Technology is often scorned as bringing about The Judgment Day for literature. Malevolent kindles destroy the sacred tradition of holding a physical work in your hands and make it even harder for writers to earn a living through their art. But YouTube may just be the saving grace of poetry – a form which, let's be honest, is read by fewer and fewer outside of elite academic circles. Outside of Uni, I don't know anyone who reads poetry for fun. But YouTube, with its inane intimacies of celebrity life and adverts selling us ideals, has allowed for an explosion of creativity, a democratization of performance. Now, anyone can pick up a camera and start telling you all about themselves. YouTube allows spoken word to flourish.
As a genre, Spoken Word is unlike any other literary type. It is disinterested in the material object which so many of us (myself included) fetishize.
It's all about the words, how loudly those words can be arranged to make the biggest impact. It's highly personal, relying on the relation between audience and poet. And now, thanks to YouTube, poets are not only holed up in quirky London clubs. Videos allow them to broadcast their rhymes all over the world. Spoken Word, as a genre, is remarkably practical, if poetry can ever be practical. It cares about issues. Often, but not exclusively, it wants to make the world a better place. It doesn't worry about didacticism at the expense of the aesthetic – passion is powerful, it becomes aesthetic.
The idea isn't really new. Writing in 1798, Wordsworth teamed up with bestie Coleridge to write a new type of poem – poems which spoke in the voice of the common man, which spoke of the poverty and suffering the most vulnerable in society faced. Wordsworth wrote about impoverished children, desperate mothers, the homeless. And following this tradition, this naïve but vital belief that literature can make a change, are Spoken Word poets all over YouTube, writing about sexual violence.
In 'Rape only happens to girls who ask for it' HeyitsRachel speaks almost tearfully, frowning as she fractures stereotypes about sexual assault. Her video is followed by a slide of shocking statistics. These videos are aiming for shock factor – because their value rests on the idealistic but important belief that we all desperately wish were true, that enough exposure to a problem will force society to deal with it. The most alarming thing about many of these videos were some of the comments, and how many testimonies of assault, rape and abuse are shared there. The responses are often far from sympathetic. One man writes that of course rape is a terrible shame, but women need to be more careful about how they dress and where they're walking at night. 'Only fat chicks bitch about rape' one commenter declares. This trolling can be dismissed as the strange nastiness of a minority of individuals, but it is also undeniable evidence about why we need poetry that talks about these issues. Because people still don't talk them seriously. Even if in victim-blaming is shunned in certain social circles, it is widely acceptable in others. In her individualised portraits of victims, Rachel's poem provokes debate. The comments section becomes an ideological battleground between different ideas about how we treat victims, about the roles of men and women in society. Spite and nastiness abounds, but it also serves as testimony to the necessity of poetry that challenges the way we think, the way we judge others.
Can poetry ever really make a difference?
In 'Rape Poem to End all Rape Poems' four girls chorus a 'WARNING' to their audience. 'Time for another rape poem. Didn't I just hear like three of these? Yeah, you probably did.' They shout, with visible emotion. 'We wouldn't need so many damn rape poems if America had listened the first time!' There is vigorous applause. Poetry, whatever the issue, does not result in anything tangible. How can we quantify exposure of issues, increased awareness, or even solidarity for victims? Poetry might not give us the quantifiable effects of policy making. But it does accomplish something; a momentary disruption in the way we look at ourselves, each other; a traffic-light pause to look at the world around us. This might not be life-changing – but it is, at least, something.

As U.S. Unemployment Rate Falls, Inflation Stays Shy, Businesses Cope
How low can the jobless rate go?
January's drop to 4%, for the first time since 1970, has increased fears that low unemployment will spark inflation and crimp economic growth. Alan Greenspan is clearly worried, and Friday's report boosts the odds that the Federal Reserve chairman will push through more interest-rate increases in the months ahead.

(This story has been ongoing and today it was announced that Lewandowski will not be indicted)
The Anti-Trump camp have become increasingly desperate as the Trump Train chugs on.
A Breitbart reporter, one of my favorite news outlets, has fabricated a story for her personal benefit. It's incredibly fascinating to see how people have responded to this smelly load of horseshit, if I may be so crude. Because that's exactly what we're dealing with. Let's establish the facts.
Michelle Fields was at a press conference this past Tuesday evening, March 8th 2016. She wanted to ask Trump a question about him changing his stance on affirmative action. Fields stated she believes Trump wanted to avoid this "difficult" question, even though he has always easily defended his reasons for changing his positions.
Here is a picture from that very event, taken by the Washington Post's Jabin Botsford (he'll be back later). On Trump's right, you have Michelle Fields. On his left, his campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. This picture only came out within the last 24 hours, which is important to note (well after the event and initial drama).
Fields claimed that as Trump walked by her, ignoring her question, his campaign manager, Lewandowski, grabbed her by the arm, and "yanked her towards the ground." I didn't feel like saving all the links I reviewed, but on Tuesday, the reports were all over the place.
Update: Michelle Fields was told to stop grabbing at Mr. Trump by secret service twice before Lewandowski intervened. It seems she knew exactly how to begin escalating the situation.
Some articles made it sound like she hit the ground, others said he grabbed her shoulder. The details did not match up, and I remember Field's actual account sounding much tamer than how most of the media were portraying it. This should give you a good idea of how clear-headed people are when they report on stuff like this. (Hint: not at all)
Fields had a witness: A Washington Post journalist who I don't even feel like giving credit to, because I don't believe in giving him more publicity for this. Other media soon began referring to this as proof, as well as audio of the event. After only reading a transcript of it, it's quite clear that the media grossly exaggerated how shocked Fields was after the alleged assault. She sounds quite calm to me, relative to the impressions other outlets gave me. Go give it a listen, and tell me if that's enough evidence to claim someone assaulted you in a room full of cameras.
Because most rational people require a bit more evidence, Fields posted a picture of her bruised arm on Twitter.
Whether or not this is just make-up on her forearm, let's continue on this assumption: Fields had her arm grabbed. A bruise appeared on it. Normally when you get assaulted, you go to the police… but Fields, like any good Anti-Trump pundit, went straight to the media.
She accused, backed by a witness account from said unnamed Washington Post journalist, Lewandowski of grabbing her arm, and "yanking her towards the ground."
Now pause.
This will be Zaprudered, but you can see @MichelleFields get pulled downward as the camera moves her out of frame: https://t.co/twmS43veCL
— Mike Warren (@MichaelRWarren) March 11, 2016
Take a look at this footage. Although it's very unclear what happens to Fields, what is VERY clear is that everyone was holding a cellphone and pointing it at Trump. This is what I want to harp on the most.
A short clip emerged yesterday, but it's only today that these longer clips are coming out. This boggles my mind for several reasons. If Fields was assaulted as she said, someone would have caught the incident on camera, either accidentally or by focusing on her because filming security guards using force is great footage for any journalist to be filming.
That footage would be worth a lot of money. News outlets in the US pay a lot for these videos, and there are even independent writers like Mike Cernovich who have offered $1,000 to anyone who can provide video of the alleged assault. There is LITERALLY no reason for the videos to be coming out today, other than no one has footage of the assault, because it was not the incident Fields made it out to be.
Footage would also be important, because remember… we have no idea if Lewandowski even assaulted her. Remember the picture above? Lewandowski is not in arms reach of Fields, a secret service agent is. Secret service agents have been known to be a bit aggressive. They're also federal workers, not Trump's personal crew.
New footage today from the event caused Breitbart to review its statements, and they are now claiming that the Washington Post journalist misidentified Lewandowski. I'm personally very good with faces, and see a big difference between Lewandowski, who I have seen many times before as a journalist myself, and a nameless secret service agent who looks like a clone of every other secret service agent. Apparently though, their short hair is enough to confuse these reporters into conveniently claiming a Trump campaign manager committed an assault.
Her colleague, Patrick Howley, questioned why there was no video on Tuesday. Breitbart has put him on "indeterminate leave," which is the industry term for fired. Here are his tweets, which he deleted:
I mention this because, again referring to the general media reaction following this event, every publication was describing Breitbart as a "notoriously pro-Trump outlet." This is false. They may have had a few op-eds here and there which were favorable, but many which aren't, and their overall tone of him is not special. Are these media outlets talking about how they sacked someone for asking for evidence to this woman's claims? That doesn't seem very pro-Trump to me… in fact, it seems anti-Trump.
If a reporter claimed that Justin Trudeau's assistant assaulted her, no one would believe them. I should also note that if a male reporter made such a big deal out of a small bruise, this story would be quite different, but I digress… If a reporter made these claims about Trudeau, they would require VIDEO FOOTAGE, especially because the claim took place where literally everyone had a smart phone rolling and aimed at the person you are fucking talking to. So, by firing someone simply for requiring the same burden of proof that one would ask when making such a claim against anyone else's campaign manager… you are being anti-Trump.
Remember that photograph above, taken by Washington Post's Jabin Botsford?
Botsford initially told someone investigating this that he wasn't at the event… which is easily disproven by the photo credit from the photo he took at the press conference… or his follow-up tweet, claiming he saw no assaults at the event.
Let's take a step back and try to reevaluate this situation. Let's assume her bruises are real, and that someone did grab her arm unnecessarily hard. The first step would be figuring out who did it. In her defence, it was the Washington Post journalist I'm not naming who identified him for her as Lewandowski.
So she can now go to the police, or the media, with her claim. In both cases, there is a burden of proof, for very obvious reasons. For the police to press charges, they need to know for a fact that Lewandowski did grab her. Because there were cameras everywhere there, literally pointed at her when this would have transpired, video would be required for Lewandowski to face consequences for what he allegedly did.
However, the burden of proof in the media is only as big as they want it to be. And when it comes to Trump, the one candidate who has exposed so many of the media's mistakes and ill ways during his campaign, it seems quite clear that any of these publications (Breitbart, Washington Post) have a very low burden of proof for this kind of stuff.
What to make of all this? Stop relying on media that don't cover this story properly. There is no excuse for any journalist to be writing about this as anything but an alleged assault with basically no proof other than her arm maybe being grabbed a little bit vigorously.
Next time you read a headline about someone loosely related to Trump, or Trump himself doing something bad, do a little bit of digging before you let it affect your perception of Trump. You may start to realize a lot of your ideas have been placed in your head without any foundation.

Jenny Maybee is "equally talented as a vocalist and pianist." Her "piano playing and vocals…are altogether eloquent and heart-stopping…her voicing is expertly balanced…and her phrasing sings wonderfully throughout the repertoire." Her vocals have been described as "exquisite," "hauntingly beautiful," and "in the same league" with Billie Holiday — music that "you could close your eyes to and nod out blissfully in a deep groove…" Her piano style has been compared to Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea, McCoy Tyner, and Cecil Taylor.
Jenny "make(s) beautiful music expressing the sheer joy of being alive. You sense it in the augmented chords that Maybee plays on her piano, then leaping like a mad gazelle to catch its essence with her voice." As a classically trained jazz pianist and vocalist, Jenny's "unique style seems fairly sedate on the surface, but is capable of sudden intensity whenever the music demands."
This mixture of sensitivity and boldness weaves through her original compositions and interpretations of jazz standards. Drawing inspiration from her studies of the martial and healing arts and the vast sonic landscape of jazz and world music, her playing reflects her range of exploration, dancing from stunning open space and intricate use of silence to powerful rhythmic intensity.
Active in the Bay Area jazz/improv scene since 2002, she has performed and recorded with Noertker's Moxie (2002-2012), the Empty Chamber Ensemble, her own trio, and many other great Bay Area musicians. Jenny currently leads a piano trio and is continually exploring new sound landscapes. She is a member of The Recording Academy (GRAMMYs) and has been a presenter for the Jazz Education Network.
HAIKU, Jenny's nationally charting latest album, was released in January 2016. Jenny co-produced and arranged the album with veteran GRAMMY®-recognized jazz producer and trumpet player Nick Phillips (Karrin Allyson, Nnenna Freelon). HAIKU was lauded in the press as "a thrilling, intimate, very delicate dialogue...close to perfection," and Jenny's composition "Winter Butterflies" was selected as one of the Top 10 New Songs of 2016.

Missouri Spinal Cord Injury Claims and Litigation
Severe truck or auto accidents, falls from heights, or an undiagnosed infection at a hospital can all result in paralysis due to spinal cord damage. If you need legal advice about your options for recovering damages from the person or institution responsible for a serious injury to the neck or back, contact an experienced trial attorney at Devereaux, Stokes, Fernandez & Leonard in St. Louis.
Experience. Integrity. Results. Call 314-433-9131 or toll free 866-285-4611
The first step, of course, is to prove liability against the defendant – in other words, to prove that you have the right to collect compensation from the person whose negligence or indifference to your safety caused your spine injury. As experienced personal injury attorneys, we are thoroughly familiar with the full range of accident investigation techniques. We know what facts are necessary to prove negligence in motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice cases and other situations, and we know how to present those facts to their greatest persuasive effect both in settlement negotiations and in court.
Proof of damages through experts in spinal cord injury cases
Even while we are working up the liability side of your case, we monitor your physical condition and medical prognosis in order to ensure your access to the treatment and rehabilitation services you need for the greatest physical recovery possible. In cases where paraplegia or quadriplegia appear likely, we engage experienced life care planning experts to work with you and identify the full range of your present and future needs for adaptive technology, in-home assistance, pain management, counseling, and physical therapy to preserve your remaining physical health and capacity for independent living as much as possible.
In a case such as a truck accident or car wreck, there is usually little question that the spinal cord injury was the direct result of the collision. Once liability is established against the defendant, any remaining issues tend to involve the correct amount of future medical and rehabilitation expenses. In medical malpractice cases, however, the issue of causation is often in sharp dispute. The defendant physician or hospital might argue that a spinal injury resulted from preexisting conditions or infections that the health care provider could not reasonably have detected or prevented, given the patient's other symptoms.
Skilled trial representation for disabled clients since 1976
With 30 years of success on behalf of seriously injured clients and their families, the trial lawyers of Devereaux, Stokes, Fernandez & Leonard have demonstrated the ability to meet and overcome defenses to liability and damages in case after case, no matter how complex. We can commit whatever legal or forensic resources are necessary to establish your case within the limits of the facts and the law.

Adams State receives National Science Foundation grant
Developing virtual classrooms that expand course choices for students is the goal of a new National Science Foundation (NSF) grant recently awarded to Adams State University, in partnership with three other institutions. The three-year grant of $479,762 will fund the project "Engaged Student Learning: Coalition for Undergraduate Computational Data-enabled Science & Engineering (CDSE) Education."
Adams State Professor of Mathematics Matt Ikle is leading the project, in collaboration with Hong Liu of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), Michael Wolyniak of Hampden-Sydney College, and Raphael D. Isokpehi of Behthune-Cookman University. This grant expands upon a previous NSF-funded project conducted by Adams State and ERAU.
"This approach gives students at smaller institutions access to upper-level courses that might not be offered otherwise. Students also benefit from expertise beyond their own campuses," Ikle said. For example, smaller schools may have only one or two students interested in Data Mining and Visualization, which Ikle developed and taught in the first project, or Mathematical Modeling and Simulation, developed by Hong Liu of ERAU. But the collaboration will bring students from four schools together, creating a larger, viable class size.
Students at all four institutions will take a class simultaneously, through live, interactive broadcasts that are supplemented with web-based content. Another professor will also participate live at each school in order to answer questions or elaborate on instruction. Adams State Assistant Professor of Management Information Systems Comfort Cover will teach in the program, as well. Students will pay tuition and receive credit through their home institutions.
"Students can interact with each other and the professor through the live broadcasts, and the local facilitator will be another resource," Ikle said. He noted four Adams State students who took courses through the original project presented their work on non-linear phenomenon at an international conference.
Ikle explained the project's vision is to build more coalitions of participating schools, broadening the courses each can offer. Over the course of three years, the project will develop four new courses:
- Database Design
- Genomics and Bioinformatics
- Problems in Atmosphere and Hydrosphere
- Advanced Computing Resources in Biology

A driver with multiple past DUI convictions who allegedly drank alcohol and was behind the wheel during a fatal crash will not be charged with felonies.
Delhi resident Michael Lindo, 33, pleaded no contest Friday to a misdemeanor charge and was released, according to the Merced County District Attorney's Office. He originally was arrested after being arrested on charges of murder and driving under the influence
Lindo was driving a 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe east on August Avenue at about 30 mph after 9 p.m. on Jan. 23 when the Tahoe hit Jennifer Arroyo, a 17-year-old Delhi girl, as she was walking on the street.
Lindo reportedly sped away from the scene, but then returned later and called 9-1-1, according to investigation reports.
After taking field sobriety tests and a Breathalyzer test that registered a .05 blood alcohol content about 75 minutes after the crash, Lindo was arrested by California Highway Patrol on suspicion of DUI causing great bodily injury, hit and run resulting in death, gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, having multiple DUI convictions and misdemeanors.
Because of Lindo's two prior DUI convictions, he also was arrested on a charge of first degree murder.
But the Merced County District Attorney's Office decided not to charge Lindo with the felony because prosecutors felt the evidence wasn't clear enough to convict him beyond a reasonable doubt, Deputy District Attorney Harold Nutt said.
Lindo still will have to face misdemeanor violation of probation charges on his DUI convictions because those prior convictions were misdemeanors.
The decision, which Arroyo's family and friends learned about this week, was troubling to the Delhi community.
"I have several friends who prayed with me (after the crash)," said Alta Huddleston Harryman, Arroyo's grandmother and legal guardian. "I got peace. Now I hear about (Lindo)."
Supporters in the community held a candlelight vigil and raised money for Arroyo's funeral last week. More fundraisers are planned for this weekend, including a car wash and tamale sale Saturday from 9 a..m. to about 5 p.m. near Schendel Avenue and Stephens Street.
Harryman said Arroyo had dreams of becoming a veterinarian. Family and friends said she was on an independent study program through Denair Charter Academy.
"She was dedicated to church and she was loved," Harryman said near a memorial to Arroyo at the site of the crash.
But now, family and friends of Arroyo are confused, frustrated and upset at Lindo walking free.
Thomas Metzger, a former paid-call firefighter for Merced County Fire, responded to the scene right after the crash and administered CPR to Arroyo.
Metzger told the Sun-Star said he could smell the alcohol on Lindo's breath as he returned after "speeding off" following the collision.
Several others at the memorial for Arroyo commented on the signs that Lindo was drinking.
According to investigation reports, Lindo admitted to drinking about one and a half beers at noon that day. Lindo passed three of the four field sobriety tests given to him, and he failed one test.
Although Lindo's blood alcohol content was below the legal limit of .08 about 75 minutes after the crash, investigators arrested Lindo on the knowledge that the human body's metabolizing rate for alcohol means Lindo likely had a level at or near .08 at the time of the crash.
All of that evidence, Nutt said, wasn't enough to convince the District Attorney's Office that Lindo was impaired beyond a reasonable doubt.
"The CHP operates on a completely different standard than what we do," Nutt said. "Someone can be arrested based on probable cause, but our standard to charge him has to be beyond a reasonable doubt."
CHP Merced Officer Eric Zuniga said authorities at the crash had probable cause to arrest Lindo, and that investigators "report to the best of our ability in hopes of someone being charged."
"I understand the pain and agony the family is feeling," Nutt said. "They want justice to be done. A lot of times people don't understand the burden we have to pass conviction."

Outtake from 'This Video Game Solved The Problem of Learning Guitar' #1: Rocksmith's origins
Note: this is an outtake from a longer story for Backchannel, This Video Game Solved The Problem of Learning Guitar, published on 4 May 2015. This outtake concerns the origins of the first Rocksmith game.
The game's origins are in a prototype title named Guitar Rising, which was created by independent development studio Game Tank and exhibited at the Game Developers Conference of 2008. There, a reporter for the website Destructoid demoed the game's innovative guitar-to-USB dongle while playing the Metallica track 'Enter Sandman' and was impressed, noting, "While it's not necessarily designed to turn you into a guitar god overnight, from our short time with it, it really seemed like a product that could boost dexterity."
While searching for a publisher, the Game Tank developers visited Ubisoft, where Paul Cross was working as manager of the studio's game design group, evaluating third-party products and critiquing their designs. "They'd brought this product in, which was scrolling guitar tab; it literally had numbers scrolling across the screen," he recalls. "The cool thing was that it recognised the guitar input and then told you whether you were playing it right or not." In the meeting, Cross — who had no experience with actual guitars — found that he was bored while playing Deep Purple's 'Smoke On The Water' on the easy setting, but couldn't keep up with the stream of notes once the difficulty was amped up. Afterwards, Cross said to his colleagues, "Man, the idea of this is so frickin' cool, but it's not sexy."
Still, Ubisoft decided to acquire Game Tank and its proprietary guitar-to-USB technology, but Guitar Rising remained dormant for another year, until Cross became creative director of the San Francisco studio in 2009. He and his team were itching for a challenge, and campaigned for the opportunity to build prototypes of some of the game ideas that the publisher owned. When Guitar Rising was mentioned by his boss, Laurent Detoc, Cross jumped at the chance. "We were quite mouthy, so before we said, 'No, we don't know anything about guitar,' we bit our tongues and said, 'Let us come back to you on that'," he recalls. Within a short period of time, Cross says, "We had the first-person [perspective], notes coming down the noteway, dynamic difficulty, and representations of chords; we had proof that this was going to work. It was a video game, and the guitar was just another controller — it just happens to be a little more complex, and a little more intimidating."

Inman Park
It is hard not to love historic Inman Park. Often called Atlanta's oldest neighborhood, it was established in 1890 and named after Samuel Inman, a prominent Atlanta businessman in the late 1800s. The picturesque area features several parks with abundant green spaces, wide lawns, stately Victorian-era homes and a plethora of independent boutiques and restaurants. Winding, narrow streets make strolling through the neighborhood an appealing option, and on any given day, residents enjoy tea and lemonade on sweeping front porches flanked by azalea bushes, giving the area a charming, homey feel.
Inman Park is a celebration of historic Atlanta residential architecture from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and in addition to Victorian-style mansions, influences range from Romanesque to Queen Anne. The neighborhood is comprised of two parts–the Inman Park historic district and the Inman Park-Moreland Historic District.

Ben has opened a discussion over at if:book about Gore Vidal's recent BookForum interview, in which, among other things, he laments the death of American readership. I've taken this as an opportunity to rant a bit about the presuppositions of this kind of death-discourse, which I've gone on at length about in The Anxiety of Obsolescence. I feel strongly enough about this comment to republish it here:
Oh, boy. Don't get me started. I've got an entire book's worth of arguments about this. These sorts of declinist arguments (no one reads anymore, and reading used to be so important; there are no famous novelists anymore, and novelists used to be stars!) nearly always seem to me led by two incorrect premises: a nostalgic over-estimation of the past importance of reading/the novel/the novelist to mainstream US culture, and a pessimistic, overly narrow underestimation of what's happening in contemporary culture. Yes, reading was very important, and the novel was a key cultural form, and novelists used to hit the talk-show circuit, but all of that was a far more limited phenomenon than it seems. Reading, particularly of fiction, has generally been the province of an educated segment of the population with an adequate supply of leisure time and the desire to fill that leisure time with an imaginative, edifying experience. It's arguable that in the 1950s economic and social forces combined to make that segment of the population seem both extremely large and central, but it was far from universal. (In a similar vein, one might revisit who the audience for talk shows such as Jack Paar and Johnny Carson was, and how that audience — and thus the nature of the talk show — has shifted in the last fifty years.)
But, on the present: anyone who suggests that there are no famous authors today has a very narrow definition of fame. Making such a statement requires never having shown up at a David Foster Wallace reading, or a similar appearance by any number of other writers. And even writers who don't appear are famous: Pynchon has been on The Simpsons! Can you imagine the mob scene if he ever decided to show up in public? It's of course arguable, as I think Vidal is suggesting, that this kind of fame isn't mainstream, that these audiences are somehow on the fringe of contemporary culture; I'd argue that such readerships have always been more removed from the mainstream than they might have seemed, and that, in fact, the construction of this audience as "marginal" within US culture has been part of a conscious attempt to protect the novel's audience by creating a sort of cultural wildlife preserve, away from the depredations of more contemporary media forms.
And on those contemporary media forms: it's my sense that people aren't doing less reading than they used to, but rather that they're doing far more; it's just that the scene of reading no longer involves a retreat from the general flow of life into a quiet space with a discrete, printed object. Now the scene of reading is everywhere: public, communal, wired. And the form of reading looks quite different: sometimes it involves the interpretation of visual images and embodied performances rather than simply the processing of text. The book is not alone, and won't ever be alone again; authors have got to start thinking about the ways that new forms of reading might be used to their advantage, rather than retreating into nostalgia.
After publishing which, I realized what I'd left out:
(I failed to mention the first time out that all of this has echoes of Norma Desmond reverberating in my head: 'Reading is big. It's print that got small.')

Investing in the Future of the Field
Around four months ago, I packed up my car and headed north to Indianapolis. Many of my friends scoffed: "What on earth will you be doing in Indianapolis for three weeks?" Quite honestly, I wasn't truly able to explain—professional development seminar sounds so boring! And about history museums? No wonder my friends were confused.
Now that I'm back home in Dallas, I can't stop talking about my experience at SHA, the friends I made and the lessons I learned. I've given little talks about SHA to the board, staff—and scoffing friends. I've used SHA-proven exercises during strategic planning sessions, discussed some articles with staff, and had them do the work-style quiz. In other words, the giant SHA notebook comes off the shelf about once a week.
Though I'm confident that deciding to apply to SHA was one of the best decisions I've ever made, it wasn't without risks and sacrifices. Putting your life on hold for three weeks is hard. And when the annual professional development budget for a department is half what SHA costs, the expense itself can be risky for an institution with a tight budget. Winning the Denny O'Toole Scholarship removed my financial risk in attending SHA. I'm very conscious of the investment AASLH and the other partners put into me and my institution through this gift. And I'm more than ready to give back!
Think of giving to the Denny O'Toole Scholarship Fund as a way of saying thank you—for all the conversations, meals, beverages, jokes, and moments of inspiration. You're not just providing an opportunity for someone to have the SHA experience—you're investing in the future of the field.

Thank you for your support—and I hope to see you in the Twin Cities this fall!

The fiction of Richard Powers sometimes resembles a dying satyr—above the waist is a mind full of serious thought, philosophical reflection, deep exploration of music and science; below, a pair of spindly legs strain to support the great weight of the ambitious brain.Wood is (predictably) hard on Powers but the review is worth a read, just the same.

We are expanding our presence in Europe and placed our equipment at Energohost (www.energohost.com). Energohost is a company specializing in professional mining equipment hosting at competitive electricity prices in Europe.
Our cooperation with Energohost will strengthen our presence in Europe and compensate for the risks of placement in unstable regions.
Energohost has its own Tier-2 data-centers in the center of Riga, Latvia, offering accommodation of hardware at the highest standards of safety and fire resistance. The time of failure-free operation of the hotels of Energohost is 99.5%!
Last week we have introduced a new multi-pool SCRYPT PRO contract for Litecoin mining with potential annual profit up to 82%. SCRYPT PRO sales exceeded all our expectations and we forecast that all free capacity for the SCRYPT PRO contract will be sold out in 2 weeks!
SCRYPT PRO mining strategy is very similar to the the recently released SHA-256 PRO contract, which includes the simultaneous mining of Litecoin and 100+ other crypto coins with the subsequent automatic trading at the best rates on the largest crypto-exchanges in the world.
At the moment, SCRYPT PRO contract shows 35% better results than the usual SCRYPT contract, what helps to minimize risks against the ordinary Litecoin mining.
Thanks to the efficient collaboration of our engineers and developers we have launched new multi-pool based SHA-256 PRO contract with the ability to mine 160+ cryptocurrencies simultaneously.
The strategy is entirely clear: we are doing constant cryptocurrency market analysis and mining the most promising crypto coins. Once mined coins gain its maximum potential (according to our forecasts) we sell it using our specially developed rapid API connection to several crypto exchanges.
Currently, our advanced algorithm helps us to manage it with profit up to 70% higher than standard SHA-256 contract. However, this aggressive strategy is a bit more risky in the short term.

In couple psychotherapy I listen carefully to what you have to say to me and to each other, seeking to understand your difficulties as signposts to what might be happening at a deeper level.
Most of us live out our lives in the context of an intimate relationship. These intimate relationships frequently challenge us at the core of our being, activating our need to love and be loved, our need to hate and be hated, and our need to know and be known. There is no such thing, outside the realms of imagination, as a relationship free from conflict, and how a relationship deals with conflict may be the best barometer of its success or failure.
The "psychological work" that we engage with our partners in life may be the longest term work we engage ever. Sometimes it can appear we have chosen our partner for the very difficulties they cause us! However, understanding this as an opportunity to learn about ourselves, and grow as individuals, is liberating. We choose our partners for reasons both conscious and unconscious, but the strongest bond is likely to be the unconscious mutual harmony of exchanged parts of ourselves.
We never outgrow our need for warm, loving, relationships, but this need often invokes the ghosts of our past, who haunt our every attempt at finding happiness in our intimate relationships.
In addition, couple psychotherapy offers an opportunity to work through our individual difficulties in the context of our relationship allowing us to become freer to live more fulfilling lives together and apart.
I am not restricting a 'couple' to a heterosexual union, but rather any committed long term relationship where the intention is to be intimate and emotionally available, whilst respecting each other's individuality and autonomy.

You Don't Say, Huh?
While I was under the dryer, I read a couple of magazines and as I was flipping through one of them, I saw a story or a briefing, rather, in a section of the mag that looked so familiar....
Welll, over the last few months, I have pitching magazine editors with different story ideas (with no particular topic in mind). Funny how a pitch I sent out in April has turned into a small story in one of the magazines.
Am I saying this magazine "stole" my idea? Not necessarily so. Maybe great minds think alike. Maybe someone beat me to the punch months ago before I ever pitched the idea. Who knows? Whatever the reason, it doesn't sit well me at all, but I have no control over it.
So I need to ask some real professionals, how do you keep your ideas from being used, instead of your writing services? Can you do anything at all? I never heard from that mag with a yea or nay on whether or not they liked my idea, so that's makes me a little irritated. I imagine that this happens a lot.
I've got to do my research.

The Bible is a big book; well, library of God breathed books actually. It takes some sixty hours to read from cover to cover. It can be done in a month if one invests two hours a day, in two months at an hour a day. In a short twenty minutes a day it can be read cover to cover in a year. It is a very good thing to do.
But as we read the Word of God there are some things we tend not to notice, unless a particular interest or inclination brings it to our attention. One of those things is the repeated incidents of nudity.
When Biblical nudity is mentioned most people immediately remember Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, and hastily add that after the fall God clothed them. They then sadly misinterpret why and use it as evidence that everyone should be clothed everywhere all the time, except in very private situations. They passionately conclude that God would never endorse public nudity, never mind inspire it. No, public nudity is always a shameful thing fraught with the potential for lust and sexual sin! And after that little rant, they seem ignorant of any further incidents.
Witness of the Word and Spirit
But God was not always getting people to cover up. In fact, sometimes just the opposite.
The story of Adam and Eve is only one of many nude stories in Biblical history. As shocking as it may be to current Christian sensitivities, there were times when public nudity was inspired by the moving of the Holy Spirit, or instructed by the Word of God. And we all know that both the leading of the Holy Spirit and the instruction of the Word of God are vital to our knowing the will and the ways of God. It is safe to say that when both the Word and the Spirit agree, we have clear insight as to what God wants us to do. As surprising as it may seem, the Bible shows that both the Word and the Spirit agree that God is not always against public nudity. There are times when getting buck naked is clearly His revealed will.
Isaiah ~ Instructed by the Word of God
No one less than the very well respected Isaiah, he who declared that
"For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 NKJV.
This mighty Isaiah was told by the Word of the Lord to get naked and stay naked for three years.
In the year that the commander in chief, who was sent by Sargon the king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and fought against it and captured it - at that time the Lord spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loose the sackcloth from your waist and take off your sandals from your feet," and he did so, walking naked and barefoot. Then the Lord said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush, so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt. Isaiah 20:1-4
For almost the same span of time that Jesus ministered on earth Isaiah walked the land naked, led the people of God naked; even preached, prayed and prophesied naked. When people saw him coming they saw his penis. When he got animated in ministry, they saw his cock and balls - in full swinging and bouncing motion. And when he walked away, they saw his bare bum.
Since Isaiah would travel from place to place, I suppose he could be called an Old Testament nude hiker. Sounds to me like a good example to emulate.
Micah ~ Demanded by the Situation
Micah was another naked prophet.
Because of this I must lament and wail, I must go barefoot and naked; I must make a lament like the jackals and a mourning like the ostriches. Micah 1:8
So common was it for prophets
to go bare butt that when
the Holy Spirit came upon him
and he got naked, it was
assumed that Saul was now
named among the prophets.
Saul ~ Inspired by the Holy Spirit
Saul visited the prophets and got naked.
And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?" 1 Samuel 19: 23 - 24
Saul went to see the prophet Samuel. So common was it for prophets to go bare butt that when the Holy Spirit came upon him and he got naked, it was assumed that Saul was now named among the prophets. After all, that is what these wild men did under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. They got naked. Saul got naked too.
Word and Spirit Agree
This was nudity clearly commanded by the Word of God, dictated by the circumstances, and an inclination inspired by the Holy Spirit. If in the Biblical record both the Word and the Spirit permit and inspire, and sometimes even demand public nudity, it clearly indicates that it is not the shame we have perceived it to be. It is not sinful. It is not forbidden. It is not a lust laden danger. It is not a borderline activity. It is not a shocking aberration. It need not be a shameful secret. In fact, at times the situation not only requires we get naked: it is the only legitimate response. It certainly is not forbidden for those for whom it is a pleasure, joy and delight.
The Word and the Spirit agree – public nudity can be both good, and God inspired. And for some individuals, especially the prophets, it can be a regular part of their life in God.
While I agree that Adam did not have tatoos,
nor did he shave his face or his genitals,
this is still a more accurate depiction than most of
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.

"Over the last 150 years the corporation has risen from relative obscurity to become the world's dominant economic institution. Today, corporations govern our lives. They determine what we eat, what we watch, what we wear, where we work, and what we do. We are inescapably surrounded by their culture, iconography, and ideology. And, like the church and the monarchy in other times, they posture as infallible and omnipotent, glorifying themselves in imposing buildings and elaborate displays. Increasingly, corporations dictate the decisions of their supposed overseers in government and control domains of society once firmly embedded within the public sphere. The corporation's dramatic rise to dominance is one of the remarkable events of modern history, not least because of the institution's inauspicious beginnings."
With such an epic, no holds-barred introduction, I think Joel Bakan's The Corporation will prove to be a delightful read.

Astronomers identify one of the nearest supernovae in the last 25 yearsSeptember 26th, 2008 - 3:25 pm ICT by ANI
Munich, September 26 (ANI): Using a web of telescopes, astronomers have identified one of the nearest supernovae in the last 25 years, a decade after it exploded.
This result was made possible by combining data from the vast online archives from many of the worlds premier telescopes.
The supernova, called SN 1996cr, was first singled out in 2001 by Franz Bauer.
Bauer noticed a bright, variable source in the Circinus spiral galaxy, using NASAs Chandra X-ray Observatory. Although the source displayed some exceptional properties Bauer and his Penn State colleagues could not identify its nature confidently at the time.
It was not until years later that Bauer and his team were able to confirm that this object was a supernova.
Clues from a spectrum obtained by ESOs Very Large Telescope led the team to start the real detective work of searching through data from 18 different telescopes, both ground- and space-based, nearly all of which existed.
Because this object was found in an interesting nearby galaxy, the public archives of these telescopes contained abundant observations .
The data show that SN 1996cr is among the brightest supernovae ever seen in radio and X-rays.
It also bears many striking similarities to the famous supernova SN 1987A, which occurred in a neighbouring galaxy only 160 000 light-years from Earth.
This supernova appears to be a wild cousin of SN 1987A, said Bauer. The two look alike in many ways, except this newer supernova is intrinsically a thousand times brighter in radio and X-rays, he added.
Visible-light images from the archives of the Anglo-Australian Telescope in Australia show that SN 1996cr exploded sometime between 28 February 1995 and 15 March 1996, but it is the only one of the five nearest supernovae of the last 25 years that was not seen shortly after the explosion.
Other major X-ray observatories in orbit like ROSAT and ASCA did not detect SN 1996cr, but since it was first detected by Chandra in 2001 it has become steadily brighter.
Previously, SN 1987A was the only known supernova with an X-ray output that increased over time.
Its a bit of a coup to find SN 1996cr like this, and we could never have nailed it without the serendipitous data taken by all of these telescopes. Weve truly entered a new era of internet astronomy, said Bauer.
According to Vikram Dwarkadas of the University of Chicago, Not only does our work suggest that SN 1987A isnt as unusual as previously thought, but it also teaches us more about the tremendous upheavals that massive stars can undergo over their lifetimes. (ANI)
