The Vespa PX125 has essentially remained unchanged since its introduction in 1977, but it doesn't feel 35 years old. Subtle changes to keep the Vespa up to date and to get it through Euro 3 emissions regulations mean it feels similar to a modern scooter, only with a two-stroke, manual engine. It doesn't handle like a sportsbike - but a ...

There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...

Practicality and convenience are where today's large capacity scooters come into their own. Such an example is Kymco's new 300i Downtown – we say example because it is a new arrival in a growing populace of big-bore four-stroke scooters.At £3999, the Kymco's 300cc capacity sits performance-wise between Suzuki's Burgman 200 and 400 machines, and matches Honda's SH300i. What sets the ...

Yamaha's YP 250R X-Max is a middleweight twist-and-go 'maxi-scooter'. It has all the practicalities of a conventional scooter with a bit more oomph for longer journeys and decent-sized wheels and tyres for cornering confidence.
278cc, 22bhp, 80mph, Insurance group 7
The GTS 300 Super is Vespa's biggest scooter to date and blends classic Vespa style with bang-up-to-date performance, refinement and sophistication. It's up to more than outings across cities and suburbia: get the extra luggage, load it up and it'll happily take you for a long weekend away touring. At 70mpg-plus it won't cost too much either, though a bigger ...

The Runner is a long-term favourite in the scooter market, and for this year the original design was finally updated. Now four-stroke, the Runner is a sporty-looking and practical machine.
278cc, 22.4bhp, 85mph, Insurance group 7
The Gilera Nexus sits between the Nexus 125 and the Nexus 500 as the mid-capacity sporty scooter in the Gilera range. The design is based around the concept of a sportsbike, but adapted for a CVT step-through scooter. It's certainly sportier than most big scoots – but essentially it's a commuter with a sports image.

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it's worth fighting for
Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.

While taking Elementary Chinese, I had the opportunity to practice traditional Chinese calligraphy. This was my absolute favorite part of class because it shows that there is not only a difference in the way words are written (characters versus letters), but also a difference in the method of how the language is written. Calligraphy is a traditional part of Chinese history and culture, and being able to practice it myself made me respect that aspect of the Chinese culture even more. It is no easy feat to write using a calligraphy brush!

Many parents go far to get their kid get into a top college. One Parisian maman truly took it upon herself.
Grueling college entrance exams like the ACT and SAT tend to be the Holy Grail of college admissions, which means both parents and students go to great lengths to ensure the best possible score. They often pour tens of thousands of dollars into top-flight tutoring, and they've been known to engineer cheating scandals worthy of a spy novel.
In France this week, one Parisian mother took matters into her own hands.
Identified only as Caroline D., the 52-year-old French mother attempted to take the English portion of the pre-university baccalaureat exams trying to pass as her 19-year-old daughter, identified as Laetitia, according to The Guardian.
Caroline D. certainly dressed the part: She wore Converse shoes, low-waist jeans and lots of makeup in an attempt to imitate her daughter. She easily slipped into the school, which her daughter did not attend so staff didn't know Caroline wasn't Laetitia. Being a grown-up wasn't a hindrance, either, since many French adults take baccalaureat exams, the Guardian said.
Related: The 10 best private colleges, value wise
Caroline D.'s only problem was that an exam supervisor who administered a philosophy test to Laetitia a few days prior was also present at the English exam. The supervisor immediately recognized the discrepancy on Caroline D.'s ID, but waited two hours to out the mother, fearing a sudden removal would jolt the other exam takers.
When the time was right, Caroline D. was led out of the exam room and met by local police. According to The Local France, Caroline D. readily admitted that she was taking the exam in place of her daughter.
She faces legal action and her daughter may have to wait five years before being allowed to take the baccalaureat exam, The Local France reported.
According to the website, France has recently cracked down on college entrance exam fraud. The country slapped five-year bans on 140 students in 2012, compared to 67 in 2011, according to the site.

College entrance exam ruses abound.
This year, Korea decided to cancel SATs for the entire country after education officials discovered test questions had been leaked to numerous test-prep schools.
In 2011, 20 former and then-current students in Great Neck, Long Island, were charged with being part of a scheme that paid college students between $500 to $3,600 to impersonate high school students and take the ACT or SAT for them, using phony IDs and papers.

The RINO Scott Walker says swift-boated John Kerry would be a great Secretary of Defense. Now, isn't that one hell of an endorsement. Just what this country needs is someone in a leadership position who denounces his service, repudiates his country, and has never held a private sector job of note. What's next?

AutoGuide News Blog
The AutoGuide News Blog is your source for breaking stories from the auto industry. Delivering news immediately, the AutoGuide Blog is constantly updated with the latest information, photos and video from manufacturers, auto shows, the aftermarket and professional racing.
With SEMA just a week away, cars are being teased and sneak previewed left and right. Back in August, we got sight of the Fortune Motorsports / Tjin Edition Tour Honda CR-Z under wraps, literally. Now the cover's been blown off the rendering and put on the finished product.
The full rendering reveals what the Honda CR-Z is going to be all about, a very clean and functional build without going overboard with the actual cosmetic modifications. Carbon fiber accents come in the form of a hood and a front lip while sportier mirrors round off the exterior modifications.
The half-reveal of an actual photo of the car shows Baer brakes with a red caliper setup and the custom Track Spec ADV10 wheels from ADV.1 wheels are looking good on the finished project. The front lip sports a different design than the rendering while the finished project will sport a HKS Kansai Lips which is more of an add-on to the factory front bumper.
This is just the first of numerous Honda CR-Zs that will be on display and AutoGuide will be sure to bring you full photos of all of them with coverage of the 2010 SEMA Show starting November 2nd. Until then, check out our SEMA Preview here.

David Cairns
No artist's achievement connects more directly with early experience than that of Berlioz. David Cairns draws on a wealth of family papers to recreate in authentic and intimate detail the provincial milieu of Berlioz's boyhood, showing how the son of a village doctor was already transforming himself into the composer of the Fantastic Symphony. Berlioz's desperate attempts to win his father's approval for his vocation, his struggles to establish himself on the Parisian musical scene, and his passionate pursuit of love are all brought vividly to life in this first volume of David Cairns's acclaimed biography, winner of the Royal Philharmonic Society's Music Award and the Yorkshire Post Book of the Year.
'David Cairns has a wonderful story to tell and he tells it superbly well ... rich in detail and imbued with imaginative insights that stem from love. It is also written with an enviable blend of grace and energy.'
'In David Cairns, Berlioz has found a biographer who shares his sense of scale. There is not a dull or redundant page in the whole book. Cairns has lived, breathed and dreamt Berlioz for more than twenty years. He has visited the places Berlioz visited and read the books Berlioz read ... You would no more want to read a slimmed-down version of this book than you would an abridged version of David Copperfield .' Sunday Telegraph

How much does Family Cord Blood Stem Cell Banking cost?
We appreciate that having a baby can sometimes be financially challenging but we also believe in the importance of storing your baby's cord blood and offer a range of payment plans to help make cord blood banking as financially accessible to Australian parents as possible.
Cryosite strives to keep the prices for cord blood banking as low as possible without compromising the quality of the service, which is our absolute priority. Cryosite does not require full payment until your child's stem cells are safely stored.
There are no charges for the release and transport of your child's cord blood within Australia when they are needed.
You have the option of Initial Storage for 18 or 25 years
Cryosite has payment plans for initial storage periods of either 18 or 25 years. When your child turns 18 or 25, they can extend the storage period by paying a nominal annual storage fee. Call us for more information on extended storage.
Cryosite's Discounts
• Existing Cryosite clients - $200 discount
If you have previously banked your baby's cord blood with Cryosite we would like to show our appreciation by offering you a $200 discount for each successive child.
• If you have previously banked with someone else - $150 discount
Banking your child's cord blood is an important decision, and naturally, you would want to re examine the capabilities of your previous cord blood company before you enter into a new storage agreement for subsequent children. If you previously banked with someone else, and you would rather bank a subsequent child's cord blood with Cryosite, we offer a $150 discount for your next baby's cord blood collection.
• Twins Discount - $400 discount
To assist with the costs associated with twin births, we provide a $400 discount off the total Processing Fee. Ring us for special pricing on triplets.
• Refer a friend bonus - $50 discount
If you have banked your own baby's cord blood with Cryosite and you "Refer a Friend" who stores their baby's cord blood with Cryosite, we will mail out a $50 "thank you" voucher for referring your friend.
Potential Additional Charges
• Late Registrations – An additional charge may apply for Late Registration if a collection kit needs to be sent using a "same day" courier. Please contact us urgently if you need us to arrange this service for you.
• Collection Fees - there is no collection fee if your doctor or midwife performs the cord blood and maternal collection for you. A collection fee may apply if you require Cryosite to provide you with a collector. Please contact us for more details.
A note on comparing costs
The viability of banked cord blood stem cells and its availability for future use, depends on the experience of the scientists, and the long term security of company you chose to bank with. Parents have a choice between several private banks and when deciding, the experience and security of the cord blood company, as well as the cost, is an important consideration. Why choose Cryosite.

JA - IEEE Transactions on Computers
The design of a text-retrieval machine, called HYTREM (hybrid text-retrieval machine), for the support of large unformatted text databases is described. A signature file is used as an access method to reduce the amount of data that need to be searched directly. Therefore, HYTREM consists of two major subsystems: a signature processor and a text processor. The signature processor is based on a world-parallel, bit-serial organization which is faster, more efficient, and more flexible than a word-serial, bit-parallel organization proposed by S.R. Ahuja and C.S. Roberts (1980). The text processor, called ALTEP (associative linear text processor), is a linear array of logic cells capable of matching regular expressions at a much higher speed than that of previous designs. Since both the signature processor and ALTEP are highly parallel processors, a high-speed multiple-response resolver is provided to facilitate data transfer between the processors and the controllers over a single common bus. Issues about th design of a cost-effective mass-storage system are also discussed. Performance and implementation issues for HYTREM are discussed.

A new PSA from the Georgia Department of Law has a message for Georgia sex traffickers. It's a movement cracking down on offenders.
"If you're going to be involved in the sex of our children, we're going after you," said Attorney General Sam Olen. "We're going after you hard."
This week Olen launched "Georgia's Not Buying It," a campaign to combat child sex trafficking. He says the state has increased a sex trafficker's sentence from eight to ten years to 25 to life.
A 2009 study found more than 12,000 men in Georgia buy sex from young girls in a given month, and Augusta is no exception.
Director of Mercy Ministries, Fran Oliver says right now she's helping a young girl transition from a lifestyle of sex and drugs. She says it's a vicious cycle that she sees far too often in Augusta.
"These pretty young girls, they're out here on the street trying to live and they're quickly scooped up by unscrupulous people that use them," Oliver said.
In an effort to stop sex trafficking in the state, the initiative isn't focused on the pimps or the people who sell young girls for sex, instead it focuses on the buyers.
Young girls they run up and say, 'You got $50 for some *bleep*?"said Guy Stewart.
Stewart says he's been approached by several young women when getting off of work around midnight; proof there is a problem, not just in other places around the country, but right here in our community too.
"We've got to get the message out that our children are not for sale," Olen said.

I realized for someone to earn around $5 a day on teckler we need to produce 100 Tecks/articles. I know it seems like a whole lot but it is very much possible and I am going to prove it. Within the next 24 hours I am going to create at least 100 tecks, that's right I did say 100.
I will also report my earnings and the amount of view in which I received to make these earning. I know many of you may think that I am crazy because 100 articles for $5 is not worth it. But this time its not about the money I am doing this to prove a point.

To any of my fellow Sae oshi who are complaining about Sae being made Captain of Team S: Please shut up
I'm not saying don't be upset or worried, we don't know what all this will lead to. But if you are spending the day after blaming Sae or blaming management or just being angry you need to stop. Stop being so ridiculous and calm down. We should all be supportive and encouraging of Sae. And we…
I understand where you are coming from and from Sae-oshi's perspective, I can't be happier that her homebase is finally in Japan and not in some country where she can't even obtain a work permit…
There will be theaters, stages, concerts and handshake events!!
But having that said, you can't ignore the fact that it makes absolutely no sense for her to be leading team S—- from an SKE fan's perspective. I am in no place to complain about anything, but I think feelings that management is trolling her (instead of letting her graduate graciously) is totally legit.
I can't help but feel that this is management's "revenge" on Sae, like she doesn't have enough anti's already…"let's unleash the wrath of diehard SKE wotas on her…"
But like Kitarie, I have absolute confidence that she will come out fine and try her best to be SKE, to be accepted by their fans and to prove her worth and leadership, eventually. I've never been prouder as a Sae fan for the effort she puts in for SNH.
I just think that journey was too heartbreaking, which is why I worry (or over-worry) when this new kenin is announced.
To: SKE fans
It isn't Sae's fault
We wasn't expecting this too
Truthfully I wanted Sae to get a captain position that she deserves in Team K
They made her captain of Team S instead..
We understand how it feels to have an original team member transferred out of the team..
LOL This song is so awesome!!!
Heart gata fics: Please don't call yourself Sae-oshi if you are a SNH-anti!
I am also not a fan of SNH48. I am okay that you don't accept Sae's return to that group. I'm okay with you being angry with management.
But do you have to call SNH members "sluts"?
Sure there are some members who may act fake, or who may say things you don't like. They can't dance well. They…
I would like to know from where is this rumor coming from, all Sae oshis I know, support Sae chan, and we're even wishing Sae will perform together with SNH girls. but yeah, I don't think Sae will like antis.
Just to be clear, it's not a rumor, it's someone I saw and interacted with in the fandom, in quite a public sphere. Here on tumblr, Sae-oshis are mostly very nice and supportive, so I'm very glad about this. I don't want to publicize where I saw this, so as not fuel an unnecessary war. I just hope that if the fandom overlaps somewhat with that on tumblr, someone might be able to see this and let them know how wrong they are, and how they should stop this.

Look for The Loop — on the same street as Nearby the Tree, Friend Bar and Two Guys and a Pie as Yashow Market — to soon reinvent itself as far less restaurant and far more wine bar and retail shop.
Manager Weiley Lu says he expects to serve the last supper on Wednesday night before undergoing renovations and reopening in May. Lu, completing his diploma for the Wine and Spirits Education Trust, aims to provide a venue not only for people to stop by and drink a few bottles but also to take some home.
Here is hoping he does for wine what nearby Heaven Supermarket did for beer, which was to bring together over a hundred options from more than a dozen countries at prices that encouraged customers to explore. A place that offers good prices on some standard wines along with those from lesser-known distributors, brands and grape varieties would be welcome. Here's further hoping he keeps this wine on the menu.
Given Lu's kitchen experience, expect the reinvented Loop to offer snacks. It will also serve as a venue for small wine events. I've organized a few of tastings at The Loop and it works as a laid-back spot to gather a half-dozen to ten people and sample wines.

Andy Whitfield, who was from Wales but lived in Australia, was a relatively unknown actor until he was chosen for the series, a sex- and blood-soaked version of the early life of the Thracian gladiator who led a slave rebellion against the Roman ruling class from 73 to 71 B.C.
Whitfield took what was supposed to be a temporary leave from the show, which was an instant hit after its January 2010 debut, after a routine check-up in March of that year revealed a recurrence of cancer.
Starz Entertainment, the premium channel that airs the show, used different actors to film a prequel called Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, while awaiting the star's return. But Mr. Whitfield never recovered enough to come back.
Andy Whitfield is survived by two children and a sister. In her statement, his wife described him as "our beautiful young warrior." She said he died in her arms.
Statement from Starz, which was home to Spartacus: Blood and Sand:

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney wants to save Social Security and Medicare partly by cutting benefits for higher-income recipients. President Obama also sees wealthy Americans as part of the solution but suggests instead raising their premiums or payroll taxes.
The fact that both presidential candidates back some form of so-called "means testing" suggests that millions of future seniors will probably end up paying more, or getting fewer benefits — no matter who wins the White House.

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
Little sister, come away,
And let us in the garden play,
For it is a pleasant day.
On the grass-plat let us sit,
Or, if you please, we'll play a bit,
And run about all over it.
But the fruit we will not pick,
For that would be a naughty trick,
And very likely make us sick.
Nor will we pluck the pretty flowers
That grow about the beds and bowers,
Because you know they are not ours.
We'll take the daisies, white and red,
Because mamma has often said
That we may gather then instead.
And much I hope we always may
Our very dear mamma obey,
And mind whatever she may say.

Monty Python's Spamalot
September 20, 2014 - November 16, 2014
Lovingly and unapologetically "ripped off" from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail, this spoof of the legend of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table features a bevy of beautiful show girls, personable cows, killer rabbits, and French characters. Stretching the imagination in its retelling of the legendary tale of Camelot, it has been performed worldwide in multiple languages and "raises silliness to an art form," while winning three Tony awards as Best Musical following its 2005 Broadway debut. Only recently made available to professional regional theaters, this smash Broadway hit is a "must-see" for audiences who appreciate a rollicking good time and an escape from the mundane into the realm depicted by The Bright Side of Life.
It's A Wonderful Life
November 22, 2014 - January 4, 2015
Based on Frank Capra's beloved and timeless movie, this joyful musical adaptation written by the award-winning team of Susan and Philip Kern and Jerry Lowe closely follows the original story of George Bailey and his satisfying life in Bedford Falls, New York. After despairing over a serious setback to his family-owned savings and loan company, George contemplates committing suicide in order to cash in on his life insurance. But before he makes his leap into eternity, George's guardian angel Clarence, who has yet to earn his wings, intervenes and reveals how different the world and everyone in George's life would be had he never been born. Through a series of "flashbacks," George eventually comes to realize that his life truly is worth living and that everything he has is everything a man could want. Filled with memorable songs and Norman Rockwell moments that evoke the nostalgia of small-town life in 1940s America, this production is sure to warm your heart and make your holiday season especially bright.
The Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber
January 10, 2015 - March 1, 2015
Thrill to the signature songs from the most acclaimed musical theatre composer of the past five decades, with excerpts from Phantom of the Opera, Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Starlight Express, Jesus Christ Superstar, Cats, Sunset Boulevard, Aspects of Love, and Requiem, delivered by a select ensemble of superb singer-dancers and award-winning actors. Artistic Director Patrick A'Hearn (an original member of the Michael Crawford cast) directs a powerful and sophisticated theatrical experience that includes the songs The Music of the Night, Don't Cry for Me Argentina, Any Dream Will Do, Memory, Pié Jesu, Superstar, and Love Changes Everything.
9 to 5 - The Musical
March 7, 2015 - May 3, 2015
Pushed to the boiling point at their workplace, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In an ingenious conspiracy to gain control of the company, the girls discover that there's nothing that they can't do – even in a late-1970s man's world. Adapted from the hit movie with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, this outrageous, thought-provoking, and lightly romantic mixture of friendship and revenge in the "Rolodex era" provides a glimpse into taking care of business with a not-so-soft feminine touch. We anticipate the return of TV and film star Sally Struthers to enhance a stellar cast belting out songs varying from the hilarious to the downright suggestive. Reserve early!

Multiple Lines of Evidence for an Old Universe
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.

Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
Series: The Human Fossil Record (19 entries)
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.

Honesio Alves Pereira, of East Timor at John James hospital following an operation on his leg. Photo: Rohan Thomson
FOR almost three years, 14-year-old Honesio Alves Pereira was hopping on one leg after a motorcycle accident pushed his femur through his skin and it didn't heal.
Now the East Timor national's leg is straight and when he returns home in three weeks he will again be active.
Honesio was treated at John James Hospital through a sponsorship between the hospital and Rotary Oceanic Medical Aid for Children (ROMAC).
Orthopaedic surgeon Phil Aubin performed a three-hour operation to straighten the leg.
''[In East Timor] they stuck him in skeletal traction, which is something we used 40 years ago. It doesn't always work which is why we don't use it here any more,'' Dr Aubin said.
''The bone didn't heal so his bone was moving all the time. It adopted a position where it was almost bent 90 degrees … it would have been very painful.''
In Australia, the break would have been treated immediately with no long- term damage but Honesio's wait stopped the leg from growing.
''He'll always have a shorter leg on that side, but we were lucky that ROMAC had some money to bring him across. Now that his leg is straight it will heal and he'll be able to weight bear on it, Dr Aubin said.
Speaking to Fairfax Media through an interpreter, Honesio said he was overwhelmed by the generosity. ''In the past I can only go to school,'' he said.
''When I got home I would go to bed directly to eat, read - nothing else. I could not do anything like any other normal people do.''
Last Sunday's Rotary Rides Canberra Five Peak Challenge raised money for ROMAC. The charity helps children from developing countries afflicted with severe medical conditions and receives more than 100 applications to treat children each year. It can only afford to treat 35.

Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Moved into our house 27 years ago. Staill feeling really bloated and uncomfortable.
Disappointment--official weigh in at 154.4 despite the fact that I was running at 153.6 since last Friday. Clearly I need to redouble efforts to cut calories.
A little stiff and sore this morning but will take a gentle walk before work and make sure I have lunch ready as I have back to back meetings. Retaining water this morning too--hope it goes away for weigh-in tomorrow.
Excessive wine last evening but still a pretty good night's sleep. Had to spray Afrin and take ibuprofen around 1am for sinus congestion & headache. After those took affect I slept till almost 5:45. Dragged myself to HBC for strength training. Started to do treadmill for 5 minutes to warmup but ended up doing 30 minutes at avg 17 min/mile, followed by 5 weight machines and a little stretching. Weight has stayed steady since last Friday when it has usually gone up a pound or two during the weekwith any luck that will turn into a drop at this coming Friday's official weigh-in. Sure do like wearing normal bras without wires cutting into the sides of my breasts.
Yesterday was plagued with bad cravings all afternoon. Ate 2 Wasa wafers with soy cheese and 3 pkg chocolate covered sunflower seeds. At least partially compensated by very small dinner and no wine (AF day, yea me!). Extra fat around back and sides must be shrinking too--wore a normal bra all day and underwires didn't hurt the sides of my breasts.

ns 73-74 | Fall 2009/Spring 2010
In May 1959, Paul Engle, in collaboration with Arnold Gingrich and Esquire magazine, brought Dwight Macdonald, Ralph Ellison, Mark Harris, and Norman Mailer to the University of Iowa to participate in a symposium on "The Writer in Mass Culture." In an account of the event, "Eggheads in the Tall Corn," Newsweek magazine labeled these figures "four of the nation's most unyielding highbrows," and on the whole they lived up to their elitist reputation (65). Harris started out with the standard refrain: "most Americans would rather eat than read. They are what we call our 'mass audience.'" He continued unequivocally:
let us no longer quibble over the question of whether our countrymen can receive or appreciate literature of the first rank. The fact is that they cannot. Art and mass distribution are simply incompatible. The writer has no business reaching for a mass audience and the serious reader has no business distracting the writer by discussing with him possible methods of bridging the gulf between the writer and the mass—it cannot be bridged. (3)
let us no longer quibble over the question of whether our countrymen can receive or appreciate literature of the first rank. The fact is that they cannot. Art and mass distribution are simply incompatible. The writer has no business reaching for a mass audience and the serious reader has no business distracting the writer by discussing with him possible methods of bridging the gulf between the writer and the mass—it cannot be bridged. (3)
Macdonald backed him up by stating baldly, "Good writing has always been done for an elite audience and never for everyone" (8). And Mailer, as always, reached for the most misogynist metaphor he could muster, illogically considering his relation to mass culture "as if I were living with a cancerous wife and each day I have to see her all the time and she gives me a bit of her cancer" (15).
Mailer didn't much like Iowa City either, intoning that "the architecture in Iowa is the most dreadful, in this particular city, that I've seen in a long time," and he offered the local airport as an example of how dreadfully "square" the city was:
Take a look at your little airport. When you come off the plane, there is a little square building in kind of a peculiar light orange, brown, yellow color that is all square. It's the most magnificent mounting of squares I've ever seen. It's overhung by a straight roof that weighs down on a square structure. It is sort of doubly square. It's impressive in a kind of a powerful, cold way, for a small building. It's a bad building because it doesn't do your eyes any good. Your eyes don't light up. What I am working toward here is the nature of totalitarianism. (30)

It's impressive in a kind of a powerful, cold way, for a small building. It's a bad building because it doesn't do your eyes any good. Your eyes don't light up. What I am working toward here is the nature of totalitarianism. (30)
Indeed, much of Mailer's contribution to the symposium consisted of diatribes and jeremiads about American totalitarianism, of which the local airport was only one of many examples. Little did Mailer know that his host at that very moment was planning, as he wrote to Virgil Hancher, president of the University of Iowa during the decades when Engle built up the Writers' Workshop from an obscure local experiment to an internationally famous literary center, to "run the future of American literature, and a great deal of European and Asian, through" that square little airport, thereby providing an institutional site which would insulate the writer from mass culture and ensure the maintenance of a literary elite for the rest of the century and beyond. And this institutional site would become the model, and initially the key personnel resource, for the remarkably rapid proliferation of writing programs across the country in the fifties and sixties. Indeed, it is difficult to think of a reputable postwar novelist, and nigh impossible to come up with a respected postwar poet, who did not spend some time, if not an entire career, affiliated with an MFA program, usually one started by an Iowa graduate; and, of course, a visit to Iowa City has become a standard line on the CV of any writer of any literary standing anywhere in the world.
Mark McGurl has recently designated this period "The Program Era." In McGurl's recounting, Engle plays only a bit part, but his story has been told before, most notably in Stephen Wilbers' rarely read The Iowa Writers' Workshop and in D. G. Myers' recently reprinted The Elephants Teach: Creative Writing Since 1880, on whose cover Engle's photo appears. Essentially, these scholars follow Engle's own interpretation of his achievements as part of an effort to establish the American university as a patron of the arts. Thus Wilbers concludes his study by affirming that creative writing programs have become "an important form of patronage" (134), while Myers opens with the claim that "creative writing seems to give every appearance of being an interlocking coast-to-coast system of patronage" (5). Useful as both of these histories are, they don't provide a sociological account of what Paul Engle achieved, beyond his own shorthand. Here I offer a broader sociological frame within which to understand his remarkable achievement.
The Prophet
Paul Engle's literary career received its auspicious inauguration on the front page of the New York Times Book Review on July 29, 1934, with a review of his unabashedly patriotic poetry collection American Song. Conceding that first books of poetry are rarely granted such prominent placement, J. Donald Adams proclaims that "if American Song does not prove in the long run to become something of a literary landmark, this review may be set down as an unfortunate venture in prophecy" (1). Adams' prophetic venture was indeed unfortunate—"American Song" figures in no one's literary history of the thirties—but, in one of those lovely ironies of history, it would be as a prophet, not as a poet, that Engle would establish himself. And Engle's vision was less poetic than it was bureaucratic.
Bureaucrats tend to play minor roles in cultural history. One reason for the critical neglect of Engle has been captured by James English, in The Economy of Prestige, who notes how little attention has been paid to "the strictly functional middle space between acts of inspired creation on the one hand and acts of brilliantly discerning consumption on the other" (13). Engle prided himself on being of the middle—the Middle West, the middle class, the middlebrow. Indeed, it was with this combination of regional and social sensibility that he entitled his anthology of Workshop literature Midland, the introduction to which would open with the triumphant sentence "This book is the result of a vision." A crucial part of this vision was that "there must be an alternative between Hollywood and New York, between these places psychically as well as geographically" (xxi, xxv).
Engle can be situated in the middle in a broader historical sense as a "vanishing mediator," who, in Fredric Jameson's terms, "serves as a bearer of change and social transformation, only to be forgotten once that change has ratified the reality of institutions" (26). Jameson uses this term to explain Max Weber's theory of the "routinization of charisma," that process whereby the initially revolutionary charismatic message of the prophetic leader "becomes part of the established social structure" (Weber 1139). Weber's key examples are the originators of institutionalized religions. For Jameson, the theory provides a way of narrating the process of institutionalization, whereby pre-modern forms of mystical communion and spiritual practice become integrated into modern bureaucratic life. It explains how Martin Luther and John Calvin, the great prophets of Protestantism, indeed Protestantism itself, served "as a kind of mediation between the traditional medieval world from which it emerged and the modern secularized one that it in its turn prepared" (Jameson 23).
Engle's story suggests a certain Protestant sensibility. According to his CV, he "had intended studying for the ministry (Methodist), preached at Stumptown church on edge of town. Heard no call." Engle would sublimate his Protestant sensibilities into poetry, not only in terms of the nigh evangelical patriotism of much of his poetic output but also more explicitly in Poems in Praise (1959), Golden Child: A Christmas Opera (1960), and An Old Fashioned Christmas (1964). But Engle's piety was a key reason his poetry didn't jibe with the more austere and cheerless aesthetic of his modernist contemporaries. His calling would be less in poetry than in bureaucracy, as he positioned himself as a visionary vanguard for the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
Weber borrows the concept of charisma "from the vocabulary of early Christianity" (216), and he defines it as "a certain quality of an individual personality by virtue of which he is considered extraordinary and treated as endowed with supernatural, superhuman, or at least specifically exceptional powers or qualities" (241). That Engle was a charismatic individual is affirmed by the reports of his friends and enemies alike, but his unique gift, it would seem, was his ability to recognize the giftedness of others. Indeed, Weber's definition of charisma is remarkably similar to Engle's definition of "talent," that quality whereby applicants to the Writers' Workshop were and are selected. As Engle writes in his preface to Midland: "We do not pretend to have produced the writers included in this book. Their talent was inevitably shaped by the genes rattling in ancestral closets. We did give them a community in which to try out the quality of their gift" (xxx). The prevailing and paradoxical assumption of the writing workshop remains that writing cannot be taught, but talent can be nurtured, as, according to Weber, "charisma can only be 'awakened' and 'tested,' but it cannot be 'learned' or 'taught'" (249).
Weber further claims that "an organized group subject to charismatic authority will be called a charismatic community" (243). And many of the qualities that Weber designates as particular to the charismatic community apply to the Writers' Workshop in the early years of Engle's leadership, before it was fully integrated into the University system. When Weber specifies that "the followers share in the use of those goods which the authoritarian leader receives as donation, booty or endowment and which he distributes among them without accounting or contractual fixation" (119), we see with almost uncanny accuracy the manner whereby Engle ran the early Workshop out of his back pocket, leveraging donations from local corporate sponsors such as Quaker Oats and Amana Refrigeration into scholarships which he distributed purely on his own authority. As W. D. Snodgrass, the first Workshop graduate to win a Pulitzer Prize for poetry, reminisces in his essay for Robert Dana's memorial anthology, A Community of Writers: Paul Engle and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, Engle "held the purse strings for graduate students" and it "was normal to be invited to his country house, a rundown estate in Stone city, for a party—then be asked to cut down some small trees on the grounds, to mow the lawn, to do other menial tasks" (123).
Weber notes that "in its pure form charismatic authority may be said to exist only in statu nascendi. It cannot remain stable, but becomes either traditionalized or rationalized, or a combination of both" (246). It must, in other words, become routinized if it is to last beyond the lifetime of the charismatic leader. I would offer the remarkable proliferation of writing programs in the postwar United States as the routinization of Paul Engle's initial charismatic leadership of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. However, as I hope to show, the continuing investment of creative writing in the idea of charismatic authority is the primary reason for its perennially unstable and frequently fractious relation to English departments.
The Magician
Engle's own poetry was resolutely middlebrow, and he achieved little recognition for his advocacy of the study of modern literature, but his sense of the literary vocation was resolutely modernist. He was a member the generation of poet-scholars—from T. S. Eliot to Robert Penn Warren—who helped inaugurate the New Criticism as the critical methodology accommodating their poetic innovations to academic study. In fact, Engle complained about Wilbers' failure to credit him with this other curricular innovation. Defensively, he asked the University of Iowa Press editorial board to insert the following into Wilbers' text: "He introduced, and himself taught—the first course in Contemporary Literature on the campus; the first Seminars in such major individual writers as James Joyce, W. B. Yeats, Proust etc." Engle's passionate endorsement of the Workshop is related to his insistence on the academic study of modern literary innovators.
One of these was Charles Baudelaire, whose role in Engle's prophetic vision can be seen as the magician "whose personal prestige amounts to a claim to a purely individual revelation" (Jameson 15). In Jameson's reading of Weber, the prophet is responsible for institutionalizing the charisma of the solitary magician. Two years before he convened the symposium on "The Writer in Mass Culture," Engle organized a one-day centennial celebration of the publication of Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal, the proceedings of which were published as a supplement to the first issue of The Texas Quarterly. The volume features a foreword by Henri Peyre, Sterling Professor of French at Yale University, who opens with a ringing note of American Century triumphalism: "More and more in this second half of our century, American culture is becoming the worthiest inheritor of what is undying in the thought and the art of Europe" (ix). He further affirms that this inheritance is principally due to the massive expansion of the postwar American university, claiming with satisfaction that "it is fitting that those critical essays should appear in print in a new journal, under the auspices of one of the most vigorous universities in the country" (x). And he favorably quotes Baudelaire's definition of art as "a suggestive magic, containing at one and the same time the object and the subject, the world exterior to the artist and the artist himself" (x). Engle's opening essay also cites Baudelaire's equation of art and magic, producing in facsimile the poet's dedication page of Les Fleurs du Mal, which addresses Theophile Gautier as "the perfect magician" (10). As a species of modern magic, poetry refuses to accept the disenchantment of the world; as a modern magician, the lyric poet would become the charismatic figure who offered a visionary alternative to enlightenment rationalism. Baudelaire's role in literary history is like the magician's role in religious history, a figure whose creative power resists institutional power.
Engle concludes his introduction with a recreation of Baudelaire's ill-attended funeral, noting that the "Societé of Gens de Lettres sent no representative" (10). In other words, Engle emphasizes the modern tragedy of unrecognized talent while offering his own celebration of Baudelaire as the charismatic leader of the community of modern artists as redressing it. It would be Engle's audacity to transport this community to Iowa City. As he affirms in the introduction to the commemorative volume of poetry that he issued in conjunction with the celebration, Homage to Baudelaire: On the Centennial of Les Fleurs du Mal From the Poets at the State University of Iowa, "harassed by scared critics, by frantic landladies and by the government of France itself, Baudelaire never had a community where he felt at home. It is right that a community of poets in the middle of America, finding their vision in the long landscape between New York and Hollywood, should praise that great and melancholy man" (5). Engle's own contribution to the anthology was entitled "The Burial of Baudelaire," in which he again notes that the "Societe des Gens des Lettres/Sent no dry member for that wet/Funeral, to mitigate/Respectability's scared hate."
Malcolm Bradbury has called the creative writing program "a campus version of bohemia" (7). Insofar as Baudelaire embodied the countercultural charisma of the modern artist, Engle's appropriation of him supports this equation. As the flaneur, the proto-bohemian who is in but not of the urban crowd, Baudelaire's charisma would inform the many cult-like avant-garde communities who opposed the triumphant bourgeoisie. Baudelaire was a model for the literary leaders of these communities from Stephane Mallarmé to André Breton to Phillippe Sollers, as well as the manic-depressive and dipsomaniacal personas of visiting Workshop poets such as Robert Lowell, John Berryman, and Dylan Thomas.
The coastal coordinates between which Engle focused his vision of the middle were the traditional locations of America's home-grown bohemian communities, which, in Engle's day, were occupied by the Beats, who were a recurring reference at the Mass Culture symposium. Macdonald called them "a kind of parody of the old avant-garde" (12), and Mailer agreed that they constituted "the only elite of any sort" that remained in the United States (14). A more oblique reference to the Beats would come in Engle's opening remarks on the second day of the symposium: "I should like to say in introducing these people this afternoon that one thing which really bugs me about these cats is—here we are talking about the problem of the artist in an age of mass culture in the midst of an enormous amount of discussion by the mass culture media of the problem of living in a mass culture" (25). Ralph Ellison couldn't help but comment: "I noticed Paul Engle using a language which I first knew as a little boy hanging around the big boy jazz musicians. It's current. It has become part of our dictionary. It adds a certain nuance of meaning—we're all cats. I suppose we are all a bit beat, but we certainly aren't beat because times are hard" (27). Ellison's semi-ironic remark shows how the bohemian ethos was infiltrating the affluent mainstream through the very mass culture that was being so roundly maligned in the symposium itself.
The next speaker, Mark Harris, affirmed the degree to which academia, and specifically creative writing, was enabling this accommodation. Harris opened with: "I'm very nervous right now. First of all I didn't get to bed until about 7 o'clock this morning and I got up very soon after. Then I took some pills and I'm feeling better...When we left here around 11 o'clock last night we went over to the house of the Justices and then the symposium really started" (35). Harris then asserts: "I am an academic man, but I am a beat academic, and we are all beat academics" (36). The term aptly describes the community of writers that Engle first envisioned and then achieved. As Engle himself affirmed in a letter addressed only to "Lewis": "The university is the Greenwich Village of the twenties diffused across the country, made more orderly, more efficient."
The Monk
Charismatic leadership is only one element of the prophet's role; his other function, at least in the Protestant context, involves liberating rationalization itself from its confinement to monastic life. For Weber, the medieval monastery represented "an enclave of rationalization within a tradition-oriented world," and it would be Martin Luther who would liberate "the nascent rationalism of monasteries, which are now able to spread to all domains of life" (Jameson 24). As Jameson reminds us, the key achievement of Protestantism was to make the ascetic discipline of the monk available to all true Christians; the resulting Protestant Ethic became central to the spirit of capitalism. However, "once Protestantism has accomplished the task of allowing a rationalization of innerwordly life to take place, it has no further reason for being and disappears from the historical scene" (25). Hence Protestantism acts as a vanishing mediator between medieval monasticism and modern capitalism.
Engle's monk is Gustave Flaubert, the disciplined ascetic artist par excellence. Flaubert figures centrally in Engle's two important edited volumes from the sixties, Midland and On Creative Writing, a collection of essays on the vexed topic of teaching writing. In the introduction to Midland, Engle cites Flaubert as the signal example of writerly discipline, the author who knew that "it is not the intensity of emotion in the writer that matters, but the intensity of the shaped language" (xxiv), the author who insists on "an objective stare at the subjective scene" (xxv). If Baudelaire represents the irrational forces of charismatic talent, Flaubert here represents the rational discipline necessary to craft inspiration into art.
Unlike talent, craft can be taught. Flaubert serves as a signal example of craft in Engle's introduction to On Creative Writing, billed on the title page as "significant, practical advice to help the writer learn the demands of his craft and develop his talent." Engle explicitly invokes Flaubert's monastic discipline:
All those writers who have commented on their craft agree that a work of art is work. How could the joining of passion and idea in slippery ideas be anything but labor? That first really modern novel, Madame Bovary, was composed by Gustave Flaubert with the deliberation of a medieval monk cutting the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. (12)
All those writers who have commented on their craft agree that a work of art is work. How could the joining of passion and idea in slippery ideas be anything but labor? That first really modern novel, Madame Bovary, was composed by Gustave Flaubert with the deliberation of a medieval monk cutting the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. (12)
Flaubert proves that writing is hard work, and this axiom would compensate for the unteachability of talent. It would also provide a counterweight to the Baudelairian bohemianism that would risk making the Workshop look like one long subsidized bar crawl. Indeed, if visiting figures like Lowell and Berryman represented the cult of charisma—those who offered, in Robert Frost's memorable phrase, "education by presence"—permanent staffers like R. V. Cassill and Donald Justice, authors of the chapters on short fiction and poetry for Engle's anthology, would come to represent the consummate craftsmen, teachers of technique far more easily accommodated to institutional life (qtd. in Myers 97). The concepts of discipline and craft provide a teachable element as well as a work ethic to temper the leisurely lifestyle of the bohemian community.1 Indeed, it is from this element of writerly craft that the term workshop derives.
If the bohemian community provided a social support structure for the solitary artist, the American university would provide the institutional support. Engle dedicates Midland to "the State University of Iowa," praising it as a "patron" of the creative arts (xxi). But Engle's vision was even wider and broader than this, as he affirmed in his dedication to On Creative Writing, which opens, "One of the powerful themes of literature in the twentieth century has been the alienation of the writer from his times and his country because he felt he had no home there." And he dedicates the book "to a heartening variety of individuals, foundations, and corporations who have refused to believe that this must be true. In recent years they have given funds to the Program in Creative Writing at the University of Iowa, so that young writers from all regions of the USA and many areas of the earth could come here and make an international community of the imagination." Engle, in other words, presciently envisioned the postwar university as a home for the modern writer that would end the very alienation that had constituted his modernity.
The Priests
In the Weberian schema, the ultimate result of the successful routinization of charisma is the establishment of a priesthood, a rationally organized bureaucracy of functionaries whose authority inheres in their appropriation of the prophet's original charisma. For Paul Engle, and for creative writing more generally, there was a crucial obstacle to this trajectory: there was already a priesthood in place. The Writers' Workshop had developed as a unit within the English Department, but Engle had expanded it into a semi-autonomous fiefdom, housed in a set of temporary huts significantly known as the "barracks," funded by his expanding network of corporations and foundations, and answerable only to his own autocratic authority. Engle's entrepreneurial energies earned him enemies. As John Gerber, who took over as chair of the department in 1960, reports, "He was not popular among all his colleagues, for he irritated many of the scholars in the department because of his promotion of the Workshop—and of himself—almost to the point where the department seemed little more than an appendage to the Workshop" (103).
Weber notes that "routinization is not free of conflict" (252), and that, in transitioning from a charismatic community to a traditional or bureaucratic institution, "the first basic problem is that of finding a successor to the prophet, hero, teacher or party leader" (1123). By the early sixties, the Workshop needed a successor to Paul Engle. He was increasingly preoccupied with responsibilities beyond Iowa City, lecturing around the world and becoming involved in Kennedy's Cold War Cultural Front. As he noted on his CV, he was now the "only poet on The National Council on the Arts" and the "American specialist for the Department of State." Engle was spending more time hobnobbing with the best and the brightest in New York and Washington, DC, than he was running the Workshop in Iowa City. The Workshop itself was growing to such a size that he no longer had the time, or the staff, to administer it effectively. Not surprisingly, there was no mechanism in place for appointing a replacement for what was, as Engle himself conceded in a letter to Virgil Hancher, "an honorary and chance title," nor was there any obvious candidate who was willing and able to take over the numerous responsibilities Engle had semi-officially appropriated to himself over the years. The more prestigious figures in the program, Donald Justice and Verlin Cassill, were understandably reluctant to deflect their attention from creative and pedagogical endeavors to administrative responsibilities, but they were equally leery of submitting to the leadership of someone less prestigious than themselves.
"The Battle between the Hut and the Hill," as it came to be known, "pitted Engle against every other full-time professor in the English Department," and resulted in the eventual departure of both Justice and Cassill, as well as Engle's resignation from the directorship (Wilbers 109). The battle involved not only the problem of succession, but also the authority to hire, fire, and promote which constitutes the ultimate prerogative of bureaucratic legitimacy. Engle had regularly struggled against the English Department's established personnel practices, taking it upon himself to hire and fire creative writing instructors as he saw fit, and affirming in a letter to Wilbers that "too many faculty members look at teaching as a priesthood, from which one cannot be terminated save for the grossest (and public) moral scandal" (qtd. in Wilbers 89).
Thus it is not surprising that Engle, along with Verlin Cassill, took exception to Chairman John Gerber's promotion of the relatively unknown writer Robert Williams to associate professor in response to a counter-offer from California State University. Engle claimed he had not been informed of the promotion, and the resulting series of struggles over salary and status brought the longstanding resentments against Engle amongst the Department faculty into the open. In a letter to Gerber written after an obviously tense meeting about the affair, Engle writes, "I have never entered a room so crowded with dislike, distrust and hostility as that conference room when I listened for two hours to the accusations of the Professors about my credibility, my honesty and, even, my mental stability." The priests resented the presence of a prophet in their midst, and their entrenched institutional power trumped his charismatic authority. Paul Engle subsequently resigned as director of the Iowa Writers' Workshop.
Engle landed on his feet, exploiting his connections in the State Department and the Rockefeller Foundation to start the International Writing Program. This was in many ways the perfect move, as it enabled him to expand his duties as a cultural entrepreneur without having to get bogged down in pedagogic and administrative functioning at the departmental level. For the rest of his career he would be something of an ambassador without portfolio, leveraging his charisma on a wider stage and achieving his dream of making Iowa City a central hub in the migratory circuits of World Literature.
The Iowa Writers' Workshop, after a brief period of uncertainty, continued to thrive and build on its reputation. Indeed, it would continue to be the model, and key personnel resource, for the rapid and inexorable expansion of creative writing programs—what Donald Justice would call "a kind of pyramid scheme"—across the country and, increasingly, the globe (qtd. in Myers 164). But the controversy of the mid-sixties, I believe, remains emblematic of the uneasy institutional relationship between English departments and creative writing programs. Literary studies, for all its political, methodological, and demographic transformations over the past decades, remains a creature of its institutional habits, comfortable with the protocols and credentialing procedures sustaining English departments at the curricular center of the liberal arts education. Creative writing, on the other hand, maintains a firmer allegiance to the anti-institutional ethos of both the bohemian and the monastic lifestyles, and therefore, in the vast majority of academic configurations, it remains ancillary to the larger department on whose resources it continues to depend.

Jesus said that a prophet is not without honor except in his own country. The only event dedicated to Engle's memory in Iowa City is the International Writing Program's Paul Engle Memorial Reading, which has been held on his birthday every year since 2000, when then Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack established the date as "Paul Engle Day." His only recognition, then, is from the most recent generation of international writers for whom Iowa City became a gateway to the United States. Otherwise, it is hard to find evidence in Iowa City of Paul Engle's time here. There is no street, building, chair, or scholarship named for him. Few Workshop graduates know anything about him, and none read his poetry. Yet few visions have been more effectively and exactly realized than Paul Engle's. Iowa City is a spectacularly literary town. The streets are literally lined with literature, as all the sidewalks downtown are inscribed with quotations from authors of note. There are readings almost every night at Prairie Lights, the local independent bookstore, by writers and poets both famous and obscure. In addition to the Writers' Workshop and the International Writing Program, the University features a Nonfiction Writing Program, a Translation Workshop, a Playwrights Workshop, and a Summer Writing Festival. Indeed, there is probably a higher concentration of writers—aspiring, successful, and failed—in Iowa City than anywhere on earth. And now the University of Iowa has sought to brand itself as the "Writing University," ratifying the degree to which Engle's vision accommodates art and commerce in ways that were unimaginable to the participants in "The Writer in Mass Culture" conference. The University can insulate creative writers from any direct dependence on the literary marketplace while simultaneously using their charisma as a marketing strategy. Engle's vision, in other words, has become the informing structure of the contemporary literary field.
1. McGurl affirms that this disciplinary element would be crucial in accommodating the workshop form to the protocols of the academic career structure: "While the existence of degree-granting entities like the Workshop was owed, in part, to a new hospitality to self-expression on the part of universities willing to expand the boundaries of what could count as legitimate academic work, the founders and promoters of these programs more than met the institution halfway, rationalizing their presence in a scholarly environment by asserting their own disciplinary rigor" (531).

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Robert Andino went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored, as the Baltimore Orioles handled the Chicago White Sox, 6-2, in the second test of a four-game series.
Vladimir Guerrero drove in two runs for the Orioles, who won, 10-4, in the series opener on Friday. Luke Scott had an RBI.
Chris Tillman (1-2) gave up one run on six hits over five-plus innings to pick up his first win of the season for Baltimore.
"There's a lot of things I need to get better on," Tillman said. "I threw strikes with my offspeed pitches. I felt like I should have gone [offspeed] a little more tonight."
Alex Rios hit a solo homer and drove in two runs for the White Sox, who set a franchise record with 18 losses in the month of April (10-18). The previous mark was held by the 1997 club (8-17).
Phil Humber (2-3) allowed two runs on three hits over a seven-inning start to take the hard-luck loss. He also struck out five and walked one for Chicago, which has lost six in a row at home.
The White Sox, who have lost four straight, played without manager Ozzie Guillen for a second straight game. Guillen served the second of a two-game suspension for his actions during Wednesday's game against the New York Yankees.
The Orioles got on the board in the first inning. Brian Roberts led off with a double and later scored on a wild pitch.
Andino led off the third with his first homer of the season for a 2-0 Baltimore lead.
"I wish I could take one pitch back," Humber said. "Andino hit kind of a hanging fastball there. Other than that, I think I threw the ball pretty good."
The White Sox put men on first and third with two outs in the home third, but Carlos Quentin popped out.
Chicago finally got to Tillman in the sixth. Alexei Ramirez and Quentin hit consecutive singles before Paul Konerko walked to load the bases. Mike Gonzalez came in from the bullpen and struck out Adam Dunn. Rios followed with a sacrifice fly to center. Ramirez scored on the play because catcher Jake Fox dropped the ball. A.J. Pierzynski went down swinging to keep it 2-1.
The Orioles broke the game open with a four-run eighth. Matt Thornton started the inning on the mound. Andino singled and stole second. Roberts struck out, but made it to first on a passed ball. On the play, Andino crossed the plate on catcher Pierzynski's throwing error. Nick Markakis singled and Derrek Lee walked to load the bases. Guerrero's two-run single and Scott's sac fly chased Thornton from the game. Jeff Gray got the White Sox out of the inning, but not before Baltimore took a 6-1 margin.
Rios hit a solo homer to left in the ninth off Koji Uehara to account for the final margin.
