Quick Tech Safety - Simpson's latest HNR is small, unobtrusive and ridiculously comfortable
Simpson's newest head-and-neck restraint is the Hybrid Pro Slide. Engineered by Trevor Ashline with Safety Solutions Technology, the restraint has gained SFI 38.1 certification along with approval from both NASCAR and FIA. Ashline developed the Hybrid Pro Slide through extensive testing combining the patented Seatbelt Anchor System and the patent pending Side Stabilizing Gusset. The design minimizes the size giving you the first device not requiring seat modification. It's constructed out of high-quality, carbon fiber, making it incredibly light, weighing in it at a mere 2 pounds. The weight coupled with its minimalistic design and compact size (it's just under 7 inches), means that you barely notice it when you're sitting in the car. We also liked the fact that the Hybrid Pro Slide allows you to move your head from side to side thanks to the tether system's design.
That's all well and good, but we had to take one for a testdrive to see for ourselves. Now we at Circle Track have tested just about every HNR out there and were anxious to try this one out. So on a recent test session out West, we donned the Hybrid Pro Slide and climbed into the car. One of the first things you will recognize is how easy you can get in and out of the race car with one of these one. The low profile design doesn't get caught on rollbars, full containments seats, or other obstructions in the cockpit. The second thing you'll notice are the bright yellow release cords that allow you to pull the safety pins out of the anchors. This is especially handy if you're involved in an incident where you need to exit the vehicle quickly. Just yank on the release cords while nodding your head forward and you will be free from the anchors, allowing you to easily look down at your belts to release them. With all of that said, the most noticeable thing about the new Hybrid Pro Slide is that, well, you don't actually notice it. Strapped in the race car, you will not realize that you have it on. It's easily one of the most comfortable head-and-neck restraints we have ever worn.
Custom sizing is available and if your helmet is currently fitted for a HANS Device you can easily upgrade to a Simpson Head-and-Neck Restraint—Simpson hardware corresponds to the same location. It's also available with optional dual-end fitting tether. The Hybrid Pro Slide carries an M.S.R.P. of $995, money well spent to save your neck.

This is the first Tibetan-to-English verb resource to be published in more than thirty years. It is a verb dictionary containing extensive lexical information. Much more than a mere translation of existing works, this lexicon was compiled employing statistical techniques and data, and draws on sources spanning the 1,200 years of Tibet's classical literature and covering all major lineages. The lexicon contains over 1,700 root verb forms and phrasal verb subentries and incorporates a wide range of information not previously available in dictionary form. The individual entries are in Tibetan script and contain English meanings, Sanskrit equivalents, complete sentences drawn from the corpus of Tibetan classical literature, and related sentence structure information. An extensive introduction to contemporary linguistic theory as applied to Tibetan verbs presents the theoretical underpinnings of the lexicon.
News & Reviews
"A much-needed new contribution to the general body of materials for the study of the Literary Tibetan language. Students, linguists, and translators will all find this detailed treatment of Tibetan verb usage, and particularly the lexicon itself, to be an invaluable resource for many years to come. Sophisticated work on the Tibetan language is long overdue and Hackett should be congratulated for this valuable offering." —Himalaya: The Journal of the Association of Nepal and Himalayan Studies

Luxury Retail Brands to Avoid in 2013
Some luxury retailers find themselves in a difficult position in 2013 after strategy missteps that have left them with less revenue, lower profits, and fewer shoppers. MarketWatch's Christopher Noble discusses which luxury brands to avoid. (Photo: AP)

Chester (Nova Scotia)
Chester is a village in Nova Scotia founded in 1759 during the French and Indian War. It played host to several historically important instances during the American Revolution (see: Rouge Ruse) and the War of 1812. Today, because of its stunning location on the St.Margaret's Bay, the village is a vacation and resort destination and so has a large number of businesses which operate on a seasonal basis.
Get in[edit]
Chester is situated about 65 km southwest of Halifax in Nova Scotia's South Shore region. The most efficient way to reach Chester, and Chester Basin is by Car. Rental cars are available at the Halifax International Airport or from many locations in Halifax or Dartmouth. If you are driving to Chester, you can either take Highway 103 south from Halifax, which will mean about a 45 minute drive to reach Chester (Exit number 8). The alternative is to take the much more scenic St. Margaret's Bay Road, which follows the coastline and passes through beautiful seaside towns like Hubbards on it's winding route to Chester. As you can imagine, this route is a bit longer (plan for at least an hour and a half), but the payoff is some of the most spectacular vistas you can find in Nova Scotia as you wind along the south shore of the province.
If you don't have a car, another alternative is the Acadian lines bus service that leaves from Halifax along the South Shore of Nova Scotia Daily (Booking inquiries: 1-800-567-5151).
Get around[edit]
Without a car your options will be seriously limited in Chester. This small village does not have an existing form of public transport.
If you are really in a pinch to get somewhere and you don't have a car (or a friend to call), then there is a taxi service that operates a few cabs in the south shore of Nova Scotia (South Shore Taxi - 1 902 277 2727). Be aware that there are a limited number of available cars and book ahead.
See[edit][add listing]
The main draw in Chester is of course the views of the beautiful St. Margaret's Bay. This island dotted cove is a nautical dream, and when in the village of Chester, you will never be more then a short distance from a viewpoint overlooking the ocean.
Other than this obvious draw there are many other hidden gems to be found. In the center of town there is a very nice little theatre, the Chester Playhouse. Located on the aptly named Pleasant Street, the playhouse often runs local small budget productions by local artists throughout the summer. You can check the website for more information (Chester Playhouse[5]). A short drive (10mins) outside Chester to the north, you can also find Graves Island. The island is connected to the mainland via a driving bridge. Once there you can wander freely and enjoy the calm serenity and scenery on this island park.
Finally, the ocean views may be what attract visitors to Chester, but it's the coastal charm that keeps them coming back. Take time to walk the streets and look at the beautiful Cape Cod style houses, many of which are protected historic properties dating to the 19th century.
Do[edit][add listing]
This villiage is really made for relaxing strolls and lazy afternoons. But if you feel like you need to plan some activities, there are plenty of options:
There are of course plenty of other things to do in town, and with a little research you will be able to plan a relaxing, fun, and maybe even adventurous holiday.
Buy[edit][add listing]
You will find plenty of your standard nautical novelty souvenirs in Chester, as you will in any of the towns that dot the South Shore. However, if you have a little extra to spend, and want to get something special, look to some of the local artists making hand made crafts. Some of the more notable options are found along Pleasant and Duke Streets. The Valverde Studio Gallery[6], Chez Glass Lass, and Light my Fire studio have all become particular favorites of visiting tourists.
Eat[edit][add listing]
There are plenty of great places to eat in Chester, and if you were so inclined, you could certainly pass a vacation sampling the different restaurants, pubs, bakeries, and cafes the villiage has on offer. A few that should not be passed up are:
Drink[edit][add listing]
Like any small town in Nova Scotia, Chester has a few watering holes available to the weary traveller and friendly local alike.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
There are plenty of options to stay in Chester, the best being at one of the plethora of B&Bs that dot the area. They are long on charm, and will not stretch your budget too badly. Some other options however, include:
The Chester and Area Visitor Information Center is located on 20 Smith Road in Chester, in a converted ralway station. The staff there can provide you with information on events and attractions in the area.
Get out[edit]
It is recommended that anyone visiting Chester plans to take a few drives and visit some of the other towns along the South Shore. Some of the higlights of any such trip would include the beautiful rocky coastlines of Peggys Cove, The UNESCO world heritage village of Lunenburg, or the quaint small town of Liverpool
If you are leaving by plane from the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, then it is recommended that you budget an hour and a half for the drive from Chester to the airport. And although traffic is not generally much of a concern, the morning rush (from 7-9am on weekdays) can sometimes slow traffic on highway 103 between Tantallon and Halifax.

Brown Headlines Singles Effort, Two Doubles Teams Make Finals
PRINCETON, N.J. – The Yale men's tennis team once again displayed its singles and doubles talent on Saturday at the Princeton-Farnsworth Invitational. Freshman Jason Brown led the Elis in singles play by making the final of his draw, while five other Bulldogs enjoyed singles victories. In a near replication of Friday's doubles success, the Bulldogs won all but two doubles matches.
The story of the day for Yale was Brown, a freshman making his college tennis debut. He made the final of the Jadwin singles draw in dominant fashion by defeating Dan Davies of Princeton 6-0, 6-4 in the semifinals. He will play Columbia's Eric Rubin in the final Sunday.
Junior Kyle Dawson, who was the other Yale player in the semifinals of a singles main draw, was unable to overcome Penn's Blaine Willenborg after losing a very close first set, and was knocked out of the Lenz Draw, 7-6(4), 6-1. Senior Zachary Dean, who was also still alive in main draw singles at the end of Friday's play, lost his quarterfinal match against Florin Radu of Princeton, 7-5, 6-3. Dean, however, was one of five Bulldogs who defeated a Farleigh Dickinson player in a draw created for players who had lost in their second main draw singles match. Dean rolled in his match against Markus Sjoberg, winning 6-2, 6-0. Sophomore Matt Saiontz overcame Peter Svarka in two tight sets, 7-6(3), 6-4, while his classmate, Daniel Faierman, beat Julien Philippe 6-4, 6-0. Brown's fellow freshman, Martin Svenning, breezed past Dom Devaux-Lovell 6-0, 6-1. Finally, senior captain Daniel Hoffman beat Ibrahim Shams 6-4, 6-1.
Meanwhile, junior Patrick Chase lost his semifinal match in the Pagoda consolation draw to Georgetown's Shane Korber, but only after succumbing in a marathon second set. The final score was 6-2, 7-6(11). Chase, however, along with senior John Huang, had a terrific day in doubles. Playing in the 'A' doubles draw, the duo first defeated Buffalo's Damien Daniel and Ivan Vereschanga in the quarterfinals by a score of 8-1, and then followed up with a thrilling 9-8(3) semifinal upset victory over Princeton's No. 1 seeded team of Matt Siow and Matt Spindler. This Princeton tandem has a national preseason ranking of No. 36. Chase and Huang will challenge the team of Zack McCourt and Matija Pecotic, also of Princeton, in the final on Sunday. Elsewhere in the 'A' doubles draw, the all-senior team of Hoffman and Marc Powers was forced to withdraw before its quarterfinal match due to the injury that Powers sustained playing singles on Friday.
Yale doubles teams in the 'B' draw had mixed results. The tandem of Brown and Svenning, making its first college tennis appearance, dropped a close affair to Binghamton's Ruben Haggai and Robin Lesage, 9-7. The all-sophomore team of Faierman and Saiontz won its quarterfinal match against Penn's Vim de Alwis and Rob Wong, 8-6, but ultimately lost in the semifinals in yet another tight match to Columbia's pairing of Kyle Berman and Quoc-Daniel Nguyen, 9-7.
The strong Yale doubles effort was rounded out by the 'C' draw pairing of Dawson and Dean, who won two tense affairs to make the final. The Bulldogs first defeated Spencer Clark and Brett Cromwell of Cornell, 8-6, and then came through in their semifinal match against St. John's MJ Every and Valentin Mihai by a final score of 9-7. Dawson and Dean will take on Boston College's team of Kyle Childree and Matt Wagner in the final.
Sunday will be the final day of competition at Princeton's Lenz Tennis Center. Play will once again start at 9 a.m., with several Elis still very much in the mix. Brown will play in his final, while Dean, Faierman, Hoffman, Saiontz and Svenning will all be in action in the second-round loser singles consolation bracket. In doubles, the teams of Chase and Huang and Dawson and Dean will be looking to come out as the champions of their respective doubles draws.

The Andrews University Board of Trustees met today for the third time this month. At the end of their meeting, they released the following statement:
In its March 30 meeting, the Board of Trustees of Andrews University met and took two significant actions. First, the creation of the position of University Provost was voted, which is intended to function as the Chief Operations Officer of the University, focusing on day-to-day operations and execution of strategy. Second, the Board asked Dr. Niels-Erik Andreasen to continue his service to the University as President, and he agreed.
During the meeting, the board established the parameters for a search committee to fully define the responsibilities and roles of the provost position and to identify and interview candidates to be recommended by the President to the board.
With the two actions of today, the Board believes that the revised administrative structure will assist in achieving the mission and financial goals of Andrews University and will permit the President more time to focus on the global role of Andrews University and its relationship to its external constituencies.
We believe that this revised administrative structure will be a critical contribution to the institution's success in the future.
Other actions of the meeting included: approval of the 2006-2007 fiscal year budget and related employee benefits; employee appointments and transitions; the appointment of a new board committee-The President's Advisory Council for Institutional Development-- to guide the current advancement campaign of the university; as well as a review of the actions and discussions of the subcommittees of the board which met today and earlier this month.
Commenting on the day's action President Niels-Erik Andreasen said, "It's an honor to be able to continue to serve Andrews University at a time of transition and new directions. I'm pleased, in particular, to be part of a process that will help create a new Andrews for a new century - a process that will rely on the creativity, passion and strength of our teachers, staff, students and friends as we prepare to set forth towards a new and bold future."
Andrews University is the first college and University founded by the Seventh-day Adventist church. Originally established in 1874 in Battle Creek, Mich., the university has operated in Berrien Springs, Mich., since 1901. Currently, the university is enjoying its third highest enrollment in history with more than 3,000 undergraduate and graduate students. It's international student population makes Andrews the sixth most internationally diverse national university.

"After going steady comes marriage, if life is to proceed in an orderly fashion, and it generally does."–Mary McGee Williams, from "On Becoming a Woman"
"You know, you'd be much more attractive if you'd wear some make-up," he said on our first college date.
"You'd be much more attractive if you'd shut up," I thought.
That man, however, forever to be remembered by me as Sneezy Peevish, became the worst boyfriend I ever had. And that's saying something.
After we graduated from Penn State on the same day, I came home to Philadelphia and got a job and an apartment. Sneezy got a job and settled into his parents' house in Yonkers. If we were to continue seeing each other, it would have to be on weekends.
We worked out an alternating weekly visit plan, but on my swain's first visit to my Center City apartment, he saw something that sent him scampering back to Yonkers. "You got roaches, doll."
That left me to be the weekend traveler. After all, when a man truly loves a woman, he really doesn't mind making her schlep 200 miles to Yonkers every weekend.
Sneezy's mother had me sleep in a small, cold room over the garage. I made myself as small as possible under the thin blanket I was given, but I couldn't warm up.
If I wanted to be cold, lonely and unappreciated, I could have stayed home by myself.
"Good morning, Mrs. Peevish," I said dutifully at breakfast the next morning.
"Your teeth were chattering all night; I couldn't sleep," she said.
"Sorry, Mrs. Peevish, I was cold. Is the heat on in that room?"
"HEAT?" she bellowed. She was a bellower by nature. "HEAT! What's wrong with you? You have no BLOOD? It's not even ZERO in that room!"
"Not even zero…" I murmured.
I could tell that my visit was as welcome to Mrs. Peevish as rats at a picnic.
After breakfast, she told me in no uncertain terms that when I took something from the refrigerator, I was to put it back with the label facing forward. She also had the odd habit of following me around the house, grabbing the door knob of whatever door I had just walked through and closing it behind me. Perhaps she thought I was just another jar to be put away, label forward. She never told me what her label for me was, but I bet it wasn't the same nice one my mother used.
But hey, I'd seen "Cinderella." I could make this relationship work. Or could I?
One afternoon Sneezy and I were in the basement "listening to records" when I heard a clopping noise upstairs. The walls rattled. An ominous sound, as though a large animal had been turned loose upstairs. The animal had Mrs. Peevish's voice.
"Look at this mess. Doesn't anyone ever clean up after himself around here? Of course not, why should they? The Horse'll do it! "
I looked at Sneezy, but seemed oblivious to the noise overhead. I heard the animal move into the kitchen. Dishes clanked, cabinet doors slammed. Some awful force was on the move. Next, in the hallway, she opened the squeaky door to my room. "Ach,what a pig sty!"
She shut the door and moved to the bathroom. "No one ever hangs up towels around here! Okay, the Horse'll do it! Pronto!"
Her orthopedic horse shoes clomped gallop-a-trot down the basement stairs to fling the towels into the washing machine. "Sure, the Horse'll do the laundry. The Horse'll do everything!" That done, she ascended the stairs and settled down to scrubbing the bathtub, which no one was allowed to use because it would get dirty. Scrubbing calmed her. " Sneezy? Is your mother okay?"
"Yeah, she's like that sometimes."
"Who's 'the Horse?'"
"She calls herself 'the Horse' when she gets that way."
"Should we help her?"
"Nah. She'll be fine. Hey, don't touch the record!"
"Why? I thought you wanted to listen to it again."
"Don't EVER touch my records. Don't you know the oil from your skin will ruin them?"
He bought me white cotton record-handling gloves for Christmas.
For some reason, probably inertia, I went back to Sneezy's house for a few more years. I sort of hung around, waiting for a last straw, which was the day he said, "Can't you PLACE the keys on the counter rather than TOSS them?"
I gonged him. Enough was enough. Alone in the kitchen the day I left Yonkers for the last time, I took the bottles of allspice and cinnamon and switched them around so they were out of alphabetical order in the spice rack, and slowly with intent, I turned the jelly jar in the fridge so the label faced the back.
I mailed Sneezy a break-up letter which left him free to listen to uncontaminated records by himself, and leaving Mrs. Peevish to the (very clean) stables in her mind.

Re: Hey 3 rd ave hot shot
M is a really sweet guy though.
I'd like to have his input on the whole thing: sort of see what his point of view is.
If I see him next week at the upper launch, I'll ask.
Goodtimes: no offense here, but I was pumping my kite and going out when M gave you his 14 to try, and I was actually thinking that you were getting a little bit close to shore (like almost inside the cove) before tacking back out at every tack.
Other than that, I didn't see you do anything crazy that would need anybody to yell at you but I went out for 2 hours waaaaaaaayy upwind of anybody else so I have no clue what happened at the upper launch afterwards.
I'm pretty sure Ino and you could work it out whenever you see each other at the launch next time.

Re: Hey 3 rd ave hot shot
"M" doesn't stand for Mike unless that is a nickname since his real name isn't a common American name.
I'll say this last bit and let it stand there. I am on vacation and don't want to spend time checking this forum to defend myself. I am happy to discuss this in person if you wish and not trash each other on this forum.
My entire day of kiting was a pleasure other than when I was aggressively approached. INO I believe you think that you didn't see "M" give me a thumbs up BUT HE DID. I didn't pick the launch position as all I did was pick the kite up while he moved to position. I already admitted to my mistake of a "toss" not a THROW. Lets both admit that if you glanced away for a split second that you could have missed that. You came running to me from quite a distance and couldn't have the same visual that I did. I repeatedly apologized to "M" because of the toss.
All the other trashing is nothing but your emotions talking. That can be seen by anyone reading this without emotional involvement. I can appreciate your credentials and I will say I expected you to be an experienced kiter (even thought we don't know each other) when I wrote my reply. No inexperienced kiter would have come on that strong. I am glad to hear you admit that you have made your mistakes in the past. I doubt that anyone posted them on a forum though. I feel that unless someone is posing a safety hazard to others the issue should be between the kiter and the launcher to resolve. In this case I understand why you may have felt it to be a public nuisance, but again I stand by the facts that I stated. All the arrogance comments directed towards me are completely unfounded and contributed to your anger. BTW while I am only a 3rd year kiter I have credentials in many other areas that are impressive on any level, by anyones standards. So I do respect your credentials but you have to respect the common sense and intelligence of others before making judgements about them based upon your impression of what you believe you saw.
Ironically I also have a story about a guy who just last week gave me a total hot launch with a huge throw when I was not at all ready (at lower launch). It almost threw me hard. I had told a friend of mine that story just 3 days earlier. So believe me I get it! This is one additional reason why you really struck a nerve with me with all your accusations.
You know, there is a reason why the others chimed in on the forum making comments on how unbelievable your described behavior of me would have been. I personally have never seen such bad described behavior in kiting so it seemed so far out there that it seemed hard to accept. I personally was shocked by the way your mind played out this scenario making me such a bad guy.You ought to talk to others who know me to find out what kind of person I am. I will also make a point (upon my return) to have "M" tell his story to you. It will align perfectly with my statements, I am sure of that.
I appreciate and accept your apology. I have made my apologies to the person I affected directly. I always strive to be a safe kiter and I have had help from many friends helping me along with that.
You made statements about setting me straight and not being as kind the next time you saw me. You need to think about how you expected me to receive that. It looks like we both have some things to learn!
Re: Hey 3 rd ave hot shot
Hey good times It s all good man, if you still believe that you tossed the kite and that is not a Throw, We're all good . There is nothing I can do to try to have you understand my point. I give up on this subject, I should know my limits.
There are way better experienced kiters than a visitor like me to 3rd , I'm sure they ll handle it better than my Emotional response.
Enjoy your holiday.
I don't think you should chime in if you don't know who it is.

btw; anyone thinking Rickert (c-c) will want to join the new hawks? I dont think he will resent Griffith , even though he was so mad at him. Griffith will talk about how "the world is a better place now , (even though I kind of damned the other 6 other billion people on this planet lulz.) " and Rickert will argue but in the end he will say "...I see." and walk away.
I kind of meant , Griffith will offer him a place with the Falcons. I should have written it like that in the first place. But I still think he will accept ,
Rickert could be our .. umm I dont really know how to call it but I guess he will be our "view angle" for Falconia / the Band of the Falcon.
I'd like to see something really surprising... Think, apostle Rickert...
Berserk isn't really "dark fantasy" either. It's plain fantasy
Miura has been very protective of Berserk
Oh god I don't think I can take the ominous black dome much longer. What the heck is it!
It's funny to see Erica talk about her father's inventions, and see Daiba and Luca doubt the usefulness of a sword that's bigger than its wielder. I imagine the unseen panels has them connect the dots and realize Guts is the one wielding said sword.
Oh and YA has a disclaimer saying "Berserk is published irregularly". Thanks for telling us, we hadn't noticed.

"Finding rhymes is hard for diseases"
Tom Waits:
This project that they're doing in England…I don't know if it's ever going to happen, but they said, "pick a disease" and they had this long list of these terrible diseases, and they want you to write a song about this disease, then they're going to put it all on a record. It's just gotten out of hand. I didn't want to get involved. I just said, "No, I can't pick a disease." Scurvy is a disease. Finding rhymes is hard for diseases. Scurvy. What rhymes with scurvy? "She had scurvy, but she was so curvy…" That's not going to fly.Sounds like he needs Dr. Lambshead.

The Mets wasted another Chris Capuano outing last night, but on the bright spot they has a good outing to waste. Capuano has been up-and-down this spring, but he's had a several starts suggest he was worth the gamble.
And, before Chris Young was injured, he had his moments, too. Ditto, Pedro Beatto.
The 2011 season hasn't been totally void of positive developments. Ike Davis has been fun to watch, Jose Thole will continue to improve, Carlos Beltran has stayed healthy and, despite for some concentration lapses, Jose Reyes has had a good season.
You can make statistics read anything you'd like, but the 15-20 Mets have lost 11 games this season by two or fewer runs. Improvement in the RISP category and they could be a .500 team or better. It's not that inconceivable to believe.
In every team's development from bad to decent to good, there are steps and one of them is learning how to win the close games. Yes, they've won a few, but the 11 they have lost can be, and should be gnawing to them.
Hopefully, these defeats are bothering them, making them angry and more determined to concentrate and focus when the games are close. That's why I pointed out the other day about Reyes. Sure, they won that game, but there have been others they lost where he and others fell out of focus.
The Mets are having some good things happen this year, and their losing the close games should be looked upon as a learning experience. When Sandy Alderson is considering how close the Mets are to reaching contending status, this is something he should evaluate closely.
This is not a contending team, but it isn't one that should be blown up, either.

In 2001, the principal of Three Oaks School in Cary District 26 could have counted the number of pupils eligible for free- and reduced-price lunches on both hands and still have fingers left over.
The seven eligible students back then represented just less than 1 percent of the school's enrollment. Over the past 13 years, the percentage has skyrocketed to just under half – 244 of the school's 526 children now are eligible under federal guidelines.
It's a pattern that has repeated itself at every school in McHenry County, according to school lunch data obtained by the Northwest Herald. While student populations for the most part have stayed the same or decreased, the number of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunches has, on average, tripled since 2000.
School officials who administer the federal lunch program say the main reason by far is that more families need help because of years of bad economic times.
"I would say the majority [cause] would be the economy," said Nancy Reczek, assistant superintendent for early learning and elementary education at District 200 in Woodstock. "It's making it more difficult for families, absolutely."
Under the National School Lunch Program, children from families with incomes at or below 130 percent of the poverty level are eligible for free meals. Children from families between 130 percent and 185 percent are eligible for reduced-price meals, for which children can be charged a maximum of 40 cents. Those benchmarks, reviewed each year, now stand at $30,615 and $43,568, respectively.
The program, which cost $6.1 billion to administer in 2000, cost $11.6 billion in 2012, according to federal data. It served free and reduced-price lunches last year to 31 million schoolchildren in more than 100,000 public and nonprofit private schools.
Minor changes in qualifications aside, growing need is the main driver, and McHenry County schools are a mircocosm of the increasing need nationwide.
In Alden-Hebron District 19, the percentage of eligible elementary school children has more than tripled, from 11.1 percent to 39 percent now. The number of eligible students at Alden-Hebron High School has leaped from 7 percent to 30 percent.
Since 2001, the number of pupils who qualify for subsidized lunches at Indian Prairie Elementary School in Crystal Lake District 47 has surged from just less than 2 percent in 2001 to almost one in four today. More than one student in three qualifies at Lake in the Hills Elementary in District 300, and Marengo High School. In 2001, only 6 percent and 5 percent qualified.
Schools that had high percentages a decade ago are even higher today.
One student in four was eligible for free- and reduced-price lunch in 2001 at Parkview Elementary School in Carpentersville. That number has climbed at the D-300 school to more than 80 percent today. At neighboring Perry Elementary School, 93 percent of students are eligible today, compared to two-thirds a decade ago.
Of schools in McHenry County proper, the highest percentages for elementary, middle and high schools can be found in District 50 in Harvard. An average of 66 percent of students at its five schools qualify, up from 28 percent in 2001.
Like her District 200 counterpart, District 50 business manager Mary Taylor blames the economy on the rise in eligibility, because requests for other assistance have increased as well.
"We're seeing a lot more applying for tuition waivers, and we've talked to quite a few people where one of the household members have lost their job," Taylor said.
But the district this year has started involvement in a program that Taylor says shows the importance of making sure students get meals.
District 50's three elementary schools this year are able to provide free breakfasts and lunches to all students, regardless of ability to pay, through a federal program called the Community Eligibility Option. To qualify for the program, administered through the states, more than 40 percent of students at a school have to be getting some sort of government assistance.
Taylor said there are far fewer trips to the nurse, as well as fewer trips to the principal's office for bad behavior, since the program began.
"Teachers love it, the administrators are loving it also and the kids are getting good meals," Taylor said.

United States GP 2013
Saturday Team Quotes
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st, 1:36.338): "It's obviously great for the team to have both cars on the front row for tomorrow. It was a tricky session as the wind had picked up quite a bit since this morning; it does influence the behaviour of the car and it's not that easy, especially in the corners, I wasn't that happy with my first run in Q3, but I think I had a solid run at the end which was enough. It was very close with Mark, he seemed to get closer and closer as the weekend went on, so fortunately I was just able to stay ahead. I think he might have had a mistake on his final run. I'm very happy with pole position today, I like this place and the circuit and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's important to start on the clean side, so we'll see what we can do."
Mark Webber (2nd, 1:36.441): "I didn't think I had done enough on the second run in Q3, we (Seb and I) both had two shots with two sets of options. The first part of my final lap was very good, I was happy with that, but I didn't quite get Turns 19 and 20; if I'd done what I did there initially in Q3, it would probably have been enough, but I tried to squeeze a bit more out and it's easy to load the car a bit too much in these conditions. Sometimes you're happy and think you've given your best, but today it slipped through the fingers. Well done to Seb, he put the three sectors together and I put two and a half together. I just dropped it in the last sector and it's not satisfying when you do that, but I'm still pretty happy with second."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "A fantastic performance from both drivers today in what was a really exciting Q3. It yo-yoed between Mark and Sebastian trading fastest sectors and in the end Sebastian, by the smallest of margins, managed to achieve the pole and a team front row lock out, with Mark joining him alongside. It was a great team performance and a great 40th birthday present!"
Thierry Salvi, Renault: "A great result in qualifying today, with another full front row. The gap between Red Bull and the third car emphasises the competitiveness of our package yet again: no one was able to go quicker in the US today. Both drivers challenged each other, with Mark being quicker on the first run in Q3 and then the other way on the final run. Now the baseline is done, we have to confirm that result tomorrow and push to the maximum from the start of the race. Let's see how it goes."
Fernando Alonso (6th, 1:37.376): "I feel reasonably satisfied with the result of today's qualifying, because after the problems we have had almost all weekend long and even in Q1, we had little hope of getting through to the third part. It just goes to show how much things can change with around ten degrees higher track temperature: here we have suffered a lot in getting the tyres to work, especially in the morning sessions, when the temperatures were lower. But looking at the pace we showed in the afternoon, I think that the sunshine predicted for tomorrow could help us to have a good race. It would be nice to make it to the podium, but my main aim is to help the team to take second place in the Constructors' Championship. In order to do that, we need to beat the Mercedes, preferably right from the start, which will condition the way the race goes, even if it will not be easy, as the dirty side of the track here in Austin is one of the worst of the year."
Felipe Massa (15th, 1:38.592): "That was a very difficult qualifying. From yesterday afternoon onwards, I haven't been able to drive the car properly, something isn't working and we haven't managed to work out why. I don't think I've got a specific problem, but there really is very little grip, both at the front and the rear and I wasn't quick on either compound. It is very strange, because Fernando managed to adapt better to the car-tyre package and I can't understand why I can't do the same, especially as I like this track a lot. I never expected to find myself struggling so much. Now we must find a solution for tomorrow, because even if it will be a difficult race, we have to do our utmost to move up the order and bring home points that will be valuable for the Constructors' classification."
Pat Fry: "Leaving aside the outcome of this qualifying, it's hard to give a clear explanation of how the weekend has gone. The performances seen up to today have been affected by a series of variables and, if one leaves out the Red Bulls, I think that for the rest of the field, it's been more demanding than usual to understand the behaviour of the cars. The changing weather and the varying levels of grip have added an extra challenge when it comes to establishing the set up and understanding the behaviour of the compounds chosen for this race. I am sorry for Felipe who didn't manage to get to Q3. Even though he gave it his all, he struggled a lot to find the right feeling, mainly because of the lack of grip. Fernando was better able to adapt and the result he got today during a very difficult weekend, is down to his great talent. Certainly our aims are higher than a sixth place, but the reduced gap to third place is a great boost for all the team to do their very best in this final part of the season."
Sergio Perez (7th, 1:37.452): "Obviously, I'm very pleased, but, when you're so close to the cars in front, you still want to improve. In that respect, I'm slightly disappointed ' but if you'd told me I'd be seventh before the start of qualifying, I'd have taken it. For quali, I was just able to relax and focus. At the end of the day, I'm a racing driver ' I've been doing this my whole life. When I get in the car, I just forget about everything else and concentrate on my own performance. Tomorrow, I'll be racing in front of my own people ' that makes me feel hugely proud. I'll be starting from the clean side of the grid, I'll be hoping for a good start, and I'll be really hoping to put on a great show for all my Mexican fans."
Jenson Button (13th, 1:38.217): "I don't know what happened. I couldn't find the balance or the grip. The pace just wasn't there. That's tough, especially when we've looked pretty quick for most of the weekend. But I don't know where our pace has gone in qualifying ' it's not the first time it's happened. It wasn't necessarily the weather conditions ' other drivers seemed to cope ' although I guess it may have contributed. We'll investigate. It was weird though ' especially when you saw that Valtteri [Bottas] could go quickest in Q1 but his team-mate couldn't even get through to Q2. My three-place grid penalty means I'll be starting 16th ' that won't be ideal, as it means I'll be starting not only from a long way back but also from the dirty side of the grid."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Checo did a great job to end up P7 in qualifying here in Austin today, and I'm sure he'll be keen to convert his good quali form into a fine race result tomorrow. Jenson struggled a little with the balance of his car, and undoubtedly the very windy conditions didn't help. Nonetheless, despite his three-place grid penalty, tomorrow he'll be determined to force his way through the field from his lowly grid position, as we've so often seen him do to great effect in the past. Last but far from least, I hope that we at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes will be able to do our bit to make the 2013 United States Grand Prix a fabulous event. Formula 1 may not yet be as big in the United States as it is in some other countries, but undoubtedly the fans here in Austin are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and the superb organisation we see here at the Circuit of the Americas is an excellent conduit to their entertainment and enjoyment."
Romain Grosjean (3rd, 1:37.155): "It's not been the easiest weekend in terms of finding the right balance with the car, so to be third on the grid is a good result. We managed to go through Q1 on the hard tyre which was not the plan initially, but it was a nice surprise and gave us options for the two following sessions. It's great for the team to have Heikki [Kovalainen] in the top ten too ' especially with Mercedes and Ferrari struggling a little bit ' as we're still fighting them hard in the Constructors' Championship, so hopefully we can score good points with both cars tomorrow. Sebastian [Vettel] and Mark [Webber] were very quick today, but of course we'll do our best to round up the bulls in the race; we are in Texas after all!"
Heikki Kovalainen (8th, 1:37.715): "I knew yesterday that we had a good car, but I didn't really set myself a target for qualifying. I felt that I got pretty much everything I could from it today, as I struggled a bit compared to yesterday with the cooler temperatures this afternoon. Overall, everything's been positive so far and we got into the top ten. I'm not making any predictions, but we've seen that Kimi could do pretty well working forwards from similar grid positions so hopefully tomorrow we can have another good day."
Alan Permane, Chief Race Engineer: "We're very happy with today's performance from both drivers. Romain is once more leading the charge against the Red Bulls after a reasonably straight-forward progression through the qualifying sessions. Heikki has come in and demonstrated that he's certainly got the ability to deliver at the front of the pack; progressing through to the top ten with no real dramas despite his limited experience with our car. He's jumped into the car and delivered exactly what we've wanted from him. He qualified solidly in the top ten and has a realistic opportunity to score good points tomorrow. As we've seen this year, our car is often stronger in the race than it is in qualifying so he has great potential tomorrow; especially as he's learning the car more with every lap. Our long run pace looks good and there are overtaking opportunities here. The track has evolved well since last year, so there isn't such a hunt for grip and that should help tyre performance. We're feeling quite confident."
Mercedes GP
Lewis Hamilton (5th, 1:37.345): "That was a really tricky session this afternoon so I have to be pleased with fifth place although, of course, I'd rather have been fighting for a position on the first two rows. The car was quick out there and I had a good balance but we just couldn't get the tyres to work. The track was completely different from the final practice session this morning and it was really gusty round the back which affected our car quite a lot. In practice, the car has felt really strong this weekend so I hope we have a good set-up for tomorrow. I need to have a good start in the race and, if we can achieve that, then there is still a lot to play for."
Nico Rosberg (14th, 1:38.364): "I had real problems getting my tyres into the right working window today and it's so disappointing to have not gone through to Q3. It was all about finding the right compromise in the conditions which saw very hard tyres on a very soft track surface, and we saw a lot of surprises today as a result. Tomorrow should be warmer which will improve the situation for us but starting so far back is not ideal. We've worked a lot on our race pace so the car should be strong tomorrow and I'll be pushing really hard to move forward, overtake some guys and score good points."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "That was a very tough qualifying session and certainly not what we were hoping for. Our car appeared to suffer more than most in the prevailing conditions: the blustery wind was upsetting the car and it was also tricky to bring the front and rear tyre temperatures into the right window in harmony. However, conditions are predicted to be very different tomorrow, and I am optimistic that, with the set-up we have on the cars, we can achieve a decent race result."
Toto Wolff, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "A very disappointing afternoon for the team. The main challenge was to get all four tyres into the operating window with the front and rear sets working well at the same time. We clearly didn't do that as well as our competitors, which is reflected in the grid positions. But tomorrow is another day where the warmer conditions should bring the track towards us so we are optimistic that the race could play to some of our strengths."
Nico Hulkenberg (4th, 1:37.296): "I have felt comfortable with the car over the whole weekend, but it was a different story in Q1 and Q2, as the wind picked up compared to FP3 this morning. It was a tail wind out of turn one and, therefore, also sector one and a bit in sector two. It was tricky, because our car is pretty sensitive to wind. But we made a few changes to it and put it all together in Q3. I think this was the maximum today for us and I am happy with my lap. P4 is a good position to start the race from tomorrow."
Esteban Gutierrez (10th, 1:38.034): "Overall it was a good qualifying. With the change of wind it was tricky to decide on how to warm up the tyres in order to get the most out of them. We discussed several strategies, but at the end we decided to do one out lap and then push. It was pretty challenging and it was not an optimal lap, but getting into Q3 is a good thing, especially here in Austin. With all the support we have here from the fans it's great to have two Mexicans qualifying in the top ten."
Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "This is a fantastic qualifying result! It's great that the team is able to continue its momentum, and with both cars. This puts us in an excellent position for the race tomorrow."
Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: "Today was difficult, especially in qualifying with the increased wind levels. The engineers and drivers displayed excellent awareness of the situation to ensure we got both cars into Q3. However, there are no points on a Saturday, so today is only part one. Now we need to ensure we deliver a strong result tomorrow."
Force India-Mercedes
Paul di Resta (12th, 1:38.139): "I'm reasonably happy with today's result because this is a track that does not particularly suit my driving style. The wind picked up quite a bit before qualifying, which made the conditions tricky and I think we made the most of that. We out-qualified some quick cars today and in the end I was just a tenth away from making Q3. I was planning to go for a final quick lap in Q2, but I came across Lewis [Hamilton] on my out lap, who was cooling his tyres. It meant my out lap was compromised so we aborted the run. We can make a free choice on tyres tomorrow and we've shown recently that our performance on race day has been our strength. If we can make a good start and optimise the strategy, then points will be within reach."
Adrian Sutil (17th, 1:39.250): "It's a disappointing result today. The car has been quick through all the sessions, but things didn't go to plan today. I had to overtake a lot of traffic on my quick lap in Q1, including a Marussia going into the final corner, and that cost me the chance of making Q2. I then started another lap and suffered a brake disc failure on the front right, which ended the session for me. So I'm starting in P17 and I just hope we can do something with the strategy to try and get up into the points tomorrow."
Dr. Vijay Mallya, Team Principal: "A mixed qualifying result for Sahara Force India. Paul had a good session and made a big improvement between final practice and qualifying. He's put himself in a strong position to race for points tomorrow. Adrian was unlucky with traffic compromising his best opportunity in Q1. His final chance of a quick lap ended with a brake disc failure on the front right corner, which resulted in a puncture. It's unfortunate because he was not able to show the true speed of the car. The task for us now is to try use the strategy to bring him into contention for points."
Valtteri Bottas (9th, 1:37.836): "I really enjoyed today and I am happy with that performance. To be honest I expected a bit more in Q3 because we were competitive in Q1 and Q2. I'm very happy for the team; they've all done a great job and improved the car a lot from practice to qualifying. We are in a good position for tomorrow and we need to try and gain from this and score some points in the race."
Pastor Maldonado (18th, 1:39.351): "We have struggled this weekend and today showed that; the car doesn't feel right in terms of the tyres pressures or temperatures so we need to take a closer look at that. We got held up by a bit of traffic, which meant that we weren't able to get into Q2. We will try to do our best in the race tomorrow from the position we're in."
Xevi Pujolar, Chief Race Engineer: "The Circuit of the Americas is quite unique in terms of track layout, roughness and temperature which, mixed with the fact that the tyre compound choices are on the conservative side, makes getting the tyres working well the key to a good qualifying lap. We had better performance in FP1 and were working to bring this back in practice this morning. We had both cars on similar configurations targeting the same optimum operating window for the tyres, and knew if we could achieve this then there was potential for a good result with both cars. Valtteri got the tyres working well and put in a consistently strong performance throughout qualifying to get into Q3. We didn't quite get the tyre performance with Pastor, but despite starting 18th he always makes a good start and fights through on the opening laps, so we still expect him to move forward in the race. Overall, it was great to have Valtteri qualify in ninth and we now aim to convert a good result today into points tomorrow."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Daniel Ricciardo (11th, 1:38.131): "Overall, I am pretty happy with eleventh, which is clearly very close to making the cut to Q3. However in Q1 I was frustrated with the balance of the car and I felt I was quite lucky to get into Q2. I believe the wind conditions were making life tricky for everyone and I don't think I was the only one struggling. I was pretty happy with my Q2 lap even though the car was moving around a lot. Now I'm looking forward to the race: I'm just outside the top ten, I'm on the clean side of the track and I get a free tyre choice."
Jean-Eric Vergne (16th, 1:38.696): "I can't explain my performance or lack of it this afternoon. We struggled with the car right from the start of the weekend, but we had made progress overnight and improved it in FP3. Then, this afternoon, on my first run in Q1 I was struggling on my first run on the Hard tyre, but as soon as I fitted the Medium, I gained two seconds and all of sudden, I had a driveable car and set a good time and was much happier. But in Q2, when I had opted to go for just a single timed lap on the new Option, I again found the car very difficult to drive. Maybe it is linked to the warm-up of the tyres, as it is very difficult to get them up to temperature, so we will have to look at that, but generally, I just didn't feel comfortable driving the car. Tomorrow we will see what happens, when hopefully the improvement we made overnight will pay off over the long runs."
Laurent Mekies, Head of Vehicle Performance: "We had a lot of work to do last night, after lacking pace on Friday and the result was that today, we went in different directions with our two cars. With Daniel, we recovered well to be eleventh, about one tenth off P8 in Q2 and only a tenth behind cars that were ahead of us by a second yesterday. With Jev, it's been a bit up and down between this morning and qualifying, at times showing a good pace and at others not. Unfortunately, that progress from the morning was not sustained in qualifying. He was quick in Q1 but could not match that performance in Q2. However, with the general progress we made since the first day, we can expect our long run pace to be better tomorrow and we can aspire to having two cars competitive enough to run at the front of the mid-field."
Giedo van der Garde (19th, 1:40.491): "Right from the start of FP3 it was clear the changes we'd made overnight had worked well. The track conditions were a bit better but the car was back to how it had been in the last few races, much more balanced which meant I could push round the whole lap. We still had a bit of front locking to deal with and I was struggling a bit with traction, but overall it was a good start to the session. We tried a camber change for run two but it didn't improve anything so we stuck to what was working and the rest of the session was ok. On the performance run I didn't have a clean lap so my final time was definitely away from what it could have been, but overall I was reasonably happy going into quali. We went for two three lap runs in quali and I have to say I'm very pleased with where I finished. Considering the fact this is a new track for me, and I missed FP1, to finish ahead of the other guys we're fighting with is, I think, good work. The car felt really good in Q1, I'm not sure there was a lot more in it but still, we start tomorrow in 19th and I think it'll be an exciting race."
Charles Pic (21st, 1:40.596): "We had a small mechanical issue at the start of FP3 which meant I had to come in earlier than we'd planned on run one. It was fixed quickly and I was back out on the primes for the first full run and, compared to Friday, the car was definitely better. It was a little on the oversteer side, especially in the medium to high speed turns, but it was good in the lowspeed sections. In qualifying the car balance felt very different form FP3. Maybe the change inwind direction affected it a bit but it was understeering through turns four to nine and in 11, and then oversteer came in on the exit of turns 13 and 19 so I couldn't really attack as I had in FP3. We have a penalty anyway because of the gearbox change we had to make this morning so I was always going back a couple of places, but even with that it would have been good to carry through the pace from the morning session to qualifying."
Jules Bianchi (20th, 1:40.528): "After the problems we have experienced so far this weekend, we absolutely needed to find the right solution in time for qualifying. I'm very happy that we did this and although we haven't been able to spend the time to tune the car, we made enough progress to split the Caterhams, which is a good result from where we were. Had we been fully there with the balance, who knows, it may have been possible to get ahead of Van Der Garde as we were just a few hundredths away. It was pretty windy in Sector 1 also, so if we look at the overall picture we have to be pretty pleased with the result. My thanks to the Team for all the hard work in resolving our problems and now we can look forward to the race with a little more confidence."
Max Chilton (22nd, 1:41.401): "I'm a little disappointed with my qualifying result. We've struggled with the car balance all weekend. We went back to where we started with the set-up to try to reduce the instability, but this made it worse and we've had to try quite a few things to improve. I was actually quite happy with the lap I did this afternoon, but the time just wasn't there, which is frustrating. Our car is always better in the race and that's what we've been focusing on, so we hope for better things tomorrow."
John Booth, Team Principal: "After a long night spent looking through a huge amount of data, we identified some of the problems that had plagued our car balance yesterday, in particular with Jules. This morning's FP3 session was really about gathering more data to see what solutions we could find for these problems and we believed we were on top of them, however when we got to the final option run, the car was again struggling for balance. Between the sessions we evaluated all the data and came up with a revised solution, going back to a set-up that was more in line with Suzuka and this appeared to help the car balance considerably. As usual in this situation you are often faced with more than one problem, so it's good that we have been able to fix several issues, which enabled Jules to take the fight to Caterham. In hindsight we have probably spent a little too much time focusing on our race balance and this is perhaps how we lost our way a little, but it seems that we are now back on the pace and we'll see how this set-up solution fares in the race tomorrow. Max has not been without his issues today and his balance, although improved in qualifying, certainly wasn't quite as good as Jules. It's a shame that we weren't able to give him the car to move forward, but we will look into what went wrong and see what we can do to help him improve. All in all, it should be an interesting race."

Giving Women's History a Home
Perhaps this year's Women's History Month will mark the success of a push for a National Women's History Museum, a campaign that has built up an impressive history of its own.
March is Women's History Month, when we celebrate the contributions of extraordinary women of the past. But while a month provides a meaningful focus for honoring women's history, that awareness should be threaded into our culture and educational systems year-round. Such a goal is behind a movement to build a museum in Washington, D.C., organized by a group called the National Women's History Museum (NWHM).
The project started in 1995, as a result of the treatment of a women's suffrage statue. Joan Wages, the president and CEO of the National Women's History Museum, explained that the monument of suffragists Lucretia Mott, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony was dedicated in the Capitol Rotunda in 1921, and then the very next day "the all male Congress moved it downstairs into a storage closet." In the years that followed, Wages said that Congress "would come up with all of these excuses why they couldn't move this statue." In the 1990s, after a "big campaign, once again, by a number of women's groups to ask Congress to move the statue and they didn't do it," Karen Staser founded the NWHM, explained Wages, a founding board member. Its grassroots campaign raised $85,000 and generated the support to move the statue back to the Rotunda on Mother's Day 1997, where it now stands.
Wages described that experience as a powerful metaphor for what often happens to women's history. "It comes to the light of day and then it's stored away," she said, in this case below the Rotunda in the U.S. Capitol Crypt. "What needs to happen is for women's history to be made part of our national story." While the NWHM has existed virtually for the past ten years at their website—and currently offers a robust gallery of 21 online exhibits—it has been campaigning since 1998 to get an actual, physical museum, on or near the National Mall. Although the museum will be privately funded, Congress has yet to authorize purchase of a plot, which is on federal land. Legislation to approve the sale has been met again and again with a range of cumbersome excuses and delays, much like the suffrage statue that inspired the museum's founding. But an impressive cadre of influential supporters—including more than 200 members of Congress on its Honorary Board as well as Meryl Streep as national spokeswoman—is determined to break the impasse. Streep recently pledged $1 million dollars to the museum from her earnings for the film The Iron Lady, in which she plays British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. During her speech at a NWHM gala in 2010, the actress spoke about "the deep, psychological, spiritual, symbolic meaning of a building," adding that museums "are especially important in Washington, D.C., seat of our national heritage, memorialized in marble and granite, glass, stone, and steel" not only as "symbols, but as gathering places, as inspirational spaces."
According to Wages, Streep's interest in the museum is personal. She said Streep would relate her grandmother's stories of going after her grandfather on election day to "wrangle him off the golf course" and tell him who to vote for on the Board of Education. "He didn't know as much about who was running and she couldn't vote." Wages added that, Streep "really gets it. She wants a better world for her daughters and her grandchildren."
To Wages, women need an appreciation of their own history as the foundation for empowerment. "Men have had their history for thousands of years. They draw power from that. They learn from what men have done before and what works, what doesn't work, what inspires them to move forward," she said. Women, on the other hand, "essentially stand on what I called historical quicksand, because every generation loses this information about what women have done to build and grow our society and the world." An historian told her, she added, "that every generation of women has to recreate the wheel," by finding the courage within themselves to step out without knowing that a path has been broken by women successful "in business, in finance, in medicine, in mathematics, in computers, in all of these fields."
In the latest action, legislation has passed out of committee in the House to approve the building site. However, Wages said, the committee chairman "ended up attaching another bill to ours and the other bill is very costly." NWHM is now working with Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, who has been their House bill sponsor, to "evaluate the best next step." In the meanwhile, the NWHM has launched a "Right Here, Right Now" campaign at their website where supporters can contact their senators and urge them to champion The National Women's History Museum Act. In her speech, Streep lamented that a bill "sponsored by the bipartisan women in Congress" has year after year been "pushed aside, neglected. Not deemed important enough." It is maddening to her "that we still must kneel and beg our brothers in Congress to please let us build a museum that honors the achievements of their own mothers and grandmothers."
Wages says her highest hope is that this museum "will help change the culture in a way that there's greater value for what women provide to our society." Streep said she is confident "that the whole family will feel, in that hall, the gratitude of neglected generations. And they will feel the awe that comes from breathing the cool air of respect for the aspirations and accomplishments of fully one half of humanity."

Pirates designate P Sanchez for assignment
Milwaukee, WI – The Pittsburgh Pirates designated left- handed pitcher Jonathan Sanchez for assignment on Tuesday.
Sanchez went 0-3 with an 11.85 ERA over five games -- four starts -- for the Pirates this season.
Sanchez received a six-game suspension on Saturday after hitting Allen Craig with a pitch in the first inning of Friday's game with the St. Louis Cardinals.
To fill the roster spot, Pittsburgh recalled right-handed reliever Bryan Morris from Triple-A Indianapolis. Over five games, Morris has recorded five saves with Indianapolis.
Morris tossed three shutout innings for the Pirates earlier this season.
