Territorial imperatives for gardening
Poppy mallow, how I love thee.
Well, at least in high summer, I love it. That's my stand of Callirhoe involucrata, purchased from Gulley Greenhouse on the advice of their plant-picker in 2007. Without much supplemental water (I throw it a bucket or two if it's really arid when the plant is trying to get going again in spring), two half-gallon pots of this plant have spread to take over an entire corner and much of the flagstone bath to my backyard gate. It's like a really pushy friend or sibling, doing what it's gonna do no, matter what I say or how I'd like to contain it. But it's a beautiful friend or sibling, and once I let it have it's way, I'm glad I did. That's what you get when you heed local advice.
These bright fuchsia blooms are unstoppable, drinking in the summer sun, closing up shop promptly at sunset. They haven't fussed at my crappy soil. My lackadaisical mulching. My "oh god I don't have time" weeding. They just spread merrily on.
(Now, once frost hits, and until they really start greening up and spreading in late spring, my poppy mallow looks like … nothing. Worse than nothing. Brown weedy dead things. This fall, I'm going to inter-plant their dead vines with lots and lots of colorful wildflower irises and crocus. Garden Promise Number 3,231 …)
I met another merry, adapted blooming plant on Monday when I visited the Louisville garden of Jean Morgan: Chocolate flower. In a garden where the only supplemental irrigation is occasional gifts of her dishwater, a small stand of chocolate flower (Berlandia lyrata) was flinging fragrance out into a morning that simmered the human brain pan. Jean's "Chocolate Lady" garden art, though, was basking in it, her ceramic face raised in closed-eye bliss.
Now, I'd read about chocolate flower for years. Supposed to smell like the real deal. Uh huh. Suuuuuure … and then I snuffled Jean's stand of it. Pow. Like sticking your head into a bag of unwrapped dark-chocolate Lindt truffles. Really and truly, cross my chocoholic heart. Not just chocolate, chocolate backed by BUTTER. Intoxicating. And this wasn't a "big" stand of the plant — it was the size of a small laundry basket. Two stands, really — the little laundry-basket-sized one and then one more, with maybe, oh, half a dozen to 10 blooms on it. But the olfactory effect was one Willie Wonka could have envied. But here's the deal: at noon, when we'd finished our tour of her marvelous little patch of natives, the smell was gone. VANISHED. The blooms had shut their little faces and put the show away. And they weren't much to look at to begin with — a modest little daisy-like flower, cheery enough with its bright yellow petals, but no show-stopper. Not unless you closed your eyes and inhaled. At the right moment.
Oh, now, imagine: Plant chocolate flower in your raspberry or strawberry patch. In your kitchen windowbox. OH! In the herb bed, alternating with lavender! This is fantasy gardening, the kind that takes no sweat, no car trips, no money, no sunburn or scratches or sore muscles — not even a bare patch of earth, which, if I have one this summer, it's covered in bindweed.
The problem with fantasy gardens is that, at some point, you want to actually bring them to life. And chocolate flower? I think I'm going to have to have me some.

Jeff Smith was one of the world's leading motocross racers of the 1950s and '60s. The British-born rider won the 500cc World Motocross Championship in 1964 and 1965 riding for BSA. He was also a six-time member of the winning British Motocross des Nations team. Lesser known, perhaps, but equally significant was Smith's success in the International Six Days Trial (now called the International Six Days Enduro), in which he competed 11 times and earned gold on eight occasions.
After his world championship racing career, Smith moved to Canada and worked in various leadership positions for Can-Am. In 1990, he became executive director of the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) and led that organization through a period of rapid growth.
Smith was born in 1934 in Colne, England and grew up during World War II. His father was a trials rider and he brought home to young Jeff an old two-stroke Triumph when he was nine.
"This was the last two years of the '39 to '45 war, so gas was rationed," Smith explained. "From time to time my father would give me a pint of gas and I would ride it around the field in the back of the house. I recall coming home from school and riding from about 4 o'clock until it got dark."
After the war, Smith's father bought him a 125cc two-stroke BSA Bantam and Jeff began riding in local trials events. His father also had a Norton trials machine he occasionally let Jeff ride. In one famous incident in the Smith family, Jeff's father encouraged him to ride through a particularly tough section in third gear. Jeff cleared the section, but was in second gear. His father got on the machine to show his son what he was talking about.
"He approached the hill in third gear, and of course he had to continue in third because that was the gear that he had decided that the hill should be completed in. And he fell off in a very spectacular fashion and broke his finger. I ran up to him and as he was lying underneath the machine he said, 'You can have the Norton now, because you obviously know what you are doing.'"
Smith progressed and was so successful on the Norton that the manufacturer asked him to become a works rider in 1952. He went on to become the British Trials Champion in 1953 and 1954 after moving to BSA. He not only rode as a BSA factory rider, but also worked in the factory.
Smith's transition from trials to motocross came at a blinding rate. He'd raced only a few local British Scrambles events with some success when BSA asked him if he would like to race the Dutch Motocross Grand Prix as part of the factory team in 1954. He was not expected to do that well, but was there to simply fill out the roster of an impressive BSA squad. Smith jumped at the chance and not only raced the prestigious event, but shocked the motocross establishment by winning.
"Fortunately it rained like mad, so it was really more of a trial than a motocross," Smith said. "When I got back, the head of BSA racing told me that perhaps they should let me race in more scrambles and motocross events."
Within weeks of returning to England, he won the Experts Grand National, a prestigious scrambles event in England. In 1955, he won the British Grand Prix and his motocross career was off and running.
Smith enjoyed a very long career at the world championship level, competing from the mid 1950s to the late 1960s. He raced before some of the largest crowds ever to witness Motocross Grands Prix.
"The biggest crowd I raced in front of was in Leningrad [now known as St. Petersburg in Russia] in about 1962 when there were over 100,000 people watching the event. In Prague the next year there were over 90,000 spectators," Smith says. "I mean that's a very big crowd."
Smith was a master at preserving his machines during a period when motocross machine breakdowns were a constant threat. Motocross bikes were not yet the robust, almost worry-free machines they would become after the Japanese took over the sport. Many a rider lost races and even championships due to mechanical DNFs, but Smith's factory BSAs had an exemplary finishing record.
This was even more impressive considering the fact that the four-stroke motocross bikes of the era were being pushed closer and closer to their mechanical limits by the onslaught of lighter and more powerful two-stroke machines.
During his first 500cc Motocross World Championship-winning campaign in 1964, Smith rode his BSA B40 (what started in production form as a 350cc punched out to 420cc) to six victories in 13 rounds and never once finished off the podium. He won the title that year by a narrow margin over Swede Rolf Tibblin, who'd won the previous two world titles. The championship wasn't decided until the final race.
"By then I was 30, and I have to say that I thought I was never going to win the world championship," Smith said. "Obviously, experience and an excellent machine came together at just the right moment and I managed to win the championship."
In 1965, Smith was so dominant that by halfway through the season he'd already clinched his second world championship. The second half of that year, BSA, with the title already secured, asked Smith to abandon his works bike to have him try to win a Grand Prix on a stock model.
"I have to admit I couldn't do it," Smith said. "I tried and the best I did was finish sixth in the East German Grand Prix. So I earned one world championship point on the standard machine."
Smith's 1965 title proved to be the last hurrah for the thundering four-stroke motocross machines of the era. The next year, 1966, saw East German ace Paul Friedrichs score the first of three consecutive 500cc world titles on CZ two-strokes.
"BSA very much wanted me to win a third consecutive championship," Smith said of the 1966 season. "They assigned a team of engineers and put together a program to build the most technically advanced motocross bike ever assembled. But then things went awry because not all of the engineers were motorcycle engineers and somehow the whole project got out of hand. We had a motorcycle that was basically made out of titanium and it was dubbed by the motorcycling press as the Titan.
"Too many cooks spoil the broth I'm afraid and unfortunately the machine… well it eventually became successful. It would eventually become the B50, but it took four years for that machine to become successful. So we had the whole year in 1966 when we had many problems with the bike on the racetrack. We were really developing the machine at the Grand Prix events and that's not the way you should do it."
In all, he earned nine British championships in addition to his two motocross world titles. Smith also came to America in 1970 and won the first two Trans-AM races ever held, the first in La Rue, Ohio and the next in New Berlin, New York (Unadilla).
His career in racing earned him a visit to Buckingham Palace in 1970, where he was bestowed the honorary British title of Member of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to motorcycling.
Many consider motocross of the mid 1950s to mid 1960s as the Golden Era of the sport. Smith doesn't disagree, but he qualifies his answer.
"Of course the Golden Era of Motocross is a shifting thing," Smith said. "Many consider the time when I rode as a Golden Era of Motocross, but I have no doubt in my mind that Ricky Carmichael has just completed a Golden Era of the sport."
After retiring from full-time competition, Smith helped develop Can-Am's motocross machines in the mid 1970s.
"We tested the motorcycles every day in the desert mountains around Las Vegas," Smith recalls of his early days with Can-Am. "We stayed in a Casino hotel, but I think we were too tired from riding all day to ever do any gambling. We did see Elvis Presley and the guy with all the rings (Liberace)."
He stayed with Can-Am throughout its years of producing motorcycles. He then went on to head up the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) in the 1990s and directed that sanctioning body through a time of rapid growth when the organization went from around 800 members to over 5000. He retired from his leadership position of the AHRMA in 1999.
Smith also served multiple terms on the Boards of Directors of both the AMA and AHRMA.
When inducted into the Hall of Fame, Smith and his wife, Irene (sister of another famous British racer, John Draper) were retired and living in Wisconsin. Their son and daughter also became vintage motocross racing champs. Even through his 70s, Smith still won various vintage championships on 1960s-era machines such as his beloved BSA.
Smith approaches his vintage racing a little lower keyed than his world championship days. "My wife said to me 20 years ago, 'It's time for you to stop racing,'" Smith says with a laugh. "I said 'OK, I'll just ride from now on.' So I just ride these days."

Nicaragua Finca Buenos Aires Maracaturra, a 'big bean' varietal with a nice taste of fudge and slab apricot.
Nicaragua Acopio Suyatal is a solid coffee with green nut and unrefined sugars.
Guatemala Huehuetenango - Finca Rosma, with brooding sweetness and a boquet of dark fruits.
Sumatra Lintong - Opung BR. Expect lots of developed sugar flavors, chocolate raisin, and smoky chipotle/chocolate.
Take advantage of lower prices on our Rwanda offerings and on Burundi Kirimiro Teka. No, this isn't because of lagging cup quality, but rather, because we simply over bought this year. The super low price on the very balanced Rwanda Nyamasheke makes this an affordable coffee to share with family, office, friends, etc. We took the time to re-cup all of these coffees the other day and they all taste great.

|On the red carpet at the Right to Play event
Being an Olympic athlete has inspired me to do a lot of things. It motivated me to work hard; first in gymnastics, and later in aerials, not to mention in school. And this year it motivated me to join an amazing nonprofit organization called Right to Play. Although I have been fortunate enough to travel and compete for a living, not everyone has such great opportunities. Right to Play gives hundreds of thousands of kids opportunities they may otherwise have never been given. The organization's motto is "to use sport and play to educate and empower children and youth to overcome the effects of poverty, conflict, and disease in disadvantaged communities." Last week I was invited to attend Right to Play's biggest fundraiser of the year, their Red Ball Gala as an athlete ambassador. One day I hope to go in the field and see Right to Play in action. At the Right to Play event, I was one of 32 Olympic athletes there, with the likes of Natalie Coughlin, Alison Felix, Nathan Adrian, Joey Cheek, Summer Sanders, some of the ladies water polo team, Tim Morehouse, Bonnie Blair, Dan Jansen and Right to Play founder Johann Olav Koss – I could go on and on.
|At the Washington Redskins game with my agent
While in New York City, I also did some of the normal tourist things. I went to the Empire State Building, ate pizza and ran through Central Park. I had some close encounters with a few taxis as well! I also got to have dinner with a client of my agent, Olympic silver medalist Tim Morehouse and his fiancée Rachael and went to an amazing Italian market like I have never seen before called Eataly. It is on 5th Avenue near the Flatiron Building. If you like food, you have to check out Eataly, which is a Mario Batali creation. Mario is the guy you might see all the time with orange Crocs on in the kitchen on TV. Go there, you won't be disappointed.
The day I flew into to NYC, I left Houston at 6 a.m. and landed at JFK at 10:45 a.m. I took a town car right from the airport straight to the Redskins game at Met Life Stadium with my agent who got us sweet seats behind the Skins bench on the 40 yard line to see them play the Giants. Although it was a great game, unfortunately the Redskins lost on a last-minute 70+ yard touchdown pass by Eli Manning after the Redskins had taken the lead only a minute earlier on a great drive led by Robert Griffin III who was scrambling out of trouble everywhere to make the play.
|With Team USA lugers
Growing up in Ashburn, Virginia, where the Redskins practice, has made me a pretty big fan. I love cheering on young guns like RG3! And being the daughter of a Clemson quarterback, I throw a pretty tight spiral (not to brag). One of the funny things that I have learned being a professional athlete is that no matter how crazy or daring the public thinks your sport is, all professional athletes really appreciate other elite level athletes, no matter what sport they do. Some people might think that aerials is a crazy sport that takes a lot of guts and deserves a lot of respect but I think that to do any sport at a high level requires a lot of talent and hard work! The photo on the right is with some of the women's luge national team! They are some of the coolest girls I know and they do the fastest sport on ice! That sport takes some guts! Right now they are in Sochi checking out the Olympic venues!
After the event I went back to Houston for another week with my family. I played a lot of tennis and did a lot of workouts at the local gym. One day I went to NASA, which is four miles away from my house. My brother and I learned about life in space and the entire space program. We got to see Mission Control and a building full of mock sections of the International Space Station where astronauts practice. The mock sections reminded me of our water ramp facilities. They look a lot like our snow jumps and they help us practice with less risk, but at the end of the day nothing compares to the real thing!
Each day getting closer to snowfall increases the anxiety and anticipation. Unlike a lot of sports, we can't do the real thing all year long. For four months we can jump on snow and feel the satisfaction of all those months of hard work during the off-season. The best part about snow jumping is the landing. You don't get the same satisfaction landing on water because the water is so forgiving. Snow is not, so landing that perfect jump really gives you a sense of accomplishment. And just like surfers search out perfect waves, that is what aerialists live for; the perfect jump with the perfect landing. And in a couple of weeks I get to start working again towards those perfect jumps!
Thanks again for following my blog!
The Russian phrase of the day is "Hello, where can I buy hot chocolate?" OR "Previet, gde ya magu kupeet gorechee chocolat?" I try and learn this one in every language!

Growth puts strain on internal communications
As the company grew, communications across different departments became harder, not helped by ongoing regulatory pressures that impact on financial products. Compounding the problem was an existing solution that made it hard to access reports and obtain an accurate overview of the business – where it was at and where it should be heading.
"It became very apparent to all of us, if all of the data was in one centralized location then everyone could have access to current information all of the time," said Karen Zfaty, Director of Marketing Information Systems. It was time to find a new solution.
Right balance of features and price
Karen Zfaty had identified three key functions she wanted from a CRM system: track new prospects, track existing clients and track plans that had already been implemented to make sure they were still compliant with changing regulations.
PARS found all three in Sage which also struck the right balance in terms of features and price. As well as providing a single repository for all customer information that could be easily accessed and used to generate reports, Sage was integrated across different parts of the business with new fields added to match the application to the business need.
Because Sage is delivered through a web browser, field sales representatives can access it from anywhere using various portable devices such as iPhones, iPads and laptops. Sage has become essential to the sales team and made them much more productive.
Single view drives greater efficiency
Revenue at PARS has grown by around 60% over four years, something that Zfaty doesn't think would have happened without Sage. Other benefits include greater efficiency and much better visibility of the business through better reporting, not least because Karen Zfaty is able to produce them much more quickly. "Sage has increased our efficiency dramatically. I used to spend literally weeks preparing reports that I can now do in hours," she said.
She described the detail of what they deliver as "phenomenal", revealing what the company is doing currently and what it should look to do in the future to become more successful. "We have access to a lot detail about individual clients, individual processes; plans we've implemented," she said. "We simply wouldn't be able to function the way we do without Sage."

Liberty News
Snowflex rental building under construction
When students set foot onto the Liberty Mountain Snowflex Center for the first time, one attraction will make them feel they are vacationing at a mountain resort. Crews are now constructing the slope's rental facility, a two-story building composed of wood framing and architectural stone.
"This is the first type of building where we have done anything like this at Liberty," said Alan Askew, project manager. "It's wood framing where so much of the [building projects] we do here is metal framing and metal siding. It's going to be something like you would see out west at a ski resort."
Along with adequate space for equipment fitting and shelving, the structure will consist of management offices, restrooms, a commons area and exterior decking.
|Artist's rendering of future rental facility at Liberty Mountain Snowflex Center.
When patrons are not checking out skis, snowboards or tubes, they can relax with friends in the comfort of the upstairs lounge. There they can enjoy delicious snacks and watch riders glide downhill on Liberty University's artificial incline.
Both floors will be approximately 4,000 square feet and will hold a total of 100 occupants. A ramp is also being installed to allow wheelchair access to the top level. Askew said the entire project is expected to be completed around the start of summer.
Progress on the slope continues as workers are nearing the end of the initial grading. Lee Beaumont, LU's director of auxiliary services, said Snowflex tiles will be installed beginning in mid-April. In the meantime, a retaining wall is being built for the 11-foot quarter pipe, a feature enthusiasts will encounter as they approach the slope's final section.
"The weather over the past few months has really slowed down this particular project," Beaumont said. "When you are grading on the side of a mountain in the middle of winter, rain and snow are not your friends. However, with the approach of spring we now are able to put the hammer down and will complete the project in short order."

1. The establishment of an Advisory Group on Tax and Social Welfare was announced by the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Joan Burton T.D. on 25 June 2011. The main rationale for the establishment of the group is to harness expert opinion and experience to address a number of specific issues around the operation and interaction of the tax and social protection systems, recommend cost-effective solutions as to how employment disincentives can be improved and better poverty outcomes, particularly child poverty outcomes, achieved and to identify the specific practical institutional and administrative improvements to their operation. A considerable level of analysis has already taken place, therefore, the emphasis of the Advisory Group will be on identifying and solving specific problems within the priority areas bearing in mind that they are interdependent. These priority areas are reflected in the proposed terms of reference and mode of working of the Advisory Group.
2. The Government agreed the following terms of reference for the Advisory Group:
a. To constitute a forum to which the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection may refer specific issues around the income supports and tax systems so that they provide good incentives to take up work and to contribute to the reduction of poverty and child poverty in particular. In particular, the Advisory Group will examine the following specific issues and make recommendations on:
b. To examine and report on issues involved in providing social insurance cover for self-employed persons in order to establish whether or not such cover is technically feasible and financially sustainable;
c. To examine and report upon how to improve interaction between the tax, social welfare systems and other supports so as to improve the operation of both in a cost-effective way and in the delivery of positive social and economic outcomes;
d. To examine and report upon any other issue that may be referred to the group by the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection following consultation with the Ministers of Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform and the agreement of the Minister for Finance on taxation matters.
It is intended that the Advisory Group should consider any proposals for change to existing arrangements in a cost-neutral or cost-reducing context.
3. Following Budget 2012, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection, Joan Burton T.D. refers the following additional terms of reference to the Advisory Group:
4. Submissions received by the Advisory Group on Tax and Social Welfare are an important source of views for it in fulfilling its mandate. They also provide interested parties with an opportunity to make proposals on one or more of the topics covered in the terms of reference. This document outlines guiding principles for submissions to the Advisory Group.
5. A full list of those who make submissions will be included as an appendix in the Advisory Group's report or interim report, as the case may be. All submissions may be released under the Freedom of Information Acts 1997 and 2003 and form part of the report/s of the group. Submissions may also be made available on the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection's website at 'www.welfare.ie'
6. The Advisory Group may, at its discretion, seek oral presentations from some organisations or individuals, but this will be done only where the Advisory Group considers that such presentations are necessary to its work. It is not considered feasible or necessary to hold oral hearings with all those who make submissions.
7. Written submissions should be concise and structured, and should follow the sequence of the topic headings outlined in the terms of reference above. These headings have been drafted on the basis that each submission is likely to be concerned primarily with a particular area in the terms of reference. However, submissions covering more than one area in the terms of reference will be welcome. It is not necessary for a submission to cover every topic.
Terms of reference area to which the submission relates
8. The terms of reference area to which the submission relates should be indicated. The terms of reference are outlined above in sections 2 and 3.
9. If the submission covers part of an area or a number of areas, this should be specified. If applicable, the submission should indicate the writer's professional or other interest in the topic.
Proposals for change
10. In the case of each proposal for change, a submission should include the following:
Non-structured section of the submission
11. Any further information, comments, views or suggestions which the individual or organisation concerned believes would be of assistance to the Advisory Group should also be included.
Format for correspondence
12. Where possible, submissions should be emailed to the Advisory Group at: firstname.lastname@example.com. While electronic format is strongly encouraged, persons who wish to make a submission but who are not in a position to do so by email may make their submission in writing and post to:
Joan Gordon Secretary to Advisory GroupDepartment of Employment Affairs and Social ProtectionÁras Mhic Dhiarmada Store StreetDublin 1
13. The individual or organisation making the submission should include contact details – including an email address if possible – with the documentation. All correspondence will be acknowledged by the Secretariat.
14. Follow-up queries may be made by the Secretariat in respect of particular issues raised in submissions where, for example, further clarification is required. In general, however, ongoing communication between correspondents and the Advisory Group and/or Secretariat in relation to individual submissions is not envisaged.
15. Any queries regarding these guidelines should be directed to the Secretariat, who will be happy to assist.

WASHINGTON -- When the first black president of the United States walked into the White House press room to talk about Trayvon Martin and the complexities of race in America last Friday, the people poised to convey his remarks to the world were overwhelmingly of one race -- white. At a time when one of the most contentious subjects in Washington is immigration reform -- an issue of great import to many Hispanics -- the people questioning the president on a regular basis are unlikely to be Hispanic themselves. But does that matter? The mainstream news media have always been disproportionately populated by white journalists. In 2012, according to the American Society of News Editors' most recent annual survey, 12.4 percent of 38,000 newspaper journalists were racial minorities. The figure for TV journalists was 21.5 percent, and for radio it was 11.7 percent, according to the Radio Television Digital News Association. These figures haven't changed much even as the nation's minority population has increased to about 37 percent of the total, the U.S. Census Bureau says. Among the small but influential subset of reporters who cover the White House -- arguably the most prestigious beat in American journalism -- the numbers are roughly the same. Of the 53 correspondents who regularly report from the White House, seven are African American or Asian American, according to head counts by a dozen White House correspondents, journalism organizations and other sources (figures on other minorities aren't available). "There are just so few," said Martha Joynt Kumar, a Towson University political scientist who has kept detailed tallies on participants in White House news conferences for decades. The numbers haven't budged over decades, and may in fact have declined over time, according to George Condon, a National Journal reporter who has been researching the history of the White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA), a group that represents reporters in coverage-related issues with the administration. One measure of the group's minimal diversity: Only three African Americans have ever served on the WHCA's board during its 99-year history, Condon said. Given the symbolic nature of the job, the largely unchanging face of the White House media pool has long been a disappointment to organizations that represent minority journalists. In a somewhat ironic twist, "there was a noticeable drop" in the number of black journalists covering Obama after his first election in 2008, said Gregory Lee, the president of the National Association of Black Journalists. The current situation, he said, "simply does not reflect the America we see changing on a daily basis." Condon, a journalist in Washington for 31 years, offers a mixed assessment of whether race makes a difference in how the presidency and the issues surrounding it are portrayed: "You don't have to be Protestant to write about a Catholic president or Polish to cover Lech Walesa and Solidarity. People here are awfully good reporters. They cover lots of things that aren't in their backgrounds." To be sure, reporters of every background haven't been shy about questioning Obama and his administration about every subject under the sun, including those of special interest to minority groups. But at the same time, Condon acknowledges that a reporter's racial heritage can influence his or her priorities and perspectives and the kinds of questions that get asked at the White House. He notes that April Ryan -- an African American who reports for the American Urban Radio Networks -- is "often asking questions that someone else would not ask." A 16-year veteran of the White House beat, Ryan has frequently peppered officials with questions about poverty, race, education and other issues that aren't always at the top of other reporters' agendas. She pressed several administrations, for example, about stalled payments to 90,000 black farmers who had won a $1.2 billion judgment against the Department of Agriculture for discrimination in its farm lending programs. She also scored a rare interview with Obama during his recent trip to Africa. In an interview outside the White House press room, Ryan said her background, as well as her news organization's primary audience of African Americans, does affect the way she approaches her job. "You are the sum of your experiences," she said. "You might be able to shed more light on things that others ignore as a result of your cultural background." She adds: "When you look around that [press] room, you don't see an audience that looks like the country. It's changing -- there are more women -- but white males dominate. It's still not America you see there." Richard Prince, who writes Journal-isms, a blog about diversity issues in the news media, says the complexion of the White House press corps is important because of the subtle but important role journalists play in shaping the president's agenda. "The White House is quite conscious of which reporters are present, and the president tailors his conduct accordingly," says Prince. "He knows that so-and-so is likely to ask a question about a given topic. [So] having more people of color in the room means more opportunities for the president to be asked about topics of particular concern to those constituents." Prince points to Obama's revealing interview with the Univision network during the 2012 campaign during which anchors Jorge Ramos and Maria Elena Salinas pressed him on his promise to pass immigration reform during his first year in office. The tough questioning eventually yielded a newsworthy admission: "I think that I've learned some lessons over the last four years, and the most important lesson I've learned is that you can't change Washington from the inside," Obama said. "You can only change it from the outside." The relative lack of minority journalists working at the White House may reflect a combination of self-selection and discriminatory hiring and promotion, says Doris Truong, a Washington Post editor who is the acting president of Unity: Journalists for Diversity, an umbrella organization for minority journalism groups. Often, she said, minority journalists don't "put themselves on the trajectory" that leads to the White House beat. But just as often, she said, those making hiring decisions hire people they "identify with." Said Truong: "If you only hire people who look like you, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy." But economics may play a role, too, particularly among news outlets serving minority audiences, said Kumar of Towson University. During the Carter administration, she said, newspapers aimed at African American readers, such as the Chicago Defender and Amsterdam News, employed regular White House correspondents. But these publications have pulled back. Similarly, "black" news organizations such as BET and Jet, which covered Obama on the campaign trail, haven't made a permanent commitment. Kumar notes that such a manpower investment might not yield much since new arrivals literally take a back seat in the White House press room and thus rarely have a chance to ask questions during news briefings. In a rigidly hierarchical structure, the reporters who sit in the first two rows of the seven-row room tend to get called on the most by the press secretary or the president. Those seats are reserved for reporters from the biggest and oldest news organizations, primarily the TV networks and major newspapers, including The Washington Post.
Obama's media pool lacks racial depth, but does that matter?

Spondylolysis is a defect or fracture on one or both of the wing-shaped parts of a vertebra, usually in the lower lumbar region.
Spondylolysis is usually detected sometime during childhood. It may occur for one or more reasons.
Most people can manage spondylolysis by resting from strenuous activity, doing stretching and strengthening exercises, and taking pain relief medicine, such as ibuprofen. Surgery is rarely needed, although it may be considered for people who do not respond to other treatment.

Should you invest in an electric breast pump? A double pump? A lightweight pump? If you're in the market for a breast pump, ask yourself these questions and more.
Many breast-feeding mothers consider breast pumps as important as car seats and baby wipes. Whether you're going back to work or simply want the flexibility a breast pump can offer, you'll have many choices. Here's help deciding which type of breast pump is best for you.
If you'll be away from the baby only occasionally and your milk supply is well-established, a simple hand pump might be all you need. You simply place a cone-shaped shield on your breast and squeeze the handle to express the milk. If you're returning to work full time or you're planning to be away from your baby for more than a few hours a day, an electric pump is a better option.
Consider waiting to get a pump until after your baby is born, when you might better know how you'll be using it.
A typical pumping session lasts about 10 to 15 minutes a breast. If you'll be pumping at work or in other time-crunched situations, you might want to invest in an electric breast pump that allows you to pump both breasts at once. A double-breast pump helps stimulate milk production while reducing pumping time by half.
You can buy breast pumps from medical supply stores and most drugstores and baby stores, as well as many discount department stores. Electric pumps typically cost more than manual models. Because there's a small risk of contamination, don't borrow or buy a used personal-use breast pump.
You might also consider renting a hospital-grade electric breast pump from a hospital or medical supply store — especially if you're pumping milk while your baby is hospitalized or you've chosen to feed your baby expressed milk rather than breast-feed your baby. If you rent a pump, you'll need to buy the equipment that attaches your breast to the pump (pumping kit).
Most health insurance plans cover the cost of buying or renting a breast pump.
If the breast pump is difficult to assemble, take apart or clean, it's bound to be frustrating — which might reduce your enthusiasm for pumping. Make sure you can remove any parts of the pump that come in contact with your skin or milk for cleaning after use.
If you'll be toting the pump to work every day or traveling with the pump, look for a lightweight model. Some breast pumps come in a carrying case with an insulated section for storing expressed milk. Also keep noise level in mind. Some electric models are quieter than others. If it's important to be discreet, make sure the pump's noise level is acceptable.
What's comfortable for one woman might be uncomfortable for another. If you opt for an electric pump, choose one that allows you to control the degree of suction and cycling speed.
Breast shields are the cone-shaped cups that fit over your breasts and nipples. If you're concerned that the standard breast shield will be too small, check with individual manufacturers about other options. Larger or replacement shields are often available. If you want to pump both breasts at once, make sure the pump is equipped with two breast shields.
An electric pump needs to be plugged in. If an outlet isn't accessible or the power fails, you'll need a rechargeable battery pack. In case of emergency, you might want to keep a manual pump handy.
If you're not sure which type of breast pump would be best for you, ask for help. A lactation consultant can help you make the best choice — and offer support as you start to use your breast pump or if you run into trouble. If you haven't worked with a lactation consultant, ask your baby's doctor for a referral or check with the obstetrics department at a local hospital.

Commissioner Weaver talks trash
Special to The Examiner from the desk of Jefferson County Precinct 2 Commissioner Brent Weaver:
Mowing season is here and many times our county precinct mowers, which operate along the county roadways, are delayed by trash that has been dumped on the side of the roadway.
Jefferson County has received citizen complaints and observation by County employees that debris has been disposed of on the County Road right-of-way and/or ditch area adjacent along our county roads in the rural areas. Illegal dumping is a big problem in Jefferson County especially along our county roads in the rural areas such as Hildebrandt, Humble Camp, Stein Hagen, Labelle and several other roads. With increasing and growing population out in our rural areas many residents complain about the illegal dumping and we report it to law enforcement and environmental control.
Illegally dumped waste ranges from a bag of trash somebody throws in a county ditch or along the county roadway to hundreds of dumped tires, refrigerators, stoves, sofas and everything in between. But, big or small, illegal dumping creates health risks, lowers property values, blocks drainage and is a burden to the taxpayers for precinct crews to clean up. Another concern is the trash and debris that is dumped along our county roadway gets into the ditches and stops our drainage flow of water during rainfall and could cause flooding to nearby neighborhoods or homes and even roadways resulting in a traffic hazard.
Because proper drainage is essential to protect the homeowners property and the property of your neighbors during time of heavy rainfall, we are asking that you help us identify the person or persons responsible for this illegal dumping of debris so that the violators may be held responsible for removal.
If you can help us identify the responsible parties; please contact the Jefferson County Environmental Control at (409) 719-5910 or the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office at (409) 835-8411. If you observe someone improperly disposing of debris in the county right of way and/or ditch area please make every effort to identify the responsible person(s) by providing a license plate or other description of person or vehicle and notify one of the above listed offices.
We want to do all we can to keep your property and our roadways as safe as possible from floodwaters.
