"Ten Favorite Books of Creative Criticism" Conversational Reading
"The Poetry Lesson, by Andrei Codrescu" Quarterly Conversation
Writers and critics have always approached writing about reading differently. Most of us are familiar with the latter group: the theoretical critical enterprise that has resulted in the five-paragraph essay with which all high school students are inoculated against the effects of good books. The Story About the Story series suggests an alternative: the writers' methodology. Writers have always approached writing about reading from an intensely personal perspective, incorporating their pasts and their passions into their process of interpretation. The many essays compiled in these volumes suggest an unidentified school of "creative criticism," and a possible future for how we write about reading.
The Story About the Story series offers lessons from a remarkable range of celebrated authors that amount to an invaluable course on both how to write and read well. These essays are by turns poignant, smart, suggestive, intellectual, funny, sassy, scathing, laudatory, wistful, and hopeful -- and above all deeply engaged in what Emerson called "creative reading."

MILWAUKEE -- Zack Greinke took a big step toward returning to the Brewers' rotation on Thursday by throwing off a bullpen mound at Miller Park. It was his first mound work since he was shut down in mid-March to let a cracked left rib heal.Greinke still faces weeks of rehabilitation. He will have to throw a series of bullpen sessions and perhaps simulated games before he's cleared for a Minor League rehab assignment. That process could take 10 days to two weeks. Then he will have to build his pitch count in Minor League games over the course of another three or four weeks. "He's been really throwing the ball well," said manager Ron Roenicke, adding that the Brewers will be cautious. "Once his arm is built up and strong, then you can push him." Following are some updates on the four other Brewers on the 15-day disabled list: Catcher Jonathan Lucroy was to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Huntsville on Thursday night. Defensively, he's ready to return to the Majors after missing all of Spring Training with a fractured right pinkie finger, it's merely a matter of him getting comfortable at the plate. "He's wanting to get that right, and we are, too, before he comes back here," Roenicke said. "Everybody is different, but it can be as low as five at-bats for some guys, and then as many as 30 for somebody else. It was 30 or more for me." Lucroy has been texting updates to bench coach Jerry Narron, and the team will receive daily reports from Huntsville manager Mike Guerrero. Reliever LaTroy Hawkins (shoulder) is slated to pitch on Friday for Class A Brevard County, and Manny Parra (back) on Saturday for Class A Wisconsin.
Right fielder Corey Hart (strained rib cage), who will try hitting again on Friday, told 620-AM's Trenni Kusnierek that he'll see if acupuncture helps speed his return.
Brewers don't expect DL stint for Saito
MILWAUKEE -- Veteran reliever Takashi Saito remained unavailable to pitch on Thursday because of a sore left hamstring, but it does not appear that the right-hander will need to spend time on the disabled list."I would be very surprised if that happened," manager Ron Roenicke said. "We're just hoping it's a couple of days." Saito had a similar issue in Spring Training, which delayed his unofficial Brewers debut, as well as during last season with Atlanta, when hamstring soreness preceded a shoulder injury that kept him off the Braves' postseason roster. Saito was hurt facing his final batter of a forgettable home opener in which he surrendered two home runs and took the loss. He plans to be very careful this time. "I'm not too sure [how long I will be sidelined]," Saito said through his translator. "I'm only playing catch. I haven't thrown off the mound yet." Saito's thoughts on Thursday morning were once again back in Japan, where another large earthquake struck near his hometown, Sendai. He was still trying to gather information on the well being of his family members, including his parents, as the Brewers prepared to play their series finale with the Braves.
Estrada could join Brewers' regular rotation
MILWAUKEE -- Right-hander Marco Estrada will remain with the Brewers after his effective start on Wednesday, and he could pitch again earlier than April 16, the next date the club originally expected to next need a fifth starter."We're trying to still figure that out," manager Ron Roenicke said. "It's a possibility that he could end up being in the rotation to try to push back some of the other starters so they're not always on their fifth day. Sometimes they may be on their sixth. We're looking at it." Estrada allowed four runs in six innings during his season debut on Wednesday and would have had a real gem had he not surrendered a three-run homer to the Braves' Jason Heyward in the sixth inning. It marked the first time the team needed a fifth starter to fill the void left by Zack Greinke's rib injury, and going forward, because of an off-day Monday, the club could get by with its four other starting pitchers until April 16, at Washington. If the club opts to slot Estrada into a regular five-man rotation, he could start on April 12 at Pittsburgh instead. The decision will be based on a number of factors, including the outcome of Shaun Marcum's start on Thursday and the upcoming availability of reliever Takashi Saito, who was still out Thursday because of a sore left hamstring.
Last call
Nyjer Morgan, off to a nice start for the Brewers, started in right field on Thursday alongside center fielder Carlos Gomez. But manager Ron Roenicke didn't bump Gomez from the two-hole in the starting lineup. "It's way too early to make decisions on where guys are going to be," Roenicke said. "I watched Gomez hit all spring, and he was really consistent in what he was doing. I know he got out of that a little bit for a couple of games. We'll see what happens. I'm not saying we're going to stay with Gomez the whole year [hitting] second, but as long as I like what he's doing and Dale [Sveum, the hitting coach] likes what he's doing, I think that's a good spot for him." ... Left-hander Dan Merklinger has cleared waivers and been assigned outright to Double-A Huntsville. The team designated Merklinger for assignment on Wednesday to clear a spot for right-hander Marco Estrada on the 40-man roster.

I hosted this #webinar on May 27th/2014 for Canadians interested in getting their most common questions about wills and estates answered. I had convinced Manitoba lawyer and estate specialist Caroline Kiva to have a 45 -60 minute digital fireside chat. Question and answer style, but NOT as creepy as most politicians She did an excellent job answering the following questions…
The Basics
- What is typically involved in establishing an estate plan? And which professionals are typically involved?
- Why do I need a Will and what happens if I die without a Will?
- For clients who have minor children, are there specific provisions in the Will that need to be addressed?
- Why do I need a Power of Attorney?
The Nitty Gritty
- Can you comment on when Joint tenancy is most applicable for clients?
- How do I transfer assets such as Cottage, Investment Account, Business to the next generation?
- Briefly what are some points to consider for clients purchasing U.S. real estate?
- Will there be taxes that may also have to be paid on death?
- Do you recommend insurance as part of estate planning?
- Recently the 2014 budget announcement indicated a change to the taxation of testamentary trusts. Can you briefly outline those changes?
- Can you outline some non-taxable benefits reasons to still consider using testamentary trusts in an estate plan?
- Can you outline some of the expenses that arise during the administration of an estate?

text: Studio Bel Vetro Creates Upscale Blown Glass Lighting Chatting About Jellyfish Pendants, Blown Bauble Chandeliers and More With Studio Bel Vetro by Elka Karl 12/09/10 0 Reactions 35 Shares Print 12 20 3 0 0 Lisa Spinelli and Paulo DeLima, the artistic forces between Studio Bel Vetro, a custom-made glass lighting studio, met in a rather fairy-tale-worthy manner. Lisa recalls, "I was taking a glassblowing class and Paulo nonchalantly walked into the studio. It turned out he was the studio manager there and also a teacher. It was love at first sight." Fast forward a few years, and Lisa and Paulo's beautifully blown chandeliers and pendants now grace a number of upscale residences and businesses, including the W Hotels and Guess, Inc. Lisa started her career as a professional ballet dancer and spent time as a photographer before finding her calling with Studio Bel Vetro. Paulo has been blowing glass for 10 years, and has taught this art extensively. The duo recently gave me a peek at their amazing work, and chatted with me about their amazing lighting designs. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CasaSugar: I've watched artisans blow glass before, and always been fascinated by the process. What does it feel like to create a blown glass pendant or chandelier? Paulo DeLima: I am usually concentrating to the point where I am not aware of much else, I am a perfectionist, and get lost in the precision and the details of the form I am working on. Physically it's demanding. Obviously it's hot. Lisa Spinella: When I am assisting Paulo with a piece, I am running around a lot, bringing gathers of glass to him, taking heats on the glass while he is shaping it. It definitely keeps me in shape. Buff arms at least. There are many times when the glass gets too heavy. We have a strong assistant that also works with us. 1 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What are your favorite elements to design and craft? PDL: I am a process guy. I like to work things out, take it apart, put it back together, take it apart again. I enjoy having the skill in my hands to make what we envision. It's very satisfying to see a 2-d sketch on paper, and later see it actualized in glass. LS: I think everything has to have a certain quality of beauty. For me it's not the actual making but the conceptualizing, and a desire to design something different, exciting, or interesting. 2 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Lisa, you started your career as a ballerina. Are there any corollaries between ballet and lighting design? LS: There are between ballet and actually blowing glass. Both require dexterity, really good timing, and extensive training. Blowing glass is about teamwork — two people working in sync. We have been told it looks like a silent dance when we work together. Paulo leads, and I respond to his moves, anticipating the next one. It's not always silent, there is a lot of shouting going on at times. We have our biggest fights in the hot shop. PDL: Lisa is very opinionated, but in the hot shop I am the boss. LS: Debatable. Next question... 3 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: I love the cascading bubbles over the bathroom tubs at the W Hotel Residences. How did you come up with this design? LS: This was a variation of our existing bubbles chandeliers. It was the designer's idea to put it in the bathroom. We covered the entire ceiling above the tub with the canopy. We loaded it up with bubbles and hung them very low. You have to duck to get into the tub. Also this was the first time we used silver leaf on many of the bubbles. I thought they should shimmer like soap bubbles. A bubble bath gone wild. 4 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: How are the metallics incorporated into the glass, such as in the Guess chandelier project? Is it just a different base for the blown glass? How long does it take to create one of your more elaborate chandeliers, such as the Guess chandelier? PDL: We blew the spheres in clear glass, then we used a mirroring solution on the inside of the spheres. We came up with a new mirroring color by mixing different solutions to get an interesting coppery gold effect. Those chandeliers took about two months each to make. There were a lot of structural elements. The canopies and the lighting system were complex. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: The columns from the Las Vegas project are amazing! You write that you "struggled with the laws of physics" while creating the prototype. Was there any breakthrough moment, or was it just a slow process of discovery? LS: This was classic "if at first you don't succeed..." We thought we had it figured out, hung the entire column only to watch it contract and collapse inward from its own weight. That irritating little thing called gravity! The breakthrough moment was when we realized that the structural elements were going to have to also be a decorative design element. It was ultimately much more interesting. PDL: A huge challenge was getting the glass rods cut, each to their own exact length and bias. It all fits together like perfect puzzle pieces, and not one element can be off by a tolerance of more than 1/4 of an inch, or it throws the whole shape and weight distribution off. I used a 3-D computer model to measure and number each rod. 6 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Some of your pieces, as directed by the client, feature whimsical designs, such as the schools of fish, marlin, and jellyfish from "The Fish Project." What's the most out-of-the-box piece you've been commissioned to make? PDL: The school of pompano, which was also the most challenging to make. How to get the individual fish to not only look natural, but function as a light fixture as well. Our solution was to cover two parallel sheets of Plexiglas with the fish bodies, and light it with LEDs from inside. LS: Another hard part was getting the fish to look somewhat realistic, and not like cartoons. Some of the early prototype fish have silly little expressions on their faces. Actually some of them still do. They have personalities. 7 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Speaking of The Fish Project, what was the hardest part of fabricating the various lighting pieces? Was one design in particular more challenging? PDL: I am very proud of the sail fish. It was made in two sections — the body and then the head. The body was as large as we could possibly make it. Adding the large back fin took seriously good timing and precision to keep it from overheating and collapsing, or getting too cold and breaking. As for the head, after it was made it took hours of grinding and polishing the seam to get it to fit, it challenged all our aspects of glass making. 8 / 9 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Any big projects on the horizon? LS: We are working on a project for a stunning ocean front estate on the North Shore of Boston. My favorite fixture in the house will be the dining room chandelier. It looks like hanging vines made of forged brass with polished faceted "buds". PDL: This might be Lisa's best design yet. LS: Aw, thanks P. Except now I have to figure out how to make it. 9 / 9 12 20 3 0 0 Read More GalleryEditor's PickLightingInspiration Inspiration 15 Gorgeous Ways to Style Sheepskin 1 day ago Best DIY Projects For Home Decorating 2 days ago Inspired Headboard Alternatives 3 days ago Drink Up!

College Office Board Room
Maryann Anderson
Nicholas Akinkuoye
|Ping'an Wang
Rebecca Harmon
Kevin Smay
Randy Gaab
Gordon Crocker, College Council Chair, called the meeting to order at 2:33 PM. Mr. Crocker reported that Allyson Todd will be replacing John Glenn who has retired from the College.
Cyndi Syskowski made a motion to approve the minutes of the January 12th, 2006 meeting of College Council. Charles Blocksidge seconded the motion. The minutes were approved as amended.
A. Curriculum Subcommittee
Computer Forensics Technology Certificate program
Mr. Ping'an Wang was in attendance to present the proposal for the new Computer Forensics Technology Certificate Program. The program is a 3-semester, 19 credit program for those working in the field of law enforcement as well as corporate computer security.
Mr. Wang who is a CIT faculty member has met with Charles Noel and other Criminal Justice faculty to design the program and they are all in agreement.
Some faculty may ask students to sign an ethics agreement at the beginning of the program. Student must, however, undergo a Pennsylvania State Police criminal history check prior to their registering for CIT 280 in the 3rd semester. The students pay approximately $10 for this test. Council members questioned why it was necessary to wait until the 3rd semester to administer this test. Mr. Wang explained that CIT 280 teaches such skills as password cracking, decryption and email and network intrusion. Courses prior to this are not as sensitive. Other colleges with similar programs require criminal history checks.
Council members discussed the ability of the College to deny someone access to a course based upon their criminal record. Randy Gaab, Director of Safety, Security, who attended the meeting to address this question, said that if students have a felony there should be no problem with the College denying access to such a sensitive course. He will consult with a College attorney on this matter.
Toni Carney moved to accept the proposal. Joanne Jeffcoat seconded the motion. Mrs. Carney and Mrs. Jeffcoat amended the motion to accept the proposal under these conditions: the words "and criminal history check" are to be deleted from the prerequisites in the second semester for CIT 180 and CIT 181; the sentence "Students with felony convictions will be denied continuation in the program" will be added to the requirements to continue on to the third semester; and that a College attorney review and approve the denial to continue because of a felony conviction. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Crocker requested a new cover sheet with original signatures because the title of the proposal was incomplete, as well as a corrected page 3 of the proposal.
Catalog Corrections to the Manufacturing Engineering Program (707) and the Manufacturing Technology Program (705.2)
There was no one in attendance to present the proposal and there were several errors in the calculations of the credits. Rita Gallegos made a motion to accept the proposal. Maryann Anderson seconded the proposal. The motion was withdrawn. Mary Francis Archey made a motion to table the proposal. Maura Stevenson seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Deletion of Invasive Cardiovascular Technology (480) program and specific CVT courses
Rebecca Harmon was in attendance to present the proposal. This Program has not run in the last 5 years due to lack of attendance. The subject matter is included in other programs and students are cross-trained, therefore the consensus was to eliminate it.
During the discussion it was discovered that the program and courses have already been eliminated from the catalog which is a violation of the rules of governance and should not have been done.
Mr. Crocker noted that the implementation dates on the proposal are incorrect and the cover sheet with original signatures must be redone. Also, Kathy Malloy must sign as Vice President for the area rather than Wendy Weiner.
Joanne Jeffcoat made a motion to accept the proposal. Rhonda Sansone seconded the motion and the proposal passed unanimously.
Deletion of Electroneurodiagnostic Technologist (471) program and specific EEG courses
Rebecca Harmon presented this proposal. The Program and courses are being deleted because of lack of enrollment and lack of interest. The Program and courses have already been eliminated from the catalog which is a violation of the rules of governance. The implementation dates need to be corrected and new original signatures are needed for the cover sheet. Maura Stevenson made a motion to accept the proposal. Maryann Anderson seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
Deletion of Anesthesia Technology (461) program and specific Anesthesia courses
Rebecca Harmon presented this proposal. The Program and courses are being deleted because of low enrollment due to on the job training at most hospitals. The Program and courses have already been eliminated from the catalog which is a violation of the rules of governance. The implementation dates need to be corrected and new original signatures are needed for the cover sheet. Barbara Thompson made a motion to accept the proposal. Charles Blocksidge seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
B. Academic Standards and Student Affairs Subcommittee
Procedures for Submitting Proposals to the Academic Standards and Student Affairs
Toni Carney expressed a willingness to work on the procedures for the CCAC website and thanked Barbara Thompson for summarizing the procedure so well in the minutes for the January 12th meeting. Council members agreed that the procedures and generic forms relevant to all Subcommittees need to be on the web. Every Subcommittee should have their own link complete with a description of the responsibilities. Toni Carney will work on a draft for the web and a generic cover sheet for the next meeting. There is no webmaster now so having something new posted to the website may be problematic; however Judy Foster in the AFT office might be able to help.
C. Research and Development Subcommittee
Maura Stevenson reported on the following issues discussed at the Subcommittee meeting on January 19th.
Overview of the IA Process
Kevin Smay gave an update on the Institutional Assessment process. The College is doing a good job of getting the word out about the process.
Annual Report and Overview of the "State of Distance Learning"
Jeanette Blackston gave a brief PowerPoint presentation. Of particular notes was that distance learning courses have increased from 9 in the Fall of 1997 to 179 in the Fall of 2005. Also the following degrees and certificates may be obtained through distance learning: Associates Degree in General Studies, Dietary Manager Certificate and Web Designer Certificate.
Members questioned how the recent survey from Brenda Trettel ties into the Distant Learning Working Group? Dr. Stevenson remarked that Brenda Trettel is very conscientious of going through Research and Development and is also working through John Dziak when there are AFT issues involved.
Report on Discussion of Dr. Weiner's Draft Policy Regarding Faculty Teaching Loads in Distance Learning
Dr. Stevenson reported on Wendy Weiner's proposal that limits a faculty member's load to all but one course that can be taught as distance education. One course must be taught as a traditional course. A faculty member who has her full load as distance education made a good case for why there should not be a limit. The proposal also limits only one distance learning course to be taught as an overage. During the summer, a limit of 12 credits may be taught as distance learning as long as it does not deprive any other Employee of an overage.
Because the proposed policy deals with workload, it is an AFT matter and not one for Governance.
Dr Stevenson is working with Dr. Blocksidge and Mr. Smay on a project to examine statistics on dual enrollment students. They are looking at certain comparisons with students who have similar profiles. The comparisons will be based upon achievement.
There is a growing number of dual enrollment students. There were 697 students in the Spring of 2005 and 835 in the Spring of 2006. Dual enrollment students are 11th and 12th grade students who are also enrolled at the College.
Toni Carney said that home schooled students are problematic in terms of age to qualify. Normally dual enrollment is restricted to juniors and seniors. Home schooled students don't really have a level. In that case, they are to be referred to the campus academic dean.
D. Academic Planning Subcommittee
Report on the Progress re 2006 Faculty Hiring Recommendations
Joanne Jeffcoat reported that the Subcommittee met last week and discussed the hiring process for 2006 and 2007. Some hiring request forms were not complete and when they looked at the staffing report, there were inconsistencies as well. The Subcommittee members discovered that they were working from the November 15th staffing report and everyone should be working from the Dec 1st report which is the 2nd version. Mrs. Jeffcoat reported some requests had to be redone and that she needs to receive everything by Monday so that it will be ready for the Subcommittee on Thursday. She has received the requests from Allegheny but nothing was received from Nursing. Apparently all Nursing full-time temporary positions will continue. There are at least 10 of them. It was pointed out that temporary positions are supposed to be for emergency purposes only.
Those positions requested as replacements will go into the mix and the word "replacement" will be taken off. There was a question if those who requested a replacement understand that. Mrs. Jeffcoat replied that she believed that they did understand.
There was a question regarding what is the mechanism for Counselors and Librarians to recommend hires. It is a disparity if teaching faculty have this mechanism and non-teaching faculty do not. Toni Carney will talk to John Dziak regarding this.
On Feb 2nd there is a joint meeting at College Office of all Subcommittees to discuss the General Education Learning Goals and Assessments. Mr. Crocker reminded the Subcommittee Chairs to make sure that their members attend.
There being no further business, the meeting ended at 4:44 PM.
The next scheduled meeting of College Council is Thursday February 9th, 2006 at 2:30 PM
Respectfully submitted,
Barbara Thompson
College Council Secretary

A couple weeks ago, the Houston Rockets looked on pace to break the NBA record for three-pointers in a blowout win over the Warriors. Golden State coach Mark Jackson wouldn't have it, though. After the Rockets got a little too hammy for Jackson's liking, he instructed his players to foul intentionally, running out the clock and freezing Houston's three-pointer count at 23, tying the record.
So, the gunnin' Rockets missed their chance at setting a new mark that night, but they're back at it tonight in D.C. At halftime, they've already hit 13 three-pointers on 28 attempts. Chandler Parsons leads the way with four makes in six tries. That puts them well on pace to break their own record...unless Randy Wittman's Wizards choose to meddle with history (or, you know, play better defense in the second half).
For reference: The record for threes in one half is 14, which the Rockets tied that night against the Warriors. Something to keep an eye on.

I've been having much fun lately, friends, writing a short book called "Saints for Special Needs," completely fictional characters whomight get us thinking about humanity—and ourselves, in particular. Here's a sample. Let me know your reaction. (Oh, and I have a fine cartoonist to illustrate the book!) [Almost every culture has a place for "the wise fool," the vacant sort of person who, in fact, has a witty and trenchant view of humanity, and may even see into its future.]
The list of famous persons not born in Swabia is very long. But some notables were native to the south German province. Rommel was born there, and Schelling, Kepler, Hegel, Brecht, Daimler, Hesse, and, of course, Einstein. These men, as you may know, are all quite famous.
Among the many less famous and now almost anonymous Swabians was Saint Swibart. He was canonized in 1400 AD, as an object lesson, one might think, for the smug. For he is an example of a blessed presence among the self-absorbed: a wise fool and, more important, a seer. For Swibart could foresee the future, though, like poor Cassandra of Troy, was never taken seriously.
The Ulm of Swibart's boyhood was a busy commercial center, already gaining wealth through trade in linen and coarser fabrics.
Swibart was born there around 1340, close to the River Blau's confluence with the Danube. Nothing is known of his family.
From early boyhood, Swibart was avoided by many adults who were put off by his jarringly odd ways. For instance, even when he was looking right at someone, responding to a question, the boy's eyes seemed focused at some point behind and beyond the speaker; and often his strange answers had no connection at all to the question.
The children, however, found him fascinating when he described for them "carriages linked like parading elephants, propelled by bursts of steam." That first railroad train he described did not pass through Ulm for another 400 years. They also loved the way he would sit in a wheelbarrow, legs hanging down on either side, rotating clenched fists and roaring, "Rrrmmm! Rrrrrmm!" Swibart couldn't know that the was prophesying the first invention of Gottlieb Daimler, to born in Ulm in 1834, and who in 1885 installed a primitive gasoline engine on a two-wheeler and rode off on the first motorcycle.
But before 1400, youngsters took turns pushing Swibart around in the barrow while he alternately laughed and thundered "Rrrrmmm!" Adults, though, were frightened by his strange weather predictions. During one parched summer, he told a nun, "Someday our church spire will pierce the clouds and free the rain!"
The Ulm Cathedral was already begun at that time, but no one knew that, at its completion in 1890, the 500- year building project would boast a spire 528 feet tall and sharp enough, it seemed, to tear open passing clouds.
What seemed another weather prophecy was also not fulfilled for many centuries. For a whole week in a cold December, Swibart paced the square, face contorted, forearms on top of his head. "Brimstone from the sky!" he moaned. "Flames and destruction!" But his contemporaries needn't have feared.
It wasn't until December 1944 that RAF bombers flattened most of Ulm. And even then they spared the cathedral and its cloud-piercing spire, since it was a useful navigational marker.
But, again, it was the children who remained Swibart's true friends. As he grew older, he never lost a childlike joy, and never ceased being children's beloved peer.
One day a crowd of them watched as he paced out the length and breadth of thesunny square. It was 100 by 50 feet, with a pleasant fountain halfway down the long west side. When he was done pacing, he sat on the fountain's edge. The youngsters settled around him but soon realized he was far, far away.
Eyes glazed, Swibart kept repeating, "Reifen und kugen! Reifen und kugen!" Barrel hoops and balls?
What could he mean? But suddenly he was up, loping to the middle of the square, holding curled hands in front of him as if he held a muskmelon. Then he ran in a semi-crouch to the square's north end and, twenty feet out, launched his hands up and outward, as if throwing a projectile.
He spun, raised hands to catch something, and then ran toward the south end, using one hand seemingly to bounce the invisible melon off the paving stones. Close to the north end, Swibart leaped high and threw the invisible sphere downward. "Dunk!" he yelled triumphantly, and the excited, confused children all yelled, "Bitte schon!"
Soon a dozen youngsters were running alongside him, back and forth, some trying to knock the imaginary kugen from his hands, and others trying to fend them off. In short order, they were acting as two teams, and when one side managed to capture the kugen and run away with it, the defense became the offense and went at them.
That children's game lasted decades beyond Swibart's death, but it had been forgotten centuries later when in 1970 the Ratiopharm Ulm opened as home arena for the Bundeslega basketball team. Albert Einstein was not born in Ulm until 1879, but Swibart saw him many times some two hundred years before. Even when fully himself, he would sometimes run toward bent old men with wild white hair, calling to them.
"Einstein? Einstein?" he'd ask hopefully. This got him kicked in the shins more than once, and sometimes knocked down.
In visions, he almost always he saw Einstein writing with chalk on a black wall, but since Swibart could neither read nor cipher, he had not an idea of what the squiggles meant. But the old man looked at once so intent and so kindly, that Swibart loved him deeply.
Once he saw Einstein facing an invisible audience, repeating an incomprehensible phrase. "E=mc squared," the gentle voice said. "That is the very key." Then he nodded slowly, smiling.
And, indeed, on Swibart's own deathbed many years later, surrounded by children and by children who had become fathers and even grandfathers, Swibart murmured that very phrase.
"E=mc squared," he whispered. "Das ist der Schlussel." "Ah, he is delirious," said one man tearfully. "Nein, nein," others said. "See his soft eyes, see his peaceful smile."
And then a sigh and his final word. It was breathed out in a language none understood;Swibart was quoting his old friend from far in the future. "Relativity," he whispered.

INDIANAPOLIS — The respected evaluation website Pro Football Focus gave Colts cornerback Vontae Davis a +7.9 grade for his work Sunday night, the highest score ever awarded to a defensive back facing Peyton Manning.
But that's about the only number from Indianapolis' 39-33 victory against the previously unbeaten Denver Broncos that adds up.
The Colts allowed 429 yards of total offense, and Manning threw for 386 yards and three touchdowns. Of the Broncos' 23 first downs, 19 came through the air. Denver's top receivers — Demaryius Thomas (four catches for 82 yards), Wes Welker (7-96) and Eric Decker (8-150) — each had big statistical nights.
But it's what's not in the numbers that counts.
The Broncos' point total was 11 fewer than its season average. Welker was held without a touchdown for the first time in seven games since signing with Denver. And the league's most potent offense never found the sort of rhythm that had marked its fast and furious start.
Indianapolis prides itself on winning as a team, and no one unit can claim responsibility for Sunday's epic upset.
Manning never was the same after a hard hit from the blindside by Robert Mathis on a second-quarter sack that resulted in a safety. And the front seven played an outstanding game with four sacks and an interception by inside linebacker Pat Angerer to its credit.
But it was the secondary — self nicknamed as the "No Fly Zone" — that raised the most eyebrows. The Colts' defensive backs got physical with Denver's receivers throughout the game, bumping them off their intended routes and wreaking havoc with Manning's beloved timing.
The secondary especially lived up to its colorful moniker over the middle, where it severely slowed the quick passing game that is the staple of the Broncos' attack.
"If you force (Manning) to make outside throws, it's tougher and it gives us a little more time to adjust and play that ball," nickelback Darius Butler said. "I would probably say that's probably the philosophy for a lot of defensive players, to make them beat you outside rather than inside."

Many people say that Floyd is better today than he was years ago but honestly I must say that the younger, faster Floyd got hit far less than he does today and I know that makes for a more action-packed/competitive bout because he's taking more risks standing in the pocket and trading but he never got hit as much when he was using his legs more.

Though the uneducated casual observer (those who do not know the difference between Boxing and Brawling) would say he was a Runner, I still favored his earlier style using his legs to box and not get hit than I do the more Crowd Pleasing Style today.
So, is he better today or then? Or did he lose a step or two??
Your thoughts???
