Dr. Laura's "In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms" (and a visit to "The Ultimate Frontier")
Author: Laura Schlessinger:
Title: In "Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms".
Publication and Description: 2009, Harper. ISBN 978-0-06-169029-7, 208 pages, hardcover; eight chapters with Introduction, Post-Script and even a "post-post-script".
Well, Dr. Laura Schlessinger earned some gentle notoriety in the 1990s with her common sense morality on radio talk shows, and her books, including "How Could You Do That" and "The Stupid Things" that both women and men do to ruin their lives. She would talk about stupid conception, and note that, after divorce, kids were often better off with the remaining single moms than in new families with step-parents.
And she would also open with the tautology, "I am my kids' mom."
And she used to punt back to God's law, although in recent years that has become much less politically acceptable. She has made gays made, with her use of the phrase "biological error" (here is an account from "Outraged Richard", also on Wikipedia) and then her preference to Richard Cohen's "Coming out Straight: Understanding and Healing Homosexuality."
But, more recently, she appeared on Larry King Live to discuss her book, and said that committed gay relationships were a good thing; it's always good to encourage commitment.
But let's get to the book itself. The copy from Amazon came with her autograph, in red. That's unusual with Amazon orders in my experience. The book is written in simple language and has many letters and notes, some of which are not always written with perfect clarity.
In her introduction, Schlessinger insists that she is not trying to re-ignite the culture wars; she is writing mainly for the benefit of kids, who really do benefit from a full-time mom. She coins an acronym, SAHM (that reminds me of a not-so-nice acronym from troubled times of my young manhood, "shim"). But it's impossible to resist going down some existential paths, and she hints at some important conclusions even for people who don't have their own kids: this is your business, too.
I interrupt myself here: on NBC Nightly News on May 4, 2009 there was a report on a study, claiming that a stay-at-home mom's compensation would be $123,000 a year on the corporate marketplace if women were to be paid fairly. And the number thrown around for women who work full time and follow Betty Friedan's lead, by way of comparison, was $76000 a year. And, I must add (by the way, in fairness) that Schlessinger mentions that working mothers often lean on stay-at-home moms (because they had "so much time") to help with the dirty work (p 163).
One of the trickiest points, at which Dr. Laura digresses from Ayn Rand's "non-contradiction" policy, concerns how to get hubby to go along. At one point she seems to say, if your fiancée won't agree to become the sole support, then find someone who will. But later, she deals with the immediacy of pregnancy (she talks about hers early on, at 35) and says, woman, make up your mind and go tell your husband you will stay home with the kids.
I divert again for a moment. Back in the 1980s, I investigated the "Stelle Group" of Richard Kieninger (Eklal Kueshana), with the book "The Ultimate Frontier," and the planned communities he set up, one of which was to be Stelle, IL (near Kankakee) which, at the time of its establishment around 1970, had as part of its homeowners' bylaws a requirement that the husband be the sole breadwinner in the family. It later dropped the requirement. But Kieninger's book went into some long discussions about why it is mandatory for a man to marry and have children, and I'll come back to that. I remember those Sunday sessions at the Unitarian Church in University Park (Dallas), Texas in the 1980s.
Dr. Laura takes the position (on p 47 and following) that wives can demand that their husbands be "man enough" to become a sole breadwinner. Okay, I get it, and I'll say that when I was growing up, particularly through my tween years in the 1950s, I had good reason to wonder if I would ever become "competitive" enough as a "male" to provide for and protect women and children (by way of comparison to the families of others, as seen by the values of the 1950s). That certainly affected my thinking. On p 201, in her "post-post script" (I don't mean a printer), Laura gives, in italics, "Mother Laura's Top Five Things a Dad Needs to Do to Help His Wife Be the Best SAHM She Can Be" (and she's not an Army of One).
In fact, let's project on to male psychology. I'll venture from political correctness and say that, if I really got into the idea that I would "live forever" through my progeny if my own life came to nothing in terms of individual cultural accomplishments, then I might find "providing for and protecting" a woman and family could be "exciting" (I could be more explicit). I didn't. Even by the 1950s it was becoming apparent that a technological world (IGY was coming, with Sputnik) would offer different strokes for different folks, and would need its future incarnations of Alan Turing. But I can imagine that if I "invested" in progeny, I would have wanted to be pampered as a parent and would have become intolerant of those not "brave" enough to take the dive – which I didn't.
She gets warmer on p 74 when she writes: "Life is just not always fulfilling. Callers who have to care for the elderly in their families when they already have their own marriages, children, and mortgages to deal with are not necessarily feeling very fulfilled by changing adult diapers and listening to the same stories time and time again. Yet it is in these efforts that we perfect the world." The last sentence is peculiar. The world is not perfect, so we have karma – even group karma. We have community as well as justice.
On p 109 she prints a letter (not that precisely written) about a childless woman, visiting a grocery store for routine shopping, who found herself suddenly being hugged by two loose children from the nearby(?) day care center. You start to put the pieces of this together. I'll add that when I was substitute teaching, I was "ambushed" by a couple of "child care" situations for which I am totally unprepared and which I found humiliating (including one request to borrow some swim shorts and man the deep end of the pool, at age 61). My problem wasn't "stupid conception", it was anti-conception; I still had to become involved in other people's conception.
On p 135, she becomes critical of men who feel attracted to women that can pretend to "have it all" or "do it all" (which is partly why some are attracted instead to other men). She says that men realize they have fallen into a "trap" and "regret once they are married that they don't have a giving 'mother earth' type wife to make the house and home and make her family a loving priority." Right afterwards, she reiterates her sermons (familiar to radio audience) critical of society that maximizes "self-centeredness" and minimizes "choice" (I think she meant to say "maximizes choice and minimizes accepting obligations").
So, in a community, some of us wind up being affected very much by the "choices" others make. We rarely fully understand our interdependencies. I think that Dr. Laura would have done well to include an extra chapter (not just a few "hints") on just how people who don't "choose" to marry and have children should be affected by her ideas. Ok, life happens. It's not perfect. But the insinuation is that every man should prove that he can be the sole support for a woman and family before he "enters the world." Is that what she wants?
Back in the mid 1990s, I worked with a man married to a stay-at-home mom with four kids – and they wanted to move further to the exurbs where there were more stay-at-home moms. We took corporate transfers, for very different reasons, at the same time to Minneapolis in 1997. We were moved on the same van. I thought I had a lot of household good, but his family took 80% of the space on the van. I was loaded last and unloaded first. Single people often come at a discount.

Adaptive finite element methods are a modern, widely used tool which make realistic computations feasible, even in three space dimensions. We describe the basic ideas and ingredients of adaptive FEM and the implementation of our toolbox \ALBERT. The design of \ALBERT is based on the natural hierarchy of locally refined meshes and an abstract concept of general finite element spaces. As a result, dimension independent programming of applications is possible. Numerical results from applications in two and three space dimensions demonstrate the flexibility of \ALBERT.

Have two checking accounts at home, and bring debit cards for both. First, maintain a "home base" bank account at a large bank, such as Wells Fargo or Bank of America.
Second, if you don't already have one, open a Charles Schwab Platinum checking account. Make this the main debit card you use, because Schwab actually reimburses all ATM fees you ever generate by depositing them straight back into your checking account each month. I'm not kidding. And ATM charges in foreign countries add up fast. It is not at all unusual for ATM fees to be $5 or $6 for each transaction. The reason for the two banks is this: The home base bank is a brick-and-mortar bank you can use for your second person to deposit checks and otherwise easily access. While Schwab has brick-and-mortar buildings, they do not function as walk-in banks. You can't deposit or withdraw money at these buildings; all the banking with Schwab is online. Also, if one of your cards is lost or stolen, the thief will not have access to your entire money pile if it is divided up between banks and accounts.
There are many reasons to add at least one other person, preferably two, to your two checking accounts (home base account and Schwab account). If you run into any problems, this person can easily deposit cash, write checks for you, deposit checks, and so on. They can even have a backup ATM card in case you lose yours, although you will probably need to change the card number altogether if you lose it. Also, if the worst happens, your backup person will be able to handle this part of your affairs.
Call both banks to find out how to get a replacement debit card if yours is lost or stolen. Most banks have an international phone number that you will want to keep on a separate piece of paper, preferably in duplicate. Keep this and other important information in a separate place from the cards themselves. In fact, keep the cards separate.
Let your banks know you are leaving the country and will be traveling to multiple foreign countries. This is super-important because most banks will freeze your account (for your protection) if they see unusual activity on your card and they didn't know you were traveling.
Bring a pre-paid Visa or MasterCard with a few hundred dollars on it as a backup in the event that you can't access your money any other way.
Bring a couple hundred dollars (or your home currency's equivalent) as a very last resort. You need all these backups for a variety of reasons. For example, in many countries ATMs can go down for days.
When you arrive at a country, immediately find an ATM to take out a small amount of cash for transportation and maybe food.
Never exchange your home currency at exchange stations if you can help it. They charge more and usually have the worst exchange rates. ATMs are the best way to go, with banks a close second.
Get small bills by buying a coffee or some other small item so you can get the change. In many countries, drivers will claim to not have change for your big bill, and you'll "tip" them the extra, far more than you would otherwise.
If possible, never use a free-standing ATM machine. Always use one that is attached to a bank. The free-standing ones are much more susceptible to fraud and tampering, such as having a dummy PIN pad that tracks your PIN and a dummy card reader that swallows your card. It happens, and more often than people would like to admit.
If you must use a free-standing ATM, let someone go ahead of you. This way, if there is a problem with the machine, it won't be your card that gets swallowed. Sounds terrible, I know, but this is reality.
Wear a money belt for most of the cash you do carry. Just keep a small amount in your purse or pocket. Never access your money belt in a public place.
Note that I haven't mentioned credit cards at all. Partly because I am not going to be carrying one (except for the prepaid one mentioned earlier), but also because credit cards are by far the most expensive way to travel. And if you're on an RTW, you hopefully aren't living on credit, anyway. If you do bring one, use it for emergencies only.
The main thing is you never want to completely lose access to your money. Several of these ideas serve as backups and safety precautions so that you are never left without money. Be safe, be smart, and enjoy your RTW!
Great Tips. Thank you. Much love.
Thanks, Marie! Much love right back to you.

Mozartit ist ein extrem selten vorkommendes Mineral aus der Mineralklasse der "Silikate und Germanate". Es kristallisiert im orthorhombischen Kristallsystem mit der chemischen Zusammensetzung CaMn[OHSiO4] und ist damit chemisch gesehen ein Calcium-Mangan-Silikat mit zusätzlichen Hydroxidionen. Strukturell gehört Mozartit zu den Inselsilikaten.

Mozartit entwickelt nur selten hypidiomorphe (teilgestaltige) und nach der a-Achse gestreckte, kurzprismatische Kristalle von etwas mehr als vier Zentimeter Länge mit einem glasähnlichen Glanz auf den Oberflächen. Meist findet er sich in Form von körnigen Mineral-Aggregaten und Einschlüssen in anderen Mineralen. Die durchsichtigen Kristalle sind von rötlichbrauner bis tiefroter Farbe und hinterlassen auch auf der Strichtafel einen roten Strich.

Etymologie und Geschichte

Erstmals entdeckt wurde Mozartit 1991 im Bergwerk "Cerchiara" (Cerchiara Mine) im Val di Vara (deutsch Varatal) nahe den Gemeinden Borghetto di Vara und Pignone in der norditalienischen Region Ligurien. Wissenschaftlich beschrieben und publiziert wurde das Mineral erstmals 1993 durch Riccardo Basso, Gabriella Lucchetti, Livio Zefiro und Andrea Palenzona, die es nach dem herausragenden Musiker und Komponisten Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) benannten.

Begründet wurde die unkonventionelle Wahl des Namens damit, dass das Mineral im 200. Todesjahr des Musikers entdeckt wurde und unter anderem nach den Worten des Mineralogen Alfred Whittaker eine enge Verbindung der geologischen und mineralogischen Wissenschaften mit Mozarts Musik – vor allem mit seiner letzten Oper Die Zauberflöte – bestehe. Die Oper sei zu einer Zeit komponiert worden, als sich die Geologie aus der Mineralogie, die Chemie aus der Alchemie, die Astronomie aus der Astrologie und die Mathematik aus der Numerologie entwickelt habe. Wenig bekannt sei auch die Zusammenarbeit Mozarts mit den Wissenschaftlern seiner Zeit, vor allem mit den Mineralogen Ignaz von Born und Sir Carl Ludwig Giesecke.

Das Typmaterial des Minerals wird an der Universität Genua in Italien aufbewahrt.

Klassifikation
Bereits in der veralteten, aber teilweise noch gebräuchlichen 8. Auflage der Mineralsystematik nach Strunz gehörte der Mozartit zur Mineralklasse der "Silikate und Germanate" und dort zur Abteilung der "Inselsilikate mit tetraederfremden Anionen (Neso-Subsilikate)", wo er zusammen mit Cebollit, Chantalit und Vuagnatit die unbenannte Gruppe VIII/B.23 bildete.

Die seit 2001 gültige und von der International Mineralogical Association (IMA) verwendete [[Systematik der Minerale nach Strunz (9. Auflage)#G. Inselsilikate mit zusätzlichen Anionen; Kationen in meist [6]er- und > [6]er-Koordination|9. Auflage der Strunz'schen Mineralsystematik]] ordnet den Mozartit ebenfalls in die Abteilung der "Inselsilikate (Nesosilikate)" ein. Diese ist weiter unterteilt nach der möglichen Anwesenheit zusätzlicher Anionen und der Koordination der beteiligten Kationen, so dass das Mineral entsprechend seiner Zusammensetzung in der Unterabteilung "Inselsilikate mit zusätzlichen Anionen; Kationen in meist [6]er- und > [6]er-Koordination" zu finden ist, wo es nur noch zusammen mit Vuagnatit die "Vuagnatitgruppe" mit der System-Nr. 9.AG.60 bildet.

Auch die vorwiegend im englischen Sprachraum gebräuchliche Systematik der Minerale nach Dana ordnet den Mozartit in die Klasse der "Silikate und Germanate" und dort in die Abteilung der "Inselsilikate: SiO4-Gruppen und O, OH, F und H2O" ein. Und auch hier ist er zusammen mit Vuagnatit in der "Vuagnatitgruppe" mit der System-Nr. 52.04.02 innerhalb der Unterabteilung "Inselsilikate: SiO4-Gruppen und O, OH, F und H2O mit Kationen in [6] und/oder > [6]-Koordination" zu finden.

Kristallstruktur
Mozartit kristallisiert orthorhombisch in der  mit den Gitterparametern a = 7,22 Å; b = 8,69 Å und c = 5,84 Å sowie 4 Formeleinheiten pro Elementarzelle.

Bildung und Fundorte
Mozartit bildet sich im metamorphosierten Mangan-Lagerstätten. Als Begleitminerale treten unter anderem Calcit, Hausmannit, Pektolith und Quarz auf.

Mozartit gehört zu den sehr seltenen Mineralbildungen, von denen bisher nur wenige Proben existieren, die an bisher (Stand 2015) vier bekannten Fundorten gesammelt wurden. Neben seiner Typlokalität Cerchiara Mine in Italien kennt man das Mineral noch aus der Kamisugai Mine in der Präfektur Ehime auf der japanischen Insel Shikoku sowie die Wessels Mine bei Hotazel und die N'Chwaning II Mine bei Kuruman in den Manganfeldern der Kalahari in der südafrikanischen Provinz Nordkap.

I was hoping he would play one more year for the Broncos. Best wishes DeMarcus.
I secretly wasn't all that interested in re-signing him, so this comes as a bit of a relief. He had a good stint here - mentored a lot of our younger guys and helped turn them into leaders. Respect.
Great football player and a great man.
His dimples always drew me in.
Pure class. I'm glad Denver was able to help him get his ring. His leadership will be missed.
He was a part of that great FA class Elway brought in that changed the whole dynamic of the team. He was a big part of the reason we won the Super Bowl last year. Nothing but respect for that guy.
Such a class guy. And now he can start his next career as an action figure. Dude is built just like the GI-Joes I played with as a kid.
Surprises me a little but might have been a deal of if he couldn't play for Denver or Dallas then he didn't want to play.
It will be all right. I think he did the right thing. He's got nothing left to prove.
A true leader. Thanks mr. Ware.
DeMarcus - you are the epitome of what an NFL player should be.
Congrats on your Hall of Fame career & thank you for becoming a Bronco!
I'm sure he's not interested in it (yet) but I'd love to see him as a consultant/motivator/coach with the Broncos. Von needs him.
Three years after meeting in Dallas, Von Miller and DeMarcus Ware joined forces in Denver. Together, the mentor and mentee formed the best pass-rushing threat in the league.
This story initailly ran on Sept. 8, 2016 ahead of the Broncos' season opener against the Carolina Panthers.
The beginning came five years before DeMarcus Ware and Von Miller grabbed a Gatorade cooler and snuck up behind Gary Kubiak with a Super Bowl 50 victory in hand.
The beginning came before the blockbuster free-agent signing, before the "Dancing with the Stars" appearance and before the Super Bowl MVP award.
The beginning came a combined 114.5 sacks ago.
Long before any of that, Miller and Ware met on the field of Cowboys Stadium.
The Broncos had flown to Dallas to begin the 2011 preseason, and Miller faced the first set of expectations that have followed him ever since Executive Vice President of Football Operations/General Manager John Elway drafted him second overall.
On that field in Arlington, Texas, the rookie had his first opportunity to meet one of the game's most-productive pass rushers.
Sad to see him retire but glad he did. Dids not want to see his back so get more screwed up that it would impact him long term. I would have taken him back another year but he played what half a season last year with same back issues.
DENVER — DeMarcus Ware stood at his locker on multiple occasions last season, talking more like a coach than a player. He missed time with a fractured right forearm. He finished the season on the injured reserve with a bulging disc in his back that required surgery.
Ware, 34, talked bravely of continuing his career. But as the days became weeks this offseason, the question was simple: What for?
Ware won a Super Bowl ring in 2016, his speech the night before Super Bowl 50 credited for inspiring the team to victory. He finished with 138.5 sacks, ranking eighth all-time. He boasts a Hall of Fame resume, and on Monday decided it was time to retire rather than pursue a limited role with the Broncos or another team. It's likely he will have avenues in broadcast available after hosting his own show on NFL Network last year.
"After a lot of thought and prayer, I've decided to accept the unknown and retire from my NFL career," Ware wrote in a statement he posted on Twitter. "Tempting opportunities still present themselves for me to play and I feel better than I have in years. However, long term health and quality of life outweigh the spark and passion to play that I once had."
Former Broncos defensive coordinator Wade Phillips called Ware a Hall of Famer in every way. He told Denver7 on Monday, "DeMarcus was the easiest guy to coach ever. Just had to tell him to sic'em and he did the rest."
Proud to be your teammate!! Congrats on the career!!
 you the man D.Ware !
so long, and thanks for all the fish!!
Classy player, going out the classy way. Best wishes to him.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — As the praise for the recently retired DeMarcus Ware rolled in Monday afternoon, former Head Coach Gary Kubiak made sure to express his gratitude for one of the key players in his locker room.
Ware, who joined the Broncos in 2014, served as a captain in Denver for each of Kubiak's two seasons as head coach. When the Broncos won Super Bowl 50 in February 2015, it was Ware — along with Von Miller — who poured Gatorade over Kubiak's head.
After that accomplishment in 2015, the pair spent a final year together in Denver in 2016.
"DeMarcus was one of the great players in this league for many years and one of the finest human beings you'll ever come across," Kubiak said. "He was a once-in-a-generation player who will go down as one of the all-time great pass rushers in NFL history. Just as important, he showed so much class and leadership with everything he did on and off the field.
"The way he battled through injury in 2015 and played at such a high level in the playoffs was remarkable. I'll always remember his talks to our team the night before the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl 50, telling us what it meant to be part of our team and have the chance to win a Super Bowl. It was very powerful.
Congrats D Ware! World class person, teammate, leader and friend!
As DeMarcus Ware closes out his distinguished NFL career, we look back on his best moments as a Bronco.
okay, i gotta ask. . . what the hell is that M thing for?
Mate or Meat. Or matemeat. Or meatmate.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — A little more than a year after celebrating the retirement of one of the greatest players in NFL history, the Broncos are doing it all over again. This time, they're honoring DeMarcus Ware after the 12-year veteran announced his retirement Monday.
"DeMarcus Ware is not only a Hall of Fame player, but a Hall of Fame teammate as well. I played against DeMarcus and played with him. It was an honor and a privilege to have done both.
"Being a teammate with DeMarcus and being a captain of the team was a real privilege for me. DeMarcus loved football. He loved everything about it. He loved putting the work in, loved helping the young players and of course loved playing on Sundays. It is no surprise why he was such an outstanding football player. It was because of his work ethic and his real passion for the game. It was an honor to call him a teammate and a friend. I just know he'll be a great success in his post-playing days.
"I wish him all the best. He truly is one of a kind."
DeMarcus Ware came to Denver looking for a ring, but he found so much more during his three years with the Broncos.
A compilation of DeMarcus Ware's best soundbites during the 2016 season.
It's the "hand horns" rock and roll symbol in keyboard characters. It's a metal head (like North and myself) thing.
Looks like a weak version of the NWO Too Sweet.
God bless Ronnie James Dio.
RAY: You always hear the horror stories about guys getting to the league and having a veteran there who gives him the cold shoulder. But for me it was the opposite. From the day I got there we would work on hand drills after practice, or watch that extra 15 minutes of film. He helped me work on my technique every day. He told me I was going to be great and I didn't have a choice if it was up to him, so he pushed me to be a better me every day. Even when I beat a guy and got a sack in practice, he always found a way to critique it and make me better. That just shows his leadership.
That type of late-career contract for an aging star has gone awry countless times, but for the Broncos, it turned out to be worth every penny. It's no coincidence that Ware's arrival in Denver coincided with Miller's ascent. Ware's effect on Miller's approach was widely understood. "You helped me become the person/player I am today," Miller wrote on his Instagram account on Monday. With Ware's guidance, Miller's unlimited potential was finally unlocked during the Broncos' march to a championship after the 2015 season, but shaping his fellow pass rusher was far from Ware's only impact during that Super Bowl run. Ware was a devastating force in the season's most crucial moments, hitting Tom Brady seven times in the AFC championship game and adding two sacks of Cam Newton during the biggest game of his life.
In the locker room following the Broncos' championship win, most of the attention was understandably directed toward Miller and Peyton Manning, but Ware's jubilation was just as noteworthy. The all-time great had just a single playoff win in his career before arriving in Denver, but he became a Super Bowl champion after a decade in the NFL, long after most players have come and gone. Considering everything else that Ware has accomplished at the individual level, that may seem superfluous when examining the full scope of his greatness. In a way, though, all the praise Ware garnered on Monday still might not be enough to provide proper context for how remarkable his career was.
It's impossible to measure how much Ware was the reason the Broncos won SB 50, but I wouldn't be surprised if his name was the first out of a lot of the player's mouths--for his leadership, mentorship, and playmaking when it counted most. His presence on the defense will be missed.
The responsible, accountable grinders never get their due of accolades for all the thankless, behind-the-scenes work they do 24/7 that really keeps everything humming along in the black. Fans don't see it. I'm married to that type, and I respect the hell out of it even though it's not my style--probably why I married her lol. I bet Ware was that kind of guy and I hope his example lives on through the dudes that played with him.
Carol if a tent fell on you I would make you my world famous chili.
It's shocking to consider. Manning only played four seasons for the Broncos, and Ware for three, but they were two of the best leaders the Denver franchise ever had. And now in a 12-month span, both retired.
Still don't think the Broncos are in transition?
This leadership thing... Something to watch. I'm glad Chris Harris Jr. is on the team. There is a leadership void on offense, it will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Now that DeMarcus Ware is retiring, there is perhaps no authority more qualified to weigh in on his NFL impact than current Rams defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
Phillips was the Cowboys' head coach from 2007 through 2010, as Ware averaged 15 sacks -- twice as the league leader -- while playing at an All Pro level. When Ware signed with Denver to close out his career, Phillips followed suit as the coordinator dialing up blitzes for the Super Bowl 50 champions.
Phillips ended up coaching Ware for half of his 12 NFL seasons.
"Sometimes it's a sad day when a player retires," Phillips said Monday on Up to the Minute Live, "but it's really kind of a happy day when you get to reflect on all the wonderful times you had together with him and all the great accomplishments that DeMarcus had in his career."
Asked what separated Ware from other premier pass rushers, Phillips cited his "tremendous" talent level.
Something changed in Ware between early February and mid-March, and it had nothing to do with opportunity, or lack thereof. Ware says he had offers from three teams — the Rams, Cowboys and Broncos — and he believes he could have performed well for any of them. In fact, he admits that had his contract with the Broncos not expired, he would have been back this year.
But his recent thoughts extended beyond 2017.
What if his troublesome back were to give out when he tried to lift his 9-year-old daughter? What if he could no longer playfully wrestle with his 6-year-old son, or help coach him in flag football?
"Football life is pretty short," says Ware, 34. "But your life after football is a long time, and what type of quality do you have?"
In one of his first extensive interviews since he announced his retirement from the NFL, DeMarcus Ware sat down with The Denver Post on Thursday and opened up about his bout with injuries, his reasons for stepping away and some of his favorite moments in Denver.
But during the 90-minute conversation, Ware shared much more about his his 12-year NFL career, from his 138.5 career sacks, to his time with Von Miller and Shane Ray, to the top highlight of his career that left him tears.
What do your 138.5 career sacks mean to you now?
"I look at all these sacks and think about how I got there. It wasn't from always being the best or being the most heavily recruited or the guy that was the most-sought-after. I went back home last year and I went to the apartment I stayed in and it was No. 56. The person I tried to always model my play after was Lawrence Taylor, but I never thought about 56 that was on that apartment door. You start thinking about those small things and how they progress.
"I look at this right here (the list of quarterbacks he sacked) and look at all the accolades and I feel like it started as a child, wanting to have my own identity instead of just being a football player. I never thought about being a football player because everybody in my family was a football player. I wanted to play baseball. I wanted to run track. I blew my arm out in baseball so I started playing football. It was happenstance. I started playing football and I go to Troy and I'm a 180-pound wide receiver and they stick me at defensive end.

New Hampshire Motor Speedway is a  oval speedway located in Loudon, New Hampshire, which has hosted NASCAR racing annually since 1990, as well as the longest-running motorcycle race in North America, the Loudon Classic. Nicknamed "The Magic Mile", the speedway is often converted into a  road course, which includes much of the oval.

The track was originally the site of Bryar Motorsports Park before being purchased and redeveloped by Bob Bahre. The track is currently one of eight major NASCAR tracks owned and operated by Speedway Motorsports.

History

The track opened as New Hampshire International Speedway in June 1990, after nine months of construction following the Bahre family's purchase of the Bryar Motorsports Park. The existing road circuit was redeveloped into a multi-purpose track, with NASCAR-sanctioned races added to the popular Loudon Classic motorcycle, WKA go-kart and SCCA races on the complex. Upon completion it became the largest speedway in New England, and later expansion has made it the largest sports and entertainment venue of any type in the region. Its construction was extremely unusual for a race track, in that it was designed and constructed without consulting engineers, and using just one surveyor (whose primary job was to plant stakes) to help. NASCAR made its debut at the track in July 1990, with a Busch Series race won by Tommy Ellis. For three years, the Busch Series hosted a pair of races at the track each year.

The Busch races were successful. Loudon gained a spot on the NASCAR Cup Series schedule in 1993. Rusty Wallace won the inaugural Slick 50 300 in July of that year. That race was also Davey Allison's final race: the next day, Allison was fatally injured in a helicopter crash.

In 1996, Ernie Irvan captured the win in the Cup race, making it one of the more emotional victories in NASCAR history. The win came less than two years after Irvan suffered a near-fatal crash at Michigan International Speedway, where he was given less than a 10% chance of survival.

After the 1996 season Bahre and Bruton Smith bought North Wilkesboro Speedway and moved one of its Cup dates to New Hampshire. The second race was held in September. From 2004 to 2010, it was the site of the first event of the Chase for the Championship. In 2011, the date was shifted to the second race in the Chase, serving as one of three races in the Challenger Round, and remaining in the NASCAR Playoff rounds through 2017, after which the fall Cup date was eliminated.

The speedway was the first for NASCAR to start the field in two groups under the warm-up laps to help set pit speed.

The track also hosted open-wheel racing for seven years, hosting CART from 1992–1995, then the Indy Racing League from 1996–1998. One of the open wheel winners was Tony Stewart, who later won three NASCAR Cup Series races at the track as well.

In 2000, the track was the site of a pair of fatal collisions which took the lives of two promising young drivers. In May, while practicing for a Busch Series race, Adam Petty perished when his throttle stuck exiting the second turn, resulting in a full speed crash head-on in the middle of the third and fourth turns. When the NASCAR Cup Series made their first appearance of the season, a similar fate befell 1998 Rookie of the Year Kenny Irwin Jr. For safety reasons, track owners decided to run restrictor plates on the cars during their return trip to the speedway in September 2000. This resulted in an uneventful Dura Lube 300 won by Jeff Burton, which had no lead changes. It was the first wire-to-wire race since the 1970s.

The 2001 New Hampshire 300 was originally scheduled for September 16, the Sunday after the September 11 terrorist attacks. NASCAR initially announced that the race would be held as scheduled, but the event was postponed until November 23 of that year, which was the Friday after Thanksgiving. There was much concern about the weather, but race day turned out to be unseasonably mild. Robby Gordon won that race.

In 2002, in an effort to increase competitive racing, the track's corners were turned into a progressive banking system, as the apron was paved and became part of the track, and the track's banking was varied from 4 degrees in the lower two lanes to 12% grade (about seven degrees). The addition of SAFER barriers to the corner walls was made in 2003.

During the September 2003 SYLVANIA 300, an incident occurred at this track involving Dale Jarrett where his wrecked race car brought out a caution flag. At the time, NASCAR's policy was for its drivers to race back to the start-finish line to begin the caution period. This policy allowed drivers who were one or more laps down to pass the leader and get back one lap, but during the 2003 season there were several incidents which involved drivers racing back to the caution nearly causing collisions. Jarrett's car had stalled on the front stretch— in fact, directly in the path of oncoming cars— and he was in danger of being hit by cars that were trying to get laps back. Although Jarrett avoided contact, the incident was enough for NASCAR to act and beginning with the next race, NASCAR outlawed racing back to the caution flag and instead froze the field after a caution, and a "free pass" rule (popularly referred to as "the lucky dog") was put in place in which the first car behind the leader not on the lead lap would get their lap back during each caution period in all of NASCAR's national and regional series.

In mid-May 2006, Loudon was one of many New England communities which experienced damaging floods after a week of near-record rainfall. Several roads and bridges were washed out near the speedway. The infield was flooded, as was the track itself (while a road racing event was going on). The facility also experienced flooding in October 2005. In June 2009, the Lenox Industrial Tools 301 NASCAR Cup Series race was ended early by a storm which caused flooding at various locations around the track, including the infield tunnel: however in that case the post-race activities were not interrupted.

Before the 2008 racing season, Speedway Motorsports purchased NHIS and other racing-related assets from the Bahre family for $340 million cash.  The name of the speedway changed to New Hampshire Motor Speedway.  One of the assets included in the sale was a 50% interest in North Wilkesboro Speedway. The other 50% was still owned by Bruton Smith, the CEO of Speedway Motorsports.

NHMS representatives made a heavy push to reintroduce open-wheel racing in the form of IndyCar Series to the track in the 2009 season. In 2011, the series returned to the track. However, the race failed to meet attendance expectations and controversial decisions made by race officials at the end of the race caused the race to be left off the 2012 schedule.

After the 2012 Sylvania 300, Bruton Smith stated he wants to install permanent lighting at the speedway, just like the other SMI ovals. However, Bob Bahre signed a legal agreement with the town of Loudon and several neighbors when the track opened that nighttime races were prohibited. The agreement is binding on the current owners. In an October 2012 poll in Loudon, however, 58% of those who responded said they did not mind a night race. This poll also included plans to build a casino at the track, if approved by the New Hampshire Legislature.

In 2018, the fall race weekend, consisting of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and Camping World Truck Series, was moved to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was replaced with what they called Full Throttle Weekend. With NASCAR local and International series stopping by, races included the NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour with the Musket 250, NASCAR K&N Pro Series East with the Apple Barrel 125 and NASCAR Pinty's Series Visit New Hampshire 100.

For the 2019 Musket 250 it was announced that Whelen Engineering Company will sponsor the Musket 250 now being called Musket 250 presented by Whelen.

Track mascot
In 2009, the track introduced its first mascot, Milo the Moose. He wears a fire suit with the Speedway Motorsports logo and the track's name around it and is often seen wearing an open-faced helmet with a dark visor. He is seen on race weekends shaking hands with the drivers during driver introductions and hanging out with fans.

Track length of paved oval
The track length is disputed by the two major series that run at New Hampshire. The NASCAR timing and scoring use a length of . The IRL timing and scoring use a length of .

Dirt track
In 2018 New Hampshire Motor Speedway announced the construction of a quarter-mile dirt oval track behind the New England Motorsports Hall of Fame and the southern entrance to the Speedway. It was to be for the American Flat Track racing on Laconia Motorcycle Week 2019. It hosted the USAC Dirt Midget Granite State Legends Cars race on Friday of NASCAR weekend in July 2019, with NASCAR drivers Corey LaJoie and Daniel Hemric participating. In 2020 Snocross came to the track for an event in February.

Jordan denied entry to Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.
JNS.org – Jordan has reportedly rejected a request by Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal to visit the kingdom.
According to sources within Jordan, the countries authorities told Mashaal that he is currently "unwelcome" in the country.
"The decision to prevent Mashaal from visiting Jordan is now politically motivated," the sources said, the Jerusalem Post reported.
Mashaal was expelled from Jordan in 1999 and has resided abroad in a number of Arab states including Syria and Qatar. The Hamas leader was hoping to visit Jordan and congratulate senior Muslim Brotherhood official Zaki Bani Ershaid, who is scheduled to be released from jail in January.
The Muslim Brotherhood, which was declared a terrorist organization in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates, is the most organized and powerful opposition movement within Jordan and is viewed as a potential threat to King Abdullah.

In principle, amendments shall enter into force when the revised data protection declaration is published on the corresponding websites.
Please be aware of the fact that the establishment of new product ranges often results in updates to our Soehnle Connect app. Where your consent is required for use of the data, your consent will be sought the first time you restart once the update has taken place.
If you have installed the automatic background updates on your mobile phone, this can result in the latest version of the app being downloaded automatically and may also mean that you will no longer be able to use the Soehnle Connect app in future if you do not consent to the amended data protection declaration. We would therefore recommend that you turn off background updates so that you can check this first. The latest version of our data protection declaration can also always be found in your App Store.
If you use external links that are offered within the context of our Soehnle Connect products, our data protection declaration does not extend to the ranges offered there. Where we offer links, we try to ensure that these also comply with our data protection and security standards. However, we have no influence on other providers' compliance with the data protection and security regulations. It is therefore important that you find out from the other providers about their data protection regulations.

Conger's first game at Angel Stadium is a good one
SportsMLBLos Angeles Angels
By Dan Woike and Special To The Orange County Register | Orange County Register
July 11, 2010 at 5:14 p.m.
ANAHEIM — Angels' prospect Hank Conger made his Angel Stadium debut Sunday, catching for the U.S. Team in the All-Star Futures Game.
After flying out twice, Conger slugged a three-run home run over the right-field wall. As Conger crossed the plate with a huge smile, he pointed to his father Yun, who is sitting with Conger's agent Dan Evans in a suite behind home plate.

Undoubtedly one of the most popular composer-pianists in popular music is Frankie Carle. And here is Frankie Carle a-tapping on your door with a sheaf of his favorite melodies – and yours – under his arm. The genial pianist who gave popular music such enduring tunes as A Lover's Lullaby, Falling Leaves, Sunrise Serenade, the rocking Carle Boogie and the sparkling Sunrise Boogie is back with more of his distinctive arrangements and his celebrated golden touch. One of the most important reasons for Frankie's lasting popularity is his concern for melody and rhythm. In all of his arrangements, whether for solo piano or for his orchestra, he sees to it that the melody gets a chance to be heard, recognized and remembered. And he makes sure that it is played in a steady, identifiable rhythm. For in popular music it is really the melody that counts, and an arrangement that obscures this essential quality makes only a temporary impression, no matter how dynamic its construction. This concern with melody for his listeners and rhythm for his dancers has kept Frankie Carle at the top since his orchestra was first organized. Frankie's musical training began in Providence, Rhode Island, when he was five, under the instruction of his uncle. He studied carefully, and made such swift progress that by the time he was nine, his uncle permitted him to play in an orchestra three nights a week. When he was thirteen, Frankie wrote his first song and got his first case of stage fright. Touring with a concert orchestra, he grew more and more tense as curtain time for the first concert grew nearer, and at last he fled the theater, running straight to the nearest railroad station.
Two years later he went back to theatrical life, leading his own orchestra in a celebrated vaudeville act that toured for more than three years. Frankie then joined the famous Ed McEnelly band and later the Mal Hallet orchestra. He already had a large personal following when he joined Horace Heidt's orchestra in 1939, and his reputation grew as he unfolded melody after melody of his own composition, along with Carle Meets Mozart, one of the first of his engagement encounters with the masters. When the Heidt orchestra disbanded, Frankie organized his own group and led it straight to the top of the 1946 Billboard survey.
This Columbia Long Playing LP Microgroove Record is a modern high quality musical reproduction worthy of your special care: Always keep it away from heat and in this protective envelope. LP Microgroove Records can be played only on 33 1/3 RPM instruments, specially designed to play Columbia Long Playing Records.


These bra cups are molded foam with a small shelf to create a slight "push-up" effect. The foam cup is covered with a fused on tricot. They come in black or beige and can be used for bra making or to help create shape in a corset. Both the 34 and the 38 are rated as "B" cups. The 38 is slightly wider, deeper and longer than the 34.

Absolute difference
The absolute difference in rates of good or harmful outcomes between experimental groups (experimental group risk [EGR]) and control groups (control group risk [CGR]), calculated as the risk in the control group minus the risk in the experimental group (CGR – EGR). For instance, if the rate of adverse events is 20% in the control group and 10% in the treatment group, the absolute difference is 20% − 10% = 10%.
ACS NSQIP-P
See National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Pediatric (NSQIP-P).
American College of Surgeon Trauma Quality Improvement Program (ACS TQIP)
Implemented in 2010 to improve the quality of care for trauma patients. See also National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB).
The linear model used for covariate adjusting. It assumes, for all possible values of covariates, that covariate effect size (ES) is equal to typical ES; that is, that there is no interaction between the covariates and the treatment effect.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA)
Statistical method used to compare a continuous dependent variable and more than 1 nominal independent variable. Often used for analyzing longitudinal data. ANOVA does not have the flexibility of mixed models of analysis and can yield misleading results if its more rigid assumptions (eg, all effects are considered fixed) are not met.
Area under the ROC curve (AUROC)
Technique used to measure the performance of a test plotted on a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve or to measure drug clearance in pharmacokinetic studies. When measuring test performance, the larger the AUC, the better the test performance. A model with perfect sensitivity and specificity would have an AUROC of 1. See also Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
A statistical method that uses prior knowledge (eg, prior probability, conditional probability or likelihood) combined with data to obtain a new probability.
Bayesian hierarchical model (BHM)
A statistical procedure that integrates information across many levels, so multiple quantities are estimated simultaneously, and explicitly separates the observed variability into parts attributable to random differences and true differences.
Systematic deviation from the underlying truth because of a feature of the design or conduct of a research study (eg, overestimation of a treatment effect because of failure to randomize).
Bonferroni correction
A statistical adjustment to the threshold P value to adjust for multiple comparisons. The usual threshold for statistical significance (α) is 0.05. To perform a Bonferroni correction, one divides the critical P value by the number of comparisons being made. For example, if 10 hypotheses are being tested, the new critical P value would be α/10, usually 0.05/10 or 0.005. The Bonferroni correction represents a simple adjustment but is very conservative (ie, less likely than other methods to give a significant result).
C statistic
The C statistic is the probability that, given 2 individuals (one who experiences the outcome of interest and the other who does not or who experiences ...

Looks like the 30/70 QHP/Medicaid split that I've been assuming for Minnesota has shifted somewhat; as a result, I actually have to lower the QHP number by a bit compared with the 3-4 mini updates from last week. MN QHPs now stand at 33,362; new Medicaid/CHIP enrollees are at 85,267 as of March 11.
In addition, SHOP (Sm. Biz) enrollees are up a bit from 1,042 to (660 employees x1.8 per household) = 1,188 total individuals covered.

Angry Harvest (1986)
Fassbinder or NPR?
View image From "The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant" -- one of the best movies, and movie titles, ever. Say it five times.
Back when the New German Cinema was colonizing America, my friends and I liked to transform our favorite actor-names, especially those from Fassbinder movies, into exclamations. "Ulli Lommel!" we would exclaim. Or, "Gottfried John!" (with a W.C. Fields inflection). Or, "What the Harry Baer was that!?!" The moniker-musik of Fassbinder's cinematographers alone still fill me with joy: Michael Ballhaus, Dietrich Lohmann, Xaver Schwarzenberger, Jürgen Jürges...
My dream was to hear the complete cast and credits of "Berlin Alexanderplatz" read by a National Public Radio on-air personality. Sure, every name sounds great when pronounced on NPR -- and especially "Sylvia Poggioli" or "Corey Flintoff." (I love how the second syllable of "Flintoff" falls off, like it's going over a cliff. Say that last sentence out loud. It's fun.) But what if you put the two together? It could be like peanut butter and chocolate.
What follows is a list of very, very good names for your enjoyment. They are best when you speak them with impeccable diction. And don't forget the umlauts, where appropriate. While you're doing that, can you also figure out which ones are from NPR and which are from Fassbinder? After scrambling the two lists of my favorites I'm not sure I can anymore. I will, however, say this: Rüdiger Vogler. (He's a Wim Wenders actor, not a Fassbinder vet, but he's a damn fine one with a damn fine name and I wanted to get him in here somewhere.)
UPDATE: You want to hear how it's done? Our Man In Istanbul, Ali Arikan, reads some Fassbinderian names with poetic precision here.
Before the jump, here's a few to get you started -- but beware, there are three tricks!

How Safe Are We on the Water?
Water has drawn our species back ever since we left its embrace.
In Saharan cave drawings, ancestral swimmers frolic in weightlessness. On beaches and in pools, 21st century kids submerge with the same exhilaration.
Relics of boats dug out of logs or woven from reeds date back at least as far as those cave drawings, 7,000 and more years. On boats, we've extended our reach, surpassed our known horizons, sought and lost fortune, advanced our civilization. Imagine the stakes when all that was known was what we ourselves knew — and all that lay ahead was mystery.
The adventure has remained irresistible. But the other side of thrill is danger.
We are reminded of the danger at the 60th anniversary of the sinking of the Levin J. Marvel and taking 14 lives. The Bay excursion boat sank off my community, Fairhaven. Neighbors set out in small boats to save lives and, as we see in our neighborhood photo archive, recover bodies.
Tragedy of that sort never goes out of date. Natural Resources Police and Coast Guard report boating accidents, sinkings, fires and drownings almost every week of summer.
Swimmers, too, fall victim to the waters that drew them in. In the last weeks, three swimmers drowned in two incidents off Cove Point in Lusby, a friendly seeming beach where a standing lighthouse suggests dangers but not so close at hand.
All these lives are lost in somebody's neighborhood, in adventures gone awry.
As swimmers and boaters on our own, however, we are the person in charge, and by and large have only our own skills, experience and judgment to rely on.
Only if you're younger than 43 are you required to pass a structured safe boating course. Otherwise, the safe operation of your boat is up to you. The Coast Guard Auxiliary will inspect your pleasure boat to ensure it meets safety standards, but that inspection is purely voluntary. The Coast Guard may enforce safety by stopping you for a chance inspection, but that's a relative rarity. Basically, when you're on the water, you're free to do all the harm you can't avoid.
Swimming safety is slippier still. Except for the occasional on-shore sign, what tells you to refuse the invitation of the water?
Safety on the water is a last frontier of personal responsibility. Even so, we do not have ultimate responsibility. For as much as we love the water, it obeys only its own laws.

Q: Java SQL Connection Not Functioning When I make a connection to my MYSQL database (hosted on phpmyadmin on a domain with hosting, not localhost), I receive an error that I'm denied access to the server entirely. What is going on? I'm not extremely familiar on how to use this libraries methods and am confused.
Connection connection;
try
{
   connection =
  DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://WEBSITENAME.com/DATABASENAME0",
   "DATABASEUSERNAME", "DATABASEPASSWORD");
   Statement sql = connection.createStatement();
   ResultSet myRs = sql.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM table");

while(myRs.next())
{
  System.out.println(myRs.getString("column"));
}

} catch (SQLException e)
{
   e.printStackTrace();
}

The error provided is as follows:

java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'user'@'IP ADDRESS IS LISTED HERE' (using password: YES)
      at com.mysql.cj.jdbc.exceptions.SQLError.createSQLException(SQLError.java:129)

A: I have two ideas for this:

*

*Normally you MySQL denies connections from other hosts. You have to configure that in the configuration file (see here). If you can not access the configuration file you will have to ask your admin.

*Additionally you should check if the port 3306 (MySQL default port for TCP connections) is even opened. If the firewall blocks that port you will not be able to connect. In Windows you could check it with telnet (if enabled):
.
telnet WEBSITENAME.com 3306

No error message (blank cmd) means connection is established.

A: Maybe one of the problem is the Server, check that the user is allowed to connect from outside the localhost, or check if you user is allowed to connect like this: user@IPAddress

A: Common problem for hosted services, like hosted DBs/DBaaS nowadays.  Many hosting providers default to DENY ALL and expect that no DB connections are allowed inbound from anonymous Internet IPs, aka. anything outside (a) their platform or (b) outside their subnet(s).
If the other recommended tests don't work (like telnet), ask your DB provider if they maintain a whitelist and how they provide exception.  This is usually done via a self-service ticketing system for many hosting providers.
Or can you co-host your Java app on that same hosting provider?  like via a basic VM/instance on the same subnet as the DB instance?

Meet the New Class
Valerie Lowder
Describe yourself in three words.
Strong, sensitive, and compassionate
Why did you choose SAIC?
I was drawn to SAIC because of its open structure. I thrive in academic environments that allow for some freedom. I also want to stay in Chicago since I love the city and am not ready to leave it.
What are you passionate about?
I am passionate about representation, healing, dancing, investing in creativity, and my plants.
Where do you find inspiration?
I'm inspired by the human face and body and the way they speak a language that is universal yet intimate. I also find inspiration from my dreams, which are a window to my subconscious and my inner world. I'm inspired by the way I can make tangible things that express invisible things.
What do you hope to accomplish in your time at SAIC?
I hope to further develop my craft and explore new ways to tell stories through art making. I also hope to make new artist friends, explore the city, and have fun.
Ngọc Quyên Nguyễn
Adventurous, enthusiastic, and hungry (for success!)
I had a strong impression of SAIC after a meeting with a professor during the portfolio review day. After being accepted, I decided that the School of the Art Institute of Chicago would be my perfect destination.
Other than art, I am also interested in the psychology field. In the future, I hope I can learn the best of both fields and pursue a career that could bring out a real change.
I often find inspiration from the people and things around me. Even the most simple and ordinary detail can spark a great inspiration.
I hope I can have an amazing time here, meet new people, make great friends, and learn more about the world around me. I look forward to developing my abilities as an artist and overcoming my limits.
Hai-Wen Lin
MDes, Fashion, Body and Garment
Has nice hair
I was always drawn to SAIC's Fashion, Body and Garment program; even the fact that it wasn't just called "fashion design" said a lot to me. I make work that can be worn or is about the body, so fashion seemed to make sense, but I don't always make garments! SAIC stood out for having dedicated departments in fibers, performance, and fashion. In a somewhat ironic way, I've been telling people that I chose SAIC because it's the only fashion design program I could find where I could get away with not making clothing!
I'm genuinely passionate about art! But my definition of what I consider art is admittedly broad, and there's little that I don't consider art, so it's like I'm saying I'm passionate about everything. A lot of my work tries to take this expansive view to democratize art and empower people to view their own lived experiences as art.
Much of what I do is informed by my Taiwanese cultural heritage, the natural world, or just everyday life. Inspiration could be anything from the plants around me to, like, dumplings. And I guess I mean "everyday" both in a boring, ordinary sense, like brushing your teeth, but also in a colorful, queer sense of how people try to keep their lives interesting and celebratory! I'm really interested in the systems, rules, and cultural customs that people's lives are formed around and how people either cope with, accept, or subvert these things.
Recently, my work has been increasingly conceptually driven, but making work this way starts to feel like every single creative decision needs to be justified by some sort of historical, theoretical, or political thought. During my time at SAIC, I'm going to try to give myself more space to have a more intuitive making process and focus more on churning out a lot of work rather than a select few overthought pieces. I want to feel more confident about what I'm trying to say with my work, and I don't know that that's possible without making a lot of things!
Sarita Kvam
MA, Art Therapy and Counseling
Intuitive, playful, and driven
SAIC's culture, where intersectional identities are recognized, makes me believe I would thrive and be valued. I was drawn to the Art Therapy department because of its focus on cultivating the artist's identity in tandem with their identity as counselor, as well as the curriculum's ethical approach to healing.
Finding sustainable and creative approaches to support wellness in disenfranchised communities, specifically for women and fem-identifying immigrants and refugees.
In the emotional journeys of my loved ones, the exploration of my multicultural experience, the joys and challenges of our global community, my own growth, and in the movement of water.
I'm excited to better my understanding of self and others, collaborate with passionate and imaginative peers, and learn how to employ art to advance collective well-being. ■
