The concept of financial inclusion has been around for a while, and digital approaches to furthering financial inclusion has received a lot of attention because it is a potentially relatively low cost way to bring a basket of financial services to the doorstep of those who have been ill-served by the formal financial sector. Dan Radcliffe and Rodger Voorhies at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation recently published a paper titled A Digital Pathway to Financial Inclusion that does a nice job of capturing some of discussion and evidence surrounding digital approaches to financial inclusion.
In their own words:
We depict what digital financial inclusion would look like and present a growing body of evidence which suggests that connecting poor people to a digital financial system will generate sizable welfare benefits. We argue that countries will not bridge the cash-digital divide in one giant leap. Instead, they will likely pass through four stages of market development along the pathway to an inclusive digital economy.
This image is from page 9 of the paper that captures the central thesis:
You hear about all these digital-based interventions, from cell phones to mobile money to digital deposits of government-to-person (G2P) payments and sometimes it's overwhelming to try to categories which does what and how it matters in the grand scheme of things. I think this 4-stage schema does a pretty good job at providing one framework for all that.

Trout received the AL's Oscar Charleston Award, recognizing the league's most valuable player, as well as the Larry Doby Award for top rookie and the James "Cool Papa" Bell Award for his stolen-base title. BBWAA AL MVP Miguel Cabrera didn't go unnoticed, however, as the Tigers slugger picked up the AL's Josh Gibson and Walter "Buck" Leonard Awards in recognition of his home run and batting titles, respectively.
The Legacy Awards will be presented on Saturday night, Jan. 12, at the Gem Theater, just across the street from the museum near 18th and Vine in Kansas City.
There'll be a show-biz aspect to this year's program. Charley Pride, who was a Negro Leagues pitcher before he became a famed country singer, will receive the Jackie Robinson Award for lifetime achievement. Pride played for the Memphis Red Sox in 1953 and went on to record such hits as "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'" and "Kaw-Liga."
Buck O'Neil Awards for outstanding support of the museum will go to Sports on Earth writer and former Kansas City Star columnist Joe Posnanski, and to James B. Nutter & Co., a Kansas City mortgage lender and longtime supporter of baseball in the area.
MLB Network analyst Harold Reynolds will receive the Sam Lacy Award for baseball journalist of the year.
Legacy Awards to baseball personnel in the American and National Leagues, respectively, will be presented as follows:

A few days ago I looked down at my Blackberry and threw my hands up in the air. I had just about had enough! Flinging my phone to the ground, I declared: "Facebook must die!!!"
Okay, fine, so it was slightly less dramatic than that. What really happened was that over the past few weeks, I had been frequenting my personal Facebook account less and less. I just didn't have anything much to say. I found myself browsing my newsfeed purely out of thoughtless habit.
Sometimes I did come up with things to share with the world: "The TTC should burn to the ground." "It is freezing like a biznatch out here." "Watching Alias makes me want to drink red wine."
But after instinctively reaching for my Crackberry and hitting the Facebook app to spread these profound thoughts far and wide, I paused and asked myself: "Does anyone really care?"
Yesterday, I had been chatting with my cousin about potentially disabling my Facebook account for an indefinite period of time. An hour later, I came across a Freshly Pressed post, Are you Being Squeezed by Social Media?, that asked the readers what justified us staying on Facebook and what would it take for us to leave?
Then today, I was scrolling through my WordPress Reader and came across Mooselicker's post. It really didn't matter what it was about (I don't mean it like that, Tim) — all I saw were the words "Soul Sellers" and "Facebook" together and my mouth dropped open. My God, it was a sign.
What did justify me staying on Facebook? What the heck did I do on there anyway? I decided to take a browse around my page to determine this answer.
I found that I used Facebook to broadcast urgent requests:
I used Facebook to update my friends on what had become of me …
… and about my vacations and crazy new adventures.
My Facebook page was the home of many a football game commentary, where friends would take the opportunity to diplomatically discuss their thoughts on my favourite team.
But Facebook was also where friends would send me links to interesting videos and news articles:
And where I could easily connect with family who lived in different countries:
So at the end of my search, I was nowhere closer to figuring out the answers to my burning questions:
Would shutting down my account actually lead to more meaningful communication between my friends and I?
Or would I simply lose connections with people I did care about, but who choose to mainly communicate through FB?
Are emailing and texting actually more meaningful ways of communicating? Do we give FB a lot more flack than it deserves?
Would I be more productive with the time I was using to mindlessly browse my newsfeed? Or would I at the very least feel less like a FB automaton?
I'm curious to find out. But I'm not completely convinced just yet. Thoughts, people?

Los Angeles, California–At 4:30 am on December 27, 2012, over 200 members of "Law Enforcement", including some 50 LA county sheriffs deputies, and more than 150 LAPD officers descended on 14620 Leadwell St. in Van Nuys. They brought with them the implied violence of firearms, armored vehicles, tear gas and full riot gear, all to throw one family out into the street and end the longest post-eviction foreclosure defense in California history.
That morning, on Sherman Way and Van Nuys Blvd., one block away from the Hernandez home, a homeless woman was set on fire at the bus bench that had been her spot for years. Even though 200 sworn officers were just down the block, a civilian had to chase down the attacker, and hold him for 30 minutes till the police arrived because the police were too busy with their eviction plan to make more people homeless.
Even though we had known this moment was coming for the last 124 days, as the 30 of us were led into the chill of the early morning air at gunpoint past the seemingly endless lines of nervous cops equipped with shotguns and bulletproof vests, I could not help but be surprised at the extreme response to what had been an entirely peaceful protest. I shouldn't have been. Having been involved in many police incited confrontations on the streets of downtown LA, I should have been well aware that the first response of the reactionary monied class to any attempt by the people to enforce their basic human rights is to criminalize us, using the very agencies we pay for to deny us our rights. But still, the response was, in a word, overkill.
Despite the direct and obvious evidence of fraud on the part of Countrywide and BOA presented by the Hernandez family, both directly to the police and in court, our elected officials spent nearly half a million dollars in public money to harass, patrol, surveill and criminalize an innocent family, simply to evict them from a house with a market value of barely $260,000. I remember thinking, how, in a country where vacant homes outnumber homeless people 5 to 1, in a city where hundreds of thousands of people sleep on the streets every night, is this ridiculous waste of public funds even slightly justifiable?
The pigs finally shuffled us out from behind the police lines and into the parking lot of the Lucky's supermarket, which had recently closed down because of all the displacement in the area. Guadalupe Hernandez, who we had come to call Mama Lupe, stood on the sidewalk across Wynedote St. wrapped in a purple blanket, looking distraught, and shivering in the cold. Ulisses stood next to his mother, eyes fixed on the ground, the heat of his anger palpable in the early morning air, while Antonio and a few supporters mocked the police's ridiculous show of force on live stream. But it was the look on Javier Hernandez's face, that mixture of sorrow, guilt, and shock, as he took in the scene of his mother, brothers, and the rest of his newly adopted family, huddled with whatever meager possessions they had managed to save, that still haunts me to this day.
A gray Mustang followed by two U-Haul trucks pulled onto Wynedote and was stopped at the police line, until the driver announced that he was from the bank, and the jeering from our people began, at which point the police surrounded the car as if President Obama himself was inside. This served only to reinvigorate our makeshift clan of family members, houseless activists, and organizers, and shake us out of our dejection.
The rest of the morning was a blur of activity as our team sprang into action, testing the police lines, herding the media, and destroying the police's credibility in front of the neighbors, our people were in rare form, and I was never more proud of them than in those immediate post eviction hours.
A little past 10am, after the U-haul trucks pulled away illegally carrying out the Hernandez families memories and possessions from their home of 7 years the sheriffs returned to their armored vehicles, patting themselves on the back for following orders, and we hoped they might hate themselves a little. The LAPD slinked wearily back to their patrol cars after a rough morning of oppressing the people behind them, and the neighbors finally poked their heads out of the houses only to be told to "get the fuck inside" by the pigs. Antonio and Javi led us back down Leadwell st, to the place that had, until that morning, been everyone's home.
I walked a few steps behind Mama Lupe. The wooden barricade painted with the large letters "Government of for and by the people" had been replaced by a 12 foot chain link fence- how fitting. The banners reading "housing is a human right" and "Bank stolen property" were gone, replaced by a 2×2 foot sign, "For Sale, Ben Soifer Realty". Mama Lupe sighed deeply to herself "Mi casa", then looked around at her children, the ones she had given birth to, and those of us she had taken in over the last 4 months, we were dejected, depressed, powerless. Swallowing her own pain, Lupe did what needed to be done, what only a mother could do. She grabbed a lone metal lawn chair, left behind on the curb by the real estate company that had just stolen all of her earthly possessions, pulled it up in front of the fence, sat down, threw her fist high in the air, and proclaimed "La Fuerza Sigue!", the strength continues.
Those words, spoken in the kind and powerful tones of her voice sparked something in those of us who couldn't speak, nor think, nor do anything in that moment but silently stare at the ground and one another with confusion and sadness. It was as if the sun finally burst through the clouds after a rainstorm. A reminder of why we had come to Leadwell st in the first place, to empower the people. She continued, translating through Javier, " Thank you all for all of your hard work. I love you all. Our fight isn't over, it has just begun. Anyone else that needs help, we will be there to fight with them." It was at this moment that the tears I had been repressing all morning finally pushed their way past my anger.
See, that's what made #FuerzaHernandez, and the Hernandez family, so special. Not only was the one story house with the 9 foot painted barricade around it there to protect the Hernandez families human right to housing, and many houseless organizers and activists, it had become the unofficial heart of the local community. A place where children's parties and know your rights classes were held, where tenants could go to learn how to fight their evictions, or neighbors could stop to have a friendly conversation. For 4 months, Van Nuys finally had a real community center. The Hernandez resistance served to inspire housing victims across the country, and presented a strong example of people coming together to fight an unjust system to the world. The Lucero family, of east LA, had also built a barricade to protect against their eviction, and as of this writing they are still standing strong 91 days after their November 4, 2012 eviction date. La fuerza sigue indeed.
But, not a day goes by that I don't think of the look on Javi's face on that cold December morning, looking at all of us with such sadness and guilt, as if he had failed us, when, the way I see it, it was the other way around. If the #FuerzaHernandez action was any kind of victory, it was a Pyrrhic one. When Lupe left that morning, her and her family were forced to cram 12 people into a small apartment down the street from their stolen home. When they tried to pick up their belongings, a representative from Soifer's office tried to get Javi to sign off on the contents of the storage space without being able to examine them, everything the family owned still being held ransom.
A month and a half later, Lupe still can't find work, and may be forced to move back to Mexico with Adrian, her youngest son. The breakup of the family we fought so hard to prevent, may well still happen anyway, while Ben Soifer, the board of BOA, and all the other money grubbing scumbags involved in the their fraudulent eviction are safe in their homes with their families. Homes purchased by perpetrating the suffering of others while 150 million of us struggle to breathe under the crushing weight of poverty, and the police spread terror in the name of those who exploit and oppress us.
The Hernandez family will survive, and thrive, have no doubt. Their family and community solidarity has never been stronger. Their courage and self determination in the face of a corrupt vampiristic system serves as an inspiration to us all. BOA had to send it's minions to destroy #FuerzaHernandez, it's very existence exposed the illegitimacy of the US financial system, simply by telling millions of other people in the same situation that they were not alone, and they could fight back. Now imagine if everyone facing forced eviction did the same. What would happen? We would win.
So what is holding us back? Fear? Everything that has happened to the Hernandez family post-eviction, would have happened whether they had resisted or not. A lack of leadership? It is time to stop waiting on someone to lead us out of the darkness, and turn on the lights ourselves. You are the next great leader in your community. You are the next Malcolm X, the next Ella Baker, the next Fred Hampton, the next Guadalupe Hernandez. If you or your neighbor are facing eviction, do not panic, do not move, organize. The power is yours sisters and brothers, all you have to do is seize it.
Take back your land! Take back your homes!
Amandala Ngawethu! Power to the Poor People! And peace to you all, if you are willing to fight for it.

Hello, friends.
I'm late to the party! I know, I know, it's terrible of me. (Was I supposed to knock and wait to be let in? I thought since we were cool I could just knock and open the door…) Look, I brought a case of beer and that CD you lent me a few weeks ago to make up for it. I couldn't help but be late! I was away, I had shit to do, and I got really preoccupied with some movies. But I brought some gifts and I also brought something else: initial reports from the molten trenches of the Firelands. I know! How kind of me!
Patch 4.2 dropped a few weeks ago and in the ensuing weeks there have been a few guides here and there describing either the decor of the raid instance or the boss encounters. Until the dust settles in my little raid group and we get some things worked out I won't feel right talking about specific boss strategies for different classes and specs, but I can share with you guys what I've taken from the patch and the instance in general. Nothing focused, just rambling thoughts.
4.2, class balance (or lack thereof! *rimshot*) aside, brought a few goodies to the table to share with all of us. To your left there's a roast quail, glistening with the new PVP Season 10 sauce; to the right there's the mashed potatoes and stuffing, served with dripping Molten Front dailies; and directly ahead there's the hickory-smoked Firelands boar, mouth agape and stuffed with an apple, belly bursting with purple-texted goodies, each piece you can snatch full of odd boss gimmicks and tank swaps literally falling off the bone! I don't know about you guys but I haven't eaten all day (I've been saving myself for this meal!) and I'm starving. So, yeah, say grace and all that, but do it faster, c'mon too slow, oh come on THANKS DEITY WE APPRECIATE IT NOW MY STOMACH WANTS TO BE WORSHIPPED TOO.
Dig in!!
As an occasional PVPer I feel I should get my impressions of this out of the way before I offend too many people with my terribleness. Like many have said before me, the change from Season 9 to 10 was anything but graceful. Season 10 waited too long after Season 9 left before jumping on stage, and even when it did the landing didn't quite stick – yes, a broken leg isn't a pretty thing to look at, but at least it was apologetic and back on its feet like nothing happened. After the fiasco with the odd ilvls the Honor gear had I was surprised at just how much Blizzard wanted to make the mistake right again.
Now, I was in no way surprised when they apologized and said over and over again how it was their fault, their bad, so sorry guys but shit happens. What caught me off guard was their claim to refund people who paid for the lower ilvl loot for not just what they paid: but with 4k Honor. For those PVEers who don't know a lick about PVP: that is a whole lotta Honor, guys. How they're exactly going to decide on who gets the hefty sum is still up in the air, but the gist of it seems to be that if you bought Honor gear from the vendors before 4.2 dropped (and after Season 9 ended) you should get 4,000 Honor. We'll see how strict they get with the offering, but as for now I'm looking forward to my hunter rolling in the grist when the Honor bank floods the streets with riches.
Oh man, dailies. I both love and hate dailies as a system for leveling up any aspect of my character. They're mostly fun if I don't set myself to doing them, y'know, daily, but therein lies the crux: when they're new and there's tangible rewards (I WANT THAT DAMN BIRDIE MOUNT) I kind of feel bad when I slack on them. Not this time, though: I'm saving myself from the hell the Argent Tournament put me through and just doing them when I feel like it as opposed to doing them per day.
(Sidenote: I did the Argent Tournament dailies every day when they came out and got Crusader just when others did. I spent all my tokens on tabards and pets. Then Cata shat on me and made the tabards cost silver instead of a fair amount of tokens. Not really upset at that, just thinking that I could have staved off my addiction to tabards for a few more months and I'd be riding around on a sweet birdie mount. Oh well!)
As for the dailies themselves, I'm finding them quite fun. "The Protectors of Hyjal" is quickly becoming a staple of my day and something I legit look forward to. I love the randomness associated with the quest and the possibility to meet some old NPCs I had forgotten all about. Of course there are also NPCs that I've gotten that I could never forget about: Calder Grey being the foremost in my mind. He's literally one of the greatest and funniest NPCs Cataclysm has introduced me to and makes me proud to be a Forsaken every time he asks me what he likes most. (Hint: "Murder". He likes murder most of all.)
I found the Leyara mini-quests kind of fun in that it's reminding me that not everyone directly related to world events has a stake in things. She was Falstad's wife before he died in Sithilus (torn apart by the mean old General, no less!) and was recruited when Fandral went extra-crazy (not just kind of crazy when he kept Malfurion locked up in the Dream and poisoned him). Seeing her kind of drove it home that you don't have to be a major lore character to want to change things, even if you're misguided and following a man who holds the position of Majordomo (something Ragnaros has a habit of… erm, dethroning his subjects of regularly).
The Molten Front provides a nice change of pace if you've never seen the inside of the Firelands raid. There are fresh dailies there and a bevy of achievements to get if you're into that kind of thing (I am!). If you also happen to be a hunter and are a fan of either spider pets or pets that not everyone can get you'll find a lot of things to either camp or pray are up when you're doing your dailies. The taming challenges, while fun in theory, tend to get diminished as long as you have one or even two friends who are keen to help you. But what else could we ask for, really? You don't want the challenges to require 9 or 24 other players just to get one measly PVP pet do you?
Molten Core 2: The Reckoning is, in my mind, leagues above and beyond most of T11. The fights are tough, like I thought T11 was, and the loot is great, but there's still something about the raid that puts me in a great mood. Maybe I just remember Molten Core too fondly. And I do remember it fondly, for some reason. My rose-tinted glasses are affixed firmly before my eyes and I see nothing but rainbows and unicorns and new tabards as far as the eye can see. What difficulty of making sure 40 raiders were ready to go? What farming Azshara for hours on end to come up with raid consumables? Pffft! We ran in an killed bosses and got loot! We definitely did not spend an entire month on Ragnaros (not the instance, just a full month of wiping to one boss)! Heavens, no.
Now, I loved the hell out of Blackwing Anything and BWD tickled all the right nostalgia buttons in my brain to make me love the hell out of it. But it still felt like BWL. I was still fighting Nefarion and his minions, still putting to sleep the experiments he wrought, still having to kill dragons I felt really bad killing, still having to backhand dwarven constructs that somehow managed to stay alive during Nefarion's reign of the upper half of the mountain. It felt too recycled.
Firelands somehow manages to take the motif of Molten Core (fire? check. elementals? check.) and make it new. Killing a whole bunch of trash to spawn Shannox can be annoying, but damn it it's a fun little mechanic to get the kennel master of the Firelord out and about. Beth'tilac is also a neat gimmick and an interesting boss from a story perspective, if dry in the sense that I'm fighting Lolth but with more burning. Lord Rhyolith is interesting in that he's an elemental as old as the Firelands AND that you have to steer his lazy ass away from the bad lava. Alysrazor seems like a lot of gimmick fun as does Baleroc. Hell, I can only think of Ragnaros as a boss that has gimmicks I'm going to come to loathe!
So far TSU TAIN GUU FAITAA has downed Beth and Shannox down regularly (twice and three times, respectively) and we're making very nice progress on Lord Rhyolith. Afterwards we're gonna pluck a burning budgie out of the sky and make her cough up purples. Beyond that? I don't know. Baleroc seems like the obvious choice. At this point I don't care, though. I'm having a lot of fun with 4.2 and the Firelands and I don't want to overthink it like I tend to do with a lot of things.
You'll get boss strategies tailored to whatever roll I end up playing (looking to be a holy paladin this tier! I'm pretty excited to heal again!), but not until I feel I'm ready to talk about it without a whole bunch of guessing. So give me a week or so and you'll have a post about Shannox (who I can actually talk about as a tank, a melee DPS, a ranged DPS, and a healer since I've done all those roles for that fight!) and one soon after for Beth'tilac.
You guys can't fool me, though: I know you don't come here for the boss strats. Between all those things I'll have more ranty fluff full of meta-musings on blogging and playing the game, same as I always have. And who knows? I know a baby bear guide that needs updating. Maybe there'll be some of that, too!

the tight binding calculations do not yet allow for a change in effective masses
It would be great if the tool would also allow for changing effective masses along the device. Barrier materials have typically different effective masses from well materials. It would also be interesting to show that a spatially varying effective mass can confine electrons as well, even if there were no barriers – somewhat academic, but still neat.

Keeping the sand out of their eyesStory and photo by Spc. Sherwood T. Goodenough, 444th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment
Range officer 2nd Lt. Kevin Kuo, left, visually inspects the weapon of Spc. Douglas Hinds weapon during the 1-114 Infantry live-fire exercise on the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst's shotgun range.
For military decision-makers, managing the details of a battalion at war can quickly become like counting grains of sand in a sandstorm. In war, a flat tire changes plans, communications, intelligence reports, supply chains. And each second that passes exposes warriors on the battlefield to danger. Col. Thomas Hallowell is the leader of the team that teaches units how to keep the sand out of their eyes.
As director of simulations for the Battle Command Group (BCG) section at the Joint Training and Training Development Center (JT2DC), Hallowell leads a team of experienced Soldiers who help train battalion staff on the art and science of controlling chaos.
During a BCG Simulation Exercise held at the JT2DC on June 11, the battalion staff conducted a capstone exercise that began six months ago for the senior staff of the 1st Battalion, 114th Infantry.
While Soldiers in the field trained on firing high explosive M203 grenades, the 1-114th tactical operations center trained on the details that make them a more effective nerve center for the unit.
Hallowell said the primary goal of the exercise is increasing the unit's proficiency at information management.
"Communications has to go up, sideways and down," Hallowell said. "I'm going to ask them a million times, 'Who else needs to know?' "
This training is not unique to New Jersey. Large scale training operations like this are routinely conducted at places such as the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif., or the Joint Readiness Training Center in Fort Polk, La. But these exercises cost millions of dollars and take years to prepare.
However the simulation exercises at the JT2DC costs nothing more than the regular cost of a unit's monthly battle assembly, Hallowell said.
This approach allows the units that train with the BCG to work on the often-grueling methodology of the Military Decision Making Process in an environment that encourages creative thinking and cooperation. The cost-effectiveness and improved outcomes the BCG has achieved have led to partnerships with organizations outside of the military, Hallowell explained. Civilian Law enforcement have used the resources at the BCG to train on hostage situations; school districts have trained on how to handle shooting incidents; and plans are being developed to model Super Bowl operations at the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

Though this one-of-a-kind facility sets the bar for training simulations in the Army, Hallowell shared his urgency to always seek new ways to make the training more effective during his tenure as director.
"These are not just little icons on the screens. They're Soldiers," he said. Each of the fatalities he experience while deployed remain tattooed at the front of his mind, he said.
"If I'm leading a battalion of Soldiers I can help 700," Hallowell said. "But if I can push through a battalion of Soldiers a quarter while I'm here, I can help thousands."

I gave up on picking up the house after my son was in bed and decided a hot bath and some relaxation was more important. Which brings me to the moment of reading this. Thanks for the reminder that it's good to let myself have a break and that God doesn't expect me to do it all. :)

Redskins outside linebacker Rob Jackson has drawn a four-game suspension to begin the 2013 regular season, Howard Balzer of the Sports Xchange reported Wednesday.
According to Redskins beat reporters Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan in Washington D.C. and Mike Jones of the Washington Post, Jackson is appealing the suspension. Balzer, however, has indicated that teams have been told of Jackson's suspension, which infers that the appeals process is over, according to Balzer. Also, Rich Tandler of CSNWashington.com reports that the NFL has confirmed Jackson's suspension, meaning the suspension has been upheld, per Tandler.
Per Jones, who cited a source, the suspension is tied to a medication for pain.
Jackson started 14 games for the Redskins in 2012 after Brian Orakpo suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in September, recording 37 tackles and 4.5 sacks and intercepting four passes. The Redskins re-signed him earlier in March.
Both Jones and Paulsen reported that the club knew Jackson faced NFL discipline before the team brought him back.

Gil Barela was supposed to die six years ago.
In autumn 2007, the retired Marine, 49 at the time, began feeling unusually fatigued. Soon he started losing sensation in his legs, feet and hands. His mind was slipping, too; on one occasion he drove in circles around his Pueblo neighborhood, unable to locate his own home.
Within weeks, he found himself in a hospital bed, preparing for the worst.
He's 56 now, and has shattered his doctors' expectations.
To call Barela a survivor, however, doesn't tell the whole story. In fact, he considers himself a victim, burdened by a disease he's convinced he wouldn't have if not for years of what others have called deceit and negligence on the part of the U.S. military.
'Planning for a Funeral'
The exhaustion and physical deterioration caught up to Barela one day in October 2007, when he fainted and had to be rushed to a hospital for emergency gallbladder removal. When he awoke from surgery, he found his wife, Darla, sitting next to him, crying.
"She couldn't even speak," Barela recalls.
He'd soon learn that his liver was all but destroyed. Doctors were reluctant to take a biopsy, for fear Barela would bleed to death.
Right before Christmas, Barela was told he wouldn't live more than a week.
"I was thinking I'd be planning a funeral," Darla says.
Barela remained at Pueblo's St. Mary-Corwin Hospital until New Year's Eve, at which point his health insurance could no longer cover his stay.
On New Year's Day 2008, Barela's 50th birthday, he weighed 166 pounds. Thirty days earlier, he'd been closer to 250.
Worn out and expecting to die, he retired from the National Association of Letter Carriers, where he'd represented U.S. Postal Service labor union workers for more than 25 years. The job took him around the country for speaking engagements, and it also introduced him to Darla, herself a longtime mail carrier. The two met in Greeley after a seminar on union contracts, and they were married in 2002.
By simply reaching age 50, Barela had defied his doctors' predictions. He would spend the next 18 months in and out of doctor's appointments, and in November 2009, having sold their house, he and Darla moved to Loveland to be closer to family.
"I wanted her near them," Barela says, "You know, just in case."
Within weeks of the move, Barela, stable but still very sick, received a letter from the IRS, urging him to contact the Marine Corps as soon as possible. He spoke on the phone with a Marine representative, who asked Barela if he was aware of any contaminated water at Camp Lejeune, the 246-square-mile military base in Jacksonville, N.C., where Barela was stationed between 1981 and 1984, working as a radio repairman.
That was the first time he'd heard of contamination on the base. Barela's Marine Corps contact told him to expect a packet in the mail, and then hung up.
Waiting on the VA
In spring 2010, Barela's packet arrived. It included a questionnaire with a list of illnesses that may have been spread by Lejeune's water. Barela checked the "liver disease" box.
Having received his questionnaire, Barela was urged by Marine Corps officials to visit the Larimer County Veterans' Service Office in Fort Collins. It took three months before he could secure an appointment, but when he finally did, he met with a case worker who suggested filing a claim for the reimbursement of his medical costs.
It was not until July 13, 2011, when Barela, having far outlived his 2007 diagnosis, officially filed a claim with the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs, more commonly known as the VA.
He and Darla waited, and Barela stuck to a daily regimen that included long naps and 16 medications for a constellation of ailments. For someone suffering from terminal illness, he kept fairly busy, driving his grandchildren to school and even chairing the board of the Larimer County Fair and Rodeo, a position he holds to this day.
Still, Barela says, in many respects the liver disease "took away my livelihood."
Adds Darla: "People look at him and he seems OK. But they don't live with him. I'm watching him die before my eyes."
He also devoted much of his free time to researching Camp Lejeune. It didn't take him long to locate "The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten," a website with comprehensive information on all things Lejeune contamination. There, Barela found a list of more than 1,000 Lejeune veterans and family members suffering illnesses ranging from sleep apnea and chronic pain to a dozen different cancers. Reading their testimonials and browsing the site's registry, Barela began to realize what, exactly, had everyone so sick.
The Janey Act
Starting in the mid-1950s and continuing until 1987, many of the approximately 1 million service members and families who lived on Lejeune bathed in and drank water contaminated with harmful, sometimes deadly chemicals, including those found in dry cleaning fluid, crude oil, pesticides and refrigerants.
As Barela would learn, the existence of these chemicals in Lejeune's water was confirmed before he'd set foot in North Carolina. In 1979, the EPA cited the base as a "major polluter," with violations stemming from sewage treatment, industrial wastewater and oil discharges that had seeped into 71 of Lejeune storm drains.
In the mid-1980s, the Lejeune wells containing hazardous chemicals were tested and eventually shut down. According to National Journal Editor Mike Magner, the only reason the contamination was cut off when it was is that it'd begun seeping into the water of the base's higher-ups.
"It actually took a fuel leak directly into the water system that ended up at the officers' housing. The wife of the chief of staff turned on her faucet one day and smelled gasoline," says Magner, who authored the recent release, "A Trust Betrayed: The Untold Story of Camp Lejeune and the Poisoning of Generations of Marines and their Families."
By the time officials seriously addressed the contamination problem, it was too late for Barela and many of the hundreds of thousands of people who may have been exposed. It was too late for more than 100 children born on the base with birth defects or cancer. And, with decades-long latency periods tied to some of the contaminants, it was likely too late for many people who don't even know they were sick.
"Whole families have died from ailments caused by exposure to these chemicals," says Jerry Ensminger, a former Marine Corps drill sergeant who lived on Lejeune for 11 years. "That (stuff's) criminal. There's no other way to put it."
Ensminger co-founded The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten and has dedicated the better part of 20 years to fighting for Lejeune victims, appearing six times in Washington, D.C., to testify before the House and Senate. Like Barela and so many others, his interest in the issue developed under heartbreaking circumstances: His daughter Janey was conceived on Lejeune, and died of leukemia at just 9 years old.
Ensminger had no sense that poisonous water may have caused Janey's death, but in 1997, three years after retiring from the military, he heard a local TV station report on the release of a Camp Lejeune health assessment that revealed babies born at the base had lower birth weights, a sign of other health problems.
"I dropped my plate of spaghetti when I saw that," he recalls. "I thought, 'Oh my god, this could be the answer to the question that's bugged me since 1983."
Ensminger was angry, and he was resolved to expose the military for everything it knew about Lejeune's water.
"I can't explain to you how disillusioned I was after having been somebody that carried the torch for an organization that prides itself on honor and integrity," says Ensminger, who still lives in North Carolina, not far from Lejeune. "To see this kind of conduct from the leaders of that organizations was nothing short of betrayal."
Due in large part to Ensminger's persistence, the Janey Ensminger Act was signed in August 2012 by President Obama. The measure entitles Lejeune victims suffering from any of 15 specific ailments to free medical care. Eighteen months after the Janey Act's passage, however, Barela is still waiting. Ensminger isn't surprised.
"They go through people's claims," he says, "and they nitpick 'em to death. They find one little administrative flaw in there, and they deny you."
'No other explanation'
In May 2013, nearly two years after Barela filed his claim, the VA rejected his request for medical expense compensation, and suggested something other than Lejeune's water was responsible for his liver disease.
Barela appealed the ruling, and, at the suggestion of Ensminger, has had two different doctors write letters on his behalf.
In the opinion of Loveland gastroenterologist Lewis Strong, Barela "had multiple chemical exposures to TCE, PCE, Benzene, Ethylbenzene and Xylene while in the military."
"There is no other explanation for his cirrhosis," Strong concluded, adding that toxic exposure "contributed significantly" to Barela's liver disease.
He's also gotten some help from the offices of U.S. Sens. Mark Udall and Michael Bennet, both Colorado Democrats. One Udall staffer told Barela his case was a "slam dunk."
Evidently, all the phone calls and letters on Barela's behalf have done little good. Five weeks ago, he received a letter from the VA explaining that action on his appeal "may be delayed" due to a high volume of claims. That letter, preformatted and impersonal, symbolizes a tragic reality: According to data shared by the office of Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., only about one in four Lejeune claims are approved.
Boulder Democrat Jared Polis, Barela's representative in the U.S. House, says his staff has worked on hundreds of veteran claims, through what he describes as "an incredibly frustrating process."
"I think what we need to do through the VA is have a more customer-centric agency," Polis adds. "Many vets who should have earned benefits don't even bother pursuing them because it takes years of paperwork simply to get what they deserve."
Even if his appeal succeeds, Barela knows it won't cure him, and he's at peace with that. After all, he was supposed to be dead six years ago.
"At this point, all I want are the benefits," he says, facing Darla and clutching a folder filled with physician notes and appeal documents. "I want to know that my wife will be taken care of when I'm dead. I hope in the end that somebody will just fess up and say, 'We screwed up, and we're going to make it right.'"

Migrating From Windows to Linux For Smart People
Software Installation, User SecurityTaking baby steps to become more familiar with a new operating system can be as simple as revamping the OS already in use on your computer. It begins with unlearning Windows-born behavior to free up your mind for a new way of doing things.
Here are some tips on utilizing different open source resources to make the goal of a full time switch over to Linux a lasting one:
For Windows users, software installation is nearly always accomplished from some sort of simple GUI installer. The idea is basically to keep pounding away on the "next" button until the installer alerts its user that the installation has completed.
Linux users, on the other hand, generally prefer the simplicity of installing software through a command line prompt. Different distributions have different means of making this happen, but generally the end goal is the same install/remove/update some specific software package.
To become more familiar with this sort of behavior, I suggest getting your feet wet in the Windows world using a program called Win-Get. Based off of the same methodology of software installation for Debian Linux-based distributions, Win-Get allows its users to add and remove software via the command line using commands that are similar to what would be used in a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu.
Potential users should be aware that proprietary applications are included with open source software offerings through this program. Applications such as Adobe Reader, AVG anti-virus, Avast anti-virus are among a number of other closed source programs made available to those who opt to install Win-Get onto their Windows PCs.
While these applications are perfectly fine to use, I want to stress that not all applications offered in this way are of the open source variety.
Using a Live CD to learn Linux is simply not practical for someone interested in making a long-term switch over to desktop Linux.
Why? Being able to install and update software from the command line is going to make for a more effective Linux user in the long run. Yet at the same time, no one running a Live CD is going to fully grasp this without some previous experience.
Besides the familiarity issue, should a software installation go poorly, it will be the command line that will yield the most relevant information as to what might have taken place. So clearly, learning to become comfortable in this environment now has its merit.
One of the first things Windows XP users complain about is the need to deal with a prompt every time they wish to install or remove some piece of software after trying to work with sudo user-enabled distributions such as Ubuntu.
While some of us might point out that this same user could very well take it upon themselves to simply becoming root, the obvious dangers of running as an administrator go without saying. Clearly, running as a limited user of sorts is an important part of a very basic level of desktop security.
As Windows XP is "wide open" due to its issuing administrator accounts without any real warning as to how dangerous this truly is, it makes Windows XP the perfect candidate for a fantastic tool known as SuRun.
Unlike other open source sudo user tools for Windows, SuRun works well with Vista's UAC in addition to enabling the XP user to become more familiar with the idea of dealing with a prompt to accomplish specific tasks.
What I find most valuable about using this software is that it illustrates how many programs need to be operated using elevated credentials -- as most programs in desktop Linux do not need this when operating as a standard, non-administrator user.

Earthquake shakes Mexican capital
MEXICO CITY – An earthquake shook Mexico's capital Friday and Mexican authorities has reported a moderate magnitude of 5.3. There are no reports of damage or injuries.
Many office workers evacuated their buildings after the quake set off alarms citywide.
Mexico's national seismology service says the quake was centered in the southern state of Guerrero.
Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera says in a message from his Twitter account there are no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Mexico City is vulnerable to distant earthquakes because much of it sits atop the muddy sediments of drained lake beds. They jiggle like jelly when quake waves hit.
The magnitude-8.1 quake in 1985 that killed at least 6,000 people and destroyed many buildings in Mexico City was centered 250 miles away on the Pacific Coast.

The study is designed as a Phase I, non-randomized, open-label, pharmacokinetic study. We hypothesize that administration of tenofovir 150 mg once daily to HIV-infected Thai adults with moderate renal function impairment (CLcr between 30 to <50 mL/min) will provide comparable drug exposure to the current recommended dose of 300 mg every 48 hours.
Confirmed HIV-positive subjects receiving tenofovir (TDF) 300 mg, every 48 hours, as part of an NNRTI-based or lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r)-based HAART regimen will be proposed to participate.
Subjects meeting the required criteria will be enrolled into one of 2 groups depending on their HAART regimen: .
Group 1: Subjects receiving tenofovir 300 mg, every 48 hours, in combination with lamivudine and an NNRTI,and a confirmed CLcr 30 to <50 mL/min
Group 2: Subjects receiving tenofovir 300 mg, every 48 hours, in combination with lamivudine and lopinavir/ritonavir, and a confirmed CLcr 30 to <50 mL/min
The study procedures are identical for both groups. All subjects enrolled will have two study visits. At the first visit, a 48-hour pharmacokinetic evaluation will be performed. Immediately following completion of the PK sampling, the tenofovir dose will be changed to 150 mg, once daily. Two weeks later, at the second visit, a 24-hour pharmacokinetic evaluation will be performed. Following completion of the second PK sampling the tenofovir dose will be changed back to 300 mg every 48 hours. At this time the subjects has reach the end of the study.
|Study Type :
|Interventional (Clinical Trial)
|Actual Enrollment :
|40 participants
|Intervention Model:
|Single Group Assignment
|None (Open Label)
|Primary Purpose:
|Official Title:
|Tenofovir Pharmacokinetics in HIV-infected Thai Adults With Moderate Renal Function Impairment Receiving Either a Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (NNRTI)-Based or Lopinavir/Ritonavir-based Antiretroviral Therapy
|Study Start Date :
|August 2012
|Actual Primary Completion Date :
|January 2014
|Actual Study Completion Date :

|Experimental: Tenofovir-containing HAART
Other: Tenofovir Dose Adjustment
In subjects with a confirmed CLcr 30 to <50 mL/min, switch tenofovir 300 mg every 48 hours, to 150 mg once daily for 2 weeks.
- Tenofovir plasma area-under the concentration time curve (AUC) [ Time Frame: Study Entry and Day 14 ]For each patient, ratios of AUC0-last of q24h versus q48h will be calculated. Geometric mean ratios (GMRs) with 90% CI will be calculated after log-transformation of within patient ratios.

I used Regia Cotton yarn again & these are a bit bigger than the other ones I have done as the person size is bigger than me.
I have some other news I may be getting a sale for some socks it could be the other Cotton socks & the Bamboo socks I have knitted & posted recently they may be going along with 2 other pairs of Men's socks which I will have to knit so a order for 4 pairs of socks.
Okay I won't be rich but I will make enough to cover the yarn plus some for me I have been asking what prices do people think knitted socks go for & I have had prices range from as low as $12 up to $100 well working in USA dollars $12 wouldn't cover the yarn but while I would love to get a $100 I don't think I would.
Here in the UK people wouldn't buy them may be someone who had or knows how nice hand-knitted socks are may buy some but very rare so any sales I get I think will be from the USA possible Canada
I am thinking of trying to sell on Etsy which is something I hope to try I would like to know what is the average sizes for your country, here in the UK 4-5 for a ladies & 8-9 for men are the most popular sizes I do knit my socks slightly smaller than the standard size as while I am that size for part I am shorter in the foot so at least hand-knitted socks will fit me lol

I read that the physical (hard copy) CD of BTIKM is also available in Germany and Austria. Why only in a few countries and not worldwide??
- February 29, 2012 at 2:15 AM
The US singer, Meatloaf, in London, discussing three singers that he is/was jealous of because of their "overdrive" voices: Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, and....... ADAM LAMBERT (of course..). He said they are the only singers that he knows of who have this ability.
- February 29, 2012 at 2:17 AM
You're welcome! Happy to help..
@Anon 2:15 AM
The link I posted at 12:23 AM was I believe for the German one..BTIKM...
- February 29, 2012 at 2:19 AM
Please vote for Adam in the New Now Next Awards Superfan Site. Here's the link but unfortunately, the main site is under maintenance at the moment so we can't access the link directly ....
I keep checking to see if it's up and running.
It would be wonderful for Adam to win this, and even more so since he's performing at the Awards.
- February 29, 2012 at 2:24 AM
I have to say that the blog that has been nominated is one that many of us are very familiar with and, like 24/7, has been with Adam since his Idol days. It's Adam Lambert Official Unofficial and the first site I finally got brave enough to post anything at all on. I have obviously made up for my reluctance to post anything on the internet since then! LOL!! I met some amazing people on there, we met up for concerts in the early days, beginning with Fantasy Springs, and all through that glorious year of Glam Nation, and is responsible for some wonderful close friendships. (The same with this blog..) The administrators, Carol and Lila are friends of mine too..They were sooo excited to know the site was nominated, quite taken my surprise..and its also something we would like for Adam as well. Because, as we know very well, his fans are the BEST!! I've been checking NewNowNext website, but it's till undergoing "Maintenance"of some sort, rather like the VH1 site, so as soon as its back up, it would be really great to vote on that as well. Another good cause!
- February 29, 2012 at 3:01 AM
Hi Glizylady and all!
I followed Unofficial Official after Idol season 8 when I badly needed :) any news about Adam L..
Well-maintained site with very clever and funny people. Thanks to them!
ps. very sunny and snowy in Finland
- February 29, 2012 at 3:38 AM
I love that Adam is going Top 30, but it frustrates the heck out of me that I haven't heard it on the radio once here in St. Louis!
Any St. Louis Glamberts out there? Please start requesting BTIKM. I've tried Y98 and Z107.7, any other suggestions?
Let's get Adam going in St. Louis!!
- February 29, 2012 at 5:30 AM
Glitzylady, thanks for the info re that blog site we must vote on for the New Now Next Award.
Watched the Meatloaf interview where he talked about the "Overdrive" vocal technique. There's a link to where a singing teacher talks about the different techniques of singing:
- February 29, 2012 at 5:45 AM
Lots of great news! FYE going platinum, Adam performing NewNowNext and AI. Kudos from Meatloaf once again. And congrats to the Official Unofficial fansite! This was my FIRST site to visit regularly. I've branched out to several others now, but still like it! Good luck in the voting!
- February 29, 2012 at 7:33 AM
JAK here........can I be a St. Louis Glambert too if I was born there in 1935 in the post hospital at Jefferson Barracks? I understand the whole area has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. I doubt my being born there had anything to do with that!
After living in more states than I have fingers to count I am now a Tampa,FL Glambert. Unfortunately, I have never heard Adam's music on the radio here! :(
- February 29, 2012 at 8:02 AM
YAY on the radio news!!!!!
Thanks for everyone's great posts on this site all the time!
- February 29, 2012 at 8:49 AM
Hey JB I to request BTIKM in St. Louis and get nothing. Same ten or twelve songs over and over. How does an artist get spins, when a Rhinna or Madonna is an automatic play until your sick of hearing it.
- February 29, 2012 at 10:11 AM
JAK here...Oh Boy! He's nipping at Nickelback's heels. They are my daughter's great passion of the moment....now if he could skip over them and head on up the chart...I could crow! Go Adam!
- February 29, 2012 at 11:02 AM
Frustrating yes...but keep requesting! Respectfully of course, but keep at it.

I also used to frequent Adam Official Unofficial until I came upon this site! I love this site because it is sooooooo easy to use!!
Good new for that fansite...yay! I voted for them yesterday when i saw the tweet.
@MGF it's good to hear from you! I guess RL is still a major factor as to why we don't hear from you much??
- February 29, 2012 at 12:13 PM
BTIKM is rising and Adam is going to lots of radio stations over the next week or so. Some of these songs will become recurrent so Adam could move up a couple of spots. Once top 20 we should be hearing the song on a more regular rotation.That will happen on HAC before top 40 though.Keep requesting, that's the key right now. If they play it text your station and thank them too.
- February 29, 2012 at 12:39 PM
JAK, I can use any help I can get requesting BTIKM in St. Louis. Just phone or e-mail them so that I'm not the only one doing it! I don't know how they'll respond when they find out that you're calling from Florida. They will assume that they don't have a large Florida audience!
- February 29, 2012 at 1:48 PM
I also hung out at Adam official unofficial at the start and got to "know" the regulars.I changed to this site when I found out about it as it is so up to date.Both great sites and so precious to us.

OMG, it is still unlimited easy voting at VH1.
Just select Adam at the top of the list and hit the vote button at the bottom of the list. If the vote again button doesn't work I use the drop down in the address bar to go back and vote again.
- February 29, 2012 at 2:20 PM
Believe it or not, I heard IIHY for the first time here in fla. Never BTIKM except on sirus xm a few times. Seems this state is so behind. Same songs over and over, sometimes same song on 3 or 4 different stations at the same time. I'm always turning the station trying to find adam lol
- February 29, 2012 at 7:25 PM
feel very sorry for all the people in Mo. & ILLinois that was hit by the tornadoes last night & today it did tear some siding off of my garage I heard the roar it came off my garage & hit the side of my house that was bad enough. JB you are not the only one that has requested BTIKM on the St.Louis stations I have been & also Springfield Ill last sunday they told me 3 different times they would play it my granddaugher & I listened all afternoon they never did play it. I was ticked off they lied to us.

Anon 7:25 I have never heard IIHY in California.
Anon 9:01, I too have done the same, but I have always wondered how long the que is on average for radio stations. I am learning that there is a regular rotation, but don't know where requests fit in to that rotation.
I did find some info on how radio stations decide what to play: (there are other pertinent links there as well)

@ JB........JAK here
I have called in a posse of nieces and their daughters to make some radio station calls requesting that Adam be played in St. Louis.
It's still home base for many members of my family. I talked with one nephew and when I said Adam Lambert, he said "WHO"? So he's no help. Oddly enough, even the females who weren't necessarily fans......ALL knew who Adam was!!!!!
- March 1, 2012 at 7:23 AM
9:01 here thank you JAK we need all the help we can get in this area 99.7 kiss fm are the ones that lied to me central ILL needs all the help we can get. 1 hr south of St. Louis we seen Adam at the peagent & also seen him on AI tour in St. Louis we did get a autograghed picture I have mine hanging with all my family.

Verizon Communications Inc. pension-plan beneficiaries lost a bid to block the company's transfer of $7.5 billion in plan obligations to Prudential Insurance Co. of America.
U.S. District Judge Sidney A. Fitzwater in Dallas today denied a request by two retirees who worked for a Verizon predecessor to issue an order stopping the deal, saying they failed to show a "substantial likelihood of success on the merits" of their case.
The transaction, under which the retired managers' plan would be converted to an annuity, would strip them and about 41,000 other beneficiaries of the protections of federal law and cause irreparable harm, they said in lawsuit filed Nov. 27.
"Plaintiffs have failed to establish a substantial likelihood that Verizon has a specific intent to interfere with their rights," Fitzwater wrote in his opinion today. "They do not offer a rebuttal to Verizon's proffered legitimate, nondiscriminatory reasons for defining the group of retirees for the annuity contract."
Verizon, the second-largest U.S. phone company, said on Oct. 17 that it planned to shift about one-fourth of its pension obligations to Prudential to remove risk from its balance sheet. The New York-based company has said the beneficiaries' lawsuit is without merit and it may be harmed if the transaction isn't completed by Dec. 10.
"Verizon's actions regarding its pensions protect the interests of our retired management employees," the company said in a Nov. 29 statement. "The monthly pension benefits of the retirees receiving an annuity from Prudential will remain unchanged."
The unit of Prudential Financial Inc., the second-largest U.S. life insurance company, is also a defendant in the suit. In a Dec. 5 filing, the Newark, New Jersey-based company told Fitzwater the plaintiffs' pensions will remain safe and urged him to reject their request to block the transfer.
"Prudential has paid retiree benefits under group annuity contracts and other arrangements since 1928 without interruption," according to the filing.
The case is Lee v. Verizon Communications Inc., 12-cv-4834, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas (Dallas).

Request - Creating the Environment to Write... Part 3
Where do you write --
Away from clutter? Lose yourself in a coffee house? You get the picture.
****I write in two places-- my writing shed (aka Poetry Barn - (still in need of a new formal name as it is my true writing studio)) and inside in our home-office, which also is part art room.
I prefer my writing shed because it is
1) less noisy
2) has less disruptions
3) is more tidy
4) was built for the purpose of being my writing studio.
Though sometimes I start writing downstairs in my home-office and do not leave even while being distracted by cats and interrupted again (all with loving kindness) by my husband who is also like a cat in that same way he'll just come in when I'm working, sit down and start meowing...I mean, talking.
When I write inside I keep a note on my bulletin board (inspired by Tatyana Mishel who gave it to me) that reads:
Time is on my side- Interruptions included.
I needed to put this up because I was getting a knot in my stomach every time someone interrupted me.
What I now realize is that unless I tell my family that I am writing and not to disturb me for a bit, I will be disturbed.
Or I need to write in my shed. It's one of the other.
If you have a family, you have interruptions and distractions.
If you have cats, you also have interruptions and distractions.
For me, it's best to write without any distractions. I've always been easily distracted (you should hear me tell a story as it usually begins, "Oh, I've meaning to tell about this book I've been reading that deals with--EAGLE! Look up, there's an eagle!... [quiet]--what was I talking about?")
I also love being away from clutter, but I also know if there's a lot of clutter, I'm usually lost in my work. I clean up my desk about once every two weeks just to keep things organized.
For a while I wrote in coffeeshops and loved that. There was one that had this delicious chai tea and terrible metal chairs. I would write more from 9:30 am-noon than I did at home because there was nothing else to do there. And the chairs were so uncomfy.
I recommend coffeeshops and know that January O'Neill is a big fan of "Starbucking."
But now, most of my writing happens in my shed either late at night or when my daughter is at school. I can disappear there. No one finds me. There is no phone. People knock on my front door and because I'm hidden away, I do not have to answer it. My golden retriever can write with me there as well.
It's absolutely perfect and I'm getting excited for fall because that is really when my writing life begins again.
Part 4 of Creating the Environment to Write coming soon!

Though town officials say they�re creating a road hazard, the owners of the Black Sheep Tavern say they�re just trying to stay afloat.
Constantino and Tony Zahariadis told selectmen Wednesday night that they need the town�s help if they are going to comply with a Nov. 22 cease-and-desist order from the Department of Public Works. The DPW said the tavern had been pumping water from its basement through a series of drains and pipes that led to busy Leominster Road (Route 12), where it freezes and creates an unsafe roadway.
The brothers contend that they�re fighting a losing battle with a high water table in northern Sterling and the force of gravity, which pulls water from their catch basin and parking lot into the public street. The problem has been made worse, Tony Zahariadis said, by a blockage in a nearby town- or state-owned culvert under Route 12.
�A lot of that water that�s coming out (of the basement) is coming right off Route 12,� Mr. Zahariadis said.
Mr. Zahariadis said he and his brother have made an effort to contain the water on their property, removing the pipe close to the roadway and spending �a substantial amount of money� on excavations this winter.
Paul M. Sushchyk, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, said the problem has to be fixed, somehow.
�I�ve driven by it. It�s icing up our road,� Mr. Sushchyk said. �We view this as a liability issue.�
Selectmen recommended that the brothers have a discussion with William Tuttle, the town�s director of public works, and meet again with selectmen in early March.

SALISBURY — After not holding the event in 2011, Vermont Sun officials decided this year to bring back the grueling Vermont Journey, which was contested on Sunday and based at Branbury State Park on Lake Dunmore — and was dominated by newcomers to the Half Ironman distance triathlon.
The Vermont Journey is the longest triathlon held in Vermont, consisting of 1.2 miles of swimming, 56 miles of biking and 13.1 miles of running. The Vermont Journey is the apex of the Vermont Sun Triathlon Series of five triathlons.
