There was no one on East Onondaga Street Mother's Day morning.
If there had been, they would have heard what sounded like a freight train erupting from below the street. Then they would have jumped back, or been blown back, by the river of water shooting up from the 10-by-10-foot crater.
Every day, 500 miles of pipes keep 40 million gallons of water coursing under Syracuse's streets. The water pushes on the pipes, looking for any crack or weak spot that could be a path to freedom. And havoc.
That Sunday morning, while 120 people worshipped quietly in the Plymouth Congregational Church a sidewalk away, the water pushed with a force of 95 pounds per inch.
The 100-year-old pipe had a hairline crack. The water pushed and pushed until it broke the pipe open, thrusting out a 3-foot chunk of cast iron pipe and blowing a crater in the street.
The water won. It wins 350 times every year. Big breaks like this one are rare, but there are about 100 breaks every year that cause some kind of property damage. Half of the 500 miles of pipe in this city were laid over a century ago, when horses and buggies still traveled the streets.
In the winter, the city averages a break a day, said Water Commissioner Mike Ryan. This winter, a 4-foot water main broke twice, closing down the zoo for nine days.
Last week, a million gallons went free downtown to rush through the streets in the open air, to sneak into basements, to leave a mosaic of muddy footprints for two city blocks.
The new Lakeland Boatworks at South Warren and East Onondaga streets depends on water, but the wild underground river was not welcome. It slithered under the front door and into the basement. The water reached 4 feet in the basement before the fire department pumped it out, said Peter Guinto, the store manager.
The merchandise that floats -- like an $88,000, 24-foot mahogany power boat -- got only a lick of the water. But all of the new stock in the basement -- motors, life jackets and clothes -- were soaked with muddy water. The redone floors and bathrooms in the basement were trashed. Guinto isn't sure how much money the store lost, but it wasn't the grand opening he had planned.
The business, along with others on that street and part of Montgomery Street, were out of water for four days.
The sidewalk on East Onondaga Street is still caked with mud. Last week, it was lined with furniture and carpets ruined when the water escaped. Workers from disaster relief companies sat on old chairs here and there, on their breaks from slogging in the basements.
The congregation at Plymouth Congregational Church had to flee the church before worship was done Mother's Day. Kids in a youth program upstairs ran into the sanctuary to tell them that water was streaming into the basement. The force of the water shattered a toilet in the basement, where there is a daycare center for 50 kids during the week. The church and others on the street lost power.
By the middle of last week, the water commissioner was tired. Ryan is the water's keeper. He knows the weak spots, the low pressure points, the high pressure points and the bad valves. He uses technology to try to stay one step ahead.
A downtown break means a lot more than just fixing the water pipe. It means moving a messy spaghetti pile of fiberoptic, electric and phone wires that run above the water's path.
And the 10-by-10-foot hole the water left had to be made deeper and longer so there was room to move. That meant hiring someone to install a special steel box -- called a trench box -- to keep the hole from caving in around the workers.
Every move takes money. Ryan couldn't estimate the cost of fixing the pipe, especially as the costs kept mounting last week. But it would be at least $100,000. That money is paid out of the funds generated by water bills city residents pay every quarter. There is overtime, road repair and materials.
The owners of the businesses and churches along the street weren't sure how much they had lost yet, either. The city is not liable. The businesses and churches will have to depend on their insurance.
As the city struggled to force the water back in line downtown, a project was under way to reroute it at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo. There, they know the cost of lost water well.
In the past six months, the zoo lost water twice. In December, it lost its main source of water for four days, and then in January it lost water for five. There is a 2-inch line that still works when the zoo's main goes out. It's just enough to feed and water the animals. It is not enough to flush the toilets or give the elephants their daily bath. For those nine days, the zoo closed down and the elephants got spot-cleaned.
That's a potential loss of more than $15,000 a day, said Bob Geraci, commissioner for the Onondaga County Parks Department.
After those nine closed days this winter, the county decided it was enough. The county and the city shared the cost of putting in a system of valves that would allow the zoo, which is smack in the middle of a giant water main, to continue getting water when there is a break down the line. The county is paying $116,000 and the city is paying $71,000 for the fix.
It is similar to work that's already been done at the hospitals around the city, Ryan said. In the past, as the city's hospitals expanded or renovated, the Water Department added valves and service lines from side streets so they would never lose water completely.
The city is always looking for leaks. It pays a private company to sweep a third of the pipes each year with special listening technology to find leaks before the pipes burst. Workers listen at hydrants and valves for the extra noise of water gushing out underground. If they hear it, they bounce sound waves along the pipes, a bit like a sonogram, to find the exact point of the leak. This costs $33,000 a year.
Beyond that, the city spends $8 million to fix leaks and replace broken and aging pipes every year. There will be a 15 percent rate increase this July, but that money won't go to repairs. The extra is for two 32 million-gallon covered tanks at Westcott Reservoir to replace the 100 million-gallon open reservoir there now.
Every day, about 2.4 million gallons still find a way out. At the city's lowest water rate, that's $3,240 a day. The lost amount has decreased over the past decade as old meters and pipes were fixed. Most of the water comes out in trickles, not torrents.
The city's aging water system is a problem with no good solution, Ryan and Mayor Matt Driscoll said. To replace all the pipes would cost more than $1 billion. Driscoll worked up a calculation for replacing both the aging water and sewer pipes, just to make a point. That would be $2.64 billion, which would raise the average sewer and water bill from $75 every quarter to $750 every quarter.
Of course, that is not the answer. "This is always going to be a challenge," Driscoll said.
Most older cities have water and sewer pipes in the same condition. The Environmental Protection Agency has a program to study the problems of aging water lines. But the issue generally doesn't attract much money. There are 240,000 water main breaks every year across the country. In many places, those breaks are increasing in frequency as pipes laid more than a century ago give in to the water's force. The EPA program is trying to find new engineering solutions, and better monitoring systems.
Until that happens, Ryan will continue at his job: trying to stay a step ahead of the water, but always prepared to wrestle it back into the pipes if it escapes.
Will there be another break like this? Without a pause, Ryan answers yes. The question is not if, but when and where.
In this city with 250 miles of pipe laid more than a century ago, the water will surely win again.

Aging and Society, vol.26, 2006, p.529-547
All European Union member states were required by the end of 2003 to have implemented two directives which, among other things, banned discrimination on grounds of age. This paper looks at the use of statutory age limits in Flemish community and regional legislation in the federal state of Belgium, focusing on age criteria for early retirement, eligibility for public transport fares concessions, and entitlements among those with disabilities. Evidence of age discrimination was found, although often in a form that benefits older people. The justification of the age criterion was often inadequate, and its adoption appeared to represent no more than convenient standard practice. The paper concludes that policy makers should consider the systematic replacement of age thresholds by other criteria.

Journal of European Social Policy, vol.16, 2006, p.271-285
In Southern Europe, care of the elderly has traditionally been the responsibility of the family. However, a fall in fertility combined with increasing longevity has led to progressive and rapid population ageing, boosting demand for elder care. At the same time women are entering paid employment in greater numbers and households are becoming more mobile in order to improve work opportunities. These developments mean that the burden of care of the elderly can no longer be shouldered by the family. Female migrants are gradually replacing unpaid care by family members, and a new division of labour is emerging between the family, the market and the state.
L. Dahlberg
Health and Social Care in the Community, vol.14, 2006, p.302-310The aim of the present study was to explore complementarity between Swedish local authorities and voluntary organisations in their support for relatives of older people. Interviews were carried out with 55 politicians, civil servants and representatives of voluntary organisations drawn from four municipalities. Qualitative analysis of interview transcripts showed that, while local authorities are seen as responsible for the support of relatives, voluntary organisations are expected to offer less demanding activities such as social support.

Friends inundated Kelly with text messages informing him of the Crimson Tide's 29-24 upset loss to the Aggies that undoubtedly would help Oregon's quest to reach the BCS national title game.
That is, if Oregon continues to win.
For that reason, Kelly said he greeted the news with indifference because it ultimately would mean nothing if Oregon didn't take care of business against the Golden Bears.
True. But one must believe that Kelly at least saw the larger ramifications of Alabama's loss.
Forget that it opened the door for UO to move to No.1 in the human voter polls. Forget that by Sunday evening UO was second in the BCS standings after roughing up Cal, 59-17.
Maybe the biggest development of all for Oregon is that for the first time since 2005, there is a strong chance that the national championship game will not feature a team from the Southeastern Conference, which has had a team win the last six titles -- with Alabama claiming two of the past three.
This is huge news for Oregon because we've all seen what top-notch SEC defenses have done to Oregon's offense, and the Crimson Tide's defense has been considered to be the nation's best these past four seasons.
With them out of the way the coast could be clear for Oregon's offense to continue its onslaught of video-game football with no team on the horizon -- at least at the moment -- appearing capable of disrupting the Ducks' spread-option attack before it begins.
Should either Kansas State, No.1 in the BCS, or Notre Dame, third in the BCS, remain undefeated, Alabama likely won't be able to climb its way back into the title-game picture to face an undefeated Oregon team.
While Kansas State and Notre Dame certainly possess formidable defenses, neither has the list of future NFL prospects running around that Alabama does.
The Crimson Tide lead the nation in scoring defense (11.1 points per game) and are second in total defense (247.8 yards per game) while allowing just 2.3 yards per rush attempt.
Defensive tackle Jesse Williams and linebacker C.J. Mosley are rated as first-round picks in 2013. Linebacker Nico Johnson is pegged as a third-rounder next year and defensive end Ed Stinson is rated the 11th-best prospect at his position for 2014.
These four would look to do to Oregon what Auburn and LSU did.
As great as Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota has been as a passer this season, Oregon's bread and butter remains its running game. The Ducks rank third in the nation at 325 rushing yards per game. They averaged 286.2 in 2010 and 299.2 last year.
But against Auburn in the BCS championship game following the 2010 season, the Ducks gained just 75 yards rushing on 2.3 per carry in a 22-19 loss.
Oregon opened the following season against LSU in Dallas and gained 95 yards rushing, 3.4 per carry, during a 40-27 loss.
Notre Dame features linebacker Manti Te'o, a likely first-round pick next spring. Kansas State linebacker Arthur Brown looks like a second-round pick next year. Each team ranks highly among the top defensive teams in most categories.
But Oregon would likely stack up much better against the Wildcats or the Fighting Irish than it would Alabama.
Maybe this is selling Oregon short, but recent history suggests that with Alabama out of the picture Oregon has a stronger look at a national title. In fact, one might say that it's there for the taking and the Ducks should be the favorite from here on out.
Kelly said that during team meetings prior to the Cal game he informed his players that Alabama had lost. Why hide it? He knew most of his players probably already knew, anyway and even though the team doesn't allow such news to impact them they at least acknowledge developments.
"I think our kids were like, 'Well, are we not supposed to talk about it?" Kelly said. "Is Coach Kelly's head going to explode off his shoulders if we say (Alabama lost)?"
Kelly said he wouldn't flip out of it were discussed just as long as it doesn't impact the team's focus or preparation.
"Regardless of what happened in a game 2,000 miles away, that still doesn't affect what's going on in our game," he said.
True, but Alabama losing could have been the best news Oregon has received all season.

Huntington, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - A major investment in Huntington will allow garbage to be turned into fuel and other goods all while Nature's Fuel adds 180 new jobs.
The goal of the 350 million dollar investment at the company's Huntington plant is to reuse 100 percent of the waste. They will turn the trash into a variety of different fuel types and renewable building materials.
It's something their CEO says is a one of a king process not being done anywhere else in the nation.
"We're the first people to ever get an air permit and a solid waste processing permit to do as many things, to process as many things at a landfill as we will. Again our goal is 100 percent recycling so everything that comes in goes into a product that America can use the next day. It's either a renewable building product or a it's an ultra low sulfur, high octane, high cetane diesel or it's synthetic motor oil. So that's all that comes out of our plant," said Glenn Johnson, COO, Nature's Fuel.
"Anytime that you have an announcement of that magnitude, of the jobs and kind of investment in the city resources and in the county that's always really exciting," said Mayor Brooks Fetters, City of Huntington.
Nature's Fuel will be bringing on interns in addition to 180 new employees.
Construction for this project will start in the next few weeks. Over the next 7 months they're expected to do the hiring.

Roberta Jonas of Mariners Harbor said her neighborhood has been horribly neglected for at least 30 years when it comes to snow removal, and a new mayor is not helping her situation.
"I don't know what de Blasio did, but we got neglected," Ms. Jonas said. "311 didn't do anything. The whole neighborhood hadn't been cleaned."
Union Avenue and Journey Street near PS 44 were a mess Wednesday, and the snow piled up could hinder ambulances from getting to many of Ms. Jonas's neighbors, she cautioned, many of whom she says have medical issues.
Ms. Jonas's neighborhood was not the only one left buried in the snow.
Tracy McTiernan of West Brighton said the streets around Blessed Sacrament in West Brighton, including Greanleaf and Delafield avenues, where she drops her children off at school each day, looked unplowed as of Thursday morning.
"It was really dangerous this morning and deplorable," Ms. McTiernan said. "There is still very little blacktop showing. And the whole Westerleigh area looks like it has not been touched."
She claims the lack of adequate salting and neglect by the plows are causing vehicles to slide through stop signs near Blessed Sacrament and other streets.
Residents say they've done their part, with all of the sidewalks in these neighborhoods cleared down to the cement.
The same cannot be said for the city, they charge.
"The thing I'm more concerned about is the PS 30 area," said Westerleigh resident Kenny Pogan Jr. "I was over there (Thursday) morning, and it was just like these streets -- people spinning going up the hill. The crossing guard over there was a target. She didn't need to be in that position."
"Does it bother me? Yes," Pogan continued. "When you look at some of the other streets and how many days later it is, I think this has been ridiculous."
A couple who recently moved from Phoenix, Ariz., to Grasmere was surprised that a city, which should be used to snow by now, cannot clear Grasmere Avenue in three days.
"It was tough trying to get out of our driveway; it's just been very slippery, very dangerous," said Essma Salahaldin. "I was very scared to drive my girls to school, but when you get to the main streets it's plowed. These side streets are really bad."
"We were surprised the city does nothing for the side streets," Tom Salahaldin added. "And there's going to be another storm, so imagine how it's going to be on the side streets when the other storm hits."
Brian Edwards, a meteorologist for AccuWeather, said the Island could be hit with light snow on Saturday and again on Monday with an accumulation of about an inch each, but below freezing temperatures will be on tap for most of next week. He said Saturday and Monday could be the warmest days next week when temperatures might get up to freezing for a few hours each day.
As of Thursday, the city Department of Sanitation had 32 plows out on Island streets and 60 salt spreaders, said spokesman Vito Turso, but the problem with the side streets is that there is less traffic and the rock salt being spread is "ineffective" with temperatures below 15 degrees.
And plows operate with their blades up about half an inch to avoid ripping up manhole covers with the hope that the rock salt will handle the rest, Turso said.
But with temperatures expected to be in the teens for most of next week, Islanders might not see blacktop for a while.

About the Book
Testing proves most houses being built today are not as energy efficient as they could be. Yet most builders will answer "Yes" when asked if they build energy efficient homes. Without studying energy efficient housing scientifically, how can you tell you are getting the energy efficient home you want?
Holistically Green Homes has the answer! It clearly defines 18 principles to help you understand and compare the efficiency of homes and competency of builders. The 18 principles bring the "Holistically Green" concept to life. and explain how energy efficiency begins with personal commitment. A qualified green builder ensures the remaining principles are included in your new home, and independent testing verifies performance.
Holistically Green Homes includes examples and case studies that highlight financial benefits and considerations. Yes, it does cost a bit more to build a house that is energy efficient, environmentally friendly, and structurally resilient. But the facts show that a well-designed and efficient home is more economical to live in than a non-efficient home—beginning with the first month's utility bills. It is also a better overall investment, paying future dividends in higher resale value and long-term utility savings.
Holistically Green Homes will give you the knowledge and confidence to make sound decisions for your new home!

Ralph Fiennes Backs UNICEF's West Africa Aid Campaign
Actor Ralph Fiennes has urged fans to donate to UNICEF's latest appeal for youngsters starving in West Africa, declaring: "Do whatever it takes to save children's lives now."
The English Patient star serves as an ambassador for the humanitarian organization, and he is appalled by recent statistics which suggest a million African children could die by the summer because of a lack of food and medical care.
He is backing UNICEF's new aid campaign, and he is calling on fans to raise cash and awareness of the crisis.
Fiennes says, "I am alarmed to hear from UNICEF that in the next few months, a million children could die in eight countries across West Africa, including Chad, without immediate treatment and care. It is not a famine, but a very complex food crisis that is the result of a number of factors including drought, rising food prices and poor harvests.
"UNICEF has been warning of this situation for months, but has still only received a third of the funds it needs to ensure that every one of these severely malnourished children will get the treatment they need. The annual 'hunger season' in this region of West Africa - when food from the last harvest runs out - has begun early for many of the affected communities, and time is running out to avert a major catastrophe.
"There is no doubt that this is an enormous challenge, but we should not have to see children die from hunger in front of us. It shouldn't be like this in 2012. We cannot let such crises happen again and again because of a lack of funds."
"Shout loud. Give money. Do whatever it takes to save children's lives now."

NORTHAMPTON — As with many simple questions, this one appears to have no simple answer.
Asked if it is a good idea for civilian bystanders to come to the aid of a police officer fighting with a suspect, three area law enforcement officials – Western Massachusetts Regional Police Academy director Curtis M. McKenzie, Springfield Police Sgt. John Delaney, and Northampton Police Chief Russell M. Sienkiewicz – each answered with a variation of "it depends."
McKenzie said it is best looking at it on a case-by-case basis. "There are just so many variables."
Delaney said there really is no right answer. "That is a tough question."
Sienkiewicz said that in theory, coming to the aid of an officer is a good thing, but in practice, there are so many things that could go wrong.
"You want to believe in your heart of hearts that a citizen would come to your aid," Sienkiewicz said. "But in the heat of battle, you don't know if the person is a friend or foe when a third person jumps in."
An academic exercise became a real-life event with last week's fight between a Northampton police officer and a drug suspect in Thornes Marketplace.
The officer fought with the suspect for as much as four minutes before backup arrived, the whole time in front of several spectators in the crowded shopping center. Still days afterward, it remains murky whether any of the spectators came to the officer's aid.
Several people commented on MassLive.com describing bystanders aiding the police, but Sienkiewicz said official statements from officers at the scene and several witnesses make no mention of anyone in the crowd aiding the officer.
The closest mention is one witness describing an unknown woman picking up the suspect's pellet gun and the officer's baton that had fallen to the floor and putting them on a nearby counter of a chocolate store, where police later recovered them, Sienkiewicz said.
On Tuesday, a worker at a coffee shop in Thornes near where the scuffle took place told a reporter for The Republican that she saw a civilian grab the suspect by the ankles, causing him to fall.
Sienkiewicz, McKenzie and Delaney each said there are certain risks involved in jumping in the middle of a violent struggle between a suspect and a cop. Perhaps the biggest is that the Samaritan citizen will be mistaken for a bad guy.
Delaney said a big consideration is whether the officer wants someone to help. "You should only do it if the officer is asking for help," he said.
If someone enters the struggle without being asked or declaring that they are trying to help the officer, they run the risk of being mistaken for a combatant, he said.
And it's very important, said McKenzie, to let the officer know that you are a good guy.
"It's important to communicate with the officer, (and) say 'I'm here to help.'"
Sienkiewicz recalled a time during the 1980s when he was trying to restrain three drunks at a truck pull and the situation became out of hand. As he wrestled with the three, he became aware of a fourth person coming up from behind him. Instinctively he threw an elbow into the man's face and only later did he learn he broke the nose of an off-duty state trooper who was charging in to help.
Sienkiewicz said the trooper later acknowledged he made a mistake by charging into the fray without identifying himself.
A cop involved in a life-or-death struggle tends to develop what Sienkiewicz described as tunnel vision. The fight itself becomes all that matters at that moment and just about everything else gets pushed to the periphery. Even if someone coming to the aid of a cop announces that, the cop may not hear it.
"Make sure the officer acknowledges what you said," Sienkiewicz said. "Say 'Do you want help?" and make sure the officer acknowledges, and then follow his directions."
McKenzie said any officer involved in a violent struggle would welcome assistance from a citizen but only if the citizen is physically capable of helping without getting hurt.
An officer would feel terrible if someone coming to assist suffered a heart attack or was knocked down and broke a hip or something. "No officer wants that to happen," he said.
When a suspect is determined to resist, it can be difficult for one officer to restrain him, McKenzie said. Even the simple act of putting handcuffs on someone becomes exceptionally difficult.
McKenzie remembers years ago struggling with a suspect in the middle of the night in the middle of a street, when a stranger appeared to help hold down the suspect long enough for McKenzie to cuff him. The stranger then got back into his car and drove off. "I never did learn his name."
Delaney said when a member of the public sees a fight between the cop and a suspect, perhaps the best thing to do is to call 911 to report what is happening and the exact location. That alone will result in more cops flooding into the area to aid the officer.
"You can't assume the officer has had time to radio for help," he said.
Sienkiewicz agreed.
In the Thornes incident, the officer had his radio torn away and was not able to relay he needed assistance.
Sienkiewicz said police were aware of his general location and were moving to the area, but were not aware of his exact location until calls starting coming in through 911. Even so, he said, "it took a while before anyone called 911."
McKenzie said that at the police academy, recruits undergo 800 hours of training over 21 weeks. Much of that training is spent on defensive training and tactics based on real-life scenarios, such as resisting a suspect reaching for the officer's holstered weapon.
"We tell them that there is no such thing as a normal or routine incident. Things move from normal to very bad very, very quickly," he said.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses
Where: American Airlines Theatre, 227 W. 42nd St., New York
When: Now in previews, opens May 1. 8 p.m. Tuesdays-Saturdays; 2 p.m. Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays
How much: $56.25-$101.25. Call (212) 719-1300 or visit roundabouttheatre.org
NEW YORK -- "I look like an upside-down teacup in my costume," says Mamie Gummer about the 1780s yellow satin frock she wears in "Les Liaisons Dangereuses," playing a debutante seduced by the wicked Vicomte de Valmont.
Maybe so, but between her elegant cheekbones, luminous skin and clear blue eyes, Gummer also looks a good deal like her mom, Meryl Streep.
Gummer doesn't mind questions about her celebrated progenitor. "I'm sort of resigned to it," she explains with a deep heart-shaped smile just like You-Know-Who's.
Yes, Streep has been "really supportive" of her 24 year-old daughter's career. No, Streep hasn't been a pro-active stage mother. "There haven't been any phone calls made for me," Gummer declares.
Currently in previews and opening May 1, Roundabout Theatre Company's revival of "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" marks Gummer's Broadway debut. But already she has enjoyed meaty roles in three off-Broadway plays -- winning complimentary reviews as well as a Theatre World award -- since graduating from Northwestern University in 2005.
Between stage gigs, Gummer has appeared in several films like "Stop Loss" and "Evening" and the HBO series "John Adams" in which she portrays the President's widowed daughter-in-law, Sally.
"You can find me, like, oh, there I am over by the window sill," she giggles about her marginal if sympathetic character.
Passing beyond the merely promising stage, Gummer has become a working professional, which she says has been a dream since her girlhood spent mostly in rural Connecticut with three other siblings. As the eldest daughter of Streep and sculptor Donald Gummer, she was named Mary Willa after a great-grandmother but has been called Mamie since infancy.
"Everyone on my mother's side of the family are Harrys and Marys -- literally -- so every first-born daughter is named Mary, but we all have nicknames," explains Gummer.
A seven-year relationship having fizzled -- Gummer doesn't want to talk about it -- the actress not long ago moved from Brooklyn to her parents' apartment in Tribeca. "It's a new place, fortunately, because I think I'd go crazy if I were in my old room with my Leonardo DeCaprio posters on the wall," she says. Concentrating on her career, Gummer is not dating anyone in particular. "I'm just checkin' things out," she says.
Certainly Gummer hasn't had much time free for romance, because she's been working plenty ever since she and fellow Northwestern alums staged their own post-graduate showcase in New York. Such exposure led to Gummer being hired by Roundabout -- after three auditions -- to buzz around in a tutu and jammies as a scarily sophisticated four-year-old in Noah Haidle's disturbing comedy "Mr. Marmelade," opposite Michael C. Hall as the child's dubious imaginary friend.
"It was appropriate for me to begin my career as a bit of a baby," thinks Gummer. "My own inexperience and naivete worked in my favor." Critics took favorable notice of Gummer's smart performance. So did her parents. "After they saw 'Marmelade' there was a big sigh of relief," she recalls.
Theresa Rebeck's modern-day variation on Greek tragedy, "The Water's Edge" at Second Stage saw Gummer portray the angry offspring of Kate Burton and Tony Goldwyn. Following a summer stint at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in a revival of "The Autumn Garden," Gummer returned to New York for Primary Stages' world premiere of Brooke Berman's "Hunting and Gathering," where she played an opportunistic college student. "I learned a lot doing it because that sort of character is so far from what I am," Gummer notes.
In the process of performing eight times a week, Gummer believes she has acquired discipline. "Just showing up every day and getting through it and focusing on the work," she explains. "Allison Janney said to think about it like 'Groundhog Day': Every day you wake up and have to do it again because you didn't do it right the last time. So you just keep on trying to get it right."
In a change from the contemporary characters she has essayed, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" dresses Gummer in 18th-century petticoats. "I never imagined myself as one of those ingenue-y types," says Gummer. "Playing the young, bright thing is a unique kind of challenge."
A pretty pawn in the battle of wills between decadent French aristocrats, Cecile is corrupted by Valmont, played by British leading man Ben Daniels, and led further astray by the intriguing Marquise de Merteuil portrayed by Laura Linney (who was Gummer's mother-in-law in "John Adams").
"Bless her, Cecile is so bewildered," says Gummer. "Imagine how those girls would go to a convent for four or five years and then be brought out into that kind of a society. She's a little like a deer caught in headlights."
Studying the script, Gummer noted how the character changes in the course of Christopher Hampton's play. "It's funny to look at her speech patterns. Cecile starts out very contained. Her vocabulary is terse. Then after this encounter with Valmont happens, her language opens up," she observes.
"The feminist that lives somewhere inside me is a bit concerned because Cecile might be seen by some people as a sort of 'Lolita' fantasy," adds Gummer. "You know, the girl gets raped and likes it. I don't think it's that simple. It's very common in those situations for victims to get attached. I just think that Cecile is completely out of her depth with that crowd."
Having arrived on Broadway, Gummer is pondering her next move. "Wouldn't it be nice to do both stage and film? It's not impossible," asserts Gummer. "After this, God help me, I might head out to Los Angeles for a little while just to see what that's like."

Band history still to come.
More Reviews Current Updates Print article Rating explanation
Who or what is BLAKE? A Rock'N'Roll nomad, a wanderer on a mission to create the most powerful Rock music the universe has ever witnessed? BLAKE is the mentor… the promo blurb does go on for a bit…
Is this making any sense? It's a rather boastful comment for an unknown band to cry out that they are going to create the most powerful music the universe has ever witnessed. Why not conquer Finland first then Europe then the world but hey aim for the stars you've got nothing to lose!
So is this the album that will determine a new branch in the tree of Rock'N'Roll? Hardly. Although it is competent stab at mixing a variety of styles and genres into a decent Metal soup at the end of the day. There's the Prog Metal meanderings of TOOL in here, the Gothic epic sounds of TYPE O NEGATIVE and the heavy de-tuned riffing of KYUSS and SABBATH with the Stoner influences of say GRAND MAGUS and all fronted by the quite unique vocals of Aaro.
Honestly at times he sounds like Jim Morrison (THE DOORS) then Ian Astbury of THE CULT then Pete Steele and a more doomy Mat Barlow (ex-ICED EARTH) It's certainly a distinctive set of pipes as he swaggers from Stoner King on the excellent ''Walk In'' to TOOL type Metal on ''Starbringer'' and onto the down right catchy ''Call Her Name'' with ''Evil Remains Evil'' being a glorious tribute to Osbourne, Iommi, Ward and Butler. The subject matter on offer is a bit iffy, but it takes nothing away from the overall Heavy melodic punch of ''Starbringer''.
Initially I had reservations about BLAKE but take it from me this is a great fix of Heavy Rock'N'Roll in 2004. (Online September 20, 2004)

In May 2009, the state issued an Appendix to the IECC. The Appendix is an optional "stretch" energy code that can be adopted by municipalities to set a more stringent efficiency standard for new construction and major renovations. The "stretch code" is 20% more stringent than the state's base building code energy requirements, those effective in 2010.
Cities and towns in Massachusetts that are pursuing a Green Communities designation through DOER are required to minimize the life-cycle costs for all new residential buildings over 3,000 sq. feet and all new commercial and industrial buildings. By adopting the stretch code, cities and towns can meet this requirement.
This information is provided by the Department of Energy Resources.

Stroll Through The Hood
Disclaimer: This post makes a bit fun of "The Lions of Michigan" – if you are a Lion of Michigan and weren't in this crowd – I am sorry, I do not mean to make fun of all Lions of Michigan, nor all Lions nor the Lions Club nor all people of Michigan! If you are on that photo…sorry- if you hadn't shouted out so loud..I would have not even noticed you in the crowd- you were almost invisible! 😉
A lot of times I get asked what inspires me. And one of my key answers is always "a stroll through the hood". It might be street art, it might be thoughts or feelings connected with certain sights, it might be stuff I find to buy…in one way or the other you might find the photos, the thoughts, the feelings, the colors or anything from those strolls in my art journal, a mixed media project or a scrapbooking layout.
I would love to show you once a month what inspired me while strolling through my neighborhood. I hope you like the little insights into my daily life where I live (at the moment Hamburg, Germany). This is also a wonderful way for me to remind myself on the inspiring things in the hood. Maybe you get inspired by those posts and even invite ME to a stroll in YOUR hood – feel free to grab the logo and leave a comment for me on the post and share!
You gotta love a neighbor hood where an artist works on the street – this guy is working on a canvas and is a friend of the hair dresser – the canvas will be hanging there soon. I hope I will see it finished. It is pretty cool!
Our Central Park- LOL – it is a piece of land …prominent right smack at best building location – which is now for several years rented out for a "beach-club" – yup right…in the middle of the city, at the train tracks going above you have a piece of beach with nice chairs and you can hang out there if you want. Totally forgot to take Julie for a break there…oh well…we did so much 😉
The usual saturday flea market from a different angle – it was so hot that day and soo crowded. But fun. Apparently this flea market made it to some travel guides for Hamburg
The Lions of Michigan…we did almost not know they were here…almost 😉 ROAAARRRR
One Saturday morning I met my friend Sandra for a breakfast at one of the many portuguese cafe's in this particular street. It is even called Galao (portuguese expresso with hot foamed milk) Strip . Great place for people watching and catching up before heading out to do the weekend grocery shopping.
Well…gotta say I love Hamburg 😉 Only one more Stroll from the hood is going to be from Hamburg. I think I might continue though once I moved to Jersey City- might be a good way to keep me going checking out my new hood. What do you think?
Have a wonderful day!

I will miss seeing Germany (as I'm sure you will too!), but it will be fun to see NJ too! I enjoy your tours!
Kathy P
Wish we had visited Hamburg while in Fermany…oh, we'll, a good reason to go back, right? I think strolling is a wonderful way to get to learn about a new area!
You will enjoy visiting all over Nj and check out the Lower east side of manhattan. Just a train ride away a d so many different ethnic groups in a Small area of land with sights and sounds to match.
Nice stroll. Yes do keep it up from Jersey City…xox
Oh yes, I'd enjoy seeing your new neighborhood adventures!
I know you will find many hoods, and many new ideas around in NJ…waiting to see your strolls in America!.. The best for you!..
Jeanette Nyström
Great photos for inspiration! What a lovely city!
I hope you continue the tradition…I love your stroll through the hood posts!
Oh my goodness Hamburg looks so cool. Jersey City has it's cool spots- it's changing so fast due to the increasing rents you'll be a welcome addition to the artist community there.

This week, DBusiness Daily News, an independently published, general-interest business news outlet for the region, highlighted results from the Oakland University's Southeastern Michigan Economic Outlook Policy Forum report.
The project is headed by Oakland University economists and professors Drs. Jonathan Silberman and Ron Tracy.
An excerpt from the article by Izzi Bendall:
Economists are more positive than the average consumer about the economic impact on Detroit if it goes through a planned bankruptcy, according to a report released by Oakland University.
In the first policy report from Oakland University's Southeastern Michigan Economic Outlook, participants were asked whether they disagreed or agreed with the statement, "The city of Detroit bankruptcy will advance the economic vitality of southeastern Michigan."
"I think the economists (and business executives) have a much broader perspective about understanding the impact of the bankruptcy on retaining businesses (and) attracting businesses," says Jonathan Silberman, professor of economics at Oakland University in Rochester Hills. "The bankruptcy process — even in business — provides renewal and a chance to more effectively use resources for growth."
While it wasn't included in the final report, Silberman says it was interesting to see that the consumers who live in Detroit had a much more positive view of the bankruptcy than those who don't. "They experience the hardship of (living in Detroit), and I interpret this as they see the bankruptcy as a chance for the city to improve," Silberman says.

LOS ANGELES, Cali. (www.incnow.tv) -- After comments made by Abercrombie & Fitch CEO, Mike Jeffries, were released earlier this month, a writer in LA has launched a campaign to readjust the clothing retailer's brand.
The initial reports focused on the CEO's comments about not selling XL sizes for women and selling XL sizes for men because men are more athletic. But now quotes from Jeffries from 2006 are circulating where he says ""In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids. Candidly, we go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don't belong [in our clothes], and they can't belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely."
A video posted to YouTube by Greg Karber, a writer in L.A., claims that the retailer burns their damaged clothing instead of donating it to the poor or unfortunate.
In light of all these statements, Karber launched a campaign using the hashtag #FitchTheHomeless. The video shows Karber going to a thrift store, buying second-hand A&F clothing and then handing out the clothing to the homeless on Skid Row.

Mike Magee has played for five coaches in six years and every one has said that when Magee is healthy, he can score goals.
That time appears to be now and Juan Carlos Osorio, the latest coach that has stuck by Magee, is the beneficiary.
With Magee scoring in consecutive games for the first time in his career, the Red Bulls, despite playing a man down for all but a few seconds of the second half, defeated Toronto FC, 2-0, before 11,119 last night at Giants Stadium.
The victory lifted the Red Bulls (7-6-7) into a fourth-place tie with D.C. United in the Eastern Conference with 28 points, while Toronto (7-9-4) remained tied with the Wizards for fifth with 25 points.
"I'm definitely getting my legs back and getting a little more confidence," said Magee, who has three goals this season and 21 in his career. "Goals in back-to-back games helps.
"When I got my chance in the beginning of the year I got put in an attacking midfield role. I thought it was a really good opportunity for me. I had a lot of hopes (but) it didn't come. My touches weren't good and my fitness wasn't there. I couldn't find my spots. Now, getting a second chance, having spent some time on the bench, getting time to watch and soak things in and a second chance up top, it really helped me a lot. I couldn't go much further down."
Juan Pablo Angel, who scored the final goal of the game on an easy tap-in in the 92nd minute, gets the credit for setting up Magee's goal even though he never came close to touching the ball.
During a scramble in the Red Bulls box, Seth Stammler cleared the ball out of danger, sending it long to the middle of the field. Angel, in an offside position, walked a few steps toward the Red Bulls end and never made a play for it, which kept the offside flag down.
Magee then sprinted past the Toronto defense, outran Marco Velez to the ball and beat goalie Greg Sutton from 16 yards in the 37th minute.
"It was a collective effort but all credit to Mike," Osorio said. "I spoke to him a couple of times and expressed my honest opinion that if he is 100 percent healthy he has a goal in him. Two goals, two games, He's getting fitter and stronger and hopefully he will continue to contribute that way."
But the victory did not come easily. Red Bulls defender Jeff Parke left the game with an injured right ankle in the 25th minute, and defender Gabriel Cichero, who received a yellow card in his debut last game, was ejected in the opening minute of the second half for throwing an elbow to the head of Toronto forward Danny Dichio.
Dichio, who returned last game after missing four games with a concussion, had just entered the game at the half and was immediately replaced.
Down a man and thin on defense, midfielders Dave van den Bergh and Stammler dropped back to play outside back, with Kevin Goldthwaite and Andrew Boyens, who replaced Parke, in the middle of a four-man back line behind defensive midfielder Juan Pietravallo.
The combination kept all the pressure off goalie Jon Conway, who needed just two saves to record his fifth shutout of the season.
"We showed some good poise with going down and being able to hold tight and keep them off the board," Conway said. "Even through the beginning of the game when we were eleven-on-eleven I thought we were solid.
"Everybody in our back six or so did excellent and allowed Juan Pablo, Jorge (Rojas) and Mike Magee to get the ball in good spots and help us out. But I thought the guys in the back, it changed a couple of times throughout the game, but I thought each one did a great job and it was a great performance. We didn't lose a beat when we had people come in."
The result gave the Red Bulls a four-game unbeaten streak (2-0-2) and their first two-game winning streak of the season. With the Western Conference-leading Dynamo at Giants Stadium next Sunday, the Red Bulls will need another big effort, Magee included.
"We need players right now that start to perform well because we're getting closer to the playoffs," Angel said. "And if he keeps playing like that he's going to be a great help for us."

A man is facing several charges after calling police to tell them his neighbor was being stalked, but then assaulting the alleged stalker with a pipe, authorities said.
Anne Arundel County police officers were called to the 1100 block of Mt. Zion Marlboro Road in Lothian for a report of a stalking complaint at 3:19 a.m. Wednesday.
Officers learned that the neighbor of the potential stalking victim ran after the 35-year-old male stalker with a large galvanized pipe after the man was banging on his exterior windows.
Police said the neighbor, identified as 48-year-old Ronnie Hall, confronted the alleged stalker in a nearby yard and struck him in the head with the pipe.
The alleged stalker, who police have not yet identified, suffered severe head trauma and was taken to Prince George's Hospital Center via helicopter, police said.
Hall was charged with attempted murder, first-degree assault, second-degree assault and reckless endangerment.
Police said the investigation is ongoing to determine if the victim of the assault was actually stalking someone in the area.

Astros hitters face live pitching as Clemens arrives
The big news at Astros camp was the arrival of seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens, who will be a frequent visitor to camp this year. The Astros have invited him back to help tutor their young pitchers, and he rolled up his sleeves and went to work on Sunday by watching pitchers throw live batting practice and offering advice to several young arms.
"Obviously, when someone like Roger is talking, you're a sponge," pitcher John Ely said.
Also, Astros owner Jim Crane had the thrill of a lifetime when he got the chance to play golf with both President Obama and Tiger Woods. Crane spoke to MLB.com about his great day.
Meanwhile, Sunday marked the first day hitters faced live pitching, and most of the hitters used the time to simply track pitches — watch them thrown into the catcher's mitt — more than trying to hit, though there were a few who took some hacks on a cold day.
"I took a swing and squared up a line drive up the middle," Carlos Pena said. "At this stage, you want to make sure you're ready to hit, and you try to track the pitches and follow them into the glove. But you want to make sure you're in good position to hit, and then if that's what you want, go ahead and take a swing."
The chilly temperatures at camp Sunday were a good primer for those April road games in Seattle, manager Bo Porter said. The skipper said the first day of live batting practice was more for the pitchers than anything else.
"It's was good for the pitchers to get out of the bullpen and get a hitter in the batter's box and get closer and closer to starting games here," Porter said. "If you're seeing the ball live and seeing ball come out of the pitcher hand – the weather was why some guys decided to track – but at the same time I think it was overall good."
Here is the day in pictures:

A child who has tracked barefoot through knee-deep mud, who has climbed trees and foraged for wild berries, is a child who will grow to be healthier and more active, who will better understand the world we live in, and who will learn to face it with confidence.
But Canadian kids are spending more time indoors in front of screens than ever before, and the consequences—soaring obesity rates, mental health problems, a decline in empathy and a diminished sense of community—are impossible to ignore. The natural world offers children a chance to learn and to engage their senses, to explore and to discover their surroundings, and to challenge their minds and bodies. Evergreen offers a wide range of programs and initiatives that invite young Canadians to discover nature first-hand—at their schools, in their communities and at home with their families.

Property owners in Williams Twp. will be paying a bit more in taxes in 2013, and officials say the extra revenue will give the municipality some much-needed financial breathing room.
The quarter-mill increase, which will raise about $57,000 and bring the tax rate to 2.5 mills, was adopted Wednesday night on a 2-0 vote, as was the proposed $2.5 million budget for 2013.
"The increase is needed to build a reserve fund so we won't be living paycheck to paycheck," supervisors chairman George Washburn explained before he and supervisors vice chairman Vincent Foglia approved the new rate. Supervisor Sally Hixon did not attend the meeting because she is on vacation.
A homeowner with a home assessed at $100,000 will pay an extra $250 in 2013, $25 more than this year.
Without the tax increase, the township faced a $75,000 budget hole, in part because of the economy and less revenue than expected from the Chrin Brothers Sanitary Landfill.
Before setting the new millage rate, Washburn noted that property taxes were raised by a quarter-mill in 2012 to start a capital improvements fund. The roads were in need of repair, and the township was able to do it, Washburn pointed out.
Washburn also praised the work of the township's five-member budget advisory committee, which was established in 2010. "They did as fine a job as any committee has done," Washburn said.
"And three of them quit!" Foglia cracked, referring to the fact that those members' terms are up and they asked not to be reappointed.
Anyone interested in working on the committee should contact township manager Jennifer Smethers, Washburn said.
In other business, Patricia Graves, of 828 Williams St., Easton, asked the supervisors if something could be done about the cannons being fired at the Chrin landfill intermittently throughout the day to keep birds away.
Graves, who lives about two miles from the landfill, said she is a health-care worker who works the night shift and the cannon fire disturbs her sleep. "I'm entitled to some peace in my own home," she said.
Washburn said Chrin is using the cannons "to eliminate a health issue," adding that landfill officials are investigating hiring a falconer so they won't have to use the cannons.
"I live right above the landfill, and I don't even hear it [the cannon fire] any more," he told Graves.
"Well, I've talked to someone with post traumatic stress syndrome who said it brings him right back to Vietnam," Graves replied.
Township resident Kathy Lilley, of 10 Schuler Lane, said the supervisors should deal with Graves' complaint by enforcing the township's nuisance ordinance. Lilley described the birds as "pathogen-carrying vectors" -- organisms that spread disease. "Enforce the nuisance ordinance," she implored. "Please do something!"
The supervisors approved the hiring of Harrisburg-based Gannett Fleming Consultants to do two studies -- one about the feasibility of having a single trash hauler for the township, and another on the best way to deal with yard waste disposal.
Smethers said the studies will cost $7,500 each, and the state Department of Environmental Protection will pay for both.
Washburn announced that the supervisors meeting next month will be folded into the annual reorganization meeting on Jan. 7.
