According to the latest census, minorities now make up about 37% of the U.S. population, and we'll be a "minority-majority" nation by 2043. Yet the Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC) calculates that 90% of books published over the last two decades are written by or about caucasian Americans. With so few books out there representing minority cultures, what's a librarian to do? Plenty, according to Dr. Katie Cunningham, Assistant Professor, Manhattanville College in this must-read blog post by publisher Lee & Low Books: "It is librarians who are the scholars of children's literature and should be seen as tremendous resources within school and local communities."
So how can we cultivate diversity in our libraries?Talk the Talk
We librarians love to talk books--we do it everyday. There are some books where race and setting and culture are an integral part of the story. If I were book-talking Duncan Tonatiuh's picture book Dear Primo: A Letter to My Cousin, I might say:
Two cousins, Charlie and Carlito, have never met; one lives in the U.S. and the other lives in Mexico. Through their letters to one another, they discover that even though they do things in different ways, they are more alike than different. Would I hand this book to a kid from Mexico? Most likely. What about a kid who's never traveled out of his or her hometown? Again, most likely yes. Spanish-speaking children will be thrilled to see Spanish words sprinkled throughout the text, and non-Spanish speakers will likely be excited to learn some Spanish words. But aside from the obvious cultural connections, I'd also hand it to a teacher who's planning a lesson on letter-writing, or a unit on North American geography. I'd talk it up to the grade-level team who is teaching about communities, family, or transportation.
But other books that feature diverse characters have nothing to do with race. We'd never open a book talk about Katherine Patterson's Bridge to Terabithia by saying, "This is the story of two white kids who..."
The main character in Mike Jung's Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities is Vincent Wu--superhero fan and all-around nice kid. Here's how I might book-talk this one:
Vincent, president of the Captain Stupendous Fan Club, has been noticing lately that his favorite superhero is less than super--he's losing battles that should be cake, and now his bumbling performances are threatening the safety of Copperplate City. Vincent is determined to help, but stumbles when he discovers that his favorite superhero is actually Polly, his secret crush. Race doesn't factor into this funny, charming middle grade sci-fi tale at all. Would I hand this to a Chinese-American kid? Yes, if he or she likes humor, sci-fi, and a bit of romance of the non-mushy variety. Would I hand this to a Chinese-American kid who asks for historical fiction recommendations? No. This book isn't for all Chinese-American kids, just like Bridge to Terabithia isn't for all (or only) white kids. Geeks, Girls, and Secret Identities is for kids who love this genre, or for readers who gobble up graphic novels and are willing to branch out to stories with more text.
Digital Curation Many teachers would like to use more diverse literature in the classroom. But with a brand new class each year, it's easy to fall back on read-alouds and literature circle picks that have worked in the past. As librarians, we can make our colleagues aware of the lack of diversity in children's literature and invite them to be advocates of variety. One way to do this is to make resources easily available to them. I use Livebinders (www.livebinders.com), a virtual collection of resources formatted much like a physical binder with tabs and subtabs. I can imbed my binders in the library link of our school's homepage, or share the link with staff only. Here's an example of one binder I've started to put together that contains resources for teaching middle grade books about the immigration experience in the U.S.: http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=821829 . For each book, I've created a tab for authors' websites, any teaching materials or curriculum guides, interviews, book trailers--anything that teachers might use with their students.
As Dr. Cunningham reminds us in the aforementioned Lee & Low interview, "It's time for teachers, parents, and librarians to take stock of the the books they are reading aloud and putting in children's hands and critically question whether the books they read represent our increasingly diverse society." As librarians, we can begin with our own teetering to-be-read piles. What's in yours?

Did A Tsunami Hit the Jersey Shore on June 13?
A large wave that swept a group of divers nearly 100 yards in 30 seconds and knocked three people off of a jetty may have been a tsunami, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminstration.
The report includes an account from a diver named Brian Coen who was spearfishing near Barnegat Inlet at the time.
Experts believe the tsunami conditions may have been caused by a collapse of a section of the continental shelf, sending wave energy towards the shore.
(Editor's Note: Though news of the tsunami surfaced on Monday, June 24, the events referenced in the report happened on June 13. It is in no way connected to severe weather that moved through the area on the 24th.)

Toll-road forecasters' flights of fancy
Anyone can make a mistake – I've made plenty – but totally botching an alleged "core competency" four times in a row at the cost of many billions of dollars, well, that takes a special talent. Collectively, that's a talent the traffic forecasting trade has in spades – and lots of other earth-moving equipment.
It's a talent that should bring the ambulance chasers out soon enough with a class action or two on behalf of Brisconnections investors who have done their dough thanks to the flights of fancy that were sold as traffic forecasts for the Sunshine State's Airport Link tunnel.
Good luck finding anyone with money to sue – I can't imagine Arup, the consultants getting the credit for the failed forecasts, having enough to be worth pursuing after the legal fees. Or maybe the receivers will have a go, following the example of Korda Mentha having a crack at Aecom, the mob who did the incorrect forecasts for Brisbane's failed Clem7 tunnel.
If it was just Brisconnections, I could have some sympathy for Arup, as Brisbane drivers are indeed strange and, with the benefit of hindsight, unpredictable beasts. Aside from being tightwads, unwilling to spend a few dollars to save up to 20 minutes in the traffic jams above-ground, it seems Brisvegans are simply scared of the tunnel – it's different, it's long, it's lonely down there and what if I take the wrong exit, could I end up in Tasmania?
(That's in keeping with Queenslanders being the nation's worst drivers – the most likely to tailgate, the most likely to sit in the fast lane causing tailgating, the most likely to display aggro behind the wheel; the mob that needed to be taught how to "zipper", what the rest of the country calls "merging". I can safely say this because I am a loyal Queenslander, albeit now a Sydneysider, and we can criticise our own. Anything said by cockroaches and Mexicans (NSW league fans and Victorians) has no merit or meaning – they're just jealous and/or ignorant, particularly the ones with the funny football.)
When Airport Link opened – and was free – there was a brief rush of novelty-item interest, with more than 80,000 people a day checking it out and apparently being terrified by the experience. As Matt O'Sullivan reported, Arup had predicted that Airport Link would attract about 135,000 vehicles a day just a month after it opened in July, rising to 291,000 vehicles by 2026, but usage has actually been falling. In December, an average of just 47,000 vehicles a day used the toll road.
But it's not just Brisconnections and it's not just Arup. There's also Sydney's Lane Cove tunnel – fail. And Sydney's Cross City tunnel – fail. And Brisbane's Clem7. And while it was people rather than cars, the Sydney Airport rail link was a similar fail. The forecast traffic numbers on which the financial models depended all turned out to be useless. Chook gizzards under a full moon would be as accurate.
While traffic forecasting for some toll roads has worked well enough, the percentage of hits to misses could make this game as much luck as skill. It would be tempting to believe all these big insolvencies had been the fault of firms one bead short of an abacus, but maybe the game is just too difficult to pretend to play it with certainty.
The reality is that forecasting is always a risky business. For all the attempts to de-risk it and the attendant pseudo-science, predicting how people will react to various situations and opportunities is as much guesswork as craft.
The Reserve Bank, our best economic forecaster, has been honest enough to research and publish that you still wouldn't want to bet your house on the best in this particular field. The bad odds are demonstrated by the ability of most new products to rapidly fail in the marketplace – the people who made them really couldn't know for sure if the people they made them for would want to buy them.
When the failure is a K-tel doggy poop scoop, it doesn't matter. When it's the latest in a string of public-private partnership investments in infrastructure, and one that cost several billion dollars and might have blown half of it, that matters quite a lot – and not just because of the investors and bankers done over.
Governments that can't afford to build the infrastructure their cities need thought they could solve the problem by outsourcing it to private investors. The end users would pay the investors for it and everyone would be happy – except perhaps the end users who find the tolls expensive.
And sometimes that is just what happens. More often now, another set of infrastructure investors buy the failed projects from the receivers at an enormous discount and do quite nicely out of other people's mistakes. The end users still find the tolls expensive. But the risk premium investors now require to build new projects in light of their miserable tunnel experiences means the toll charges would have to be sky-high to start with – so high that few people would be prepared to pay them and it won't happen.
Enter the pleas for a government guarantee, a variation on agrarian socialism, the ability to privatise profits and socialise losses. It's a wrong and dangerous thing and we shouldn't go there.
Cities sometimes need infrastructure that, of itself, can't generate a healthy private-sector rate of return. Yet the total return to society of that loss-making infrastructure can be positive – the savings from bottlenecks cleared, productivity improved, safety enhanced.
Brisbane needs the Airport Link tunnel and the rest of its shiny new roads. Good transport systems are necessary to make a place attractive to live and to invest in. The benefit of having them will become more obvious in the years ahead. The next wave of Mexicans who can put up with Melbourne tunnels (they close a lane when it gets busy!) will love the Airport Link. Right now, though, the traffic figures show Airport Link is more than Brisbane needs. So was Sydney's Harbour Bridge back in the 1930s.
Which gets to the essence of the problem: Australian governments can borrow more cheaply than the private sector to invest in infrastructure. The federal government in particular can borrow extremely cheaply on very long terms. We need the infrastructure and we can afford to service those cheap long-term loans of a couple of percentage points when they're spent on projects that have long-term total returns in double digits.
It's what the Gang of Five present and former Reserve Bank board members are, to a greater or lesser extent, recommending we do. But we have managed to scare ourselves rigid over the mention of the words "government debt", so we won't. The nation as a whole has become sillier than Brisbane drivers – especially those with the funny football.
Disclosure: One of my many mistakes was having the family super fund take a small punt on Brisconnections after it had tumbled – a little gamble on a restructuring deal and Queenslanders suddenly realising what a great toll road it is. Such losses happen in portfolios. If the Reds beat the Waratahs this weekend, it will still be all right.

Stand-up of the Navy Air and Missile Defense Center (NAMDC)
On Thursday, 30 April 2009, the Navy's newest Center of Excellence (COE), the Navy Air and Missile Defense Center, was opened for business onboard the Naval Weapons Development Center, Dahlgren Virginia. RADM Brad Hicks, who is also the Aegis BMD program director, will serve as the Center's first commander until a permanent flag is assigned later this year. The ceremony's keynote speaker, ADM Robert "Rat" Willard, Commander U.S. Pacific Fleet spared no words in underscoring the importance of this particular COE in the context of recent events to include the recent North Korean launch.
The challenge ahead of the center will be the role it plays in Navy's quest to equally field a national missile defense to shield the homeland, a regional defense for friends and allies and theater systems for protection of forward deployed forces while still accounting for the multi-mission nature of platforms like the Aegis-equipped cruisers and destroyers currently deployed. And the center's efforts won't end there, for the threat includes ever-increasingly proliferated cruise missiles and a host of other airborne threats. In that context the NAMDC will serve to integrate technical capabilities, warfighter concepts and C3 solutions to cover the entire kill chain, from the "high-end" of afloat BMD to the wave-tops.
The Center's focus also won't be Aegis- or even Navy-only, though that will constitute a good portion of its effort. As one of six envisioned Warfare Centers of Excellence that also include the Naval Strike Air Warfare Center in Fallon, Nev., and the Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command in San Diego, Calif, NAMDC as the lead organization for Navy and Joint AMD will also partner and work closely with organizations like Joint Force Command's Joint Warfighting Center down the road in Suffolk, VA. I should also note that with close proximity to Pax River and Norfolk/Oceana, the center should also have ready access to work with the VAW and VFA communities, especially important when one looks at the capabilities currently available (e.g. Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), and the AESA in the newer Super Hornets) and planned (e.g., E-2D Advanced Hawkeye) for those communities.
This was a much needed step in beginning to restore balance to a force that has , frankly, become very power projection-centric. Along with other warfare areas, such as blue-water ASW, it seemed in the post-Cold War environment that integrated air and missile defense was increasingly pushed to the back even while threats like those posed by new generations of low-observable, fast cruise missiles were widely proliferated. However, the emerging area denial capabilities of countries like China and Iran, not to mention the requirements levied by the Maritime Strategy (and, one presumes, the NOC when it ever is released) clearly demand the establishment of an organization to oversee the disparate parts of the air defense picture. I would go further to say that it is one which should have taken place a couple of decades ago, around the time of the introduction of Aegis to the fleet with all the attendant integration, coordination and synchronization issues that presented with other ship- and airborne platforms, sensors and networks.
The NAMDC will have an initial staff of approximately 25 personnel, and grow over the next three years to a fully operational staff of about 75 members, equally divided between military personnel, government civilian employees and supporting contractors. Considering the magnitude of the challenge ahead, I'd say they will all be fully engaged, especially if what ADM Willard said, that the Center is "the most important thing to the future of this capability in the Navy" comes to pass.

Getting an internship with a large Wall Street firm is notoriously difficult.
This year, Morgan Stanley accepted only 1.1% of applicants for its summer internship program. Similarly, Goldman Sachs only took about 2% of applicants in 2013.
These are even lower acceptance rates than the nation's most exclusive universities. So if you're a student coming from a "non-target school," (not top tier school) you're going to have your work cut out for you.
Wall Street's bulge bracket banks are known for recruiting from the most elite universities, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and other Ivy League schools. However, some of the biggest names in finance came from unexpected backgrounds.
Alexey Loganchuk is the founder of Upgrade Capital, an organization that aims to change the way firms recruit new employees. Loganchuk told us about a couple ways to differentiate yourself, based on what he's seen.
Here's how to give yourself an edge, regardless of your education.
1. Form relationships with any connections you have.
No matter where you went to school, chances are you'll find some alumni who went into finance. Find those connections, and build them into strong and lasting relationships. This doesn't mean just sending them an email every now and then, but being on a personal, first-name basis. Go beyond just networking. One of the most valuable assets you can have is someone in the industry who is pulling for you.
Loganchuk encouraged students to reach out to financial firms to learn more or create those contacts. Financial firms are usually very willing to send representatives to speak with students. Even if you are not from a target school, don't be afraid to call up some of these firms and show your interest.
This also applies if you want to turn an internship into a full-time job. Having someone who sponsors and mentors you will help not only in grabbing a position, but for your future career advancements as well. "In general, it's an uphill battle for anyone," Loganchuk said. "In the end, it really comes down for everybody to making personal connections."
2. Practice for the job you want to have.
Learn as much as you can on your own, and read everything you can about markets and investing. This should come from an intrinsic appetite for knowledge and figuring out how the market works. The legendary investor Bruce Kovner went from being a taxi driver to a hedge fund associate after proving he had read more financial works than those interviewing him.
"The best student investors I've met so far, it's kind of absurd, they literally have read 50+ books on investing," Loganchuk said. "This one kid that placed into J.P. Morgan read 35 books just last summer."
3. Determine and cultivate a specific skill set.
Figure out where you best fit into the industry, what skills you need, and then work on developing that set of skills. Loganchuk said many beneficial relationships with industry insiders come from demonstrating value in a unique way.
He said students have the tendency to treat internships like classwork, and focus on only following instructions. Then, they end up shooting themselves in the foot, by doing exactly what made them successful in school.
"When you're dealing with the trading floor and investments, these people aren't your professors. They don't want to sit there all day and teach you, and spoon-feed you information," he said. "This might sound very simple, but it's something which the overall majority of interns fail at."
4. Focus on the way you present yourself to firms.
Financial firms are also looking for someone who has intellectual humility, who can accept criticism and work through it, Loganchuk said.
However, another part of success is knowing when to keep calm after a loss. Loganchuk said one intern he knew through Upgrade Capital lost a fair amount of money on a trade because of sudden geopolitical events. The student went around the entire floor apologizing, "basically being a bit of a wreck."
"You're not helping yourself if you're actively presenting yourself as having failed in some way," he said.
Learn to walk the line between accepting bad trades and arrogance.
5. Get involved with firms and portfolio managers early.
Loganchuk said one action students can take is emailing portfolio managers to ask for feedback. If you have an investing idea that's relevant to a certain firm, send the portfolio manager your work. "If the work is solid, a fair percent of the time the PM responds," he said. "And you can do this regardless of where you go to school."
"Now, if your email reads @princeton.edu or @umissouri.edu, that might make a small difference," Loganchuk said. "But it's not as huge as people might think. Especially at smaller firms. Larger firms, from what I've seen, can be much more stubborn, much more elitist."
Good luck out there.

Tech Update
Mix and Distribute High-Viscosity Lubricants at Up to 500 psi
Lubrication-equipment manufacturer Industrial Innovations, Wyoming, MI, has introduced its new generation of Spra-Rite lubricant proportional-mixing machines (Pro-Mix). Stampers can use the Pro-Mix machines to blend synthetic, semi-synthetic and emulsified lubricants at multiple dilution ratios.
The machines feature a new controls package that can run single or multiple machines and distribute at pressures as high as 500 psi, making them a good solution for mixing and delivering high-viscosity lubricants. A new operator touchscreen and in-depth maintenance notification system built into the HMI make this a comprehensive and user-friendly system.
Pro-Mix systems can be connected to a network of piping to automatically deliver a continuous supply of pressurized lubricant mixtures to multiple presses. The systems feature stainless-steel reservoirs for stabilizing liquids prior to mixing and a patented Pro-Drive assembly for thorough mixing, control and pressurizing of the lubricant mixture. Additionally, fluid-level status indicators continuously monitor the level of the two fluids, and refill on demand or discontinue service if levels reach a low level during operation.
As in previous generations, the machines come in three models, all with an operator lockout feature that ensures mixture ratios are set for consistency without modification.Industrial Innovations: 616/249-1525; www.industrialinnovations.com

Epson announced an upgrade to the PowerLite Pro series of installation projectors. The new models are designed to be able to display images in almost any lighting condition, and work best when mounted into specific areas, such as conference rooms or even entry halls.
The new PowerLite Pro G-series installation projectors offer seven diverse projector models with advanced features such as edge blending, 360-degree installation, six optional lenses and several connectivity options. The projectors are designed for medium to large custom installations in meeting rooms, higher education settings and can even be used for digital signage and information display.
The new PowerLite Pro G models offer lumen and resolution combinations to meet a range of installation needs. They range from PowerLite Pro G6150, which offers 6,500 lumens in a 4:3 ratio display for $3,599, to the PowerLite Pro G6900WU, which has a widescreen display at 6,000 lumens for $6,499.
Featuring a new design and improvements, including a new chassis and cooling system, the Pro G-series includes several advanced features from the Epson PowerLite Pro Z-series projectors, such as edge-blending, 360-degree installation for more flexible setup, and Point and Arc image correction. The projectors are also equipped with features to enrich the video viewing experience, including frame interpolation to deliver sharper and smoother pictures during fast motion videos, and the Faroudja DCDi chipset to enhance video quality with deinterlacing.
The PowerLite Pro G6750WU, Pro G6900WU and Pro G6800 include connectivity options for HDBaseT, a new technology that integrates full HD video and audio, Ethernet, and serial communication, into a single CAT 5/6 cable that can be extended up to 328 feet. The Pro G6900WU and Pro G6800 integrate connectivity for HD-SDI, which is the standard for transmitting uncompressed broadcast-grade HD video and signals over short distances.
The new color brightness specification — measuring red, green and blue — published by the Society of Information Display allows consumers to compare projector color brightness without conducting a side-by-side shootout. With today's high-definition content, teachers and students want to enjoy content with higher quality in brighter environments. For a truly impressive image, projectors need to offer both high color brightness and high white brightness.
The PowerLite Pro G6550WU, Pro G6450WU, Pro G6050W, Pro G6150 will ship in April; the Pro G6750WU will ship in May; and the Pro G6900WU and Pro G6800 will ship in July. All Epson's PowerLite Pro projectors come with a three-year limited warranty.

Hagerstown Pharmacist Pleads Guilty To Health Care Fraud For Improperly Billing Medicare And Medicaid
BALTIMORE - David Russo, age 62, of Hagerstown, Maryland pleaded guilty today to health care fraud in connection with a scheme to defraud Medicare and Medicaid by billing for prescriptions that Russo knew were not written for a legitimate medical purpose.
The guilty plea was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein and Special Agent in Charge Karl C. Colder of the Drug Enforcement Administration - Washington Field Division.
"As prescription pharmaceutical abuse grows, so too does the resolve of DEA to investigate and uncover the illicit activities which fuel this problem," stated Karl C. Colder, Special Agent in Charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Washington Field Division.
According to his plea agreement, Russo, a licensed pharmacist, owned and operated a pharmacy known as "Russo's Rx," located at 25 North Cannon Avenue in Hagerstown. Russo admitted that from January 2009 through December 2010, he filled prescriptions for oxycodone, methadone and benzodiazepines that he knew were issued outside of the legitimate medical course and fraudulently billed Medicare and Medicaid for those prescriptions. The sheer number of prescriptions for oxycodone and methadone indicated that the prescriptions were not valid.
In addition, Russo accepted cash for Schedule II drugs when the drugs were not covered by Medicaid or Medicare. Schedule II drugs, including oxycodone and methadone, are approved for medical use and also have a very high abuse potential. They are regulated by the DEA. Another indicator that Russo knew the prescriptions were not for a legitimate medical purpose is that he "split" prescriptions, accepting an amount of cash at the time of a transaction and then accepting the remaining amount at a later time. Russo also filled two prescriptions for a Schedule II drug on the same day for the same patient but charged one to insurance and accepted cash for the other. The investigation showed that: customers would call ahead of time to ask Russo if he had oxycodone "in stock" and how much it would cost; customers traveled from out of state or in van loads to his pharmacy; and many customers were receiving the same "cocktail" prescription of oxycodone, Roxicodone and Xanax, which are well known in medicine and pharmacy as being extremely dangerous when combined because of the severe side effects and potential for addiction and abuse.
Further, Russo made gross sales of nearly $700,000 a month for several months in 2010 - a dramatic increase over previous months. He also made at least 55 cash deposits between December 1, 2009 and June 15, 2010 totaling $862,000. Russo even maintained a cash counting machine in his pharmacy.
In December 2010, the DEA executed a search warrant at Russo's Rx and seized $39,000 in cash from the pharmacy - cash that was earned from unlawful dispensation of oxycodone, methadone and benzodiazepines. Since that date, Russo admitted that he deleted thousands of unlawful prescriptions from his prescription database. From January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010, Russo's Rx dispensed over 700,000 dosage units of oxycodone and 117,000 dosage units for methadone for the invalid prescriptions. The vast majority of the remaining invalid prescriptions were for other schedule II narcotics and benzodiazepines. For all these prescriptions, Russo improperly billed, and received payment for, over $109,207.26 to Medicare and at least $90,939.07 to Medicaid, with a total approximate loss of $200,146.33.
As part of his plea agreement, Russo will be required to pay restitution in the full amount of the loss, and to forfeit the $39,000 in cash seized during the search of the pharmacy in 2010.
Russo faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, although Russo and government have agreed to jointly recommend a sentence of 30 months in prison. U.S. District Judge George L. Russell III has scheduled sentencing for August 22, 2013 at 2:00 p.m.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein praised the DEA for its work in the investigation and thanked the Maryland Division of Drug Control and the Maryland Board of Pharmacy for their assistance in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sandra Wilkinson, Thomas Corcoran and Ayn M. Ducao, who are prosecuting the case.

8.6-oz 100% polyester (30% recycled) high-pile, double-faced fleece.
Fabric is certified as bluesign® approvedView The Footprint Chronicles
bluesign® Approved Fabric
Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for the end customers.
In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.
Any fabric you see that's bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.
Recycled Polyester
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.

text: One very cool meeting I had at ISC West was with Trish Bambury, the marketing gal for new U.S. entrant Paxton Access, an IP access control maker that's done very well in the UK and is just now ramping up efforts here in the States. In general, I think their stuff is good-looking, with a very slick GUI and a general appreciation of design and aesthetics that I find largely missing in the market as a whole. But that's not even the good part. At the end of my interview with Trish (who's got one of the most interesting British accents you're likely to come across - plus I'm a sucker for all those Britishisms), she pointed me to an area of their web site where you can read every comment ever sent in response to the survey they send out following every service call. There are currently 4,772 responses posted, all dated and timed, some of them with signatures, and just about all of them are positive. But they're not filtered, as you will come across the occasional stinging indictment. That's confidence in your product and your service. Well done. You have to go back to June of 2007 to find a really sharp comment, but it ends with this, which I always find amusing: I would rather suspect this comment will not get published on the Paxton Home Page. Trish tells me the people at Paxton are "anoraks," which is a British term for calling people obsessive compulsive, from what I can tell. She says it's not quite a compliment, but if it results in what they've got to offer, it can't be that bad.

Study provides some ugly truths about lipstick
Lipstick is a major part of Marianne Horvath's life. The Fairfield resident has been a makeup artist for 25 years, with clients that include television personalities from broadcast and cable networks. Not shockingly, lip products are an important piece of her repertoire -- not just when making up faces for a living, but when creating her own look as well.
"I definitely use it on myself," Horvath said. "I'd rather use lipstick than mascara."
Given her relationship with the products, Horvath keeps an eye on the latest research and revelations about makeup. That includes a recent study out of the University of California- Berkeley School of Public Health showing lipsticks and lip glosses can contain lead, cadmium, aluminum and other metals -- sometimes at a level that can raise health concerns. For the study, published Thursday in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, researchers tested 32 lip products commonly found in drugstores and department stores. Of the tested products, eight were lipsticks and 24 were lip glosses.
Lead was found in 24 of the samples, but at a level that was lower than the acceptable daily intake level for the metal. However, the study showed, high use of some of the lip products could result in potential overexposure to the elements chromium, aluminum, cadmium and manganese. Some of these chemicals are linked to negative health effects. For instance, exposure to high concentrations of manganese over time has been linked to toxicity in the nervous system.
Researchers don't advocate tossing the gloss just yet, but did recommend further studies and suggested that the presence of potentially toxic metals in cosmetics should be regulated.
Locally, experts also advised caution, but not overreaction, when it comes to lip wear. The Berkeley study isn't the first one to show there are some ugly things lurking in these products, said Dr. Peter McAllister, medical director of clinical research at Associated Neurologists of Southern Connecticut. McAllister, whose office is in Fairfield, said lipsticks aren't even the only culprits. He said many other cosmetics, and as well as other products we use on regular basis, have some levels of potentially harmful elements.
"We're exposed to minerals and metals in low doses all the time," McAllister said.
The thing the some people might find worrisome about chemicals in lipstick is that, because it's worn on the mouth, those who wear it regularly swallow some of it. The Berkeley study estimated that those who wear it ingest at least 24 milligrams of lip makeup per day. Those who really pile on the paint and reapply throughout the day can swallow as much as 87 milligrams a day.
McAllister said while people shouldn't be too troubled by their lipstick, there's a possibility that wearing day after day, year after year, can carry some health risks.
"I don't think we need to panic," he said. "Probably the safest bet is to wear natural, organic products, or to research products to see what's in them."
Meanwhile, Horvath said, while the findings are worth paying attention to, it's nearly impossible to avoid products that might contain something that could be worrisome at certain levels. Even organic products aren't an answer for everyone, she said. "Some people are sensitive to the natural stuff, too," Horvath said.
She said she always applies lip balm under lipsticks, with the idea of creating a barrier between the lips and the lipstick that prevents too much absorption.
"I hope that helps," Horvath said. For herself, she said, she always goes without makeup on the days she isn't working. "I like to give my face a break," she said.

The Meaning of "OSU"
The Meaning of "OSU" "Osu" means patience, respect, and appreciation. In order to develop a strong body and strong spirit it is necessary to undergo rigorous training. This is very demanding, because you must push yourself to what you believe to be your limit, when you want to stop; to give up. When you reach this point you must fight yourself and your weakness and you must win. To do this you must learn to persevere, but above all you must learn to be patient. This is OSU! The reason you

From The Beginning"Looking back, when I first started fitting eyewear as a career, I remember how mundane and boring the styles some manufacturers were putting out were. That was until the late 80's, a transformation took place with the introduction of The Oliver Peoples Collection to the streets of New York City. This new, intriguing company had a story which went something like this; During an estate sale of a prominent businessman named Oliver Peoples, a crate of vintage eye wear belonging to this well dressed but newly deceased individual was sold at auction to an Los Angeles based visionary Larry Leight. Larry saw this find as an inspiration to reproduce and re-invent the eyewear industry. With the filigree details and refreshing shapes of eye wear of yesteryear, he resurrected face jewelry under the Oliver Peoples banner. Coming to New York hoping to distribute this new look to the east coast, Larry sought some names that were stirring the pot of the optical world out east. I being one of them. While viewing the collection, I remember saying to myself, I am going to be part of something big, being instrumental in the revolution of eye wear as we know it. Since then, a strong bond between Oliver Peoples and myself took place. With every passing collection Oliver peoples have proven themselves leaders of this fashion forward industry. Over the years I have witnessed one collection after another coming out and setting the trend. It has been humorous watching other companies following the style, design and color palate of this pioneering powerhouse. Without fail, employees and clients have been pointing their fingers at these very wearable styles with unusual color palates. Our relationship has been strong for 25 years now and I still anticipate every new style that they produce." - Anthony Aiden

WASHINGTON, DC — Health club owners could have new reasons to be wary of selling sports supplements if proposed legislation recently introduced by Sen. John McCain becomes law.
The new bill, called the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010, could hold retailers and health club operators responsible for the safety of the sports supplements they sell. It was designed to give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) additional powers over supplement retailers and suppliers, and update the existing Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.
Some health club operators shied away from selling sports supplements after a 1999 New York lawsuit was filed against a personal trainer and the Crunch club that employed her. The lawsuit followed a woman's death that was possibly linked to an ephedra-based supplement that the trainer allegedly recommended to her.
Although the preliminary version of the bill does not specify the type of liability club operators and retailers would be held to, it would require extra paperwork if passed, says Jason Phillips, associate editor of the Nutrition Business Journal.
"Any business that sells supplements will need to obtain some sort of certificate of compliance from the supplement manufacturer, which the manufacturer and retailer will be required to update annually," Phillips says, based on his interpretation of the bill. "The certificate will prove that the company is properly registered and its products are certified as containing compliant ingredients with the Health and Human Services secretary."
The decision to continue selling supplements if the bill passes depends on club operators' comfort level with the products they sell, says Ian McGriff, director of fitness, Tipton Lakes Athletic Club, Columbus, IN. McGriff says he believes in the brand of supplements that his club sells because they are independently tested by a third party. He also has never heard of safety issues with this brand of supplements.
"Other brands, however, I would not be willing to sell if I personally could be held responsible as I have no idea what other companies' product manufacturing concerns are," he says.
McGriff adds that the pending McCain bill could help members feel more confident about the supplements they purchase at clubs.
"The opportunity to help individuals achieve greater results, and also create an additional revenue stream, is important to my business," McGriff says. "I also believe that by making a need for certification public to our client and member base, that we would be doing ourselves and our clients a service by assuring them that we are providing them with a quality product that they can trust."
Many club insurance policies do not cover claims arising from supplement sales, says Ken Reinig, senior vice president of Association Insurance Group, which specializes in insurance for the fitness industry.
Reinig says under current laws, club owners can protect themselves from liability by being added as an additional insured under the manufacturer's product liability insurance. Most supplement manufacturers have a vendor's liability endorsement that covers club owners as a distributor of their product, he says.
Suppliers in the $25.2 billion U.S. supplement industry fear the new proposed requirements could cause significant losses in sales. The Nutrition Business Journal estimates that U.S. consumers spent $2.7 billion on sports supplements in 2008, and that the sports supplement category could see a sales retraction of at least 30 percent if the bill resulted in one or more popular ingredients being removed from the market.
In its current form, the bill also requires changes in adverse events reporting and would remove the grandfather clause for ingredients introduced before Oct. 15, 1994.
Industry trade groups say existing laws need to be more stringently upheld.
"What we cannot support is wholesale changes to a regulatory structure that is working and could work better if the measures we have supported were adopted," John Gay, executive director and CEO of the Natural Products Association, said in a statement. "A series of new laws for criminals to ignore is not the answer."
The United States Anti-Doping Agency voiced support for the bill. The bill is similar to that organization's Supplement Safety Now campaign, which advocates limiting sales of steroids in dietary supplements. The campaign garnered the support of all of the major league sports organizations and the U.S. Olympic Committee.
The American College of Sports Medicine also expressed support for McCain's bill.

DOLLY will never go away again" — or so promises the refrain from the most famous title song of all time. But in fact, since Carol Channing packed up "Hello, Dolly!" in 1996, after at least 5,000 performances in several Broadway runs and numerous tours around the country, no major new production has dared come near New York. It's not clear why: with songs by Jerry Herman, book by Michael Stewart and original direction and choreography by Gower Champion, the show plays well in almost any circumstances. (Please ignore the 1969 movie starring Barbra Streisand.) Perhaps something about its very solidity, and the familiarity of Ms. Channing's extreme interpretation of the meddling, matchmaking widow, has recently kept top-drawer singing actresses away.
But after her success as Golda Meir in "Golda's Balcony" — one of the longest-running solo shows in Broadway history — Tovah Feldshuh, 53, felt she was ready for that other take-charge scrapper with a Jewish surname, Dolly Gallagher Levi. For the production that opened on Saturday at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, N.J., and runs through July 23, Ms. Feldshuh rethought the character, researching the direct source material (Thornton Wilder's plays "The Matchmaker" and "The Merchant of Yonkers") and antecedents as diverse as 19th-century Viennese farce, Molière and commedia dell'arte.
Last month, a day before rehearsals for the Paper Mill production began, Ms. Feldshuh welcomed Ms. Channing, 85, to her Central Park West apartment to talk Dolly. Ms. Channing, who is touring in a solo show called "The First Eighty Years Are the Hardest" but devotes most of her time to her educational foundation, was dressed in an all-black ensemble and owl glasses. Ms. Feldshuh wore a pink camisole and a diaphanous flowered skirt. The contrast in styles continued as they discussed their approaches to the role. Excerpts from the conversation follow.
JESSE GREEN Who is Dolly? Where do you begin with her as a character?
CAROL CHANNING Find the spine of the whole play. I found it buried in Dolly's last soliloquy to her dead husband, Ephraim. She's widowed, she's frightened, she's eking out an existence, and she says to him, "Ephraim, I want to rejoin the human race." It's what she sings: "Before the parade passes by, I'm gonna get in step while there's still time left."
Q Ms. Channing gave us a picture of the through-line of the piece —
CHANNING "Before the parade passes by, before it all moves on and only I'm left."
Q Ms. Feldshuh, you begin rehearsals tomorrow and I want to ask you —
CHANNING "I'm ready to move out in front!" See, it's not just her, it's everybody. She's going to get Cornelius and Barnaby out of that basement to rejoin the human race. She's going to get Mrs. Molloy out of that hat shop and — I'm sorry, I just had to finish that.
Q It's fine. Ms. Feldshuh —
CHANNING "I've had enough of just passing by life!" The boys have got to do it, the girls, the chorus, the lyric sopranos, the bass voices. Everybody's got to rejoin the human race.
Q Now, Ms. Feldshuh, what are the givens of the character?
CHANNING I saw it in London without Dolly! It was an ensemble piece until Wilder added Dolly. And then one Wednesday matinee, I realized I am Thornton Wilder.
FELDSHUH You are Thornton Wilder?
CHANNING Dolly is Thornton Wilder. That's his nature up there. I got to know him before he died, and wasn't that a privilege? And I said, "Is it possible, Thornton, that this is the spine?" He said: "I don't know. I never thought of it."
Q Huh.
CHANNING But Tovah's got to have her own viewpoint. Otherwise the audience knows that she's copying somebody else's.
FELDSHUH Which brings me to my mother's driver, who said, "Are you going to wear the blond wig?" And I said: "Milton! I'm not Carol Channing! Would you also like me to grow a foot, be a Christian Scientist born in Seattle and raised in San Francisco with a high I.Q.?"
CHANNING Oh, I have no I.Q.
FELDSHUH You're kidding. You went to Bennington. I'm a Sarah Lawrence girl.
CHANNING Same thing.
FELDSHUH At any event, we totally agree on the idea of the gestalt of the character being to rejoin the human race and to take people with her. Where we differ is that I couldn't afford to follow the Jewish roots for Dolly Levi.
CHANNING Why not?
FELDSHUH Because I believe that she is as Thornton Wilder writes: Dorothy Gallagher, who marries Ephraim Levi. They're drinking a hot toddy every night — that's not Jewish. Now, Carol, you could afford to play it Jewish, because it went through the tubing of Carol Channing. But if Tovah Feldshuh goes the Jewish route ...
Q Ms. Channing, on what basis did you decide to play Dolly as a Jew?
CHANNING On the basis of my own early marriage right out of Bennington. I married into a Galician, Yiddish-speaking family.
FELDSHUH What any good acting teacher says is: "What is it that turns your motor over? What is it that excites you?" That's what you've got to find. You want to know what excites me? I think she married up. The potato famine existed in Ireland in the 1840's and 50's when Dolly Gallagher was born. It was primarily in the west of Ireland, which is very useful to us because the accent there is very soft. So she has that nice Irish twang.
CHANNING To me, she's got a New York accent. She was born under the Third Avenue El. So she can't stop shouting.
FELDSHUH And my back story is that she's the daughter of Philip Michael and Philomena Gallagher. Her family with her 12 siblings made it out of Ireland, starving, I want you to know, when she was about 12 years old, and they settled on the Lower East Side. And then she met this great Jewish husband.
CHANNING She's a goy who got lucky.
FELDSHUH Right — a few stomach problems, great jewelry, no afterlife. But she didn't convert. And now he's died, and she sold the jewelry, and she ain't got nothing left. Of course, she's learned some things about Judaism, but she's as Christian as she was 20 years ago. So from me you're getting a Dolly Levi that's a Dolly Gallagher Levi, maybe for the first time.
CHANNING See, from my own personal experience, I've found that you turn Jewish when you're married to a Jew.
Q Others have played her not Jewish. Pearl Bailey, obviously. Ethel Merman, who Jerry Herman actually had in mind —
FELDSHUH She was German. And Mary Martin played her —
CHANNING Without a laugh in it.
Q Ms. Channing, did you like any of your Broadway successors in the role?
CHANNING Oh, I was too busy taking the show on tour to see them successing. I saw the movie, though. I thought I was looking at "Medea"!
FELDSHUH It was a disaster.
CHANNING They're still trying to make enough money to tear the sets down.
Q Whereas the stage show really is indestructible. Ms. Channing, did you know that Dolly was a great part when you auditioned for it?
CHANNING Yes. Gower Champion didn't want me, but I knew if I didn't get it, I was going to jump out the window.
FELDSHUH But it was you who established it as a great role by putting your stamp on it.
CHANNING Oh, come on now.
FELDSHUH You created the size of this role. Are you kidding me?
Q It's a gigantic role to begin with.
CHANNING It wasn't originally. But the audience lost interest when Dolly wasn't the center. So more and more of Dolly crept in. What had started as an ensemble farce became more of a character drama. When they added "Before the Parade Passes By" it all changed.
FELDSHUH That happens once you put Jerry Herman in the mix. You know, people confuse his simplicity with lack of depth. But in this score the penny drops very deep. Underneath the hilarity is a fear of starving.
CHANNING Oh, Jerry is going to be much happier with Tovah.
Q Why do you say that?
CHANNING Because, for one thing, he had to make the keys too low for me. He wrote everything with his mother, who was a lyric soprano, in mind.
Q Ms. Feldshuh, are you singing in Ms. Channing's keys?
FELDSHUH We're bringing some of them up. And we're adding a song that they haven't used for some time, called "Love, Look in My Window," which was written for Merman. It unmasks Dolly alone, which you really need.
CHANNING Oh, gosh, that's going to be meaningful.
Q Are there any problems that never got solved? Any dangers?
CHANNING Well, I kept walking off the runway — into a good-natured fat lady's lap one time. I asked Gower to please put a dancer in front of me as a guide. "What about little bitty Johnny Mineo? They won't even notice him." And he said, "Good dancers are too hard to find." Another time I broke my arm. And once I did it for two weeks in a wheelchair. And of course it wore out my voice constantly.
FELDSHUH The first thing I did when I was offered the role was to get to my voice teacher because of the fear of not being able to carry forth.
CHANNING But the teacher is not playing the character; you are. I had laryngitis for 30 years, but it didn't matter because it's a comedy. And you will make it funny.
FELDSHUH I promise. But eight performances a week is really —
CHANNING It's inhuman. It's superhuman.
Q Luckily, the Paper Mill production is a limited run.
CHANNING What? No!
