Weis: Irish badly need to beat USC
By Scott Wolf | swolf@scng.com | Daily News
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis talked this week about how USC plays with a chip on its shoulder.
He should know.
There was the fracas last year that started in the Coliseum tunnel and continued on the field during pre-game warmups, which by most accounts USC bore more responsibility for instigating.
And there was USC coach Pete Carroll's 2006 pre-game comment to Weis, asking him how he would win any games the following season with so many seniors in the starting lineup.
Maybe because No. 6 USC has won seven consecutive over the No. 25 Irish, Weis seemed to take a page from Carroll's playbook this week.
"I'm not expecting to be taking a whooping," Weis said, referring to today's game at Notre Dame Stadium. "This is probably the first year since I've been here where the players really believe they're going to win."
That last part might interest the 2005 Notre Dame team, which gave USC everything it could handle before losing 34-31 in the famous "Bush Push" victory.
"I think our university really, really could use this win," Weis said. "It's been a long time coming."
There seemed to be a slow boil all season toward today's contest, as each team relied heavily on its Southern California-bred quarterbacks to be the face of the program.
But it's more than Matt Barkley vs. Jimmy Clausen.
Carroll, who did not seem too worried this week, also admitted his impressive defense would give up more than a few plays to Clausen and company.
"This definitely will not be as easy as it's been," Carroll said. "I know they would love to (win). It's a big deal. I'm sure it's been a long time for them."
Weis knows this version of the Irish is more formidable than the Notre Dame teams that were outscored 76-3 the past two seasons and the hunger that permeates the campus for a win over its archrival.
"I think that our university really, really could use this win," Weis said. "I think Notre Dame needs it. I don't think Jimmy Clausen needs it. I don't think Charlie Weis needs it."
That might be debatable. Although the Irish are 4-1, a loss today could bring back the heat Weis faced last season when his job was believed to be in jeopardy.
A win would ensure survival and perhaps allow Weis to get more than his average four hours of sleep during the season.
"They've beaten us seven times in a row, really, the bottom line. Some of them have been ugly," Weis said. "So I think winning this week would do wonders for my spirits. But it wouldn't just be my spirits, it would be everyone affiliated with Notre Dame. So that is what we're going to try to do."
Weis revealed a personal aspect to the rivalry this week – a hat he keeps in his office that says, "USC Owns Notre Dame."
"With that cap came a letter from somebody with a very derogatory comment towards my daughter," Weis said. "So until we win a game, I'll hold on to that cap. And when we've won a game, that cap won't be around any more.
"It's kind of a refresher for me, and rather than share the derogatory comment, I'd like to keep that private."
For USC (4-1), the game will determine if the Trojans' only loss (Washington) can be explained simply by the loss of Barkley. If USC loses today, it will have two losses earlier than any point since the 2002 season.
But the Trojans also found an extra motivational source for today's game – the challenge of facing Clausen, who has thrown 12 touchdown passes and only two interceptions and, according to USC players, presents a more daunting task than going against California quarterback Kevin Riley two weeks ago.
"You could say that," USC safety Will Harris said.
That squares with Weis' own evaluation that Clausen's reputation will be formed by today's performance.
"He won't be judged by bringing us back three times in a row or four times in a row for that matter, he'll be judged by what he does against USC," Weis said.
Today's weather forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a high of 48 degrees. The kickoff temperature is expected to be around 45 degrees.

How-to Remain Married. There's reasons fairy stories constantly end up in marriage.
Home/How-to Remain Married. There's reasons fairy stories constantly end up in marriage./
Investigation implies that in the long term, young ones of divorced moms and dads are far more vulnerable to being poor, are harmful, having mental disease, not graduating university and obtaining separated themselves. it is true that becoming bad may be the factor in the rest of the adversities. Nevertheless, scientific studies that have taken money under consideration still learned that teenagers from separated groups face much more issues as opposed to those from moms and dads just who stayed married.
The items we don't know about what helps to keep anyone together are legion. But here are some of the items https://datingranking.net/pl/dominican-cupid-recenzja/ we do know for sure: if visitors become married after in regards to the chronilogical age of 26, posses school qualifications, possesn't already had toddlers or become pregnant, and therefore are gainfully applied, they have a tendency to remain partnered. If people develop passionate partnerships with people who are just like them in values and credentials, they think it is easier to remain partnered. And the devout, by a slim but significant margin, see divorced somewhat considerably often than men and women for whom faith just isn't a problem.
But what's the trick as soon as you're hitched? It's hard to do extensive medical tests of what actually renders a marriage perform, as a result of the ethics of trying out people's physical lives, but over time, sociologists, psychologists and practitioners have seen models rising.
One continuous should prevent contempt at all costs. By contempt, practitioners suggest more than creating derogatory remarks about a partner's desirability or earning electricity. it is additionally communicated by continuous interruption, dismissal regarding concerns or detachment from conversation.
Contempt, say practitioners, brings out a life-threatening string reaction. They eliminates vulnerability, on top of other things. Susceptability is a prerequisite for intimacy. Without intimacy, willpower was a grind. And without devotion, your whole business happens pear-shaped.
Alas, contempt's preferred problem for breeding was expertise. And you also can't has a family group without expertise.
Steer clear of they? There's two biggest antidotes, claims Gary Chapman, arguably the country's a lot of profitable marriage therapist–his book The 5 adore Languages happens to be on some version of the latest York occasions best-seller list for eight directly ages. The most important, evident because it looks, is to figure out what particularly produces your lover feeling appreciated. (According to Chapman, it's probably one of five items: keywords, energy, kindly works, gender or presents.) Together with various other will be figure out how to apologize–properly–and to forgive. Disagreements become unavoidable and healthier, therefore understanding how to combat reasonable is necessary; resentment is one of contempt's fundamental co-conspirators.
Obvious indisputable fact that is proven to work # 2 is to look for discussed passions, which can help counterbalance the changes that relations go through. "The a lot of effective couples started initially to accept one another's passion," says Pillemer. Since folks are remaining healthy longer, they could be energetic much longer. "We look for every thing we can think of that we enjoy to do together," Jimmy Carter has said, along with his 70-year relationship to Rosalynn endured four age in a governor's residence, one presidency, a few failed advertisments and a desire for Trikkes, among more tests.
Another useful modification is always to fall the thought of locating a soul mate. "We need this mythological proven fact that we are going to come across a soul companion and have now these euphoric ideas permanently," claims Chapman. In reality, soul mates are usually crafted, not discovered. "There were tens and thousands of folks available to you that any individual maybe happily partnered to," claims Gottman. "And each matrimony might possibly be various."
As well as how can you make a soul mates? Practise, training, application. Pillemer observed that long-married lovers he interviewed constantly acted like divorce had not been an option. "People truly encountered the mindset they desired to stay partnered," he says. They considered their cooperation as much less like purchasing a unique automobile and much more like understanding how to drive. "Marriage is similar to a discipline," according to him. "A self-discipline just isn't achieving one happier endpoint."
If all of that self-discipline looks a bit dreary, get center, as the program include rooms calisthenics. A 2015 research discovered that gender once weekly is the maximum levels for maximizing marital delight. The Canadian experts which reviewed information from three different studies learned that intercourse starred a straight bigger character than money in contentment. The real difference in life happiness between partners who'd gender once a week and people who had it under once a month got larger than the essential difference between those that had an annual income of $50,000 to $75,000 and those who have an annual money between $15,000 and $25,000.
Sex, however, cannot take place in vacuum pressure (unless that is the way both couples want it). Therapists craving lovers to not ever allow kids keep them from fun. "It shouldn't have to end up being big swaths of the time but pieces or chunks," says Scott Stanley, a co-director from the heart for relationship and parents research at University of Denver. "Even something as simple as going on a walk collectively after dinner." That isn't time for you work-out distinctions. "once they should be in enjoyable and friendship form, [some anyone] change into problem and conflict setting. do not blend settings."
One of the most controversial information therapists are suggesting is the fact that males ought to do a lot of "emotional work" in a relationship–the services that adopts preserving love, which will drops to girls. "What guys would in a relationship are, by big margin, the key component that separates an excellent union from a failed one," produces Gottman inside the latest publication, The Man's help guide to ladies. "This does not signify a female does not should do this lady component, nevertheless the data demonstrates that a man's steps are the key changeable that decides whether a relationship succeeds or fails."
Men are just starting to rev up at home and importance work-life stability around everything girls. But present scholarship keeps bolstered the value of old-school practices too–having household meal and claiming thank-you make a difference.
The main one word of advice every professional and nonexpert gives for remaining hitched is perhaps the smallest amount of of use one for those who are currently a long period in: decide well. The cascade of bodily hormones that rains down on humans whenever they very first fall-in adore, while completely essential and great, will often blind individuals to their unique bad selection. Therapists advise you ask pals about your prospective life partner and hear them. Aim to discover somebody you know you'll really love even throughout the times as soon as you don't like her or him really.
And, mix your fingers. As Grunwald places they in an aphorism which will land in the next relationship publication: "Just choose high quality and acquire happy."
This looks during the Summer 13, 2016 problem of TIME.


I had to laugh, there was a couple who were draped all over Alice, trying to get a selfie, and failing miserably. Would they let me take a nice shot with their phone, (and get them out of my shot!) so they could have something worth looking at? No! You'd think I was a phone pervert, going to do something to their phone. Eventually they moved on.

There's a lovely gazebo, though it's badly faded now. I felt free to push the colours trying to recapture some of the faded glory.

The gravity of grocery

Winn-Dixie, Mathnasium
Gayle Davison launched her business, Mathnasium, in Inverness Corners in October. She said she selected the location when she heard Winn-Dixie signed a lease to occupy the former Bruno's Supermarket spot in the shopping center.

Gayle Davison's retirement came and went, and it left her with an important question.
For 31 years she served as a math teacher, her final 10 with Shelby County Schools. After leaving the classroom, she relaxed and traveled for a brief period before deciding that life had more work for her to do.
"So what's next?" Davison said she thought to herself.
She loves shoes, so she considered selling them. And she loves flowers, so she thought about selling those as well. But after mulling it over, she decided doing either would be a fast track to falling out of love.
Her next venture turned out to be on the radio. She heard an advertisement for a tutoring business called Mathnasium and decided that starting a franchise on the U.S. 280 corridor was the answer.
Then, deciding where to put it turned out to be the easiest decision she made.
"The reason I came to Inverness Corners was because Winn-Dixie signed a lease there," Davison said of her Mathnasium location that opened in October. "When I found this building, I felt really good. But as time has gone by, that green light that led me here has just gotten bigger and bigger."
Representatives with Winn-Dixie said the store in Inverness Corners could be open by the end of November, filling a general grocery gap in the market along the corridor. The store is anticipated to be a flagship store for the company and should include a host of features to serve 280 residents.
"The amenities in our new Birmingham store offer a one-stop shopping experience unlike any other," said Tim Flavin, Montgomery Region vice president of Winn-Dixie Stores, in a statement. "We've fine-tuned our store to reflect the needs and preferences of the local community, providing our customers with exceptional service and the freshest products at the right price."
Flavin said the store would offer an array of custom-prepared, chef-inspired meals, a selection of organic fruits and vegetables and an expanded assortment of gluten-free, allergen-free, organic and natural products. In addition, the company is installing a carving station, butcher shop, cheese shop, barbecue bar and pharmacy and will offer an extensive wine selection, fresh seafood and sushi.
With the opening of the Inverness Corners store, Winn-Dixie plans to close its location at 2653 Valleydale Road.
Winn-Dixie representative Michelle Lisotto confirmed the closing but was unable to specify the date operations would cease at that location or the date the Inverness Corners store would open.
However, when it does, Davison expects a dramatic increase in traffic past her storefront, and a sizable spike in business overall.
"Most of my students have parents who drop them off, and now they'll have the opportunity to go right next door to do their grocery shopping with that hour instead of waiting in the parking lot," she said.
Her line of thinking isn't uncommon. Bayer Properties, the company responsible for managing Inverness Corners, is planning to advertise the shopping center's empty spaces to service-based companies like hers. According to Bayer representative Sam Heide, restaurants, salons, spas and other similar businesses are likely to follow Winn-Dixie's lead.
"They're the perfect tenants for this type of center," Heide said. "When somebody comes to do their grocery shopping, they can also get a manicure and have a bite for lunch."
Heide wasn't able to provide an exact number of vacancies in Inverness Corners, but currently, according to Bayer's website, there are 15 retail openings. Heide said some spaces will be combined and used by a single tenant, some are already in negotiation for leasing and some contracts have been signed. He said a clothing alterations company has agreed to come in, and Bayer has been in discussions with a local restaurant company for another space in the center.
In the space right next to Winn-Dixie, M&M Jewelers intends to open its new location by mid-November. The store, started by Laura Robinson nearly 25 years ago, has been located on Cahaba River Road for the past six years. She said she selected her new site because Winn-Dixie was moving in.
"I'm happy with it," Robinson said of her new location. "I'm looking forward to the move. I think it's going to be a better location, and traffic will only increase more when [Grandview Medical Center] opens."
Heide added he expects all spaces to be filled following the addition of Winn-Dixie, and that the grocery store's presence would boost sales across the center. But not all tenants were happy with Winn-Dixie coming in.
Colleen Burback, owner of clothing boutique The Urban Barn, said she moved her store from Inverness Corners to Lee Branch when Winn-Dixie signed its lease. She said she did so because Bayer presented her with a non-negotiable rent increase of more than 300 percent.
Burback said she was also concerned about a reduction in traffic through the center due to the Alabama Department of Transportation's Intersection Improvement Plan on U.S. 280. She said she believes the installation of a "Michigan Left" at Valleydale Road will push drivers south to Walmart or Publix.
"People will get frustrated and keep going," she said.
But Heide said he believes ALDOT's changes will bring more cars into the center, especially on the east side where Mathnasium is located.
Davison agreed.
"The way the lights are timed, it's pretty easy to make that turn in," Davison said of the southern entrance to Inverness Corners, which isn't regulated by a traffic signal. "People may think they're taking their lives in their hands, but I always see plenty of gaps."
Heide also said data shows the number of vehicles that pass Inverness Corners is projected to continue to increase, and that visibility has always been an asset for the center.
"With traffic counts there — and I think the Valleydale intersection sees more than 100,000 cars a day — it just increases the probability drivers will pull in on more frequent basis," Heide said. "Maybe somebody doesn't even know On Tap is there, but they see it on a grocery run and come back to watch football games."
New and returning customers will also see dramatic changes to the look of the center, as its owners have made a substantial investment in improvements to the exterior. Gone are forest green rooftops and blanket brick facades, replaced by bright stucco storefronts, elegant stonework and wood ceilings.
"Millions have been invested in that center to create what you're seeing there today," Heide said.
In addition, the center's owners have repaved the parking lot and installed a new lighting system.
"It's certainly a warm welcome for Winn-Dixie," Davison said.

Early events in the pathogenesis of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) infection in cattle were investigated through aerosol and intraepithelial lingual (IEL) inoculations of a cDNA-derived FMDV-A24 wild type virus (FMDV-WT) or a mutant derived from the same clone (FMDV- Mut). We had previously shown that after aerosolization, FMDV-Mut replicated at primary infection sites, but unlike FMDV-WT was unable to generalize and cause disease. In the current study we confirmed this finding and explored the virulence/attenuation continuum of FMDV infection. Several important differences were identified between infection of steers with FMDV-WT and FMDV-Mut. Tissues collected postmortem from primary infection sites of FMDV-WT-aerosolized cattle had substantially greater quantities of infectious FMDV, viral RNA, and type I/III interferon (IFN) activity compared to corresponding tissues from cattle infected with FMDV-Mut. Substantial quantities of IFN-ß were microscopically localized to FMDV-WT-infected epithelial cells at lesion sites indicating these tissues as important sites of antiviral activity. FMDV-WT-infected cattle additionally had marked induction of systemic IFN activity in serum, whereas FMDV-Mut infected cattle did not. The presence of viral RNA in the blood was consistently associated with the systemic induction of IFN response. Interestingly, IEL inoculation of FMDV-Mut in cattle restored virulent phenotype and systemic IFN response. These data indicate that the attenuated FMDV-Mut phenotype in cattle is associated with decreased replicative efficiency at primary infection sites, which is reflected by decreased systemic and local innate response. However, this attenuation is abrogated by bypassing the natural path of infection resulting in accelerated viral replication at the inoculation site.

$100,000 ASRT Foundation Fund Supports Radiologic Technologists Affected by COVID-19
The ASRT Foundation has launched a charitable initiative to provide financial assistance to medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals who have fallen victim to coronavirus. The ASRT Foundation's COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund also offers short-term support to those professionals whose employers have instituted layoffs, furloughs or decreased work hours in the face of the reduction or elimination of non-essential medical imaging and radiation therapy procedures during the crisis.
Underwritten with a $50,000 contribution by the ASRT Foundation, The American Society of Radiologic Technologists has matched the initial amount with an additional $50,000 approved by the ASRT Board of Directors. In addition, the Foundation is accepting personal and corporate donations to support the fund. Eligible applicants will receive $500 to assist with personal expenses while facing hardships caused by the pandemic.
Radiologic technologists are frontline caregivers who perform the x-ray and CT procedures vital in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19. In the service of patient care, many have contracted coronavirus themselves. In addition, many professionals who perform exams such as mammograms, MRI procedures, radiation therapy treatments and other special procedures have been deemed non-essential and are now unemployed or under-employed due to the ongoing health care crisis.
"Our colleagues are suffering," said ASRT Foundation Board of Trustees Chairman Terri L. Fauber, Ed.D., R.T.(R)(M). "We couldn't sit back and watch this without stepping up to offer our assistance. In fact, we believe in this so strongly, each of our nine board members have made a significant personal donation to the fund."
ASRT members who believe they may be candidates for assistance can can check program parameters and eligibility requirements here.
Radiologic technologists who want to support their colleagues may donate here.

Windows 10 Fall Creators Update launch date leaked...
Windows 10 Fall Creators Update launch date leaked by Lenovo, slips to October
Are mixed-reality headsets holding up the launch?

Microsoft may be keeping the official launch date of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update under wraps, but its partners aren't so shy. In an IFA press release, Lenovo leaked the Windows 10 FCU's official ship date: October 17.
Lenovo made its disclosures as part of a footnote within the press release announcing the Miix 520, a professional two-in-one PC with support for far-field, standby Cortana recognition, a feature which "requires Windows 10 Fall Creators Update which will automatically update starting October 17, 2017," the company said. A 2D/3D WorldView camera included in the tablet also requires the Windows 10 FCU, the company said, and again listed the Oct. 17 date.

The date is significant, if only because Microsoft told its customers in April that it would hew to a strict schedule of semiannual release dates, specifically in March and September. "We've... heard our customers want more predictability and simplicity from this update servicing model to help make deployments and updates of Microsoft products easier," Bernando Caldas, the general manager of Windows Commercial Marketing, wrote in a blog post.
Microsoft had not responded to a request for comment by press time.
What this means for you: Microsoft apparently feels that the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update isn't ready for prime time, whether it be from a feature standpoint or simply squashing bugs. For consumers, this doesn't mean all that much, save for disappointing consumers who wanted some of the features of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update as soon as they can. For enterprises, though, this could be a more serious delay, if only because it breaks a promise made earlier by Microsoft to its customers.
Is mixed reality holding up the Fall Creators Update?
Unlike previous major updates to Windows 10, the Fall Creators Update will ship with hardware attached: mixed-reality headsets developed by Asus, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Those headsets are being shown off at the IFA conference in Berlin this week.
Unfortunately, three of the four vendors—Asus, Dell, and Lenovo—have all announced that their headsets will ship in October. The head-mounted displays (HMDs), as they're known, will ship for a few hundred dollars, and generally come bundled with two motion controllers. The Dell Visor will ship as a $450 bundle; Acer's unnamed headset will sell as a bundle for $399. The Lenovo Explorer bundle of a HMD plus the controllers will be priced at $349.99. It will ship in October, too, the company said Thursday. None of the companies have said exactly when in October they'll ship, though.
If history holds, Microsoft will release the Windows 10 FCU as an Insider release a week or two before the Fall Creators Update is officially released to consumers. Microsoft then rolls out the official release in waves, usually to the most modern PCs first.

How broadcast TV news covered environmental justice over the past four years
Corporate broadcast news shows failed to consistently contextualize how environmental impacts, regulations, and health hazards disproportionately harm socially marginalized communities
Special Programs Climate & Energy
Written by Evlondo Cooper
Research contributions from Allison Fisher & Ted MacDonald
Published 05/06/21 11:10 AM EDT
Even though environmental pollution affects everyone, low-income communities and communities of color are often disproportionately harmed by poor air, water, and soil caused by fossil fuel pollution and chemical contamination. This is no accident: The industries causing the bulk of this pollution lobby vociferously to weaken environmental regulations at the local, state, and federal level, while seeking to avoid accountability for the harm that results from lax standards and choosing to site their physical infrastructure near vulnerable communities.
Media Matters analyzed broadcast news coverage of any environmental pollution impacts to the air, water, and soil -- particularly as caused by fossil fuel and chemical industries -- regulatory actions that would affect specific communities or demographic groups, and environmental health hazards that pose risks to specific demographic groups or communities from January 2017 through December 2020. For the purposes of this study, we counted mentions of a socially marginalized population as an environmental justice segment.
Our study found 11.4%, or 30 of 264, corporate broadcast morning and evening news segments included a mention of how these environmental pollution impacts, regulations, or health hazards specifically affected a particular demographic group. But rarely did these environmental justice segments contextualize the disproportionate harm environmental injustice has on socially marginalized communities due to systemic inequalities and injustices. In short, environmental pollution impacts were reported, but injustices were not.
Media Matters analyzed the morning and evening news programs for ABC, CBS, and NBC from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2020. In addition, weeknight episodes of PBS NewsHour were reviewed for a comparison point, but they were not included in the full dataset.
Corporate broadcast news rarely covered environmental impacts, regulations, or health hazards through an environmental justice lens

Notable environmental justice segments
Broadcast news coverage was rife with missed opportunities to cover environmental injustices
How PBS applied an environmental justice lens to certain prominent stories
A brief history of the environmental justice movement
Ways corporate TV news can increase and improve its environmental justice reporting
From January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2020, corporate broadcast morning and evening news shows — on ABC, CBS, and NBC — aired a combined 264 segments about environmental pollution impacts, regulations, or health hazards and 30 segments, or 11.4% of them, mentioned their effects on socially marginalized communities.
CBS aired the highest number of segments (18) followed by NBC (9), and ABC (3). CBS also aired the highest percentage of environmental justice segments (14.4%), followed by NBC (13.6%), and ABC (4.2%).
The majority of environmental justice segments (63%) aired in 2017. ABC aired 100% of its environmental justice segments in 2017, followed by CBS (61%), and NBC (56%).
The most common segment topics that connected environmental pollution impacts to socially marginalized communities were Indigenous communities' and environmental activists' opposition to proposed fossil fuel infrastructure and regulatory rollbacks (16), health hazards such as water pollution and lead contamination (11), and struggling fossil fuel industry workers (3).
The demographic groups that received the most environmental justice coverage were American Indian or Alaska Native (14 segments), followed by poor/low income (8), Black or African American (4), and Hispanic/Latino (1). There were three segments that mentioned multiple demographics.
Topics such as industrial accidents and Superfund sites, disaster recovery, and COVID-19 were rarely reported through an environmental justice lens.
From January 2017 to December 2020, only 30 of 264 (11.4%) corporate broadcast segments -- on ABC, CBS, and NBC -- about environmental pollution impacts, regulations, or health hazards contextualized their effects on socially marginalized communities. CBS aired the highest number of segments (18) followed by NBC (9), and ABC (3), CBS also aired the highest percentage of environmental justice segments (14.4%), followed by NBC (13.6%), and ABC (4.2%).

The most common environmental justice segment topics were about Indigenous communities' and environmental activists' opposition to proposed fossil fuel infrastructure and regulatory rollbacks (16), health hazards such as water pollution and lead contamination (11), and struggling fossil fuel industry workers (3).
The majority of environmental justice segments, 63%, or 19 out of 30 aired in 2017, coinciding with the heavy emphasis on the Trump administration's decision to allow the development of fossil fuel infrastructure, such as the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines on Indigenous lands, as well as the administration's decision to drastically shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments.
In 2018, broadcast networks aired two environmental justice segments, five in 2019, and four in 2020. The dearth of segments since 2017 was not due to a lack of potential environmental justice stories; there were plenty of opportunities to apply an environmental justice lens to myriad stories about disaster recovery, industrial accidents and contamination, and the Trump administration's aggressive regulatory rollbacks.

But it just wasn't the lack of quantity; the environmental justice stories that broadcast news did air were often shallow and decontextualized.
Even the segments that applied an environmental justice lens to a particular story often barely skimmed the surface to contextualize how America's history of racial and economic injustice has forced low-income communities and communities of color to bear the burden of polluted air, water, and land, as well as the resulting disproportionately harmful health outcomes.
For example, most of the 16 segments about Indigenous communities and environmental activists' opposition to the development of fossil fuel infrastructure on Indigenous lands only briefly discussed the potential environmental harm the Dakota Access and Keystone XL pipelines would have on the water and soil. And, in the wake of the Trump administration's decision to shrink the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments, few segments detailed the long-term harm mining has on surrounding communities.
The few segments that detailed the economic plight of workers in extractive industries such as coal mining did a good job detailing the effects the decrease in coal demand had on communities and families. But these segments never introduced the idea of Just Transition, a "vision-led, unifying and place-based set of principles, processes, and practices that build economic and political power to shift from an extractive economy to a regenerative economy." The larger systemic forces driving down the standard of living of coal communities and the ideas to help these communities transition to a green economy went largely unexamined.
By far, the strongest environmental justice segments were stories about the adverse health effects of environmental pollution on marginalized communities. This includes water pollution, air pollution, and exposure to toxic and hazardous substances. The scale of human exposure to environmental health hazards is nearly unimaginable; in 2018, more than 100 million Americans lived with poor air quality for more than 100 days, millions of people are still exposed to lead via their water supplies, and approximately 9 million people live near a hazardous waste site. Low-income communities and communities of color are disproportionately exposed to these health hazards.
Despite their failure to adequately capture the scale of the environmental health hazards facing people across the country, particularly among socially marginalized communities, broadcast news shows did air a few high-quality segments that provided a glimpse of what a sustained commitment to contextualizing environmental justice would look like. We highlight a few of those below.
Although the vast majority of corporate broadcast environmental segments failed to contextualize the historic and systemic inequities that lead to disparate outcomes for vulnerable populations, Media Matters' review did find some reporting that demonstrated what a robust commitment to sustained and substantive environmental justice journalism could look like.
For example, the June 28, 2017, episode of CBS Evening News featured a segment about a Harvard study that found "long-term exposure to airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone increases the risk of premature death, even when that exposure is at levels below the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) currently established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency." The segment also noted that Atlanta, a majority-Black city, had some of the worst air quality in the country.
In addition to detailing the study's findings, the segment also featured the mother of a small child who was diagnosed with severe asthma and gave her an opportunity to discuss how the poor air quality harms the child's health.

CBS Evening News aired another strong environmental justice segment during its September 18, 2017, episode that focused on how a battery plant in Los Angeles was contaminating a predominantly Latino community with lead and other toxic materials.
The segment detailed that lead contamination can cause brain damage and stunt the growth of children and highlighted the lack of accountability of polluting industries. It also featured a local public official questioning the lack of urgency from state and federal agencies tasked with oversight and lamenting the "disregard for the community."
Citation From the September 18, 2017, episode of CBS Evening News
The September 7, 2020, episode of NBC Nightly News featured a strong segment about Black and Latino Americans being twice as likely as whites to die from asthma caused by industrial and transportation pollution. The segment, which focused on communities in Newark, New Jersey, detailed the daily pollution the residents are exposed to, from airplanes to trash incinerators to the nearly nonstop stream of cargo trucks entering and leaving the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The segment also featured people living with the disproportionate health consequences of the surrounding industrial pollution and, notably, included an interview with an environmental justice organizer, Kim Gaddy, who summarized the disparities faced by Newark residents by plainly noting, "This is definitely environmental racism that is existing in this community."

Other notable environmental justice segments included a July 18, 2017, Today show segment about how a likely carcinogenic chemical -- named 1,2,3-TCP -- has polluted the water supply in Arvin, California; a September 21, 2017, CBS This Morning segment about a study that found a 58% increase in fetal death rates in the wake of the Flint water crisis; and a July 24, 2019, CBS Evening News segment about a chemical plant in Louisiana's notorious Cancer Alley that may be spiking cancer rates in the surrounding communities.
These strong segments were anomalies. Far more common were missed opportunities to apply an environmental justice lens to relevant topics.
In Media Matters' review of four years of broadcast networks' environmental coverage, we found repeated instances of reporting on disaster recovery, industrial accidents and Superfund sites that left out key details about who was being harmed and why.
Despite relevant and compelling news hooks, broadcast news shows rarely applied an environmental justice lens to these stories to inform their viewers about the social, political, and economic factors that make socially marginalized communities less healthy, safe, and sustainable.
Broadcast news shows heavily covered extreme weather events such as hurricanes, and the data shows they rarely mentioned the specific risks to marginalized communities. This failure to apply a climate justice lens to these stories also extends to environmental justice. Corporate broadcast news failed to cover the socioeconomic realities that make low-income and minority communities less able to afford the economic costs of evacuating, rebuilding, or relocating. These inequities are often compounded by discriminatory practices in receiving federal aid.
For example, broadcast news shows aired multiple segments about people who lack flood insurance, with the bulk of these segments airing in the wake of hurricanes Harvey in 2017 and Florence in 2018. While these segments touched on the difficulty some people had recovering after a natural disaster, they failed to contextualize why low-income and minority communities are more likely to live in flood-prone areas and find it more difficult to obtain disaster assistance, especially as federal flood insurance becomes more cost prohibitive.
Industrial accidents & Superfund sites
Broadcast news shows aired dozens of segments about industrial accidents that occurred across the country in the past four years. These stories ran the gamut from a collapsed tunnel the Hanford Nuclear Reservation to oil refinery explosions to chemical plant fires and contamination.
Most of these segments were news briefs about a particular incident, and none of these segments contextualized the disproportionate impact these explosions, leaks, and spills have on low-income communities and communities of color. According to a study produced by Coming Clean, The Environmental Justice Health Alliance for Chemical Policy Reform, and The Campaign for Healthier Solutions, Blacks, Latinos, and low-income earners live near hazardous facilities at disproportionate rates. The study also found:
People living nearest to these high-risk chemical facilities (known as the fenceline areas or zones), and the businesses, schools, and hospitals in these areas, are especially at risk from disasters. They are at greatest risk of immediate death or injury, are likely to be exposed to the highest level of toxic chemicals released, and have the least amount of time to evacuate or otherwise protect themselves.
Nearly 40% of people in the United States, 124 million, live within three miles of a hazardous facility. The risks of living near these fencelines are well-documented, and there are many groups dedicated to improving the safety of these facilities. But neither the scale of the dangers, nor the detailed solutions to address them, were discussed during stories about these accidents. These human-made disasters are presented as rote, inevitable facts of life when evidence suggests they don't have to be.
Broadcast news shows also aired a few stories about Superfund sites including segments about sites that flooded during hurricanes Harvey and Maria. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's website, the Superfund ostensibly "allows EPA to clean up contaminated sites. It also forces the parties responsible for the contamination to either perform cleanups or reimburse the government for EPA-led cleanup work." However, with more than 1,500 hazardous waste sites, and an empty trust fund, the EPA's efforts to clean up Superfund sites have effectively ground to a halt.
Notably, according to a report produced by EarthJustice, "70% of hazardous waste sites officially listed on the National Priorities List (NPL) under the [Superfund] … are located within one mile of federally assisted housing." The report also noted:
The communities that live in federally assisted housing are predominately comprised of the people most vulnerable to exposure: children, people with disabilities, older adults, and are people of color.
None of the segments about various Superfund cleanup efforts included context about the low-income and communities of color being at greatest risk from living near these hazardous waste sites.
Even as evidence became available that air pollution played a role in worse health outcomes from COVID-19, corporate broadcast news shows didn't connect how the "pollution burden" borne by communities of color could be driving disproportionate death rates from COVID-19. As a result, broadcast news viewers never learned that the virus's disproportionately harmful impact on communities of color across the country was an entirely foreseeable consequence of the United States' history of environmental racism.
Public health experts and environmental justice advocates were warning in March 2020 that systemic inequities could exacerbate COVID-19's harm to Black and Latino communities. But missing from the early coverage of disproportionate minority deaths were discussions about how air pollution worsens COVID-19 outcomes and the Trump administration's assault on environmental protections could make communities of color more vulnerable to the virus.
Broadcast networks failed to make the connection between air quality and COVID-19 mortality even after scientists began identifying a probable link between air pollution and worse COVID-19 outcomes throughout March and early April 2020, and a Harvard study published on April 5 found that people who lived in areas with high levels of fine-particulate pollution were 15% more likely to die from COVID-19. Since then, a study published in April 2021 by the medical journal Respiratory Medicine found that "a one-unit increase in particulate matter 2.5 was associated with a 60% higher chance of hospitalization for COVID-19 patients with pre-existing respiratory disease."
Despite abundant research showing that socially marginalized communities bear the burden of corporate fossil-fuel pollution, which increases health risks from comorbidities such as Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease, broadcast news outlets missed the opportunity to report on the intersection of environmental justice and COVID-19.
In addition to analyzing broadcast morning and evening news coverage, Media Matters also reviewed a sample of PBS Newshour's environmental justice segments for comparison. Our review of PBS segments focused on the recurring environmental justice topics covered by broadcast news, as well as missed opportunities. In many instances, PBS Newshour reported on these stories with depth and substance rarely replicated on broadcast news programs.
For example, the March 1, 2017, episode of PBS Newshour included a segment about Indigenous communities' opposition to the Dakota Access Pipeline, while also detailing the history of federal incursion on Indigenous lands and the environmental threats posed by pipelines.
Citation From the March 1, 2017, episode of PBS Newshour
PBS aired a segment on September 1, 2017, that focused on the unique challenges Hurricane Harvey posed to undocumented families in Texas trying to recover from the storm, which included fear of raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the inability to qualify for disaster aid.
Citation From the September 1, 2017, episode of PBS Newshour
The September 12, 2017, episode of PBS Newshour featured a segment about coal miners in Appalachia confronted with the harsh economic realities of a declining industry. Notably, the segment also focused on the efforts of some nonprofit groups to help unemployed workers find sustainable jobs.
Citation From the September 12, 2018, episode of PBS Newshour
PBS NewsHour aired a story on September 17, 2018, about how hard it was for the poor, Black residents of a housing project in New Bern, North Carolina, to recover after the devastation of Hurricane Florence. The segment described their struggles before the storm and how natural disasters made their struggles that much harder.
The disproportionate harm air pollution has on low-income communities and communities of color was discussed during the January 31, 2018, episode of PBS Newshour during a nearly 10-minute segment about efforts to decrease diesel pollution in Oregon.
Citation From the January 31, 2018, episode of PBS Newshour
PBS Newshour aired a segment on August 20, 2020, that examined the Flint, Michigan, water crisis six years after it first made national news. Notably, it included interviews with residents who were still struggling to source clean water and with local pediatrician Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, one of the first people to sound the alarm about residents' lead levels, who discussed the current and historic inequities driving the crisis.
Citation From the August 20, 2020, episode of PBS Newshour
The environmental justice movement was born in 1982 in Warren County, North Carolina, when residents united in protesting the illegal dumping of a class of toxic chemicals called PCBs in their community. The anger and dedication of the protesters was driven by the recognition that systemically racist public policies, as evidenced in housing discrimination, labeled Black and Latino communities as undesirable for living, but suitable for polluting.
The Warren County protests drew the attention of the nation to an issue too often ignored among white environmentalists who tended to focus on issues around conservation and nature; "In poor, racially segregated communities across the country, people had been quietly fighting pollution from rail yards, coal-fired power plants, sewage treatment facilities, oil and gas refineries, and concrete batch mills. They saw their own stories playing out in Warren County," noted a recent Washington Post story about the environmental justice movement.
As the movement grew, it drew on research produced by two pioneering academics and activists who are integrally involved in the environmental justice movement to this day. In the mid-1970s, Dr. Robert Bullard began researching landfill placement in Houston and discovered that all the approved landfill sites were in Black neighborhoods. Throughout the 1980s he expanded his research and found that there was a pattern of hazardous sites being placed in predominantly Black communities throughout the United States.
Dr. Beverly Wright collaborated with Bullard in the 1980s to produce a study on Louisiana's "Cancer Alley," an area lined with chemical and oil factories where residents are more than 50 times as likely to be diagnosed with cancer than the average American. Since then, she has worked around the country to identify polluted communities and help them fight environmentally racist policies that harm their health and safety.
Backed by early victories such as Warren County, and a growing body of research illustrating the pervasiveness of environmental racism, early environmental justice leaders sought accountability and support from the wider environmental movement. In early 1990, leaders of the nascent environmental justice movement sent a letter to the National Wildlife Federation affirming their belief that "through dialogue and mutual strategizing we can create a global environmental movement that protects us all."
Since then, while the "Big Green" environmental groups have endeavored to embrace environmental justice, deep disparities in funding and inclusion persist within these legacy organizations. But grassroots environmental justice activists and organizations are not waiting around for the legacy environmental groups to save them; groups from across the country remain active in their local communities, as well as the national discourse. And the National Black Environmental Justice Network, which at its height represented "nearly 300 Black grassroots, environmental and economic justice activists," was relaunched in 2020 to address many of the same systemic ills it fought more than 20 years ago.
To learn more about the environmental justice movement and the work of two of its early founders, you can watch the videos below:
Broadcast TV must begin reporting on how environmental impacts and regulations specifically affect socially marginalized communities including how and why they are at greater risk. Environmental justice became a key campaign issue during the 2020 election and a priority for the Biden administration. As such, broadcast news shows' coverage of environmental pollution impacts, regulations, and health hazards must reflect the urgency of the moment.
To begin telling an untold story about the precarious lives of those from vulnerable and underserved communities living in the shadow of our nation's energy and chemical complexes, corporate broadcast news must begin reporting on how environmental justice intersects with people's everyday lives and connecting environmental consequences to political and corporate policies and practices that lead to disproportionate and inequitable harm. They must also feature and amplify people from fenceline communities and continue to tell their stories in the ensuing days, months, and years.
Environmental justice affects Midwest farmers who must recover from increasingly cataclysmic flooding to struggling coal miners advocating for a "just transition" away from fossil fuel extraction to Indigenous populations protesting extractive industries poisoning their lands to Black and Latino communities fighting for clean air and water in their neighborhoods.
Applying an environmental justice lens to these stories means reporting on their throughline or commonality; it means contextualizing the disproportionate harm these communities face by reporting on the systemic inequalities and injustices that shape them. It also means informing the public about the ways these communities are fighting for their health and wellbeing and what public policy solutions exist to aid them in their efforts.
Media Matters searched transcripts in the Nexis database for the national morning and evening news programs on ABC, CBS, and NBC for segments that mentioned specific environmental pollution impacts, regulations, or health hazards using any of the terms "chemical," "pollution," "air pollution," "particulate matter," "ozone," "smog," "soot," "asthma," "fossil fuel," "oil," "coal," "fracking," "natural gas," "air quality," "carbon emission," "greenhouse," "water pollution," "contaminant," "Superfund," "environment," "health hazard," "drill," "contamination," "Environmental Protection Agency," "EPA," "climate change," "global warming," "climate crisis," "carbon footprint," "pollutant," "toxin," "toxic," "hurricane," "tropical storm," or "flood" from January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2020.
We reviewed segments, which we defined as instances when environmental impacts, regulations, or health hazards were the stated topic of discussion or when we found "significant discussion" of environmental impacts, regulations, or health hazards. We defined significant discussion as instances when two or more speakers discussed environmental impacts, regulations, or health hazards with one another.
To determine how broadcast news programs told stories about environmental impacts that are overwhelmingly borne by poor and minority communities, we reviewed the identified segments for any mentions of any of the demographic and socio-economic terms "White," "Black," "African American," "American Indian," "Alaska Native," "Latino," "Hispanic," "Indigenous," "low income," "poor," or "immigrant."
To count as an environmental justice segment, it had to connect the environmental impact, regulation, or health hazard to a specific "race, color, national origin, or income," per the Environmental Protection Agency's definition of environmental justice. We analyzed the identified segments for whether they mentioned that the environmental pollution impact, regulation, or health hazard affected a fixed community or population.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom–A Marvelous Movies Review
August 29, 2019 Sam Ewell Avengers, Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel, Reviews, Spider-Man, Thor Leave a comment
Photo: Universal Pictures
Today we'll review one of last year's biggest summer blockbusters–none other than Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. The film is a fun piece of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that brings back some of our favorite characters for a life-or-death prehistoric adventure. It stars Chris Pratt as Peter Quill/Star-Lord, Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy, and Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster.
The story picks up after 2015's Jurassic World, in which Star-Lord and Bishop (Omar Sy) defeated the Kingpin (Vincent D'onofrio) and befriended the dinosaurs of the Savage Land with the help of young sidekick Harley Keener (Ty Simpkins). A few years later, we see Star-Lord temporarily back on Earth, beginning to reconnect with his love, Gwen Stacy. Somehow, Gwen always seems to fall for guys named Peter–but only if they crack jokes, wear red costumes, and have hyphenated superhero names beginning with S. (And she's still outdone by Kitty Pryde, who gets the award for having dated the most Peters in the Marvel comics.)
The film's plot pits Gwen and Peter against a number of villains from Marvel lore. It's the villainous Robert Callaghan (James Cromwell), last seen in Big Hero 6 (2014), who first summons Peter and Gwen back to the Savage Land. Since we last saw him battling five kids and a robot, it's no surprise that his plans here end up threatening the teens who befriend Peter and Gwen. Villainous HYDRA scientist Arnim Zola (Toby Jones), last seen in Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), also plays a role in trying to sell militarized dinosaurs as weapons on the black market.
But the central plot, of course, involves the Grandmaster returning after the events of Thor: Ragnarok (2017) to orchestrate more of his cosmic tournaments of chaos. While he is rarely seen in action alongside the heroes, he clearly manipulates events from behind the scenes to trap Peter and Gwen once more in the Savage Land, a legendary prehistoric land still overrun with dinosaurs. Despite Star-Lord's separation from the rest of his team or any of his alien technology, he and Gwen manage to survive long enough to get back to the mainland. These odds of survival seem far-fetched for sure, but given this film's placement after Avengers: Infinity War, some fans have speculated that this entire adventure of being hunted by dinosaurs is only taking place in Star-Lord's mind while he's trapped inside the soul stone after the snap. And if that's the case, then it really serves him right for completely screwing up the Avengers' plans and letting Thanos go free.
Still, we're pretty sure that this movie must take place before Infinity War, because Gwen Stacy has never really been known for her ability to survive a snap. Sorry, was that line a bridge too far?

From the Jury: "The multi-modal nature of this is a great strength. No matter what capacity of the various audiences might be, they have provided a tool that everyone can use."
Sea Change: Boston is a research initiative on sea level rise that advocates for long-term coastal resiliency in the Greater Boston area. The Sea Change team, led by landscape architects, collaborated with experts in science, academia, advocacy, and policy-making to engage in preparedness planning at the building, city, and regional scales. Designers curated an exhibition to showcase this research, highlighting Boston's vulnerabilities and demonstrating design strategies for resilience. The exhibition shared the Sea Change research with the broader Boston community in an engaging and accessible format, rich with graphics and interactive media. Events and digital media associated with the exhibition catalyzed a conversation among designers, city officials, real estate leaders, and academics about a specific call to action: to develop a regional resiliency plan for the Greater Boston area. Outcomes of Sea Change have included authorship of Designing with Water with the Boston Harbor Association, advising for Boston Living with Water Competition, and implementation of Climate Ready Boston, Boston's climate change vulnerability assessment.
