a principal driver for growth of hockey is clubs and the development of new clubs. This effort should serve as a club incubator. I hope you agree, and I look forward to any comments or critiques you may have (email@example.com).
By the way, USA Field Hockey is the designated national governing body for field hockey in the United States. That designation is made through both the FIH, the sport's international federation, and by the United States Olympic Committee through authority from the US Congress. USA Field Hockey is the only entity within the USA that can designate an event as a 'national championship'.

Have a great week!

I got the set of two. I love them. I have many Zulugrass beads, but these are my current favorites to wear as bracelets. They are colorful and lightweight. I think of the Maasai women beading every time I look at my wrist. It is such a joy to participate in this project. I am so happy to help fund schools for the Maasai.

Beatuiful! Exactly what I wanted. People always ask me where I got it, and it's great to be able to inform them of this item, and your site :) Great cause!
- November 23, 2013
I have three strands of these. They're far more durable than I thought they'd be and I always get comments on them. The money goes to such a good cause, too. Buy some!
- June 2, 2013
Got this because it was a bit different than the other zulu grass beads. This necklace/bracelet feels a bit smoother than the others I have purchased. Love that I can wrap it several times around my wrist! I have several and love to wear to them with just about anything!
- March 18, 2013
I love these bracelets. They are very colorful and lightweight. I have had several comments about them and have referred people to this website. :) The beads are very lightweight. The bracelet is long and is able to be looped around my wrist several times. I really appreciate that I can wrap it several times and the bracelet is still loose as I have large wrists and can have a hard time finding bracelets to fit me. The only downfall to the bracelet is that since it is made of grass, it can easily snag on things and the beads may break or crack. However, I still love these bracelets and wear mine as much as I can. They support a great cause and make people curious! ~Katy :)

Terrence Jennings Q&A
|Terrence Jennings, 26, of Alexandria, Va., won a bronze medal in the men's -68kg division at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. In this month's Athlete Profile, Terrence answers 10 questions about his experiences at his first Olympic Games and about his life since winning the medal.
1. What was the first moment when it hit you that you are, and will always be, and Olympic medalist?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: I think it finally hit me once I was standing on the medal stand. Afterward, everyone told me that once the medal was around my neck I never stopped smiling.
|2. Have you received any special treatment by flashing the medal?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: Well kind of. A lot of places here in Miami have been giving me big discounts or free stuff. Actually, my last tattoo was done for free.
|3. What was your parents' and family's reaction after you won?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: My parents were extremely happy, I mean they haven't watched me fight in almost three years. So I think the fact that they were able to attend the Olympic Games and watch me win a medal is a memory they will hold forever.
|4. Where do you plan on eventually keeping the medal?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: I'm taking it with me everywhere I go, lol. But seriously, hopefully one day it will be displayed in my Taekwondo school for all my students to see.
|5. What were your favorite moments from both the opening and closing ceremonies?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: The opening and closing ceremonies were both awesome. I think my favorite part about opening ceremonies was being able to take pictures with all the different athletes, including the USA Basketball team. Closing ceremonies for me was amazing, being able to march back into the same stadium, but now with a medal around my neck, was surreal.
|6. What did you like best about the Athlete Village in London?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: The Olympic Village was really nice; the gym, the hangout area where they had live music every night. I would have to say my favorite part of the Village was the cafeteria. They had food from all over the world and even a McDonald's built inside of it.
|7. What were the best sights you saw in London?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: We didn't have much time to tour London, but we did get to see Big Ben. That alone was awesome and totally worth the trip to London.
|8. What was your most memorable brush with a celebrity in London?
|TERRENCE JENNNINGS: I would have to say just taking pictures with all the basketball players during opening ceremonies.
|9. Were there any welcome home parties for you in Miami or Virginia?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: From the time we landed people have been going crazy, lol. Once we landed in Chicago, the Chicago fire department was on hand spraying the airplane with water hoses to welcome the U.S. athletes back from London. I have celebrated with some of my friends here in Miami. I'm heading back to Virginia to see everyone there and attend a few celebration parties.
|10. How do you feel about making a run at a second Olympics in 2016?
|TERRENCE JENNINGS: I've already started training again, just like this Olympics, one step at a time. I would love to attended the 2016 Olympic Games. I am very happy to have grabbed a bronze medal, but 2016 I want to bring the gold medal back to the USA!!

Protesters Pitch Causes Before Inauguration
Lawmakers Fail To Stop Edwards' Change To County's Administrative Code
MAYVILLE – A total of four presentations and an emergency resolution took up much of the time during Wednesday's legislature meeting.
In addition to hearing from potential purchasers of the Chautauqua County Home, legislators also heard presentations about funeral directors, a north county regional water system and the STAR program.
James Subjack, attorney, presented on behalf of the Chautauqua County Funeral Directors Association and its membership, requesting the legislature authorize an increase to the rate of reimbursement to the funeral directors in the county who perform services for indigent individuals.
According to Subjack, currently, the contract under which the funeral directors and the Chautauqua County Department of Social Services operate reimburses the funeral directors the sum of $984 for each funeral performed. Additionally, funeral homes are expected to donate a casket. Subjack said by the time the funeral is over, the funeral home suffers a loss of $1,300.
In a letter obtained from a legislator, Subjack listed a seven-part proposal on behalf of the funeral directors association, leading to the conclusion the additional financial burden to the county will be $50,000. Subjack also told legislators that as of Jan. 1, 2014, bids may need to be obtained from outside the county, because funeral directors have expressed to him they will not continue taking on the funeral services.
Following his presentation, questions were allowed by Legislative Chairman Jay Gould, R-Ashville, at which point several legislators requested clarification. Charles Nazzaro, D-Jamestown, suggested following the new budget process and speaking with the appropriate committees.
"I was extremely uncomfortable with Mr. Subjack's presentation," George Borrello, R-Irving, said following the meeting. "The fact that as of Jan. 1, all of the funeral directors in Chautauqua County have agreed that they are no longer going to provide the services of indigent funerals. I think this needs to be closely examined. I think in the end, the free market can determine who will do these. Even if we have to go outside the county, I don't like the idea of this being basically a veiled threat."
Rick Henry and Patrick Brennan presented to the legislature on behalf of a North County Regional Water System. The men said the system would operate much like the South and Center Sewer District, only as a water system. According to the presentation, each municipality will be able to set their own water rates based on their actual expenses, keeping in mind that the rate will need to include the cost of the district to operate and maintain the treatment an transmission systems.
The region would share the costs equally for the current $30.4 million investment and for future investments in the water treatment and transmission systems. The current map includes Brocton, Portland, Pomfret, the town and city of Dunkirk, Sheridan, Silver Creek and Hanover.
Robert Wright, Office of Real Property Services representative, also briefly spoke to the legislature about changes to the STAR Program. Additional information about the STAR Program can be found at www.tax.ny.gov.
Finally, the legislature voted on an emergency resolution, brought to the legislature at the request of Robert Whitney, D-Jamestown. Because it was an emergency resolution, it required a supermajority of 17 votes to be brought before the floor.
The resolution was rejecting an amendment to the Chautauqua County Administrative Code, an amendment made by County Executive Greg Edwards. The amendment was regarding the Chautauqua County Home.
The amendment reads, "Unless leased, sold, transferred, or no longer authorized in the county budget pursuant to a resolution of the Chautauqua County Legislature, the Chautauqua County Home shall be operated under the supervision of a nursing home administrator, licensed and registered as required by New York state law…"
Whitney expressed his main concern was the section reading "or no longer authorized in the county budget," which several legislators agreed with. Nazzaro said if the funding was cut from the budget, due to the wording, the home would no longer be operated under the supervision of an administrator.
"I think it's pretty clear why we have to change this," Borrello said. "There has been a history of the CSEA bringing frivolous lawsuits against counties when they're looking to execute a sale. In every single case, the CSEA lost, yet it has cost taxpayers a lot of money to defend these lawsuits. So, this simple change in language eliminates that."
By voting in favor of the resolution, legislators were objecting to the change in language to the administrative code. By opposing the emergency resolution, legislators were voting in favor of the new wording.
Voting in favor of the resolution were Keith Ahlstrom, D-Dunkirk; Shaun Heenan, D-Dunkirk; Robert Duff, R-Sheridan; Rod Rogers, G-Forestville; Tom Erlandson, D-Frewsburg; Victoria James, D-Jamestown, Lori Cornell, D-Jamestown; Paula DeJoy, D-Jamestown; Timothy Hoyer, D-Jamestown; Robert Whitney, D-Jamestown; Nazzaro; Thomas DeJoe, D-Brocton; Bob Scudder, R-Fredonia; and Coughlin.
Opposing the resolution were Larry Barmore, R-Gerry; Borrello; Fred Croscut, R-Sherman; John Hemmer, R-Westfield; David Himelein, R-Findley Lake; Vince Horrigan, R-Bemus Point; John Runkle, R-Stockton; Robert Steward, R-Ellington; Paul Wendel, R-Lakewood; and Gould.
Mark Tarbrake, R-Ellicott, was absent from the meeting.
Although there were 14 legislators in favor of rejecting the amendment to the code, 17 are required to pass an emergency resolution, so the change in wording was made.

Our numbers
Women represent more than half of all people living with HIV worldwide – that's more than 17 million women living with HIV around the world. In some areas, women are disproportionately affected; in sub-Saharan Africa, for example, women now account for more than 60 percent of all HIV cases. Globally, HIV is the leading cause of death among women of reproductive age, and UNAIDS recently released a shocking statistic – one young woman is newly infected with HIV every minute.
Our bodies
Simply put, women's bodies are different from men's. These differences affect how women and girls prevent, get, and handle HIV infection. For example:
- During heterosexual sex, HIV is passed almost twice as easily from men to women than from women to men; younger women and girls are even more vulnerable to HIV given the biological immaturity of their reproductive tracts
- When women are first diagnosed, they tend to have lower viral loads (amount of HIV in the blood) compared to men who are newly diagnosed
- Women generally have lower CD4 cell counts than men with similar viral loads
Since HIV treatment studies (clinical trials) have traditionally included very small numbers of women, most information about the effectiveness and safety of HIV drugs comes from research done in men. This under-representation of women in trials has only recently begun to change.
The existing research that we do have has found little difference in the effectiveness of HIV treatment for women and men, in some cases the side effects may differ. For example, women living with HIV (HIV+) are at greater risk for weakened bones, and often experience different types of body shape changes than men.
Our communities
How the HIV epidemic affects women and girls is also rooted in a complex combination of social and structural factors. The lives of women and girls are shaped by a number of gender-based inequalities including:
- social (e.g., less power in sexual decision-making)
- economic (e.g., less power to earn or control income)
- political (e.g., policies that deny women inheritance or give them little or no choice in reproductive rights)
These inequalities not only increase women's vulnerability to HIV, but also negatively impact the health of women living with HIV. Women tend to be diagnosed with HIV later in their disease than men and fewer women than men are getting HIV treatment. Women may delay getting medical care and treatment for several reasons, including:
- limited access to health care and/or transportation
- lack of financial resources and/or social supports
- other responsibilities such as child care or caring for a sick family member
- stigma, discrimination, and criminalization associated with HIV
- depression, which is more common among HIV+ women than HIV+ men
Violence against women (VAW), which the World Health Organization calls a "global health problem of epidemic proportion," also plays a role in how the HIV pandemic affects women. Several studies have shown that women with a history of physical and/or sexual abuse are more likely to become HIV positive, especially if that abuse first started during childhood years.
Among women living with HIV, research indicates that trauma and violence are associated with poorer health as a result of reduced HIV treatment and decreased treatment adherence. Finally, many women may be at risk of abuse or violence if they tell their partner or the person they live with about their HIV status.
One prime example: PrEP
In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a well-known HIV drug (Truvada) as a new HIV prevention tool – pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP. Unlike condoms, PrEP can be used without the cooperation or knowledge of one's partner. An oral daily pill, PrEP is attractive to many women because it puts the power of HIV prevention in their hands. While there was solid evidence demonstrating Truvada's effectiveness among men at the time of approval, its effectiveness for women remains unclear.
Biologically, there is evidence to suggest that, when taken as directed, Truvada is an effective way to prevent HIV for women. However, in two key studies (FemPrEP and VOICE), there were low levels of adherence; fewer than one in three women took the drug regularly. Additionally, many women in the FemPrEP study did not consider themselves at risk for HIV. The social elements that play a role in why many women did not take their one pill daily as prescribed, and why many women did not consider themselves at risk for HIV are just as important in the design of an effective prevention strategy as any biochemical solution.
As we continue to research appropriate interventions and outreach strategies to guide both prevention and treatment efforts for women, it is crucial that interventions be designed not for the women, but with the women they are intended to serve. Women living with and vulnerable to HIV disease and their advocates must be involved at every level and in every step of research development and implementation, in order to ensure that safe and effective treatments, as well as appropriate prevention strategies, are developed for women and girls.
In conclusion
Despite the fact that women and girls clearly have unique needs for HIV prevention and treatment, UNAIDS reports that less than half of all countries set aside women-specific resources as part of their national response to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. In addition, UNAIDS reports that less than 30 percent of young women worldwide have accurate, comprehensive knowledge about HIV and how to avoid getting it. Ultimately, this lack of access to information and resources perpetuates the epidemic of HIV among women and girls.
For all these reasons and more, The Well Project set out more than 10 years ago and continues to inform, support, and advocate for women and girls affected by HIV worldwide. Join us!

Skip to comments.IRS apologizes for targeting conservative groups
Posted on 05/10/2013 8:05:33 AM PDT by mandaladon
WASHINGTON (AP) The Internal Revenue Service is apologizing for inappropriately flagging conservative political groups for additional reviews during the 2012 election to see if they were violating their tax-exempt status. Lois Lerner, who heads the IRS unit that oversees tax-exempt groups, said organizations that included the words "tea party" or "patriot" in their applications for tax-exempt status were singled out for additional reviews. Lerner said the practice, initiated by low-level workers in Cincinnati, was wrong and she apologized while speaking at a conference in Washington. Many conservative groups complained during the election that they were being harassed by the IRS. They said the agency asked them an inordinate number of questions to justify their tax-exempt status. Certain tax-exempt charitable groups can conduct political activities but it cannot be their primary activity.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
An apology is not sufficient for criminal action.
"Gosh, we're sorry"
Somehow that doesn't seem to help.
The Founding Fathers would be shooting by now.
What's wrong with these people? Don't they know that being a fascist means never having to say you're sorry?
These "low level" workers were probably promoted for carrying out "higher level" workers bidding.
But the IRS does not hesitate to give tax exemptions to organizations that drown babies in toilets or throw them in the trash.
Well the election is over now,,they can come clean. Rats!
How do you think "low level" IRS workers get to be high-level IRS workers? By falling on the sword and taking the heat for their bosses.
Will they apologize for all the politically-motivated audits initiated by 'Rat-minded politicians and bureaucrats every election since Woodrow Wilson? Will they apologize for all these audits and harassments that they WILL still perform in all the elections for the next 100 years? It would be nice, especially the latter, because I don't expect them to stop.
The IRS is just an arm of the Democratic Party ,it needs to be severed
IRS = 120,000 employees. A flat tax would eliminate at least 100k of them. Any others?
They should by trying these buggers in court and convicting them and sentencing them to a$$-banging jail. Further, the IRS as an agency should be held liable for treble monetary damages and punitive liability 100 times that.
No surprise. 10-15 years ago, I founded a property rights organization to educate homeowners about some local environmental proposals that would take away property rights. The IRS fought our 501c3 status application, and we ended up folding (after raising tens of thousands of dollars, and winning the battle).
I'm pretty certain it was heart felt and they really, really mean it. Don't worry about those crossed fingers behind their backs. While your at it, don't listen to those folks who talk about tyranny and big government. They're here to help you.
Surprised?.............do you really think the Chicago thugs running the White House had nothing to do with it?
We intentionally tagged you for review before the election, but hey, the election is over, so we apologize.
But shape up, because next year, when we are policing for Obamacare, we may tag you again.
The IRS is just an arm of the Democratic Party ,it needs to be severed
Served papers that is .
So, where are the firings and resignations?
That's just silly... they can't be fired because then the IRS won't have the knowledge to not do it next time!
The Founding Fathers would have started shooting a LONG time ago.
What? The IRS attacked those opposed to their dictatorial policies and specifically targeted groups that are calling for a reduction in the IRS' power! It is shocking I tell ya.
Luckily, we are trusting them to be the enforcers of Obamacare!
Just curious how this story broke. The IRS didn't just up and decide to fess up. Did an undercover reporter break the scandal (yeah, I know jus kiddin)? Or is there a whistleblower (doubt that too..)?
So no one will be losing their cushy government union jobs, benefits, pension, etc..
Uncovered in response to lawyers' request fighting audits.
So the lawyers were or are about to go public with this and the IRS is beating them to the podium with their little "not politically motivated low level workers in Cincinnati" story....oh ok that sounds about right
LOTS of complaints made their way up to Congress.
Apology goes nowhere to the ones that had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to fend off the attacks of the IRS. Not to speak of those that were destroyed by the audit. This is criminal and the IRS should be audited and employees should be hired by ability, not affirmative action.
Of course there will be no repercussions and this will be a blip on FOX, only.
More abuse of power from this administration!!
Are they ever going to have to answer for these flagrant violations of their oaths of office and the laws of this country?
The IRS employees who did this deserve to be fired - but of course, federal employees can't be fired for things like this. They may be "reassigned" but they won't be fired.
The "apology" is a shot across the bow showing that they can do it, they can admit it, and nothing will be done about it. In other words they can continue doing it with impunity. This is in your face.
They are as sorry as Hillary Clinton is about Benghazi. :)
Apology not accepted. The political (socialist/fascist) goons involved must be prosecuted!!
That's the only solution barring a miracle from God. It's completely broken and the people in position to fix it won't because they made it this way.
I agree.
Sorry they got caught.
Does Obama have an "Enemies of Obama" list and is he directing the IRS to harass them?
Low level workers? Who directed them to do this? I don't believe they did this on their own. The whole chain of command should be subpoened by an independent counsel.
Why is this news?
This is how the game is played.
Back in May 2009, Professor Glenn Reynolds, better known to his followers as Instapundit, penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal in which he discussed some odd rhetoric from President Obama. Obama had been refused an honorary doctorate by Arizona State University, and Obama remarked, President [Michael] Crowe and the Board of Regents will soon learn all about being audited by the IRS. Reynolds pointed out:
Just a joke about the power of the presidency. Made by Jay Leno it might have been funny. But as told by Mr. Obama, the actual president of the United States, it's hard to see the humor. Surely he's aware that other presidents, most notably Richard Nixon, have abused the power of the Internal Revenue Service to harass their political opponents. But that abuse generated a powerful backlash and with good reason. Should the IRS come to be seen as just a bunch of enforcers for whoever is in political power, the result would be an enormous loss of legitimacy for the tax system.
As it turns out, the IRS under President Obama routinely gave special scrutiny for groups with the terms tea party or patriots in their titles. His little joke doesnt read much like a joke anymore.
This administration is unlike any other and I am 63 years old this administration has to be run by some shadow group of a frightening kind
She's not apologizing for the IRS, but for the "low level workers".
Our Founding Fathers would have never had an income tax or IRS to begin with.

Once again, those in the government ruling class, are evil to the core.
Again, those in government have no honor and refuse to take responsibility for their actions, actions which if occurred in private sector America, those involved would be fired, and prosecuted.
They all do the deeds with the idea they'll simply apologize after the fact. It's how they work.
Then they confuse any matter with all sorts of unrelated information to flood the real purpose and happening....
It does work...as we have seen with so many moves they make....then all the politicians use it to gain brownie points...and no consequences ever are forthcoming.
Unfortunately you are right...and we do tend to follow the tail that is wagged don't we? None of this should surprise us, we're watching the equivalent to any "gang" of mobsters dressed in suites and role playing to look "shaven and clean".
Absolutely...These are the actions of mobsters, Nazis and those who desire to control everything and everyone, using fines, audits, taxes and threats of investigation as their weapons.
Scary cheet.
Take everything away from everyone involved, leave them destitute. Matter of fact, take everything away from everyone who works for the IRS. Make those who aren't involved prove it. Goose-Gander, that's the way they treat taxpayers.

Ice Palace construction pushed back to next week
Full-day pre-K isn't really a top priority
What a bandwagon there is for full-day pre-kindergarten. First, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio campaigned on it, then New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo offered to implement it statewide at state expense so de Blasio wouldn't have to tax the rich to do so. Then President Barack Obama made it part of his State of the Union speech, saying his administration would work with private-sector partners to make it available for more kids.
"Research shows that one of the best investments we can make in a child's life is high-quality early education," the president said.
Full-day pre-K might be nice to have, for some more than others, but it's not a cure-all, even if some politicians talk about it that way.
We see Cuomo and Obama's full-day pre-K push as more politics than policy. It's about convincing the parents of 3- and 4-year-olds to vote for the Democratic Party.
In New York City, full-day pre-K should probably happen. People there voted in a mayor who had made it a major plank in his platform, with a tax on the rich to pay for it. That's democracy. Plus, New York City's mayor is supposed to be in charge of the school system, whereas New York's governor and the U.S. president aren't.
For the rest of the state, there are improvements that could be made to the existing universal pre-K (UPK) system (more on that in a minute) but really, we think it's far from a top priority – especially now.
Our education system is already in a huge state of upheaval. With the federal Common Core – and New York's rushed, botched implementation of it – a tech revolution that's swiftly replacing textbooks with tablets, and a new health mission that's overhauling lunchroom fare, the hurricane of change is already close to blowing the doors off our schools.
Plus, for the last few years, states like New York have been leaning hard on local school districts to cut spending. They've cut state aid, partly by playing with the formula for it, and the tax cap, even though it can be overridden, has been a remarkably effective tool at the ballot box. School districts that stayed under the cap limit, even barely, have seen their budgets pass. Those that exceeded it have seen voters shoot them down, even when voters approved the same or higher increases before the days of the cap.
As a result, schools up here long ago ran out of fat to cut and are dropping teachers, meaning bigger classes and fewer offerings. That's the kind of thing that tends to make education, as a whole, worse.
With the basics endangered by budget cuts, it's hard to add new stuff. If so, though, our preference would be to add foreign language, in which American schools in general – including those up here – are woefully deficient. Foreign language is also a necessary skill in an ever-shrinking world, and it's not one most kids are likely to get outside of school.
Plus, little kids learn it so much faster and more easily than older ones. A child who starts Spanish or French in kindergarten or first grade can soak it in while a middle- or high-schooler has to cram grammar and vocabulary, making it less fun and a harder slog.
As for full-day UPK, maybe it should wait. When, in the future, there's money and head space to deal with it, here are some suggestions:
-Pre-K, if it's offered, should be funded on a long-term basis, not to be frozen as soon as the governor's political points have gone cold. Case in point: School districts have been able to opt for half-day UPK since the 1990s, except the state failed in its promise to fully fund it. The allocations didn't increase as the years went on; state funding for Saranac Lake's UPK, for example, is stuck at 1999 levels.
-Home rule is important. One-size-fits-all full-day pre-K wouldn't work for every community. Many have private day-care providers that fill the need and would be put out of business by a state UPK that few are clamoring for. Lake Placid, for instance, doesn't have UPK, and getting it may well ruin St. Agnes School, for which pre-K accounted for two-thirds of its 91 students in September.
-What about Head Start? This 49-year-old federal child-care program for low-income people is funded but doesn't have certified teachers the way UPK does. It wouldn't be easy, but someone should try to figure out how these programs could be integrated – maybe a network that ties in private providers, too. Otherwise there's a lot of duplication.
To truly improve our pre-K system, we'll have to take it slow and smart, not rush it the way New York did with Common Core.
But still, pre-K is less essential a service than K-12 education, and the latter shouldn't have to suffer for it.

The plan is to use the large (currently blank) wall in the cafe room to exhibit the work of artists/illustrators/others by printing their drawings/images/etc at A0 size in black and white and hanging them there.
I have a submissions poster that i have attached below.
When we did this before the best stuff we had was from people that we knew and had directly approached for a submission, so if anyone is aware of artists whose work would look good in this context, please let them know or forward them the submissions poster.
I will send this out by email where i can but would be very grateful for any further distribution.
The submissions email is a0projectsubmissions(at)gmail(dot)com.
Printing a set of 5 posters in B+W costs £10ish- Is the Forest in a position to be able to cover this at the mo? If no, i can probably cover the first batch, if we get any submissions.

So I never have a problem with doing a forum version of it.The software here has all the world time zone settings listed. Since we're based here in Ohio and the site deals with Cleveland, eastern is the choice. There is also a server setting for the computer that serves the webpages to us all. We have to (not in this example) set the difference in hours (+ or -) of it to our time zone. If TCF was using a web host , as example, in California, we'd have to add the variance in time, +3.Every member can then set their own time zone in their own control panel and it should be accurate. You will also note there is a setting there to 'turn on or off' DST.The main forum control panel also has that option.Some older/other versions of forum software asks the host on it's initial start up, if you want DST to be done automatically, Y or N...Clicking Y means, of course, you never have to manually adjust for it...But this one didn't...Funny how they all do the same thing, but differently.

Russian emigre philosopher Georgy Fedotov (1888-1951) proposed two basic principles for all of the freedoms by which modern democracy lives. First, and most valuable, there are the freedoms of "conviction" — in speech, in print, and in organized social activity. These freedoms, Fedotov asserted, developed out of the freedom of faith. The other principle of freedom "defends the individual from the arbitrary will of the state (which is independent of questions of conscience and thought) — freedom from arbitrary arrest and punishment, from insult, plundering and coercion on the part of the organs of power … "
In an ideal world, all of these freedoms would be present. But Fedotov also cautioned that "freedom is the late, refined flower of culture."
For the flower to bloom, the roots need to be watered. A free society, from the ground up, requires a respect for the rule of law, a judiciary and police force that aren't easily bought, a political culture that knows how to rid itself of corruption, and a vigorous free press to keep the pols and bureaucrats honest. I would also add a liberal measure of economic freedom and property rights that secure wealth from the "arbitrary" plunder of the government.
All of which gets us back to Russia. In an interview this week in the Financial Times, President-elect Dmitry Medvedev pledged to root out the "legal nihilism" that plagues his country. Excerpt:
[Medvedev's] starting point is his legal background – he is, he says, "perhaps too much of a lawyer". Meticulous and precise, he sees almost every issue through the prism of legal thinking. But behind the occasionally laboured language lies a deeper goal. Mr Medvedev says he wants to do what no Russian leader has done before: embed the rule of law in Russian society.
"It is a monumental task," he agrees, switching momentarily to English. "Russia is a country where people don't like to observe the law. It is, as they say, a country of legal nihilism."
The pledge to overcome "legal nihilism" became a central part of Mr Medvedev's low-key election campaign. It seems a restatement of Mr Putin's own promise eight years ago to establish a "dictatorship of laws", although critics say Mr Putin delivered too much of the former and not enough of the latter. Even today, Russians quote the 19th-century satirist Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin's aphorism that "the severity of Russian laws is alleviated by the lack of obligation to fulfill them". The result is a society plagued by endemic corruption, arbitrary use of the law by the state against individuals or companies – and by companies against each other – and a judiciary that has never known genuine independence.
To paraphrase, all democracy is local. One of the strengths of the American democratic tradition is its intensely local nature. Most Americans' experience with democracy happens when they vote for a judge, attend a school board meeting, or run afoul of the local traffic cop. If democracy doesn't work at this level, it doesn't work at all. As Medvedev pointed out to his interviewers: "When a citizen gives a bribe to the traffic police, it probably does not enter his head that he is committing a crime … People should think about this."
But bribing a cop is a moral issue, just as much as it is, if not exactly a political crime, then a seemingly simple act of convenience. Morality cannot be legislated, but it can be taught and for this we need the Church and the family and those other neighborhood groups, charities, and small businesses, that act as civic training grounds and make up a healthy community. Edmund Burke called these "the little platoons" of society. (more…)

About the Author: Virginia Shore serves as Chief Curator for ART in EMBASSIES.
The United Nations General Assembly convenes tomorrow, September 14, and marks the tenth year of "The International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for Children of the World." In recognition of the occasion, we note the art of Nick Cave, whose work appears in the ART in EMBASSIES exhibition currently installed at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations (USUN) in New York.
Through his exquisitely crafted monumental sculptures and canvases, Cave strives to explore cultural and historical identities both within himself and beyond: "My ability to make objects come alive is also a testament to my ability to have things resonate with their past history and usages alongside my personal though usually opaque meanings. I want my work to open up vistas to many cultures (including our own), explore a wide range of materials and formal approached, and look inwardly as it examines personal and cultural identity in relation to the world."
Cave teaches and works with children. He says he aims to provide them "with the knowledge that their art making holds the possibility for acting as a vehicle for change on a larger, global scale." His multi-layered, mixed-media two- and three-dimensional works often include children's toys. As someone who uses highly textured layers of sequined materials, plastic, fabric, and found objects, he is a self-described "recycler of material and cultural artifacts." Through his use of textiles and clothing as conceptual modes of expression, he elicits questions about the human condition in the social and political realm.
Cave is Associate Professor and Chairman of the Fashion Department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Solo exhibitions include the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the Jack Shainman Gallery, the Chicago Cultural Center, and the Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville.
"My only concern around my work is making sure that my art continues to reach a broader community," Cave says. His inclusion in ART in EMBASSIES puts him directly in the midst of the world-at-large.
