Brenda Wineapple tells an extraordinary story about poetry, politics, and love, and sheds new light not only on the famously elusive poet, but on the roiling America of the nineteenth century.
As the Civil War raged in 1862, an unusual relationship was born between the reclusive poet Emily Dickinson and Thomas Wentworth Higginson, a literary figure and abolitionist who ran guns to Kansas and commanded the first Union regiment of black soldiers. Higginson wrote for The Atlantic Monthly, and when Dickinson sent him four of her poems he realized he had encountered a wholly original genius. The intense correspondence that followed over the next quarter century reveals much about Dickinson, Higginson, and the world they shared.
"Brenda Wineapple provides a nuanced and quite moving account of the improbable relationship between an 'activist' and a 'recluse.'" —New York Sun
"[Wineapple] brings a scholar' s diligence and a novelist's imagination to her account of Dickinson and Higginson' s relationship, crafting a tour de force that should delight specialists and casual readers alike. The book's individual strands of inquiry–Higginson's life, Dickinson' s poems, the letters that passed between them, and the historical, political and artistic contexts of the age–are interesting in and of themselves, but when intertwined so as to inform and strengthen each other, they're fascinating….Wineapple is a tremendously versatile and sensitive writer, and she elucidates her subjects' subtleties with authority and grace. She conjures up vivid scenes but never oversteps the historian' s duty to fact, dispenses an enormous amount of documentary information without ever overburdening her narrative, and interprets Dickinson's often challenging poems with eloquence and lucidity. Not a biography, history or literary analysis, yet something of each, White Heat amply demonstrates that indirect illumination sometimes casts the brightest light." —Joel Brouwer, The Washington Post
"Much more than a biography– rather, a sweeping cultural and political history of the lead-up to the American civil war and its aftermath…[Wineapple] has too much intellectual integrity to pretend to pin the poet down. Instead she achieves what the best literary biography should: a portrait which provides close-up moments of tangible intimacy while allowing the subject to remain ultimately mysterious." —The Economist
"Brenda Wineapple's White Heat is one of the most astonishing books about poetry I have ever read. It causes us to see Emily Dickinson, perhaps for the first time, as an actual human being of a particular time and place, rather than as a timeless, ghostly and ethereal instrument of first-rank poetic genius–and she had red hair! Wineapple clarifies our past misconceptions about Higginson, and captures how he wisely and cunningly sought to protect a sensitive and eccentric poet from the vicious idiocies of the literary world. Beautifully written, illuminated by Wineapple's grasp of nineteenth-century American history, with its astonishing cast of literary, philosophical and military personalities, the book is irresistibly entertaining." —Franz Wright
"Wineapple is an astute literary biographer with a feisty prose style and a relish for unsettling received ideas. Social history–the taproot of character–is her forte… White Heat is written with a dry heat that does justice to its impassioned protagonists." —Judith Thurman, The New Yorker
"White Heat succeeds magnificently in shining a light into the work of two unlikely friends…a powerful insight into two extraordinary figures who where there, in a rather unusual way, for each other." —Bookpage
"A nuanced and insightful study." —Booklist, starred
"(A) brilliant study…she elegantly delves into a life and offers rich insights into a little-known relationship between two of the late-19th century's most intriguing writers." —Publishers Weekly, starred
"A moving portrait of two unalike but kindred spirits who did indeed "Dare [to] see a Soul at the 'White Heat.'" —Kirkus Reviews, starred
"White Heat is the story of a famous friendship in American Literature, but it is much more than that. Wineapple' s decision to let Higginson's life carry the narrative, with Dickinson's work providing the light from within–the epiphanies–is a stroke of structural genius worthy of Dickinson herself. This brilliant and moving sortie is without question the best account of Emily Dickinson ever written. It is a great story, greatly told." —Robert D. Richardson, author of Henry Thoreau: A Life of the Mind and Emerson: The Mind on Fire
"Brenda Wineapple, a superb literary critic, has a historian's soul. In White Heat, she beautifully describes the quiet drama and elusive tempos of one of the most improbable and fateful authorial friendships in all of American writing. Few contemporary interpreters, if any, could have understood the story in all its richness as Wineapple has–and then related it with such grace as well as authority." —Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln
"Sensitive and haunting evocation of an epistolary love affair between a famously reclusive poet and a handsome activist minister, told with all the power and passion of Emily Dickinson's art." —Meryle Secrest
"For those of us who have all but memorized Dickinson's poems and for anyone who has yet to discover this irresistible American original, Brenda Wineapple's gorgeously composed portrait of an extraordinary friendship will be a revelation. Her research is impeccable, partly because she is wise about the nuances of love, and partly, and this is no small matter for a literary historian, because she writes like an eloquent angel. Always a brilliant story teller, she has somehow managed, this time, to outdo even her own previous outdoing." —Joel Conarroe
"White Heat is biography at its very best. It brings these two to life more exactly, more sympathetically, more vividly than ever before. A triumph!" —J.D. McClatchy, poet, editor of Yale Review
"Brenda Wineapple brilliantly excavates and tracks the surprising relationship between Emily Dickinson, the reclusive genius of American literature, and Wentworth Higginson, her unlikely Preceptor. The book tells an unknown story. It also further establishes Wineapple as one of our finest literary biographers." —Edward Hirsch
"White Heat captures the most elusive of "elective affinities" in American letters. With matchless authority and knowledge, Wineapple restores, for the first time, the friendship between the reclusive genius and the bustling public man." —Benita Eisler
"Toeing the circumferences of biography and literary criticism, Brenda Wineapple has done an admirable and eloquent job of unraveling this intriguing chapter in the Emily Dickinson story, but always with respect for the mystery of compatibility at its core. No book I know brings us deeper into the inner chambers of this poet's private life." —Billy Collins, former poet laureate

SOPA/PIPA - what really stunts the growth of the Digital Economy?
Posted by Anthony Mullen on January 19, 2012

- 0 comments
The recent furore about SOPA and PIPA has set me thinking afresh about my position on copyright ownership legislation. I myself suffer, albeit in a very small way, from the kind of pirates being targeted by the bills and regularly find my Indian classical arrangement of Silent Night being illegally sold by pirate sites in China and elsewhere. It's frustrating but my views on the topic are not simply to create the biggest hammer possible to crush the activity.
What really stunts growth and adoption of the Digital Economy?
There is something wider at work here beyond simply piracy. The short term view, adopted by SOPA, is to instigate moderately Draconian measures impacting the architecture of the internet. My colleague Ari Osur has written an excellent post that clearly outlines how this might affect the world of the Marketer should SOPA/PIPA transpire in its current form.
A longer term view to the solution is that this piracy is mostly happening in emerging digital economies and that it is informally permissible until they mature. Joe Karaganis published a seminal report on Media Piracy in 2011 which took a fresh look at the topic with many case studies taken from emerging economies. One quote which sticks out is :
"we have seen little evidence—and indeed few claims—that enforcement efforts to date have had any impact whatsoever on the overall supply of pirated goods. Our work suggests, rather, that piracy has grown dramatically by most measures in the past decade, driven by the exogenous factors described above—high media prices, low local incomes, technological diffusion, and fast-changing consumer and cultural practices."
In short it's a pricing problem and the way to stop piracy is to make the products more affordable not to shut out developing markets aggressively.
Media and Rights Holders – Big Fish vs. Small Fish
Media distribution is flattening and the old hierarchies (record labels, film studios) are losing the monopoly in some areas. The large players are the entities that are most able to leverage SOPA right of redress – the small guy will not be able to petition ISPs/Payment Providers successfully. Further, based on UMG's heavy handed removal of the MegaUpload video recently there's no indication that these groups will use their powers wisely. Laws should democratically enable all publishers and copyright owners and not become a vehicle for only the largest players.
Ethics and Morals
Ethical business practice is something that is increasingly under the public microscope in a connected world. Fraud enablers such as payment systems and hosting services should be mandated to have a transparent and scalable complaints and takedown procedure but the SOPA offering isn't it. The moral compass of business will increasingly be judged by the public and indeed PayPal have recently found themselves on the end of a social media powered backlash due to their blunt approach to mediating in cases of suspected fraud.
Where might this debate go?
I expect the bill will be rejected but the debate will mature. Future amendments should more loosely couple legislation between the moving parts of DNS management, Search, Advertising and Payment to allow for a more organic and less Orwellian approach to the problem. From a systems organisational standpoint legislation that is too tightly coupled together crossing different domains is much less likely to succeed and when it breaks it will do so spectacularly. See Karl E. Weick for more ideas on his principals of organisational coupling.
A final thought …
To even the debate how about a blackout day for content providers where The Guardian, New York Times and iTunes all put the 'Gone Fishing' sign up on their front doors?

I'm not sure blowing a 3 game lead in 15 games would be a monumental collapse, its not exactly a huge number. In fact, we could blow it with a single bad series. We held on for a 3-2 win as Gavin Floyd pitched a great game tonight, which we needed considering Detroit bombed Oakland. There's 15 games left. If the Tigers go 10-5 and the Sox go 7-8, it will be a tie and it will hardly be because someone "collapsed". There's a long way to go. If we were up 3 with like 8 to play, then yeah that would be a collapse, but not at 15, where merely going .500 (which is not an awful thing) is good enough to get you beat.
The key for Chicago will be really taking care of business against Cleveland. We've got 6 games against them left and we need to win 4 of those games because the Anaheim and Tampa Bay series will be tough.
I'm going to peg the White Sox as needing 9 more wins to pull this off. I know DET has had issues with MIN and KC, but those are weak teams. If they can win 2 out of 3 vs. OAK and I think they will, I could see them winning each of their remaining series 2-1 and the KC series 3-1, so that would put them at around 11-4, so we need to go 9-6.
9 more. If we can get 4 from Cleveland, that leaves 5 more. I'll give us one win vs. Anaheim, two wins out of four vs. Tampa Bay, that's 7. Sale HAS to beat Chen tomorrow and Chen has had our number a little bit. We need to win tomorrow for sure cause Verlander will win. That would be 8 and then we need one more win, somewhere. If we can get to 9, it would force them to win 12 and that's tough.

Well-intentioned people have for years implored us to stop killing each other in much the same manner family members have begged alcoholics to simply stop drinking. Are we addicted to war and violence and, like alcoholics, telling us to stop killing has been as effective as telling a drunk to stop drinking? We needed more. We needed to find a new design for living?
The 12 Steps have been instrumental in changing the lives of millions of people in over 150 countries regardless of race, religion, or economic status. Those who once new only chaos, pain, and suffering have discovered peace, as a result of these Steps. Mankind has attempted political, economic, and military solutions all to no avail. Is it not time to try a spiritual solution?
Consider the Steps as a recipe for peace. Should they fail to produce the desired results we will refund your misery and you may return to killing at your convenience.

Shawna Farina grew up watching her young 29-year-old mother battle with breast cancer. Ever since then, with increased knowledge and commitment, Shawna has dedicated her life to providing awareness, information and funding to breast cancer by organizing Relay for Life Walks in honor of her mother and becoming an active member of the American Cancer society. Three weeks before her 26th birthday, doctors confirmed what she had long feared -- that she too had breast cancer.
Despite undergoing chemo-treatments, radiation, bi-lateral mastectomy and even total hysterectomy, this remarkable woman has put on a strong face for her husband and three children and continues to participate in her part-time job, dedicating her time to Relay for Life, and even remaining a Brownie Troop leader for her two daughters. In the past five years Shawna has raised over $449,000 for Relay for Life, including over $70,000 in the past year alone while undergoing treatments for her own cancer.
Despite her success in amassing funds for breast cancer, the Farina family's dreams of fixing up the old farmhouse are no longer plausible due to Shawna's increasing medical bills. The house contains no insulation for the long and cold winters, has a make-shift shower in their single bathroom and is missing three doors to the bedrooms. Now, with the help of Ty and the design team of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, the Farina family will finally have a home they truly deserve, one in which Shawna can watch her children grow up, undefeated by her illness.
While Ty and the designers, local builder Kerstiens Homes & Designs of Jasper, IN and hundreds of volunteers and workers are rebuilding their home, the Farina family will go on vacation to Walt Disney World.

I. Call to Order
Steve Philbrick, Council Chair, called the meeting to order.
II. Introductions
Introductions were made.
III. Acceptance of Minutes of Previous Meeting
A motion was made by Mrs. DeMerchant and seconded by Mr. Witte to accept the Council minutes for the last meeting.
Vote: unanimous – minutes accepted.
IV. Rulemaking
A. Step 3
1. 2012 Moose Season Permits
Mr. Connolly stated the packet showed what was originally advertised and then the suggested changes that would make adjustments in the number of permits in WMDs 7 and 11.
Mr. Kelly asked about the petition from Aroostook concerning WMDs 3 and 6 to eliminate the November hunt or move the permits into the September or October hunts. Had their been any consideration to that.
Commissioner Woodcock stated we would be happy to hold a meeting in that area when going through the permitting process next year. Because of the timing, it could not be included in this proposal.
A motion was made by Mr. Lewis and that was seconded by Mrs. DeMerchant to accept the proposal as presented.
Vote: unanimous – motion passed.
B. Step 2
1. Add WMD 9 to Spring Turkey Hunt; shot sizes
Mr. Connolly stated the comment period had ended on March 16, 2012. One comment was received related to technical information on the shot loads available. We were looking at that to come back with a more refined description that would allow for mixed loads that were presently commercially available for use that were considered effective when turkey hunting and clarifying the shot sizes. There were no comments regarding the WMD addition.
There were no further comments or questions.
2. Controlled Moose Hunt
Mr. Connolly stated the comment period ended on March 23, 2012, and no comments had been received regarding the proposal. The language embodied the changes that were proposed by those that participated in the hunt. They went through what occurred last year and made some adjustments and expanded the area.
There were no further comments or questions.
C. Step 1
1. 2012 Any-deer Permits
Mr. Connolly stated the regional biologists met with Mr. Kantar and incorporating the harvest data, winter severity data and information collected during Mr. Kantar's flights, they looked at the situation in light of the deer management system and made recommendations for any-deer permits. The preliminary allocations were what would be advertised.
Council Member Comments and Questions
Mr. Lewis asked if this took into account this year's winter weather and last year's as well. Some of the numbers were higher in a lot of areas.
Mr. Kantar stated for the majority of the southern part of the state there was very good news. This winter would likely turn out to be one of the most mild as we measured them. That had a huge impact on deer. Over winter survival of fawns was huge because it represented yearlings in the fall harvest. In Region A, looking at the deer harvest and where we had been looking at what happened after 2008-2009, we were back where we should be in 2011 in WMDs 20, 21 and 24. From that we obviously had the ability to issue more permits. Moving up the coast to Region B some of the historically best WMDs like 17 and 23 took it hard in the winters of 2008-2009 so we were still working to improve things there and were keeping permit levels down. He thought for 2012 and beyond we would be doing well and that would be seen in the harvest.
Commissioner Woodcock stated the mildness of the past winter was also a good year for northern Maine as well.
Mr. Savage asked if the deer yarded up during the mild winter.
Mr. Kantar stated in Mr. Savage's area it was an in and out issue. Where there were pockets of softwood deer would go in there alittle bit when there was a snowstorm and then they would come back out. In Mr. Kantar's area he did not think there was a day during the winter when they had what would be considered restrictive conditions (1 foot of snow or more).
Mr. Philbrick asked Mr. Kantar to describe how they measured a winter.
Mr. Kantar stated they measured winter for a 20 week period from early December through mid-April. We had 26 winter severity stations from York County to Little Black. Staff went out once a week, usually every Tuesday to measure snow depth. In an open hardwood stand we would have 5 snow stakes and in a closed stand where deer would yard we had 5 stakes spread out and we would take a snow depth measurement on each of those and average that together. When viewing deer tracks we measure to see how much the deer was sinking in the snow and at the same time we had data loggers that were in the stations at the deer's height and taking in information on the air temperature every hour on the hour 24/7 for 20 weeks. Those 3 variables were put together and there was an equation for that to come up with the winter severity index. Another important point about the numbers derived from those stations was we used several stations for one WMD in most parts and then looked at this winter (11-12) compared to the 15 year average. About every 5 years we updated the 15 year average so we could bring it into the present time. Another important point from this measure was that we were able to translate this into a rate of winter mortality on the deer. That was done based on data that the Department collected doing dead deer surveys in the yards and relating the number of dead deer they found to the winter severity index. There would be winter mortality every year and we looked at what kind of mortality was going to happen above and beyond what would happen on a typical year and that had a big effect on our allocations for any-deer permits.
Mr. Witte stated he did not see anything in the packet regarding youth day. This was a controversial issue and the past few years we had said that any WMDs with zero permits, we would not allow the youth to take does. Were we going to continue in that direction?
Commissioner Woodcock stated the Council would be making that determination at the next meeting to be held in Presque Isle. We would propose it and it would be part of the discussion at April's meeting.
2. Wolf hybrid rules
Mr. Connolly stated authority on wolf hybrids was in a state of transition. It was transitioning the authority for the possession of wolf hybrids to IF&W over time at the same time it was overseeing the phasing out of Agriculture. There was a dual possession process currently in place until the wolf hybrids that were currently licensed as canines through local communities expired. At that time all the licensing would fall on IF&W. At the current time anyone who possessed a wolf hybrid that animal had to be spayed or neutered, micro chipped and licensed as a canine. Anyone that met those criteria as of June 1, 2011 could continue to be held as a pet by the owners and continue to be licensed by them. However, the change in the law that was sponsored by Senator Trahan had changed the situation. Those animals could no longer be advertised and sold and when transferred the owners that received them had to be aware that they were dangerous animals. Exceptions for them to be bred and kennels licensed under Agriculture were now gone and any of those facilities that were formally licensed under Agriculture as of the end of 2012 would come under IF&W's permit. There were currently 2 facilities licensed as wolf hybrid shelters, one in Bristol and one on the border of NH and ME, the Lokie facility.
The burden for IF&W moving forward is that we were going to be responsible for assisting in the identification of wolf hybrids that are found and the statute was broad in terms of what defined a wolf hybrid. If an animal was loose, a town could ask for assistance from IF&W in recovering the animal and we were charged with putting into place a protocol for disposing of or placing any wolf hybrid that was found that couldn't be returned to its owner. We would have to have a process in place and make decisions in rule about how to proceed when those circumstances occurred. Currently, shelters that recovered a wolf hybrid had a very definite 8-day process that transferred ownership to them and if no one claimed it they could euthanize the animal.
We were also responsible for any animals that were not currently licensed. We would have to issue possession permits for them and set the criteria for how people would be allowed to keep those animals. Animals that were licensed as canines had to be spayed, neutered and micro chipped. The micro chipped or tattooed piece was in statute under Agriculture's rules and would not change, but we would have to make the decision for possession by an IF&W permit if we would require the animals to be spayed or neutered. Were we going to have exceptions for kennels although you could no longer sell the animals. We also had to set standards for caging because they were considered dangerous. We were supposed to put in place cage standards that would prevent that animal from becoming loose and potentially impacting other people's property and human safety as well. If the animal was licensed as a canine they did not face those same restrictions.
Another constant in this was that there was no recognized rabies vaccine for wolf hybrids. When discussed with the Attorney General's office we would not put in place a requirement that they be certified with having had a rabies vaccine. That was not required under Agriculture's standards and it would be inappropriate for us to because the Human Service's standard is that if a wolf hybrid bit someone that animal must be euthanized under Maine law and then tested for rabies. Even if it had a rabies vaccine.
The Council would be making decisions in terms of were we going to have facilities where they were allowed to be bred, even if it was for personal pleasure or were we going to require them to be spayed or neutered. What standards would we have for people importing them into Maine? We would have to have a clear criteria defined that would allow us to judge those cases and make decisions.
Council Member Questions and Comments
Mrs. Ware asked how many were registered to date.
Mr. Connolly stated we had not received that information at this point.
Mrs. DeMerchant asked if this would be at Step 2 at the Presque Isle meeting.Commissioner Woodcock stated there were a lot of transitions going on with Agriculture and Conservation. The rules were
transitioning to us so we were in the midst of trying to make a decision that was appropriate for the timing.
Mr. Wheaton stated there should be fines for people that did breed them without our knowledge and if one did get out it should be a $20,000 fine. Department staff would have to chase the animal and track it down. If one did get loose the Department would be on the line as moose and deer would be in jeopardy.
Mr. Witte stated if there was a situation like the one that occurred in his area, now the Warden Service would be involved?
Mr. Connolly stated the Animal Damage Control Officer (ACO) had the authority to recover the animal and shelters had the right to take it in.
Mr. Witte stated he was the ACO, but usually he had to go there with the Sheriff's Deputy because of the dimension of the problem with the neighbors chickens being killed. He would be the primary contact, but if things developed instead of calling the sheriff's office would he contact Warden Service?
Mr. Connolly stated the statute provided that the Department could be contacted but protocol had to be defined.
Mr. Witte asked when definitively would we be licensing the animals.
Mr. Connolly stated any adult animal that was 6 months or older on June 1, 2011 and licensed at that point and time or any animal that was a wolf hybrid and less than 6 months old that wasn't licensed on the end of December 2011 had to be licensed through the Department. We had to accomplish that licensing by July 1, 2012. Previous animals were grandfathered and could continue to be licensed and come under the authority of Agriculture as pets. The owners were allowed to maintain those animals and keep them as pets.
Mr. Savage asked how much of a commitment this was by the Department, how much added work would there be and where did it fall, Wildlife Division?
Mr. Connolly stated we would have to set fees. Would we have the same fee rate as the normal possession permits? The recovery piece was something not provided for in the statute in terms of funding but it was a mandate that the Department would have to respond.
Mr. Connolly stated we were receiving calls from individuals that did not fall under the current licensing standard. We were making an effort to get a preliminary application in place so we could begin collecting information from them so when we did have the rule in place we could issue a possession permit for, that they would already be on record. We needed to be sensitive to the fact that what we did may cause a reaction in the public.
Mr. Witte discussed people stating to veterinarians that their animal was a wolf hybrid. How were we distinguishing this, whether or not the animal was a wolf hybrid?
Mr. Connolly stated we were authorized in statute to make that determination and conduct genetic testing if we wanted to. We had to look at what a genetic test cost and what we were accomplishing. The statute that Agriculture currently had in place was an owner making that determination was one of the determining factors of whether it was a wolf hybrid as well as the fact that it is actually between other animals. Mr. Connolly stated a summary sheet would be put together to outline the issue. Part of the challenge has been to coordinate with Agriculture and the Attorney General's office to figure out what we were charged to do under the law.
There were no further questions or comments.
V. Other Business
1. Update from Sportsman's Alliance of Maine
Dave Trahan stated he would like to give an update on what SAM was doing that was new and reach out and establish new relationships that may have been fractured in the past. Some of the new projects they had established included trying to build stronger relationships with the sportsman's clubs. They had applied to Outdoor Heritage for a grant to create a statewide official network for fish and game clubs. By doing that they could increase their effect in communities. Small clubs were not able to take on big projects because they just didn't have the man power. It was his hope they could help those smaller clubs to share manpower and experience to become more effective.
Mr. Trahan stated they had created the deer management network and Gerry Lavigne was their deer biologist. Trying to put forward policies around deer management they would like to establish three parts; hunters, habitat, and predator control. As part of the network they reached out to Agway as a distributor of grain around deer feeding. Through research they discovered that for distributors of grain that people fed deer, it was the fastest growing product at many of the stores. Given that increase SAM worked with IF&W to establish an education program. 18 Agway stores received information on how to responsibly feed deer.
On June 13th SAM was partnering with the Union at Bath Iron Works to hold a bass tournament on Messalonskee Lake. It would be a tribute to heroes program. They would be doing more programs in the community to promote positive aspects of hunting and fishing.
Mr. Trahan stated SAM's membership had grown by 830 members since he had become Executive Director. He felt we were on the cusp of losing a generation of kids and SAM would be adapting to accommodate that whether it be the broken family, the economy, etc. They would be holding events for kids that maybe couldn't afford to go themselves. His local fish and game club had taken part. They were down to 20 members and they resurrected the club by focusing on youth and family. His commitment to IF&W was that there had been a strained relationship with the Department and SAM; they often would agree but when they disagreed that would be done respectfully.
2. Islesboro deer reduction
Mr. Kemper stated the Council members should have received a mailing of a brief history of what was happening. The Town of Islesboro contacted the Department and had been discussing the issue with staff for some time. Islesboro was seeking permission to hold a special hunt for deer reduction. Mr. Anderson represented the Islesboro Deer Reduction Committee and Carol McCullin who lived on Seven Hundred Acre Island which would also be included in the deer reduction effort. Residents of Islesboro had to take the plan to the town and it would best to get a sense from the Advisory Council of the potential for having the hunt before they went before the Town. Islesboro had done a good job of looking at their deer population. They consulted for two separate deer population estimates. The first came in around 50 deer per square mile and the second came in at about 48 deer per square mile. It was easy to see on the landscape that there was a significant number of deer; understory issues, heavy browsing, heavy damage, property issues. The catalyst for the special hunt was the large increase in the number of lyme disease cases on Islesboro. What started out as a lyme disease committee morphed into a deer reduction committee. There had been a number of drafts of the plan and their effort was to drive the deer population down to about 10 deer per square mile and maintain at that level.
Mrs. DeMerchant asked if the survey had gone out yet.
Mr. Kemper stated there was a fairly extensive survey that went out to all of the landowners on Islesboro. The survey was geared to ask if they were in favor of the hunt, was their property open and available for hunting, would they consider it, were they in favor of bows, guns, etc. They had a fairly good response rate to the survey.
Mr. Anderson stated they did have a large deer population and through efforts they did have an expanded archery season and the population had started to drop somewhat, but they only had records for the last two years. Their hope was to go after the deer in a big way for a few years and take another count and see where they were at. Hopefully they could reduce the number of lyme disease cases.
Mr. Witte asked if there was a tagging station on Islesboro.
Mr. Anderson stated yes.
Mr. Kemper stated it would be the Department's intention to make sure we got appropriate biological data from the deer that were harvested.
Commissioner Woodcock asked who would be able to participate in the hunt.
Mr. Kemper stated the group was pretty emphatic they would like the hunt to be Islesboro residents as well as Islesboro landowners.
Mr. Savage asked if there were enough residents and landowners to accomplish what they were trying to do.
Mr. Kemper stated in the survey they identified 80 – 85 island residents who expressed a willingness to engage in the hunt. In addition to being a licensed hunter which would require you to complete a hunter safety course there would be an additional safety briefing they would have to attend.
Mr. Kelly asked if this would be in addition to the expanded archery hunt.
Mr. Kemper stated when the expanded archery hunt would end there, this hunt would follow. This was proposed to be a 3 week hunt at the end of December; bows, crossbows and shotguns with details to be worked out.
Mrs. Ware stated one of the few things that made the controlled moose hunt continuing to be acceptable in Aroostook County was the number of additional permits for disabled veterans. Having special opportunity for the hunt to serve other populations would be more tenable.
Mr. Lewis asked if a special hunt like this had been done anywhere else.
Mr. Boland stated he thought some of the hunts on the islands in Casco Bay may have been open.
Major Sanborn stated they were hand selected hunters that had an interest to the area. Not many people lived on those islands in Casco Bay.
Commissioner Woodcock asked Major Sanborn if he was aware of any residents only hunts in a controlled situation.
Major Sanborn stated no.
Mr. Kemper stated he did not think of Islesboro as a traditional island. Islesboro had ½ a township, almost 17 square miles.
3. General Wildlife Possession Permits
Mrs. DeMerchant stated this dealt with how the permit was listed on the website to make it easier to find. She had received an e-mail from Mr. Roy and he thought it might be helpful if we listed the permit in a different fashion. She asked Mr. Roy to speak to the matter.
Philip Roy stated he had broad experience doing stuff on the internet and it took him approximately 1 ½ hours to find the application on the website. He started by going to the list of permits and licenses the Department had and he found it was listed as "general". He then went to the list of downloadable permits and looked under "g" for general and there was nothing listed. He then looked under Wildlife and it wasn't listed there either. He finally located the application under "possession". He felt that was vague and people may not realize it was for general wildlife possession. The permit should be called the same thing in each place it was listed.
Commissioner Woodcock stated it was not a big concern, the issue was more complex than just this one permit. Wildlife was the key word connected with the public and we were comfortable with that, it just needed a change of venue and the same title. We needed to concern ourselves with how did the public most readily access the application.
VI. Councilor Reports
Councilors gave reports.
VII. Public Comments & Questions
Mr. Connolly stated the residents from Islesboro came to the meeting to present their proposal because they needed to go back to their community and begin the process of implementing it with the Town. The Department could move forward with rulemaking once the Town had approved the proposal. Did the Council see any flaws with the proposal? They were seeking guidance.
Mr. Philbrick stated the information they had received would not be enough for a straw vote. He felt the idea was acceptable.
Mrs. Ware stated something that would be more appealing would be a limited duration, it should not be a forever thing. The second thing would be to expand the hunt beyond their residency.
Mr. Kelly stated it would help if they put a clear reason on why they wanted only resident's of the island hunting.
Mr. Witte referred to the Monhegan hunt where they went on the island and took them off. He would not be opposed to the hunt, but did question it being limited to just the islanders.
Mr. Kantar stated he felt it was important they didn't lose sight the difference between what they were asking for is a management tool. The number one concern of the Town was they had a high risk for lyme disease. There was a difference between the management tool and recreational opportunity. Anyone from the mainland could hunt expanded archery, etc. and have opportunity. The Town wanted control on the place where they lived to deal with the problem of too many deer which propagates deer tick and causes high levels of lyme disease.
Mr. Connolly stated the Department had talked with the community about trying to maintain the recreational hunt aspect. This was not done as a depredation hunt with permits. They understood long term the best way to address the issue was to open land and continue to encourage access.
Mr. Anderson stated he would speak with their committee about opening it up to veterans and youth. For a long time on Islesboro there were no deer taken with firearms legally and people were very leary. They were trying to do deer reduction with people that knew the land and neighbors. They would make sure that everyone participating got written landowner permission.
Gary Corson asked about Grand Falls Flowage and livewells and 1% mortality. What about the methods used to catch the fish? Live fish as bait and no live fish as bait was allowed on that body of water. That certainly would increase mortality by 1%. What were we doing about that? He brought it up not only for the Flowage but in general. We had brook trout waters that were catch and release that allowed live bait.
Commissioner Woodcock stated they had discussed bait in brook trout waters. We were addressing the future of bait fish in certain waters.
Mr. Boland stated generally with artificial lures and flies you were in the 1% - 4% mortality range. Using live bait and other types of bait mortality was increased to 5% - 20% depending on the study. Some of the studies conducted on hot summer days mortality could be very high.
Mr. Wheaton commented on use of stainless steel hooks. He felt we should go to a mild steel hook that the fish could digest.
VIII. Agenda Items & Schedule Date for Next Meeting
The next meeting was scheduled for Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. in Presque Isle.
IX. Adjournment
A motion was made by Mrs. DeMerchant and that was seconded by Mr. Lewis to adjourn the meeting. The meeting was adjourned at 11:30 p.m.

Invaluable for the insight they give into the daily life of the poet and his friendship with Coleridge, they are also remarkable for their spontaneity and immediacy, and for the vivid descriptions of people, places, and incidents that inspired some of Wordsworth's best-loved poems. The Grasmere Journal was begun at Dove Cottage in May 1800 and kept for three years. Dorothy notes the walks and the weather, the friends, country neighbors and beggars on the roads; she sets down accounts of the garden, of Wordsworth's marriage, their concern for Coleridge, the composition of poetry. The earlier Alfoxden Journal was written during 1797-8, when the Wordsworths lived near Coleridge in Somerset. Not intended for publication, but to "give Wm Pleasure by it," both journals have a quality recognized by Wordsworth when he wrote of Dorothy that "she gave me eyes, she gave me ears."About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The vicar's shaking fist and the pleasure of birds
I wrote a post a week or so ago about playing concerts in churches, but it struck me that I have actually recorded as much in churches (or buildings that used to be churches) as given public performances there.
When 'recording studio' is mentioned most people probably think of a soundproof room, its ceiling clad with foam, wires streaming from holes in its ugly polystyrene walls, armies of microphones, triple glazed windows – a sort of refrigerator sealed from the outside world in order to preserve the controlled sounds created within. With most pop or electronic music the acoustic of the room should play no part at all in the final product, everything relies on control through post-production mixing; a bloom on the sound, because it varies and is unpredictable, is undesirable.
But in most classical music recordings the natural acoustic of the space is an important part of the process. Not only does a beautifully-sounding hall encourage the performer(s) to play better, to relish the overtones, to savour the nuances, but it makes the final CD sound more natural. Classical music, and the instruments on which it is played, is organic – in more than one sense of the word.
St. George's Brandon Hill, Henry Wood Hall, Rosslyn Hill Chapel, All Saints East Finchley and All Saints Tooting are some of the churches where I've made recordings over the past 25 years. But not having a sealed environment can have its drawbacks. The roar of a jet plane, the hum of a lawn mower, a distant car alarm have all on occasion forced me to stop in mid-flight, and sometimes more dramatic interruptions can occur.
The producer with whom I've worked the most over the years, the wonderful, irresistible, irreplaceable Andrew Keener, told me once of an incident when he was working with one pianist in a church. The parish school had just dismissed its students for the day and they were merrily playing outside during some of the music's quieter moments. So frustrated was the pianist in question with having constantly to stop that he eventually strode over to a window, flung it open, and proceeded to shake his fist with words of matching anger and annoyance at the screaming kids. He only realized later that his white turtleneck sweater and the height of the window would have made him appear to those outside as a vicar in clerical garb. I'm not sure he ever recorded there again.
Many years ago I was recording a Schumann CD. We'd reached the sublime, rapt third movement of his Fantasie op 17 when birds at the windows began making sounds of raucous, squawking pleasure. I'm sure that Robert and Clara at the height of their courtship were not so demonstrative. In the end – with ruined take after ruined take, time running out, and sanity at the point of shreds – I had to run out with a starting pistol (the engineer had thought of everything), shoot it into the air, then run back inside again to complete the recording. No glowing acoustic can compensate for such handicaps.
Nevertheless on one of my CDs you can hear, if you listen very carefully, for just a few seconds, the gentle warble of external (chaste) birdsong. We left it there. It was the best take. It was unobtrusive. It was musical. It was organic.

Police: Baby slaying suspect had bullets in pocket
Police warrants say a teenager charged with fatally shooting a baby in the face in on a Brunswick street had bullets in his pants pocket when he was arrested the next day.
The Brunswick News reported a search warrant filed Friday in Glynn County Magistrate Court says officers found two .22-caliber bullets in a pants pocket of 19-year-old De'Marquise Elkins when they arrested him March 22.
Elkins is charged with murder in the March 21 slaying of 13-month-old Antonio Santiago, who police say was shot in the face as Elkins an accomplice tried to rob the toddler's mother who had taken him out for a walk in a stroller.
Authorities also charged 15-year-old Dominique Lang in the slaying. Both teens have been charged as adults and have pleaded not guilty.
Police say they later recovered a .22-caliber pistol that Elkins' mother and sister dumped in a saltwater pond. Police charged both women with tampering with evidence.

subconscious city
February 8, 2008 to May 11, 2008
Subconscious City examines the often hidden underpinnings of Winnipeg – its myths, its vacant lots, its forgotten communities, its hidden gems – and reveals a complicated picture of where we live and work. More than a tourist snapshot or glossy one-great-city image, this contemporary exhibition delves deeply into the nature of our urban social and physical landscape and its power to shape identity. An outstanding roster of 27 local artists, reflecting different media, different stages in their careers, and different points of view, will be featured in this artful expression of civic pride.
The exhibition explores interiors and exteriors of Winnipeg; our people; our neighbourhoods; our treatment of what we would prefer remains unseen; and our predilection for paving over what is deemed undesirable. Artists in Winnipeg have always been vocal about the complex and marvelous city that is Winnipeg, as well as what it could be. Through their activism and their art, they have asserted, inspired, and nuanced images of this place. This exhibition reflects this engaged relationship between artists and their home.
Curated by Shawna Dempsey and Lorri Millan. Subconscious City will include recent works by K.C. Adams, Keith Berens, Eleanor Bond, Sarah Crawley, Leah Decter, Richard Dyck, William Eakin, Walter Forsberg, Noam Gonick, Richard Holden, Simon Hughes, Krisjanis Kaktins-Gorsline, Bonnie Marin, David McMillan, jake moore, Kristin Nelson, Grace Nickel, Freya Olafson, Linda Pearce, Matthew Rankin, Robert Sim, Scott Stephens, Jennifer Stillwell, Diana Thorneycroft, Rachael Tycoles, Jordan Van Sewell, and David Wityk.
Sponsored by the Imperial Tobacco Canada Foundation and the Manitoba Arts Council, supported by the Canada Council for the Arts and The W.H. & S.E. Loewen Foundation Inc. Media sponsor: Winnipeg Free Press. A publication is available in the Gallery Shoppes.

Residents searching for adventure will find it locally when they take part in the 23rd annual Passport to Adventure through Labor Day.
Sponsored by the Kane-DuPage Regional Museum Association, the program encourages children ages 4 to 12 to explore all the wonders local museums have to offer while charting the journey in a keepsake passport.
"The Passport to Adventure book highlights about 70 museums, historic homes and farms and nature centers," said Donna DeFalco, of Naper Settlement. "You could visit one attraction every day and have something to do all summer. All of the sites listed in the passport booklet are family friendly and reasonably priced."
The annual program invites visitors to experience a variety of activities, many designed specifically for children. After picking up a passport at participating museums, visitors will receive a stamp, and are encouraged to fill their passports with as many stamps as they can.
"It's a great way for families to experience the many museums and nature centers that are located throughout the suburban Chicago area," DeFalco said. "There are so many fascinating places to see in Kane and DuPage counties; I think it's a great resource for families to keep all year long."
One museum new to the passport program is the Little White Museum in Oswego. Roger Matile, director since 1990, said the Kendall County museum is the first in the county to join the association.
"We're hoping the program will introduce the Little White School Museum and the village of Oswego to an entirely new group of visitors who may well be unfamiliar with our area," Matile said. "In addition, we're hoping that the list of participating museums and nature centers in each passport will provide some interesting, nearby places residents of the Oswegoland community can easily visit this summer."
Matile said the passport program offers a variety of benefits for local families.
"Finding interesting and fun places to visit leads to a better understanding of the area in which we live," the director said. "(It) puts a new spin on places we think we're already familiar with."
If you go
The Passport to Adventure Program is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12 and is sponsored by the Kane-DuPage Regional Museum Association.
1. Each summer from May 1 until Labor Day, pick up a free passport booklet at a participating museum or participating library.
2. Visit as many sites as you wish — museums, nature centers and historic sites — described in the booklet. Receive a stamp at each participating site. Some sites are free while some charge an entry fee.
3. Some sites may offer a prize if you've visited a certain number of sites. Check your booklet to determine where to return your stamped booklet for a possible prize.

The MCM-100s brings Barco's rewarded multi-channel features to an external device. This interface allows geometry correction, color correction, and electronic blending on corporate HD or WUXGA projectors, with a real-time on-screen user interface and the performance known from Barco's higher end simulation projectors.
The MCM-100s handles both mono and stereo sources up to 120 Hz. Stereo sources can be connected with a single active stereo signal or by means of a left and right passive stereo signal. Lower frame rate active stereo sources at e.g. 60Hz can be upscaled to 120 Hz to avoid flicker. Multiple MCM-100s can be synchronized to easily allow multi-channel stereo displays.
A twin Dual link DVI-D input and two extra input layers for additional inputs (such as DVI/D15 or analog RGBHV) are by default part of the MCM-100s' basic package. Its dual link DVI output follows synchronously the selected input source.
The MCM-100s can be controlled by means of an IR remote control or through IP - by means of the optional XDS-Racu software suite. The latter can control a complete display with multiple MCM-100s's, driving several Barco RLM W-series projectors, from a single control PC.

A Duet With MusicA Duet With Music
The music replays inside my mind,
echoing forever.
The melodies ad harmonies mix and dance,
with color and swirls of sound.
Lyrics are words that relate, sing to the heart,
and open the soul.
The rhythm of a heartbeat,
the feelings that breathe,
the feelings that speak.
I feel the rush of thoughts that music brings.
Whispers, soothes, cries, and loves.
Music is
Raw, gentle, sweet, laughing, and
Notes catch stars in a jar,
keeping time all day long.
over and over.
It never truly ends.
Reminiscence I walked down the cream carpet steps of the basement and into the laundry room- a dark room full of cobwebs. But nothing like the old laundry room. Though it too was dark and cobwebby... it wasn't the same.
Picking past piles of dirty clothes I had yet to wash, I found them- the curtains. They were off-white at this point, not the bright pure white they had been back at the beach house. I grabbed them all up in my arms and held them close to my face, smelling the familiar smell of driftwood and coconut. I tried to make a move to set them down, but found myself falling to the floor with them, clutching the lace ever tighter.
"I miss you," I whispered into them, the saltiness of my tears mixing with that of the leftover sea. "I miss you." Suddenly, my remorseful reminiscing was broken off- I heard my name being called.
That's not the way you called for me, I thought, still c
Unending LoveI seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,
That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,
In life after life, in age after age, forever.
Whenever I hear old chronicles of love, it's age-old pain,
It's ancient tale of being apart or together.
As I stare on and on into the past, in the end you emerge,
Clad in the light of a pole-star piercing the darkness of time:
You become an image of what is remembered forever.
You and I have floated here on the stream that brings from the fount.
At the heart of time, love of one for another.
We have played along side millions of lovers, shared in the same
Shy sweetness of meeting, the same distressful tears of farewell-
Old love but in shapes that renew and renew forever.
Today it is heaped at your feet, it has found its end in you
The love of all man's days both past and forever:

My top 15 albums of 2012Hello!
I did the same thing a year ago, so it's time for a new one! This time I also added some lesser known musicians/bands. Choosing would be easier if I made a top 50, but that would be a hell of a lot of work. Here it is (not in any particular order).
Alcest - Les Voyages De L'Âme http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgYkrDQYeZg
Alcest are one of the biggest musical inspirations to me. These French eccentrics combine elements from shoegaze, metal and post-rock, and they creative beautiful, atmospheric music this way. This is their third full-length. It sounds very dreamy and the lyrics are poetic. The artwork for this album is also gorgeous, made by Fursy Teyssier, creator of a musical project called Les Discrets (who also made a new album this year).

Atheist scolds Christian scammerWhen you list something for sale on Craigslist, scammers from Africa will often respond with fake payments and attempt to get you to ship your real goods to them. Here's one who emailed me, and I ended up giving him more than an earful. Below is the actual conversation which took place through email over a couple of days. It starts out as you would expect, but ends somewhere else entirely. I think it's an entertaining read.
Scammer: Good day...i saw your advert regarding your [item] for sale. hope it's still available...? (I was 90% sure this is a scammer at this point due to the format of the message, name and email address used, etc..)
Me: Yep.
Scammer: Thanks for the mail, Alright then i will offer you $420 for the item including the shipping and handling to my nephew schooling at Montessori high college in west Africa.Please accept this amount that's what I've got. Or mail me the courier cost, how's that? Awaiting your feedback.

I stumbled on this quote and wondered what you think:
|Sat, 04-09-2011 - 10:19am
That only works if you are comparing the same mother and the same baby using two different methods - but the chances that bottle feeding would turn a bad or inattentive BFing mother into a good or attentive bottle feeding mother is very small. I won't say it's impossible, but it is unlikely.
However, having known a mother who BF badly - I do believe that it can cause harm. However in this case it was much more than simply watching soap operas while BFing - I don't think that would cause harm in and of itself.
|Sat, 04-09-2011 - 1:50pm
Why would a mother need to focus on her baby every second of every feeding in order for breastfeeding to be worth doing? I think it's ridiculous. All babies should ideally be fed "lovingly", but what does that even mean? I think it's pretty darn "loving" to sit with my baby in my warm arms suckling freely and on demand for hours on end, even if I'm sometimes also watching TV or reading, or chatting with someone else in the room. This was especially true after I had more than one child to take care of by myself all day long, and needed to interact with my active toddler while my baby nursed on demand.
Interesting choice with the mention of "a soap opera", too. I think that just adds more fuel to the whole "barefoot and pregnant" image so many people have of BF'ers. You know, they stay home all day with their babies and just watch TV, especially trashy junk like soap operas. Just more of the same after that article about BF'ers not being as good at their jobs, IMO, like those who think that SAHM's "don't work". I've never watched a soap opera in my life, but I've been a SAHM and have been breastfeeding constantly for the whole time, for nearly 20% of my life.
|Sat, 04-09-2011 - 6:28pm
I wonder if it would be better if I were bf carelessly and watching the History Channel. No, too much spin there. But surely there is nothing wrong with bf carelessly while you are watching the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition on Blu-Ray, which I will be doing a lot of in July after it comes out June 28. ;-P
Frankly, F is asleep about 80-90% of the time anyway. If he's awake I'll usually talk to him and look at him. I don't tend to do it at night, though, because obviously I don't want him to associate night-time with awake time.
I agree with pp that a mother who bf carelessly isn't likely to be a mother who bottle-feeds with love. I don't know a single mother who doesn't occasionally bf while watching tv, eating a meal, having a conversation, even shopping. But then I don't know a single person who doesn't occasionally bottle-feed while doing the same things. The difference is that the baby can control the flow of milk at the breast, but someone who is distracted during bottle-feeding may not notice that the baby is long since finished and trying to fight the flow of milk. I'd take distracted bf anyday over distracted bottle-feeding.

|Sat, 04-09-2011 - 8:16pm
I'd say that sounds about right. He's outright asleep probably 18 hours a day, and that's 75% of the time. Then he has times where he dozes off for awhile on one or the other of us. I'd say 3-4 hours of awake time each day sounds about right. Granted, I can't quite tell if he's awake or asleep when he's nursing with his eyes closed. I would guess lightly asleep, but I suppose I could be wrong. And I should definitely note that he just turned one month today. By two months, E had definite awake times and a nap routine.
I suppose it could be worse. I couldn't guarantee E was awake even if her eyes were open. Freaked me out to no end to come get her out of the bouncy seat and see her, completely asleep, with her eyes half-open. I was REALLY glad when she quit doing that.

"Unbelievable! I love plain old boiled cabbage with soy sauce, but needed a lower sodium alternative. I went looking and found this. Made it with low salt soy sauce and lots of garlic. This is a real keeper."
"This recipe is the best!!! So easy, quick and the flavor just knocks your socks off! The whole family loved it. Even the 18-year-old that swears she hates garlic, (right)... "
