The Best Home Project Store in the World? BHV!
- Location: Paris, France and online
- Website: bhv.fr
Store History
BHV stands for Bazar de l'Hotel de Ville. It's located across from the Hotel de Ville and is the second oldest department store in Paris. The store has seemingly everything, from clothing, toys and perfume to furniture, books and crepe pans.
Yesterday I was in Paris, which on its own is pretty fantastic. To make it even more memorable, I spent the afternoon at what I now consider to be, without a doubt, one of the greatest stores for DIY home designers and decorators ever. I'd read about it before and thought of it like some mythical decor nirvana, but nothing prepared me for the wonder that is located on the Rue de Rivoli — BHV. Here is a peek inside:
BHV stands for Bazar de l'Hôtel de Ville. It is located across from the Hôtel de Ville and is the second oldest department store in Paris. This store has seemingly everything, from clothing, toys and perfume to furniture, books and crepe pans, but it is the all encompassing home project "etages" (floors) that really pulled me in...
The basement "bricolage" section is an unbelievable treat for anyone who loves poking around in hardware stores (so, in other words, pretty much everyone). It includes just about anything and everything hardware related, all in one place. This is a true "you name it, they have it" one stop shop with amazing access for for urbanites, located in the heart of the city, with a metro stop (Hôtel de Ville) right there.
As I describe the bricolage etage, it could possibly sound like a Home Depot or something mundane like that, but it's not — the selection is vast. Instead of a small selection of choices in a huge space like a big box type retailer, this is a big selection in a relatively compact city store, which makes it both mesmerizing and jealous making. I would love to have a resource like this in Chicago.
Pictured above are just a few views of the myriad sections of the Bricolage: some surprisingly colorful tool belts, a really big selection of bells (?!?!), wooden feet and legs of all shapes and sizes, a castor-go-round, traditional (and plenty of not so traditional) house numbers, a wide range of colorful plexiglas, modern faucets, radiators, fireplace supplies. Keep in mind that these photos are just glimpses at small parts of each these sections; they go on and on.
After visiting the basement, I made my way up to the 4th etage for the home decor section which is essentially the mothership of DIY design project sources.
I really can't think of an equivalent shopping experience to this floor in the US. To access this array of project supplies here at home, I'd have to visit multiple specialty stores and most likely, do some shopping online, but, at BHV it's jampacked with the materials and supplies needed for just about any home decor project, all in one place. And again, just as on the hardware floor, its all about selection - instead of the choice of a few basic lampshade blanks, there are aisles of them in all shapes and sizes, same with curtain rods, and tassels and drawer pulls...its like the grownup decorators version of a candy store. Fabrics, wallpapers, paints, craft supplies, the list goes on and on and because it is all in one shop and right in front of you, it is easy to compare and coordinate and you can make informed choices about color and quality. And to make it even more all-encompassing, the price points seemed varied — I saw really basic and bargain priced materials right along with designer branded goods.
Following my afternoon spent wandering happily through the aisles all I have to say is 5 small words: Please, BHV, come to America!

I want to go now!! How great would that be to shop and poke around at a store like this. I will be sure to stop by next time when I am in Paris! :)
Impressive. Sure I don't have nothing like it or close
Oh! My! Do they ship? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the tool belts and fireplace tools in all those yummy colors!
I miss the BHV! That was my metro spot when I lived in Paris and one of the most FUN stores to visit. It's a goodie!
I want to go to there.
When I moved to Paris with absolutely no home things to speak of (I was 17) BHV was a the first place I went! I still have towels, cereal bowls and probably some other things from that wonderful, magical, has-everything-you-need store.
This place looks AMAZING! I can't even believe it exists! Oh how I wish they would come to the US :)
I was there a few years ago and was equally impressed. It's like a combination IKEA, Muji and Home Depot. Tokyo Hands in Japan is similar and even more vast. Best of all, at BHV you can go to the cafeteria floor and choose from an incredible array of delicious food to fill the belly after hours of shopping.
I'm always looking for an excuse to go to Paris - BHV is on my list. If only there were an equivalent playground in LA...
Oh my freakin' gosh!
It was definitely the place where I hung out during a recent visit to Paris. Quite conveniently the metro exit leads directly to the basement DIY department - and - mon dieu - formidable! A good walk-through for a bit of respite from rainy and cold Paris.
I think this must be what heaven looks like.
Ooh, la, la, the assortment of furniture legs alone gives me a thrill. I want to know the story on the colorful radiators. They look like the antique steam or water units I've had in some of my homes. Those in the photo above look as though they have electrical cords coming out of them. More info on these would be great! :o)
I am drooling and jealous!!
Wow! I'd disappear for days in that place!
I too want to go to there!
youngbloop - good eye! yes, they were electric space heaters designed like old fashioned steam radiators
Ditto - BHV, Please come to America!
Yes, BHV is where we go when we need a special screw, or a special plug, or a special piece of lamp (it used to be in the basement). And I used to be Parisian until one year ago, when I moved to L.A. Home Depot is not so bad for a Parisian like me, I just miss the knowledge of the sellers. However, if you go to the story where they sell paints for the walls in BHV, the Parisian sellers suck, very disappointing, I can tell you ! Did you try the Samaritaine ? Probably the oldest big store in Paris. I didn't go a lot, it has been renewed recently, but I have been told it is great now ("On trouve tout a la Samaritaine" !) However, for home improvement, I agree BHV is the best.
The only thing I really cannot find in the US, are the lampshade skeletons (I don't how we call that ?) I used to decorate lampshades myself, but I can't find these things here... Does someone can help me with that please ???

Oh SIIIGH. I made a bee-line for BHV as soon as I made it to Paris the first time. It's everything I've heard... and more.
There is a HILARIOUS description of this store in The Sweet Life in Paris by David Lebovitz.
WOW...this store is just amazing I got chills just looking at the photos! Another reason to plan a trip to Paris!
OMG! It's like the mothership is calling me home!
Sad news from www.bhv.fr *(translated)
"Orders placed on bhv.fr can be delivered in France, Corsica and Monaco and, in Belgium, Luxembourg and Andorra. Unfortunately, your orders no can be delivered in the overseas territories."
I admit, a place like this very awesome. But for me it doesn't beat my local architectural salvage warehouse.
I have lived here in Paris for nearly ten years, and BHV is pretty much the Go To shop for Parisians looking for tools and things for their DIY projects.
But I truly think that it doesn't hold a candle to the myriad of specialty shops available in anglophone countries - all the wonderful shops that you can find which are dedicated to one type of thing. For example - The Container Store? There is NOTHING like that here. We have to be content with a limited selection of stuff in BHV.
The second problem are the prices. They are above and beyond everything you would expect to pay for the same thing in an anglophone country, because you don't have any choice in the matter. It's not because it's Paris that it's expensive - it's because there's nothing else like it.
When I and my friends here need things for DIY projects, we'll find ourselves ordering online from overseas.
BHV is really pretty. The French know how to put displays out. Plus it's Paris. So YAY. But I don't think it's the best home project store in the world.
Excuse the cynicsm in my last comment. It IS an awesome shop, and I was just there this week. ;) It's just not the be all and end all.
I've been there, but clearly not on the right floors, because I couldn't find the mythical decorating section. Of course, my husband was hounding me to do things other than be in a department store, but the rest of the department store is not very exciting.
I love the BHV! I used to live down the street from this location. In one night i managed to get new circuit breakers and an Yves San Laurent belt for under 100 euros... If I had been more handy around the house I could have done so much DIY!
Oh no! You missed the cutest part of BHV: the "Bricolo Cafe", located on the basement too. It's very Harry Potter - I found this pic on flickr:
Now, I must plan a trip to BHV! Looks like I could spend a few days there! Please post more places like this!! I would love to know where these kinds of places are in different countries!
Another great place in Japan which seems to look similar is Joyful Honda. It is like IKEA, Home Depot, Michael's, and Target rolled into one place! It is SO FABULOUS!
I've been going to Paris every year for over 20 years and the BHV is one of the first stores. It's a great place to get stuff I need that I can't get at home.
went in a few years ago for the air conditioning. stayed for a few shellshocked hours of browsing.
Personally I would trade our BHV for all the choices you have the US. I miss Home depot!
wow never seen a home improvement store like that. i would probably DIY more if i had a resource like that nearby, instead i just end up frustrated looking for what i need
I am so glad this isn't in Philly. I'd spend all my time and money there... but my house would look awesome!
it's funny because i live in Paris so i really know well the BHV, but i dream of YOUR store ;-)!
It just looks amazing. Do they frown on people camping in the aisles?
Actually, the BHV was the worst place to go to for DIY project when I lived in Paris (am French, but moved to another city). However, it's just the best place ever for wallpaper and fabric. The rest seems awesome because you have no hardware store in Paris (where would you put it ?), so this is the only store for a whopping 8 million Parisiens. I don't miss that store for its tools.
But I sure miss the decoration section so much... I used to spend hours drooling on fabrics I could never afford. Now that we moved, I could afford them, but there is no other store like the one in Rivoli. So sad.
A must on each of my trips to Paris.
I'm in love. I must find a few days to go to Paris and visit BHV.
I got this great pillow with a silk-screened image of a Parisian rooftop on it there last year.
There were three in the window, but there were none on the sales floor. I managed to enlist the help of a customer service rep and they sold me one from the display. Love that place!!
Why can't that be here in Munich!! So, close and yet so far away.
I LOVE this place, last time I was in Paris I spent a whole day there!
This is one of the few places in Paris where you can find mostly everything for any random home project. Don't believe that you will be getting the best price, however. But, what choice do you have unless you have to time to run to 5 or 6 different stores all around Paris to find the equivalent.
There are things in your pics that I've been looking for!
Alright, there has to be someone on here with an entrepreneurial mind - PLEASE open a store here!
I haven't been there but it reminds me of Gracious Home in NYC. They have all sorts of hardware and are a combo of hardwear store, appliance store and home decoration store. Tons of knobs and radiator covers as screws and things and then also things like mailboxes, curtain rods and kitchen appliances and cleaning supplies. They also have georgeous sheets, some rugs and lamps and things. Very pricy but good quality items and a good selection and some very unique things and also the most basic things needed to run a home.
I love love LOVE this store. I was there in December and had to practice considerable restraint...
OMG I'm so glad you posted this. It's one of my favourite stores not only in Paris... Everywhere!!! There are no words to describe how rich and original their stock is. The prices have a very wide range and what I appreciate is the fact cheaper products are not of lesser quality or taste.
It looks so easy to have such a selection of such beautiful stuff. Why oh why can't American and Canadian retailers give us this?
Thanks for telling us about this, just in case we ever get to visit Paris. :)
If you want to spend days there I am sure you may even get a tent and squat there too...
Well sometimes I wonder why I left the place to live in Japan where the DIY is not ingrained and cost more than the finished product!
Looks great but I have to say if I were on vacation in Paris, the last thing I'd be thinking about are DIY projects.
BHV is my favorite store ever. The hardware selection is amazing and they have the widest selection of everything related to home and garden. Like casters - they don't just have one style, they have 20. Casters! I always want to be able to diy while I am there, just to be able to chose from the vast selection. My favorites are window and door hardware (knobs, hinges, beautiful old fashioned locks). Also cool - in the basement, they have french signage like address numbers, men's and women's restroom, beware of dog and no parking signs, cool little metal tags that hotels use for room numbers...great for souvenirs. They also have great shoe insoles!
c'est magnifique!
I'll be in Paris for a week the end of April, and will be sure to stop in and check BHV out. Thank you for the bright idea. Any other suggestions let me know.
Interesting... it seems like a bourgeois walmart.
Yes! BHV is like dying and going to DIY heaven. I bought from there one of the most important kitchen tools ever - my crepe roller/smoother, a must-have to make crepes that I have not seen it anywhere else.
i think i would have sensory overload and not be able to make a decision about anything!
This is un-freaking-believable!!! I think I'm actually drooling. Ok, now where can I drop my 2 little kids for a day when I am in Paris this summer so I can shop ;)?
I love Paris. This is just another reason for me to go this year. It's been too long! Where can we find those great heaters in the states?
I know this place. We stay just around the corner from it when we're in Paris. It is a fun shop to browse through.
Wow, looks great. I'm in Paris next month and I've added this to my "must see" list.
I live in Paris. One of the coolest things BHV ever did was, during the sales period (twice a year in France) sell Le Crueset cookware by the kilo. They just had a giant pile of pots and lids and you could combine what you wanted. I didn't have much money at the time - bought my very first piece then.
They do have everything. But know that 1) it's always packed; 2) in the winter they turn the heat up incredibly high so be prepared to carry your coat; and 3) they do have elevators - if you're in the hardware basement definitely follow the signs for 'ascenseur' or the elevator icon to go to the higher floors. The escalator takes forever!
Also there's a great chapter on BHV in 'Paris to the Moon' - more what it's like to live here and shop there. The joke is that that famous Doisneau photo of the couple kissing in front of the Hotel de Ville is because they managed to get out BHV alive (the crowds, ha ha).
Wish I had gone here instead of the Louvre : )
yet another reason to hope i can one day visit paris!
Tres magnifique! Je vais y aller prochaine fois que je suis à Paris ! Learning to speak French so that I can go back to Paris and shop 'til I drop. Will definitely make a stop at BHV.
There is also - in the middle of all that "bricolage" - a small pub/café with real rough wooden benches. As a young woman I never really dared to go in there and order something, but it must surely be the best place for all the "hardworking guys" out there. ;-)
perfection. when can we get one in the states? have been on the hunt for a lampshade, my refinished lamp stands naked without one!
You had me at plexiglass.
It looks like a professional decorator's wet dream...
I love the BHV, and go there every time I am in Paris. I love to go to the paint department and buy the small sized cans of paint in the wonderful colors you can only find there. I use the paint to customize vintage furniture finds that are even more special with their unique French tone.
Bliss....lock me in and throw away the key!
Wonderful photos! It takes me back to my year living in Paris and going to Parsons...we always went here to find unusal materials for art projects. I miss it!
Salivating! I sure wish I would have known about BHV when I was in Paris last summer.
Just a note, from a Californian who moved to Paris three years ago with nothing and has decorated/furnished an apartment from scratch: BHV is fantastic for many things, but sometimes the prices are significantly higher than other stores. Also, there actually ARE other Home Depot type stores IN Paris: Leroy Merlin & Castorama (not to be confused with horrible Conforama).
I have found BHV to be great for things like good quality paint (and yes, the staff in the paint department is awful) and wallpapers, specialty wood products (bamboo poles) and random projects that require odd little pieces. Their small appliances, plumbling supplies, kitchen supplies and bathroom furnishings are generally way overpriced - for those, I go to Leroy Merlin (it's near the Pompidou Center).
For little things that can be packed in a suitcase, there's some cool home decor/design shops near the Marché Enfants Rouges in the Marais and Lafayette Home (multiple floors in a modern space near the Printemps and the other Lafayette stores)
Oh, and Samaritaine has been closed since 2005.
BHV has excellent choice, a wide range of prices, and the worst staff ever. And both my brothers have worked there...

Journal Clerk
Room 1109
E-mail: email@example.com
Diane has worked for the Nevada Assembly since the 1999 Session. She began as a personal secretary to Assemblyman Nolan. In the 2001 Session, she worked for the Front Desk as the Recording Clerk. She has been the Assistant Chief Clerk for all or parts of four session and has also worked six special sessions. This will be her first session as the Journal Clerk.
Diane is married to Stan. She has one son, "RJ."
Assembly Front Desk
The Chief Clerk is elected by the legislative body to act as the Assembly's parliamentarian to assure the constitutional, statutory, and standing rules are followed in processing of legislation and to publish appropriate legislative journals and histories. The Assembly front desk is the contact point for all legislative measures and processes all legislation from the point of introduction to final passage.
The front desk is the support staff of the Assembly Chief Clerk and consists of the Assistant Chief Clerk, History Clerk, Journal Clerk, Media Clerk, Recording Clerk, and Document Clerk. The front desk processes all legislative measures in order to meet constitutional, statutory, joint and house rules required for the legal processing of legislative measures. Failure to meet these requirements could negate the action of the legislative body.
Journal Clerk
The Journal Clerk is an appointed attaché of the Assembly and is responsible for publishing the Assembly Journal, which is the official record of the proceedings of the Assembly. The Assembly Journal documents actions such as bills and resolutions passed or adopted, amendments presented, roll call votes, communications, and remarks from the floor. It is not a verbatim record of debate.
During legislative sessions, the Assembly Journal is printed daily and delivered on the next working day to the legislature, executive offices, and some state agencies. Requests for these deliveries are made by calling Publications (775-684-6835). Daily journals are provided to the public at no charge. However, mailings to constituents must be handled by the assemblyman's offices. The daily journal is also available on the Internet at http://www.leg.state.nv.us/.
The Chief Clerk's Office works with the Legislative Counsel Bureau to post and update actions taken on legislation considered in the Assembly. These actions can be found on the Legislative website or by calling the Chief Clerk's Office.
After adjournment sine die,
the Assembly Journal is prepared for publication in bound form.
This version of the journal, which is sometimes referred to as the
Final Journal, includes the daily proceedings, lists of Assembly
and Senate bills and resolutions, assemblyman's actions, a subject
index and the Joint and Standing Rules. The Final Journal comes
in a multi-volume set and can be anywhere from 3,000 to 8,000 pages long, beginning
to end. The cost of a set of journals is determined by the publishing

How I wish Sony would come clean, by providing a clean HDMI output for us video users of the NEX 5, NEX5N and NEX5R cameras. It's absolutely deceitful that the menu option for NO DISPLAY still leaves menu data littered all over the LCD screen and HDMI output. Also, the HDMI output seems to be far less resolution than 1080P, but I hope I'm utterly wrong about this.
The image won't fill my HDMI-connected monitor, while I'm shooting a bit of video!
NEX5R user, after returning the NEX5N back to the store. This one may be next, sadly.

Front Row Falcons
Today at 2PM the Springfield Falcons are back in action. This is turning out to be the most interesting Oilers farm team in many years and in so many ways.
Before the season began, I suggested that we should give each player a "line in the sand" in terms of reasonable expectations. That post is here.
If you make a group of bets on players to begin a season, there are four possible outcomes: covering the bet, failing to cover the bet while still delivering something useful, epic fail and injury. When I used to spend thousands of hours on rotoball it was always the same: the pitcher I bought for $1 would win 20 and the OF I purchased for $54 would pull a groin in April.
The surprising thing about this edition of the Springfield Falcons is that so many kids appear to be covering the bet and those that are not at least contribute on some level. Let's take a quick look at a "starting lineup":
- G Devan Dubnyk: We agreed that a .915SP for the season would be a solid year for the big man. Currently, after a blazing first half of November, DD sits at .925 and safely in the top 10 overall. He's facing 31.7 shots per 60 minutes and has a winning record (7-5-1) despite playing in front of a young blueline.
- D Theo Peckham: He is one of 3 players that I believe has a legit claim to being the organization's best prospect (Nash, Eberle) and he's delivering a nice season. Reasonable expectations were pegged before the season as "a more prominent role in the AHL with a better plus minus number and perhaps some powerplay time." He's been all that, his numbers are 12gp, 2-5-7 +2 which compares to 12gp, 3-2-5 -1 a year ago. Peckham has also increased his shot total (20-12 year over year) while still playing a very physical style (PIMs are 31-29 year over year). He was the first D called up this year.
- D Taylor Chorney: The most prominent of the AHL rookies Springfield features this season, Chorney has been high event (-6) in 08-09. His first month in pro hockey (8gp, 0-3-3, -5) was a struggle but in November the numbers show improvement (6gp, 0-2-2, -1). Before the season, the reasonable expectations were "a full, healthy season in the AHL, with a plus minus in the middle of the D pack and enough offense to justify his draft number." His plus minus is easily the worst on the team and he ranks 2nd among D in points. He has 3EV points and 2 on the PP.
- C Gilbert Brule: He's having a very nice start to the season despite the injury. His line in the sand before the season began was "a full AHL season in multiple roles, perhaps 10 games in the NHL." He may not spend time in the NHL because of his waiver situation, but his numbers in Springfield (9gp, 5-2-7 +5) are going to attract a lot of attention if he has some sustain.
- LW Slava Trukhno: After a terrific start (8gp, 1-6-7 +3) he's fallen off badly in November (6gp, 0-0-0 E) and I wonder about his icetime. With Brule back from injury, Trukhno seems to have been demoted to a lesser role. Before the season began, I suggested we should expect that he would "establish himself on the top 2lines and as a viable option on the 1st powerplay." I'd say he did in October, not so much in November.
- RW Colin McDonald: The Oilers keep talking offense in regard to McDonald, so I suggested that "if he gets to play with skilled men all season and a lot of PP time then 15-20 goals is reasonable. This is his time, though. If he struggles the Oilers have all kinds of options available." He started fairly well (2-2-4 in his first 10 games) but overall numbers (14g[. 2-2-4 -2) suggest he is what what thought he was and that Prendergast's scouts made a bad bet in 2003 on this guy.
One final item: shots. Some of these Oilers prospects appear to have a weird idea about why they're on the ice offensively. Below is a list of the top 10 Falcons scorers, their GP number and their shot total (and then by game). Swing the bat, kids!!!
- Ryan Potulny 45 shots/14 games (3.21)
- Liam Reddox 34 shots/12 games (2.83)
- Gilbert Brule 25 shots/9 games (2.78)
- Theo Peckham 20 shots/13 games (1.54)
- Colin McDonald 20 shots/14 games (1.43)
- Slava Trukhno 19 shots/14 games (1.36)
- Rob Schremp 16 shots/12 games (1.33)
- Carl Corazzini 17 shots/14 games (1.21)
- Tyler Spurgeon 15 shots/14 games (1.07)
- Taylor Chorney 12 shots/14 games (0.86)

What Our Current PhD Students Have to Say...
Home > School of Nursing > Testimonials
Esther Ampadu
Several years after graduating from Northeastern, I considered returning to my alma mater to pursue a PhD in Nursing. I was hesitant to return to school after a long break, and concerned about my ability to fulfill the obligations of the academic program and my family responsibilities at the same time. However, when I interviewed with the Program Director Elizabeth Howard, she looked at me and said: "You can do it." And, she was right. I am now in my second year, having successfully completed four courses. My research focus is adolescent mental health, specifically adolescent schizophrenia and the experience of family members who, with minimal or no training, provide in-home care to relatives diagnosed with schizophrenia. I am also interested in the ways immigrant family members perceive and cope with a mental health diagnosis as different cultures have different perceptions of the disease.
Nadiah Baghdadi
After receiving my Bachelor degree in Nursing, I worked as a staff nurse at an internationally recognized hospital in Saudi Arabia. As a new graduate, the opportunity was challenging. However, I soon realized that the hospital was a melting pot for nurses and physicians from different countries. This provided me a wonderful, unique learning opportunity and I tried to learn as much as I could from them. Pursuing graduate education became my goal as I was developing into a successful nurse serving her community. As a nurse working with expatriates in my country, I witnessed and recognized the need to develop the nursing profession in Saudi Arabia. This need propelled me towards pursuing my graduate degree and now my PhD degree. I strongly believe that as I acquire more knowledge, the better I will be in serving my community.
My ultimate goal is to return to my country prepared with the knowledge and skills to build fundamental policies that focus on hiring and retaining of qualified Saudi nurses and implementing culturally sensitive patient care.
Patricia Fleck
I have returned to Northeastern to pursue a PhD in Nursing with a focus on Maternal and Child Health. I have enjoyed a variety of roles in Maternal and Child Health Nursing and completed my MSN with a focus in Neonatal Critical Care at Northeastern in 1994. As an advanced practice nurse I found myself in both the informal and formal role of educator, sharing my expertise in the care of high-risk newborns. Working in the nearby world-class academic settings, I also had an opportunity to see how the scientific model uncovers new methods and interventions to improve the outcomes of this vulnerable population. I believe, with the mentoring of the nursing faculty here, my studies at Northeastern will allow me to realize my goals of that of a nurse researcher and scholar to contribute to the nursing care of mothers and their children in this ever changing world.
Kelly Gallant
I am currently attending Northeastern for the sixth consecutive year, as I graduated last spring with my BSN and immediately enrolled in the PhD program. I'm enjoying every second the opportunity has provided me - living in Boston, taking my PhD classes, and having the chance to work in multiple hospitals throughout the city. Currently, I am studying Pulmonary Hypertension, a progressive disease in which the pulmonary artery pressures are elevated resulting in extreme shortness of breath, among a multitude of other symptoms. In the future, I look forward to continuing research as well as teaching. I consider Northeastern my second home, and I can often be found skating in Matthew's Arena.
Shirley Gillies
My nursing career has been a journey from technician to professional and now to scientist. I have arrived at the point in my career where I want to develop new nursing knowledge. My area of interest includes functional decline in the geriatric population and the use of complementary alternative methods to improve function. While a Master's student at Northeastern, I have felt a strong level of support from the nursing faculty. While the PhD program is a more considerable undertaking, I feel confident that I will continue to receive the same level of support.
Mechelle Plasse
I have worked as an Advance Practice Nurse for over 10 years, in various settings from mental health to administration, and, to education. These diverse environments allowed me to see the various facets of the healthcare system, including its strong and weak points, and prompted me to return to school. My area of interest is the effect of workplace relationships between professionals on healthcare quality and on patient outcomes. As a psychiatric APRN, I am continuously curious about people. I find dynamics within and among groups particularly intriguing. When a patient is sick enough to require hospital level of care, the stakes are so high that there is no room for error. My interests lie with the error - what happened with the functioning of the team that created the loophole? What role did communication, or lack of it, play in that poor outcome? I focus on examining the interrelationships between healthcare professionals to create the most effective, efficient and healing milieu possible.
Valeria Ramdin
The desire to care and a passion for nursing led me to pursue a doctorate in nursing. Almost a decade ago, after years of self-evaluation and achieving one goal after another, I decided I was perhaps setting the bar too low. I needed to challenge myself. As I was working in a practice setting, I wondered how I could contribute more to the scientific field of nursing. In practice, I was touching one life at a time. I felt that if I returned to teaching, I could touch many more through my students' rendering compassionate, competent care. I decided to pursue my PhD in nursing. I chose Northeastern University because it epitomized compassionate care and was connected with the urban community. My area of interest grew out of my practice and the desire to understand how care can be more person-centered than medicine-centered. I hope to study how ambulatory monitoring of hypertension can contribute to the management of chronic hypertension in a vulnerable population -specifically, the elderly.
Kelley Strout
Immediately upon entering the nursing profession, I recognized the need for change in the health care delivery system. High-cost medical interventions have financially destabilized the health care system, the patient population, and the American economy. Furthermore, I recognized that focusing on "sick care" depleted patient quality of life and nurse job satisfaction. I believe, that the nursing profession can contribute to shifting healthcare from "sick care," and corresponding high-cost medical interventions to "well care" and increased availability of non-pharmacologic health treatments. A PhD in nursing will provide me the opportunity to research and support the positive financial and health outcomes linked to preventative and non-pharmacologic health interventions. In anticipation of the shortage in nursing faculty, I am eager to obtain the necessary credentials to contribute to educating future nurses and nurse leaders.
Rosemary Taylor
I chose Northeastern because my research interests are well supported here. Finding connection with Susan Jo Roberts' work was an important factor in my decision to return to school and pursue my PhD. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work with her and other distinguished faculty in the School of Nursing. My primary areas of interest are lateral violence and communication. I am interested in the incommensurability between the behaviors associated with lateral violence and the science of nursing. I am also interested in "voice" ("being heard", "speaking up" and "speaking out") and advocacy, as well as the importance of disclosure and creating cultures that encourage the reporting of errors through non-punitive approaches. My goal is to investigate communication and other issues, including workplace stressors and culture, which contribute to and perpetuate lateral violence in nursing and to find solutions that will improve nurses' work experience and patient outcomes.
Stephen Wood
In my pursuit of a Doctor of Philosophy degree, I will focus on family and community health with the hope to be an active participant in community health programs, which serve the immigrant, homeless and underserved populations. In my educational pursuits, I would like to focus on evidence-based preventative medicine with an emphasis on community health programs in the emergency department and in-patient setting. Most importantly, I hope to initiate sustainable programs that engage patients, students, and current healthcare providers, integrating experts in healthcare as well as in education, social work and public health to design programs that are both accessible and user-friendly. I have a particular interest in vaccines as I feel that this area can have a great impact on both health and well-being. Education at Northeastern University, supported by renowned faculty and access to excellent research and clinical resources, would provide the best nursing research opportunities and education available. That, coupled with the focus of the Northeastern program on urban and underserved populations, match my clinical and research interests.
Lika Nusbaum
I worked for leading healthcare and academic institutions in Israel in the areas of med-surgical and emergency nursing for over 15 years. My experience as a nurse educator and clinician defines my goals: to contribute to the expansion of evidence-based practice and to promote health and healthcare education. I hope during my doctoral studies I will acquire the knowledge, skills and tools to realize both of my ambitions. My nursing career has been a journey from practical to educational nursing and now I am ready to move forward to develop new nursing knowledge in my quest for professional, academic and personal growth.
Dympna O'Carroll
I am an experienced nurse who enjoys teaching and providing a quality, cohesive education to nursing students. Previously, I was a clinical faculty instructor in our School of Nursing teaching the Med/Surg 2 course and providing clinical supervision on in-patient hospital units.
Daniel David
Prior to my nursing career, I received a Master's degree in Biomedical Science with a concentration in Neuroscience at the University of Colorado Health Science Center. For ten years I investigated neurodegenerative diseases, movement disorders, aging and drugs of abuse in animal models. Following a career change to nursing, I became a staff nurse on a med/surg floor in a small community hospital in Needham, MA. At Beth Israel Deaconess – Needham hospital I began my inquiry into why certain patients were more likely to be readmitted following discharge. Since 2007, I have been a research nurse at the Clinical Research Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) in Boston, MA. As a research nurse, I provided patient care for subjects in research studies while assisting investigators in developing their protocols. While helping other investigators I began to develop areas of research that I wanted to pursue as a nurse researcher. My recent research looks at the impact of nurse practitioners on cardiac patient outcomes. In collaboration with co-investigators, I found that the involvement of nurse practitioners on medical teams caring for cardiac patients following ICU admissions greatly reduced hospital readmission. As a doctoral student at Northeastern University I plan to look at the transitions of patients with chronic diseases from the inpatient to the outpatient setting.
Ann Malley
I graduated with a BS in Nursing from Salem State College in 1984 and an MS in Adult Primary Care from Northeastern University in 1994. I am certified as an Adult Nurse Practitioner and Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty seven years of clinical experience in direct patient care in a variety of settings and teaching experience in the clinical and non-clinical environment. As an experienced practitioner, my goal of developing a skill set in nursing quality and safety research is a natural and logical professional career trajectory. Through scientific inquiry we cannot only identify the challenges that confront us but we also can investigate the use of emerging technology and information systems that can assist us with meeting the challenges and improve efficacy and ultimately patient outcome. I believe there is a critical need to disseminate and incorporate what we learn from this type of scientific inquiry into nursing education. My goals upon completion of Northeastern University's PhD program are to conduct research in an academic environment and contribute to the formal and informal education of future nurses. I am thrilled to be returning for this next phase of my nursing career to Northeastern University to study with nursing faculty whose expertise and commitment to nursing education is unparalleled.
Kerry Nolte
I started my nursing career at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts, after being inspired by working with ER nurses through my work as an Emergency Medical Technician. After completing my Bachelors of Nursing, I completed the New Graduate Critical Care Program at Catholic Medical Center in Manchester, New Hampshire and worked in the Intensive Care Unit. I then returned to further my education at the University of New Hampshire completing a Masters in Nursing, specializing as a Family Nurse Practitioner. My program afforded me the opportunity to teach undergraduate students, a passion which I hope to continue as a faculty member in the future. After completing my program as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I have been practicing in a Community Health Center/ Healthcare for the Homeless Program in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I have continued to teach undergraduate nursing to students in clinical and classroom settings including a Global Health Course conducted in Ghana. I have returned to Northeastern University to pursue my PhD in Nursing with the goal of guiding a new generation of nursing through research and education.
Monika Schuler
I came into nursing as a second career having worked previously as a cranberry biologist. My experience as a second career nurse, then clinical instructor and assistant professor at a small college in Boston has peaked my interest in how we educate our nurses. With so many entries into practice I wonder if there is a relationship between the varied paths and readiness for and transitions to practice. I choose to pursue these studies at Northeastern because of its reputation as a leader in innovation and research. I am currently completing my first year of course work and have benefited from the support and guidance of experienced and dedicated nurse scholars. Living on the south shore I commute to NEU multiple times a week; even so, the leadership, support, mentorship, and guidance make it worth the trip!

Me: Where's the rosé come from? Waiter: Australia. Me: Where in Australia? Waiter: Somewhere in the south west I think. The staff are young, friendly and helpful at the Acland St Cantina, the latest outpost of the Melbourne Pub Group in the basement of what was once the Prince Wine Store and Mink cocktail bar. There's no complaints there. Some of them even speak a second language – English – and as noted by @winebybrad on Twitter can even narrow a wine region down to the nearest 2 million sq km. Pretty much everything has been shifted in the basement. The Prince Wine Store and the front end of Mink have become a diner-style tacoteria, sorry tacqueria, and bar. In the backend two of the famous private booths remain (but without curtains) in a room given a rustic feel and a complete makeover. For now the group's kitchen overlord Paul Wilson is assembling the food and it's good. Very good for casual Mexican. And based on a December visit to its sibling, it is much better than at the Newmarket where standards appear to have slipped. I dived into the Magarita ($16 each) of the day while my girlfriend tried a disappointingly sweet and bland summer spritz ($16) of Aperol, watermelon liquor, lemon juice and moscato. The wine list is mainly Spanish and South American with some terrific value (unlike the Newmarket where bottles start at around $70) starting at $35 and mostly costing under $60. Wines by the glass are either from a generic tap – bianco, rosso, rose, NV sparkling – with two available from the bottle. Unfortunately my headline is an exaggeration. Our first order was ceviche which arrived promptly and comprised tiny discs of protein. The remainder all arrived at the same time meaning we'd pretty much eaten everything 20 minutes after arriving. The Baja fried fish tacos (below) with slaw and chipotle mayo we hoovered down, hungry for more. And the authentic Al pastor tacos of spit roasted pork with a pineapple salsa were way more-ish. The red mole (that's a thick Mexican sauce made with over 30 ingredients rather than a blind burrowing animal) with the current vogue brand of goat from Tallarook (below) was too heavy for a summers night and is perhaps worth a revisit come winter. 20 minutes in my current ex wife arrived at another table and we advised her… Read more »

George Orwell's Moon Under Water versus the real thing
Moon Under Water, George Orwell, Evening Standard, February 1946 George Orwell: My favourite public-house, the Moon Under Water, is only two minutes from a bus stop, but it is on a side-street, and drunks and rowdies never seem to find their way there, even on Saturday nights. Moon Under Water, Andrew McConnell, Gertrude St, July 2012 Tomatom: First, the public house is called the Builders Arms and it is also close to the tram stop on Gertrude St. The entrance to the casualy dumbed down fine dining restaurant The Moon Under Water is just around the corner, barely off Gertrude St, on Gore Street. With a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre up the street opposite Andrew McConnell's other restaurant Cutler & Co, you are guaranteed a bit of edge on the street, if not a few metres around the corner. Its clientele, though fairly large, consists mostly of "regulars" who occupy the same chair every evening and go there for conversation as much as for the beer. Its regular clientele has swapped from the impoverished and the grungy to cashed-up and smart. The Builders' Arms restaurant is booked out weeks ahead. At $75 a head for four courses, a regular chair (for the Wednesday to Sunday that it is open) is a dream for most. And with the frequency that the menu changes, gourgeous though the food is, one visit a week is adequate. If you are asked why you favour a particular public-house, it would seem natural to put the beer first, but the thing that most appeals to me about the Moon Under Water is what people call its "atmosphere." You wouldn't describe the beer coming first at The Moon Under Water. It's the delightfully light yet flavoursome food of Andrew McConnell, followed by wine. The atmospehere is white. The interior is starkly white, another design from Projects of The Imagination. The clientelle is white apart from, one black, two Indians and four Asians the night we visited. Can I mention the food again? To begin with, its whole architecture and fittings are uncompromisingly Victorian. It has no glass-topped tables or other modern miseries, and, on the other hand, no sham roof-beams, ingle-nooks or plastic panels masquerading as oak. The grained woodwork, the ornamental mirrors behind the bar, the cast-iron fireplaces, the florid ceiling stained dark yellow by tobacco-smoke, the stuffed bull's head over the mantelpiece —everything has… Read more »

If you're a person who always has a rosy outlook and sees the glass as half-full rather than half-empty, your positive attitude may have even more benefits than you think.
A growing number of scientific studies indicate that optimistic people tend to live longer and have better physical and mental health than pessimistic people.
The unique phenomenon of optimism leading to better health has been scientifically studied. In 2010, a group of researchers studied the results of 83 of these reports to look for any common findings.
Once the researchers developed a consistent way to analyze the results of these different studies, they were able to show that optimism seemed to have a fairly remarkable impact on physical health. Whether an individual study looked at overall longevity, survival from a disease, heart health, immunity, cancer outcomes, pregnancy outcomes, pain tolerance, or another health topic, it seemed that those who had a more optimistic outlook performed better and had a better outcome than those who were pessimistic.
The message is that having a positive attitude can boost your physical health, regardless of what might be ailing you. The researchers also noted that optimism seemed to have fairly consistent benefits for people regardless of demographic factors such as income level or overall health status.
Changing yourself from a pessimistic person into an optimistic person isn't easy. Some approaches you can try to switch your mindset are to have positive thoughts about yourself and others and to stop comparing yourself to others in a competitive way—each individual has unique and special talents that should be appreciated.
Try to find the good in every situation, even at difficult moments. When facing a challenge, focus on achieving a positive outcome, rather than anticipating defeat.
Other strategies that can lead to a more optimistic point of view include exploring your own beliefs about the meaning and purpose of life, whether they are philosophical or religious. Also, strive to improve your physical health through exercise, a healthy diet, and good sleeping habits and hygiene—the better you feel, the brighter your outlook will be. Finally, challenge your mind every day by learning something new, including learning about yourself and your family history.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc
"We don't know precisely why we had a tough quarter, but the results are in, and I can tell you we had a tough quarter in fixed-income," Cohn said. "We're very committed. We're going to redouble or triple our efforts in fixed-income."
Goldman said last week that revenue from fixed-income, currency and commodities trading dropped 47 percent to $1.29 billion, the lowest quarterly figure since the financial crisis. Its revenue fell more than revenue of Wall Street rivals Morgan Stanley
While Cohn said Goldman is open to hiring "seasoned" professionals with strong client relationships, he added that bonuses may be down across Wall Street this year if revenue does not improve in the fourth quarter.
"If we don't have a good fourth quarter, bonuses will be down."

Sept. 21, 2009 -- A new study shows most tanning bed operators don't
restrict teens' access to indoor tanning beds during the first
week of use as recommended by the FDA.
The FDA recommends but does not require that indoor tanning bed operators
limit teens to three or fewer tanning bed session in the first week. But
researchers found only about 11% did so, and 71% of tanning bed operators said
they would allow a teen to tan seven days a week.
"Exposure to UV radiation from indoor tanning lamps has been linked with
both melanoma and squamous cell cancer, and first exposure
before age 35 years may increase melanoma risk by as much as 75 percent," write
researcher Latrice C. Pichon, PhD, MPH, of San Diego State University and
colleagues in the Archives of Dermatology.
Researchers say the popularity of indoor tanning with adolescent girls in
recent years may also be behind a recent increase in melanoma rates among U.S.
women aged 15-39.
In the study, researchers surveyed 3,647 indoor tanning operators in the
U.S. by phone. The caller posed as a prospective fair-skinned 15-year old
customer who had never tanned before.
The results showed about 87% of the tanning bed operators required teens to
get parental consent, 14% required a parent to accompany the tanner, and 5%
would not allow a 15-year-old to tan at all.
Researchers found facilities in states with laws regulating indoor tanning
or youth access to tanning beds were much more likely to require parental
consent than those without such laws. As of 2005, 28 states had laws regulating
indoor tanning and 21 had youth access restrictions.
The study also showed only about 11% of tanning bed operators limited teens
to the FDA-recommended three or fewer sessions the first week. The average
number of tanning bed sessions allowed per week was six and 71% said they would
allow a teen to tan seven days a week.
Researchers say more states should consider laws restricting teen access to
indoor tanning beds to more forcefully educate teens and parents about the real
dangers of indoor tanning.

Espen Kofstad, from Norway is the first round leader in the ISPS Handa Wales Open at Celtic Manor.
Espen Kofstad /Getty Images
Espen shot a first round -7 under par 64 on the par 71 layout at Celtic Manor. He was playing in the presence of Ryder Cup Captain Paul McGinley on first day of qualification for next year's side begins. Espen had a fine finish to his round with birdies at 15,16,17, and rounded it all off with an Eagle three at the 18th. A neck injury saw him withdraw from the French Open, but after receiving medical attention has burst back onto the scene. He said his round was a good application for Paul to consider;
"I have been very, very calm the last two weeks, I started to settle down a bit. I was a bit stressed and tentative and wasn't able to practice as much as I wanted to with my neck injury. Today I wasn't nervous and it felt really easy. I kept hitting the shots and they came off in the end. I got a little lucky I suppose holing a long putt on the 17th and the bunker shot on the last. I was only trying to get it ten-fifteen feet past the hole because it was a tough shot.It would be great to play in the Ryder Cup, although I can't really expect a spot. But I put in a decent application today."
Paul, -1 under par, was certainly impressed;
"What a finish, to finish birdie, birdie, birdie, eagle is fantastic. He hit it a million miles, hit a lot of fairways, played very well and he deserved that score."
Tied in second place, two shots behind on -5 under par are Chris Wood and Richard Green. Chris was happy to be so close to his home, in Bristol City;
"Even though I'm English I do think of this as a home event and it's one I'd love to win. It's nice to be able to stay at home this week, dinner is on the table when you walk in the door, and I treated my caddie to a Bristol City game on Tuesday. We beat Crystal Palace in the Capital One Cup so I think he got lucky. It's probably the best I have seen them play for a couple of years so I think Brendan is now a bit of a closet fan."
Richard is another player battling injury, a dodgy wrist,, tennis elbow and bad shoulder, he said his game is getting better. He needs it to because he is at 112 on the list and is in danger of losing his playing privileges for next year.
"The signs are good. I've been suffering a bit of tennis elbow and a bit of a dodgy right wrist and a bad shoulder, as you do when you get older. I'm managing them pretty well, the guys in the physio truck are looking after me pretty well and getting me fit to play. As long as I keep up that sort of work and keep fit, I'll be all right. I've gone 20 years in my golf career injury-free and all of a sudden in one year, I've got three different things bothering me."
At -4 under par, and tied in fourth place are Tjaart Van Der Walt, Mark Foster and Gregory Bourdy. It will be interesting tomorrow to see if Espen can keep up the fast pace he has set here at Celtic Manor for the second round.

I want to know about hijab . How many kind of hijab allowed by islam ?
As-salamu 'alaikum. Hijab is an Arabic word which means 'cover' or 'screen' in English. Muslim women are to cover their body in such a way that non-mahrams may not be attracted to them, this is why they use hijab. The main purpose of hijab is to ascertain a muslim woman's modest appearance. So, if a hijab can cover a woman's awrah perfectly, then any kind of hijab is allowed. Also, hijabs must not be too colorful and attractive.
answered May 14 '13 at 09:26 Muhammad Abdul Ahad ♦ 1.8k●2●3●14
Good colors are black, brown, gray . Nothing bright in color. As this defeats the purpose of wanting no attention drawn to draw the woman's appearance.
(May 15 '13 at 03:09) sadie ♦
and is it necessary to cover the face even if there is no makeup or any attractive factor??

He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad. And that was all his patrimony.(Rafael Sabatini (1875-1950), Italian-born British author. Scaramouche, bk. 1, ch. 1 (1921). Opening words, describing the book's hero, André-Louis Moreau.)More quotations from: Rafael Sabatini, laughter, world
There exists a kind of laughter which is worthy to be ranked with the higher lyric emotions and is infinitely different from the twitchings of a mean merrymaker.(Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol (1809-1852), Russian author, dramatist. Dead Souls, pt. 1, ch. 7 (1842).)More quotations from: Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, lyric, laughter
For public opinion does not admit that lofty rapturous laughter is worthy to stand beside lofty lyrical emotion and that there is all the difference in the world between it and the antics of a clown at a fair.(Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol (1809-1852), Russian author, dramatist. Dead Souls, pt. 1, ch. 7 (1842), trans. by David Magarshak (1961).)More quotations from: Nikolai Vasilyevich Gogol, laughter, world
There are in every generation those who shrink from the ultimate sacrifice, but there are in every generation those who make it with joy and laughter and these are the salt of the generations.(Patrick Henry Pearse (1879-1916), Irish nationalist leader. Commemoration address, March 2, 1914, Brooklyn, N.Y., for Irish patriot Robert Emmet, executed in 1803 for his part in an abortive invasion of Ireland. Pearse was himself executed by the British in 1916 for his part in the Easter Rising, when he was proclaimed president of the provisional republican government.)More quotations from: Patrick Henry Pearse, laughter, joy
The Abbey always reminds me of that old toast, "Above lofty timbers, the walls around are bare, echoing to our laughter, as though the dead were there."(Garrett Fort (1900-1945), U.S. screenwriter, and Tod Browning. Lucy Weston (Frances Dade), Dracula, remarking on the house Count Dracula has just leased (1931). From the play adapted by Hamilton Deane and John Balderston (1899-1954).)More quotations from: Garrett Fort, laughter
I do not know that I meet, in any of my Walks, Objects which move both my Spleen and Laughter so effectually, as those Young Fellows ... who rise early for no other Purpose but to publish their Laziness.(Richard Steele (1672-1729), British author. The Spectator, No. 49 (1711).)More quotations from: Richard Steele, laughter
Unless comedy touches me as well as amuses me, it leaves me with a sense of having wasted my evening. I go to the theatre to be moved to laughter, not to be tickled or bustled into it.(George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), Anglo-Irish playwright, critic. first published in the Saturday Review (Feb. 23, 1895). "An Old New Play and a New Old One," The Drama Observed , ed. Bernard F. Dukore, Penn State Press (1993).)More quotations from: George Bernard Shaw, laughter
While it may not heighten our sympathy, wit widens our horizons by its flashes, revealing remote hidden affiliations and drawing laughter from far afield; humor, in contrast, strikes up fellow feeling, and though it does not leap so much across time and space, enriches our insight into the universal in familiar things, lending it a local habitation and a name.(Marie Collins Swabey. Comic Laughter, ch. 5, Yale University Press (1961).)
When you think of the huge uninterrupted success of a book like Don Quixote, you're bound to realize that if humankind have not yet finished being revenged, by sheer laughter, for being let down in their greatest hope, it is because that hope was cherished so long and lay so deep!(Georges Bernanos (1888-1948), French novelist and political writer. M. Olivier, in The Diary of a Country Priest, ch. 7 (1936).)
You highest men whom I have ever seen! This is my suspicion about you and my secret laughter: I guess that you would call my supermana devil!(Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher, classical scholar, critic of culture. Friedrich Nietzsche, Sämtliche Werke: Kritische Studienausgabe, vol. 4, pp. 185-186, eds. Giorgio Colli and Mazzino Montinari, Berlin, de Gruyter (1980). Zarathustra, in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Second Part, "On Human Prudence," (1883).)More quotations from: Friedrich Nietzsche, superman, laughter

Junko started her PhD study in Fall 2010 and has been teaching at ELI since then. Before coming to Hawaii, she taught English in junior/senior high schools and universities in Tokyo for five years. Currently, she does research on L2 writing feedback and her study in Hawaii is really providing the width and depth on her expertise she built in her MA study in Toronto. As she was an exchange student in Montreal 10 years ago and is now teaching courses she attended then to international students in Hawaii, she believes international study experiences like study abroad greatly influence learners and teachers for their personal and professional developments.

It has become an accepted truism in American politics that both Democrats and Republicans want the same things: a prosperous America, a strong America, an America true to principles of freedom and liberty.
Perhaps 50 years ago that was true.
Today, it no longer is.
The fact is that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are no longer arguing over means; we are arguing over ends. Democrats know that economic prosperity for the broad swath of the United States cannot be bought with higher taxes; even Bill Clinton recognized as much in the 1990s, which is why he lowered capital gains taxes dramatically...

Alexandra Patricia "Alex" Morgan (born July 2, 1989) is an American soccer player and Olympic gold medalist. She is a forward for National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) club Portland Thorns FC and the United States women's national soccer team. Morgan was drafted number one overall in the 2011 WPS Draft by the Western New York Flash where she made her professional debut and helped the team win the league championship. At age 22, she was the youngest player on the national team at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. Her record-breaking game-winning goal in the 123rd minute against Canada during the 2012 London Olympics was her 20th goal in 2012 and propelled her to becoming the sixth and youngest U.S. player to do so in a single year. Morgan finished 2012 with 28 goals and 21 assists, joining Mia Hamm as the only American women to score 20 goals and 20 assists in the same calendar year. She was subsequently named U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year and was a FIFA World Player of the Year finalist.
Off the field, Morgan teamed with Simon & Schuster to write a middle-grade book series about four soccer players entitled The Kicks. The first book in the series, Saving the Team (ISBN 1442485701), debuted at number seven on the The New York Times Best Seller list for Children's Middle Grade in May 2013. She has endorsement deals with Nike, Panasonic, Coca Cola, ChapStick, and Bridgestone.
Born to Pamela S. (née Jeske) and Michael T. Morgan in San Dimas, California,[1] Morgan was raised with her two older sisters, Jeni and Jeri in the nearby suburb of Diamond Bar, located approximately 45 minutes east of Los Angeles.[2] She was a multi-sport athlete growing up, but did not begin playing soccer until age 13 when she began playing on an American Youth Soccer Association (AYSO) team.[3] A year later, she began playing club soccer at age 14 for Cypress Elite.[4][5] With the club team, she won the Coast Soccer League (CSL) under-16 championship and placed third at the under-19 level.[6]
Morgan attended Diamond Bar High School, where she was a three-time all-league pick and was named All-American by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).[7] At the school, she was known for her speed and sprinting ability.[8] Morgan played for Olympic Development Program (ODP) regional and state teams as well.[6] She later credited the program as an integral part of her development as a soccer player: "... programs like ODP helped me especially because I did come into the club scene late and it was important for me to play as much as possible, play with the best players and learn from the best coaches. That, for me, was crucial to my development."[9]
At age 17, Morgan was called up to the United States under-20 women's national soccer team. While playing in a scrimmage against the men's junior national team, she endured an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and did not play for the team again until April 2008.[10]
Morgan attended the University of California, Berkeley, from 2007 to 2010 on a scholarship.[11] As a freshman playing for the California Bears, she was the leading scorer.[6] She scored the final goal of her freshman season during a match against Stanford in the second round of the 2007 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship. The equalizer resulted in a 1–1 draw with less than two minutes left in regulation time.[12] Cal was ultimately defeated during a penalty kicks.[13] Despite continued absences due to U.S. national team commitments (2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and then the senior team) throughout her collegiate career, she led the Golden Bears in scoring and to the NCAA Tournament in each of her four years, advancing to the second round twice.[6]
After being named a candidate for the Hermann Trophy during her junior year, Morgan became the first California player to be named one of the top-three Hermann Trophy finalists. She was also one of four finalists for the Honda Sports Award, given to the best overall candidate in each sport.[6]
Morgan finished her collegiate career ranked third all-time in goals scored (45) and points (107) for the Golden Bears.[14] She graduated from Berkeley one semester early, with a degree in Political Economy.[15]
On January 14, 2011, Morgan was the first overall pick in the 2011 WPS Draft by the Western New York Flash.[16] She was the first California Golden Bears women's soccer player to be drafted in the first round of Women's Professional Soccer (WPS).[17] Morgan scored her first goal for the Flash during the team's home opener—a 3–0 win over the Atlanta Beat on May 1, 2011.[18] Throughout the 2011 season, she played in 14 matches and scored 4 goals.[19] The club won the regular season title and the WPS Championship title the same year.[20]
After the WPS later suspended operations in early 2012 due to legal and financial difficulties,[21] Morgan joined her national teammates Hope Solo, Sydney Leroux, Megan Rapinoe and Stephanie Cox on the Seattle Sounders Women for the 2012 season.[22][23][24] Of her signing, Morgan said, "I am excited to play in a city that is so passionate about soccer. The Sounders have been one of, if not the best fan support in MLS. I can only imagine how Seattle fans would respond to having a full professional women's team in the future."[25]
Due to her national team commitments and preparation for the 2012 Summer Olympics,[26] Morgan made three regular season appearances for the club. She scored two goals and served two assist in her 253 minutes on the pitch.[27] With the national teammates' presence on the team,[28][29] the Sounders sold out nine of their ten home matches at the 4,500 capacity Starfire Stadium.[30] Average attendance during the 2012 season for the Sounders Women was four times higher than the next closest team.[30]
On January 11, 2013, Morgan was one of three U.S. national team players to join the Portland Thorns FC for the inaugural season of the National Women's Soccer League via the NWSL Player Allocation.[31] She scored her first goal for the Thorns during the team's home-opener at Jeld-Wen Field in front of 16,479 spectators helping her team defeat the Seattle Reign FC 2–1.[32][33] She finished the regular season as the team's point leader, and joint scoring leader (with Christine Sinclair), with eight goals and five assists (21 points).[34] She was named to the NWSL's Best XI Second Team. The club finished in a three-way tie atop the league in the regular season standings. On August 31, 2013, the club captured the inaugural National Women's Soccer League championship title.[35] Morgan was named to the NWSL Best XI Second team on August 28.[36]
Due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury that slowed her progress in 2007, Morgan was not called up to train with the United States under-20 women's national soccer team until April 2008.[37] Her first appearance for the under-20 team occurred during the 2008 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship in Puebla, Mexico, where she scored her first international goal against Cuba.[38]
Morgan was named to the United States U-20 women's national team that competed in the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Chile, scoring a total of four goals in the tournament against France, Argentina and North Korea. Morgan's fourth goal of the tournament was a match-winner that gave the U.S. a gold medal, which subsequently voted the best goal of the tournament,[39] and later FIFA's second-best goal of the year.[40] Morgan's performance on the field earned her the Bronze Shoe as the tournament's third-highest scorer and the Silver Ball as the tournament's second-best player behind teammate Sydney Leroux.[41]
She has been capped by the senior national team, first appearing as a substitute in a match versus Mexico in March 2010,[42] and scored her first international goal after coming on as a substitute against China, which salvaged a 1–1 draw in October 2010. Her most important goal to date came a month later in a crucial road game against Italy. After entering the match in the 86th minute, she scored in the fourth minute of added time to give the United States a 1–0 victory over Italy in the first leg of a playoff to qualify for the final spot for the Women's World Cup.[43]
Morgan was the youngest player on the U.S. national team that placed second in the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup. On July 13, 2011, she scored her first FIFA Women's World Cup goal in the 82nd minute of the semi-final matchup against France, giving the USA a 3–1 lead and ultimately, the victory. She scored the first goal (69') in the FIFA World Cup Final against Japan after coming on as a substitute at the half, as well as assisting on the Abby Wambach header (104') for a goal in extra time. Her performance made her the first player to ever record a goal and an assist in a World Cup final.[44] Morgan finished eighth in the balloting for the 2011 FIFA World Player of the Year.[45]
Morgan didn't become a starter for the U.S. until the fifth game of the year in January, the final of the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.[46] She scored twice and provided two assists to Wambach that day, in a 4–0 win over the Canadian hosts and has become a regular starter ever since. Morgan scored 14 goals in a 12-game stretch from January to late May 2012, including three straight two-goal efforts. She earned her first career hat-trick on March 7, 2012, during a 4–0 victory against Sweden in the third-place game of the Algarve Cup. In June 2012, she was nominated for an ESPY Award as the Best Breakthrough Athlete.[47]
In the opening game of 2012 London Olympics group play, Morgan scored both the equalizer and the goal that sealed the win against France.[48] In the next three Olympic matches, she assisted on the game-winning goal, including two to Wambach.[49][50][51]
Morgan scored the winning goal in the Olympic semifinal match against Canada in extra time, sending the United States to the gold medal match against Japan. Her goal came in the 123rd minute, the latest goal ever scored by a member of the U.S. women's team and a FIFA record.[52] The goal continued her propensity for late heroics in the closing stages of matches. Seventeen of her 28 total goals to date have come after the 60th minute. The game-winning goal was Morgan's team-high 20th in 2012, becoming only the sixth and youngest U.S. player to do so in a single year.[53][54] In the final, a 2–1 win against Japan on August 9, Morgan assisted on a Carli Lloyd header.[55] She ended the tournament with 3 goals, and a team-high four assists (tied with Megan Rapinoe) and ten points (tied with Rapinoe and Wambach).[56] To celebrate her achievements, she was honored at her previous high school, Diamond Bar High School, and #13 was retired.
In 2012, Morgan led the U.S. in goals (28), multi-goal games (9), assists (21) and points (77).[57] Her calendar year goals, assists and points totals are the third-best, tied second-best (one tally shy of record), and second-best, respectively, in U.S. WNT history. Morgan joined an exclusive club as she and Hamm are the only U.S. WNT players to record at least 20 goals and 20 assists in the same calendar year and became only the third and youngest player to reach 20 assists in a calendar year. Morgan and Wambach combined for 55 goals in 2012 – matching a 21 year old record set in 1991 by Michelle Akers (39 goals) and Carin Jennings (16 goals) as the most goals scored by any duo in U.S. WNT history. She had either scored or assisted on 41 percent of the USA's 120 goals this year. And, by herself, she comfortably out-scored and out-assisted her opponents, who combined for 21 goals and 12 assists in 32 games against the U.S.[46]
For her excellence on the field, U.S. Soccer announced Morgan as the 2012 Female Athlete of the Year.[58] Morgan's exploits have also earned her a place on the FIFA Ballon d'Or shortlist, ultimately finished third in voting.[59]
At the 2013 Algarve Cup, Morgan shared top-scoring honors. She finished the competition with four assists and three goals, including the equalizer against Sweden that advanced the U.S. to the final and the two goals against Germany that won the championship.[60][61] Morgan previously won the tournament's golden boot in 2011.[62] On June 2, 2013, Morgan scored two second half goals as the U.S. defeated Canada 3-0 in front of a sold out crowd in Toronto. This was the first match between USA and Canada since the epic semifinal of the 2012 Olympic Games.[63] Morgan was named to her third appearance on the 10-player short list for FIFA Women's World Player of the Year in 2013 and finished fourth in the voting.[64][65] For the inaugural CONCACAF Awards, she was recognized as the CONCACAF 2013 Female Player of the Year.[66] And as a part of US Soccer's celebration of its Centennial anniversary the Federation revealed the US Soccer's All-Time Women's National Team Best XI, she was youngest player selected at 24 years old.[67]

Boston's little sister is Charleston, S.C. Both have an affinity for old things: historic churches, cobblestone streets, mayors who cling to office like barnacles in their salty old harbors.
Between them, Thomas Menino and Joseph Riley have spent 57 years in office. Charleston voters elected Riley to his 10th term in 2011. He's a spry 68. Menino, if he runs again, will seek a sixth term at 70, even as he battles Type 2 diabetes. Not that it matters — FDR taught us that physical indignities need not impair the ability to govern.
