NASA received both strong support and a new direction from the Obama Administration in the fiscal year 2011 budget proposal. The new funding – an increase of six billion dollars over five years – stands out in the face of a widespread government budget freeze. Among other noteworthy proposals is the major shift to commercially developed rockets for human space flight.
While many details are still to emerge, The Planetary Society welcomes the overall budget increase and other proposals by the Obama Administration for NASA, and urges Congress to use the Administration’s proposal to finally advance human exploration beyond Earth orbit and beyond the Moon.
The Administration proposes to cancel the Constellation program in favor of the commercial industry’s providing new rockets and NASA providing new technology for exploration beyond Earth orbit. The new plan appears consistent with the “flexible path” defined by the Committee to Review U.S. Human Space Flight Plans, headed by Norm Augustine.
“The new plan should enable human space exploration to move ahead more realistically and even more quickly than previous plans,” said Louis Friedman, the Society’s Executive Director. “A continuing series of new achievements along a flexible path into the solar system would be more inspiring than going back to the Moon, and more affordable as it proceeds step-by-step into deep space,” he added.
Other highlights of the budget proposal which the Society supports include:
- Substantial new funding for competitively-selected commercial launch vehicles to provide U.S. access to the International Space Station
- Extending International Space Station operations to at least 2020
- Initiating several new technology development programs to permit human exploration beyond Earth orbit and into the solar system, including $3.1 billion over five years for heavy lift launch vehicle technology
- Establishment of a new program of robotic missions to a variety of solar system destinations, to serve as precursors to eventual human exploration
- Continued strong support for robotic space science missions, including full funding of Mars exploration and the James Webb Space Telescope, as well as early formulation funding for a mission to explore Europa
- Strong support for Earth Observations, including the re-flight of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory and the acceleration of efforts to monitor and understand global climate change
- Greater engagement with other space-faring nations to enable more ambitious human and robotic exploration
Society President and planetary scientist Jim Bell stated, “The President’s proposal represents a major paradigm shift in NASA's human exploration program while maintaining solid support for continuing robotic missions and space science research. Particularly compelling is the plan's commitment to fast-track a significant new set of robotic precursor missions as well as the heavy-lift capability needed for deep space exploration. The scientific, technological, educational, and economic benefits of such a complementary and publicly-engaging human and robotic space program could be profound.”
Society Vice President Bill Nye, the Science Guy® remarked, "Under the President's plan, NASA will engage a whole new generation of explorers and scientists. We'll develop the technology to explore Deep Space, reaching new milestones in space and accomplishing new things here on Earth."
Last year the Society presented its recommendation “Beyond the Moon: A New Roadmap for Human Space Exploration in the 21st Century” to the Augustine Committee and the incoming Obama Administration.
“To form that Roadmap, we polled our membership and sought opinions from many scientists, engineers, managers, and politicians. Many of the recommendations that we made were similar to those of the Augustine Committee's ‘flexible path,’ ” Bell noted.
Recommendations included an international program of sending astronauts step-by-step beyond the Moon and out into the solar system, establishing new distance and flight duration records on the long road toward Mars. Included in these steps would be missions to near-Earth asteroids, important exploration objectives in their own right.
The Society, through its leadership and membership, will strongly urge Congress to adopt such a roadmap as they consider the Administration’s budget request this year. Emphasis on the integration of science and exploration, and on international cooperation among space-faring nations for ambitious missions, will continue as the Society focuses on public interest, inspiration, and engagement for the future.

Bipolar disorder patients perform worse than do their counterparts without-bipolar disorder at language comprehension tests at the behavioral level, but not the physiological level, according to findings from a small-scale study.
A team of researchers from CHU Sainte Marguerite and Aix-Marseille Université, Marseille, France, examined behavioral and electrophysiological responses to speech by measuring the "N400 effect," an ERP (event-related brain potential) observed in patients with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia that typically is provoked via the subjects’ response to unexpected or incongruous words at the end of a sentence.
Led by Dr. Michel Cermolacce of CHU Sainte Marguerite, the team compared responses from 38 participants, including 19 bipolar type I patients and 19 healthy comparison subjects. The patients with bipolar disorder were recruited from the Marseille University Department of Psychiatry while presenting a mild to severe manic episode and did not have concurrent neurological disorders (J. Affect. Disord. 2014;158:161-71).
The participants in the study were asked to listen to a series of congruous and incongruous complete sentences and judge whether the last word of each sentence was congruous or incongruous. The subjects’ brain waves were measured throughout the test with an electroencephalogram.
The study participants with bipolar disorder exhibited a lower rate of correct responses for both congruous endings (76.7%, compared to 80% from healthy subjects) and incongruous endings (75% in patients with bipolar disorder, and 80% from healthy subjects). In addition, bipolar patients had longer response times when looking for congruous endings than their peers did (1,120 ms compared to 970 ms for healthy subjects.)
However, EEG readings showed preserved amplitude but delayed latency in difference waves, suggesting no significant disruption of brain waves through the N400. The authors noted that the findings contrast with the only previous N400 study, which showed a disruption of brain waves that is in line with similar results found in patients with schizophrenia (Prog. Neuropsychopharmacol. Biol. Psychiatry 2012;38:194-200). The previous study used visually presented word pairs rather than verbal word pairs, an approach the authors contend does not reflect a natural language setting.
Dr. Cermolacce and his colleagues cited several limitations, including the study’s small sample size and the absence of a group of patients with schizophrenia.
However, the findings suggest that specificity and adherence to natural speech patterns should be taken into account when examining speech disruptions in patients with mental disorders in a research setting, they noted.
"The discrepancy in manic patients between (i) preserved N400 and (ii) delayed [Late Positive Component] and impaired behavioral performances under natural speech conditions can be interpreted as reflecting non-specific cognitive rather than primary language alterations in line with previous behavioral findings," they wrote.
The authors report no conflict of interest.

Cathy Maes, executive director of the Minnetonka-based Intercongregation Communities Association (ICA), said her food shelf struggled to get breakfast cereal from the food bank anymore. She wasn’t sure why.
I met Maes at a November Hunger Solutions Minnesota conference. I made a note to myself to follow up on the cereal shortage. Then my reporter brain started spinning. Headline: “Rising grain prices, ethanol, fuel food-shelf cereal shortage.” Or perhaps, “Cereal donations dive with economy.”
Turns out, cereal donations are at an all-time high, said Jon Guy, vice president of communications and advancement at Second Harvest Heartland, the food bank where ICA buys a lot of its food. Problem is, demand is growing faster than supply.
“Pure and simple, our support both in cash and food donations has never been higher,” Guy said. “It is up dramatically. It is not a supply issue. It can get confusing.”
Guy said while food donations have increased by approximately 20 percent compared to a year ago, the food shelves are saying their demand is up 25 percent or more. “The story is the demand is unbelievable,” he said.
Rick Len, ICA’s food buyer and food room manager, said the food shelf tries to put breakfast cereal in every food bag. People want it; it’s something kids can fix for themselves. Cereal availability has always tended to go in cycles. “In the past it hasn’t dried up like it has in the past three to four months,” he said.
At Second Harvest, Guy said for the last six months, cereal has been “cross docked.” That means the cereal is in such demand that they don’t bother putting it on the shelves. A truck brings the cereal in, it gets unloaded in one dock and moved to another dock and sent out on the next available truck.
“I just looked at the inventory sheet and we don’t have cereal in the warehouse right now,” Guy said. “We will get a truckload tomorrow.”
Donated food inventories tend to run lowest in the summer when kids are out of school. During the rest of the year, school breakfast and lunch programs reduce food-shelf demand. ICA’s Len said the cereal supply seems to be getting better. But demand continues to grow.
By the numbers
Last month, Hunger Solutions released its analysis of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s annual food insecurity report. It said Minnesota food-shelf visits have increased 11 percent during the first six months of 2008 (and visits have increased 67 percent since 2000).
In 2007, there were nearly 2 million visits to Minnesota food shelves, and people left with more than 47 million pounds of food. (That’s the equivalent of more than nine pounds of groceries for every Minnesota resident.)
In addition, food-stamp use is rising as a result of increased joblessness, falling wages and rising food costs, Hunger Solutions said. Food-stamp participation in Minnesota increased 5.3 percent from August 2007 to August 2008.
The problem is hitting every part of the state. ICA serves Minnetonka, Hopkins, Excelsior, Deephaven, Shorewood, Greenwood and Woodland. Len said demand has been increasing by around 10 percent a month. Earlier this summer, the ICA food bank was giving out 40,000 pounds a month. In October, it gave out 68,000 pounds.

Red Lion Park is set in the heart of the Kent countryside, but just four miles from the City of Canterbury, and four miles from the medieval town of Faversham, this Park comprises just ten Park Home Bungalows, all privately owned. The Park benefits from a full twelve month residential licence and very few constricting rules.
There is main supply water, drainage, electricity and gas so no gas bottles to worry about. Every home has it’s own meters for all supplies and the choice of which supplier to use. Communal hidden refuse points collected weekly but some homes also have their own recycling bin which is put out fortnightly.
Satellite dishes and internet connection are in most of the homes, and again, the suppliers can be chosen and changed at any time by the Home Owner. Homes for sale are rarely available.
The Park has been established for approximately 12 years and is very private. The homes are set in a cul de sac style, therefore, offering good privacy. Most are fenced all the way around.
Each home has private parking for two cars. As the parking is on the front of the property, it is possible to install a charging unit for electric cars. The Park is pet friendly and for the over fifties only.
Mobile Home Agreement is 2008, and benefits from the 2013 Mobile Home Act. All documentation is in order, and has been recently checked over for accuracy. The site fee is £51.25 per week and is fixed until 2023. The low running costs, council tax band, insurance and maintenance costs far outweigh the cost of the site fee. Council tax band A. The main item of maintenance is the painting of the home every three years. The paint we used is from Resitex, and costs around £150 each time.
Everyone is very friendly, but we do not live in each others’ pockets, and the neighbours are not nosey and you are not under surveillance all the time as we have heard about other Parks. The Park Owner lives away from the area, and visits when necessary, but does not interfere with any of us. He makes sure the trees and common areas are neat and tidy but does not mind if we want to cut the shrubs back at any time. The residents are all very proud of their homes, and they are kept tidy at all times. Christmas lights brighten up the festive season with most of the residents joining in!
There is a mini plant centre and farm shop opposite the Park. In Dunkirk and the nearby village of Boughton under Blean there are two pubs with excellent restaurants, hairdressers, Post Office, Garage and fuel station, Convenience Store, Primary School and three Churches. Two very good Village Halls with many community activities such as Film Clubs, Yoga Classes, Auctions, Animal Shows etc to join if you want to.
We are on the main bus route to Canterbury and Faversham, and a few minutes away from the M2 for easy access to London and other motorways.

Chidinma is a 19 year old student of the University of Port Harcourt in Rivers State of Nigeria. She is the second child but first girl in a family of seven people, two dogs – Bully and Hitler, and Sarafina, her adorable cat.
CHIDINMA is of eastern Nigerian Descent, and the fifth out of six siblings. She grew up under strict Christian parents and became very involved in the church choir from a very tender age of ten.
She attended primary and secondary schools in Ketu Lagos before the family relocated to Ikorodu. In 2009, she discovered MTN Project Fame West Africa music reality TV show on television and followed the maiden edition keenly from the television in her living room, wishing to be part of the huge show someday.
Her dreams began to take shape when a close friend of hers encouraged her to go for the Lagos auditions of the third edition of Project Fame. She caught a bus from Ikorodu to ULTIMA Studios, the audition venue and joined the long queue of over 8,000 contestants, with only four hundred naira in her pocket. All she had was Belief..
Chidinma was short listed amongst the last eighteen contestants to go into the Fame academy. For the next ten weeks, she lived under strict tutelage from the Faculty comprising voice coaches, choreography, inspirational visits and sessions with established musicians and music business service providers, tough rehearsal drills etc
Chemistry in the Air
Mummy J came in for her class to find out that Christian was down with back ache, as a mother she encouraged him and assisted him out of bed, his tears really portrayed he was in pains, but he eventually made it to the class.
Academy Day 59.........Preparation for Stardom
The budding stars complimented the Principal for her good looks. They relieved their experience at the Hip Hop World Office. From the questions they were asked, Kesse revealed that the song written for Chidinma was from his creativity. She was the dot on the letter ‘I’ since she is the buzz of the competition. Smart one dude! Well for itching ears, the relationship between Chidinma and Kesse is strictly professional…hmmmmmmmmm!
Their songs were looked at; Chidinma is on point. For Ochuko if he gets the emotional state of his song, he would pull a great performance. Eyo needs to perform his song; but to who? Ochuko suggested a young girl…would this be workable? Well…
The floor has become the best friend for the contestants in Uncle Ben’s class. If they would ever sit on chairs, it must be earned. There was a switch with Kesse and Eyo. Kesse’s collabo is now with Timaya, and Eyo with Eldee.
The music oracle was back with the contestants. They were all commended for amazing performances. Cobhams wrote a song for a group performance. Hopefully the title would be “I’m A Winner”. The verses were split between the contestants. It was a nice time rehearsing together.
Who will step into stardom????
What a feeling…
Academy Day 54…Serious business
Adebola rehearsed her song with the Music oracle…she is working it better now. She was advised to think that there’s just one more chance to do the song and give it her best shot.
During Chidinma‘s rehearsal, her instructor felt they were still coasting along…maybe it’s because this is the actual first rehearsal of her song. Kesse’s rehearsal was smooth. Tolu took a shot during rehearsals…something new was introduced by the music oracle…he liked it. Though this is the basic idea, the song would still be worked on.
Ochuko’s song has a little challenge, the key could be changed but in order to avoid sounding nasal he would stick with this key. Cobhams thinks it’s great but could tweak his song a bit for the listening pleasure of his audience.
Eyo’s song sounds like a ballad but he wants R n B, hip hop style. The music oracle experimented with the band. A few bounces with the instrumentation would give the song a lift. A lot of embellishment was infused into Yetunde’s song to give it a structure and fine tune it. She needs to project a bit more in her second verse so that she can wow her listening audience.
Where is Christian??? Please recover fast…everyone is praying for you…
The feeling goes on…
Academy Day 51....Nigeria's Music Oracle in the Academy
In Ige’s class, she came with good news for some and bad news for the others. Tolu should have raised the key of his song…he still doesn’t breath while he sings…reason while his vein shows during his performances.
Ochuko was breaking his lines…why? Even if that’s a style to adopt as a singer, making it legato would sound a lot better. Yetunde was nervous, didn’t sing, couldn’t manage her breath…her performance was a ‘No No’. For the first time, Eyo’s vibrato was heard, he poured himself into the song, he showed emotions accompanied with good vocals.
Kesse held the emotion of his song and followed through from beginning to the end.’ All of you…you can’t afford to loose hope or loose heart now. The competition has begun…so step it up!’ Those were the parting words of their teacher.
Uncle Ben came in with Cobhams Asuquo, the music oracle in Nigeria as described by their teacher. He would mentor the contestants for this week. As a songwriter, he revealed to the contestants that Song writing is a very integral part of creating a musical work.
Each contestant presented their songs for constructive criticism. Eyo had to liven up his song, Adebola has a great song but needs a little more drama because she’s a bit too relaxed. Is there an underlying to Kesse’s song titled Chidinma? Hmmmmmmmmm… He was advised to retain the chorus but work on the verses and make it more engaging.
In spite of the fact that Yetunde’s song is lovely, her diction is in the way and has to work on it. She also needs to paint enough picture with her lyrics. Chidinma has got a fantastic melody, great message, beautiful prose, but the poetic value has to be worked on.
Cobhams and the contestants had a swell time….
Academy Day 49…It gets tougher
The contestants mimicked Uncle Ben, laughing hilariously and then…he walked in. All were asked to sit on the floor. No more chairs in his class until they prove their talents…no food, no sleep, no luxury of their rooms, everything will be done on the stage…no more excuses….they were graced with five minutes of meal time. Phew!!!
‘Let this be the last time you would let the Judges put you down’, Uncle Ben warned. As far as he was concerned, whatever the Judges said was well deserved by the contestants. ‘It is no longer about the voice but the performance’, their teacher reminded them. This week is own compositions – lyrical contents must be right, healthy and remembered by 90% of the public audience. No kidding!!!
Adebola is still deciding which song to sing, Eyo is not ready, Christian’s song is highlife. Chidinma and Yetunde were not spared for laughing at Chritian’s lyrics in Ghanaian (which means forgiveness). They were asked to kneel in front of him and ask for forgiveness…very funny. Chidinma? Title of Kesse’s song? Interesting…he’s got nice tunes though.
In addition to personal compositions, the contestants will perform ballads. The right emotions must be put in their songs. There were reminded that the public knows the songs but must be done in their own interpretation.
A family talk was held in Kaffy’s class. The chorography for the group songs was rehearsed. Tolu, Adebola, Yetunde looked down trodden…cheer up guys! Better days are ahead…
Lights, camera, action!!! It’s up to the contestants to decipher, unlock the code and take the walk.
What a feeling!!!
Academy Day 37............After the Fire
The ruins of what used to be the venue of Ultima studios (producers of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Project Fame West Africa) was seen after the horrific fire disaster that occurred on Sunday night. Thankfully, no life was lost and all contestants are hale and hearty. The show must go on…
Adora caught up with some of the contestants. Helen was on her way to take her ginger tea in the garden when she discovered the fire. Her lost voice was restored as she screamed “FIRE” and that was how the contestants were saved!
Chidinma was engrossed with scoring her songs, her ear piece on and volume loud. Seeing Rhoda fly out of the bed, she followed immediately sensing danger. Kesse was in the music room with Christian when the alarm came. Kesse lost his guitar. Tolu was in the shower, not with the slightest clue what was going on…thank God he was alert. Eyo was scoring his song and ran at the sound of the alarm. He battled with Ochuko to put out the fire. Realizing it was a lost battle and overwhelmed, they aided the evacuation process and ran for their lives.
The contestants are all excited that six weeks later they are still on with the feeling. Kesse even told everyone he is fine in his local dialect.
For Chidinma, she is glad that she has been able to find her voice, Helen’s worst experience was the loss of her voice. Kesse’s best moment is his rendition of Asa’s song; Eyo’s best moment was the duet with Kesse.
It’s challenging for them to learn dance steps, move on stage, thrill the audience and put in something extra, but they are up for it. Tolu and Kesse are ready to step up their game and stay on top. As for the dance routine, it’s not easy but they have learnt to cope and flow.
“Ain’t no stopping us, no stopping, no one does it better….Project Fame What A feeling!” Those were lyrics of the 12 contestants as they sang and dance, all excited.
The heat was INTENSE, the result IMMENSE …the feeling, fun and fever still continues.
…PROJECT FAME…What a feeling!
Academy Day 33..........Big Contenders in the Academy
The contestants were given a task to reveal who amongst them is the greatest competitor. The exercise was conducted by Kesse, the house monitor for the week. Adebola was first to share her views. ‘Tolu is a threat to me cause of his stage presence, and Yetunde, because of her energy and ability to thrill the crowd’.
Ochuko was next he feels Chidinma is one of his big contenders due to her ability to hit high notes, and kesse because he gets to rehearse other people’s songs for them on the piano and still creates time to learn his own song.
Yetunde feels Tolu and Chidinma are her greatest contenders because of their ability to carry the audience along. Christian feels Rhoda has a powerful voice that is highly competitive and Chidinma also has a powerful voice. He also feels Vwede and Kesse have great voices too.
Chidinma feels Vwede has a superb voice and Ochuko’s ability to carry himself on stage is a challenge to her and Yetunde’s energy is commendable. She also feels Rhoda has a powerful voice.
Kesse feels Tolu is his greatest contender and Chidinma, whose voice reminds him of his first girlfriend. Vwede feels Chidinma is a challenge to him, Yetunde’s style on stage , Rhoda and Adebola’s facial expressions when singing and Tolu’s R&B style of singing amazes him.
Helen feels Chidinma, Rhoda, Ochuko, Yetunde, Eyo and Kesse are her greatest contenders. Rhoda feels Chidinma , Vwede and Ochuko because of his ability to carry himself despite being big is indeed a challenge for her.
Eyo says everyone is a contender because they are all good singers in their own rights. Tolu was quite expressive as he feels Helen has a rich voice, Christian, a good entertainer, Vwede has a very fantastic voice, Adebola is a mature singer, Yetunde’s comic relief on stage and Eyo’s good looks is also a plus.
It was indeed a very revealing session!!!
i love what MTN is doing in the life of the youth.

Any way you people have what it takes to make life sweet for people.now i come to understand the vision of your company but you people should do more after mtnprojectfame let it not be only projectfame your company doing there still more vision to run in life without project your company should do more. thank you for the once you people down. i am saying thank you so much for..

A 1,200-Year-Old Murder Maya Mystery in Guatemala
In explorations during the summer, they found as many as 50 skeletons in a sacred pool and other places, victims of murder and dismemberment in a war that destroyed the city and, it seems, served as a beginning of the collapse of the classic period of the Maya civilization. The precipitous decline of the Maya is one of the enduring mysteries of American archaeology.
As the scale of the massacre became apparent, the archaeologists called on Guatemalan forensic investigators for their experience with mass burials of modern war. The team, established in 1996 to excavate the mass graves from Guatemala's civil war, has also analyzed sites in Bosnia, Kosovo and Rwanda.
Arthur A. Demarest, an archaeologist at Vanderbilt University who directed the excavations, described the discovery yesterday in an announcement by the National Geographic Society and in an interview by telephone from Guatemala City.
"This is probably the most important thing I've ever discovered," said Dr. Demarest, who has explored Maya ruins since the 1980's.
In a gruesome departure from what had been normal Maya warfare, he said, the conquerors - not yet identified - did not spare the city to rule it as a vassal state.

Richard Meggott d.1692
Richard MEGGOTT d.1692
Born in Southwark, son of a brewer. BA Queens’ College, Cambridge 1653, MA 1657, DD 1669. Rector of Ford, Sussex 1654 and held various other Sussex livings before becoming Rector of St Olave, Southwark, 1662. Vicar of Twickenham 1668-87, canon of Windsor 1677, Dean of Winchester 1670, chaplain in ordinary to Charles II, 1672. He seems to have spent much of his later life in London and attracted some celebrity as a preacher.
Meggott’s will has no mention of books; the bulk of his estate was left in trust to the benefit of his son. His library was auctioned in London by Edward Millington, 6 November 1693. The preface to the catalogue speaks of “the compleat set of the Latin fathers, a collection of the Greek of the best editions; as also of the most valuable … casuists and schoolmen”, noting both the quality of the copies and their bindings and the range of texts. It lists 1030 lots (which include numerous multi-volume sets of theological commentators) plus 7 vols of miscellaneous tracts. The contents divide: 269 Latin theology; 305 Latin philology, history, classics, philosophy; 270 English divinity; 147 English miscellaneous.
None of Meggott’s books have been identified.

How to Balance Your Garage Doors? 5 Steps to Follow
Without an automatic opener, brand-new garage doors effortlessly move and fall. For this, they must be balanced to perfection. A well-balanced garage door is easier to open and close than one that isn't properly balanced. You'll require an up and down spring for a properly balanced garage door. They are mounted opposite each other to ensure that, when one is moved into tension, it builds up on its chain until it snaps the other and then releases in a single motion, making for a perfect opening every time!
As a preventative measure, it is recommended to follow these guidelines to keep your garage door level and stay clear of the repair of your garage for homeowners.
Do you need to balance a garage door?
The garage door may be off the balance if the door isn't closing smoothly.
Your garage door's equilibrium may be out of alignment. There are many ways to tell. It may appear crooked when closed or opened, which is an evident sign that anything isn't right.

Some African American parents say their kids are suspended for behavior school officials might otherwise ignore in white children.
"Well, I won't just say African American. I'll say minority. And, I'm going by an observation I saw while visiting the class."
D.L. Whaley lives in Gwinnett county, with her 14 year old son who was suspended earlier this year for verbal outbursts.
"I saw a white student who was handled completely different. And did things that my son did for which he was suspended and this child was just asked to sit down several times. Literally got up out of his seat, walked around was talking back in a confrontation with the teacher and nothing happened. When my son does those things he gets suspended."
Whaley's son was eventually diagnosed with ADHD. But, she says officials were slow to evaluate him. And the findings came too late to keep him in school.
"I had met with them several times and asked that he be tested, given counseling what could we do to help. Finally, when I insisted and wrote letters to several members of the board, they finally tested him. And before the results of the testing had come back, they expelled him."
And, then there's this mother from Rome who says her son was taunted for hanging out with Mexican students.
"He was called a racial slur by this other student. So, he turned around and he told the child to shut the F up. The teacher heard Christopher but he didn't hear the other child. So, he sent Christopher out."
Jennifer Falk is the education spokesperson for the Georgia NAACP. She says she's not surprised by either story.
"I don't know what to say. It's a terrible situation and that's why we're trying to encourage people to talk about this situation. This is not an uncommon occurrence."
Falk says African American parents are often stonewalled when they ask for suspension alternatives.
"Parents that we've worked with spend an enormous amount of time asking, begging, cajoling school officials for meaningful interventions. Sometimes it isn't provided or it's provided in a check mark fashion … but it's not meaningful and it's not making a difference."
For D.L. Whaley from Gwinnett County, the challenge now is to get her son into another school. She's wants to enroll him in the Georgia Virtual Academy.
But, has decided to hold him back if that doesn't work out.
"He's going to miss the next school year, but I'm trying to do the GVA or something else to keep his skills sharp. I don't want him sitting around like a pumpkin for a year. And because he's not going to be challenged to the level to which I think he could be, I'm going to have him repeat the eighth grade. I don't want him to be pushed through ninth grade."
The data provided to the Georgia NAACP comes from the Department of Education. It shows a clear disparity in expulsion and suspension rates which cross gender, race and ethnicity lines. There's also a correlation between suspended students and those who receive a free or reduced priced lunch.
Falk says the group is not asking that more white kids be suspended to close the disparity gap. Instead, she says the data should be used to start a dialogue.
"Communities, grassroots conversations have to occur at the local level. And ongoing monitoring in an open environment with the public, those are really the next steps," says Falk.
The Department of Education would not speak on the issue of racial disparities in school suspensions. And, a spokesperson told GPB News that discipline is a local issue which must be handled on the local level.
School officials however do point to a program getting good results in schools where it's being tested.
It's called the Positive Behavior Support program and looks at the underlying issues which lead to suspension.
Finally, the DOE says it will levy sanctions against schools where special ed students are suspended more often than others.

State government agencies, universities and community colleges now have until Nov. 10 to apply for $10 million in grants from the state’s first digital equity grant program. The N.C. Department of Information Technology’s Office of Digital Equity and Literacy today announced that the application deadline will be extended for the initial phase of funding, which will invest $10 million to support 10-15 projects.
Applicants for the first round of funding include: all state government organizations as outlined here; University of North Carolina System or individual schools, universities, or centers within the system; and N.C. Community College System or individual schools, colleges or centers within the system. Each grantee will be awarded a maximum of $2 million for a project that must be completed by the end of 2024. This two-year grant funding program encourages collaborative partnerships
“We want to invest these federal funds to make transformational change that will help more North Carolinians afford and take advantage of high-speed internet access and all the opportunities it provides,” said NCDIT Secretary and State Chief Information Officer Jim Weaver. “We are extending the application deadline to give state partners more time to develop and submit applications that will drive measurable change for communities across our state.”
A second phase of funding totaling $14 million will open in early 2023 to support partnerships between municipalities and nonprofits, community-based organizations and key stakeholder groups for local digital inclusion projects and device distribution.
Through both phases, the grant program will invest up to $24 million of federal American Rescue Plan Act funds for collaborative digital equity projects to help North Carolinians afford high-speed internet, obtain digital devices and access digital literacy resources.
These grants are part of Governor Roy Cooper’s plan to give 95 percent of North Carolina households access to high-speed internet by expanding access and addressing issues of affordability and digital literacy. Through these investments, the Office of Digital Equity and Literacy is seeking partnerships with experts to implement digital equity solutions that positively impact target populations identified in the Digital Equity Act. These populations include low-income households; individuals who primarily reside in a rural area; older Americans/aging residents; incarcerated and/or second chance citizens/reentry/justice involved; veterans; individuals with disabilities; individuals with a language barrier (including individuals who are English learners or whose first language is not English and/or those who have low levels of literacy) and individuals who are members of a racial or ethnic minority group.
Applications from state government entities will now be accepted through Nov. 10. Additional details and information session materials can be found at www.ncbroadband.gov/funding-programs/digital-equity-grant.

Better-than-expected growth performance reflects the underlying positive changes in the Greek economy – but net investment is in fact negative, while Greece has various institutional weaknesses. Further improvements must be made regarding Greece’s attractiveness to foreign direct investment. A new (at least precautionary) financial assistance programme would improve trust in continued reforms and also address eventual public debt financing difficulties.
Why did the eurozone have such difficulties coming to terms with its own shortcomings? The authors believe they have found part of the answer, through an algorithm-based cross-country media analysis.
While the prospect of a gridlock reassured investors about the short-term risk of an anti-establishment government, Italy still needs a profound economic shake-up and is in no position to afford months or years of dormant governments.
Who gets the blame for the crisis? How did narratives of the crisis develop since 2007? The authors of this paper tried to identify the key crisis-related topics in articles from four opinion-forming newspapers in the largest euro-area countries.
At this event Tamim Bayoumi will present his upcoming book on the financial crisis, showing how the Euro crisis and U.S. housing crash were, in fact, parasitically intertwined.
While the Euro has frequently been blamed for the poor growth performance of Italy over the years, a long-term analysis shows deteriorating growth before the introduction of the Euro. Additionally, Italy has shown worse performance than other euro-periphery countries, such as Spain, implying deeper structural reasons for Italy’s economic malaise.
After rapid increases in unemployment and large wage reductions, Greece’s labour market is showing signs of recovery. Certain sectors of the economy are showing strong employment growth, which could hint at a broader economic recovery.
On 14th June, Randall Henning will present his latest book on the Euro crisis and we will discuss how financial assistance should be governed in the euro area in the future.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will have to cancel this event.
The Eurogroup faces a difficult choice on Greece — implementing a debt reduction plan drastic enough to make a return to market borrowing possible, or agreeing to a fourth financial assistance programme and continuing to fund Greece at the preferential lending rate.
Comparing and evaluating financial assistance programmes of four euro-area countries (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, and Cyprus) and three non-euro-area countries (Hungary, Latvia, and Romania) of the European Union in the aftermath of the 2007/08 global financial and economic crisis. Asian countries can draw several lessons from European experiences.
What’s at stake: the EU prepares to mark the 60th anniversary of the Treaty of Rome, and the European Commission has presented a white paper “on the future of Europe”. However, some have argued that Europe is going through a serious identity crisis, whose roots are to be found in the economic crisis and whose implications could challenge further steps towards integration. We review the recent contributions to this debate.

A few quotes + links (please click through!) from the Poet Bloggers Revival Tour, plus occasional other poetry bloggers in my feed reader. If you’ve missed earlier editions of the digest, here’s the archive.
This week, popular themes included travel, exhaustion and rejuvenation, music and poetry, and fathers.
Being a poet is a condition. That’s not an original thought, I confess that some poet has uttered those words but I don’t recall who. Being a condition, if you believe that, and I do, then it is a lifelong journey or searches to find something that you don’t know you are looking for. Once you are lucky enough to discover it and wrap a poem around it, the search begins anew. It’s a bit like government work. It’s never finished. It just keeps going on and on and on.
Michael Allyn Wells, Confession Tuesday – Flan Edition
I kept a travel journal, with small drawings. I was faithful to entering the day to day experiences, large and small. I wrote some creative work while I was away, but, since I’ve returned, I have been writing every day. Poems, essays. My perspective has changed completely, and I feel utterly calm. Not sure if that’s a jet lag hangover or not, but I think I have come to terms with a lot of life that I can’t change.
M.J. Iuppa, Imagine beauty. Imagine Sicily
For the last week, I’ve lived in the land of the long blink. We arrived home eight days ago from the aforementioned intense trip to Europe, and I dutifully took sunlit walks to reset my body clock, swallowed melatonin at the appointed hours, and vigorously swept out my email inbox–begone, reference letters and peer review!–while getting organized for a spousal birthday and our son’s impending six weeks at the Ross Mathematics Program in Ohio.
I was plenty busy, in other words, but not desperately so, and as I ticked off the most urgent tasks, I found myself revving down. You know, my brain said Wednesday morning, before you work on permissions inquiries, there’s this poem idea. And on Friday morning, over breakfast by an open window, Hey, you haven’t taken a three-day weekend just to read and cook and hang out for a long, long time. As I let myself do less, I started getting sleepier and sleepier, “After Apple-Picking” style. The past few nights I’ve been unable to keep my eyes open much past 9 p.m. […]
Now I’m catching up with poetry in books and magazines. The new Ecotone is on my desk and, as always, it’s full of loveliness. It often contains a powerful poem by a writer I’ve never heard of, and this time that’s “Coywolf” by Katie Hartsock. I also especially enjoyed the opening note by Anna Lena Phillips Bell discussing the departure from the magazine of Beth Staples, who will move to this sleepy town come August and take over Shenandoah. I’ll be reading poetry submissions under her editorship and I’m beyond excited about the magazine’s transition. I’m nervous about the workload, too, but my term on AWP ends in October, and being a trustee during that organization’s recent changes has involved plenty of time and worry. I’m eager, at any rate, to spend time in a different region of the po-biz.
Lesley Wheeler, Hundred-year nap
I often, in the grim thick of it, wonder why I travel, and why I try to get my work published. I can’t explain either, except for some complex cocktail of ego, hubris, drive, curiosity, and this need to connect, perhaps. We sat by a tidal river in a funky little place that was playing Steely Dan, BB King, Supertramp, and ate crustaceans that we don’t usually eat, bristling with claws and exoskeleton, toasting Anthony Bourdain’s memory. We left hungry but feeling like we’d accomplished a small thing, as I felt when I heard of my finalist spot. Staying home is nice too. Not doing the research required to send work out, not girding the loins for the inevitable rejections, just either doing the writing or doing something else entirely — that’s nice too. But before long I start listening keenly to others’ tales, pore over maps, surf the Poets &Writers deadline pages, pack my bags and set out. Again and again. That’s the only Way.
Marilyn McCabe, Long, Winding; or, Getting Published
I was camping in Whitby for a few days over half term and The Sick Bag Song was my holiday read. It’s a fragmentary road trip, part prose, part poem. The Sunday Times described it as ‘About as rock’n’roll as you can get …’ but despite being a music fan, I read it because [Nick] Cave gives some great insights into creativity and how writing happens. For example, he tells a story about a visit to Bryan Ferry’s house where he falls asleep by the swimming pool.
I awoke to find Bryan Ferry in his bathers, standing in the swimming pool. He was white and handsome and very still.
I haven’t written a song in three years, he said.
Why? What’s wrong with you? I said.
He gestured, with an uncertain hand, all about him.
There is nothing to write about, he said.
That night I sat at my desk writing in a frenzy – page after page – song after song …
(Nick Cave, The Sick Bag Song, Cannongate, 2015)
I don’t know how true this story is, but it’s interesting to me on so many levels – the idea that success can lead to a loss of creative drive and energy, that sometimes you don’t feel like anything around you is interesting enough to write about (especially if what surrounds you is luxury) etc. But it also interests me that Cave says he fed off that experience like a vampire, that somehow seeing Ferry blocked unleashed a torrent of writing in himself. Surely that’s fear of failure? But it’s being channelled into something productive.
Julie Mellor, The Sick Bag Song
A little peek at the change of seasons – here, sunflowers are blooming and they’ve attracted goldfinches! Another sign of summer? Butterflies and…we went to an outdoor concert (I haven’t been healthy enough to go to a concert for over a year and a half!) at beautiful Marymoor Park – KT Tunstall, Better Than Ezra, and The Barenaked Ladies – where the first two acts were really fun, and I caught a guitar pick from the lead singer of Better Than Ezra, but then – it started raining a few drops, then boom! We were evacuated because of lightning! If you’ve ever seen a large park full of concert goers emergency evacuate, it’s a mess – and I was holding a metal cane and a metal umbrella – talk about lightning rods! I also got to attend the prenuptial reading at Elliot Bay for Kaveh Akbar and Paige Taylor, who invited a ton of friends to read with them at Elliot Bay – it was like a baby AWP! Much less lightning. Poetry folks everywhere and standing room only. What a fun way to celebrate the beginning of a marriage.
Jeannine Hall Gailey, New Review of PR for Poets, Mermaid, Faerie Magazine, and Me, and the Latest in Poetry Life, Early Summer Edition
In the first of my explorations of poetry used in modern music, I will shine the light in the direction of top UK poet Benjamin Zephaniah.
Benjamin Zephaniah appeared on the first Imagined Village album, where he performed a retelling of the old English poem Tam Lin in words that would speak to our current times, picking up the hot potato of asylum and immigration.
This was the first of Imagined Village’s three albums, and it seemed deliberate that for this first album they employed well-known names such as Billy Bragg and Paul Weller – great musicians and a little controversial.
Benjamin Zephaniah has never been one to shy away from controversy, but in the nicest and most morally upstanding of ways – namely his rejection of his OBE. “OBE” means “Order of the British Empire”. Zephaniah said, ‘Me? I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought. I get angry when I hear that word “empire”; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds me of thousands of years of brutality…’
Catherine Hume, Benjamin Zephaniah
At school we had to pray they’d be forgiven,
those trespassers, who rambled viking fells,
ghylls and cloughs, sour gritstone moors
and green lanes cropped by mourning sheep.
They knew the land they walked should not be owned,
wished it was theirs; coveted the cottages
of the small stone villages, their tidy gardens.
Those men like my father the woollen spinner,
namer of birds; presser of wild flowers.
John Foggin, Fathers’ Day
John Foggin pays tribute to a multi-talented, hardworking father with three poems. His post struck a chord:
My father won the Art Prize in his final year at Secondary Modern school, aged 14. He wanted to go to art college but obeyed his father’s instruction to get a proper job: a nine-year apprenticeship as a coach painter, three years in the RAF regiment as a signaller, and an ever after of hard graft with overtime, latterly spraying cars for a local car dealership. Early retirement with a heart condition afforded him time to indulge a long-denied passion for painting and sketching, and a dawning realisation of repressed left-handedness (his legacy to me, perhaps). He died too young, aged 63.
Jayne Stanton, Fathers and the poems they inspire
A few weeks ago, I had dinner with a young relative who is a biology student at the University of Oregon. She mentioned that one of her favorite things to do is to look at the university library’s vast collection of amateur field notes. At that moment, I realized that “Field Notes” was the working title for my new collection. Of course. It was perfect.
Here are some “Field Notes” I’ve collected since April:
Joshua Trees look like lions in an infrared photo
fog is my weakness
let’s re-wild each other
clay – what the hell
“Bad” means “bath” in German
zucchini – what a giver you are
ever left something outside long enough for the weeds to grow around it?
a bit of earth
I need a garden to stay sane
save me blueberry
Erica Goss, Field Notes
The Three Poems by Emily Paige Wilson in Longleaf Review are thrilling in their use of language, like a trapeze artist making us hold our breath until the triumphant end. I love, love, love how she weaves together herbal lore, earth treasures, and the human body into her verse in the most unexpected ways, especially in “Poet as Doctor (II)”:
Write perfume in cursive until the pneumonia
in your lungs loosens. Thread silver through
your teeth to tempt splinters from your skin.
Dissolve geode into fine grains on your tongue,
swallow to ease the gout out of your teased
and tangled toes.
Charlotte Hamrick, Poems I’m Mad Over Right Now
When I first learned about erasure poetry, I was enamored with the form. The idea that a poem could be hidden inside any text was intoxicating—a challenge I insist on pushing to the limit. There are so many variables: your source text, your mood, whether you’re working by hand or on computer, the marker or pencil you pick up, how quickly your eye scans across the page. I love that there is no one way to write erasure poems, that each writer’s process is a little bit different.
6 Styles of Erasure Poetry – guest blog post by Erin Dorney (Trish Hopkinson’s blog)
So what does this mean? For one, it means that whether or not anyone agrees with my reasons for withdrawing, I can rest for a little while, because it’s done. I’ve made it official. And working at the college for the past year — maybe even the past two years — has been incredibly draining. I need some time to mellow out.
To be honest, it’s a little jarring and I’ve spent the last week feeling largely unsettled. I’ve done a little bit of everything but not a great deal of anything. I suppose that’s healthy to some degree, but it’s a strange feeling. I’ve been reluctant even to write in this blog, mostly because I don’t know what to say. I keep writing and deleting sentences. I’m reluctant to invite judgment, I suppose — particularly my own.
Sarah Kain Gutowski, More Ineffectual Shouting Into the Void
What I am reading this Sunday:
Boyishly, by Tanya Olson (YesYes Books, 2013)– this is an amazing book, winner of an American Book Award, which I just picked up again and could not put down. Again. The preface poem, “Exclude all other thoughts” brings us mouth to mouth with a corpse in a intimate parable of how to keep the dead, dead. These poems are full of imagining how to be: how to be “boyish”, how to be in the whale’s belly, how to cross the street; “how hard it is not to buy a tiger”; how to be an “old, old, old” woman; finally, how to die “with a giant wad of love jamming up your heart.” Buy this book. Here. Read it. You won’t be disappointed.
Risa Denenberg, Sunday Morning Muse with Book of Poems in Hand and
He could heal them with a single
word if they had faith.
He unrolls his yoga mat
to join them as they arch
into dog shapes and fish curves.
He’s been crucified on a cross.
He thought he understood the limits
of human pain. But on this hard, wood
floor, he senses yet another threshold.
Kristin Berkey-Abbott, Poetry Monday: “Son Salutation”
At the moment of her death
she saw 10,000 children
their white scarves streaming.
At the moment of his death
he heard the pages of his open book
riffling in a stiff breeze.
Dick Jones, Ars Moriendi

relying on the grinding roller device which hangs under the host’s star rack, materials revolve around the vertical axis on the one hand and rotate on the other hand. because of the eccentric force brought by revolve and rotation, the grinding roller device swings outwards to press against the grinding ring, so that the shovel blade can send materials into the space between grinding rollers and the grinding ring.
0. the difference between a roller mill and a hammer mill is: a hammer mill uses rotating hammers to pound grain through a screen and it requires a lot of horsepower. you get a lot of powder with larger deviation from the hammering. a roller mill uses cylindrical rollers that grind the grain when it goes through them, which requires less
advantages of roller mills. 1. produce more uniform, fewer fines, and oversized particles when it comes to product quality. 2. generates less heat (0 – 3 0 c) unlike hammer mill that generates up to 10 0 c. 3. less moisture loss. 4. better work environment due to low machine noises level.
pictured above is the hammer mill grinder mixer. in contrast, the roller mill grinder mixer operates at a much slower speed than the hammer mill grinder mixer. this type of grinder produces a more consistent particle size with increased bulk. the variable parameters of the roller mill are feed rate, quality of feed, and power to the roller mill
cage mills are mechanical impact machines that crush, grind, or pulverize a variety of materials to specified degrees of fineness. they can be configured in two, four, and six row designs depending on the specific application needs, and are commonly used to pulverize industrial materials including coal and agricultural limestone.
hpgr technology as an alternative to crushers and mills hpgr technology is a qualified alternative for large-scale comminution circuits and is becoming increasingly popular. the technology's working principle is that two counter-rotating grinding rolls expose a column of material to high pressure, which is distributed across the gap between the rolls.
used in mining applications for the last 30 years, high pressure grinding rolls (hpgr) reduce particles by compressing and crushing the feed between two counter rotating, parallel rollers with a small gap between them. this forces the rocks against each other and compresses the feed’s density to 80% of its solid volume, exceeding its compressive
the two rollers, rotating in opposite directions, exert very high pressure on the material, effectively crushing and weakening the particles (microscopic cracks), so that the subsequent fine grinding is easier. when used as a pre-grinding system in ball mill circuits, production increases of up to 100% and more can be achieved. read more

Will Ospreay was able to hit Taichi with the Storm Breaker to gain the pinfall victory. Afterwards, Ospreay picked up the Never Openweight Championship, hinting towards a future encounter between himself and Taichi.
The entirety of Los Ingobernables de Japon enter the ring before their match, with Naito taking to the mic in order to introduce the newest member to the collection: Shingo Takagi.
Los Ingobernables de Japon (BUSHI, SANADA, Shingo Takagi, & Tetsuya Naito) defeat CHAOS (Kazuchika Okada, SHO, Toru Yano, & YOH) via pinfall.
Tagaki hit his finisher, Last Falconry, on SHO in an impressive debut.

KUSHIDA defeats Marty Scurll via pinfall with Back To The Future to win the vacant IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship.
Hiroshi Tanahashi defeats “Switchblade” Jay White via pinfall.
As Jay White was readying himself to hit his finisher, Blade Runner, Tanahashi is able to roll White into a small package. The Ace retains the G1 Climax 28 Winner’s Contract, guaranteeing his spot at Wrestle Kingdom 13.
Kenny Omega (c) defeats both Cody Rhodes and Kota Ibushi via pinfall after hitting the One-Winged Angel on Ibushi to retain the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
With King Of Pro Wrestling done, the table is set for our Wrestle Kingdom 13 main event, with Tanahashi and Omega both coming out victorious despite steep competition.
A War Of Ideologies
Post-match, Kenny gets on the mic and declares that he won’t leave until Ibushi and Cody are standing with him. He speaks briefly on Wrestle Kingdom and makes specific mention that today’s main event may not have been what the fans were expecting. He also tells Cody, Kota, The Young Bucks, and even Cody’s dog, Pharoh, that he loves them all.
As he winds down, ready to say goodbye (and goodnight), Tanahashi appears.
Tanahashi confronts Kenny, making sure to highlight that this is New Japan. It looks like they’re doubling down on Tanahashi not respecting Omega’s in-ring style and attitude for their feud.
It’s deeper than just wanting a title shot – it’s a core difference of ideology and in-ring principles, which makes their inevitable clash all the more intriguing – and personal – come January 4th.

It’s official, back to school season is literally around the corner! So I’ve put together a list of some awesome ideas for breakfast to get you prepped and ready to hit the books. It’s not a secret that breakfast is my favourite meal of the day so of course I had to start off the back to school series with some super easy healthy breakfast recipes to keep you and your tummy happy. Eating a healthy breakfast will make the biggest difference in your mood, concentration and will keep you awake and energized in those uncomfortable desks, all lecture long.
I’m sure some of you love school, others can do without. But learning, whether you do it in a work environment, or a school environment, is always going to help you push further, and reach whatever goals you have for yourself. I love HealthNut Nutrition, it’s my passion and it allows to me learn and create new things every single day! And I would love to go back to school to study Nutrition. It would only increase my love for food and health and help me, help you, be even fitter, healthier and happier!
On that note, I’m going to be sharing my three favourite back to school breakfast recipes that you can make the night before so you don’t have to think about it in the morning, just grab and go. I’m also partnering up with the lovely peeps over at Manitoba Harvest to show you one of my favourite super foods, Hemp Hearts! My goal is to show you how easy it is to combine Hemp Hearts into different breakfast options so you can get the nutritional benefits from them like plant-based proteins and omega 3 & 6 fatty acids. Plus they’re Canadian so that makes them even cooler, haha!
My first healthy back to school breakfast option is my Mini Spinach and Mushroom Egg omelette. These are perfect to make at the beginning of the week to then store in the fridge for breakfast throughout the week. There’s protein from the egg, healthy fats from the coconut milk and lots of veggie power from the mushrooms and spinach. For all those savoury breakfast lovers, this one’s for you. These also work great as an afternoon snack when you get home feeling hungry, and want to keep it healthy. It happens to the best of us.
Next we’ve got a smoothie ‘cause you know I love me some blended veggies and fruit, sounds appetizing right? But seriously you can pack in so many nutrients into a single mason jar by blending it all up and drinking it first thing in the morning.
I love this Mango Berry Hemp Smoothie because it’s creamy, sweet and super energizing. Plus, the addition of Hemp Hearts gives you some plant protein – a great alternative to protein powders, which I know some people don’t like. Hemp Hearts add a creamy texture and work amazing in smoothies like this one. This next one has kind of been a new obsession of mine. My Peaches and Cream Overnight Oats has been a go-to lately when I know I’m going to be rushing the next morning, which happens a lot.. surprise surprise.
I made this with coconut milk yogurt and Hemp Hearts so it’s not only vegan but packed with plant-based protein to keep you full. There’s nothing worse than eating breakfast to then only be hungry in 30 min when you actually sit down for class. You’re going to love this one, trust me.
Whether you’re a parent, student or teacher, I hope these healthy ideas for breakfast help you stay on track for healthy, less hectic mornings and get you ready for the month of back to school.
This post was sponsored by Manitoba Harvest but all opinions and thoughts expressed were my own. I stand by this brand and have been using their Hemp Hearts for years and love them.

City Opera House
With Guest Host Doug Stanton
Susan Casey is the New York Times bestselling author who travels to the edges of the earth and the depths of its oceans, to explore new realms. In Voices in the Ocean: A Journey Into the Wild and Haunting World of Dolphins, she turns her storyteller’s art to dolphins—playful mammals that can count, deduce, throw tantrums, call each other by name, and rescue themselves and humans, too. USA Today calls the book “painstakingly researched and gorgeously written.”
Casey is our tour guide to all things fantastic and mysterious in the inner space of our oceans. She explores the shining moments of our relationship with dolphins, but also delves into the shadows where they are violently captured, slaughtered or sold.
Casey begins with a pod of spinner dolphins that surround Casey while she is swimming near Hawaii. She then dives into the complicated kinship humans feel for the mischievous and intelligent animals. She explores the career of controversial dolphin researcher John Lilly and the Hawaiian community that believes dolphins are key to spiritual transformation.
Casey’s previous book, The Wave, reports on rogue waves and the people who love them. In The Devil’s Teeth, she writes a lively portrait of the scientists who mix it up with great white sharks on a Northern California island.
An avid swimmer and diver, Casey is the former editor-in-chief of O — The OprahMagazine and a National Magazine Award winner whose work has been published in Esquire, Outside and National Geographic.
Don’t miss this conversation on the enlightened nature of dolphins and what they have to teach us.
ABOUT GUEST HOST DOUG STANTON
Doug Stanton is co-founder of the National Writers Series and author of New York Times bestsellers In Harm’s Way and Horse Soldiers, which have been optioned for television and film, respectively. His writing has appeared in the country’s top magazines and he’s appeared multiple times on The Today Show, Morning Joe, CNN, FOX, Imus, and other national media. He received an MFA from the Writers’ Workshop at the University of Iowa and lives in his hometown of Traverse City.
Listen in on this extraordinary event where you’ll discover that dolphins are enlightened creatures with an astounding degree of selflessness. They have much to teach humanity about how to behave with each other—and the planet.

An enhanced version of Laboratory Corp. of America’s HCV GenoSure NS3/4 test capable of determining whether patients have the hepatitis C virus Q80K polymorphism is now available, the company said in a news release.
The test has increased importance after the FDA’s recent approval of Olysio (simeprevir, Janssen Therapeutics), an NS3/4 protease inhibitor that is significantly less successful at delivering sustained virologic response among patients with the naturally occurring Q80K polymorphism.
In two studies considered by the FDA’s Antiviral Drug Advisory Committee in November, a combined 84% of treatment-naive genotype 1a patients without Q80K achieved SVR12 while receiving Olysio, compared with 58% of patients with Q80K. Fifty-two percent of patients with Q80K in the placebo arm also reached SVR12.
In another study analyzing patients who previously relapsed using Olysio, 78% without Q80K achieved SVR12 compared with 47% of those with Q80K. Also, 30% of placebo patients with the polymorphism achieved SVR12.
Based on these results, Janssen advises that patients be screened for Q80K before Olysio is prescribed and to use a different therapy if Q80K — found in about one-third of HCV patients — is present, according to the release.
The test also provides resistance information related to use of HCV drugs Victrelis (boceprevir, Merck) and Incivek (telaprevir, Vertex Pharmaceuticals), the release said.
