On all the World Cup players folding their arms
From the little of the World Cup that I watched this year, one thing really stood out: the hilarious arm-folding. None of my friends really watch football, and yet this topic keeps being brought up. FIFA should seriously leave creativity to creative people, even if they don't watch football. This arm folding thing is a disaster.
Disasters are funny though, and Slate has the funniest article I read in ages.
It turns out that's surprisingly hard to ace on your first (and, presumably, only) try. Hundreds upon hundreds of millions of television viewers have watched players from all 32 teams botch this seemingly simple technique in the lineup presentations before each World Cup match. Nailing that turn and arm-fold is crucial, though: It's the difference between looking like an ordinary, nice dude (like Japan's Atsuto Uchida) and an unlucky guy caught posing for his mug shot (like the United States' Kyle Beckerman).
So what can we learn from these athletes' struggles to fold their arms and look to the left in a convincingly human manner? The primary issue is where your hands should go. Should they go on the outside of your biceps, like those of the Netherlands' Daryl Janmaat? Or would you prefer, as does Mexican goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa, to tuck them inside, thumbs up?
Would you like to adopt the pose of a hip-hop dancer, like Greece's Ioannis Maniatis, or that of a perfectly upright Cossack dancer, like the Ivory Coast's Salomon Kalou?
But whatever you do, don't stuff your hands into your armpits like Colombian players Carlos Sánchez, Abel Aguilar, and Juan Cuadrado. Gross, guys!
But best of all is Cameroon's Benoît Assou-Ekotto. Graceful, funny, relaxed, Ekotto's arm-folding is a joyous invitation to come to his place and watch some Adventure Time. Assou-Ekotto wins the World Cup of Arm-Folding.
Mixed-race Portraits
I love this series of mixed-race family portraits.
For one thing, evolution is beautiful, especially when you can see it happening right in front of your eyes. Two, as a Jordanian, where 99.9% of the population is Jordanian, race is fascinating to me because I don't see much of it. Finally, all sides of my own family are very racially consistent, with Levantine genes all the way back.
And these mixed-race portraits are soooooo beautiful. I wish I can see the world when there will be no race anymore.

The Pocket Guide to Detecting Bullshit
Here's a handy guide to making sure you're not getting your info screwed over.
So apparently, under-eye bags, or aegyo sal, are hot in Asia
So, from Quora:
Asian people think that having aegyo sal makes them cuter and more youthful looking–like it softens their appearance. People go so far as to get surgery or put tape or makeup under their eyes to get this effect.
Wow, this is really cool. I personally don't have feelings towards the area area beneath the eye, and don't notice it much at all. But now that I'm looking… they're right. The "aegyo sal" does actually look better.
Autism Therapy Through Disney Movies
I was greatly moved by this beautiful piece written by the father of an autistic child, on how they learned to communicate through Disney movies.
It's long, but worth every second.
In our first year in Washington, our son disappeared.
Just shy of his 3rd birthday, an engaged, chatty child, full of typical speech — "I love you," "Where are my Ninja Turtles?" "Let's get ice cream!" — fell silent. He cried, inconsolably. Didn't sleep. Wouldn't make eye contact. His only word was "juice."
I had just started a job as The Wall Street Journal's national affairs reporter. My wife, Cornelia, a former journalist, was home with him — a new story every day, a new horror. He could barely use a sippy cup, though he'd long ago graduated to a big-boy cup. He wove about like someone walking with his eyes shut. "It doesn't make sense," I'd say at night. "You don't grow backward." Had he been injured somehow when he was out of our sight, banged his head, swallowed something poisonous? It was like searching for clues to a kidnapping.
After visits to several doctors, we first heard the word "autism." Later, it would be fine-tuned to "regressive autism," now affecting roughly a third of children with the disorder. Unlike the kids born with it, this group seems typical until somewhere between 18 and 36 months — then they vanish. Some never get their speech back. Families stop watching those early videos, their child waving to the camera. Too painful. That child's gone.
In the year since his diagnosis, Owen's only activity with his brother, Walt, is something they did before the autism struck: watching Disney movies. "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin" — it was a boom time for Disney — and also the old classics: "Dumbo," "Fantasia," "Pinocchio," "Bambi." They watch on a television bracketed to the wall in a high corner of our smallish bedroom in Georgetown. It is hard to know all the things going through the mind of our 6-year-old, Walt, about how his little brother, now nearly 4, is changing. They pile up pillows on our bed and sit close, Walt often with his arm around Owen's shoulders, trying to hold him — and the shifting world — in place.

To start, I hated my eyes my whole life. One eye...
I went to Dr. Charles Lee on June 9, 2014. I had an incision eyelid surgery with a medium crease of 7mm (eyes closed). I also got the Inner Epi thing. I walked in not knowing what type of eyelids I wanted. He kind of just drew whatever and I trusted him. The healing process was very hard on me. My creases were soooooooooooo big. And I was not healing!! I didn't think much about it because I thought it was suppose to be like this. After 5 long days I went back to get my stitches out. Dr. Lee noticed I had Ptosis so I had to do a revision... THE DAY I WENT HOME! I was scared out of my mind! But I'm very happy that Dr. Lee did the revision... It helped a lot and immediately the crease was better.
Also: I had to take out the stitches by myself 4 days later because I left home (half way across the country) after the revision!
The healing process was horrible. I won't lie, I cried a lot. I locked myself in my house for a couple of weeks. I wanted to disappear forever. I was not myself!
Today - I am about 7 weeks post op, from my revision. My eyelids are still bigger then I would like them to be but I'm trying my best to be patient... so harrrd! I can't wait until I'm fully healed. I hope my eyes turn out more natural!
8 Weeks Post Op - After 1st Surgery
9 Weeks Post Op
There has been at least 4 individuals who has contacted me about my doctor. And honestly, YES of course I recommend him. I know I talked about not liking my high creases (and how I went crazy)... But that is NORMAL! I'm only 9 weeks post op, they are still swollen... But I know they will go down with time. I understand that the healing process is a long one, I understand that my eyes will look different in one year... I'm such an impatient person though! I asked for a medium crease, so my healing process would be prolonged (not only that but I got a Ptosis correction).
Nothing I wrote was suppose to be negative, especially towards Dr. Lee. He is amazing at what he does and I'm glad I choose him. He's such a caring person. He worried so much about me and my eyes, so did his assistants. Although I'm still swollen and healing, I can see that Dr. Lee did an incredible job on my eyes.
I'm happy with my decision :) And as you can tell, my eyes changed a lot from Day 1!
10/11 Weeks Post Op
My last photo shows my eyes closed and it looks like my eyes can't close fully but it does and I'm not really worried cus it never happened before.
13 Weeks Post Op
For those who are feeling hopeless, please please please do not feel that way! I didn't start noticing any improvement with the swelling until 2 months post op. I, too, lost all kinds of hope for my eyes but please... be patient. This was the longest emotional roller coaster I've ever been on, and trust me, it was painful... but worth it.
Please e-mail if you need someone to talk to :) That's how I made it through the first couple of weeks, I e-mailed other individuals from Real Life and other places who've had this surgery before and they helped me get through it because I took it real hard. Also, blogging about it helps.
100 Days Post Op
3 Weeks to 3 Months!
4 Months Post Op
I'm really happy I made this decision :)
19 Weeks Post Op
I don't know if my left eye is just more swollen or if it really is asymmetry. If you look back at my Day 2 of Revision Photo (2nd set of photos), you can tell that my left eye, the one on your right is more swollen - and that's the eye that looks like it has a bigger eyelid crease. I don't know if any of that made sense lol. It's too early for this. Am I worried, a little bit - but I really really don't want to make a big deal out of it. I know that sometimes asymmetry eyes are only noticeable by the person who has them. But in these pictures, you can kind of tell.
A couple of you guys have asked for another update :) Otherwise, I love them lol.
Monthly Progess
As requested.. Here are unseen photos and a monthly progress. My 2 week post op photo here is so scary lol. It gets better :) yes, you can see the asymmetry at my 4 months post op but I hope it's just that my left eye is more swollen **finger crosses. By the way, I'm really bad at doing my eyebrows.
I remember being scared out of my mind that my eyes will never be "natural", and that they will always look too big, too thick and scary looking. I was up day and night doing research on how to lower my lid and revision surgery. I cried a lot too. I regretted my decision, I hated myself. This didn't help the recovery time. I ate a lot of pineapple - it's supposedly helped with swelling. I walked a lot. I slept on 3 pillows until 2 months, sometimes I still do. Everything I did revolved around my eyes. I just want to stop thinking about my eyes. Seriously, I wanted to just heal and continue living my life.
If there is anything that I would like you guys to know, it's that.. it will okay. It will get better.
5 Months Post Op
Dr. Lee is a very nice man. He is also very knowledgeable. I felt that he actually cared about me, as well as his assistants. His assistants called me after my revision to check up on me and to make sure I was okay. I had an emotional breakdown 2 weeks after my surgery and I went crazy e-mailing Dr. Lee about all my healing process (bad bad thing to do, not sure why I did it... still). He handled it very well. I received another check up call from Dr. Lee to reassure me that everything will be okay, and everything I was struggling with was normal, and that I will have a prolonged recovery due to my revision surgery and Ptosis correction. I needed that reassurance so bad. Now, 6-7 weeks later I'm very happy I choose Dr. Lee. I'm still waiting on my final results but I can already see that Dr. Lee did a very good job.

This is a great opportunity to share my thoughts on "Web Marketing for Small Businesses". I found the book to be quite helpful; I loved the case studies, tips, and the alerts. The book gave a relevent amount of information without overload. It gave information on topics that were straight forward and reader friendly. I particularly liked the seven steps to business growth from "niche to results".
Since I was not formilar with all the tools or topics, I found it quite helpful that the book explained what some of the tools were and how they might be used to accomplish ones goals
It is also my impression that some of the information contained in the book could easily apply to traditional marketing as well.

Denver (AP) - A proposal to phase out Colorado's business personal property tax is still alive.
Senators agreed Thursday to delay a vote on the measure until Monday after a brief fight.
A $31,000 study has been added to the bill, which could lead to its defeat since money is so tight. Backers asked for time to figure out whether business groups could pick up the tab and save the measure.
Senate Bill 85 would gradually eliminate a tax on all business equipment over the next 40 years.
Businesses have long complained about the tax, but many school districts depend on it, and the state would find a way to make up for the lost revenue.
If the tax were eliminated in one year, the state would lose $350 million.

Need a little input on situation
I buy and sell a lot of stuff on here and know that stuff happens from time when items get shipped. Got to open the packaged and got everything that I said I would, but found out that a component had been damaged during shipping. Was in a confined box with little protection and it happens and buyer also confirms the statment.
Contacted the buyer and sent him some pics to let him know what was up the second I found out about it. Communication was quick and seemed to be good about the whole deal. All commnication was done on Tue 4/23 and ended 4/24 (same time zone) in the morning and he agrees to contact his source to see about getting a replacement/fixed and tested. Two full working days go by and I decide to check back with him and propose a solution for both parties to save the hassle 3 shipping costs from US to Canada + repair/test cost + all the wait time in between. Tells me he hasn't heard back from his hobby store and get this snip from and email.
Just get this feeling that a paypal needs to be notified before too much time goes by.

I think your solution is fair. As much as it sucks to ship something that fully functional and have it arrive damaged, it is always up to the seller to deal with the issue. You paid for a functioning item, and that's what you deserve to get. Although he may not have a spare $187 dollars, that isn't your issue. If I buy something from Amazon and it gets damaged in transit, there's no way Amazon says, "Sorry, we just can't absorb that return."
I guess I'd just remind your seller in the friendliest of fashions that he can either replace the item, do the scenario you suggested, or that you'll return it to him and PayPal will have him refund the full purchase price. It's gonna happen, one way or another, so hopefully he comes to his senses.
Good luck to you,

I agree with Josh. Make sure you insure the item if you end up sending it back. Back in January, I purchased what was supposed to be a NIB Hacker motor on Ebay. What I got was what looked to be a new motor that was missing parts. To make a long story short, I opened an Ebay case and I sent the motor back to the guy with USPS signature confirmation and no insurance. The package supposedly goes out for delivery and that is the last USPS tracking logs about it. I get no delivery or signature confirmation. In the end, I lost the purchase price, the cost for the seller to ship the motor to me, and the cost for me to ship the motor back to the seller. What a mistake not to insure the package.

Wynn- I think you've dealt with this in a gentlemanly way. If your settlement offer is rejected, you need to use Paypal's solution.
Every time I sell an item, that stays in my mind.....'what if it gets damaged,before it arrives'? I decide then, to do my best to cover all bases,or resign myself to take the loss....
You are not being unfair, expecting undamaged goods or a partial refund.
-good luck
|Apr 27, 2013, 09:19 AM
Im the seller and i feel the same way as evreyone on here. It sucks the sensor got damaged, between shipping insurance which i am claiming and Wynn saying he would attempt to sell the old sensor, id take 50/50 responsibility on the deal and offer up 95 bucks. In this case then Wynn would be able to get the sensor at no expense to himself but the effort to sell the damaged one which appears to be only the case and not the sensor itself at no money out of pocket.

My experience with Canada Post is if you have a case you get full insurance paid to you so have the seller return the item for a refund.
You have a good buyer there.
|Apr 27, 2013, 04:25 PM
Want to let everyone know that the seller and I have already reached a agreement. Seller has already requested a refund to me for the issue at hand and is pending via paypal for there normal holding period.

Lost Myakka hiker and dog found in woods
Date: April 15, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
A 50-year-old man and his dog were rescued from thick brush and swampland in Myakka City 5:50 p.m. Sunday night.
Joseph Brandt, from the 4000 block of Fourth Avenue East, walked a few hours in the Edward Chance Reserve at 34300 State Road 64 before becoming lost well off the trails, according to a Manatee County Sheriff's Office report.
Brandt called 911 but couldn't give his exact coordinates.
Numerous patrol deputies, MCSO aviation, search and rescue units and a deputy and bloodhound were dispatched.
Deputies used sirens in the swamp to make contact with Brandt.
The aviation unit finally saw Brandt and his dog but it took several hours to remove them from the swamp due to the thick terrain.
Brandt, though tired and dehydrated, was found healthy.
The report did not list the dog's condition.

|Trip Type:
|Half Day River Rafting
|June 11 - August 21
|Start Time:
|10:30 am check-in
|2.5 - 3 hours
|Matanuska Glacier area
|River Grade:
|Class II & III Whitewater
|Age Limit:
|Minimum 5 years
$45 children 5 to 11 years old.
Both include the Glacier Park access fee.
This unique Alaska rafting trip starts near its source, the Matanuska Glacier!
A great family float trip for younger children and seniors with a unique photo stop at the spectacular Matanuska Glacier. Launch is generally at the glacier terminus and allows us to row up to the ice and outflow. The trip is predominantly Class II with some Class III rapids which makes this trip suitable for ages 5 and up. The Glacier fork "Main" of the Matanuska River eventually meets up with the Lion Head fork "South" so that both trips end at the same location, our Hick's Creek facility where you're parked. If your looking for a trip with awesome views along the Glenn Highway National Scenic Byway, the huge Matanuska Glacier, and an easy float with a little light whitewater then this one is it!
I took a trip down the Matanuska River with you when I lived in Anchorage in the early 80's. After moving back last year and taking a trip with you that summer, I've since made four more with NOVA this year. I find your trips to be an excellent way to initiate my visitors to the wonders and joys of Alaska. I want to reiterate my thanks and appreciation to everyone on your staff, from those in the office at Chickaloon to the professional and personable guides insuring a bitchin' time on the river. I can assure I will be going again.
Sincerely, Dale Hoffman, Alaska

Hank Baskett: Cheating on Kendra Wilkinson With Jessica Hall?by Free Britney at . Comments
Is Kendra Wilkinson's marriage to Hank Baskett on the rocks?
The new issue of In Touch suggests as much! So basically, no, they're not on the rocks, but hey, makes for some good celebrity gossip, right?
In Touch has been trying to bust up Kendra and Hank for some time. Somehow Playboy bunny Jessica Hall has been thrown into the mix now.
Here's the alleged other woman wreaking marital havoc ...
This is Jessica Hall. Rumored home wrecker. Bona fide hottie!
Seriously, why the need to meddle in Kendra's love life? We direct that at Ms. Hall and at ITW. The Basketts seem as solid as they come. Leave 'em be.
Another thing just occurred to us. The headline just says Kendra and Hank have been torn apart by another woman. But what if Kendra did the cheating?
Sorry, we're just throwing that out there. Nothing wrong with a little girl-on-girl action, right? Okay, you know what, we're just going to stop now.
If I were Louis Van Amstel who is a sweetheart and awesome dancer.... I'd smack that slut right up against her fat head~ She has done nothing but humiliate him with her nasty comments and ugly faces she makes when she dances with him in practice shots. Her comment about having to close her eyes and pretend she is dancing with Hank was cruel... then the I dont care that she isnt elegant..... was another one of many stupid, non elegant comments. She could not be elegant physically or verbally if she tried...cuz she is just a lesbian and a slut that got paid to screw an old man~ What is Hank thinking to pick u to be the mother to his child? Geeze! ps: Jessica is ELEGANT!
Hi......aap ki adda pe sub marte hai
app ke pass aaneko sub traste hai
aap jaisa na humne dekha. Pur aap ne bhi to hume nahi dekha. (I love u.i writ 4 u in hindi.)
the whole bunch makes me wanna throw up...on them!
Just leave them alone please every one deserves to be happy, love you guys
I agree. Who cares? Who. Cares. And besides. She's a whore. If he wanted another woman he could just do them at the same time. No need to cheat.
Kendra & Hank seem to have a great relationship. Ppl hate seeing happiness in hollywood -therefore, they work hard to ruin it. I hope they can work thru the rumor mill & keep the love strong!
Two words: who cares?
Kendra like Kim K loves the lime light and will do anything to stay relevant. Not sure if I totally believe this.
It's so nice to know that in the world today when marriages are failing and people's morals seem to be at an all time low, that these magazines actually promote failure and adultery. It's absolutely pathetic. Every gossip magazine wants stars to get together, then when they finally do all they do is wait for their demise. It's awful.

character modeMany video adapters support several different modes of resolution. All such modes are divided into two general categories: character mode (also called text mode) and graphics mode. In character mode, the display screen is treated as an array of blocks, each of which can hold one ASCII character. In graphics mode, the display screen is treated as an array of pixels, with characters and other shapes formed by turning on combinations of pixels.
Of the two modes, character mode is much simpler. Programs that run in character mode generally run much faster than those that run in graphics mode, but they are limited in the variety of fonts and shapes they can display. Programs that run entirely in character mode are called character-based programs.

Shock defeat in Rome
Unfortunately, Roger has already dropped out of the Masters-Series tournament in Rome. He lost to Italy's Filippo Volandri (ATP 53) 6-2, 6-4 in just 78 minutes today.
"I don't know what's wrong. I have to analyze it myself," Roger said. "It was over too soon for me today." These last weeks have been the worst stretch of his career since becoming No. 1 in Feb. 2004. Roger often missed routine baseline shots and his body language conveyed little will to compete. He hit only two winners with his forehand, normally his best shot, and made 44 unforced errors to Volandri's 23.
Roger arrived in Rome more than a week before the tournament started to step up his clay-court training. "I was the first player to arrive. My preparation was perfect," he said. "But let's not forget that Filippo played well today. Give the guy credit."
Our star now has the Hamburg Masters before the clay courts of Roland Garros in Paris. "Of course I've got to sit down and look at what went wrong, but it's not the end of the world? I've now got more time to train for Hamburg," he said.

I have some code somewhere that uses Boost.Python to expose a Jack

button presses into MIDI notes so I could play drums with my gamepad.
I also interfaced it to the mingus python package
[http://code.google.com/p/mingus/] so that I could write mingus apps
that send midi data to the jack midi app of my choice instead of
mingus' built-in fluidsynth. I have a simple llittle pygtk app that
draws a button for each chord in the chosen key and sends that chord
out as midi on button presses. Fun!
I hope to one day clean it all up and put it somewhere, plus add
support for passing NumPy arrays to the jack thread to send out an
audio port, yada yada, more hot air and empty promises, etc...
There was another thread a few months back about message passing in
C++ for jack apps. It might be worthwhile to revisit that thread in
the context of wrapping things with Boost.Python.

Utilities in many states are rewarded for selling more energy, requiring reforms to incentivize energy efficiency, according to a new study from Oregon State University.
Recently published in Environmental Law, the study profiles key differences between how utilities address energy efficiency projects and renewable resources.
"We need to start addressing efficiency as we do renewable energy – by looking at it systematically and removing the barriers," explains author Inara Scott, assistant professor at Oregon State and a former lawyer specializing in energy and regulatory law.
Four key recommendations could help make energy efficiency programs more attractive to utilities and ultimately benefit consumers:
1) Reorganize rate structures. Cost-recovery systems for many U.S. investor-owned utilities are based on an outdated model that ties higher returns for shareholders to producing more energy. Utilities with this model are then penalized for selling less energy if they encourage customers to adopt energy-efficient practices and products. To solve this problem, states can use ratemaking mechanisms to separate utility sales from revenues and establish performance incentives for efficiency programs.
2) Set targets and stick to them. Oregon aims to obtain 25% of its energy supply from renewables by 2025, a goal easily adopted by other states.
3) Streamline cost-effectiveness tests. This will be difficult, Scott cautions, because there is no one simple, accurate way to measure energy efficiency. "You're trying to measure energy you didn't use, so you're measuring something that doesn't exist," Scott explains.
Some tests do exist, but they are so complicated that they can actually discourage utilities from building energy efficiency programs. However, Scott notes, conducting assessments on individual programs, streamlining test precision, and considering developing national standards will help.
4) Address market barriers. Colorado and Michigan are just two of the states that have increased the size of incentives for consumers to participate in energy efficiency programs – in some cases, participants are reimbursed for 100% of their investment. Better marketing efforts are needed to make customers more aware of incentives.

This Magic Moment21 Nov 2014 / Paul Epps
Bravery is doing
the same thing every day when you don't want to.
Not the marvelous but the familiar, over and over again.
Do that, and the magic will come.
Bravery is doing
the same thing every day when you don't want to.
Not the marvelous but the familiar, over and over again.
Do that, and the magic will come.
I had lunch over the weekend with Robert Hass — Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, UC Berkeley professor and former Poet Laureate of the United States. When I say I had lunch with him, I mean he was one of five people seated at our table.
I asked to take a photo with him, which he graciously consented to. I don't have any photos of myself with Pulitzer Prize winners and still don't because the photo didn't come out at all. I completely botched it somehow.
So that was probably the lowlight of my weekend, except for Cal getting blown out by Washington on the gridiron 31-7, while four Husky fans sat directly behind us screaming the whole game.
Football at Cal unfortunately is like academics at Washington: not terribly distinguished.
If you know me, and you outlive me, and you want to say something on the occasion of my demise, please do not quote a snippet of poetry or other literary material, e.g., "He did not go gently into that good night." Or: "I think Wordsworth said it best . . ."
Bullshit . . . Wordsworth did not say it best. Wordsworth didn't know me. You knew me. Go ahead and say something from the heart if you have something. Keep it real.
He was not a good person.
He had the most appalling social skills, which is why he had no close friends.
After his son moved out, he just unraveled like an old sock.
I remember at Jackie O's funeral, her kids — was it just one kid, or both? I think both — read a poem. A poem! That's when you really know that your life was not well-lived, when your own children have nothing to say about you.
Don't you hope to god that your children at least will have some personal remembrance to share after you're gone?
I remember when we used to go to the park and he pitched baseballs to me.
He spent a year of his life helping me with algebra homework.
He always believed in me.
To anyone tempted to eulogize me with a literary reference, I swear I will rise from the grave — in spirit if not in body, although body will be my preference — and cast a shadow upon your soul.
The way we are living,
timorous or bold,
will have been our life.
Aerogramme Writers' Studio: Emily Dickinson Attends a Writing Workshop
Our skills are finally in demand.
If you mock us, Pan,
In whom we also believe, do it
As gently as you can.
here was an old woman tossed up in a basket,
Nineteen times as high as the moon;
Where she was going I couldn't but ask it,
For in her hand she carried a broom.
"Old woman, old woman, old woman," quoth I,
"Oh whither, oh whither, oh whither so high?"
"To brush the cobwebs off the sky!"
"Shall I go with thee?"
"Aye, by-and-by."
Stop one heart from breaking. Ease one life the aching or cool one pain. Or help one fainting robin unto his nest again.
What's the billing code for that?
everything is permitted
absolute freedom of movement
that is, without leaving the cage
2+2 doesn't make 4:
once it made 4 but
today nothing is known in this regard
Powell's Books has a Poetry Madness bracket online to determine the Best Poet of All Time. Unfortunately, along with some really obvious omissions, they don't understand the concept of seeding, so while minor poets face off in a number of first round matchups, there are inexplicable heavyweight pairings like T.S. Eliot vs. Emily Dickinson . . .
We must make do with today's
Happenings, and stoop and somehow glue together
The silly little shards of our lives, so that
Our children can drink water from broken bowls,
Not from cupped hands
Coursera's been around long enough now that some classes are being offered for a second time, including a couple that I've taken and recommend:
Jack Gilbert was an American poet. He died last week. There's a poem of his that I like called "Failing and Flying."
The last couple of weeks in ModPo, we've been reading "Language Poetry" and aleatory poetry, including the work of Ron Silliman, Lyn Hejinian, Bob Perelman, Charles Bernstein, Jackson Mac Low, Jena Osman and Joan Retallack.
I have to admit it all seemed lazy to me. The reader has to do all the work. (See below for a differing opinion.) I didn't like any of the poems enough to share one, so here instead are the lyrics to Randy Newman's "Marie":
You looked like a princess the night we met
With your hair piled up high
I will never forget
I'm drunk right now baby
But I've got to be
Or I never could tell you
What you meant to me
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
You're the song that the trees sing when the wind blows
You're a flower, you're a river, you're a rainbow
Sometimes I'm crazy
But I guess you know
And I'm weak and I'm lazy
And I've hurt you so
And I don't listen to a word you say
When you're in trouble I just turn away
But I love you
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
I loved you the first time I saw you
And I always will love you Marie
If that isn't poetry, I don't know what is.
Here's what ModPo professor Al Filreis says about aleatory poetry:
So this kind of writing, I want to emphasize, has rigor and it has intention at the level of design. It's not easy, it's not facile and it's not to be confused with improvisation and indeterminacy and even random or arbitrary are the wrong words to describe it. Many, as I've said, resist it. Many find no beauty in it. . . . Why should I waste my time, it doesn't mean anything. Well, I have so many things to say in response to that and gosh, I'm not even sure where to start, but I'll give it a try.
Well, here's one thing: when I think about how much of my time I spend, my own time, how much time I spend and waste really, watching and listening to things that make a whole lot of conventional sense but ultimately don't mean anything. Where normally meant statements are empty and useless and unbeautiful, I figure that I owe it to those who seek a significant alternative, the time of day. Maybe they're telling me to relax. Maybe they're telling me let down my guard. I'm always, I seem to be always on guard for meaning in meaninglessness. Maybe I should let down that guard and maybe I should hear the music in the apparent dissonance and discordance of my world. And maybe the discovery of sense in language that was not intended at the level of the sentence or of the phrase makes that sense all the more powerful. And maybe when words formed through quasi non-intentional chance operations produce something "accidentally" lovely (I've got air quotes around the word accidentally), when that loveliness is accidental, I'll be all the more astonished at the beauty that's just out there, that's ambient in our language and just waiting to be rearranged.
My favorite poem of the week — again from Modern & Contemporary American Poetry — was "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" by Bernadette Mayer, especially the final image of the stressed-out new mother reading The Wild Boy of Aveyron, about a feral child raised by wolves.
I've been reading a lot of poetry as part of the Modern & Contemporary American Poetry class on Coursera.
One of the things I like about the class is that the video lessons are done a little differently than other Coursera classes I've taken. Rather than recorded lectures, the videos consist of the instructor, Al Filreis, leading a small group of Penn students in close readings of selected poems.
Anyway, here are a few of my favorites so far:
These next two, both by Richard Wilbur, I want to single out as being particularly exquisite and heartbreaking:

I FINALLY finished this piece. I'd tried once before, but ended up scrapping it. But this time around, I really enjoy it. The hidden zipper is so cool. And I shortened it at least 6 inches right off (last time it reached about mid shin, EW). Got a retro feel with the red pockets and buttons. Yum.

I like this outfit and the colour scheme is striking. Buttons seem to feature a lot in clothing that I have seen in the stores in the UK. Of course adding buttons could also " pep up" an old outfit too — maybe something to do with the recession ??

The Huskies extended their lead in the second period to 3-0 on two goals by sophomore Todd Barclay. Barclay struck first on the power play at 4:56 and two minutes later he streaked down the left side and blasted in a slap shot from 25 feet. Sophomore Doug Sheppard put the Friars on the board as he broke in and slipped a low shot under NU sophomore netminder Marc Robitaille at 17:24 of the second period.
Junior Mike Omicioli brought the Friars within one goal as he lifted in a high backhander from four feet at 6:26 of the third period. However, the NU defense held the Friars scoreless the remainder of the third period and the Huskies earned their second win of the season against PC.
With the win Northeastern raised its record to 5-5-1 overall and 4-3-1 in HOCKEY EAST, while Providence fell to 7-3 overall and 3-3 in league action.

Immigration reform must be about securing our borders and enforcing our laws; must not put any burdens on U.S. taxpayers and should be centered on economic growth; and immigration reform must also be about keeping families together.
More on Immigration
(Washington, D.C.) The trend of this White House politicizing immigration continues. President Obama wants a partisan political wedge issue, not meaningful, sensible, compassionate immigration reform. The president's unilateral actions will make it harder for congress to fix the immigration system, and the worst part is - that seems to be exactly his intention.
Shutting down the government is not an option. I will be looking into what other options are available that would force the President to negotiate with Congress on immigration reform next year.
(Washington, D.C.) U.S. House of Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO) released the below statement today after voting against legislation to prohibit the expansion of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program:
(Washington, D.C.) U.S. House of Representative Mike Coffman (R-CO) released the below statement today after voting in support of H.R. 5230, border supplemental legislation:
"We have a humanitarian crisis at our border that has been caused by U.S. policies that have been encouraging Central American parents to send their children on a dangerous journey to the U.S. border with Mexico and I voted for the supplemental appropriation to keep this situation from getting worse."
People who help refugees in Colorado are concerned that their program funding may be diverted to help the unaccompanied children coming over the border, and the refugee community is taking action by visiting local politicians to lobby for their cause.
House Republicans are so wary of overhauling the nation's immigration laws this year that only five are cosponsoring Rep. Mike Coffman's bill to provide a path to citizenship for illegal aliens who serve in the U.S. military.
"I think the GOP is still very cautious of doing anything on the issue," said one Republican official.

Coffman and Gutierrez respond to letter from the U.S. Armed Services regarding possible Exclusionary Enlistment Policy
(Washington, D.C.) Today, U.S Representatives Mike Coffman (R-CO) and Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL), sent a letter to the Secretary of the Army, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Secretary of the Air Force responding to a status update on the policy review of possible U.S. Armed Services policies that prohibits U.S. citizens from enlisting in the military if that enlistee has an undocumented dependent.
(Washington, D.C.) Today, U.S. Representative Mike Coffman (R-Aurora) issued the below statement in response to President Obama's State of the Union Address:
"Unfortunately, the State of the Union address has deteriorated into a sort of partisan pep rally, so I frankly don't put a whole lot of stock into it one way or the other.
A Colorado lawmaker is urging Congress to pass legislation that would give illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children a path to citizenship through military enlistment.
The Military Enlistment Opportunity Act would let undocumented immigrants who have been screened by the Homeland Security Department, as well as "documented, legally present non-citizens" the chance to join the military with the promise of receiving permanent residence status.

Brooklyn rapper Fabolous recently came forward to kill rumors and gossip claiming his mother has passed away.
Fab hopped on Twitter heading into the weekend to nix the hoax death reports.
"Fyi my MOM did not die.. Keep seeing tweets sayin RIP to my mom.. Think some ppl misunderstood my instagram pic's caption…," he tweeted August 3rd.
"Sorry for Media Takeout's false story.. My MOM is ALIVE.. I appreciate the love but my MOM did not die!!" (Fabolous' Twitter)
The death hype developed after Fab tweeted a photo of his mother a few days ago.
Fab took to Twitter to dispel the cruel report that he may have inadvertently started. That caption read, "She held on as long as she could … my mom," and features this picture of Fab as kid being held by his mother. We see how MTO could have come to the conclusion that the rapper's mother had passed, but this is why you always fact check, especially before publishing stories such as this. (RumorFix)
With family in place, the rapper is currently gearing up for his next solo album, Loso's Way 2.
"I gave that music just to keep the people fed. At some point they get starved, like, we need some music, so I gave them the [There Is No Competition 3], and since then I've been working on the album," Fab said in an interview. "The whole process in between that, I've just been working on the album and getting it ready. The release should be top of fall. … This one is really growth and evolution. I think people know what I do — they know I've been in the game for a minute, but you gotta continuously show that growth and show that you're bringing something. It's the same thing, it's the same steps over and over again, but you gotta make it look new." (MTV)
Earlier this year, Loso said he still had to find the right production for his LP.
Fabolous recently told VIBE, Loso's Way 2, could be ready by as early as this spring/early summer. In an exclusive interview in New York City, Loso reveleaed he's been laying the groundwork for the project. "Loso's Way 2 is slated for 2012 release and looking spring/early summer. This mixtape is going to coast us into that and bring some energy to this time as well," Fab told VIBE. "I'm very premature with the album as of yet, as of now, just grabbing up the beats and putting some ideas down." Currently, the Brooklyn rapper is looking for the right production to fit his sequel. "I went in with Hit-Boy. I went in with No I.D. I went in with Pharrell. I went in with a lot of guys that didn't have to have that big name either. It's just about the energy. I love the new young guys' energy," explained Fabolous. (VIBE)

Inside Intel
Intel's general manager for the GCC tells Gulf Marketing Review how the chip maker plans to 'leap ahead' in marketing.
February 19, 2010 11:04 by Alex Malouf
As a marketer, how would you sell your product and your brand if you weren't actually selling direct, if your product was being sold by your partners in the market? As the world's largest producer of semiconductors, the chips that power computers and notebooks, Intel doesn't sell to consumers but to businesses direct.
The man responsible for overseeing Intel's operations across the Gulf region is Nassir Nauthoa, who plays a key role in promoting the advancement of digital communities in the Middle East through activities such as digital content development, CSR initiatives and training. Most consumers, however, know Intel from its advertising and prominent logo displayed across retail shops and on PCs regionwide. For Nauthoa, who holds a marketing diploma from the UK's Chartered Institute of Marketing, his aim is to build both a brand and meet customer expectations.
"First and foremost at Intel we focus on the brand. What we do is to make sure the Intel brand resonates with the public as well as with businesses and government. We want consumers to have an affinity with the Intel brand promise. When they go out and buy an Intel product they need to think and know that they are buying a leadership product. What we aim to do is create and shape a brand promise, the Intel Inside promise, which will set consumer expectations."
Globally, Intel has proved to be a leader in the concept of derived branding, the idea that a supplier of a key component in a product will aim to guarantee and build market share by promoting that component as a brand in its own right. Speaking during its "Intel. Leap Ahead" brand unveiling, the company's Eric Kim, Intel senior VP and GM of the Sales and Marketing Group, outlined how Intel aims to portray itself to customers.
"'Intel. Leap ahead' is a simple expression that declares who we are and what we do," said Kim. "This is part of our heritage. Our mission at Intel has always been to find and drive the next leap ahead – in technology, in education, social responsibility, manufacturing and more – to continuously challenge the status quo. It's about using Intel technology to make life better, richer and more convenient for everyone."
For Nauthoa and his marketing team, headed up by marketing manager Shabbab Al-Ghamdi, much of their work consists of local brand activation. On a consumer level that involves working in-store with retail partners such as Jarir Bookstores and eXtra.
"A lot of marketing is about segmentation and positioning, as our products cater to different needs and different user groups. For consumers going into a retail environment we do a lot of education through point of sale [PoS] material, training for retailers, and co-marketing with several retail customers. Our approach is to work through integrated marketing campaigns in conjunction with our local original equipment manufacturer partners and retailers which will benefit all of our value chain."
