Village of Millers Falls
Initially known as "Grout's Corner", the village of Millers Falls was founded in the early 1800's as a farm community by Martin Grout. The community developed and prospered in the mid to late nineteenth century due to its strategic location at the juncture of major railroads and to the cheap hydropower provided by the Millers River, which fostered the growth of industry including the Millers Falls Tools Company and Millers Falls Paper Company.
The architectural character of Downtown Millers Falls is largely defined by the rebuilding campaign that followed the "great fire of 1895". This fire destroyed all but one of the buildings that had previously accommodated Main Street businesses in the early years of the villages' development. The devastating fire did not dampen the spirit of progress, as Millers Falls' active trade and industry allowed for an almost immediate recovery and rebuilding of its commercial center. As a result, most of the historic structures existing on Main Street and Bridge Street today are of the late Victorian period, reflecting the post fire building campaign. One outstanding example of this architectural heritage is the Ward Block, described as "the best example of a wood framed Victorian Mansard building in the town and a focal point of Millers Falls". Others include the Equi's block, which recently underwent a major restoration effort, and the Powers Block.
In travelling through Millers Falls, one is most impressed by the human scale and charm of the village. The village center is surrounded and embraced by hills, which give the area a definite sense of enclosure and intimacy. This intimacy is also reinforced by narrow side streets, defined by stone walls, the human scale of surrounding neighborhoods, which include many late Victorian style homes with "gingerbread" detailing, church steeples and the Millers River which forms the village's northern boundary. Although the Millers River no longer plays the role that it once did in the economy of the village, it is also an important visual element.
Although Millers Falls has experienced a long period of economic decline following the departure of the traditional industries, it did undergo a major revitalization effort during the early part of this decade which was largely grown from within the community. The public portion of this effort included the upgrading of physical elements including the commercial streetscape and restoration of historic facades. The village has also experienced a growth in new businesses. More important to the revitalization, however, are the individual contributions of community residents in annual beautification campaigns, the resurrection of block parties and other special events that both bring the community together and serve as an attraction for tourists travelling along the Connecticut River Scenic Farm Byway.
Millers Falls is located on Route 63, south of Route 2, along the recently designated Connecticut River Scenic Farm Byway. The Byway follows the Connecticut River along Route 63 and Route 47in Massachusetts through the communities of Northfield, Erving, Montague (Millers Falls and Montague Center), Sunderland, Hadley and South Hadley. As a major focal point along the byway, Millers Falls is an excellent example of a traditional New England mill village. Besides the historical and cultural attractions that exist in the village center, the area surrounding Millers Falls also provides many opportunities for visitors to leave the byway for scenic and recreational enjoyment. Fishing, picnicking and canoeing, including the annual Rat River Race in nearby Orange, or just observing the beauty of white water during peak flows, make the scenic Millers River a popular regional attraction.
Nearby state park facilities and wildlife management areas also provide a good reason for a side trip. Leave the byway in the center of Miller Falls and follow directional signs to the Wendell State Forest. The forest, located just across the border in Wendell is a state park facility, which offers opportunities for swimming, hiking and fishing at Ruggles Pond. The park is also the site of the annual GMC Truck Rally. Another nearby attraction is the Montague Plains Wildlife Management Area, a fifteen hundred acre, state wildlife refuge and unique ecological area, operated by the Massachusetts Department of Fisheries and Wildlife. The "Plains" are a rare pine barren, which supports habitat for many rare plants and animals. The Montague Plains area located on a large sand delta that was formed more than 10,000 years ago when melt water streams from the retreating glaciers emptied into Glacial Lake Hitchcock, a huge lake that covered much of Montague and the Connecticut River Valley during the glacial period. The Plains are a popular attractions for nature walks, ecological field trips for the nearby University of Massachusetts and Greenfield Community College students, hunting in season (pheasant, deer and small game), dirt biking and mountain biking, and mushroom collection.
Another attraction is Beaver Hollow Wetland, a scenic overlook located on Millers Falls Road (across from the Highland Cemetery) which provides an outstanding vista of the Millers River and adjacent wetlands. This site is particularly scenic during the fall foliage season when red maples are in peak color. Not far from this overlook, a few miles down East Mineral Road, is the Cabot Camp. The camp, currently owned and used by Northeast Utilities as a meeting center, served as a toll house for tow boats and barges passing through the French King gorge during the early 19th century. Commerce on the river, above the waterfalls at Turners Falls, was made possible by the construction of a series of locks and canals at Montague City in 1798. Cabot Camp is located at the confluence of the Connecticut and Millers Rivers, beneath the well-known French King Bridge. Views of this segment of the Millers Falls riverfront, one of the most outstanding in the region, can also be viewed from the French King Bridge. The view shed includes a vista of the Waidlich Farm, which is protected under a permanent conservation easement with the state.

The 20th century has witnessed a plethora of war stories, but among them Salinger's "For Esme with Love and Squalor," a minor masterpiece as Paul Alexander calls it, stands out. It also falls among those typical Salingerian child-adult relationships that highlight the non-phony members of society with many things in common distinguishing them from the other so-called normal members of the society. In the current study, characters are studied from a psychological point of view and classified into two major groups by the researchers. The first group and the main focus of the study is the minority of society and the second group relates to the majority or commonality. The minority group includes Salinger's heroes and protagonists who are later known as psychoneurotic. This first group feels affinity to the children who are far away from the hostility and harshness of adults' world as, to Salinger, the concept of innocence means being away from the false standards and hypocrisy of the majority of the insensitive society. The researchers try to distinguish between these two groups from different psychological and psychoanalytic aspects. Despite the contrast between these two groups, there are some similarities in their sexual conceptions and psychological adjustment that clarify similarities in traits and responses in the form of adopting different mechanisms to adjust and remove tensions and alleviate anxiety employing the mechanisms Freud calls palliative remedies.

Peering into our Crystal Ball: Four NHL Predictions
Will veteran Flame Sean Monahan still be on the roster after the deadline? Photo by Mark Mauno
By George Potter, Staff Writer
The NHL offseason is finally coming to a close and opening night for the 2021-22 season is right around the corner. Is there a better time to make some bold predictions? This season is going to be very exciting to watch, and it'll be interesting to see how the return to the pre-pandemic divisions and the debut of the new team on the block, the Seattle Kraken, will shake things up. Here's what I think might be happening this season.
The Florida Panthers will have a chance to contend in the Stanley Cup
Last year, the Florida Panthers made their first playoff appearance since 2016. Rookie goaltender Spencer Knight gave great performances in his first couple of games and his first-ever start. Despite losing in the first round against the Tampa Bay Lightning, this team has a lot of potential this upcoming season.
It will be exciting to see what Knight and goaltender Sergei Bobvrosky could accomplish as they could be the top two starters this season.
Florida's defense has also shown that top point scoring defenseman Aaron Ekblad is not the only player to rely on. Defenseman Mackenzie Weeger showed his skills and work ethic when he scored 36 points in 54 games last season.
The Panthers were also able to get their hands on Sam Bennet at the trade deadline last year, who was able to score 15 points in 10 games. The club was able to sign him to a contract extension, and I think we'll see this former fourth overall pick for the Calgary Flames finally get the chance to excel in a full season.
The Panthers also picked up Sabres forward Sam Reinhart in exchange for prospect goaltender Devon Levi this offseason. Reinhart has shown his chops as a goalscorer by scoring 25 goals and 40 points last year, despite all of the losing Buffalo endured last season.
The Panthers seem to have strong offensive depth that will be fun to watch. They also signed veteran star forward Joe Thornton to a one year deal which will give him a good chance to contend in the Stanley Cup Final.
The Seattle Kraken will make a playoff spot
Don't expect the Kraken to make a Stanley Cup run in their first season like the Vegas Golden Knights did back in 2018 but this team has made a good impression this offseason. No matter what happens, this will be a season to remember for sports fans in the emerald city.
The team was able to pick up some good leaders that have playoff experience like Islanders forward Jordan Eberle, Flames defenseman Mark Girodarno, St. Louis Blues defenseman Vince Dunn, and Lightning forward Yannick Gourde during the expansion draft.
Kraken General Manager Ron Francis also made some stunning moves during free agency. He signed Colorado Avalanche goaltender and Vezina finalist Phillip Graubauer and St. Louis Blues forward Jaden Schwartz.
Thanks to the savvy moves Seattle made in their first-ever offseason, the Kraken can probably compete against some of the teams in their division and conference well enough to carve out a playoff spot for themselves.
Sean Monahan or Johnny Gaudreau could depart from Calgary before the Trade Deadline
We all know the Flames need to make some changes. The shortened 2020-21 season looked a little too familiar to Calgary fans accustomed to mediocrity, and they're getting worried about what the team's future could hold.
There's a lot of reason to be concerned about management, and it seems like the fan-favourite idea of the Flames trading for Buffalo Sabres forward Jack Eichel won't happen. But the frustrated Flames fans dying to see the organization make a splash might not need to wait too much longer.
Trade rumours about star Flames forwards Sean Monahan and Johnny Gaudreau are still very much alive. Monahan seems to be catching more attention than Johnny Hockey; the Montreal Canadiens are rumoured to have reached out to Calgary about Monahan's availability before trading for Christian Dvorak.
It would not be a surprise if one of them leaves Calgary by the trade deadline but it's still very much up in the air. How much longer they'll be calling YYC their home depends on their performance, and if they continue to underachieve, expect them to be on their way out.
Jack Eichel to Vegas
The burning questions surrounding Buffalo Sabres star Jack Eichel and his next destination have been on the minds of hockey fans and analysts alike. Will he end up with the Flames, Los Angeles Kings, Minnesota Wild, the New York Rangers, or another team? What might that deal actually look like?
Eichel's agents say there have been talks with the Sabres on moving him. That's pretty understandable. The team looked good on paper but ended last season with a 15-34-7 record. It's no coincidence that other players on the Sabres offense have been leaving Buffalo for playoff contenders.
But Eichel's health will be a huge concern for any General Manager who still wants to make a deal for him. Eichel and his agents are demanding an artificial disk replacement procedure, something that the Sabres won't allow Eichel to have.
Despite the risks, a potential deal between the Sabres and the Golden Knights has been turning the rumour mill. Vegas would receive Eichel and give up forward Payton Krebs, forward Reilly Smith, defenseman Nic Hauge and a first round pick.
A move like this wouldn't be a surprise since Vegas made moves to get players like forward Max Pacioretty, forward Mark Stone, and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.
Whether or not Vegas still wants Eichel is a huge question mark. The league's interest in him likely hinges on his injury situation. If the Golden Knights are able to get their hands on a healthy Eichel, they could have one the best offenses that the league has ever seen in its 100-year history.

Is Trump's Singapore Summit Already Unraveling?
Pompeo's post-summit mission to Pyongyang was meant to put meat on the bare-bones summit agreement—not much has come from it.
A month after the Trump-Kim summit in Singapore, euphoric U.S. claims that "there is no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea" are running into North Korean intransigence. The sparse Singapore Communique was a shaky foundation upon which to build a comprehensive agreement to compel Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear, missile and bio-chemical weapons programs.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's post-summit mission to Pyongyang was meant to put meat on the bare-bones summit agreement. His trip was a critical test of how much the two leaders had actually agreed to. Pompeo needed North Korea to affirm—publicly and unambiguously—that it would abandon its WMD arsenals in an expeditious manner. Such a declaration would combat mounting skepticism, which had been fueled by evidence that the regime was expanding its nuclear and missile programs.
It is clear that the United States and North Korea remain far apart over even the definition of "denuclearization," let alone the sequencing, linkages and timeline for achieving it. North Korea's insistence on addressing its security concerns prior to implementing denuclearization runs counter to U.S. policy and statements by senior Trump administration officials.
As a prelude to a formal peace treaty, Pyongyang is demanding that the United States first improve bilateral relations and provide security assurances, including signing a declaration ending the Korean War.
The diplomatic path with Pyongyang remains open, but it will be far longer and bumpier than has been depicted by the Trump administration. The United States should maintain maximum pressure until Pyongyang makes significant, tangible steps toward denuclearization. Washington must also continue to confront the regime on its human-rights violations.

The U.S. Women's National Team's 26-player training camp roster is out for next month's SheBelieves Cup, and four Chicago Red Stars are on the list.
Julie Ertz, Tierna Davidson, and Casey Short all made the 26-player roster, along with goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher. Midfielder Morgan Brian, who had a solid 2019, was left off the team.
Ertz is sitting at 99 caps for the national team, so she should pick up No. 100 during the tournament. Naeher is also a lock to make the final roster, but it will be interesting to see what USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonovski thinks of Short and Davidson. He'll cut the final roster to 23 before the first match of the tournament.
USWNT SheBelieves Cup Schedule:
Thursday, March 5 vs. England at Exploria Stadium in Orlando, Fla. (6 p.m. CT on ESPN2 and TUDN).
Sunday, March 8 vs. Spain at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J., (4 p.m. CT on ESPN and TUDN).
Wednesday, March 11, vs. Japan at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, (7 p.m. CT on ESPNews and TUDN).

Played between February 6 and 9, Aman blasted nine birdies in the first round that unfortunately also included two bogies leaving him at a comfortable 7-under on a Par-71 golf course. On Day 2, he shot a brilliant 7-below par again that had no mishap on his way to the 18.
In the third round, however, Aman struggled to keep the momentum from the past two days and succumbed to two bogies and a triple bogie, with two birdies in-between, at 3-over. This left him tied for the 8th spot.
An undaunted Aman, came back roaring in the fourth and final round carding a brilliant, bogey-free 64 for 7-under again recovering six spots since the day before. His efforts, however, fell short as he lost to Bangalore's S Chikkarangappa by a small margin of two stroke.
"I wish I had a better third round; that probably would have made a difference in the final standing but I am still very happy with my performance and offer my congratulations to Chikkarangappa for his outstanding play in the last four days," Aman said.


Friends or Enemies? No, Just Plants.
"Peach-Leaf Bellflower, Garden Enemy #2" is one of my most-viewed posts. It was written in a fit of pique after I stabbed a hyacinth bulb while engaged in a heavy session of digging up peach-leaved bellflower (Campanula persicifolia) that had spread by runnng roots. I have since relented in my harsh judgement of that plant.
Partly it's because I've decided there are plants even more apt to spread and harder to control. To wit: Oregon grape, snowberry, periwinkle (both Vinca major and V. minor), achillea, bloody cranesbill (Geranium sanguineum), and certain daylilies. I've fought more desperate battles with these than I ever waged against the bellflower (which is rather attractive just now, in its first flush of bloom).
It's dumb of gardeners to blame plants for being themselves, bestowing upon them unkind epithets such as "thug" or "garden enemy." (Not that the plants give a damn). I'm the one who decided to plant peach-leaved bellflower, Oregon grape, and snowberry in my garden, thinking them good choices because they are drought-tolerant, or native species, or both. Thing is, they succeed in our local conditions precisely because of their deep-rooting, runner-producing tendencies.
A recent reading of Noel Kingsbury's excellent book, Garden Flora, gave me a new perspective on this — grouping or classifying plants by ecological habit, as well as by habitat or anatomy.
In looking at the longevity and persistence of plants, some are called "clonal" and others "non-clonal." The first group includes those that spread by rhizomes, roots or stolons, and others that stay in one place but increase in size. Non-clonal plants are generally short-lived, but produce lots of seeds to ensure persistence. Both types are represented in my garden. The spreaders and seeders are the ones that give me grief, and on the whole, the seeders are easier to deal with. Deadheading is a lot easier than digging up Mahonia roots, let me tell you.
Kingsbury says the non-clonal plants tend to be pioneers, moving into an area and flourishing briefly, only to be supplanted by clonal competitors, whose roots, whether running or expanding in place, allow them to dominate their environment.
Learning about the science of things is a good antidote to the human tendency to personify. Plants don't run or produce zillions of seeds just to bug gardeners, but as a survival technique. If gardeners were aware of these habits before they introduced plants to their precious patches of earth, much physical exertion and gnashing of teeth could be avoided, or at least minimized.
It would be helpful if writers of advice for gardeners included this aspect of plant performance in their writings. I'm sure if I had read something like "this is a tough, drought-resisting native plant, but gardeners should be aware that it spreads vigorously in conditions that meet its needs," I would have avoided some plants, and situated others more carefully.
Beguiled by fervid descriptions of a plant's flower colour, reliability, or the fact that it's a native adapted to local conditions, I have rushed out, bought one or more, and installed them in my small patch of land. They took hold and flourished. Fast-forward a few years to see me whine and swear at colonizing shoots metres away from the original plant, often in the middle of some pampered darling that's trying to make up its mind as to whether life is worth living. By this time, of course, the original plant has grown large enough that removing it would be a major project of the back-breaking variety.
The gardener mutters and swears. The clonal plant clones. The planet rotates. The gardener digs, chops, mutters, and swears.
The Hori-hori Knife — essential weapon for battling suckers.
My somewhat cranky post on Peach-leaf Bellflower has to be one of the most visited in this blog's archive. It seems a lot of gardeners are interested in bellflowers. Because that post was a diatribe against Campanula persicifolia, I thought I would take a more temperate look at them now, when their first flush of bloom is nearly over.
The genus Campanula, or bellflowers, is huge — more than 500 species. It includes perennials, biennials and annuals ranging from a few inches high to six feet, but most seem to be in the one to three foot range. They occur in a variety of temperate habitats, including woodlands, grasslands, alpine and arctic regions. Dozens of species have found their way into gardens and have attracted the attention of plant breeders, resulting in many horticultural varieties.
I personally have experience with only a few of the bellflowers. Only two, actually. I recall the biennial Canterbury bells called "Cup and Saucer" from childhood, but have never grown it myself. Someone once gave me a plant of a creeping type, possibly a cultivar of C. carpatica, but it did not last. The two that have, and will probably be here forever, are C. persicifolia, Peach-leaf Bellflower, and C. rapunculoides, whose common name — Creeping Bellflower — should give any gardener the creeps. The authors of Perennials for American Gardens warn that "it must never be introduced into gardens, except into the wildest areas." Well, it somehow got introduced into my garden, although not by me. At present, there is a clump growing out of asphalt on the edge of the driveway and another at the base of a Norway maple. The latter appears to be spreading slowly. Every spring I dig up the outermost sprouts, but I suspect it's gaining ground. I also see it over the fence near my shed, and have conducted a little herbicidal warfare to keep it out.
The interesting thing is that the rapacious C. rapunculoides is quite attractive — more so than C. persicifolia, whose flowers are wide open, outward facing cups, while those of the former are downward-facing in the true bell-like manner, with elegant pointed edges.
On my way to work by bicycle I admire a nice clump of this plant growing at the foot of a bus stop sign, in the crack between sidewalk and curb. It's obviously never watered except by rain (nonexistent at this time of year) or cared for in any way, but puts on a show every summer.
But — and it's a big "but" — these two bellflowers are inveterate spreaders. Rapunculoides spreads mostly by underground rhizomes, forming fat tuberous storage roots. Every bit of root is capable of forming a new plant, so careful digging and disposal (not in the compost heap) is needed to remove it. Mostly it's impossible to get rid of it entirely which is why it needs to be watched carefully and extracted as much as possible every spring.
Peach-leaf bellflower distributes itself both by seeds and underground roots, but is generally a bit easier to remove, except when it becomes entrenched among other desirable plants, when digging it up means digging up the entire bed. Careful deadheading can prevent excessive seeding, but the more plants you have the harder it is to keep up with the spent flowers about to become seedheads. The purest deadheading technique is to snip each flower individually, allowing the new buds forming lower on the stem to develop. This is fine if you have only a few easily accessible plants, and more time and patience than I have. Cutting entire flowering stems once most of the blooms are over works quite well. My plants manage to rebloom once or twice after this treatment.
So do I still think of Peach-leaf Bellflower as a "garden enemy?" Not really, but I suggest that gardeners think carefully before introducing it, especially to neat and tidy gardens. It's actually one of the tough plants that are valuable in adverse conditions (such as dry shade), but become a little too pushy in favourable ones. In such situations, I would advise a gardener who wants to try campanulas to visit a good garden centre and obtain some of the horticultural named varieties, which tend to be less aggressive.
And for those who already have these two bellflowers, all I can say is that they create an opportunity for the gardener to exercise some mental discipline. Fight or negotiate? Attack or maintain a watchful peace? Who says gardening is a genteel pastime?
After last week's post about peach-leaf bellflower, I got to thinking about all the other plants with spreading tendencies that inhabit my small urban garden (50 x 120 feet, including my house, garden shed, garage, driveway and various walks and paths). Quite frankly, I was appalled when I realized how many pushy plants I have. No wonder there's no room for anything new.
So I thought I would compile a list of them — trees, shrubs, climbers and herbaceous plants that spread by running roots, offsets or suckers. The list doesn't include "true" weeds (bindweed, for example), but does have plants that are probably considered weeds by some. Enough said.
Trees: the only invasive one I have is the Tree of Heaven, Ailanthus altissima, which sends up shoots here and there. Digging them out, I find that they originate in structures that look like brains, except they are a yellowish colour. Very sinister. If not removed, the shoots will grow into more trees, and I would have a grove of what has been called "the world's toughest urban tree." Indeed, but one is more than enough for me.
The common Lilac, Syringa vulgaris, sends up suckers with abandon. I remove them, so as not to end up with a lilac thicket that swamps whatever has been planted around the shrub. I suspect that named varieties are less apt to sucker, but are probably not as tough. Besides, this lilac was here before I arrived in 1992, so has the privilege of seniority.
Oregon Grape (Mahonia aquifolium) is a native shrub that can grow to 10 feet, sending up suckers similar to those of the lilac. It produces lots of dark blue berries as well. If these are allowed to fall, the seeds inside them produce many seedlings. Again, a thicket results. I planted two mahonias years ago, and am reaping the consequences. But a couple of young suckers are ideally positioned someday to foil shortcut-seeking letter-carriers and the like, which may be one of those disguised blessings.
Another native shrub is the Snowberry, Symphoricarpos albus. Its white berries, borne on skinny stems, are striking in winter, but it spreads by running roots that send up shoots all around. One of my reference books says it's "too rampant to be admitted to the garden." Too late, in my case; I thought snowberry a fitting companion for my Garry Oak, since they occur together naturally. Now I spend quite a lot of time cutting unwanted snowberry shoots.
The Nootka rose (Rosa nutkana) is one of our two native wild roses, and yes, I have planted one here, close by the Oregon grape. It has that suckering habit, as I've found while edging the bed in which it lives. I'm thinking about removing the shrub altogether, but it takes me a long time to get to the point of actual planticide. The horror of finality, you know. In the meantime, the rose prospers and spreads.
I have only one problematic climber, but it's a doozy — Ivy (Hedera species). I have three kinds, including English Ivy (H. helix), which is branded an invasive alien here. It isn't as sneaky as some of the other invasives, but bears careful watching and hard pruning. I recommend removing the flowering growths before berries ripen and are dispersed by birds. We have more than enough of this plant here. The other two types I have are not quite as aggressive, but I regularly whack them back before they cover too much territory, horizontally or vertically.
Winter jasmine (Jasminum nudifolium) hasn't been a problem here — yet. It's supported by a trellis, and I've been vigilant about removing any branches that touch the ground before they grow roots and develop new plants. Those unaware of this habit, take note.
Periwinkle is a great groundcover. Both the large (Vinca major) and small (V. minor) forms really cover the ground and anything that might be growing upon it. V. major is suitable only for large areas, but even V. minor can move pretty fast. Either restrict them to places where nothing else will grow (beneath evergreen trees and shrubs, for example) or be prepared to do a lot of control measures. I do both.
Japanese Anemone (Anemone x hybrida) is an attractive, late-summer-blooming plant, but it sends out running roots that pop up offsets from the parent plant, not always in situations where they are welcome. In my garden, these anemones are in a south-facing bed, and so want to spread southward, among shorter plants. This conflicts with my intentions for the bed, but the anemones don't care about that.
There is a tawny-orange daylily (probably Hemerocallis fulva) that I brought to this garden when I came here in 1992. In books, it's lauded as a plant for controlling erosion on banks. If I had known of its colonizing tendencies, I would have left it behind in Saskatchewan. Instead of forming clumps that become fatter and more impressive with the years, this species of daylily runs about, popping up where it pleases, even in the middle of other plants. Given enough space, I suppose it would eventually cover a large area. But that's not what I had in mind, so have spent many hours digging it out. A double-flowered garden hybrid called "Kwanso" shares its parent's running habit. When I was a newish gardener with space to fill, I gratefully accepted a gift of "Kwanso," rather to my regret. With considerable vigilance, I have managed to confine it to a spot on one side of the pond, but regularly contemplate total eradication.
Phygelius aequalis or Cape Fuchsia is an impressive plant from South Africa, featuring clusters of long, slender, trumpet-shaped flowers in yellow or coral, on 3-foot, somewhat woody stems. It tolerates a certain amount of drought and even some shade. Maintenance consists of cutting the old stems down in early spring. Very nice, but it also spreads sneakily underground. You think it's a well-behaved shrubby thing, until you find big, healthy sprouts yards away from the parent plant. Given that said parent is pretty hefty — 4 x 4 feet — one is enough. New plants showing up among peonies and irises are not welcome. (Too bad, says the Phygelius).
Irises, especially the bigger types, spread by growing new rhizomes, and can cover quite lot of ground if not attended to. I've read that one must divide and replant irises every few years to keep them healthy, but mine seem a bit too healthy, even the ones that rarely bloom because of excessive shade. Digging them up and replanting might be a good idea, if only to get rid of the unwanted surplus. To be fair, though, irises can't really be called invasive. Iris cristata, a small, spring-blooming type, has slowly spread throughout a couple of my beds over the years, much to my delight.
Another unexpected spreader is a form of Gentian whose name I do not know. Its main bloom period is in March, but I've known it to produce a few flowers in fall and winter as well. Planted in a semi-sunny, tree-root-free bed, it has spread to cover an area the size of a (smallish) bath mat, coming into conflict with some bergenias on one side. I plan to take advantage of its vigor by moving a few divisions into another part of the bed, at present occupied by common violets, Viola odorata, another near-weed. Which reminds me of another violet with spreading tendencies — V. labradorica, a scentless but attractive type with purple-flushed leaves, that is a useful groundcover in dry shade. It's fairly well-behaved, but should be weeded out from around small hostas and ferns before it gets too chummy with them.
I was out in the garden on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, doing what I expected to be routine cleanup — cutting down old perennial stalks, removing the odd overgrown specimen, etc. But I realized I had a bigger problem on my hands — peach-leaf bellflower (Campanula persicifolia), entrenched and spreading all over one of my sunnier and tree-root-free perennial beds. A planting of variegated irises and a specimen of Eryngium yuccifolium were threatened with oblivion as the peach-leaf pest sent out new offsets and and an ever-thickening mat of roots.
I happily included this plant in my post called Tough Plants for Dry Shade, and I still think it belongs there, but now I issue a warning: do not plant Campanula persicifolia in places other than dry shade, especially if you garden on light, sandy soil. In hospitable, sunny spots, it becomes a rampant thug. Plant delphiniums there instead.
In a hasty attempt to get rid of the unwanted bellflowers, I went from hand-pulling (useless except for seedlings or brand-new offsets), to stabbing with a trowel, to deploying the gardener's big gun — a digging fork. That did the trick, except that I dug up a bunch of tulip and crocus bulbs along with the bellflower mats, and, worst of all, sliced off a nice hyacinth bud that was awaiting spring under the soil surface.
That's the really awful thing about spreading plants — they cover up other plants and, unless the gardener has a really good memory and/or really meticulous records, render them invisible. The busy gardener glances over a bed and sees nice, healthy plants of peach-leaf bellflower, totally forgetting about the irises, eryngiums and bulbs that were planted there in the first place. When the truth finally dawns and Something Must Be Done Right Now, havoc and destruction ensue.
Some may say I'm being unfair to Campanula persicifolia. Just because I was too lazy to keep an eye on things, I need not vilify the bellflower, which is an attractive and reliable plant. Maybe so, but gardeners should know about a plant's bad habits before they introduce it into their premises, so I think this screed is justified. (And of course I'm still upset about that hyacinth).
On a related topic, following my post on Plant ID, in which I made observations about different kinds of plant labels, I actually received as a Christmas gift a couple of dozen rather nice permanent metal labels with solid plastic stakes to hold and display them. I've decided to use them to mark valued plants that are at risk of being overwhelmed by the rambunctious "tough plants" that I have allowed to proliferate here. The idea is that the labels will remind me to check on the well-being of the plants they represent, thus ensuring that the markers will not be of the RIP sort.
Oh yes — and what is Garden Enemy #1? In my garden, it's those maple trees, of course. I've ranted about them before, and will likely do so again.
Every summer I expend valuable time and energy extracting fans of a certain orange daylily from the perennial bed adjoining my pond. The culprit is, I suspect, a variety called 'Kwanso,' a descendant of Hemerocallis fulva, which is a tough plant with brownish-orange flowers and a rampaging habit of colonization. 'Kwanso' has certainly inherited that quality, which means that if left to itself, it will send out new sprouts far beyond the spot where it was originally planted. In my pond bed, lush growths of 'Kwanso' have come up flush against vigorous ferns and threatened to engulf a small spirea, 'Golden Princess.' To keep things in proportion (so much of gardening consists of this struggle), I get out there with a narrow bulb trowel and surgically remove the invader from spots where it doesn't belong.
Now, here's the thing — I didn't buy 'Kwanso.' It was a gift from another gardener. My garden was new at the time, and underpopulated (hard to believe, but it was). I accepted the gift with gratitude and gave it a prime spot, remembering a fine daylily that I had in my former garden, a big handsome thing with yellow trumpet flowers every summer, possibly an old variety called 'Hyperion.' The clump expanded steadily, but did not send out runners. In my ignorance of the daylily tribe, I thought they were all like that, and when my gardening colleague described her plant's double orange flowers, I was quite delighted to accept the gift. Now that I know about H. fulva, I would be suspicious of any daylily with even a hint of orange.
When someone offers you a generous supply of a plant, ask yourself why they have so much to give away. A diplomatic question may be in order: "Can you tell me something about X? How does it grow?" If the gardener says something about ground-covering tendencies or multitudes of seedlings, you may wish to decline with gratitude.
When you think about it, this matter of gift plants is as much about etiquette as gardening. Gifts in general are a touchy subject. Consider the present that eventually becomes a garage sale item. So what do you say when a gift plant turns out to be a menace that you had to eradicate, and the giver inquires as to how it's doing in your garden? Or even worse, comes over to admire it? "Oh, it just up and died. I couldn't get it to grow." The implication that your gardening skills are inferior to the other person's may divert them from the suspicion that planticide was committed. Let them bask in the warm glow of superiority for a few seconds, then offer them some seedlings of Linaria purpurea or divisions of Campanula persicifolia.
Setting aside unworthy thoughts of horticultural revenge, here are some precepts to observe when you are the giver of a plant, especially when the recipient is a new, inexperienced gardener. Be up front about colonizing tendencies. Admit that you have periwinkle to give away because it has spread like a weed at your place, and is likely to do so anywhere. Tell her that she had better get out and cut back the campion as soon as its first blooms have turned into seed pods, unless she wants it coming up all over the place. Better yet, give away some really good plants on occasion — spare seedlings of Meconopsis, for example, or divisions of crystalline blue delphiniums. No one ever has enough of those.


Endemic to coastal eastern Brazil, this parrotlet is rare and poorly known, and in common with all other Touit is also very infrequently observed when perched; typical views involve singles or small groups flying high overhead, revealing their identity only via their species-specific vocalizations. Golden-tailed Parrotlet is largely bright grass green, with a yellowish area around the face and cheeks, a scaled appearance to the crown and neck, and the brownish scapulars form two bands across the back. The species' tail is short and square, golden-yellow tipped black, with green central rectrices. The Golden-tailed Parrotlet occurs from Ceará discontinuously south to São Paulo, with its stronghold probably being the northeastern forests of Alagoas and Bahia. Seasonal movements may occur in some areas, but the species is probably usually resident in lowland and lower montane forest, as high as 1000 m in the south of its range. Nests have been reported in arboreal termitaria, but this parrotlet's breeding biology is still very inadequately known. Extensive deforestation throughout its range, but especially in the far northeast, has left the species highly dependent on the Brazilian protected areas network, and the Golden-tailed Parrotlet is currently considered Vulnerable by BirdLife International.

For the book illustrator, see Pat Cummings (illustrator).
Pat Cummings (July 11, 1956 – June 26, 2012) was an American professional basketball player.
A 6-foot-9 forward with an accurate shooting touch, Cummings spent the most productive stretch of his 12-year career with the New York Knicks and the Dallas Mavericks of the NBA, averaging better than 12 points and 8 rebounds for four straight campaigns.
The son of Charles and Dolores (Gresik) Cummings, he scored 1,136 career points for Greater Johnstown High School of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. He led the team to a pair of District 6 Class A championships, including a 25-1 record his senior year. He earned first-team all-state honors.
Cummings committed to attend the University of Cincinnati, coached by Gale Catlett. Cummings still holds the Bearcats' single-season field goal percentage record (.642 in 1977–78) and his career mark of .581 is second to Kenyon Martin. He is second all-time in field goals made (756) behind Oscar Robertson. In 1978–79, he averaged 24.6 points per game, fifth-highest in Bearcats' history, while also averaging a team-leading 11.3 rebounds and .823 free throw percentage. His career point total of 1,762 was second all-time to Robertson, and that total currently ranks fifth.
At UC, Cummings' teams went 23-6 (1974–75), 25-6 (1975–76), 17-10 (1977–78), and 13-14 (1978–79). He did not play in 1976–77 due to a broken leg. He earned All-Metro Conference first team and was the Bearcats' MVP in 1977–78 and 1978–79. He was awarded the 1978–79 Metro Conference Player of the Year. Cummings was inducted into the James P. Kelly UC Athletics Hall of Fame in 1990.
Cummings was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks as a junior-eligible in 1978 (the year Boston Celtics used the same rule to draft Larry Bird). After playing out his senior season, Cummings came to the Bucks in 1979. He saw his first NBA action in the Bucks' second game, a 125-96 win over the Denver Nuggets in which he scored four points, followed by eight points in the Bucks' next game, a 131-107 win over the Utah Jazz. He did shine at times, with a then career-high 25 points on February 26, 1980 against the Los Angeles Clippers, then 30 in the third-to-last game of the season against the Denver Nuggets.
Over the next three seasons, he saw limited action in a front court that included Bob Lanier, Dave Meyers, Marques Johnson, Kent Benson, and Harvey Catchings. Nevertheless, Cummings shot over 50 percent from the floor and over 70 percent from the free throw line and averaged more than six points each year. On March 9, 1981, he tied his career single-game best of 30 points against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Cummings signed with New York as a free agent. In 1984–85 with the Knicks, Cummings notched the best scoring average of his career, 15.8 points per game. He not only had 23 games of 20+ points, he scored a career-high 32 points on January 28, 1985 against the Clippers, followed two nights later by another career-high of 34 against the Phoenix Suns.
In 1985–86 he finally succumbed to the foot problems that had been nagging him for years. After averaging 15.7 points and 9.0 rebounds in 31 games, including tying his career-high 34 points on November 22, 1985 against the Washington Bullets, Cummings bowed out for the season and had surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle. Cummings never quite returned to form. He spent two more seasons with the Knicks, sharing time in the front court with Bill Cartwright and Patrick Ewing.
Cummings signing as a free agent with the expansion Miami Heat in 1988. He started in the Heat's first-ever game, and spent most of his two years in Miami as a backup to Rony Seikaly. Cummings was waived late in the 1989–90 campaign.
After playing professionally in Italy in 1990–91, he played a four-game stint with the Utah Jazz in 1990–91. Cummings was waived and out of the NBA at age 34.
In 12 NBA seasons, he averaged 9.6 points and 5.6 rebounds, with a .497 field goal percentage and a .737 free throw percentage.
He closed his professional career with two seasons in the Continental Basketball Association.
Cummings had resided in Loveland, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati, earned his real estate license and spent several years in the real estate business.
He died of natural causes in a Greenwich Village, New York City apartment on June 26, 2012. He was preceded in death by his father and his brother, Charles Jr., and was survived by his mother and his brother, Michael. He was interred at Grandview Cemetery in Johnstown.

Cain addreses controversial remarks, gets high reference from Romney

Covering Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman
More posts by Josh Hafner
Tags: Fox News debate, GOP debate, Herman Cain, Iowa straw poll, Mitt Romney
Candidate Tags: Herman Cain
Herman Cain emphasized that he was a "business problem-solver" at tonight's debate while clarifying past controversial statements head-on.
"How do you reassure people that you know enough to be president of the United States?" asked moderator Chris Wallace, referencing previous remarks by Cain, including that he didn't have a specific plan for Afghanistan and that communities should be able to ban mosques.
"If anyone misunderstood my intent, I apologize for that," said Cain regarding his mosques comment. "But never will I apologize for saying that Sharia law does not belong in the United States of America."
The crowd erupted in applause.
Fear of the Islamic code of law seeping into government through Muslim politicians has been an evolving issue among tea party voters with whom Cain is popular.
Turning toward Afghanistan, Cain had an update: "Since we did this last, I have learned more about Afghanistan."
There are three major problems in Afghanistan, he continued. Before he could finally explain them specifically, however, the bell rang that his time limit was up.
The next question stayed on Cain's vivacious comments. This time, the question brought up an immigration plan Cain announced to an Iowa Family Leader audience in June, where he called for a 20-foot-high, barbed-wire electric fence on the border.
"America's got to learn how to take a joke," Cain said.
Again, the crowd burst first into laughter and applause.
But before the laughter fell, Cain began into his policy. The border still needs securing, he said, though he questioned by what means. Equally important, he added, are legal paths to citizenship.
"It turns out that America can be a nation with high fences and wide open doors," Cain concluded.
But for all the laughter the candidate's sassy remarks brought, he left the night with a high reference from the GOP frontrunner.

'The red card was deserved' – Brighton's Yves Bissouma on Steve Mounie's expulsion
Taiye Taiwo
Huddersfield Town v Brighton & Hove Albion
The African stars were involved in a challenge at the John Smith's Stadium that resulted in the sending off of the Benin striker
Brighton midfielder Yves Bissouma has defended referee Michael Oliver's decision to show Huddersfield Town striker Steve Mounie a straight red card in Saturday's Premier League match.
Mounie caught the leg of Bissouma with his studs and was sent off - his first red card in the English Premier League - as the Seagulls fought back from a goal deficit to a 2-1 victory.
"What happened? Well, just as you saw. There was a foul," Bissouma told The Argus.
"The bloke came in and the ref was right there, he saw it. I think for me, it's red. The red card was deserved."
Following his return from treatment, the Mali midfielder was welcomed onto the pitch with boos from the home fans.
It continued whenever he touched the ball but the 22-year-old stated that the reactions did not affect his performance to help Chris Hughton's side secure a fifth league win of the season.
"That's normal. I'd have done the same thing in their place. I've got nothing against their supporters. They did their job for the team," he added.
"The essential is we came here and achieved what we wanted to. It doesn't affect me. I went about my business quietly and played my match.
"I don't think about whether they are booing or not."
However, Shane Duffy has praised the summer signing from Lille for his response to the unpleasant reception at the John Smith's Stadium.
"I thought he was brilliant. The crowd got to him and I think he took confidence from it. They don't boo a bad player. He is a very good player and he's only young," Duffy said.
"He's a huge plus for us, especially when Dale (Stephens) is out. There is good competition in there."
Bissouma and his teammates will aim to build on the result when they travel to Selhurst Park for Tuesday's Premier League outing against Crystal Palace.

As a top-rated orthodontic practice in the south Denver-metro area, serving Highlands Ranch and surrounding communities, we believe we have a unique experience to offer our patients. Even as we continue to expand our practice, we are able to offer personalized treatment in an intimate setting where each patient is very important. Our young team is passionate about serving the community with state-of-the-art orthodontic treatment options and contributing to the overall health and well-being of our patients. We are dedicated to "raising the bar" for quality orthodontic care in Highlands Ranch.
In 2013, Karlin Orthodontics patients and their families acknowledged the outstanding care provided by Dr. Karlin and his team and voted Karlin Orthodontics the "Best of the Best"in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. In 2014, Colorado Parent magazine readers voted us the #1 "Family Favorite" Orthodontist in Highlands Ranch. In 2017, we celebrated 10 years of bringing orthodontic excellence to Highlands Ranch!
For the 5th consecutive year (2014-2018) Dr. Karlin has been named a Top Orthodontics Top Dentist by 5280 Magazine! In 2018, Dr. Karlin became the #1 Invisalign Teen Provider in Highlands Ranch.
To set a higher standard for quality orthodontic care in Highlands Ranch by providing our patients the best possible service through individualized treatment options, good communication throughout the treatment process, and a focus on overall health.
To make a positive difference in the lives of our patients and their families, as you are our top priority and the reason we continue to practice quality orthodontic care!
Dr. Karlin is certified by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), the only orthodontic specialty certifying board recognized by the American Dental Association. Less than 50% of practicing orthodontists in the United States have taken the steps necessary to become board-certified.
We take pride in treating each patient and their orthodontic needs on an individualized basis, considering personal goals and timing issues in conjunction with the array of orthodontic treatment options that are now available. Dr. Karlin prefers an intimate practice where he can give each patient his complete attention and thus provide the best orthodontic result possible.
Through our use of advanced technology, we are able to offer higher quality care to our patients. Computer technology enables us to focus on our patients and not on tracking paper files. Additionally, digital imaging and digital radiography (x-rays) minimize exposure to harmful radiation, and also help provide patients and parents with a better understanding of treatment options. Overall, we believe that a paperless office and digital imaging enable higher accuracy of health records, better communication with other dental professionals sharing patient care, and higher quality treatment.
Quality care takes time, careful planning, and good communication. Communication with the patient and the patient's family is essential from the very beginning when treatment options are evaluated with Dr. Karlin, and the treatment plan is agreed upon by the patient and/or guardian. Each step of the treatment process and patient progress is discussed so that everyone is well-informed and expectations are met. Patient questions and feedback are encouraged.
We enjoy getting to know our patients on a personal level, and keeping up with school activities and athletic teams, etc. We promote a relaxed, fun environment where patients and their families feel comfortable. Our younger patients especially enjoy participating in office contests.
A beautiful smile and healthy teeth go hand-in-hand with a focus on general health. Dr. Karlin not only improves the aesthetics of your smile, his treatment improves bad bites (malocclusions) resulting from tooth or jaw misalignment. Patients with malocclusions tend to have a harder time brushing, flossing, and chewing, as well as TMJ soreness. Additionally,we will give you and your general dentist regular updates on your oral hygiene and health. Quality orthodontic treatment together with routine dental care help to ensure that teeth will function correctly and stay in proper alignment for a lifetime.

The environmental movement has advocated for conservation and preservation of our habitat to ensure that both humanity and the planet will be sustainable. As much as this philosophy makes sense and has ethical implications as well, we must also look at some misconceptions that have been perpetuated by the development community and the preservation movement that threaten to undermine their own ideologies and purpose.
Both entities just mentioned tend to think that human intervention in nature somehow suspends the laws of nature whereas preservation efforts allow nature full reign to evolve naturally. We cannot alter the way nature operates although we seem to act as if we can. We can manipulate nature's results to some degree and maybe even delay disastrous outcomes but we cannot ultimately eliminate them from occurring.
Society and our policies of preservation and conservation are human inventions. The borders we have placed between them are of human origin and are not acknowledged by nature. Consequently, neither society nor environmentalism operates in the way we perceive they should. The biosphere operates in its own evolutionary manner, and as such, will always triumph when conflicted with human interventions. Thus, if humanity did manage to cause what we refer to as a total ecosystem collapse, much of the planet's life forms might ultimately die-off but evolution would resume its usual course, even if all that was left were primitive organisms or elements.
In light of our attitudes about nature, we also seem to be obsessed with our own mortality. We have not accepted the fact that life and death are the natural processes of evolution. Much of what we do in the name of sustainability is really directed at our own continuance, despite recognizing that if we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves as well. Certainly, self-interest, as well as enlightened self-interest or symbiosis, is a fundamental and logical aspect of evolutionary development of all species but the human ego seems to have directed its focus mainly towards its own survival and prosperity.
What is needed is a change in consciousness that recognizes our participation in the evolution of the cosmos as opposed to our psychology of superiority, uniqueness and privilege. We need to stop thinking of the universe as something outside ourselves that is separate and alien. This disposition of disconnection is at the heart of our imbalanced relationship with nature and our resultant human-ecological crisis. According to William Ashworth, the author of The Left Hand of Eden, the careful use of natural resources within a context of "use with reverence", is the only viable way of ensuring the ethic of true preservation.

Did you know you can go on a safari in central Mississippi?
What began as an outing with his grandchildren ended with a Brandon man collecting a menagerie and now you can go on a safari tour right here in central Mississippi.
"We have two grandchildren and we wanted to take them to the zoo in New Orleans," Buddy McClain said. "Then we heard about this place called Global Wildlife down near Hammond."
He opted to go there instead. On their safari, they were able to see camels, zebras, giraffes and other exotic animals while touring the property in a wagon pulled by a tractor.
"We had the grandkids and we had a ball," McClain said. "It was just a great experience for everyone. The grandkids went crazy."
Then a lightbulb turned on and McClain Safari Tours was born.
"I said, 'We can do this,'" McClain said. "I already have a high fence."
Not only did McClain have a high-fenced enclosure, he had a few exotic animals on his property, but he needed more.
"There's large ranches in Texas that have everything," McClain said. "We just started working on the animals and getting what we wanted."
McClain started with fallow and axis deer and moved on from there. He acquired bison, blackbucks, zebras, addax, water buffalo and recently, a giraffe named Stix.
"We have over 40 different species in our park and petting zoo," McClain said. "Today we're getting three alpacas. Every week we're getting new animals."
McClain is situated on 2,000 acres and 65 acres are dedicated to safari tours. Tourists ride in a wagon pulled by a tractor and are able to feed some of the animals along the way. As animals come into view a tour guide provides information about the different species.
"It's just very educational to hear the stories of the different animals," McClain said. "You learn a lot in that hour."
McClain said this time of year is particularly special for tourists because of animals giving birth. In the last two months more than 20 animals have been born.
A trip to the petting zoo is included in the safaris. There, people can feed and pet animals such as pigmy goats and pot-bellied pigs. Larger animals such as camels can also be fed and pet over a fence.
The petting zoo and safari tours, along with McClain's restaurants, lodge, general store and farmer's market are becoming a popular destination.
"We've had people to drive two and three hours to come see us," McClain said. "It's a resort and people are coming to see us."
Local residents are enjoying it, too.
"We finally went over and did the safari about three weeks ago," said Danny Anderson of Brandon. "My son is 10 and he went crazy over it.
"He had a blast. One of the main things I liked about it was our safari guide. She was very knowledgeable about the animals."
Anderson has been on an African safari tour before while doing mission work and said with the exception of not including lions, McClain's tour is little different than what he experienced in Africa.
"The trailer you ride in has a unique feel," Anderson said. "You feel like you're really on a safari in Africa."
Becky Reynolds of Brandon said she and her family frequently take advantage of living close to McClain.
"We're just in love with the whole set-up," Reynolds said. "We've done the safari and petting zoo twice, but we eat at the buffet one to two times a week.
"The safari and petting zoo are top-notch. The staff, the guides are extremely friendly."
Her five-year-old daughter, Stella Ann, also enjoys it.
"I would say the miniature horses are her favorite," Reynolds said. "Feeding the animals is big. Getting a bucket of food and being so close is really neat."
According to McClain, experiences like Anderson's and Reynolds' are what he intended to provide.
"It's good family fun," McClain said. "That's what we're looking for."

The BRITE Center currently has researchers in the field for the third wave of data collection for the California Quality of Life Survey. The survey is attempting to collect population-based data from approximately 3,000 Californians in order to assess mental health morbidity; experiences with hate crimes and victimization; everyday experiences with discrimination; and levels of social support and involvement. In addition to identifying racial/ethnic diversity in the data set the Center also oversampled the vulnerable population of sexual minorities to form the largest-to-date population-based survey on mental health issues in this population where there is a co-occurring heterosexual comparison group.
Key findings from the survey include:
Service planning and public policy experts interested in cost of care should take into consideration the effects of environmental and life stressors, including experiences of discrimination, violence, and hate crimes, in incurring mental health costs not only to the individual but to society
A better understanding of the factors that lead sexual minorities, and especially gay women, to seek treatment may generate knowledge that can be used to improve delivery of treatment to those who would benefit from it or who currently do not take advantage of mental health resources.

Drunkenly staggering from folk to punk to a lounge duet with Tom Waits and back again, this album needs a mug of coffee and a good, hard slap. 'Beautiful Mess' shows an impressive line-up with Dave Pirner and Dan Murphy from Soul Asylum sing on "Blood Is Thicker Than Water," Benmont Tench plays the organ, and Michael Penn sings on "Body And Soul?" Joe Hardy produced along with Pete Anderson and Al Kooper, the latter of whom oversaw "Adios Lounge," a duet between singer Bob Forrest and Tom Waits. Bob Forrest created some very personal songs on 'Beautiful Mess' and he aced everything. It's poetic, sad, poignant, triumphant, optimistic, it's a masterpiece.

Jack Wertheimer
The New American Judaism
How Jews Practice Their Religion Today
Princeton University Press 2018
Countless sociological studies and surveys present a rather bleak picture of religion and religious engagement in the United States. Attendance at worship services remains very low and approximately one quarter of Americans indicate that they are not affiliated with any religion. This trend extends to the Jewish community, and American Jews are also experiencing decreasing synagogue attendance and low levels of adherence. However, Jack Wertheimer presents an alternative reading of American Jewish life in his new book, The New American Judaism: How Jews Practice Their Religion Today (Princeton University Press, 2018). Wertheimer argues that American Jews are indeed engaging with Judaism, albeit in unique and unorthodox ways. Wertheimer analyses how certain American values and phenomena, such as hyper-individualism and "do-it-yourself" religion, are impacting the ways in which American Jews practice their religion and have paved the way for new forms and expressions of Judaism. Wertheimer also demonstrates how synagogues and congregational rabbis are responding to the shifting needs of American Jews. Although many Jews do not attend synagogue on a regular basis and do not observe many traditional commandments, or mitzvot, American Jews are not necessarily abandoning Judaism; rather, they are engaging with their religion in ways that are conducive with their unique values, beliefs, and lifestyles and by extension are creating a new form of American Judaism. Jack Wertheimer is Joseph and Martha Mendelson Professor of American Jewish history at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City.

Employers warned against using social media searches for vetting candidates
By David Lorimer and Phil Lee | July 25, 2017 11:52
Employers may be acting unlawfully by vetting job applicants through their social media accounts – even where those profiles are public, new guidance has confirmed.
The guidance, issued by the Article 29 Working Party (which represents all of the EU data protection authorities) confirms that, unless information on a person's Twitter biog or Facebook profile is relevant to the role in question and applicants have been clearly warned that their accounts will be reviewed and considered as part of the recruitment process, any such vetting – which is regularly carried out in practice – may well constitute a breach of the applicant's privacy rights.
Commenting in the FT, Phil Lee, a partner in our Privacy and Information Group said:
"The opinion of the working party is non-binding but very persuasive due to who they are. They will influence how the national data protection authorities read the rules. In this case, they have said there must be a really good reason, relevant to the role concerned, for an employer to check someone's social media profiles. Employers should not assume that merely because an individual's social media profile is publicly available they are then allowed to process those data for their own purposes."
Employment Associate, David Lorimer adds:
"The guidance serves as a reminder that, despite advances in underlying tech enabling more advanced monitoring of employees' activities, employers must exercise caution, and evidence a careful weighing up of their interests against the employees' privacy rights before rolling out and relying on information collected. And, of course, care is needed before deciding not to hire on the basis of a few questionable pictures from Summer 2017!"
With potential fines for certain breaches of data protection law increasing to up to 4% of global annual turnover in May 2018 (with the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)), employers would be well advised to re-visit their monitoring policies and activities in light of this guidance.
More information and analysis on the guidance is available here.

Ghanaian forward Kevin Prince Boateng has welcomed Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo to the Italian Serie A with a beautiful tweet expressing the kind of influence they will have on the game in Italy.
The Ghanaian joined Sassuolo last week from German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, after a stellar campaign last season, where he won the DFB Pokal with the Eagles.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo - five-time Ballon d'Or winner- joined Juventus from Real Madrid for 112 million Euros, putting him in the bracket of the four most expensive players of all time.
His arrival to Italy has been greeted with several magnificent reactions and newly signed Sassuolo forward Kevin Prince Boateng took to Twitter to welcome the world best footballer in a humorous tweet.
The 31-year-old posted," First me, now it's Cristiano. Serie A is gonna be fire."
Boateng previously played for A.C Milan between 2010 to 2013 winning the Serie A title in his first season before leaving for Schalke O4 in Germany.
The nomadic forward also spent time in Spain with Las Palmas playing against Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid in the La Liga.

Saint Vincent's Infant Asylum/Carver Hall Apartments
The former St. Vincent's Infant Asylum/Carver Hall Apartments buildings is a complex of structures built between 1860 and the 1910s to provide housing and medical services to dependent children and women, along with housing for the nuns who operated the facility. After years of declining use, the Infant Asylum left the facility around 1934 for a new location on Reisterstown Road. Around 1941, the building was converted to use as Carver Hall Apartments offering a range of rental units to a largely African American group of tenants from the up through 2013. Since the 1970s, the management of the property has posed significant challenges for residents in the building with a major fire in 1978, a lawsuit in 1993 and issues with drug traffic and violence at the building in the 1900s. In January 2015, the building caught on fire destroying the roof and gutting much of the interior. It now stands vacant.
1401-1411 Division Street, Baltimore, MD 21217
Despite the fire damage, the former Carver Hall Apartments continues to represent an important landmark reflecting Baltimore's legacy of philanthropy, nationally significant Catholic history, and the history of African-American housing during the mid-20th century. Given the proximity of the building to the Upton Metro Station and the planned State Center development project, we believe the existing building can be turned from a vacant shell into a neighborhood asset through reuse and rehabilitation.
On February 8, 1860, St. Vincent's Infant Asylum moved into its new building at Lafayette and Division Streets with forty-seven infants. On October 15, 1859, the Baltimore Sun had reported on the construction of the new building:
"A noble building… is being erected on the northwest corner of Division and Townsend streets, in the extreme northwestern section of the city. The structure is located in the midst of other public institutions, such as the Church of the Immaculate Conception, and the Union Protestant Infirmary, (both recently built,) and will prove an ornament to that quarter of the city. […] Messrs. Long & Powell are the architects of the edifice, and J.M. Foley, Dr. F. Chatard and Rev. Joseph Gustiniania, the building committee. The work has progress well nigh to completion, and the institution will be ready for occupation by the first of the coming year. Mr. Samuel H. Adams is the carpenter and general superintendent. The St. Vincent Infant Asylum will be conducted by the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church."
The partnership of Long and Powell included architects Louis L. Long and George Thomas Powell. The "Powell" in this partnership is often attributed to be Samuel Powell (also known as S. Robinson Powell) but historian Jimmy Counts located an advertisement published in The Metropolitan Catholic Almanac (1859) that identified George T. Powell as the partner.
According to architectural historian James T. Wollon, Louis L. Long practiced architecture in Baltimore for about eight years (1853-1860) leaving a legacy of around thirty buildings. Long's best-known work in Baltimore are the St. Ignatius Church and Loyola College buildings (1853-56) located on Calvert Street at Madison Street.
Born in May 1837 near Ellicott's Mills, Maryland, George T. Powell was likely mentored by his older brother Walter Angelo Powell (born January 1829) who worked with Robert Mills. According to Counts, Long & Powell ended their partnership around 1860. Long moved to St. Joseph, Missouri later that year and he appears in the 1861 St. Joseph City Directory. George continued to practice in Baltimore.
St. Vincents grew throughout the late 1800s, with an average of 50 to 60 young children admitted annually between 1856 and 1867. This matched the growth nationally of institutional care for dependent children in the 19th century. The population of children in orphanages in the United States increased from only around 200 in 1790 to about 123,000 in 1910. From 1778 to 1856, twelve orphanages were founded in Baltimore, seven Protestant and six Catholic. Almost twice as many institutions were established between 1860 and 1910 and, by 1910, Baltimore had a total of 28 orphanages.
In the late 19th century Baltimore as a whole was served by three large non-denominational orphanages, with 112 to 150 children each, five orphan asylums "under Roman Catholic management," three Protestant orphanages for African-Americans, eight denominational or religious orphanages, and five local orphanages throughout the state. Jewish orphanages included the Hebrew Orphan Asylum (1872), the Hebrew Children Sheltering and Protective Association, also known as the Betsy Levy Memorial Home (1900-1921), and the Daughters of Hanna (1913). Other orphanages and religious homes for children in the late 19th century included the St. Mary's Industrial School, St. Elizabeth's for African American infants, the Samuel Ready School, and the Dolan House.
This rapid growth also fit within a child welfare movement that took shape in the late 19th and early 20th century, exemplified by the institution of a compulsory education law (1901), new child labor laws that raised the age of eligibility for employment to fourteen (1902), a juvenile court system (1902), and a playground movement (1898).
In 1888, the Daughters of Charity acquired a new property at 6700 Reisterstown Road to provide a "country home" for the children during the summer months. The institution continued to operate its original building in the winters until In 1934, when it sold their original building at Lafayette and Division Streets and moved nearly all of their operations to the property on Reisterstown Road. The building was converted into apartments around 1941 and rented largely to African Americans tenants who suffered from a severe shortage of rental housing in Baltimore during the 1940s and 1950s.
An interesting insight into residents at Carver Hall Apartments comes from coverage in the AFRO's during the 1940s and 1950s:
Alfred Tibbs, a 33-year-old shoemaker, who lived at the apartment building in 1942 when he was convicted of shooting his estranged wife's fiancé Donald "Frenchie" White, owner of the De Luxe Five and Ten at 1322 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Mrs. William Wells, who lived at the building in 1943 when her son Charles Law Wells was reported missing in the Pacific as part of the crew of the Runner submarine.
AFRO linotype operator Joseph Francis, who lived at the building in 1944 when he received a divorce from his wife.
Jesse Snead and Mrs. Dorothy C. Snead, whose daughter Shirley Evelyn Snead became the first African American nun in the Order of the Discalced Carmelites in 1951.
Miss Eva Bunting, a waitress who lived at the building in 1956.
Mollie A. Reddick who lived at the building in 1959 when she charged her husband of eight years with desertion, as reported: "On Nov. 6 1956, when he left, she was at work and returned home to find him and all the furniture gone."
