A few people have sent emails recently wondering if I'm still alive, because I hadn't updated this site in a few days. To calm your souls and ease your minds, I thought I'd let everybody know that yes, indeed, I am still haunting this earth.
Blogging is going to continue to be light for the next few weeks, I expect, because I have returned to work part-time from my sabbatical and am still a full-time graduate student at Dartmouth. Because of some sudden, unexpected staffing changes at the school where I work, I have been promoted to be the Director of Performing Arts, which means I get to oversee all of our theatre, film, music, and dance programs. Exciting, but also daunting, and time-consuming. Once I get some things taken care of, my schedule will be lighter, and I'll have time not only to write, but also to read again, and so things will pick up around here and become, I hope, less sporadic.
In the meantime, I just finished reading Douglas Lain's Last Week's Apocalypse, which I'm reviewing for Strange Horizons (providing they accept what I end up writing), so I won't say much here except that though I have some reservations about the book as a whole, they are reservations that caused me to compare the collection to things by Samuel Beckett and Don DeLillo, which I hope makes them the sort of reservations that cause people to be so intrigued that they go out and buy multiple copies of the book, because there are some real masterpieces in it, and the things that frustrated me about the collection as a whole were things that came from so many of the stories being thought-provoking, immensely well written, innovative, and challenging. (Time to go finish writing that review...)
Speaking of reviews, Matt Peckham just said he liked my review in the January issue of Z Magazine, a review of Bread and Roses : Mills, Migrants, and the Struggle for the American Dream by Bruce Watson. I had been meaning to email Z to see if they wanted the review I had submitted, and I was pleased to know that, apparently, they did. It would have been nice to hear it from them, but these things happen. I usually buy Z at a bookstore, so I haven't seen the new issue yet, but I'm happy to appear there, because it's a magazine I've been reading off and on since I was in high school, when, because the politics of the magazine tend to be pretty radical, I hid the issues I had and read them furtively, as if they were pornography. In a few months, the contents of the issue will be available online to nonsubscribers, and I'll link to it then.
In his note to me, Matt let me know that he's revamped mattpeckham.com into TheoryLog, which is devoted primarily to sequential art and theory. (Hey Matt, do you know Derik? Matt, Derik; Derik, Matt.)
Lots of things are happening at the LitBlog Co-op these days. All of the nominees have been named, and this week begins a discussion of one of them, Other Electricities by Ander Monson, a book I liked quite a bit. It's strange and affecting, beautifully written, and full of weather. Three of the nominees this quarter were ones I very much enjoyed reading -- Garner (the actual pick), Other Electricities, and Divided Kingdom by Rupert Thomson. (Since you're curious -- you know you are -- the other two didn't do much for me. I was indifferent to one of them and quite vehemently loathed the other.) In many ways, I thought Divided Kingdom was the best book of the lot, and certainly the one that grabbed and held my imagination the strongest, but I also thought that it has gotten a lot more attention than the other books, so I didn't think, given such strong company, it would have been the best book for us to choose as this quarter's pick. But you'll see it featured prominently on my Best of the Year list for Locus Online when that is posted. (You'll also see Other Electricities noted in passing. It's not really fantasy or science fiction, except in the loosest of loose senses, but it felt odd and evocative enough that I thought it might interest at least a couple readers of SF. The same is true for Garner, actually.)
Finally, the second issue of Fantasy Magazine will include an interview I just did with Theodora Goss, and I'm particularly pleased with it, because Dora's responses to my occasionally annoying questions about the nature and purpose of fantastical writing are thoughtful and complex. I think the second issue will be published fairly soon, so be sure to subscribe if you haven't already. (Here's the table of contents.)

H&M Home: Finally Launching in the US
It feels like eons ago that we all got excited for H&M Home - we blogged about it starting back in December 2008. Well, fast forward almost three years and we just got the latest scoop on exactly when the home goods collections will be available in the states…
According to this article in ISBN Magazine, the previously online-in-Europe-only home collections (which launched in 2009) will finally become available online for the US market as well this coming Spring, 2012.
The article includes some other interesting tidbits on the home division of the affordable retailer; the Home collection gets updated four times a year and relates its trends to seasonal fashion shifts. 8 designers work on the home goods, compared to 120 in the fashion division.
Taking a peek at the current home items available online at H&M in Great Britain, one can see that they are broken down into specific collections that vary widely in style, color and potential target customer, from Bohemian Vintage and Authentic Autumn (both with interesting components) to Playful Style (LOTS of pink and puppies), with plenty of basics filling out the offerings.
So, after the long wait, what do you think? Anything in the current collections catching your eye? Are you looking forward to H&M Home becoming available here?

Suggestions to change Votto's approach unwarranted
Some people think it would be a good idea for Reds first baseman Joey Votto to make more outs. To get on base less. To help out the opposition. At least, I think that would be the intent. Friends, you can't make this stuff up.
National League pitchers have to love this suggestion. If Votto is going to start getting himself out, their jobs suddenly become easier. How does this nonsense get started anyway? Are some of you bored? I'm as ready for Spring Training as the next guy, but let's not get silly.
Some people think it would be a good idea for Reds first baseman Joey Votto to make more outs. To get on base less. To help out the opposition. At least, I think that would be the intent. Friends, you can't make this stuff up.
National League pitchers have to love this suggestion. If Votto is going to start getting himself out, their jobs suddenly become easier. How does this nonsense get started anyway? Are some of you bored? I'm as ready for Spring Training as the next guy, but let's not get silly.
Here's the bottom line: Joey Votto should NOT change his approach at home plate. To argue otherwise is nuts. He's already one of the NL's 10 best players, so why attempt to fix what's not broken?
Let's review the season that started this discussion among talk-show hosts, bloggers and others in Cincinnati. In 2013, Votto led the NL in on-base percentage for the fourth straight year.
OK, that's a good thing, right? Wrong. Some fans apparently see this as a negative. Votto also led the NL in walks, this for a third straight year. Some don't like this part of his game, either.
Never mind that his name was scattered around the NL leaderboard in almost everything: fifth in runs, sixth in hits, 10th in batting average, 11th in home runs, 11th in slugging and fourth in OPS.
He and D-backs first baseman Paul Goldschmidt were tied for the NL lead in intentional walks with 19. Votto had a .477 on-base percentage with runners in scoring position. He may not have been the NL's best player in 2013, but there was no way to have that discussion without including Votto.
Now about the more sophisticated evaluations. I'll bet those math models expose a weakness in Votto's game. Well, not exactly. He was sixth in the NL in Wins Above Replacement among position players and fourth in offensive WAR, according to baseball-reference.com. Among all players, including pitchers, he was 10th in WAR.
To some, this isn't good enough. They point to the fact that Votto had just 73 RBIs. You and I understand that RBIs are a function of time and place, and that there are far better ways to evaluate a player. Some folks haven't caught up with us.
For instance, OBP and slugging percentage and OPS are very good at revealing offensive value. Votto was first, 11th and fourth in the NL in those three measuring sticks.
In the end, the game is still about not making outs. Some of baseball's smartest organizations pride themselves on finding offensive players with the discipline to grind out long at-bats and to force opposing pitchers to throw more pitches than they'd like.
No hitter in baseball forced pitchers to throw more pitches last season than Votto. He saw 3,033 in all, 18 more than Mike Trout. He led the NL in 2011 as well, finishing right behind Dustin Pedroia and Curtis Granderson among all big league hitters.
Still, because Votto had just the 73 RBIs, some have argued -- and Reds executives have been asked about it several times -- he should expand his strike zone with runners in scoring position. It's not like he's failing in these situations. That .477 OBP with runners in scoring position speaks volumes. Only four NL hitters got on base more frequently in these situations.
The thinking goes that if Votto swings at more pitches out of the strike zone -- in other words, if he gets away from one of the things that makes him so good -- he'll get more RBIs. This advice is about as wrong-headed as it gets. Votto has 3,790 plate appearances in his seven big league seasons. He has done things one way virtually the entire time. This is who he is. He should not be changing now. He's plenty valuable to the Reds NOT making outs.
If he starts swinging at pitches out of the strike zone, he'll hurt the Reds. Rather than going up, his RBI total might go down, although this (again) is a function of time and place.
He'd certainly be on base less, see fewer pitchers, etc. There's lineup chemistry to consider. If Votto becomes a wild swinger, what message does that send to Brandon Phillips and/or Jay Bruce behind him? He's telling them he doesn't trust them, that he believes it's on him to deliver.
It's not on him. It's on all of them. Hitters feed off one another. Bruce and Phillips would be the first to say that hitting behind Votto has been good for them, has given them more opportunities.
It's natural to look for ways to improve the Reds after another quick exit from the postseason. Changing Votto would be the wrong thing to do. He's a joy to watch and is a role model in an assortment of ways. In short, the Reds are lucky to have him, just the way he is.

Ugly Day Gets Even Worse Ahead of the Close
By Steven Russolillo and John Shipman
On the heels of a huge tumble in gold and silver prices, the stock market's slide is steepening in the final trading hour.
Markets were also shaken amid reports of two explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon, which appear to have resulted in injuries.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average recently fell by more than 200 points, on track for one of its worst declines of the year. It seems as if the plunge in precious-metal prices and concurrent drop in a host of other commodities is now having a more intense effect on the psyche of investors in U.S. stocks.
A crash in asset prices, similar to what took place in gold and silver today, doesn't happen in isolation, so it's likely that those taking losses in gold need to sell other stuff to raise cash. Some of that other "stuff" appears to be weighing on U.S. stocks.
All but one of the Dow's 30 components are lower, led by declines in Caterpillar Chevron Exxon Mobil and General Electric. The lone blue-chip component in positive territory is Wal-Mart Stores
Energy, materials and industrials are leading the declines among the S&P 500 sectors.
Small caps and transportation stocks, among the market's top performers for much of 2013, are taking it on the chin on Monday. The Russell 2000 index of small-cap stocks is down 3.7%, while the Dow Jones Transportation Average is off 3.4%.
Gold for April delivery, the front-month contract, ended down 9.4% at $1,360.60 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Since Thursday, gold prices have declined by more than $200 an ounce, a two-day record in dollar terms since gold futures began trading in the U.S. in 1974.

Design issues hamper 6 billion FPGA debut
Keywords:FPGAs? IP? licensing? embedded?
Just enough FPGAs in SoCs
Others in the industry may still regard Achrnoix' entry in the embedded FPGA IP business as a bit of a distraction for the start-up.
There has long been pent-up demand for FPGAs among volume consumer SoC companies making handsets or tablets, Holt argued. Look no further than Altera's family of low-cost, low-power FPGAs for the consumer market. Another example is SiliconBlue Technologies, which was acquired by Lattice Semiconductor, which targeted its low-end FPGAs for consumer electronics devices such as smartphones and media tablets.
The difference here is that Achronix plans to license FPGA fabric as IP so that consumer chip companies can use "just enough FPGAs" in their SoCs, Holt explained.
The reason consumer electronics chip companies are clamoring for FPGA solutions is "risk mitigation," said Holt. "Programmability can limit the number of tape-outs." As the consumer SoC's die gets larger, it's helpful to use part of the die for programmability.
Add to that, standards are constantly evolving for consumer products. "There are things that hardwired SoCs just can't do," Holt noted.
Moreover, FPGAs excel at doing complex logic very fast. "FPGAs are good at flexible acceleration of certain functions" on SoCs, explained Holt.
Achronix plans to announce its first embedded FPGA IP licencee in the first quarter of 2013.
Pointing out that the design cost for 22-/20-nm chips could range from $20 million to $50 million, according to recent cost estimates by Cadence, Holt said SoC companies would have to sell as many as 60 million to 100 million units to break even. Minimising the number of tape-outs becomes extremely important for SoC cost savings, he added.
Still, as long as there are SoC vendors looking to use FPGA fabric in a portion of their SoCs, IP seems like good business for Achronix. The company believes it can leverage the technology it has already developed.
Holt said Intel's "one-stop shop" is a huge advantage when compared to working with other foundries that may require a fabless chip company to work with many partners. More important, being an Intel customer confers credibility and quality assurance, especially among global supply managers. "Sure, we may be paying extra for wafer cost," Holt said. "But think about the high yield rate Intel brings. This is paying off for us."
Holt said Achronix is still planning to go public in 2014, but "it's not like my ego is tied to the IPO." The first thing Achronix must do is "become a profitable company within the 12 to18 months" after it starts sampling new FPGAs.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Wednesday that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor's stunning primary loss Tuesday shows that Republicans' are engaged in a bad political strategy.
"I do think that this outcome does provide some evidence to indicate that the strategy of opposing nearly everything and supporting hardly anything is not just a bad governing strategy, it is not a very good political strategy either," Earnest told reporters traveling with President Obama. "That is why the president has pursued a different approach (and) … has laid out what his priorities are."
Cantor, R-Va., was defeated Tuesday in a barely watched Republican primary by a little-known challenger who hammered Cantor as soft on illegal immigration and other hot button conservative causes. Professor David Brat easily defeated Cantor, who was first elected to the Richmond area House seat in 2000.
Earnest questioned the notion some have that the defeat means that a rewrite of immigration laws is now doomed.
"Majority Leader Cantor campaigned very aggressively against common sense, bipartisan immigration reform but yet in the analysis there are some who suggest that his election was a key to getting immigration reform done," Earnest said. "I am not quite sure how people have reached that conclusion. It is the view of the White House that there is support all across the country for common sense bipartisan immigration reform."

Jump in the Hanukkah Time Machine and Gobble, Gobble Up Those Latkes
November 15, 2013
By Julie Lookatch, Family Engagement & Outreach Coordinator
CLICK HERE FOR FULL EVENT DETAILS - At Passover we say, "Manishtana - How is this night different from all other nights?" This year, for Hanukkah, we are saying, "How is this Hanukkah different from every other Hanukkah we will ever know?" The answer, my friends, is Thanksgivukkah.
This year, we light the first candle of Hanukkah on the night before Thanksgiving. According to the internet sages, these two holidays will not converge again for over 70,000 years.
So our family programming team wondered, "How can we make this year's big JCC Hanukkah Community event something really special, befitting of this once in a lifetime occurrence?"
Back in August, we started by deciding that if this is a truly a community-wide event, we should invite the other Jewish agencies in our community to not just show up at the event and set-up a booth, but to really be a part of the planning of the Hanukkah program. And so we did, and were we ever pleased with the result! Representatives from area synagogues, the Milwaukee Jewish Federation, Jewish preschools and day schools and social action groups have attended meetings for the past three months and helped us revamp the way we have been planning this event.
So what will be new and different?
The date and time. For as long as I can remember, the Hanukkah event has been on a Monday evening. In our discussions, we talked about how this event is one of our community's biggest outreach events of the year. Reaching out to the Jewish community in Milwaukee needs to include reaching beyond the North Shore to families in Bayview, Grafton, Brookfield. Would you want to drive across town on a Monday night from 4-6? So, the idea came about to move the Hanukkah program to Sunday. Now this year, that is a bit of a challenge since it puts us on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, but the committee agreed that this was the best date when considering all of the factors. So, mark your calendars for Sunday, December 1 from 10:30am-1:00pm. Set aside your leftovers and come gobble, gobble up those latkes!
Outreach. We will be reaching out to the Bayview, Brookfield and Mequon communities with PJ Library events and grocery store events in partnership with Roundy's. Anyone who attends one of these events will receive Hanukkah candles as well as a raffle ticket for Laugh It Up Milwaukee tickets that must be turned in at the Hanukkah event on December 1.
- PJ Library Goes to Bayview (Up, Up and Play), Sunday, November 3 at 10:00am
- Toddler Tales & Treats at Metro Market Brookfield-Bluemound, Monday, November 18 at 4:00pm
- Toddler Tales & Treats at Metro Market Mequon, Tuesday, November 19 at 11:00am
The way we run the program. Traditionally, each organization gets a table, and they bring their own project or activity to set-up and do in their space. This year, our committee told us that they would rather see all of us working collaboratively, as a whole community, rather than each on our own. The committee has come up with the activities and projects we want to have that go with our theme, and each organization will supply a certain number of volunteers. So at any given booth, you may see a group of volunteers working it and one is from Congregation Sinai and one is from Tikkun Ha-Ir and one is from MJDS, for example.
The theme. Our committee got very excited about exploring the idea of the History of Hanukkah or Hanukkah through Time so we look forward to presenting our community with the Hanukkah Time Machine! Not only does this theme give us an opportunity to learn more about this holiday, but it gives us an opportunity to mark this very special Thanksgivukkah celebration and honor its place in time. I'm sure you can imagine what some of the time periods might be starting with the time of Judah Maccabbee, where the story began, all the way up to today and beyond – get ready to jump in the bounce house and picture yourself celebrating Hanukkah on the Moon!
What is the same?
Food! – JCC Food Services Director, Jonah Levenberg, and his team will be presenting us with a festive holiday brunch. They will be selling some fun little holiday combos like latkes with applesauce… or cranberry sauce.
Activities, Art, Movement, Music – this will still be a kid-friendly, family friendly fun event with lots of old favorites in addition to some of the new ideas. Everything will just be assigned a time period, like the moon bounce or Maccabee sports or latkes in the shtetl.
So, here are the key things we want you to remember:
NEW DATE: the Sunday after Thanksgiving, December 1, from 10:30am-1:00pm at the JCC
FUN: the event will be filled with crafts, activities, sports, music and food for all ages to enjoy
COMMUNITY: This event is not just the JCC's Hanukkah Celebration, it is the community's Hanukkah celebration and we are very excited to be the hosts of this incredible collaboration.

Washington (CNN) -- The first officer aboard Asiana Flight 214 told investigators that he called out the plane's excessive sink rate -- its rate of descent -- "more than four times" in the two minutes before the plane crashed, according to information released by the National Transportation Safety Board on Wednesday as it began a marathon 11-hour hearing into the July accident in San Francisco, which killed two Chinese teenagers.
First Officer Bong Dongwon -- who was sitting in a jump seat behind Capt. Lee Kang Kuk, a trainee, and instructor Lee Jungmin -- said the plane was making a steeper descent than the allowable 1,000 feet per minute, so he alerted the pilots, calling out the sink rate.
But he did not say anything more because they appeared to be correcting the sink rate, Bong told investigators.
"Since Bong advised of high sink rate several times, he was monitoring sink rate and saw that it was decreasing, '1,500, 1,400, going up,'" a summary of the interview says. "When he recognized this correction was going on, and after passing 500 feet, seeing the vertical speed was less than 1,000 (feet per minute), he decided not to advise anything."
Aircraft normally must have a stabilized approach at 1,000 feet of altitude before landing, but the interviews suggest the plane's speed and sink rate were both incorrect as it passed through critical points of its descent.
The NTSB is focusing on what it says may have been the pilot's overreliance on autopilot and other automation on the sophisticated Boeing 777 aircraft.
Investigators asked the three-pilot crew about their understanding of auto-thrust, which controls the plane's power. The NTSB has previously said the pilots believed the auto-thrust was engaged, but it was not.
The plane's speed, which was at 170 knots just 73 seconds before impact, dropped below the target speed of 137 knots at roughly 38 seconds before impact, and plummeted as low as 103 knots just seconds before the plane's front landing gear and tail struck the seawall near the runway at San Francisco International Airport.
Information released at the opening of Wednesday's hearing also shows that investigators are concerned about the role Korean and airline culture played in the crash.
Bong said the crew practiced "cockpit resource management," training that encourages subordinates to speak up about safety concerns to other crew members, despite their senior rank, experience or seniority. But when the student captain was asked whether he had contemplated an aborted landing as the plane descended, Lee Kang Kuk said it was a "very hard" decision to make, given the deference shown in Korean culture.
By the time he pushed the throttle forward, just seconds before impact, he discovered the instructor pilot had already done so.
Culture also kept the pilot flying from wearing sunglasses, the interviews suggest. That was a factor momentarily when the student captain saw a flash of light as the plane descended through 500 feet.
"Asked whether he wore sunglasses in the cockpit he said no, because it would have been considered impolite for him to wear them when he was flying with his PM. He said it was very important in their culture," the NTSB report says.
The NTSB has said the pilot did not believe the flash of light was a factor in the crash, saying it was momentary and that the pilot was still able to see the controls.
