It's been 12 years since the first offshore U.S. wind farm was proposed for the Massachusetts Nantucket Sound, but so far, not a single turbine has been put up. The struggles to get the Cape Wind project built stand in stark contrast to the torrid growth of the U.S.'s onshore wind industry — and the success of offshore wind in Europe. But now advocates are pointing to recent developments that they say show the offshore wind industry is on the cusp of turning into a full-force gale.
After much delay, offshore wind power set to sail
Obama calls Congress' relevance into question with climate plan
President Obama used his high-profile climate change speech Tuesday to try to drive a nail into the coffin of Congress' relevance when it comes to leading the country, and the world, to a lower-carbon future. One day later, several lawmakers declared that reports of Congress' irrelevance in the climate change debate had been greatly exaggerated.
Maine Legislature passes energy measure, bill to allow UMaine to compete for wind power project
A bill that aims to help Maine end its heavy dependence on heating oil was passed into law late Wednesday after the state Senate unanimously rejected Gov. Paul LePage's veto of the measure. The measure is aimed at expanding New England's natural gas infrastructure, boosting funding for energy efficiency, lowering businesses' electricity costs and making it more affordable for residents to abandon oil heat.
Obama launches 'coordinated assault' against warming
President Obama today said that rather than waiting for Congress to act on climate change, his administration would move forward in every way it could — curbing emissions, shoring up American infrastructure and heading "a coordinated assault" abroad on global warming. The president said he chose the venue for today's speech — a sun-dappled Georgetown University quad — because climate change is a threat to the next generation's future.
Clean Air Act, Reinterpreted, Would Focus on Flexibility and State-Level Efforts
With no chance of Congressional support, President Obama is staking part of his legacy on a big risk: that he can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions by stretching the intent of a law decades old and not written with climate change in mind. His plan, unveiled Tuesday at Georgetown University in Washington, will set off legal and political battles that will last years.
Obama readies campaign to rally the nation to reduce greenhouse gases, adapt to climate change
President Obama is expected to appeal to a cross section of Americans about the perils of rising temperatures and the economic benefits of dealing with climate change in a speech tomorrow that could establish a timeline for regulating carbon at existing power plants. The effort at depoliticizing the thorny topic of climate began Saturday in a campaign-style video in which Obama pointed to different areas of the public that he said can help address the effects of warming. He identified scientists, farmers, engineers and workers as the beneficiaries of an economy that runs on cleaner fuels.
Baldwin joins Energy and Natural Resources Committee
Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D) became the newest member of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee today. Baldwin was appointed today to fill the vacancy left by Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.). Coons left the committee to take the spot on the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee left open by the death earlier this month of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.)
Houston to buy half its electricity from clean sources
Houston will buy half its energy from renewable sources, making it the largest municipal purchaser of renewable energy in the United States, according to U.S. EPA. The city agreed to purchase 140 megawatts of renewable power from Reliant Energy between July 1 and June 30, 2015. The city will pay $2 million for what is estimated to be half its annual electricity demand.
Key judge's take on clean-power mandates sparks legal debate
An influential federal judge splashed fuel last week on an already-raging argument over states' clean energy mandates in a ruling that questioned the constitutionality of Michigan's renewable portfolio standard. Writing for a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Richard Posner — seen by many as the most important conservative jurist outside the Supreme Court — said that by banning out-of-state renewables from counting toward its renewable portfolio standard, Michigan's law "trips over an insurmountable constitutional objection." "Michigan cannot, without violating the commerce clause," he went on, "discriminate against out-of-state renewable energy."
Wind energy project blows away record
A gust of economic development dollars may be blowing into Northwest Iowa, thanks to MidAmerican Energy Co.'s plan to add 656 new wind turbines in the state. Iowa's largest utility on May 8 announced the $1.9 billion initiative, which represents the largest economic development investment in state history

This sleek port-side restaurant caters to the yachting crowd and sailors who cruise into dock for lunch. The focus is fish, of course: soupe de poisson (fish soup), St-Pierre (John Dory) steamed with asparagus, and roasted whole sea bass. Outdoor tables surround a tiny "garden" of potted palms. Chef Alain Therlicocq has manned the kitchen for 29 years and his five-course fixed menu, including a fish and meat dish, is one of the best values on the coast. Reservations
are necessary in the summer, but if you arrive without, ask with a smile for a table and Alain's wife, Regine, will find you une p'tite place.

Go, Dawg, go!
If you're a college football fan you probably know this already - the UW Huskies defeated Eastern Washington Eagles 30-27 last Friday in the opening game of the season. As the scoreline shows, the game was close, much closer than it should have been, and the Huskies were lucky to escape with the win.
New bike parking at the Montlake Triangle before the game starts
But that's not the whole story. The first game of the season also signaled a shift in how bike parking is handled at Huskies games. As many fans who biked to the game probably noticed, the bike parking is different this season. The most significant change is the placement of five new racks (with a capacity of 75 bikes) in the Montlake Triangle immediately adjacent to the Burke-Gilman. These racks accommodate cyclists who arrive at the game on the trail and who do not want to walk their bikes through the crowds of fans closer to the stadium. Since the racks might be difficult to find, wayfinding signs were placed along the trail directing cyclists to the new parking.
This change came about through a year-long conversation between Cascade and the University of Washington Athletics Department. It began last year when I went to a Huskies game in November to count bikes and track traffic flows. This led to a number of recommendations for how to better accommodate cyclists and place parking to reflect cyclists' desire lines, thereby reducing congestion, improving the fan experience and encouraging bicycling to games. The Athletics Department was very receptive, and with their help, we refined the recommendations and identified some easy wins for the new season. As a number of fans I talked to last week said, the new parking and wayfinging is a huge improvement over last year, and everyone I talked to is planning on biking to the next game.
While great, these improvements are not the end of the process. A stadium renovation and improvement project will begin before the end of the 2011 season, and we hope that bike parking and the needs of cyclists will be included in the redesign.
If you haven't biked to the stadium before, this Saturday's game against the Hawaii Warriors is a great opportunity to try it for the first time. Biking to the game couldn't be easier. Hop on Burke all the way to the stadium, enjoy the beautiful weather, avoid the terrible traffic, save money and check out the new bike parking.
Did you bike to a Huskies game? Tell us what you think in the comments.
I bus to the games, but I like the idea of cycling. One reminder is that pedestrians have the right of way on the BGT, and it's crowded before and after the game. In the few minutes I was walking on the trail I saw 3 encounters with cyclists that left a negative impression of cyclists with the pedestrians affected.
You're right, George. We on bikes need to look out for those on foot. We can do better.
I bussed/walked to the EWU game and saw all the bike racks out near the triangle garage. It was good to see so many bikes out there. I attend games occasionally and taken my bike, and it is challenging to find a place to lock it up near the stadium, even at a bike-friendly campus like UW. I have seen some cyclists get pretty creative, so this is a good sign. When our prolonged summer ends it would be nice if a covered area was available, though. There are some covered areas to chain up east of Hec Ed and near the new IMA.
Biking to a UW football game is fine, but the Burke Gilman Trail from roughly Brooklyn Ave to the stadium can be congested with fans walking from faraway parking spots to the game. Take Pacific Ave and avoid the drunken tailgaters walking 6 abreast.

Charles Stanley- Do Not Be Conformed (A Call To Godly Living)
Продолжительность: 00:44:37
God desires that every believer lead a righteous life. But our culture places a tremendous amount of pressure on Christians to "fit in." The doctrines of our faith are often mocked and ridiculed in the public arena. Individual believers sometimes make spiritual or moral compromises in an attempt to be accepted. How can we resist the secular influence of our time? In Romans 12:1-2, the apostle Paul reveals how to pursue holiness and resist compromise.

|I have been studying the Bible all my life. I am finding new truths being reveled to me at a very fast pace in the past few months. The problem is, I have no one in my life who is as strong believer as I, all are just going through the motions most don't even pick up a Bible. I am constantly told that I am a over the top christian, extreme and too religious because I try to inform my loved ones of important issues that they are clueless about. No one is interested. They all feel that they are "good" persons who will get to heaven just the way they are. I love Jesus more than anyone in my life. They think I'm weird! Anyone have suggestions. I do pray that God revels himself to them and opens their eyes but I can't help but feel so alone in this world of sheep headed to the slaughter..

|Good videos. Do not conform has been the verse I've been dwelling on most. In the last five years, I have an older cousin who has lived with me two different times and a younger nephew who has lived with me two different times. Neither are Christian. Neither think about Godly living. I would share the Gospel with them at different times, only to have my own mother scold me for doing so. It started to try my faith. What I've begun to realize again is God's opinion matters more.

You have to look at all angles and compare.
There is not one angle which tells the complete story. If we had a direct southern view and a direct east view it would be clearer, but here for starters. The perimeter wall collapse began as a shift to the east, illustrated in this screen grab:
In actuality, it was more of a twist than a shift. The left (east) part of the building is actually folding towards the camera. It began this move PRIOR to descent, which rules out having it's underpinnings suddenly cut out from underneath it. Lower support was folding.
The west, or right part of the building was falling away from the camera, evidenced by my avatar.
The perimeter walls could not have folded vertically in this manner had they been intact. This movement is in accord with the top to bottom gash on the south face.
Additionally, debris fell across Barclay Street to the north, creating so much damage to Fiterman Hall, it had to be torn down. The west portion of 7 fell to the south, across the street and into 6WTC, again, evidenced by my avatar.

"For us, the idea of having a work that has contradictions is very important—when, in affirming something, it includes itself and attacks itself. How can you put together all of these things that have nothing to do with each other? You use glue! Glue can be an idea, a word. You can use an ideological glue."
SEGMENT: Raymond Pettibon in "Humor"
From "Art in the Twenty-First Century" Season 2 (2003)
Featured in this video
From the series
Release date
October 1, 2003
Raymond Pettibon's drawings and paintings pair text and image in provocative and sometimes disconcerting ways, creating a powerful comic art for adults. Pettibon explains, "even though my work is usually just one drawing, it is more of a narrative than it is a cartoon with a punch line and a resolution and a laugh at the end." The characters of Gumby and Vavoom are recurring motifs in his work, but so are American presidents like Nixon and Reagan. Pettibon finds subjects for satire and social commentary in a broad range of images from popular culture. "I don't feel constrained by subject matter, " he says, "I welcome practically anything into the drawing."

Here's former Hooters Dream Girl and current Tuna dream girl Rachel Mortenson back with another busty lingerie photoshoot. Although I have to say, in my dreams, Rachel was wearing a whole lot less. And also, my hottie 11th grade English teacher was there. But I guess this is still a pretty good approximation. So you guys enjoy these while I go lay down and try to find out what happens next.

I know you guys probably think I've got it easy, since all I do is post pictures of hot women in lingerie and nap, but I'm telling you, I chose the wrong career. Because you might be a little jealous of me, but right now, I'm extremely jealous of this assistant who gets to touch up Brazilian hottie Kat Torres during her latest lingerie photoshoot, and get one hell of a view in the process. Is it too late to switch jobs? I've got zero experience, but I'm highly motivated.

As you guys probably know, I'm a big fan of cute pooches, and not just when they're being walked by even cuter celebrities. So here's a video of a highly controversial dog race, and just keep an eye on that wiener dog. Because I don't know much about the competitive world of 1990s dog racing, but I'm pretty sure this qualifies as cheating.
I'd never heard of this Taylor Lianne Chandler chick before seeing these pictures of her birthday party at HeadQuarters Gentlemen's Club in New York, because I don't follow tabloid gossip (unless it involves actually important stuff, like bikini pictures). But then I did a little research and it turns out she used to date Michael Phelps and the whole thing is one seriously crazy story. And all I know is, if it's true, then Phelps should win another gold medal for having the most interesting girlfriend of all-time.

It may not even be Thanksgiving yet on this side of the Atlantic, but over in London, Now Magazine held their annual Christmas Party, and somehow they managed to get Nicola McLean and her epic funbags to show up to celebrate with them. And after seeing how much cleavage she busted out, I'd like to officially extend Nicola an invite to the Tuna office Christmas party next month. Granted, that just means me and the Little Tuna in my mom's basement drinking (or in other words, a normal workday), but hey, it'll be open bar, if that helps.

Traditionally, us journalists aren't exactly known for our looks — and yes, I'm counting myself as a journalist. Stop laughing. Anyway, that's all about to change after these pictures of Spanish reporter Sara Carbonero wearing one awesomely see-through shirt at the launch of her new book "Being A Woman" in Madrid. If Sara really wants to be taken seriously as a professional hottie though, next time she should forget to wear a bra underneath, but I'll let it slide this time. It's a classic rookie mistake.

I know that you perverts rely on me for all your late-breaking news when it comes to the world of up-and-coming hotties, but I can't say that I have a whole lot of insider info on Christina Makowski here, besides the obvious: that she's an instant pants fire. It's not for lack of trying though. I did an exhaustive 45-second Google search, my new personal best. But all I was able to learn from that is that Christina's Instagram is a great place to lose yourself in for a few hours and that I have no self-control. So just enjoy.
-This is big trouble
-OMG! She is damn cute
-Can you say BOOBS!
-Gwyneth Paltrow is Marilyn Monroe
-Check out this booty!
-Wow! Those are some short shorts!
-Mmm… Hot girls night out
-I'd eat this booty
As you probably could've guessed, I'm not usually a big fan of button-down shirts. My "fancy" wardrobe pretty much tops out at tuxedo t-shirts. But I've got to admit I'm starting to come around after this photoshoot. According to my sources, this hottie is Swedish model Ela Rose, although after these shots, I think she could have a bright future as a fashion expert ahead of her, because the girl definitely knows how to dress. Wow.

I was going to blog about something completely different this morning... but my thoughts were kind of disjointed and I decided I'd best let THAT blog percolate for a while before I write it.
Then my brother went and mentioned some real numbers in his blog about his maintenance range, and I figure I'd talk turkey to those of us small-framed women out here in Spark land trying so hard to lose the pounds and being frustrated at times.
Here's the deal. The weight maintenance game is rigged. Yeppers. Rigged.
First off, normal male body composition contains less fat and more muscle than ours does as the carriers of the progeny. When I see my body fat percentage in the 20% range, I'm doing very well. A guy? Would have to be below 15% to be as fit and healthy as I am at 20%.
This means, with a higher percentage of muscle mass, the gents burn more calories even if they are the same weight as me!
This is NORMAL, and it's OK. I like being female. Would NOT swap!
Second, guys "on average" are larger framed than we are. My son tops me by eight or nine inches. My brother by a similar amount. And lest we forget, they both work out, too. So, with a larger body mass, they require more calories to maintain.
This, too, is NORMAL, and it's OK. I like fitting into smaller spaces and being able to FIT in tourist class on an airplane without feeling my legs are being cramped!
But still, it is somewhat of an eye opener to realize that for them? A normal maintenance range comes out to a binge day for me!
Life is not fair. But it's still good. Weight loss for us ladies may take more work. But, it's still worth it! I love being me. I love being me at my "tiny" size. And if that means I can only have half the calories of my muscular male relatives, so be it... it also means I only NEED half the calories to thrive.
Spark on!
My 2012 was dominated by my keen awareness of my son being offshore, keen awareness of my sister in law's illness, and my need to deal with my response to these two items.
I used the athletic outings and training for them as my ways to cope with a worrying / anxious nature. It really does help to be active. I feel better, as though I am *doing* something when I run, or swim, or bike, or even go for a walk. And there is something about the rhythmic activity and breathing that allows for meditation / prayer / processing of those feelings, and for thinking through problems. And as each of the events started, I invoke those two names as my inspiration to complete them.
A really great aspect of 2012 was the contact with several real live Spark people... I shared some time in real space with Mary (Love_2_Laugh), and with Becky (KaliGirl), both of whom I met for the first time in 2011. I ran in some of the same local events as Deanna (Hot4Fitness) who had talked me into my first half marathon in 2011. I look forward to seeing her at some point in the 2013 event, too.
In 2012 I met for the first time in real space Marsha (Slenderella61) when I traveled to Florida where she lives, and got as a bonus to also meet Monty (Mirage727) and his wife D (DSSecrets), and made a special side trip just to meet Debra (Debra0818) whose blogs I adore.
In 2012, one of my Spark blogs got featured for the first time (The Mud Run Story) and since then several have been so honored. That was rather heady, but I've survived it.
In short, 2012 has been a great Spark Year... and now comes the time to be planning for what kind of year I would like 2013 to be.
I hit a wall when I began to think about "what's next" prior to that Women's HM in Florida in November. I dragged my feet and refused to make a decision before I got home. When the Lincoln Marathon sign ups came around, it all came clear for me, and I have my anchor athletic goal for 2013. At this point, I have no desire to line up more than just that one.
Why? Because I have a tendency, I have learned, to commit to one bridge too far. This in turn results in burnout, and reversals. So for now, one single athletic goal: complete a full marathon, 26.2 miles, on May 5, 2013. I am already starting to train for it. If I run any events between now and then, they will simply be events that fit into the training plan and become a part of it.
My hope for 2013 is that it be a simple, unexciting year. I think I'm ready for that. Happy New Year to us!
A few years ago I took a brief class on writing a business document, led by a professional technical writer. One of the things she told us was that good writing should be invisible. If all that is seen is the message, and the reader doesn't notice the words, you've done your job.
This morning as I made my rounds of my favorite Spark blogs, I came across one where the writer expressed her discomfort with too much focus on the physical aspects of weight loss process, on the body. She mentioned that she wanted attention, but didn't want the focus of the attention to be the body.
My mind went back to that class. We want to be seen as ourselves, we don't want the body getting in the way of relating to others. Too much focus on the body (medium, words), takes away from seeing the person who lives there (message).
It was certainly true of me that I used my heavy body to deliver a message. In my head, I thought I was saying "This woman is here for her mind and what she can contribute". I thought I was saying "This woman is not interested in anyone who is so shallow as to be attracted by purely physical traits, you must love her for her mind and soul." It was my armor to keep people at bay that did not want to get to know the real me.
I don't think that was always the message that was received on the part of those who saw me, and it leaves out some important things... like that I have to live in this body, and it gets physically difficult if you're carting around excess padding. We won't even mention the additional risk of certain kinds of disease.
What enabled me to trim down / edit the body size is a process. I tried many tools over the decades and they all worked until I would hit the wall of reversal. I think one of the reasons I kept regaining was too much focus did come onto the physical body. I would have to find ways to use my voice and my words to express the messages I needed to deliver. And while that still scared me too much? Saying out loud what I wasn't ready to admit to myself I thought or felt? Guess what? The pounds come back! Almost by magic.
So... the deal is... it's yet another skill set to be learned while we lose the pounds... setting our boundaries... establishing the beachhead of SELF... and using the voice to keep others at bay when they invade our comfort zone.
What was different about THIS time through losing (now in year 3 of maintaining the loss) is that I insisted throughout that the goal was NOT a number on the scale, NOT a body size. The goal was to find healthy ways of eating and being active, and the scale and the measuring tape would take care of themselves.
They did... I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams. But I *did* have to fight off those who wanted to focus too much on the physical for my comfort. And find ways to use my words to do so.
Because in the end... we don't need to "lose weight", per se... we need to nurture ourselves and take care of our body... because it is the medium of the message... and the message (self) is our mission to the world!
I know this will not resonate with EVERY reader of my blogs, but for those of you who struggle with discomfort at compliments that focus on "how much have you lost", "you're a different person!", etc., we are sisters and brothers under the skin. We are the survivors of obesity. But there is so much more to each of us than body size.
From where I sit now? At my natural body size, and working hard to stay here? Life is good. I'm still me (as you will still be you, if you're still working on it). And we are all worth taking care of ... today and every day. Spark on!
Some long time readers have heard this story before, so feel free to skip this one if you have, but you know how it happens, someone asks a question and you realize there are folks who walked in on the middle of the blog-stream. So... as a reminder / reinforcement to myself, as well as to let the newbies in on this part, here goes.
In 2008 / 2009 the doctor showed me the results of tests showing significant bone loss in the two years he'd been monitoring. At the same visit, he observed that my blood tests continued to show high levels of calcium. In short, while I was getting enough calcium in my diet and with my supplements, it wasn't translating into bone. Very disturbing.
So he sent me to a specialist, who diagnosed a problem with my parathyroid glands. At the time, I was drinking five or six cans of diet soda a day, and trying to cut back. By the time all this diagnosing was completed, and I got scheduled for surgery to correct the parathyroid problem, I had managed to get myself down to three a day, but I loved my bubbles. Some people don't like the bubbles, but that was the attraction for me.
Anyhow, surgery was successful, and I was reading how the carbonation in beverages was linked to bone loss! Well, duh! My continuing to drink the bubbly stuff was kind of analogous to a lung cancer patient continuing to smoke. So... I cut back further. I allowed myself ONE a day. At work, after my first break, or after lunch was my special treat time.
I set myself a Spark goal, and gave myself a "goal met" for every day I had no more than 1. We all know about the stupid motivational tricks of Spark... they work. I found myself not drinking soda at home on the weekends. Days with 0.
At Christmas dinner, 2009, which was December 27th, due to a huge snow storm, I had what I was determined would be my LAST diet cola. And I started giving myself a star sticker on the calendar for every day I made it with none. At first it was easy... it was Winter and I was substituting coffee for my beverage treat.
I was concerned about the hot weather, but somehow I made it through. I debated with myself about allowing one on the 4th of July, but my Higher Power intervened and my sister forgot to buy any for the celebration that was at her house. Lemonade was just fine.
By the time I reached a year, I threw myself a virtual party, stopped using the stickers, and sometime in the second year I just became an ordinary person who doesn't do bubbles. BUT... I still celebrate the anniversary of becoming carbonation free.
Now, for the benefits, since you've walked through the process with me:
1. Bone loss quit happening. This is HUGE!
2. Surprisingly, I noticed during food lapses, when I got full, soda used to clear up extra space and extend the binge. I found my lapsy - bingy behavior stopped sooner. Maintenance of a healthy weight became easier... and keep in mind, what I gave up was not the sugary soda, but the diet soda.
3. And of course, there is the infamous grocery bill. Soda costs $. It's an expensive habit. So is coffee, but it was a fair swap.
Some people are sensitive to artificial sweeteners in bad ways. I have not observed myself to be one of them, but if you are, this could also be a benefit.
So, without the bubbles? Life's still good. In fact, for me, it's better. If you're considering this as a goal for 2013, it's a good one... Spark on!
More years ago than either of us would like to think, my mother brought home a new, wrinkled, red creature in a basket. It cried. I know, Dad loved showing that slide.
Over the years, the little dude in that basket became my best friend and playmate. He outstripped me in so many ways... competition? Sibling rivalry? We joke about it, but it makes both of us somehow better. So, if you're of a mind, and know him, wish MOBYCARP a happy birthday!
Second observance: December 27, 2009 was the date I last had a carbonated beverage. Best thing I ever did for my own long-term success, and in ways I did NOT expect. So today, I celebrate 3 years soda-free.
Third observance: I woke up without the miseries this morning, and that's always cause for celebration! One day at a time.
Today's pep talk: leave for work early. Be prepared for snow that's supposed to start in a few hours. Drive carefully on the way home, beware of the icy patches covered by new snow. And keep your work priorities straight. Get the most important things done, and remember to breathe.
I packed my lunch before I went to bed, anticipating I might have to shovel this morning, but it hasn't started yet. Yay!
Life is good. Spark on!

About the Author
For the past two decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best-selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of biological concepts, include multiple editions of BIOLOGY: THE UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW. Her original dream was to become an architect. Instead of building houses, she now builds, with care and attention to detail, incredible texts based on this philosophy: "I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice." Christine Evers has been creating multimedia and Web-based materials to supplement Starr and other science texts for ten years. She earned her B.S. in Biology from SUNY Stony Brook. After working as a research assistant studying the developmental biology of slime mold, she was awarded an N.S.F. fellowship to attend Yale, where she studied evolutionary biology and honeybee behavior. She has a strong interest in science education and serves as a member of her local school board. Lisa Starr has been responsible for the incredible art in the Starr biology textbooks for many years. She has worked at as a research scientist at The Scripps Institute as well as several other institutions. Her area of expertise is biochemistry, molecular and cell biology.

Aug 8, 2012The most disgusting show I've ever viewed in my entire life! As if "Toddlers n' Tiaras" wasn't bad enough...now this! Is this what television has to resort to...people who are of no class, morals or integrity, making big bucks off of their disgraceful language, absolutely no manners, horrible physical presentation, clearly lacking class, amongst other things I choose to refrain from saying here, as I do pride myself on having class. I've said more than this disgusting show is even worthy of...will never watch again!… Full Review »

Reviews the development of radiowave propagation research in Russia. The action of the first radio set in Russia was demonstrated by A.S. Popov (1895) Chernischov (1916) was the first in Russia to recognize the role of the high conducting layers of the atmosphere in radio propagation. Later on, Schuleikin (1923) described a study of a radio refraction in the Earth's atmosphere. He found the equations for the refractive index and index of attenuation. Relying on the `ionic refraction' theory he anticipated the explanation of some pure ionospheric effects

the roller of big cigars has brain cancer
Two days ago (May 20) Chris Matthews on his nightly TV show Hardball likened Ted Kennedy to the "man in the poem" - the poem being Wallace Stevens's "The Emperor of Ice Cream." Click here and listen to a brief excerpt of the show. For Chris, the poem is about the life-force, the one guy who's completely alive in the atmosphere of death. Maybe he's put his finger on the poem's essential antic quality. Well, maybe not. But it's certainly an illuminating way to think about this particular Kennedy. Death all around, so there's got to be someone whom we can call who will constantly remind us of life's ongoing fecundity, the wenches dawdling in their usual dresses; the boys, oogling; the creamy messes prepared in the kitchen; as many drinking joking jaunts in one's boat in the bay as one has time left for.
Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
the Roth-Obama presidency
"I always joke," Barack Obama told Jeffrey Goldberg for Goldberg's new piece in the Atlantic, "that my intellectual formation was through Jewish scholars and writers, even though I didn't know it at the time. Whether it was theologians or Philip Roth who helped shape my sensibility...."
Philip Roth helped shape Barack Obama's sensibility.
In yesterday's Slate Cultural Gabfest the three hyper-articulate gabbers noted, half-jokingly, that if Bill Clinton was our first black president, perhaps Barack Obama will be our first Jewish president.
Goldberg has written this: "Obama told me that his sensibility was partially shaped by the books of Philip Roth. This obviously has profound implications for American foreign policy, and for shiksas, as well. And so, a reader contest. In a couple of pithy sentences, tell us what the first 100 days of a Roth-influenced Obama presidency would look like."
Andrew Sullivan in "The Daily Dish" blog creates an entry called "The Obama-Roth Presidency."
Back in February here's what Roth had to say about Obama:
Roth: I'm interested in the fact that he's black. I feel the race issue in this country is more important than the feminist issue. I think that the importance to blacks would be tremendous. He's an attractive man, he's smart, he happens to be tremendously articulate. His position in the Democratic Party is more or less okay with me. And I think it would be important to American blacks if he became president.
SPIEGEL: Is Barack Obama black enough?
Roth: I know this discussion goes on, but I think it will disappear if he gets the nomination. The reality of his running will wash that away. Anybody who's half white and half black is considered black anyway. That's one drop of blood.
...and takes sides
Jason Schneiderman has written a review of my new book, Counter-Revolution of the Word. Here is an excerpt:
"His method is painstakingly thorough, and the sheer amount of research is stunning. His ability to put the period in context is remarkable, and he's often able to show the way that what might look like a purely aesthetic disagreement is often grounded in a larger political conflict. The attention of the book is often minute in scope, tracing the smallest capillaries of the organs of attack, telling individual stories and slowly building up the story through a steady accretion of quotations. While most of the book presents archival research, Filreis takes sides when the modernist toolbox is under attack, and passionately defends the right of writers to work in non-traditional modes...."
seeing with 1,000 eyes
"Discord when it's true has the conspiracy pinned." It surely does.
That's my favorite line in Lyn Hejinian's sequence called The Little Book of a Thousand Eyes. The chapbook itself is rare. It was published in Boulder by Smoke-Proof Press in 1996. The typescript of the book, presumably a draft, is already in her archive of papers at UCSD (here's the register for that growing collection). If you go to Amazon you'll find it "currently unavailable." Lyn herself has just one copy. And the Thousand Eyes poems haven't been collected elsewhere, although probably some of them were published individually in various places.
But in 2005, when Lyn Hejinian last read at the Writers House here, she read 19 of the little "eyes" from this work. Fantastic stuff. My favorite at the moment is a piece full of grammatical switches and misplacements, the first line of which is "Here in a sudden of this to Caesar." The line quoted at the top of this entry is from it. Click here and listen to the 41-second recording of this poem.

I saw the zerona treatment on Dr.oz so I thought I would look into it. I did my research and saw conflicting reviews about zerona but decided to try it any way. I got the 9 pkg treatment and have been drinking tons of water, eating healthy and doing a bootcamp cardio everyday and there has been NO RESULTS! I actually look fatter than when I came in! It's like the fat is multiplying instead of shrinking! I have 3 more treatments to go but this is a waste of time and money.

Brooklyn rapper Fabolous recently gave props to fellow borough rhyme spitter and hip-hop veteran, AZ, citing his flow plus witty wordplay as assets for any successor emcees to admire.
In Fab's eyes, the original Firm member still does not get the respect he deserves, even though he's been rhyming for almost two decades.
"I grew up listening to AZ and Nas, you know, he's one of the lyricists that I feel doesn't get a lot of recognition, but I know a lot of people listened to him coming up," Fab said in an interview referring to AZ. "His word play and the way he made words rhyme was particularly how I [modeled my word play]. I always paid attention to anybody who raps in a similar format, similar approaches to styles. Salute [to] AZ. I seen [him] a couple times in the supermarket, we both live in the same kind of neighborhood. I don't want to disclose where he lives– I really don't know where he lives — but, I seen him out at the supermarket before." (XXL Mag)
Earlier in the year, AZ crowned himself as SOHH Underrated.
"At the end of the day, I just feel like I'm really underrated. Everybody should have AZ on their Top 5 favorites of all-time. Right now I'm cool with it. Before, people would say "this" is their best emcee or "that" is their best emcee for whatever reason. I always knew I could hold a sword up against them. I always felt like I was very competitive, but nowadays, it's more like it's a hustle, it's a grind." (SOHH Underrated)
In early August, AZ hinted at an upcoming rap game takeover courtesy of him and Nas.
"Friends become strangers just to destroy an rebuild… Nas u think they ready? D*mn the rap game is about to get a face lift!!! I'm reloaded," he tweeted August 4th. (AZ's Twitter)
In December, the rapper reflected on Nas' relevance in hip-hop.
"He's legendary in the game, that's my man," AZ said in an interview with Mikey T The Movie Star. "Everything is a blessing. Like I said, just being here and doing what I'm doing is a blessing. And you know with the work that Nas put in, it's self-explanatory, it's my boy. I mean that's him, you always seen he was going that route. He's for the peoples, man. We all go through our lives and journeys and people pick different paths and I think that's a good path. We need it out here." (Movie Star Status DVD)
