Five OuLiPo-related constraints, with links. Some new ones, too, for all you oulipian veterans.
We love the OuLiPo, or Oulipo, or the Oulipo, or oulipo, or Ooh Lee Po'.
We do.
Oulipo, an abbreviation of Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle, or Workshop of Potential Literature, a group of writers and mathematicians who worked with mathematical or math-inspired methods to come up with work. Members include Raymond Queneau, François Le Lionnais, Claude Berge, Georges Perec, and Italo Calvino; Harry Mathews is the first English-speaking member. A good intro is on Drunken Boat here; the entire oulipo feature, complete with a wealth of writing, is here.
Today we outline five Oulipo constraints–two completely new, and a couple of new links. Enjoy.
1. Take a look at this Oulipo Keyboard. "The writer must make tactical adjustments to their writing practices in order to compensate for the unexpected affordances of the interface," the inventor, Adam Parrish, writes. "The resulting text bears the traces of the interface through which it was realized." I think it replaces all the over vowels, which are blank spaces on the keyboard, with the letter e. Parrish has some other text-mashing devices on the post as well, all them fairly brilliant. But how to get one? Video of the OuLiPo keyboard in action here.
2. Did you know there was an online N+7 generator? We didn't either. Now we're in bidness! The N+7 method involves replace every noun in a text with the word that falls 7 places ahead of it in the dictionary. No more telling students to bring their print dictionaries into class. (They don't own them, for one).
Bonus: results include the texts as N+0 (i.e., the original version), N+1, N+2, on up to N+15.
We will never sleep.
3. I keep forgetting about the prisoner's constraint. (It's also called the "macao" constraint, but I don't know why). This is a lipogram that excludes letters with legs (i.e., b, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, p, q, t, and y).
4. Warren Motte, a historian of the Oulipo, outlines another constraint I've never heard of: the métro poem. This is a poem composed in the métro, during the duration of a trip. Here are the guidelines; I would imagine these are adaptable for your local public transportation system:
A métro poem has as many verses as your trip has stations, minus one.
The first verse is composed in your head between the two first stations of your trip (counting the station from which you departed).
It is transcribed onto paper when the train stops at the second station.
The second verse is composed in your head between the second and third stations of your trip.
It is transcribed onto paper when the train stops at the third station. And so forth.
One must not transcribe when the train is in motion.
One must not compose when the train is stopped.
The last verse of the poem is transcribed on the platform of your last station.
If your trip involves one or more changes of subway lines, the poem will have two or more stanzas.
5. Then there's the snowball. This is a "recomination" method in which each line or sentence is a single word, and each successive word is one letter longer. You thought it was going to be something else, didn't you? Get your mind out of the gutter.
Michael Costello permalinkApril 14, 2010 \pm\30 12:52 pm 12:52 pm
I believe Alice Notley's The Descent of Alette (or at least sections of it) was composed using the Metro Poem constraint, though I don't know if that is just coincidence. Also, some of Ted Berrigan's Sonnets were arranged according to methods of anticipatory plagarist Raymond Roussel. Gilbert Sorrentino and John Ashbery have also written texts … See Moreemploying Oulipo constraints. I would also suggest Ian Monk. And in shameless self promotion add that my poem in the Best American Poetry 2004 employed the N+7 constraint…Ode to my flesh and blood body became Ode to my flint and boom Bolivia.
Michael Costello permalinkApril 16, 2010 \pm\30 9:26 pm 9:26 pm
I did not know about the generator. Can't wait to check it out. You have the Oulipo Compendium, of course?
Whenever I visit the capital region next I hope I can run into you.
If you can, look up on FB, Mike Brady Art. I think you would enjoy the pictures.
Thank you Mr Nester, for all you do.

According to Gorden Edes at Yahoo Sports, the Washington Nationals currently have scouts evalutating both the Mets Triple-A team in Buffalo N.Y and their Double-A team in Binghamton, N.Y.
This is a clear-cut sign that the Mets currently have interest in trading for the Washington Nationals first baseman Nick Johnson, as they have been left without the services of Carlos Delgado for the next two months following hip surgery.
Johnson is in the last year of a heavy contract and the Nationals are not likely to resign, making him prime trade bait. Johnson is having one of his best starts in years, currently batting .329/.436/.460, and more importantly, his glove is a lot better than Daniel Murphy's.
According to Edes, the Nats are paying close attention to pitchers Jon Niese, Mike Antonini, and Eddie Kunz.
Lets take a look:
Jon Niese-Jon Niese is a 22 year old left-handed starting pitcher from Lima, Ohio. A childhood friend and teammate of the Dodgers' Chad Billingsley, Niese has often been overshadowed by great talent around him. This is what caused him to slip to the 9th round of the 2005 MLB draft, where the Mets selected him 209th overall. Since being drafted Niese has been successful at every level, including a 2008 that saw the young lefty combine to go 11-8 with a 3.13 ERA with 144 K's to 58 BB's, in AAA New Orleans and AA Binghamton. 2009 however has been rough so far as Niese has only gone 0-3 with an 8.17 ERA in six starts.
Mike Antonini- Antonini was drafted by the Mets in the 18th round of the 2007 draft out of Georgia College & State University. He combines a solid fastball that sits in the mid-low 90's with a plus change up that keeps hitters off balance. The 23 year old saw early success in 2007 where he combined for a 1.99 ERA in 12 games. 2009 has not been as productive for Antonini however, as he has combined for a 6.28 ERA in 8 games. His strikeout-walk ratio still stays high however at 32/15.
Eddie Kunz- Eddie Kunz is a 23-year-old righty drafted out of Oregon State by the Mets in the second round of the 2007 MLB draft. In his first full season in professional ball, Kunz had pitched 44 games for the Double-A Binghamton Mets, recording a 2.79 ERA with 22 saves. He was called up to the Major League Mets during the club's bullpen meltdown in the fall of 2008, but only saw limited action. So far through 12 games for the Mets Triple-A affiliate he has a 3.79 ERA. He has also allowed 14 walks in 19 innings pitched.

Adrián Villar Rojas is a master at creating massive sculptures of clay, wood and cement that remind us about the uncomfortable relationship humans have with nature. My Family Dead, a representation of a life-sized blue whale in the forest outside of his native Ushuaia, Argentina is one such example. When you are not moved by the suffering the magnificent creature appears to have endured, the tree stumps protruding around and out of the whale's body spark curiosity over what was there first – the whale or the trees.
Rojas' work has left searing impressions far beyond Ushuaia, the world's southernmost city, and Rosario, his hometown in the Argentine pampas. His massive sculptures interpreting the end of the world represented Argentina at least year's Venice Biennale. Many other galleries in Latin America and Europe have showcased the 31-year-old artist's eerie mixed media sculptures of nature.
My Family Dead and Rojas' other sculptures aim to change the relationship between the space and the observer. He wants his work to startle – his massive pieces appear as if by magic and invite viewers to wonder how such an enormous cetacean could have appeared in this remote Patagonian forest. An average project led by Rojas involves the work of 10 to 15 people including engineers, carpenters and sculptors who shape the clay, rocks and wood into a structure that should be the set of a science fiction or post-apocalyptic film.
To that end, Rojas' influences include the Batman movies, the 1987 film Predator and Kurt Cobain. The scale of his sculptures, and the dark titles he gives them upon completion, are intended to bring out the most visceral of emotions.

So confused and the same thing happened to me. Macy's told me there are no credit guidelines but that if you want something just bring it to the counter and they will try to accommodate your purchase…WTF!!! I tried to spend 180 dollars the other day and was denied in front of a full line mortified since I have had my credit card for 11 years. I didnt use it for a couple of months so they told me the most I could spend was 49.00 WTF. Then I called Macy's C/S and I was really upset they said they would pull my credit report to see if they could accommodate my purchse I told her NO that will go against my credit score which she agreed and then I told her I may want to just close my account because its not worth having.
Come to find out today after speaking with the Macy's complaints department the w**** closed my account without my permission. I am livid and not going to stop until I get some kind of compensation for my embarrassement and closing my Macy's account without my permission.

My easy homemade soup recipes from scratch are easy to prepare, and will produce
beautiful results with a minimal amount of effort on your part. If you have a crock pot, it works great with my chicken and dumpling soup below.
A hot bowl of soup has to be one of the most inviting meals on a cold
day, and serving it with a loaf of warm fresh bread, and you'll come
down with soup nirvana - a wonderful illness. So grab a cup of coffee and find your family's next favorite soup.
A pot of delicious homemade chicken noodle soup is very simple to prepare. Just add some homemade chicken broth/stock, fresh vegetables, noodles, chicken meat, seasoning in a pot, and simmer on the stove for a couple of hours.
There are many other soups, such as vegetable beef soup, that can be made just as easy, simply by changing the broth, and using beef for meat instead of chicken.
Homemade soup also freezes well. If you make a large pot, you can freeze what is left for another simple meal, with practically no effort at all. This can be a real plus for a busy family on the go.
I firmly believe that soup helps me get better (and faster) when I'm sick. I don't think anyone can deny though, that when you have a cold or the flu, nothing makes you feel better that a hot bowl of homemade chicken noodle soup.
I will be offering you guidelines on how to prepare many of my
favorite homemade soups. You won't believe the difference in taste
compared to canned soup; easy soup recipes just for you. Now on to my homemade soup recipes.

Now that you have an eye on some soup, why not make a loaf of bread, rolls or cornbread muffins to dunk into the soup. Corn bread is excellent with chili and Italian bread and butter is wonderful with beef stew.

Getting Hands-On Experience
St. Mary's chemistry and biochemistry majors were busy this summer participating in research and medical internships on campus and around the country. Ashton Engdahl (above) spent her summer developing a green synthesis of functionalized pyrroles on campus with a paid research internship through our campus SMURF program.
Awards Aplenty in New Orleans
A generous contribution from the John J. Leidy Foundation allowed eight St. Mary's students to attend the 245th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans where they presented posters describing their research. Josh Olexa ('13) explains his poster to a judge, and former American Chemical Society president, in the Speak Simply Contest where students were judged on their ability to explain their research.

Democrats lining up behind one candidate for secretary of state
Maggie Toulouse Oliver, the Bernalillo County clerk, held off last weekend in announcing her candidacy for secretary of state. But May is hours away, and many in the party say Oliver will join the race during the month.
Oliver traveled 250 miles to Las Cruces for the state Democratic convention and even gave a speech.
She is almost a sure bet to be the Democrats' nominee for secretary of state. Many party movers have lined up behind her already, and for good reasons.
Oliver is 37, polished, telegenic and clean of record in running elections in the state's largest county.
Cornelia Lange, who ran an unsuccessful campaign for party chairwoman, said in an interview that she saw Oliver as the best candidate to challenge the sitting secretary of state, Republican Dianna Duran.
Javier Gonzales, the former Democratic chairman, also said Oliver should and would be the party's choice.
Sounding like a candidate, Oliver used her speech to say a lack of leadership at the state level contributed to two Election Night messes last November. Voters stood in line for hours in Chaparral and Rio Rancho. She also mentioned how smooth elections were in other counties, including Bernalillo.
Oliver and U.S. Sen. Tom Udall could be the party's only statewide candidates not to face primary challenges. The races for governor and attorney general are likely to be contested, and state auditor may be as well.

It comes in two colorways and is now available at the Rogue Status store in Los Angeles.

What's Going On at Kveller
We know you all like the fast-paced blogginess of this blog, but there's also been some great articles making their way to Kveller recently. Let's take a moment to see what's new on the home front, shall we?
Did you know there's such a thing as Jewish knitting? Amy Keyishian figured it out while taking a stab at a first-timer's knitting class.
There's been a lot of controversy over here about breastfeeding recently, but we can't forget that other always-volatile topic: circumcision. Read the worries and reasons that helped Susie Felber make her decision to skip the ritual bris when her son was born.
Speaking of bodily issues, blogger Carla Naumberg gets down to the nitty gritty of toilet training, including what happens when your kids LOVE to talk about their poop (with strangers).
And with Passover coming up (April 18th), we've got your comprehensive guide to being the world's best seder host. The key? Plan ahead, and make it fun for the kids.

At Long Last, Tumblr Rolls Out Share Button! And Crashes
"Finally!" local Tumblr mogul Anthony de Rosa reblogged when he saw the news. It's rather amazing that an embeddable "share this via Tumblr" button didn't exist already–we know users have been clamoring for it, and it's something the other major major social network start-up in this city added before it had half Tumblr's userbase–but now it's here, so shut up. "It's now super easy to add a 'Share on Tumblr' button to any site," the company staff blog says. "The Tumblr Button can give you complete control over how your content appears when shared on Tumblr. Not only does this mean specifying an excerpt or summary, but also deciding whether it appears as a Link, Quote, Photo, or Video Embed. Read More

Each and every day, I'll be combing over box scores and scouring local beat writers' reports to make sure you have all the information you need in order to make the right decisions for your fantasy baseball lineup.

As always, make sure you're getting your daily fantasy sports fix by playing the FP911Challenge! Don't know how to play? Don't worry, Dan Stack's got you covered with a quick tutorial and some tips for the upcoming week.
Looking Back
Before we get to today's games, let's take a spin through last night's box scores to identify the Studs and Duds from Saturday, June 9th.
5 Good Nights
- Ben Zobrist:Â 3-3, 4 R, 2 HR, 4 RBI
- Chris Sale:Â 8.0 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 7 K's, W
- Tyler Colvin:Â 3-4, 2 R, 2 HR, 2 RBI
- Mike Trout:Â 3-5, 3 R, 2 RBI, 2 steals
- Kyle Lohse:Â 7.2 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 4 K's, W
Honorable Mention:Â Adam Dunn, Dee Gordon, Alex Presley, Jerry Hairston Jr., Albert Pujols, Miguel Montero, Trevor Plouffe, Elliot Johnson, Jose Molina, Gordon Beckham, Torii Hunter, Hunter Pence, Alejandro De Aza, Jason Kubel, Joe Mauer, Michael Bourn, Tommy Hanson, Ryan Vogelsong, Clayton Kershaw, Trevor Cahill, Bronson Arroyo, Justin Masterson, Tommy Hunter, Dillon Gee, Phil Hughes, Gio Gonzalez, Justin Verlander, Scott Feldman, Vance Worley, Scott Diamond
5 Bad Nights
- Carlos Zambrano:Â 2.1 IP, 5 H, 7 ER, 3 BB's, 1 K
- Jeff Francis:Â 3.1 IP, 10 H, 8 ER, BB, 1 K
- Jeff Samardzija: 3.2 IP, 9 H, 8 ER, BB, K
- Corey Hart: 0-5

Dishonorable Mention:Â A.J. Pierzynski, Wilson Betemit, J.J. Hardy, Erick Aybar, Mike Fontenot, Mark Trumbo, Zack Cozart, Jarrod Parker, Zach Stewart, Jordan Lyles, Jason Vargas, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Vin Mazzaro, Drew Hutchison, Dan Haren, James McDonald, Guillermo Moscoso, Michael Fiers
Daily Grab Bag
Check back here for daily updates on injuries, closer battles, player news, and anything else that might affect your fantasy baseball team.
- With Brian Fuentes looking like, well Brian Fuentes, the A's are going to a closer-by-committee situation with Fuentes, Grant Balfour, and Ryan Cook. This situation doesn't seem all that appealing, but if you're going to take a chance on anyone, it should probably be Cook.
- Pablo Sandoval (hand) returned to the Giants lineup yesterday, so make sure you've got Big Panda back in your lineups, as well.
- Brett Gardner (elbow) had a setback and will be out until at least the All-Star break. I've been holding onto him until now, but I think he's becoming very close to being droppable if you need your DL spot.
- Brian Roberts (concussions) is expected to return to the Orioles lineup Tuesday and might be a player to take a flier on if you're weak at second base.
- Carlos Zambrano left yesterday's start with a stiff lower back and may miss a start or two.
- Salvador Perez (knee) is progressing in his rehab and is currently targeting a return to the lineup at the end of June.
- Trout/Harper Watch: With two of baseball's best prospects being called-up last month, I'm going to dedicate this space to keeping tabs on the youngsters for the near future. Here's to hoping that you were able to grab one (or both)!
Bryce Harper: Harper went 0-3 with one run yesterday. (.282, 26 R, 6 HR, 17 RBI, 3 steals on the season).
Mike Trout: Trout went 3-5 with two runs, two RBI, and 2 steals yesterday. Â (.349, 31 Runs, 5 HR, 24 RBI, 13 steals on the season).
Looking Ahead
A quick look at some of today's pitchers to start (3 Up), pitchers to sit (3 Down), pitchers to take a flier on if you need a spot-start (Throwing Darts), and batters with advantageous or disadvantageous matchups (Today's Swings and Misses).
3 Up
Cliff Lee at Baltimore Orioles
Yovani Gallardo vs. San Diego Padres
Ryan Dempster at Minnesota Twins
3 Down
Ubaldo Jimenez at St. Louis Cardinals
Ervin Santana at Colorado Rockies
Anthony Bass at Milwaukee Brewers
Throwing Darts
Francisco Liriano vs. Chicago Cubs
A.J. Burnett vs. Kansas City Royals
Chad Billingsley at Seattle Mariners
Today's Swings and Misses
- David Wright is 10-for-21 (.476) with two home runs in his career against today's starter, Andy Pettitte.
- Carlos Gonzalez is 6-for-12 (.500) in his career against today's starter, Ervin Santana.
- Jason Bay is 14-for-32 (.438) with a home run in his career against today's starter, Andy Pettitte.
- Kurt Suzuki is 2-for-31 (.065) in his career against today's starter, Joe Saunders.
- Jeff Francoeur is 2-for-12 (.167) in his career against today's starter, A.J. Burnett.
- Alex Gordon is 3-for-18 (.167) in his career against today's starter, A.J. Burnett.
Don't forget to check out the rest of the great content on FantasyPros911.com, starting with some of our most recent updates:

- Chuck Anderson brings you a look at a Position Battle going on in left field for the Philadelphia Phillies.
- This season has had an abundance of closer news, and Matthew Dewoskin is here to give you the latest in this week's Blown Opportunities.
