Salinas, Luis Omar
Luis Omar Salinas 1937–
American poet and editor.
The following entry provides an overview of Salinas's career through 1988.
Salinas is generally regarded as a distinguished figure in contemporary Chicano poetry. Described by critics as highly creative and evocative, his verse frequently employs surrealistic images and metaphors, and discusses such traditional themes as alienation, loneliness, death, and honor. As noted Chicano poet Gary Soto has written, "Salinas possesses a powerful imagination, a sensitivity toward the world, and an intuitive feel for handling language."
Biographical Information
Born in Robstown, Texas, Salinas emigrated with his family to Mexico at the age of three, and shortly after their arrival Salinas's mother died of tuberculosis. Salinas's father returned to Robstown and, saddled with bills related to his wife's sickness and death, sent his children to live with relatives who soon adopted them. Separated from his father and his younger sister, Salinas and his new family eventually moved to California. An excellent student—he learned to read and write at an early age—Salinas was fluent in English and became avidly interested in the adventure stories of American novelist Jack London. In high school, he became a practicing Catholic and was active in athletics. Serving in the United States Marines Reserves and attending Bakersfield City College, Salinas eventually reunited with his father and settled in Los Angeles. Beginning in 1958, he attended California State College, studying history, drama, and literature, but working full-time and attending college part-time proved too much for him and he soon suffered a mental breakdown. Diagnosed as schizophrenic—it has since been determined that he is manic-depressive—he was hospitalized for eleven months, during which time he attempted suicide; Salinas has noted that it was around this time that he also began writing poetry. Continuing to receive medical supervision, he returned to his studies in 1963, enrolling first at East Los Angeles Community College and, the following year, at California State University, Los Angeles. Coping with mental illness and the demands of various odd jobs, Salinas was hardly a model student and frequently missed or dropped out of classes. Inspired by the work of the Spanish poet Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, however, he eventually took a creative writing class taught by Henri Coulette. Relocating to the agricultural Fresno Valley with his father, Salinas began classes at Fresno State where he suffered additional nervous breakdowns. Despite the pressures of a workshop atmosphere, Salinas took several writing class-es, working under the direction of such renowned American poets as Philip Levine and Peter Everwine. At Fresno, Salinas was also asked to teach in the Ethnic Studies Department. That same year he published Crazy Gypsy (1970), a collection of verse that largely explores the painful sense of alienation and loneliness resulting from the death of a mother. Although Crazy Gypsy was rushed into production—early editions are full of spelling and grammatical errors—the volume was a commercial and critical success. Nevertheless, Salinas waited ten years to publish his second volume of verse, Afternoon of the Unreal (1980). He has since released Prelude to Darkness (1981), Darkness under the Trees/Walking behind the Spanish (1982), and The Sadness of Days (1987). He was awarded the Stanley Kunitz Award from Columbia Magazine in 1980 and continues to write and publish extensively in journals and anthologies. He is also the coeditor of From the Barrio (1973), an anthology of Chicano writings. A new collection of work, tentatively titled Sometime Mysteriously, awaits publication.
Major Works
Alternately characterized as romantic, political, dark, and brooding, Salinas's poetry addresses the chaotic nature of human existence or, as he puts it, "the strange fullness of the unreal." Replete with unusual and fascinating imagery similar to the surrealist poetry of Federico García Lorca, Míguel Hernández, César Vallejo, and Pablo Neruda, Salinas's verse—which is often marked by ambiguity and disjointed sentence structure—is considered both highly emotive and striking. For example, in "Sunday … Dig the Empty Sounds" from Crazy Gypsy, a frantic youngster searches for his mother amidst an array of such frightening symbols as "the blood of children and the clouds with mouths." Much of Salinas's poetry is distinguished by this focus on alienation and abandonment—feelings he associated with the death of his mother and his separation from his sister and father. For instance, in "Poem for Olivia," a piece dedicated to his mother that appears in Afternoon of the Unreal, he writes: "I didn't come to this world / to be frightened / yet your death sticks / in my stomach / and I must clean the kitchen / with my hands / and I wander on / into the night of leavened bread / and pursue truth / like a tube needing air." Salinas also explores the pain of unrequited love in such collections as Prelude to Darkness and Darkness under the Trees/Walking behind the Spanish. The latter, which is comprised of two separate collections, contains new and old work. In the first part of the volume, his focus is largely autobiographical and emphasizes such themes as love, insanity, and loneliness. The second portion of the book is more political in nature, honoring, in part, poets and anti-Fascist revolutionaries who were active in the Spanish Civil War. Politics is likewise central to several of the pieces in Crazy Gypsy—which includes protest chants Salinas wrote while at Fresno State and poems about Vietnam and the Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara—and to The Sadness of Days, which is also known for its focus on philosophical issues. In one poem from The Sadness of Days, he offers an analysis of the work of photographer Ansel Adams: "Grandeur is always the subject: shards / of sunlight splitting clouds; rubble of lost / boulders under a heaven of cliff face and cumuli; / a tiny cemetery—crosses like picket fences—/ near the ghostly town under the mountains / flooding with white, the moon above / like some Platonic ideal."
Critical Reception
Although Salinas's work has been well-received, it has engendered minimal critical commentary. Following the publication of Crazy Gypsy, reviewers initially focused on the social message of Salinas's poetry, largely ignoring its surrealist dimensions and influences. As Eliezar Risco Lozada and Guillermo Martinez wrote in the introduction to Crazy Gypsy: "There is a degree of surrealism in Omar's highly personalized juxtaposition of images. But we can't allow that superficial surrealism to distract us from the deeper reality of the poems." In recent years, however, scholars have asserted that the form and content of Salinas's work are inseparable, arguing that the poetry's distinctive features—economy of expression, syntactical ambiguity, and ingenious placement of symbols—have a specific thematic function. While some have faulted his verse as ungrammatical and poorly crafted, most have agreed that Salinas succeeds in creating a poetry that simultaneously defines and preserves the Chicano experience within an Anglo-American culture. Salinas, for his part, has stated that although his poetry contains abstract elements, his work remains grounded in the reality of the human condition, his family history, and his Chicano ancestry.

[In the review below, Wright examines the evocative power of The Sadness of Days.]
The poems in The Sadness of Days are not for the faint of heart. Full of anger, blood, spittle, and venom, these poems speak of the clashes of the world: between young and old, between rich and poor, between educated and uneducated, between living and dead. Luis Omar Salinas's poetic voice expresses itself in the language of darkness. Consider these poems as examples: "Prelude to Darkness," "As Evening Lays Dying," "Darkness Under the Trees,"...

[In the following, Soto offers a generally favorable assessment of The Sadness of Days.]
The Chicano protest poets of the sixties and early seventies have put down their pens and have gone into real estate or, if they haven't gone off to make a living, to raise a family, to do the best they can, then they have continued to write just as loudly but with fewer willing listeners. In their place, a number of literate poets have surfaced who speak more quietly, but just as urgently, and with a greater expanse of ideas—poets like Alberto Rios, Lorna Dee Cervantes,...

Krawczak: Ideas for a hustling, bustling small town
I recently spent four days in Oklahoma City for a conference. Oklahoma City was never very high on my list of places I'd like to visit. After visiting for the conference, I am very thankful that I had the opportunity to see Oklahoma City. Otherwise I would not have known what a great city it is! I'm not a fan of ridiculously hot, humid weather, but I am now a fan of so many other things about that big, yet little, city.
During our conference (from which I returned with many great ideas for our Chamber), we had several opportunities to explore and learn more about the history and development of the city.
If you look back into history, you will learn that in the 1960's, Oklahoma City experienced a great decline. The oil boom was dwindling, and despite several attempts to reverse the trend, nothing was very successful in taking its place. The downtown area was largely abandoned, crime was on the rise, and property values were decreasing. New projects (private or public) were definitely few and far between. In the early 1990's, the mayor proposed a new idea he called the Metropolitan Area Projects, or MAPS for short. The proposal was rather simple. Implement a very small local sales tax (one cent) for a predetermined amount of time (66 months) with the revenue to be spent on nine specific projects that were stated up front (including a canal system through Bricktown, construction of a minor league baseball stadium, and more).
What do you think happened with his proposal?
It worked. Today, Oklahoma City is bustling with activity. There are people everywhere, there is constant construction of new projects by private developers, and businesses are frequently opening or expanding. Additionally, the pride of the community for their town (and especially for the NBA Team, The Thunder) is amazingly present and obvious. To give you an example of how things have changed, a friend from another Michigan Chamber and I wanted to go to a specific restaurant that a local person had recommended to us. We waited an hour for a table. When we left the restaurant a little after 9 p.m., people were still waiting. The coolest part? It was a Wednesday night. Can you image having so much going on that our stores and restaurants were still booked at 9 p.m. on a weeknight?
After talking to several locals (one of my favorites was the canal boat ride tour guide who actually owns property near Alpena), I learned that passing the increase in the sales tax wasn't easy. There was controversy. It was hard work. But the community got it done. Where would Oklahoma City be today if they hadn't been proactive in their approach? I'm sure the locals appreciate having a bustling economy, the jobs that have been created, and the sense of community that has developed.
This exact project might not work in our community. But if we want economic development to happen, there will be tough decisions that need to be made and supported. The people of Oklahoma City were very proactive in their support of this effort. There is no doubt that they had concerns and reservations but they knew they had to do something because status quo was obviously not working. When (not if, but when) your community proposes an innovative idea so completely packed full of change, are you prepared to support it? The people of Oklahoma City made the right decision in supporting an increase in sales tax to make sure that the future of their community was a positive one. I'm sure it was outside of many of their comfort zones. What are you prepared to support to make sure the future of your town is one of success? How far out of your comfort zone are you willing to stretch? What unknowns and concerns are you willing to hand over to faith in the community? I hope you are willing to stretch well beyond the limits of your comfort zone because it is necessary for successful economic development.
The people of Oklahoma City provide us with a great example of what can happen when the community has faith, trust, and desire for a better future. Are you brave enough to stand proud and support bold new ideas, as challenging as they may be, if it means a better future for your community?
Jackie Krawczak is the executive director of the Alpena Area Chamber of Commerce.

Editor for this issue: T. Daniel Seely <dseelyemunix.emich.edu>
I would like to offer my thanks to all those who answered my question about child-game terminology in various languages. The responses were too numerous to allow citation here or personal thank- you replies, but for you who answered, you know who you are, and I thank you very sincerely. (Another reason why I am reluctant to relinquish my sources is that in a fit of idiocy I accidentally deleted about four or five of them from my e-mail box! So, if you sent in a response which is not covered here or even mentioned, that's why. Please feel free to write the list and cite it as an addendum to this summary.) I did get quite a few responses, but most of the languages of the world were, unfortunately, not covered. So this summary is not as broad-based as I would have liked to make it, but what the data lacks in breadth it makes up for in depth of information. The best- attested languages I have data for are Germanic ones from northern Europe, including English, of course. There is a light sprinkling of others, too, including such diverse languages as Turkish and Hebrew. The format is as follows. For those who want the quick and dirty, the first section of this summary is just an alphabetical list of languages and terminology from those languages. Following that will be a section which includes more peripheral information relating to the phonological, morphological, syntactic, and semantic structure of the terms (where this information is available). Enjoy! _Language_ _Game_ _Role__ Afrikaans touch ? Chinese ? guei Danish tik, tagfat, du-er-den den der er den Dutch tikkertje, diefje-met-verlos, verstoppertje hem, het English tag, tick, tickerit, hide'n'- seek, kick-the-can, blind-man's bluff, fox-and-geese it, he, on, on it, hit, (have) the mang, the mannie French (jouer) chat, (jouer a) la pie le chat, la pie German fangen, einkriegen es, bist/ist/etc. Hebrew maxbo'im ha-omed, ha-tofes Japanese onigokko oni Norwegian sisten, tikken, sura, doktor- sisten (har)'n Portuguese ? pegador Spanish ? la mancha, gallito ciego Swedish burken (aer/har) burken, aer, han Thamizh (Tamil) kaNNAmUchchi, iceboy(s) ? Turkish ? ebe Well, that's the lot. The more detailed information is as follows: Afrikaans The word 'touch' seems to be a loan from English. To signal that the turn has passed, the old person says to the new person: _jy het die touch_ 'you have the touch'. Chinese I don't know the tonal behaviour of _guei_, but the word itself means 'demon/devil/etc', and may possibly have come into use through Japanese influence in Taiwan. (This word is reported from Taiwan only.) The character used is the same one used in Japanese to write _oni_. Danish Although one says _du er den_ 'you are it' to change turns, _den_ '(common gender) it/that (one)/etc' by itself cannot be used as a subject if referring to the game-role. Instead, _den der er den_ 'the one that is it' or something similar is used. Dutch I got some mixed responses here. At least one person claimed that _het_ 'it' was acceptable, but others seemed to feel that only _hem_ 'him' was appropriate in this context. One respondent suggested that there was a slight semantic differentiation between the two in this context, with _hem_ being used to assign role-status, eg. _hij was hem_ 'he was "him" (ie. "it")', vs. _het_ which is used to check who was doing the tagging, eg. _was zij het?_ 'was she the one?'. At any rate, all respondents agreed that _hem_ was the normal term to refer to the game-role, regardless of the gender of the referent. It apparently cannot be used free-standingly, as English 'it' can, and is generally unstressed and pronounced as [m] (where =schwa). The phrase _je bent'm!_ 'you are "him"!' is used when tagging. _Diefje-met-verlos_ means 'prisoners'-base' and is a variant of the game where a free-area of sorts is introduced where players may go to escape tagging temporarily. _Verstoppertje_ corresponds to English 'hide-n-seek'. English I hadn't expected to get so much information on English, but there really is a wealth of variation reported. For instance, there are many places (some places in England and Australia, at least) where the person is called 'he' rather than 'it'. In these places, 'he' is used for both male and female players. In North-east Scotland, a variant 'hit' was reported (relic of older pronunciation of 'it'), although the usual term in this area was apparently 'the mannie' (='the man') when referring to the game-role. Another interesting variant was reported from North Staffs, England: 'tickerit' (or shortened 'tick') as the game-name, and the chaser said 'tick!' when tagging; this was analyzed by at least one person from this area as 'tick or hit' (later as 'tick or it'). 'Tick' was also reported from Dudley, England. In Dudley, however, the person chasing was said to be 'on' rather than 'it', and other places in England as well report 'on' (Newcastle-upon-Tyne) or even 'on it'. There was apparently another related game in Dudley where the person chasing was said to have 'the mang' (pronounced [mejng], where "ng"=velar nasal stop). There is of course also a great variety of other related games, including hide-n-seek (the seeker must find hidden players), blind- man's-bluff (the chaser is blindfolded), fox-and-geese (involves following trails in the chase process) and kick- the-can (involves--or used to involve--the goal of kicking a centrally-located can to gain amnesty). All of these games may also have safe locations ("[home]base") or counting or whatnot. The most common way to signal a turn-change in the US seems to be by calling out 'You're it!', or 'Tag! You're it!'. A few people offered speculations as to what 'it' might refer to. One person suggested that it was a frozen form from Middle English, and another that it was originally exophoric in referring to something on the order of a goblin or monster. French The most responses I got were from France, where _le chat_ 'the cat' seems to be the rule. In New Brunswick, however, the form _la pie_ 'the magpie' is apparently a metaphorical extension of a clipping of _la pie voleuse_ 'the stealing magpie'. In New Brunswick, a variation was reported where there existed a safe spot where one could rest for just as long as it took to say _un, deux, trois, pie rouge!_ 'one, two, three, red magpie!'. German In both Germany and Austria, _fangen_ 'to catch/chase' is the game-name, and the role is _es_ 'it', just as in English, with one important difference: _es_ cannot carry lexical stress, and is frequently reduced where possible, eg. _ich bin's_ 'I'm "it"' vs. _du bist es_ 'you're "it"'. From Berlin, though, the variant _einkriengen_ 'to catch (colloq.)' was reported, and the assignment of role-status was achieved solely by use of the copula, eg. _er ist_ 'he is' or _du bist_ 'you are', etc. This could be strongly stressed if answering a question about whose turn it was. The Berlin informant also suggested that these reduced clauses could be clipped versions of _du bist dran_ or _du bist abgeschlagen_. There was also a variation on the game called _Franzoesisch Einkriegen_ 'French tag', where the tagger got to kiss the tagee. (I seem to recall something on that order here in the US, too, also called, appropriately enough, "French tag".) As a little side-note, a German second-language learner reported that their high school German class would initiate the game in class after greeting each other with _Guten Tag_ or _Tag_, apparently drawing on the spelling similarity, and despite the large difference in pronunciation (in German, _tag_ is pronounced [tak], vs. English [taeg], where "ae" is a low front vowel.) Hebrew Don't know much here. The game is apparently called _maxbo'im_ 'hiding places', and the chaser must stand, close eyes, count, etc. He or she is referred to as _ha-omed_ 'the stander'. Another variant, perhaps more like my "tag", is where the game-role is called _ha- tofes_ 'the catcher'. Japanese I already kind of talked about this one, but in case some didn't notice the original post, the game-role is referred to as _oni_ 'demon/devil/imp/goblin/etc', and the game is called _onigokko_, which means 'demon game'. When tagging someone, one cries out with _oni!_ or _oni da!_ '(you) are oni!', or some version therof. Norwegian There is some dialectal variation in the game-names, including _sisten_ (which all respondents analyzed as 'the last one'), _tikken_, and _sura_ (the latter two don't seem to have a very active meaning outside the game context). _Sisten_ seems by far to be the most common. On the turn-change, one says something like _du har'n!_ 'you have it!'. The _har'n_ is a contraction of _har den_ 'have it'. Some places say _sisten!_ or even _siss!_ here, but the game-role is still the person who _har sisten_ 'has "sisten"', and not *_er sisten_ 'is "sisten"'. Another possible name for the game role is _han_ '(masc. inanimate, not neuter) it'. Varieties of the game include a spreading-virus version, where the whatever is passed along until everyone _har'n_; another is called _doktor-sisten_ 'doctor-"sisten"', where the one who is touched has to hold their hand over the spot and chase in that manner until touching someone else. Portuguese All I know is that the game-role is called _pegador_, which means 'hitter' in Spanish, but which my informant glossed as 'catcher'. Spanish I have only information for Argentina, but there the role (and game??) is called _la mancha_ 'the spot/stain'. Another variety, similar to English blind-man's-bluff, is called _gallito ciego_ 'blind rooster' (pronounced [gaz^ito sjego], where "z^" is a voiced alveolar fricative.) Swedish The only game-name I recieved was _burken_ 'the can', and in this game the role is also referred to as either _har burken_ 'have the can' or _aer burken_ 'is the can' (the description I received of this game seemed very similar to English kick-the-can). Other varieties of game-role terms are _X aer_ 'X is' or _han (<har den)_ 'has it'. Thamizh In this language (spoken in southern India), the game is (Tamil) called either _kaNNAmUchchi_ or (English, I presume?) 'iceboy(s)'. The etymology is apparently uncertain, but the word may be related to _kaNNu~_ 'eye', _pUchchi_ 'insect', _kaNNa mUDu~_ 'close (your) eyes', or none of the above. (The pronunciation is as follows: a capital letter indicates either a retroflex consonant or a long vowel; double letters indicate geminates, I assume; and the symbol "u~" is taken to indicate a high central lax vowel. I have no idea whether orthographic "h" indicates aspiration or affrication. Turkish All I know is that _ebe_ means 'midwife', of all things! Well, I hope everyone enjoyed reading this long and tiresome account; I certainly enjoyed getting the data, and am now much better educated on the topic than before. Linguistic universals were not to be found anywhere, even with this limited sample, but I think the above account testifies strongly to a common humanity, which is even better. :-) Thanks again to all who contributed.

Event Type: Error Event Source: CiscoUnity_UMR Event Category: UMR Thread Error Event ID: 137 Description: Attempts to deliver Unity Message Repository messages have failed due to Unity configuration or connectivity issues with the Partner Mail Server. AvUMRSyncSvr will suspend message delivery for 300 s
At this point, Cisco Unity is not able to deliver messages because a mail file for the default user Unity Messaging was not created during Message Store Configuration Wizard (MSCW), which is one of the wizards launched from the Cisco Unity Installation and Configuration Assistant (CUICA). In fact, MSCW failed to create mail files for all three default users viz., Example Administrator, Unity Messaging, and UnityBroadcast [UnityServerName]. If you look in the Domino Administrator, you see these users listed in the Domino Directory, but when you open their Person documents, the Mail Server and Mail File fields are empty, and their mail files are not on the Domino server. The default users must have mail files in order for Cisco Unity to function properly.
This problem has been observed on these configurations:
Cisco Unity 5.0(1) partnered with a Domino 8.0.1 server running on Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10
Cisco Unity 7.0(2) partnered with a Domino 8.5 server running Windows, and there are no earlier versions of Domino in the Domino domain
However, the problem could exist in other versions of Cisco Unity, Domino, and Domino Unified Communications (DUC).
In Cisco Unity 7.0(2) and later, if there are any errors during the creation of the default users, MSCW is supposed to display an error message and fail. CUICA will not allow you to continue with the setup until MSCW runs successfully. However, MSCW may not detect all error conditions that cause the creation of the mail files for the default accounts to fail, and MSCW 7.0(2) may complete without displaying an error message.
The issue is documented by Cisco Bug ID CSCsr92707 (registered customers only) . Refer to this Bug for a possible workaround and fix.
Before you proceed to the steps in order to resolve the issue, verify this information:
Ensure that the Notes client was successfully installed and configured on the Cisco Unity server
Verify that the Domino server have the UnityServers group listed
If the Notes client was successfully installed and configured on the Cisco Unity server prior to launching CUICA, there are several known reasons why MSCW can fail to create mail files for the default users:
The UnityServers group does not have permission to create databases and templates in Domino. This issue is documented by Cisco Bug ID CSCsj57016 (registered customers only) .
The mail file template that MSCW uses to create the mail files for the default users does not exist on the Domino server with which Cisco Unity is partnered. This can happen in a Domino 8.5 configuration where the only mail template on the partner server is mail85.ntf.
The network connection with Domino is very slow, and MSCW hits a timeout period while attempting to create the default users.
After you verify the previous steps, complete these steps in order to resolve the issue:
Delete these accounts from Domino:
Example Administrator
Unity Messaging
UnityBroadcast [UnityServerName]
The mail file template that Message Store Configuration Wizard (MSCW) uses to create the mail files for the default users does not exist on the Domino server with which Cisco Unity is partnered. So, you need to add a mail file template Registry Key to the Cisco Unity Server.
Complete these steps in order to create a mail file template.
On the Cisco Unity server, choose Start > Run and type regedit.
Expand this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Active Voice > Directory Connectors > DirSynchDomino > 1.00 .
Add a new String value called MailFileTmplt.
Double-click MailFileTmplt. In the value data field, enter the name of a mail template that is available on the Domino partner server.
For Domino 8.5 configuration, the only mail template on the partner server is mail85.ntf, so enter that value.
Click OK, and close regedit.
Now run the Message Store Configuration Wizard (MSCW) again.
Navigate to the subscriber table in UnityDb, and find the subscriber type for the EAdmin user.
Verifiy that EAdmin had SubscriberType = 3.
Note: By default, the SubscriberType would be set for an ID of 1 for Exchange users, and should be 3 for Domino. If SubscriberType = 1, change the ID to 3 in the subscribers table.
Note: After these steps, you are able to log into Unity SA page and able to open the subscribers section without any issues.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Focus on the Positive
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Why dwell on the negatives in the market when there are so many reasons to love stocks? Jim Cramer asked on "Mad Money" Monday.
Even billionaire Warren Buffett confirmed in an interview today that stocks are the best investments out there while government bonds remain the worst, Cramer said..
He added that what smart investors like Buffett see in stocks is the incredible value being created by companies taking control of their own destinies. That was certainly the case for Hess (HES) , which announced Monday it is spinning off its refining business and going "all in" on its Bakken shale assets. Cramer noted that activist investors at Hess want even more and calling for the company to sell itself entirely, making it a win-win situation for investors.
Other activist investors have been shaking value out of companies such as Transocean (RIG) while multiple hedge funds continue to battle it out over Herbalife (HLF) .
Meanwhile, companies such as Yahoo! (YHOO) are hitting 52-week highs while CEOs like Marissa Mayer are taking action and turning things around in record time. There's also plenty of merger activity bringing out value, said Cramer, and while today's acquisition of Ferro (FOE) may be a small deal, it's still one in a now-steady stream of deals rewarding shareholders almost daily.
Cramer said the only bear market seems to be in Apple (AAPL) , a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS. He said Apple should use the weakness in its stock and buy back $1 billion worth of shares every week if it really wants to show the world how undervalued those shares really are.
For all these reasons, Cramer said he just can't focus on sideshows like Italy or the government sequester. There are just too many positive things happening to ignore.
Top of the Chart
Investors who still believe in the promise of natural gas for vehicles, whether they be cars or locomotives, need to keep investing in Chart Industries (GTLS) , Cramer told viewers.
While other natural gas stocks have been stumbling, like natural gas engine maker Westport Innovations (WPRT) , down 35% as its 12-liter engines have been delayed, or Clean Energy Fuels (CLNE) , down 32%, Cramer said Chart Industries continues to thrive.
Chart provides the equipment needed to cool natural gas into a liquid form that can be stored or exported, which means its equipment is needed for a host of applications. Cramer said 25% of the company's sales comes from the equipment needed for export, while another 15% comes from equipment used in the initial processing and separation of natural gas as it is first pumped out of the ground.

Allardyce fears Morrison raid
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has revealed he fears Manchester United might try and bring Ravel Morrison back to Old Trafford.
- Related Content
Highly-rated attacker Morrison joined West Ham in January 2012 after failing to establish himself in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans at United.
The 20-year-old is now starting to fulfil his potential at Upton Park and was rewarded for his fine form this season with a call-up to the England Under-21 squad.
Allardyce admits he is unsure if United have a buy-back option in the deal when they sold Morrison and concedes the Hammers would struggle to resist any big-money offers for the skilful midfielder.
"I don't know if there is a buy-back clause and what that figure might be if it even exists," Allardyce is quoted as saying in the Sunday People
"But my real big worry is that Manchester United will come back to buy him.
"Look at what happened when Chris Smalling played a handful of games for Fulham - United jumped in with £10million.
"Then there was Phil Jones when I was at Blackburn - that's what you are up against."

In infants born extremely preterm, aspirin or NSAID use during pregnancy are associated with increased risk of quadriparetic cerebral palsy
- Newborn Services, Mater Mothers' Hospital, South Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
- Correspondence to: Dr Peter H Gray
Newborn Services, Mater Mothers' Hospital, Raymond Tce, South Brisbane, Queensland 4101, Australia; peter.gray{at}mater.org.au
Commentary on: Tyler CP, Paneth N, Allred EN, et al. ELGAN Study Investigators. Brain damage in preterm newborns and maternal medication: the ELGAN study. Am J Obstet Gynecol 2012;207:192.e1–9.
Implications for practice and research
Maternal aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase the risk of cerebral palsy in extremely preterm infants.
It would seem, however, that aspirin given to women at high-risk for pre-eclampsia may be beneficial.
Exposure to NSAIDs should be considered with caution until further information is available.
The issue of taking medications during pregnancy and the risks involved has been the topic of many reviews. Aspirin is a NSAID that is prescribed to prevent recurrent abortion and to reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia. From animal studies it has been suggested that NSAIDs when taken during pregnancy have the potential to result in perinatal brain injury.1

Also, it is a great opportunity to keep money in the community.
Furlong says "we can resale the clothes, put the money back into the community, and the items we cannot use, we will be salvaging. So that will still be putting more money into the community."
Bobby Kuntzendorf and his team mates on the NIU baseball team are stepping up to the plate to help those in need. He hopes the team's giving spirit will rub off on his fellow Huskies.

The Office of the Historian recently launched an Oral History Program that will document the history of U.S. foreign relations and bring a historical perspective to current policy making. The goal of the program is to tape a series of interviews with U.S. diplomats and State Department officials to capture firsthand accounts of U.S. diplomacy in action. These recordings will provide a unique complement to textual records that document the history of the State Department and U.S. foreign relations. In the above video, Ambassador Edward Brynn speaks about the Foreign Relations of the United States (FRUS) series -- the official documentary historical record of major U.S. foreign policy decisions. The series began in 1861 and now comprises more than 400 individual volumes.
Similar to FRUS, the Oral History Program represents an effort to inform the public about governmental decision-making. The Oral History Program includes a project on the Special Envoys and Representatives at the Department of State. The United States has used Special Envoys to negotiate bilateral agreements, mediate international disputes, demonstrate U.S. commitment to specific issues, and pursue public diplomacy goals. Presidents and Secretaries of State have valued Special Envoys for their flexibility, ability to overcome bureaucratic impediments, and for the unique talents and perspectives they can bring to foreign policy challenges. These interviews encourage the Special Envoys to talk about how their personal background prepared them for their public service. It will also provide the interviewees a forum in which to share valuable experience gained, explore lessons learned, and evaluate the successes and challenges they have faced.
The Office of the Historian is also planning to invite Chiefs of Mission who served in Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs (NEA) posts during the "Arab Awakening" to participate in oral history interviews. These interviews will provide unparalleled insights into events as they occurred on the ground, from the vantage point of the senior U.S. officials tasked with shaping U.S. policy in the Middle East. The oral histories collected in this project will constitute a rich and valuable source of first-hand reporting on the "Arab Awakening" for future incoming NEA ambassadors and other senior officials. They will also enable future historians to compare U.S. policies across countries in the region.
Finally, the Office of the Historian has also collaborated with the Center for Army Lessons Learned and the Office of Provincial Affairs of Embassy Baghdad to capture the experiences of State Department officers working on the frontlines of expeditionary diplomacy at Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs) in Iraq.
The interviews and transcripts from each of these projects will become permanent records of the Department and will be retired at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). In accordance with NARA's record retirement schedule, the digital recordings and transcripts will be made accessible to future researchers and the public.

Hi Tiffany,
This is very cool, and Dipnote is an ideal platform for contextual relevence of lessons learned, for today's world.
Do you think we'll be having the; "This week in Diplomatic history" ( like some newspapers do an "on this day" 50 to a 100 years ago), as the head historian's own choice selection of notable events on a regular basis here on Dipnote?
Get schools to tap into it online as part of world history classes?...I guess what I'm thinking is that humans must be promted to remember their history accurately, as perceptions change over time and generations.
It's one thing to say "Here we have this great archive of diplomatic (and by inference, a huge chunk of modern civilization's evolution) history...please come visit the site."
And another to get folks talking about it as an evolutionary process...
Maybe that's what "show and tell" is all about.
I get this feeling that some folks feel the truth will upset the apple cart, when in reality the truth rarely comes out till long after the apples are eaten and the cart is no longer functional, the horse gone to pasture and the owner perpetually, comfortably numb with a bottle of rum.
Metaphoricly speaking...., to the point it no longer matters what happened when, as the crisis du jour has folks drowning in media frenzy..., or drink. (I think one begets the other...Chuckle)
So my advice is get proactive about telling our story to folks, the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, lest you blind future historians to it.
Therin lies the meat of the issue.

Put on a pair of 3-D glasses and treat yourself to the sensuous Life of Pi, a film that offers viewers a succession of unforgettable screen images, beginning with a parade of exotic animals seemingly filmed in Eden. Other scenes depict terrifying thunderstorms at sea; starlit night skies of cosmic grandeur; glowing, undulating creatures, inhabitants of a mysterious underwater world; a whale leaping in an exuberant arc out of the ocean depths; and sunlight bouncing off the mirrored surface of an ocean becalmed.
Ang Lee has taken Yann Martel's acclaimed philosophical/psychological novel about a zookeeper's son who survives a shipwreck alone on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, and has animated it through ingenious effects, including a digitally enhanced tiger. But Lee (director of "Brokeback Mountain") has done much more than assemble astonishing images. Namely, he has carefully preserved the underlying tensions and thought-lines that make this story provocative, relevant and even important in our day.
For despite its trappings as an adventure story or a coming-of-age journey, Yann Martel's 2001 novel, which won Britain's Man Booker Prize for fiction, lays out the religious side of the ongoing argument between science and religion, atheism versus belief. Rather than arguing his points, however, head-to-head in a classroom or through dialogue, as in the film "My Dinner With Andre," Martel creates an appealing character who embodies faith, a young Hindu-Catholic with an interest in Islam and Judaism, too.
Piscine Molitor Patel is a modern Job figure. Don't be thrown off by his name—from a swimming pool in Paris—one of many bits of humor in this serious, powerful story. You have to be introduced to faith, Piscine says, ever wiser than his years.
Lee's film introduces us to faith through a screen hero so atypical as to be a kind of anti-hero. Pi, a self-made nickname pronounced like the mathematical constant 3.1416, shows how a believer responds to life, including its immense suffering. Though he loses his beloved parents and brother in the shipwreck, endures months without human companionship, undergoes injury, starvation and thirst, he survives without losing his faith. Indeed, Pi's habit of gratitude to God—for his own life and for that of this marvelous universe—never wavers.
Suraj Sharma, in the title role, gives the teenage Pi a natural winsomeness, both innocent and knowing, that sustains our attention. Unlike a typical adventure hero, this 16-year-old does not fight the tiger and emerge the victor. Instead, he is a vegetarian animal lover, a studious reader and to his marrow a man of peace who says he is sorry when he kills his first fish. When the young Pi tells his father he believes animals have souls, his father urges him to rely on reason. On the lifeboat Pi heeds his father's advice, using reason to train the tiger and subdue it, so that the two of them can survive. But survival is not his only concern. Pi fishes relentlessly in order to feed the tiger, when he might have killed it or at least let it drown and saved himself the effort. Once, when the tiger (whose name, for another laugh, is Richard Parker) plunges into the ocean and cannot get back into the boat, Pi thinks it over and makes him a ladder. Finally, in one pietà-like image, when Pi thinks they are both dying, he places the tiger's head on his lap and strokes it. Few superheroes would claim, as Pi does, that Richard Parker actually saved his life.
We are helped to suspend our disbelief by the opening scenes. Pi is not just any boy, but a Hindu who has grown up with animals, the very animals his zoo-owning father has had packed onto the freighter on which he and his family are sailing across the Pacific to seek a new life in Canada. Pi has spent years getting to know Richard Parker and Orange Juice, the female orangutan who takes shelter on the lifeboat, along with one of the zoo's zebras and a hyena, in the early lifeboat scenes.
Pi is also intelligent and resourceful, the kind of person who would scour the boat for supplies, read and reread the survival manual, be disciplined about eating the rations and purifying drinking water. He is a problem-solver, a boy able to build himself a life raft out of life jackets and boards, and he is an accomplished swimmer. Pi has shown internal fortitude, too, in seeking Christian baptism, for example, despite the contrary views of his uncle and father.
Few films based on novels can maintain the complexity of the printed word, but they may not need to. Directors can edit to help propel the story forward, which is what Lee has done. The story's quickened pace and simplification—the removal of encyclopedic passages about animal behavior and the slow motion violence of the hyena's attacks and demise, for instance—make the religious questions stand out more clearly. Lee has kept the novel's framing conceit, so that in the opening and closing scenes viewers look on as the adult Pi tells his story to a writer. Especially in the final scenes, this device, which seems to let Pi step right out of the story, works. By this time we have heard two different stories. The second one sounds like a newspaper account about the survivors of a shipwreck, darkened by human brutality and their reaction to it. That story has few surprises and no animals, but could be true to the facts.
Just as Pi asks the writer to whom he has entrusted his tales, Lee asks us to choose which story we prefer. We are invited to step into the story ourselves. We have seen Pi's example and we know, as moderns, the arguments for science and provable fact. Therefore we should be ready at least to consider the proposition put before us: Do we choose science or religion, atheism or faith?

" Do we choose science or religion, atheism or faith?"
This is a common perception but a sad one. Because it is far from true. And because it is not even close to accurate has led many astray from the reality of life. Science actually supports the concept of a creator and undermines atheism which ironically is more faith based than is religion. Yes, atheism is 100% based on faith, a faith that that there is no God. A faith with little justification.
When discussing origins one need be more precise in defining the concepts involved. There has to be a distinction between the various types of beliefs here. Religion is a very vague concept while atheism is an absolute one. Atheism says there was no creator and is absolute while religion encompasses a wide variety of concepts that implies not only that there was a creator but there is an ongoing relationship between this creator and his creations. There is a third concept called deism that there was a creator and that this creator while bringing the physical world into existence, has then left this creation alone. This last concept was held by many of the founding fathers of the United States.
So we have three separate ideas of our existence, an entirely natural one that needed no intelligence for an explanation of the existence of the physical world and ourselves and is equivalent to atheism. A second one that there was a creator who may still be in existence or could have disappeared who created the natural world and possibly life but who essentially then left it alone. This could have all sorts of varieties. Then there is religion which says there is a creator who has an ongoing relationship with his creation and especially with his sentient creations which are us. There are thousands of varieties of this of which Catholicism is just one.
Faith could be applied to all three areas and when applied to the domain of religion, is one that says that there is only one correct form of relationship with this creator. It is possible to have an almost infinite number of variations of this relationship with the creator and I guess each one is based on faith.
Science does not support any specific belief or faith in the domains of deism or religion but it pretty clearly rejects the concept of atheism. Catholicism is based on the concept that God had to reveal the true nature of His relationship to this world and that it could not be discerned from logic or science alone. We have a revealed "truth."
The irony of this post is that the author has the wrong understanding of the relationship of science with religion. Science does not reject or undercut religion. It gives a strong thumbs down to atheism. Science does not point to any specific religion, it points to a creator. It may make certain religious claims doubtful but it does not support the complete opposite of religion, namely that the universe we see had purely natural causes.
This is a topic that has led to thousands of volumes of writings over the course of history and has mostly led man to come to the conclusion that there was an intelligent cause to the physical world. As the knowledge of man has progressed from basic superstition to explanations for nearly all physical phenomena some have speculated that there are physical explanations for everything, including basic existence and life itself. While science has been remarkable in its power to explain and understand it has been just as remarkably inept at explaining certain types of phenomena, namely origins. Science fails to explain why anything should exist, why it should exist in such an exquisitely precise fashion, how the most complex phenomena in the universe, life, could have happened, how life could have developed in even more incredibly complex ways over the last 4 billion years, how consciousness could have arisen and there are others that seem to be far beyond the capabilities of the standard model of physics.
We should not let the atheists have the high ground on this topic. It is their faith or beliefs that are subject to nonsense just as many of religious beliefs in the course of history have been nonsense. But the basic belief in a creator is on solid ground.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (170 votes).
In full: first time at this race,just looking for a run so started at the very back.good mix of runners, nice marshal's nice feel to the event.would run this one in 2016.......Date of review: January 21, 2015
In short: A regular visit for meIn full: This race starts a short hop from my local parkrun course and is a good mix of trail, road and canal towpath (although this can make choosing appropriate shoes tricky). This was the 4th time I have done the race. It's well organised and a scenic route.It would be nice to have a more bespoke medal.But I'll be back next year as it's a great race and an interesting distance.Date of review: January 19, 2015
In short: Great race, enjoyed the course, well organised and lovely marshals!Date of review: January 18, 2015
In short: A flat course, which is mainly off-road and very well marshalled. A well organised and enjoyable event.Date of review: January 18, 2015
In short: Well done 209 for putting the event on despite the conditions.In full: Lovely mixed terrain route made better (more challenging) by the dusting of snow. Glad 209 decided that the event could go ahead, loved it.Great value, great marshals, thanks.Date of review: January 20, 2013
In short: snowy/icy but funIn full: The conditions were challenging with all the snow and ice but the course was definately good underneath it all.. some obstacles for taller runners with low bridges etc and I believe a club member hit his head :( well done to all the marshalls who came out in it to keep us all on track and safe. excellent medal and goody bag not bad.. had a funny named energy drink in it though 'pussy' ???Date of review: January 20, 2013
In short: Good way to get New year weight off!In full: Small and well-formed. Its pretty flat and has some running on marshalled roads. Last half is virtually all along canal towpath which is too narrow for more than two abreast.Nice start/finish area. Good PB potential if you keep ahead of the crowds in the first 2kmDate of review: September 7, 2010
Date of review: January 29, 2010
In short: Great route.In full: Having done this for a few years this was the best route yet, especially the woodland start. As ever, it ran like clockwork and parking is as easy and convenient as they come. The pie van at the end was a welcome addition. The distance makes this a very handy start of the year training run.Date of review: January 29, 2010
In short: 8.2 is a nice change. Easy and well-organised canalside run.In full: Personally I'd prefer more off-road. My trail shoes were perfect for the canal and woods but made my legs ache on the roads!I like it as its my home area, so a training run for me.Date of review: January 26, 2010

Polite Swearing Tips For PresentationsTuesday, May 26th, 2009
"Confounded apprentice cooks, flummox you all!"
I hope I die before I start writing letters to the editor.
Like this gem in today's paper:
"Our family is really enjoying Masterchef. But has anyone else noticed the increasing use of four-letter words? When people swear, it demonstrates their lack of intelligence and creativity in expressing emotion. Why not try out words such as 'confound it' or 'flummox me'? Please Channel 10, rescue us from a new generation of Gordon Ramsays."
Yours truly,
Nigel, Naremburn
What the flummox?
We've dealt with swearing before, and found it to be acceptable in modest doses even for Prime Ministers. And Stephen Fry says the 'lack of intelligence and creativity' argument is, well, bollocks.
But if you're concerned your audience is full of prudish Nigels ready to take offence, here's 10 genteel swear words, put in presentation context as a handy guide.
1. Egad, I left my laptop in the cab!
2. Great horny toads, we've run three hours over time!
3. Consarn it, these solutions are nowhere near enterprise class!
4. This minty cola has been a goshdarn long time in R&D.
5. Send those concepts back to research, you stinkin' polecat!
6. What in tarnation happened to the pension fund?
7. Doggone it to heck, Kim Jong Il, are you testing missiles again?
8. ABC: Always Be Closing, you hornswogglin' varmints!
9. Oh fiddlesticks, we have to merge with Fiat!
10. That question is out of line, you puck-socking goat-poker!

Share Your Orders Thread
Since it's July… Assam from NMTC. And my free sample. :)
Soo yeah, I was going to use my $10 Verdant voucher, but I realized I want to have it for the next summer teas and/or possibly a glass steeper at a later date and/or my inevitable reorder of 8 treasures when it is running low at the end of summer, so I will wait. So here is the latest damage, from Verdant (knew this order was coming, too many tempting new teas lol)
Earl of Anxi – 7g
Bai mu Dan white tea – 7g
Laoshan apothecary green – 7g
Yu lu yan cha black – 7g
Bergamot rose laoshan black – 1 oz
Summer garden citrus mint – 1 oz
Zhu rong yunnan black – 1 oz
Laoshan Genmaicha – 1 oz
Qianjiazhai Old Growth 2012 Sheng – 1 oz
Total was 41.95 to make free shipping. Can't wait for it to arrive :)
Thank you, MissLena! Glad to see you're enjoying the Qianjiazhai. :D Did you see that we have a new sheng from Master Han? It's a little more citrus-savory rather than plantain-berry, but since it's coming from the same land and the same man, I think you'd enjoy giving it a try. Unless you have something else in mind, I'd love to get that to you as a free sample!
I saw that one! It was super close to making it in my order, and the citrus sounds delicious, I'd love to try that one for my sample! Thanks :) I'm so happy I've found some pu'erhs that I like, I am still getting onto shu, but shengs seem to be my calling so far!
Alright!! Then that's what we'll do. :D Very happy to hear that you're having fun diving into sheng pu'er. It's a huge, rewarding world.
Thank you so much! I'm very excited to be trying more pu'erhs, so far it's been quite fun!
Joint Adagio order with Cavocorax.
For Cavo – $47
- Tardis Blend – Tin
- The Jane Austen Mafia
- Black Dragon Pearls Sample
- Masala Chai Sample
- Yunnan Noir Sample
Mine – $47
- Shieldmaiden
- Dammit
- Fancy Tea: Afternoon Tea
- Green Dragon Pearls sample
- Sleeping Dragon sample
- Anji Duet sample
- Fujian Rain sample
- Dancong Aria sample
+Free Shipping since it was over $50 between Cavo and I.
I also got the hidden Konami mystery tea, though I wasn't able to get hidden Red Wedding tea since I heard it's currently out of stock. Rats. Lol. But I got a free gifted sample of peach oolong which I'm giving to my Mom, and got Ceylon Sonata as my free sample for ordering. Lol!
So excited for Shieldmaiden which was re-released by Aun-Juli since it's not a Tolkien specific term so it can't be claimed to be copyrighted. Same thing with Afternoon Tea which was her Elevenses tea, but she re-released it under her own 'Fancy Tea' brand with a blueberry inclusion. Then she got the ok to put Elevenses back up as it was, but I'm excited for the blueberry inclusion so I grabbed that one instead. Lol.
Next up eventually is gonna be a Verdant order. Though I'm still fighting with myself if I want to get the Lotus gaiwan and a cup or not. Anyone have any option on what they think of Verdant's gaiwan for a complete gaiwan newbie or should I get a cheaper one first? Lol.
I bought the lotus gaiwan as a birthday splurge and it's my first. I obviously don't have any opinions of other gaiwans, but I'm very happy with the one I have. Beautifully painted and pours nicely. Just one thing: since the gaiwan is made of thin bone china, it really heats up when I pour boiling water into it, and holding it is difficult (I got burned a couple times, nothing too serious).
Good to know Kiwi. And I'm fairly used to my fingers burning since I do alot of costuming/armor making with a material called Wonderflex. It's a plastic with threads running through it that can be heated (I use a paint stripper) and then bent to various shapes that harden when cooled. Lol.
Momo – Lol. What kind of tea is in it?
The problem not a problem anymore then! :D Is what you do a hobby, like for LARP?
Lol. Yeah. Not LARPing, though I know people who do. I do more the Anime/Game/Geek conventions and stuff.
It's an herbal – blood orange, sour apple, and rose petals. The two fruit teas are pretty hibiscusy but it's oddly really good with the rose.
Momo – Huh. Sounds interesting. Though I wonder if they just stopped giving it out since I don't think any of those teas are out of stock right now. Lol.
Made my first DavidsTea order. I wish it could have been a better one. But I'm on a major budget.
Lime Gelato-50g
Pink Lemonade-100g
1 Tea Tin
I'm super excited! Thought they would b perfect iced teas!! Since its summer and all.
Supposedly I'm on a haitus until school in september, but I got paid for playing in a small musical group so i figured hey why not indulge myself with some verdant?
1oz each of:
Laoshan black (i really want to give this one another try; last time with my sample it was too thick tasting and cocoa powder-y to me for some reason so i got an ounce to play around with it. Hopefully i'll find the perfect way to brew it)
Zhu rong (looked way too good to pass up)
I passed by Kusmi Teas on a different route home from work and I couldn't resst pickng up the Russian Teas Sampler.
It includes:
Prince Vladmir
Bouquet of Flowers
St Petersberg.
Order from http://instant-the.com … it's a French company that doesn't ship outside Europe but does sell 50g bags of Dammann teas (instead of their obligatory 100g). Got this sent to my hotel in Paris (free shipping over €39), so I'm hoping it arrives ok! All of these teas are Dammann Frères teas.
