Tea Leaf Green: Rock and Roll Band (Part One)
On Halloween Tea Leaf Green will release its debut DVD and accompanying live album. The date seems apt since director Justin Kreutzmann has described Rock 'n' Roll Band as a cross between Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Amusement Park and the Grateful Dead Movie. In the weeks to come we will present a feature story that explores the genesis and development of Rock 'n' Roll Band in a bit more detail. This month however, we offer a conversation with TLG keyboardist/vocalist Trevor Garrod that looks back at the year thus far, with a bit on the Jammys, CGBG's and 19th century abolitionist zealot John Brown.
DB- I'd like to head back to April and start out with the Jammys. Typically the bands that win awards are notified a few days out so that they can make travel arrangements. Is it true that you didn't learn that you had won Song of the Year [for "Taught To Be Proud"] until shortly before you came on stage?
TG- Our manager knew a week beforehand but he kept it a secret. I really didn't think that we'd win. I thought we were coming out to go to the party and maybe schmooze a little bit. Our manger's assistant did say something suspicious to me a couple of days before. He was like, "I think you guys will win, I'm pretty sure you will." I thought he seemed pretty confident but I still didn't quite put it together. I don't like to get my hopes up about things like that anyways, so I'll hold onto the fact that we won't be winning. That way I don't feel like an idiot because I thought we were going to win.
I kind of figured it out 5 or 10 minutes before the award was given when they said, "You have to go back stage right now, so I'm like, "What's this all about? I think we might have won." It was gradual. Things seemed kind of suspicious and then it was like, "Okay, we won."
DB- The backstage hang tends to be quite an event onto itself. Do any of those moments stand out for you?
TG- It was a lot of fun. I have a number of friends I've made over the years traveling around, so I got to hang out with them and chat. I also found myself sitting next to Richie Havens giving an interview with Sirius radio. I thought was pretty cool, chatting it up with Richie Havens. But it's a great party.
DB- A few nights later you performed at CBGB's. Can you talk a bit about your thoughts heading into that show and how you think it came off?
TG- First off, it was packed full of our best fans, so the energy was incredible. I love playing in New York City. As I've heard somebody say, it chews you up and spits you out. But it's kind of fun being chewed up.
When I was in junior high I was a Ramones fan but I wasn't fully tapped into the mythology and history and stuff. So when they told me we were playing at CBGB's I didn't realize how cool it was at the time. But subsequently I looked at the old pictures of the Ramones playing on the stage and it looked exactly the same. It's been the same for 30 years I guess. But I thought it was a blast.
DB- So it was doubly fitting that you covered "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker" and "Teenage Lobotomy"
TG- There were some people who suggested we play Television or the Talking Heads. And you know, I'm not a Talking Heads fan, which is a realization I've come to. For some reason whenever the Talking Heads comes on my iPod I skip it. And you know, Tea Leaf Green, we are not the most sophisticated of players, so the Ramones is more our style. We like more of a simplistic rock and roll approach (laughs).
DB- You also offered up another nod to the New York downtown scene with the Velvet Underground's "I'm Waiting for the Man." That is a favorite of mine.
TG- Yeah I like that song too. When we do covers, we usually do them once but every now and then we'll find a cover that we can really sink out teeth into and we'll keep it in the rotation for a long time.
DB- How are covers brought into the band? Is there anyone who tends to the lead the charge there?
TG- Whoever has an idea. We're pretty egalitarian about how we make all our decisions. So if you happen to be in the band and you have a good idea for a cover you just have to bring it up and say, "Let's play this." And if everybody says, "Yeah, that's a good idea" there you go. Or if everybody says, "I don't think so," it can stay in subcommittee.
DB- Is there a particular cover that stands out as something that seemed fine idea at the time but perhaps didn't quite play out that way?
TG- I think it might be the best but it might also be the worstone time we played "Country Roads" by John Denver. We also used to play a mean cover of "If I Had a Hammer," which I still think is awesome, my mother used to sing it to me when I was growing up. But I don't know if it's all that popular with everybody else. They're like, "I'm not playing If I Had a Hammer,' I'm sorry."
DB- I'd like to jump to Taught To Be Proud. It seems to me that the vocals are more upfront than on your prior releases. What are you thoughts there?
TG- I don't know. This was the first time we had a professional mixing person do it. Plus it helps that I think my voice finally stopped changing a few years ago (laughs). Mixing engineers they all have their own philosophy about how up front the vocals should be. I guess if they sound good enough they should be up front but to tell you the truth we weren't even there when they were mixing it down, so we didn't even get to say, "Can you turn up the vocals?" (laughs)
DB- Speaking of your vocals, I've heard them compared to Paul Simon on a few occasions. To me it's not that your voice necessarily sounds like his but I do find your intonations reminiscent, as if you've digested quite a bit of his music over the years. Is that the case?
TG- I've never gone out and said I want to sing like Paul Simon but I've definitely spent my time listening to him. I think about doing what anybody needs to do to be a good singer: you make yourself as free as possible and find your own natural voice. And if it comes out sounding out like Paul Simonwe'll, we're all primates. But I did listen to a lot of it growing up, Simon and Garfunkle and Paul Simon later on. I think the first time I kissed a girl was at a Paul Simon concert.
DB- On which tour?
TG- Rhythm of the Saints
DB- As someone who always been fascinated by the story of John Brown, I was immediately drawn to that song ("John Brown") on the disc. Not many folks these days are writing about mid-nineteenth century political figures, how did that come about?
TG- I was reading an epic poem called "John Brown's Body" [Stephen Vincent Benet]. It's just something I randomly picked up at the library and there was this one section called the "Hymn of John Brown." I just liked the contradiction of someone doing God's will but at the same time creating a massacre. I like that contradiction and I feel like it's a political question that is still topical today: to solve the world's problems, how far are you going to go? What is appropriate in order to do what's right?
I enjoy things that have no right or wrong answer. That's part of the process, the struggle: thinking about things don't have a right or a wrong answer, that have layers.
DB- What about "Pretty Jane." Those lyrics are rather old as well. What led you to them?
TG- I had this big old box of sheet music from the turn of the century that was handed down to me from my great, great aunt. I was going through this and I found "Pretty Jane." I liked the lyrics but I didn't like the melody, so I tied it on to this simple chord progression. I've always liked the idea of it. My grandma's name is Jane too so I always thought it was secretly dedicated to my grandmother.
I remember I wrote a melody to a John Donne poem once but I don't want to pull that out. People would be like, "Oh god." (laughs) Next, I'll be writing madrigals. (laughs)
DB- Taught To Be Proud opens with "The Garden (Part III)." How is this song related to Parts I and II?. Were they all composed at same time or is there a thematic link?
TG- They were not written at the same time. They're kind of connected a little bit in some kind of weird overview story that we've been putting together for a while but we haven't finished it. There's a hound dog involved with this garden and, well, I don't want to say it's our fairy realm that we're making up but kind of…
There's a collection of songs that we all relate in the whole thing. "Can You Guess It?" is part of the group and "Precious Stone" is in the song cycle. "Garden (Part III)" was written later and it has elements of it but it's also about some other more personal things that I'm extrapolating into a bigger song. Eventually I do want to finish the whole thing. One day we'll get it all finished and we'll have an illustrated song book and an animated feature (laughs).
DB- Where are you in terms of you next studio effort?
TG- We probably have 3 or 4 records of music that has not been put onto a studio album. We have a lot of new songs that we're working on. We can't hold it back, as soon as we get a song, we start playing it live. One day I'd like to be able to put out an album of music nobody's heard before but we play too many shows and we're too impatient to wait on a song. We want to play all the new ones right away. We have enough material, it's just a matter of getting it all together.
There's more to recording an album than having the songs. That's the easy part. I'd like to go and record an album every six months but that's still a little bit down the road. It's not in the cards right now
DB- One final question. Tea Leaf Green has done some work with HeadCount this summer. How would characterize the relationship between culture and politics? How outspoken are you on political affairs?
TG- In an interview someone asked me about the current administration and I called them a bunch of fascists, criminals and thieves. My father read this, called me up and said, "You have to be careful about what you say." But I wasn't saying that for fear of vengeance against me just to prove my point that they are fascists. Are we in a state where I should be fearful of saying soothing like that? I'm not fearful. But I prefer to work more in parables and asking questions rather than giving answers.

I just paused to look out the window. The rust gold leaves and the grey blue of the harbor waters are truly beautiful. The scene is different than it was 30 minutes ago when I breezed by it on my way to the computer. I'm grateful for this; the view, the ongoing changes in it, the sun today, all of it.
Unless you've been hiding in a cave, you've probably been reading about or hearing talk of gratitude. There are gratitude journals, daily gratitude tweets and all sorts of books about it too. Unfortunately "Gratitude" is in danger of becoming a buzzword (if it isn't one already). Worse, it could become a fad, empty of its life enhancing juice. Just when I was getting comfortable…
Twenty, no make that ten, years ago "grateful" would not have been a word I wanted in my vocabulary. I don't think I ever said it. Despite hearing even back then about the benefits of gratitude, I resisted. There was something about it that felt wrong.
Don't misunderstand, I didn't have trouble feeling appreciative of the things other people did for me or gave to me, nor difficulty expressing those feeling with words and deed. I liked the concept of appreciation. So why not gratitude?
It turns out that gratitude, for me, was synonymous with indebtedness – a holdover from childhood. I was resisting the message of guilt and insincerity I'd attached to it, and who wouldn't? It turns out that I'm not alone, may people think of gratitude as a requirement. Luckily, once I figured that out, I felt free to use the word to mean "appreciation" and to let the feelings of being lucky, satisfied and safe come along with it.
We could make up a different name for gratitude, we could call it "Frenginslouge" and the effects would be the same.
Because, the benefits of practicing gratitude are real.
Research in the field of Positive Psychology has yielded some interesting outcomes including results from studies focused on the benefits of gratitude conducted by Robert Emmons from the University of California at Davis." The practice of gratitude can increase happiness levels by around 25%," states Emmons. "Cultivating gratitude brings other health effects, such as longer and better quality sleep time." For a summary of some of those studies you can look here.
Gratitude is an emotion and emotions require…a pause.
Pausing serves to slow you down so you can access positive emotions like gratitude. You can appreciate something in your environment, or in your past, or feel grateful for someone you usually take for granted or whom you tend to pass without noticing. This pause-break can make a huge difference in your well-being, satisfaction with your life and resilience too.

Making the future of mobility work: How the new transportation ecosystem could reshape jobs and employment Deloitte Review, issue 21
From truck drivers to eldercare professionals, occupations of all sorts are facing shifts driven by the future of mobility's vision of widespread ridesharing, autonomous vehicles, and the seamless integration of different modes of transportation.
The basic fact is technology eliminates jobs, not work. —Report of the National Commission on Technology, Automation, and Economic Progress, 19661

The future of mobility promises to transform the way people and goods move about, as shared and autonomous vehicles could offer the opportunity for faster, cleaner, cheaper, and safer transportation. Accompanying those potential changes could be dramatic shifts in the workforce. When transportation modes are profoundly changed, what are the implications for the almost 7 million US auto workers and nearly 4 million professional drivers? How might the future of mobility affect the numerous ancillary jobs that largely hinge on how transportation is provisioned, such as warehouse workers and public works employees? As mobility is expected to increasingly shift from being product-centered to being service-centered, and data could play an ever-greater role, how can companies and governments prepare and adapt their workforces to meet those potentially changing demands?
This article explores how the future of mobility could impact companies' talent needs and the broader workforce. It begins by examining the social and technological shifts that seem to be leading to a new mobility ecosystem. It then identifies the overarching trends that are likely to impact labor across the mobility landscape. Finally, the article looks at a handful of specific sectors—automotive, trucking, and eldercare—to provide a glimpse at how these trends might play out in different contexts. The aim is to examine which jobs are likely to be most affected, what new opportunities could arise and what skills would be needed to realize them, and how organizations can prepare themselves and their people for both the future of mobility and the future of work.
Over the long run and in the aggregate, there is reason for optimism. As MIT economist David Autor notes, while "there is no fundamental economic law that guarantees every adult will be able to earn a living solely on the basis of sound mind and good character," historically the demand for labor has tended to increase as technology advances.2 The journey is seldom a smooth one, however, with disruption often leading to wage polarization3 and the potential for significant economic, political, and social turmoil.4 As stakeholders in the emerging mobility ecosystem ponder how to forge tomorrow's workforce, it's worth remembering that the Luddites were not protesting against technology per se but, rather, against its application: "They wanted these machines to be run by workers who had gone through an apprenticeship and got paid decent wages. Those were their only concerns."5
To that end, stakeholders across the mobility ecosystem would do well to "embrace the disruption" of increased automation and innovation for their business models and workforces. Bringing employees along for the journey is essential to capitalizing on these opportunities: To navigate this technological frontier, companies can look to create continuous learning, evolve skill sets, and retune and rethink jobs.
Historically the demand for labor has tended to increase as technology advances. The journey is seldom a smooth one, however.
Understanding the future of mobility
Understanding how changes in transportation could affect workers first requires an understanding of how the mobility ecosystem might evolve. Converging social and technological trends—in particular, shared mobility and the prospect of autonomous vehicles—are reshaping the way people and goods move from point A to point B.6 In urban areas in particular, shared autonomous vehicles could be integrated with other types of transit, creating a mobility ecosystem that offers seamless, intermodal travel on demand (figure 1).
Making that system work will likely require a diverse set of players. Vehicle development is expected to remain critical. The carmaking business will likely give rise to new products, from small utilitarian autonomous "pods" to highly customized, personally owned self-driving cars, which could be even more amenable to automated production than today's already highly robotized industry. The in-vehicle transit experience could become central: In the United States, drivers spend roughly 160 million hours per day behind the wheel, and much of that time would be freed up by shared and autonomous mobility. "Experience enablers"—including content providers, data and analytics firms, advertisers, entertainment equipment providers, and social media companies—would rush to fill this vacuum and make travel relaxing, productive, and entertaining.
Physical infrastructure enablers could look to provide smart tolling and dynamic road usage pricing as well as traffic flow management. Energy providers and retailers could find themselves managing an increasingly complex supply chain, including battery recharging and replacement. A parallel digital infrastructure could be every bit as critical, as data become the new oil. To succeed in this area, companies likely need to offer seamless connectivity, network security, and a horizontal operating system shared across the ecosystem that can bridge vehicles as well as mobile devices and Internet of Things architectures.
Mobility management will likely be another vital component in the ecosystem. Mobility advisers could aim to enable a seamless intermodal transportation experience, ensuring easy access, a top-notch in-transit experience, a smooth payment process, and customer satisfaction. They could use customer preferences, traffic data, and more to tailor the most convenient and cost-effective mobility plan for each trip. That means developing mobility data collection, predictive analytics, user control, and relationship management.
Clearly, the effects of these changes are expected to spread far beyond the automotive industry, touching everything from insurance and finance to government, energy, and beyond. And as the new mobility ecosystem transforms the way people and goods move about, so too could it transform the nature of work in many areas. Demand for some jobs might fall, existing job tasks could change, new types of jobs will likely be created, and the skills it takes to succeed may shift.
Three drivers of change in the mobility workforce
We see three overarching trends emerging from the future of mobility that could impact what and how work gets done.
Automation and augmentation
Automation is hardly new in the extended global automotive industry. Arguably, it was founded on automation. The assembly line, which segmented and partially automated routine tasks, enabled manufacturers to bring the automobile to the masses roughly a century ago,7 and auto original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have been at the forefront of deploying many new production processes. But the emergence of increasingly sophisticated cognitive technologies, coupled with the growing ability to cheaply monitor all manner of objects via the Internet of Things,8 suggests the scope of tasks open to machine control could increase considerably.
For the future of mobility, that trend could manifest most dramatically and obviously in the emergence of autonomous vehicles. Self-driving cars and trucks pose a challenge to the more than 3.8 million professional motor vehicle operators in the United States (a figure that likely undercounts the many thousands of part-time and contract drivers for ride-hailing and other services).9 The technology is several years away from market readiness, and adoption is likely to be highly uneven and contingent on both regulation and consumer attitudes.10 Nevertheless, the effects could be profound. Deloitte's projections indicate that by 2040, more than 60 percent of passenger miles traveled could be in fully autonomous vehicles.11 It's no surprise that some professional drivers are already organizing to blunt the impact.12
The implications for taxi drivers and truckers may capture headlines, but the effects of artificial intelligence and related technologies on other occupations within the mobility ecosystem would likely be no less profound. For example, vehicle assembly—already highly robotized—is becoming even more automated as industrial robots gain capabilities (such as the ability to "see" using sensors) that enable them to tackle more tasks or take on new forms to assist human workers (such as the "robo-glove" that reduces hand stress from repetitive motions).13 Everything from insurance underwriting to parking enforcement to auto loan origination could see an array of discrete tasks increasingly being executed by some combination of sensors, data analytics, and cognitive technologies.
The size and scope of the impact would likely vary by industry, but figure 2 suggests that a number of mobility-related occupations could be highly susceptible to automation (or "computerization," in the terminology of the economists who calculated the measure).14 These estimates are meant to be illustrative, not exhaustive or determinative, but it seems clear that automation will likely affect a number of roles across the mobility ecosystem.
From physical to digital, goods to services
Even as new technologies may automate and augment how work gets done, an equally fundamental shift could take place in why work gets done. As personally owned vehicles may be decoupled from the concept of individual mobility, especially in urban areas, so too could value increasingly shift away from physical assets and toward the digital capabilities that enable safe, clean, efficient, and customized travel on demand (see figure 3). As a result, data, networks, software, and services are likely to grow increasingly important in all facets of transportation, which could come at the expense of traditional manufacturing.
There have already been some indications of this shift—for instance, the (pre-IPO) value of ride-hailing service provider Uber exceeds that of long-established automakers.15 Deloitte's analysis has found that the breadth of future mobility use cases requiring connectivity is expected to generate data traffic of roughly 0.6 exabytes16 every month by 2020—about 9 percent of total US wireless data traffic.17
As value likely shifts from the physical to the digital and from goods to mobility services, so too could what skills are in demand and how they are valued. Those with fluency in the technologies and services essential to the future mobility ecosystem are expected to be sought after and rewarded accordingly—to take just one example, in the auto supply sector, "computer systems software engineer" has been the most-advertised job opening for several years in a row.18 But there is also a challenge: While the technology-focused jobs that will likely define the future of mobility require higher skills, offer better wages, and promise increased productivity, there may be far fewer of them relative to today's extended transportation industry. That suggests there could be a real need for policy mechanisms to help smooth that transition, including programs such as retraining and income assistance.
Better mobility could drive demand for more mobility
To the extent that technology complements—rather than simply replaces—labor, it can often create a powerful engine for increased productivity and overall job growth. Deloitte's analysis suggests there is tremendous potential value to be unlocked from a reimagined mobility ecosystem. The cost per mile of transportation could drop by two-thirds relative to today in a world of shared autonomous vehicles.19 As mobility potentially becomes cheaper, faster, and more convenient, new population segments (such as the elderly) can gain access, and overall demand could increase. Deloitte estimates that total US miles traveled could increase by 25 percent by 2040.20 Trucking volumes have increased steadily since 2000, driven in part by the rise of e-commerce,21 and show few signs of abating.
All of this could point to significant demand for jobs, with at least the potential to offset or even negate any attrition that automation or shifting sources of value creation might cause. That employment may come from a greater need for existing types of work, but it is just as likely to be generated from entirely new classes of jobs that have yet to emerge. In economic terms, even in cases where households ultimately spend less on a good (in this case, mobility), they can allocate those funds elsewhere (toward, say, in-vehicle content consumption or mobility management services)22—and jobs tend to follow spending.
Preparing a workforce for the future of mobility
How these three trends might play out could differ dramatically by sector, and so too could best practices for preparing organizations' workers. Here we explore just a handful of salient examples of how different industries might be impacted, and how companies might best respond.
Auto OEMs and suppliers
Consecutive years of record sales23 are allowing automotive companies to invest aggressively as they start to define their place within the future of mobility. As they explore new business models, alliances, and technologies, this frenzy of activity may also create change and friction within the workforce. New autoworker roles, with different skills and needs, could emerge alongside new organizational constructs such as crowdsourcing and flexible internal talent markets. Catering to these new roles would invariably affect how companies engage and retain the legacy workforce that has defined the automotive industry for decades. The challenge is likely to create a forward-thinking talent model that meets the evolving need to attract, retain, and develop a new digital workforce, while balancing the resulting cultural and operational shifts with the broader needs of the organization.
While automotive companies pursue autonomous vehicles and new business models centered on ridesharing and mobility services, they should also think through the skills they need to capitalize on these big plays. Many have turned to acquisitions as a quick way to build out their ranks in critical areas, but retaining that purchased talent means that automotive companies must cater to a tech-focused talent market that values flexibility, purpose, and experiences.24 These digitally savvy workers are typically comfortable with independence and transparency.25 In return, they often expect a "complete end-to-end experience"26 designed around teams, productivity, and empowerment.27 This could span everything from the ability to seamlessly shift between assignments to using digital platforms that create talent experiences focused on meaningful and purpose-driven work. Career development and internal mobility can start to take on heightened importance, requiring their own frameworks to manage thousands of individualized experiences that are moving just as quickly as the technology surrounding them evolves.
Integrating new types of workers, skills, and capabilities into a legacy tried-and-true model is often no small feat. Campaigns such as Michigan's "We run on brainpower" aim to pivot perceptions and convince new generations that a Midwestern automotive career can be just as rewarding as one in Silicon Valley.28 But simply adopting the trappings of tech players—coding workdays, onsite childcare, flexible work settings—is unlikely to be sufficient. Automotive companies will likely need the right infrastructure to support this potentially new type of worker and to create the experiences that enable success. Ultimately, middle managers may have to create a new culture of "always on" learning and development through engaging experiences to transform today's talent model into a flexible and open talent market that can effectively accommodate emerging talent needs.
Even as their talent pool shifts and expands, automakers will likely continue to rely on manufacturing-line veterans and the front offices that have kept the lights on for decades. Even there, however, the numbers and skills of those workers could shift as both the types of vehicles being built (such as relatively simple autonomous "pods") and their volumes could change. These workers, just as critical to automakers' success in the future of mobility, often have a different definition for career development, and auto companies would need to balance these different perspectives as they seek to get the talent equation right. That means both building on the rich history already in place and creating a very clear vision for the future—an exciting future that is technology-enabled and customer-focused.
Human resources organizations have a big role to play in driving a new workforce-planning mind-set. The need to forecast skills requirements around analytics, robotics, artificial intelligence, and beyond requires longer-term thinking about how technology could shift the way that work gets done; when new and emerging skills will likely be needed to enable these shifts; and where these skills might sit in the organization. Creating a more flexible model to "right speed" HR to support a changing spectrum of needs can be critical for organizations, as the pace of change is only expected to accelerate.
Managers and HR leaders can start by:
- Unleashing networks of teams. Consider leveraging start-up thinking and breaking down functional silos by building organizational ecosystems through focused, autonomous, and less hierarchical teams that may more quickly incubate targeted and cross-functional outcomes.29
- Rethinking your hierarchy. As organizational networks replace traditional hierarchies, consider revisiting the meaning of "career" and what it takes to develop one by exploring multi-role, flexible career paths rooted in ongoing learning. This can be particularly applicable for parts of the organization engaged in exploring innovative mobility opportunities.
- Developing digital leaders. Risk-taking seems to have become one of the most important drivers of high-performing leadership cultures, and leaders not learning new digital skills are six times more likely to leave their organization within the next year.30 That can make it somewhat critical to develop bold leaders who are comfortable with new tools and management approaches across digital mediums and virtual platforms.
- Pulsing your people. Consider using internal crowdsourcing and hackathons to collect ideas for how to organize and approach performance management, engagement, and rewards to build a compelling employee experience.
- Creating a culture of real-time measurement. Consider investing in applications that provide real-time metrics on engagement, recruiting, and turnover to help your organization make informed and in-the-moment talent decisions.
- Recognizing learning is everyone's job. Learning has become an imperative that must be embedded seamlessly in each part of the organization. Through formal and informal knowledge sharing (such as impromptu lunch groups or on-demand, open-source platforms), consider creating a learning culture to foster an environment in which employees want to continue their development journey. This may become an imperative as new vehicles, new assembly techniques, and entirely new business models could play increasingly important roles in the auto industry.
This is a challenging and exciting time for automakers, as the next generation of talent has the opportunity to reshape an industry defined by iconic global brands. It seems to be time for the auto industry to break with the past, apply grit and dedication, and paint a new chapter for the future autoworker.
There is perhaps no other industry that the future of mobility could more visibly and dramatically affect than the extended transportation sector. The prospect of an 18-wheeler—80,000 pounds of steel and freight—cruising the highway, guided entirely by sensors and software and with nary a driver in sight, likely excites shipping companies and worries gearjammers.31
The transportation sector accounts for a significant portion of the US economy and is expected to represent $1.6 trillion of total GDP by 2045.32 The trucking industry, which accounts for the largest movement of freight, is expected to increase freight movement tonnage by 43 percent by 2040 (from 13.2 billion to 18.8 billion).33 Accommodating this growth would place tremendous pressure on every component of the industry, including its already-strained workforce. Since the 1980s, the trucking industry has experienced a high degree of voluntary turnover, much of it attributed to low wages, an aging workforce, and the deleterious health effects associated with long-haul driving. Those challenges are manifesting in the industry's compliance and safety record: Hours of service violations remain one of the top issues plaguing the trucking industry,34 with crashes involving large trucks ticking up in recent years, though they remain low by historical standards.35 Absent significant changes to its business model and talent pool, it can be difficult to see how the trucking industry could attract the 890,000 new drivers that the American Trucking Associations estimate will be needed through 2025 to meet rising demand.36
The advent of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology could improve or eliminate many of these labor issues. Much of the impact will depend on whether future vehicles are only partially autonomous, employing driver-assist technologies, or truly driverless, with no need or expectation that a human will be in the cabin.
Even relatively modest levels of automation, such as adaptive cruise control for highway conditions, could lead to major reductions in hours of service violations—assuming regulations keep pace and recognize that the toll on a "monitoring" driver is less than that on one actively at the wheel. In the near term, driver shortages and turnover could decrease dramatically if drivers are able to rest more, improving overall health and wellness; younger drivers are attracted to the industry because of the new and sophisticated technologies being used; and wages are increased due to a more sophisticated skill set required to operate and maintain AV technology.
Farther in the future and as AV technology could begin to penetrate the trucking industry, fully autonomous systems may allow the "driver" to be completely absent from the truck, perhaps instead providing remote oversight over several trucks from a central operations center, or in the lead vehicle in a platoon of trucks but focused on planning and logistics while in motion. Duties that require human intervention—such as client relationship management, equipment management, route planning, and cargo management—could gain new importance.
However, new and expanded responsibilities will likely require a shift in skills and potentially the type of jobs needed to manage, operate, and maintain fleets of AVs. For example, "fleet monitors" working at a central hub would need to understand how to use tracking systems, dynamic routing, and AV technologies to ensure that vehicles on the road are operating smoothly. Inspectors and even law enforcement would need to be aware of the new technology and understand the state and federal regulations that govern the new technology. Mechanics, who work for carriers, would need to learn how to perform repairs on increasingly sophisticated autonomous operating systems.
The pace at which the industry adopts AV technologies will likely depend heavily on levels of investment, changes in regulations, and the emergence of supporting infrastructure that would allow the trucking industry to see tangible benefits. Widespread use of even partial autonomy will likely take at least several years, with fully autonomous trucks perhaps a decade away or more.
That said, the industry likely needs to begin preparing its workforce today. To address a world of partially autonomous vehicles, trucking companies should consider:
- What are the economics of incorporating autonomous systems into their fleets? Depending on the distance and complexity of a carrier's routes, its predominant type of freight, and the nature of its labor challenges, investing in partially autonomous vehicles may not make sense. We expect the technology's biggest payoffs to come from reduced driver fatigue, fewer accidents, and improved fuel economy (via platooning) during long-haul trips. Those focused on last-mile delivery may see less upside from upgrading legacy systems.
- Will this influence the owner-operator labor model and affect contract terms and conditions, including the heavy debt burden that independent contractors traditionally incur? In the short term, partially autonomous vehicles may allow owner-operators to drive further and longer.
- For large carriers, what is the most effective way to train a widely dispersed pool of drivers on new technologies? Companies should consider various e-learning options as a starting point, or look to capitalize on natural workforce turnover to bring aboard those familiar with the latest systems.
- Will this impact the compensation model so that trucking companies can increase what they pay employees? If new licensing or technical competencies are required to operate partially autonomous trucks, labor costs could rise.
Over the longer run, as fully autonomous systems may begin to replace drivers altogether, carriers would need to radically reshape their labor forces. Key questions to consider:
- How can employers attract the high-skill, highly educated workforce that would be required to maintain, operate, and oversee a fleet of self-driving trucks?
- What becomes of owner-operators? Without the need for a driver, the viability of the business model for small owner-operators—and the trucking companies that rely on them to haul freight—could be in doubt.
- How will organizational structures adapt? If erstwhile drivers assume dispatch or operations roles, they could affect companies' asset mix and geographic footprint, potentially requiring new operations hubs to house them—or even a shift to a virtual workforce.
The workforce implications of the new mobility ecosystem extend to unexpected corners of the economy. Consider the eldercare sector, where the future of mobility could have a profound impact on the way seniors choose to live. Traditionally, a critical turning point for seniors has been the day they lose their driver's license. This equates to a loss of personal independence that many seniors dread. The resulting dependence on loved ones to shuttle them to social events, shopping excursions, or doctor's appointments has a significant impact on many seniors' sense of self, sense of autonomy, and sense of happiness. This transition to "dependent mobility" often leads seniors and their families to make the move to assisted-care living.37 Yet the vast majority of seniors say they would prefer to stay in their own homes.38
With the advent of convenient and cost-effective ridesharing services, seniors now have the ability to stay in their homes despite the loss of personal driving abilities. With easy-to-use apps, a no-hassle ride experience, and the ability of family members to schedule rides for their loved ones from anywhere, today's ride-hailing providers have improved upon many of the challenges seniors have long faced in utilizing traditional taxis.39 No more calling a dispatcher, waiting an unknown amount of time for the cab to arrive, or fumbling for cab fare.
With ridesharing models, no longer must many non-driving seniors rely on friends and relatives to take time away from work or school to provide a ride to an essential doctor's appointment or weekly bridge club. Personal freedom and mobility can be restored. Major ride-hailing providers are already exploring this space, partnering with cities, health care providers, and others to offer transportation for seniors.40
In parallel, new ways of bringing products to seniors' front doors with speed and convenience often eliminate the need to drive to the store or pharmacy. Mobility solutions that more easily bring goods and services to home-bound seniors are likely to increase in demand, and jobs involved in maintaining and operating these types of delivery services could grow.
How might this dynamic impact the workforce? Beyond the potential boon to ridesharing providers and the increase in demand for home delivery services, there are impacts specific to the eldercare sector. The United States has approximately 1.5 million full-time eldercare workers,41 but caring for an aging Baby Boomer population could demand as many as 5 million workers by 2020, creating the possibility of a severe shortage.42 But if more flexible mobility options allow more seniors to stay in their homes, this shortage could be lessened. There might also be a corresponding rise in demand for home-based care for seniors who do not need constant attention, yet would benefit from occasional help. These roles exist today but in limited numbers, as fixed, institutional roles dominate: Roughly 85 percent of eldercare workers are based in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, with just 10 percent providing home health services.43 (These home caregivers could benefit from the same ridesharing services that their clients enjoy to overcome the need to use a personal car to make "house calls.")
As another result of slackening demand for residential senior care, we may see traditional nursing care and integrated care facilities reconfiguring their services to try to attract seniors who may not need to move to an assisted-care facility but who could be attracted by a more connected community experience, increased social activities, or other characteristics that these facilities can offer. Residential care facilities may choose to team with mobility services to bring seniors to their facilities on a daily basis. This may open up new or expanded job opportunities as these operators could seek to expand on the "customer experience." These facility operators could add or expand roles in marketing, sales, promotion, community relations, communications, digital outreach, or directing social programs.
Ultimately, like many other sectors, eldercare is poised for disruption as a result of dramatic changes in personal mobility: New jobs could emerge, and many current jobs will likely shift or change their focus or manner of delivery. For eldercare, the opportunities for employment growth are already there, given current demographics—10,000 Baby Boomers on average retire each day44—and the shortage of labor in this space. So the impact is potentially a win-win, resulting in either a better-enabled eldercare workforce with more opportunity to choose a workstyle that fits their preferences, or an increase in job opportunities in the eldercare sector as new business models offer different and expanded types of jobs.
Making the future of mobility work
History shows that new technologies often lead to increases in workforce participation for impacted sectors. Famously, since the introduction of ATMs in the late 1970s, the number of bank tellers and bank branch employees has actually increased—but the nature of the work and the tasks they perform have changed.45 The real challenge for workers may lie not in being replaced by a machine but, rather, in how to reskill to work side-by-side with the new tools and capabilities that advanced technologies bring.
The labor implications of the new mobility ecosystem could be profound, and this article only scratches the surface. Deloitte plans to continue exploring the myriad ways that the future of work and the future of mobility might intersect to shape tomorrow's workforce.

nudity reviews for Barry Atsma member submitted
Several scenes throughout
Atsma shows himself rear, side & chest in several scenes. But the film steadfastly refuses to show a frontal.
Nevertheless, this actor, (great face & body) is quite a hunk. When he's on screen, it's hard to pay attention to anything else.
The story, of a wife battling breast cancer, is something of a downer.
On top
Blonde Barry plays the older businessman Martin Kiefer lives with. At about 8 minutes into the movie he has a 30 second scene where he's topping Kiefer. The scene is shot from overhead, which means you get a decent but not great view view of his smooth, trim backside. The scene itself is good but the nudity and angles could have been better.

Balance New York, is an independent expenditure committee, dedicated to winning a clear Republican majority in the New York State Senate.
Elections have consequences and with Bill de Blasio's decisive win in New York City, he is leading the statewide charge to increase taxes and carryout an agenda that will drive families and businesses out New York.
The only line of defense against that happening is electing a Republican majority in the State Senate; committed to defeating these job killing proposals.
We need only to look back to 2009-2010 when there was one party rule in Albany. During that session not only did taxes increase, but spending went out of control and deficits ballooned.
Winning a Republican majority in the New York State Senate is not only possible – but it is critical. Without it we are one vote away from higher taxes and a disastrous agenda none of us can afford.

I've been volunteering my photography skills for shelter animals for about a year and a half now, and it's truly been one of the most rewarding things I've ever committed myself to. This past weekend, we had our annual Mega Adoption Event at the Jacksonville Fairgrounds. Our city shelter, Animal Care and Protective Services (the shelter I volunteer for), joined forces with First Coast No More Homeless Pets, the Jacksonville Humane Society, and all our Jacksonville area rescue groups to find homes for hundreds and hundreds of animals. So guess how many were adopted this weekend! 1,003!!!!
We found a home for our foster dog Lucee the day before the event started so she headed home with her new dad Mike, and our foster kitties Ivy and Lily had their spay surgery last Tuesday so they'd be ready for the event. I'm hoping and praying they were adopted! I'll be going back into the shelter this Friday for another photo shoot. Even though all those animals got adopted last weekend, I'm sure we'll still have plenty of new shelter arrivals for me to photograph this week.
Find something that captures your heart and volunteer. You'll find that it benefits you just as much as it benefits the organization you are serving, if not more! Already volunteering somewhere on a regular basis? Tell me about it in the comments below!

On Thursday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Special Report," columnist Charles Krauthammer argued that President Trump's proposed budget is "dead on arrival."
Krauthammer stated [relevant remarks begin around 4:35] that the budget proposal is "dead on arrival on Capitol Hill."
He then turned to the substance of the budget proposal, arguing that the defense increases "had to be done" after the "destruction" of the defense budget under Obama.
Krauthammer added that the problem with the budget proposal is that it doesn't touch entitlements, which are huge drivers of government spending. He continued that the lack of entitlement reforms forced huge cuts in domestic discretionary spending, that "are never going to happen."

The figure scenes on this volute-krater are confined to a narrow, frieze-like band that encircles the lower element of the neck. This has the advantage of providing a limited and almost straight-walled field on which the painter can work. The uninterrupted, glossy black surface of the body emphasizes its perfect contours, while the lighter clay ground of the curled volute handles and the immaculately painted double lotus and palmette chain draw the eye upwards to the figure scenes.
On one side Achilles fights the Ethiopian king Memnon, brother of Priam, king of Troy and son of Eos, goddess of the dawn. Achilles attacks from the left (as victors generally do in Greek art) and Memnon falters before his onslaught. Behind each hero stands his mother - the sea-nymph Thetis behind Achilles, Eos behind Memnon. According to tradition, the anxious mothers rushed to Zeus, who weighed the destinies of the pair in his balance and found that Memnon's weighed the heavier.
More crucial to the defeat of the Trojans was the death of the Trojan prince Hector at the hands of Achilles, as shown on the other side of this vase. Achilles again attacks from the left, and this time the heroes are backed by their patron deities: Athena signals encouragement to Achilles, while Apollo turns away, abandoning Hector to his fate. Once more Zeus got out the balance, and Hector's fate proved heavier.

Thousands of Emmet County households will be receiving 64-gallon recycling carts for their paper, boxes and bags this month. And with distribution beginning June 20, Emmet County Recycling's staff has entered their final countdown in preparation for launch of the carts. Single-family households and some multi-family buildings in Emmet's current curbside recycling district will receive the carts.
The participating communities are Harbor Springs, Petoskey (including Bay Harbor) and Little Traverse, Bear Creek and Resort townships. First up in continuing preparations for the distribution of the carts is an event to convene and recognize the program's funders. The cost of the carts, their distribution, and education about their use is being shared by 16 funders, including local, state and national corporations, foundations, government units, and nonprofits.
The funders include noted state and the national recycling leaders. The carts are being manufactured by Cascade Cart Solutions of Grand Rapids. The carts will be molded from #2 HDPE (high density polyethylene) plastic with up to 30% post-consumer recycled content. At the same time, Mitchell Graphics of Petoskey is printing and bagging how-to information to accompany the carts. They are using 100% post-consumer recycled-content paper for these pieces. Distribution will start on June 20 and continue through June 30.
"The key things residents need to know about recycling with the carts are that they'll be recycling the same things, sorted the same way, but with much more space to contain it all, and that the rolling cart is for their Paper, Boxes and Bags," said ECR Director Elisa Seltzer. "Their totes will now be for the Mixed Containers."
The curbside recycling program will be collecting the same materials it has been, sorted into the same two "dual stream" categories: · Paper, Boxes and Bags in the new rolling carts, and · Mixed Containers in customers' current green totes. Mixed containers includes metal, plastic and glass containers, as well as paper cartons and cups. Addition of the rolling carts will triple households' capacity for recyclables at the curb. The carts have been designated for the Paper, Boxes and Bags stream because, though some households generate a greater volume of Mixed Containers, the curbside truck drivers observe that most have more volume of Paper, Boxes and Bags.
Also, while the containers are easily corralled in the 18-gallon green totes currently in use for curbside recycling, customers often struggle to contain their cardboard in the totes. "Even many mail-order boxes will exceed the dimensions of a recycle tote," noted driver Grady Smyley.
For more information, residents can visit www.EmmetRecycling.org or call 231-348-0640.

Federal election 2015: Can polls 6 months out tell us who will win?
Polls do have some predictive power, even this far out from the vote
Politicians are fond of saying the only poll that matters is on election day. But polls taken six months before that day can tell us quite a bit, too.
If we look at polling done in pre-election periods over the last few decades, some patterns emerge. The first is that they actually do a very good job of suggesting who will win the vote six months later. The second is that, despite this predictive capability, campaigns matter. Voting intentions can shift dramatically.
And there's a third pattern, which does not bode well for Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau.
Back to the first pattern. Over the last six federal election campaigns where public polling records are relatively robust, only once did the party leading in polls conducted five to seven months before the election fail to secure victory. If we stretch that to the last 11 elections using historical polling data from Environics, the trend continues. In that span beginning in 1979, only twice — in 1988 and 2006 — has the leading party failed to win the most votes six months later.
Those two elections saw big changes during the campaigns. Going into the 1988 free-trade election, the contest was still a relatively close three-way race. It was an entirely different affair in 2006, the only other recent instance of a party losing the lead it held six months before the vote.
Paul Martin's Liberals enjoyed a comfortable nine-point advantage in mid-2005. Though an average of 36 per cent support put a majority government in doubt, the polling margin over the Conservatives was large enough to make it possible. However, the polls shifted in the midst of the 2005-2006 campaign, and the Conservatives won their first victory. Perhaps it was not a coincidence that their last win had come in 1988, when the party had also trailed six months before the vote.
Liberals see frequent drops
The failure of the Liberals to secure re-election in 2006 was just another case of the party faltering in the run-up to an election. In each of the last six elections, the party has dropped significantly from its pre-election standing. Some of the decreases were relatively modest: five points in 2000 and 2008. Others were significant, with the party dropping 10 points or more in the run-up to the elections in 1997, 2004, and 2011.
With the Liberals and Conservatives currently neck-and-neck in voting intentions, the tendency for polls to accurately predict the winner six months out is nullified. But the trend of the Liberals under-performing their pre-election polling at the ballot box tilts the odds in the Conservatives' favour.
The Liberals have averaged a drop of about six points per election since 1979, if we include the more limited polling prior to 1997. Since 1997, that drop has averaged eight points. That is virtually identical to the gains made by the Conservatives and their predecessor parties over that period of time.
In 2011, it was in fact the New Democrats who gained the most at the Liberals' expense. That was the exception. Between 1997 and 2008, the pre-election polls always proved to be predictive of the NDP's eventual vote tally to within two percentage points.
History, then, is not always fated to be repeated. The New Democrats broke the mould in 2011 in more ways than one, and it has been almost 30 years since three parties held a legitimate shot at forming government this far out from the vote. But if the Liberals are to win the federal election six months from now, they will have to break some old trends.

FX's "Lights Out" packs a major punch
In the opening minutes of FX's fantastic new drama "Lights Out," (premiering Tuesday at 10 p.m.) we're introduced to boxer Patrick "Lights" Leary (Holt McCallany) on a particularly tough day. His face has been broken and bloodied during a brutal fight, but Lights is less concerned about his injuries than the fact that he lost a fight that he should have won. He was robbed, he tells his wife, Theresa (Catherine McCormack) who is far more worried about the shattered state of his body. She can't go on watching him withstand this abuse. She won't watch him die. Either he quits fighting, or she quits him.
So he quits. It's a powerful, devastating scene and it automatically announces that "Lights Out" is something special.

LeBlanc great fun on Showtime's "Episodes"
Celebrities playing themselves onscreen generally go in one of two directions: realistic or cartoon. In the former, the celebrity generally plays a version of himself or herself that's as close to the real thing (or, rather, the media image of the real thing) as possible. In the latter, the celebrity plays as broad an image of himself or herself as possible (with Neil Patrick Harris's work in the "Harold and Kumar" movies the obvious example).
When I heard that Matt LeBlanc of "Friends" fame was playing a version of himself on the new Showtime sitcom "Episodes," premiering 9:30 p.m. Sunday, I thought for sure he'd go the cartoon route.
After all, this is the man who gave us Joey Tribbiani. Sure, he's funny, but subtle he ain't.

Reviewing NBC's "The Cape": Seriously?
NBC's new series "The Cape" has all the makings of a delicious piece of camp entertainment. There's a superhero in a goofy costume who goes by a dumb name; circus folk who use their skills to rob banks and even a weird villain named Chess who keeps a chessboard in his lair and speaks in chess metaphors.
And yet, the odd thing about "The Cape" is that almost none of this is played for laughs. The series, which launches with a special two-hour episode Sunday at 9 p.m., is done in dead earnest. Thus, it feels a little odd.

Scooter Stevens, better known as Badger has no information past 1989. I'll put some of the bits I did find but if you know something about him drop me a comment. It's not like I am worried, I just want the info. In the internet world we live in your life is usually easily documented.

Q Do you find that other former child stars have a sense of humor about themselves and their experiences?
A:The only real strong commonality is that we all went to the same places. We all knew the same people. If you see an actor in his 30s who did commercials during the 1980s, you can talk about this kid named Scooter Stevens. He's in Better Off Dead. He plays the little brother who buys the rocket device. Well, Scooter's mom—I don't know how old she was, but she looked like she was in her 40s—she would go to these auditions in these incredibly low-cut, garish evening gowns. They were extremely loud, sparkly things, and she always wore these bouffant wigs. If you asked any kid from Los Angeles who went on commercial auditions for any period of time from 1979 to 1982, they'll probably remember Scooter's mom.

I tried the repair fron 7 dvd and no luck. I also tried this
The DISKPART program recognizes a set of commands.
Most of the ones of interest to you were given in another post.
· type DiskPart, Enter key
· type List disk, Enter key
note the numeral of the disk you want to clean
for example purposes, Ill be using the numeral 0
· type Select disk 0, Enter key
· type Detail disk, Enter key
this info will let you know if you selected correctly
· type Select Partition 1, Enter key
this selects the Win 7 partition
· type Active, Enter key
this declares the partition as the boot partition
· type EXIT, Enter key (this exits DiskPart)
· type EXIT, Enter key (this gets you back where you were)
and this came up
virtual disk service error: the specific partition type is not valid for this operation
I tried gparted and nothing will let me make my main drive the active boot one again.
Do I have to take into the shop and have them fix it since they would have more options or is it something I can fix? I need a fix fast.
Is there a way for me to get the main drive which is partitioned into 2 cloned and then just reformat my whole drive and then clone the files back onto the drive? I'm just fishinbg here.
Is there a win 7 live disk that can be used like the knoppix live?

Can you please start from the beginning and help us help you???
It appears that you have more than 1 HDD, is this the case? Or are you referring to the partitions on a single drive?
If multiple HDDs... which drive did you partition? Boot HDD or other?
Your question is severly lacking in detail...

I have 3 hard drives. My main one is partition into 2. (Drive c and I) I went to resize the c drive and acronis disk manager somehow made that added space into another partitrion and made that a boot one. Not sure if Acronis did that but drive x wound up being the boot drive which I didn't realized until I deleted in through gparted. For some reason my main drive was listed as gpt whatever that was and I never saw my drives listed like that so I converted it to MBR through acronis and now I'm wondering if that is what messed it up.
Now I can't make the c drive which says E in the command prompt the boot one active. Even in the repair win 7 the os isn't there to select to repair.
I ran repair several times but I guess it's not going to work if win 7 isn't listed in the option to repair.

At this point I'm willing to bet that you've royally fouled things up trying to "fix" it. Your only choice may be to reinstall Win7...
Can you send a screen shot of disk management screen?
Also, try removing/unplugging other drives and using only the old C... any changes?

Guess what? I noticed that it had my drives listed as logical so I did a search through this forum and found how to change a logical to primary. Did that through partition wizard boot disk. I had to set the second partition of my main drive which is C and I, so it wouldn't let me set c to primary so I did I and went back to c and then I was able to set that to primary.
Went back into repair mode and there was my win 7 listed there and was able to do the 3 times repair.
Now I'm back in business, now I have to print all this info and hope I don't need it again.
Thanks for taking time to reply and thanks for having a forum with the right answers and solutions. :)

Medication Alternatives for ADHD: Improving Your Brain
The more I research, the more evidence I find that you can have a real effect on any learning disability, attention deficit or other shortcoming of your brain. It's not as easy as taking a pill. But it's certainly achievable, and from what I gather, the changes are lasting or even permanent.
Hold on. If I have ADHD, the only treatment is drugs. Except diets, meditation, and yoga which don't really do much. Right? Continue Reading

Freeman Hrabowski, president of University of Maryland, Baltimore County, to speak at Purdue Martin Luther King Jr. celebration
December 3, 2015
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Freeman A. Hrabowski III, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, on Jan. 19 will keynote the Purdue University celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The theme of the 2016 celebration is The Fierce Urgency of Now.
"Freeman Hrabowski is one of the leading voices in American higher education," said Deba Dutta, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs and diversity. "I cannot think of anyone better to be our MLK speaker this year, and I look forward to welcoming him to campus."
Hrabowski will give the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Address at 7 p.m. in Stewart Center's Loeb Playhouse. It is free and open to the public.
"Purdue is very fortunate to be hosting Dr. Hrabowski as the 2016 MLK keynote speaker," said Jeffrey T. Roberts, Frederick L. Hovde Dean of the College of Science and professor of chemistry. "An inspirational and engaging speaker, he will encourage all students to realize their potential as scholars. This will be a lecture for all Boilermakers – students, faculty and staff - and members of the Lafayette community to savor and enjoy."
President of UMBC since 1992, Hrabowksi also is a consultant on science and math education to national agencies, universities and school systems. He was named by President Obama to chair the President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for African Americans. He also chaired the National Academies' committee that in 2011 produced the report "Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation: America's Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads."
He was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine in 2012 and one of America's Best Leaders by U.S. News & World Report in 2008. He also received the Carnegie Corp.'s Academic Leadership Award in 2011. UMBC has been recognized for inclusive excellence by U.S. News, which the past seven years has recognized it as a national leader in academic innovation and undergraduate teaching.
"We're very excited to have such an inspirational leader as Freeman Hrabowski as our keynote speaker," said Renee Thomas, director of Purdue's Black Cultural Center and co-chair of the Martin Luther King Planning Committee. "He has transformed the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, into an academic powerhouse that graduates STEM majors of all races. His research and writings focus on innovating American schools, with special emphasis on minority participation and performance."
Hrabowski's talk will be preceded by a 6 p.m. candlelight vigil and march from the BCC to Loeb Playhouse, hosted by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.
In addition, the Purdue Dreamer Award also will be presented on Jan. 19 at Loeb Playhouse. The award is presented annually to an individual or organization in the Purdue community whose contributions embody King's vision of service to others and furthers the university's commitment to diversity and inclusion. Nominations for the award are being accepted until Dec. 31. More information, including submission forms and a list of previous recipients, can be found at http://www.purdue.edu/dro/mlk, or contact Carolyn E.

A self-portrait poem focuses on the poet's perception of himself and expresses this view in a lyrical form. The poem could take on any form from a sonnet to a haiku or even a limerick. The reader gets a glimpse of the poet's likeness through the self-portrait poem.Continue Reading
Read and absorb other poets who have expressed themselves in this genre. This is key to understanding this format. Self-portrait poems have been written by poets like Robert Frost in "The Road Not Taken" and Lord Byron in "When We Two Parted."
Once you're more familiar with the genre, spend some time reflecting about yourself, including your personality, your likes and dislikes, your formative years, your biggest influences and your physical attributes. Write down what comes to mind as a free-writing exercise.
Choose a poem format, such as a sonnet, and spontaneously write down lines, using your notes from the self-discovery exercise. Do not edit yourself, but give yourself license to write uninhibited within the format you've picked. After the initial draft, think of metaphors and similes that you can associate with certain aspects about yourself.
Read your poem aloud and revise it. Delete redundancies and rework lines so that the fewest number of words are used to deliver the biggest impact.
