With Father's Day on Sunday, there is good news and bad news. First the negative: Single mothers head up almost 9 percent of American households.
The good news? Fathers who care are making a huge difference in this country.
How do I know? It is estimated that close to 40 percent of all those incarcerated in the USA did not have a father in their childhood home.
So doing the math, a responsible father seems to be a strong force for promoting righteous conduct.
It was never easy being a father. Did you know that American icon Davy Crockett abandoned his children? And many other famous men did, as well. Shameful.
You can't be a real man if you don't look out for your kids. They need you.
There are plenty of books by dads explaining the dilemma of contemporary fatherhood, and it is true that dad-ism in today's high-tech world is not easy. My father firmly embraced the Ralph Kramden philosophy: He was king of his Levittown castle. He worked hard, and his family deferred to his wishes.
Except me. I did not defer and was disciplined accordingly.
But today most fathers don't rule as my father did. In general, modern dads are more enlightened. We bring diplomacy to the home rather than the "my way or the highway" post-World War II paternal strategy.
But looking back, I clearly understand that witnessing a "chain of command" approach in my house was a positive thing for me. My father provided a strong point of view on life and was a leader. Boys, especially, need that.
Even though I am now a 1 percenter economically, I rarely waste money. Every time I am tempted to buy some dopey thing, I hear my late father's voice: "Do you really need that?" He was big on saving money and buying as much security as possible. He also encouraged charitable giving. So I am responsible with currency.
Also, I go to church every Sunday because my family always went to church. It didn't matter if the priest was speaking Flemish from the pulpit — we went. It was an obligation. Now, I fulfill my obligations. All of them.
My father also taught us to respect our country. He was a naval officer. So there was no slacking on Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Veterans Day. We knew what they meant. Today, a flag flies daily in front of my house.
Finally, I was never really tempted by drugs and alcohol. My father thought addicts were weak and intoxication was stupid. I never saw him high. He had a beer or two but never lost control of himself.
By osmosis, I have adopted the sober attitude. It really has served me well.
As a teenager, I called my dad "the monster" to his face. He laughed. He even referred to himself as "the monster" when doling out orders to his offspring. There were many times when I resented my tough dad and wanted Ozzie Nelson to replace him.
But now I'm a father, and I realize that status is the most important thing in my life. There's no question who provided that perspective.
So on Father's Day 2013, I remember my dad and the indelible gifts he gave me.

When it comes to creating the cities of the future, the latest buzzword often mentioned is "smart cities." But what exactly makes a city smart?
There are many definitions of a smart city, and they all include concepts that are sustainable, liveable, intelligent, and green. Among the green concepts so-called green walls are becoming more and more popular as a pocket size remedy in a micro-urban environment, offering many social and environmental benefits for the general public. In addition to promoting a static growth of green spaces, smart cities can use those green walls to increase biodiversity, reduce noise levels, lower the urban heat island effect, and also contribute to minimizing dispersion of particular matter from traffic and pollution.
Furthermore, green walls can greatly help counteracting the loss of biodiversity due to urbanization. Such green walls consist of a variety of plants, pollinators, and invertebrates and also serve as habitat and nesting spots for many bird species. Local plants or adapted plant species can be used for the green walls for maximum benefits and will vary based on the local environment. Often the walls include plants with strong root structures, such as grasses, vines, and other climbing plants. Compared to other plants, vines grow faster and are hardy and drought-resistant. Since vines use most of their energy to grow leaves rather than trunks, they sequester 60 to 100 times more carbon dioxide than trees. Vine systems do not have runoff issues, like rooftop grass, because their roots are retained in a planter. Vines are also cheaper than most other plants used for green roofs. Vines suitable for outdoor green walls include Queen's Wreath and Cat's Claw vines.
Green walls result in noise reduction and muffle high-frequency sounds. They can even block low-frequency noises when created with a substrate or growing medium support. The reduction of the heat island effect is another benefit of green walls as the vegetation in urban environments advances the naturally occurring cooling processes, including evapotranspiration and photosynthesis. Continuously recycled water systems can be integrated into green walls with built-in irrigation systems where the water is collected from the bottom of the wall and returned back to the top. Indeed, strategic placement of green walls cools down the air and also the buildings benefit from significant energy savings. They provide thermal insulation and reduce energy usage for heating or cooling, thus resulting in less pollution. Furthermore, they may be a great factor in pollution reduction in cities by sequestering carbon dioxide, capturing particulate matter, and lowering extreme summer temperatures through evaporation of water in the plants' medium.
Many case studies reveal the benefits of green walls. A recent study from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany shows that green walls can possibly decrease air pollution in the corridor between tall buildings, called a "street canyon." In a Western European city, the researchers developed a computer model of a green wall with generic vegetation and recorded the chemical reactions based on several factors, such as building placement and wind speed, and the simulation exposed an unmistakable correlation. In a street canyon, the green wall trapped or sequestered large amounts of nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter pollutants that are harmful to people.
At the Tempe Transit Center Covered in Green in Tempe, Arizona, green walls provide a buffer from the harsh sun and heat and facilitate cooling and shade for the surrounding areas through evapotranspiration. Queen's Wreath and Cat's Claw vines were used for the installation, and a rainwater downspout that conveys water into a bed of soil was also integrated.
In order to renovate a building from the 1960s, Arizona State University incorporated greenscreen green walls to cool the interior, clean the air, and support the design. The greenscreen includes desert-tolerant vines, grasses, and flowers, and they plan to add herbs and more flowers in the future. Moreover, the installation and greenery creates shade for the area and has become popular with students and faculty as a shaded space for lunch and socializing.
Besides environmental benefits, green walls offer societal benefits, including the opportunity for beautifying areas, urban agriculture, and natural healing. The greenery can visually enhance the areas outside as well as inside to naturally draw more people to locations. Green walls can also be used in forgotten spaces for vertical gardens of small fruits, vegetables, and herbs to benefit local communities and help alleviate food deserts. Additionally, through green walls, natural processes of healing can be facilitated in public areas, restaurants, and other institutions. In particular, greenery and green walls in hospitals can help to remedy patients and turn a dreary hospital into a paradise with the natural healing powers of nature. Green walls are a critical aspect of smart cities and a powerful micro-tool for contemporary urban built environments.

Although the Chestnut Hill College women never held the lead during a March 28 conference lacrosse match at Philadelphia University, the Griffins had the score tied three times and didn't let the host Lady Rams breathe easy until the final horn sounded on a 14-11 Philly U. victory.
"I have girls who are fighters and we never give up for a second," stated first-year CHC head coach Katie Lee, whose Griffins have come from behind in several of their victories this season. "Even when they went up by three with a minute and 17 seconds left, we were still trying to fight back.
"They were second in the conference and we were third, so we were hoping to get into that second spot today," Lee added. "We'll see them again at our place, though."
The Lady Rams improved to 3-3 overall and 3-0 in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, and Chestnut Hill slipped to 3-4, 2-2. CHC sophomore Nicole Covella and Philly U. freshman Emily Ray each chalked up four goals to lead their respective squads in scoring. In goal, the Lady Rams' Cory Lombardo secured the victory with six saves, while the Griffins got nine stops from junior Jenn Delahanty.
CHC played without one of its defensive mainstays, sophomore Nicole Ehrhardt, who was attending to a personal matter.
Throughout the match, the Lady Rams would forge ahead and the visitors would battle back into contention. In a little over five minutes the hosts jumped out to a 3-0 lead, but by the middle of the period markers by senior Jillian Sanger, Covella, and junior Kelly McKay tied it up for Chestnut Hill. The tally was tied again at 4-4 and 6-6, but with 26 seconds to go in the opening period Philly U. gained a 7-6 halftime lead as an assist by Andi Sacarro found scorer Kalin Hodel right in front of the Griffins cage.
The Lady Rams' momentum carried over into the second half, with Saracco scoring in the opening minute and Ray and Taylor Peltzer following suit to make it 10-6. With 18:40 left to play CHC sophomore Lindsay Alexander appeared to snap the string with a goal for the Griffins, but she was called for a dangerous follow-through and the goal was negated.
Instead, Ray scored again to put Philly U. up by five (11-6) with 17:35 left to play.
"Their double teams were very good and we struggled a little bit," admitted CHC's Lee. "We didn't get off as many shots as they did."
However, the Griffins began to draw fouls on some of those Lady Ram double teams, leading to some free-position shots.
With 15 minutes to go Covella cashed in on the first of these opportunities, netting the visitors their first point of the second half. Just over two minutes later, Alexander drove to the crease and scored to make it 11-8. Lombardo, the Lady Rams' keeper, foiled a shot by CHC's McKay as she looped out from behind the cage, but on another Covella free position, a low shot by the sophomore went in off of Lombardo, and the gap was cut to two goals (11-9) with 9:40 to play.
With five minutes left Sacarro scored the home team's 12th goal of the day, but CHC answered 40 seconds later, as Covella once again made good on a free-position shot. Philly U. went up on the attack, then a loose ball near the goal was scooped up by the visitors' Alexander, who got off an outlet pass to Sanger. The Griffins' senior captain romped two-thirds the length of the field to score, making it a one-point game with 3:02 on the clock.
The Lady Rams seized the subsequent draw and soon led 13-11 thanks to a successful drive by sophomore Kelly Morgan. With 1:40 to go Chestnut Hill's Alexander knocked down a Philly U. pass and the Griffins attacked, but turned the ball back over with an offsides violation. The Lady Rams scored in transition for the game's final goal, with Ray ringing up her fourth of the day off a feed from Peltzer with 1:17 on the clock.
"We still need to iron out some kinks," the Griffins' Lee said afterwards. "We're a very young team in terms of experience; I only have five girls who have played lacrosse for more than two years."

For some sports fans, fall is always welcome as the season when baseball finally gets interesting. But for countless other fanatics, autumn is about one thing: football. And not professional football, either. From Maine to California and all points in between, the last four months of the year are when college football is in full swing. It doesn't really matter all that much whether a school is in the SEC or the Big Ten; the Ivy League or Big Sky; Division I, II or III: when summer's over, every Saturday is football Saturday, and every game — especially against a long-time rival (Army-Navy, OSU-Michigan State, Cal-Stanford and on and on) — feels like a matter of life and death.
From the time LIFE began publishing as a weekly in 1936, the magazine covered college football as closely and as breathlessly as it covered the other three most popular American sports of the middle part of the 20th century: baseball, boxing and horse racing. And for decades, professional football played second fiddle to college ball in the pages of LIFE. Then again, those were also the years when the magazine devoted page after page to teams from schools like Yale, Princeton and Trinity; hardly powerhouses today, but back in the '40s and '50s those squads could play with any teams in the country.
Here, LIFE.com celebrates the players, fans, cheerleaders and coaches who made the action on and off the college gridiron back in the day so downright picturesque. There are big players here (Heisman winners like Glenn Davis and Steve Spurrier) and famous teams (Notre Dame, LSU, et al.). There are highly emotional coaches and worked-up fans. There are, in short, scenes that capture the emotional and visual scope of college football in the middle part of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of LIFE photographers.

The news that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher had died in a murder-suicide hit Ravens defensive lineman Arthur Jones particularly hard.
Belcher was a childhood friend and former wrestling teammate of Jones, who grew up in upstate New York.
Highly upset about the tragedy, Jones sent the following text to The Baltimore Sun regarding his memories of Belcher.
"We wrestled every year on the same New York state team together since middle school through high school," Jones wrote. "Him and Jon (my brother) used to have the best battles, beating the hell out of each other, year in year out. We would all share stories how we all would make it one day. And dream about our first nice car and house we would all own one day, things we would buy our family. He was a SUPER hard worker that never back down from the challenge. One of strongest kids I have ever seen in high school. One time I remember him in a freestyle wrestling tournament where he launched his opponent into the air and scoring five points, which is the highest you can score on a throw. The kid quit and didn't wanna wrestle anymore. Lol. He always believed in himself.
"This past game when we met on the field after the game we reminisce about the old times we used to have traveling city to city, state to state, kicking butt and taking names. He talked about how good Jon is doing in the UFC and told me to tell him that Jon still can't beat him yet. We both laugh, hug and wish each other the best for the rest of the season. And walked away knowing I would see my friend again day down the road. I'm thankful for all the great times that we shared together and all the great memories he is giving me. He definitely will be missed by me and all the lives that he has impacted."
Jones also wrote on his Twitter account: "Please keep me in your prayers just lost childhood friend who played Kansas City Chiefs. Taking it pretty hard right now."
Torrey Smith, a Ravens wide receiver, wrote: "Prayers up for the Chiefs and the families that were affected. Life is wayyyy bigger than football...people forget that at times...respect their situation and pray for them."
Former Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason weighed in on the situation on Twitter.
"Just bc u have wealth that doesn't exempt u from everyday problems and struggles!" Mason wrote. "Prayers goes out to the families of the 2 deceased."
Belcher, 25, had five solo tackles against the Ravens during a 9-6 Baltimore win on Oct. 7 in Kansas City.
A former undrafted free agent from the University of Maine, Belcher had climbed the depth chart from special-teams contributor to a full-time starting linebacker. He had 38 tackles in 10 starts this season, 87 tackles in 2011 when he started every game and 84 tackles in 2010 when he started all but one game.
Police in Kansas City say Belcher shot and killed his girlfriend before kiling himself near Arrowhead Stadium. According to Belcher's Facebook page, the couple had just had a child in September.
The police delayed naming Belcher until families could be informed of the violent episode.
Belcher allegedly took his own life, shooting himself in the head in front of coach Romeo Crennel and general manager Scott Pioli in the parking lot as they attempted to talk him out of further acts of violence.
The Chiefs are scheduled to host the Carolina Panthers Sunday. The Panthers were told today by the NFL to keep their travel plans to Kansas City.
"The entire Chiefs family is deeply saddened by today's events, and our collective hearts are heavy with sympathy, thoughts and prayers for the families and friends affected by this unthinkable tragedy," Chiefs owner Clark Hunt wrote in a statement. "We sincerely appreciate the expressions of sympathy and support we have received from so many in the Kansas City and NFL communities, and ask for continued prayers for the loved ones of those impacted. We will continue to fully cooperate with the authorities and work to ensure that the appropriate counseling resources are available to all members of the organization."
The Chiefs later released the following statement announcing that the game will go on as scheduled: "After discussions between the league office, Head Coach Romeo Crennel and Chiefs team captains, the Chiefs advised the NFL that it will play tomorrow's game vs. the Carolina Panthers at its originally scheduled time."
The news that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher had died in a murder-suicide hit Ravens defensive lineman Arthur Jones particularly hard.

The beginning of Vladimir Putin's third term as president was marked by a crackdown on civil society and critical opinion. Putin signed laws that suppress dissent by limiting public assembly, criminalizing defamation, and authorizing state censorship of critical websites. A Cold War-era chill settled in as lawmakers passed a measure requiring nongovernmental groups receiving international grants to register as "foreign agents," and the administration expelled the United States Agency for International Development and the United Nations children's agency. Illustrating the growing climate of intolerance, a court convicted members of a punk band on "hooliganism" charges and sentenced them to prison in connection with an anti-Putin stunt at a Moscow church. Deadly anti-press violence persisted: Assailants in the North Caucasus city of Nalchik gunned down a news anchor for the state-owned broadcaster VGTRK. Authorities made little substantive progress in addressing impunity in previous journalist murders. A former police colonel was sentenced to 11 years in prison on charges of helping plot the 2006 murder of Anna Politkovskaya. Family and colleagues were dismayed that the suspect made a deal with investigators to be tried behind closed doors. And the country's top criminal investigator threatened a leading newspaper editor in response to a critical commentary.
In December, unidentified gunmen killed Kazbek Gekkiyev, a news anchor for the regional affiliate of state-owned broadcaster VGTRK, in the North Caucasus city of Nalchik. He was the 54th journalist killed in direct relation to journalism since 1992, making Russia the world's fourth deadliest nation for the press during that time period.

Months into his new term, Putin signed into law a series of measures that suppress dissent.
Public assembly:
|In June, Putin signed a measure that imposes steep fines on those who organize or participate in unapproved demonstrations. Penalties could also be imposed against those who take part in approved rallies if their activities go beyond their permit. Fines against organizers run as high as $18,000, a prohibitive sum.
"Foreign agents":
|In July, the president signed a bill obligating nongovernmental groups that receive funds from abroad to register as "foreign agents." Such registration is extremely cumbersome.
|Putin also signed legislation that rolled back a 2011 measure that had decriminalized defamation. The new criminal defamation law, signed in July, sets a maximum fine of $150,000, a prohibitive amount for many media outlets.
Website blocking:
|The Internet measure, signed in July, allows the authorities to block sites deemed to have "unlawful content," which is vaguely defined as "making war propaganda" and "inciting inter-ethnic hatred."
|In November, the president signed a Federal Security Service-proposed bill that expands the definition of high treason and gives the authorities the broad right to criminally charge individuals who consult with foreigners. Local journalists who work for international media could be targeted as a result.
Russia's top criminal investigator, Aleksandr Bastrykin, made a graphic threat against Sergey Sokolov, deputy editor of the independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta, in June. Sokolov left the country briefly in fear of attack. The threat followed an opinion piece by Sokolov that said investigators were lenient in their handling of a murder case. Bastrykin later apologized for making the threat. Five Novaya Gazeta journalists have been attacked and killed since 2000.
July 16, 2000:
|Igor Domnikov, 42, a reporter and special-projects editor, died two months after being attacked in the entry to his Moscow apartment building. In August 2007, five members of a criminal gang were convicted in the killing; the masterminds were not prosecuted.
July 3, 2003:
|Yuri Schekochikhin, 53, deputy editor, died 12 days after being hospitalized in a Moscow clinic with what doctors said was an acute allergic reaction. He was in the midst of covering a high-level corruption case involving the Federal Security Service and the Prosecutor General's Office. His colleagues and relatives believe he was poisoned. No one has been prosecuted.
October 7, 2006:
|Anna Politkovskaya, 48, a special correspondent whose coverage of the Chechen conflict won acclaim, was gunned down in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building. Three defendants in the killing were acquitted in 2009. A new investigation has led to charges against five people in all, but the masterminds have not been identified. The case was pending in late year.
January 19, 2009:
|Anastasiya Baburova, 25, a freelance correspondent, and human rights lawyer Stanislav Markelov were gunned down after a news conference. Baburova had contributed articles on activities of neo-Nazi groups and race-motivated crimes. On April 28, 2011, a jury convicted two radical nationalists in the murders.
July 15, 2009:
|Natalya Estemirova, 50, a contributor to Novaya Gazeta who covered human rights abuses in the North Caucasus, was abducted from her Grozny home and murdered. No one has been prosecuted.
Dmitry Pavlyuchenkov, a retired police official, was sentenced to 11 years in prison on charges that he helped organize the 2006 murder of Anna Politkovskaya, the acclaimed reporter for Novaya Gazeta. Lawyers for Politkovskaya's family said they would appeal the ruling, which came after a closed proceeding. Colleagues and relatives had hoped Pavlyuchenkov would identify the masterminds in open court. Following the verdict, investigators said they considered exiled tycoon Boris Berezovsky and Chechen envoy Akhmed Zakayev to be the masterminds--an assertion dismissed by Politkovskaya's representatives as unfounded and politically motivated. Pavlyuchenkov, who was head of surveillance for Moscow's main police force, had ordered subordinates to follow the journalist and determine her schedule and usual travel routes. The information was then passed along to a gang hired to kill Politkovskaya. Five other suspects faced charges that were pending in late year. Journalist murders have persisted in Russia.
