He was quite quiet and I offered to take him somewhere but he said he was fine and he'd just go go home and change clothes.'

quite /kwat/ adv. and quiet /kwat/ adj. I have no problem with /kwat/ because it is easy to be pronounced. However, /kwat/ is difficult since we have diphthong /a / followed by near-close near-front unrounded vowel /I/.
For most speakers of BrE, the final vowel in 'quiet' is /ə/, not /ɪ/. If your vowel in the second syllable is /ɪ/, the glide from the diphthong to the vowel is the same as that in 'crying', 'flying', 'buy it'. etc.

At least I feel that I am, I want to get things done or at least started but I seem to lack the initiative to start.
Perhaps I should make a list. What I find holding me back is lack or time, or inability to find time to get started. I think that it is the fact that I am working full time, but I read the others on my blog list that seem to get it done.
I am hoping with the spring and warmer temperatures and lengthening of daylight perhaps I will get motivated.
1) Send for Pennsylvania birth certificates. I think that I have about 20 I would like to have.
2) Send for Church information from the DIOCESE OF PITTSBURGH
3) Talk to the genealogist at CALVARY CEMETERY to see if they have any information that I need. The genealogist is only there on Thursday.
4) Join a few historical societies that may be of help to me. Including one in Baltimore, Mifflin Township, and Lebanon County, PA.
5) Make a trip to Harrisburg PA to search the archives and see if I can find information on Michael Coleman. Who is an ancestor of my husband and daughter.
6) Search for information on Jacob Bauser/Bowser and his daughter Olive Bauser Stephens.
7) Decide the best approach and where to send for information for record in Ireland and Germany.
I think I should not make the list too long or I will become overwhelmed.

Significant Points
* Sales and administrative support jobs account for 83 percent of employment in the industry.
* Most jobs do not require formal education; many people get their first jobs in this industry.
* Clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores offer many part-time jobs, but earnings are relatively low.
* Despite relatively slow employment growth, turnover will produce numerous job openings in this large industry.
Nature of the Work
Clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores are some of the most visited establishments in the country. Whether shopping for an item of clothing, a piece of jewelry, a household appliance, or even food, you will likely go to one of these stores to make your purchase or compare selections with other retail outlets. Composed of department stores (including discount department stores), supercenters, and warehouse club stores, general merchandise stores in particular sell a large assortment of items. Also included among general merchandise stores are dollar stores that sell a wide variety of inexpensive merchandise.
Department stores sell an extensive selection of merchandise, with no one line predominating. As the name suggests, these stores generally are arranged into departments, each headed by a manager. The various departments can sell apparel, furniture, appliances, home furnishings, cosmetics, jewelry, paint and hardware, electronics, and sporting goods. They also may sell services such as optical, photography, and pharmacy services. Discount department stores typically have fewer sales workers, relying more on self-service features, and have centrally located cashiers. Department stores that sell bulk items, like major appliances, usually provide delivery and installation services. Upscale department stores may offer tailoring for their clothing lines and more personal service.
Warehouse club stores and supercenters, the fastest growing segment of this industry, sell an even more eclectic mix of products and services, in fixed quantities and at low prices. These stores typically include an assortment of food items, often sold in bulk, along with an array of household and automotive goods, clothing, and services that may vary over time. Often, such stores require that shoppers purchase a membership that entitles them to shop there. They offer very little service and usually require the customer to take home the item.
Compared with department stores, clothing and accessory stores sell a much narrower group of items that include apparel for all members of the family, as well as shoes, luggage, leather goods, lingerie, jewelry, uniforms, and bridal gowns. Stores in this sector may sell a relatively broad range of these items or concentrate on a few. They often are staffed with knowledgeable salespersons who can help in the selection of sizes, styles, and accessories. Many of these stores are located in shopping malls across the country and have significantly fewer workers than department stores.
Working Conditions
Most employees in clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores work under clean, well-lighted conditions. Many jobs are part time, with the most employees working during peak selling times, including nights, weekends, and holidays. Because weekends are busy days in retailing, almost all employees work at least one of these days and have a weekday off. During busy periods, such as holidays and the back-to-school season, longer than normal hours may be scheduled, and vacation time is limited for most workers, including buyers and managers.
Retail salespersons and cashiers often stand for long periods, and stock clerks may perform strenuous tasks, such as moving heavy, cumbersome boxes. Sales representatives and buyers often travel to visit clients and may be away from home for several days or weeks at a time. Those who work for large manufacturers and retailers may travel outside of the country.
The incidence of work-related illnesses and injuries varies greatly among segments of the industry. In 2003, workers in clothing and accessory stores had 2.8 cases of injury and illness per 100 full-time workers, while those in general merchandise stores had 7.2 cases per 100 full-time workers. These figures compare with an average of 5.0 throughout private industry.
Clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores—one of the largest employers in the Nation—had about 4.2 million wage and salary jobs in 2004. Department stores accounted for most jobs in the industry, but only about 7 percent of establishments. In 2004, about 7 of 10 workers were employed in clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores having more than 50 workers (Chart 1). In contrast to many industries, this industry employs workers in all sections of the country, from the largest cities to the smallest towns.
Many of the industry's workers are young—31 percent were under 24 years old in 2004, compared with 14 percent for all industries. About 29 percent of the workers were employed part time.
There are no formal educational requirements for most sales and administrative support jobs; in fact, many people get their first jobs in this industry. A high school education is preferred, especially by larger employers. Because many of the new workers in the industry are recent immigrants, employers may require proficiency in English and may even offer language training to employees.
Salespersons should enjoy working with people. Among other desirable characteristics are a pleasant personality, a neat appearance, and the ability to communicate clearly. Because of the trend toward providing more service, it is becoming increasingly important for salespersons to be knowledgeable about the products and merchandise that are available. Some employers may conduct a background check of applicants, especially of those seeking work selling high-priced items.
In most small stores, an experienced employee or the manager instructs newly hired sales personnel on making out sales checks and operating the cash register. In larger stores, training programs are more formal and usually are conducted over several days. Some stores provide periodic training seminars to refresh and improve the customer service and selling skills of their sales workers. Initially, trainees are taught how to make cash, check, and charge sales; eventually, they are instructed on how to deal with returns and special orders. Other topics usually covered are customer service, security, and store policies and procedures. Depending on the type of product they are selling, sales workers may be given specialized training in their area. For example, those working in cosmetic sales receive instruction on the types of products that are available and the types of customers to whom those products would be most beneficial.
Some salespersons are hired for a particular department, whereas others are placed after they have completed training. Placement usually is based on where positions are available. Some salespersons, often called "floaters," are not assigned to a particular department; instead, they work where they are needed.
Advancement opportunities for salespersons vary. As those who work full time gain experience and seniority, they usually move to positions of greater responsibility or to positions with potentially higher commissions. Salespersons who are paid on a commission basis—that is, they earn a percentage of the value of what they sell—may advance to selling more expensive items. The most experienced and highest paid salespersons sell big-ticket items. This work requires the most knowledge of the product and the greatest talent for persuasion. In some establishments, advancement opportunities are limited because one person, often the owner, is the only manager, but sales experience may be useful in finding a higher level job elsewhere. Retail selling experience is an asset when one is applying for sales positions with larger retailers or in other kinds of sales, such as sales of motor vehicles, financial services, or wholesale merchandise.
Traditionally, capable salespersons with good leadership skills, yet without a college degree, could advance to management positions; however, a college education is becoming increasingly important for managerial positions such as department manager, store manager, or buyer. Computer skills are extremely important in all parts of the industry, especially in areas such as inventory control, human resources, sales forecasting, and electronic commerce. Many retailers prefer to hire persons with associate's or bachelor's degrees in marketing, merchandising, or business as management trainees or assistant managers. As of 2004, more than 150 colleges and universities offered educational programs in retail management, retail merchandising, retail marketing, retail sales, and fashion and apparel merchandising.
The National Retail Federation offers the National Professional Certification in Customer Service for customer service and sales-related occupations. Certification is voluntary and is earned by passing an exam and applying for certification.
Job Outlook
Numerous job openings will result from turnover in this large industry. Jobs will be available for young workers, first-time jobseekers, persons with limited job experience, senior citizens, and people seeking part-time work, such as those with young children or those who wish to supplement their income from other jobs. Persons with a college degree or computer skills will be sought for managerial positions.
Overall, the number of wage and salary jobs in clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores is expected to increase 10 percent over the 2004–14 period, compared with the 14 percent increase projected for all industries combined. The relatively slow growth is due mainly to limited job growth in clothing and accessory stores, as discount department stores and supercenters account for a greater share of apparel sales. Also limiting employment growth is the popularity of supercenters and warehouse stores that stress self-service and are, consequently, less labor intensive than traditional retailers. Employment in full-service department stores will grow the slowest, as more people buy from discounters.
Alternative retail outlets such as mail-order companies, home shopping, and the Internet will continue to take customers away from traditional retail stores, thereby limiting job growth. However, the negative effects on employment resulting from this trend will be minimized as traditional retailers increase their presence in these outlets. In addition, although online sales are expected to grow rapidly, sales at traditional retail stores are projected to continue to account for a major portion of total retail sales. Also, although electronic commerce is expected to limit the growth of some retail jobs, it is increasing opportunities for other occupations, such as Internet sales managers, webmasters, technical support workers, and other related workers.
Some companies are moving toward obtaining goods directly from the manufacturer, bypassing the wholesale level completely and thereby reducing costs and increasing profits. This trend may further limit job growth in the industry, particularly among administrative and managerial workers. In addition, many of these stores, particularly clothing and accessory stores, are highly sensitive to changes in the economy and to changing tastes of consumers. Guessing wrong on upcoming trends, especially several years in a row, or being unable to weather a recession can cause even large, well-established stores to go bankrupt or out of business. As a result, changes in employment can be volatile and may include periods of rapid increases and decreases in the number of jobs.
Job growth also will be limited as retailers try to lower costs by contracting out some of the activities typically performed by retail workers. For example, retailers will use temporary workers to stock and order products and to perform customer service.
Worker productivity is increasing because of technological advances, particularly among clerks, managers, and buyers. For example, computerized systems allow companies to streamline purchasing and obtain customer information and preferences, reducing the need for buyers. However, because direct customer contact also will remain important, employment of sales workers who interact personally with customers will be less affected by technological advances.
Hourly earnings of nonsupervisory workers in clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores are well below the average for all workers in private industry. This reality reflects both the high proportion of part-time and less experienced workers in these stores and the fact that even experienced workers receive relatively low pay compared with experienced workers in many other industries (Table 2). Earnings in selected occupations in clothing, accessory, and general merchandise stores appear in Table 3.
Many employers permit workers to buy merchandise at a discount. Smaller stores usually offer limited employee benefits. In larger stores, benefits are more comparable with those offered by employers in other industries and can include vacation and sick leave, health and life insurance, profit sharing, and pension plans.
Unionization in this industry is limited. Only about 3 percent of workers were union members or covered by union contracts, compared with 14 percent in all industries.
Related Occupations
Sales and related occupations accounted for 65 percent of workers in this industry in 2004 (Table 1). Retail salespersons, who make up 43 percent of employment in the industry, help customers select and purchase merchandise. A salesperson's primary job is to interest customers in the merchandise and to answer any questions the customers may have. In order to do this, the worker may describe the product's various models, styles, and colors or demonstrate its use. To sell expensive and complex items, workers need extensive knowledge of the products.
In addition to selling, most Retail salespersons register the sale electronically on a cash register or terminal; receive cash, checks, and charge payments; and give change and receipts. Depending on the hours they work, they may open or close their cash registers or terminals. Either of these operations may include counting the money in the cash register; separating charge slips, coupons, and exchange vouchers; and making deposits at the cash office. Salespersons are held responsible for the contents of their register, and repeated shortages often are cause for dismissal.
Salespersons may be responsible for handling returns and exchanges of merchandise, wrapping gifts, and keeping their work areas neat. In addition, they may help stock shelves or racks, arrange for mailing or delivery of a purchase, mark price tags, take inventory, and prepare displays. They also must be familiar with the store's security practices to help prevent theft of merchandise. cashiers total bills, receive money, make change, fill out charge forms, and give receipts. Retail salespersons and cashiers often have similar duties.
Office and administrative support occupations make up the next largest group of employees, accounting for 19 percent of total employment in the industry. Stock clerks and order fillers bring merchandise to the sales floor and stock shelves and racks. They also may mark items with identifying codes or prices so that they can be recognized quickly and easily, although many items today arrive preticketed. Customer service representatives investigate and resolve customers' complaints about merchandise, service, billing, or credit ratings. The industry also employs administrative occupations found in most industries, such as general office clerks and bookkeepers.
Management and business and financial operations occupations accounted for 2 percent of industry employment. (Only managers located at the individual stores are counted in this industry. Higher level managers for national or regional chain stores with multiple locations typically are employed at the stores' headquarters and are classified in the management of companies and enterprises industry, which is not covered in the Career Guide.) Department managers oversee sales workers in a department or section of the store. They set the work schedule, supervise employee performance, and are responsible for the overall sales and profitability of their departments. They also may be called upon to settle a dispute between a customer and a salesperson.
Buyers purchase merchandise for resale from wholesalers or manufacturers. Using historical records, market analysis, and their sense of consumer demand, they buy merchandise, keeping in mind their customer's demand for style, quality, and low price. Wrong decisions mean that the store will mark down slow-selling merchandise, thus losing profits. Buyers for larger stores or chains usually buy one classification of merchandise, such as casual menswear or home furnishings; those working for smaller stores may buy all the merchandise sold in the store. They also plan and implement sales promotion plans for their merchandise, such as arranging for advertising and ensuring that the merchandise is displayed properly.
Merchandise managers are in charge of a group of buyers and department managers; they plan and supervise the purchase and marketing of merchandise in a broad area, such as women's apparel or appliances. In department store chains, with numerous stores, many of the buying and merchandising functions are centralized in one location. Some local managers might decide which merchandise, among that bought centrally, would be best for their own stores.
Department store managers direct and coordinate the activities in these stores. They may set pricing policies to maintain profitability and notify senior management of concerns or problems. Department store managers usually directly supervise department managers and indirectly oversee other department store workers.
Clothing and accessory store managers—often the only managers in smaller stores—combine many of the duties of department managers, department store managers, and buyers. Retail chain store area managers or district managers oversee the activities of clothing and accessory store managers in an area. They hire managers, ensure that company policies are carried out, and coordinate sales and promotional activities.
Various other store-level occupations in this diversified industry include pharmacists, hairdressers, material moving workers, food preparation and serving workers, and security guards.

Best vehicle I've ever owned
By GBC on Sunday, July 21, 2019I've owned my A6 for 4 weeks. This vehicle has outstanding style, performance and technology. I continue to learn more about the vehicle's technology which is not difficult to implement however with any new technology there is a learning curve. My wife and I love the style and comfort of the interior however we are most impressed with the safety features. We feel very safe and secure even when traveling some of the worst interstates in America, ex. I-4 between Tampa and Orlando. I would recommend this vehicle 100% to individuals who are looking for a safe, comfortable, stylish, technologically advanced ride with outstanding performance.

Note to those NFL players concerned about what to do if there is no 2011 season: start jotting down those lucid thoughts before the encephalopathy takes hold. It's good advice because Nate Jackson, former NFL player and writer for places of both distinction and ill repute, has just signed a book deal. And, David Hirshey, a man blessed with a face many women would pay a nickel to ride upon, is the lucky editor in charge of making sure its words will not bore you. So congratulations to both of those fine gentlemen. Oh, what will the book be about? It's a sociological essay on the stately ascent of the Composure Class and how it's wholly impacted by the science of human nature. Or wait, actually, let Nate give you the rundown:
"The NFL from a non-superstar narrative, uninterested in perpetuating the manufactured myth. Of course, there will be awesome parts that'll give readers boners, but it won't be one big erection."
So no chance of priapism!
Thanks for your continued support of Deadspin. Jack Dickey will be around later to dazzle you.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Air Force Academy defended its use of confidential informants after a cadet said he was expelled because of misconduct linked to providing information.
The academy said informants provide vital information about criminal activity, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported Tuesday.
They are instructed to deceive classmates, professors and commanders while helping the Air Force Office of Special Investigations gather information on drug use, sexual assault and other cadet misconduct, the newspaper said.
Cadet Eric Thomas, who was expelled from the academy this year, said he became an informant when he was pressured by OSI agents after he attended an off-campus party that was raided by police.
Thomas, 24, said OSI ordered him to infiltrate academy cliques by wearing recorders, setting up drug buys, tailing suspected rapists and feeding information to investigators. He said he was regularly directed by agents to break academy rules.
He said he helped get 15 convictions on drug charges and two in sexual assault cases.
Thomas said he was kicked out of the school for misconduct ordered by the OSI. He said the unit promised to vouch for him, but no one showed up for his disciplinary hearing.
In its response, the Air Force Academy questioned Thomas' reliability.
In a separate statement, OSI said the informant program is an important and time-proven investigative tool.
Thomas' lawyer, Skip Morgan, said in a letter to the academy superintendent that Thomas' treatment "goes beyond merely disappointing and borders on despicable." The superintendent has not replied.
The Air Force also has not replied to a letter sent by Republican U.S. Sen. John Thune of South Dakota in September asking officials to meet with Thomas, who is from that state.

Privatisation through the back door
We all know that times are hard and we've been told relentlessly that we must cut back. The austerity measures come as no surprise and it looks as though we must live through them whether we believe they will 'solve' the crisis or not. But there is something more disturbing going on under our very noses. The privatisation of our public services.

GOP elite see Daniels as 2012 savior
Top Republicans are increasingly convinced that President Barack Obama will be easily reelected if stronger GOP contenders do not emerge, and some are virtually begging Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels to add some excitement to the slow-starting nomination race.
It's a sign of the GOP's straits that the party is depending on the bland, wonkish Daniels for an adrenaline boost.
Story Continued Below
But interviews this week with longtime party activists and strategists made clear that many in the Republican establishment are unnerved by a field led by Mitt Romney, who could have trouble confronting Obama on health reform; Tim Pawlenty, who has yet to ignite excitement; Jon Huntsman, who may be too moderate to get the nomination; and Newt Gingrich, weighed down by personal baggage and a sense that he is a polarizing figure from the 1990s.
Despairing Republican lobbyists say their colleagues don't ask, "Who do you like?" but instead, "Who do we back?"
"It's not that they're up in arms," said a central player in the GOP money machine. "It's just that they're depressed."
And a huge swath of operatives, donors and strategists remain uncommitted, in the hope that the field is not yet set.
So instead of solidifying against the overwhelming force being amassed by Obama's reelection campaign, the GOP is indulging in an embarrassingly public — and probably futile — search for a more compelling standard-bearer.
House Speaker John Boehner, the nation's highest-ranking Republican, confessed that he did not watch the first GOP debate of the cycle because he believes there is still time for more candidates to emerge. He said last week on NBC's "Today" show: "I would expect that we haven't seen all of the candidates." He then proceeded to plug Daniels.
Veterans of President George W. Bush's White House and other lions of the party have begun to accept that Jeb Bush is going to sit out this race, because he is convinced he will have a better shot in 2016.
With Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour's decision not to run, the party's elites are holding out a desperate hope to persuade Daniels, who is publicly reluctant, in part because of his wife's concerns.
A highly unusual phone call from former first lady Laura Bush to Daniels's wife, Cheri, was a sign that GOP insiders believe the governor is still on the bubble and that the party should pull out every stop to persuade him to jump in.
Charlie Black, a longtime consultant to GOP presidential races, has been talking up Daniels around Washington and said he sees a 50-50 chance the reluctant Hoosier will run.

4 Tips For Foot Care When You Have Diabetes
The experts at the Joslin-Beth Israel Deaconess Foot Center provide superior, cutting-edge care to patients with diabetes, and can help reduce your problems and improve the long-term health of your feet.
For people with diabetes, practicing proper foot care is an important step towards successful diabetes management.
According to Joslin Clinic's Dr. Richard A. Jackson, one in four people with diabetes will develop foot complications. That means that making foot care a part of your daily diabetes regimen is essential for avoiding serious complications such as neuropathy, vascular disease, and injury. When it comes to implementing a comprehensive foot care plan, a little effort goes a long way in preventing problems.
Inspect. Check your feet two times a day, ideally in the morning and at night before you go to bed. Look for anything out of the ordinary, such as areas of redness, blisters, or cuts. If you discover a wound, treat it and cover it with a bandage immediately. Pay close attention to the wound during subsequent foot inspections to be certain it is healing properly.
Protect. Washing your feet every day with mild soap in tepid—not hot—water is your first line of defense against problems with your feet. After washing, dry your feet thoroughly and apply a lotion made for people with diabetes, or one that your doctor has approved. Moisturizing your feet will protect against the creation of fissures in the skin, which can serve as a breeding ground for infection.
Prevent. Elevated blood glucose (blood sugars) puts people with diabetes at risk for neuropathy, or nerve damage, which can cause loss of sensation in the feet, leading to other serious complications. Good control will help you prevent these complications. You can also reduce or even prevent the risk of injury to your feet by selecting comfortable footwear.
Consult. If you are very physically active or if you have other foot problems, it is important to find a doctor to examine your feet on a regular basis to avoid any complications that may arise. All other patients with diabetes must have a foot exam at least once a year, according to Dr. Jackson.

WASHINGTON -- In a historic day for gay rights, the Supreme Court Wednesday gave the nation's legally married gay couples equal federal footing with all other married Americans and also cleared the way for same-sex marriages to resume in California.
In deciding its first cases on the issue, the high court did not issue the sweeping declaration sought by gay-rights advocates that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry in any state. But in two rulings, both by slim 5-4 majorities, the justices gave same-sex marriage supporters encouragement in confronting the nationwide patchwork of laws that outlaw such unions in roughly three dozen states.
Gay-rights supporters cheered and hugged outside the court. Opponents said they mourned the rulings and vowed to keep up their fight.
In the first of the narrow rulings in its final session of the term, the court wiped away part of a federal anti-same-sex marriage law, the Defense of Marriage Act, that has kept legally married same-sex couples from receiving tax, health and pension benefits that are otherwise available to married couples.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined by the four liberal justices, said the purpose of the law was to impose a disadvantage and "a stigma upon all who enter into same-sex marriages made lawful by the unquestioned authority of the states."
President Barack Obama praised the court's ruling against the federal marriage act, labeling the law "discrimination enshrined in law." "It treated loving, committed gay and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people," Obama said in a statement. "The Supreme Court has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it."
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he was disappointed with the outcome of the federal marriage case and hoped states continue to define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. Boehner, as speaker, had stepped in as the main defender of the law before the court after the Obama administration declined to defend it.
The other case, dealing with California's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage, was resolved by an unusual lineup of justices in a technical legal fashion that said nothing about same-sex marriage. But the effect was to leave in place a trial court's declaration that California's Proposition 8 ban was unconstitutional. Gov. Jerry Brown quickly ordered that marriage licenses be issued to gay couples as soon as a federal appeals court lifts its hold on the lower court ruling. That will take least 25 days, the appeals court said.
California, where same-sex marriage was briefly legal in 2008, would be the 13th state, along with the District of Columbia, to allow same-sex couples to marry and would raise the share of the U.S. population in same-sex marriage states to 30 percent. Six states have adopted same-sex marriage in the past year, amid a rapid shift in public opinion that now shows majority support for the right to marry in most polls.
The day's rulings are clear for people who were married and live in states that allow same-sex marriage. They now are eligible for federal benefits.
The picture is more complicated for same-sex couples who traveled to another state to get married, or who have moved from a state supporting same-sex marriage since being wed.
Their eligibility depends on the benefits they are seeking. For instance, immigration law focuses on where people were married, not where they live. But eligibility for Social Security survivor benefits basically depend on where a couple is living when a spouse dies.
What the same-sex marriage decision means
There are more than 1,000 federal laws in which marital status matters, covering everything from income and inheritance taxes to health benefits and pensions. In states where gay marriage is legal, same-sex couples may actually be looking forward to filing their income taxes next April -- married, filing jointly.
BENEFITS FOR SPOUSES. It seems clear that legally married same-sex couples where one member is employed by the federal government are entitled to spousal benefits, just the same as any other married couple. For other legally married couples who don't live in states where same-sex marriage is recognized, there's some question as to whether the "state of celebration" or "state of residence" matters. Usually, the former is the standard used, meaning a marriage is valid if it's valid in the state it was celebrated. That would mean most legally married same-sex couples, regardless of where they live, are entitled to spousal benefits.
TAX LAWS. Some areas, such as tax law, may require additional rule-making before same-sex couples are treated equally. "Some operate just based on policy, without getting into a regulation or statute, so those can be modified very quickly," Tara Borelli, an attorney at Lambda Legal. "Others require rule-making."
OTHER STATUS CHANGES. Others require statutory changes. Borelli notes Social Security will probably have to be changed by Congress for same-sex couples to be treated equally.
BINATIONAL COUPLES. It does open the door for binational same-sex couples to be treated equally under the law. That means that comprehensive immigration reform probably need not include a provision specifically tailored to making sure binational partners of same-sex couples can get visas automatically, the same as opposite-sex partners.

Feb 25, 2014 | 548 Minutes
"The Perfect Score Project is the perfect book for parenting in the age of anxiety. What begins with a mother's worry about her teenage son quickly shifts to the moving story of a woman discovering the roots of her own imperfections. By year's end, you're cheering Debbie on as she and her son sit side-by-side, helping each other score higher. She has scripted the unimaginable: SAT—The Love Story."
—Bruce Feiler, New York Times columnist and bestselling author of The Secrets of Happy Families
"I loved this book. Debbie Stier's story of her year-long project answers every question about the SAT—and somehow turns this information into a lively and engaging adventure. I'm inspired to follow her advice (my poor fourteen-year-old has no idea). Parents especially will find this account packed with invaluable insights, from a funny, endearing friend who gives the inside scoop on how to deal with the nightmare."
–Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home
"This book isn't what you might think. More than just a guide to succeeding at 'the test,' it's a primer for succeeding at life. Stier deftly connects success, mindset, and habit. The Perfect Score Project is the book every parent should read before diving into SAT prep."
–Shawn Achor, New York Times bestselling author of Before Happiness and The Happiness Advantage
"What Debbie shows us in The Perfect Score is the possibility of strengthening our relationships with our children and empathizing with them in a time when anxiety often pulls us apart. I can so easily imagine using this book with my sons when it's their turn to take the SAT as a way to ground us through the process."
–Rosalind Wiseman, New York Times bestselling author of Masterminds & Wingmen and Queen Bees & Wannabees
"With The Perfect Score Project, Debbie Stier has accomplished the equivalent of moving mountains: she has made taking the SAT a fascinating, irresistible adventure. The Perfect Score Project will have teens, their parents, high school guidance counselors, SAT prep centers and colleges reconsidering everything they think they know about the SAT and the world of test prep. Debbie's entertaining, pioneering and eye-opening book is a page turner that will grab you from the beginning. And it may just inspire you to follow her lead and strive for a perfect score too."
–Emily McKhann, co-founder of The Motherhood and author of Living with the End in Mind
"Vince Lombardi, the greatest football coach of all time, famously said, 'If we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.' He could have been describing Debbie Stier's unforgettable chase for a perfect SAT score. Her tips, lessons, and no-nonsense insights are insatiably useful. Her story is genuinely moving–not just a woman's obsession with a test, but a mother's love for her son. A perfect 800 in my book!"
–William C. Taylor, cofounder of Fast Company and author of Practically Radical
"Debbie Stier is a break-the-mold person. She is far ahead of the curve in seeing the future and finding ways to articulate it. She sees how things fit together—the essence of creativity—long before others do. So it's no surprise that The Perfect Score Project is a break-the-mold book. Whereas the college application process, and in particular SAT preparation, fills parents and students with anxiety and a sense of being overwhelmed, Debbie's experiences and hard-won insights offer much needed clarity."
–Ellen Galinsky, President, Families and Work Institute, and author of Mind in the Making
"I love this book more than I can say. Debbie Stier's account will speak to anyone, like myself, who has spent their life trying to prove wrong the scores they achieved years ago, but it will especially speak to parents of boys who require special handling but for whom there is no proper instruction manual. Debbie may have started out wanting to crack the SAT code, but she's achieved so much more. This book is about motivation, and hard work, and parenting, but, above all, it's about forming the deepest bonds of family connection. So many parents will recognize themselves in Debbie's amazing story — they'll see themselves in her, and they'll see their children in her children. Sometimes a cigar is a just a cigar, and sometimes an SAT is just an SAT; but here the test Debbie took over and over and over again becomes a metaphor: she chooses to do the hardest work of her life, and it pays off in a thousand different ways."
–Laura Zigman, author of the national bestseller Animal Husbandry
"Debbie Stier's saga of descending into SAT test frenzy is jam-packed with truly sound advice for conquering test fatigue, understanding superscoring, overcoming performance anxiety and perfecting the 'fine art of bubbling.' Enjoy Debbie's cautionary tale of obsession and taking seven SATS — but don't try this at home!"
–Christine VanDeVelde, coauthor of College Admission: From Application to Acceptance, Step by Step

Elder financial abuse is "the ultimate betrayal," says Colleen Toy White, a superior court judge in Ventura County, Calif., who sees roughly 40 cases of such abuse each month. "It's shocking to see how vulnerable the elder person is."
Consumer Reports has written about scams by strangers, among them fraudulent sweepstakes phone calls and investments, and grandparent scams. Far more insidious are deceptions by neighbors, friends, employees and relatives -- the very people entrusted to care for and protect seniors.
Preventing financial exploitation by the people you know might require taking legal precautions; at the very least you'll need to have some uncomfortable conversations with friends and family.
• Hire the right professionals. Engage a CPA or certified financial planner to handle such concerns as how much money you can withdraw safely from retirement funds. Hire an estate-planning attorney with elder-law expertise to write your will and power-of-attorney documents; he or she can also craft trusts, which can limit relatives' access to your money. A professional daily money manager can help you deal with bill paying, insurance claims, phone calls to financial institutions and troubleshooting.
• Set up your documents. Consider carefully to whom you give power of attorney. Though legally that person is your fiduciary - charged with acting in your best interest - in practice he or she could do anything with your money, even without your knowledge. Don't assume the person closest to you will do the best job; you might be better off giving it to someone more detached and financially secure. Experts told Consumer Reports that for no extra cost, the power-of-attorney document can be drawn up with limits, such as assigning a relative or friend to monitor the person with power of attorney, mandating a periodic written report of financial transactions, or assigning joint powers of attorney, which requires two signatures on every check.
• Arrange your everyday accounts. Set up direct deposit of payments such as tax refunds, pension benefits and Social Security. As of March 1, 2013, all Social Security benefits must be paid electronically or on a debit card. (Go to ssa.gov/deposit for details.) Set up automated bill pay with your bank for your mortgage, utility bills and other regular expenses. Have financial institutions send statements and alerts to a trusted person who has no access to any of your accounts to check for fraud.
-- Secure your home. Make sure any caregiver you're considering undergoes a background check. Don't assume that a placement agency will do a thorough one. Insist on a national, rather than state, criminal check. To monitor in-home help, consider installing a surveillance camera if state law permits it.
-- Don't leave mail in an unsecured mailbox. Shred documents with identifying information. List and photograph all jewelry and valuables so they can be traced to pawn shops if necessary.
The most important action you can take on an older relative's behalf is to make sure he or she gets out and about. Elder abuse is correlated highly with social and physical isolation. In addition to making regular and unplanned visits yourself, arrange for outings and visits with friends, neighbors, clergy and volunteers.
-- Lay down the ground rules. Hold a family meeting to discuss who will look after the older relative physically and financially. If one relative will handle the bulk of the care, have an attorney draft a "personal-care agreement" that outlines how much he or she should receive for services.
-- Set up a limited account. If you're concerned about your relative's abilities to make financial decisions, set up a small account at a local bank for him or her. The account could, for instance, include a debit card and checks and have a spending limit of, say, $300. Arrange with the bank to investigate checks written for more.
-- Be available. Accompany your relative to meetings with financial advisers and doctors; they can help you make plans for his or her protection.

It's the stick you used to write your first crushes name in the sand with, the dog tags your uncle gave you when he got back from the Gulf War, and the ticket stubs from your first Rolling Stones concert. We all have knickknacks we've collected over time that remind us of the important events in our lives, and now, we want to see yours!
For this theme show us what makes up your personal stash of memorabilia. They might be hiding, stowed away in a shoebox at the back of your closet, or neatly displayed in chronological order on your mantel. Wherever they are, bring them out, and give us a peek at the things you've held onto that reflect the noteworthy moments from your life.
A big thanks to J. Harris Blacklist for the stellar idea for this theme.

I am not sure how this one slipped me by but Threadless announced their Threadless Loves Travel winner earlier this week and to no surprise the winner was Alex Solis and his Bird Migration entry.Â
Alex won a huge prize pack courtesy of Threadless, which included a round trip for two to Iceland and $2000 cash and much more! What's even cooler is that the band Calexico wrote a song inspired by the Bird Migration entry – titled Absent Afternoon. You can download the track for free here!
Here's what Alex said about what inspired his entry:
"A little story behind the design, I was on my way to Bulgaria for a competition, and I was stuck on the plane for 18 hours, I had an idea for a while, about migration and the process, and thought it fit perfect with the TRAVEL theme, and what better place to draw it then on the plane while traveling, I was a bit sad I was going to be away from my daughter, and that build to the design, me wishing I could take everything with me every time I travel far." -Alex Solis

Lee Dedmon, 64, retired as principal of Highland School of Technology last Thursday. I sent him a list of questions recently and he shared some insight on his height � and the heights of his career.
Lee Dedmon, 64, retired as principal of Highland School of Technology last Thursday. I sent him a list of questions recently and he shared some insight on his height � and the heights of his career.
Q. You probably are the tallest principal in the history of Gaston County Schools. Has that opened or closed doors for you? What�s the story about your passing out dollars to students who know your correct height?
A. Being the tallest principal has certainly opened doors for me, mainly because it is a conversation starter between me and students.
Passing out dollars allows me to reward their math and analytical skills. I always ask the question, �If you take � of an inch from 7 feet, what is my height?� When the student gets it right, he/she is rewarded. This interaction helps me to develop positive relationships with students.
Q. Highland Tech has built an admirable reputation in the 13 years since it opened its doors. Two or three salient features that helped lead the way?
A. Integration is the keystone of our school. Our teachers work together to support the mission and vision.
Our entire faculty and staff collaborate to develop rapport with the students, families and community. We are all invested in the success of our students in all of our classrooms � academic, Career/Technical education and electives.
We maintain high expectations for everyone at our school.
Q. You played basketball at UNC Chapel Hill. A few words about that?
A. Playing at UNC was an incredible experience. I learned a lot about great leadership from coach Dean Smith.
He taught us life lessons that extended beyond my years of playing basketball.
Q. You are very tall and you have a very deep voice. You might appear to be brusque. Yet, you have a reputation for being caring and loving. Any thoughts?
A. I believe in the power of relationships. Getting to know students and staff and allowing them to know me as a caring person helps us to build a great school culture. I believe that to be successful, I need to help others to find their own greatness.
Q. What is your greatest professional strength?
A. My greatest strength is team building. During my career, I developed my active listening skills so that I could hear the concerns of others and find solutions to make them successful.
Q. Your school has a good reputation concerning discipline. Describe your philosophy of discipline.
A. Constantly reward students for doing the right thing and have strong expectations. Students will rise to the challenge.
Q. What does the word �success� mean to you?
A. Success is getting others where they need and want to be. I support the goals of my students, faculty and colleagues.
Q. In a few words, how would you involve parents in the education of their children?
A. Students need a strong foundation. Families and schools work together to make students successful. Communication is paramount to building relationships with families.
Q. An informant (student) comes to you and reports that another student has brought drugs into the building. Any thoughts?

Last week, something incredible happened.
I got to eat a ton of cake.
But unlike most days that I eat a ton of cake, on one very special day (March 17, in fact) I got to eat cake all day with Molly Allen, who runs the website CakeFYI.com and is a contributor for Best Friends for Frosting, and with Joy the Baker, overall Big Important Foodie Person and a sweet fan of CakeSpy Shop. She had won an all expenses paid trip to Seattle after the "So You Wanna be a CakeSpy?" contest!
It was a contest to support my amazing book.
Now, I should say thanks in advance to Molly because some of the photos below are hers. Thanks!
I had solicted some suggestions for where to take Molly, but I also had a few favorites in mind--especially considering that she is a fan of red velvet cake.
I can sense that you're getting bored of all of these words and starting to wonder where the cake is, so why don't I tell you what we ate now, ok?
First, since it was St. Patrick's day, we stopped at Nielsen's Bakery in Queen Anne. This little gem is the home of the snitter, fine cinnamon rolls, and most notably, something called the Potato. As Molly put it, "A sweet potato. A pastry puff filled with custard and whip cream, then topped with marzipan and cocoa powder." NOM!
Next, we hit up Pinkabella Cupcakes in Queen Anne. This store has gone through some management changes (it used to be Wink Cupcakes) but it had been highly suggested by a Sasquatch Staffer as a great place for Red Velvet. I took a moment to ask Molly what makes a great red velvet cake:
Oh, and I should assure you: of course we brought our magical ponies.
The Pinkabella cake was highly respectable: a great cake-crumb, moist and flavorful, and a surprisingly light frosting--though I like a thicker and weightier frosting personally, the flavor was very good.
Next, I took her to Trophy Cupcakes. After all, Molly clearly needed a Neapolitan cupcake after her winning recipe, and it's overall a magical place to visit. So we got a few flavors, including the Neapolitan and a "green velvet", the St. Patrick's day version of Red Velvet.
I should also tell you, we brought our ponies here.
As usual, Trophy was delicious. If you've never been there, I have a question: what's wrong with you?
They were super-sweet at Trophy, and knowing that Molly and I would be hanging out with Joy the Baker soon, they sent us on our way with a cupcake for her, too! AND some to share with the guests. Thanks, Trophy!
Next, we went over to Ballard and picked up some gelato at D'ambrosio. This time, I tried the caramel-fig and the nougat. It did not disappoint--this place is awesome.
Next, we made a quick drive-by at Bakery Nouveau, where the floors are paved in butter and the walls are made of sugar. Not really, but I hope that gave you the idea that this palace of pastry is stuffed with delicious. We got a few sweets including a croissant, and cheated a bit and got some savories too. But we had to get going quick, because it was time for...Joy The Baker!
Joy was passing through town on book tour and stopped at CakeSpy Shop. It was packed--naturally! Here we are together, looking cute. Hey, how'd they get so tall?OK. So after hanging out at the signing for a while, we headed up to our final destination for the day of the pastry: Cupcake Royale. Also made of magic, we picked up a Tiramisu, Red Velvet, and Lemon Pistachio. Yum.
And, you might be wondering: how awesome are we? About this awesome:
At this point, we declared "oink oink" and gave up for the day - but oh, what a MAGICAL day it was.
So, as you may have noticed, Molly tasted a lot of Red Velvet on this glorious, sugar-filled day. At the end of the day, she said that she had a favorite. Can you guess what it was, based on the pictures above? Here's a quick roundup of tasting notes:
Red Velvet Tasting
- Pinkabella: A standout cake, a lighter than expected but very good frosting.
- Trophy: A delicate cocoa flavor, lovely frosting, cute decorations.
- Cupcake Royale: A firmer and less moist cake style, decadent and denser frosting.
If you've been to these shops, which is your favorite? I'll do another post to let you know which one she chose in the next day or two!

If you're a particularly desperate individual, taking large amounts of Robitussin can make you higher than a kite, more tired than you've ever been, and unable to walk a straight line. Hallucination is rare, but visual impairment is common. Don't drive or operate machinery.

Murdered Alaska troopers remembered in memorial
FAIRBANKS, Alaska – Law enforcement officers from as far away as Florida on Saturday mourned the loss of two Alaska state troopers killed earlier this month in a remote village while trying to make an arrest.
A memorial for Sgt. Scott Johnson and Trooper Gabe Rich began with a procession and a drum cadence at the Carlson Center in Fairbanks.
Col. James Cockrell, head of the Alaska State Troopers, said Johnson and Rich touched many lives during their careers, and their deaths will strengthen the bonds between officers.
"This is a time to begin the healing process and come together as a community to provide strength to those who are still feeling the pain of their loss," Cockrell said. "For in times like this, true Alaskans stand together." The Anchorage Daily News said some 4,000 people attended the memorial.
A Fairbanks grand jury on Thursday indicted Nathanial "Satch" Kangas, 20, on two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths May 1 of Johnson and Rich. The two were assigned to rural law enforcement in 23 remote communities and were occasionally featured on the National Geographic Channel show "Alaska State Troopers," which shows officers patrolling the state's wild terrain.
Johnson and Rich had flown to Tanana, 130 miles west of Fairbanks, to arrest Kangas' father, Arvin. A village public safety officer had reported that Arvin Kangas had driven without a license and pointed a rifle at him.
Johnson and Rich contacted Arvin Kangas, and as he tried to go into his home, they struggled. Nathanial Kangas emerged with an assault rifle and fired seven shots into the backs of the troopers, according to investigators.
Nathanial Kangas was taken into custody by the village officer. But other troopers, including a Special Emergency Response Team, poured in to the village to arrest Arvin Kangas. He was indicted Thursday on charges of evidence tampering and hindering prosecution. This week, Arvin Kangas and another man were banished from the community.
Johnson was a veteran trooper who joined the force in 1993. He spent his career in Fairbanks and worked a variety of roles, including patrol trooper, field training officer and canine officer, instructor and canine unit supervisor. He also had worked as a supervisor of a Fairbanks-area narcotics team. Survivors include his wife and three daughters.
"An amazing dad raised me," said Hayly Johnson, according to report in the Daily News. "He left a lasting impression on everyone that you talk to."
She said she will always honor him and the troopers; they are part of her family.
"We have to make the best of every day even if they don't come home," Hayly said.
He was also remembered as a mentor who loved to hunt and fish.
"Scott was quick to open his home and his arms to greet a friend and put him up," said Keith Mallard, a friend.
Rich was born in Sayre, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Fairbanks. He first worked as a patrolman with the North Pole Police Department southeast of Fairbanks before deciding to join the troopers in 2011. With the troopers, he spent most of his career on patrol. Survivors include his fiancee, their 1-year-old son and his fiancee's 8-year-old son. At the time of his death, Rich was in the process of adopting the older boy, troopers said.
"Gabe was one of those people that you just absolutely loved to see when he came into work," said his supervisor, Sgt. Mike Roberts. "You could walk into the squad room and you'd be better because you'd see him with his mischievous smile on his face."
The Daily News report said Dave Rich, father of Gabe, thanked the community and all law enforcement personnel who risk their lives. He said the way the troopers and others have supported his family in the last week has been overwhelming.
"They are genuine, they are honest, they are caring right down to the last person," said Rich. "And that made me realize why Gabe was so proud to be an Alaska State Trooper."

The Star Guard Mission (星護衛任務, Hoshi Goei Ninmu) is an anime-exclusive arc, spanning from episodes 178 to 183 of the Naruto anime. This arc is preceded by the Buried Gold Excavation Mission and is followed by the Akamaru Monitoring Mission, Funeral Proxy Mission and the Peddlers Escort Mission.
While having a snack with Sakura, Naruto learns that Neji, Lee, and Tenten were sent on a mission to aid Hoshigakure protect their precious chakra-emitting star (which was actually a meteorite) from thieves. Suspecting that Orochimaru might be behind these attempted thefts, Naruto convinced Tsunade to add him to the team. After Naruto and the team arrived at the base of the Hoshigakure, they met a young Hoshi genin named Sumaru who escorted them safely around the deadly gases surrounding the village. They were then introduced to the acting leader, or "Hoshikage" of the village Akahoshi who explained the situation. It was revealed that the special star enhances the chakra of whoever trains under it long enough and enables them to manipulate their raw chakra in very unique ways, forming a ninjutsu known as the Mysterious Peacock Method. Later, the star was stolen by a masked ninja who possessed the same star-enhanced techniques as the Hoshigakure, only more powerful and refined.
While Naruto began making friends with several of the Hoshi genin, he learned that Sumaru lost his parents when he was young and dreams of becoming Kage of his village. Later after Sumaru was kidnapped by Akahoshi (disguised as the masked ninja), it was discovered that the real reason why the star was so coveted by other villages was because of the dangers to using it as very few in history have survived the star-training. The forced releasing and enhancement of chakra generally proves too unnatural for most people to adapt to, causing the body to give out and die before it can properly synchronise with the chakra. And even if a person does complete the training, there is still a chance the person will eventually be killed by the enhanced chakra. Although the Third Hoshikage who died recently, stopped the training, Akahoshi resumed it soon afterwards, which the Hoshi ninja have been willing go through for the village's prosperity.
Later, Naruto found himself up against the masked ninja again when Akahoshi attacked with the intent of killing the masked ninja, and knocked Naruto and the masked ninja into the poisonous cavern. Fortunately, the masked ninja saved them both. Naruto then discovered that the masked ninja was actually a Hoshi jōnin named Natsuhi, who was Sumaru's mother and one of the few people to ever successfully complete the star training. She explained that ten years ago, despite Natsuhi and her husband, who sometime later died, convinced the Third Hoshikage to stop the star training in exchange for faking their death and watching over the village from afar. After hearing how dangerous the star really was, Naruto was determined to help Natsuhi stop Akahoshi, who was deliberately using the Hoshigakure for his own selfish goals. Upon facing off with Akahoshi, he revealed to have killed the Third Hoshikage so he could take over the village and resume the star training and willing to sacrifice anyone as long as the village got the glory he desired. After Sumaru appeared, Akahoshi used him as a hostage to force Natsuhi to give him the star.
Despite Naruto's anger at Akahoshi, Neji reminded Naruto that technically, Akahoshi is not a villain to the Hoshigakure as they all wish to make their village strong as well and as such, the Konoha ninja cannot do anything against the village leader without repercussions. Later, Natsuhi attempted to retrieve the star again despite her failing health, but was killed by Akahoshi. It wasn't until one of the Hoshi genin showed the villagers the damage the star training did to his body and the truth of the Third Hoshikage's death were revealed that the villagers finally turned against Akahoshi. Deciding to regain control by any means, Akahoshi embedded the star into his being to gain a tremendous power increase. With the help of a final techinque left behind from Natsuhi, Naruto was able to defeat Akahoshi and destroy the star using the Rasengan. Later, the infected Hoshi ninja were taken to Konoha for treatment from Tsunade and are cured. Naruto is glad to see that despite losing the star, the Hoshigakure still is determined to become recognised as the next Great Shinobi Village.

Among the thousands expected to attend the annual Jacksonville Holiday Parade Saturday are members of Jacksonville Police Department entrusted with the security of festival attendees and participants.
Among the thousands expected to attend the annual Jacksonville Holiday Parade Saturday are members of Jacksonville Police Department entrusted with the security of festival attendees and participants.
�We want to ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time,� Chief Mike Yaniero, director of Public Safety said.
JPD safety tips for parade spectators include:
- Arrive early and allow plenty of time to leave the area once the parade is over.
- Drive slowly and carefully near the parade route due to heavy pedestrian traffic.
- Find alternative routes to and from destinations within the parade route, which is between Coastal Carolina Community College and Village Drive near Brynn Marr Shopping Center. Vehicle congestion will be heavy as Western Boulevard will be closed between 9 a.m. and noon.
- Determine a �meet up� spot in case members of your group become separated.
- Stay off the road throughout the parade.
- Keep children close by. The noise and excitement of the parade could lead children to wander off and lose track of where they are.
- Encourage children to approach the nearest officer if they become separated from their group and aren�t sure where they are.
- Keep pets at home as the noise and excitement surrounding the event may upset them.
Security concerns are not only on the side of spectators, but on the parade�s participants. The JPD wants vehicle operators in the parade to keep their distance from each other and pay close attention, especially for pedestrians. Vehicles, trailers and floats in the parade are required to have a guide, or spotter, to help them drive safely. Throwing anything from vehicles is prohibited, as is soliciting without a permit. JPD vehicles will bring up the rear of the parade to prepare Western Boulevard for business as usual.
�The very slow and methodical ride of JPD vehicles at the end of the parade is designed to allow for the slow and safe reopening of the roadway and to allow spectators to safely move from the edge of roadways and return to their vehicles and residences,� said Lt. Sean Magill, Jacksonville Police Department�s traffic division supervisor.

Bill McKibben: "The Biggest Fight of Our Time"
As one of the best-known writers on the world's most dire environmental problem, climate change, Bill McKibben has long walked the razor's edge between hope and fear. In 2010, he published Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet, a sobering account of what climate change has already unleashed—the ways in which the places we live, the water, weather, seasons, ecosystems, and oceans are changing irrevocably. McKibben also founded 350.org, one of history's largest and most ambitious political movements, uniting people around the world to fight climate change.
In this interview, YES! got personal with McKibben: Where does he find hope? What role does faith play for McKibben, a longtime Methodist Sunday school teacher? How does small-town Vermont, where the writer now lives, shape his ideas and activism? And what's the best advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the enormity of what McKibben calls "the biggest fight of our time"—the fight to save the planet?
Editor's Note: This interview was filmed June 1, 2011 as part of YES! Magazine's 15th Anniversary Celebration. For the latest in the Keystone XL Pipeline fight, click here.
