Calhoun's Bass Fishing Team Wins Big at Southeastern Bass Fishing Tournament
January 23, 2017
The Calhoun Community College Bass Fishing Team participated in the 2017 YETI Fishing League Worldwide (FLW) College fishing tournament at Lake Seminole, Georgia, on January 14.
Competing against 140 college and university teams in the Southeastern division of the FLW/YETI series, Calhoun's team of students Denver Satterlee and Jordan Reeves placed 3rd in the tournament. This tournament victory will assure Denver and Jordan a spot at the FLW National College Championship this summer on Wheeler Lake in Rogersville, AL.
"The Calhoun Bass Fishing Team had existed off and on for years, but it was officially organized in 2012", commented Meg Graham, Bass Fishing Team sponsor. "We really appreciate the continued financial support from the college and our team sponsors."
Calhoun was the first community college in the nation to compete against four-year schools, and has helped pave the way for many community colleges around the country that now have fishing teams. The college competes in the FLW/YETI College tournament series, the BASS College tournament series, and the Boat US/Cabela College tournament series, where some of these tournaments have over 200 teams competing.

Many thanks to my friend Prof. Sung Yoon Lee for offering me the opportunity to co-write this with him, especially since he frankly did most of the writing this time. It's a pleasure to write with Prof. Lee. He's a terrific writer, and our views align so closely that there's no need for painstaking negotiations over wording and content. Really, I don't know of anyone who (1) understands the pathology of North Korea better, and (2) can express it so well in my native language (which he speaks better than me, to tell the truth).
After you're done with that, don't miss this paper Prof. Lee wrote as part of a symposium for the National Bureau of Asian Research. In the pages of Foreign Policy, Dan Blumenthal highlights it as "a much-needed dose of reality about what exactly we are dealing with." Must reading.
I also have to compliment the WaPo folks for a particularly speedy and professional job of editing this for publication. I've been an editor, and I know how hard it is to boil something down to the space limits without harming the author's intent.
In case you're keeping score, that's one-two–three times I've been linked by the Post today, which must be some kind of record. For that, I owe many thanks to Adam Cathcart and, of course, Max Fisher. After all these years, I'd grown accustomed to being dismissed as a crank raving from the margins. I hope I won't miss that old familiar feeling. I mostly hope that all of this effort will eventually matter where it counts.
Update: Geez. Get a load of The Washington Post's Editorial Board, sounding like us:
This should not mean trying once again to engage North Korea in negotiations: More than 15 years of such efforts have demonstrated that the United States lacks the leverage to induce the regime to give up its nukes. If any country has such leverage, it is China, which supplies its neighbor with fuel and food. U.S. diplomacy should be aimed first at pressuring Beijing to take responsibility for the growing menace on its doorstep. New Chinese leader Xi Jinping has the opportunity to change a policy that, in backing the Kim regime in the interest of "stability," has made the Korean peninsula steadily more dangerous.
Though sanctions on North Korea are already tight, the Obama administration should look for new ways that the U.S. financial system can be used to cut off the regime's access to international banks. It should work to bring greater attention to the human rights calamity in the North.
That's the next best thing to an endorsement. I never thought I'd live to see that.

In an apparent nod to public pressure and the exodus of corporate members like Coca-Cola and Kraft, the American Legislative Exchange Council last week announced it was getting out of the guns and ballots game.
The organization — better known as ALEC — said it was eliminating its Public Safety and Elections task force in order to "sharpen [its] focus on jobs, free markets and growth." Unmentioned was that task force's fundamental involvement in the spate of new voter requirements and gun laws being pushed through state legislatures around the country.
As an arm of ALEC, the task force birthed gun legislation like the "Castle Doctrine" and "Stand Your Ground" laws, as well as voter-ID requirements, all of which have passed and become law in recent years in Tennessee.
The group's brochure definition describes an innocuous effort to advance the principles of free markets and limited government through a public-private partnership. But critics see a shadowy conservative legislation-factory that gives corporations undue power and influence.
For $7,000 to $25,000 a year, business interests can obtain a membership with varying degrees of access to legislators and events. State legislators can join for $50 a year and some, in Wisconsin for example, have been caught using taxpayer dollars to pay the fee.
Legislators and corporate representatives alike can then join any number of task forces, where the two groups discuss and create model legislation that is then made available for legislators around the country to download and introduce in their state's legislature.
After an anonymous whistleblower leaked some 800 of ALEC's model bills to the liberal Center for Media and Democracy, it's more easily recognized as the force behind various legislative weather patterns, like the expanding gun rights and voter requirements, which it now says it will abandon, as well as the tort, education and union-focused bills it will presumably continue to push.
The occasional mishap has helped too. In January, Florida Republican state Rep. Rachel Burgin mistakenly revealed her use of an ALEC bill, when she forgot to remove their name from the preamble of a resolution urging Congress to reduce the federal corporate tax rate.
According to the Center for Media and Democracy, there are 44 Tennessee state legislators with ties to ALEC. The largely Republican list includes the highest-ranking Republican leadership in both chambers of the legislature, but it also names five Democrats.
On a board of directors made up of 15 legislators — with eight more serving on an executive board — two are Republicans from Tennessee: Rep. Steve McDaniel, who has been an ALEC member since 1989, and Rep. Curry Todd, who serves as the state's public sector chairman.
Each state has a public and private chairperson. Tennessee's private sector chair is Patricia Cannon. She was formerly the director of state government affairs for pharmaceutical corporation Allergan Inc. According to her LinkedIn profile, she now holds the same position at Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics.
Todd could not be reached for comment and phone calls and emails to an ALEC spokesman were not returned.
After ALEC's announcement, the group sent out a statement attributed to McDaniel in which he applauded the decision to "refocus [their] efforts." In an interview with The City Paper, he confirmed his position with the organization as well as Todd's and Cannon's. Not surprisingly, his view of ALEC is unfailingly positive.
"Because I believe in the Jeffersonian principles of free markets, limited government, personal responsibility and all those things, I think that business ought to be involved with coming up with legislation," he said. "If you don't communicate with the people who are creating the jobs and who are being regulated by government, you don't get a rounded full story of what's going on. I think ALEC's a good model to allow that to take place."
McDaniel said he couldn't point to a single ALEC bill this session and argued that even when model bills are used in the state, they're often changed throughout the legislative process to a point where he wouldn't call them "ALEC bills."
Along with the aforementioned gun and voter-ID laws, watchdog groups have pointed out parts of the scientific education bill, which Gov. Bill Haslam recently allowed to pass into law without his signature, that mirror sections of an ALEC model bill. Indeed, some language from the model, focused on classroom discussions about climate change, can be found in legislation across the country.
But state legislators have not been prone to announcing the origins of their legislation — at least, not on purpose — and increased media attention doesn't seem likely to change that. Last year, House Democratic Caucus Chairman Mike Turner introduced a bill that would have required legislators to identify legislation that came from outside entities like ALEC or the Tennessee Eagle Forum. It quickly failed.
Throughout this session, Turner has pressed legislators — as he did Rep. Judd Matheny about an Eagle Forum-backed bill that would restrict the number of foreign workers in charter schools — about the groups behind the bills they're pushing.
"A lot of what we've done here this year, a lot of the bills we have passed, I don't know what it would be, but I dare to say, if you researched it, probably a good 25 percent of the bills that we've passed this year were from some outside entity," he said.
Asked if groups like ALEC give an unfair advantage to wealthy corporations, McDaniel said he believes in his colleagues' integrity.
"If a legislator can be bought ... most can't," he said. "Their vote can not be bought in any form or fashion. They're going to do what they think is right for the people who sent them here. That's the way I am, that's the way all legislators I know are. It's just like [when] some association gives you a campaign contribution. My door's open to them and my door's open to everybody to present their case."
That raises the question, then: Why wouldn't legislators disclose the unelected entities who craft the legislation they're sponsoring? Although he didn't bring his bill again this year, Turner said he'll push it in the future.
"I'll probably bring it back up," he said. "But they'll kill it."


text: From a young age I have wanted to be a DJ. I originally started messing around with the program VirtualDJ when I was 9. But I was only messing around with already made songs, and I couldn't find anyone to help me work with the program so I eventually lost interest in it. But, now that I am 15, my interest in it has come back. And instead of poorly remixing already made songs like I used to as a kid, I want to make my own tracks. The only problem is, I don't know where to start and the programs that I have come across - FL Studio and Ableton - are very technical, and I cannot find any decent tutorials on how to use them. So I made an account here hoping that someone could point me in the right direction. So, if anybody could help me, I would be very thankful. Also, I don't know what program I should continue to use. I like FL Studio, but it feels really messy and there are too many screens open at the same time. Ableton on the other hand feels cleaner and simpler. But I don't know which one I should buy in the end.

Garth Brooks singing "The Dance"
He says the $226,000 was a loan; Lisa A. Sanderson says it was a gift. Now the courts will have to decide.
Garth Brooks and a longtime former employee will be headed to U.S. District Court in Nashville on Tuesday. According to The Tennessean, Brooks says that the amount is for repayment of a "long-overdue loan" he made to the CEO of his movie and television production company, Red Strokes Inc. Sanderson says the money was a gift. She also says that as a producing partner in the enterprise, she is "entitled to a production fee and a severance or retirement payment" from Red Strokes.
Red Strokes says that no money is owed to Sanderson and they are suing for repayment of the funds in addition to interest, attorney's fees and the costs of collection.
According to the lawsuit, the money went from Brooks to Sanderson's lawyers through Red Strokes between 2005 and 2007.
Well over 100 documents have been filed in conjunction with the case, but most of them have been sealed. However, one memo that has been released shows Sanderson calling their relationship an "extremely close personal friendship" where she considered Brooks to be "a brother."
The $226k that Sanderson calls a gift was money she says was used to help her with a custody dispute over her son, Benjamin. The two year legal battle was something she was unsure she could afford. A document prepared by her attorney states that, "Mr. Brooks stated in numerous occasions that he too was deeply concerned about Sanderson's son's welfare, and for that reason he wanted to take care of any legal fees Sanderson incurred in connection with the custody dispute. Mr. Brooks reassured Sanderson over and over again that 'it was all about Ben' and that Sanderson would never have to repay him for the legal fees."
In a countersuit filed in April of 2013, Sanderson filed a lawsuit against Brooks and Red Strokes in the Superior Court for California. In that suit, she alleged that Brooks promised to pay her half of the profits from the production deals she brokered for him as well as a $250,000 bonus for "loyalty and years of service." She stated that she "never received a dime of her fifty percent share of the producer fee" and stopped receiving compensation from Red Strokes in May 2011. Alleging fraud, breach of oral agreement, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and violation of the California Labor Code section that requires an employer to make good on all due wages and bonuses when an individual's employment is terminated, Sanderson was seeking $425,000, plus other damages.
With the suit against Sanderson taking three years to get to court, it will probably be 2016 before the suit against Brooks makes it before a judge.

In a game delayed almost two hours, Mike Pelfrey struggled but Jesus Feliciano helped set the table for the Mets, as they took the final game of the series against the Marlins, 6-5.
Game Notes
After a long rain delay, Mike Pelfrey was obviously affected adversely, getting beaten around. In four and two thirds of an inning, Mike Pelfrey gave up four runs on twelve hits with one walk and three strikeouts. The twelve hits that Big Pelf gave up today were the most he has given up in his MLB career. The delay, which was just a touch under two hours probably left Pelfrey on the mound tighter then usual. The worst part about his poor performance, is the bullpen was forced to pitch four and one third innings.
The bullpen, however rebounded after a horrible performance Monday and locked up the middle innings, allowing the Mets to get back into the game. Just as he did yesterday, Elmer Dessens came out for one third of an inning, getting the out when he needed it. Ryota Igarashi came out for the sixth inning, and has looked about as good as he has all season. Iggy went one inning and struck out three batters, allowing an infield single to Gaby Sanchez. Ryota mixed in his 78 MPH curveball beautifully with his blazing 95 MPH heat, all while pitching out of the stretch. The stretch may be the key to Ryota Igarashi's control and effectiveness. Bobby Parnell, making his sixth appearance, went one and two third innings, striking out one and giving up one run on two hits. Francisco Rodriguez would relieve Bobby Parnell, and get out of the eighth inning with one pitch. K-Rod then proceeded to finish up the game for his 18th save, allowing two hits and striking out one. In typical K-Rod fashion, he finished the game with his only strikeout with runners on first and third.
The offense decided as it has during this entire road trip that it would score early, knocking across two runs without Jose Reyes (late scratch, back injury), Angel Pagan (tender oblique) and Jeff Francoeur (day off). David Wright hit a two-RBI double, scoring Jesus Feliciano and Ruben Tejada. Ike Davis would add on, knocking in David Wright with a single to center. In the second, Jesus Feliciano brought Alex Cora home on a single. Josh Thole had another clutch hit today, with a bases-loaded single scoring Jason Bay in the sixth. In the seventh, the Mets would bring the last run across, when Jason Bay hit a single to left field that would score Ruben Tejada.
Ruben Tejada went 0-3, but scored two runs. Also, due to the late scratch of Jose Reyes played his natural position of SS for the first time since his second call-up.
David Wright went 2-4 with two RBI and a run scored. However, the K's are still piling up. David is at 90 strikeouts on the season.
Rod Barajas was the only Mets starter to go hitless, going 0-4.
Turning Point
Josh Thole and his RBI single gave the Mets the lead in the sixth ininning and from that point on they refused to relinquish it.
Game Ball
Jesus Feliciano, going 2-5 with an RBI, run and SB. Jesus is heating up, and he looked at home in the lead-off spot
On Deck
The Mets will travel to Washington, sending out Johan Santana to face-off against ex-Met Livan Hernandez. Game time is 7:05 PM

Morning forkers,
Watched Ski Sunday on telly, so was all psyched up for snow this morning. It's Winter Lypmics this time next year. One of our hopes is Soton guy, who was on the program.
In the Midlands, just over over an inch of snow. But it's fallen on relatviely warm ground. So where it's fallen on paving slabs it's already turning to slush.
Anyway it gave me a chance to clear a path to birdfeeders, and the area around them, using my leafblower. That was fun. Am now recharging the blower, and will clear a path for the postman soon.
The traffic will easily clear the roads round here, and keep them clear.
14 Jan 2013 08:13
A dusting of snow here but the roads are clear, I am more worried about getting stuck here if it snows later.
14 Jan 2013 08:19
There's no more snow forecast for us, for the rest of the week. Just a bit of sleet today.

Beef wellingtons look scrummy , Pam.
Kate, Gary could have borrowed your hat while he was using his leaf blower.
Hope Glyn doesn't have a diificult journey.
14 Jan 2013 08:45
Good morning all,
Wet and soggy here.
Your beef wellingtons do look scrummy. We had chicken wellingtons (if there is such a thing) with mushrooms and chorizo.
Have you a date yet for your open garden yet, Pam?
I thought the second part of A-Z of gardening was on over the weekend but couldn't find it.I saw last weeks and am going to have a go at apple grafting. I've got three trees about 15 years old and two planted last year.
14 Jan 2013 08:57
The 2cnd part of A-Z was on yesterday PPam, early am bbc2. So you could catch up on i-player? We've got a recording digi box so had set it to 'tape' the series, after missing the first one!
It's more rain than sleet outside now. Hmm, are we going out after all? Can always find things to do around here. J.
14 Jan 2013 09:03
PPam the second part was on yesterday morning
Chicken wellington sounds good I may have to try them !!!
All being well we are opening on Sunday July 21st this year

Morning lovelies!
Snowed again last night, but Jess is dissapointed there isn't enough to make a snowman. I, on the other hand am not!
14 Jan 2013 09:24
Spoil sport Becks!
How's Jess doing with the early get ups & presumably earlier bedtimes? J.
14 Jan 2013 09:31
Quite well jo. She doesn't argue about going up at all. In fact Saturday night, it was about 8.15pm and she asked me if she could go up to bed as she was tired! That's a first!!
14 Jan 2013 09:38
Mornign folks
No sign of any snow here, OH is off work this week so I'm hoping to get the new spot for the chicken run prepared then I can get a man in to lay a bit of paving here and there. OH is a man but does cooking rather than paving!!
You were a busy lot on here last night. I had a catch up then had to go to bed to recover
14 Jan 2013 09:40
Morning all. Those beef Wellingtons look yummy.
It was -3° here this morning, some sun but light snow forecast for this evening. Rain tomorrow, -5° forecast for Thursday morning. I live in a frost pocket halfway up a hill and it's usually 2 - 3° colder here than the forecast. Here is very pretty, grass usually green as we do get rain, Geoff would find Spain warmer than Dordogne.
Going to hypermarket Leclerc this morning.
14 Jan 2013 10:02
Have checked the forecast and its not much warmer in Spain (the bit I want to go to) than it is here at the moment. I know they do have the occasional frost there - but at least you're guaranteed a summer!
As Pam says, we have a dusting of snow here and its actually trying to snow a bit at the moment, but the roads are clear, so there was no problem getting to work this morning other than traffic.
I like the sound of a man who does cooking!
14 Jan 2013 10:08
Thanks all. I'll watch it on IPlayer.
I wish I lived nearer to come to your open day Pam. Do you have to be inspected every year to be included in The Yellow Book?
Shame on you, Becks. I still love snow. Well done with Jess's bedtime.
14 Jan 2013 10:20
Morning girlies and boysies
Am showered dressed and it has just gone 10-watched the rest of last night's film a bit more Borgen still got the second episode to go and still to watch Ripper Street-so no spoilers please
Still to watch A-Z of gardening
Well it is a bit of a non-event then -the snow-it was dry here during the night despite the forecast precipitation and after today it is said to be dry bright and cold-golfing in the morning-orange balls and thermals at the ready
Valencia is currently around 14C but is predicted to go higher in the week
Does M Leclerc- ever say "it s I Leclerc" Liz?
Looks like the workers made it in-boo to the snow gods

The demon that called itself Ash sat quietly on the curb surrounded by the circle of light from the lamppost overhead. A thin wisp of smoke curled from the cigarette held in his lips as he took a long draw, juggling the zippo between his fingers as he did, filling the street with a clicking of metal as it opened and snapped shut. It was a silly indulgence , but one that he found himself sharing with these humans. There wasn't much of the human world that interested him anymore, not since he had shed his old human skin and become something more... still, every now and then it was good to indulge. A philosophy he kept close to its heart. Or rather what passed for one.
He glanced around at a flicker of movement from the corner of his eye. Feeders crept and slunk around him, always in the shadows, never taking a step into the small bit of light that illuminated him. It was always that way. The feeders were forever lurking around him by the dozens, even when he had still been human, lantern eyes watching expectantly, hungrily, waiting for the death and mayhem that always seemed to follow in his footsteps. He wouldn't disappoint, with a few more carefully placed steps this small town would be reduced to mayhem enough that the feeders would have their fill for a long time. Yes, the town and the people who lived here would soon come to realize what it meant to fear... as soon as he found the girl with the gift. That wonderful gift to give suffering and torment and death... being squandered on the taking of pain, on healing. The demon's face screwed up in disgust at the very thought of it. Such a waste.
But, enough of that. The demon stood, brushed off his long coat, and spat out the cigarette. He'd taken enough time for himself and, although the Void was rather liberal with its servants enjoying themselves, there was still work to be done. Besides, his last bit of fun had had enough time to prepare itself. Without hesitation the demon strode purposefully across the street, feeders scattering out of his path not daring to get too close, hopped up the steps and knocked on the was a momentary scuffle inside and the door opened a notch. Blocked by the drawn chain lock from opening entirely.
"Can I help you?" A women leaned into view in the cracked door, looking at the stranger suspiciously. She was middle-aged and heavyset, with disheveled hair that showed signs of graying. Her whole bearing looking tired and worn-out. The demon didn't answer, instead, he leaned forward checking that his preparations were complete. The woman leaned back slightly, uncertain.
There was a shuffling at his feet and he knew the feeders had crept closer, sensing that something was about to happen, he ignored them. Behind the woman he could see a scattering of children's toys and somewhere a cartooney voice sang from a television set, playing some children's film.
"You need help or something, pal...?" The woman continued, "I'm not buying anything and I'm not looking to join any churches or anything so you can just get the hell outta here."
She tried to close the door then but the demon shoved his foot in the way, holding it open. The woman started to shout something harsh but was cut off as the demon smashed the door open, sending her to the ground with a sharp cry and a harsh expletive. The demon took a few steps inside, lifting his head and smelling the air. Feeders flooded into the house, leaping about excitedly as a child's voice called out and the woman snapped for her children to get away from the door. Yes, the demon thought, things were certainly prepared here.
"Alright, you stupid bastard." The demon turned his head, hearing the familiar sound of a shotgun shell being chambered, he turned his head to find the woman holding the loaded weapon at him, "you picked the wrong house to break into tonight. You got until the count of five to get the hell off my property or I'll blow you to Hell!"
The demon still didn't answer, unconcerned with the weapon aimed at his head. Yes, things were perfectly ready here....
The air was thick and heavy with the scent of the gas he'd carefully released through the stove with his magic....
The same scent he'd hid from the woman and her children with the same magic while it filled every inch of the home....
It had taken some time and doing... but again, it was a simple indulgence.
Feeders leaped and danced at his feet.
The woman's finger tightened on the trigger and her eyes suddenly widened, and she gave a shriek as she found herself confronted by dozens of shadowy figures, lantern eyes staring up at her hungrily, hands pawing at her. Further in the house a child screamed.
The demon flicked open the zippo and ignited it....
The demon that called itself Ash stood a block away watching the firefighters succeed in putting out the flames after a long battle. The entire neighbourhood had turned out to watch the ensuing battle. The house was little more than a charred wreck, debris from the blast littered the yard and three covered shapes were being loaded into ambulances and taken away, two of them small. The demon watched the crowd of people; firemen shaking their heads in disbelief, wondering how someone could have not noticed their house fill so completely with gas; mothers and fathers holding their children, trying to comfort them through the loss of friends. And one man, maybe in his late thirties to early fourties, who had arrived in a pickup truck minutes after the conflagration, staring forlornly at the ruins of his home and the remains of his family.
Feeders snaked and crawled everywhere, around people, under trucks and cars and through the smoldering remains of the house.
The demon smiled and took a deep breath. Yes, it was certainly nice to indulge every once and awhile, but there was still work to be done. Lighting a new cigarette the demon took one final look at his handiwork and turned, walking away into the night, and humming a happy tune to himself.

|HCV viral load and liver damage
Feb 27, 2003
Dear Doctor,
Is there a correltion between the HCV viral load in the blood and the damage to the liver? If the viral load is high in blood, is there more risk of damage to the liver, or is it not as simple as that? Thanks for sharing your knowledge...
Response from Dr. Dieterich
There is no correlation between HCV viral load and liver damage. Unfortunately it is not helpful. Liver biopsy is the only way to see the amount of damage in the liver. The viral load is one of the predictors of response to treatment. If the viral load is less than 2 or 3 million copies the chances of a cure are better. Good luck! DTD

email@example.com said: > I found your analysis very clear and compelling. However, I do not > agree with your conclusion. > There is no minimum acceptable level for incorporation of non-free > licences into public standards, just as there is no such thing as > being a little bit pregnant. I agree completely. I believe that the only point on which we differ is that my argument is based on the _assumption_ that the final definition of the 'RAND' licensing model will indeed be reasonable, and will indeed be the minimum acceptable level for W3C Recommendations. One has to assume that the W3C believe this to be the case, and any argument to the contrary is an orthogonal discussion. My point in the mail to which you responded was that _regardless_ of the precise details of the agreed minimum (and of whether we agree with that assessment), the W3C should be trying to ensure that RF licences are used as much as possible, and the minimum acceptable licence is used only where it's unavoidable. I shall now follow you down the path of your digression... In fact my assertion, stated more completely in an earlier mail to the list¹, is that any licence which imposes a per-unit fee is discriminating against free (gratis) software, and that any licence which imposes a per-product, per-version or per-developer fee is discriminating against the development model of Free (libre) Software. Neither of which could be described as _either_ reasonable or non-discriminatory. Therefore, any 'Reasonable and Non-Discriminatory' licence must, by definition, grant unconditional and fee-free rights for the development of Free Software to implement the standard in question. Personally, I happen to believe that an RF licence is the minimum acceptable standard. But that does not, and should not, prevent me from stating my belief that the W3C should encourage RF licensing over and above what _they_ finally declare to be their minimum acceptable licence. -- dwmw2 ¹ http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-patentpolicy-comment/2001Oct/0753.htmlReceived on Friday, 5 October 2001 13:07:07 UTC

Ok, so this isn't actually a game camera, but it is so cool, I had to write about it. Besides, it is made my a game camera manufacturer ...
Stealth Cam, the popular scouting camera manufacturer has taken a small leap into the security camera market. I say small leap, because they have taken their game camera technology, integrated it into a security flood light, and named it the STEALTH CAM PATROLLER.
This is a natural progression for Stealth Cam, and a fit that really makes sense for them. I've written in the past about using game cameras for surveillance, but now Stealth Cam has filled the gap with an affordable security device. You can now get affordable home or business surveillance for under $125.00.
Why do I like this idea so much? Well criminals are used to coming in contact with motion detector lights. It typically scares them off, or down the street to victimize another home or auto. Often the activation of security lights is never even realized by the home owner, who may be fast asleep. Most motion detector lights are only a temporary deterrent. A thief's crime spree will continue until he is caught. Most criminals today don't anticipate that they may be getting videoed or photographed when they trip a security light though. Having the ability to prove a crime with video evidence, or to be able to provide the police with a picture of the suspect can be critical to putting an early end to the crime spree.
So what is the Stealth Cam Patroller, and what does it do?
It is a hard-wired, 500 watt halogen security light, with a 2.0 MP camera integrated into the housing. It is capable of triggering an activation when a subject enters within up to 50 feet of the Patroller's passive infared sensor. Once activated, the camera will take multiple pictures, or shoot 10 second digital video clips.
It features:
The Stealth Cam Patroller is worth considering for peace of mind and for the protection of your family and property. I received an email131913191319 from our neighborhood association earlier this week stating that several vehicles had been burglarized in our neighborhood and an ajoining neghborhood a few nights ago.
It makes me wonder if someone was outside my house checking my truck doors to see if they were unlocked? If I had a Stealth Cam Patroller installed, I would know the answer to that question.
Great idea !!!
I want one…………..as you mention, many "undesireable criminal types" are accustomed to motion detector lights- not the fact they they are having their mug shot taken at the same time.
I like it-
I use motion detecting lights in conjunction with cameras and signs that say "Smile! You are being videotaped." We had 5+ people per night cruising our out of the way street every night. Video surveillance showed the number dropped to one per month after a couple of weeks. While I don't have one of these, the idea works!
Great idea. Video surveillance is becoming more and more popular as crime increases and criminal definitely don't want their picture taken!!!

C4ISR & Undersea Systems
Lockheed Martin's Rotary and Mission Systems, also known as RMS, provides surface, air, and undersea applications for U.S. and allied forces. The RMS portfolio includes radar and surveillance systems, undersea combat systems and C4I, surface combat systems and sensors, and advanced technology products including some of the most advanced ship hull forms operating today.
Lockheed Martin's C4ISR & Undersea Systems business is headquartered at our campus in Manassas, Virginia. Our exciting work includes cutting edge development of submarine combat system integration and sonar systems, as well as anti-submarine warfare, and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance also known to industry insiders as C4ISR.
- Cyber Security
- Information Assurance
- Linux and Windows administration, security scanners, and network assessments
- Network Engineering
- Cisco or Juniper routers, switches, TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, VoIP, and wireless LAN/WAN
- Project Engineering
- Microsoft office applications and CAM
- Software Engineering
- Development with strong Java, J2EE or C++
- Systems Engineering
- ISR operations and requirements analysis, systems test, shell scripting and testing
Come experience your future and review all the various programs we have available!
Lockheed Martin is developing solutions that provide a clear picture of what's happening around the world—and the infrastructure to act on it in real-time. With significant expertise across the entire C4ISR spectrum – ISR, command & control, battle command, tactical communications, integrated air and missile defense, intelligence fusion electronic warfare, and cyber security – Lockheed Martin translates technical capability into operational reality, ensuring low-risk, yet technologically superior solutions that address ever-evolving challenges. Space and Cyberspace are both contested domains. The US military relies on both for safety, precision and efficiency. A day without space and cyber on the battlefield could mean important missions fail.
EADGE-T (Emirates Air Defense Ground Environment Transformation)
As the first system to truly integrate disparate ground-based missile defense and air-based theater operations with next-generation command and control capabilities, the United Arab Emirates' (UAE) EADGE-T is certainly cutting-edge. This system supports one of America's closest Middle East allies by providing commanders with a layered, integrated view of the battlespace.
C2BMC (Command, Control, Battle Management & Communications)
This is the centerpiece of the Ballistic Missile Defense System. Responding to ballistic missile threats presents an unprecedented challenge of speed, precision, and coordination among numerous weapons systems, sensors, and warfighters. Decision cycles are reduced to minutes, and in some cases seconds, during which air, ground, sea, and space sensor-interceptor-communications elements must be orchestrated into engagement scenarios that seamlessly detect, track, target, and engage incoming missiles. To counter these threats, the United States is fielding a Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) capable of destroying a missile in all three phases of flight – boost, midcourse, and terminal. The C2BMC element is the critical tool that links the various individual sensor-interceptor-communications elements into one coordinated system utilizing the best offensive/defensive attributes of each element, ensuring the highest BMDS capability for protection against all types of ballistic missile threats in all regions and in any phase of flight.
Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance
Across air, land, sea and space thousands of sensors onboard manned and unmanned military platforms are collecting huge amounts of data. These ISR systems task, collect, process, analyze, fuse and disseminate the most mission-critical information. Lockheed Martin translates technical capability into operational reality, ensuring low-risk, yet technologically superior solutions that address ever-evolving challenges.
Our roles do require the ability to obtain a secret clearance and some require a final or recently active secret clearance.

Our opinion: Taped phone conversations underscore the seamy side of Rensselaer County politics.
It's two days till Election Day and a scandal has burst open in Rensselaer County that exposes all four candidates for two countywide offices — in law enforcement, no less — in an unflattering light. So goes a warning, voters, about who is at the top of the ballot.
There's Gary Gordon, the Democratic candidate for sheriff, on the phone to some county jail employees when they're supposed to be working. Mr. Gordon can be heard, on tape, taking care of campaign business, demanding political contributions and discussing the fixing of traffic tickets at the behest of the correction officers who are supporting him.
To that, three other political candidates are all too quick to rush to their own self-serving conclusions.
First there's Mr. Gordon's opponent, Republican Sheriff Jack Mahar.
Talk about wanting it both ways. Mr. Mahar has asked the governor, the U.S. attorney's office and the State Police for an investigation.
But, no, there are otherwise no problems at the jail, the sheriff says. Just a few bad apples, upsetting his re-election campaign.
Then there's District Attorney Richard McNally, also a Democrat, for whom Mr. Gordon works as an investigator. He's suggesting already that Mr. Gordon has done nothing wrong, despite 32 phone calls, many of them full of expletives.
"Gary has performed above and beyond the call of duty for what he's paid in this office and is an excellent investigator," Mr. McNally says, deflecting what's the real issue here.
Then again, Mr. McNally is responding to his own election opponent, Republican Joel Abelove.
Mr. Abelove smells blood. He wants Mr. Gordon suspended and wonders whether Mr. McNally might be implicated as well.
All this, thanks to tapes of phone calls released by Mr. Mahar, in response to a Freedom of Information law request by a Republican political consultant named Brendan Quinn. Talk about timing.
Whatever happens on Tuesday, Mr. Gordon is at the epicenter of a scandal that does need to be investigated, but free of such sordid politics.
This is a time when voters should see how county officials might perform in office, not run for it. Take note, everyone.

* FY EBITDA down 31 pct at 201.2 mln eur, in line with fcast
* Co says Xmas sales ok but expected better
* Fiscal first quarter sales including Xmas up 1.6 pct
* Company being taken private by founding family
By Victoria Bryan and Matthias Inverardi
DUESSELDORF, Germany, Jan 22 (Reuters) - German retailer Douglas Holding AG said Christmas sales fell short of its expectations after consumers stayed away from stores until the last minute, checking out deals online instead.
The comments from the seller of perfumes to jewellery underscore the fiercely competitive nature of the holiday season in austerity-hit Europe, marked by retailers fighting over shoppers' dwindling budgets with discounts and offers.
"It was ok, but we expected better," Douglas Chief Executive Henning Kreke told journalists on Tuesday.
"There just weren't as many people out and about in the run-up that we could draw into our shops," he said, speaking of a trend for consumers to get information online before going shopping in the final week before Christmas.
The group, which had already reported sales up 1.7 percent to 3.44 billion euros ($4.6 billion) in the 12 months through September, said revenue in its fiscal first quarter, which includes Christmas, rose 1.6 percent.
Other retailers including Germany's Metro and, in Britain, Dixons and Debenhams, have also spoken of a late pick-up in trading in the final days of the Christmas shopping period after a slow start.
The switch to online buying has been a particular problem for Douglas's Thalia chain of bookstores, which was late to acknowledge the threat from the likes of Amazon.com.
"Many retailers did not recognise this trend fast enough, and I include Douglas in this. But we have taken action," Kreke said, highlighting the launch of an e-book reader and the planned closure of 15 of its 296 stores.
The company, publishing its last set of annual results as a listed company following a takeover by its founding family backed by private equity, said full-year earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation fell 31 percent to 201.2 million euros, in line with its own forecast and hit by weakness in the Thalia books division.
At Thalia, the group booked restructuring costs and writedowns of 155 million euros for the fiscal year, dragging the group down to a net loss of 109.9 million.
It would not be paying a dividend for the year, it added.
Jewellery was a bright spot, Douglas said, with yearly sales at its Christ chain of stores up 9.6 percent.
Demand for diamond rings and gold watches is being fuelled by an uncertain economic outlook, which is making shoppers in Europe's largest economy seek out gifts more likely to retain - and possibly increase - their value, some experts have said.
Kreke said Douglas would disappear from the stock exchange having spent almost 50 years as a listed company. With private equity partner Advent International, it plans to expand internationally with both the Christ chain and its namesake Douglas make-up and perfume stores.

ARVADA — New details in the case against an engineering employee suspected of planting mercury inside his boss' telephone receiver have emerged after the suspect's twin brother was accused of stalking the lead detective in the investigation.
The identical twin's arrest affidavit outlines how the mercury could have been deadly.
That arrest affidavit, obtained by 9News, confirms that Philip Steel of Deer Trail is suspected of being behind an incident at his workplace, Dairy Engineering in Arvada, on Jan. 8.
Steel's supervisor reported that liquid mercury dripped from the receiver of his phone onto his face. He was not seriously injured.
Steel's house was raided by authorities Jan. 20. In the weeks following, Arvada detectives say, Steel's twin, Justin Motzer, began stalking the lead investigator on the case.
Motzer, a 45-year-old from Boulder who works as an investigator for an attorney, appeared in court Tuesday. He is set to be arraigned on a felony charge of stalking next month.

The United Center was rocking on Friday night to witness the season's first matchup between central divisional rivals Detroit Redwings and the Chicago Blackhawks. This game was circled on the calendar for both teams as the Hawks have held their divisional lead over the Red Wings all season. This would be the first of six for these 2 teams, with the first three games coming within 16 days.
Dan Carcillo returned to the lineup after suffering a concussion during the Minnesota Wild game on December 14. Jimmy Hayes made his NHL debut after being called up from Rockford on Thursday. He had switched places with Brandon Pirri who was sent back down after a mediocre game against LA on Wednesday.
With Carcillo and Hayes being inserted into the lineup, coach Q tried a new set of lines for this important matchup. Jonathan Toews was reunited with Marian Hossa and Carcillo. Patrick Kane saw himself back in the middle between Patrick Sharp and Viktor Stalberg. Dave Bolland was still with Bryan Bickell and newly rewarded Michael Frolik. Hayes started the game on the fourth line with Jamal Mayers and Andrew Brunette. The Blackhawks scratches for the game were Sami Lepisto, John Scott and Marcus Kruger, who is still suffering from concussion-like symptoms.
Jimmy Hayes made his presence felt early as he used his 6'6" frame to go Red Wing hunting. He had a couple of nice hits which separated the man from the puck. Carcillo also made it known he was back, as he laid a great hit on Red Wing Todd Bertuzzi in front of the player benches. Bertuzzi took exception to the clean hit and chased Carcillo to center ice where they decided to get the 22,166 season high crowd on their feet. Both fighters got their fare share of punches in and no decision was decided.
The Red Wings got on the board early as Justin Abdelkader buried a rebound of a Drew Miller shot.
That didn't deter the Hawks as they came back in the Wings zone with authority. Kane had a few chances as well as Hossa but Redwings goaltender Jimmy Howard stood strong. Finally, Jonathan Toews was sent in on a half break away and was hooked under the right arm by Detroit captain Nicklas Lidstrom. The referee through his arm in the air and pointed to center ice, indicating a penalty shot. Knowing Toews is automatic in shootouts, this got the crowd on their feet. Toews took the puck at center ice, came in and went five-hole tying the game at one with 5:28 remaining in the first. The period ended with the Hawks outshooting the Wings 10-7.
The Hawks opened the second period on their first power play as Lidstrom was unable to catch Toews again and was called for a hook as the first period expired. The Hawks were unsuccessful during their power play attempt put were pouring on the pressure. Bryan Bickell drew another penalty as the Wings were starting to feel the speed of the Hawks. Sharp had a great chance on the doorstep but is unable to finish and the Wings killed another Hawks power play.
Bolland was up to his "rat" like qualities and hammered Pavel Datsyuk with a check . Moments later Mike Commodore let a shot go from the blue line. It hit Bertuzzi and made it past Cory Crawford giving the Wings the lead once again.
Just two minutes later Marian Hossa took the puck around the zone playing a little game of keep away and let a rocket go from the left circle which got past Howard tying the score again at two with 12:30 left in the second period.
During a Wings power play Hossa and Bolland break in on a 2 on 1 with Hossa shooting wide. Wings end the period with a few attempts on Crawford. One puck beat him but not the post keeping the score tied at period's end. The Wings take the period in shots 14-8.
The tie was broken just 1:52 into the third period as Kane got a pass to Brent Seabrook who let a howitzer go from the slot. 3-2 Hawks with a period remaining.
Later, Bertuzzi was called for goaltender interference and the Hawks go on their fourth power play of the game. Again the Hawks were unable to add to their lead.
In the end, the Hawks win the game 3-2 and take the first contest between these two rivals.
Quick Hits:
-The three stars of the game were 3)Seabrook, 2)Toews, 1)Hossa.
-The Hawks and Wings each had 28 shots on goal.
-No power play goals were scored during the game as the Hawks go 0/5 and the Wings go 0/1.
-Duncan Keith led all Hawks with 28:28 TOI.
-Toews led the team with 6 shots on net.
-The Hawks remain atop the Central division and the NHL with (24-10-4) 52 points.
-Hawks next game will be against the Edmonton Oilers Monday night at the UC as the try to avenge the 9-2 route they received in Edmonton in November.

One Response to "Round 1: Blackhawks better than Red Wings; 3-2"
"…as the Wings were starting to feel the speed of the Hawks."
Usually it's the other way around. I think the speed of the game is perhaps it's biggest allure. Although Bruno may take the curve down a little, this group of Hawks can skate. as much grief as Frolik gets, I reaaly enjoy watching him fly around the ice.

Megyn Kelly Plastic Surgery is lately stealing many public attentions. She reportedly has had some procedures of plastic surgery to improve her appearance. However, what type of the beauty surgery she had still debated among plastic surgeons.
Megyn Marie Kelly who was born on born November 18, 1970 is best known as a journalist and political commentator on the Fox News Channel. In 2014 she was listed as one of the 100 most influential people in the world. But unfortunately, her career achievements seemed to be a little bit tarnished by the rumors of plastic surgery.
Did Megyn Kelly Have Plastic Surgery
Speculation of Megyn Kelly plastic surgery first appeared and became the talk of many people when some people saw her in one of the television shows in America look a little different than usual. Since then, many people speculate that the beautiful journalist has been getting cosmetic surgery.
According to some plastic surgeons that have not treated Megyn Kelly plastic surgery, the 45-year-old journalist seemed to have had some beauty enhancements around the nose, face skin and breast. They predict that the improvements in the part of her body are as the result of rhinoplasty (nose job), filler injection, and breast augmentation surgery (boob job or breast implant).
Megyn Kelly Plastic Surgery: Filler Injection or Botox
It is not secret anymore that Botox now becomes one of the procedures of plastic surgery which is most often taken by middle-aged women. It all may be caused by its function which can eliminate the visible aging signs like wrinkles.
Looking at Kelly's face skin in the age 45 years old, the rumor seems to be true if she has been under knife for Botox injection. The evidence of the allegation is based on her face skin which still appears so smooth without a lot of visible wrinkles. Some people may argue that it is as the effect of makeup. But, if we look closely at her latest picture, her face looks too great for her age.
Commonly, 40 years old women will have some frown lines around their face especially on the forehead, but it does not seem to apply for Megyn Kelly. Her appearance still looks ten years younger. She must have beauty treatments like Botox injections so that her face could still look fresh, smooth and youthful.
Megyn Kelly Nose Job or Rhinopasty
The other surgical procedure which she possibly had is a nose job. Judging from the comparison between Megyn Kelly before and after pictures, her nose now looks much different than the previous nose.
Megyn Kelly nose now looks much better defined than before. Let's take a look at the "before" picture! Her nose appears misaligned. Afterwards, let's compare to the latest photo, her nose now appears perfectly aligned with better defined at the tip. The transformation of her nose almost impossible occurs naturally without intervention of plastic surgeon. With a new nose shape Kelly now looks more beautiful even though her age is no longer young. In fact, some plastic surgeons claim that Megyn Kelly nose job was performed as good as Angelina Jolie nose job and Zac Efron nose job.
Megyn Kelly Boob Job or Breast Implant
The most noticeable sign of Megyn Kelly plastic surgery is on her breast which now looks much bigger and fuller than before. Some people who saw this change directly speculate that she has had breast augmentation surgery.
For those people who follow her year by year will see the transformation of Megyn Kelly measurements. Let's see the comparison between before and after pictures! Her breast size in the "before" picture looks smaller than in the "after" picture. Some people might assume that this is the effect of growth. But, try to look closely at the armpit! There is visible scar. This might incision for breast augmentation surgery.
The rumors of Megyn Kelly breast implant brings me back to the speculation of Gisele Bundchen plastic surgery in which she was also reported to have benefited from boob job.
Does Megyn Kelly admit all the allegation of plastic surgery? Until now there has been no official statement from her whether the rumors were true or not, she was still silent even as if she does not care with these allegations.
Conclusion, Regardless of whether Megyn Kendall has really had some cosmetic surgery procedures done or not, her appearance indeed still looks great even more beautiful for a 45-year-old woman. However, if the rumor of Megyn Kelly plastic surgery was true, she could be listed as one of the example of good plastic surgery.
What do you think about Kelly's ageless look? Does she look like having some works done on her face, nose and breast? Feel free to share this post if you find something interesting in it!

8. Static magnetic fields like those used in medical imaging
- 8.1 What are the sources of static magnetic fields?

8.1 What are the sources of static magnetic fields?
The source document for this Digest states:
3.6. Static fields
3.6.1. Sources and distribution of exposure in population
The number of artificial sources of static magnetic fields is small but there is a rapid development of technologies using static magnetic fields. The number of people with implants that can be affected by static magnetic fields is also growing. Static magnetic fields up to some mT are found in certain occupational settings, e.g., in the aluminium and chloralkali industries, in welding processes, and certain railway and underground systems. A very prominent application is MRI: different types of tissue in the human body can be identified and located by using static magnetic fields, magnetic gradients and RF fields. Close to the device a few hundred mT can be reached. Recently developed devices, currently only used by some research and specialised teams for specific applications, can use up to 10 T.

8.2 What possible health effects of static magnetic fields have been studied?
The source document for this Digest states:
3.6.2.Health effects
There are only a few epidemiological studies available and the majority of these have focused on cancer risks. There are some reports on reproductive outcomes, and sporadic studies of other outcomes. Overall, few occupational studies have focused specifically on effects of static magnetic fields and exposure assessment has been poor. In summary, the available evidence from epidemiological studies is not sufficient to draw any conclusions about potential health effects of static magnetic field exposure (Feychting 2005b).
A large number of biological studies have been carried out in an effort to detect biological effects of static magnetic fields. The studies include in vitro and in vivo laboratory studies as well as studies on human volunteers. This research has been reviewed comprehensively in UNEP/WHO (2006). Known effects of magnetic fields are orientation of forces applied on biological molecules with magnetic properties: haemoglobin, rhodopsin (visual pigment), free radicals, nitric oxide; these effects are detectable at field levels of about 1 T, without known health consequences.
3.6.3.Conclusions about static fields
Adequate data for proper risk assessment of static magnetic fields are almost totally lacking. The advent of new technology, and in particular MRI equipment, makes it a priority for research.

Maxine Kumin, 6/6/1925—2/6/2014
I was very lucky, back in the 1970's, to be able to work with Ms Kumin in workshops arranged by Sena Jeter Naslund at the University of Louisville. She had a tremendous influence on me at the time, and I've never stopped reading her work.
I've always particularly loved her book The Retrieval System. When I learned of her death I immediately thought of that book's title poem and, especially, "The Excrement Poem," which ends
I think of what drops from us and must then
be moved to make way for the next and the next.
However much we stain the world, spatter
it with out leavings, make stenches, defile
the great formal oceans with what leaks down
trundling off today's last barrow-full
I honor shit for saying: We go on.

What else have I been missing?
via the always thought-provoking and entertaining Arts & Letters Daily, I just read "'An Imp with brains': The forgotten genius of Charlotte Mew", written by Julia Copus, at The New Statesman.
I'd forgotten Charlotte Mew myself, though after reading a bit I did recall some of her work, and before finishing the article I was off to Amazon to buy a used library edition of her Collected Poetry and Prose. I got the only one, so there's no useful link, but there are available copies (including a Kindle edition) of her Selected Poems and print only editions of her Collected Poems and Selected Prose. But it wasn't just the generous quotes from Mew's poetry that brought out my debit card—Ms Copus writes wonderful, insightful prose, so I looked her up as well, and after finding this poem and discovering she's been short-listed for the T. S. Eliot Prize, I ordered the Kindle edition of The World's Two Smallest Humans, her latest book.
Maybe I should stop reading Arts & Letters Daily before I go broke.

Lewis Turco's The Book of Forms, 4th Ed.
The book's been indispensable for me since the 1968 1st edition (which Lew was kind enough to sign for me a few years ago) and I am very proud to say the new edition is out and includes a form I devised for Twitter and originally called a twinnet. I now call it a twiplet, and that's the name Lew used.
In related news, I posted about the publication in the UseNet group alt.arts.poetry.comments, where George Dance noticed it and was kind enough to add the form to his Penny's Poetry Pages Wiki. He also wrote a twiplet and posted it on the page including my definition and examples. I've added a link under "Poetry, Mostly Blogs" to George's site.

iPad Generation?
According to my daily Google Alert for poetry, "Poetry is 'in the ascendant' with young people as the iPad generation begins to reject the consumer society, according to the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy. …"
Now, wouldn't the eldest of any "iPad generation" be not quite 10 weeks old? And in England, less than that? I couldn't believe Duffy would make such a ridiculous statement (aren't iPads for content consumption?), and, thankfully, she didn't. It's from the lede, but iPads are never mentioned in the article itself.
I did write this post on an iPad.

In Case You Haven't Guessed …
NaPoWriMo's not going so well for me. "The world is too much with us …" But I like 2 of the 3 sonnets, and I've got drafts for 3 or 4, so maybe it worked out OK after all.
In other news, Victor Keegan at the Guardian has produced a nifty iPhone app, City Poems, which uses location services to display poems associated with where you are in London. Which I am not.

Poetic Justice?
I'm glad that two Supreme Court Justices have a little poetry as part of their familiar mental furniture. For many reasons I'm afraid the time is not far off when such casual quotation of poetry between important public officials will be a historical curiosity: fewer and fewer people read poetry at all; fewer poets are interested in making memorable poems; even fewer poets are interested in the techniques of rhetoric, rhyme, and prosody which can support making memorable poems; many actively avoid those techniques, distrusting them as productive of earworms, meaningless snippets that can actually interfere with comprehension of the poem — if they're even interested in being understood.
And it seems to me possible that the line from "Stopping By Woods" is just such an earworm for Roberts. After all, he's suggesting Souter is eager to give up his seat in order to return to "return to your land 'of easy wind and downy flake'" – but the poem is actually a rejection of the temptation to rest in that place:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Souter's reply, on the other hand, seems to me deeply grounded in the complex and unsettling "Two Tramps in Mud-Time." He is grateful for the opportunity he's had to do meaningful work — work "where love and need are one" — and deeply aware that such work is denied to many. Everything in the poem is precariously balanced: the singing bird "wouldn't advise a thing to blossom"; in summer we'll miss spring's plentiful water, still we should "Be glad of water, but don't forget / The lurking frost in the earth beneath"; there is even a sense in which his privilege is an affront to the two tramps' lack:
They knew they had but to stay their stay
And all their logic would fill my head:
As that I had no right to play
With what was another man's work for gain.
And yet he continues his work.
Obviously I have no real knowledge at all either of Roberts' or Souter's reading habits or of their intentions in quoting Frost. But I'm sorry it's Souter who's leaving the court.

Poetry's Ghetto
Here's what Wikipedia, after a nod to slam and identity poetics, says about poetry in the United States:
In general, however, poetry has been moving out of the mainstream and onto the college and university campus. The growth in the popularity of graduate creative writing programs has given poets the opportunity to make a living as teachers. This increased professionalization, combined with the reluctance of most major book and magazine presses to publish poetry, has meant that, for the foreseeable future at least, poetry may have found its new home in the academy.
I've long argued it's a disfunctional home, so concerned with internal politics and status that poets stuck there forget they should be writing for ordinary literate audiences, and now it seems to be going broke. I doubt there will be a bailout.
But even if university presses keep printing poetry, who besides the poets and their parents will care? Look at a pair of stats reported here nine years ago:
- The average print run for a book of poetry is 1,000 copies, and most titles are out of print the same year they are published.
- Poetry sites on the World Wide Web are, by one estimate, the sixth most frequently visited of all Web sites, well ahead of David Letterman's Top Ten List and 'N Sync's home page.
Nothing's improved concerning the first item, and while I'm willing to bet a small sum that this site alone gets more hits than 'N Sync these days, even the cited article admits there ain't no money in it.
Money, of course, is the great attraction of the university for poets. Very few have ever made a living entirely from their poetry, and the university is one of the very few workplaces where you can, at least, talk about poetry and not cause your colleagues to avoid you at lunch — though the kinds of poetry you can talk about may rather limited, and so may be the kinds of things you can say. An admiration for Longfellow doesn't seem to be now as completely outré as it was in the 80s, but the vitriol recently heaped by some academic poets on Robert Service and his readers in discussions at the Poetry Foundation's Harriet blog was truly astonishing. Here's part of one of the mildest comments:
The example of Robert W. Service is very shabby. As far as Robert W. Service goes I would be more than willing to wager that his work is NOT bought by poets during serious study, but rather by Moms and Dads buying the illustrated versions of their children. I would not hold children up as part of a serious readership of poetry, not as an example. I could be wrong but I doubt it.
Let me be clear: those who derided Service (certainly not all of the commenters, and certainly not Annie Finch, who originally posted on Plath) frequently mentioned a young readership and the existence of illustrated editions as points against him, as evidence that he isn't valued in the academy, which means he isn't taken seriously as a poet by the people whose opinions count, those whose views control the canon (but hasn't the canon been burst open!?!).
Who do they think they are? Who do they think will read their poems in 30 years when most of those 1000 copies of each book have been recycled into paper picnic plates and garden mulch? Certainly not those no-longer-children who are now reading illustrated editions of Robert Service. May Google preserve them — which their presses seem unlikely to allow.
This past weekend, in Marilyn Nelson's workshop at West Chester, I was granted (well, I paid a lot of money for it) a revelation about just who they might be reading, and about a possible way out of the ghetto poets seem to have created for themselves. Tomorrow I'll share that revelation — hey, I've blathered enough already!

Happy Birthday, Maxine Kumin!
I once asked her if she thought I might ever write a real poem or if she thought I was just a reasonably clever grad student. She answered "I don't know." She was only at the University of Louisville for about a month-long residency, so it was probably just reasonable courtesy, but I was much encouraged.
Here is one of many of her poems I've loved.

Students came to Tiananmen Square
To mourn the death of Hu Yaobang,
And call the old men to repair
The State they'd led to wrong.
Workers joined the student throng
And made the Square the people's place —
Thousands and tens of thousands strong,
They gave Liberty a Chinese face.
From the Great Hall of the People glared
Faces from the revolution, hung
There to silence those who dared
To charge the State with wrong.
But now the torch of freedom shone
From the statue of a woman raised
Before them — the people's challenge flung,
Giving Liberty a Chinese face.
Deng Xiaoping and Li Peng stared
As one man, unarmed and alone,
Despite the armored terror
Of the State's insane wrong,
Stopped a column of tanks along
The Avenue of Eternal Peace.
He simply stood his ground,
And gave Liberty a Chinese face.
Remember the thousands dead and mourn.
Remember the State's deadly wrong.
Martyr's blood is never erased —
They gave Liberty a Chinese face.
