Critical Essay by Judith Hall
SOURCE: "Strangers May Run: The Nation's First Woman Poet Laureate," in The Antioch Review, Vol. 52, No. 1, Winter, 1994, pp. 141-46.
In the following essay, Hall comments on Van Duyn's stature as the first woman ever named poet laureate in the United States and discusses critical opinions of Van Duyn's works.
When the position of poetry consultant to the Library of Congress was elevated, by an act of Congress, to the more classic-or anglo-or botanical-sounding poet laureate, the U.S. Congress (or was it simply the government's library staff?) could not agree to elevate, with the office, the incumbent Gwendolyn Brooks. The consensus was no; the debate unpublicized, and who was surprised? When Robert Penn Warren's name emerged, it may have had—in those days, soon described as long ago, the late '80s—a ring more historic or laudatory, at least fugitive, white, various, and questing. "But go on," he said, "that's how men survive."
Six years later, Americans, in our love of variety and evanescence, have welcomed and discarded as many laureates. Finally, in June, 1992, for some reason, the nation could accept a woman laureate: Mona Van Duyn. Why a woman? "I heard that Merwin wouldn't do it." One historian would listen, satisfied, and leave to write it down.
Others argue on: Why a woman? No one would expect a volunteer. After all, it was a job and salaried; the figure, $35,000, was defined by one official as "about half a salary" for poets. Money, so precisely introduced, will yield saliva. And when our government announces, however indirectly, that poets should receive about $70,000, I swallow. I gasp. I pour domestic champagne and compose something almost patriotic about Toast-R-Ovens and iced tea and the enduring consolations of amber waving grain.
And yet, the official sounds apologetic. The library will offer only half—half of what the poet may deserve. To work for half? Any man would hesitate today, after the salary was publicized, half-cocked. Or having done it, however briefly, he would turn from Washington, D.C., concluding that the "job" was "ill-paid, ill-defined, and ultimately ill-executed." Why a woman? Why now? To work for half … "Oh, yes, I see." Other historians would listen, unsatisfied, and leave. I see them walking to another institute, where they lean together, unobserved, and argue other reasons, more capricious or meritorious; why a woman poet laureate arrived.
But why Van Duyn? Perhaps that is easier to reckon than the timing of our first woman poet laureate. Before she was chosen, Van Duyn's books had won a Pulitzer, a Bollingen, and a National Book Award; such garlands, won together, were once considered the Triple Crown. Think of the poet strewn, at least as lavishly as Secretariat, with pink confetti and money and more domestic champagne. All this assurance, then, of merit, so consoling to American readers, may now prepare us for the poems. The poems?
Two volumes in 1993 heralded our first woman poet laureate: Firefall, new poems, and If It Be Not I: Collected Poems 1959–1982. These, along with Near Changes (1990), constitute a reminder of all that she has given us and justify her laureateship. Each of these three books includes "praise for Mona Van Duyn"; a curious redundancy; the same hoorays selected for each book. I linger for a minute on these accolades, composed by younger players, and consider their use, as praise is always used, for advertisement.
Her poetry is "beautiful and exact," "accessible and profound," with several noting how long she has been working: for "several decades"; "since 1959." The woman works, you see, and has "ambition … intelligence," attributes that still might disconcert those who want a poet to be natural; so rushing in behind to ease the nervous reader, the blurbette soothes with "humor … ease … original without eccentricity."
Advertisements are designed to soothe the reader, long enough to buy the book, and yet I am puzzled, then concerned, to see how such reviews of Van Duyn's work, and then a murmuring opinion in the field, resemble these bland remarks. "However rich, [her voice] is never bland," hails the New York Times, with earnest vacuity, and goes so far as to announce, cheerfully, her "utter unsentimental love for the world."
Beautiful, accessible, unsentimental: a woman's triple crown? Thank God, no "eccentricity" confirmed in Janson type on all three books. Now the poems are safe for public consumption, composed, in fact, by the somehow more consoling Mrs. Jarvis Thurston. Think of Mrs. Browning, the first woman mentioned for England's poet laureate. Mrs. Thurston; Mrs. Browning; safe. And yet, if I were seeking a woman's poetry that was "beautiful, accessible, unsentimental," I might choose Anne, Countess of Winchelsea, or even (must there be another quarrel?) Edna St. Vincent Millay, our "unofficial feminine laureate," as Louise Bogan wrote impatiently.
"A great many of my poems have been misread by mostly male critics—I mean, most of the critics are male." said Mona Van Duyn (Mrs. Jarvis Thurston) in an interview, apparently her fifty-eighth, as the first woman poet laureate. She was seventy-one. "I use domestic imagery and extend that imagery through the whole poem, but I'm not writing about that. It's simply used as a metaphor. There's nothing insulting about that. I do write some domestic poems. So do the male poets. But it is a limiting term when it's used over and over for a poet who, aside from the few domestic poems she and they do write, uses domestic metaphor to describe ideas…."
Her tone is almost palpable fatigue, or is it anger? It is exasperating to defend the same ground fifty-eight times or dodge a well-meaning review that waters down a woman's work until it drifts away. Or accept a phantom surrogate, the blurb, when in it, one woman's verse resembles any other. Anne Bradstreet's, for example: "Tis the Work of a Woman, honoured and esteemed where she lives, for her gracious courteous disposition, the exact diligence in her place, and discreet mannaging of her family occasions."
The praise, "exact" and "mannaging" her family, in 1650, becomes in 1993 "exact" and "accessible"; "the searching intelligence of … the well-educated wife, good friend, and daughter." Van Duyn does indeed offer her American reader a persona in the guise of wife, friend, or daughter. She is complicit, to that extent, with social expectations; with the heterosexual reader in suburbia, who is comfortable and almost smug in middle-life, or later; who takes a little wit with bourbon after work.
This reader likes Van Duyn when she is decorous, self-mocking—poses she brings to "Notes From a Suburban Heart": "I love you, in my dim-witted way." Her poems may end on this girlishly ironic note or with apology or certainty, but these are strategies intended to distract with consolation from the jeopardy she knows. Van Duyn offers her reader half of what he seeks: the compensations of suburbia; but offered with this "helpless" expectation is her own perspective:
Peony stalks come up like red asparagus,
I said; my friend said they look like dogs' penises.
It was something misplaced I noticed, the color of a wound,
but she's right, it has something to do with love too in my mind.
("Peony Stalks")
This is quintessential Van Duyn—narrative draped around a rumination; accentual stanzaic pattern with end rhymes, slanted and supported by internal assonance. Suburbia; a friend; a garden, but with dogs' penises in it and wounds.
Van Duyn is a poet of relationships recollected in tranquillity. Although most of our poetry is set in solitude, she hedges hers with others, usually one other figure at a time. Or when, in "Three Valentines to the Wide World," the poem ends with a young woman witnessing her own "untended power," the experience is distilled in social terms; a parable in moonlight. And the rage and violation described are amplified by their mutation and the disturbing inevitability of her rhymed octaves:
And if, in the middle of her life, some beauty falls on
a girl, who turns under its swarm to astonished woman,
them, into that miraculous buzzing, stung
in the lips and eyes without mercy, strangers may run.
An untended power—I pity her and them.
It is late, late; haste! says the falling moon,
as blinded they stand and smart till the fever's done
and blindly she moves, wearing her furious weapon.
Beauty is merciless and intemperate.
Who, turning this way and that, by day, by night,
still stands in the heart-felt storm of its benefit,
will plead in vain for mercy, or cry, "Put out
the lovely eyes of the world, whose rise and set
move us to death!" And never will temper it,
but against that rage slowly may learn to pit
love and art, which are compassionate.
Van Duyn's best work uses linguistic clarity as a response to long acquaintance with the irrational, the bereft, and the chronically beleaguered. In this way, only, her poetry resembles that of Elizabeth Bishop. This tension underneath Van Duyn's "accessibility" makes the stated goals for poetry—compassion, empathy (thus moral; Horatian)—more tenuous and provisional and moving.
One of her finest poems, "Remedies, Maladies, Reasons," recollects the persona's relationship with her mother; the bond, defined by medical emergency, is chthonic and ecstatic:
… She "hawks up big gobs
of stuff" that is almost orange. All of her tubes
are blocked. Her face turned purple. Lettuce she ate
was "passed" whole, "green as grass" in the toilet.
She "came within an inch" of a "stoppage," but mineral oil
saved her from all but "a running-off of the bowel."
Sniffing her mucus or sweat or urine, she marvels
anew at how "rotten" or "rank" or "sour" it smells.
There's never been any other interesting news.
Homer of her own heroic course, she rows
through the long disease of living, and celebrates
the "blood-red" throat, the yellow pus that "squirts"
from a swelling, the taste, always "bitter as gall,"
that's "belched up," the bumps that get "sore as a boil,"
the gas that makes her "blow up tight as a drum,"
the "racing heart," the "new kind of bug," the "same
old sinus," the "god-awful cold"—all things that make
her "sick as a dog" or "just a nervous wreck."
The poem wrestles this battering, recreating it (fifty-eight rhymed couplets altogether), and then resolves the presence of this other maker. With humor (Freud's aggressive wit) and the accumulating energy of drama, the persona makes her way towards catharsis:
I still see the mother I wanted, that I called to come,
coming. From the dark she rushes to my bedroom,
switching the lamp on, armed with pills, oils, drops,
gargles, liniments, flannels, salves, syrups,
waterbag, icebag. Bending over me,
giant, ferocious, she drives my Enemy,
in steamy, hot-packed, camphorated nights,
from every sickening place where he hides and waits.
Do you think I don't know how love hallucinates?
No other poet has described so well the horror and adoration that a child feels for the parent's body. She continues this in "The Stream," an elegy for her mother, and in her epistolary novella-in-verse, "Letters from a Father." The daughter, then, like Van Duyn's appearance as a wife or friend, is a guise, a metaphor, a remedy she fingers, swallows, revealing to the reader not transcendence but empathy—that more difficult release from solitude.
And yet, compassion is not yet understood as a species of authority. The poet even doubts it. She doubles back; apologizes ("Women don't usually wrestle, except for a comic or grotesque effect"). She "eases" over her own authority, her own "slow, entranced emergence / of things out of the ashes of their usefulness." A poet of relationships will be of use, willing to strain and wrap her art for a "Christmas Present for a Poet," "To My Godson, On His Christening," and "Lines Written in a Guest Book."
A charm, a generosity diminishes when rooted from its source, its passion. But who notices, within the smoky institutes and professional fraternities? "The Insight Lady" will arrive, bringing wit they understand; she sips the warm hors d'oeuvres with men. She's in; a woman made it in, but only half—not the half that is
… a monstrous face;
as broad as his chest, as long as he is
from the top of his head to his heart. All her
feeling and fleshiness is there.
("The Pietà, Rhenish, 14th C., The Cloisters")
That is the part her critics call "bizarre." Send that half—domestic champagne; the hiss of it like bees; a time of bees. That's how women survive.

Yonas Michael ft. Brooker T - PUNKS
Artist: Yonas Michael
Producer: Klutch
Album: Lost in Hollywood
Avg Rating: 1.7 ( 9 votes )
To address the proverbial elephant in the room right off the bat, yes, this Yonas Michael is the same Y.0. that rocked so many U-N-I tracks, and yes, U-N-I has broken up, and no, it's not worth delving into why here. Instead, let's just focus on the fact that, whatever moniker is attached, good music is continuing to come our way from the man, good music like PUNKS. As you'd expect with a title like that, producer Klutch builds the foundation of PUNKS with some distinctly punk and indie rock scaffolding that's simultaneously aggressive and mellowed, inspiring Yonas and collaborator Booker T (no, not the MGs frontman or the wrestler) to follow the lead and deliver some distorted, unapologetically disaffected vocals that don't just cross genres, it annihilates them. So how about it DJBooth Nation, is this one inspiring you to go throw on that Sex Pistols album and break out the safety pins? Either way, with an introduction like this there's just no telling what Michael's upcoming album, Lost in Hollywood, will sound like when it drops October 31. Fans will just have to cop it via The DJBooth to find out.

Massacre case ruling 'benchmark' of PH justice, says Pangilinan
MANILA, Philippines — The resolution of the Maguindanao Massacre case will be a measure of how far the Philippines' justice system has progressed, Senator Francis Pangilinan said.
"The Maguindanao Massacre case will be the benchmark of how far our justice system has progressed from previous administrations, whether we like it or not. It is then extremely urgent that we exert all efforts to resolve this case as swiftly as possible," Pangilinan said in a statement Thursday.
"We must not allow this massacre be trivialized and buried in the annals of our history by the slow grind of our wheels of justice," he added.
Friday marks the third anniversary of the massacre in the Maguindanao province in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao where 58 people were killed, 32 of whom jouurnalists.
The victims were traveling in a convoy with supporters of then Maguindanao mayor Esmael Mangudadatu who were on their way to file his certificate of candidacy.
Armed men then stopped the convoy in a remote area, brought them out, gunned them down and buried in a mass grave using a backhoe.
The massacre is widely regarded as the worst incident of political violence in the country's history. Less than half of the 194 suspects remain at large. Members of the powerful Ampatuan clan were allegedly behind the massacre.
"That act was so brazen and so dastardly–it is horrifying to think that anyone is capable of doing this, and yet it happened," Pangilinan said.
"It isn't only the Ampatuans and their co-accused that are on trial here, but the entire system of justice. The failure to render a timely and just judgement is an indictment on the capacity of the nation to serve justice," he said.
Pangilinan also urged the Philippine National Police to step up security measures for the relatives of the victims who have been receiving death threats.

The former Indian captain was a monster on the badminton court at Bombay Gymkhana, says his one-time opponent Gulamabbas Vahanvati
When he co-owned the Mumbai franchise of the Indian Badminton League, very few knew his love for the sport and that he could actually give a trained shuttler a run for his money. Former India cricket captain Sunil Gavaskar was a God-gifted badminton player. One of his opponents during his days at the Bombay Gymkhana, Gulamabbas Vahanvati, says how the legend created music on court.
His partner was the late Gautam Thakkar, a former Asian junior champion.
"It was always fun with him. You know the best part? He never used to work out but was always fit. He used to come here and play the game as if he has been at it for the last 50 years and he moved damn well on the court," says Vahanvati, who was the president of the club from 2004-2007.
Vahanvati teamed up with Dr. Ajit Pai against Gavaskar and Thakkar and they went on to play for more than 17 years together.
"Top badminton players came here to play. I have seen Erland Kops to Prakash Padukone and Gavaskar's enthusiasm was no less than theirs. I was stunned seeing his retrieving powers. He played all those jump smashes like a professional shuttler," says Vahanvati.
The 63-year-old remembered days when they used to walk in at quarter to three and play till 4 pm on a regular basis from Monday to Friday.
"People in Bombay Gymkhana used to time us. The word spread and we became popular. People came to watch us," he adds.
But didn't Gavaskar get mobbed? "He had already made it big, that's true but once he became a member here. He became friendly with people. He even played with the court markers, so humble a person he was," says Vahanvati.
One of those markers, Rajesh Jadhav, recalled his first interaction with Gavaskar.
"I became a marker because I wanted a job but I didn't know I would get to play with a legend like Gavaskar Sir. We used to get time to play games. Abhi toh filhaal khelna hai hota hai Thakkar saab jaane ke baad (now we don't play much after Thakkar's demise)," says Jadhav, who sulked at not being given permission to play in the main open during his time.
"Sir used to keep the mood friendly and jovial, as we all were old friends. His strong point was that you could never read his shots. It was difficult to interpret whether he would drop or smash. His was a deceptive game," adds Jadhav.

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries, India's largest drugmaker by market value, said it is in the process of acquiring Ranbaxy Lab from Japan's Daiichi Sankyo, and is open for more acquisitions.
"Till the time we are able to integrate Ranbaxy efficiently, we will be cognizant to our ability to manage. But we will continuously look at acquisition to manage..if we can manage those acquisitions, then they will be helpful to our future growth," said Dilip Shanghvi, MD, Sun Pharma.
In April, Sun Pharma had announced that it would acquire Ranbaxy Laboratories from Japan's Daiichi Sankyo in an all stock-deal at an enterprise value of $4 billion. "This acquisition requires approvals from multiple regulatory agencies and the respective shareholders of both the companies. Till date, clearances have been obtained from the stock exchanges in India and from anti-competition authorities in all applicable markets excluding India and the US," the company said in a statement.
The company had earlier said it will realign Ranbaxy's sales division and would aim to boost efficiencies in key markets, including India and the US, to deliver $250 million of operational synergies by the third year.
During the earnings call, Shanghvi said, "Post announcement of the transaction, we have not done any additional diligence. We should be able to achieve $250 million, both in terms of revenue growth and cost rationalisation. Ranbaxy continues to run by its current management. However, we have initiated an internal planning process to protect its current business and members of both Ranbaxy and Sun Pharma are working together to develop the business going forward."
The company is also trying to convince Competition Commission of India (CCI), and is constantly having dialogue with the regulator on the issue that suggests the deal will have a monopolising effect on the market and also affect the patient interest.
The company reported a net profit of Rs 1,391 crore during the June quarter this year compared to a net loss of Rs 1,276 crore in the corresponding period last year. Shares of Sun Pharmaceutical, thereafter, moved upward of 2.52% during intra-day trade and touched a new high on the BSE at Rs 803. 70, before closing at Rs 800.25 apiece, up 2.09% the previous close.
Net sales from operations during the quarter this year grew 13% over the same quarter last year at Rs 3,927 crore. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (ebitda) grew 13% at Rs 1,724 crore. The Ebitda margin remained same that of the first quarter of the last fiscal at 44%.
Sale of branded prescription formulations in India was Rs 992 crore, up by 17% from the first quarter last year. Seven products were launched in the Indian market during the quarter.
The US business, which accounted for 58% of total sales, increased 7% during the quarter at $389 million. Sun's Israeli subsidiary Taro Pharmaceutical Industries has recently posted a drop of 15% in its June quarter sales this year over the same period last year at $130 million. Taro's net profit for the first quarter was $46 million, a decline of 22% over the first quarter last year. The decline in sales and profits is mainly due to the price protection charge taken by Taro during the quarter.
Formulation sales in international markets excluding US accounted for $82 million during the quarter, registering a growth of 2% (in dollar terms). Excluding ex-US Taro sales, underlying sales growth in dollar terms for Sun Pharma business in these markets was 4% for the period under review.
Shanghvi said, "Our first quarter performance was in-line with our expectations. While we are intensively planning for the integration with Ranbaxy, we remain focused on strengthening our existing businesses and developing a differentiated and specialty driven product basket."
The company also informed stock exchanges that its board of directors at a meeting held on August 12, has appointed Uday Baldota as the chief financial officer (CFO) of the company, as per section 203 of the Companies Act, 2013, with immediate effect. Baldota has earlier designated as senior vice president (accounts and finance).

Mohave County, Arizona
Mohave County is one of 15 counties in Arizona. It is located in the northeastern part of the state, and its county seat is Kingman.
As of 2007, its population was estimated to be 194,944, an increase of 39,912 people since the 2000 census count of 155,032.
Mohave County was the one of four original Arizona Counties created by the 1st Arizona Territorial Legislature. The county territory was originally defined as being west of latitude 113° 20' and north of the Bill Williams River. Pah-Ute County was created from it in 1865 and was merged back into Mohave County in 1871 when much of its territory was ceded to Nevada in 1866. The county's present boundaries were established in 1881.

Elected Officials
Mohave County is governed by a three-member Board of Supervisors. The Board appoints a county manager in charge of day to day operations. The next election is in 2012. Arizona lawmakers are discussing taking some budget control away from Supervisors and providing other elected officials with more control over their own expenditures[12].

Mohave County has several taxing authorities operating within its borders. While the county treasurer collects all taxes, it then distributes the funds to each taxing district. Each taxing district (school districts, fire departments, cities, etc) sets its own tax rates.
County Supervisors have met with three congressmen to request funding for the Mohave County workforce program[13]. The Mohave County public works department has requested funds for building new offices as an alternative to the previously recommended "paint and polish"[14].

Horfe has been busy....Graffiti // Wednesday, October 10, 2012
To no surprise, Horfe has been busy, busy, busy, inside and outside. Here is an update of some recent work he just posted.
Trackside HorfeGraffiti // Friday, October 05, 2012
Another day, another Horfe. This being an older one, but so so good.
I'm Seeing Red....Graffiti // Thursday, October 04, 2012
There has been a lot of red in Horfe's newer street work, a very menacing red. Here are two new spots, one with Wanda.
Horfe Roofin..Graffiti // Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Although from this angle we cannot see this Horfe roof in its entirety, it still hits and is seriously bizarre.
Tomek & HorfeGraffiti // Wednesday, September 19, 2012
These two do yellow in style. Two writers from Paris we are always excited to see new stuff from.
Horfe in San FranciscoGraffiti // Monday, September 03, 2012
San Francisco is in for a treat. The Parisian graffiti writer, Horfe, has made his way to the West Coast and will surely capture the attention of locals painting murals like this. Can't wait to see what else will pop up.
The Battle WithinGraffiti // Tuesday, August 21, 2012
This new Horfe piece is having a battle with itself, I think it is all the letters against the "E."
2 New Horfe PiecesGraffiti // Monday, August 13, 2012
Another week and unsurprising to us, Horfe's been painting new pieces.The first piece involves pottery-looking shapes, with hoses and all those organic elements we are accustomed to seeing him use. The other piece rests on floating land with snakes and other unidentifiable creatures hanging out. We have said it before but Horfe really is making some of the most unique work in graffiti right now.
Around the WorldGraffiti // Wednesday, August 08, 2012
Horfe's work is constantly evolving, morphing and oozing with style. A new wave of imitators has been emerging, attempting to replicate and failing. This new piece is accompanied with a great multi-armed squid looking character wrapping itself around the world.
HORFE All Over in Vardo, NorwayJuxtapoz // Wednesday, July 25, 2012
We stumbled on these photos of a few of the walls Horfe has been working on in Vardø, Norway. From what we see here, it looks like Horfe went the extra mile, with multiple highly detailed murals. Not the best or most detailed photos, however it give you an idea of the amount of work he has been creating there. Better photos real sooooon.

From the Publisher"This book is unique in the literature of New World archeology...its publication will mark a real increase in intellectual acuity, properly conceived research programs, and effectively executed excavation...The intellectual rigor with which Flannery approaches his subject is hard to match. Even more remarkable is the degree to which the book is a work of literature." —Donald W. Lathrap, SCIENCE
Every once in a while a book comes along in New World archaeology that marks a watershed in the discipline. Walter Taylor's 1948 A Study in Archaeology was one. This is another. -Michael Coe, American Anthropologist
It is at least three treats in one package: (1) a significant contribution to one of the least understood topics of Mesoamerican archaeology—the Formative or Preclassic village, (2) an excellent exposition and application of various archaeological analytic methods, and (3) a whale of a lot of fun to read. -Robert Wauchope, American Antiquity

Most artist can remember when they first started singing however, Sheila Nychole can't remember a time she wasn't. Classically trained, she began her pursuit by joining the Washington Performing Arts Society. There she improved both as a singer and an actress.
Sheila Nychole's soulful and explosive tone continues to prove that good things can come in small packages. She pulls strength from greats like Nancy Wilson and reminds of contemporaries like Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Lauryn Hill. Sheila has performed at several venues with in the MD, DC, and VA area. Such as Busboys & Poets, Induji, Pashion Lounge,Ben's Next Door and The Velvet Lounge just to name a few. She has also sang for songwriter/ producer Bryan Michael Cox; which later stated " There is no doubt that I'll be seeing you again!"

High Level Group on the Competitiveness of the European Chemicals Industry
Industrial competitiveness is of central importance for the Commission. Part of the Commission efforts to support the competitiveness of the chemicals industry was the set-up of a High Level Group (HLG) on the Competitiveness of the European Chemicals Industry in the European Union in 2007.
In 2009, the HLG issued 39 recommendations to support the competitiveness of the European chemicals industries, addressed to a wide range of actors, including the European Commission, Member States, Chemicals Regions and industry. In its Europe 2020 Flagship Initiative "An Integrated Industrial Policy for the Globalisation Era", the Commission underlined the potential contribution of the chemicals industry to providing solutions to critical societal challenges and the importance of further following up the High Level Group on the competitiveness of the chemicals industry.
In 2011, the Commission issued a report on the implementation of the HLG recommendations [245 KB] which gives an overview of actions undertaken by all relevant stakeholders.
In 2012, on request of the European Chemical Regions Network, the Commission launched a study''Analysis of policies in chemical regions to support the competitiveness of the chemicals industry'', with the key objective to provide information that would assist public authorities in designing strategies, policies and programmes to support and strengthen the international competitiveness of the European Chemicals Industry.
The overall purpose of this High Level Group (HLG) was to conduct a sound economic and statistical analysis of the factors determining the rapid structural change in the chemicals sector, and the competitive position of the European chemicals industry. Based on this analysis the High Level Group formulated a set of sector-specific policy recommendations that can be put into action by the Community, Member States, or by industry itself, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the European chemicals industry in accordance with the principles of sustainable development.
The Group members [57 KB] were Commissioners, representatives of the chemicals industry and its downstream users, trade unions, academia, environmental NGO's and consumer organisations. They benefited of the contribution of experts organised in thematic working groups whose main role was to bring robust factual knowledge to feed the High Level Group discussion.
All official documents of the High Level Group are made available on this site, together with the preparation work of the thematic Working Groups (WG).
- Final Report [2 MB]
- Work programme [24 KB]
- Thoughtstarter [369 KB]
- Research, Innovation and Human Resources: Conclusions and Recommendations [38 KB]
- Energy, Feedstock, Infrastructure and Logistics: conclusions of the discussions [102 KB]
As requested by the Council, the Commission prepared in 2010 a Report on the implementation of the HLG recommendation which was presented and discussed in a conference in Brussels on February 10, 2011.

On the Joys of Browsing: Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable
By Ron Fritze
These days, people tend to go on the internet to get answers to their questions. I know that I do. That said, I still have and use a big collection of reference books. One reason is that a standard reference book will be more reliable than some of the internet sites (although I think Wikipedia is generally quite reliable). Another reason is that for some purposes, a reference book can be just as easy to use, or even easier than an online source. That is certainly the case for dictionaries. But there is another reason for checking out many ink and paper works of reference—they are fun to browse. Well, maybe not for everyone, but they are fun for me and I am not alone.
Start Here, Start Now!

"Your Graduation Action Plan"
Too many students wait until the last semester of their senior year to start their job search. They are putting themselves at a disadvantage in our current frail job market.
Before or during their junior year students should create a professional online presence. They should begin by making contacts and working to build a resume with work experience. These steps will increase their chances of gaining employment upon graduation. Starting early provides the opportunity to get a clear idea of the kind of work they want to do and the work environment where they want to use their skills, interests, and education.
A University Tradition – A Family Tradition
By Tena Bullington
Please note that this blog article preludes the Founders Queen and Court ceremony on October 22 at 6:00pm in the Parlor of Founders Hall.
Founders Queen and Court is an historic event that has taken place at Athens State University for over fifty years. These honors have been bestowed upon women exemplifying Athens State's mission and as those chosen are voted upon by their student peers it is truly an honor.
Inhabiting Territories of [Post]Colonial Space
By Kevin Dupre
Please note that this blog article preludes an appearance by Robert Antoni at Athens State University on November 12 and a book discussion of Antoni's latest book As Flies to Whatless Boys on October 21.
As Flies to Whatless Boys takes readers on a journey into the Caribbean that few in the United States might ever make. Cruise-line passengers and honeymooners may, on occasion, dip their toes in the warm waters off the coast of Trinidad and Tobago, although still fewer of those explore the space, vicariously or via the history of those exoticized islands so near our shores. Further, a passing look at the history of the Caribbean might prompt limited questions about what [presumably European] languages are spoken there. These would get one no closer to what it might be like to migrate or live in the West Indies. But following Willy, the main character, who journeys there with his family from England, in part on a quest to either to lead or follow his first love Marguerite. The novel takes readers deep into the bowels of the ship on the passage across the Atlantic and deeper still into the island's colonial culture.
Tools of the Trade: Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus
By Ron Fritze
In this blog, I want to share with you what has become my favorite tool for putting some variety and spice into my writing. Check out the Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus (2004) or OAWT for short. It is a great alternative to Roget's Thesaurus because it is easier to use and works just as well if not a bit better. It is organized in a dictionary style and provides many synonyms listed in logical order. When appropriate, distinctions are made between formal and informal usages. Some entries also provide a few suggestions for antonyms. Examples of sentences that demonstrate usage of a word are also provided. Take the word "bad." The OAWT gives twelve different general ways that "bad" can be used. Well over 150 synonyms and antonyms for "bad" are supplied. So if you mean "bad" in the sense of "the bad guys", it gives alternatives like "corrupt," "reprobate," or "crooked" among others. If you mean "bad" in the sense of a "bad child," it suggests "naughty," "wayward," or "undisciplined" among others. Remember, there are often subtle differences in meaning and connotation between some of the alternative suggestions. They are not necessarily inter-changeable parts. Keep your dictionary handy so that you can pick out the word that works best for your situation.
The Elementary Reasons Why a University President Should Strive to Be Like Sherlock Holmes:
By Bob Glenn
Ever since I first read the Adventure of the Red Headed League in my eighth grade literature book I have been a serious fan of Sherlock Holmes. During college I read and reread the fifty-six short stories and four short novels that comprise The Canon. After college I became acquainted with the The Baker Street Irregulars, that society of Sherlockian enthusiasts formed in the late 1940's by author Christopher Morley that now boasts over 300 chapters in the United States as well as chapters across the world. My wife, Laurie, and I have had the good fortune to be a part of two such groups over the years. Recently while reading a marvelous little book called Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes, by Maria Konnikova, it occurred to me that many of the things I strive to do as President of Athens State University are very similar to the traits and habits of the famed detective. So, with apologies to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dr. John H. Watson, I will in the next few Athens State Blog posts attempt to list all those reasons why a university president should strive to be like my favorite detective.
Greek Tragedy in Athens, AL: Euripides' Trojan Women
By Travis Sharp
Everyone knows the stories of the Trojan War: Paris (in many minds seen as Orlando Bloom) and his fateful trip to Sparta; Helen of Troy, the face that launched a thousand ships; the deaths of Achilles and Hector; the Trojan horse being brought into the impregnable city; the destruction of Troy and those within its walls. A (very) rough interpretation of this ancient Greek lore was presented in the 2004 film Troy. But in all of the retellings, there is something missing—where are the women of Troy, the survivors not killed by the invading Greeks? We know that King Priam was murdered, but what of Queen Hecuba? What of Andromache, Hector's wife? What fate took Helen of Troy? What destruction fell upon the cursed Cassandra? These are the stories which ancient Greek playwright Euripides explored in Trojan Women, a play which, according to translator Dr. Francis Blessington, "explores, with rare depth, human suffering."
Do We Have a Club That Fits Your Personality?
By Tena Bullington
At Athens State University, we have many student clubs looking for new members and new ideas. Perhaps you are a closet artist who wants to learn more and participate but do not want to take classes – we have an Art Club for that. Or maybe you are a teacher-in-training and want to visit and learn from other teachers-in-training – there's the Athens State University Teacher Ambassadors. Maybe you want to participate in things like cookouts and other student-led activities that create a collegiate atmosphere – then maybe the Student Government Association is the club for you.
Tools of the Trade: The Roget's Thesaurus, Old School
By Ron Fritze
"The difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter—it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Mark Twain
When it comes to advice on writing well, Mark Twain is someone to be heeded. One of the problems that any writer continually faces is maintaining the variety of their word usage. If you are not careful, you can end up using the same word over and over again. To your reader that practice comes across as dull and boring and may cause them rightly to question the extent of your vocabulary. So how do you get some life in your vocabulary and get from the "lightning bug" word to the "lightning" word? Answer, the thesaurus, a word book of synonyms and related concepts.
5 Tips for Pursuing a (Graduate) Degree
By Tony Ricks
(The following is adapted by the author from an original blog post he wrote on April 21, 2013 and published at www.therhetor.com)
Thinking about taking "the next step" after your bachelor's degree? Or just after high school?
Recently, I offered advice to a college student at Athens State on the pros and cons of grad school. I hold a Master's from Boise State and a Doctorate from Florida State. (Combining mascots, this makes me a Seminole on a Bronco). My particular area of expertise is in Rhetoric & Composition. Today, I regularly work with college writers at Athens State.

Tyan s2885 and AGP graphics
This doesn't really concern nVidia products specifically, but since there are a few people around here with this board I thought this question might be appropriate anyway.
I recently noticed something really weird on a Tyan board I've been using for non-graphical tasks--When I lspci, the AMD 8151 does not show up with normal BIOS (Shows up with LinuxBIOS, though). The AMD 8151 is the AGP tunneling device.
I can install the nVidia drivers, I can start X, but I'm not exactly sure why this is all possible when the AGP tunnel is invisible.
Can any other S2885 user out there do an "lspci" and tell me if you see the AMD 8151?
I did it and I see AMD8151. SuSe 9.0 x86_64 2.4.21-171-smp.

Rep Power:
most seaworthy
I've got the same search, though with less money, and happily taking a few feet off. But here is a short list. Would anyone have a stab at ranking the list -- purely in relation to seaworthiness. So capsize resistance, higher AVS, robust build, seakindly shape. All the rest, the space, the looks, the tankage, etc etc, is essentially malleable. Pure seaworthiness is what I want to focus on at outset. You'll see I've left off Tayana 37, Ingrid 38, HansChristian, etc because I just think they are too heavy, too tank-like, and I want a boat that's strong, but lighter than those. A boat that could sail out of trouble, not just plough through it. Here goes (in no particular order):
Wauquiez Pretorien 35
Bayfield 36
Morgan 382
Southern Cross 39
Sabre 38
Bristol 40
Spencer 35/42
Valiant 37
Valiant 40
Shannon 38
Rafiki 37 (the only 'Tayana' type, but actually lighter than Tayanas and, I understand, better sailers).

Do foreign languages pose a threat to national security? Are public displays of Arabic writing overt expressions of support for Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden? Can this happen in New York City, where hundreds of different languages are constantly spoken and displayed in public places?
Stephanie Schwartz, a student at Hunter College, was stopped October 9 while riding on the Staten Island ferry by a security guard wearing a Department of Transportation uniform. The guard had taken exception to her shirt, a black T-shirt with the slogan "We will not be silent" written in English and Arabic. Schwartz claims the guard told her that she'd "better not wear that shirt here anymore" and that it wasn't appropriate for "high security places."
Schwartz was wearing the same shirt as Raed Jarrar, an architect of Iraqi descent who was compelled to cover up his shirt before boarding a JetBlue flight on August 12. Other passengers had "complained about his shirt" to airline officials.
Schwartz and the Coast Guard differ on exactly what happened on the October 9 ferry boat incident. She claims that after the initial incident with the security guard she was surrounded by a patrol of four Coast Guard petty officers whom she had seen speak to the security guard earlier. Chief Petty Officer Tom Sperduto, a Coast Guard spokesman in New York, maintains that Schwartz was sitting close to the engine room door, one of the posts where officers routinely station themselves during their ferry patrol.
Sperduto confirmed that the security guard voiced concern to the Coast Guard officers about Schwartz's attire but were apparently unaware that the guard had questioned Schwartz's right to wear a shirt with English- Arabic lettering. They told the security guard "she has the right to wear whatever shirt she wants," Sperduto said.
But the incident didn't end there. On October 23, about 100 people, including members of the Movement for a Democratic Society, the International Socialist Organization, the Granny Peace Brigade and other activist groups gathered in lower Manhattan on October 23 decided to join Schwartz for a second ride on the Staten Island ferry with Schwartz. Many were wearing the controversial shirt.
After boarding the ferry, the mingled with the late-afternoon commuter crowd and chatted with other passengers curious about their shirts. Though notices for security to report to the passenger deck were issued over the PA system, the ride to Staten Island was peaceful. No one was confronted about their garments.
The demonstrators voiced indignation amongst themselves and to other passengers at Schwartz's treatment and what they perceived as the overbearing actions of the ferry security and the Department of Homeland Security (of which the Coast Guard is now a part). "Our First Amendment rights are under attack--it's crazy, you can't express your dissent, your opinion," said Diana Seiffert.
"The ferry is a high-security area, but protecting our ports and waterways has nothing to do with a T-shirt," Schwartz said. "No one could explain to me why a shirt with Arabic on it is a threat," she said.
The shirt, which Schwartz first saw at a Washington, DC, protest against Israel's war in Lebanon, is "a great way to speak out against the anti-Arab, anti-Muslim sentiment that's been running rampant since 9/11." Citing the climate of fear and intimidation in New York's Muslim communities like Midwood and Bay Ridge, she described her experience as benign compared to Raed Jarrar's. "The fact that I'm white and Jarar is Arab had a lot to do with their different reactions," she said.
By the time the ferry docked at the St. George Terminal on Staten Island's north shore, the sun was down. Despite falling temperatures, another group of protesters wearing the same T-shirts met the crowd stepping into the waiting area for the ride back. "I thought I would show the ladies [the Grannies, presumably] that Staten Island isn't as weird as everyone says it is," quipped David Jones, who described himself as a Native American of Ramapo descent. "I was surprised that Stephanie had gotten hassled for wearing a T-shirt. The Coast Guard only ride the ferry during moments when Bush thinks that it's necessary to up the ante," he said.
Laurie Arbeiter, Susan Kingsland and Caroline Parker, of The Critical Voice artists' group that designed the "We will not be silent" shirt, were also present, distributing versions of their creation in Spanish, Farsi and German along with Arabic and the original English. The slogan was first displayed at a protest on March 20, the third anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
"We needed something to get the message out, and the White Rose's mantra was it," said Caroline Parker, referring to members of the student resistance group in Nazi Germany.
The experiences of Schwartz and Jarrar "criminalize a people and demonize a language," Arbeiter observed. "What they're trying to do is create fear."
Touching on a primary theme of the protest, Susan Kingsland observed the parallels between anti-Arab and anti-Latino xenophobia: "We did the Spanish translation because the groups most affected by detention and deportation were Spanish speakers and Arabic speakers." There was also a consensus that Muslims encounter high levels of scrutiny and discrimination these days. "I think that Middle Easterners are put under the lens, but we had seen this happen in America before. Japanese-Americans were interned during World War II, to the shame of this country," said Ahmed Shirazi, an Iranian who immigrated to the US in 1963.
The jaunt back to Manhattan took place without incident, though a pair of Coast Guard boats did pull up alongside the ferry in the middle of the harbor. Kingsland expressed her gratitude to those who had participated in the ride: "It's hard to fight this struggle alone, but the turnout in support of Stephanie is inspiring. It's unfortunate, but these circumstances are bringing people together."
As the riders disembarked in Manhattan, a safety official watching the crowd file off the ferry smilingly asked Parker for a shirt. She obliged.

Cheryl Burke is recovering after injuring her leg on Monday night's "Dancing with the Stars."
"It's still bothering her, but I think the fact [that] we had a day off, [Tuesday] was good," Chris Jericho, Cheryl's celebrity partner on Season 12 of "Dancing" told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson on Tuesday night after the show.
The "Dancing" beauty had to be treated following Monday night's competition show after hurting her leg, but the pair is already moving on.
"She's tough, she's a dancer and it happens," Chris said of Cheryl's injury. "But she did hit the floor hard, I know exactly when it happened and I was like, 'Ooh!' in the back of my mind."
Now though, the wrestling star said his partner is already working on new moves for next week's dance.
"She wants to go start choreographing, she gets very angsty at this point in time," Chris noted.
Chris and Cheryl will tackle the Viennese waltz on next week's show, with a twist.
"All the songs have a patriotic vibe to it," he said. "I'm excited… I've never done the Viennese waltz, I saw a bunch of people do different interpretations this week; I heard Len [Goodman] yell at Mark [Ballas] because this dance is 300 years old and you're flopping around like a fish.
"I don't know which Cheryl has in mind but I'm looking forward to it and I'm excited to continue the ball rolling and do better next week than I did this week, that's all I can ask for," he added.

Egypt TV criticized for suspending popular satire
FILE - In this Sunday, March 31, 2013 file photo, Egyptian television satirist Bassem Youssef, known as Egypt's Jon Stewart, waves to his supporters as he enters Egypt's state prosecutors office to face charges for allegedly insulting Islam and the country's leader, in Cairo, Egypt.

CAIRO (AP) — A private Egyptian TV station came under fire from public figures and fans of a widely popular satirist Saturday after it blocked the airing of his weekly show critical of the military and the country's recent nationalist fervor.
Minutes before the program of Bassem Youssef, often compared to U.S. comedian Jon Stewart, was to air Friday, broadcaster CBC said it was suspending it because the satirist and his producer violated editorial policy.
The channel's decision appeared to be a reaction to the sharp criticism Youssef came under by supporters of the army after his first episode following a four-month hiatus.
The station's CEO said management had warned the satirist, asking him to take into consideration the angry response from the public after his first episode.

A prominent Egyptian statesman criticized Saturday a local TV station for stopping the airing of a widely popular satire show by Youssef, describing the decision as unwise and harmful to the country. The Arabic on the poster reads, "Revolution continues, top," "We will continue." (AP Photo/Manu Brabo)
Mohammed el-Amin told the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya website that Youssef ignored the warning and violated the "journalist code of ethics," forcing them to suspend the show. El-Amin said the show has not been cancelled.
The program's production company denied the claim, saying the episode included nothing that violated its professional and legal guidelines.
Amr Moussa, a former presidential candidate who currently chairs a panel tasked with amending Egypt's constitution, urged CBC to reconsider a decision he said raised concerns over freedom of expression.
"Suspending Bassem Youssef's program is an unwise decision that stirred resentment and concern by many about freedoms," Moussa said in a statement emailed to reporters. "I urge CBC to reconsider its decision that hurt Egypt, like it hurt the station management."

"BuickMackane's Gloucester, MA Page (I lived here!)" Top 5 Page for this destination Gloucester by BuickMackane
Gloucester Travel Guide: 144 reviews and 486 photos
I am employed in the tourism industry in Gloucester, Massachusetts. I lived here between 1994-2003, when I relocated to Louisiana, and moved back again after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.
I am very pleased to have another opportunity to enjoy all the things I missed when I was living down South. There's nothing like watching the full moon over the ocean while standing on the Back Shore in East Gloucester. And I'll gladly trade crawfish for lobster anyday!
No visit to New England is complete without visiting the Cape Ann region of Massachusetts -- come see for yourself!
- Pros:Dramatic oceanfront scenery
- Cons:Obscenely high cost of housing
- In a nutshell:Come visit before too many people discover it!

Nice tips!
The Willow Rest is really making progress! They now have beer, wine, cakes, and delicious meals to-go. Stop by and taste what's cookin'!
I love this city and your pictures are great! When I was in college I used to go to the St. Peter festival here every year with my friend from Sicily. Even now I feel that it is the one of the only "real" communities left on the north shore.
Whale watching should be great fun...Marvellous creatures in the sea...is it not.Also Fiesta should be great..is it not?Great coverage and nice tips and phtographs.
Gloucester is one of my favorite destinations...just after the tourists leave in Sept. Usually stay in Rockport...but easy to cover Gloucester, Essex, Marblehead....love it
Great page. I'm originally from Lowell, MA, & I have spent many summers at Good Harbor Beach.
a pleasant glimpse, who knows, one day i'll..... ;-)))
Very nice page-good info and nice photos
Sounds a wonderful place to live, no wonder you stayed there!

In an interview at his office, Mambo-o, who is indigenous people's representative to the City Council, said he only reacted because he wasn't properly informed by the organizers of Ms. Gay Universe during the planning stage of the pageant.
To recall, Mambo-o opposed the holding of the Ms. Gay pageant during the Kadayawan season, saying the activity is a form of disrespect to the customs and traditions of the lumads.
Mambo-o, however, said he will not refuse any invitation from the event organizers.
"Parti man pud na sa trabaho nato as public official, gusto lang pud ko personally na maka balo kung unsa na ang ilang pageant ug kung wala bay mga paglapas na mahitabo (I will attend since that is part of my job as a public official, and to see for myself about the pageant as well as to determine if there will be violations committed)," Mambo-o said.
Based on his perception, Mambo-o said holding such activity, during Kadayawan, which is a solemn and important event for the lumads, might be offensive to the indigenous people communities in the city.
But Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio already said the event will push through Friday despite the councilman's opposition.
Meanwhile, Diding Lopez, head organizer of Ms. Gay Universe Pageant, told Sun.Star Davao on Wednesday that Mambo-o is very much welcome to attend the pageant at the Davao City Recreational Center at 6 p.m.
"Basta kay Mambo-o, pangitaon lang ko niya didto, nay seat para sa iyaha (For Mambo-o, he just have to look for me and a seat is reserved for him)," Lopez said.
