Monday, April 11, 2011
Last Monday I had an early start and was coming home from some grocery shopping when a wraithlike blur appeared to my right. You have that inner voice in your head to tell you that something is wrong even while it's happening and so I slammed on the brakes and jerked my wheel hard to the left.
A small-size pickup truck had run a stop sign from a side street in the neighborhood and smashed into the front of my car. I remember being surprised at myself that I didn't curse while it was all happening but let out an elongated "Ohhhhhhhh" while trying to control my car and in that amount of time my car had been struck, was being pulled along and finally stopped, destroyed. I was five blocks away from my house. The end of the Summerfest 5K, which at the time was a personal best for me last year, is just beyond this spot.
When my car came to a stop I smelled a dusty, chemical, smell. My air bag had deployed and I could see myself just staring at it. My head hadn't come in contact with it but my right hand had a rectangular welt from it bursting forth.
A week later, it still strikes me as something hard to figure out. It's like those hands where the money flies into the middle of the pot and you never see the rest of the cards until the dealer is pushing the pot to someone.
And just like a poker hand, I can think what if a second here or a second there but that doesn't matter. Reaction -- and a bit of luck -- are the reasons why neither I nor the other driver were injured. It's a good lesson for me that nothing in life can be taken for granted.
I'm thinking of this now, a week later, because the other driver's insurer called me today to say they are taking liability for the total loss of my vehicle.
When I bought that car in 2006 I thought at the time that I was going to have it for a long time. I really needed a car then, as my old one was breaking down. So many buy-ins from my bankroll went into it. Even more went in 2009 when I paid it off a year early.
I guess in a way that money has come back to me as I've been reimbursed for the wreck and am soon to buy a new catmobile.
And just like a hand, the money is immaterial. It's the sequence of events -- and its conclusion -- that always has you thinking about what happened.

glad you're ok, dude. sucks about the car, but obv could have been much worse things to happen. at least you get a new car out of it.

As you mentioned, you got out of it okay, which is really the most important. Sometimes it takes an event like this to make us realize how quickly things can end ... and how thankful we should be for who we are and what we have.
Hope you got a decent settlement.

You're lucky the air bag didn't hurt you (worse). I had a coworker at a previous job who broke her collar bone and fractured a couple of vertebrae (she was in the pasenger seat) after bag deployment.

Some people need to tone it down on the perv-o-meter because they're ruining it for everyone else.
It's not unusual to see an artist crowd surf and then immediately wonder, "Wow, are people trying to touch them inappropriately? What if they don't mean to but that's what ends up happening?" Well, if the artist in question is Iggy Azalea, then you know for a fact they're doing more than that (and on purpose!).
The New Classic rapper stopped by New York City radio station Hot 97 to promote the release of her new album yesterday, and shared why she no longer crowd surfs during her shows anymore—and it's disturbing.
The 23-year-old Aussie revealed that she stopped doing the act because fans would try to put their fingers where they are not welcomed.
"I will get lurk tweets for like a week before my show, like 'I'm about to go to the Iggy Azalea show and I'm going to finger her,' and I'll see it and be like, please don't!," she said. "That's a violation. I don't actually like that stuff."
She continued, "Like, they think I'm real slutty, like 'Oh, she got a song called 'P---y,' I know what she wants. She wants these two fingers.' Why would I want a stranger to ever finger me? Buying my album for $12 doesn't mean you get to finger me when I come to your city."
What may be even more shocking? It's moreso the ladies than the fellas that try to do it. "The crazy thing is girls will try to do it the most," Iggy said. "Girls will try to do it more than guys because girls think it's cool, like, 'What? We both got vaginas. It's fine!' Doesn't make it OK."
Even though Azalea has vetoed the crowd-surfing idea, she still takes proper precautions by wearing two pairs of underwear and skin-colored tights underneath her pants as a "protective barrier."

The Space
This little farm-like home was built in 1949. Beautiful hardwood floors, simple interiors have been well-maintained and upgraded throughout the years. Settled on a side-walk-less street, surrounded by trees and views of the Mountains that cradle Ojai Valley. Birds from humming to blue jays, many whose names I don't know, sing their morning songs. This is a peaceful sanctuary of vibrancy. An invitation to stop, pause, hold still and deeply relax.
Guest Access
You will have access to the entire house (except host's bedroom) and yards. Relax sip your tea or coffee in the cool morning air along the dry creek-side of the house. Large umbrella and chairs are also there for your bird-watching and listening pleasure.
Interaction with Guests
As my longtime friend Cathy mentions in her Friend Reference, I am intuitive. Quiet and engaging. If you are interested in hearing my preferred eateries,etc I love to share and promote local merchants. I'm equally interested in hearing what brings you to Ojai. And a bit about your interests in general. Meditation and yoga practices are highly welcome. We can clear a space for you, for both if that appeals to you. Namaste!
The Neighborhood
Our neighborhood is friendly and community oriented. Before I moved in I was invited to my next door neighbors, Dave and Elizabeth's house warming celebration. That's friendly!!
I love the views of surrounding properties. Trees. Trees. Trees. The primary colors offered the viewer are varied shades of clouds, blue-hues and multitudes of greens.
It's spacious. Kids, adults pass by on their bikes. Folks say hello, good morning or stop for a brief chat.
When there's an event in the Village, you'll notice people dressed for the occasion. Walking to their destination. Be it Libbey Bowl or The Art Center on Montgomery. Or maybe simply strolling to have a good meal at a great downtown restaurant.
It's warm and friendly. With no sidewalks! Has a country-feel while being within this charmingly small town. Welcome to the Neighborhood!
Getting Around
You can walk to downtown from here. About a 10-minute walk. The Ojai Trolly stops are just down the street on Grand Ave. Trolly runs 7 days a week. Routes include: Ojai, Meiners Oaks and Mira Monte. Gold Coast Transit's bus depot is a short walk from here too.They offer fixed-route services in Ojai, Ventura, Oxnard and Port Hueneme. You can always bring or rent a bike! There are several great bicycle shops in town. Rails-to-trails routes are enjoyed by walking and cycling enthusiasts alike.
Other Things to Note
We are a non-smoking home. Smokers are welcome to enjoy outside areas where an ashtray will be provided. Let us know if you need this hospitality. Thanks!
Quiet is the atmosphere here. We ask Guests to enjoy electronic entertainment devices, (website hidden) calls, etc in the privacy of their room. Preferably with a headset or at the very least, at a low-volume.
Guests are asked to pick up and clean up after themselves. In the areas that they utilize or inhabit. For instances, hair in the bathroom, coffee grounds in the kitchen, etc. Thank you!

We immediately felt at home and would recommend Antoinette's if you're looking for a relaxing and affordable visit to Ojai!
Antoinette was the host for the last and recuperative stop on my tour of graduate schools in Southern California.
It was very clean, the bed was really comfortable, there was cross ventilation in the bedroom and plenty of storage space.
The neighborhood was quiet, safe and very comfortable, and our walk to downtown was easy and took less than 15 minutes.
Our homestay at Miss Antoinette's house is very pleasant and wonderful! Miss A is so kind to pick us up at Ventura Amtrak Station to her beautiful house. Her house is as beautiful as that in the pictures. We especially love the backyard of her house where we can enjoy the birds' singing in the morning, the beautiful sunset at dusk and twinkling stars at night. The room is very clean and cozy. Miss A is very kind, polite, friendly and welcoming. She is so knowledgeable and patient to give us a lot of information and guidance to our travel plans. Our little family communicate a lot with her. She makes us feel like at home. We have an amazingly great homestay experience! How we wish we could stay longer at her house! We will definitely stay at her house once again the next time we are in Beautiful Ojai! Highly recommended!
Antoinette was very respectful of our privacy and the place was quiet. Be sure to note there is a cat - in case you have allergies.
The house is very small and probably works well for one guest, not more. Very close quarters.
Antoinette was a great host. Very welcoming. Her place is oozing with Zen and the area is very quiet. All we did was sleep, shower and work in Ventura, so we didn't get much chance to hang out and learn about each other. Recommend her place, hands down.
Antoinette was lovely, friendly, welcoming and helpful without being clingy. The house was simple, clean and had everything I needed. I enjoyed the fresh berries and nuts Antoinette provided. My 3 day stay was relaxing and delightful.
I really enjoyed the quiet and peaceful atmosphere that Antoinette created in her home. The accommodations were exactly as described, there was plenty of privacy and very nice touches such as berry bowls and tea in the mornings. It was very nice to meet and connect with Antoinette, I definitely recommend this stay.
Antoinette was an exemplary host! The room as exactly as described, Ojai is a small town so everything was definitely walkable although I didn't do much walking. The house is clean and a bunch of essentials (shampoo, soap, wifi password) were provided.
Antoinette was kind enough to remember the reasons I was visiting Ojai (wedding + hike) and offered very useful advice regarding where to eat and see the natural beauty of the area. She always had a smile on her face and was available to chat when I had questions but also understanding of my tight schedule which prevented extensive interaction.
It's also useful to note that Antoinette is a big supporter of the Airbnb homesharing ethos. We talked about how she considers homesharing to be a way of strengthening community bonds and how she wrote her state representative and even spoke to lawmakers when they were considering harsh regulation of AirBNB in California. I think it's cool to stay with a host who cares so much about this evolving space.
Antoinette was warm, friendly and inviting. She was so helpful in finding information for public transport to my workshop and was always willing to answer any questions about where to eat. The house was clean and cosy.

The issue: Three missing women found in Cleveland
Our view: Once we recognize evil, we can learn and try to protect each other from it
The issue: Three missing women found in Cleveland
Our view: Once we recognize evil, we can learn and try to protect each other from it
Some of the good people of Cleveland's Seymour Avenue neighborhood are wrestling with their conscience today. They feel guilt-stricken about the part they think they unwittingly played in the tragedy that went on for years right under their noses.
They didn't know about the four hostages in their midst — three young women and the daughter born to one of them. But they say now that they should have known. Somehow, they should have known.
Cleveland was a joyous place Monday after the rescue of Amanda Berry, Georgina
DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who had been kidnapped and held in a Seymour Avenue home for 10 or more years. But amid the celebration, some neighbors told the media they feel sorrow or shame for not recognizing what, in hindsight, now seems deeply suspicious and strange about the house at 2207 Seymour and its owner.
They are discovering what cruel tricks hindsight can play. It can lead us to believe we should have known what we didn't know, what perhaps we couldn't have known. Like the neighbors on Seymour, most of us are no match for evil — for the brilliant shrewdness that instinctively takes advantage of our acceptance of people at face value, our assumption that things are as they seem, our wish to respect others' privacy.
But once we know the worst, nothing need prevent us from keeping our eyes open.
We can get to know our neighbors better and trust our instincts when something doesn't seem right. We can form neighborhood associations and plan activities, from block parties to cleanups, that bring people together and encourage them to look out for each other. We can develop the collective sense of responsibility for the children of our neighborhood that many of us remember from our own childhoods but that seems sorely lacking these days.
Something constructive can come of the guilt that is gnawing at some of the people who live on Seymour Avenue.
Their guilt is testament to their goodness. They can build a better neighborhood from it. We all can, if only we will.

SEC Storied film to feature UF's Abby Wambach
Former Florida Gators striker Abby Wambach will be the subject of ESPNU's eighth SEC Storied documentary, OGGOA has learned.
Abby Head On, which is set to premiere on May 15 at 8 p.m. on ESPNU, will be officially announced by the network later Monday. The film chronicles Wambach's collegiate career with the Gators, international accomplishments with the U.S. Women's National Team and quest to break Mia Hamm's international scoring record.
After surprising the soccer community by choosing to attend Florida over powerhouse North Carolina, Wambach led the Gators to four-straight SEC Championships (1998-2001), two Final Fours (1998, 2001) and an NCAA Championship (1998), which remains the soccer program's only national title to this day.
Individually while playing for UF, she was a two-time SEC Player of the Year (2000-01) and SEC Freshman of the Year (1998) who was also a four-time All-SEC First Team selection and three-time first-team All-American.
Wambach left Florida upon graduation as the school record holder in goals (96), game-winning goals (24), points (242), assists (49) and hat tricks (10); she maintains the No. 1 spot in each of those categories to this day.

ESPN Stats & Info @ESPNStatsInfo
Giants are 1st team in NFL history to lose first 2 games of season despite leading by 10 or more points in 4th quarter of each game (ELIAS).
Just watched the video, and I agree most with this comment (I'm also too lazy to articulate my own opinion on this, lol):
I felt the FOX interviewer was looking for a fight and not getting it. Reza is very capable with is background to write this book. The only way to understand a or your religion is to dive into another. That is college and master level courses 101. I am not sure what FOX's agenda was here but they she didn't even read his book nor look him up...no homework at all and was told to make him look bad...she failed.

A recent article carried by Reuters News Service reports that President Obama favors Gina McCarthy to replace Lisa Jackson as Administrator of the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency. In December, Jackson indicated a desire to step down from the position.
McCarthy currently heads EPA's Office of Air and Radiation. Prior to going to EPA, she led State environmental agencies in Massachusetts and Connecticut. These state agency positions included her involvement with the Northeastern states' Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. That, coupled with her current role in air policy and regulation at EPA, may signal that there is substance to the President's promise in his second inaugural speech to address climate change. Regardless, over her career, McCarthy worked for both Democrat and Republican governors. If she is nominated and confirmed for the position of EPA Administrator, this background may prove helpful in dealing with a Congress deeply divided over issues like greenhouse gas regulation.

Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un - 'Friends For Life!?'
"The former basketball star Dennis Rodman has told the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, "you have a friend for life", as the two men watched the Harlem Globetrotters and dined on sushi.
Rodman made his comments to Kim before a crowd of thousands on Thursday as they watched players from North Korea and the US face off in mixed teams, Alex Detrick, a spokesman for the New-York-based Vice media company, told Associated Press."*
Former NBA star Dennis Rodman took a puzzling trip to North Korea, and is now tweeting even more confusing statements of friendship with dictator Kim Jong Un? Does Rodman know what he's gotten into, or what the North Korean regime has done to its people? Cenk Uygur, Michael Hastings (Political writer, Buzzfeed), and John Iadarola (Host, TYT University) discuss.

WCPE Partner Radio Stations
We offer our programming without charge or royalty to stations who are not in a position to program their own stations around the clock. We believe it helps the local station gain a better listenership because they do not need to go off the air, and it helps us fulfill our mission to make Great Classical Music available to everyone 24 hours a day.
The stations receive our signal from standard audio subcarriers broadcast on the AMC-1 Satellites. Anyone with Ku-band (small dish) home satellite equipment can listen to us. Our signal is transmitted directly to the satellite over our own uplink; this ensures the best fidelity possible.
This service is offered as is, with all WCPE announcements and verbiage; in return, we offer a thirty second identification/promotional opportunity every hour and we offer to share any gifts from identified listeners to those carrying our audio. Read our Retransmission Consent. (FCC 76.64 Retransmission Consent doesn't restrict systems from carrying WCPE-FM because WCPE is a non-commercial station.)
If you are interested in hearing WCPE on one of your local radio stations, please contact us. Customer demand is the key to WCPE's Great Classical Music being heard in your area, so also be sure to let your local station know you wish them to carry WCPE.
For more information or assistance, please contact our Outreach Director, Curtis Brothers. Thank you!
Our current list of WCPE Partner Radio Stations across the country:
To the best of our knowledge, this list is up to date and accurate. However, the managements of these organizations can, and do, make changes to their channel lineups and program schedules without notifying WCPE.

Charleston Hideaway
March 2, 2015
I'm currently sitting in my office looking out of my window staring at mounds of powdery snow piling up. As I sit here bundled willing the snow to melt and the sun to shine, I'm daydreaming about warmer days to come, specifically sunny days to come on my trip to Charleston, South Carolina for The Southern C Summit! Since most of us in the US have been pretty chilly lately, I thought I'd share one of my favorite spots to soak up the sun and color of Charleston.
I Heart Preservation
February 10, 2015
Buildings need love too. In honor of Valentine's Day, this past Saturday I joined a group of preservation enthusiasts, professionals, and students to heart bomb a couple of buildings that were in need of a hug.
The idea behind these "heart bombs" is to raise awareness of the potential for vacant buildings while making advocacy visible and accessible. And sometimes they're a loving send off for buildings that have lost their battle. Continue reading "I Heart Preservation" »

Longwood Plantation: Natchez, Mississippi
April 3, 2014
Built in 1861, Longwood Plantation is the largest octagonal house in America, and one of the best remaining examples of Moorish Revival style architecture. This six-story, 30,000 square foot mansion was designed by Samuel Sloan of Philadelphia for wealthy planter Haller Nutt and his wife, Julia Williams Nutt. As the home neared completion, the Civil War broke out and construction halted. Haller nut died in 1864, and his wife Julia, and their eight children, continued to live in the finished first floor of the home for several years.
Longwood remained in the Nutt family until 1968. After a brief ownership of the McAdams family in Austin, Texas, the plantation and its 94 acres were donated to Pilgrimage Garden Club of Natchez in 1970. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1969, tours of Longwood are given daily every 30 minutes. Beginning on the finished first floor, guides share the Nutt family history as well as pieces from the permanent collection. The tour then moves to the upper levels where visitors can explore the "bones" of this architectural gem.
The completed house was to have had 32 rooms, 26 fireplaces, 115 doors, 96 columns, and a total of 30,000 square feet of living space, but only nine of the 32 rooms were finished. In the unfinished rooms you can see all the layers of construction, tools left behind by workmen, even luggage trunks that arrived for the family are still there just waiting to be opened. You can even see the framework of the sixteen-sided onion dome cupola inside.
A system of mirrors had been designed to reflect sunlight to the many rooms of Longwood from the windows in the sixteen-sided tower atop the house. The chimney-like shape of the house was intended to funnel warm air up toward the top of the cupola, creating an updraft that escaped through windows high in the building, thus drawing fresh air into the lower floors.
Showing off unfinished and deteriorating architecture, Longwood Plantation is not your typical house museum. In this case, seeing Longwood in its entirety, helps tell the story of the Nutt family and serves as a unique metaphor for the "rise and fall of the Old South." After touring the mansion, make sure you allow plenty of time to stroll the grounds and get lost under the oaks.
My good friend Claire Cothren, a natchezian and fellow blogger, introduced myself and a few other preservationists to Longwood Plantation several years ago and it is one of my favorite house museums to date. Spring and fall are ideal times to visit and enjoy perfect weather and pilgrimage season. Both spring and fall pilgrimage are month long celebrations of Natchez history with the crown jewels being the dozens of mostly private antebellum homes on tour for visitors. If you love architecture and history, a visit to Longwood and Natchez is a must.

Rainbow Bakery
March 25, 2014
The new (to me) vegan bakery in Bloomington, Rainbow Bakery, is full of color, mid-century mod fun, and pastries. I'm not a vegan by any means but I am a fan of baked goods. It doesn't hurt that this new kid on the block is located in a cool historic building downtown.
The building, now called I FELL, was built in 1930 by Isaac Fell. What was originally an Auburn Cord Duesenberg car dealership, is now home to the Rainbow Bakery, the Bloomington Clay Studio, The Collective Press and several other artist studios. More on the I Fell building next week.
Rainbow Bakery has only been open since August 2013, but they seem like a seasoned pros, cranking out a variety of muffins, breads, cupcakes, and donuts each day as well as your coffee bar favorites. Decked in mid-century finds, Rainbow Bakery captures the fun of baking. The decor and logo are just as cheery as their baked goodies. Retro formica kitchen tables line the cafe and funky globe and paper lanterns hang throughout the space. One of my favorite repurposed pieces is the 50s stove turned sugar and creamer station. The bakery nods to America's kitschy past while their food is an updated version of all your favorite treats. There is something for everyone each day: jumbo cinnamon rolls, vanilla lavender cupcakes, gluten free mushroom and sage scones, green tea donuts, the list goes on and on. Follow them on Instagram and you'll see what I mean.
German Village: Columbus, Ohio
March 17, 2014
Just south of downtown Columbus, Ohio lies German Village. This urban neighborhood filled with manicured gardens, beautiful homes, unique shops, and restaurants is an incredible example of how grassroots historic preservation efforts can save a neighborhood.
German Village was developed primarily between 1840-1914 and become home to a largely German population (hence the name) by the end of the 1950s. People spoke German in schools, stores, church and most professionals spent their leisure time in the neighborhoods various bier gartens. This village was a little slice of Germany for many immigrants.
A manufacturing zoning ordinance and two world wars had left the once thriving and solidly built neighborhood a slum. In the 1959, the entire village faced wholesale demolition, but a group of like-minded citizens under the direction of Frank Fetch, joined together to form the German Village Society. With preservation and rehabilitation as their main goals, the German Village Society were able to achieve both by changing the zoning ordinance, and ensured the neighborhoods protection by creating a local historic district. German Village was also listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Ironically, the same characteristics that urban renewal studies of Columbus used to describe "blight" are the very attributes that give German Village its unique and appreciated character today: small lots, narrow streets and the absence of new development.
"The German Village Society presently has nearly 1,000 preservationist-minded members who are dedicated to maintaining the historic quality of the buildings and neighborhood. As a result, German Village is currently considered one of the most desirable areas to live in the city, if not the premiere place in Columbus to live. More than 1,600 buildings have been restored since 1960, and it is credited as one of the most premiere restoration districts in the world. Today, German Village is a model of urban neighborhood preservation and revitalization – a nationally recognized success story. The average home price in the neighborhood is $377,450 and several are well over $1 million. The Village is mostly a residential neighborhood of sturdy, red-brick homes with wrought iron fences along tree-lined, brick-paved streets."
Charming homes and gardens aren't the only reason to explore German Village. This neighborhood is also home to a variety of locally owned businesses and restaurants. A couple of my favorites… Pistachia Vera and Hausfrau Haven. It doesn't get much better than pastries and wine.

Maxwell Hall
February 23, 2014
First known as Library Hall, Maxwell Hall was designed by George W. Bunting in the fashionable Romanesque Revival style. Constructed in 1890, it was the second location for the Indiana University library housing 60,000 volumes in the main reading room. In 1896, electricity was added to the building so the library could offer evening hours. By 1907, enrollment had increased enough to force the library to move to Franklin Hall.

This 4 arm study in patients with advanced Stage IIIb/IV non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) who failed at least one standard chemotherapy regimen will determine the proportion of patients with progression-free survival at 12 weeks following combination therapy with R1507 and Tarceva or placebo and Tarceva. Patients will be randomized to one of four treatment arms to receive R1507 (9mg/kg iv) or placebo weekly or R1507 (16mg/kg iv) or placebo every 3 weeks. Tarceva (150mg oral daily) will be administered in all treatment arms. Other disease-related endpoints including overall survival, objective response rate, time to response, time to progressive disease and duration of response will also be evaluated. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is <500 individuals.

The run game was a major emphasis for Cascia Hall in a dominating 31-7 win over Bethany in the Class 3A football quarterfinals in Bethany on Friday night.
Cascia Hall dominates Bethany, will face Heritage Hall next
The Commandos took to the ground early and often, hammering out 245 yards rushing.
"That's what we build our program on offensively," Cascia Hall coach Joe Medina said after the win. "We start with our defense, and our defense didn't give up a point tonight. We kicked the ball well, which the 47-yard field goal helped a bunch. Then when we get to offense, we're going to grind the ball out and run that clock and that's exactly what we did tonight."
Running the clock was key to the Commandos, who ran the ball 46 times and totaled 15 first downs in the game.
Cascia Hall senior fullback Hunter Hart opened scoring at 8:48 of the first quarter as the senior leapt over the trenches and into the end zone from two yards out. Erik Testa's kick was good, and the Commandos took a 7-0 lead.
The runner drew upon his experience against the Bronchos in last year's quarterfinals matchup to help him this season.
"Last year they just dove at my knees every single play," Hart said. "So I knew… It was a one-yard run I think or something like that. I knew they were going to dive so I just had to jump for the end zone."
The ground success continued for Cascia Hall in the second quarter when Abrm McQuarters bounced a run to the outside and cut in for the eight-yard touchdown.
Cascia made it 17-0 to close out the first half when Testa hit a 47-yard field goal down the middle of the uprights with 1:18 left in the second quarter.

SEATTLE, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A low-income woman receives vitamins to prevent birth defects of the brain and spine. A pregnant woman is educated on the link between periodontal disease and preterm and low birth weight deliveries and is then given the tools to improve her oral health. Asian- and Spanish-speaking women learn the signs of preterm labor.
These, and many more at-risk populations, are now being helped through local grants announced today by the March of Dimes. In all, seven organizations in Washington state received 2009 funds totaling $125,580. (See list of organizations below.)
"Our grants provide funds for grass-roots organizations that help women who are often unable to access the health care system or appropriate social services due to financial, language or other barriers," said Lisa Talbott, MPH, March of Dimes Program and Public Affairs Director. "We're grateful that our successful fundraising efforts, such as March for Babies, make it possible for us to support new community-based efforts to help more babies to be born healthy."
Helping Washington babies win
Last year in Washington state, 9,190 babies were born prematurely and each day, the March of Dimes was there to help them win. The March of Dimes carries out its mission of preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality through programs of research, community services, education and advocacy.
For example, in 2008, the March of Dimes successfully worked to add 15 additional disorders that are tested at birth. Washington state now screens for 27 conditions. All of these disorders have lifesaving treatments available which enable the baby to live a normal, healthy life. Through cutting edge research over the past three years, Washington Chapter of the March of Dimes invested $6,331,803 in research programs in Washington sta

June 30, 2006 The preliminary hearing for eight servicemen charged with killing an unarmed Iraqi in Hamdania has been postponed for several weeks. Meanwhile, many U.S. civilians are voicing support for the Marines and Navy Corpsman. Some are holding weekly demonstrations outside Camp Pendleton. For historian Michal Belknap, this has echoes of the My Lai episode, when both supporters and opponents of the Vietnam War rallied behind William Calley, for very different reasons.
