Research has shown that all students and especially those receiving special education who follow a carefully crafted transition plan are more likely to achieve post-secondary success. Helping professionals can craft these plans, but many may not be aware of the various resources available to ensure students' successful transition. One of the main resources available to parents/guardians and students are their classroom teachers. Teachers who incorporate transition-related content into instruction using universal design for learning (UDL) principles are in the best position to set up students for post-secondary success. It is thus necessary that parents/guardians and students are trained to inform teachers about UDL and advocate for their use in classroom instruction on an ongoing basis.

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command is cautioning the Army community to be on the lookout for charitable schemes and scams associated with "disaster fraud" donations.
With these scams, criminals will use manmade or natural catastrophes, such as the recent damage and flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey, to get individuals to donate to charities claiming to support affected victims. Some of these organizations are fraudulent, or misleading at best because they do not have the infrastructure to support the affected disaster area.

Everyone's college experience is unique—and probably not quite what they were expecting, but here are some tried and true tips on how to get through it.
1. Get involved.
This point may be the most overhyped, but it's still valid. Go to your school's activities fair if they have one; otherwise, keep your eyes open for opportunities to join different clubs or teams. Joining a club or team can often provide a much-needed relief from your everyday classes or responsibilities, and it's a great way to meet new people or to try something new! Many schools even have niche groups such as unicycle clubs, quidditch teams (of Harry Potter fame), and virtual reality clubs. If you don't find a club that aligns with your interests, you can always start your own!
2. Learn how to network.

As part of ongoing Defense Department and Department of Veteran's Affairs efforts to continue to combat suicide, Pentagon officials recently emphasized the powerful role of individuals -- as well as peer support and other resources -- in suicide prevention.
DoD, in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs, is promoting the "The Power of 1" campaign during September in observance of Suicide Prevention Month. The theme underscores the belief that individuals have the power to teach reliance, recognize warning signs, intervene, chat or make a call; it only takes one person or one act to save another person's life.

The day after the terrorist attack on the Pentagon, the scene was still chaotic. Only essential military and civilian workers were required to come to the building. Parking was at Reagan-National Airport, as all U.S. airspace was still closed. As employees got off the Metro train, Pentagon police stood with weapons examining everyone's badge. Those without a Pentagon ID were told to keep traveling on. The conversation in the building was about friends who remained missing.

A government deserter has made sensational new claims about an unorthodox strategy that installed Campbell Newman as Queensland premier.
Liberal National Party defector Ray Hopper says Mr Newman is premier in name only and his deputy Jeff Seeney is running the state along with Treasurer Tim Nicholls.
He claims the men did a secret deal to put Mr Newman up as a leader-in-waiting from outside the parliament, convinced he would lose the seat of Ashgrove despite an LNP general election win.
But it only went half-right and the deal landed Queensland with a premier who knows he's not the boss, Mr Hopper says.
The LNP defector, who joined Katter's Australian Party a week ago, said the plan was forced on LNP members at a partyroom meeting well before the March election.
He said it was part of an elaborate plan to give the two men a shot at the premier's job.
"This was a trip to the premiership by either Seeney or Nicholls," Mr Hopper said on Monday.
"Seeney runs the government; Nicholls is next and then Newman," he said, saying Mr Newman was "very aware" of his position in the pecking order.
Mr Seeney, who is acting premier while Mr Newman is on a trade mission, scoffed at the claims, telling reporters he had no ambitions to be premier.
"What you are seeing today are crazy claims from people who are clearly disaffected," he told reporters, saying Mr Newman was a "great premier".
A spokeswoman for the premier said the claims were ridiculous, and other ministers lined up to support Mr Newman.
"I think this should all be taken in the context of Ray Hopper having left the LNP last week," Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek said.
Local Government Minister David Crisafulli said Mr Newman was "anything but a puppet".
However, another LNP deserter, Alex Douglas, who quit the party after claiming he was forced out as chairman of parliament's ethics committee, did not disagree with Mr Hopper's version of pre-election events.
"Fascinating, isn't it? And look where we are now," the newly independent MP told AAP, saying the LNP was "facing electoral oblivion".
Meanwhile, unions say they now have proof the government's 14,000 public-sector job cuts were driven by a political agenda.
Mr Hopper has told AAP the government was advised its controversial public-sector job cuts could be achieved through natural attrition.
But he said the leadership team was adamant 14,000 jobs had to go within a year so voters "would have time to forget about it before the next election".
Julie Bignell, from the public sector union Together, said: "It's always good to see the truth ... We all know that these cuts are ideologically driven," But Mr Seeney said the cuts were unavoidable.
"There was no other alternative except for the one we were forced to take," he said.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Endicott College outscored MIT, 27-4, during the last 16 minutes of regulation en route to a 48-46 come-from-behind victory in a non-conference women's basketball game on Tuesday night. Freshman McKenzie Farquharson (West Haven, Conn.) paced the Gulls' (3-0) balanced attack with nine points off the bench to go along with seven rebounds. Junior Tamara Pena (Aliso Viejo, Calif.) led the Engineers (1-2) with a game-high 15 points and added two steals.
MIT jumped out to a 14-4 lead after four minutes expired but Endicott battled back, narrowing the gap to one (18-17) at the 13:08 mark Sophomore Kayleen Whall (Foxboro, Mass.) registered seven points during the spurt before a three-minute defensive battle ensued. Pena ended the stalemate with a layup and followed with a three-pointer as the Engineers closed the half on a 12-4 run which resulted in a 32-21 advantage.
The Cardinal and Gray registered eight straight points during the first four minutes of the second stanza, creating its largest margin of the night (40-21). The Gulls slowly chipped away at the deficit as their game-changing rally included 16 unanswered points and put them ahead, 48-44, with 1:27 left to play. Junior Samantha Crough (Cohasset, Mass.) drained a pair of jumpers which evened the score at 44 and then sophomore Katelyn Wright (Sudbury, Mass.) followed with a trey and a free throw later on to put the visitors in front for good.
Freshman Sabrina Drammis's (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) jumper ended MIT's scoring drought with 1:11 to go. After a missed three by Wright, sophomore Alexxis Isaac (San Antonio, Texas) hauled in the rebound which set up MIT's final charge. The Engineers had three opportunities to force overtime or capture the victory during the final 18 seconds but their attempts were just off the mark.
Sophomore Mari Kordell (Ijamsville, Md.) posted 12 points and four rebounds for MIT while freshman Maya Ramachandran (Fremont, Calif.) tallied 18 boards, six points, four blocks, and two assists. Isaac finished with six points, four rebounds, and two steals as senior Lauren Sascha Burton (Seattle, Wash.) notched five rebounds and five assists.
Senior Jen McBrien (Medfield, Mass.) and Crough both recorded eight points and five rebounds for the Gulls while junior Jennifer White (Lisbon, N.H.) led the way with nine rebounds. Wright totaled seven points as junior Ashley Walenta (Plainfield, Conn.) hauled in seven rebounds.
MIT returns to action on Saturday, Nov. 24 when it hosts Emerson College in another non-conference tilt. Endicott takes on Salve Regina University on Wednesday, Nov. 28 in its first Commonwealth Coast Conference game of the year.

Microfilm Search Strategies
Because many census searches are still made on microfilm, below are some suggestions to make research easier.
- Become familiar with the surnames in your area so that you can recognize them with only half of their letters distinct. Study a county history, a tax list, or a landowner's atlas.
- Create a 'pony' from the actual entries in the census. How does the writer make a, h, s, p, j, and other letters which could be misinterpreted? Draft an alphabet with uppercase and lowercase letters for comparison. An easy way is to slip a piece of plain paper onto the viewing surface and trace the letters from the page.
- Use a reader in a darkened room, with a strong light to project the image. Slip a colored piece of paper'pink, yellow, and green are effective'onto the viewing surface.
- Copy the microfilmed page, enlarging or reducing the image to make it clearer and sharper. Many microfilm copiers have interchangeable lenses.
- Review the whole schedule so you don't miss important entries that appear out of place. Record all columns for each entry, even if the information seems unimportant, and record all members of the household whether they are familiar or not. In multiple-family dwellings, record all family units living in the building. These families are often related, especially in immigrant settlement areas.
- Copy the data exactly as it appears in the record. If the given name is abbreviated, copy the abbreviated form. Do not expand it. If the entry is crossed through or changed, copy the entry, the cross-through line, and the changes. Note carefully the last entry on each page. Family units may be split between two pages without a repeat of the surname.
- Use finding tools and indexes to get into the census quickly, then search the census carefully to get all the data it contains (see the reference list). If all the data is available, it is possible to block out the pedigree for several generations from this source alone. Then, proof can be sought in other records to ensure that names in the pedigree really belong there. If you are researching a common name like Brown or Jones, the censuses can help eliminate those that do not fit, making searches in other sources less time-consuming.

Of all the tongue-twisting medical terms that have entered HIVers' vocabularies, few have caused more grief than "lipoatrophy," which is the loss of fat from specific areas of the body -- most distressingly the face, but also peripheral parts of the body, such as the arms, legs and buttocks. This side effect has presented HIV-positive people with profound social and psychological challenges. (For a fast 411, see "Lipoatrophy at a Glance." To get definitions of key buzzwords, see "Lipoatrophy Buzzwords.")
|Want to see what lipoatrophy can do to your legs? Use your cursor to move the slider from left to right.
These are some of the symptoms that may indicate that HIV meds are messing with your body's metabolism:
- Lipodystrophy, or changes in body shape and appearance, including lipoatrophy (fat loss) and lipohypertrophy (fat accumulation)
- A sudden increase in lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides), which can raise your risk for heart disease
- Blood sugar problems, including diabetes, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance
- Bone and joint problems, such as osteoporosis, osteopenia and osteonecrosis
- Lactic acidosis, or an increased concentration of lactic acid in the blood
The way some HIV meds are believed to cause lipoatrophy is like this: Research has shown that three drugs in particular -- d4T (stavudine, Zerit), AZT (zidovudine, Retrovir) and ddI (didanosine, Videx) -- can damage tiny structures, called mitochondria, inside your fat cells. Mitochondria are tiny powerplants that convert nutrients, such as sugars and fats, into energy necessary for the cell to function. By blocking the production of an enzyme that mitochondria need in order to reproduce, HIV meds can cause more and more of a fat cell's mitochondria to fail, cutting off the cell's energy source. This has been proven with d4T, although there are less data to show this is true about AZT and ddI. Over time, that fat-cell loss becomes all too visible as lipoatrophy. (Researchers don't yet know whether the fat cells die outright or are just disabled. If they're disabled, it may mean that they can recover -- albeit oh-so-slowly -- when the drug causing the problem is stopped.)
... And What Lipoatrophy Is Not
When they first appeared in the 1990s, the symptoms of lipoatrophy were often confused with AIDS-related wasting syndrome, once a telltale signal of advanced HIV disease. In fact, the two conditions are extremely different: While lipoatrophy targets only fat cells in specific parts of the body, AIDS wasting destroys fat and muscle from all over the body. Moreover, while people with lipoatrophy typically have low viral loads because their HIV is being successfully suppressed by HIV medications, people with AIDS-related wasting are losing body weight because of the immune destruction caused by rampant viral replication.
Initially, many experts also mixed up lipoatrophy with lipohypertrophy, or fat accumulation, which was most commonly seen in the belly, back or (in women) breasts. How could fat loss be confused with its opposite? Because both conditions first appeared around the same time -- in the 1990s -- and often in the same person, leading some to believe that they were part of the same syndrome.
HIVer Jane (not her real name), for instance, started taking AZT + 3TC (lamivudine, Epivir) + indinavir (Crixivan) in 1995, and soon began to lose fat in her legs and forearms at the same time as she was rapidly gaining weight in her torso and belly. "I went from an A [bra] cup to a C cup in two months," she recalls. The strange fat gains and losses gave her body an out-of-proportion appearance. At the time, Jane believed she had what doctors were then mistakenly diagnosing as a bizarre "reshuffling" of the body's fat, rather than the two distinct conditions that are now known.
Lipohypertrophy's lumps, humps and bumps are more accurately diagnosed these days than they were when Jane first developed symptoms, but the cause(s) remains somewhat controversial. Most researchers agree that lipohypertrophy, like lipoatrophy, is likely the side effect of HIV drugs, but which meds and why are harder to pinpoint. Other theories include the familiar "it's-caused-by-interactions-between-drugs" idea and the more novel "it's-caused-by-the-immune-boosting-effects-of-treatment" argument. Future research, let's hope, will unlock lipohypertrophy's mysteries.
Meanwhile, in addition to Jane's body-shape changes, her total cholesterol steadily rose, topping out at a dangerous 350 -- another of the metabolic complications we now associate with some HIV meds. When she switched to a new combo in 2002, her cholesterol dropped like a rock and her lipohypertrophy markedly reversed. Diet and exercise have also helped.
Unfortunately, Jane's peripheral lipoatrophy is still stubbornly visible. "Sometimes I look at my skinny legs and fat belly and see proof of the disease," Jane says. "But I always try to change that perspective to proof that I'm surviving."
How Lipoatrophy Became the "New Look" of HIV
When lipoatrophy first appeared in the late '90s -- not long after the debut of combination HIV therapy, which brought many an ailing "Lazarus" back from death's door -- many doctors were slow to take the problem seriously. Some dismissed their patients' complaints as a matter of vanity: After all, wasn't "puppet face," as it was dubbed with typical HIVer black humor, a small price to pay for the fact that these new drugs gave people lifesaving control over the deadly bug?
Even physicians of a more sensitive stripe had difficulty facing the cruel irony that, as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Dr. David Wohl says, "The medications [that] were helping people to survive ... were also disfiguring them." As Dr. Wohl recalls, though, the distorting effects of lipoatrophy soon became undeniable: "I used to say I could go to our waiting room and tell which patients were taking Zerit just by looking at their faces."
For people who were suddenly faced with losing their face, lipoatrophy raised the issue of quality of life in an unprecedented way. For the first time, HIV treatment wasn't just about surviving. As the century turned, many began to ask: Was feeling better physically worth the loss of not only their looks, but also a key to their sense of self?
As the condition struck more and more HIVers -- causing fat to dissolve from faces, cheeks to go gaunt, deep folds to form around noses and mouths, temples and eye sockets to hollow out -- it fast replaced AIDS wasting and Kaposi's sarcoma lesions as the cause of the dreaded "AIDS look." As with any stigma, this development sometimes had devastating emotional consequences.
Many people with HIV met the challenge defiantly, wearing their lipoatrophy with a warrior's pride. A mild case of lipoatrophy could give a face a much-prized "chiseled" look; legs and arms could take on a gym-toned appearance.
But lots of others with severe lipoatrophy experienced a serious erosion of self-esteem and self-confidence; even their very identity suffered when they saw the sick-looking, aging, alien face in their mirror.
"Friends kept asking me if I was losing weight or feeling unwell," recalls long-time HIV treatment activist Nelson Vergel, who experienced what he describes as a mild case of lipoatrophy while taking d4T. "It was really bothering me because the meds were making me feel better than I had in a long time."

BRIDGEWATER, Va. – Behind an efficient offense and a shutdown defense that turned in a pair of scores on the day, the Bridgewater Eagles football team opened the 2013 season in style with a methodical 57-0 shutout victory over St. Vincent on Saturday afternoon at Jopson Field.
Bridgewater's 57-point victory marks the largest margin of victory in a season opener in program history. The Eagles' 57 points also marks the program's highest scoring output in a season opener.
Following a three-and-out from both teams to open the game, Bridgewater used a balanced offensive attack to bull into Bearcats territory before the drive stalled at the St. Vincent 22. Sophomore Chandler DeHaven split the uprights from 39 yards out to give the Eagles a 3-0 lead with 9:35 left on the first quarter clock.
The Bearcats again went three and out on their ensuing possession before the Eagles added seven more points to the scoreboard off of a Willie Logan three-yard quarterback keeper to extend the Bridgewater advantage to 10-0. Logan connected with senior Cassidy Burns on a 40-yard pass to get deep into Bearcats territory before taking the ball in himself three plays later.
After moving the ball inside the Bearcats redzone at the end of the first quarter, the Eagles needed just four plays in the second stanza to push their lead to 17. St. Vincent forced the Eagles into a fourth-and-goal from the one and a half yard line before junior Jacob Wrightforced his way across the goal line with 13:09 left in the first half to build the Bridgewater lead to 17-0.
The Bridgewater defense kept the St. Vincent offense from moving into Eagles territory on the next drive before using a short three-play drive to add an insurance score. Following a pair of short carries from Wright, Logan sprinted to the endzone from 34 yards out to put the Eagles out in front 24-0 midway through the second frame.
Both teams traded possessions over the next nine minutes before the Bearcats took over on their own nine with under a minute to play in the first half. St. Vincent moved the ball to its own 35 before Borgen had the ball jarred loose by defensive end Kenneth Szabo. Szabo scooped the ball off of the turf and danced 30 yards to the house to put Bridgewater out in front by a 31-0 tally.
Bridgewater recovered another fumble on the final play of the first half as the Eagles defense helped lead the team to a 31-0 advantage at the intermission.
Out of the halftime break, the Bridgewater defense picked up right where it left off. On the second play of the half, senior linebacker Andrew Palmer stepped in front of an Andy Borgen pass and returned the interception to the Bearcats 25 to give the Eagles good field position to start the second half.
The Eagles wasted little time in cashing in on the turnover as Logan hooked up with seniorShawn Lee on a 25-yard pattern to build the Bridgewater advantage to 38-0.
St. Vincent saw its next drive stall out in Bearcats territory before the Eagles effectively put the nail in the coffin with a five-play, 61-yard scoring drive. Back-to-back Jordan Hartman runs got the Eagles into St. Vincent territory before Logan capped off his day with his second touchdown pass of the afternoon, this time a 42-yard strike to Burns to put the Eagles up by a 45-0 tally with 7:53 left in the third.
After both teams traded possessions, the Bearcats approached midfield before being forced to punt the ball away. The Eagles muffed the ensuing punt and St. Vincent recovered to get deep inside Bridgewater territory. The Bearcats looked to catch the Eagles sleeping on a double reverse, but defensive back Daryus Beale read the play perfectly and jarred the ball loose in the backfield and sprinted 69 yards to the endzone for the second defensive touchdown of the day, extending the Bridgewater lead to 51-0 at the end of the third frame.
St. Vincent held the ball for nearly 11 minutes in the third quarter, but it was Bridgewater tallying 20 points during the frame to run away from the Bearcats.
The Bearcats used a big kick return to get inside the Bridgewater five to open the fourth quarter before the Eagles defense got a big hold on third and goal to force a St. Vincent field goal attempt. Morgan Porter's 21-yard chip shot was blocked by Wright as the Eagles kept the shutout in tact early in the fourth.
Sophomore quarterback Ross Rushing led the Bridgewater offense on a methodical eight play drive early in the fourth quarter to finalize the scoring. Rushing connected on a pair of passes during the drive before Hartman got to the St. Vincent one-yard line on a 46-yard carry to set the Eagles up for the final score of the day. Freshman Warner Hunter, IV stormed in from a yard out to cap off the scoring at a 57-0 Bridgewater advantage which is how things would end.
Wright sprinted for 79 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries to lead a Bridgewater rushing attack that ran for 244 yards on the afternoon. Hartman added 75 yards on nine runs, while Logan chipped in an additional 38 yards and two touchdowns on a trio of carries.
Through the air, Logan was efficient connecting on 10-of-16 passes for 163 yards and two scores. Overall, Logan played a role in four touchdowns and amassed over 200 yards of total offense.
Burns led all receivers with two catches for 82 yards and a score.
Defensively, the Eagles stifled St. Vincent all day long. Palmer led the Eagles with nine tackles including one tackle for a loss. The senior also recorded an interception. Daniel Brent chipped in six tackles and a forced fumble, while Beale led the way with four solo tackles, including one for a loss, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a score. Overall, the Eagles defense limited St. Vincent to just 181 yards on the day and a paltry 2-of-13 performance on third downs. Bridgewater forced four St. Vincent miscues on the day.
St. Vincent was paced on the ground by a 43-yard afternoon from Ryan Crawford.
Borgen was 8-of-13 passing for 63 yards, while Chace Ginyard hauled in four passes for a team-high 38 yards.
Defensively, Nick Revis led the way with eight tackles.
The win was Bridgewater's eighth straight to open a season and marks the first victory for the Eagles on the turf field of the newly renovated Jopson Athletic Complex.
Bridgewater is back in action on Saturday when it travels to Greensboro for a showdown with the Pride. Kick off from Grimsley High School is set for 1 p.m.

Silfverberg beats Brodeur in shootout, Bishop makes 30 saves as Senators top Devils 2-1NHL.com @NHLdotcom
NEWARK, N.J. - Jakob Silfverberg beat Martin Brodeur to his stick side in the shootout and goalie Ben Bishop turned aside 30 shots for his first victory of the season, giving the Ottawa Senators a 2-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils on Monday.
Silfverberg, who assisted on the Senators' regulation goal, skated in on Brodeur in the shootout and fired a right-handed wrist shot that caught the NHL's all-time wins leader by surprise. When Bishop stopped former Senator Bobby Butler on the Devils' third shootout attempt, Ottawa (8-6-2) had its third road win of the season.
Ilya Kovalchuk and Patrik Elias were both stopped by Bishop in the shootout as the Devils (9-3-4) lost their second straight.
Stephen Gionta scored his second goal of the season in the opening minutes of the game, but the Devils were silenced the rest of the way by Bishop.
Daniel Alfredsson scored for Ottawa in the third period, tying the game at 1 with 11:48 remaining on his 420th career goal.
Brodeur made 29 saves for the Devils.
New Jersey entered overtime down a man, but managed to kill the power-play chance. Alfredsson had the lone shot on Brodeur during the power play, a shot Brodeur smothered, sending the game to the shootout.
The Devils controlled the action early on, collecting 17 shots in the first, their highest total for one period this season.
Just 1:19 into the game, Steve Bernier's wrist shot was stopped by Bishop, but Gionta alertly jumped all over the rebound for his second goal of the season when he slid the puck between Bishop's pads for a 1-0 lead.
The Senators had the better of play in the second period, as well as the scoring chances.
Eric Gryba's shot with 11:23 left in the second was initially stopped by Brodeur, but it trickled behind him and was pushed aside just before it reached the goal line.
With 10 minutes left, Silfverberg's slap shot clanked off the post as it went by Brodeur. Just 15 seconds later, Silfverberg's shot was stopped by Brodeur, but he didn't know where it was.
The Devils went almost 10 minutes of the second period without a shot before Senators right wing Chris Neil was sent off for slashing. Marek Zidlicky's slap shot from the point was stopped by Bishop, but broke the shot drought. The Devils had only four shots on goal in the second.
The Devils had a good stint in the third period when Patrik Elias, Alexei Ponikorovsky and Ilya Kovalchuk had solid shots against Bishop, who started for only the third time this season.
The Senators' relentless pressure paid off when 40-year-old captain Alfredsson lifted a backhand over a diving Brodeur to tie the game. The 17-year veteran, who has four goals this season, is the Ottawa's all-time leading scorer with 1,090 points (420 goals, 670 assists).
It was the first time the Senators scored since they lost All-Star defenceman Erik Karlsson to a season-ending Achilles tendon injury last Friday.
NOTES: Devils D Mark Fayne, who had two giveaways that led to goals in New Jersey's 5-3 win over Philadelphia, was a healthy scratch for a second straight game. ... Devils rookie F Stefan Matteau was a healthy scratch for a third straight contest. ... The Devils recalled C Andrei Loktionov from Albany (AHL) and sent struggling C Jacob Josefson back to Albany. Josefson had only one assist in 15 games this season. ... When Loktionov was with the Los Angeles Kings, his roommate was Alexei Ponikorovsky, who was recently re-acquired by the Devils. ... The Devils lost LW Ryan Carter to an upper-body injury when he was sandwiched into the boards by Ottawa's Chris Neil and Dave Dziurzynski in the second period. Carter did not return. ... Devils RW Bobby Butler faced his former team for the first time. ... Senators LW Milan Michalek has a sprained knee and was a scratch for the third straight game. Michalek is joined on the Senators' injury list by All-Stars Jason Spezza (back) and defending Norris Trophy winner Erik Karlsson (Achilles tendon surgery).

Investigating Americanness

|• William Carlos Williams
William Carlos Williams
Many of the most prominent American modernist writers—T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, and Ezra Pound—chose self-exile, creating salons and movements far from home in the cosmopolitan capitals of Europe. But some chose to stay in the United States, and among them William Carlos Williams stands out as a major modernist who made the idea of "America" a central part of his aesthetic project. Though Williams found great inspiration in the disruptive poetic and artistic energy coming from Europe, he believed deeply in articulating a uniquely American avant-garde.
A practicing physician in New Jersey, Williams's experiences as a small-town doctor provided a lifetime familiarity with racially diverse, immigrant, working- and middle-class patients. Drawing on the rhythms and expressive language of these Americans, Williams sought to craft a new poetic language.
Williams was already writing in high school, but it was at the University of Pennsylvania that he began to truly thrive as a poet. There, he became friends with fellow students Ezra Pound and Hilda Doolittle; his intense and rocky friendship with Pound was to last through their lifetimes. Pound helped Williams leave behind the careful, imitative verse he had learned to write in school.
As a mature poet Williams, like Pound, emphasized the importance of "the new." But where Pound sought innovation among European contemporaries and in revived poetic traditions, Williams sought it in the democratic ideal of America: a place of self-invention, rugged struggle, and most importantly, the clean slate of a fresh, young language freed from Europe's aging social hierarchies.
A year after Eliot published The Waste Land, Williams published his own long poem, Spring and All. Both works are discontinuous, difficult, virtuoso performances. But where Eliot immersed the reader in tradition and history, Williams stripped language down to a plain idiom, producing a work intended as distinctly "American." Like Pound's desire to "make it new," Williams emphasized fresh starts with the language of rebirth, filling his poem with images of New Jersey farmlands awakening after winter.
But while spring is hopeful by nature, Williams always emphasizes that it is followed by another winter. All moments of innovation are only moments. All must ultimately fail, overcome by the power of convention and tradition. It is the continual struggle for spring—for freedom—that matters, and that define for Williams the American consciousness.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - It may be a conversation some have waited to have with their parents or spouse. Or it could be something they are worried about concerning themselves: When is someone too old to drive?
It's a touchy subject, and as the population ages, it's only going to become more common.
While some age gracefully, there are just some things Basil Watts said can't be avoided. That's why he and his family made the decision to take away his mother's car when she got too old.
"They get old. I mean, that's life. Driving is just a privilege, it's not a right," Watts said.
His family took her mother's driving privilege away, but the state is now stepping in more often to do so when the family hasn't or can't.
Some Florida state figures show some interesting points.
The number of Florida residents who've had their drivers licenses revoked because they are deemed physically or mentally unfit has more than doubled in the last decade. The main explanation are medical conditions related to age, such as dementia, stroke and seizures.
There was recently an accident that killed two fruit stand owners on Jacksonville's Westside in which an elderly driver's health concerns are suspected as the cause.
To avoid situations like that, state officials are promoting a longstanding, but little-known Florida law that allows anyone to notify the state about motorists with physical or mental conditions that might affect their driving.
The reports are confidential, so families can avoid that awkward conversation.
Linda Levins, of ElderSource, says it might be a good decision and easier than a sit-down talk, but it's a big one, and so this topic will always have to be handled gently.
"There's a lot wrapped up in having a drivers license, in terms of identity and dignity," Levins said.
In addition to other health issues, Florida now requires drivers age 80 and older to have their eyes tested every six years. Since 2004, nearly 7,000 licenses have been revoked based on those vision tests.

Our Take
from the Cars.com expert editorial team
During my week in the 2013 Volkswagen CC, I woke up each morning anxiously anticipating my normally mundane morning driving tasks.
This sporty, sexy, coupe-styled vehicle with sedanlike functionality was quite practical in both its usage and its budget. It's like getting Brad Pitt for the price of Carrot Top.
The CC has been redesigned for 2013, giving it an even more dramatic, swooping look, and adding a center rear seating position. Check out the differences between the 2012 and 2013 model years here.
If you're in the market for a top-of-the-line stylish ride like the CC, you may also be interested in similar body-type cars like the Acura TSX, Buick Regal or Nissan Maxima. Compare them all side by side here.
The CC comes in six trim levels, including the 2.0T Sport, the 2.0T R-Line, the 2.0T Sport Plus, the 2.0T Lux, the 3.6L VR6 Lux and the 3.6L VR6 4Motion Executive, in which "4Motion" means all-wheel drive. All other CCs have front-wheel drive. I drove a middle-of-the-road R-Line with a manual transmission. The R-Line and the Volkswagen CC Sport come with a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic. The others come with the automatic only. Compare the trim levels here.
Exterior & Styling
The 2013 VW CC was restyled for 2013 to look faster and sexier, even when parked. With reworked front and rear ends this year, the Volkswagen CC has long, sweeping, simple lines and a shape that reminds me of the significantly more expensive Mercedes C...

Exterior & Styling
The 2013 VW CC was restyled for 2013 to look faster and sexier, even when parked. With reworked front and rear ends this year, the Volkswagen CC has long, sweeping, simple lines and a shape that reminds me of the significantly more expensive Mercedes CLS.
The CC R-Line I drove has an even more aggressive look, which VW accomplished by lowering the front air intake and adding larger, 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels. The slightly more masculine impression is balanced out with flirty, cat-eye, Audi-like bi-xenon headlights, which turn up to 15 degrees around corners to keep a keen eye out during nighttime driving. The LED daytime running lights are strategically integrated and add just enough bling without overdoing it.
How It Drives
The coupe-like Volkswagen CC feels light and fun and easy to drive. The R-Line's 200-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine has enough grunt down low to tool confidently around town. Once the turbo kicks in, it picks up almost instantaneously and wants to fly down the road. On more than one occasion, I found myself getting a little too cozy with the speed limit, just enjoying the surge. The engine feels smooth and silky and seems to supply endless power, even at more than 6,000 feet above sea level, where I live. Anyone who wants more power can opt for a 3.6L version, whose 3.6-liter V-6 produces 280 hp.
The CC felt tight and in control when negotiating twisty mountain roads, yet was very drivable on the highway for regular commuting. The six-speed manual transmission combines plenty of torquey, low-speed options with comfortable long-distance cruising gears. This is a car that could easily be driven every day for extended periods without the driver getting fatigued, but that could also fulfill the task of a fun afternoon drive, exploring the full range of its handling and acceleration.
The Volkswagen CC's cabin was fairly quiet on the road. Tire noise was tolerable, and while I found the turbo's whine slightly irritating, my husband said it sounded "cool." (But, then again, he says "tomahto.") The steering is light and has a tight-feeling 37.4-foot turning circle (which is right on par with both the Regal and Maxima), especially handy when maneuvering around a grocery-store parking lot, yet at speed it feels secure and well connected to the road.
The manual CC R-Line's EPA-estimated 21/32/25 mpg city/highway/combined isn't going to win any tree-hugger awards, but at least you have the power and excitement of the turbo acceleration on demand to show for it. These numbers drop even further in the V-6-powered CC VR6 with all-wheel drive, to 17/25/20 mpg.
The Volkswagen CC's interior was comfortable for almost everyone in our family and felt more upscale than its $32,000 as-tested price tag would lead you to believe. While some interiors in this price range look like they're trying too hard, the CC R-Line, with its contoured black leatherette (imitation leather that Volkswagen calls V-Tex) seating surfaces with contrast stitching and brushed metal trim, seemed comfortable and balanced.
The front two seats were easily accessible, even for my 6-foot, 2-inch husband. However, our three kids (ages 9, 11 and 13) had a slightly tougher time getting into the backseat, especially our taller 13-year-old. They were inclined to swing the back doors open all the way, often not aware they were inches from dinging a car door next to us. This is one price you pay for a stylized, sweeping, lower roofline with large doors. The steering wheel is wrapped in leather and felt soft in my hands while still offering adequate grip. The power-adjustable front seats allowed for a customized fit for both my 5-foot, 3-inch frame and for my tall husband, who really appreciated the significant range of the height adjustment. Head restraints that adjust not only up and down but also back and forth add to the customized feel.
The sloping roofline felt a little caved in and claustrophobic to me, a situation that would definitely be remedied visually by a moonroof. The lower trim levels don't have a moonroof, but one is included in the 2.0T Lux as well as in the VR6 Executive.
While legroom in back is slightly limited, there was enough space for all three of my kids, though they were definitely packed in. It's nice to have a center rear seat (where in previous model years there had been a console), but the seat is incredibly narrow — so much so that my 13-year-old had to sit perched with one cheek on each of the side seat-belt buckles.
The kids did appreciate the air vents in the back, which allowed them to direct cool air directly at themselves during our unseasonably hot late summer in Colorado.
I wouldn't suggest much more than quick errands and weekend jaunts for a family of five in the CC. Leave longer trips to the true family sedans, like VW's Passat, and instead take the CC out without the kids for date night.
Ergonomics & Electronics
The CC's controls are simple, with a comfortable blend of both touch-screen technology and good old-fashioned knobs for those who prefer a more tactile experience.
The old-school analog clock in the middle of the dashboard meant I always knew what time it was, even when I turned off the main control screen to achieve the zen of less digitization.
The traditional speedometer and tachometer dials in the instrument cluster are large and clear, and key data appears on a display between them.
The Volkswagen CC R-Line's Bluetooth telephone connectivity was easy to pair and worked seamlessly. The stereo system was clear and met with the approval of my teenage daughter. Apparently she thinks she's the gold standard when it comes to judging audio system quality. She did get a pair of Beats by Dre headphones for her birthday, so she must be an expert.
My other kids, however, were a little perturbed that Bluetooth streaming audio was not included in our test Volkswagen, which meant that I finally got to be the master of the iPhone playlists, with my phone tethered up front to the aux jack just below the touch-screen.
All the buttons on the radio/navigation control in the CC are close at hand for the driver, with the buttons that are used most often, like audio volume or air flow adjustment, within a quick glance or feel and an easy reach. The controls on the steering wheel are well positioned and easy to find by feel, without having to adjust my hand position on the wheel or take my eyes off the road.
Too often, car companies add technology for the sake of seeming cool and trendy, resulting in the driver having to click three or four times to access the simplest of commands. To the contrary, Volkswagen seems to have hit a comfortable balance with the CC, between just enough technology for those who want it, and not too much for those who don't.
On the flip side, the front-most cupholder inhibited gearshift access. I found my arm inadvertently hitting a medium-sized cup in the cupholder when trying to change gears. My drinks quickly were relegated to the rear of the two cupholders, with small items like lip gloss and my phone taking up the front one.
I was also, on occasion, a little frustrated by the electronic parking brake. I could never remember if I was supposed to push or pull the button to engage the brake, and it was also a little difficult to tell when the brake was engaged. Sometimes I could feel a slight grab of the brake pedal, indicating it was engaged, but depending upon the shoes I was wearing, this wasn't always the case. I couldn't rely upon the indicator lights on the brake button or the instrument cluster because in certain glare conditions they were impossible to see.
Cargo & Storage
Storage and cargo space are definitely an issue with the CC. While the car's sloping teardrop shape is beautiful to look at, it does limit practicality. The trunk is deep but the opening is very limited, making large, bulky containers hard to fit in. For regular suitcases, shopping bags, golf clubs, etc., there's ample space, but with three girls, it seemed like we were forever (unsuccessfully) trying to squeeze an oddly shaped school project or similar item into the trunk.
The cute yet practical and innovative trunk release hidden within the Volkswagen logo is also very well thought-out. It's a functional way to open the cargo area without cluttering up the look of the exterior.
The 2013 VW CC sedan is a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It received the institute's highest rating of Good in the moderate overlap front crash test, the side crash test, the roof strength test, and the head restraint and seat test. In the institute's new small-overlap front test, however, the CC received a rating of Marginal (on a scale of Good, Acceptable, Marginal and Poor).
Of the 11 models in the institute's midsize luxury/near-luxury car class subjected to the small-overlap test, only two scored Good. Two scored Acceptable, four scored Marginal and three scored Poor.
I was disappointed not to see a backup camera or blind spot monitoring system on the 2013 CC R-Line (a backup camera with front and rear park assist sensors is available only on the VR6 executive as standard equipment), though VW says the R-Line will offer the camera for 2014. These are two safety features that have become must-haves for me, and invaluable in protecting my family by aiding in accident prevention.
While the lower Latch child-safety seat anchors were open and visible, the stiff leatherette seating surfaces surrounding the anchors made them difficult to use with the rigid Latch system on my daughters' Cleck Olli booster seats. It took me several attempts of pressing my body weight into the seat before I could get the latches to click. The sloping rear roofline of the CC may be a challenge for older and bigger kids in booster seats. While my 11-year-old daughter still needed a booster seat in the CC in order to obtain proper seat belt fit, it raised her up so high she almost hit her head on the ceiling.

Buster Posey: When we look back on Posey's 2011 season, this will inevitably be what we remember. Posey only played in 45 games before the collision, but it's worth noting that he had quite the impact (considering how few games he played in). Despite not even tallying 200 plate appearances, he finished third on the team in wins above replacement at 1.6; we can't take too much from his overall numbers (.284/.368/.389), but he showed an improved walk rate (and much less power) when he was healthy. Ideally, the power will come back next season, and Posey will continue to draw more walks. In any event, 2011 for Posey will always ultimately be defined by the Cousins collision.
Hector Sanchez: There's not much to be said for Sanchez's time in the majors because it didn't last all that long. He appeared in a total of 13 games this year, posting a .258/.324/.323 line in 34 plate appearances. Obviously those numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, but as a prospect, Sanchez certainly boosted his status. I ranked him sixth in my prospect rankings (an admittedly aggressive placement).
Eli Whiteside: After taking a regular role in the wake of Posey's injury, Whiteside was everything the Giants could have expected — which is to say that he was awful. In 236 plate appearances, he hit .197/.264/.310, posting a wRC+ of 55. His defense, too, was pretty awful. Fangraphs had him at slightly above replacement level on the season, while Baseball-Reference had him at -0.5 wins.
This was pretty awesome though. As was his hopping.
Chris Stewart: Stewart proved to be the better of the two (Whiteside/Stewart) as he was actually an asset on defense. Defensive runs saved is an oversimplified evaluation of catcher defense, but it had Stewart at +9 runs above average in ~500 innings of work behind the plate. Matt Klaasen's more all-encompassing catcher defense ratings had Stewart at +3.2 runs (also quite good). In any event, he — like Whiteside — failed to be productive on offense, putting up a .204/.283/.309 line. For what it's worth though, he had pretty solid plate discipline (0.89 BB/K) and good contact skills (89%); unfortunately, it just didn't translate into success for him.

You have to wonder what kind of a fine that Cornell head coach Mike Schafer will garner after his postgame comments on the WCHA Officials. I think the WCHA would be well served to move on.
"I'm looking at the sheet now, and we're the ones that were assessed all the penalties," said Schafer. "You're supposed to hold your guys at the end of the game. That obviously didn't happen. It's just really disappointing on the calls. … It's disgusting. That's all you can say. I won't come back to the WCHA."
Here is the link to the video of the postgame comments by coach Schafer.
I wonder if Cornell will play against the NCHC teams in their home buildings? I hope they do, they're a great college hockey program with a great hockey history and they have a fired up fan base as well.
You know Mike, I have to agree that there is some horrible officiating in the WCHA over the last 3-5, in my opinion I have seen examples of absolutely brutal officiating. Being armed with a new DVR+ recorder, I am going to give examples that I see along the way as well. The quality of officiating has to be addressed in college hockey.
The fans and the players deserved better. In looking at the box score from the game I have never heard of these two guys, Chris Perrault, Johnathan Morrison.
So what do you think of Schafer's comments? Do you think he is out of line?

Sir Bradley Wiggins nearly quit last year's Tour de France as he felt like "[Chris] Froome had stabbed him in the back," according to former Sky sports Team Director Sean Yates.
In his autobiography released today, Yates, who quit Sky 11 months ago, claims Wiggins was close to walking out of the Tour due to the aggressive manner in which team-mate Chris Froome rode during parts of last year's race.
"Wiggins wrote a text from his hotel room which read: "I think it would be better for everyone if I went home, " says Yates in his new book, titled It's All About The Bike.
Yates says that the team had a plan that Froome, who played second-fiddle throughout the Tour which Wiggins went on to win, would attack 500m from the end of the mountainous La Toussuire stage.
But Froome kept asking to go a lot earlier, which annoyed his fellow rider to the extent that he considered quitting the Tour after the 11th stage.
Yates and Sir Dave Brailsford, team principal at the time, then had to convince Wiggins to stay on, but he admitted that the eventual Tour winner felt betrayed by his team-mate's actions.
Yates claims that Brailsford failed to speak to Froome afterwards because he had a "dislike of confrontation."
The 53-year old also describes in his book how in the latter stages of his own professional cycling career, he forged a tight friendship with Lance Armstrong - something that has led to allegations that Yates himself was involved in doping during some part of his life.
It is for this reason that Yates left Team Sky last year, but the official announcement only came after a Sunday newspaper claimed he was leaving as part of an anti-doping cull. Yates strenuously denied ever being involved in doping during a career that saw him win a stage of the Tour, and he remains one of only six British riders to have led the famous race.
