Finally, it's time. Week 1 of the NFL season is upon us. No more games that don't count. No more wondering how your draft went. It's time to start playing some actual games. As we gear up for the first week of the year I'll take a look back on the draft season and give some thoughts on players that were overlooked or overhyped during fantasy football draft season. DROPPING SOME STATISTICAL KNOWLEDGE – THE HYPE TRAIN I'm going to focus on two wideouts for the Patriots in this section. Danny Amendola is the top wide receiver in a Patriots offense that is led by Tom Brady. That's as good a place as any receiver can hope to be. However, it still shocks me how much love that Amendola is getting as folks are drafting him as a WR1 in PPR leagues. Some thoughts. 1 – Danny has appeared in a total of 12 games the past two seasons. That's 12 of 32 games or 37.5 percent of the contests. In his four seasons he has averaged 10.5 games a year. 2 – Danny has only one season of 65 catches. One. 3 – Danny has never caught enough passes to give him 700 yards in a season. Never. 4 – Danny has scored seven times in his career with a season high of three. Three. Folks, Malcolm Floyd caught 56 balls for 814 yards and five touchdowns last season. Amendola, if he stays healthy, could easily push 100 receptions. Betting on him to stay healthy, and double the level of production we've ever seen from him to this point of his career, doesn't that seem like a huge risk? Kenbrell Thompkins is being drafted by some folks as a WR3 after a huge preseason (he had a that very impressive game against the Lions with eight grabs for 116 yards). I simply cannot understand that logic. Here's why. 1 – First off, and I show this in my 2013 Fantasy Football Draft Guide, over the past four seasons just 17 percent of rookie wideouts have seasons worthy of starting in fantasy football. That's less than one in five. 2 – NFL teams don't always get it right, in fact it's shocking how many times they get it wrong given how much energy/effort is put into drafting players, but did every single team get it wrong here? Remember, Thompkins wasn't drafted this year. Every team in the league passed on him. Before the Draft he was compared to Andre Caldwell at NFL.com. Does that say 'fantasy star' to you? It certainly shouldn't. Speaking of undrafted wideouts... I did a bit of research, and while it was no means an in-depth study funded to the hilt, even a cursory look at the history of players in just such a position certainly points out that there isn't much of a track record of success. The best undrafted free agents who played wideout in NFL history follow: Wayne Chrebet, Rod Smith and Wes Welker. Chrebet had two 75 catch seasons and three with 900 yards. Smith was a superstar in Denver who had five 85 catch seasons and he went over 1,000 yards eight times as he made three Pro Bowls. Welker is still playing, and you know how elite he's been. Still, let's look at the trio's rookie numbers. Even though they all had impressive careers – obviously Welker's is still going – it's not like they were world beaters in year one (and remember, these are the best undrafted free agent WRs in NFL history). Chrebet: 66 receptions, 726 yards, four scores. Smith: 22 receptions, 389 yards, three scores.*** Welker: Nothing. +++ *** Those numbers are actually from Smith's first two seasons. +++ Welker didn't catch a pass his first season and went for just 29-434-0 in year two. Just because those three did this or didn't do that doesn't mean we know what Thompkins will do. I'm just trying to point out that history is squarely against Thompkins having a bust out rookie season in which he is an option to be a weekly starter. Tom Brady will throw the football to whomever is open, we know that, so if Kenbrell is running free he will get the ball. Just do yourself a favor and remember that history is against Thompkins as is the Patriots spread the ball approach – it's very difficult to predict which secondary options in the Patriots' offense will excel from week-to-week. WEEKLY FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE I'm going to describe to you a way you can play fantasy football – against me. Thanks to Fanduel.com you will be able to take me on each week in fantasy football in a salary cap game. Chose your team and take me down. Should be a lot of fun. Take On The Oracle In Fantasy Football. OVERLOOKED OPTION IN BACKFIELD? Who am I? I ran for more yards last season that Ray Rice, Matt Forte, Trent Richardson and LeSean McCoy last season. I wasn't drafted before any of those four this season. I ran for more scores last season than C.J. Spiller, Chris Johnson, Reggie Bush and Jamaal Charles. I wasn't drafted before any of those four this season. I averaged more yards per carry than Doug Martin, Steven Ridley, Arian Foster and Steven Jackson. I wasn't drafted before any of those four this season. I've run for 1,200 yards in each of the past two seasons. Only two other men have done that – Foster and Marshawn Lynch. I run behind the best offensive line in football. I'm Frank Gore. OVERLOOKED OPTION AT WR? I had more receptions than Percy Harvin, Dwayne Bowe, Cecil Shorts, Hakeem Nicks and Josh Gordon last season. I had more receiving yards than Randall Cobb, Miles Austin, Anquan Boldin, Torrey Smith and Mike Wallace. I scored more times than Wallace, Vincent Jackson, Cobb, Roddy White, Jordy Nelson Wes Welker and Calvin Johnson. In fact, I'm one of only 10 wide receivers who had at least 975 receiving yards and nine touchdowns in 2012. I'm the Buccaneers' Mike Williams and I've gone for 950 yards and nine scores in two of the past three seasons. OVERLOOKED OPTION AT TE? I had more yards last season than Heath Miller, Rob Gronkowski, Owen Daniels and Jermichael Finley. I had more receptions last year than Jermaine Gresham, Dennis Pitta, Finley, Gronkowski and Antonio Gates. I had more touchdowns than Jason Witten, Brandon Myers, Jared Cook and Finley. I've scored at least five touchdowns in 5-straight seasons. I caught a career best 69 balls for 843 yards last season. I'm the Panthers' Greg Olsen.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Thomas Sowell: What happens when 'educators' become something else?
Among the factors he cited were the country's educators. That struck me as odd, and not very plausible, at the time. But the passing years have made that seem less and less odd, and more and more plausible. Today, I see our own educators playing a similar role in creating a mindset that undermines American society.
Schools were once thought of as places where a society's knowledge and experience were passed on to the younger generation. But, about a hundred years ago, Professor John Dewey of Columbia University came up with a very different conception of education - one that has spread through American schools of education, and even influenced education in countries overseas.
John Dewey saw the role of the teacher, not as a transmitter of a society's culture to the young, but as an agent of change - someone strategically placed, with an opportunity to condition students to want a different kind of society.
A century later, we are seeing schools across America indoctrinating students to believe in all sorts of politically correct notions. The history that is taught in too many of our schools is a history that emphasizes everything that has gone bad, or can be made to look bad, in America - and that gives little, if any, attention to the great achievements of this country.
If you think that is an exaggeration, get a copy of "A People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn and read it. As someone who used to read translations of official Communist newspapers in the days of the Soviet Union, I know that those papers' attempts to degrade the United States did not sink quite as low as Howard Zinn's book.
That book has sold millions of copies, poisoning the minds of millions of students in schools and colleges against their own country. But this book is one of many things that enable teachers to think of themselves as "agents of change," without having the slightest accountability for whether that change turns out to be for the better or for the worse - or, indeed, utterly catastrophic.
This misuse of schools to undermine one's own society is not something confined to the United States or even to our own time. It is common in Western countries for educators, the media and the intelligentsia in general, to single out Western civilization for special condemnation for sins that have been common to the human race, in all parts of the world, for thousands of years.
Meanwhile, all sorts of fictitious virtues are attributed to non-Western societies, and their worst crimes are often passed over in silence, or at least shrugged off by saying some such thing as "Who are we to judge?"
Even in the face of mortal dangers, political correctness forbids us to use words like "terrorist" when the approved euphemism is "militant." Milder terms such as "illegal alien" likewise cannot pass the political correctness test, so it must be replaced by another euphemism, "undocumented worker."
Some think that we must tiptoe around in our own country, lest some foreigners living here or visiting here be offended by the sight of an American flag or a Christmas tree in some institutions.
In France between the two World Wars, the teachers' union decided that schools should replace patriotism with internationalism and pacifism. Books that told the story of the heroic defense of French soldiers against the German invaders at Verdun in 1916, despite suffering massive casualties, were replaced by books that spoke impartially about the suffering of all soldiers - both French and German - at Verdun.
Germany invaded France again in 1940, and this time the world was shocked when the French surrendered after just 6 weeks of fighting - especially since military experts expected France to win. But two decades of undermining French patriotism and morale had done their work.
American schools today are similarly undermining American society as one unworthy of defending, either domestically or internationally. If there were nuclear attacks on American cities, how long would it take for us to surrender, even if we had nuclear superiority - but were not as willing to die as our enemies were?

D'IBERVILLE, Miss. (AP) – It's been 2½ years since ground was broken for Ocean Expo along Interstate 10 in D'Iberville but the aquarium is no closer to being built there.
Moby Solangi, president of Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, told the city in January he was having an acoustic study done to determine if the proximity to the roads under construction along the site would hurt the dolphins. Solangi said he would let the city know by February if the property was still suitable for the aquarium.
Solangi tells The Sun Herald the study of noise levels has taken longer than expected as they waited for the exact placement of the new roads. He now expects the study will be complete within a month.
City officials say they have not heard from Solangi.

Outgoing Chief Lane Roberts announced last week he would be retiring at the end of March after 7 years as chief; Burns has served with the Joplin Police Department since 1996 and has been assistant chief since 2008. Burns tells News Talk KZRG he's learned a lot from Roberts:
"When I first started out we took people to jail and didn't really think about how that affects people. We look at that more, and try to treat people as people, and I think that's a great thing. I'm excited to get to this position, I've worked my entire career to get here and I think I'll be able to utilize the knowledge of the past chiefs in the future."
He also says crime prevention will be a goal:
"We've been going into a positive direction under Chief Roberts. We've reduced crime and accidents, so I want to continue in that direction, but I also want to change focus a bit. We can't remain stagnant, so I think the future direction of the JPD will be focused more on crime analysis and seeing if we can predict crimes before they happen, and in turn lower the crime rate."

Thomas Stearns Eliot, OM (September 26, 1888 – January 4, 1965) was an American (naturalised British) poet, dramatist, and literary critic, whose works, such as The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, The Waste Land, "The Hollow Men", and Four Quartets, are considered defining achievements of twentieth century Modernist poetry. In 1948 he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was one of the most influential poets of the 20th century.
Early life and education
Eliot was born into a prominent family from St. Louis, Missouri. Later, he said that "having passed one's childhood beside the big river" (the Mississippi) influenced his poetry. His father, Henry Ware Eliot (1843–1919), was a successful businessman, president and treasurer of the Hydraulic-Press Brick Company in St. Louis; his mother, née Charlotte Chauncy Stearns (1843–1929), taught school prior to marriage, and wrote poems. He was their last child; his parents were 44 years old when he was born. His four surviving sisters were about eleven to nineteen years older than he, and his brother, eight years older.
William Greenleaf Eliot, Eliot's grandfather, was a Unitarian minister who moved to St. Louis when it was still on the frontier and was instrumental in founding many of the city's institutions, including Washington University in St. Louis. One distant cousin was Charles William Eliot, President of Harvard University from 1869 to 1909, and a fifth cousin, another Thomas Eliot, was Chancellor of Washington University. Eliot's works often allude to his youth in St. Louis (there was a Prufrock furniture store in town) and to New England. (His family had Massachusetts ties and summered at a large cottage they had built in Gloucester, MA. The cottage, close to the shore at Eastern Point, had a view of the sea and the young Eliot would often go sailing.)
From 1898 to 1905, Eliot was a day student at St. Louis's Smith Academy, a preparatory school for Washington University. At the academy, Eliot studied Latin, Greek, French and German. Although, upon graduation, he could have gone to Harvard University, his parents sent him, for a preparatory year, to Milton Academy, in Milton, Massachusetts, near Boston. There, he met Scofield Thayer, who would later publish The Waste Land. He studied at Harvard from 1906 to 1909, where he earned his B.A.. The Harvard Advocate published some of his poems, and he became life-long friends with Conrad Aiken. The following year, he earned a master's degree at Harvard. In the 1910–1911 school year, Eliot lived in Paris, studying at the Sorbonne and touring the continent. Returning to Harvard in 1911 as a doctoral student in philosophy, Eliot studied the writings of F.H. Bradley, Buddhism, and Indic philology, (learning Sanskrit and Pāli to read some of the religious texts.) He was awarded a scholarship to attend Merton College, Oxford in 1914, and before settling there, he visited Marburg, Germany, where he planned to take a summer program in philosophy. When World War I broke out, however, he went to London and then to Oxford. Eliot was not happy at Merton and declined a second year of attendance. Instead, in the summer of 1915, he married, and, after a short visit to the U.S. to meet with his family (not taking his wife), he took a few teaching jobs. He continued to work on his dissertation and, in the spring of 1916, sent it to Harvard, which accepted it. Because he did not appear in person to defend the thesis, however, he was not awarded his Ph.D. (In 1964, the dissertation was published as Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F. H. Bradley.) During Eliot's university career, he studied with George Santayana, Irving Babbitt, Henri Bergson, C. R. Lanman, Josiah Royce, Bertrand Russell, and Harold Joachim.
Later life in England
In a letter to Aiken late in December 1914, Eliot complained that he was still a virgin (he was 26), adding "I am very dependent upon women. I mean female society." Less than four months later he was introduced by a fellow American at Oxford, Scofield Thayer, [1] to Vivienne Haigh-Wood (May 28, 1888–January 22, 1947), a Cambridge governess. On 26 June 1915, Eliot and Vivien (the name she preferred), respectively aged 26 and 27 years old, were married in a register office. Bertrand Russell took an interest in Vivienne while the newlyweds were staying with Russell in his flat. Some critics have suggested that Vivien and Russell had an affair (see Carole Seymour-Jones, Painted Shadow), but these allegations have never been confirmed. In the 1960s, Eliot would write: "I came to persuade myself that I was in love with [Vivienne] simply because I wanted to burn my boats and commit myself to staying in England. And she persuaded herself (also under the influence of Pound) that she would save the poet by keeping him in England. To her the marriage brought no happiness. To me it brought the state of mind out of which came The Waste Land."
After leaving Merton, Eliot worked as a school teacher, most notably at Highgate School where he is famous for teaching the young poet Sir John Betjeman and also at The Royal Grammar School, High Wycombe where he taught in room 26, and, to earn extra money, wrote book reviews and lectured at evening extension courses. In 1917, he took a position at Lloyds Bank in London where he worked on foreign accounts. In 1925, he left Lloyds to become a director of the publishing firm of Faber and Gwyer (later Faber and Faber) where he remained for the rest of his career.
In 1927 Eliot took British citizenship and converted to Anglicanism (on June 29). Eliot separated from Vivienne in 1933, and in 1938 Vivienne was committed to Northumberland House, a mental hospital north of London where she died in 1947 without ever having been visited by her husband.
From 1946 to 1957 Eliot shared a house with his close friend, the editor and critic John Davy Hayward, who gathered and archived Eliot's papers and styled himself Keeper of the Eliot Archive. He also edited a book of Eliot's verse called Poems Written in Early Youth. When they separated their household in 1957 Hayward retained his collection of Eliot's papers, which he bequeathed to King's College, Cambridge in 1965.
Eliot's second marriage was happy, but short. On January 10, 1957 he married Esmé Valerie Fletcher, to whom he was introduced by Collin Brooks. In sharp contrast to his first marriage, Eliot knew Valerie well, as she had been his secretary at Faber and Faber since August, 1949. As was his marriage to Vivienne, the wedding was kept a secret in order to preserve his privacy. The ceremony was held in a church at 6:15 a.m. with virtually no one other than his wife's parents in attendance. Valerie was thirty-eight years younger than her husband, and the years of her widowhood have been spent preserving his legacy; she has edited and annotated The Letters of T.S. Eliot and a facsimile of the draft of The Waste Land.
Eliot died of emphysema in London on January 4, 1965. For many years he had health problems owing to the combination of London air and his heavy smoking, often being laid low with bronchitis or tachycardia. His body was cremated and, according to Eliot's wishes, the ashes taken to St. Michael's Church in East Coker, the village from which Eliot's ancestors emigrated to America. There, a simple plaque commemorates him. On the second anniversary of his death a large stone placed on the floor of Poets' Corner in London's Westminster Abbey was dedicated to Eliot. This commemoration contains his name, an indication that he had received the Order of Merit, dates, and a quotation from Little Gidding: "the communication / Of the dead is tongued with fire beyond / the language of the living."
Later in his life, Eliot exchanged numerous letters with the comedian Groucho Marx. A portrait of Marx, which Eliot had requested, was proudly displayed in Eliot's home next to pictures of the poets Yeats and Valery.
Literary career
Eliot made his home in London. After the war, in the mid 1920s, he would spend time with other great artists in the Montparnasse Quarter in Paris, where he was photographed by Man Ray. French poetry was a particularly strong influence on Eliot's work, in particular Charles Baudelaire, whose clear-cut images of Paris city life provided a model for Eliot's own images of London. He dabbled early in the study of Sanskrit and eastern religions and was a student of G. I. Gurdjieff. Eliot's work, following his conversion to Christianity and the Church of England, is often religious in nature and also tries to preserve historical English and broadly European values that Eliot thought important. In 1928, Eliot summarised his beliefs well when he wrote in the preface to his book For Lancelot Andrewes that "The general point of view [of the book's essays] may be described as classicist in literature, royalist in politics, and anglo-catholic in religion." This period includes such major works as Ash Wednesday, The Journey of the Magi, and Four Quartets.
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
In 1915, Ezra Pound, overseas editor of Poetry magazine, recommended to Harriet Monroe, the magazine's founder, that she publish "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." Although Prufrock seems to be middle-aged, Eliot wrote most of the poem when he was only 22. Its now-famous opening lines, comparing the evening sky to "a patient etherised upon a table," were considered shocking and offensive, especially at a time when the poetry of the Georgians was hailed for its derivations of the 19th century Romantic Poets. The poem then follows the conscious experience of a man, Prufrock, (relayed in the "stream of consciousness" form indicative of the Modernists) lamenting his physical and intellectual inertia, the lost opportunities in his life and lack of spiritual progress, with the recurrent theme of carnal love unattained. Critical opinion is divided as to whether the narrator even leaves his own residence during the course of the narration. The locations described can be interpreted either as actual physical experiences, mental recollections or even as symbolic images from the sub-conscious mind, as, for example, in the refrain "In the room the women come and go."
Its mainstream reception can be gauged from a review in The Times Literary Supplement on June 21, 1917: "The fact that these things occurred to the mind of Mr. Eliot is surely of the very smallest importance to anyone, even to himself. They certainly have no relation to poetry..." [2] [3].
The poem's structure was heavily influenced by Eliot's extensive reading of Dante Alighieri (in the Italian). References to Shakespeare's Hamlet and other literary works are present in the poem: this technique of allusion and quotation was developed in Eliot's subsequent poetry.
The Waste Land
In October 1922, Eliot published The Waste Land in The Criterion. Composed during a period of personal difficulty for Eliot--his marriage was failing, and both he and Vivienne suffered from disordered nerves--The Waste Land is often read as a representation of the disillusionment of the post-war generation. Even before The Waste Land had been published as a book (December 1922), Eliot distanced himself from the poem's vision of despair; "As for The Waste Land, that is a thing of the past so far as I am concerned and I am now feeling toward a new form and style" he wrote to Richard Aldington on November 15, 1922. Despite the alleged obscurity of the poem--its slippage between satire and prophecy; its abrupt changes of speaker, location, and time; its elegiac but intimidating summoning up of a vast and dissonant range of cultures and literatures--it has become a touchstone of modern literature, a poetic counterpart to a novel published in the same year, James Joyce's Ulysses. Among its famous phrases are "April is the cruellest month"; "I will show you fear in a handful of dust"; and "Shantih shantih shantih," the utterance in Sanskrit which closes the poem.
Eliot's work was hailed by the W.H. Auden generation of 1930s poets. On one occasion Auden read out loud the whole of The Waste Land to a social gathering. The publication of the draft manuscript of the poem in 1972 showed the strong influence of Ezra Pound upon its final form, prior to which it had been entitled "He Do the Police in Different Voices". Part IV, "Death by Water," was reduced to its current ten lines from an original ninety-two--Pound advised against Eliot's thought of scrapping it altogether. Eliot thanked Pound for "helping one to do it in one's own way."
Four Quartets
Although many critics prefered his earlier work, Eliot considered Four Quartets his masterpiece. The Four Quartets draws upon his knowledge of mysticism and philosophy. It consists of four long poems, published separately: "Burnt Norton" (1936), "East Coker" (1940), "The Dry Salvages" (1941) and "Little Gidding" (1942), each in five sections. Although they resist easy characterization, each begins with a rumination on the geographical location of its title, and each meditates on the nature of time in some important respect — theological, historical, physical — and its relation to the human condition. Also, each is associated with one of the four classical elements: air, earth, water, and fire. They approach the same ideas in varying but overlapping ways, and are open to a diversity of interpretations.
"Burnt Norton" asks what it means to consider things that might have been. We see the shell of an abandoned house, and Eliot toys with the idea that all these "merely possible" realities are present together, but invisible to us: All the possible ways people might walk across a courtyard add up to a vast dance we can't see; children who aren't there are hiding in the bushes.
"East Coker" continues the examination of time and meaning, focusing in a famous passage on the nature of language and poetry. Out of darkness Eliot continues to reassert a solution ("I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope").
"The Dry Salvages" treats the element of water, via images of river and sea. It again strives to contain opposites ("...the past and future/Are conquered, and reconciled").
"Little Gidding" (the element of fire) is the most anthologized of the Quartets. Eliot's own experiences as an air raid warden in The Blitz power the poem, and he imagines meeting Dante during the German bombing. The beginning of the Quartets ("Houses.../Are removed, destroyed") had become a violent everyday experience; this creates an animation, where for the first time he talks of Love - as the driving force behind all experience. From this background, the Quartets end with an affirmation of Julian of Norwich "all shall be well and/All manner of things shall be well."
Other works
Eliot is considered by some to be one of the great literary critics of the twentieth century. His essays were a major factor in the revival of interest in the metaphysical poets. A preoccupation with Elizabethan and Jacobean verse drama (for instance, John Webster, who is mentioned in his poem Whispers of Immortality) is also central to his critical writing, and greatly influenced his own forays into drama.
Eliot's plays, mostly in verse, include Sweeney Agonistes (1925), Murder in the Cathedral (1935), The Family Reunion (1939), The Cocktail Party (1950), The Confidential Clerk (1953) and The Elder Statesman (1958). Murder in the Cathedral is about the death of Thomas Becket. Eliot admitted being influenced by, among others, the works of 17th century preacher Lancelot Andrewes. The dramatic works of Eliot are less well known than his poems, but worth investigating, e.g. in the recorded version of The Cocktail Party with Sir Alec Guinness in the lead role of An Unidentified Guest (Sir Henry Harcourt-Reilly). Murder in the Cathedral has been a standard choice for Anglican and Roman Catholic curricula for many years.
In his critical and theoretical writing, Eliot is known for his advocacy of the "objective correlative," the notion that art should not be a personal expression, but should work through objective universal symbols. There is fierce critical debate over the pragmatic value of the objective correlative, and Eliot's failure to follow its dicta. It is claimed that there is evidence throughout his work of contrary practice (e.g. part II of The Waste Land in the section beginning "My nerves are bad tonight"); but of course the worth of the idea is by no means negated by alleged lapses in practice, here as elsewhere.
In 1958 the Archbishop of Canterbury appointed Eliot (and also C.S. Lewis) to a commission which resulted in "The Revised Psalter" (1963). In 1939, he published a book of poetry for children, Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats – "Old Possum" being a name Pound had bestowed upon him. After his death, this work became the basis of the hit West End and Broadway musical by Andrew Loyd Webber, Cats.
Criticism of Eliot
Eliot's poetry was first criticized as not being poetry at all. Another criticism has been of his widespread interweaving of quotes from other authors into his work. "Notes on the Waste Land," which follows after the poem, gives the source of many of these, but not all. This practice has been defended as a necessary salvaging of tradition in an age of fragmentation, and completely integral to the work, as well adding richness through unexpected juxtaposition. It has also been condemned as showing a lack of originality, and for plagiarism. A prominent critic once published an essay called 'Eliot's Poetry of Pseudo-Learning'. Eliot himself once wrote ("The Sacred Wood"): "Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different."
Canadian academic Robert Ian Scott pointed out that the title of The Waste Land and some of the images had previously appeared in the work of a minor Kentucky poet, Madison Cawein (1865–1914). Bevis Hillier compared Cawein's lines "...come and go/Around its ancient portico" with Eliot's "...come and go/talking of Michelangelo." Cawein's "Waste Land" had appeared in the January 1913 issue of Chicago magazine Poetry (which contained an article by Ezra Pound on London poets). But scholars are continually finding new sources for Eliot's "Waste Land," often in odd places.
Many famous fellow writers and critics have paid tribute to Eliot. According to the poet Ted Hughes, "Each year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble." Hugh Kenner commented, "He has been the most gifted and influential literary critic in English in the twentieth century." C. S. Lewis, however, thought his poetry ludicrous, and his literary criticism "superficial and unscholarly".
Charges of anti-Semitism
Although he is regarded throughout the English-speaking world as one of the chief poets and critics of modern times, he has sometimes been charged with anti-Semitism. The poem "Gerontion" contains a seemingly negative portrayal of a greedy landlord known as the "Jew [who] squats on the window sill." Another much-quoted example of anti-Semitism in his work is the poem, "Burbank with a Baedeker: Bleistein with a Cigar", in which Eliot implicitly finds the Jews responsible for the decline of Venice ("The rats are underneath the piles. | The Jew is underneath the lot"). In "A Cooking Egg", he writes, "The red-eyed scavengers are creeping | From Kentish Town and Golder's Green" (Golders Green was a largely Jewish suburb of London). And this from "Sweeney Among the Nightingales" is the most ambiguous instance in his verse: "Rachel née Rabinovitch, | Tears at the grapes with murderous paws." Even so, Leonard Woolf, husband of Virginia Woolf, who was himself Jewish and a friend of Eliot's, judged that Eliot was probably "slightly anti-Semitic in the sort of vague way which is not uncommon. He would have denied it quite genuinely." [4]
Nevertheless, in his minor work "After Strange Gods" (1933), Eliot deprecates the presence of "free-thinking Jews," who are said to be "undesirable" in large numbers. The philosopher George Boas, who had previously been on friendly terms with Eliot, wrote to him that, "I can at least rid you of the company of one." Eliot did not reply. In later years Eliot expressed his regret over these remarks (disavowing the book, and refusing to allow any part to be reprinted), saying he was not in good health when he gave the lectures in which they were first expressed.
Eliot also wrote a letter to the Daily Mail in January 1932 which congratulated the paper for a series of laudatory articles on the rise of Mussolini. In The Idea of a Christian Society (1939) he says "... totalitarianism can retain the terms 'freedom' and 'democracy' and give them its own meaning: and its right to them is not so easily disproved as minds inflamed by passion suppose." In the same book, written before World War II, he says of J. F. C. Fuller, who worked for the Policy Directorate in the British Union of Fascists:
In 2003 Professor Ronald Schuchard of Emory University published details of a previously unknown cache of letters from Eliot to Horace Kallen, which reveal that in the early 1940s Eliot was actively helping Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria to re-settle in Britain and America. In letters written after the war, Eliot also voiced support for modern Israel. [6]

Please note as we are busy preparing for our move to our new Cancer Survivorship Centre, there are no Cancer Connections scheduled at this time.
Dr. Mark Clemons - Medical Oncologist, Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre
When Dr. Clemons was recruited to Ottawa from Princess Margaret Hospital just over a year ago, he arrived with a wealth of knowledge and a reputation as one of the leading breast cancer researchers-clinicians in the world. He has led dozens of clinical trials evaluating a range of strategies to improve the management and treatment of breast cancer.
His research platform is based on improving the care of patients with early stage, locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer. The focus has been on the utility of tumour and serum biomarkers in improving patient management and outcomes. This transdisciplinary research involves collaboration across the spectrum of clinical trials, basic science, imaging, pathology, bone biology, endocrinology, as well as surgical, radiation and medical oncology.
Dr. Clemons received his early medical oncology training in the U.K. and Canada, including training at Christie Hospital in Manchester, England, which is Europe's largest comprehensive cancer centre. His doctoral studies focused on the ways that breast cancer resists chemotherapy, and the feasibility of suppressing DNA repair systems as a means of overcoming chemotherapy resistance.
Dr. Dugald Seely – Director of Research, Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine
Did you know that studies show that anywhere from 70%-80% of cancer patients will seek advice and support from a naturopathic doctor, acupuncturist or other complementary medicine practitioner over the course of their cancer journey?
While the traditional forms of cancer treatment – surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are essential for treating the disease, many patients seek additional forms of treatment and therapy to complement these methods. They are taking an active role in their treatment plan, with the goal of not only surviving their cancer, but also to prevent its reoccurrence and experience a better quality of life throughout their illness.
Working in partnership with the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, the Ottawa Regional Cancer Foundation will be launching an "Integral Healing Program" for cancer patients, with Dr. Seely as the Program Manager. Dr. Seely is a naturopathic doctor and director of research at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. He completed his master's of science in cancer research from the University of Toronto with a focus on interactions between chemotherapy and natural health products. In his current role, Dr. Seely is the principal investigator for a number of clinical trials. He has published and presented widely and is dedicated to helping build the research capacity of the naturopathic profession. His main interests lie in conducting primary research on complementary therapies used by naturopathic doctors with a focus on integrative cancer care.
Dr. Shailendra Verma – Medical Oncologist, The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Centre, Associate Professor, Department of Medicine at the University of Ottawa and Adjunct Research Professor, Institute of Neuroscience at Carleton University
With an academic specialty in breast cancer, melanoma, and sarcoma, Dr. Verma chairs the disease site groups in each of these areas at the University of Ottawa, and is chair or a member of these groups at the provincial level. He is a principal investigator in numerous research and educational projects at the Ottawa Regional Cancer Centre and the Ottawa Regional Women's Breast Health Centre. Dr. Verma is Vice Chair of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation (Ontario Chapter), a member of the Board and Chair of its grant panels and several of its committees and a committed advocate on behalf of policy, research and treatment issues as they relate to breast cancer.

NEW YORK, February 6, 2012 — California's Governor Jerry Brown is floating a new proposal to fold funding for students in foster care into a general student fund.
Foster care advocates warn that if adopted, this measure could disrupt a successful program, jeopardizing educational success for these students.
The program called Foster Youth Services (FYS) was launched in California in 1981 to address the unique educational needs of foster kids. Foster children have different educational needs than other children for a host of reasons, driven by the fact that they have frequent changes in circumstances, homes and schools.
The FYS program has kept graduation rates and grades up among foster care youth.
"Foster youth services and its coordinators have been very important in ensuring that forward thinking state policy is used to help students in foster care," explains Daniel Heimpel, project director at Fostering Media Connections, a San Francisco-based organization dedicated to public and media awareness about issues related to youth in foster care. "If that were to go it would erode three decades of progress."
Governor Brown's budget calls for funding for the FYS program to be folded into a new "weighted student formula" along with other educational categories such as physical education, arts ed., and pre-K programs. Individual school districts would have full discretion to distribute the funds based on local needs.
In many cases, this might work very well. However, not in all cases. The fear is that foster kids could be left out of the equation when allotting funds since their numbers and residencies are so difficult to track and districts aren't always aware of their own populations, which can change frequently.
Many individuals and foster care advocacy organizations are arguing that governments should keep funding as a category like special ed to avoid diluting its effects. The money then would directly target those students who the funds are intended for.
The state's responsibility to foster care youth is unique in that they have been removed from their homes by the state with the pledge that they will be cared for by the state while in the foster care system.
While California has been a model for much of the country in terms of its success with foster care youth, particularly in terms of education, if adopted, Brown's proposed measure could roll back that success. It could also have implications for foster care youth across the country. "Right now there exists a huge swell of national momentum towards increased educational success for students in foster care," says Heimpel. "Any abatement would hurt that overall momentum."
The first hearing on this Brown's proposal will take place on February 16 in Sacramento.
"California advocates are working to educate the Governor and the legislators about the importance of the FYS program, the unique needs of these students and our unique responsibilities to them," says Susanna Kniffen, senior associate for education policy atChildren Now, a child welfare orgainzation in Sacramento.

Song for a Sunday
I've been really enjoying your One Book, Two Book... posts - do let me know if you've done one, they're such fun to read!
Following in the steps of last week, I thought I'd post a couple of songs from an artist you think you know... but might not. Alanis Morissette is generally known as an angry, strident singer - but my favourite tracks of hers are very quite different from that. Here they are: 'That I Would Be Good' and 'That Particular Time' Obviously I like songs which begin with the word 'That'...
Listen to previous Sunday Songs here.
3 comments:
I've been humming Alanis Morissette songs non-stop for the last few days (driving myself and everyone around me mad), so seeing your Song for a Sunday pick(s) made me laugh a little. I do love "That I Would Be Good" but I think my favourite of her songs has to be "Unsent" - it's soft but not too sweet and it has a harmonica! I'm a sucker for harmonicas (also, electric organs but those seem to be rarer these days).ReplyDelete
Wow... you're right: I didn't know about these songs... thanks!ReplyDelete
It is nice to see another side to Alanis but mostly I'm in it for the angry stuff! What can I say? I really enjoy yelling along. It clears the mind beautifully.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment - my favourite part of blogging is reading your comments!

I'm not a fan of splash pages, but I really like the illustrations on the splash screen menu and the minimal approach to navigation. I could see repeating the illustrations in the header as well, though, rather than using the pop up menu. I also think it would be nice if they would be shown in color on the splash page. Those great illustrations shouldn't be hidden. The layout is clean and the style is very soft and elegant. For usability sake, I could deal with a slight bit more contrast in the text color towards a darker gray as well. Overall, however, I find this site very easy on the eyes.

Solution for yacht and motor boat owners
We are one of the leading yacht insurance specialists and can offer you optimal coverage for:
- your yacht
- you, as the owner
- your assets
- paid crew
Our insurance covers are constantly being reviewed, are coordinated yet flexible, and can be customized on demand.
In addition, we have developed specific insurance solutions to cover the risks associated with over-side activities and water sports that are not available anywhere else on the market.
Click here and have a look at the brandnew Pantaenius News
The following is a summary of the insurance policies designed to cover you for common risks in yachting:
Third party liability insurance protects you, and anyone using your boat with your permission, against claims from other people for damage to their yacht or other property, or for personal injury, when you are legally liable due to your negligence. It does not cover you or anyone else for pure accidents if there is no negligence/legal liability.
- Agreed fixed value policy –there is no option for insurers to replace your yacht with one of a similar age and value.
- Cover as standard for the breakage and permanent distortion (which affects structural integrity) of masts and spars. This is included as an insured peril in its own right – no other peril needs to have operated.
- Consequential loss of wear and tear covered provided another insured peril has operated.
- Cover for damage, up to a limit of £20,000, to the main engine due to the failure of components where the engine is less than five years old.
- Cover for breakage of shafts, struts and propellers.
- Rodent damage covered.
- Automatic cover if you have to depart from your agreed cruising area for up to 72 hrs.
- Racing is usually covered as standard but all proposals are individually assessed and special conditions may be applied to the sportier yacht.
- No requirement for vessel to be ashore during winter months – cover is based on 12 months in or out of commission.
- Boat's inventory and equipment covered whilst in winter storage.
- Fast and efficient claims handling.
- 24 hr Emergency claims helpline manned by experienced Pantaenius staff.
- No 'due diligence' or 'seaworthiness' warranties to enable insurers to avoid claims.
- Contribution to emergency accommodation or repatriation in the event your yacht is rendered uninhabitable abroad by an insured accident.
- Usually no crewing restrictions for experienced owners
- Wider range of cruising areas.
- No additional charge for monthly direct debit payments
- Easy changes to policy/communications by phone, email, fax
- Worldwide support network
- Protected NCB Scheme
- Dedicated, well trained customer support and sales team - no functions outsourced to call centres or fulfilment houses.
Even More Reasons to choose Pantaenius ...
Who are the insurers and how do I know they will pay in the event of a claim?
Pantaenius has built its international reputation on fast and fair settlement of claims (ask anyone whose boat was in Grenada at the time of hurricane Ivan!). This reputation could not have been achieved, and could not be maintained, without the backing of good insurers. By "good" we mean financially secure, and fair and co-operative.
The insurers underwriting the Pantaenius Yacht Schemes are carefully selected from major European or International companies, and during the last 40 years Pantaenius has built a strong relationship with them. The insurers have delegated to Pantaenius their claims handling authority for straight forward, lower value claims, which minimises delays. Please ask if you wish to receive a list of the insurers underwriting any particular policy.
The wide cover offered by the Pantaenius yacht scheme means that there is less "small print" for the insurers to hide behind, so claims which may be rejected or reduced by other insurers are often paid in full and without any quibbling by Pantaenius' insurers. (see the Pantaenius Checklist)
I hear that you only cover large and expensive yachts - is this true?
No, we cover yachts valued from approx. £15,000 upwards. For Atlantic blue-water passages or for sailing in the Pacific, the insurers are reluctant to cover smaller craft, and will usually be looking for values in excess of £50,000.
You have asked for a condition survey; why? When will you ask for a new one?
Whenever they take on a new risk, any insurer will want to assess the potential for a claim – and the potential scale of any claims. Any information that can reduce the unknown factors in this assessment will lessen the amount of tolerance they need to build in to their underwriting decisions. So the more they know about the condition of the boat to start with, the more accurate their assessment of the risks involved will be.
When steps are taken to ensure the boat is in good condition at the start of cover, there is less need to rely on clauses you will find in many of our competitors' policies, for example, "the vessel must be maintained in a seaworthy condition", which could allow the insurers to reject a claim on the grounds of the condition of the boat at the time of the loss. You won't find wording like that in the Pantaenius Yacht policies! So a survey at the outset, whilst it may be a nuisance, allows the Pantaenius policies to offer wider cover than many others (see next question).
For new business we generally ask for a condition survey if the yacht is amateur-built or if it is more than 10 years old. For existing clients we have no hard and fast rules, the insurers may occasionally require a condition survey prior to renewal on an older yacht. We try to give at least 12 months notice of this requirement.
(Pantaenius UK Ltd Survey Requirements).
What is the Pantaenius position on claims caused by defective parts or wear and tear?
It's a general principle of insurance that you can't insure the predictable. Everything wears out eventually, and replacing worn out parts is a normal cost of owning a boat. But although the Pantaenius policy won't cover defective or worn out parts, it does cover any other damage if an insured peril, for example a collision, has resulted from a defective or worn part.
I understand that the rig damage is separately covered. How does this work?
Our cover is unique in that rig damage is covered as an insured peril in its own right. It doesn't have to result from an external cause, as with other policies. So if the mast falls down due to the failure of a defective rigging screw, the claim will be paid – but you'll have to pay for the screw yourself.
What is your policy on multi-hulls?
Our insurers cover most cruising catamarans but no trimarans.
I have quite a lot of sailing experience but no formal qualifications-is this a problem?
No. Whilst qualifications are important we tend to put more emphasis on experience. Therefore we need to know what sort of boats you have owned/sailed, where you have sailed them and what role you had onboard; for example were you the skipper or crew?
Do you have specific requirements for crew numbers?
No, not at all! We take each risk; boat type, size, cruising range etc. and relate this to the experience of the skipper. If we are satisfied the proposed crew can handle it, we will agree cover for short-handed or single-handed sailing.
Do you have specified haul-out periods?
No, our policy covers 12 months in or out of commission. If you normally keep the yacht on a mooring we may warrant that it must be moved to a marina or hauled ashore if the mooring is considered untenable through the winter.
Insurance rates are based upon the assumption that most yachts will winter ashore, and yachts ashore are not without risk (QAB December 2006), so there are generally no premium reductions available unless the vessel laid up ashore and out of commission for most/all of the insurance year.

Purchase Reason
This was an excellent framing option that allowed me to choose the frame and matting right from the comfort of my own home. I was wanting this piece for a long time, but it was out of stock the first time I was thinking about it. I was pleased to see that it was brought back into stock the next time I had checked for it. The entire process from start to finish was easy, and there was a lot of selection. The finished piece was well wrapped for shipping when it came to my door, and it looks exactly like the computer image I had created. I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase! We chose to hang it in the office but it would look fantastic in any part of our home.

'You should
treat people with respect instead of having a bunch of bin inspectors,
bin police.' Eric Pickles, the communities secretary in Britain's
new Lib-Con coalition government, has announced that the government
will not be pressing ahead with a 'bin tax' or 'pay-as-you-throw'
schemes designed to charge householders based on the amount of non-recycled
waste they dispose of.
Yet Pickles
is proposing a new approach that is simply a bit more 'carrot'
than 'stick'. (On the same day, however, Bristol city
council announced
plans to introduce smaller bins and fine residents up to £1,000
if they don't separate their waste correctly. Plus ça
change…) The incentive schemes Pickles is offering in place
of a 'bin tax', which would reward people for recycling
rather than punish them for not recycling, still assume that the
tedious business of separating our waste for recycling is the best
way of dealing with rubbish. Which it isn't.
The power to
trial pay-as-you-throw schemes was legislated for in the UK Climate
Change Act of 2009. Five local authorities were allowed the opportunity
to test out the scheme. However, none of them actually tried it.
Pickles' new alternative is based on a different scheme piloted
in Windsor and Maidenhead, a local authority west of London. An
American company, RecycleBank, is working with the council to offer
householders rewards for recycling. Residents sign up for a RecycleBank
account and then receive points for how much material they put in
their recycling bins. They can then exchange those points for discounts
at local shops or give their points, as cash, to charity.
Getting rewarded
for doing 'the right thing' seems like a pretty good idea.
'It does not put the costs up', Pickles told BBC News.
'Actually, what it does is it increases the recycling rate
and puts money into the local economy.' But this money is not
being magicked up out of thin air. Rather it represents the saving
made by councils by not having to pay the punitive costs for sending
rubbish to landfill because instead they are encouraging local residents
to sort the rubbish out. As RecycleBank boss Matthew Tucker told
spiked last year: 'For every tonne that we help a council
divert from landfill, we take a percentage of that saving. If the
council doesn't save, we don't make any money.' (For
a fuller discussion of the pros and cons of recycling, see Recycling:
an eco-ritual we should bin, by Rob Lyons).
The saving
comes from the severe regime put in place to encourage councils
(with a financial gun to their heads) to stop using landfill to
dispose of waste. There are two elements to this. Firstly, there
is the landfill tax. This is charged on every single tonne of 'active'
waste (in other words, anything that might decompose, including
wood and plastic as well as food) that goes to landfill. The current
rate is £48 per tonne. On top of this, councils are also set
targets for a maximum total amount of waste going to landfill. If
they breach those levels, a fine of £150 per tonne is imposed.
There are numerous
other ways to dispose of waste other than landfill and recycling.
For example, many more councils in the UK now use incinerators (or,
to use the proper parlance, energy-from-waste facilities) to burn
waste and generate electricity. If a combined heat and power scheme
is tacked on, then the waste heat can also be used to heat local
offices, factories and homes. So some councils have quickly built
energy-from-waste facilities to get round these fines and taxes.
