Despite the hysterical shuffling of chairs formally known as instituting Homeland Security, the sprawling intelligence-gathering apparatus that existed pre-9/11 likely will survive the restructuring largely unscathed. This does not bode well for averting future attacks. With the existence of terrorist "sleeper cells" in the American heartland apparently confirmed and the color-coded alert system ratcheted up recently to the second-highest level, the need for accurate, well-analyzed information has never been higher, but confidence in the quality of intelligence work never lower. By all appearances, the spy bureaucracy, now comprising fourteen agencies and about 100,000 employees–much of which will remain intact even with a new Department of Homeland Security–practically begs for the same kind of housecleaning under discussion at the moment in other establishment pillars, from the FBI to the INS.
In late September a joint Congressional committee was generating daily headlines as it revealed a pattern of pre-9/11 intelligence failures and as sentiment belatedly coalesced around the need for an independent commission of inquiry. But it is one thing to dance vigorously in the glare of a harsh spotlight. It is another thing entirely to do the hard, unheralded and ultimately more meaningful work of policing and directing the intelligence community over the long haul. Even in recent days, random anecdotal evidence mounted that Congressional intelligence oversight bears too many markings of a rubber-stamping politburo. Two examples: the panel's inability to refer by name to a key 9/11 planner, though his identity could be found on the front page of the New York Times, and the Administration's determination to keep Colin Powell and Donald Rumsfeld from even having to comment on the general quality of intelligence they receive.
Congressional impotence was seldom clearer than early in the summer, when the White House accused the intelligence committees of leaking sensitive information. Panicky members rushed to invite the FBI to investigate and even polygraph them, raising the question: Who's investigating whom here? In the months prior to the recent dramatics, the prevailing winds were not those of reform but of fear–and less fear of terrorists than of the forces that wish to suppress information. Even most committee members known as comparatively reform-minded on other topics declined to respond to interview requests for this article.
One who did agree was Richard Shelby, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, a moderately conservative Republican from Alabama who is one of the panel's few open critics of the intelligence community. In a long chat in his suite at the Hart Office Building during the summer before the public hearings had been scheduled, Shelby discussed the challenges of dealing with a closed subject in an open society. At one point, he mentioned having just received a handwritten letter from Zacarias Moussaoui. The Moroccan-born Frenchman, who is awaiting trial in connection with the 9/11 attacks, was requesting permission to address Congress, saying he wanted to talk about an FBI cover-up. Whether Moussaoui is crazy–or crazy like a fox–what he has to say seems worth hearing, so I asked Shelby if I could get a copy of the letter. Shelby consulted an aide, and concluded that he was able to accommodate me because the document had not been classified–yet. Absent any evidence that the letter was a coded instruction to sleeper cells from a man who was already in jail on September 11, 2001, it seemed an unlikely threat to national security. But in today's climate, everything is sensitive, everything quickly gets locked away from public view.

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (AP) — The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has named its newest Miss Golden Globe.
Francesca Eastwood was introduced as the 2013 honoree Thursday at Cecconi's restaurant in West Hollywood. The 19-year-old is the daughter of Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood.
Miss Golden Globe is traditionally the child of a celebrity who is invited to help during the ceremony. Previous honorees include Rumer Willis, Laura Dern, Melanie Griffith and Joely Fisher.
Francesca Eastwood is an actress who also stars with her stepmother, Dina Eastwood, her half-sister, Morgan Eastwood, and the South African boy band Overtone in the E! reality series "Mrs. Eastwood and Company." She's currently enrolled at the University of Southern California.
Nominations for the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards will be announced Dec. 13. The ceremony is set for Jan. 13.

I want Barack Obama to become the President of the USA. I do. Honestly.
However, telling you guys is enough for me and I don't feel the need to have his name plastered across each of my outfits.
This season is one of continued focus on shape; the tulip skirt, the peplum, the over-sized collar. I have always leaned towards a slimmer-fit for hoodies and trousers but this season I plan to try something new. This 'Panda' hoodie from Bape fits the bill perfectly, it is quite baggy and voluminous but it has a fitted waist resulting in a highly fashionable silhouette.
P. Diddy has graced the cover of L'Uomo Vogue's latest issue and I'm not sure what to think. Not someone who I associate with great style or fashion prowess (despite the cologne and menswear line,) P.Diddy looks a bit naff in my opinion.
But hey, at least he's lost the suglasses for once! Tell us what you think by e-mailing email@example.com
I'm currently sitting in a small room in India with a fan spinning in an attempt to cool me down and a mosquito net blanketing the balcony door. I have to admit it's pretty hard to imagine wearing trench coats right now. But, I'm a proud Brit and nothing is going to get in the way of my winter-wardrobe appreciation.
Annie Leibovitz, Sean Connery, the Bahamas, Marc Jacobs and plenty of Louis Vuitton– sounds like a pretty enticing mix, doesn't it? Well no longer must it remain a fantasy as WWD has released the ex-007's advert for the French luxury-fashion house and it's better than we were expecting. After Keith Richard and Francis Ford Coppola, Leibovitz has again captured a mature cool that is slowly abolishing the bling/label-whore mood often synonymous with Vuitton's accessories.
David Walliams, the man who shot to stardom with the launch of Little Britain, has accomplished many things. He's won a ton of awards, just launched state-side, swam across the English Channel and even been spotted with the likes of Natalie Imbruglia and Kate Moss on his arm. Now, the comedian had decided to write a book for children, 'The Boy In The Dress,' about a boy who likes to dress in female clothing and his journey to see the approval of his peers. Illustrated by Quentin Blake, I'm sure it will sell simply on shock factor but it would struggle to be as shocking as this editorial from Parade magazine.
I have to admit that despite being a lover of high-fashion millinery from the likes of Stephen Jones and Philip Treacy, I just can't wear hats. They look truly horrific on me.
But the whole Brandish team is currently infatuated with an item that looks set to take off in the coming months (of snow and cold.)
Andre Benjamin (also known as Andre 3000) is taking part in the latest 'Declare Yourself' campaign which urges American youths to cast their vote as to who should be the next President of their country.
Major fashion retailer H&M has got together with Japanese fashion ninjas Commes des Garcons to bring you the latest in affordable fashion. H&M is not new to collaborating with the big wigs of fashion, their '04 colab with Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld springs immediately to mind, so the new line of clothes has been eagerly awaited for months now and has sprung many an internet debate mostly focusing on the cost of the pieces which are to be expected to be on the pricey side for the rock bottom retailer H&M.
Australian streetwear (yeah i know, I thought it was all just surfing and BBQ's too) brand Schwipe has released pics of their Autumn/Winter 2008 collection. With dark base colours and high contrast tongue in cheek graphics all the pieces look great and set the brand up to be really taken seriously in the street fashion world outside of Australia.
The Kris Van Assche show was bound to attract some of the fash-pack's best-dressing men and with the help of The Sartorialist, we need not fly to Paris to savour the front-row fashion savoir-faire.
This outfit is based around my fashion task de jour (as if I could make that sound any more pretentious!) That task would be to make tasselled loafers wearable while avoiding the Ralph Lauren, polo-player trap so closely associated with this (in)famous yet iconic shoe.
Autumn is coming, the leaves are beginning to drop, the nights a drawing in and I'm retrieving my knocked off Burberry scarves (yes- scarves, three in fact: navy nova check, grey nova check and the classic beige nova check, don't try to hide your jealousy) from the back of the wardrobe.
American Apparel, the brand synonymous with androgyny and men in skintight jeans, has just launched their Unisex Oxford Shirt. I have three sisters and I'm no stranger to borrowing the odd jumper (actually, that would be reclaiming,) and I have in past borrowed Ralph Lauren shirts and vintage blazers for a better fit and a slimmer silhouette. Russell Brand, a man who walks on to a talk-show in a jersey tunic dress and girl's jeans from Topshop but still manages to be a sex god, would be a great example of unisex dressing at its best but what do you think? Is it worth the sartorial risk when you might see a girl in the same tee as you?
Would you go Unisex- vote in our poll after the jump!
The first installment of the Nike 3×3 project has dropped over at Nike Sportswear. The 3×3 project is a series of 9 short films by 3 talented young peeps the first of which by Adam Jay Weissman features the legendary Nike Windrunner, other shorts by Todd James and Chris Robinson will be dropping over the course of the next 8 weeks at the rate of one a week.
Mark Ronson has always been a tiptop fashion star and this year has been awash with his sartorial influence. From the stripes and Mod look of early 2008 to the sharp tailoring in kooky fabrics. From the 50s rock-star (read: Elvis) to the fur-clad aristo-geek.
Now, Ronson is taking it upon himself to lead the way with the trapper-hat wearer, 'Lightspeed Champion,' look as first established by our (soon to depart-) Jason Dike.
As much as I hate label-whores and Louis Vuitton/Gucci-style designs that are made only for the monogram printed across them, I have to admit that my Sartorial 'id,' survives vicariously through Kanye West's 'Universecity' blog.
Often, we catch (not very) subtle glimpses of candy-coloured designer goods but sometimes we're treated to the odd indie-flash buy. Like this 'Mr P' t-shirt designed by Tim Lahan. It's quirky, fun, lighthearted and a piece that you could wear with anything.
With a new of series of Heroes about to begin, the unfortunate death of Yves Saint Laurent and the number of Clark Kent-y characters about in the most recent blockbusters, my style radar is tuned to the male who's more gauche, awkward and geeky in the best way possible. Think of 1970s art students carrying open sketchbooks around Paris, Isaac Mendez of Heroes lounging around his studio in over-sized chinos and Marc Jacobs around his grunge era (which means big glasses, baggy jumpers and lots of corduroy.) I took a risk with mixing the denim shirt with dark jeans but the two items together are a wearable look that anyone can pull off.
Check out the product details after the jump and see how geeky you can get this winter- Argyle jumper anyone?

Consuming the Word
- The New Testament and the Eucharist in the Early Church
- Narrated by: Sean Runnette
- Length: 4 hrs and 13 mins

- Whispersync for Voice-ready
Long before the New Testament was a document, it was a sacrament. Jesus called the Eucharist by the name Christians subsequently gave to the latter books of the Holy Bible. It was the "New Covenant," the "New Testament," in his blood. Christians later extended the phrase to cover the books produced by the apostles and their companions; but they did so because these were the books that could be read at Mass.
This simple and demonstrable historical fact has enormous implications for the way we read the Bible. In Consuming the Word: The New Testament and the Eucharist in the Early Church, Dr. Scott Hahn undertakes an examination of some of Christianity's most basic terms to discover what they meant to the sacred authors, the apostolic preachers, and their first hearers. Moreover, at a time when the Church is embarking on a New Evangelization he draws lessons for Christians today to help solidify their understanding of the why it is Catholics do what Catholics do.
Anyone acquainted with the rich body of writing that flows so inspiringly from the hand and heart of Dr. Hahn knows that he brings profound personal insight to his demonstrated theological expertise," writes Cardinal Donald Wuerl in the foreword to the book. Consuming the Word continues in that illustrious tradition. It brings us a powerful and welcome guide as we take our place in the great and challenging work in sharing the Good News.

Concise and clear
Would you listen to Consuming the Word again? Why?
I will listen to "Consuming the Word" again. As a student of the author, I find this book to be a concise explication of the relationship between the Word and the Eucharist.
What about Sean Runnette's performance did you like?
Mr. Runnette's rendering of the text is gentle and reverent. I found his tone to be relaxing and, in some sense, he seems to withdraw himself and let the text speak for itself - an art in and of itself. Mr. Runnette's voice, cadence and inflection are ideal for spiritual and theological books. I hope to encounter him again through the recorded word.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It is one of the few books which upon finishing made me want to go back to the beginning and start over again.

The New Poetry: An Anthology
Harriet Monroe, ed.
The New Poetry: An Anthology.
the last three or four years there has been a remarkable renascence of poetry in both America and England, and an equally extraordinary revival of public interest in the art.
The editors of this anthology wish to present in convenient form representative work of the poets who are to-day creating what is commonly called the new poetry,a phrase no doubt rash and most imperfectly descriptive, since the new in art is always the elder old, but one difficult to replace with any form of words more exact. Much newspaper controversy, and a number of special magazines, testify to the demand for such a book; also many letters to the editors of
asking for informationletters not only from individual lovers of the art, but also from college professors and literary clubs or groups, who have begun to feel that the poetry of to-day is a vital force no longer to be ignored. Indeed, many critics feel that poetry is coming nearer than either the novel or the drama to the actual life of to-day. The magazine
ever since its foundation in October, 1912, has encouraged this new spirit in the art, and the anthology is a further effort on the part of its editors to present the new spirit to the public.
What is the new poetry? and wherein does it differ from the old? The difference is not in mere details of form, for much poetry infused with the new spirit conforms to the old measures and rhyme-schemes. It is not merely in diction, though the truly modern poet rejects the so-called poetic shifts of languagethe
deems, neaths, forsooths,
etc., the inversions and high-sounding rotundities, familiar to his predecessors: all the rhetorical excesses through which most Victorian poetry now seems over-apparelled, as a speaker at a
dinnera lawyer, not a poetput it in pointing out what the new movement is aiming at. These things are important, but the difference goes deeper than details of form, strikes through them to fundamental integrities.
The new poetry strives for a concrete and immediate realization of life; it would discard the theory, the abstraction, the remoteness, found in all classics not of the first order. It is less vague, less verbose, less eloquent, than most poetry of the Victorian period and much work of earlier periods. It has set before itself an ideal of absolute simplicity and sincerityan ideal which implies an individual, unstereotyped diction; and an individual, unstereotyped rhythm. Thus inspired, it becomes intensive rather than diffuse. It looks out more eagerly than in; it becomes objective. The term exteriority has been applied to it, but this is incomplete. In presenting the concrete object or the concrete environment, whether these be beautiful or ugly, it seeks to give more precisely the emotion arising from them, and thus widens immeasurably the scope of the art.
All this implies no disrespect for tradition. The poets of to-day do not discard tradition because they follow the speech of to-day rather than that of Shakespeares time, or strive for organic rhythm rather than use a mold which has been perfected by others. On the contrary, they follow the great tradition when they seek a vehicle suited to their own epoch and their own creative mood, and resolutely reject all others.
Great poetry has always been written in the language of contemporary speech, and its theme, even when legendary, has always borne a direct relation with contemporary thought, contemporary imaginative and spiritual life. It is this direct relation which the more progressive modern poets are trying to restore. In this effort they discard not only archaic diction but also the shop-worn subjects of past history or legend, which have been through the centuries a treasure-trove for the second-rate.
This effort at modern speech, simplicity of form, and authentic vitality of theme, is leading our poets to question the authority of the accepted laws of English verse, and to study other languages, ancient and modern, in the effort to find out what poetry really is. It is a strange fact that, in the common prejudice of cultivated people during the four centuries from just before 1400 to just before 1800, nothing was accepted as poetry in English that did not walk in the iambic measure. Bits of Elizabethan song and of Drydens two musical odes, both beating four-time instead of the iambic three, were outlandish intrusions too slight to count. To write English poetry, a man must measure his paces according to the iambic foot-rule; and he must mark off his lines with rhymes, or at least marshal them in the pentameter movement of blank verse.
The first protest against this prejudice, which long usage had hardened into law, came in the persons of four or five great poetsBurns, Coleridge, Keats, Shelley, Byronwho puzzled the ears of their generation with anapæsts and other four-time measures, and who carried into their work a certain immediacy of feeling and imagerya certain modern passion of lifewhich even Cowper, Thompson and a few others of their time, though they had written of things around them, had scarcely attained. Quarterly critics and London moralists blinked and gasped, but at last the bars had to go down for these great radicals. And before long the extreme virtuosity of Swinburne had widened still further the musical range of the English language.
By the time Whitman appeared, the ear of the average readerthat formidable personwas attuned to anapæsts, dactyls, choriambics, sapphics, rhymed or unrhymed. He could not call them by name, but he was docile to all possible intricacies of pattern in any closely woven metrical scheme. But Whitman gave him a new shock. Here was a so-called poet who discarded all traditional patterns, and wove a carpet of his own. Once more the conservatives protested: was this poetry? and, if so, why? If poetry was not founded on the long-accepted metrical laws, then how could they distinguish it from prose, and thus keep the labels and catalogues in order? What was Whitmans alleged poetry but a kind of freakish prose, invented to set forth a dangerous anarchistic philosophy?
It would take too long to analyze the large rhythms of Whitmans free verse; but the mere fact that he wrote free verse and called it poetry, and that other poetsmen like Rossetti, Swinburne, Symonds, even the reluctant Emersonseemed to agree that it was poetry, this fact alone was, in the opinion of the conservatives, a challenge to four centuries of English poets. And this challenge, repeated by later poets, compels us to inquire briefly into the origins of English poetry, in the effort to get behind and underneath the instinctive prejudice that English poetry, to be poetry, must conform to prescribed metres.
Chaucer, great genius that he was, an aristocrat by birth and breeding, and a democrat by feeling and sympathyChaucer may have had it in his power to turn the whole stream of English poetry into either the French or the Anglo-Saxon channel. Knowing and loving the old French epics better than the Norse sagas, he naturally chose the French channel, and he was so great and so beloved that his world followed him. Thus there was no longer any questionthe iambic measure and rhyme, both dear to the French-trained ears of Englands Norman masters, became fixed as the standard type of poetic form.
But it was possibly a toss-upthe scale hung almost even in that formative fourteenth century. If Chaucers contemporary Langlandthe great democrat, revolutionist, mystichad had Chaucers authority and universal sympathy, English poetry might have followed his example instead of Chaucers; and Shakespeare, Milton and the rest might have been impelled by common practice to useor modifythe curious, heavy, alliterative measure of
Piers Ploughman,
which now sounds so strange to our ears:
In a somer seson,
When softe was the sonne,
I shoop me into shroudes
As I a sheep weere;
In habite as an heremite
Unholy of werkes,
Wente wide in this world
Wondres to here.
Though we must rejoice that Chaucer prevailed with his French forms, Langland reminds us that poetryeven English poetryis older than rhyme, older than the iambic measure, older than all the metrical patterns which now seem so much a part of it. If our criticism is to have any value, it must insist upon the obvious truth that poetry existed before the English language began to form itself out of the débris of other tongues, and that it now exists in forms of great beauty among many far-away peoples who never heard of our special rules.
Perhaps the first of these disturbing influences from afar to be felt in modern English poetry was the Celtic renascence, the wonderful revival of interest in old Irish song, which became manifest in translations and adaptations of the ancient Gaelic lyrics and epics, made by W. B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, Douglas Hyde and others.
This influence was most powerful because it came to us directly, not at second-hand, through the English work of two poets of genius, Synge and Yeats. These great men, fortified and inspired by the simplicity and clarity of primitive Celtic song, had little patience with the over-appareled art of Tennyson and his imitators. They found it stiffened by rhetoric, by a too conscious morality leading to pulpit eloquence, and by second-hand bookish inspirations; and its movement they found hampered, thwarted of freedom, by a too slavish acceptance of ready-made schemes of metre and rhyme. The surprises and irregularities, found in all great art because they are inherent in human feeling, were being ruled out of English poetry, which consequently was stiffening into forms too fixed and becoming more and more remote from life. As Mr. Yeats said in Chicago:
We were weary of all this. We wanted to get rid not only of rhetoric but of poetic diction. We tried to strip away everything that was artificial, to get a style like speech, as simple as the simplest prose, like a cry of the heart.
It is scarcely too much to say that the new poetryif we may be allowed the phrasebegan with these two great Irish masters. Think what a contrast to even the simplest lyrics of Tennyson the pattern of their songs presents, and what a contrast their direct outright human feeling presents to the somewhat culture-developed optimism of Browning, and the science-inspired pessimism of Arnold. Compared with these Irishmen the best of their predecessors seem literary. This statement does not imply any measure of ultimate values, for it is still too early to estimate them. One may, for example, believe Synge to be the greatest poet-playwright in English since Shakespeare, and one of the great poets of the world; but a few more decades must pass before such ranking can have authority.
At the same time other currents were influencing progressive minds toward even greater freedom of form. Strangely enough, Whitmans influence was felt first in France. It reached England, and finally America, indirectly from Paris, where the poets, stimulated by translations of the great American, especially Bajazettes, and by the ever-adventurous quality of French scholarship, have been experimenting with free verse ever since Mallarmé. The great Irish poets felt the French influenceit was part of the education which made them realize that English poetry had become narrow, rigid, and insular. Yeats has held usually, though never slavishly, to rhyme and a certain regularity of metrical formin which, however, he makes his own tunes; but Synge wrote his plays in that wide borderland between prose and verse, in a form which, whatever one calls it, is essentially poetry, for it has passion, glamour, magic, rhythm, and glorious imaginative life.
This borderland between prose and verse is being explored now as never before in English; except, perhaps in the King James translation of the Bible. The modern vers-libertines, as they have been wittily called, are doing pioneer work in an heroic effort to get rid of obstacles that have hampered the poet and separated him from his audience. They are trying to make the modern manifestations of poetry less a matter of rules and formulæ, and more a thing of the spirit, and of organic as against imposed, rhythm. In this enthusiastic labor they are following not only a strong inward impulse, not only the love of freedom which Chaucer followedand Spenser and Shakespeare, Shelley and Coleridge and all the mastersbut they are moved also by influences from afar. They have studied the French
of the nineties, and the more recent Parisian
Moreover, some of them have listened to the pure lyricism of the Provençal troubadours, have studied the more elaborate mechanism of early Italian sonneteers and canzonists, have read Greek poetry from a new angle of vision; and last, but perhaps most important of all, have bowed to winds from the East.
In the nineteenth century the western worldthe western æsthetic worlddiscovered the orient. Someone has said that when Perry knocked at the gates of Japan, these opened, not to let us in, but to let the Japanese out. Japanese graphic art, especially, began almost at once to kindle progressive minds. Whistler, of course, was the first great creative artist to feel the influence of their instinct for balance and proportion, for subtle harmonies of color and line, for the integrity of beauty in art as opposed to the moralizing and sentimental tendencies which had been intruding more and more.
Poetry was slower than the graphic arts to feel the oriental influence, because of the barrier of language. But European scholarship had long dabbled with Indian, Persian and Sanskrit literatures, and Fitzgerald even won over the crowd to some remote suspicion of their beauty by meeting Omar half-way, and making a great poem out of the marriage, not only of two minds, but of two literary traditions. Then a few airs from Japan blew ina few translations of
and other formswhich showed the stark simplicity and crystal clarity of the art among Japanese poets. And of late the search has gone further: we begin to discover a whole royal line of Chinese poets of a thousand or more years ago; and we are trying to search out the secrets of their delicate and beautiful art. The task is difficult, because our poets, ignorant of Chinese, have to get at these masters through the literal translations of scholars. But even by this round-about way, poets like Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Helen Waddell and a few others, give us something of the rare flavor, the special exquisite perfume, of the original. And of late the Indian influence has been emphasized by the great Bengali poet and sage, Rabindranath Tagore, whose mastery of English makes him a poet in two languages.
This oriental influence is to be welcomed because it flows from deep original streams of poetic art. We should not be afraid to learn from it; and in much of the work of the imagists, and other radical groups, we find a more or less conscious, and more or less effective, yielding to that influence. We find something of the oriental directness of vision and simplicity of diction, also now and then a hint of the unobtrusive oriental perfection of form and delicacy of feeling.
All these influences, which tend to make the art of poetry, especially poetry in English, less provincial, more cosmopolitan, are by no means a defiance of the classic tradition. On the contrary, they are an endeavor to return to it at its great original sources, and to sweep away artificial lawsthe
obiter dicta
of secondary mindswhich have encumbered it. There is more of the great authentic classic tradition, for example, in the
Spoon River Anthology
than in the
Idylls of the King, Balaustians Adventure,
Sohrab and Rustum
combined. And the free rhythms of Whitman, Mallarmé, Pound, Sandburg and others, in their inspired passages, are more truly in line with the biblical, the Greek, the Anglo-Saxon, and even the Shakespearean tradition, than all the exact iambics of Dryden and Pope, the patterned alexandrines of Racine, or the closely woven metrics of Tennyson and Swinburne.
Whither the new movement is leading no one can tell with exactness, nor which of its present manifestations in England and America will prove permanently valuable. But we may be sure that the movement is toward greater freedom of spirit and form, and a more enlightened recognition of the international scope, the cosmopolitanism, of the great art of poetry, of which the English language, proud as its record is, offers but a single phase. As part of such a movement, even the most extravagant experiments, the most radical innovations, are valuable, for the moment at least, as an assault against prejudice. And some of the radicals of to-day will be, no doubt, the masters of to-morrowa phenomenon common in the history of the arts.
It remains only to explain the plan of this anthology, its inclusions and omissions.
It has seemed best to include no poems published before 1900, even though, as in a few cases, the poets were moved by the new impulses. For example, those two intensely modern, nobly impassioned, lyric poets, Emily Dickinson and the Shropshire Lad (Alfred Edward Housman)the one dead, the other fortunately still livingboth belong, by date of publication, to the nineties. The work of poets already, as it were, enshrinedwhether by fame, or death, or bothhas also not been quoted: poets whose works are already, in a certain sense, classics, and whose books are treasured by all lovers of the artlike Synge and Moody and Riley, too early gone from us, and William Butler Yeats, whose later verse is governed, even more than his earlier, by the new austerities.
Certain other omissions are more difficult to explain, because they may be thought to imply a lack of consideration which we do not feel. The present Laureate, Robert Bridges, even in the late eighties and early nineties, was led by his own personal taste, especially in his
Shorter Poems,
toward austere simplicity of subject, diction and style. But his most representative poems were written before 1900. Rudyard Kipling has been inspired at times by the modern muse, but his best poems also antedate 1900. This is true also of Louise Imogen Guiney and Bliss Carman, though most of their work, like that of Arthur Symons and the late Stephen Phillips and Anna Hempstead Branch, belongs, by its affinities, to the earlier period. And Alfred Noyes, whatever the date of his poems, bears no immediate relation to the more progressive modern movement in the art.
On the other hand, we have tried to be hospitable to the adventurous, the experimental, because these are the qualities of pioneers, who look forward, not backward, and who may lead on, further than we can see as yet, to new domains of the ever-conquering spirit of beauty.
A word about the typography of this volume. No rigid system of lineation, indention, etc., has been imposed upon the poets who very kindly lend us their work. For example, sonnets are printed with or without indention according to the individual preference of the poet; also other rhymed forms, such as quatrains rhyming alternately; as well as various forms of free verse. Punctuation and spelling are more uniform, although a certain liberty has been conceded in words like
the color of which seems to vary wish flu spelling, and in the use of dots, dashes, commas, colons, etc.

HONOLULU – U.S. Rep. Mazie Hirono has won the Democratic primary in Hawaii for an open U.S. Senate seat, setting up a race in November against former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle.
Hirono bested former U.S. Rep. Ed Case on Saturday night to set up a rematch of sorts against Lingle. Lingle beat Hirono 10 years ago to become Hawaii's chief executive, then went on to serve eight years.
Lingle won her primary easily. Republicans hope she can swing the solidly blue state their way in the party's quest to pick up four seats and majority power in the U.S. Senate.
Lingle enters the general election as the underdog but having raised more funds thus far than Hirono.
Hirono had nearly 58 percent of the vote with 70 percent of precincts reporting.

Orcus Patera is an enigmatic elliptical depression near Mars's equator, in the eastern hemisphere of the planet. Located between the volcanoes of Elysium Mons and Olympus Mons, its formation remains a mystery. Often overlooked, this well-defined depression extends approximately 380 by 140 kilometres in a north-northeast to south-southwest direction. It has a rim that rises up to 1800 metres above the surrounding plains, while the floor of the depression lays 400 to 600 metres below the surroundings
The High-Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on board the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter acquired the images during Mars Express orbits 2216 and 2238. The images show an area centred at approximately 14°N / 177°E, and have a ground resolution of about 30 metres per pixel. The camera is operated by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR).
The term 'patera' is used for deep, complex or irregularly shaped volcanic craters such as the Hadriaca Patera and Tyrrhena Patera at the north-eastern margin of the Hellas impact basin. However, despite its name and the fact that it is positioned near volcanoes, the actual origin of Orcus Patera remains unclear.
Aside from volcanism, there are a number of other possible origins. Orcus Patera may be a large and originally round impact crater, subsequently deformed by compressive forces. Alternatively, it could have formed after the erosion of aligned impact craters. However, the most likely explanation is that it was made in an oblique impact, when a small body struck the surface at a very shallow angle, perhaps less than five degrees above the horizontal.
The existence of tectonic forces at Orcus Patera is evident from the presence of the numerous 'graben', rift-valley-like structures that cut across its rim. Up to 2.5 kilometres wide, these graben are oriented roughly east-west and are only visible on the rim and the nearby surroundings.
Within the Orcus Patera depression itself, the large graben are not visible, probably having been covered by later deposits. But smaller graben are present, indicating that several tectonic events have occurred in this region and also suggesting that multiple episodes of deposition have taken place.
The occurrence of 'wrinkle ridges' within the depression proves that not only extensional forces, as would be needed to create graben, but also compressive forces shaped this region. Wind-driven processes probably formed the dark shapes near the centre of the depression, where dark material excavated by small impact events in the depression has been redistributed.
However, the presence of graben and wrinkle-ridges has no bearing on the origin of Orcus Patera, as both can be found all over Mars. The true origin of Orcus Patera remains an enigma.
The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) experiment on the European Space Agency's Mars Express mission is led by the Principal Investigator (PI) Prof. Dr Gerhard Neukum, who was also responsible for the technical design of the camera. The science team of the experiment consists of 45 Co-Investigators from 32 institutions and 10 nations. The camera was developed at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) under the leadership of the PI, G. Neukum, and built in cooperation with industrial partners (EADS Astrium, Lewicki Microelectronic GmbH and Jena-Optronik GmbH). The experiment on Mars Express is operated by the DLR Institute of Planetary Research, through ESA/ESOC. The systematic processing of the HRSC image data is carried out at DLR. The scenes shown here were processed by the PI-group at the Institute for Geosciences of the Freie Universität Berlin in cooperation with the DLR Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin.

NEW YORK, NY, November 19, 2009 — Citi Field, the new home of the New York Mets, is being hailed as one of the nation's premier ballparks. But designing a sound system for the stadium, which holds 42,000 fans, was no easy feat, especially considering its unique challenges.
The space had been called one of the worst RF nightmares in the country. "If ever there was a recipe for wireless disaster, we seemed to have all the ingredients," said senior field engineer David Potts of TSI Global, the firm charged with implementing the system. "We're within 2 ½ miles of LaGuardia Airport," Potts pointed out, citing the potential RF interference. "As if that's not bad enough, we're only 7 ½ direct, line-of-sight miles from the Empire State Building and all of the DTV transmissions emanating from its rooftop."
A team from Dallas-based WJHW set out to design the new audio system, with the goal of delivering smooth, even coverage across every nook-and-cranny of the stadium, from the service areas through the press box, out onto the field, into the grandstands, then back to the most far-flung concourses. The design team turned to Shure to make it happen. They chose 24 channels of Shure wireless. Dual-channel UR4D receivers serve as the backbone of the wireless plan, with an assortment of UR2 handheld and UR1 bodypack transmitters. Outfitted with an automatic IR sync feature, the handheld transmitters can be put to work with interchangeable Shure SM58®, SM86, SM87A, Beta 58A®, Beta 87A, Beta 87C, and KSM9 capsules.
The wireless schematic uses frequency coordination supplied from Shure's Niles, Illinois, headquarters. When TSI Global engineers began installation, they followed Shure's frequency coordination plot to the letter. Employing a selection of handheld transmitters outfitted with a number of different capsules from the Shure catalog, the system relies upon directional UA870 UHF paddle antennas to link microphone users with the UHF-R® receivers. Very few adjustments had to be made to the frequency selections Shure suggested, even after the FCC-mandated DTV transition on June 12.
"We went into this like any project," said Potts, "with the belief that it's our job to make the system perform for the client exactly the way the designer envisioned it would. In this environment, a lot of demands are being made on the wireless system. Shure helped us meet those demands in a simple, straightforward, and reliable fashion. There were no issues reported whatsoever throughout the season, and trust me, I would have heard about them if there were."
As a result of the versatility designed into the WJHW system, audio now knows no barriers at Citi Field. The Shure wireless system enables fans in every corner of the stadium to hear each crack of the bat, and, with the help of the ballpark's big screen displays, even listen in on and watch interviews being conducted in the locker room.
TSI Global is now slated to manage installation projects for other pro sports teams, including baseball's Minnesota Twins and hockey's Pittsburgh Penguins. Based on the success of the Citi Field system, the TSI team will again use Shure wireless systems to ensure top-notch sound in both spaces.

Antioxidant Supplements Fuel Lung Cancer in MiceJan 31, 2014
Swedish researchers have found that giving antioxidant supplements to mice with small lung tumors caused the tumors to grow more quickly, become more invasive, and kill the mice faster than tumors in mice not given the supplements. The researchers say the findings point to a need for more research to determine the value and safety of these supplements in people.
Antioxidants are made by plants and are found in fruits, vegetables, beans, and grains. Because eating a wide variety of plant-based foods has been shown to provide many health benefits including lowering cancer risk, some people speculate that taking antioxidant supplements can help prevent many health problems. However, scientific evidence has not been able to show that taking supplements is as good for long-term health as eating the foods they come from.
Some of the better-known antioxidants include beta carotene, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and vitamin E. Most studies involving antioxidants have disappointed researchers hoping to find a disease-fighting powerhouse. For example, studies have shown that taking large amounts of vitamin E not only does not prevent prostate cancer, it may actually increase the risk. Other studies found a link between beta carotene and lung cancer.
Colleen Doyle, MS, RD, Director of Nutrition and Physical Activity at the American Cancer Society, says a distinction has to be made between antioxidant supplements and the foods they come from. "A number of trials which gave high-dose beta carotene supplements to people at high risk for lung cancer were actually stopped early because those people were developing lung cancer at higher rates," she said. "Foods rich in beta carotene may be helpful in reducing the risk of lung cancer, but much of the research on beta carotene supplements suggests quite the opposite, at least for subgroups of the population."
In the Swedish study, researchers compared the effects on mice of a normal diet to a diet with either additional vitamin E or a relatively low doses of acetylcysteine. Acetylcysteine is an antioxidant that is sometimes prescribed to people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to thin out their mucous and help them breathe better. The mice were exposed to a virus that causes lung tumors to develop. More and worse tumors developed in the mice exposed to the antioxidant supplements than in the mice fed a normal diet.
"The take-home message from these trials is that antioxidants do not protect against cancer," said study author Martin O. Bergö, PhD. "It may even increase the risk of some forms of cancer."
The study was published January 29, 2014 in Science Translational Medicine.
Antioxidants, lung cancer, and people
In addition to studying antioxidants in mice, the researchers also tested antioxidants on human lung cancer cells in the laboratory. They found similar results: The antioxidants increased the growth of human lung cancer cells. According to Bergö, this suggests the findings might apply to people with lung cancer.
"If you have lung cancer or an increased risk of developing lung cancer, for example if you are a smoker or if you have a lung disorder like COPD, taking extract antioxidants might be harmful. If you have a small, undiagnosed lung tumor, it could speed up the growth of the tumor."
Bergö emphasized that recommendations for the general population cannot be made based on the study, which did not test antioxidant supplements in people. He said the findings raise questions about the safety of antioxidant supplements and demonstrate the need for more research. He said further study is especially needed to determine whether acetylcysteine is causing an increased risk of lung cancer in people with COPD.
According to Doyle, while there is not good evidence that antioxidant supplements are helpful in reducing cancer risk, and in some cases may be harmful, it's also important to consider the fact that many people who are being treated for a chronic disease, such as cancer, are also taking supplements. Doyle said this is an issue patients should discuss with their health care team. "Some types of supplements may interfere with or counteract the treatment that is being given, so patients should absolutely discuss this issue with their doctors, and make an informed decision on whether a particular supplement – first and foremost – is safe for them to take."
Antioxidants in food
According to Bergö, people should not stop eating fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains because of the study. "You'd have to eat a lot of antioxidant-rich foods to get up to the levels of the supplements," he said. "Nothing in the research points a finger at antioxidant-rich foods."
In fact, the American Cancer Society recommends a primarily plant-based diet that includes at least 2½ cups of vegetables and fruits each day and whole-grain rather than refined-grain foods. According to Doyle, this recommendation is based on many different studies showing a positive benefit in reducing the risk of a variety of different types of cancer. "Focus on eating colorful fruits, vegetables and whole grains each day. It's likely that the synergy of all those nutrients working together is what is helpful in reducing cancer risk, and you just can't get that out of supplement."

It has such a strong stigma that potential suicide risks, teenagers in particular, might be exhibiting all the signs of depression, isolation and 180-degree behavior change in a vacuum.
Few know how to help.
The problems of suicide are acute in San Joaquin County, where:
� Ten percent of the 707 deaths investigated by the county coroner in 2011, the most recent year of compiled data, were suicides.
� According to kidsdata.org,, about 20 percent of those suicides involved people 15 to 24 years old.
� The county's youth-suicide rate is higher than the California average: 7.6 per 100,000 residents vs. 7.2.
� More than 150 young people from 5 to 20 were hospitalized in the county in 2011 for self-inflicted injuries.
"Prevention is where it's at," said Lynn Tarrant, deputy director of San Joaquin County mental-health services. "We need to do more before it's a crisis, before hospitalization. Nobody wants a kid to die on their watch - not a teacher, not a pastor, not a health-care provider."
To that end, the Office of Education and San Joaquin County Behavioral Health Services are putting on the county's first Suicide Prevention Symposium on Thursday.
The goal is simple: to equip people to identify the signs early, to be confident in intervention and to know and access available resources.
"There's a need for this symposium," Tarrant said. "We have concern for our young people who are making a choice of suicide."
The keynote speaker is Richard Lieberman, coordinator of the youth-suicide prevention unit for the Los Angeles County Office of Education.
Participants also will learn about QPR, an acronym that stands for Question, Persuade, Refer - a three-step process designed to save lives. Developed in 1995, QPR is an emergency mental-health intervention that can be employed by anyone.
It is not unlike CPR in that it can be taught and used to save lives. Its three steps are:
� Question: Recognize the warning signs of suicide.
� Persuade: Know how to offer hope.
� Refer: Know how to get help and save a life.
The public-health dynamic for assistance to troubled young people and their families has changed in recent years because of government funding cutbacks.
"In the past, teachers who saw behavior changes would refer students to counselors," said Sheri Coburn, director of comprehensive health programs for the county Office of Education.
"Now they are referring them to county mental health and to crisis lines."
Coburn and Tarrant believe the approach to suicide and nonsuicidal self-injury needs to become a communitywide concern.
"There are more kids in crisis, more youths hospitalized," Tarrant said. "Mental health has really expanded. We are intervening more often."
The symposium's goal is to educate a wide range of individuals: parents, neighbors, school bus drivers, church workers, anyone who works or associates with teenagers.
Tammy Souza, a Stockton-based family and marriage therapist, said young people face daunting challenges.
"There are pressures - social, academic and from their peers - that are greater for kids," Souza said. "And when they feel a lack of support or feel isolated with no one to talk to, no adult role model, sometimes in the heat of the moment, their brain switches off.
"And they make an impulsive decision - maybe to swallow a bunch of pills, maybe to cut themselves. They might be remorseful later, but the attempt has been made."

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources is planning a management deer hunt at Olin Lake Nature Preserve during the special antlerless deer firearm season from Dec. 26 through Jan. 6.
All regulations of the antlerless season will apply. The preserve will be closed to other visitors during the 12 days of the hunt. The preserve is not being opened to hunting in general.
Deer numbers continue to be excessively high at the LaGrange County nature preserve, where over browsing by deer threatens the long-term health of the property. Deer feeding has been especially damaging to white trilliums and other spring wildflowers. Olin Lake is about six miles south of LaGrange.
Ten hunters will be selected by drawing for the first six days of the special antlerless firearm season. A different set of six hunters will be drawn for the second six days of the season. No more than 10 hunters at a time will be given permits to hunt on the 116 acres of DNR property that will be open to hunting.
Applications must be picked up at one of the following locations. None will be mailed.
Pigeon River Fish and Wildlife Area Office:
Mongo, IN 46771
(260) 367-2164
LaGrange County Department of Parks and Recreation
Monday through Friday 8 am to 3:30 pm
Wolcottville, IN 46795
Phone: (260) 854-2225
Applications are due by Nov. 26 and the drawing will be Nov. 27.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cash-strapped victims of Superstorm Sandy will be able to tap their retirement accounts for hardship withdrawals and loans, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service announced on Friday.
Those with employer-provided plans, such as 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans and 457(b)deferred compensation plans, may be able to use streamlined loan procedures, the IRS said.
Those with individual retirement accounts (IRAs) may not take loans, but they may be able to take hardship withdrawals.
The IRS announcement is the latest in a string of relief measures from the tax agency, which has been deferring deadlines and easing other tax rules to help taxpayers struggling with home damage, loss of power and related troubles.
The IRS said it would trim red tape involved when account-holders try to tap retirement plans. That should help those needing cash quickly for home repairs or temporary housing.
Hardship withdrawals are typically narrowly defined, and aimed at items like funeral costs or medical expenses. But the IRS guidance says that in the case of Sandy withdrawals, they could be used for items like food and shelter as well.
The agency also said parents and other relatives who live outside the disaster area could tap retirement accounts for loans or withdrawals to help family members hurt by the storm.
People who wanted to take advantage of these fast track rules would have to make their withdrawals by February 1, 2013, the agency said.
Hardship distributions from tax-deferred accounts typically are subject to income taxes and a 10 percent early withdrawal penalty. In contrast, loans are tax free if repaid in five years or less.

With Toyota Motor Corp. (7203) back on top
as the world's largest automaker, President Akio Toyoda isn't
looking to a relative youngster like the Prius hybrid to defend
that lead. Instead, he's counting on a middle-aged veteran: the
47-year-old Corolla.
Later this year — the company hasn't said when or where —
Toyota plans to introduce a revamped version of its global best
seller, which last underwent a redesign in 2008. No launch is
more consequential for Toyota this year as the Prius isn't due
for a major change until 2014 and a new Camry sedan came out
only about a year ago.
For Toyoda, the compact will be a chance to build on
pledges to make cars that are more fun to drive and shed some of
the company's reputation for blandness. More relevant for
investors, the success of the top-selling car in history will
help determine Toyota's ability to return to the profitability
it enjoyed before the global financial crisis and the recall of
millions of vehicles.
The Corolla "might be viewed as boring by some, but for
others it's bulletproof," said Kurt Sanger, an auto analyst at
Deutsche Bank AG in Tokyo, who has a buy rating on Toyota stock.
"The profit per unit might be lower than other models, but if
you sell that many, you're going to make money."
Sanger is optimistic over Toyota's money-making prospects.
He's among a dozen analysts tracked by Bloomberg who've raised
earnings estimates for the automaker in the past month as the
tumbling yen raises the value of Japanese exports.
The Japanese currency hit 91.26 on Jan. 28, the weakest
since June 2010. Toyota's annual operating profit gains by 35
billion yen for every 1-yen drop in the value of the Japanese
currency against the dollar, according to the carmaker.
Bland Sedan
Toyota has sold more than 40 million Corollas over the
years. Though the car remained Toyota's top seller in 2012 —
estimated by the company at 1.21 million deliveries worldwide —
Corolla sales have fallen from a peak of 1.42 million units in
2006 as Honda Motor Co. (7267)'s Civic and Hyundai Motor Co. (005380)'s Elantra
won customers with fuel economy and lower prices.
The Civic overtook the Corolla as the best-selling compact
sedan in the U.S. last year, according to researcher Autodata
Corp. This year, global sales of the Corolla will probably
increase 7 percent to 1.3 million units, according to Takeshi Miyao, an analyst with researcher Carnorama Japan in Tokyo.
The declining popularity of the Corolla — described as
"bland" by Consumer Reports magazine in 2012 — has been
mirrored in the company's earnings and share price. Toyota's
profit forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31 is less than
half the amount five years ago. The stock is trading at about
half its level in 2007, when its market value ranked fourth
worldwide, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Brad Pitt
Toyota, which reports earnings next week, will probably
triple its net income to 893 billion yen ($9.8 billion) this
fiscal year and earn 1.2 trillion yen next year, according to
the average of 24 estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The Corolla,
meaning "crown of flowers" in Latin, is seen to be among the
top sellers.
"The Corolla remains incredibly important to Toyota,"
said Neil King, global head of automotive research at
Euromonitor International in London.
The car's history stretches back almost five decades, when
Eiji Toyoda, the current president's great uncle, first swept
the U.S. with a vehicle that helped the company ascend to the
top of the automotive industry.
Since the first one rolled out in 1966, Toyota has used
figures ranging from Homer Simpson to Brad Pitt to market the
car to the masses. Among them was a young man who bought a used
fourth-generation Corolla 1600GT as his first car. His name:
Akio Toyoda.
Toyota Appliance
"The car taught me the joy of driving," Toyoda, whose
grandfather founded the company in 1937, said last May at a
Corolla event in the Japanese city of Ohira. "It was like a
good friend."
Sandy Grossman, who's owned two Corollas and is in the
market for a new car for his wife, has less fond memories.
"Toyota has become the dullest car company on the
planet," said Grossman of Coral Springs, Florida. "Since the
late '90s, they have driven me away with boring vehicles that
look and feel like an appliance"
Toyota, which typically redesigns its cars every five years,
is stepping up efforts to revive interest. At the Detroit auto
show this month, it showed off the Corolla Furia concept vehicle
in a presentation punctuated by a snatch of Mariachi music and a
comedic dance by Toyota U.S. Vice President Bill Fay. The
sunburst-orange Furia, meaning "fury" in Spanish, was a few
inches longer, wider and lower slung than Corollas in
dealerships today.
Younger Target
Toyota officials at the show said the next commercially-
available Corolla will show Akio Toyoda's influence, though they
didn't provide details of its design, features, or price. Kota Yuzawa, an auto analyst at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in Tokyo,
said in a report this month that the potential changes signal a
greater focus on younger customers.
Toyota won't be able to rely on its past success to make
the next Corolla a hit as it faces intensifying competition from
South Korea's Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors Corp. (000270), General Motors
Co. (GM), Ford Motor Co. and Volkswagen AG (VOW), according to Maryann Keller, principal at consulting firm Maryann Keller Associates
in Stamford, Connecticut.
"The Corolla needs to become more interesting," Keller
said. "The same attributes that attracted shoppers 20 years ago
don't work today."

I will keep this post short. Recently we posted that the reported demise (and ensuing celebration) of American Chopper was a bit premature. It appears that our favorite juicing bike builder, Paul Teutul Sr., wasn't quite done with the limelight, despite sending Orange County Choppers merchandising into bankruptcy, alienating two of his sons, and generally making motorcyclists look like a bunch of neanderthal's with tribal tattoos, leather pants, and sleeveless shirts (we call it the Chopper Trifecta).
No, it seems someone told Paul Sr.that he should give the small screen another shot, and the Country Music Television (CMT) wanted to oblige — for reasons still not fully understood by this author. The catch though was that Paul Sr. needed a compatriot — someone to focus his mercurial temper upon, and you know…to do the actual building of the bikes. With over a month now lost in that pursuit, OCC has yet to find someone desperate enough for TV stardom to fill the spot. Huzzah!


text: Student Profiles Tom Hazel '05 Tom Hazel '05 Hometown: Easton, Massachusetts Major: Computer Science and Spanish Why did you come to Bowdoin? I came to Bowdoin because a friend of mine in high school was doing the whole college search, and she just couldn't stop talking about Bowdoin and how great it was, and she was going to go in the fall. That sort of put it on my radar, and I came up here to look around with my dad one day, and I just really liked the people here and the setting, and decided this was where I wanted to be. How did you choose your major? I knew I wanted to do something in the sciences. I tried chemistry and math, and then I just always found myself always doing my computer science homework first. That was the first thing that I really wanted to do, so I just decided to keep going with it, and make it into a major. I like the problem-solving aspect of it. You have this specific set of tools you can use and you can almost solve any problem with them. It's really exciting to see the different ways you can approach a problem. Spanish is kind of a hobby that turned into a major. I was abroad for a three-week exchange program in high school, and from that point onward, I realized I wanted to go back. When I came to Bowdoin, I didn't take any Spanish freshman year just because I wanted to try different things, but I started up again sophomore year. I really liked it, and really wanted to go back to Spain, so I did. When I came back, I realized I only had a couple more classes then I'd have the major, so I figured, "Why not?" What has been your favorite class at Bowdoin? I think my favorite class has been Robotics, this [past] fall, in the Computer Science Department, with [Assistant Professor] Stephen Majercik. It was great because it was the first year the class was offered, so it was a learning experience for both the professors and the students. We were given these Sony Aibo robotic dogs, and we worked with how to make them see and how to make them move well. Starting completely from scratch, [we tried] to make dogs that could play soccer, which didn't really work out as well as we would have liked, but it was an incredible learning experience. We all worked really hard and learned a ton. These soccer-playing dogs are a part of a competition that has gone on for, I'd say, the last five years, so the robotics class in the fall was a way for us to get our feet wet and try. Have you done any independent studies? This year I'm doing an honors project with [Assistant] Professor [Laura] Toma of the Computer Science Department, working with GIS programming, Geographic Information Systems, and with maps that are way too big to fit inside a computer's main memory and how [to] write a program to deal with that kind of problem. [This area of study is] something that I heard Professor Toma speak about when she was interviewing for [her position here]. She gave a sample lecture about it, and it's interested me from that point on. What extracurriculars do you participate in? Do you have an on-campus job? I'm one of the captains of the rugby team this year, which has been an incredible experience. It's definitely one of the best decisions I've made at Bowdoin. It's really almost like a brotherhood there, where I know that those guys are there for me both on and off the field. Everyone is coming from a lot of different backgrounds, and we come here to do other things, but we find this common thread. The competition's incredible - it's something physical [and] mental at the same time. It's an incredible experience for four years, to work on something like that. We have coaches come to practice on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and to the games, so during those practices, Truc Hunyh ['05] and I are there to be leaders and help everyone work with the coaches. But on Tuesday and Thursday, there are no coaches, so [we] run those practices and work on what we think the team needs to do. A lot of it has to do with fitness on those days. I'm also a teaching assistant for the Computer Science Department, helping out with grading some of the papers for the introductory classes. It's really nice to TA for the intro classes because I get to share my excitement about the department and about the stuff they're doing with people who might become future CS majors. I feel like I really get to affect the legacy of the department and help everyone get their feet wet and understand the cool problems there are to solve. Did you study abroad? I was in Barcelona, Spain, the spring of my junior year. It was an amazing experience. Being abroad really helped to round out my experience here at Bowdoin, and just in general as an American student. The whole point of a liberal arts education is to get a little bit of everything, and I feel like living in a different culture - I lived with a Spanish family - [helped me to] understand people in general more. Not only that, but having Americans go abroad helps with our image [in other countries] so that we're not all the ugly American stereotype. It's really good for both sides. What's your best Bowdoin memory? The one that comes to mind right away was in the fall, when the rugby team beat Colby. It's a huge rivalry between the two teams, and we'd lost the last two years. It's nice because it brings the whole four years of rugby together in one moment and shows how the hard work paid off in order to achieve a common goal with all these guys I'd been playing with [all along]. But at the same time, I know that that doesn't represent all the best moments at Bowdoin, whether you're working on a computer science project and all of a sudden you just get it and it all makes sense, or hanging out with your friends and roommates. What are your plans after graduation? I'm looking to get into the computer software design field right after school, and I'd like to look at grad school in a year or two. I'd be happy doing GIS or artificial intelligence, which is the other concentration that Bowdoin has. What advice would you give to a first year student about the Bowdoin experience? Definitely get involved in something, not just superficially. You don't have to be involved in everything, just pick a couple of things and really make a difference in those activities. Bowdoin gives you a lot of opportunity to be leaders on campus, so definitely take advantage of that. Story posted on June 13, 2005 « Back | More Student Profiles | Go to News Home

NEW YORK CITY – On Feb. 11, The International Poster Center will offer more than 400 original vintage posters from the latter half of the 20th century, in its second Modern Poster Auction. Featuring posters from around the world, this show explores the unbridled creativity that defined graphic advertising from the 1950s onward. All items are on view through Feb. 10, open and free to the public.
Aimed at first-time buyers, with many reserves as low as $50, this sale offers the unique opportunity to begin collecting edgy works of art. It is the ideal entryway into the exciting world of vintage posters.
In an age where most advertisements are created on a computer, it is easy to forget that not too long ago ads were actually created by artists – people with a creative vision and knack for grabbing the attention of the passersby. This sale is a celebration of those who kept, and to some extent still keep, the art of the poster alive during the latter half of the 20th century. From political propaganda to the psychedelic concert posters of the 1960s, from nationalist Olympic promotion to the subversive brilliance of Polish Cyrk art, this auction is a veritable treasure trove of important, vibrant, and exciting Modern images that have decorated streets around the world within our lifetime.
As the poster has always been the people's art, we feel it is necessary to show support to some of the world's least fortunate. Ten percent of all sales in this auction will be given toward relief efforts currently going on in Haiti.
Notable artists featured in this show are Richard Avedon, David Byrd, Alexander Calder, A.M. Cassandre, Ivan Chermayeff, Seymour Chwast, Henryk Tomaszewski, Paul Davis, Hans Erni, Joe Eula, Pierre Fix-Masseau, Gunter Rambow, Edward Gorey, Al Hirschfeld, E.

The Carlton, released in 1967, was born out of KEF's considerable experience in the design and manufacture of broadcast monitor systems for professional sound, film and television studios.
Tests indicated that the most critical range in a loudspeaker extended from 250 to 4000Hz, where the ear can detect very small changes level as well as quite small amounts of colouration. Key to this new system, therefore, was the M65 midrange unit, a highly sophisticated design based on a 2.5 inch hemispherical diaphragm made initially of aluminium and later changed to 'Acoustilene' (plastiflex doped bextrene). Driven at its outer edge by a 2.5" diameter voice coil working in a powerful magnetic field, the unit was highly sensitive, and some idea of its construction can be gained from the weight of the magnet structure, which was 6.5 lbs. The rear of the diaphragm was loaded by a 33" long pipe, damped with a density-tapered plug of long fibre wool. To ensure adequate power handling the voice coil former was made of aluminium with heavy copper wire encapsulated in resin.
The smooth transparency of this new mid-range unit was at once apparent. Alliance with the new T27 tweeter extended the range right up to 30kHz without directional effects and provided fatigue free reproduction of a standard far beyond that of any other loudspeaker of the time.
The woofer used to complete the system was an updated version of the well-known B1814 with its massive rectangular flat-fronted diaphragm of aluminium-skinned polystyrene, working in a highly damped and rigidly-braced, enclosed cabinet.
Fussy styling was deemed inappropriate with such a large enclosure, the simple design relying on first class cabinet work and carefully selected veneers of Teak, Rosewood (Palisander) or Walnut with a bronze grille.
