Aaron Sorkin: The Writer Behind 'The Newsroom'
This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. This week we're featuring a few of our favorite interviews of the year, and up next we have our interview with Aaron Sorkin. He's the creator and writer of the new HBO series "The Newsroom," which premiered this year. Sorkin has been known for his verbal fireworks ever since he wrote Jack Nicholson's famous line - you can't handle the truth - in "A Few Good Men."
He created the series "The West Wing," won an Oscar for his screenplay for "The Social Network," and co-wrote the film adaptation of the book "Moneyball." Sorkin's series "The Newsroom" is set at a fictional cable news network and stars Jeff Daniels as Will McAvoy, a news anchor who gives up his straight-down-the-middle approach for a more hard-hitting show that will, as his producer says, speak truth to stupid.
"The Newsroom" is set in the recent past and draws on real news events, but the characters are fictional. In this scene, during the 2010 midterm election campaigns, Will McAvoy interviews two leaders of the fictional group The Riley County Tea Party Express.
JEFF DANIELS: (as Will McAvoy) You describe the Tea Party as a grassroots movement, right?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (as character) Absolutely. We have no central control, no traditional power structure, and that is something that seems to confound the media.
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) I'm sorry?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (as character) That's what confounds the media. It's what the media doesn't get. We are not being run by a George Soros-type figure. We are we the people.
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) Where does your funding come from?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (as character) What little funding we have comes from private citizens who mail in $5, $10, $1, whatever they can spare.
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) OK, have either of you ever heard the name David Koch?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (as character) I'm sorry?
AARON SORKIN: (as McAvoy) David Koch.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (as character) No.
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) Have you ever heard the name Charles Koch?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (as character) No.
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) Have you ever heard the name Koch Industries?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (as character) Are you talking about Coca-Cola?
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) K-O-C-H. Have either of you heard of Koch Industries?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: (as character) No.
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) I think that very soon you will. Koch Industries is the second-largest private company in the country, bigger than Coca-Cola, and the Koch brothers' personal wealth of $50 billion is exceeded only by Warren Buffett and Bill Gates, and they could buy and sell George Soros 10 times over. They own dozens of companies and industries, including oil and gas, refining and chemicals, minerals, fertilizer, forestry polymers and fibers and ranching.
(as McAvoy) You two both attended the Texas Defending the American Dream Summit over the July 4th week?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (as character) Yes.
DANIELS: (as McAvoy) That summit was paid for entirely by Americans for Prosperity, AFP, which has two founders, David and Charles Koch. In the last six months, they've bankrolled Tea Party candidates in excess of $40 million. Cheryl(ph), Mike(ph), are the Koch brothers average Americans whose voices are being drowned out by lobbyists and special interests? I'm confounded.
GROSS: Aaron Sorkin, welcome to FRESH AIR.
SORKIN: Thank you for having me.
GROSS: I've got to say I'm really enjoying the show. It's, like, so much fun to me to watch a series where there's drama about booking guests and conducting interviews.
GROSS: So what about you? Why did you want to, like, set a show in a newsroom?
SORKIN: I like writing idealistically and romantically, and if you can do that in a place that's usually looked at cynically, the way journalism is now, you can get something fun out of it.
GROSS: Why do you like writing idealistically? Another example of that would be "The West Wing."
SORKIN: Sure. It suits my style. I like writing about heroes that they don't wear capes or disguises. It's aspirational. You feel like, gee, it looks like the real world and feels like the real world. Why can't that be the real world?
You know, in this case, throughout the series, really, the metaphor of Don Quixote is used, a metaphor, all kinds of lost imaginary cities are used. The name of the company is Atlantis. They talk about Camelot. They talk about Brigadoon. And the show was meant to be a fantasy set against very real and oftentimes very serious events.
GROSS: So in this interview that you and I are doing right now, I get to ask the questions, you get to give the answers. In the interview clip that we just heard from "The Newsroom," you got to write the questions and the answers.
SORKIN: That's the great part about being a writer: You get to decide what everybody says.
GROSS: Yeah, so tell me how you wrote that interview.
SORKIN: What I did with that interview, which is what I do with every interview like that on the show - first of all, I just want to make it clear, real people don't make cameos on the show. They only appear when they're in news footage. And, you know, we'll roll tape of plenty of real interviews and real statements.
When I'm making up a person in order to represent people, for instance those two people in that clip, they're from the Riley County Tea Party Express, which is fictional. But what I do is I look at a ton of interviews with Tea Party people that were conducted, and I try to as fairly as I can take their answers to questions.
And then what I'll do is I'll have Will ask the follow-up that was never - that I thought was never asked. In the episode a week ago, which is the episode where that scene took place, in Episode 3, Sam Waterston's character tells us that the idea is that Will is a fantastic prosecutor and that they're going to harness that strength and that the studio is going to become a courtroom and that he's going to treat guests like they're witnesses on a stand. And I like that because I like writing courtroom drama.
GROSS: Right. So I know you know Keith Olbermann and that "Sports Night" was inspired by the show Olbermann used to co-anchor, "SportsCenter," and a lot of people assume that he's one of the inspirations for your new show, which you've denied. You also know Lawrence O'Donnell because he used to be a consultant, right, on "The West Wing," and he anchors a show on MSNBC.
So how much time did you spend at MSNBC in doing the research for your new series?
SORKIN: I've met Keith Olbermann. I don't know Keith Olbermann. We've met twice. He - once "Sports Night" was on the air, I got a call from him asking if he could visit the set, and that was the first time I met him. And the second time I met him was when he was really gracious. He allowed me to hang out at MSNBC when he was the host of "Countdown" for a couple of days.
And I just spent time being a fly on the wall, mostly speaking with junior staffers. You know, all I knew was that I wanted to do a show set in a newsroom. And I didn't know anything more than that. And my big worry was making up the news, writing fictional news, that it was just going to take us too far away from reality.
And I didn't want to have to make up news events, make up an earthquake someplace, make up an assassination attempt, make up a stock market crash, that kind of thing. I did want it to be set against real news events.
But I was sitting at "Countdown," and I was on my second day there, kind of despairing because I was about to give up on the idea, but while I was thinking that, I was staring at a monitor. And the monitor was showing - I don't know if you remember the spill cam, it was an underwater camera attached to BP Deepwater Horizon that could show you 24 hours the oil spilling out of there. And this was day 55 of the oil spill.
And I was sitting there staring at it, and that's when I got the idea that I could set the show in the recent past. Now, originally all that was was something that solved the problem that I was having: Here's how you don't make up the news, set the show in the recent past.
But it's sort of a gift that kept giving because you have the fun of the audience knowing more than the characters do. In the pilot episode, for instance, when they get the news about two-thirds of the way through that there's been this explosion in the Gulf of Mexico, and nobody quite knows what's going on, the audience wants to shout at the screen: This is a real story, take this seriously, I know what the end of this is going to be.
I know that this device, the dramatic device of setting the show in the recent past, has bothered some people, particularly people in the news, who think that I'm leveraging hindsight into a way to make my characters smarter. That - again, that wasn't the idea.
I'm aware that I get to control everything that happens in my universe, in my fictional universe, and in real life, people don't get to control anything that happens.
GROSS: We're listening back to my interview with Aaron Sorkin, the creator of the HBO series "The Newsroom." He also wrote the movies "Moneyball," "The Social Network" and "A Few Good Men." We'll talk about his NBC series "The West Wing" after a break. This is FRESH AIR.
GROSS: Let's get back to our interview with Aaron Sorkin. He created the HBO series "The Newsroom," which premiered this year, and he created "The West Wing," which was famous for its smart, witty dialogue and hyper-verbal characters. This is an example of the kind of (unintelligible) scene that became known as the walk and talk. Here's Rob Lowe as Sam Seaborn, the deputy White House communications director, walking through the West Wing talking to Charlie Young, a personal aide to the president played by Dule Hill.
ROB LOWE: (as Sam Seaborn) Charlie, listen, how do I look?
DULE HILL: (as Charlie Young) You look good.
LOWE: (as Seaborn) I went to the gym. I rode the bike, had a shower and shave, even got my shoes shined, too. You know why?
(as Young) Sam....
(as Seaborn) I'm going to the Beijing Opera tonight, which I imagine will be excruciating, but I'm going to go ahead and do it anyway.
HILL: (as Young) Sam, tomorrow is the assistant transportation secretary's 50th birthday, and Leo wants you to write a message from the president.
LOWE: (as Seaborn) He wants me?
HILL: (as Young) Yeah.
LOWE: (as Seaborn) He wants me to write a birthday message to the president?
HILL: (as Young) Nancy Becker(ph) needs it tonight.
LOWE: (as Seaborn) Are you sure he doesn't want someone who, you know, isn't staggeringly overqualified for the job?
HILL: (as Young) He specifically asked for you.
LOWE: (as Seaborn) What time is it?
HILL: (as Young) Ten after seven.
LOWE: (as Seaborn) Somebody, anybody, write a two-page memo on the personal history and professional accomplishments of the assistant secretary of transportation. I've got this under control.
GROSS: A lot of the dialogue in "The West Wing" became known as the walk and talk, where two or more of the characters would be talking to each other, exchanging strategy or whatever, as they walked through the hall. And, you know, in reality a lot of this dialogue would probably be, a lot of these conversations would probably be held behind closed doors, as opposed to in the hallway. So how did the walk and talk come into being?
SORKIN: I'll tell you exactly how. First of all, I don't write a lot of action. My first movie was "A Few Good Men," which was based on my first play. And there's a scene in the movie where Tom Cruise is in his car, he pulls his car over to the side, to the curb because he wants to hop out and buy a copy of Sports Illustrated at a newsstand. He does. He hops out. He buys the copy of Sports Illustrated at the newsstand. He gets back in his car and he drives off. That is my action scene. That's as close as I've come to writing an action scene.
SORKIN: And because there's very little of visual interest in what I write, visual interest has to be created. And it was created by Thomas Schlamme, my partner on "The West Wing," the principal director of "The West Wing," the guy who came up with the look for "The West Wing," and it happened right off the bat in the pilot episode.
What I had written was a series of scenes in different rooms in the White House all involving John Spencer, who played Leo McGarry, the chief of staff. And Tommy came to me about two days before shooting began and said listen, I want to walk you through something because I'd like to try doing this in one, as it's called, in one continuous shot using a Steadicam, that Leo - John Spencer - can go from this room into this room, do this thing here, stop at Josh's office, walk through the corridor, come down here, do this here, and finally we sneak a peek at the Oval Office and we walk through here.
And Tommy choreographed the whole thing and that was the day the walk and talk was born.
GROSS: So there was a really funny parody of the walk and talk on "30 Rock" and you were in this scene.
SORKIN: Yeah. That's right.
GROSS: So I want to play the scene. So let me give the setup.
GROSS: So Liz Lemon, played by Tina Fey, has just found out that the show she writes for is going to be put on hiatus. So she's applying for a writing position on a TV singing competition called "The Sing-Off" hosted by Nick Lachey...
SORKIN: Nick Lachey.
GROSS: ...who became famous as a member of the boy band 98 Degrees. So while she's in the waiting room waiting for this job interview, she's shocked to see you, Aaron Sorkin, waiting too. So here's the scene.
TINA FEY: (as Liz Lemon) Do I know you?
SORKIN: (as himself) You know my work. Walk with me.
(as himself) I'm Aaron Sorkin, "The West Wing," "A Few Good Men," "The Social Network."
FEY: (as Liz Lemon) "Studio 60?"
SORKIN: (as himself) Shut up. Do you know Nick Lachey? I hear he doesn't even let you sit in the meeting. He just screams at you to see how you react.
FEY: (as Liz Lemon) But you're not really applying for this job, are you?
SORKIN: (as himself) Of course, I am. You got to take work where you can find it, especially now. Our craft is dying while people are playing "Angry Birds" and poking each other on Facebook. What is poking anyway? Why won't anyone do it to me? I'm cool.
FEY: (as Liz Lemon) So it's really that bad out there. I mean you're Aaron Sorkin. Speaking of "Angry Birds," do you know how to beat 11-4? It's just a red guy and a green guy.
SORKIN: (as himself) The key is to not use the green guy as a boomerang.
FEY: (as Liz Lemon) Did we just go in a circle?
SORKIN: (as himself) Listen lady - a gender I write extremely well if the story calls for it. This is serious. We make horse buggies. The first Model T just rolled into town.
FEY: (as Liz Lemon) We're dinosaurs.
SORKIN: (as himself) We don't need two metaphors. That's bad writing. Not that it matters.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: (as character) Mr. Sorkin, Mr. Lachey will see you now.
SORKIN: (as himself) Mr. Lachey, huge fan. Huge fan. I have all your albums.
GROSS: That's so funny.
SORKIN: Yes. Well, it was a lot of fun to do. It's a great crew over there.
GROSS: Did you write any of that yourself? Did you have any input?
SORKIN: Absolutely not. That script was written by Robert Carlock, who is great. I also had a chance to - I've played the jerk version of myself a couple of times and I got to do it on "Entourage," too.
GROSS: So there's a line in there where she's giving all your credits and she says "Studio 60" and you say shut up.
SORKIN: Yeah. That's actually the only tweak that I made because I thought that Robert Carlock, who wrote the script, was trying to be a little too respectful of me. So I just pitched the line to Tina who then went over to Robert and everybody there laughed, so Tina came back and said yeah, let's do that.
GROSS: OK. And for people who don't get the joke, you had a show that premiered the same season that "30 Rock" did called "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip." And like "30 Rock" it was a behind-the-scene show about a sketch comedy show, kind of like "Saturday Night Live."
But yours was a drama and hers, you know, was a comedy. And a lot of people thought that hers was not going to make it and yours would, but it ended up being the other way around. What did you expect when you found out that there was another show doing a different take on the same kind of theme?
SORKIN: I didn't think that the two shows were anything alike. I didn't think anything more about it than when "The West Wing" and "Spin City" were on the air at the same time or "ER" and "Scrubs."
I thought that - and still do think that - "30 Rock" is great but a completely different show than "Studio 60," and "30 Rock" deserves all the success that it has had.
GROSS: So we've just heard you're very good at playing yourself. You used to play other people, as well. You started off as an actor before you became a writer. Is that what you really wanted to do when you were growing up was to act?
SORKIN: I think saying that I started off as an actor might be misleading. There was...
GROSS: Should I say you started off trying to act?
SORKIN: I didn't even give it much of a try. When I was very little all I wanted to be was an actor, and I acted in all the school plays, and I was the head of the drama club, and I acted in community theater. And then when I went to college, I auditioned for a conservatory program at Syracuse University and got a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in, of all things, musical theater.
But I realized pretty early on that when everyone around me was learning how to act, for some reason what I was learning was what a play was. And I again, very early on, loved writing dialogue. I just loved writing it. And so when I came to New York it was to be a playwright.
GROSS: So you got your BA in musical theater. You loved musicals...
SORKIN: BFA, I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree.
SORKIN: I have absolutely no liberal arts background at all, and really no, no higher education to speak of at all. Like I said, my four years of college was a conservatory training program in theater where we weren't allowed to take that many credits, that many academic credits.
GROSS: Do people expect that you will know the great books, and actually you don't?
SORKIN: Yeah. I am often mistaken for somebody who knows something. and I'm not. I create characters who know things. And I'm not just being self-deprecating. I think this is important. You know, the reaction to "The Newsroom" has been polarized.
There are a number of television critics who did not enjoy themselves watching the first four episodes. There are a number of television critics who loved the first four episodes. And I think that the critics in the audience who are reacting as hostilely to the show as they are, part of the reason is they think that I'm showing off an intellect and an erudition that I don't have.
And just to be very clear, I'm not pretending to have it. I know that I don't have it. I phonetically create the sound of smart people talking to each other. I'm not one of them. The characters I create would have no use for me.
GROSS: So we've established that you love musicals...
GROSS: ...and that, just going back for a step, and that you have a degree in musical theater. Are you a good singer?
SORKIN: I am awesome in the shower. But that's...
SORKIN: I think I'm a good singer. I don't think anybody else would say that I am.
GROSS: So I know for while you did singing telegrams.
SORKIN: Yeah.
GROSS: What were the telegrams?
SORKIN: They were, I worked for a company called the Witty Ditty singing-telegram company and they would call you in the afternoon and say, you know, OK, I got a job for you. It's an anniversary. You're going to go to this fancy restaurant. Come here and get the lyrics.
And it would just be set to the tune of, you know, of a famous song, and you'd have to walk into a fancy restaurant holding a big thing of balloons and you're in a red-and-white-striped jacket with a straw boater and a kazoo. And, you know, you're thinking here's my parent's tuition money hard at work. And even the songs themselves, you know, they would change two words of the song. It would be like...
(Singing) Rocky mountain high, happy Birthday.
SORKIN: It was remarkably uncreative. And I even remember thinking, you know, is it OK if I maybe rewrite some of the songs, but I didn't want to insult the person who wrote the song.
GROSS: Aaron Sorkin, it's been great to talk with you. Thank you so much.
SORKIN: It's really good to talk to you, Terry.
GROSS: Aaron Sorkin, recorded last July. He created the HBO series "The Newsroom," which is scheduled to begin its second season in June. I'm Terry Gross, and this is FRESH AIR.

text: Share: February 26, 2012 Education Those lazy days of summer seem far way. However, if you're a parent, now is the time when you may begin to ask yourself, "What will the kids do when school is out?" Summer is the perfect time to give children the opportunity to experience something new that may shape or support their future interests.Consider enrolling your children in a camp that allows them to disconnect from technology and tune in to the great outdoors. Familiarity with the natural world forms the basis for environmental understanding. Your children will learn more than the name of the frog they encounter in your backyard. They will build a foundation for ecological literacy — knowledge of the connections that exist in the world around us. By learning what frogs eat and where they live, your child will discover first-hand the importance of the interactions that sustain life on Earth.Cary Institute educators have been helping to build this foundation of understanding through our Summer Ecology Day Camp. Students in grades 2-7 explore the Cary Institute's 2,000-acre campus while using its diverse habitats as an outdoor classroom. Campers have a blast sinking up to their knees in mud while learning about wetlands and the vital role they play in cleansing freshwater, housing wildlife, and mitigating floods. When cooling off in a woodland stream, they learn where the water is coming from, where it is going, and the creatures that call it home. They also get to interact with practicing scientists.We've found it's important to have a balanced mix of free exploration and guided investigations. Last summer, our junior counselors were given the task of cleaning out 16 100-gallon cattle tanks, which were transformed into miniature wetlands. These study ponds were the basis for a summer-long camp experiment, as well as a unique way to study the multitude of aquatic organisms that colonized the tanks throughout the season. Guided by our educators and the junior counselors, campers observed, collected data and learned about the processes that occur in natural wetlands.An experiment helped the campers learn firsthand how the input of fertilizer into our waterways can affect the amount of oxygen in the water, which in turn influences resident plants and animals. Fertilizer was added to half of the study ponds and each week campers measured the amount of oxygen in the water.During the course of the summer, they were able to see that fertilizer amplified the growth of algae and aquatic plants, leading to changes in dissolved oxygen levels.Without knowing it the campers were practicing math skills, learning chemistry, honing observation skills, and beginning to understand the impacts humans can have on natural systems. In addition, the small group sizes and individualized attention fostered positive relationships with adults and other students.In recent years, school curricula have become more focused on teaching specific learning standards to prepare students for the multitude of tests they must complete in their academic careers. Often, subjects such as ecology and natural history get little or no class time. Field trips in general have become rare because of budget cuts, and many kids no longer have the free time they did a generation ago to explore the outdoors.Summer is the perfect time to promote learning the ecological and environmental sciences and help fill the gap becoming ever more present in school curricula. Our Ecology Day Camp is one of several options in the Hudson Valley.Older students (13 and up) might be interested in Camp Clearwater, which is run by Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and has a focus on environmental leadership.Overnight environmental camps are offered by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and for a camp with a more agricultural focus, check out Sprout Creek Farm's day camp. Find the best fit for your child and awaken their curiosity for the natural world.Jen Rubbo is an educator at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook.

The Writers Guild of America has confirmed the death of prolific television writer Preston Wood on January 13. Wood was 87 and lived in Grover Beach, California.
Although there was no obituary at the time, word of Wood's death has since surfaced in a detailed Internet Movie Database bio, bylined by his son Mark, and in this introduction to his papers at the Belknap Collection for the Performing Arts at the University of Florida.
Wood began as a writer for radio, then made an unusual detour into directing live television and another into the executive suites of Madison Avenue, where he developed TV programs for the ad agency Young & Rubicam. In the early sixties, Wood transitioned back into story editing and then freelancing for television.
(It wasn't uncommon for ad execs to migrate into creative roles in early television. Some of the prominent live TV directors – although none of those who became important filmmakers – doubled as agency staffers. Recently I've been interviewing another major television writer, Jack Turley, who spent a decade planning and directing TV commercials for ad agencies before making a career move similar to Wood's, and at the same time.)
As a live television director, Wood worked mainly on We the People and Holiday Hotel. In Los Angeles, he began his writing career as a story editor on the underrated western Outlaws, and also served briefly as a story editor during the first season of The Wild Wild West. He wrote episodes of Bonanza, Mr. Novak, Slattery's People, The Virginian, The Addams Family, The Patty Duke Show, Rawhide, Destry, Gunsmoke, Matt Lincoln, Little House on the Prairie, Quincy M.E., Kaz, and Jessica Novak.
Wood's most significant work came for producer / director / star Jack Webb, during the twilight years of Webb's crime show empire. Wood wrote a few episodes of the 1967 revival of Dragnet before moving over to Adam-12 as its primary writer (he penned ten out of twenty-six episodes during the first season) and then on to Emergency! A bit more than the other early writers, Wood mastered Adam-12's emphasis on arguably trivial vignettes that made up the professional life of its prowl-car cop protagonists. My favorite Adam-12 is one of Wood's. The tense "Log 33" abandons the show's usual loose structure and imprisons Officer Reed (Kent McCord) in a room with a tough Internal Affairs investigator (Jack Hogan) who shakes his confidence in his memory of an officer-involved shooting.
Wood seems to have evaded a comprehensive career interview. I contacted him in 2004 but a brief correspondence subsided without the opportunity of an interview, and Michael Hayde, Jack Webb's otherwise thorough biographer, seems to have missed Wood as well. As Wood's archive of scripts is one of the most comprehensive records of a television writer's output that we have, so I particularly regret missing the opportunity to complement that resource with an account of the events in his career that occurred off the page.
Also largely unreported: The death of comedy writer Norm Liebmann on December 20 of last year. Born on January 16, 1928, Liebmann's primary claim to fame derived from one-half of a murky "developed by" credit on The Munsters. According to Stephen Cox's The Munsters: A Trip Down Mockingbird Lane, a shady Universal executive merged Liebmann and collaborator Ed Haas's proposal for the series with another by Allan Burns and Chris Hayward, without bothering to inform either set of writers until they met on the set. A Writers Guild arbitration resulted in the convoluted (non-) creator credits. Liebmann told Cox that he came up with some of the characters' names, and he and Haas wrote a couple of early episodes.
Much of the rest of Liebmann's resume holds more interest than The Munsters. Alternating between sitcom and variety assignments, he wrote for the 1961 Bob Newhart Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Hazel, and Chico and the Man, as well as for Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, and Johnny Carson's Tonight Show.

Practice prevention by getting screened for cancer
By Barbara Floria, Pure Matters
Medical advances and technology can detect diseases earlier than ever before and save lives, but making prevention a part of your everyday life is just as important.
"Practicing prevention can lower your risk for developing the most deadly chronic diseases -- heart disease, diabetes and cancer," says Tricia Trinité, MSPH, APRN, director of prevention dissemination and implementation for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). "There's nothing mysterious about taking preventive action; it's really just a matter of making healthy choices on a daily basis."
Eat nutritiously
Eating healthy foods in the right amounts can help you live a longer, healthier life.
Many illnesses and conditions, such as heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes, can be prevented or controlled by eating a healthy, low-calorie, low-fat diet that includes at least five servings of fruits and vegetables every day, says Ms. Trinité.
Other dietary recommendations include eating more fiber and lean protein, such as chicken and fish, and less sodium, red meat and sugar.
For specific information on how to improve your diet, ask your doctor and visit the National Cancer Institute's website, the American Heart Association's website or the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Dietary Guidelines for Americans website.
Maintain a healthy weight
Being overweight increases your risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer and high blood pressure. To stay at a healthy weight, you need to balance the number of calories you eat with the number you burn off in physical activity. You can reach a healthy weight and stay there by eating right and being physically active. Your health care provider can tell you what you should weigh for your height. Or you can calculate your body mass index (BMI), which should be 18.5 to 24.9 for optimal health. To calculate your BMI, first multiply your height in inches by your height in inches; use this result to divide your weight in pounds. Multiply this number by 703.
Weight in Pounds
(Height in inches) x (Height in inches)
|) x 703
Exercise most days
Physical activity can help prevent heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, some cancers, and mental health problems, such as depression.
"All kinds of physical activity, whether it's moderate or vigorous, will help you stay healthy," say Ms. Trinité. "It's a good idea to aim for at least moderate activity, such as brisk walking, bike riding, housecleaning, or playing with your children, for 30 to 60 minutes most days of the week. Generally, the more active you are, the better you'll feel today and the healthier you'll become tomorrow."
If you've been sedentary, smoke or have a chronic health condition, ask your health care provider how you should get started with an exercise program.
Stop smoking
More than 440,000 Americans die each year from smoking and smoking-related causes. Smoking causes illnesses such as cancer, heart and lung disease, stroke and problems with pregnancy.
"Quitting is hard, and most people try several times before they quit for good," says Ms. Trinité. "But when you're ready to quit, ask your doctor for advice on the best way for you."
Take medicines correctly
Always be sure you know important information about a medicine before you take it. This will help you get the full benefit of the drug. It also will help you avoid taking too much or too little, which can be dangerous.
Each prescription medication comes with an information sheet. Be sure to carefully read this sheet. If you have questions or aren't clear about anything on the sheet, check with your health care provider, nurse or pharmacist.
Get your shots
You can prevent several serious diseases by getting immunized. Check with your health care provider to be sure you've had immunization for measles-mumps-rubella, tetanus-diphtheria, whooping cough, and influenza. If you are at risk for hepatitis A or B, you should be immunized against them. People older than 65 should be immunized against pneumococcal pneumonia.
Because of a resurgence of whooping cough (pertussis) in adults, a booster shot in combination with diphtheria and tetanus is now available for teens and adults. In 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two new vaccines as adult boosters for diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. These vaccines are designated as Tdap and are recommended at 10-year intervals for people up to the age of 64. Current recommendations for adults 65 and older are to get boosters of tetanus and diphtheria only, every 10 years.
In 2006, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended a second varicella (chicken pox) vaccine immunization for adults previously immunized against chicken pox. All adults not previously immunized and who have not had chicken pox should talk to their doctor about immunization.
For people older than 60, the vaccine Zostavax was licensed by the FDA in 2006 to prevent shingles. Shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chicken pox. After an attack of chicken pox, the virus lies dormant in certain nerve tissue. As people age, it is possible for the virus to reappear in the form of shingles, which is estimated to affect two in every 10 people in their lifetime. Shingles is characterized by clusters of blisters, which develop on one side of the body. The blisters can cause severe pain that may last for weeks, months or years after the virus reappears. Studies showed that the vaccine reduced the occurrence of shingles between 50 and 64 percent.
Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV4) should be given to all children at their 11- to 12-year-old doctor visit, as well as to unvaccinated adolescents when they enter high school (age 15) and unvaccinated college freshman living in dormitories.
Get checked and screened
Checkups and screening tests help find diseases or health problems early, when they're easier to treat and cure.
"Your doctor can help you decide which health screenings you should get and how often," says Ms. Trinité.
If you have a chronic condition, follow your health care provider's recommendations for regular checkups and screening exams; they are more important if you have a chronic condition.
Ask your health care provider if your screenings are up-to-date for blood pressure; cholesterol; diabetes; osteoporosis; and skin, breast, colorectal, cervical and prostate cancers. The AHRQ has a list of recommended screening tests for men and women.
Healthy adults also should see a dentist once or twice a year and an eye doctor every one to three years. Adults with dental disease or chronic conditions, or those at high risk for specific diseases should get more frequent exams, as recommended by their provider.
For the best preventive care, you also should talk with your provider openly regarding your health concerns.

It provides you with the skills, knowledge and confidence that will be so essential to your ongoing success. In fact, you'll be able to access one of the most comprehensive training programs in the business.
We understand that direction is important. So we'll give you the tools, support and know-how to develop in the direction that most interests you. We believe that's the best way to maximize your own achievements and, as a result, the success of our clients.
You're not defined by the area of the business you work in, nor will you only work on one kind of assignment. Instead, you'll get incredibly varied experience, get to know people from all sorts of backgrounds and explore different facets of our business. It's the kind of rich and rewarding experience that you'll be able to draw upon throughout your career.
Your development is at the heart of our culture. It contributes to an engaging and positive workplace for everyone, provides opportunities to reward and recognize you, and helps deliver a differentiated service to our clients.
In short, it is the foundation for continued success — yours and ours.
Learning never stops
Our global learning curriculum will equip you with knowledge and skills that are designed to last a lifetime. On the one hand, it will build your general business skills and acumen. On the other, it is designed to constantly refresh and enhance your technical skills across our service lines so you can provide an enhanced service and form even stronger client relationships.
There are also many structured opportunities to enhance your leadership and relationship skills, building expertise that will help you both inside and outside EY.
We currently offer more than 16,000 courses on our learning management system. Last year, our people undertook more than six million hours of learning and completed over 700,000 courses. So you can be confident you'll have time and space to pursue your learning goals.
Use this system to structure your learning, but also as a way of validating your achievements. Wherever you are located, you'll be able to demonstrate you had the technical training you need from a regulatory perspective.
Our success — and that of our clients — depends on our people, so we take your development seriously.
Up to 70% of your personal and professional development comes from every-day experiences
We know that the most enriching, career-enhancing experiences are gained on the job, and so this is a formal part of our career development framework.
We plan assignments in ways that not only give our clients high-quality service, but that also provide you with the best environment for your career development. No matter where you go after finishing a project, you'll have acquired important skills you can carry with you.
Moving within our organization
Mobility across geographical boundaries and service lines is all part of our commitment to seamless, high-performing teams. We offer cross-border and cross-service line placements with short or long-term engagements. That means you'll be able to work in different environments, which offer new and exciting experiences.
It will help you develop an inclusive mind-set and help our clients to thrive in an increasingly global market.
Using your skills in the community
Development isn't just about learning. It's about sharing your expertise with others too. You'll be encouraged to use your professional skills within the community – giving something back, but also applying your teaming, leadership and communication skills in new ways that will help you stretch and grow.
The support you need, when you need it
Coaching enables you to have open, honest conversations between people at all levels, throughout our organization. This ranges from daily informal on-the-job coaching to project feedback and periodic formal performance reviews.
So at one end of the scale you may adopt a mentor with whom you can have ongoing conversations about particular skills or issues. At the other, you'll have a counselor with whom you'll have more formal performance reviews and receive structured feedback from.
As your skills and expertise develop, we'll also expect you to share your knowledge with and provide honest, constructive feedback to others.
On-the-job coaching
On-the-job coaching helps you gain a broader perspective, increases clarity and addresses particular issues and challenges.
Working with a colleague who can coach you on a work-related issue will help you gain deeper insight into your own performance. The things you learn can jumpstart your career progression.
Counseling – performance reviews
Performance conversations allow you and your counselor to evaluate your performance by bringing together and considering multiple views. They're an excellent way to identify where to focus your development efforts — so your next assignment can help you improve performance further.
Counseling – career development
In addition to performance reviews, career development conversations are also an important aspect of coaching at EY. These conversations should challenge you to explore your individual interests, aspirations, needs and options.
They also create meaningful goals — both from an annual perspective and over the longer term.
Unlike on-the-job coaching, which provides daily support in your work, mentoring gives you guidance, insights and practical advice on a variety of professional development and career topics.
At EY, we encourage our experienced professionals to provide mentoring to less experienced colleagues, through initiatives such as the Career Advisor program.
Our mentoring and counseling programs help our employees develop both professionally and personally. Hear some personal perspectives.

I love the website Neon created and I've had great feedback from everyone who's seen it. The site's functions are excellent. Their prices were very fair and as agreed, and they kept to the promised time scales. I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation. Quick, get in their queue!
Working closely with Charlotte, we are delighted with our new website from Neon. Our new site is not only aesthetically strong, the back end functionality really is top drawer. We were suitably impressed, however our clients were really impressed. Neon have delivered a solution that provides tremendous ease of use.James Nash, UK Sales Director, Shadehaus Ltd
The price was reasonable for our requirement, and the deadline was met comfortably. If you require a high quality website, especially with enhanced functionality, you'd do well to contact Neon. We're delighted, and would recommend Charlotte whole-heartedly.
Charlotte, I would like to say that I am delighted with what we have achieved here. I showcased my funky new website to a select number of clients, family, and friends to gauge reaction... I have been absolutely delighted with the feedback so far.Steven Martin, Director - Total Creative Talent
Every person who has seen my new site has reacted in the same way. "WOW" "Your new site looks amazing" we'd like to thank you for listening to the brief, and delivering a funky, slick new website that gets the Total Creative Talent message across perfectly... We're Absolutely Chuffed!
I am thrilled with the new website Charlotte has created for our company. We have received great feedback from colleagues and I will not hesitate to endorse her.Richard Field, Chief Executive, Richard Field Property Search Ltd
In particular, Charlotte provided extra value with her continued advice throughout the project based on her prior experience. I am very impressed with the service received.
We are extremely pleased with our new website. The team worked hard to ensure all our requirements were fulfilled, including creating a user registration and log-in area.Oliver Scott, Partner and Fund Manager, Kestrel Partners
They were committed and professional throughout this long-term project and Charlotte was always more than happy to be flexible to fulfill our changing demands.
Just a note to say that I am extremely pleased with the new website you created for me. It was done very efficiently, with the minimum of fuss and incorporates many features which I have not previously considered were within either my competence or reach.Roger J Gould, Copywriter
You made the whole process very easy and used considerable flair in envisaging how it would best be presented. I shall not hesitate to tell my clients of your excellent service.
Charlotte's advice and recommendations in putting together the initial website for our new event and wedding planning venture were terrific. From the outset she understood absolutely what was required, but also she added that certain indefinable "je ne sais quoi" which helped to elevate the project beyond our most ambitious expectations.Nigel Passingham, Director, Infoplan Event & Wedding Planning
Not only would I recommend her to anyone looking for the design and build of a new website, I would also unhesitatingly go back to Charlotte in the future, knowing that I could expect the best possible results.
Charlotte worked with us to develop powerful web design strategies and translate those concepts into an actionable, cost-effective website.Isabel Camano, Shave the Bush
Her proprietary approach to online marketing and web design was results-oriented and focused on our individual needs. She was utterly committed to doing things right the first time.
Charlotte listened to our brief for a new company website and understood our needs.Janet Sealy, Director, Janet Sealy Partnership Ltd
She provided a very prompt and efficient service – often pushing us to adhere to deadlines and assisting with corporate redesign in addition to the original brief.
A really positive experience and am keen to use services again and again.Graeme Ogilvy, Jardine Lloyd Thompson
I'm very pleased all round.

Mystery Bird photographed in a backyard in Houston, Texas (USA). [I will identify this bird for you in 48 hours]
Image: Joseph Kennedy, 31 October 2011 (with permission) [velociraptorize].
Nikon D200, Kowa 883 telescope with TSN-PZ camera eyepiece 1/100s f/8.0 at 1000.0mm iso400
At first glance, this common North American mystery bird will appear to be impossible to identify. However, if you take your time and carefully examine the field marks in this image, I think you can figure out what this species is. If, after studying the image and a field guide or two, you still can't identify the species, I am certain you will have figured out this bird's taxonomic family.
About the Daily Mystery Bird:
The Rules:
1. Keep in mind that people live in zillions of different time zones around the globe, and some people are following on their mobile phones. So let everyone play the game. Wait to identify the bird until 24 to 36 hours after it's been published.
2. If you know the bird's identity, provide subtle hints to let others know that you know. Your hints may be helpful as small clues to less experienced players.
3. Describe the key field marks that distinguish this species from any similar ones.
4. Comments that spoil others' enjoyment may be deleted.
The Game:
1. This is meant to be a learning experience where together we learn a few things about birds and about the process of identifying them (and maybe about ourselves, too).
2. Each mystery bird is usually accompanied by a question or two. These questions can be useful for identifying the pictured species, but may instead be used to illustrate an interesting aspect of avian biology, behaviour or evolution, or may be intended to generate conversation on other topics, such as conservation or ethics.
3. Thoughtful comments will add to everyone's enjoyment, and will keep the suspense going until the next teaser is published. Interesting snippets may add to the knowledge of all.
4. Each bird species will be demystified approximately 48 hours after publication.
You are invited to review all of the daily mystery birds by going to their dedicated graphic index page.
If you have bird images, video or mp3 files that you'd like to share with a large and (mostly) appreciative international audience here at The Guardian, feel free to contact me to learn more.

Guiding and Wavefront Sensors
You are here
Essentially all observations with the Gemini telescopes require the use of either a peripheral wavefront sensor (PWFS) or an on-instrument wavefront sensor (OIWFS) assigned to a star near the science target, and in some cases an adaptive optics wavefront sensor (AOWFS) assigned to a star or artificial laser guide star, in order to:
(1) remove low order aberrations of the primary mirror;
(2) compensate for image motion due to telescope tracking inaccuracies, windshake, and atmospheric effects; and
(3) for some near-infrared observations to correct for blurring of images by the earth's atmosphere.
These enhancements to the image quality are achieved respectively by:
(1) manipulation of the primary mirror figure (adaptive optics, AO) on one-minute timescales;
(2) articulation of the secondary mirror typically on ten millisecond timescales; and
(3) adjustments to the shape of a small deformable mirror on millisecond timescales (adaptive optics, AO).
When adaptive optics is not in use the PWFSs are employed by instruments that do not have their own built-in WFSs. Instruments with built-in WFSs usually do not use the PWFSs, although a PWFS may be used.
The region of sky in which a suitable guide star must be found for the WFS is limited to an small area close to the science target. In almost all, but not all cases a suitable star can be found; see this page for some indication of likely guide star availability.
The wavefront sensors may be configured in various ways.

Why Leave a Gap in Crawlspace Insulation?
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2007 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
July 01, 2007
I read your article "Closed Crawlspaces Do Double Duty," from the 2005 Special Issue (p. 32), with great interest. The crawlspace in our new home is built over a 4-inch cement floor over plastic and 4 inches of bluestone. The slab is about 3 inches below grade at some points and level with grade at others. This winter it never got below 49ºF in the crawlspace, with temps as low as the 'teens outside. I'd like to insulate the crawlspace walls with 2-inch foil-backed rigid foam insulation. Does the foil face the block wall or the inside of the crawlspace? Do I need to keep a gap at the bottom of the foam, or can it be extended to the floor? Dave Jordan Arlington, Virginia I'd recommend using a product called Dow Thermax, which usually has a foil facing on both sides. (Some versions have a white facing on one side, in which case I'd put the white to the block and have the foil face the crawlspace, for no other reason than to take advantage of the potential radiant barrier effect.) Thermax has passed more stringent fire safety tests than any ...

Alaska's Sustainable Village
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2014 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 01, 2014
The University of Alaska Fairbanks takes part in the higher-education trend of efficient student housing
In the marketplace of higher education, the establishing of sustainability programs is now considered prudent, if not essential. This trend is not especially new (environmental and ecology courses boomed in the 1970s after the first Earth Day), but it has matured.
