On Equal Pay Day, key facts about the gender pay gap
Today marks "Equal Pay Day," the date that symbolizes how far into the new year the average American woman would have to work to earn what the average American man did in the previous year. With a new executive order issued today, President Obama and Democrats are hoping to peg the gender wage gap as a major issue ahead of the 2014 elections. This week, Senate Democrats also plan to again bring forward the proposed "Paycheck Fairness Act," a bill that aims to eliminate the pay gap between female and male employees.
Both men and women see a need for moves such as this – 72% of women and 61% of men said "this country needs to continue making changes to give men and women equality in the workplace," according to a Pew Research Center survey last fall.
According to the White House, full-time working women earn 77% of what their male counterparts earn. This means that women have to work approximately 60 extra days, or about three months, to earn what men did by the end of the previous year. However, our own estimate, which is based on hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers, finds women earn 84 percent of what men earn. Based on our estimate, it would take approximately 40 days, or until the end of February for women to earn what men had by the end of last year.
But for young women, the wage gap is even smaller – at 93 percent – meaning they caught up to their same-aged male counterparts by roughly the last week in January of this year.
As our video explains, the estimated 16-cent pay gap today has narrowed from 36 cents in 1980. Back then, the average woman would have had to work approximately 90 days, roughly into the beginning of May, in order to catch up with men's earnings from the year before.
In spite of its narrowing, the gender pay gap persists. Why is this? In our survey, women were more likely to say they had taken career interruptions to care for their family. And research has shown that these types of interruptions can have an impact on long-term earnings. Roughly four-in-ten mothers say they have taken a significant amount of time off from work (39%) or reduced their work hours (42%) to care for a child or other family member. Roughly a quarter (27%) say they have quit work altogether to take care of these familial responsibilities. (Fewer men say the same. For example, just 24% of fathers say they have taken a significant amount of time off to care for a child or other family member.)
Even though women have increased their presence in higher-paying jobs traditionally dominated by men, such as professional and managerial positions, women as a whole continue to work in lower-paying occupations than men do. And some part of the pay gap may also be due to gender discrimination –women are about twice as likely as men to say they had been discriminated against at work because of their gender (18% vs. 10%).

I was just offered a professional position at 18% less than the man who recently held the job was making when he started 2 years ago. My credentials are better and I was recruited to the position. In addition, the man had full benefits, and if I take the job, I will not have health insurance benefits. At 50 years of age, with 20 years in this profession, and a good 15-20 good years in me, this is appalling.
"Roughly four-in-ten mothers say they have taken a significant amount of time off from work (39%) or reduced their work hours (42%) to care for a child or other family member.

So apparently women are earn less because they've worked less
If that were the case, and that's make or break for a woman, you wouldn't want to be with her, anyway. I never sought a man based on his income and though some do, there are plenty that don't.
Many reasons for gender pay gap.
Women will always seek men who earn more money than them when it comes to finding a partner. If we get equal pay a lot of men will become disqualified for the woman and end up alone. I really feel uneasy about that.
If there were any truth to this very distorted claim, women would trend towards jobs that are commission-based. I'm a supporter of Obama and I like Maddow, but this is the most dishonest statistic being (mis-) quoted by both of them, and others.
great article. thanks for sharing. aware.
Well no, there is no "pay gap". This has been disproven time and time again, a company would be sued for discrimination if it paid a male higher than a female for the same job. The fallacy in this whole argument for pay gap is that it simply compares the average earnings of all women, against the average earnings of all men, and we arrive at the "women earn 77 cents for every dollar men earn, therefore discrimination and patriarchy" lies.
If you account for:
A. the time women take off work for maternity leave or to raise children, or stay at home mothers.
B. the higher portion of women who work part time or casual compared to men, who have more full time workers.
C. the different career choices men and women make which lead them to higher or lower paying industries, eg. men are more likely to go into STEM fields, whereas women are more likely to go into say education or nursing.
the so called "wage gap" is nullified and essentially 100% accounted for, instead of promoting the spread of lies that are detrimental to society as a whole, please do some of your own research instead of taking misleading articles written by idiots and/or feminists as truth without looking into it.
What i do not realize is in fact how you are not actually much more well-preferred than you may be now. You are very intelligent. You know therefore significantly in relation to this subject, produced me in my view consider it from numerous numerous angles. Its like women and men are not involved until it is something to do with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs great. Always maintain it up!
Yup! Can you agree more? So unfair! Men get more pay than woman? That's just ding-dong wrong!
And women work twice as hard ,receiving even less pay. Demoralizing, patronization of women make for desultory work environment. Wells Fargo did not promote women
in 1969-70 when I worked For them.
Seriously? Women work twice as hard?
Eileen, is the gap 23% or 2-5%? Comparing similar jobs and experiences, it seems 2-5% is more plausible. I mean, how can any company survive paying their workers 23% premium over others of same ability?
Where are the direct results. Like, same job, same experience, same hours, same production, same ability, same skill, and same knowledge. If all things are equal then yes, the pay should be equal no matter what sex, race, or age. I believe when all things are considered, pay is equal.
thanks Eileen! This is a very interesting and well researched study. But I'm concerned about two things.
First, the "quick glance graphic" associated with the video broadcastsan immediate message: "Hey! things aren't so bad!". Women have narrowed the gap till it almost seems to disappear. Only when you look further do you find that the gap is much broader when looked at in depth. This is great research! But the small font "there is more to the story" is not going to lead many people into it. Worse, given how quickly everyone moves through the internet, grabbing and keeping first impressions, this article seems likely to have an over-all negative impact simply simply due to the choice of graphic. Please consider changing it.
Second, what do you mean by "male counterparts"? do you mean that in a job-by-job comparison, as they move up the ladder women make less and less? Or is it a simple age-binned average, where the pay numbers suffer in later years primarily from women not reaching the same rung in the ladder? Both are a shame, but deciphering what drives the numbers is important in trying to find the best way to fix it.
Eileen – assuming that a portion of the pay gap is due to discrimination, the implication is that men making pay decisions are the cause. Can you look at the data comparing pay differences for companies run by women or woman owned businesses? The gap should be measurably less between women and men for those companies.
For all the reasons given for why women make less than men, I never see anyone talk about biological ability except for in the context of physical strenght. Isn't it completely possible that the male human brain is more logical than the female human brain? It is a scientific fact that in male human infants, testosterone fundamentally changes their brain to be different from the female baseline unchanged human brain.
Also, the article says that younger women have closed the wage gap making 93% of men. Couldn't this be due to men giving the younger and more attractive women a better position and pay? It may have nothing to do with ability, but instead be all about sexual dynamics. Those younger women shouldn't count on that advantage always being there for them. If we factor out the young women, then the pay gap actually increases to around 60%. Meaning that women are only capable of being 60% as productive as a man.
And that doesn't include all the high paying bureaucratic government desk jobs that are mainly filled by women. At the end of the day, we may find that women are only half as productive as men.
For some reason, we want to think that humans are the only creatures without gender differences that influence behavior and ability. Seems very unscientific to me.
What is missing here is recognition of misogyny. The comments here express an amazing amount of dislike, dismissal, and hatred of women by men. Too many men talk trash about women, especially in fields where there are few women. In those fields women will not be welcome and will experience daily insults and efforts to keep them down or get them out. It is called discrimination.
I agree!
I'm sorry that the Pew Research Center is damaging their credibility by regurgitating this half-century old myth about unequal pay.
Go to the Department of Labor and look at the way they compile wages. The only criteria they use to compile full time wages is whether the person is male or female. That's just fine for feminists and politicians who want the female vote because this method shows that women make 23% less than men.
But this is both inaccurate and unethical. Well, to be frank it's a darned lie. Comparing the aggregate income of a group of women to a group of men may show that women make less income per year but it does not show that women are being discriminated against or that they are making less money in the same job and working the same hours with the same experience.
In fact, when the 77% figure is controlled for type of job, number of hours worked each week, job experience, education, and job risk, the actual difference in wages drops to between 2 and 5%!
And those who have compiled this data say there is no evidence that even the 5% is caused by discrimination. In fact, given the independent and autonomous choices of women that have led to them making less it's entirely plausible that the remaining 5% is caused by other choices that have not been factored rather than some ethereal patriarchal discrimination.
What ideologues and their cowardly lackies like Pew Research also fail to address is why would anyone ever hire a man if they could pay women 77cents on the dollar and get the exact same work? What company wouldn't want to reduce their labor costs by 23%?
Feminists and other people who parrot this wage gap myth never address this problem because the only possible answer is that either women are not being discriminated against OR women aren't doing the same quality work as men.
Whichever you choose, both invalidate the wage gap myth.
My mother and I were discussing the differences as well… I nake a 60k salary a year with bonus potential upwards of 150k totalling anywhere between 60k and 210k… I am a supervisor in the oilfield. She makes a salary at 42k a year as an office manager in the oilfield. I work in the area of 100-140 hours a week, my mother 36. I have seen women in my field but few. I know the national average pay for my age is around 25k.
Could it be that most women choose the lower paying jobs for the "french benefits", being able to miss work for the kids. Im not saying all. But due to the law of averages if women on average makke 16 cents less than men, and say even 25 % have chosen to be moms not just mothers, women make more.
I think for reasearch purposes of the propseed executive and managerial position, both the males and females whom have chosen lower paying jobs should all be left out, then the comparisons should be based on a say 50 hour work week. I have a feeling we would find that men and women are paid equallly.
Economics says equis parrabellum or something like it. Means all the remain equal. For true comparisons measurement should be taken from exactly alike catagories where they is no side mathematics to make figures match or seem as they do.
One of the things not mentioned in the article is the difference in education, particularly with respect to those workers attending graduate school. With the average MBA class comprised of only 17% women, the pay gap is typically going to persist in fields where the degree is beneficial. A number of schools are reaching out to recruit more women, but are competing with life priorities of candidates at the 27-31 year typical age range of an MBA student.
The other concern is maternity or paternity leave impact. Recently, I noted than an employee out for 4 months on maternity leave, saw her responsibilities reduced when she returned. The reason was that her temporary replacement took the opportunity to shine in her absence and clearly outperformed her, while she was out on maternity leave. If the work place is a meritocracy than shouldn't the replacement get to keep the new responsibilities? From the perspective of the business, the improved performance is clearly welcomed. I think that whenever someone is away from their job long enough to require a temp, that they run the risk of this happening. If it makes any difference in this situation by the way the temp who stepped in and did a better job was another woman. However, the gender isn't the important piece, its the question of whether or not positions and roles can and should be guaranteed when someone leaves for an extended period of time including maternity or paternity leave.
Who the heck taught these people how long months are?
Case 1: "…work approximately 60 extra days, or about three months…"
Case 2: "…it would take approximately 40 days, or until the end of February…"
Case 3: "…had to work approximately 90 days, roughly into the beginning of May…"
Actual numbers. 1: 3 months is about 90 days. 2: The end of February is 31+28=59. 3: The beginning of May would be 31+28+31+30=120 days.
These are feminists friend. They make these numbers up.
There is a reason why women avoid STEM.
It's because you can't get the answer to complex mathematics by crying or blaming the patriarchy.
The math isn't wrong its based of a 5 day work week… so if you work 6 its less days.
I agree with Kathleen.
I wonder what happens to the wage data when comparable number of actual work-months is factored in? That is, if you were to compare women with 240 working months in their history to men with the same number, what would the wage difference be?
SSA has this data. I wonder if they have a way to aggregate it for researchers.
The point that a lot of people seem to be missing is that it is EQUAL pay for EQUAL work that women like myself are after. If two people of different genders have the same job, same work experience, work the same number of hours, and contribute the same amount, then why are women statistically paid less than men? It's great that the gap is decreasing, but the fact of the matter is it shouldn't exist at all.
At the same time I believe men should have paternity leave when they have a child, should not be penalized if they need to take time off to care for their family, and should not be passed up for promotions, raises, ect. if they prioritize their family over their job. The name of the game is equality. Neither women, men, nor minorities should be discriminated against in the workplace. Period.
O_O do you understand the problem at all?? Women are not paid less than men for equivalent work. A male security officer working ten hours makes the exact same wages that a female security officer does.
The problem being addressed here is that on average women's annual income is lower than the average man's because a higher number of women choose fields that pay less.
A woman working as a secretary is going to make less than an engineer who is making skyscrapers.
There is a real problem if a secretary who gets coffee and writes up memos, makes the same annual salary as the highly educated engineer who has to design and supervise the building of a multimillion dollar building.
This is called reality, stop making women out to be victims or we'll never be equal.
One of many things that needs to happen is that men should be allowed as much time off as women after their mates have had a child. Another is that women should be encouraged to go into higher paying fields. Also, employees should be allowed to compare pay without facing retaliation by employers. That way they'll be better able to detect pay discrepancies. Furthermore, the government could offer more childcare services to women so that caring for their children won't impact their jobs and careers as much. Things like this will reduce whatever the gender pay gap may be. It's not enough to say it's their own fault women earn less. Let's help them.
There has been equal pay in my work world since I entered it in 1972. First in the military and then in sales. I contend that it is the work field women chose that holds them back financially. When I sold furniture at the same time as my wife she outsold me every day. Consequently her pay was higher than mine. Professional positions will pay the same no matter the gender when all other factors are equal. Taking time off definately impacts earning potential.
Once again the government wishes to inject "fairness" through legislation instead of looking at reality. The chart in the article is quite encouraging in that younger women (at 93%) have received the message – get into professions that pay more and succeed. Success is the key, excel at what you do and the income will follow. My 36 year old daughter is an example of this.
This movement is nothing more than an attempt by the Democrats to inject another wedge issue into the 2014 mid-term elections, thereby countering some of the lost votes from the Obamacare debacle by garnishing a higher percentage of the female vote. This is why you see the 77% number coming out of the White House. They will skew the numbers any way they can every time.
I am glad Ms. Patten shares the facts with the charts and text and not just echo the administration's numbers. That is journalism and not propaganda.
An excellent article! You can find even more statistics on the reasons behind gender-based pay differences at work-equity.org. Women work significantly fewer hours than men, especially during the years between 25-40.
If there was an "Equal Work Day" in 2014, statistics show that it would fall on April 10!
Men and women do different jobs. For instance men do more dangerous jobs as they make up over 90% of workplace deaths and accidents. To take something like gross income and not examine the many variables that leads to an outcome is irresponsible
This doesn't explain why men and women are paid differently while doing the SAME JOB.
Maybe you missed the part about taking extended absences from their job for various reasons….this affects pay which is often increased by a small percentage each year…
Lots of women don't do this, and they *still* earn less. Many don't get these small increments each year either!
This is an incorrect conclusion from the facts:
"This week, Senate Democrats also plan to again bring forward the proposed "Paycheck Fairness Act," a bill that aims to eliminate the pay gap between female and male employees. Both men and women see a need for moves such as this – 72% of women and 61% of men said "this country needs to continue making changes to give men and women equality in the workplace," according to a Pew Research Center survey last fall."
The author has not shown that people approve of *this* particular method. People approve of equality in the workplace, but that doesn't mean unequal treatment if women are more likely to take time off to raise children. How would a women without children feel if her counterpart who took 5 years out of the workforce to raise kids got compensated the same despite different experience levels?
Excellent point!
"How would a women without children feel if her counterpart who took 5 years out of the workforce to raise kids got compensated the same despite different experience levels?" – I'm embarrassed to say that I'd never thought of it like that. I'd thought in terms of men staying versus women leaving for child rearing and returning to their careers. It's a fair point that NOT leaving the workforce is a choice women make too – and should be able to reasonably be expected to be better compensated for making.

Note: For WMU hockey score updates, text BRONCOS to 80373
SOUTH BEND (WKZO) -- The Western Michigan Broncos took the first of the two game matchup tonight over Notre Dame. The Broncos and Irish seemed to be at a standstill early but WMU found their groove in the second. The Irish did counter push in the 3rd period but came up short in the 3-2 Broncos win.
From the drop of the puck in the first period it was clear Western was up against a worthy opponent. Early on the Broncos had trouble gaining control of the puck and their dump and chase mentality was countered by the Irish poise and patience. WMU's defense was the main story of the first as they blocked several shots while shorthanded. Goaltender Frank Slubowski also made several great saves to keep WMU in the game, stopping all 10 shots faced in the period.
As the 2nd period began the Broncos came out with a high level of intensity. Their forecheck lead to a Dane Walters redirection goal following a turnover just 1:28 into the period. WMU kept up the forecheck which lead to a Broncos powerplay. Just seconds into the man advantage Walters netted his second goal of the game. Notre Dame finally countered the WMU agression with some big hits but were once again unable to find the back of the net due to the stellar performance of goalie Frank Slubowski.
In the 3rd the Irish seemed to come alive. Just 58 seconds into the period Notre Dame's Anders Lee scored bringing the Irish within one. The goal seemed to be a huge momentum change as the Irish were all over the ice. The momentum was shifted after a costly Irish penalty which led to another Broncos goal, this time by Balisy. Once again the Irish wouldn't go away and moments later scored a powerplay goal to pull within one. Notre Dame had scoring chance after scoring chance to finish the game but were unable to bury a rebound leading to the 3-2 Broncos victory.
Western and Notre Dame will play again Sunday at 5:05.

CHARLESTON. (AP) — West Virginia general revenues have rebounded, thanks to last month's deadline for income taxes.
April saw state government collect nearly $565 million. Officials were expecting $511 million.
results erased a $49 million revenue deficit for the budget year. With
that year ending June 30, the state began this month nearly $5 million
ahead of estimate.
Personal income taxes account for April's robust collections. Other key revenue sources were flat or below projection.
include severance taxes on coal, natural gas and other extracted
resources. Those were down slightly for the month. Officials say the
state's energy sector has stabilized after months of declining coal
production and falling natural gas prices.
But officials also still fear that tax revenues will miss the mark in both May and June.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Politics will be the subject of a new weekly program produced by 27 News which begins this Sunday, April 1st at 9:00 a.m.
27 News Capitol Bureau Chief Greg Neumann will host "Capitol City Sunday," which will feature interviews with local and state politicians, journalists and others talking about the important issues of the day in Wisconsin.
Our first edition features two of the Democrats running for Governor in the recall election.
Kathleen Falk, the former Dane County Executive joins Greg Neumann and 27 News anchor Greg Jeschke to talk about why she wants to run against Republican Governor Scott Walker.
"You know his extreme agenda, just isn't us in Wisconsin," Falk told us. "I can't stand back, like a million people couldn't, to see the cuts in education, cuts to health care, his rolling back environment laws and just a failure to create jobs."The other Kathleen in the race, State Senator Kathleen Vinehout (D-Alma), also joins us to discuss not only why she's running, but how she can match the television visibility of Falk and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
"At this point, I'm not sure that people are paying attention to those commercials and I do think that this state has a history of picking winners based on popularity or television commercials," said Sen. Vinehout.
Capitol City Sunday did extend an invitation to Governor Scott Walker to be on our premiere, but his campaign declined.
Secretary of State Doug La Follette has agreed to be on at a later date and we have already put out an invitation to Tom Barrett to join us in the coming weeks as well.

In fact, it is the basis for some relationships. Even when he realized he most likely violently raped Treena it wasn't a wake-up call. He was satisfied with the assumption that he was either drugged and then raped her or he never raped her and it was all staged. He never made the connection that deep down he knew rape was wrong and he should stop hurting women. Never occurred to him. WHAT?!
Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope some of you will be watching the Outrageous Fortune Christmas special even though it doesn't seem to be on tonight :(
Thanks paralauragram for the confession!

Washington • All three of Utah's Republican House members skipped Monday's inauguration, preferring to spend time with family back home.
Republican Sens. Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee and Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson did represent the state on the inaugural stage for the festivities that were largely ceremonial but historically important.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
In his defense for missing the big event, Rep. Jason Chaffetz noted the legal inauguration took place on Sunday, the day prescribed in the Constitution.
"I elected to skip the party and hoopla and not attend Monday's event," he wrote on Facebook. "I honor the Office of the President of the United States, but my presence is not needed."
Freshman Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, was flying to Washington during the morning gathering, which drew hundreds of thousands of people. And Rep. Rob Bishop's staff said he also missed the event.
A second try • Utah Democratic activist Weston Clark staked out his spot on the Capitol lawn by 5 a.m., a full six hours before the festivities began.
"I didn't want to have happen this year what happened last time," said Weston, the former chairman of the Salt Lake County Democrats. "I wanted to be here as early as possible."
In 2009, Weston was one of the thousands of people who got stuck in security lines and missed the moment when Obama became the first black president of the United States. The crowd surged forward when Obama began to speak and he worried that the masses might try to overtake the security stations.
"You could just feel a collective devastation," he said. "That was frustrating."
He eventually found a spot on the Mall to hear the tail end of his first inaugural address and still calls that 2009 trip "an amazing experience."
It also strengthened his resolve to see Obama's second inauguration, even if he did have to wake up early.
Sarah Waters, a Bountiful resident who made it through security at the 2009 inauguration, also perhaps overcompensated just in case she faced similar crowds, getting up at 3 a.m. and arriving at the Capitol before the gates opened at 5:30 a.m.
"We learned our lesson from last time," she said. "You could definitely say that."
Switching hats • Sen. Orrin Hatch was spotted wearing a bright white Stetson "Stallion" cowboy hat before and during the inauguration ceremony, while outgoing Interior Secretary Ken Salazar was pictured in a baseball cap featuring the Interior Department logo. Perhaps Hatch was filling in for Salazar, a former Colorado senator who wore his trademark white cowboy hat at Obama's 2009 inauguration and many public appearances.
Four years ago • Then-Sen. Bob Bennett got a prime speaking spot at Obama's first inauguration, introducing then-Associate Justice John Paul Stevens to give the oath to incoming Vice President Joe Biden. This time, Sen. Lamar Alexander offered a similar speech to Bennett's, talking about the peaceful way America elects and installs its leaders.
"We do this in a peaceful, orderly way," the Tennessee Republican said. "There is no mob, no coup, no insurrection. This is a moment when millions stop and watch."
Utahns up close • The jobs of three Utah natives brought them within yards of the president as he addressed the mammoth crowd.Next Page >

Rachel Leket-Mor
The current demand for appropriate entertaining titles in the Haredi community in Israel is reflected, among other things, in the growing movie industry led by Haredi producers and directors. This interesting sub-genre of popular Israeli cinema, consisting of male-only actors, is intended for the whole family. Therefore, not only these movies are approved as "G-rated" by rabbis, they are also sold in a CD-Rom format, since in many Haredi households computers are welcome as a work tool, while DVD players are not allowed for religious reasons. Main themes of this genre include, quite surprisingly, quite a lot of military stories (some of them describing adventures of Israeli Mossad agents), comedies, contemporary dramas with Haredi happy endings, Hassidic tales, historical documentaries, as well as "women movies" with moving stories and heartbreaking endings. This presentation discusses the significance of such movies in academic collections as authentic portrayals of Haredi culture in Israel
Rachel Leket-Mor has worked as a Hebrew editor with Israel publishers. She is Bibliographer of Religion, Philosophy, and Jewish Studies at Arizona State University. She gave this presentation at the Association of Jewish Libraries annual convention on June 23, 2008 in Cleveland, Ohio.

He's been the starter for each of U.Va.'s last four games, but in the first three games against Duke, Maryland and Wake Forest (all losses), he completed just 51 percent of his passes for 660 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions.
Last week, while playing six series in U.Va.'s 33-6 win at North Carolina State, he connected on 8 of 10 passes for 115 yards and a 38-yard touchdown to wide receiver and old high school teammate Tim Smith. Sims also had a 1-yard touchdown run…and one particularly gruesome wide-open drop in the end zone on a running back pass from Perry Jones, another former high school teammate.
"I heard about it," said Sims regarding the fact the drop was one of the lead stories and videos on the front page of Yahoo.com for a few hours after the game. "It's been all over the internet the last couple of days…It wasn't one of my proudest moments, but it happens.
"I still apologize to Perry for that. I apologized (Sunday) during meetings and stuff. Yeah, I think I'll be apologizing for a long time."
Had Sims and U.Va. (3-6, 1-4) worked on that particular play enough to get it down? Oh yeah…that's not an excuse.
"Every week this season since training camp besides last week in practice," Sims said. "I didn't run it last week, but every (other) week I've caught that pass and it's probably something I can do 99 out of 100 times."
Rocco played 10 series against N.C. State, completing 12 of 23 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. What caused London and the offensive coaching staff to decide to go with both quarterbacks? Both guys offer something that can help the team, according to London.
"Both guys have things that they do, different skill sets that they bring to the table," London said. "Michael is a guy that's been in the offense, knows the offense – Phillip has a strong arm and is kind of learning on the job, so to speak, and he has some skills himself that we like and can get the ball to some of the other playmakers.
"So, as practice went on and looking at the things that they do well and trying to game plan and fit plays that fit their skills whether it's based on arm strength or using the ball to run out of pocket scenarios with them, we just looked at it as here we have two guys that have done and have run the offense and they both bring something to the table for us. So, it was more of, 'Let's find the plays that they can do, and let's put a scheme together that can help benefit not only them, but the players that we're trying to surround them with - whether it's out of pocket, drop off, play action, the reads, those type of things."
Prior to the N.C. State game, London said one of Sims' biggest problems was getting his timing down with the receivers. It had been a struggle for Sims, who was still getting used to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor's pro style attack, which is predicated on timing routes and getting the ball to certain spots at just the right moment. It's a portion of the passing game Sims concentrated on during U.Va.'s off week.
"I think during the bye week I don't think it was specific drills," Sims said. "I think it was reps. Especially in a timing-based offense like ours, you have to have reps. Not only just reps within the offense, but reps with certain receivers. Everybody runs routes differently. No matter how you try to teach all your receivers to run routes with the same timing, the same yards, distance, everything like that, everybody runs routes a little distinctively.
"Just getting reps with different guys, seeing how different guys run routes when you don't necessarily have to worry about a defense that week, you don't have to game plan against anybody, it's pretty much just focusing on the little things that your team has to get better. I think that's what really helped me during the bye week. Just being able to hone in on the small things in our offense and not having to worry about an opponent that week. That's what really helped us. As far as the (N.C. State) game, the play-calling got me into a good rhythm – just quick passes to get the ball out of my hands real quick and get the guy the ball in space. It got me into a rhythm early and it just carried on throughout the game."
Sims said a month ago his dad was doing much better. His mom and dad have a chance to come to Charlottesville to see him play games, which obviously makes being at U.Va. a little sweeter for Sims.
As for the quarterback rotation, it's hard to imagine it sitting well with either quarterback, but Sims is playing the role of the good soldier. Whatever gets wins for a team that still needs to get three in its last three games just to get bowl-eligible is cool with him.
"Both of us have got to realize that the team comes first over any individual, no matter who you are," Sims said. "I think that's something we both realize and we're comfortable with. We'll do whatever we're asked to do."
As U.Va. pushes forward in pursuit of those three wins, it will do so with at least two of three players that were suspended last week for violations of team rules back in the fold. London said Monday linebacker Henry Coley and fullback LoVante' Battle, a Phoebus High graduate, are back in the good graces.
Coley, who was the starting strong-side linebacker for U.Va.'s first eight games before the suspension, is third on the depth chart at strong-side linebacker. Battle, who was a backup before the suspension, is the No. 3 fullback.
While Coley and Battle are back, London said backup tight end Jeremiah Mathis still has work to be done before his suspension is lifted. London confirmed Mathis is still on the team.
With Coley out, Phoebus High graduate Daquan Romero got the first start of his college career at N.C. State. Romero finished with six tackles and a positive grade after coaches had a chance to look at film, according to London.
Romero said Monday his father, Hugo, had the chance to see him play in college live for the first time at N.C. State. Hugo is a taxi cab driver in New York City, which was hit hard last week by Hurricane Sandy.
With less demand for cabs in the city in the aftermath of the storm, Hugo had the opportunity to come see his son play. Daquan didn't find out about his dad's plans to see him play until last Wednesday. I'll have more on this story later this week.
Romero remains atop the depth chart at strong-side linebacker for the Miami game, as does defensive end Eli Harold. Harold also got his first start along with fellow true freshman cornerback Maurice Canady at N.C. State.
Canady, who leads the team with two interceptions, is back to No. 2 at cornerback this week behind Drequan Hoskey. London said Canady, who had one of U.Va.'s three interceptions against N.C. State's Mike Glennon, started in place of Hoskey because Hoskey got his foot caught in the turf in practice early last week and had his knee become displaced.
Hoskey's knee improved throughout the week, but U.Va. elected to have Canady and Hoskey switch roles. So, against N.C. State, Canady started and Hoskey played Canady's normal role, which is the extra defensive back in the game when U.Va. goes to its nickel package.

Victim's mother and sister embrace convicted killer
Samiri Williams spent almost a dozen years in prison, convicted by a Petersburg jury for the 2001 murder of Terry Saunders. In September, Williams, 36, was released, and is now trying to find his way back into society as a convicted felon. Williams now finds comfort from a very unusual direction - the victim's mother and sister, who say they have embraced the convicted murderer as a member of their family.
To this day, Karla Saunders and her mother Gloria believe that Williams is innocent and did not kill their loved one and that police got the wrong man. They have produced neither evidence to support this conclusion, nor another suspect. But intuition and instinct can be a powerful factor. "You can tell by looking in somebody's eyes, you always see the truth," Karla Saunders said. "And the truth was in him. I had this feeling in my heart," she said.
Williams, who has always maintained his innocence, says that he has deep feelings for the Saunders family. "I love Karla like a sister," he said. "I give her hugs and I tell her that I love her."
But when fate first brought them together under the umbrella of tragedy, uniting two families forever, they did not know each other. Williams said that in early 2001, when Terry Saunders was shot and killed at age 29, he knew the victim superficially, but not his immediate family.
"His cousins and I were best friends, and that's how I first met him," Williams said, sitting at the living room table of his mother's Petersburg home. Five feet away on the couch sat Karla Saunders and her mother, Gloria, both clinging to a portrait photo of their dead relative.
"Then I moved into the same neighborhood in Blandford as Terry, and I worked down the street from his job at Pizza Hut in Hopewell. He started giving me a ride to work for a while," Williams said. Just a week or so before he was killed, they had a beer together, he said.
Williams doesn't deny that he saw Saunders on Jan. 17, 2001, the day of the murder. According to court records, he told police that he had gone to the Exxon gas station on the corner of Crater Road and East Washington Street with his three brothers to buy bread, two blunts and a six-pack of Guiness Stout.
It was around 8:20 p.m. when Williams saw Saunders pull up, get out of his car and use the pay phone outside the store. Williams told police that he waited around for Saunders, because he wanted to buy some weed from him and had $10 in his pocket to pay him.
But when he saw Saunders arguing with his girlfriend over the phone, Williams left, he told police. He said he got home before 9 p.m., got drunk and went to sleep.
Williams said that one of his brothers woke him up later that night and told him that someone had been shot at the gas station. "I didn't know who it was," he said. "I didn't know it was Terry until the next day, when a friend of mine at work showed me the newspaper and asked if I know this guy."
Saddened by the news, Williams said he bought a teddy bear and put it on the pay phone where Saunders was killed. "After that, I went back to my normal activities, I went to work every day," he said.
But several witnesses later identified Williams as the killer. In court, these witnesses testified that at around 9 p.m., the killer walked up to Saunders, who was still on the pay phone, and shot him once. After he was shot, Saunders stumbled into the store, where he collapsed and died.
Autopsy reports show that Saunders was hit once in the torso by a medium caliber, semi-jacketed hollow-point bullet. The damage caused by the bullet, which was later recovered from the body, was fatal.
Williams was arrested almost five months later, on May 8, 2001, at 4:30 a.m.
"They knocked the door down, threw me in the back of the patty wagon and took me to jail," he remembered. "When they told me what this was about, I was like 'What in the world?' I was in shock," he said. "I called my mom and asked her what is going on. I was getting ready to work that same day."
Williams said that at the time he believed this all to be a misunderstanding. "I thought I was going to be OK. I had never owned a gun. I had an alibi. I was at my mom's house. I had worked that day, came home and drank some beers with my brothers, then I fell asleep on my mother's bed," he said.
But police and prosecutors believed the witnesses. Williams was charged with first-degree murder and possession of a firearm in the commission of murder - charges that carry a life sentence, if convicted.
Williams claims that he had been mistaken for somebody else and that the witnesses were not reliable because they were drug addicts and may have made a deal with prosecutors. Court records show he told police that he saw at least one "brown skin [sic] female crack head" standing across the street while he was at the gas station. He said he also saw two male "crack heads" there.
On Jan. 15, 2002, almost one year to the day that Saunders was killed, a jury found Williams guilty of second-degree murder and the firearm charge. They recommended the minimum sentence of 10 years for murder and three years for the additional charge.
"I was trying to fight it," Williams said. "I appealed it, I did everything. I didn't want to beat it on a technicality, I wanted the truth to come out," he said.
The appeal was denied - the commonwealth closed the case.
Williams, father of two little boys, 6 and 1 years old, went into Virginia's prison system for the murder of Saunders, father of a 12-year-old girl. For the victim's family, the conviction could have brought closure.
But it didn't.
At first, all that Karla and Gloria Saunders wanted from police was to find the killer of their brother and son. "We tried to find out what happened," Karla Saunders said. "I was at the police station day in and day out. I believe that the detective wanted to get me out of his face and close this case. He wanted a conviction," she said.
One day, the detective called Karla Saunders. "He said 'I got your boy," she said. "Just like that, and he asked me to come down to the station."
But Saunders and her mother weren't convinced that police had the right guy. "Samiri didn't do that, I believe it so deep in my heart," Saunders said. "The same thing that he is saying now, he said years ago. His words have never changed. He wanted to clear his name and prove that he did not do this," she said. "And my mother is on the same page."
But not everyone in the Saunders family is convinced Williams is innocent.
Yet, Karla Saunders believes that her dead brother would agree with her that Williams was not the gunman. "I think Terry would appreciate and love me for what I am doing. I can't help how other people feel about this, but Samiri has always said the same thing," she said.
In 2004 - Williams had been in prison for two years - the Saunders family first went to visit the man convicted of killing their son and brother after Williams' father had reached out to them. Several meetings followed, the relationship deepened. Karla and Gloria Saunders soon considered Williams a victim, just as Terry had been a victim. They directed their anger towards the system that had charged and convicted him.
"They just wanted to find somebody the easy way. They didn't want to put in the work to find the real person," Karla Saunders said.
Bernice Sharpe, former senior assistant commonwealth's attorney in Petersburg and now assistant commonwealth's attorney in Chesterfield County, prosecuted the case against Williams. Almost 11 years after the trial, she maintains that the case was solid.
"We had at least two witnesses who wanted to buy drugs from Mr. Saunders. They were waiting for him to get off the phone and then saw him get shot," Sharpe said. "They recognized Mr. Williams, because people in Petersburg know each other."
Sharpe also said that she did not offer her witnesses any deals. "We believed that we had the proper suspect, or we would not have moved forward with prosecuting Mr. Williams," she said. "Not only the prosecution was convinced by the evidence, but also the jury," Sharpe added.
Having served his time, Williams also knows that there is little he can do to clear his name. Instead, he now focuses on putting his life back together outside of prison.
"I'm having a hard time adjusting," Williams said. "I can't relate to people. Technology has changed. I used to be a real fun loving person, but I'm not like that anymore. It's hard to get a job. And I got children to take care of. I missed their whole lives. I feel anger, but I don't know who to direct it to," he said.
But William knows that he is still better off than Saunders. "I can go out on the street and go to the store, but Terry can't," he said, sobbing. "His life got taken, but mine did, too."
Williams' mother, Emma, and also Karla and Gloria Saunders are now there to support Williams or to simply offer a shoulder to cry on. "We talk all the time," he said. "Sometimes, Karla and I don't even talk about [what happened]. We talk about other stuff, like friends do. Her mother wrote me one day and said 'You're my son,'" he said.
"We have conversations, we laugh and we joke, we cry together," Karla Saunders said.
Sharpe, the prosecutor who got Williams convicted, said that such bonding between a convicted murderer and his victim's relatives is unusual, but can be a good thing for all involved. "We're delighted that there's a healing between the defendant and the victim's family," she said.
Karla Saunders still has hope that one day, her brother's real killer will be found. "We might never go back into the courthouse, but I can tell you this - judgment day is coming," she said. "I may not know who you are, but God knows. I truly believe that," she said.
Both families agree that Terry Saunders, murdered in 2001, has united them forever. "This is always gonna be a part of us," Williams said. "And regardless of if we hate each other or love each other, we are gonna be bonding. That is the situation."

Interview with Paras Loomba, GHE Coordinator
Oli Wheeldon, GHE Communications and Media Manager had a moment to sit down with Paras Loomba, GHE Coordinator and ask a few questions before departure.
Oli: How do you feel after the long awaited inauguration of the Ladakh E-base.
Paras: I feel really good, originally the inauguration was just a date, but having Robert Swan here made it seem like so much more, it was so good t see so much excitement and interaction on even just the first day, I know that this e-base's first year will rock! I hope this e-base will act as a benchmark for future e-base projects. One of the things I am happiest about is what this project means, the whole of GHE, after being inspired in Antarctica I wanted to make an E-Base. I did my research and now it is standing there, it is such a fantastic feeling to know that anyone can do this.
Oli: So why Leh, Ladakh, India?
Paras: Leh is one many places in the world that is under threat from climate change, but has very little contact or resources from the rest of the world. After the mudslide three years ago that killed so many people which was caused by climate change. When so many people are affected so badly and they had nothing to do with the cause, it was clear that the 3rd Pole was the perfect place for an E-Base. I hope for this e-base to act as a window to the rest of the world, not only for educational purposes, but sometimes when people are faced with such harsh environments they need an escape.
Oli: Speaking of escape, how are you feling about the trek starting tomorrow?
Paras : Excited, with just the right amount of concern! Obviouslywe have done the trek before, but this is the first time taking the team members as this is the first ever Global Himalayan Expedition! However the route is incredible, the team is great and the activities are awesome. Cycling, hiking and rafting. It will be difficult but when people finish it the feeling will be so good and not even the yaks will keep them up at night.

Several coyote sightings this week have neighbors who live in Cleveland's eastern suburbs concerned.
One man, who has 4 daughters came face to face this week with a pack right in his own driveway.
"Five of them right here," said a concerned resident.
Encounters like that seem to be on the rise and the area's game warden knows why, "Coyotes have lost their fear of us so we need to reestablish that fear with noise."
Monday coyotes reportedly attacked a dog in a Pepper Pike neighborhood.
The coyotes reportedly seen in the area coming right up to the houses are described as large animals, bigger than the average 30 or 40 pound coyote. At this time of year, coyotes are raising their young and can be extremely defensive.
The warden recommends people stay alert and remove all coyote food sources from around the house like bird feeders and garbage cans also keep a close eye on small pets and an even closer eye on children.
