Congressman Elijah E. Cummings (D-Md.), Chairman of the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation, issued the statement below following a Subcommittee hearing on a report by the Department of Homeland Security's Inspector General that paints a bleak picture of the Coast Guard's marine casualty program; the report found that unqualified personnel are conducting marine casualty investigations, that the investigations are being conducted at inappropriate levels, and that there exists a substantial backlog of investigations due to ineffective management:
"This morning we witnessed another example of the pressing need to expand the size of the U.S. Coast Guard. We cannot expect any organization to operate at full capacity when it does not have the staff or resources necessary to do so. Operating at full capacity is especially important when dealing with critical issues such as the safety of our mariners, marine life, and property at sea. For this reason, the Coast Guard must perform a workload analysis to determine how many people it needs to properly fulfill its marine casualty investigation duties.
"Additionally, I fully support Chairman Oberstar's suggestion that the Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board reach a resolution regarding primacy when it comes to marine casualty investigations. The Coast Guard and NTSB must assess whether they can revise their existing MOU to adequately address this issue. Furthermore, I stress that any resolution in this matter must be reached in the most efficient and effective way, to ensure that marine casualty investigations yield all safety recommendations necessary to prevent future casualties.
"While the Coast Guard continues to be an outstanding organization whose critical missions and unrivaled service have contributed to our nation for more than 200 years, there are still areas—such as the marine safety program—that have room for improvement. The Members of the Subcommittee and I will continue working with the Coast Guard to facilitate the adjustments needed to allow the service to continue to effectively excel for years to come."

Hello! I am new here, this is my first month ttc. I have had spotting prior to my AF for several months now and testing has resulted in low progesterone. My ob wants to start me on Clomid tomorrow as I will be on day 3. Anyone else on Clomid for the same reason? What should I expect? I had my son in 2009 without any assistance, so this worries me!
Does anyone know if there is a difference between Clomid and the generic Metformin?
Any advice/support would be great!!

Getting to 950 in this isn't hard or time consuming.... getting that last 50 points is a grind.
I haven't played DW6 in a while, but here's what I said when I wrote the achievement guide:
"It is not a difficult achievement, it is a time consuming one. Allow me to break it down. There are 41 characters, who need a total of 2009 levels gained for this achievement. Let's assume, that doing the other 950 achievement points you got 4 characters to level 50 and 20 characters to level 20, which knocks 576 off the total needed. This leaves 1433 levels to gain. Let's assume you're using two controllers. Let's assume an average of two levels gained, per character, per scenario. Let's say you can complete a scenario (Loading screens, prep, fighting) every 5 minutes. 12 scenarios an hour, makes 48 levels an hour. Doing the math, this leaves you at just under 30 hours of grinding levels
at absolute maximum efficiency.
Doing 360 Castle He Fei speed runs in a row is not something one will likely be able to manage without severe psychological trauma."
You've got 1000 in Orochi 2... decide for yourself which sounds worse.

How accurate "Tea with Mussolini" is, I cannot say, but it is based on the autobiography of the film director Franco Zeffirelli, who directed and co-wrote it, so we can be sure it is true to what he remembers, or wants to remember. The film tells of a boy named Luca, born out of wedlock to a clothing manufacturer in Florence. His mother is dead, his father's wife visits him at school to hiss that he is a bastard, and his best friend is an old expatriate Brit named Mary (Joan Plowright), who has been hired to turn him into a perfect English gentleman.
As the film opens in the early 1930s, we are told, the Italians and the British have a mutual love affair. We see it reflected in the daily lives of a gaggle of eccentric British ladies of more than a certain age, who gather in Doney's Tea Room and at the Galleria Uffizi to gossip--about one another, mostly. After Luca's father orders Mary to return him to the orphanage, she finds she cares for him too much, and takes him instead to live with her. And thus young Luca is plunged into the intrigues and artistic passions of the "Scorpioni," which is the nickname for the British ladies with their stinging wit.
These ladies are played by a cast as eclectic as it is engaging. The grande dame of the Scorpioni is Lady Hester (Maggie Smith), the widow of the former British ambassador. The artistic soul of the group is Arabella (Judi Dench), who informs young Luca, "I have warmed both hands before the fires of Michelangelo and Botticelli." The most visible eccentric, in a congregation of flamboyance, is Georgie (Lily Tomlin), an archeologist who works among the ruins in pants and overalls that match her cheerfully lesbian inclinations. Mary seems almost average in this company, a sweet lady who supports herself by typing florid Italian into sensible English.
And then there is Elsa Morgenthal (Cher), an outlandish American who swoops in and out of Florence like a summer squall. She's an art collector, whose purchases are financed by a rich and absent husband (who is "too cheap to slip a poor girl a little Picasso"). Resembling Peggy Guggenheim, who made her headquarters in Venice, Elsa is loud, flamboyant, and unwise enough to fall in love with her chauffeur, a cad with patent-leather hair who sells her fake art, steals her money, and when the time comes, betrays her to the Fascists. The character of Luca is a little overwhelmed by all of these outsize personalities, and indeed the movie might actually have been better without him. Yes, Luca is supposed to be Zeffirelli, and the director is telling his own story--but he seems to inhabit it mostly as an observer. The two actors engaged to play Luca aren't given much to say, and although as a young man Luca joins the Resistance, that activity consists mostly of lurking behind trees and appearing when he is required by the plot. Zeffirelli may look out through Luca's eyes, but not into a mirror.
The ladies supply quite enough entertainment all on their own. Lady Hester charges off to Rome for tea with Mussolini, who assures her that she and her British friends have nothing to worry about, and then poses for photos that will be useful propaganda (ambassador's wife has tea with dictator, finds him a nice chap). Soon, however, the Brown Shirts are breaking the windows of the tea room, and the ladies are put under custody and shipped off to a mountaintop villa.
The movie is heavier with events than with plot. Things are always happening, but it's hard to see the connections, and the material involving Elsa's love affair, Lady Hester's draft-dodging grandson and Arabella's dog all coexists uneasily. (The draft-dodger hides from the Fascists by dressing in drag, only to finally snap, run into the street, cry out, "I'm a man!," strip off his dress, and join the Resistance.) Elsa, the Cher character, meanwhile ignores the dangers for a Jew in Italy, and makes unwise statements such as, "Musso? I think his butt's too big to push around the dance floor." I enjoyed the movie in a certain way, as a kind of sub-Merchant-Ivory mix of eccentric ladies and enchanting scenery. I liked the performances of the women (including Cher; people keep forgetting what a good actress she can be). I wanted to see more of Tomlin's bracingly frank archeologist. (Why do movie lesbians have to recite so much dialogue that keys off their sexuality?) But the movie seemed the stuff of anecdote, not drama, and as the alleged protagonist, Luca/Franco is too young much of the time to play more than a bystander's role. Zeffirelli of course grew up to direct better movies ("Romeo and Juliet," the Burton-Taylor "Taming of the Shrew," the Mel Gibson "Hamlet") and opera, and to speak flawless English.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

I grew up in the 1100 block of Bennett Avenue in the 50s as kind of a latchkey kid. My parents gave me $1.00 for breakfast,$0.25 for a school lunch at Bryant Elementary School, and $1.25 for dinner. My four haunts as far as restaurants as a pre-teen were these:
STELLA'S CAFE was next to Art's Barber Shop in the 4200 block on E. Anaheim. With the exception of the Club Steak [$1.09] and T-bone Steak [$1.29], every entre on the menu was $0.99 or less. And soup or salad, garlic cheese toast, and dessert was included in every meal.
STEAK N' STOKER was on the southwest corner of Bennett and Anaheim across Bennett from the ABC Liquor Store. That's where I ate my breakfast every weekday morning for years. And nothing was more than a dollar unless you substituted ham in for the bacon or sausage.
WHAT NOT CAFE was on the south side of Anaheim Street at approximately Mira Mar Avenue. The Wednesday night specials of spaghetti and meatballs or ravioli and meatballs was always a treat for $0.99.
NIC NAC CAFE was almost directly across Anaheim Street from the What Not. Although this later became first an Indonesian restaurant, and then an Italian restaurant, it was here that I developed a love for a good steak and baked potato.
#5 May 10, 2011
I am 61 years old and remember Mom taking me to the Nic Nac when I was just a kid. Only place in town with a T-Bone steak that we could afford. Loved it!
Also, I have never found fish in chips that were as good as the Prince of Whales.
Does anyone remember Sally's across the street from Wilson. Seriloin Tips and Milk Shakes served along with the metal blender container with lots left to refill your glass. We drove their in our 1950 Plymoth stationwagon.
Good memories.
#7 May 11, 2011
Well Carl, don't go to Anaheim St. today! It's a third-world country!

I remember this as a child... thanks Mom for taking us to the best!!!!
#9 Jun 25, 2011
As far back as I can remember... we didn't like sea food! Until Mom, turned us on to "Prince Of Wales" WOW.. the food was amazing...I really wish it was still around so that I could take my boys to the ONLY place I'd eat fish! Thanks for the memories!
#10 Jun 25, 2011
Do you remember Clifton's Cafeteria Lakewood CA? Another wonderful childhood memory! The food was actually food I would eat!!! I had my 5th Birthday there.... <G>... I LOVED it! Thanks for the memories! 1960's !
#11 Aug 11, 2011
I so remember Jerry's BBQ as a little girl, watching from the huge window the food being cooked and shuffling around the floor with the sawdust. Then the Prince of Whales...this was the first place my dad took my mom on a date, I grew up there, the waitresses knew my entire family; when my mom was in the hospital once, my dad took my brother and I, the waitresses were so kind to us inquiring about our mom; they treated you like family...Waht about Cys and Simone Pizza...does anyone remember them? good old Compton boys...I used to play in the kitchens as a little girl...loved it there...
#12 Aug 13, 2011
Long before revolutionary Long Beach Council began licensing "Gay" bars along the then peaceful Broadway corridor - an accomplishment that has resulted in an explosion of violent "hate crimes" being committed along the street - the Broadway Cocktail Lounge at about Cerritos Avenue was a non-Homosexual piano bar/cocktail lounge. It was a "decent tobacco smokers welcome" bar where everyone had a good time.
During the 60s, the lounge owners employed a wonderful piano player named Howard. Howard could play almost any song his audience would request. He was the only cocktail lounge pianist I knew who could play "Foggy River" on request and to do so extemporaneously.
I heard Howard retired to the high desert after being employed as a pianist by the old Moose Lodge on Pacific Avenue. I don't know if he is still alive now. In the process of time, I have forgotten what Howard's last name was. Does anyone recall what it was?
Does anyone recall The Royal Cuckoo Cocktail lounge later, the now defunct "Royal Club", that was located on Daisy Avenue south of 10th Street?
#13 Aug 22, 2011
I wondering what happened the place called Prince of Wales in Long Beach ? was it out of business or moved to another town ? My whole family loves fish & chip ! anyway pls let me know ... good memories !
#14 Aug 22, 2011
Memories of a time when Long Beach was a great place to raise a family. Why on EARTH did we sacrifice it all to be nothing more than LowenthalLand? You never know how much you love a City until Marxist freaks take control and the City is destroyed. How sad. Our kids will never know what they lost.

Anyone remember "the granada heads?" It was down the street from Ripples. Whenever got out of Ripple's and was to drunk to drive home, I'd mosey on over to Ripples for some free sex until I sobered up. A lot of us did. That sure was a long time ago. Wonder what's going on over there these days? Is it still there? Is it still going strong? Madman? What say you?

the Broadway Cocktail Lounge
I used to go to the Broadway Cocktail Lounge back when it was a straight bar. I don't know if the Tadesko's owned it then but it was a good bar. The piano was the whole entertainment. I went back years later and the piano players were still good. Ed Kennedy comes to mind and then Harry Edge. That place has gone from bad to worse over the years. Now if you want a dive bar, that is just one of them. Now I wouldn't dare go anywhere on Broadway now, not because of the hate crimes but because there is NO ENTERTAINMENT value on Broadway except the visual appeal, if your into that. Broadway has followed the path Long Beach has laid down for it and it will not get any better.
#18 Aug 23, 2011
Can't say, don't go to any of those places anymore. Used to be fun but Ripples was always a dive. Wish there was a good entertainment bar but that's OK, sooner or later I will move out of Long Beach and look forward to the change of atmosphere.
By the way, Bob, getting free sex from someone at Ripples is not something I would brag about. That's one hell of a way to sober up. Did you ever find out if it was a man or a woman? I think Ripples is still there, I read about it in the police blotters. How they are staying in business is beyond me. Must have something to do with the salty air.
#19 Aug 23, 2011
Ripples is doing great. Unattractive queens must have a place to meet for sex too!
#20 Aug 23, 2011
How is that place surviving? There have been police reports all over the scanners about drunks from Ripples going down to the beach etc. They (the police and public) have tried to close down other bars for noise etc., what makes Ripples so special?
#21 Aug 23, 2011
How about the great hamburger stand "Jims" that was at the corner of Ximeno and Anaheim St. Greatest burgers and large onion rings. The church took over it for parking. Other than that I don't recall great restaurants when we were the town "Iowa by the Sea"

Very hot in summer, but campus is beautiful
It can be very hot outside but it's not too bad.
When there are storms in the city of Clinton, the college is not greatly effected by it unlike other areas around the college. For example a bad storm hit the city of Clinton around 2 months ago. The only damage were some tree limbs down and there were puddles of water, but not excessive water or storm damage. The result of this storm was the cancellation of classes for the remainder of the evening. There was a time where we did get snow also. The snow did not stick. We were only out of classes for a day and fortunately, there was no excessive damage. As a result the weather here is pretty nice. Classes are rarely cancelled for weather here in Clinton.
Beautiful weather usually; however, Mississippi's weather is temperamental. One day it may be freezing and raining, and the following days may be beautiful and sunny.
Let's be honest. This is Mississippi. The weather here is very bipolar. It could be extremely cold in the morning, and by the evening, its extremely warm to where you could go change into shorts and a tank top with flip flops. Just weird.

It's been a while since we've seen exciting wheel-to-wheel electric motorcycle road-racing action, but we're glad to say the drought has ended. It was just one simple camera attached to the Brammo Empulse R ridden by Ricky Orlando, but it captured an epic battle that played out on the asphalt of Sonoma Raceway during the fourth round of the newly-founded eMotoRacing series.

Secret History
Ancient documents show sunspots, auroras and other solar activity before Galileo
Rachel Nuwer

Scientific American
Fri, 01 Jul 2016 10:04 UTC
"Although [scientists] can use ice cores, tree rings and sediments for clues as to past weather and climate change, things like space weather and auroras leave little or no trace," says Bruce Tsurutani, a space plasma physicist at NASA who is not involved in the Kyoto research. "So we need information that man has taken himself."
To that end, a team of historians and astronomers in Kyoto analyzed hundreds of handwritten Tang Dynasty documents from China as well as Japanese and European manuscripts from around the same period, the seventh to 10th centuries. As reported online in April in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, the researchers came across the terms "white rainbows" and "unusual rainbows" again and again. In fact, such spectacles were written about on the same dates in the documents from all three regions. Because people in such geographically distant locations simultaneously reported the phenomenon, the descriptions can only be explained as auroras, says lead author Hisashi Hayakawa, who is a student at Kyoto University's Graduate School of Letters. Auroras are caused by charged particles from the sun colliding with particles in Earth's atmosphere. They usually occur as rings around our planet's magnetic poles.
18th century bathing machines protected ladies' modesty

Amusing Planet
Wed, 29 Jun 2016 20:17 UTC
To help women maintain their modesty and dignity, a simple contraption called the "bathing machine" was developed. A bathing machine resembled a wooden changing room commonly seen on beaches, but larger in size, and raised on wheels and with steps leading to the inside. The female bather would enter the small room of the machine while it was on the beach, wearing their street clothing. In the privacy of the machine, she would change into her bathing dress, which was exceedingly modest compared to today's standards, and place her street clothes into a raised compartment where they would remain dry.
Archaeologists discover skeletons and gold coins in ancient bronze workshop buried during eruption of Mt. Vesuvius
Mon, 27 Jun 2016 17:45 UTC
Likely belonging to a bronze maker, the shop stood in the artisan area near Porta Ercolano, the gate that opened onto the road linking Pompeii to Herculaneum. The building was ransacked following the eruption by looters known as fossores, who tunneled in seeking treasures buried under the ashes.
As a result, the skeletons were pushed up against the wall.
"Since they were disturbed by looters, the bones are not connected. Anthropologists have yet to examine them, but we believe the skeletons may belong to four adults and a child," archaeologist Annalisa Capurso at the Archaeological Superintendency of Pompeii, told Discovery News.
12,000-year-old campsite, hundreds of artifacts unearthed in New Brunswick, Canada
CTV News - Atlantic
Fri, 24 Jun 2016 07:21 UTC
The rare discoveries are unearthing the history of those whose ancestors called the area home. Construction workers found the artifacts that date back 12,000 years.
"Just to know that they were having a fire right in this exact position," says Tyson Wood, a Field Technician from Saint Mary's First Nation. "You know, my ancestors were all sitting around this beach shore, having a fire, fishing, and camping."
Shawna Goodall, also a Field Technician, is in awe of the discoveries. "Just to hold an artifact in your hand, that you know that you're the first person to hold that in 13,000 years, you get goose bumps every single time," says Goodall of Tobique First Nation. "Every single artifact - that never goes away, that feeling."

Barikot was called Bazira in ancient times, a city captured by Alexander the Great during his advance to India.
Dr. Luca Maria Olivieri, head of the Italian Archaeological Mission in Pakistan, told Dawn that during their recent excavation in April-June they unearthed some very important discoveries in Barikot, in the Swat river valley. Excavations at Barikot are funded by the Pakistan-Italian Debt Swap Program.
"Very little is known in the archaeology of the sub-continent about the material culture of the Indo-Greek. However, this time we discovered at Barikot ample layers associated not only to the Indo-Greek city (when the settlement was encompassed by the Defensive Wall, 2nd century BC), but also to the pre-Greek city, the Mauryan settlement (3rd century BC)," Olivieri told Dawn.
The archaeologist also said that during the excavations it was discovered that all pre-Greek layers were destroyed along the Defensive Wall at the time of its construction, to make space for the fortification, revealing conspicuous traces of the Iron Age village (7th century BC).

Russia's high moral values seen through the lens of her legends and folk wisdom contrast starkly with European 'civilization'

Oriental Review

For example, in pagan times, ancient Russians never worshipped a god of war, although their contemporaries in Europe were transfixed by their own martial deity, constructing an entire epic narrative around the concepts of war and conquest.
After defeating the "infidels" (the Golden Horde), Russians never sought to forcibly convert them to Christianity. In the epic poem "Ilya Muromets and the Pagan Idol," the Russian hero liberates Constantinople from that mythological monstrosity, but refuses to become the voevoda (or ruler) of the city and returns home. Ancient Russian literature does not include tales of personal enrichment through conquest or plunder, although this is a common theme in the Western canon.
Egyptologists to uncover mystery behind unknown sarcophagus from tomb KV55 at Valley of the Kings
Nevine El-Aref
Ahram Online

Ahram Online
Tue, 14 Jun 2016 11:30 UTC
The study is being operated with a grant of $28,500 from the American Research Centre in Egypt (ARCE) Endowment Fund.
This tomb was thought to hold the body of the monotheistic king Akhenaten, though no definitive evidence has been presented to back up this speculation.
Elham Salah, head of the ministry's Museums Department, told Ahram Online that the study is being carried out on a collection of 500 gold sheets found in a box in storage at the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir along with the remains of a skull and a handwritten note in French. The note, she says, is dated to when KV55 was first found and states that the 500 accompanying sheets were discovered with a sarcophagus, though it does not mention which sarcophagus.
According to Elham, the first phase of the study, which started last year, indicated that the gold sheets may belong to the sarcophagus found in KV55.
Islam Ezat, from the scientific office of the ministry, said that the study is being carried out by skilled Egyptian archaeologists and restorers from Egyptian Museums and it may lead to uncovering the identity of the owner of the sarcophagus and the tomb.
'Whistling' Roman sling bullets found in southwestern Scotland

Ancient Origins
Tue, 14 Jun 2016 00:43 UTC
According to an article published recently by LiveScience, the bullets were discovered at Burnswark Hill in southwestern Scotland. The find was made during the excavation of a field where a massive attack of the Roman army took a place in the 2nd century AD.
The excavation work was led by John Reid of the Trimontium Trust, a Scottish historical society which is directing the first major archaeological investigation of Burnswark Hill site in 50 years. The bullets weigh about 1 ounce (30 grams) and had been drilled with a 0.2-inch (5 millimeters) hole. The researchers believe that it was designed to give the soaring bullets a sharp buzzing or whistling noise in flight, making them what they called a real ''terror weapon''.
John Reid said to LiveScience:
You don't just have these silent but deadly bullets flying over; you've got a sound effect coming off them that would keep the defenders' heads down. Every army likes an edge over its opponents, so this was an ingenious edge on the permutation of sling bullets.About 20 percent of the lead sling bullets discovered at Burnswark Hill had been drilled with the holes. They were also smaller than the typical bullets, so the researchers pinpointed that the soldiers may have used several of them with one throw. The size of the bullets gave the ability to fire them in groups of three or four, so the soldiers could receive a scattergun effect. The researchers believe that they were for ''close-quarter skirmishing''.
Bizarre, long-headed woman's skull unearthed in Korea
Tia Ghose
Live Science

Live Science
Tue, 21 Jun 2016 08:14 UTC
The woman was part of the ancient Silla culture, which ruled much of the Korean peninsula for nearly a millennium.
Unlike some of the deformed, pointy skulls that have been found throughout the world in other ancient graves, however, it is unlikely that this woman had her head deliberately flattened, the researchers said.
Ancient culture
The ancient Silla Kingdom reigned over part of the Korean Peninsula from 57 B.C. to A.D. 935, making it one of the longest-ruling royal dynasties. Many of Korea's modern-day cultural practices stem from this historic culture.
Yet despite its long reign and wide-ranging influence on culture, the number of Silla burials with intact skeletons remained few and far between, said study co-author Dong Hoon Shin, a bioanthropologist at Seoul National University College of Medicine in the Republic of Korea.
"The skeletons are not preserved well in the soil of Korea," Shin told Live Science in an email.
However, in 2013, researchers had a lucky break while excavating a grave near Gyeongju, the historic capital of the Silla Kingdom. Inside a traditional burial coffin, called a mokgwakmyo, lay the nearly perfectly intact bones of a woman who died in her late 30s.

A Modern-Day Diaghilev
New York
In a tiny studio apartment surrounded by the Gustav Klimt reproductions that inspired her purple-and-gold color scheme, producer Beth Morrison plies her trade. Here, on the fringes of Manhattan's Upper East Side, she formulates budgets and holds planning sessions with composers, theater directors, choreographers, costume designers and more. "Everything you see onstage," she says during an interview at her home office, "is the result of a series of, like, 10 decisions. Even if it's just a flag waving."
Raven-haired and reportedly unflappable, Ms. Morrison may be immortalized one day as a 21st-century Diaghilev, known for her ability to assemble memorable collaborations among artists. But unlike Sergei Diaghilev, renowned for his legendary Ballets Russes productions, her métier is experimental music-theater—"indie" opera and multimedia concert works.
In the five short years since she opened her company, Beth Morrison Projects, she has produced everything from a theatrical version of "Soldier Songs," David T. Little's antiwar cantata, at the International Festival of Arts & Ideas in New Haven, Conn., to New York City Opera's Vox Contemporary Opera Lab at New York University's Skirball Center. For "21c Liederabend, Opus 2," at the Kitchen in Chelsea, Ms. Morrison re-envisioned the informal evenings of art song held in 19th-century drawing rooms as a three-day festival of contemporary vocal music with projected images. This season's touring productions include a performance of Zhou Long's opera "Madame White Snake," in Hangzhou, China.
The 39-year-old producer is also a vital link in the music-industry food chain. "I'm always interested to find out what Beth is working on," says Charles Cermele, producer of contemporary programming at Lincoln Center, "because it often is a bellwether of what's happening in certain musical and theatrical communities in New York City."
Her next project is "Kocho," a contemplative music and movement piece by composer Garrett Fisher, whose spare aesthetic is influenced by Japanese Noh theater, Greek mythology and Indian ragas. Scored for voices, bass trombone, flutes, Indian harmonium, bass, gongs and percussion, "Kocho" receives its first staged production on Friday at Galapagos Art Space, an experimental music club in Brooklyn. Once a horse stable, the building now has seating areas accessed via walkways over a manmade "lake." "'Kocho' will envelop the audience," says Ms. Morrison, "with music, video projections, sculptural elements and floating flower lanterns in the water pools."
A familiar figure at cutting-edge events in her characteristically short black dresses and boots, Ms. Morrison is sometimes hired solely to oversee the logistics of a show. But the heart of her work is as a creative producer, where she chooses the director, auditions the cast and collaboratively wrestles over key decisions with the rest of the artistic team. "Beth is astutely insightful about the hybrid form called music-theater," says Joseph V. Melillo, executive producer at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and an early mentor. "Those sensitivities allow her to forge partnerships with artists and translate the artists' needs for the presenter."
Yet, unlike commercial producers, she is not working on behalf of investors hoping for a hit. Once she has formulated a project budget, she raises money to cover production costs, including a fee for her company. Then Ms. Morrison pitches the event to performing-arts venues. "What I'm trying to do," she says, "is three things that are often handled by three different entities: seeking funds for the commissioning and developing of work; producing work; and booking and touring work. . . . The whole mission of my company is to further the work of living composers."
Ms. Morrison typically avoids the thorny thickets of modernism for a more eclectic downtown aesthetic informed by minimalist rhythms, world music, rock and live electronics. She became involved early on with such rising compositional stars as Judd Greenstein, Missy Mazzoli and Nico Muhly. "I feel very free when I work with her," says Ms. Mazzoli, whose 70-minute chamber opera, "Song From the Uproar," will receive its premiere next February at the Kitchen after two years under Ms. Morrison's guidance. "I can indulge my craziest ideas without feeling judged or silly."
One of Ms. Morrison's assets is that she understands the arts from the inside. "My whole family was in community theater in Auburn, Maine," she says. A pivotal experience occurred when she was accepted into a summer vocal program for high-school students at Boston University's Tanglewood Institute. "I fell in love with classical music," she recalls. "It just washed over my body, and every cell went 'yes!'" A graduate of Boston University, where she majored in vocal performance, she later earned a master's degree in theater management at the Yale School of Drama.
"What I realized about myself during that process of becoming a professional singer," she says, "was that I loved the process. I loved rehearsing with the pianist or director and talking about character. I loved researching. What didn't light me up was the auditions, which were sort of debilitating. And while I loved singing, performance was not something I particularly enjoyed."
The hardest part of her business today, Ms. Morrison says, is the fund raising, whether it's for a relatively modest project like "Kocho" or for a more ambitious undertaking like "Brooklyn Babylon," scheduled for its world premiere at BAM from Nov. 9 to 12. A theatrical concert piece written by Grammy-nominated composer Darcy James Argue, it features an 18-piece jazz band, animation, and live painting on canvas by graphic artist Danijel Zezelj.
Another challenge is finding a venue interested in presenting the work. "It's heartbreaking sometimes," she acknowledges, "when you're like, 'This is the greatest show ever and nobody's going to take it.' It's still a mystery to me why certain things get programmed and others don't."
As her reputation has grown, she has been tapped by more established composers like David Lang, part of the Bang on a Can collective, or MIT's Tod Machover, known for his interactive electronic operas and specially invented "hyperinstruments." "That's like a druh-eeam," Ms. Morrison says, drawing out the vowels. "The thing that I worry about, though, is that what I've been known for is finding and championing the young emerging voices. . . . I'm really anxious that I'm going to lose touch with the composers coming out of the conservatories."
They will probably find her, since she continues to win kudos for her risk-taking productions. As the current season begins, five new projects are in the developmental or workshop process. "I don't know if we would be creating these works," says Ms. Mazzoli, "unless Beth were there to say, 'OK, let's try this, and we'll figure out how to do it, even if it's really hard.'"
Ms. Jepson writes about classical music for the Journal.

I didn't read a ton of books about being pregnant or having a baby when I was expecting. I didn't want to stress myself out by overloading my head with information. I also relied on my Mom friends. I figured they'd tell my all the important stuff when it came to motherhood. Well...not necessarily.
According to Babble.com, here are 8 THINGS YOUR MOM FRIENDS MIGHT NOT TELL YOU ABOUT MOTHERHOOD:
1. Breastfeeding is harder than you imagined.
2. You really won't get a chance to shower much.
3. Fussy babies are more common than you think.
4. It will probably be a while before you're intimate with your husband again.
5. Sleep deprivation can feel like depression.
6. Postpartum depression is very common.
7. Taking care of a newborn can be very boring.
8. Expect your plans to fall through.

Ford Shares Poised For New Uptrend 0 commentsAug 21, 2012 7:14 AM | about stocks: F
Are Ford's shares beginning a new positive trend? I believe there is a reasonable chance of that. I have organized my comments in three categories: Trend, Liquidity and Valuation.
Recently, Ford (NYSE:F) shares have climbed above their 50 day moving average. From a trend following perspective this signals the beginning of at least a short-term positive phase (say a few weeks to a month). On Friday (August 17) there was a second close above that average, adding a bit more confidence to that view.
Prices will need to climb a bit further to signal the possibility of a longer term positive trend. The good news, in the case of Ford stock, is that the additional increase in price needed to signal a longer term uptrend is not too large, say about 10% or about $10.60/share. If the foregoing short-term trend holds and builds upon itself some, then the $10.60 level might be reasonably attainable. Several closes above the $10.60 level would signal the beginning of a pretty positive long-term outlook from a trend following perspective.
By liquidity what I am referring to is the willingness of current shareholders to hold shares. If current holders are holding shares tightly, demonstrating a highly elastic response to falling prices and a highly inelastic response to rising prices, then share prices are more likely to rise. I have certain proprietary measures that provide some indication of prospective changes in the willingness of holders to sell shares. In the case of Ford, I have been anticipating a reduced level in interest of selling by holders. Other measures that I use suggest that a reduced willingness by holders to sell is now actually occurring. Further, looking ahead, I anticipate that existing holders will continue to want to hold Ford shares relatively tightly.
There has already been plenty of discussion about the "cheapness" of Ford's stock, especially since its share price has fallen so sharply recently. Based on the traditional measures of P/E, P/B and expected growth, it would seem that Ford shares are no longer over-priced given the company's profitability and financial structure. Recently, two of the three major rating agencies have upgraded Ford's debt to investment grade. S&P has not yet made that upgrade, saying it wants to see improved profitability. Further improvement in profitability and/or an upgrade from S&P, could serve as a valuation catalyst to the company's share price.
I recently purchased Ford stock. This decision was based on my assessment of the trend, liquidity conditions and the strength of Ford management.
Risk Management:
As a trend follower, if an unfavorable trend in Ford's stock develops from here, I will follow selling or risk management rules to manage the exposure. One challenge that may lie ahead for holders of Ford stock is the current positive tone in the broader markets. Investor sentiment is becoming extremely positive, perhaps too much so from a contrarian perspective. Should the broader equity markets weaken, then Ford's stock price might also be challenged. In such a case, hedging the broader market risk inherent in owning Ford stock would be considered using a beta of about .90.
This article is not investment advice. Readers should consult their own investment and tax advisers before making any decisions about Ford stock. Readers of this article are therefore solely responsible for their own trading and investment decisions.

Beautiful potato dish! I was surprised at how easy this dish was to put together...great instructions! I cubed the potatoes and then boiled them as Pot Scrubber did. The onions were such a great complement to this dish as was the garnish - I would not forgo the garnish. The sauce was excellent. The only thing i did differently was to add serrano peppers to the cheese sauce.
A very nice dish with a lovely flavor. I didn't change the ingredients at all but I did vary the cooking technique. I cubed the potatos and boiled. After the sauce was ready I assembled it in a casserole dish, topped with additional cheese, and baked at 400 til the cheese melted. A very nice mexican version scalloped potatoes.

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Former Penn State and NFL star LaVar Arrington was knocking around the Buffalo Bills' facility Sunday with his protégé, Aaron Maybin.
Arrington has been mentoring him for years. Maybin was in middle school when he met the three-time Pro Bowler, so one could understand why Arrington was wearing a Bills T-shirt a day after they made Maybin the 11th overall pick in the draft.
I'll have more on Maybin and his inner circle later this week, but I also had the opportunity to ask Arrington about another Penn State pass-rusher who's entering the AFC East this year.
The Miami Dolphins in January signed Canadian Football League sackmaster Cameron Wake, who played under the name Derek Wake at Penn State.
Wake arrived at Happy Valley with comparison's to Arrington, who turned pro the year Wake got there. Wake, however, left Penn State undrafted. He got into banking, then personal training and had to reinvent himself with the BC Lions, recording 31 sacks in two seasons.
The Dolphins signed him to a four-year, $5 million deal, the richest contract ever given to a CFL import.
"That's a heck of a story," Arrington said. "He's like Cinderella Man. That's one of those stories where you've got to say 'Man, if you don't believe that dreams can come true, then he's one of those you have to look at.'
"He has to say 'If I didn't go that extra mile, if I didn't work a little bit harder, I actually cheated myself out of possibly realizing my dream.' That personifies what he represents."
Arrington remains blown away by Wake's athleticism, but pointed to a lack of dedication that often drew Joe Paterno's ire.
"He went there and was athletic as all get-out," Arrington said. "There never was a question about his athletic ability. It was a question about his desire and his intensity.
"What happened from that time when he left Penn State to when he started playing in Canada, I don't know. But it wasn't the same man. It's not the same guy. That's pretty awesome that he's getting an opportunity to play in the NFL after all that."

The Benefits of Hiring a Safety Consultant
The Benefits of Hiring a Safety Consultant
They can help you save serious expenses through recommendations or implementation of new ideas.
- By Peter Bouley
- Sep 01, 2005
THE question of whom to hire and when should be on the minds of CEOs, operations managers, human resources, project managers, and others regarding safety and training issues. This question is not always easily answered, even if your company has the resources and personnel in the guise of a safety and health director and/or department. In this ever-changing world of downsizing, everyone needs to justify how many man-hours are spent and at what cost to the company. Everyone is responsible for watching the bottom line.
In order for most companies to remain competitive and stay in business, they must provide–per OSHA–a safe work environment for all of their employees . . . not just the full-time employees. You may have the best safety and training program, however, human error is impossible to predict and control 100 percent. Your safety and training manager (if you have one in house) usually has more on his/her plate than the original job description depicts. He or she does not have the time, and your budget constraints do not allow him or her the resources, to keep up with the ever-changing environment in which we live and work. Therefore, in most cases, it is very cost effective to hire a safety consultant to take a fresh look at your company policies, training, accident prevention programs, and a multitude of other issues that may be particular to your type of industry and company.
Why Go Outside for This Service?
First, a professional consultant is not bogged down by your company's internal affairs, nor is he/she influenced by your past safety record. Nor will he or she alter reports just to make your company look good. You also have the opportunity to find someone, although this person may not have a lot of initials and titles after her name, who has a proven record of actual, hands-on skills and has the ability to save your company a serious amount of money through recommendations or implementation of new ideas.
These professional consultants attend seminars, meet with industry regulatory agencies, and in general are ahead of the curve for safety and training in their field of expertise. The cost of their services ranges from reasonable to ridiculous, as some want to sell you software, videos, and other potentially useless expenses that leave you with a bad feeling for consultants.
In order to find the right company for your needs, get a referral list and check them out, the same as you would for other services that either your company requires or you require personally. For instance, if you needed heart surgery, would you run your finger through the Yellow Pages? Would you require a doctor with a multitude of titles or degrees? I surely hope not. If it were me, I would speak to past and present patients, other doctors, hospitals where they worked, and the Department of Health, and would make sure this is the person to whom I want to entrust my life. In the same manner, you are entrusting the lives and well-being of your employees to an outside safety consultant. Take the time to make a healthy decision.

Continental Airlines Launches Carbon Offset Program
Continental Airlines has launched a voluntary carbon offsetting program that lets customers view the carbon footprint of their booked itinerary and to make a contribution to Sustainable Travel International to fund the purchase of carbon offsets.
Customers who choose to participate in the carbon offsetting program can choose one of four project portfolios: Gold Standard emission reduction projects managed by MyClimate, which are renewable energy and energy efficiency projects validated, registered and verified following Clean Development Mechanism principles under the Kyoto Protocol; international reforestation projects that preserve and create critical forests and that are designed using the standards set forth by the Climate, Community, and Biodiversity Alliance; U.S. Green-e certified renewable energy projects, such as wind farms; or a combination of these projects.
For the vast majority of consumers who have never made an offset purchase, it will be interesting to find out if multiple offset choices do anything more than confuse customers.
Customers may choose to contribute a suggested amount that is calculated based on the carbon emissions related to their itinerary, or they may choose to contribute a different amount toward the reduction of greenhouse gases.
Contracted corporate customers can also offset carbon emissions.
Delta was the first U.S. airline to offer consumers a similar option.
Other airlines, including Cathay Pacific, Virgin Blue, and SAS have similar programs.
While other airlines, such as Continental, have concentrated on selling carbon offsets to passengers when flights are booked, Virgin recently unveiled a plan to sell offsets from the aisle during flights.
Reader Comments
I think this is a great program. It allows the customer to be proactive in the their travels. Although it may be confusing at first, I think the most important things is that continental is making steps in becoming a sustainable business and allowing their customers to have a say in the way they travel.

Really excellent flavor! The flank steak was tender & cooked perfectly at 12 minutes total. The sweet & tangy orange/ginger balanced with the bitter radicchio was a beautiful combination. My only change next time would be to strain the orange rind before boiling down the marinade. A few bites were heavy with the orange peel & that flavor overpowered the rest. All in all an excellent response from my family. They've already requested it again. Thanks for sharing your creation, Tannic! Made, enjoyed & reviewed for Pick A Chef Fall 2008.
