We all can vividly remember ourselves or one of our friends having trouble with learning during school years. It is okay if we struggled with our grades. Children and students are often under sheer pressure to gain good grades and stand out. Many educated parents even cannot understand the fact that they cannot push their children beyond a specific limit.
Every individual has a different learning potential and intelligence quotient. If your one kid is good at math and the other is not, you cannot compare them. Teachers often deal with such situations at school, wherein they help their students to overcome their learning difficulties.
Even if you are working in an organization, you can also need help to vent out and find solutions to what is bothering you. Be it a student or an employee, at one point, we all need someone to talk to, who will understand and help us find ways instead of taking it in the wrong direction. Employed individuals often suffer burnout and work stress, which leads to physical and emotional turmoil. Counselors can play a vital role in reducing stress and talking a person through the problems.
People find the subject of psychology fascinating. Some people want to help others relieve them of their mental burdens; such individuals can register for an online counseling degree and start helping individuals. There are many career pathways in the field of psychology and counseling. The position of education counselors is highly in demand by many institutions. Educational counselors play a vital role in helping a student to identify their strengths, potentials, and even improving their self-esteem. Let us explore the positive impact of educational counselors on our future.
Growth and development
The human body is continually developing physically, mentally, and emotionally. It faces many issues that might appear simple to us, but they are like a maze. An education counselor can facilitate individuals in understanding the changes that are happening around them. Growth is a continuous process, and our emotional state also changes with time. Many fresh graduates or internees are worried or confused about handling the physical and emotional changes; this is where they can talk to a counselor to seek help. Adolescents and emotional changes can shake many people off the ground if they are unaware of how to process and adapt to these changes.
Choosing the right career
We all know what happens in the tug of war. The one who pushes the rope with more strength wins the game. Students, such as high school students, have the task of choosing a subject to pursue a career in it. At that time, they are like the rope that gets tugging between their choice and parental pressure.
Education counselors have the responsibility of preparing students mentally for the world outside the school walls. Student counselors play a crucial role in helping students to nurture their strengths and interests that match their career path.
Many people often stay under the belief that they are not good enough, or they cannot do anything in life. Such individuals are victims of low self-esteem and create a lot of trouble in personal and professional life. Professional experience requires a person to be confident and vocal about their skills. People with low self-esteem often do not apply or choose their desired careers due to the belief that they cannot do it. Education counselors can identify such issues while inside the institutional boundaries and help him improve his self-esteem.
Developing problem-solving approach
Many of us freak out whenever we are under stress or come across a hurdle. People who have a problem-solving approach towards their professional challenges can excel better than others. Professional life is not smooth, but it is more about the competition among your colleagues who also have equal education as yours.
Counselors can evaluate a person’s problem-solving skills while they are in their training years. They support them to act calmly under stress and think of the best possible solutions to their professional lives.
Besides having a professional degree, some professional designations require you to upgrade your knowledge for a promotion or prove your competency. Many employers encourage their employees to opt for further educational qualifications to grab more opportunities. Pearson Accelerated Pathways are among such institutes that believe in providing opportunities at a professional level to help employees strengthen their pedagogical skills. Consulting an educational counselor for gaining insights about your vocational education can help choose the right diploma or certificate relevant to your skills and knowledge.
Our primary intention is to make a successful career out of it while we are getting an education. We all had this tuning while we were students, and now as a parent, we project the same at our kids. Education is a lifelong journey, but pushing a child beyond its mental and emotional capacity can result in disasters. We might not do it intentionally, but our kids suffer, and if the educational institution does not have any educational counselor, then your kid may suffer. An educational counselor can have a long-lasting impact on a person’s future. They can help a child and an individual to shine and identify their potentials. Not every child has to be a doctor; some can do wonders while enjoying the profession they love. A counselor can act as a great mediator between parents, teachers, employers, and individuals and can bring them on one page.

Today we're sitting, trapped in the tent this morning due to steady rain.
We made it 100 miles to White Pass, it was not hard. There was no snow and the trail was beautiful. We hiked 21 miles the first day, then 19, 17, 14, 12, 15 so it was 6 days in the wilderness. Food turned into something else for us quickly, we had enough but it would have been nice to have more snacks. We dreamed about Mexican restaurants and pizza and ice cream. I didn't keep a good journal day to day but I'm gonna start that on the next segment.
We had a lot of time to think while hiking. Sometimes we were silent, sometimes we'd talk for hours. You start remembering things you haven't thought of it a long time, the powers of wonder and imagination are amazing and keep you always entertained. Some parts of the trail are more of a journey through your mind then through the forest. Sometimes the trail looks exactly the same, dense jungle for 10 miles and that will make your thoughts and attention focus inward. Other times you walk along some beautiful ridge with what we call "sweeping views" and those times you generally think about the scenery. It's nice to switch back and forth, the Pacific Crest Trail is awesome!
We aren't in pain much. My backpack started a little heavier on day one and after 19 or 20 miles we were extremely fatigued. Maggie's feet have been in pain sometimes where the break happened last year. But as our packs got lighter, as we ate the food, and on the days we hiked less miles, we felt great. Smooth sailing.
By the end our packs felt so light and the mosquitoes chased us out of the woods the last 10 miles to White Pass where we were welcomed with open arms. The lady, Terry, at the gas station "Kracker Barrel store" let us sit around for hours. We met two other hikers Jacob and Alexis, who had hiked through Oregon on their way to Canada. The best part of this trip has been all the characters we've met along the way. When you meet someone else hiking far on the PCT, you always stop and chat for at least five minutes. We remember everyone we've met and talked about them all. Wondering about their lives and comparing them to each other is fun.
We made friends with these two and Terry put us all to work stocking shelves and unloading boxes. We found fudge and crackers in the hiker free box and then we were given little pizzas and then we were given all the nasty gas station burritos and pizza pockets we could eat and beer that she let us drink in the store and soda and then Jacob and Alexis unloaded the extra food to us. We filled a huge bag with 20 pounds of awesome packaged hiking food, like peanut butter and Snickers, and tortillas, granola bars soft and crunchy. Danishes and crackers and beef jerky and fruit leather and M&Ms.
It was amazing we are thrilled to have all this wonderful extra food. It was difficult to pack it all, Maggie is going to take my clothes and sleeping pad and rain gear in her bag and my bag is just food! So much food. Bursting completely full of food. I have 40 to 50 pounds of food. And we're gonna need it! Next segment we're plunging into the epic Goat Rocks wilderness that have been on my mind for a while now. It's the highest point on the Washington PCT at 7500 feet and it's a very steep, probably snow-covered climb to get up there and then down the other side.
We had planned originally for this to be a 10 day trip but now have found there's a road we'll cross that will take us to a Buddhist temple with rooms for 20$ night. So we'll go there to break the trip up into two 5 day segments. We've talked to so many people who had come from Goat Rocks, we've been unsure if we can do it. Some have said they are horrible and must be detoured, some have said "YOU CAN'T SKIP THE GOAT ROCKS!" And everything in between. It's one day up the snow, then one day across a famous rich called knife's edge which is supposed to be snow free, and then one day down the snow at dastardly Cispis pass and after that you're on the other side. We're going to try! I'll let you know how it goes but for now we have to wait out this rain. Terry let us camp out behind the store, and who should show up but our friend Jess who we've met three times now and have been texting back and forth about our progress Jacob Alexis and Jess hung out with us late into the night and we camped together. It's been a lot of fun, today it's time to take care errands and such.

Hornets Fall to Bulls in OT at Spectrum Center
Howard Scores 25, Grabs 20 Boards in Birthday Loss
By Matt Rochinski, hornets.com
See what you've missed from the:
Check out video coverage from:
Dwight Howard scored a game-high 25 points and brought down 20 rebounds to go with six blocks but the Hornets could not get their big man a win on his 32nd birthday, falling to Chicago, 119-111, in overtime on Friday at Spectrum Center.
After rallying to force overtime, Charlotte came out flat in the extra session, connecting on just 14.3 percent (1-of-7) of its field goals, none of its three-point attempts (four) and 37.5 percent (3-of-8) of its free-throw attempts. Despite never leading in the extra session, the Hornets had a chance to tie things up with 1:32 remaining in the OT but Nic Batum’s three-pointer from the left baseline was off the mark. Lauri Markkanen connected on two free throws on Chicago’s ensuing possession to give the Bulls a 115-110 cushion with 1:04 remaining as they took the road victory.
Hornets Player of the Game (Pick up your Dwight Howard gear here)
Dwight Howard became the first Charlotte player to record 25+ points, 20+ rebound and 5+ blocked shots in one game, finishing with 25 points, 20 rebounds and six blocks. It marked Howard’s second 20+ point, 20+ rebound game this season. He is tied with Detroit’s Andre Drummond for second in the NBA this season. New Orleans’ DeMarcus Cousins leads the league with three. Howard is the third Charlotte player to record multiple 20/20 games in a single season (Larry Johnson, 93-94 and Emeka Okafor, 07-08).
Bulls Player of the Game
Lauri Markkanen scored a team-high 24 points on 8-of-15 shooting (53.3 percent) from the field, 3-of-5 (60.0 percent) from long range and 5-of-5 (100 percent) from the charity stripe. He also led Chicago with five points in overtime. Markkanen added 12 rebounds to record a double-double.
Kemba Walker finished with 20 points and five assists. He recorded his 3,000th career field goal and now has 3,004. Walker joins the franchise’s all-time leading scorer Dell Curry as the only two players in Charlotte history to make 3,000+ field goals… Marvin Williams had a season-high-tying 17 points tonight on 6-of-11 shooting including 3-of-5 from behind the three-point line… Treveon Graham posted a season-high-tying 12 points, including nine in the fourth quarter… Nic Batum dished a season-high 10 assists tonight (previous: 7 vs. CLE 11/15) and added nine points and six rebounds… The Hornets recorded 11 blocks, with four players registering at least one, including a season-high six from Dwight Howard (previous: four, done multiple times)… The Hornets are now 6-1 when leading after three quarters of play.
Quote of the Night
“We just didn’t make enough plays down the stretch. There were times in the game where I felt like we were making runs, pushing them to the brink but we just couldn’t put them away. They fought hard. They played hard. They got stops. They made shots and they won the game.” - Marvin Williams
The Hornets close their four-game homestand with a 7 p.m. tip on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The game can be seen on Fox Sports Southeast or heard on WFNZ or on the official Charlotte Hornets mobile app.

Harry Potter (7 Book Series) by J. K. Rowling
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
Of course Harry Potter gets a 5/5 for the whole series. This was a fantastic set of novels which follows Harry, who finds out he’s a wizard on his 11th birthday. He makes friends with Ron, a lower class redhead, and Hermione, a mudblood (someone with one full wizard parent and one full human parent [or muggle]). Each story has Harry one year older than the least, and each features an adventure that is relatively age appropriate for Harry, as well as age appropriate for the readers who started the book when they were eleven years old, following Harry as he ages and gains knowledge as well.
The order of the novels is as follows:
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone which features Harry’s beginning adventures and the base for his path as a wizard. Harry, Ron, and Hermione know that someone is trying to steal the Sorcerer’s Stone to gain everlasting life, and Harry must stop them before his nemesis, Voldemort, finds physical form once more.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets bring in Ron’s little sister, Ginny, who is used as a scapegoat by Voldemort’s memory as Tom Marvolo Riddle to reopen the Chamber of Secrets and achieve Harry’s death with the basilisk that lay within.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban features Sirius Black, a prisoner at the wizard prison of Azkaban, and also, Harry’s godfather. While he is associated with Voldemort, Harry finds that his godfather just ants to be a part of his life and to help him bring down Voldemort.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is by far my favorite of the seven novels. Wizards from other schools come to compete in the triwizard tournament, a wizarding tournament to show unity between the wizarding schools. Only upperclassmen are allowed to enter, but someone has placed Harry’s name in the cup to enter the tournament, and Harry comes face-to-face with a reborn Voldemort.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix brings Harry and friends to form their own magical defense class and association called Dumbledore’s Army, where wizards can learn how to defend themselves with the looming threat of Voldemort’s resurrection. In this novel, the new defense against the dark arts teacher, Umbridge, is awful, and the Ministry of Magic is growing corrupt.
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince features a potion book with full notes written by the half-blood prince, who happens to be Professor Snape. Snape has the appearance of a bad guy, but thankfully, Snape has always been on Harry’s side. This novel also introduces the horcruxes, items that Voldemort has split his soul into in order to avoid death. By destroying the horcruxes, Harry can thus destroy Voldemort.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows is the only one of the seven novels where Harry and friends are no longer in school. They basically ditch out on Hogwarts in order to find and destroy the Horcruzes. Many lives are lost in this novel, but it is an important read. This book also reflects on The Tale’s of Beedle the Bard, a collection of wizarding short stories.
I wasn’t originally going to review this series, but I had to, even if it was a very shortened view of the whole set, because DUH, you should read this. Sadly, I do know people who have neither read the books nor seen the movies (and once again, sadly, I know people who haven’t seen Star Wars!) This series is a wonderful read and it’s good to start this one when you are around the age of the protagonist. Also, as many of you may already know, J.K. Rowling has a new Harry Potter tie in coming out later this year, so brush up on your Harry Potter novels in preparation for her new installment!

I am a Deadhead and musician and I learned a lot from this book with regards to the creation of the music itself,and Phil.A little extra here and there about Kesey and the Pranksters,and the happy and bad times with the Dead. Brutally honest..
Great read too,I bought the book as well..

I can't be qualified as true Dead Head, being born a little late and not having had the opportunity to follow the band to hundreds of shows. But I've loved their music and have been fascinated with them since I first heard "American Beauty" as a mid-70s teen. I have been fortunate to see the Dead a few times and Phil & Friends more recently. Phil's a great musician and a talented writer to boot. Hearing him narrate his own well-written story, I feel I got an insider's view to the whole Grateful Dead experience and the collective soul of the this phenomenal band. This audiobook is not to be missed if you're any kind of fan at all.

A physician-owned hospital on Chicago's south side, which posted a $1.6 million profit last year, filed for bankruptcy and closed last week.
The for-profit hospital, 200-bed Doctors Hospital of Hyde Park, is the latest in a string of for-profit hospitals and nursing homes to seek bankruptcy protection (See related story, p. 6).
In its voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petition, Doctors Hospital listed almost $24 million in assets and more than
$81 million in liabilities as of Feb. 29. The hospital filed its bankruptcy petition April 17 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Chicago.
The hospital, which had $59 million in outstanding loans, posted a profit for the 12-month period ended Sept. 30, 1999, according to the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.
The hospital is owned by James Desnick, M.D., a controversial Chicago ophthamologist, who owns all of the hospital's 100,000 shares of common stock, according to the bankruptcy filing. Desnick brought the hospital out of bankruptcy in 1992 when he bought it for $2.4 million.
Between 1984 and 1994, Desnick ran a network of eye clinics. He sold them in the face of a federal probe of his business practices.
Last year, Doctors Hospital agreed to pay a $4.5

As I've mentioned in past blog entries, NASA is funding a series of studies of Discovery missions that could make use of the newly developed ASRG plutonium power supplies. One of the most intriguing has been the Titan Mare Explorer (led by Ellen Stofan), which would put a probe on the surface of one of the lakes of Titan. Public information on the proposed mission has been scanty, but an abstract for the upcoming Division of Planetary Sciences meeting provides a few hints (and I'll add a couple of tidbits I've picked up).
From the abstract, "The scientific objectives of the mission are to: determine the chemistry of a Titan sea to constrain Titan’s methane cycle; determine the depth of a Titan sea; characterize physical properties of liquids; determine how the local meteorology over the seas ties to the global cycling of methane; and analyze the morphology of sea surfaces, and if possible, shorelines, in order to constrain the kinetics of liquids and better understand the origin and evolution of Titan lakes and seas."
I've heard through the grapevine that the instrument suite would be limited (as befits a ~$450M mission) to a mass spectrometer, a meteorology and physical properties experiment (probably several instruments in a package), and a descent and surface camera. This may compare favorably with the instrument package that was proposed for the lake lander in the Titan Saturn System Mission flagship proposal -- it's hard to tell without detailed listings of the proposed instruments. One key instrument that I haven't heard of for the proposed Discovery mission would be a gas chromatograph, which would enable detection of complex molecules. The TSSM lake lander had a combined mass spectrometer/gas chromatograph while I've heard of only a mass spectrometer for the proposed Discovery mission. It isn't clear if the gas chromatograph has been dropped, or just isn't listed.
The Discovery proposal calls for, as I understand it, six months of observations as the probe floats on the lake surface with a possible mission extension of several more months. Depending on how far the probe travels on the surface of the lake, this might allow depth measurements along a significant transect and might even bring the probe to a shore.
Editorial Thoughts: This is an exciting mission proposal. I'd love to see images from the surface of an alien ocean. The measurements of the lake composition would greatly advance our understanding of Titan chemistry.
However, there are some caveats to keep in mind. Data relay would be direct to Earth. Think of tens to hundreds of bits per second, most likely. We are unlikely to get great panoramas of photos. Think postage stamp images. Secondly, Titan is a cold place place (to put it mildly). Designing a probe that can reliably survive months on a Discovery budget may prove to be optimistic. Remember that one of the areas of technology development proposed to enable future Titan landers is technology to survive and operate in the frigid climate.
Still, I like this proposal, and hope that it is feasible in a Discovery budget.

Last October, when former Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke was found guilty in the shooting death of Laquan McDonald, the cast and crew of the new CBS drama “The Red Line” were busy filming a similar — if fictional — story of a fatal police shooting in Chicago.
The limited eight-episode series premieres Sunday. A convenience store robbery sets the narrative in motion: A bystander to the crime — a black man wearing a hoodie, picking up milk on his way home from work — is shot and killed by a white officer who is the first to arrive at the scene.
The emotional aftermath of that shooting is explored from various angles and forms the basis of the show, which promises to be something quite different from the Dick Wolf procedural world of a series like NBC’s “Chicago P.D.”
The entirety of “The Red Line” was filmed in Chicago late last year and it comes from two Chicago theater veterans, playwright Caitlin Parrish and director Erica Weiss, who have worked as a team since meeting at DePaul University. They are both credited as creators and showrunners on the CBS series, which is their first joint foray into television. Parrish is based in Los Angeles these days, where her TV writing credits include “Supergirl” and “Under the Dome”; Weiss has remained in Chicago where she continues to direct theater, most recently “Twilight Bowl” at the Goodman Theatre.
Last fall, Parrish made a short trip back to town and met with Weiss at the Chicago Studio City soundstage on the West Side where the series was based. Sitting in the living room set of one of the show’s characters, the pair talked about the surreal experience of working on “The Red Line” as the Van Dyke trial was unfolding — and ultimately decided.
“The writers room in Los Angeles actually watched the Van Dyke verdict together,” Parrish said. “We have a number of Chicago writers working on the show and we were following the case very closely, not only for professional reasons but personal reasons.”
According to Weiss, the guilty verdict did end up shaping their approach. “We’re not interested in making a show about Jason Van Dyke, he’s not a character we want to spend time with,” she clarified. “But that being said, I think a world in which a Chicago police officer can be convicted in a fatal shooting of an unarmed black man — that raises the stakes. If prison time is a reality for Jason Van Dyke, then maybe that’s possible for the cop in our show, Paul Evans.
“Because in a pre-Van Dyke era,” she said, “the odds were, nothing’s going to happen to Paul.”
From stage to screen
The show’s origins first took root with the 2011 off-Loop play from Parrish and Weiss called “A Twist of Water,” which imagined the diverging lives of a gay white father and his adopted black daughter grappling with a recent death in their family.
That play would become the basis for “The Red Line,” starring “ER” alum Noah Wyle as the father and Aliyah Royale (who competed as a designer on the tween-focused spin-off “Project Runway: Threads”) as the teenage daughter.
It is his husband — her father — who is shot and killed in that convenience store by Officer Evans, played by “Shameless” alum Noel Fisher.
The world of this small grieving family is complicated further when Wyle’s character begins a tentative flirtation with a new love interest, and Royale’s character decides, for the first time, to seek out her birth mother (played by Emayatzy Corinealdi), who has her own family and political aspirations that she’s juggling.
Yet another throughline concerns Fisher’s cop and the emotional complications that befall his personal and professional life in the wake of his fatal shooting.
The many overlapping storyline formula is what the show has in common with a series like NBC’s “This Is Us,” and longtime TV veteran Sunil Nayar, who is a showrunner on “The Red Line” as well, acknowledged the comparison: “I think that makes sense, because they both deal with different storylines that continue to intersect. Certainly people have brought up that comparison and it’s the same idea that both shows are serialized — you can’t just dip in and watch Episode 4 and understand exactly what’s going on.”
Notably, the police shooting angle wasn’t in the original play. It is the kind of big dramatic addition that might deepen the storytelling in meaningful ways. Or it might potentially overpower the show’s other threads entirely.
Preston Beckman, a former broadcast network executive who now blogs about the business of television at Revenge of the Masked Scheduler, made this observation about the show: “What might hold it back it that it’s one of those ‘thing on a thing on a thing’ shows” — the type of project that he remembers a network president once describe as “adding too many degrees of difficulty.”
Can a “This Is Us”-style family drama also support the weight of a police shooting narrative? Can CBS — a network known for its more easily classifiable procedurals such as “NCIS” — entice audiences to a more complicated portrait of law enforcement than the network’s usual fare?
“It’s a new kind of show for CBS, so the risk they’re taking on the show is not an easy one to take,” said Nayar, who described “The Red Line’s” creative approach and the network’s more typical formula as a “marriage of two different philosophies.”
“It’s the kind of show that a lot of people were surprised wasn’t on cable,” he said, “and to CBS’s credit, they picked it up.”
In a surprise move, CBS announced that “The Red Line” will air two episodes a week back-to-back, meaning the finale will air just one month after the show premieres.
According to CBS, this doubling up of episodes is an effort to “eventize” the series and “try something unique with two-hour blocks over four weeks,” said Noriko Kelley, who heads up program planning and scheduling at the network. The more pressing question may be: Is this the kind of show that can compete head-to-head with the final season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones”?
A skeptic might wonder if “The Red Line” is getting a fair shot at drawing viewers, or if CBS is burning off a show it finds somewhat confounding from a marketing standpoint. Even for original shows on its streaming site CBS All Access, the network generally releases one new episode a week. If nothing else, “The Red Line’s” scheduling is a departure from the CBS norm.
But then, so is the show itself.
A city divided
“Chicago, for all of its many wonders, is still the most segregated metropolis in America,” said Parrish. “And the idea of a gay white father and a black daughter in the same house seemed like a really interesting opportunity to examine the two Americas that are forced to live side by side, based on race.”
“Or, not side by side, in the case of Chicago especially,” said Weiss, “but separated and connected by the Red Line. So there’s our metaphor.”
Parrish: “It is a city separated by red-lining.”
Weiss: “When you ride the Red Line ‘L’ north to south or vice versa, the segregated divide becomes obvious.”
On the show, Wyle’s character lives in Edgewater. Royale’s biological mother lives in Chatham. And Fisher’s cop lives in Beverly.
The show’s creators understand “The Red Line’s” premise has the potential to get under the skin of audiences across the board.
“I would say that the first pitfall is that any audience member watching might think what Paul did wasn’t quite so bad — that if it was an honest mistake, then was it really an unforgivable sin? And for us, the answer is yes,” said Parrish. “But we think that ultimately humanizing Paul is essential for understanding him.”
Weiss’ take: “As political and as charged as this show can be, we’re not polemicists so much as storytellers. People are complicated, so to me the idea of humanizing anyone is the task of telling a story.”
“And I would argue that it’s far more dangerous to dismiss Paul as a sociopath,” Parrish added. “And I think, as far as the show, there’s a difference between humanizing and excusing.”
Part of the “The Red Line’s” focus, she said, is about “the PR machine that’s involved in cases like this. We go into: What are the connections and the nepotism and the political alliances that allow this to continue even when it’s glaringly obvious to a great many people that an injustice has occurred? Frankly, we can humanize him and condemn him in the same breath. ... But we can think he’s guilty and human at the same time.”
“And I personally don’t mind if some audience members don’t think he’s guilty, either,” Weiss said.
“A lot of audiences members won’t,” Parrish replied.
‘We are all in this together, even if we hate each other’
Parrish and Weiss have collaborated together in Chicago for nearly two decades and they said it was important to them that the TV series be based here. “When we sat down and wrote the pilot, it had to be so set in Chicago that if it ever got made, they would have to film it here,” Weiss said.
What were they interested in capturing?
“The city of neighborhoods and the specificity of the architecture that you can’t just get in B-roll,” said Weiss. “The mood. The Midwesterness of it all.”
“The tribal aspect of the city,” Parrish added. “That you can go your entire life and maybe only live in one kind of neighborhood and see one kind of person of a specific ethnicity or religion — but that all of these neighborhoods are part of the same ecosystem and are connected, whether they want to admit it or not. That I find fascinating, because it does create a sense of: We are all in this together, even if we hate each other.”
There are other small but recognizably Chicago details.
“We absolutely show dibs,” Parrish said. “And we tried desperately to get a Malört reference in there but we couldn’t make it work. But just the idea of what it is to be in (crappy) winter weather that only Chicagoans can understand. The tremendous pride Chicagoans take in this city despite the cold, despite the violence. I think there’s a generally feeling here of, we have something to prove — that we have misperceptions to correct.”
The cast of “The Red Line” features a number of Chicago theater actors including Elizabeth Laidlaw, McKenzie Chinn, Caroline Neff, Samuel Taylor, Peter Moore, Phyllis Griffin and Michael Patrick Thornton (“Private Practice”), the latter of whom plays Paul Evans’ brother, a former cop who uses a wheelchair after being shot in the line of duty. Though TV and film projects often cast abled actors in disabled roles, that is not the case here; Thornton uses a wheelchair in real life.
At the end of the day, optimism
According to Weiss, “This show needs to reach a broad audience.
“That does not have to mean that we subsume our politics to both sides,” she said, “but frankly we work with people and talk with people who do see both sides. And I think it’s important to bring those people in and to make them feel welcome when watching the show. Because otherwise I don’t know how we’re going to fix anything.”
“The thing that I keep coming back to,” said Parrish, “and the thing that interests me as a writer is: How do you move on from the worst thing that has happened to you? I have always been fascinated by the process required to triumph over grief — and not just survive, but thrive.
“You see this family, disparate at first, heal through connection — that for me is really potent dramatically. And it also speaks to the larger story about what we’re trying to say about the city of Chicago. That there have been untold instances of violence and hate in this city’s history. But what if the city could come together, ward to ward, North Side to South Side?
“We’ve never been particularly interested in grief porn,” she added. “And as horrific and tragic as the inciting incident of this show is, it has to be about hope.
“Erica and I are optimists, despite the world around us. And I think optimism at this point is a fairly radical act.”
“The Red Line” airs at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. Sundays on CBS.
More background on the series
Last fall, co-creators and showrunners Caitlin Parrish and Erica Weiss had already been hearing rumors that some members of the Chicago Police Department were less than enthusiastic about their CBS series “The Red Line.”
“There are police blogs where officers have been aware of the show and have been commenting about it,” said Parrish. “That we’re going to get it wrong and we’re a bunch of liberals who are just going to come in and say every cop is a murderer. Or racist.”
Weiss said she talked with background actors who had overheard some rumblings as well. “We often rely on actual police to help out when we’re on location and — we’re not being officially shunned, but through the grapevine there was a little bit of unease that the background extras were reporting.
“Look, this show is not going to wind up being for everyone,” she said. “I think that people can relate to Paul’s story. If not his actions, then where he comes from. And the Chicago police in general would probably find that there’s enough nuance and humanizing of all of the cops on the show — white and non-white — that they would probably not feel as castigated as their concern suggests. I would hope not.”
Parrish and Weiss said that for purposes of background research, they did have extensive conversations with two Chicago police officers — one a black woman, the other a white man — that were facilitated with the help of friends working through unofficial channels.
“It’s kind of universally acknowledged, according to the cops with whom we spoke, that the Laquan McDonald shooting was a bad shooting,” said Parrish. “And whether or not there’s a united front and solidarity ... ”
“ ... public solidarity,” Weiss interjected.
“ … that’s not necessarily true behind the scenes,” said Parrish. “However, when it comes to the majority of shooting incidents — and this will come as no surprise — cops tend to be on the side of the cop involved.”
“Or,” Weiss said, “at the very least, if not on the side of that cop, which can sound sort of knee-jerk defensive, the thing that we heard was: I wasn’t there in that situation. Especially talking to a woman who is African American and who grew up on the South Side, it was interesting to hear her perspective, which did give a lot of benefit of the doubt to the police involved. Both cops we talked to were absolutely open to having a conversation with us. But understandably, based on their race and their gender, they had very different opinions about how the CPD actually operates.
“And whether or not there was a systemic problem.”
The show’s creators also had conversations with families who had lost loved ones to police violence. “A lot of what they wanted to talk about was the person they lost, rather than a broader soap box about what’s wrong,” Weiss said. “They wanted their loved ones remembered in a real and deep way. They felt that it was so important to tell the world who this person was and that was informative to us, too. Whatever their flaws were, nothing about their stories necessitated a death sentence in that moment or beyond.”
Or as Parrish put it: “They wanted their loved ones to be remembered for more than the way they died.”

Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi / 千と千尋の神隠し) is an animated Japanese movie. It was written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It was released by Studio Ghibli in 2001. Spirited Away perpetuated the success of Princess Mononoke and became one of the highest grossing Japanese films of all time. It made over three hundred million dollars and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature. It became the first hand drawn and non-English film to do so.
Chihiro is ten years old and traveling with her parents to their new home. They drive through the woods and the road turns into dirt. The car continues and they head into a tunnel. An abandoned theme park greets them on the other side. Chihiro’s papa decides that the family should take a break and explore. Everyone jumps out of the vehicle. They are greeted by a wonderful smell.
The gang walks down the empty main street to investigate. All of the shops are restaurants. They continue and locate the source of the odor. Several delicious dishes are out in the open and no one is around. Chihiro’s parents decide to dig in and pay when the owner returns. Chihiro hesitates and decides to explore the park instead. She finds an ostentatious building and looks down at a bridge. A boy with green eyes appears. He warns her that her family is not allowed to be here and needs to cross back over the river before nightfall. The mystery boy uses a spell to send her back and she rushes towards her parents.
Ghosts materialize and roam the town. Chihiro finds her parents and discovers that they have transformed into pigs. She panics and flees for help. Her body begins to disappear as a ferry docks close by. Strange figures and spirits deboard and head into town. The protagonist continues to fade fast and the boy arrives and says he is her friend. He gives her something to eat from the spirit world and her body solidifies.
The friends cross a bridge. Chihiro is told to hold her breath to hide her presence. A frog startles her at the end and she is discovered. The boy uses a spell to stun the amphibian and they run away. An uproar follows when the smell of a human is discovered. Chihiro learns that the boy’s name is Haku. Big H tells her to ask Kamaji for work or the sorceress Yubaba will turn her into an animal.
Chihiro heads to Kamaji. He works in a large furnace and little soot ball creatures are everywhere. Kamaji asks Lin to bring Chihiro to Yubaba for employment. Lin scowls and leads her through the bathhouse. Weird and various sized creatures populate the halls. They reach Yubaba’s office and the witch berates her, but gives her the worst job available. Chihiro signs a contract and is given the name Sen.
Sen is mistreated by most of her coworkers. Lin and Kamaji show her compassion. Time passes and she invites a masked spirit named No-Face into the bathhouse. He disappears and Sen heads to her first customer. The guest is a monstrous stink spirit. Sen struggles to clean him up. When she completes the impossible task, the spirit is revealed to be a River God. He thanks her and hands her a small round ball before he flies off. No-Face witness everything from the shadows.
Sen eats and goes to sleep. She awakes and the bathhouse is exploding with activity. A dragon soars by and crashes into Yubaba’s private quarters. Sen recognizes the dragon has Haku. She hurries to his aid and passes No-Face. He showers the employees with gold and swallows a few of them after Sen leaves. She reaches her destination and Yubaba’s twin sister Zeniba appears. She casts some spells and claims that Haku has stolen a magic golden seal from her. Sen is warned that the seal is cursed. Haku destroys the manifestation of Zeniba and they all fall down into the furnace room. Sen gives Haku the gift from the stink spirit and he throws up a black slug and a seal. Sen stomps out the slug as it tries to escape. Haku switches to his human form and collapses.
Kamaji talks about Haku’s past as they recover. Sen expresses that she wants to return the seal to Zeniba to ask for her help with healing young Haku. News spreads to Sen that No-Face is rampaging in the bathhouse. She visits the massive creature and feeds him. He regurgitates everyone he has swallowed and leaves with Sen. They board a train to visit Zeniba. Yubaba is furious and threatens to kill Sen’s parents. Haku awakens and offers to find her missing son to assuage her.
Sen arrives at Zeniba’s and learns that her love for Haku has saved him and that the black slug was used by Yubaba to control him. She says she cannot save her parents, but gives her a magical hairband for protection. Haku appears and they fly back to the bathhouse. No-Face remains behind, spirited away. Haku tells stories of his past and Sen learns that he is a river spirit that she met in her past. She remembers his real name and breaks Yubaba’s spell.
It is morning when they enter the bathhouse. Yubaba brings out a selection of pigs. She offers Sen a test for her freedom. The quiz requires the heroine to identify which pigs are her parents. Sen sees through the scheme and identifies that none of the pigs are her parents. Her contract dissolves in Yubaba’s hands and Chihiro is free. Haku leads her to her parents who have no recollection of what happened. The happy family returns to their dust covered car. Chihiro looks back through the tunnel in wonderment. The car speeds off and the hairband glistens in the sun. Spirited Away ends.

Lynden Vice President of Marketing & Media David Rosenzweig’s sculpture "Gemini" made an appearance in an episode of NBC’s Grimm TV series. The episode, entitled “Kiss of the Muse,” aired May 7. Outside of work, David is a nationally recognized artist and sculptor.
“I received a phone call from a decorator who works for NBC. He said he was working on the set design for Grimm and he wanted to use one of my sculptures,” David says. The Gemini sculpture is of two dancers in the same pose, but facing opposite directions (above right). “The decorator had seen my work on the website for the Pacific Northwest Sculptors Association, and he wanted to use it in the interior of a house. This totally came out of the blue. I am thrilled.” The Grimm series is set in Portland, OR and was inspired by the classic Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales.
David grew up in Seattle and is a graduate of the University of Washington and The Burnley School of Art. He has been recognized nationally in American Art Collectors magazine as well as for his graphic art by the New York Art Directors Club and Communication Arts magazine. Over the past few years he has focused his efforts as a sculptor on his series of dance pieces. David said he finished the large version of the piece several years ago, but has been working on a smaller version for clients. More of David's work can be seen on his website: www.dance-sculpture.com

New mom Jen Schober just welcomed her son Michael into the world five weeks ago. Her priorities shifted the moment he was born.
“He comes first, that’s really the basis of it. You have to put all your needs second after him,” she said.
“I think a relationship between a mom and a child, even my own mom, there’s no relationship like it,” said Kim Cole.
Kim’s mom to 2-year-old Olivia and 6-year-old Rosie. They’ve been creating flowers and cards in school in honor of Mother’s Day.
When asked how much she loves her Mommy, Rosie said, “A lot!”
We’ve been officially celebrating mothers for more than 100 years. It started in the early 20th century with Anna Jarvis who wanted to honor her mother. She started a campaign to make it a holiday.
“At that time, women were agitating for the right to vote and I believe President Wilson thought it would be easier to honor mothers and give them platitudes than to give them actual political power,” said Monmouth University Associate Professor of History Katherine Parkin.
Wilson declared Mother’s Day a holiday in 1914. Parkin says Jarvis wanted moms to be honored with simple hand-written letters and a single flower. But it quickly went beyond just one flower.
“She’s unhappy that first the floral retailers and then card-makers like Hallmark enter the scene and try to profit from the holiday,” Parkin said.
The candy-makers jump on board too.
“She’s eventually arrested for protesting a candy sellers convention and she really becomes quite unhappy and tries to get the holiday rescinded,” Parkin said.
Businesses owners like Comfort Zone’s Steve Mandeville are thrilled that didn’t happen.
“It’s not like money is no object this year,” he said.
The National Retail Federation‘s 2015 Mother’s Day Spending Survey indicates families are spending more then ever before on their moms — about $173 this year. That’s up nearly $10 from last year — the highest amount in survey history.
“I’m seeing people come out in droves, not quite frantically yet. That will probably happen today and tomorrow,” Mandeville said.
Professor Parkin says while flowers and other gifts are sweet, Mother’s Day is a time to shed light on the cost of raising children and the number of moms living in poverty.
“Surveys suggest the value of a mother’s work is about $65,000 this year — that really reflects the work they’re doing in raising children, doing the work in home and when they’re living trying to raise their children they’re doing so in incredible financial circumstances,” Parkin said.
“I definitely have a new respect for all moms,” Jen said.
“There’s no better feeling than having children, and being a mom and honoring my own mom,” said Kim.
To all of New Jersey’s moms, Happy Mother’s Day.

Banks with a combined market capitalization of nearly $600 billion have opted for the R3 CEV distributed ledger consortium over SWIFT’s global payment innovation initiative, introduced today.
There are 45 banks in SWIFT’s initiative, which aims to make more payments data accessible to corporate treasury departments. But R3 has scored a total of 42 members to date, and the following banks have signed on with R3 and not SWIFT’s new initiative:
- BMO Financial Group
- Commonwealth Bank of Australia
- Goldman Sachs
- Macquarie Bank
- Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group
- Morgan Stanley
- Northern Trust
- OP Financial Group
- State Street
- U.S. Bancorp
- Westpac Banking Corporation
Yes, R3 and SWIFT GPI, as the new program is called, are different, but it is interesting to compare the rosters of the two payments initiatives, especially as R3 inches closer to SWIFT’s business turf. Of course, SWIFT has some big names R3 doesn’t, most notably ICICB and Bank of China, but it is surprising that SWIFT’s chief marketing officer needs to tout the participation of prominent banks as “proof of the importance of this global payments innovation initiative.”
It should be pointed out that sources tell us R3’s cost for admission is, well, “nominal” at best. But there’s a laurel to just signing up a JPMorgan Chase or Bank of America, even if no check is written to R3.

I live in Northern California, about halfway between the San Andreas and Hayward faults, in an earthquake-prone area. I’m also fascinated by science and computers. So when I saw the http://raspberryshake.org site, where you could get your own personal seismometer station and network it together with others to form a net capable of locating and measuring earthquakes, I was very interested. I have no training in seismology, but this was too interesting to pass up. It wasn’t long before I placed my order.
I got a Raspberry Shake 4D, and I have installed it in my garage. My garage has some crude plywood cabinets next to the walls. I cut out a hole in the bottom of one of the cabinets, in order to bolt the seismometer directly to the concrete slab of my garage, for the lowest noise and best sensitivity. The hole, and the unit itself, are at a bit of an angle to the wall of my garage, because this seismometer measures lateral motion, and is designed to be properly oriented toward true north. The walls of my house are oriented several degrees east of true north.
The big black box partially shown in the lower left corner foreground of the photo is a 35 amp-hour 12V lead-acid battery, acting as a backup power supply in case of utility power failure. It should be capable of running the unit for several days at least. The small box in the right foreground is a Powerwerx USB Buddy, a DC-DC switching converter that will take 10-32VDC in, and produce 5VDC out at up to 3 amps, which goes directly to the Raspberry Shake’s input connector. I supply power to the USB Buddy switching converter using either the battery or an old spare laptop adapter I had hanging around (not shown in this photo). The laptop adapter takes AC mains power and produces 20VDC output. The laptop adapter and the 12V battery are both simultaneously connected to the switching converter via diodes, so that whichever source has higher voltage will power the Raspberry Shake. I can disconnect one or the other at any time, leaving the Raspberry Shake running uninterrupted. I’ve had a similar system running some Raspberry Pi units I use for security cameras, and it has kept them running uninterrupted for years.
Silly me, I thought that, by anchoring the seismometer to the concrete slab of my garage foundation, it would be very steady, and not influenced much by people walking around in our wooden house. I underestimated how sensitive the seismometer is! It detects people walking on the sidewalk 25 feet in front of our house. It detects cars driving by. It detects people walking inside our house. It detects the washing machine spin cycle. I suppose I shouldn’t have been so surprised — it detects distant earthquakes that are very much smaller than I can feel, and it is simply accurately showing me that nearby footsteps cause disturbances that are comparable in magnitude to the earthquakes it measures. I think my seismometer is placed about as well as it can be placed in my house, but nevertheless, it senses a lot of random noise due to everyday human activities. It might be a little quieter if it were buried in the back yard, but my neighbors are close enough that it would pick up noise from their houses as well as my own. It’s a lot quieter at night.
But to put this in perspective, here’s a chart recording made during the fifth day I had my seismometer. It has one trace across the chart for every 15 minutes. The chart covers 12 hours, starting a bit more than an hour before most of us get up at my house.
You’ll notice the top few lines are fairly quiet, when we and our neighbors were sleeping. Then most of the rest of the chart has various blips on it, some possibly representing tiny earthquakes in the area of The Geysers, near Calistoga California, about 90 km away from my location, but most representing random noise from the activities of daily living in my home.
But there’s one big black squiggle, starting just after 16:00, and continuing for the better part of 15 minutes. What was that? A 7.8 magnitude earthquake across the Pacific near Fiji, about 8700 km away from my location! It took about 11 minutes for the first waves to arrive across the ocean.
None of the squiggles on this chart represent earth motion that was perceptible to any humans at or near my house. Not even the big squiggle representing the distant Fiji earthquake was perceptible here. So it gives you an idea of how sensitive the detector is, that an imperceptible distant quake is so much larger than the background noise caused by the daily activities of the occupants of my house.
The unit I purchased is the model 4D. Four dimensions? Well, sort-of. It has four channels of data. Three are using MEMS sensors, tiny microelectronic accelerometers, not that much different than what are in fitness watches or smartphones. The MEMS sensors are relatively cheap, and capable of measuring large accelerations well. The fourth channel is a vertical geophone, which is an incredibly sensitive way of measuring the up/down motion of the ground. The geophone is more expensive than the MEMS sensors, and it also has a more limited range. It “saturates” with strong motions. With this combination, I’ll get three full channels of motion (north/south, east/west, and up/down) for a nearby strong earthquake, but only one channel (up/down) for a small tremor. I’m not sure exactly where the dividing line is. So far, I haven’t seen motion sufficient to produce a noticeable signal on the MEMS sensors. I also haven’t felt any earthquakes, but my geophone has picked up a few each day.
This seismometer is the motivation for setting up the stratum-1 GPS-based NTP server in my house. This seismometer feeds data into a network of similar units. Having the data accurately time stamped is important, because the varying times of arrival at varying locations are used to determine the locations of earthquakes. That said, a local GPS is probably overkill. The seismometer takes 100 samples per second, in other words, one sample every ten milliseconds. My computer’s clock is now maintained with much better precision than that. And there are uncertainties of the local ground conditions that cause timing errors much larger than the errors in my computer’s clock. But still, having precision a couple of orders of magnitude better than strictly required never hurt anyone, did it?

This major new work on Roman London brings together the many new discoveries of the last generation and provides a detailed overview of the city from before its foundation in the first century to the fifth century AD. Richard Hingley explores the archaeological and historical evidence for London under the Romans, assessing the city in the context of its province and the wider empire. He explores the multiple functions of Londinium over time, considering economy, industry, trade, status and urban infrastructure, but also looking at how power, status, gender and identity are reflected through the materiality of the terrain and waterscape of the evolving city. A particular focus of the book is the ritual and religious context in which these activities occurred. Hingley looks at how places within the developing urban landscape were inherited and considers how the history and meanings of Londinium built upon earlier associations from its recent and ancient past.
As well as drawing together a much-needed synthesis of recent scholarship and material evidence, Hingley offers new perspectives that will inspire future debate and research for years to come. This volume not only provides an accessible introduction for undergraduate students and anyone interested in the ancient city of London, but also an essential account for more advanced students and scholars.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU READ ALL THE INFORMATION PROVIDED TO LEARN ALL ABOUT BENNY, HIS LOCATION AND ADOPTION OPTIONS.
BENNY is neutered, rabies, core vaccines, heart-worm & tick disease tested negative (4dx), de-wormed and micro-chipped. He has an estimated date of birth of 13th November 2015 and at the time of rescue December 2016, weighed approximately 48 pounds.
BENNY originally came from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs generally have just 3 days to be saved before they are killed due to the thousands of stray dogs that sadly are in desperate need of life of the streets and ultimately a home of their own. We do NOT have cats at the rescue so cannot comment on how she would behave around cats.
BENNY is a sweet affectionate boy who loves to be close by. He has lots of energy and loves to run outside. He gets on great with other dogs and lives happily with small dogs weighing 10 pounds up to large dogs weighing 95 pounds, all ages and personalities and he has no problems with any of them. He walks ok on the leash, but as with most rescue dogs, would benefit from lots of practice.
BENNY does get excited and at times does jump up, so this is something that would need to be worked on, but out of the rescue environment and in a family home with a routine and lots of love and attention all for himself he will calm down and not need to jump up for attention.
We have dog doors in the house and BENNY uses them to go out and play or to do his business, he has not had any accidents in the house, however, since he has 24 hour access to get outside it would be wise to possibly expect the odd accident until he learns his new routine and to let you know he needs to go outside.
BENNY would benefit from an active, fun family that has the time to work with him on his obedience and manners, who would take him on adventures and road trips and let him explore the sights, sounds and smells the world has to offer. He would benefit from a family that has the time to work with him on his basic and advanced obedience training. By working together both BENNY and his humans can learn each others body language and personality, expectations and boundaries can be set and with self-training a stronger bond formed. BENNY is very smart and responsive and I believe training would be relatively easy and fun.
We currently feed SPORTMIX Wholesomes Chicken Meal & Rice Formula, a 4* (a per www.dogfoodadvisor.com) GRAIN FREE food along with pro-bioitics and immune support supplements listed on the available dogs page!
BENNY is available for adoption through Give a Dog a Home, German Shepherd Dog Rescue for an adoption fee of $500. This fee is not negotiable and is used to cover the rescue costs of pulling, vetting, health certificate, transport from Texas to Maine, monthly preventatives, supplements, food and anything else that is needed.
If you feel that you have the heart and home to give this handsome boy a wonderful life, please go to our website, under the APPLICATION tab, complete, then submit the APPLICATION. Our process takes around 2-4 days, and ensuring your references are aware that we will be calling, could speed up the process. Once you have been approved, we discuss any questions in regards to the dog you are wanting to adopt, then you complete and submit the contract, make payment and then we can work out the pick up / transport arrangements.
Please do NOT submit an application if you are not looking to take home a new best friend within the next few weeks.
BENNY is located at the rescue in Sebec, Maine. We post in various states along the east coast and Canada where we have had lots of successful adoptions to enable more exposure for these beautiful saved souls. Families will need to be prepared to travel to the rescue to meet and take home their new best friend. There is a local hotel in Dover-Foxcroft that is pet-friendly (approx 6 miles) and several in Bangor (approx 45 miles). There are also lots of wonderful camp-sites for the more adventurous families and what a great way to get to know your new best friend. If there are options to arrange transport, we will work with you to make it happen.

Personal Touch nets millions for four
IT looks like being a prosperous New Year for a quartet of young insurance entrepreneurs from the West Midlands. Martin Wilson, 43, set up financial services group Personal Touch Insurance from scratch in 1994 in a room at his Solihull home. He is celebrating a multimillion pound deal after selling a 9.99% stake in the business to Dutch insurer Aegon, which owns Scottish Equitable in the UK.
Wilson owned just over half of Personal Touch. Colleagues Nigel Greenwood, 32, John Ruddick, 34, and 39-year-old Donald Chin each had an equal share in the remainder. The four are planning to reinvest their windfalls in the business.
The value of the deal was not disclosed, but analysts said the stake was likely to have been sold for £2m-£3m.
Personal Touch, still based in Solihull, has doubled its turnover year on year since it was founded. It now has 42 offices in the UK and a direct sales force of 2,000.
Aegon has bought or taken stakes in a number of independent financial adviser firms in the past six months, so it can benefit from proposed changes to the law regulating insurance sales. Under the new regime, known as depolarisation, it will be easier for life companies to provide more wide-ranging financial advice.
Mike Allison, strategic development director at Personal Touch, said: 'The investment by Aegon will help us to build on our success.'

Traffic, traffic everywhere
The United States has a traffic problem. According to the 2015 INRIX Traffic Scorecard, an annual report that analyzes and compares traffic congestion in countries and major metropolitan areas worldwide, America leads the world in hours wasted annually by commuters in traffic: American commuters sit in traffic for an average of 50 hours per year. Belgium ranked second on the list with 44 hours, followed by the Netherlands (39), Germany (38), Luxembourg (33), Switzerland (30), the United Kingdom (30), and France (28).
Of course, some cities are worse than others when it comes to congestion. Here are the ten worst metropolitan areas for traffic in the United States.
1. LOS ANGELES, CA
It probably comes as no surprise that the City of Angels has the worst traffic in the United States. In 2015, commuters wasted an average of 81 hours stuck in traffic.
2. WASHINGTON, D.C.
Drivers in the nation's capital endure an average of 75 hours of sitting in traffic each year.
3. SAN FRANCISCO, CA
San Francisco's hilly downtown streets are prone to congestion, and this city ties with Washington, D.C. for the average annual time spent in traffic: 75 hours.
4. HOUSTON, TX
With a fast-growing population that has long since exceeded roadway capacity, Houston has fallen prey to some congestion problems. The average commuter spends 74 hours in traffic each year.
5. NEW YORK, NY
The five boroughs are home to some maddening gridlock, and commuters face an annual average of 73 hours stuck in traffic.
6. SEATTLE, WA
Seattle has seen record-breaking population growth in recent years, and despite the city's emphasis on alternative forms of transportation, commuters spend an annual average of 66 hours in traffic.
7. BOSTON, MA
Boston residents spend an average of 64 hours muddling through congestion each year.
8. CHICAGO, IL
Chicagoland suffers from maddening rush-hour traffic, and commuters spend 60 hours each year caught in holdups.
9. ATLANTA, GA
Atlanta's public transportation system leaves something to be desired, and the sprawling metropolitan area is prone to gridlock, with an average of 59 hours wasted by commuters each year.
10. HONOLULU, HI
The lovely island of O'ahu is afflicted with some planning issues, and commuters spend an average of 49 hours sitting in traffic each year.
