Riding shotgun in a Toyota 4Runner rigged up with a carbon-fiber pipe and a spectrometer, Duke University researcher Rob Jackson trolled through Washington searching for evidence that natural gas is not quite the climate champion President Barack Obama claimed this week.
He was replicating a study he did in Boston, measuring leaks from creaky natural gas pipes. In addition to being a possible safety risk, methane, the key component of natural gas, is 25 times as potent a greenhouse gas as carbon dioxide. And leaks may undercut much of the climate benefits of gas.
"First and foremost this is a greenhouse-gas question," Jackson said as he drove near the Capitol. "What we are trying to find out is how big a problem this is for cities."
In a climate plan released with a speech at Georgetown University on June 25, Obama called for an accounting of leaks across the natural gas production and transport sector. The address was mostly upbeat for gas, highlighting the benefits of shifting from coal, and shares of gas companies such as Chesapeake Energy Corp. (CHK) and Cabot Oil & Gas Co. (COG) rose.
"We should strengthen our position as the top natural gas producer because, in the medium term at least, it not only can provide safe, cheap power, but it can also help reduce our carbon emissions," Obama said. "It's the transition fuel that can power our economy with less carbon pollution."
Fine Print
Included in the fine print of the White House climate plan, however, are measures that could complicate the industry's growth, such as a closer look at the scope of leaks from gas wells, pipelines and compressor plants. Depending on what it finds, new regulations could be imposed.
Obama also called for new and upgraded pipelines to reduce leaks. And an "interagency methane strategy" was announced to get a better handle on emissions data and identifying technologies and opportunities to cut them.
This comes on top of a proposal by the Environmental Protection Agency in April to change its calculation of methane's climate intensity. The agency said it is considering raising the global-warming potential multiplier for methane to 25 from 21, a change that would increase the official estimate of U.S. emissions, which had been declining. Last year, they were down more than 12 percent from the peak in 2007, the steepest drop since the late 1970s.
100 Years
Critics such as Cornell University engineering professor Tony Ingraffea say that even at 25, the EPA is under counting the true threat.
"Any decrease in carbon-dioxide emissions is more than offset by the methane," Ingraffea said. The EPA is looking at the impact of methane over 100 years, "but we don't have a hundred years to do something about global warming."
The issue has gained importance as natural gas production in the U.S. has soared, boosted by the expanding use of a drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing that frees gas trapped in shale deposits deep underground. That boom drove prices to decade lows last year.
Burning coal produces twice the carbon-dioxide emissions as natural gas, and carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere for up to 200 years compared with 12 years for methane, according to the EPA.
The scope of gas leakage is the key to determining what climate benefit natural gas delivers over coal, which accounted for 37 percent of electricity generation last year, down from 49 percent in 2007. As rules from the EPA curb coal use, determining where gas leaks are happening and stopping them is the key to making sure one climate pollutant doesn't replace another, according to environmental groups such as the World Resources Institute.
'Poor Benchmark'
"Given the support we've seen for natural gas in this administration and the way the industry has grown and is expected to grow, getting a handle on these emissions is really important," James Bradbury, a senior associate in the climate program at the institute, said in an interview. "While natural gas is better than coal, coal is a very poor benchmark to use."
The ISE-REVERE (FCGIV) Natural Gas Index (FUM), which includes securities for natural gas producers Chesapeake and Cabot, rose 2.4 percent this week, reversing what had been a more than 5 percent decline this month. Coal-related shares, such as Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU) and Arch Coal Inc. (ACI), have fallen. The Stowe Global Coal (COAL) index of companies that produce and sell coal, including Arch, fell this week to its lowest level since the depths of the recession in March 2009.
Industry Reaction
The gas industry responded largely favorably to Obama's climate plan, saying it has an "incredible opportunity" to help meet the goals, a different response than coal producers and coal-state governors who trashed the plan as a job killer.
"We now have a great opportunity to explain the role natural gas can play," Paula Gant, senior vice president at the American Gas Association, said in an interview. Gas is "part of the climate solution the president highlighted."
The gas utilities are spending $7 billion a year upgrading their pipeline and delivery systems, and partnering with the Environmental Defense Fund on what else they can do to cut down on any methane losses, she said.
"We want to continue to find ways to drive down" emissions, she said. "Gas is the future."
For many environmental groups, that's just what they fear.
They warn that the short-term benefits of switching to natural gas may not be worth long-term problems, making it a poor "transition fuel." On the local level, hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is blamed for contaminating water by some citizens and activist groups.
'False Step'
"The president's ongoing infatuation with natural gas was one false step," Stephen Kretzmann, executive director of Oil Change International, said in a statement that broadly praised Obama's climate speech.
The climate impact of methane is another concern. In December seven states notified the EPA that it would sue the agency for failing to adopt curbs on methane from oil and gas drilling. And the scope of those emissions are a matter of dispute, with industry and critics awaiting a study by the Environmental Defense Fund that will serve as a new benchmark. It's scheduled to be released in the coming weeks.
For Jackson, who funded his study through the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke, his part of the equation is to find out how much methane is leaking out once the gas is being piped to homes.
In Washington, he is spending this week in a silver 4Runner, outfitted with the pipe sticking up eight feet to determine how high the flume of gas is rising, an anemometer on the roof to measure wind speed, and the spectrometer in the rear for methane readings. At spots with especially high readings, the researchers get out of the car to test inside manholes by hand.
In Boston, his team found 3,356 leaks with concentrations up to 15 times naturally occurring levels, according to the study published last year. In Washington, they have found the number of leaks are fewer per mile, but each one is bigger.
"So far the cities look leakier than people anticipated," Jackson said.

I lost the memory of rocky road ice cream somewhere. I rediscovered it in an old, yellowed notebook where my mom had written Stefani's favorite things at age 5: "Favorite ice cream flavor: rocky road ice cream."
How could rocky road ice cream have been my favorite flavor when I don't like marshmallows – one of rocky road ice cream's three key mix-ins (along with almonds and chocolate chips)? When did I decide that I didn't like marshmallows, and why? Maybe I would still like them in rocky road ice cream.
I took my entire container of homemade chocolate buttermilk ice cream and converted it to rocky road ice cream. You can do this with your favorite chocolate ice cream by letting it melt slightly and mixing in chocolate chips, chopped almonds, and marshmallows and then re-freezing it (or you can add the mix-ins right in your ice cream maker if you are making the ice cream from scratch and your model allows it).
What did my bowl of rocky road ice cream look like when I was done eating it?
Go check out the rocky road cupcakes that I made for Paula Deen. They're chocolate cupcakes with chocolate chips, marshmallows, and almonds mixed in, topped with a toasted chocolate meringue frosting.

BABSON PARK, Mass.—Babson College's Nik Tasiopoulos scored the go-ahead goal at 11:21 of the second period and goalie Jamie Murray made 16 of his 36 saves over the final 20 minutes, to lead the sixth ranked Beavers past No. 9/12 men's ice hockey by the final of 3-2 Saturday afternoon in an ECAC East conference showdown at the Babson Skating Center.
The loss, which is the third straight for the Beacons dropped their overall record to 13-4-2, 6-4-2 in the conference. The Beacons winners of their last five improved to 16-3-0, 10-2-0 in the ECAC East.
Junior Nathan Milam (Westland, Mich.) and sophomore Peter MacIntyre (Norfolk, Mass.), who entered the game ranked second nationally in scoring, both had a goal for the Beacons. Junior Stephen Buco (North Providence, R.I.) added a pair of assists while MacIntyre and senior Travis Daniel (North Brunswick, N.J.) each had one.
Mike Driscoll and freshman Michael Phillips each scored for the Beavers, who got three assists from sophomore Mike Vollmin. Tasiopoulos, senior Troy Starrett and Jon Mleczko all chipped in with an assist in the win.
Babson jumped on top 1-0 just 5:14 into the game as Phillips scored his fourth power play goal of the season, converting a feed from Tasiopoulos, following a UMass-Boston cross check. The Beavers then doubled their advantage just 4:15 later when Driscoll scored his second goal of the weekend series and team-leading ninth of the season at the 9:19 mark.
MacIntyre cut the Beaver's lead in half just moments later, notching his 16th goal of the season, just 16 seconds after a Babson penalty to make it 2-1 at 11:44 of the first. The Beavers were unable to convert a power play opportunity late in the opening period, and the Beacons took advantage, knotting the game at 2-2 just 5:28 into the second.
Babson was whistled for its second penalty of the game at the 4:14 mark and Milam scored his 10th goal of the season off assists from MacIntyre and Buco 1:14 later. Tasiopoulos broke the tie just under six minutes later though, scoring his ninth goal of the season on a shot from the slot at the 11:21 mark.
UMass Boston outshot the Beavers 16-10 in the third period and had a trio of power play opportunities, two of which came in the game's final three minutes. Murray stopped a point-blank shot by sophomore Frankie DeAugustine (Pittsburgh, Pa.) with just under three minutes left and then denied a pair of deflections by Milam and MacIntyre with a minute and a half remaining.
The Beacons pulled sophomore goaltender Billy Faust (Alta Loma, Calif.) for the final 1:14, but Babson was able to kill off 52 seconds of their two-man advantage to secure the victory.
Faust finished with 33 saves for the Beacons, who also held a 38-36 advantage in shots on goal and won one more face off than the Beavers.
Beacons return to action next Friday when they host Skidmore College at 7 p.m.

China Arnold (born March 29, 1980, in Dayton, Ohio) is an American convicted murderer.
Arnold, who had been convicted of abduction in 2000, and forgery in 2002, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on September 8, 2008 for burning her 3-week old daughter, Paris, to death in a microwave oven on August 30, 2005.
At the time, Arnold lived with her children and her boyfriend, Terrell Talley, in a housing complex. Prosecutors said that she placed Paris into the microwave after an argument with Talley over the baby's paternity; she told investigators that she was intoxicated. Arnold took Paris to the hospital the next day, where she died of her injuries. Arnold was arrested initially, then released due to lack of evidence. She was re-arrested in November 2006.

Brazilian president tackles tough sell at Davos
The worst currency crisis to hit global markets in five years is not the best time to pitch Brazil as a place for international investment. But Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff had already made the trip to snowy Davos, so she boldly took the stage in front of hundreds of attendees at the World Economic Forum Friday and dutifully sang her country's praises.
Citing her record of raising 42 million people into the middle class, and her intentions to use the country's oil wealth to improve education, Rousseff described a country in change. She acknowledged that tighter monetary policy would increase short-term volatility in emerging markets but stuck to her guns on overall prospects, even as she was buffeted with questions about the Argentinian crisis in a private meeting with journalists afterward.
FULL COVERAGE: Davos 2014
WAGGONER: Betting on Brazil? It's an Olympic-size bet
The currencies of Turkey, South Africa and Argentina have had their worst week since 2008, as the, um, snowball effect from the Federal Reserve's decision to taper its bond-buying program threatens to yank emerging market investments toward stronger developed markets and their currencies, such as the U.S. dollar. Argentina devalued the peso as an emergency measure.
A tough sell indeed for one of the famous emerging BRIC markets, but Rousseff had an ace up her sleeve. At the end of her speech, she invited everyone to the World Cup soccer tournament in Brazil in June. Tough to turn down, even for jittery global investors.

An offensive tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers was stabbed twice during an attempted carjacking early Saturday on the city's South Side, police said.
Police said 23-year-old Michael Adams told officers he was standing near his truck shortly after 3 a.m. when he was confronted by three men, one armed with a knife and one armed with a handgun.
Adams told police the trio tried to carjack him, but he didn't have his car keys. He said "the situation escalated" and one man pointed the gun at his face while the other stabbed him twice before all three fled, according to police.
Adams went into a nearby restaurant to seek help and was later taken to UPMC Mercy, where he had surgery for stab wounds to the abdomen and left forearm. Police said he was in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries.
Adams tweeted: "I had an angel lookin out for me! I'll be ok just gotta fight to get back harder then ever."
He was drafted in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft and named the team's outstanding rookie, starting six of the 10 games in which he played.
Police said they were looking for suspects.

Back To Work
After a day off, it is back to business for the Phillies, with the Washington Nationals in town to start a six-game homestand. Arizona follows for three starting Tuesday.
Phillies are 44-18 at home, coming on the heels of 52-29 last season. That's 96-47 which really shows Phillies fans are the 10th player. It has to be intimidating for the visiting team with sellouts by passionate fans.
Wondering what is the club record for most wins at home? Well, it goes back to the 1977 club, 60-21.
One more number, Phillies are 20-16 against the NL East this season.
Alumni Weekend
What a great group of fans showed up for the Alumni Luncheon for Seniors on Thursday noon in the Diamond Club. We sold out the event, 250 seats.
Fans got to ask questions of John Kruk, Mitch Williams, Jim Bunning, Tony Taylor, Rick Wise and Tommy Greene. As you can imagine, Kruk and Mitch were a comedy duo. They could have gone on forever.
Fans really showed their knowledge of the game and Phillies history. They weren't bashful in asking questions, either. Scott Palmer did a super job as the MC as he always does.
So, next week, we'll go back to the drawing board planning the same event for next year.
Alumni Weekend continues Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Check Releases on phillies.com's home page for the details. Also on phillies.com is a gallery of photos from the luncheon. Just look for photos on the home page.
Alumni Views
What changes would you like to see in Major League Baseball is a question posed to Phillies Alumni.
Marty Bystrom, (RHP, 1980-84)
"I think MLB should consider instituting instant replay for out and safe calls on the bases."
E-Mail Bin
From Frances: I have followed the Phillies since1956. There was an announcer (possibly By Saam or Gene Kelly) who use a phrase during the 7th inning stretch: "tug on the cap, rub your nose, cross your fingers and knock on wood". Would anyone know who used these words?
"Spoke with Chris Wheeler. He and I both agree the announcer who made those comments was Gene Kelly. Chris and I were fans as kids and remember Kelly saying that."
From Joseph: At Phillies home games, is the Official Scorer an employee of MLB and a part of the umpiring crew, or an employee of the Phillies? Help settle a bet!
"Official scorers are employees of Major League Baseball. Scorers are provided with a TV monitor and have access to replays. Clubs are asked to review their scorers after each season but the decision to dismiss or hire a scorer rests with MLB."

Dani's chasing gold with no Delhi regret
Champion Australian discus thrower Dani Samuels insists she is better prepared to claim Commonwealth Games gold than she was prior to her infamous withdrawal from the Delhi squad four years ago.
But the affable 26-year-old, who on Friday claimed bronze at the Diamond League meet in Glasgow as the ideal preparation for the Games in a fortnight, maintains there are no regrets over her decision to pull out of Delhi.
Samuels, the gold medal favourite for the Games which will also be held in Glasgow, already has a Commonwealth bronze medal - from 2006 in Melbourne.
But she admits standing atop the dais is what she really wants.
She was expected to cross that task off in Delhi, before a combination of health and security concerns led her to withdrawing on the eve of the Games.
"I have a bronze to my name but a gold medal has always been on the list of things I want to achieve," she said.
"It's really important to me. Everything has been focused towards the Comm Games this year.
"I'm in better shape now than I was (in 2010). "So I'm looking forward to competing and putting on that green and gold and hopefully winning. It will be very sweet (to get gold) hopefully when that happens."
But when asked if now, four years on, she had any regrets Samuels responded with a confident "no".
"I don't think like that," she said.
"With anything, say you missed the last Olympics or World Champs for whatever reason whether it was injury or sickness or anything, I guess it does give you that little bit of excitement because you haven't been to one in ages."
Samuels certainly is in the form of her life.
The 2009 IAAF world champion has cleared 67 metres on three occasions this year and says she feels capable of throwing 65m even on bad days - a mark she passed with her sixth and final throw on Friday, notching 65.21m, to finish third as Croatia's Sandra Perkovic (66.30m) was edged out American Gia Lewis-Smallwood (67.59m) for the first time this year.
Samuels' biggest throw of the day, which looked certain to break her personal best of 67.99m, was red-flagged as she had overstepped the mark - but it gave her confidence that big throws are well within her range.
"I heard some people cheer but I thought 'oh ok it's a foul, whatever'," Samuels said.
"But that's the thing - (that distance) is there. I'm really happy with my consistency."
Also claiming a third placing on Friday was 400m hurdler Lauren Wells, who produced an explosive finish to record her second fastest time of the year, crossing the line in 55.78s.
It is Wells' second consecutive top three finish, after her season best time of 55.69s to win at the Memorial Leon Buyle in Belgium last weekend.
"The finish just comes from not wanting people to beat you," she said.
In the men's 5000m, Ben St Lawrence finished an impressive tenth among a highly competitive field in a season-best time of 13:25.68 while Collis Birmingham finished 16th in a time of 13:49.83 and in the women's 1500m Zoe Buckman came 12th in a time of 4:06.30.

In March 2011 I started the 'Men Who Get It' Project
The ultimate aim of the project is to include more men in the conversation about how to achieve gender-balanced leadership in our organizations.
First I asked women to identify men who get it using the following criteria:
Men who get it share some of the following characteristics and actions:
They are full life partners, playing an equal role in parenting and the home
They speak out against sexism
They are aware of gender stereotypes and are not constrained by them
They mentor and advocate for women
They promote women to join men in leadership positions because they know it makes good business sense
They intentionally create gender-balanced teams and workplaces for better performance
They find creative ways to keep and promote women who take career breaks
They are prepared to step off the career ladder and take the lead in parenting
They want to be included in the conversation about gender equity
They are cool, 21st century men who want women to be themselves and bring something additive and different to the table.
Based on these criteria I asked women to nominate suitable candidates for interview. I wanted to discover how and why these men supported women, and how we might encourage more men to do the same.
The men I've interviewed to date are aged between 26 and 80 years old, from varied professions and from different countries, including the UK, Sweden, Australia, Canada, USA, Switzerland and Dubai.
Here are some revelations and insights from the interviews so far:
They Do Exist
When my female friends learned about the project many predicted I would have very few nominations (implication – there aren't many men out there who 'get it'). In fact, although many women could only think of one or two men in their network who fit some of the criteria, most could nominate someone.
Insight: 'Men who get it' do exist, even if they are in the minority, and many want to be supportive and be included in the conversation on gender balance and equality.
They Are Influential And Have Good Ideas
Men are finding creative ways to support women, for example: Carl Otto in Canada created a measurement tool that shows how women tend to be better investment managers (and as a result has promoted more women than men in his organization); David Solomon in Australia and Eric Shoars in the USA both coach, publish and present on the merits of promoting more women into leadership positions; and Joe Keefe, CEO of Pax World Investments lobbies shareholders on board diversity and women's empowerment.
Insight: If we include and encourage men who understand the merits of gender-balanced leadership they will find influential ways to join with us and bring about change.
Men Speaking To Men Might Work Better
Some interviewees suggested that men talking to other men could be more influential because "men might be seen as more credible because it is not seen as women pushing their own interests" and "men who are guilty of sexism are the ones less likely to take challenge from strong women." Spotlighting men who are walking the talk on gender balance, particularly those with high positional authority, could be especially influential with other men.
Insight: we can continue to exclude men and make gender balance a women's issue. Or, we can intentionally include men who are already on our side and make it an organizational and human issue.
Gender Equality Fatigue Requires A Different Approach
Many men are not against gender-balanced leadership; they are simply passive, "like they are waiting for someone else to do something about it – they feel it's somehow beyond personal action." In fact many men (and some women) don't understand why we are still talking about this at all – hasn't the issue been solved?
Insight: there is evident fatigue, particularly in the western world, around gender equality. We need to take a different approach if we want to influence change in the near future. Intentionally identifying and collaborating with 'men who get it' could provide added impetus for change.
Values Are As Important As The Business Case
Most of the men interviewed were motivated to action more by their personal values than by the business case for more women leaders. It wasn't that they disbelieved the business case, quite the opposite. But it was personal values such as fairness, tolerance, respect and equality that really compelled these men to act.
Insight: It makes sense to influence change through research and facts. At the same time, let's not forget that values and emotional engagement are essential components in bringing about change.
In this blog I can't tell you all of good stories I heard about how and why these men who get it support women. But to give you a taste, here are a few priceless quotes from my interviews:
"In my experience the brightest and most searching minds just happen to have been carrying handbags"
Alex McNabb, Director, Public Relations, Dubai
"I think about gender when I'm recruiting because I don't want 100% male population" Anders Karlstrom, Founder & co-owner, Leadership in Life Science, Sweden
"I'm a proud feminist"
Bruno Mital, Director General, Nonprofit, Canada
"We are leaving half of our best and brightest minds on the sidelines."
Eric Shoars, Management Consultant, USA
"When I read the list of men who get it qualities I was really interested and inspired to be on it…I thought, that's really not that hard, it's really not beyond everyday action."
Hugh Todd, Executive Coach, Australia
Do you know any men who get it? If you do, why not send them this blog and start a conversation about getting more gender-balance at the top of our organizations. Let's be intentionally collaborative – after all, isn't that supposed to be one of our great strengths?
And if you have any positive suggestions about how to further the work of the Men Who Get It Project I will be glad to hear from you.

Subject: New to the list
Hello, my name is Thom and I am a studioholic....
Oops, wrong list.
I am considering improving my basement to provide a multiuse
environment. I see the space used as a home theater, music practice
area, jam area and occasional recording area. Does anyone have any
suggestion on what sort of STC I am going to be happy with?
Other factors:
recent frame single family residential construction
Some walls in area are sub-grade poured in place concrete
about 750 sq. ft. to be included - approx. 20 x 35 x10
currently bare concrete and studs
Family of four (the children represent noise sources inside the room,
not outside)
Musical styles are generally not loud
Budget is adequate, but I'd rather spend the money other ways
I have read Accoustics 101, but I don't know how much is enough.

Do you remember being told to leave the porch light on for one special evening in winter each year while mothers made their march? How about the cards that held inserts for dimes�? Or not being able to go in swimming one summer? The sugar cubes with pink dots? Or the terrible sounding apparatus known as the �iron lung?�
EDITOR�S NOTE: This is the first of three articles on polio which almost reached epidemic proportions in the early 1950s.
Do you remember being told to leave the porch light on for one special evening in winter each year while mothers made their march? How about the cards that held inserts for dimes�? Or not being able to go in swimming one summer? The sugar cubes with pink dots? Or the terrible sounding apparatus known as the �iron lung?�
These were all part of the fight against polio, the dreaded childhood disease of the 20th century. This fight was waged by people from all over the country and was won through folks working together to conquer this menace without government intervention.
Although polio existed for centuries, the disease did not appear in this country until the late 1800s. Cases of paralyzed children and adults slowly began to show up during the summer months.
Poliomyelitis (polio or infantile paralysis) was an acute viral infectious disease spread from person to person, primarily by the fecal-oral route. Different types of polio existed with spinal polio, the most common form, characterized by paralysis that most often involved the legs. Other types were Bulbar, which led to weakness of muscles, and bulbospinal, a combination of bulbar and spinal paralysis.
Early symptoms of paralytic polio included high fever, headache, stiffness in the back and neck, weakness of various muscles, sensitivity to touch, difficulty swallowing, muscle pain, loss of reflexes, irritability, constipation and difficulty urinating.
Paralysis usually developed one to 10 days after the early symptoms began. It progressed for two or three days and was generally complete by the time the fever broke.
First mention of polio came in the Panama City Idol in July 1916 when an article from the U.S. Health Service reported infantile paralysis as a disease of recent origin. A polio epidemic hit New York City that year. Sporadic cases had appeared in the U.S. for many years, but it was the teen years of the 1900s when the disease really made its appearance. The outbreak in New York awakened residents of other states and towns.
People were urged to eliminate the common drinking cup. They were to maintain rigid cleanliness of glasses, to keep streets and yards clean and to guard against consuming food that was spoiled. They were also to summon a physician at once and immediately notify the health officer of the presence of this disease.
Those suffering from polio were to be separated from others and kept in a well-ventilated and screened sick room. Nasal secretions were to be inserted in a bag or cloth so it could be burned. Their clothing and bed linens were to be disinfected as for typhoid fever by boiling in 5 percent carbolic acid. Quarantine of individuals was to be maintained from six to eight weeks.
By October 1927, the disease of terrifying extent seemed to be creeping down to the Southern states. One of the oddities of this disease was that it was found more often in small towns and rural areas than in big cities.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt contracted polio in 1921 and was paralyzed from the waist down. On Jan. 31, 1934, friends of Roosevelt held their first �birthday bash,� celebrating his birth on Jan. 30, 1882. From then on birthday bashes were held on the same date each year. Panama City celebrated its first bash in 1935 �to wipe the disease from the face of the earth.� The purpose was to raise money for the fight against polio and to care for those locally suffering from the sickness. Seventy percent of the funds raised were distributed locally and 30 percent went for research.
In 1938, President Roosevelt founded the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, better known as the March of Dimes. The name came from Vaudevillian Eddie Cantor who changed the newsreel series, the March of Time, to the March of Dimes.
That same year, 17 boys from Georgia were sent to camp in Miami and became ill. They were placed under quarantine. Special police were called out by city commissioners to guard these youths from mixing with anyone else.
Dimes Pour In
In 1939, thousands of dimes deluged the White House on Jan. 30. Small cards with holders for 10 dimes had been given out at luncheons, socials, fraternal meetings, offices, factories, stores, schools, and other places. These filled cards were mailed to the White House. That year 600,000 suffered from polio in the U.S.
Certain years seemed to be worst than others, with 1941 one of those years, followed by 1942. The Bay County Chapter of Infantile Paralysis was founded in November 1941. Its purpose was to aid the needy infantile paralysis sufferers in the county, regardless of age. During epidemics the chapter supplied splints and frames which minimized the crippling after effects with polio. Scientists and physicians had been working on a satisfactory vaccine against the disease for years. Dr. John A. Kolmer of Philadelphia developed one treatment in 1935. He emphasized the fact that polio came from a virus and not from bacteria. He worked 10 years on developing an inoculation in which -24 little brown monkeys from India� were put to death each week to make the vaccine. Kolmer took the treatment himself: Then he used it to inoculate several hundred children each month to increase their immunity against polio.
As WWII wound down, W.C. Sherman became campaign director for the annual appeal of the March of Dimes on Jan. 14, 1945. Later on March 30, a Polio Ball was held at the Dixie Sherman by the Pilot Club from nine-to midnight with tickets $1 apiece. Bud Davis announced that his theaters collected $800 during the first two days of the polio drive.
In 1946, a wave of hysteria swept the Southeast reminiscent of the yellow fever epidemics of years earlier. North Carolina and Georgia invoked quarantines against visitors from Florida. Travelers were told they faced two-week quarantines unless they traveled non-stop through those states.
The cause and spread of the disease still escaped researchers. They blamed flies and sewerage for carrying the disease, which they did, but the virus existed in sewerage only for a day. They deduced the breeding place seemed to be the human body.

Studious readers will remember that I moved to a new apartment only two months ago. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be - the basement leaked and I believe the house is riddled with mold and other environmental contaminants. Within two weeks of moving in, I was dealing with a constant headache, congestion, a burning throat, swollen glands, foggy headedness and fatigue. My Lyme and Babesia symptoms were flaring up, and I was starting to suffer anxiety attacks. I could barely function at work and had no energy left when I returned home at the end of the day. I finally resorted to spending as much time away as possible, housesitting for two weeks, camping for 5 days, and staying with friends for 2 1/2 weeks. Inevitably, after being away from the house for a few days, I would experience a total clearing of the additional symptoms. When I would go back, the symptoms would return. I knew I had to get out of that place for good; I've worked too hard the last 3 1/2 years to get to this point in my health, and I can't let my living situation drag me down. After negotiating with my landlord (and calling over the city inspector), I broke my lease and moved out. Now all my stuff is in storage and I'm staying out in the 'burbs with my aunt and uncle.
This experience has opened my eyes to the importance of having a safe place to call home. I dreaded going back there each day, knowing that it would make me feel sick. Although staying other places made me feel physically better, it wore on me emotionally. I yearned for quiet, for privacy, for my normal pattern of cooking dinner and working in my garden and being able to rest whenever and where ever I wanted. After being on the move for the better part of two months, I am worn down and feeling drained. My lack of pattern made it hard for me to eat the way I need to and stick to my rigorous and ever-changing schedule of medications and tinctures and supplements. This wore me down even further, and made me realize that no matter what I need to put my health first and do whatever I need to do to stick to my patterns.
I had always seen myself as someone with a strong gypsy streak, someone who is comfortable traveling and moving about, but I have realized that I need a space to call my own. Maybe that space could be a modern-day gypsy wagon, but I definitely need my own wagon and can't be solely reliant on the wagons of other people.

Asian stock markets rose Thursday, signaling approval of the U.S. central bank's message that it will keep interest rates at record lows despite recent signs of improvement in the world's biggest economy.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said at the end of a two-day policy meeting that the Fed won't alter its aggressive monetary easing — $85 billion in monthly bond purchases to push down borrowing costs — until it is convinced the economy's gains can be sustained.
Fed officials reinforced their plan to keep short-term interest rates at rock-bottom levels at least until unemployment falls to 6.5 percent. The current unemployment rate is 7.7 percent.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index surged 1.2 percent to 12,618.01 as the yen's decline continued to boost exporters. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.1 percent to 22,283.33. South Korea's Kospi added 0.1 percent to 1,960.39. But Australia's S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.3 percent to 4,951.90.
Traders, meanwhile, are still waiting to see how Cyprus will stave off bankruptcy after the country's government rejected a plan to contribute to a bailout package by seizing money from people's bank accounts.
Cyprus needs to come up with 5.8 billion euros ($7.5 billion) on its own in order to secure 10 billion euros in rescue loans from international creditors.
Officials on Wednesday pursued a new bailout strategy that could include a loan from ally Russia in exchange for natural gas leases and selling assets from its most troubled banks. Nearly a third of the deposits in Cyprus' banks are believed to be owned by Russians.
If Cyprus doesn't work out a way to get the money it needs, the banks could fail and fuel financial chaos that could eventually cause the country to leave the euro. That's a scenario European policymakers are fighting to avoid for fear that an exit by one may spell the eventual end of the currency union.
Benchmark oil for May delivery was down 6 cents to $93.44 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract for April rose 80 cents to settle at $92.96 on the Nymex on Wednesday.
In currencies, the euro rose to $1.2950 from $1.2943 late Wednesday in New York. The dollar rose to 96.01 from 95.89 yen.

Pacific University is an environmentally conscious school in Forest Grove, the 'burbs of Portland. It was founded around the time of the Gold Rush by the United Church of Christ, although it is no longer officially affiliated with the Church. Many of the buildings on Pacific's campus are LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), and the school is expanding its campus size and its green initiatives.
At Pacific University, nearly two-thirds of students (63%) choose to live on campus, but a sizeable minority have found some sweet nests of their own. Though Forest Grove is a small town, it offers more rental options than you may think. There's a wealth of apartment homes in the small towns nearby, and many, many listings in Portland, the largest city in Oregon. You can find anything from small studios to spacious 3-bedrooms. There are also condos and single-family homes up for rent, so don't write those out of your search. For tips and guides on the apartment hunting process, check out our blog posts.
In line with Pacific's efforts in community and environmental awareness, the town of Forest Grove is a very tight-knit and friendly neighborhood where residents are eco-friendly and welcome the initiatives put forth by the university. Some local hotspots include Maggie's Buns, serving delicious salads and wraps with lots of breakfast options, and Pizza Schmizza which is pretty self-explanatory. If you're looking for more nightlife and urban excitement, Portland is your best bet. Check out the Tri-Met bus system and the MAX light rail to get there without a car!

Working conditions at the plants that make many of our favorite consumer electronics have long been a subject of concern -- even for those manufacturers that contract with them.
Employees at Foxconn factories in China have committed suicide, jumping from buildings. Explosions have injured and even killed workers at plants run by Foxconn and another contact manufacturer, Pegatron. And pay has been often barely enough for Chinese workers to get make ends meet and send a bit home to their families.
Those issues came to a head after an exhaustive New York Times report on working conditions at Foxconn. Activists put increasing pressure on Foxconn and Apple, without a doubt the most high-profile gadget maker to be associated with the story this year since it contracts with Foxconn to make its iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Workers even rioted. The Fair Labor Association in March issued a report citing Foxconn for a number of work standards violations. Both Foxconn and Apple agreed to improve conditions, notably bumping pay for the hundreds of thousands of workers who create the gadgets. But workers' rights groups worry that as the spotlight fades, working conditions will deteriorate again.
Perhaps in part as a result of the backlash surrounding this issue, Apple CEO Tim Cook recently said the company is moving some of its Mac production to the U.S.
For more on this story, see Jay Greene's in-depth report from Foxconn's factories in China.

Order at the Expense of Disorder
It's true, Japanese trains are punctual to a fault, streets are clean, and violent crime is so rare it makes national news. While this may be all well and good to the Japanese, as an American, I was crying out for a little chaos from time to time! In a way, living in Japan was like living inside the mind of someone with OCD: everything had its place, every person a set of phrases to use for every occasion, and if anything should go wrong, it's immediately quarantined and shunned by society (Brave New World, anyone?). Don't get me wrong, these qualities make Japan a very comfortable and desirable place to live. But I remember what it was like leaving and stepping foot on Thai soil for the first time - roads without clear lane markers and dirt spilling over; people dressed sloppily and eating on the streets - and thinking "YES! Finally! Something different!"
One of the first experiences I blogged about in Japan was seeing how a cake was wrapped for take out at a bakery.
...she unleashed her fury on the small black confectionary by trying to suffocate it: first came the plastic covering; then two disposable ice packs; a small plastic fork; a thin cardboard box; a paper bag, designed to fit perfectly over the carboard box; and finally, the coup de gras, a plastic bag with handles. All this for a slice of chocolate cake, half the size of one I'd expect back home for the same price. On top of that, I planned to eat it immediately. Waste upon waste upon waste.As an American, I see frivolous uses of packaging and resources almost continuously: taking too many napkins, eating too much food or throwing it out (not composting). Japan has its own ways of showing it cares nothing about the environment, from the example above, to its standards on fresh food - bento boxes are tossed out on a daily basis - to using concrete surpluses to pave over rivers.
Sexual Immaturity
I know this is somewhat of a controversial topic, but there are too many examples to just ignore it. Although many Japanese by and large maintain a healthier attitude towards sex than those residing in dominantly Christian nations, the types of sexual deviants make me shutter:
- Tentacle rape
- Schoolgirl fetishes (fake picture)
- Love pillows
- Used panties in vending machines
- Mainstream porn that includes rape and abuse
If these were simply minute interest groups, as small as those interested in something sick like snuff films, I probably wouldn't be concerned. But a lot of Japanese men seem to have explored the above in one way or another. There are more cheap tickets to places in Soapland than to cultural icons... well, maybe the district could be considered a part of Japanese culture.
Lack of Variety
I suppose this is a gripe unique to Americans, but there's such a lack of variety in Japan. Over 90% of the people are ethnically Japanese. It's difficult to find different cuisines with the exception of Japanese and fast food. Even people's behavior is "set": take a whole day to just sit in front of a train station and watch businessman interact; it's the same bow, same exchange of business cards, same phrases.
With the exception of Hokkaido, Japanese homes are often designed for summer, not the winter months. Mold can form on blankets and mattresses in the summertime, which are sometimes hung outside on a daily basis. Using heaters and humidifiers can be so expensive and ineffective that many people use just one room to stay warm (and not always the bedroom); personally, I think Koreans have it better off with floor heat.
Even in Tokyo, there's not exactly much in the way of urban design in Japan. Public "parks" outside of Yoyogi and the area surrounding Osaka Castle are just hard sand with no grass. Power lines remain unburied and clutter rooftops in all areas from Okayama to Okinawa. Very few buildings last longer than twenty years, and the grey box design is still very much in demand.

Editor�s note: This is the second of five stories to profile the nine dancing couples.
Save the date, buy your ticket for and cast your votes in Kinston�s version of Stars Dance for the Arts. This event, a spin-off of the TV Dancing with the Stars program, is coming in January to the Community Council for the Arts.
Nine local couples will showcase their dancing skills while promoting the art of ballroom dance. At the end of the evening, one couple will be named the 2013 champions of Stars Dance for the Arts. All proceeds will support a variety of community programs and activities sponsored by the arts center.
Tickets for the event are $50 per person and include heavy hors d�oeuvres, a cash bar and one vote at the event. Patrons can purchase tickets and sponsorships at the arts center or via Pay/Pal at dancekcc.com/vote. Sponsorships levels range from $2,500 to $100 and include various amenities at each level.
Voting is available now on the website and will continue until the last dance is performed on the night of the event. Vote for one or more couples as many times as you�d like for $10 per vote. Entering your email on the website will also allow you to monitor the votes for each couple and ensure that you receive the latest breaking news throughout the event.
Among the dancing couples competing are Jennifer Worsley and Dr. Jay Barker, who will be dancing the free-style.
Worsley is a native of La Grange and a graduate of North Lenoir High School. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in theater from ECU in 2012. After employment with Eli Lily Pharmaceuticals, she left the business world to become the dance instructor at Rochelle Middle School, a position she has held for the past three years.
She and her husband Joshua Worsley have 2-year old twins, Joshua and Jennay. Worley enjoys traveling, skating and spending quality time with her family, but her passions are dancing, singing and church activities. Excited about this event, she is looking forward to �dancing the night away,� knowing the proceeds will be used for the arts in the Kinston community.
Barker is a native of Wilson who earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and chemistry from Atlantic Christian College and a B.S. in medical technology from the Medical College of Virginia. He received a doctorate of osteopathic medicine from the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine, completing his residency in OB/GYN at the University of Illinois in 1984.
He established the Lenoir Women�s Care clinic where he practiced gynecology through 2012. He will begin a new adventure in 2013 as he works with the Part Human Services as a medical officer specializing in addictive medicine.
He and his wife Vickie � an instructor in the nursing program at Lenoir Community College � are the parents of Erin, Kaitlen and Andrew. His family is his �greatest joy in life.� In addition to his practice, Barker is active in St. Mary�s Episcopal Church and is an instructor with the Boy Scouts. He is also a senior instructor in martial arts and self-defense with the Stroud School of Martial Arts. In his spare time, he enjoys woodworking, kayaking, hiking and backpacking.
Another couple, Margaret Williams and James R. �Jim� Baker, will perform a quick-step.
Williams is a native of Duplin County and a graduate of Duplin High School, James Sprunt Community College and UNC-Wilmington. With degrees in business, she has worked in banking for the past 31 years. She is vice-president and a branch manager for the little bank.
A caregiver for her 92-year-old mother, Williams is also endeared to her brother�s three children who are almost like her own. An active Kinston career woman, she serves on numerous boards of directors, including the Kinston/Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce where she is vice-president for membership; Duplin General Hospital Foundation; James Sprunt Community College; Albertson Library; and Community Council for the Arts. Her interests include walking, shagging, reading and spending time at the beach.
Baker, a native of Virginia, is a retired banker and property manager. A graduate of Rutgers, he moved to this area two years ago and now considers his greatest joy in life his �new home in Kinston.� He attends Queen Street United Methodist Church and is on the board of directors of Frenchman�s Creek Townhouses.
His hobbies include music, gardening and decorating. In his spare time, he�s often found spending time with senior citizens. He is passionate about �Skins� football, seafood and his shared Min Pin (Miniature Pinscher), �Rick.�
While in Virginia, Jim participated in dance showcases � shows presented twice yearly to highlight the accomplishments of dancing students. He has more than 15 years of dancing experience and hopes his enthusiasm will generate more local interest in ballroom dancing.

Remembering the Golden Oldies: Bronstein & Geller
On the ChessCafe website, they've reposted a 1999 article by Lev Khariton celebrating David Bronstein's 75 birthday. Bronstein has since passed away, but he will, or at least should, be long remembered by chess fans. Those already familiar with Bronstein will enjoy the article, while those who aren't are even more strongly encouraged to have a look.
I also see on the ChessCafe website that Wednesday (as of this writing, that's today for some of you, tomorrow for the rest of us) would have been Efim Geller's 86th birthday. Like Bronstein, he was one of the absolutely greatest players never to become world champion. How great was Geller? He played more than two hundred games with world champions from Euwe to Kasparov, and had an overall plus score. If you're not familiar with Geller, then have a look at his Wikipedia page and check out the games and links.

After way too many nights spent passing out on the couch to the dulcet tones of cable news blaring, we wanted to touch on today's historic context without veering anywhere close to current events.
With visions of natty forefathers in mind, we Googled 'stylish presidents'—and promptly discovered that Marisa Zupan, a member of the rare and special breed known as menswear bloggers of the female persuasion, already obliterated this very subject with wit and tenacity over a year ago.
With an entry for every one of our 44 past Commanders in Chief—and succinctly hilarious yet insightful captions alluding to menswear minutiae like epic whiskers, rounded collars and floppy bow ties—Zupan's post is unimpeachable. The best we can do here is preview a few of our favorite photos, and tell you to read the real thing.
While you're at it, be sure to catch up on the rest

A little game of Hide-and-Seek ensued yesterday morning at Cooper Union by it's Board members. Just like the last minute plans by Obama to move G-8 talks to Camp David last year fearing confrontation with the people it is supposed to be serving, the Cooper Union Board decided to change location of their meeting to an off-site undisclosed location, avoiding the presence of students, faculty, and community members.
Why hide? In yesterdays meeting the board was to decide the fate of free education at Cooper Union. News is now coming out from undisclosed "sources" that the Board decided to put the onus on the faculty of Art, Engineering, and Architecture, forcing them to find sustainable ways of funding the program. But some like the Cooper Union Student Action Group are suggesting the faculty was threatened by holding back fall admissions. Ironically the current ideas for keeping education free at Cooper Union is to charge others for education – like charging for a pre-college program, undergrad summer program, and MA program. Let's see what else they come up with, until then back to the drawing board.

To be able to get up is one of the most basic human needs. It is good for the muscles as well as the skeleton and the general well-being. When the strength is not quite sufficient, a sit-to-stand lift can be a good alternative for training or transfers.
New Sabina 200 is a sit-to-stand lift. Just like our popular Sabina II, its raising motion has the anchor point close to the patient. This provides for safe, secure and comfortable raising.
Several different sit-to-stand vests can be used with Sabina 200, so that lifting can be adapted to the patient's needs. Furthermore, the lift offers several settings, in order to enable the most comfortable and smooth lift possible. For instance, the lift mast can be set to three different heights.
Sabina is used for standing practice or for transfers from sitting to sitting, for instance, from a bed to a chair or for hygiene transfers.
For those who want even more adaptation possibilities, and also want to use the lift for common sit-to-sit lifting, we offer big sister Sabina II
Max. Load: 160 kg (350 lbs.)
Ergonomic and comfortable raising motion
Please contact your representative for access to service manuals, inspection protocols, etc.
From the very beginning consideration for those for whom we develop our products has been our most important guiding-star. Our concept reflects our vision in our daily activity - always to improve life quality for patients and caregivers globally.
