    Emmylou Harris Hard Bargain Debuts in Billboard 200s Top 20

    We made this record in about a month, which is quite

    unusual for me. But I had all the material beforehand. Id

    written 11 of the 13 songs and I really wanted to include two

    more by other writers, Harris explains. One of the covers

    is Ron Sexsmiths Hard Bargain which I absolutely love.

    The other is by Jay Joyce, called Cross Yourself.

    IN HIS OWN WORDS

    My life now? Well, its not the way it was ten years ago, I can

    tell you that. Once youve seen certain things they cant be

    unseen, or unremembered. I remember all of it. It sits in me. It

    sits in me every day I wake up. Hows my life today? Its

    different. I dont count on sleep. Im more cautious in many

    ways. Trauma changes you. Youre still you but fundamentally,

    almost molecularly, rearranged. Its like when you have

    children for the irst time (if youve ever had children). Theres

    just a whole new standard for whats important to you. 9/11

    did that to me.

    You ask me what Ive learned? Im not sure, really. But I know

    that on that day, I learned that for whatever measure of

    human cruelty exist in the world there is a hundred-fold

    measure of human decency ready to respond to it. What

    confuses me is how much of that human decency the count-

    less and unrecorded acts of kindness, aid and mercy that

    happened on that day were lost on so many in the years that

    followed. My hope is that we can remember that higher calling

    so many heard and acted upon when the ire came and let it be

    the call we answer every morning, ire or no ire.

    IN HER OWN WORDS...

    My son Christopher was one of the youngest ireighte

    the attacks on September 11. He became a hero that da

    his life to saving others; but to me, he was always spec

    he was my son. Initially, I was just profoundly sad all

    cried myself to sleep for months. But then I started to t

    Christopher and what he wouldve wanted from us. H

    and I felt that Christopher would be very angry with u

    shriveled up and died into ourselves. So we decided to

    hard to remember Christophers life.

    One of the irst things I did was to write two child

    about 9/11. I wanted to help children overcome their fe

    derstand what happened. So I wrote The Day the Tow

    teach them that this terrible event was an act of hatred, a

    all have to work very hard not to be consumed by hate. W

    Christopher, I wanted children to know that their paren

    very much, no matter what happens, just as I loved Chr

    There is a rainbow at the end of terrible events, but y

    actively look for the rainbow. You have to make the de

    ingful, and share the lost loved ones personality and g

    what Al and I have decided to do in our journey. The bo

    the causes we got involved with, the scholarship fu

    started in our sons name, our 9/11 advocacyall these

    steps along the path that weve walked together since C

    death. Its been tremendously helpful to us personally,

    to others as well.

    IN THEIR OWN WORDSIn one way its very easy to explain the effect that 9/11 had on us. Every-

    thing Dan and I had prior to that deadly day was taken from us, everything,

    that is, except our lives. Its as if everything we knew had vanished in the

    blink of an eye. Our home was no longer. Our careers would soon be over.

    And we lost so many friends and associates. The loss was so great, and

    affected us in so many ways, that its almost impossible to explain.

    We have since relocated to Northeast Pennsylvania and live in a lovely new

    home in Hemlock Farms. This place has helped us heal. It has been an ad-

    justment though. The biggest dificulty for me was not working. Dan is still

    able to do what he did when we lived in Manhattan at least on an admin-

    istrative level due to his injury. Hes still training volunteer ireighters and

    has developed ire safety courses for seniors. He also volunteers as the disas-

    ter services manager for the American Red Cross. Just as when he was a ire-

    man, hes still responding to dire situations and taking care of those in need.

    Jen & Dn Poer

    The events that changed the world,

    the tragic events of 9/11, hap-

    pened ten years ago. When they

    occurred, the World had a wakeup

    call. The rules had changed. No

    longer could you take for granted

    the simple, even comforting un-

    conscious routine of going to your

    ofice and doing your work.

    That day was a great equalizer.

    It didnt matter where you were

    from, what you did, or what plans

    you had for your life - if you were

    up there, it didnt matter.That day showed how ugly peo-

    ple can be to one another. It also

    displayed of how loving, caring

    and considerate people could be

    towards each other, as so many

    came together in the aftermath,

    helping one another, sharing water,

    supplies and oxygen in the midst of

    the toxic cloud. Either way, it was a choice people made.

    A decade later, as we look back, we are reminded of the lo

    day. Sometimes it feels as if much of the spirit, strength, vision,

    munity that was forged by that event has waned somew

    responders are dying years later from inhaling that toxic dust c

    the weeks and months immediately after the fall of those two

    cent towers. Yet, they have to ight for both life and death

    despite the fact that these were our heroes back then.As time has indeed passed and some of the emotional and t

    holds that 9/11 had on us have eased, we must dare to get pas

    and look forward to answer the personal question of wh

    Never to forget, but to move onward. As we accept the inevita

    we can never go back and as we let go just a little bit, new gr

    creativity will be able to emerge in that newly available spac

    ind that we are different not in spite of that event, but becau

    Additionally, how dare us not to? We must honor the los

    experienced by creating anew. Never to replace them, but to

    generating, building, experiencing, doing, and being. For t

    very cycle of life. By acknowledging and sharing the insigh

    experienced since that infamous point in time, my goal is to s

    of the focus away from the tremendous sadness and loss of

    offer people the hope of growth, wisdom, and new possibi

    have also occurred in its wake. With every change comes bot

    the opportunity for a new beginning. Always.

    Much has happened since September 11th. Much is still to c

    are all survivors, every one of us, every day. Together, let

    those we lost and embrace the strength and wisdom that exper

    created as we forge ahead into our livesnever to go back,

    resolute and wise as we move forward.

    Remember, every one of those who were lost would give any

    the chance to have our worst day.

    High School for Leadership and Pub-

    licServices was as unique as a high

    school experience can be and my

    junior year began like any other.

    Situated next to the American

    Stock exchange, students traveled

    from Chinatown, Harlem and all

    ive boroughs to attend the small

    public high school. From the 14th

    loor lunchroom, to the gym in

    the basement, the one-time ofice

    building was as unlikely a school

    building as could be.

    Still downtown Manhattan was

    our playground and on September

    10th, 2001 I walked through the

    mall beneath the World Trade

    Center. That night back in the

    Brooklyn apartment where I lived

    with my mother and three siblings

    I hadnt a clue it would become my

    last night as a normal sixteen year

    old girl.

    The following day was beautiful

    and bright. My mother, the principals secretary, and I commuted separately

    to the school. My irst class was in a windowless classroom on the 10th loor.

    I was in my seat by 8:25, just about the time American Airlines Flight 11 made

    a 100 degree turn towards New York City.

    The next few days were a blur as I tried to locate my ireighter father who

    as it turns out, was working in the wreckage. My mother says I watched

    footage of the attack over and over again. I dont remember much about the

    weeks following the attacks.

    School was cancelled, reconvening months later in another location. Our

    irst day back was illed with emotional electricity; students and faculty were

    crying, hugging, cheering we had become a ive hundred person family with

    an uncommon bond. Speaking of 9-11 however was dificult and I never fully

    shared my experience with anyone. Instead I shut down, insisting to myself

    that I was unfazed and just ine.

    Now almost ten years later, I ind myself reminded of the attacks con-

    stantly. Every time Im confronted with 9-11 in a movie, in artwork, or a book

    I break down. It took me ten years to realize Im not ine and the only way to

    heal is to confront my memories of that day. To relive what I saw, heard, felt,

    and tasted. Go back inside the choking ash cloud, completely grey and alone

    as the world crashes, literally, around you.

    I did go back, and remembered a lot that Id forgotten. Its funny the things

    that stay with you a Japanese tourist giving me his water on the bus thatinally took me out of lower Manhattan, or the sickly sweet burnt smell that

    permeated the air for months, yet I have no recollection of my reunion with

    my mother that evening. She remembers it, and it was amazing to hear about

    her ordeal that day. Talking about 9-11 brought my family closer together

    and my healing process has, inally, begun.

    I am a World Trade Center

    Survivor. I worked at 2 WTC on

    the 73rd loor and was still on

    the 44th loor with the plane hit

    the building. I have images for-

    ever etched in my mind which

    have not diminished through

    the years. There are times in

    which Ive been depressed, angry,

    overwhelmed with grief and

    grateful to be alive. Indeed Ive

    suffered from survivors guilt

    and I question where my family

    would be if I had not survived.

    had to be made. Was I going to continue to allow September 1

    to defeat me or would I make every attempt to ind myself ag
