New England Revolution
Saturday's meeting will be the 61st regular-season meeting between the two teams, the Crew's most-faced opponent during the season since 1996 ... the Crew's 29 wins (29-20-11) against the Revs are the most versus any opponent in Black & Gold history, more than D.C. United (24 wins against), New York (24 wins against) or Sporting KC (21 wins).
Although the Revs won the regular-season series in 2013 with three victories, the Black & Gold have found success against the Revs over the last seven seasons ... in the last 18 meetings, dating back to 2007, the Crew is 8-6-4 against the Revs ... during that stretch, the Revs won the regular-season series once: last year ... other than that, the Crew has won the regular-season series four times and the two teams have split results two other times ... from 1996 through 2000, and again from 2002 through 2006, the two conference foes met four times a year.
Major League Soccer announced on July 19 that Columbus Crew captain and de- fender Michael Parkhurst has been named to the 23-man roster for the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game ... the experienced roster will take on Bayern Munich on August 6 at Providence Park, home of the Portland Timbers (live on ESPN 2, UniMas, and in Canada on TSN and RDS starting at 9:30 p.m. ET) ... the Rhode Island native is the first Crew player to be named to the All-Star roster in four years and is the first selection since the duo of Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Chad Marshall in 2010 ... Parkhurst has played in two previous MLS All-Star matches.
Saturday's clash is the first for Crew Captain Michael Parkhurst against his former club, New England ... drafted by the Revs in the first round (ninth overall) in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft, Parkhurst played every single minute of his first season as a professional and earned MLS Rookie of the Year honors en route to the first of three consecutive MLS Cup Final appearances with New England ... following the 2006 season – in which he was named MLS Humanitarian of the Year – the defender was a part of the club's first-ever title in 2007 when the Revs secured the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup ... that season, Parkhurst was also named MLS Defender of the Year and a member of MLS Best XI ... 2007 also marked the first of two consecutive seasons in which he earned the MLS Fair Play Award, as the defender was not issued a red card in four seasons of action ... with Parkhurst, the Revs won the 2008 Superliga title the following season in his final campaign in New England.
The Crew needed two positive results last weekend to stay afloat in the run for the MLS Cup Playoffs and unfortunately were eliminated from postseason contention ... the Crew fell 3-2 to the Revs on Saturday night and then Chicago defeated Toronto just after the final whistle in the Crew match ... even with a Crew win at New England, the Black & Gold would have been eliminated ... however, the loss to the Revs leaves the Crew with a feeling that New England kept the Crew from the postseason, giving plenty of motivation this weekend to return the favor.
Sunday's meeting will be the 60th regular-season meeting between the two teams, the Crew's most-faced opponent during the season since 1996 ... the Crew's 29 wins (29-19-11) against the Revs are the most versus any opponent in Black & Gold history, more than D.C. United (23 wins against), New York (24 wins against) or Sporting KC (21 wins).
Although the Revs have won the regular-season series in 2013 with a pair of wins on July 20 and October 19, the Black & Gold have found success against the Revs over the last six seasons ... in the last 17 meetings, dating back to 2007, the Crew is 8-5-4 against the Revs ... during that stretch, the Crew has won the regular-season series four times and the two teams have split results two other times ... from 1996 through 2000, and again from 2002 through 2006, the two conference foes met four times a year.
Due to a nagging hip injury suffered in the Crew's 1-0 loss to Sporting Kansas City on October 5, Federico Higuaín will miss Saturday night's Eastern Conference clash against the New England Revolution. Though the Argentine playmaker began jogging once again during the week, Interim Head Coach Brian Bliss and the team's medical staff ruled Higuaín was not fit for game action.
Ethan Finlay will replace Higuaín in the lineup as Dominic Oduro will join Jairo Arrieta on the Crew frontline.
"We said it yesterday that the decision regarding Federico traveling would be a flight-time call," Bliss explained. "After consulting with Federico and the medical staff, we determined that he would be unable to go tonight and so it made sense that he would not travel with us yesterday."
Following the Montreal Impact's 2-1 win over the Philadelphia Union, the Crew needs a win in New England tonight coupled with a Toronto FC win or draw against the Chicago Fire. Higuaín will be re-evaluated and could return with a berth a chance to clinch an MLS Cup Playoff berth next week against the Revolution in Columbus.
"We'll re-evaluate his availability next week, but for now, we believe we have what it takes to get three crucial points tonight," Bliss said.
On Saturday, the Crew hosts New England Revolution in the first of three matches this season between the two sides in 2013. The Black & Gold went 1-1-1 against the Revs last season in 2012, here is a look back at the series last season.
JUNE 16: Revolution 0 - Crew 0
Andy Gruenebaum made six saves to extend the Crew's unbeaten run to begin the summer of 2012 to six matches as the Crew battled the Revolution to a 0-0 draw at Gillette Stadium. While the Black & Gold attack only mustered three shots on target, the team's stellar defensive play was enough to earn the road point.
AUG. 25: Crew 4 - Revolution 3
After surrendering two goals within the first 23 minutes, it seemed the Crew was headed for certain defeat in its second meeting of the season with the Revolution. But two Federico Higuaín free-kick tallies with a Jairo Arrieta counter-attack strike saw the Black & Gold head into halftime with a 3-2 advantage. The Revs would draw level in the 81st minute following a Lee Nguyen penalty kick, but Arrieta would net his second goal of the match five minutes later to lift the Crew to victory.
Playing its sixth match in 18 days, the Crew traveled to New England in search of a fifth-straight win. However, fatigue was a factor as the Black & Gold allowed an early second-half goal followed by an own goal to hand the Revolution its first win in two months.

CHARLESTON (NEWS RELEASE) – University of Charleston Regional President Jerry Forster today announced the hiring of five coaches to lead UC-Beckley's newly founded athletic teams for the 2013-14 academic year. The coaches start immediately and their teams will begin play this fall.
"I'm very excited to welcome our first five coaches to UC-Beckley today," said Dr. Forster. "Each of these young coaches have a tie to the University previous to today's announcement, so they will be able to immediately incorporate UC's long-standing history of athletic excellence to our athletic programs."
Lisa Lee will lead UC-B's women's basketball program. Lee, a First Team All-American while playing for the University of Charleston, played six seasons as a professional in Europe before coming back to West Virginia to start her coaching career. As a player for the Golden Eagles, Lee's teams made three straight NCAA Tournaments, including two Elite Eight appearances. Lee was recently inducted into the University of Charleston Sports Hall of Fame for her athletic achievements during her playing career at UC.
Men's basketball in Beckley will be under the direction of Daniel Mitchell. Mitchell played his college career at Division I Radford University before joining Mark Downey's UC coaching staff last season. While on the Charleston staff, the Blacksburg, Va., native led the junior varsity squad. Mitchell holds a degree in Sports Administration.
Kelsey Eby, a native of Portland, Ore., will lead the women's volleyball program at UC-B. Eby was a four-year standout for the Golden Eagle volleyball program in Charleston. She will be graduate with her bachelor's degree in Sports Administration from UC this May.
The men's soccer program will be guided by Ryan Osborne. A native of Wakefield, England, Osborne played two seasons for the nationally-ranked Golden Eagles before moving to an assistant coaching role for Head Coach Chris Grassie this past season. Osborne holds a USSF D coaching license.
Sabrina Mullaney will coach the women's soccer team at UC-B. Mullaney is a 2012 graduate of the University of Charleston where she played four seasons under current head coach Todd Diuguid. While a player, Mullaney and her teammates excelled in the classroom, earning NSCAA All-Academic honors all four years. Mullaney is a native of Dundalk, Md.
The 2012-13 academic year marks UC's 125th anniversary as an academic institution. UC was founded in 1888 as Barboursville Seminary, renamed Morris Harvey College in 1901, moved to Charleston in 1935 and was renamed the University of Charleston in 1978.

BOOK BLURB: Three Regency Christmases to remember…
An Earl Beneath the Mistletoe by Louise Allen
Hugo, Earl of Burnham, hates Christmas! Snowbound in widow Emilia Weston's cozy alehouse, with her young twins, he's surrounded by festive preparations. Hugo's cynical heart is in danger of being melted…. How much longer can he avoid the mistletoe?
Twelfth Night Proposal by Lucy Ashford
Leaving London to claim his newly inherited estate, Theo Dalbury finds remote Derbyshire as foreign to him as his feelings for country girl Jenna. Christmas evokes painful memories for him, but Jenna is bringing out his festive spirit…and will give him a yuletide that he'll never forget!
Christmas at Oakhurst Manor by Joanna Fulford
Vivien Hastings is looking forward to a quiet Christmas at Oakhurst Manor, until she realizes she'll be sharing it with Max Calderwood. It's been years since he broke her heart, but one hot glance from his cool gray eyes shows her that she's just as vulnerable to him as she ever was….
EXCERPT: 'An Earl Beneath the Mistletoe' by Louise Allen
How do you melt the heart of a cynical man who does not believe in family – or love?
The ground came up to meet him with a force that jarred his tired legs as he slid out of the saddle in front of the front door and he steadied himself with a hand on the pommel while he thudded on the panels with his other fist.
No reply. Damn it, he would break in if he had to and pay for the damage afterwards…
The door swung open spilling light and heat into the rain. Hugo blinked against it, looked down to meet the concerned gaze of the woman holding the door open and said the first thing that came into his head. 'You are as wet as I am.'
Hell, she'll think she's facing a lunatic. But it was true. Wide hazel eyes smiled up at him out of a freckled face that was rosy with damp heat. Brown curls stuck to her forehead and cheeks, her sleeves were rolled up to reveal hands and forearms that dripped water and her wide white apron was soaked and glued to her skirts.
'But not as cold, I will wager,' she said with a laugh in her voice, turning to call over her shoulder, 'Boys! Quickly. Come in,' she added, 'Before you drown. You will not be going any further tonight, that is for certain.'
EXCERPT: 'Twelfth Night Proposal' by Lucy Ashford
Christmas evokes painful memories for Theo Dalbury but country girl Jenna will give him a Christmas he'll never forget…
'You – you are asking me to be your paid mistress?' She pulled herself away; Theo saw the colour had drained from her face.
'Jenna,' he said almost harshly, because his body was fiercely – painfully – aroused. 'We both want each other – you know that. You would be secure here, you and your mother!'
'Is it so very obvious?' she whispered.
'What on earth do you mean?'
She didn't answer. She'd already turned, and was hurrying away. 'Jenna!' he called. 'For God's sake…'
She'd disappeared, up the stairs. Theo cursed. Damn it, she'd enjoyed his kiss all right – she'd melted into him with all the sweetness of a young and eager temptress! Painfully he fought down his arousal. The rich new lord of Northcote Hall had come to pay a Christmastide visit, and she was making the most of it, before he left…
Wrong, Theo. He ground the heel of his palm against his temples. He was utterly and completely in the wrong. Wasn't it bad enough that he'd tried to seduce her? What possible grounds did he have for putting the blame on her, when it was all his fault in the first place for luring her into trusting him, then lunging at her like some skirt-starved trooper?
EXCERPT: 'Christmas at Oakhurst Manor' by Joanna Fulford
It has been years since Max Calderwood broke Vivien Hasting's heart but she finds herself as vulnerable to him as she ever was…
'Only you could find entertainment in that sordid little scene.'
'Entertainment at his expense, not yours.'
'Really?' Her chin tilted to a militant angle. 'I have another theory. I think the whole charade has just been part of the Christmas festivities as far as you're concerned.'
His amusement faded. 'No, never that.'
'Perhaps I should be flattered to know that I can still amuse you.'
With that she turned on heel and headed for the door.
'That isn't what I meant. Vivien, wait!'
She flung the door wide and kept going. Half walking half running she reached the side door to the garden, so angry that even the icy air had no power to deter. She was fifty yards along the path before Max eventually caught her up.
'Vivien, please stop!'
She swung round to face him. 'What now?'
'I apologise if I hurt your feelings. That was not my intention, I swear it.'
'You may not have intended it, Max, but you did all the same.' The blue gaze locked with his. 'You're good at it.'

'Nowhere to hide, no big lemon, no big screens, no toys to play with.' says Ned O'Hanlon, producer of U2 Live From Boston
Elevation: U2 Live From Boston is quite simply the best live concert footage I have ever witnessed, writes John Walshe at Hotpress.com. 'It is absolutely stunning and, more than that, it actually gives you more than a sense of what it must have been like to be at the gig, which is an amazing achievement.
"It turned out better than we could have expected," admits Ned O'Hanlon, the producer of the DVD, proudly. Ned and his partner Maurice Linnane make up Dreamchaser, the Irish company who were also responsible for Zoo TV Live from Sydney and Popmart Live from Mexico City.
"This was more of a challenge than either of the other concerts," Ned confesses. "There was nowhere to hide: no big lemon, no big screens, no toys to play with. But we got a great performance and I think it is the best thing we have done. I couldn't be more pleased with it."
The night before they shot the Boston gig, Dreamchaser embarked on a dry run, which, as the DVD's Making Of... documentary reveals, wasn't at the races at all. Surely that must be worrying, the day before the shoot is to take place.
"You don't often get two bites at the cherry when you shoot these things because it is very expensive," Ned admits. "But this is the third concert film we have shot with U2 and we knew right from the very start that we would need two nights to shoot it to make any sense out of it. You anticipate what you need to do and plan, but at some point you have to turn on the cameras and do it, and with the best laid plans, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Fortunately, we had always planned that the second night was going to be our night and we were much more ready for it.
"U2 are unusual in that they are so involved in every aspect of their own shows, designing them conceptually through to the finer details and they have a very good sense for how film works," Ned says. The producer points out, however, that Dreamchaser had to do a hard sell to convince the band that the various extras on the DVD were worth the additional work involved.
These are no more afterthoughts, tacked on at the end to cadge a few more quid out of the fans. No sirree Bob. There is the 25-minute Tom Dunne-narrated Making Of.., as well as bonus tracks, hidden tracks featuring the unique Bono-cam, which was fixed onto the frontman's glasses (along with a huge transmitter and battery pack strapped to his back with velcro), various other camera angles, trailers and screensavers.
Being a big U2 fan, Ned admits that he has been "very fortunate to have done so much work with them", but what I and half the world want to know is what are they like to work with?
"As a band, their standards are very high: they work very hard and expect everybody around them to work just as hard," he stresses. "That is not to say that they are unreasonable but they are very exacting. They would never accept anything that they are not happy with: they are very apologetic about the extra work or grief that it might cause, but it has to be done. They have never let their standards drop and I admire that."

Overheard today under The Big Top:
Daniel: Are you proud that I'm going to start 6th grade next week?
Mom: Very proud, Daniel. And very excited too. How about you?
Daniel: Yeah. But I don't think I'm ready for 8th or 9th grade.
Mom: Of course you're not ready for 8th and 9th grade. You need to work through 6th and 7th grade first. One grade at a time son.
Daniel: You're right mom.
Mom: Of course I am. I'm sure that you will make 6th grade life yours.
Daniel: Yeah?
Mom: Yeah. The odds are in your favor.
Daniel: Like when I was born?
Mom: Yes.
Daniel: Like when I was so small that I fit in your hand?
Mom: Yes. You were born with incredible odds against you and yet one by one you beat down those odds. You beat things when you weighed just one pound that most people will never face in their lifetime. 6th grade life? You've got this, son.
Daniel: …smiles and hugs his mom…
And then we bring out his NICU memory box from the back of his closet because sometimes lately he wants to remind himself of where he started from.
Daniel: I was really THIS small?
Mom:: You were indeed THIS small!
Started from the bottom…
Bring it on 6th grade life…bring it on.
Oh, and, OMG my little boy, the baby boy who really did fit into my hand the day that he was born, is starting 6th grade next week!!!

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. (AP) - New York racing officials say they're taking steps to make sure horses, track workers and fans are safe and comfortable as the 150th Saratoga Race Course season opens with temperatures expected to be in the mid-90s.
The New York racing Association says there will be veterinarians on horse paths, paddock, winner's circle and track to check all the thoroughbreds before and during races. Hoses and ice buckets will be available along the route the horses take to the track.
There will also be extra water in the jockeys' quarters and ice will be on sale at concession stands.
Forecasters say temperatures will be in the low- to mid-90s Friday, with humidity combining with the heat for a high heat index.
NYRA says it will monitor conditions through the day.

MADISON, Wis. (WSAU) - DNR officials are offering some last minute safety tips before you head out into the woods for the gun deer season this weekend.
Big game ecologist Kevin Wallenfang says everyone who's heading up into a tree should have a harness. "It's always a bad idea to make your own or try to use a rope. They can restrict breathing and things like that. You're better off to spend a little money, go out and get yourself a good harness and tie yourself into that stand so you don't fall." Falling out of stands is one of the most common cause of injuries during the deer hunt.
It is going to be cold this weekend, so before you head out, Wallenfang says you should give any space heater or stove you're bringing with you an inspection. "Test it the night before, make sure whatever fuel source you're using isn't leaking or anything like that which could cause a fire inside of your blind. Keep it away from the sides, keep it away from your clothing and make sure you're not going to have a fire you didn't expect."
Wallenfang also suggests you bring a cell phone, a whistle and a first aid kit with you in case of emergencies. You should also let people know where you're going to be. "Hunting can be pretty exerting on your body, and you have to know your limitations. If you're not in the best health, it's always better to hunt with somebody."
You can find more deer safety tips online at http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/deer.html

These holidays, started by Hugh and Jane Arbuthnott in 1989, are unique. Every holiday has a daily programme with a theme such as painting, walking, riding or history.
Many of these are based at Almuña, the Arbuthnotts' delightful and exceedingly comfortable home in Andalucía. They are now joined by their son Hughie and his wife Clare who have expanded their activities in Spain and into Morocco, Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
They all continue the Arbuthnott philosophy of generosity, humour and care.
The holidays are for groups of up to 14 guests. You either join in with others on a Set Departure holiday. Or, you come with your own party of family and friends on a personally designed Private Holiday.
In every case, once you reach the designated airport of arrival, you will be met and from that moment completely looked after.
These holidays are known for their excellent cuisine inspired by the Arbuthnott wives who ensure that there is always an imaginative variety of food and delicious wines.
The prices of these holidays are so fully inclusive that once you arrive money is only required for gratuities and presents to bring home.
"One of the many pleasures of this experience, and one for which we came back, was the delicious Spanish food, much of it cooked by Jane herself, and in particular her delicious picnics. I have wonderful memories of grilled quail and white almond soup, fresh anchovy fillets marinated in oil and garlic, Manchego cheese and quince jelly served with walnuts and sultanas swollen with powerful Spanish brandy." - Minette Marrin, The Spectator

The final numbers for the UFC on Fox 5 card are back, and it appears everybody should be happy with the result.
According to a report from Nielsen, the UFC on Fox 5 show averaged 4.4 million viewers over it's 2+ hour broadcast with a peak of 5.7 million viewers during the main event between Benson Henderson and Nate Diaz.
More MMA
Those are the best numbers for the UFC on Fox since their second event in January of this year when Rashad Evans took on Phil Davis in the main event. More than six million viewers tuned in for the top fight on that card, with an average of 4.7 million viewers overall.
The UFC on Fox 5 card also scored impressive numbers in the key 18-34 and 18-49 demographics, which is where most advertisers look in terms of money spent and future spending on a show or program.
UFC on Fox 5 scored a 4.0 rating among the 18-49 demographic and a 3.5 among 18-34 males, which means the show finished 3rd overall in the week for that key market behind only Sunday Night NFL football and The Simpsons.
The Fox broadcast also dominated the 18-49 male market overall for the entire night compared to the other major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS), and won out the overall night in adults from 18-49. Again, in terms of viewership and advertising, the 18-49 market is key and the UFC on Fox won the night in that regard.
The ratings trended upwards as the night wore on with the initial bout between Mike Swick and Matt Brown getting an average of 3.6 million viewers and peaking with the Henderson vs Diaz bout at 5.7 million.
The next UFC on Fox card will take place on Jan 26 in Chicago and will feature another title bout, this time with the flyweights taking center stage as Demetrious Johnson faces former Ultimate Fighter winner John Dodson.
That's what happens when you put a PPV card on network tv. The ratings will be good. Hopefully Dana and the UFC keep putting great cards like that on network tv.
How the ufc goes, so goes the world of mma. That's awesome to hear they are having continued success!
So funny how these websites try an build up tiny shows like bellator and superfight league and criticize dana and the ufc. That's the NFL of mma. Mma bread and butter

Unexpected Complications: Treating Cancer during Pregnancy
Trina Pockett of Fortuna, CA, was 23, the mother of a 2-year-old, and pregnant with her second child when she noticed a lump under her collar bone. The lump wasn't painful, so for a while she ignored it. When the lump didn't go away, she showed it to her doctor, who ordered an emergency biopsy.
The diagnosis was devastating. She had Hodgkin lymphoma, an immune-system cancer that is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in young adults. Because the cancer had already spread to her neck, chest, and stomach, her doctors advised starting chemotherapy immediately.
Pockett suddenly found herself a member of an extremely small club: the estimated 3,500 women in the United States who each year receive a diagnosis of cancer during pregnancy. For each woman and her doctors, the diagnosis creates an exquisite dilemma: delaying treatment may risk her life, but proceeding with therapy may risk harming her unborn child.
No Rigorous Studies
Cancer—most commonly breast cancer, cervical cancer, lymphoma, and melanoma—occurs in about one pregnancy in a thousand. Because cancer during pregnancy is a rare event, most doctors have encountered few if any cases, and the medical literature offers few rigorous studies to provide guidance.
"It's extraordinarily difficult to do meaningful research in patients with cancer who are pregnant," said Dr. Clifford Hudis, chief of the breast cancer medicine service at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, who estimates that in more than two decades of practice he has seen one pregnant patient with breast cancer "every year or 2."
In addition to the rarity of cancer in pregnancy, concerns about the risks of chemotherapy to the fetus pose a significant barrier to conducting clinical research in pregnant women with cancer, explained Dr. Ted Trimble, former head of gynecological cancer therapeutics with NCI's Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program.
"Most trial sponsors are not comfortable encouraging pregnant women to participate in a trial of any agent whose mechanism of action might cause birth defects or fetal death," Dr. Trimble said.
As more women delay childbearing until their 30s or 40s—ages at which cancer risk, while still low, begins to creep up—some researchers predict that cancer diagnoses during pregnancy will increase. Swedish researchers have estimated that the incidence of breast cancer diagnosed during pregnancy or within 2 years of delivery more than doubled between 1963 and 2002.
Toxic to DNA
Chemotherapy agents are known to cause malformations in laboratory animals. The risk of birth defects is highest during the first trimester of pregnancy when organs are forming.
"Chemotherapy agents are meant to interfere with rapidly dividing cells; they are supposed to be toxic to DNA," explained Dr. John J. Mulvihill, a specialist in cancer genetics at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.
—Dr. Elyce Cardonick
Since 1984, Dr. Mulvihill has maintained the Registry of Pregnancies Exposed to Chemotherapeutic Agents, which has accumulated data from the medical literature since 1950 on the outcomes of 845 pregnancies in women treated for cancer. "It's not great population-based data," he said. "It's more a collection of rare clinical experience.
"We do see an excess of malformations, 19 percent, with first-trimester exposure to chemotherapy," Dr. Mulvihill continued. "Exposure in the second and third trimesters seems to have no increased adverse effects except when therapy is given very late in pregnancy, when it can cause transient effects like low white-blood-cell counts."
Given the obstacles to conducting clinical trials in pregnant women, studies based on data from registries—with all their limitations—provide the best evidence available about outcomes for children prenatally exposed to chemotherapy, according to Dr. Trimble.
Reason for Optimism
"After the first trimester, the concern is less about birth defects and more about potential for impaired organ or brain function, since the brain continues to develop throughout pregnancy, " said Dr. Elyce Cardonick, a maternal-fetal medicine specialist at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, NJ.
Dr. Cardonick maintains the Pregnancy & Cancer Registry, which since 1997 has compiled information on nearly 300 pregnancies in women with cancer, and is following 247 mothers and children over the long term. Findings from her studies and others offer some reason for optimism: In general, children prenatally exposed to chemotherapy do not appear to have higher rates of birth defects or developmental abnormalities than other children.
Mexican researchers closely followed 84 children whose mothers received chemotherapy for hematologic cancers during pregnancy, including 38 who were treated during the first trimester, for a median of 18 years. All the children were normal, physically and neurologically, and performed normally at school. Some gave birth to their own children, adding 12 second-generation offspring to the study cohort.
Premature birth is more likely than chemotherapy to impair the cognitive development of children prenatally exposed to chemotherapy, an international research group reported in September at a European oncology meeting. Of the 70 children they studied, who ranged in age from 18 months to 18 years, 47 were born prematurely. Although most of the children were normal, most of those with cognitive development problems were born early.
Lead researcher Dr. Frederic Amant, of University Hospitals Leuven in Belgium, said it was not clear whether chemotherapy caused the early deliveries, but in many cases preterm delivery was induced. "Our results suggest [inducement of early delivery] should be avoided," he said.
At the 2011 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual meeting, Dr. Jennifer Litton, a medical oncologist specializing in breast cancer at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, reported on 41 children born to women who were treated during the second or third trimester with a standardized multidrug chemotherapy regimen in a prospective registry trial.
Overall, the children, now ages 1 to 21, are doing well, she said. Three to four percent have birth defects, equivalent to the national average for children not prenatally exposed to chemotherapy. The cohort has now increased in size to nearly 90 children, whom Dr. Litton and her colleagues are still following.
The M. D. Anderson study has enrolled 81 pregnant women with breast cancer since 1989 and has used the same chemotherapy regimen of 5-fluorouracil, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide since its inception. Pregnant patients are generally treated with older anticancer agents because of a lack of safety data for newer therapies, according to Dr. Trimble.
Don't Ignore a Lump
Data from the Pregnancy & Cancer Registry indicate that in about one in five cases doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy before starting cancer treatment, according to Dr. Cardonick. Anecdotally, she has heard of pregnant women who didn't tell their doctors about a lump or other abnormality because they feared they would be advised to terminate the pregnancy.
"Women and oncologists need to know it's possible to successfully treat cancer while continuing with a pregnancy," she said. "Women should not be afraid to bring a breast mass or mole to their doctor's attention.
"Most oncologists want to treat the patient as if she's not pregnant, and, for the most part, in the second and third trimester, they can," she continued. "But they need to make some adjustments. For example, you should not give chemo after the 34th week of pregnancy because, if the patient goes into labor while her white blood cell counts are low, the baby could be born with neutropenia."
Trina Pockett's doctor suggested she consider termination but supported her decision to continue with the pregnancy. She underwent four cycles of chemotherapy before her daughter, Kate, was born 6 weeks prematurely. After the birth she completed chemotherapy, followed by radiation treatment.
She has been cancer-free since 2001. Kate, who spent nearly 4 weeks in neonatal intensive care, is now a healthy 11-year-old who aspires to be a veterinarian. Pockett gave birth to a third child, Noah, in 2004.
In 2009, she achieved a personal goal when she competed in a half-marathon in San Diego. "To run in the same city where I had chemotherapy was very special," she said.

The June issue of Cleaning & Maintenance Management® magazine is now available online, featuring Mark Petruzzi''s Documentation: The Cornerstone Of The GS-42 Audit article.
Petruzzi stated that GS-42, Green Seal''s Environmental Standard for Cleaning Services, is a certification program providing building service contractors (BSCs) and in-house service providers (ISPs) with objective and meaningful guidance to help them develop a green cleaning program.
He noted that usually, the trepidation cleaning managers experience is simply a case of not understanding the process, what the auditor is looking for and what his or her role really encompasses.
Petruzzi added that the Green Seal certification process is best described as a partnership; instead of a punitive approach or a rubber-stamped "re-submit" when documentation isn''t quite up to par, the auditor works with the applicant to smooth out any bumps.
According to Petruzzi, GS-42 certification helps create a stronger, more disciplined organization; proper documentation is the first step in building that organization.
Mark T. Petruzzi is the vice president of certification and strategic relations for Green Seal Inc.

Dear Southwestern University Alumni,
Southwestern alumni live full and productive lives. I suspect that if I asked what you have scheduled this week, most of you would have calendars crowded with commitments.
Between work, civic engagement and family life, you frequently have to make tough choices about how you spend your time. The Association of Southwestern University Alumni is aware of the demands of daily life and we want to deliver programs and provide opportunities that allow you to stay in touch with Southwestern and one another in ways that really matter and enrich your life.
Take Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, Nov. 79, for instance. Homecoming and Reunion Chair Margaret Blair Fitzgerald 01 and the Alumni Council have focused on creating a weekend brimming with events where you can socialize, exercise, learn, network, relax and celebrate. Weve broken attendance records at Homecoming and Reunion Weekend the last two years and we expect this year will be the biggest yet.

Britney Spears has already has already grabbed enough headlines in Las Vegas — lest you forget, she married childhood friend Jason Alexander there in 2004, and celebrated her engagement to Jason Trawick (as well as her 30th birthday) at the Planet Hollywood Casino and Hotel last December. But Brit's most memorable experience in Sin City might be as a resident headliner at the Hard Rock Hotel.
Rumors of Spears having her own Las Vegas residency began last year after a performance at the Palms. According to Las Vegas Journal Review, the pop star's manager Larry Rudolph has been in talks with Hard Rock Hotel for the rumored X Factor judge to have her own residency, though the length of the residency (and the amount of money she'd earn) was not mentioned. "The queen of pop will be the queen of the Hard Rock if all goes according to plan," says a source.
Honestly, Vegas is more than appropriate a setting for a Britney stage show. If you saw the Femme Fatale tour, it was full of costume changes, larger-than-life set-pieces, loads of dancing (from her backup dancers if not from Brit herself), a campy, over-the-top tone, and, most importantly, hit songs that people love. The real question is, why didn't this happen sooner?

Just over half of Christians don't believe that drinking beer in moderation is morally wrong, according to a survey conducted by ChristiaNet.
The survey of 5,200 Christians found that 51 percent endorsed moderate drinking, while 38 percent believed that drinking beer in any amount is morally wrong; 11 percent said they were unsure.
Respondents on both sides quote Scripture and Bible stories to support their positions, with one supporter saying, "If drinking a little bit is wrong, then why did Jesus drink wine?," while an opponent quoted Proverbs 20:1: "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."
"Christ warns of the results of drunkenness," noted Bill Cooper, president of ChristiaNet. The website recently unveiled an Addiction Quiz for site visitors.

The Antigonish Review
Number 139
Autumn 2004
The question of national literature is never without debate, and in Canada there's always plenty of discussion going on about what it means to be truly Canadian. While the debate doesn't end with The Antigonish Review, it's a very good place to begin it. I find much of the literature here to be decidedly traditional: it belongs to the outdoors, to fishing and heron spotting and crafting driftwood into spirit masks. Like Anita Lahey's "Cape Breton Relative," these works paint a colorful but sometimes sobering portrait of a rural landscape distinctly belonging to Canada (or at least Nova Scotia and, on occasion, Vancouver Island). But this is "Canada's Eclectic Review," and there are also many fine turns and surprises. In "Impaired," Devin Krukoff hits an emotional chord by viewing the world through the eyes of suffering: "The moon is split clear through the center, / a severed tongue on the plate of my window, / while across the world the sun climbs over Africa, / a continent shaped like a spear." Kevin McPherson's story "On Stilts" finds a man on the edge of his sanity after his wife's death in a car crash, using long, run-on fragments to convey grief and vengeance: "My legs threaten to betray me they want to go AWOL head for the fence but I force them back in line." And Thomas Trofimuk's "unfolding" is a passionate and strange tale of a poetic one-night stand whose nervous rush still makes it hard for me to let go. As it turns out, there's a worthwhile reading venture to be had here. [The Antigonish Review, St. Francis Xavier University, Antigonsh NS, Canada B2G 2W5. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bellingham Review
Volume 28
Number 1 Issue 55
Spring 2005
An incredibly strong awards issue with work that is funny, moving, surprising, and memorable, and, though I mean this in the most positive way imaginable…strange. If you're tired of coming-of-age poems or skeptical about poems that work to be humorous, Christopher Bursk's "E Pluribus Unum" (chosen by Lucia Perillo for the 49th Parallel Poetry Award) will forever alter your view of poems about adolescence and the use of humor in poetry. Creative Nonfiction Judge Paul Lisicky says Bonnie J. Rough's winning essay, "Slaughter: A Meditation Wherein the Narrator Explores Death and the Afterlife as Her Spiritual Beliefs Evolve," "shines with its fusion of gravity and wackiness." And indeed it does, thanks to Rough's carefully balanced tone and the intersection of the real and the imagined. It's hard to remember, happily, that this is a work of nonfiction, which makes it all the stranger, and all the more appealing. Bernadette Smyth's award-winning story "Kissing" is not so much strange as disturbing. Judget Rosina Lippi praises the way the story employs both compassion and detachment. That detachment is created by a masterful control of emotion and economy of language that treats a difficult and dangerous subject (sexual abuse) with a kind of haunting lyricism.

The Cincinnati Review
Volume 1 Number 1
Spring 2004
This handsome new journal, from its burnished full-color matte art-adorned cover (beautiful work by painter Gaither Pope) to the last page, left a surprisingly pleasant impression. The roster of contributors includes a diverse but impressive set of writers, including David Lehman, Beth Ann Fennelly, and Pulitzer-winner Robert Olen Butler, just to name a few. I especially enjoyed Aimee Nezhukumatathil's poem "At Medusa's Hair Salon." Here's an excerpt: "…I say to Henri, Cut it, // cut it all. It's clear no one in the salon knows / how Medusa even became a Gorgon;…who would want her hair cut to stun / men into giant concrete tongues, lapping / for air." I also very much enjoyed the poem that answers that largest of questions, "Why So Many Poets Come From Ohio," by Margo Stever, especially the line about "why shopping malls built to last / for centuries." In the review section, the editors took the unusual tack of having three reviewers review the same book, Elizabeth Costello by J.M. Coetzee, stating: "The Cincinnati Review will, in every issue, publish multiple reviews of the same book in the hope of presenting a rich and disparate commentary on the work." These three reviews, and the reviews by Averil Curdy of the six finalists for the 2003 Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize, throw no softballs – expect demanding critical rigor. For instance, here is a part of Curdy's assessment of Dean Young's Skid: "Moments of genuine emotion or pathos are undercut by irony, a little like the class clown who can't say 'I love you' to the prom queen without masking his vulnerability with jokes and magic tricks." I am looking forward to great things from this ambitious new entry to the literary magazine marketplace. [The Cincinnati Review, P.O. Box 210069, Cincinnati, Ohio 45221-0069.

Volume1 Issue 4
January 2005
When a magazine reaches its fourth issue, it's safe to say that the editors have learned how to bridge their own literary vision with a corresponding body of work. Time will tell how long Cranky stays in the business, but it has more than cleared the hurdle of becoming "Just Another Poetry Mag." In addition to the traditional verse, Cranky offers prose poems, flash fiction, book reviews, poetry/art collaborations, and everything in between. Jay Thompson's profile of Richard Kenney made me want to study his acclaimed collections even at the risk of getting lost in their complexities. Kenney's poetry, Thompson writes, "marries a formalist's precision to [...] a fascination with the 'rattle and bang' of Celtic and Middle English poetry, and his own erudition," and while Kenney's recent poems appear more satirical than fascinating, at least his backlog of publications is enough to whet the appetite. Where do you go from there? Molly Tenenbaum achieves a moment of truth in "How Long Does it Take For You to Write a Poem?" ("Long as the day is short, / as in so, as in too."); Randy Prunty's rapid-fire "delusiveness in consideration of my hands and knees" makes cohesion out of randomness and humor; Kary Wayson's sing-song "Can Be Jackets, Can Be Bees" is a challenge not to read out loud; etc. etc. Take your pick. Fine coffeehouse reading in and out from a magazine with too much caffeine. [Cranky, 322 10th Avenue E. #C-5, Seattle, WA 98102. E-mail: email@example.com.

Fine Madness
Issue 29
I realize that, as far as profits go, lit mags are like lemonade stands among the blue chips of the publishing industry, but I'm no better than the next guy: I don't think twice about a 60-page booklet with a seven-dollar price tag. Fine Madness, however, may have changed my mind. These sixty pages of poetry are by no means a breeze to navigate. They are packed with long, often complex poems that deserve separate readings. There are translations from Swedish, Lithuanian and Russian poets, the last of whom was said to have passed his writings on by word of mouth for fear of Stalin. There's a moment in Alice Derry's "Beech" that also captures tyranny, employing a simple word game to bring out the chill in the forests of Buchenwald, "not the high ee and steady chug of ch, / but how the hollow of pure ooo, / reaching into the throat for the breathy German ch, / is wind in the highest branches." On a lighter "note," Estill Pollock's "Preludes for Prepared Piano" are a pastiche of literary history with a strong aleatoric dose inspired by the John Cage contraption. And the title of Tina Kelley's musing, "On the Collection of 70 Pairs of Shoes Filled with Butter Found by Hunters in Jaemtland, Sweden, on October 5, 2003," actually belies its overall whimsicality. Fine Madness is proof positive that inventive poetry can still elicit a response from anyone. A worthy investment, after all. [Fine Madness, P.O. Box 31138, Seattle, WA 98103-1138.

Florida Review
Volume 29 Number 2
Fall 2004
Billy Collins' gracing the opening of this issue with three wonderful poems is almost an added bonus, because The Florida Review is already filled with outstanding writers whose names may not be recognizable but whose work is surely a sign of things to come. "Unfound" by Matthew Sullivan is one of the best short stories I've yet encountered in the little magazines: a work of mystery, romance, culture shock, and family secrets that transcends all genres. What does one strange photograph mean to Ricket, an American with one friend dying in California and another with a hidden past in New Zealand? Once Sullivan grabs you with the image, it's hard to stop reading. The six additional short stories in this issue include "Camouflage Fall" by Adam Schuitema and "The Hunter" by Jubal Tiner, both hunting narratives that use different perspectives to achieve pathos. I enjoyed the poetry of Jolene Heathcote for its fascination with history, with the genesis and exodus, it seems, of civilization. "[W]hen I rest, my body / dreams itself an embankment / of gunfire and shrapnel / and electromagnetic radiation," she writes in "Euphrates River Valley," appealing to both the historical and the contemporary modes of warfare, perfectly relevant without being political. Also included: three poems by Dionisio D. Martinez, whose bold stanzas run off the page. And for creative nonfiction lovers, Timothy Bascom's memoir "And I'll Fly Away" is a must. If you like your lit without the academic criticism and polemic, be sure to add The Florida Review to your reading list.

New England Review
Volume 26 Number 1
The New England Review is a larger-than-usual 7"X10" magazine, and with good reason: you're likely holding in your hands one of the half-dozen best quarterlies out there. I don't know where to begin with my impressions. I could take the international perspective: an interview with filmmaker Lars von Trier, a study of Orwell's personal library, a zany around-the-world short story on the intellect by Gregory Blake Smith. Perhaps I could add a historical dimension: a translation of Heloïse, she of the great Medieval tragic romance; an essay from the archives of the always witty G.K. Chesterton; an avant-garde tale by the surrealist René Crevel. I can point to the fiction: the ever-entertaining Steve Almond is in here, as is Ronlyn Domingue with a story, "Broken Silence," that tugs the strings of suspense with such agility among a childless man, his possibly pregnant wife and his terminally ill nephew, that I couldn't stop asking "What if?" when I read it. Failing all these, I can accentuate the contemporary issues the New England Review addresses: new artists, new novels, the revolution of online education. Academic or not, you're guaranteed to find something in NER perfect for kicking back and relaxing with. Grand as it is, it's the space filled by the reader's interest that rewards the most.

North Dakota Quarterly
Volume 71 Number 4
Fall 2004
It might behoove the honorable editors of North Dakota Quarterly to realize that this magazine too closely resembles a college catalog from the outside. (It probably doesn't help that one can open up and find a registrar-esque listing of grad school dissertations!) Don't be fooled: NDQ is a university publication, and its Dakota origins are evident in its academic reviews, but there's enough literature of all kinds to appreciate in it. The creative essays are plentiful, one after another on a variety of subjects: personal memories of the Verrazano Bridge, Berkeley during the age of the Beats, an American teaching creative writing to French students. Peter Selgin, who may be my newest favorite fiction writer of the moment, has a brief piece in here, "The Man in the White Car," a hallucinatory story told by a seemingly unreliable narrator with a surprising moral twist at the end. Among the poetry, Leslie Adrienne Miller's work radiates with palpable experiences of womanhood, cultural observation and language. In "Speaking of the Devil," she writes about English: "[T]oo many people live in its center, / and the environs are losing population fast. / Few are interested in leaving the inner cities of language, // so each tongue shrinks, deletes its consummate / geographics, copse and dell, ravine and fen, / boonies, coolies, bailiwicks, and sloughs." Words are all we've got, as Beckett told us, and what a surprise to discover how deep language can be. NDQ may not dazzle, but it gets the job done.

Volume 14 Number 1
Winter/Spring 2005
This glossy black-and-white journal of poetry, prose and art work showcased some fantastic photography of human female subjects in Old Havana, Cuba, by Karen Keating (especially moving: a portrait called "Fidel's Granddaughter," a wide-eyed toddler with her hand on her hip, and "Teenager on Cuba Street," a pensive girl in a tight, revealing outfit) as well as literary work of equal merit. Particularly interesting was a non-fiction piece on the tragic life of Modigiliani's final mistress by Jacqueline Kolosov, "Seule: The Story of Jeanne Hebuterne, Modigliani's Last Mistress." I am particularly drawn to stories of artist's muses, I admit, but the writing in this piece was so elegant and empathetic that anyone would be drawn to it. A few lines from Kolosov's account: "Modigliani returned to Jeanne. For a time, he belonged to her alone. Seule. They walked through the village streets. They ate tangerines. Jeanne sewed clothes for herself and for her child. She felt safe in his arms-à l'abri-sheltered." Also beguiling was a fiction piece by Catherine Dryden, "Talking Backwards," about a sick boy and his mother and their cryptic conversations about his father, among other subjects. The expected "feminist" subjects appear here: relationships between daughters and mothers, women's aging, lesbianism…but many of the pieces transcend the expected, especially the visual work in this issue, which I kept returning to, transfixed by their beauty and ability to capture personality on the page. Definitely a solid read and a journal to search for unexpected bits of grace. [So to Speak, George Mason University, 4400 University Drive, MS 2D6, Fairfax, VA 22030-4444. E-mail: email@example.com.

Southwest Review
Volume 89 Number 4
Southwest Review is already one of the most established journals in the U.S., but this issue receives a commemorative boost with the recent passing of the great Arthur Miller: "The Turpentine Still," one of his last works, is included here. Through the eyes of Levin, a 1950's ex-radical, the novella ventures into the pine mountains of Haiti around one American's quixotic dreams of industrializing the country. Thirty years later, in search of meaning and companionship, Levin returns to find out what became of the whole affair. Miller breaks no grounds here—indeed, he's gotten extensive mileage out of socioeconomic themes in his career—but the polished story is a fitting farewell, a memento from the pen of an aged humanist who's seen a promising but tumultuous century come and go. Elsewhere in SWR, expatriate Michael Blumenthal uncovers the unfriendly side of Europe, and Georgina Kleege reenacts the left and mind of Darwin as he devises a certain theory, both excellent essays. Limited poetry, but uniformly good: Jay Rogoff crafts a villanelle in "Midair" ("a dance that ends in midair doesn't end / not even when the curtain must descend") and Julianne Buchsbaum crafts barren images ("flies / from carnage in the tar-patched road", "the river wrapped like a scarf / around the city's neck") into "Variations on a theme beginning with darkness." In all, a strong selection at a good price. [Southwest Review, Southern Methodist University, P.O. Box 750374, Dallas, TX 75275-0374. E-mail: email@example.com.

Issue 40
StoryQuarterly magazine is neither a quarterly nor really a magazine. Rather, it is an annually published tome of fiction. Issue 40 clocks in at 563 pages, almost triple the average lit mag length and about the same price. You might assume that with so much fiction it couldn't fail to have enough good work to justify the price, and you would be correct. There are several good short-shorts here such as Nathan Alling Long's somber "Between" about a son who only knows his father through the prison bars when he visits once a month. Steve Almond has an interesting one titled "At Age 91, Anna Smolz of the Gmersh Unit Speaks." This issue also includes a great group of color photos all taken in the Midwest as well as a long interview between Tom Stoppard and Charlie Rose. However, my favorite piece in StoryQuarterly 40 was Rebecca Curtis' idiosyncratic, pseudo-fairy tale, "The Wolf at the Door." Here is a snippet to catch your interest:
"It's locked!" I said. "It counts as locked!"
"All right," the wolf said. "It counts as locked."
I could see him standing outside the door with his arms crossed. He became a wolf, then a lion, then gave up and became a man. "But open the door for a second," he said. "We just want to ask you something." [StoryQuarterly, 431 Sheridan Rd., Kenilworth, IL 60043. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. Single issue $12. www.storyquarterly.com] – Lincoln Michel
Terra Incognita
Number 5
I wish there were more "international journals" and am pleased to see that this one has survived another year to bring us a fresh new issue. An eclectic and generous editorial vision brings together spectacular photographs of Palenque on the Atlantic coast of Colombia by Oscar Frasser with a respectful view of the "precarious and disadvantageous conditions" of the region, a previously unpublished interview with Paul Bowles (who died in 1999) conducted by Ramon Singh, a journalist, fiction writer, and teacher of American literature who currently lives in Greece, elegant, powerful drawings of the human form by award-winning artist Jeffrey Barrera of Madrid, as well as poems, prose poems, stories, a scholarly essay, a political manifesto, and other offerings in the "galería del arte." I was particular taken with a beautiful poem by George Kalamaras, "Drinking Tea at a Silk Shop During Monsoon with Sons of an Independence Fighter." Kalamaras unleashes the power of lyrical language in the service of a good and important story. As always, one of the issue's finest assets is competent, often exquisite translations (Spanish/English, English/Spanish). If I were to happen upon this work without knowing it had been translated, I would not guess I was not reading the "originals." [Terra Incognita, P.O.

Third Coast
Issue 20
Spring 2005
Interviewers Amanda Rachelle Warren and Roy Seeger ask terrific questions of Mary Ruefle whose terrific answers include this characterization of a writer's work: "…an artist…is on a very personal journey in an extremely un-personal world." Fortunately, the sixteen poets, seven fiction writers, and three creative nonfiction contributors represented here know how to link the personal and "un-personal" to bring us work that is both fresh (as in honest and authentic) and refreshingly free of gimmicks and empty rhetorical devices. And, as always, Third Coast deserves special mention for publishing brief, but useful reviews of new books ignored or overlooked by most other magazines. Standouts this issue are personal essays by Margot Singer and Stephen Gutierrez, both attempts to understand fathers in their real and imagined "greatness." In "La Muerte Hace Tortillas," Gutierrez turns ordinary speech and a conversational, personal tone into a well crafted, fast moving narrative with smart rhythms and perfect timing. Singer's "Secret Agent Man" is a clever examination of her father's secret past—was her father a spy? "You can poke your finger through a spy. He will scatter, like ash." The personal and un-personal come together in the quintessential riddle of our parents: they're never who we think they are or who they said they were.

Virginia Quarterly Review
Volume 81 Number 2
Spring 2005
"I dreamed in a dream I saw a city invincible to the attacks of the whole / of the rest of the earth,"—could any "dead poet" be more, for lack of a better word, relevant? It's not hard to understand why VQR has devoted a whole (glorious and gorgeous) issue to honor Walt Whitman on the 150th anniversary of the publication of Leaves of Grass. The issue includes essays of various styles, lengths, and intents from twenty-five American poets and writers and five beautifully reproduced sets of photos of Whitman with commentary by Ed Folsom, adapted from the gallery section of the Walt Whitman Archive. The essays are marvelous reading, illuminating Whitman's work as they explore everything from the current state of activism in the poetry world (Sam Hamill), to a personal experience of immigration (Meena Alexander) as an experience of poetry, to one writer's consideration of her Southern roots (Natasha Trethewey). From in-depth analysis of Whitman's work and his mark on American life and letters (by Mark Doty, Richard Tayson, Kenneth M. Price and others), to brief, personal, lyrical impressions of Whitman's meaning for their own work and lives (Rafael Campo, Jane Hirshfield, Charles Wright), the issue is a fitting tribute to Whitman. Gregory Orr's poem, "Concerning the Book that is the Body of the Beloved" opens the volume in apt, Whitmanesque style: "Oh, the world, the world, / What eye is wide enough?"

Water~Stone Review
Volume 7
Fall 2004
A hefty annual publication, Water~Stone Review has been significantly improved—the font is now large enough to read comfortably, no small consideration with four dozen poems, five stories, eight essays, four interviews, and several book reviews. This year's offerings include work from such firmly established writers as Elizabeth Alexander, Alison Hawthorne Deming, Ray Gonzalez, Eavan Boland, John Edgar Wideman, and Judith Kitchen, along with a large number of lesser known and emerging talents. It could take a diligent reader the full year until next fall's issue to get through this one! There's a lot here to take in, including an unusual interview (and excerpts from her journal) with Arctic traveler and explorer Ann Bancroft and an interview with the ever-entertaining, award-winning writer Kate diCamillo, best known for her young adult novels, though she does not write exclusively for children. One of this issue's highlights is Eavan Boland's brief essay on Edna St. Vincent Millay. Aware that Millay's work is "contested," generally considered not to have made a serious contribution to American poetry, Boland finds the work worth "revisiting" and approaches Millay's poems as "a place of meanings." The spaces Millay opened, she argues, "should not lie unused," as much of what is contained in Water~Stone should not go unread.

Air Quality Challenges in Texas
Ozone Standards
On Jan. 7, 2010, the EPA proposed a range for a new primary ozone standard designed to protect public health, of between 0.060 to 0.070 parts per million (ppm)—down from the 0.075 ppm level adopted by the EPA in 2008. Twenty-eight counties have monitor readings that are above the lowest range of the proposed primary ozone standard of 0.060 ppm.
The TCEQ has formally commented that the lower standard does not offer significantly better health protection than the 1997 standard of 0.08 ppm.
"The EPA's own data supports a conclusion that a standard of 85 ppb is protective," says Chairman Bryan W. Shaw, Ph.D. "This EPA decision provides the illusion of greater protectiveness, but with no regard for cost, in terms of dollars or in terms of the freedoms that Americans are accustomed to."
"This new proposed range will cause unwarranted concern in areas currently in attainment. There is no doubt we strive to make the air cleaner through our permitting process and a variety of other programs; but the goals set by the EPA must be achievable," says Commissioner Buddy Garcia. "The purpose of the Clean Air Act is to protect human health and the environment, not to attain an arbitrary threshold."
"The Texas Legislature has invested more than $1 billion in programs that have resulted in significant reductions in mobile source emissions, mobile sources that the federal government prohibits us from regulating. This is necessary because Texas is penalized for ozone nonattainment that is caused in large part by these mobile source emissions that the state cannot regulate," says Commissioner Carlos Rubinstein. "This new proposed range from the federal government will cause urban areas across America that have automobiles, sunshine, and variable summer winds to contemplate what is reasonably left to do to reduce these ozone concentrations."
The EPA also proposed to establish a distinct cumulative, seasonal, "secondary" standard, designed to protect sensitive vegetation and ecosystems. The EPA proposed to set the level of the secondary standard within the range of 7 to 15 ppm-hours. This new standard would add weighted hourly ozone concentrations across all days in a three-month period of the year when ozone concentrations are highest. Twenty-three counties have monitor readings above the lowest range of the proposed secondary ozone standard of 7 ppm-hours.
CO2 Regulations
The EPA also recently announced its intent to regulate carbon dioxide (CO2). Despite the TCEQ's opposition to the CO2 regulation, the agency is working to ensure that states' interests are protected if the regulations proceed. The greatest concern about greenhouse gas regulation is that these regulations would increase the cost of energy and consequently, the cost of almost everything Americans consume. Other concerns include the possibility of regulations affecting jobs in the U.S. Measuring the effectiveness of any CO2 regulation in reducing global temperatures is another complex challenge facing regulators and policy makers.
Barnett Shale
Oil and gas drilling in the Barnett Shale area in and around Fort Worth has grown rapidly in the last few years and, for the first time, large-scale gas production is taking place in more urban environments. The TCEQ has increased investigations and research in the area; is pushing the oil and gas industry to quickly reduce emissions; and is evaluating the need for changes in permitting requirements for oil and gas operations. Extensive monitoring studies in the Barnett Shale area have been completed by the TCEQ.
"Texas already has some of the most stringent emission standards in the United States," says Chairman Shaw. "It is the goal of each and every one of us at the TCEQ to ensure a clean and safe environment for all Texans in the most efficient and economic manner possible. We will meet the challenges that lie ahead. We will achieve our goals by continuing to incorporate the latest scientific research and methods, together with cutting-edge technology, to strategically investigate, evaluate, and improve the air quality for the citizens of Texas."
