Two Rookies. Two Wins. Tinning and New FG Tour Proto
CHICAGO, October 10, 2013 – Wilson Staff professional Steen Tinning advanced to the top position on the European Senior Tour Order of Merit with a victory at the English Senior Open last week. The Dane took his second win as a Senior Tour rookie using the brand new prototype FG Tour golf ball.
Armed with Wilson Staff FG Tour V2 irons and FG Tour TC wedges, Tinning shot a dominant third round of 63 and a final round finish of birdie-birdie-par, holding off the field en route to the trophy. "My iron and wedge games have both been extremely reliable, which has allowed me to relax my thoughts on the greens and earn crucial birdies," commented Tinning.
On the seventeenth hole, he hit his FG Tour V2 four-iron to six feet leading to a birdie. In his words, it was "the four-iron of the year."
Tinning, who is only the second multiple winner on the European Senior Tour this season, captured the Berenberg Masters in August and now enjoys a first place tour ranking. Recent success with his Wilson Staff prototype golf ball sheds tour-proven attention on a product that has not yet been released to consumers.
Designed by the leader in low compression technology – Wilson Staff – this new FG Tour golf ball will provide an extremely soft feel along with an advanced four-piece construction for superior shot-making Tour playability.
"We are well aware that there is not one ball for every player," admits General Manager of Wilson Golf, Tim Clarke. "We are honest with ourselves and consumers, and that is why our golf ball platform sets golfers with different swings up for success. The new FG Tour is engineered for players who demand soft feel and higher-spinning greenside performance, thus proving to be the golf ball Steen is relying on for his winning play. Obviously it's working."

Psych Creator Teams with Weezer's Rivers Cuomo for Fox Comedy
If this makes it to air, it's gonna have the best theme song ever!
Psych creator Steve Franks has teamed with Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo for a comedy based on the singer-songwriter's life, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Fall TV: Familiar faces in new places
Fox has already given a put-pilot commitment to the single-camera comedy, titled DeTour. The project is described as a coming-of-age story that is slightly out of order. It centers on a 30-something rock star who has trouble coming to terms with his success and subsequently walks away from the spotlight at the height of his fame so that he can rediscover the moments of his life he missed while he was busy skyrocketing up the charts.
In real life, Cuomo took a break from Weezer eight years ago to attend Harvard, where he made friends and met his wife, but somehow failed to get into the school choir.
TV musicals: The highs and lows
Franks will write the script and executive-produce the comedy with Chris Henze (Psych) and Willie Mercer.
Weezer, known for hits "Buddy Holly" and "Island in the Sun," among others, has sold nearly 20 million albums and will release their next effort on Oct. 7. Franks is no stranger to the music industry either. His band, The Friendly Indians, was behind Psych's catchy theme song, "I Know You Know," and Franks wrote all the original music and lyrics for the show's 2013 musical special.
Psych went off the air in March after eight seasons.

Many Kids Still Exposed to Lead Poisoning
This is one of those health concerns you heard a lot about in the 70s and 80s when the government began to take an active role in reducing the amount of lead in our everyday environment.
As long ago as 1904, child lead poisoning was linked to lead-based paints, but it wasnt until 1971 that the Lead-Based Paint Poisoning Prevention Act was passed. Finally in 1978, lead-based paint was banned. The inside and outside of homes built before then most likely were painted with a lead based paint. Since lead is slightly sweet to the taste children are tempted to put fallen paint chips, or peeled chips, into their mouths.
Lead was also an additive used in gasoline till 1986 when it was phased out of production. Tons of lead was released into the atmosphere and eventually found its way into the dirt of playgrounds, and yards.
The banning of lead in these two areas alone has dramatically reduced the number of American children with elevated blood lead levels. Thats extremely good news because lead poisoning can have terrible consequences for children and adults.
But, despite the progress that has been made in the last four decades, about 2.6% of U.S. children aged 1 to 5 years old still have too much lead in their systems, according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Surveys conducted between 2007 and 2010 show that more than half a million children had blood lead levels equal to or above the recommended 5 micrograms per deciliter (mg/dl). A level at, or higher than 5 mcg/dl, is considered a level of concern by the CDC.
Children can be exposed to lead by inhaling it, swallowing it or in rare cases absorbing it through the skin. In the bloodstream it can damage red blood cells, limiting their ability to carry oxygen to the organs and tissues that need it. Lead can end up in the bones and interfere with calcium absorption. It can severely affect mental and physical development and at very high levels, lead poisoning can be fatal.
The report also noted that there are persistent differences in the blood lead levels of children in different racial/ethnic and income groups that are linked to disparities in housing quality, environmental conditions, nutrition and other factors.
Lead can be found in drinking water particularly in homes built before 1986. These homes are more likely to have lead pipes. Tap water can be contaminated through the corrosion of plumbing materials. The most common problem is with brass or chrome-plated brass faucets and fixtures that can leach significant amounts of lead into the water, especially hot water.
Another source where children can be exposed to lead is by chewing or sucking on toys. Toys that have been made in other countries and then imported to the U.S. may contain lead. The CDC has issued hundreds, if not thousands, of recalls for toys and jewelry with moderate to high levels of lead. China appears to be the biggest offender when it comes to adding lead in its childrens toy and jewelry products. Antique toys can also contain lead paint.
Eliminating lead from house paints, gasoline and plumbing has had a profound affect on reducing lead levels in our children. But lead continues to be around and parents should be aware that it is not like a virus or bacteria that has been eradicated from our daily lives.
Except when a child swallows something that has a very high lead content, lead poisoning usually occurs over a period of time with the repeated ingestion of low levels of lead. Children may not show signs of lead poisoning until symptoms appear and even those can mimic other health problems. Its really a good idea to have your child tested for lead blood levels to make sure.
Signs of lead poisoning usually appear as:
- Irritability or behavioral problems
- Difficulty concentrating
- Headaches
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Sluggishness or fatigue
- Abdominal pain
- Vomiting or nausea
- Constipation
- Pallor (pale skin) from anemia
- Metallic taste in mouth
- Muscle and joint weakness or pain
- Seizures
As you can see, all these symptoms can look like something else is going on. Testing is for lead is the only way to know for sure.

So today I went through a couple of my hives. In one of them I found several queen cells.
Thanks for your help Finsky. Please bear with me. I am not sure that I understand exactly.Move the whole hive 10 feet away.In the old place put a new hive with one frame each brood, pollen, honey. The rest empty foundation frames.Then where do I put the queen if I find her? The new or the old hive? I'm guessing in the new hive at the old location....That would make the most sense to me. Is that correct?
As to the Brood , or original hive, what if I break it up into nucs. If I separate each swarm cell or frame of swarm cells into it's own nuc (or in this case medium box). Won't that stop the swarming, while also giving me a few queens?

Keystone rail jam calls for 10 tons of September snow
August 24, 2012
> 9a.m. – check-in, registration and practice
> 10:30 a.m. – Participant meeting
> 11 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. – Preliminary rounds: Male, female, skier and boarder
> 2:45 – 5:30 p.m. – Final rounds: Male, female, skier and boarder
> 5:50 p.m. – Awards
Out of the norm for typical September conditions, 10 tons of snow will be dumped at Keystone Resort for the inaugural A51 River Run Rail Series slated for Sept. 15, where skiers and boarders can compete for some $6,000 in prizes.
Keystone Resort organizers are bringing in a wood chipper and massive amounts of ice to produce some 10 tons of "snow" that will cover the new multi-rail feature.
"We're going to put ice through the wood chipper making a slushy, snow that we'll cover the rail feature," said Keystone Resort spokeswoman Tucker Vest Burton. "It reminds me of good, spring snow – it's not powder, but it will be the best you can find in September."
Registration for the rail session is $15. Participants of all ages are encouraged to register for the event. For spectators, it is free to watch the earliest rail jam session in the state.
The inaugural Sept. 15 rail session gives athletes the chance to compete on chipped snow adjacent to the Summit Express Chairlift.
Event organizers are giving away over $6,000 in prizes, including GoPro WiFi backpack set ups, entries into the Transworld Trans Am, entries into the Freestyle competition at Breck, Epic Summit Passes and more. Season passes will also be available for purchase for the last day of lower season prices.
A maximum number of participants has not yet been set by Keystone Resort, but depending on the popularity, organizers may close registration to the event prior to Sept. 15.
"We haven't set a cap on the session yet, we might have to depending on the interest level," Burton said. "We're already getting a lot of buzz and excitement around the event so it looks like we might have to cap it when it starts to get closer – everyone interested in doing it should sign up as soon as they can."
At the rail session many activities are there for spectator and participants to enjoy like a DJ DC, giveaways, contests, the latest gear from Never Summer and Fat-ypus, food and beverage services, drinks and barbecue available for purchase.
With no snow in the forecast yet, Keystone Resort is getting a head start on the 2012-2013 ski season.
"The Backyard Barbecue Rail Session is Keystone's way of showing we are stoked for winter," Burton said.

Other resorts have experienced success with rail sessions this summer.
Woodward at Copper Mountain hosted Summer Shredding sessions Saturdays during July.
The first session July 14 sold out to a capped 50 participants causing park organizers to expand until conditions permitted.
Skier Jaron Stabler from Silverthorne came out to experience the terrain park.
"This is awesome, you can't beat a Saturday in July doing this in Colorado," Stabler said.
Park organizers are optimistic about the possibility of expanding the Summer Shredding sessions.
"Based on the great turnout from this week's Summer Shredding session, we will look for more opportunities to expand to more sessions in the future," said Ben Brown, director of Woodward at Copper.
The terrain park is located at the base of Copper Mountain near the American Flyer lift and Jack's restaurant.
"We've had a terrain park open during the summer in the past but only during camps," Bush said. "Now it's possible for the public to enjoy and practice the Woodward park."

Senator Rand Paul Softens Stand On Immigration Reform
Senator Rand Paul is softening his stand on immigration reform. In a speech to the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Kentucky Republican embraced a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Paul said, quote, "If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you." Paul once proposed construction of an underground electric fence across the entire U.S.-Mexican border. As a possible White House contender in 2016, Paul said he wants to be "part of the solution" on immigration reform.

Five players are currently away from Arsenal on loan.
Cameroonian midfielder Alexandre Song is getting Premiership
experience after joining Charlton Athletic until the end of the
season while defender Kerrea Gilbert will spend the entire campaign
at Cardiff. Fabrice Muamba and Nicklas Bendtner do likewise at
Birmingham and Arturo Lupoli will spend the rest of the campaign at
Derby County.
Keep up-to-date with the fortunes of all our loan stars in our regular Loan Watch...
Alexandre Song
Charlton Athletic 0-2 Tottenham Hotspur, May 7
Alexandre Song played 71 minutes as Charlton's seven-year spell in the Premiership came to an end in front of the Valley faithful. Needing a win to keep their survival hopes alive, the Addicks were dealt an early blow when Dimitar Berbatov netted just seven minutes in. The hosts rallied and Song went close with a header but an injury-time strike from Jermain Defoe, a one-time Charlton youth player, consigned Alan Pardew's side to the Championship.
Nicklas Bendtner, Fabrice Muamba
Preston North End 1-0 Birmingham City, May 6
Nicklas Bendtner signed off from his loan spell at Birmingham with a defeat, as the Blues were pipped to the Championship title by Sunderland. With promotion already assured Steve Bruce's side were chasing the first second-flight title in their history. Striker Gary McSheffrey wasted a gilt-edged chance from a Bendtner cross early in the second half and paid the price when Simon Whaley struck the hammerblow on 85 minutes. Sunderland's 5-0 win at Luton saw them crowned champions. Another Arsenal loanee, Fabrice Muamba, missed out through suspension.
Arturo Lupoli
Derby County 2-0 Leeds United, May 6
Arturo Lupoli played the final 10 minutes as Derby County ended the league season with victory over relegated Leeds. Darren Currie scored on the stroke of half time to put the Rams ahead before United's Robert Bayly was dismissed on 72 minutes for attempting to head-butt Craig Fagan. Defender Tyrone Mears ensured all three points four minutes from time. Billy Davies' side were already guaranteed third place and will now face Southampton in their Play-Off Semi-Final.
Kerrea Gilbert
Ipswich Town 3-1 Cardiff City, May 6
Kerrea Gilbert came on for the final five minutes as his loan spell and Cardiff's season ended in defeat at Ipswich. Having topped the Championship table in November, just two points from the last 27 sees the Bluebirds finish the season in 13th place. Ex-Arsenal striker Francis Jeffers opened the scoring for the host on four minutes and, although Paul Parry equalised eight minutes before the break, a second-half brace from Jon Walters inflicted a third straight defeat on the Welsh side.

text: This doesn't make any sense. Was Rodney capable of this kind of play the past few years? And he just sandbagged it until his contract year? He is the go to guy late in the game now and Cheeks has a lot of confidence in him. Strange. He was given every possible opportunity in the past and blew it.

A new Guinness World Record was set on Friday July 11th for the longest game of Chinese Whispers involving 1,330 children and celebrities from the world of sport and entertainment. Staged at Arsenal Football Club's Emirates Stadium, the record breaking children raised more than £100,000 for Save the Children and Arsenal's Charity of the Season, TreeHouse, the national charity for autism education.
The attempt which lasted for 2 hours and 4 minutes beat the existing record held by the Cycling Club of Chengdu, China, involving 1083 people in 2006. In the last 2 years, there have been seven unsuccessful attempts to smash the record.
With monitors from Guinness World Records? in attendance, the children formed a huge circular formation seated in Emirates Stadium's lower East Stand, and the Chinese Whisper started with the message 'Together we will make a world of difference' highlighting to the children that by working together they can help others lead happier, healthier lives.
The message was communicated in a variety of ways. Most of the children whispered the message but those unable to use speech as their main form of communication, used a language programme called Makaton. This is a language involving signs and symbols designed for those with a variety of communication and learning difficulties.
After the message had passed 200 children it had changed to 'We're breaking a record' and after 500 children it was recorded as 'Everyone is evil'. By the time the message reached the last child, it had changed dramatically and was read out as simply; 'Haaaaa'.
Organised by BI, a communication and motivation company, in partnership with Arsenal FC, TreeHouse and Save the Children, the event saw children aged 7-11 from the Milton Keynes area, join forces with children from north London who participate in Arsenal in the Community initiatives and children's groups associated with both charities.
Money raised through the event will be used to further TreeHouse's plans to open a National Centre for Autism Education in north London and will raise money for Save the Children's biggest-ever global campaign to stop 10 million children dying each year before their fifth birthday.
Also supporting the event were Nick Hornby, Ainsley Harriott and Dermot O'Leary. Arsenal legends Charlie George and John Radford were joined by ex-England rugby player Austin Healy, Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley, impressionist Jon Culshaw, former England and Crystal Palace star John Salako, actress Michelle Collins and Holby City stars Amanda Mealing and Duncan Pow to cheer the children on and see them smash the record.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

text: Glad you liked it! I made it that same night and it was very yummy, and even better after a night marinating in the fridge On the eggplant. I'm intrigued to hear that you don't salt them either. I always see in recipes that salting eggplant is a must, but I never do it and have never had a problem, and nobody I know does it. What gives? My biggest problem with eggplant is that it soaks up oil so quickly! I've heard that soaking pieces in ice cold water immediately after slicing will help with this, but I never remember this until my eggplant is already in the pot (and probably sticking to the bottom ) ETA: Thanks Artemis for the fish sauce recipe! Can't wait to try it

Winter Tires – Yea or Nay?
December 31st, 2015
In a lot of parts of the country, the winters are tough enough that all-season tires just won't get the job done. All-season tires are a compromise; they offer good year-round traction with a quiet ride, good handling and road manners. They tend to perform well in wet weather and light wintry conditions, but when the snow is more than a couple of inches deep, all-season tires are out of their league. That's when it's time to consider winter tires.
Today's winter tires are a long way from the heavy, noisy, clumsy "snow tires" or "mud grips" that your dad might have had on his station wagon 40 years ago. Modern winter tires are designed for noise, handling, steering response and road manners that rival grand tourin ...[more]

Squeeze a Few More Miles Out of That Gallon of Gas
December 17th, 2015
If you're past "a certain age," you might remember when gas was $1.50 per gallon, or $1.00 per gallon, or 59 cents, or what-have-you…but the truth is that everything has gotten more expensive. After all, when gas was $1.00 per gallon, a nicely tricked-out Chevrolet Caprice Classic was selling for about $6,000 brand new.
Now that we're well into the 21st century, gas prices are likely to fluctuate, but one thing's for sure: gas is likely to never be "cheap" again. We know that everyone's trying to get a little more out of every dollar, and whether you're driving a big SUV or a subcompact, there are things you can do to help your vehicle's fuel economy:

In honor of ZFH week, we'll be featuring a zinester feature EVERY DAY! Ohh yes, you read correctly. So strap on your raybans and adjust your tommy bahama gear, as we journey through the forbidden pleasures enjoyed on Skweegie Island!
portrait of the artist as a young garbuckle
What is your favorite part of zine fest?
Pronouncing "zine" with a long i, like "wine," and insisting that's how you say it. It's almost as fun as saying "Star Track" at a sci-fi convention, or emphasizing the second syllable in "Marvel" (mar-VEL) at a comic con. I also enjoy the process of describing a book of mine to someone, just to have them tell me they only like the opposite thing.
What is something that you're looking forward to about the 2013 Zine Fest Houston?
Xeroxing my butt with the Gutenberg press. (ed: noooooooooo! yeeeeeessss!)
What new projects are you working on this year?
I'm working on a comic book love letter to my hometown's long-gone video store, Fred's TV & Video. Well, maybe not a "love letter." I mean, don't write love letters to dead things; it's just sick. But apparently there was a monkey in the back of the store that didn't actually exist (?)
What will be on your table at this year's Zine Fest?
The complete smorgasbord of Skweegie Island comic books! YES!!!! EVERYTHING YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!
Why does self-publishing appeal to you?
It's like running my own little world. Nobody can tell me what goes and what doesn't go, and the only struggles over content are internal. I mean sure, nobody buys… But, oh! how sickeningly satisfying it is to stare at a library of my own creation.
What is/are your favorite place(s) in Houston?
Astroworld is pretty fun. Let's go there!

...is it reasonable to assume that part of winter prep for a TBH would be to move the active bee frames to one end or the other?
If you build the top bars with a bee space between them and a cover that allows room for the bees to travel the top of the top bars. Like using lang frames in the hive. What do you think? waste of time?
These are a little off topic. On a horizontal hive, with a front entrance, should the first frame be set back 1/2 bee space? Measuring from the front wall; your have bee space, then comb depth which brings you to the center of the first frame. right?After that the bee space is split between the adjoining frames....
...it seems Beethinking sells TBH with a side entrance, and I'm trying to figure out how exactly that functions without splitting the hive to either side of the entrance.

Yoga Leggings
What to Look for in Yoga Leggings: Having the right yoga leggings can be as important as having the right mat for your practice. Yoga leggings are diverse as the different styles of yoga, and depending on the style of yoga you are into there is a legging for that! The main thing to think about is having a yoga legging that has the correct cut and fabric for your practice. Yogis who enjoy a slower more subtle practice will find soft luxurious fabrics like organic cotton and bamboo to be a perfect compliment for hanging out in pigeon pose for awhile. Hot yogis need a lot more moisture absorption from fabrics like recycled PET, Supplex, and Lycra. These fabrics dry quickly and create a second skin feel to your yoga leggings so they'll stay up and with you as you move through out your sun salutations.
Brands to Look Out For: Yoga leggings is kinda what we do here at Evolve. We love them and the number of brands and different types can seem overwhelming, so we're super happy to help you figure out what brand best matches your individual style. Brands like Synergy, Omgirl, LVR Fashion are made from Organic materials and feature a large range of tie dye washes, solids, and patterns in every color from your basic black and white leggings to pineapple yellow. We love the LVR Organic Bamboo Stripe Legging for fun tie dye stripes and a variety of colors. For a great supplex legging we love brands like Beyond Yoga and KiraGrace which both feature solids and prints in super high quality fabrics that will stay with you as you move through practice. For hot yogis we love printed leggings from brands like Teeki, Anjali, and Yoga Democracy which are all made from Recycled PET a fabric made of recycled water bottles. Of course there are tons of of other brands killing it in the printed legging game like Onzie, Dona Jo, and Liquido Active which all are made for hot yoga, but can be worn to any yoga class.
Trending Now: Trends in yoga leggings have long shifted away from the day of your standard black yoga leggings that work to hide a woman's curves. We are embracing our awesome individual body types with leggings that fit our personalities and personal fashion sense. This last season we have seen some really cool takes on unique camoflauge, snake skin, and bright geometric patterns. Mesh leggings have also found a huge following allowing yogis to add a little bit of chic to their workout wardrobe brands like Onzie, Kira Grace, and Alo have this game on lock. Countouring body seams which look amazing and make your body look amazing is another huge trend, for this we love the Vimmia Reversible Speed Pant. Finally, the look of sleek glossy fabrics have been pouring in with yoga leggings like the DYI High Glossy Long Legging and the Jala Clothing Vegan Legging.

Most plain bagels are very low in saturated fat. They usually contain no cholesterol or sugar and are a good source of thiamin.

But bagel nutrition can vary depending on the brand that you buy. For example, Lender's Plain New York Style Bagels (frozen) only provide 230 calories but are made with high fructose corn syrup. As a result, you'll consume three grams of sugar with each bagel that you eat.

Another issue to think about when you buy a bagel is the size of the product. Bagels have gotten bigger over the years. According to the National Institutes of Health, 20 years ago a standard bagel was just three inches in diameter and had 140 calories. Now a typical plain bagel in many delis and bakeries can measure up to six inches in diameter and can add 350 calories to your daily calorie count.

Different varieties of bagels also provide different nutrition. For example, calories in a cinnamon raisin bagel are much higher because of the extra sugar and fruit. A Cinnamon Swirl and Raisin Bagel at Panera provides 320 calories, 66 grams of carbohydrate and 11 grams of sugar.

Often savory bagels don't fare any better. A cheddar pesto bagel at Bruegger's provides 420 calories, 10 grams of fat and 9 grams of sugar.

Health Benefits of Bagels

Your favorite bagel may be a source of refined carbohydrates. That means that the grains used to make the products have been processed by a food manufacturer so that the whole grain is no longer intact. The refining or milling process removes dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. In general, nutritionists recommend that you limit your intake of refined grains.

You can usually tell if a food is refined if the label says that it is enriched. Enriched products are those that have had some nutrients added back in during production. But these foods are still often lacking fiber—an important nutrient in a balanced diet.

And what about whole wheat bagels? One whole wheat bagel is equivalent to eating about 4-6 slices of bread, which means it is very carbohydrate dense and can raise blood sugars. For that reason, they're not usually recommended for people with diabetes.

Selecting and Storing Your Bagels

Knowing that not all bagels are created equal, be mindful of the kind you're buying and its portion size. Ask about their freshness to be sure you're not buying day (or two!) old bagels.

When you do buy a few, keep them fresh by storing at room temperature in a plastic bag. You might think that refrigerating will make them last longer, but the opposite is usually true. You can freeze them for up to 4 months, however, and them warm them up in the oven when you're ready to enjoy them again.

How to Make Your Bagel More Healthy

If you are trying to cut back on carbs or limit your intake of refined bread products, there are a few things you can do to make your bagel-based meal more healthy.

Make an open-face sandwich. You don't have to use both halves of the bagel when you make a sandwich. Skip the upper part and simply top your bagel bottom with lean meats and veggies.

Scoop out your bagel. If you like having both a top and a bottom bagel, then scoop out the middle. Use a spoon and remove the soft middle part. Build your sandwich around the bagel crust.

Go whole grain. Even though whole wheat bagels still provide more calories and carbs, a whole grain choice is still better than a refined product because you get the dietary benefits of fiber.

Watch for added sugar. Most sweet bagels will add to your sugar intake for the day. Check the ingredients and try to choose a bagel without corn syrup or other added sweeteners.

Toppings matter too! Even though bagel calories matter, the calories in your topping will add up as well. And a bigger bagel will require more toppings. So watch what you layer on top. Skip the butter and the high-calorie cream cheese. Go for healthy veggies, hummus or make a healthy bagel pizza with fresh ingredients.

text: No. 14/15 Men's Lacrosse Downs Michigan 12-5 in ECAC Semifinals Courtesy: Fairfield University May 01, 2014 Courtesy: Fairfield University Related Links Box Score Postgame Press Conference Photo Album Sign Up For Free Email Updates COLUMBUS, Ohio – The No. 14/15 Fairfield University men's lacrosse team downed fourth-seeded University of Michigan, 12-5, in the ECAC Lacrosse League Championship semifinal this evening at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. The top-seeded Stags improve to 12-3 on the season and tie the program record for victories as they advance to their third ECAC Championship final in the last four seasons. Fairfield will face third-seeded Air Force in the final on Saturday, May 3 at 5pm live on Fox Sports 2. The Stags' lone ECAC loss this season came against the Falcons. Junior Colin McLinden scored a career-high four goals to power the Fairfield offense while junior Tristan Sperry had three assists. Senior Eric Warden had a three-point day with two goals and an assist. Sophomore TJ Neubauer and freshman Jake Knostman each tallied two goals. Senior Jack Murphy had an outstanding night in goal. The ECAC Goalkeeper of the Year stopped 15 shots, tying a season-high, and came away with four groundballs. Both teams had their chances in the early going but outstanding goalkeeping by Robbie Zonino and Murphy kept the game scoreless until midway through the second quarter. With just under 10 minutes remaining in the period, the Stags won a battle at the end line of the Michigan zone. Sperry broke out of the pack and found a wide open Knostman who bounced a shot by Zonino. Michigan (5-11) got the equalizer with 3:33 left in the second quarter. Ian King picked up a ground ball and sent quick shot past Murphy for the Wolverines' first goal of the day. With 18.1 seconds remaining, McLinden returned the lead to the Fairfield, using a screen to go top corner on Zonino and make the score 2-1, a score which would hold at the break. Fairfield didn't waste any time scoring in the second half as Neubauer ducked around a defender and went five-hole on Zonino for his 32nd goal of the year at 13:17. Just three minutes later, Sperry found McLinden who wrapped around the back of the cage and stuck in his second goal of the game to push the lead to 4-1. At 9:31 in the third quarter, the Stags turned the ball over at midfield and it proved costly as King cut the deficit in half, 4-2, with his second goal of the game. Senior Shawn Honovich made it a three-goal game with 2:42 left in the quarter, scoring his first goal of the year in transition. Michigan answered with 44.7 seconds left as Riley Kennedy scored to pull the Wolverines within 5-3. Fairfield scored 40 seconds into the fourth quarter as McLinden zipped a shot by Zonino for his third goal of the day. Warden made it a four-goal game at 12:59 with his 30th goal of the season. Michigan got it back at 11:59 on a goal by Brendan Gaughan to pull Michigan with 7-4. Sperry connected with McLinden once more at 9:40 while Warden found Dave Fleming just 1:29 later to push the lead to 9-4. Knostman notched Fairfield's fourth unanswered goal at 6:03 for his second of the game. After Michigan cut it to 10-5 with 3:54 remaining, Neubauer and Warden scored in a 20-second span to push the lead to 12-5. Senior Michael Roe went 13-for-20 at the faceoff X with eight groundballs. Fairfield had 35 ground balls on the night. Senior Toby Armour had two caused turnovers and three ground balls. McLinden added three ground balls while Neubauer had a pair of ground balls.

Recession's Impact on the Workforce
March 2012
Tom Heintjes: Welcome to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta's EconSouth Now podcast. Today, we're joined by Nicole Smith. Nicole is a senior economist at the Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce, where she leads the center's econometric and methodological work. Nicole has developed a framework for restructuring long-term occupational and educational projections. This framework forms the underlying methodology for "Help Wanted," a report that projects education demand for occupations in the U.S. economy through 2020. She is part of a team of economists working on a project to map, forecast, and monitor human capital development and career pathways. She'll be speaking with us today about the effects of recession on the workforce. Thank you for joining us today, Nicole.
Nicole Smith: Thank you for having me.
Heintjes: Nicole, I'd like to start by asking you about your work. Much of your work focuses on the linkages between education and labor market outcomes. Can you tell us a little bit about this relationship?
Smith: Well, traditionally education and the labor market have existed in two distinct silos. Educators often concern themselves with the goal of creating well-rounded citizens, well-rounded citizens with the ability to learn and to absorb learning and to teach themselves. So, it's all about creating this person for the greater good—a social benefit. And when you think of the labor market, the labor market then concerns itself with production, productivity, output growth, creating goods and services for the nation. So, these are the traditional roles, and we understand that the labor market will use the fruits of the education system, but there is often little effort made on the part of educators to fulfill the demand by employers. Any attempt to do so is often judged negatively by educators if you tell them, "Well, how are you preparing students for the workforce?" You hear terms such as "the commodification of education." It's frequently frowned upon, as if surely education has more noble goals than creating foot soldiers of capitalism.
So what has happened is that we have education existing solely, independently for the creation of this citizen, this good citizen, a well-rounded individual. We have the labor market existing to produce goods and services using the pipeline from education, but they are in two distinct silos. Employers have often, on the other hand, lamented the inadequacies of the employees handed down to them. You hear lots of stories about knowledge, skills, and abilities that for all intents and purposes should have been learned in the education system [but] remain wanting. You even hear stories about soft skills, such as communication skills and networking and general people skills that have grown in importance in this 21st century requirement, but they still remain insufficient.
What's happened is that we spend all our time, at least in the Center on Education and the Workforce, trying to get rid of these really distinct silos and to foster greater communication between both groups and to bridge the gap. Getting rid of the silos is challenging, mainly because it goes against rigid tradition. But particularly, if you think of the aftermath of this "Great Recession" of 2007, if you can't use the education you've obtained to get a job, then what good is it? Gainful-employment legislation most recently—which was targeted at for-profit institutions—really gets to the core of this rationale. You talk about "gainful employment," saying, "In order for for-profits to use government funds, they ought to at least demonstrate that once you have completed this particular education requirement, you can obtain a job that will allow you to pay it back." So while we don't want to diminish all the other important goals of education, it is important that once you get an education that you are competent to perform the job or create your own. Those two things should be at the top of the list. So there really needs to be closer connectivity between what educators are teaching students or what they teach students to teach themselves, and what demands of the job markets are so that people who leave—once you leave your educational institution and you walk into that job—are much more competent to perform adequately.
Heintjes: Right. Thanks for clarifying that. Nicole, this economic downturn was marked by a surge in the ranks of the long-term unemployed. I want to ask you, to what extent does the level of educational attainment factor into the size of the long-term unemployed cohort, and further, how was educational attainment related to long-term unemployment in the most recent recession versus earlier ones?
Smith: Well, first let's gather some statistics. Right now, 5.6 million people in the U.S. have been unemployed for six months or more. That's 43 percent of all unemployed and just about 4 percent of the entire labor force. When you look at the composition of the long-term unemployed, the labor market has shown that they are disproportionately African-American, they are disproportionately a minority, and slightly more likely to be male, and—as you pointed out—significantly more likely to have a high school diploma as their highest level of education attained. So the long-term unemployed, as a whole, face far greater obstacles than anyone else, and these obstacles are real as well as psychological. Surely, we are talking about temporary lack of demand for goods all around. We know that there have been 8.2 million jobs lost since the recession began. We know that the industries hardest hit have been industries that are traditionally minority-based, such as construction and manufacturing. So employers begin to be concerned regarding whether the long-term unemployed are indeed employable and [whether] you have a reinforced outcome as a result. So if you put down on your resume the length of time since your last employment, that in and of itself becomes a disadvantage to you.
Heintjes: Right. And I just wanted to get a context in the current situation with the long-term unemployed versus earlier recessions and earlier downturns. Has it always been the case that this is the way it is?
Smith: Well, we've always had long-term unemployed but never to this extent—first to the size of the long-term unemployed that we see now, as well as the length of time. The length of time that people remain unemployed long term is much longer now than it was in previous recessions.
Heintjes: Right.
Smith: So, that's something that has really, really grown over time.
Heintjes: Nicole, we know that women today are more likely than men to get a college degree. Did these differences in educational attainment between men and women factor into the unemployment gap we saw during the recession, where men suffered significantly higher job losses than women?
Smith: Well, part of that is true. It's true that women disproportionately were less unemployed than men were, but the reasons are far more complicated than simply "women have more education." Women are very peculiar. And if you think of the types of jobs that are traditionally dominated by women, you can think of things such as nursing, teachers, health-care workers—all which have this sort of underlying caregiver component to them. So now when you look at the industrial composition of jobs—where the job losses are and where the job growth was—you find that the biggest losses were in manufacturing, the biggest losses were in construction, and those are very, very male-dominated industries.
Heintjes: Yes.
Smith: And those are the ones that hemorrhaged the most jobs. During the recession, the only two sectors that continued to add jobs were health care and education. You know, when you have so many more women in health care, it makes them better off.
But another interesting thing is that women are often able to take on, or have traditionally taken on, jobs that pay lower wages than men. Or outside of the recession, a lot more women came into the workforce. The participation rate for women—especially in two-parent homes when the men lost a job—the women came into the market and started working, even if it was for less money. So that's a concern for us as well. People talk about the fact that it's a "mancession" and more women are working, but they're working at lower wages.
Heintjes: That actually leads me into my next question for you, which is, was this actually a "mancession" relative to other recessions or is that a little misleading?
Smith: The preoccupation with the males, I think, can be a little bit misleading because it gives you the impression that men were specifically targeted, but in reality, it's the choices—the occupations that men were in and the industries that men were in—those were the ones that felt the brunt of the recession. Therefore, because men were in those industries, then men were disproportionately affected. Construction, for example, is male-dominated. Of the 8.2 million jobs, 2 million of those were lost in construction, 2.1 million in manufacturing. So when we talk about where jobs were lost, it is true that men are the ones that suffered the most, because they were found in industries that lost a lot of workers. And women were concentrated in health care and education—or even government, for example, which also fared okay and weathered the storm during the recession.
Heintjes: So what I'm hearing is that this outcome is not really dissimilar from past downturns.
Smith: Well, not so much. When you look at the 2001 recession, for example, that recession was also largely led by manufacturing, with huge amounts of manufacturing losses. Manufacturing employed two out of every five American workers in 1979, and that number has now dropped to maybe one in nine workers, or one in ten workers. So manufacturing, although it continues to lose workers, it also is a very productive industry. That is often a difficult pill to swallow because we often say that manufacturing is a victim of its own success. Because it's been so successful at doing more with less workers, then the workers that remain—or at least the types of jobs that remain—are required to have a lot more skill than they did in the past, and those workers are extremely productive. Just to throw a statistic out there: in 1979—which is some of the research we have done on manufacturing—productivity per worker was about $100,000 to 1. For every worker out, that worker contributed about $100,000 per household. In 2008, the productivity per worker was about $300,000 to 1.
Heintjes: Wow.
Smith: And we moved from two in five to one in nine workers, so we were able to increase productivity substantially by using less and less workers.
Heintjes: That is remarkable. Nicole, I wanted to touch on something you mentioned earlier. As you noted, some of the hardest-hit groups during the recession were men, younger workers, the less educated, and some minority groups, especially blacks and Hispanics. How have these groups historically fared during economic recoveries, and is this recovery following similar patterns?
Smith: Well, historically, black unemployment levels have always been twice as high as that of whites, in and out of recession. Just to give you some examples in the recent past, if black or African-American unemployment rate was about 16 percent, you have a comparable 8 percent for whites. If I think of a ratio of three to one, that's the ratio of unemployment between those with a high school or a college degree. Three to one, young versus old workers. If one in five young white workers is unemployed, then two in five—or closer to three in five—young black workers are unemployed. So once you look at unemployment by race and unemployment by gender, African-Americans and Latinos are far more likely—especially if they are young, which we define as under 24—to be unemployed.
Your question is how is that different from the past. It's very, very similar to recessions we've seen in the past. There's a phenomenon we like to call "first fired, last hired" when we are describing what happens with African-Americans in recessions. And we found that by looking at recessions, you can often use the unemployment rate of African-Americans as an indicator of what will happen a few months down the road to the rest of the population. So we have an issue here that the unemployment data over the past recessions tell an interesting trend.
Heintjes: What are you able to infer from what you are seeing now?
Smith: What we are able to infer now is that once you look at the unemployment rate by race, you realize that all these months outside of the recession, you have a lot more minorities being rehired again. Their rate of rehiring only often lags that of white Americans by a few months, so this is actually giving us really good signs that we are in the recovery and that we are seeing a substantial amount of recovery here.
But I want to just answer a little bit of a question that you haven't asked, which is what we expect in the future. And we should really be concerned about the change in demography in the nation. By 2050, the Census Bureau has forecast that if you were to add up the number of Latinos and African-Americans in the country, their numbers collectively would be larger than the white population, so by 2050 the minority becomes the majority.
Well, why are we concerned about this? We are concerned because traditionally minorities have been less educated and have lower levels of attainment, and it's been much more difficult to attach to the labor force. Labor force participation rates are also different. So these can have really distinct outcomes for output overall and productivity. So my concern here would be, outside of this recession, how do we ensure that the long-term unemployed are better connected to the workforce? How do we retrain those who have lost their jobs, jobs that aren't coming back? How do we retrain them for new opportunities in the future? How do we retrain them for the jobs that return?
Heintjes: I can see where that is quite a challenge. Nicole, you mentioned earlier that young people were one of the hardest-hit groups during the downturn. How does missing out on work skills affect outcomes for them over the longer term?
Smith: Well, whether you're young or old, you don't want to sit on your skills. You don't want to sit on your old skills and not develop new ones. We have to consider ourselves now as living in a society where everyone is constantly learning. You're constantly ensuring that you are at the cutting edge of new technology, that you are useful, and that you can make a contribution. And part of that is through educating yourself. When we think about educating yourself, it's not necessarily going back to school as a 40-year-old or a 50-year-old to get a bachelor's degree, but you can consider stackable certificates, you could consider postsecondary vocational certificates and other industry-based licenses and certificates, something that better connects you to the marketplace, better demonstrates your abilities to do the skill, or better demonstrates your ability at the job.
If you have to consider the alternative—suppose I'm disconnected from the market for this amount of time—I think people should be thinking of how best to place themselves so that they can hit the ground running when the new opportunities arise. When we talk about retraining and postsecondary education and training, it's not necessarily a bachelor's degree. But we can talk about middle skills, postsecondary vocational certificates, industry-based licenses—anything like that, which shows or demonstrates that you now have the capacity to work on these new machines—you now have the capacity to attach yourself to the new type of technology that's out there.
Heintjes: Nicole, I want to thank you so much for you time and talking to us today. It was a really fascinating conversation.
Smith: Thank you.
Heintjes: Again, we've been speaking today with Nicole Smith of Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. This concludes our EconSouth Now podcast on the recession's effects on the workforce.

It's that time of year again when humankind is split into two very distinct groups. The former comprises those who did their Christmas shopping in August and have now only to ponder whether wrapping paper looks better adorned with a classic curly ribbon or a festive sprig of holly.
The rest of us may be feeling less serene, tearing up and down high streets – and tearing our hair out – completely stumped by the infinite variety of gift sets, limited editions, froth and tat offered up for us to spend our hard-earned cash on this Christmas.
Wouldn't it just be easier if you could buy everyone vouchers?
Enough of this Grinchery; if you have to buy your loved ones something this Christmas, you may as well get them something they'll be grateful for. And there's something out there that will bring a smile to that special someone's face, whatever your budget.
In the olden days, hats, gloves, scarves and socks were the ideal accessories to bestow at this time of year. They still are, but they have evolved – now, you can also buy all manner of socks and scarves for the gadgets in your guy's life, too. A brightly coloured iPad sleeve is the modern equivalent of a jaunty tie.
Add to that the scope nowadays for male vanity and there are any number of manly accessories to choose from – bags, boxers, even a de luxe Paul Smith toothbrush.
There's plenty of choice for the ladies, too, whether you're looking to break the bank or simply get the most bang for your buck. The high street comes into its own, with eye-catching and bold bags and shoes which will come into their own for New Year's Eve but last well beyond that too. Similarly, a cosy knit is for life, not just for Christmas – though some of the sludgy burgundy-ish hues on offer at the moment offer a rather more refined take on the traditional festive jumper. Not a reindeer in sight.
And if all else fails: chocolate. Everyone loves chocolate – almost as much as they love vouchers.

Hi I am wondering if any other photographers have been approached by a firm based in Santa Barbara,USA called World Wide Art Books ?
They claim they have seen your images on your website and ask if you wish to participate in there book publication,International Masters of Photography, Vol2.
There is a rather large fee and they say it is a great promotional tool as they distribute the books to galleries,collectors and other photographic interests, all around the world.
I am concerned this might be vanity press scam. I do not want to waste my money on a publication that will not deliver any promotional benefits for me.
Would appreciate any feedback,good or bad, to help me decide.

Add Gesture Search to your Android apps
June 8th, 2011 | Published in Google Code, Uncategorized
By Yang Li, Research Scientist
Gesture Search from Google Labs now has an API. You can use the API to easily integrate Gesture Search into your Android apps, so your users can gesture to write text and search for application-specific data. For example, a mobile ordering application for a restaurant might have a long list of menu items; with Gesture Search, users can draw letters to narrow their search.
Another way to use Gesture Search is to enable users to select options using gestures that correspond to specific app functions, like a touch screen version of keyboard shortcuts, rather than forcing hierarchical menu navigation.
In this post, I'll demonstrate how we can embed Gesture Search (1.4.0 or later) into an Android app that enables a user to find information about a specific country. To use Gesture Search, we first need to create a content provider named
CountryProvider, according to the format required by Android Search framework. This content provider consists of 238 country names.
Then, in GestureSearchAPIDemo, the main activity of the app, we invoke Gesture Search when a user selects a menu item. (Gesture Search can be invoked in other ways depending on specific applications.) To do this, we create an Intent with the action
"com.google.android.apps.gesturesearch.SEARCH" and the URI of the content provider. If the data is protected (for example, see AndroidManifest.xml), we also need to grant read permission for the content URI to Gesture Search. We then call
startActivityForResult to invoke Gesture Search.
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {In the code snippet above, we also specify that we want to show all of the country names when Gesture Search is brought up by
menu.add(0, GESTURE_SEARCH_ID, 0, R.string.menu_gesture_search)
.setShortcut('0', 'g').setIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_search);
return true;
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case GESTURE_SEARCH_ID:
try {
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.putExtra(SHOW_MODE, SHOW_ALL);
intent.putExtra(THEME, THEME_LIGHT);
startActivityForResult(intent, GESTURE_SEARCH_ID);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
Log.e("GestureSearchExample", "Gesture Search is not installed");
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
intent.putExtra(SHOW_MODE, SHOW_ALL). The parameter name and its possible values are defined as follows:
/**As you can see in the code, when Gesture Search appears, we can show a recently selected country name, or nothing. Gesture Search then appears with a list of all the country names. The user can draw gestures directly on top of the list and a target item will pop up at the top. When a user taps a country name, Gesture Search exits and returns the result to the calling app. The following method is invoked for processing the user selection result, reading the Id and the name of the chosen data item.
* Optionally, specify what should be shown when launching Gesture Search.
* If this is not specified, SHOW_HISTORY will be used as a default value.
private static String SHOW_MODE = "show";
/** Possible values for invoking mode */
// Show the visited items
private static final int SHOW_HISTORY = 0;
// Show nothing (a blank screen)
private static final int SHOW_NONE = 1;
// Show all of date items
private static final int SHOW_ALL = 2;
* The theme of Gesture Search can be light or dark.
* By default, Gesture Search will use a dark theme.
private static final String THEME = "theme";
private static final int THEME_LIGHT = 0;
private static final int THEME_DARK = 1;
/** Keys for results returned by Gesture Search */
private static final String SELECTED_ITEM_ID = "selected_item_id";
private static final String SELECTED_ITEM_NAME = "selected_item_name";
@OverrideTo use the Gesture Search API, you must be sure Gesture Search is installed. To test this condition, catch
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
case GESTURE_SEARCH_ID:
long selectedItemId = data.getLongExtra(SELECTED_ITEM_ID, -1);
String selectedItemName = data.getStringExtra(SELECTED_ITEM_NAME);
// Print out the Id and name of the item that is selected
// by the user in Gesture Search
Log.d("GestureSearchExample", selectedItemId + ": " + selectedItemName);
ActivityNotFoundException as shown in the above code snippet and display a MessageBox asking the user to install Gesture Search.

Heys Guys,
I'm from Northern Calif. Sacramento area. Hunted a lot of different refuges with my father on weekends. We had Wednesdays at the club in Gustine for over 20 years. I moved here some 5 years ago and now things are right to get back into having some fun. Bag limits seem a bit different here. Cali was 7 ducks (any kind) and 6 geese (only one Ross').
Reading here about only 1 Sprig.... wow... bummer. Anyways, looking at the refuges shows Havasu looking the most respectable. I haven't located any clubs with blinds for lease, but that would be my goal.
If anyone has any information on places to go or a blind for lease, I would appreciate it. Thanks guys, Art Walters

The Commodities Market Impact On Vermont
12/04/12 12:40PM By Jane Lindholm, Sage Van Wing

A drought in the middle of the country can affect farmers in Vermont, even if they've had a perfectly moderate summer. That's largely to do with prices on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, for things like corn and other grains. Bob Parsons, an agricultural economist at the University of Vermont Extension, explains the impact those prices have on Vermont.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Recently, there have been a number of zine fests that have not been wheelchair accessible, including the NYC Zinefest, and Canzine. I also believe Expozine was held at an inaccessible spot.
What gives? What can we, as a zine community, do to make sure this doesn't happen? I know that the inaccessibility of these spaces is not even acknowledged beforehand, so people arrived at the NY Zinefest unable to get inside. I'm not sure if that happened at Canzine, but it doesn't matter. It should NOT be held at a inaccessible site.
I would urge anyone who knows of an inaccessible zine fest or event to let the organizers know you will not be attending and why. Access should never be optional or an afterthought.

Thank you for your insight. Truly.
whatpeoplearethinking said:
You're making generalizations. Some people just enjoy getting about in wheelchairs. I have seen wheelchair basketball matches before where at the end of the game a bunch of the players get up out of their chairs and walk around. They don't need them, they just like riding about on them.
I would say that a person who is poor due to reasons out of their control is worse off than a person who chooses to use a wheelchair.
Bree Adorn said:Comparing your lack of a budget for a hotel to someone having unavoidable physical restrictions is ridiculous.
I was tangentially involved with planning one of the Portland Zine Symposiums, and by that I mean I really didn't do anything other than go to meetings, but I know people put a lot of time and energy into organizing these events. There are tons of things to think about and even important stuff can get neglected,especially if the organizers are new to it. While it's not that difficult to make sure rooms are wheelchair accessible, ASL interpreters are provided, and so on, I think anyone planning to attend who requires something like that should drop the organizers an e-mail so they can see to it. I know it's busted to have to constantly educate people about these things, but it also feels awful to organize something and realize you've inadvertently made it alienating to someone. I disagree with James, I think there is a zine community, however loose, and it's up to us to make it the community we want. One of the things that attracted me to zines, and I imagine a lot of other people, too, is how approachable everyone is, there isn't (or at least shouldn't be) any sort of hierarchy, there isn't the producer/consumer dichotomy of other media. I can't imagine any fest/zymposium organizers would totally disregard a request to make their event as accessible as possible.
To that end, I think this discussion is really helpful and I'm glad it's happening.
I'm really glad Erin started this thread! Some friends and I are trying to get together an LA Zine Fest for next year (and by trying, I mean, we talk about it when we're drunk!), and one of the venues I had in mind is probably not wheelchair accessible, something that I stupidly didn't even think about until I read this thread. So that place is crossed off the list for sure now!
So seriously, thanks for bringing this up. It's definitely something that needs to be talked about!
this makes me sad and mad. zine spaces should be accessible indeed. accessible in all ways: for those with disabilities, blind, deaf, language barriers (at least get translators for common languages, or at least common languages in the area the fest is in), all different gender bathrooms, etc. (any other ways you can think of?)
I have no idea what to do about it since I'm pretty new to the community and haven't really been to any zine fests or anything yet, but I will remember to keep all this in mind.
thanks for pointing it out, Erin.
bumping this thread because this issue is important and relevant.
I agree with Dave R and also with the courtesy with which he expresses himself.
I tabled at the NYC zine fest and a few days before, was approached by some others who had signed up to table asking that I join them in protesting the fest's lack of free childcare.
Perhaps some of you who do not have children are not aware that this can be a big issue for parents ... or perhaps you do as I can think of several articles in fairly well circulated / high profile zines about the need to make sure people with little children feel welcome at activist spaces and events - which we can extend to zine spaces and events.
I should say that my own kids are now old enough to rumble around a zine fair on their own and depending on the location, even take the subway home together if they're bored. And when littler, they were not the Yay!!! FREE CHILDCARE types ... they were more like, I want to stay with you and take the money, or go around and touch everything types.
Anyway, I bring this up because of several reasons :
1) Potential zine fest organizers are using this thread as a sounding board for what the public needs in order to have a good, safe, accessible, well-provided-for zine fest
2) No one else has mentioned childcare
3) Although I believe in the righteousness of free childcare at zine fests, in this particular instance, I wished the request had been filed a lot earlier than a few days before and I was distressed by the rude, accusatory tone of some of those asking for it, not wanting to have that tone assigned to me by association. I reckoned that the organizers would be plenty stressed out anyway because the fest was but a few days away - loading the cannon with red hot terms like insensitivity and boycott and firing every couple of minutes from a variety of directions seemed unproductive and rude to me. Better a firm, polite, vigilant pressure that starts well before deadline.
For those wondering how this specific story ends, at the zero hour, the wish for free childcare was accommodated. The provider was associated with one of those making the request. It did not get much business, though if it had been in place by the time the posters and ads were being drafted, perhaps it would have.
It seems like for a small or one off event, where even finding a space can be difficult, our expectations should be lower. We did one Seattle convention in a gallery up a flight of stairs and no one thought about it, but it sucked even for able-bodied folks hauling all your boxes up a long flight of stairs. Live and learn. And discussions like this are great for people thinking of doing their first event. Most public spaces - galleries, VFW or community halls, punk clubs, libraries, public schools and rented halls will already be ADA accessible because they have to, which makes them a great option. There's really no excuse for a large established zine fair/conference to not think about these larger issues, I help put on a pinball and arcade show each year that draws 3,500 people, it's definitely something talked about and planned for. Although I think free childcare is pushing it in what expectations people should have when coming to a zine convention. Bearing children is your choice and parents should be responsible for making arrangements for their own children, being disabled isn't a choice and is totally different.
