Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World
By John DeSando, WCBE's "It's Movie Time"
"It has been wisely said that we cannot really love anybody at whom we never laugh." Agnes Repplier, "Americans and Others"
With a title such as "Looking for Comedy in the Muslim World," and a star such as the sometimes edgy Albert Brooks, it's hard to believe that comedy cannot be found in the movie itself. Although actor Brooks's dry, deadpan delivery has worked in the past, as in My First Mister (a personal favorite of mine), without a daring script, he just makes the film seem longer than it is.
Good lines allow a performer to pause while the audience savors them; weak lines cry out to move on as quickly as possible. When one character shouts he was the best comic at explosive camp, I was delighted at the MEL Brooks-like abandon but also aware that moments like this do not appear in the rest of the film.
Albert Brooks has been hired by the federal government to seek out the source of laughs in Muslim India and Pakistan. Right away I was suspicious because Muslims are a minority in India, albeit a 150 million minority. Was Brooks not dealing directly with the issues? It appears so since his insights into Muslim culture, as promised in the title, are nonexistent, and his connection to the culture superficial.
When Brooks performs a standup routine in New Delhi, the audience barely laughs, even at the silly but sometimes funny ventriloquist bit. When he performs the same routines for Pakistani men around a campfire, they laugh at everything--Brooks is elated. The rest of us know they're stoned enough to laugh at anything. Additionally Brooks's research turns up the insight that "shit jokes don't play in New Delhi." The companion discovery that "Polish jokes work everywhere" emphasizes the limited nature of his roles as a comedian and an ambassador.
But we do gain from his visit to Al-Jazeera, the Arab TV news channel. That they offer him a sitcom, "That Darn Jew," depicting an American Jew moving into a Muslim neighborhood, is a hint at what controversial material awaited Mr. Brooks and his producers if they just dared. Ultimately, no laughter or success in this tepid effort.
John DeSando teaches film at Franklin University and co-hosts WCBE 90.5's "It's Movie Time," which can be heard streaming at www.wcbe.org Fridays at 3:01 pm and 8:01 pm and on demand anytime. Contact him at email@example.com

Parents of ADHD Children
First day of school and already struggling
Hi, my six year old had his first day of first grade today and it was already a disaster (although gym and recess were great). He said they had too much work so he just didn't do it. He needed a break. The good news is that he didn't cry, have a tantrum, hide or really disrupt the class. He just refused to do anything. Last year, he would have been incredibly disruptive. I warned the teacher he needs things broken down into steps and that he shuts down immediately as soon as something feels hard. The funny part is that he is incredibly bright and once he starts an assignment, they are usually too easy. Anyways, she just let him sit on the rug and not work. I understand it's the first day and she's just getting to know him, but he's already said he doesn't have to do all of the work. Any ideas? I'm so sad the year is starting out like this.

Arcade Fire: Neon Bible
Arcade Fire's Neon Bible album artwork stood out to me as a harc back to the Americana/Bible Belt days, which is weird as the band is Canadian.
If you're lucky enough to get the deluxe edition you get the lenticular box set and mini flip books and poster. See below.
The beauty of having an animated cover is that it translates well to the web, the Neon Bible website is quite nice, and also live gigs.
Also don't miss the amazing and original interactive video for the title track Neon Bible.
Don't get mixed up and buy the 1995 Neon Bible movie. Or you'll be sadly disappointed in the same way as you will be with Darren Hayes' Neon Bird.

UWRF Students Take First Place at Software Design Competition
March 8, 2010-- Sometimes, the prospect of winning $100 can result in remarkable, award-winning software engineering.
Four teams participated in the event, one each from UWRF and the University of North Dakota, and two from the University of Minnesota.
Kahn, McKay, and Rickard first heard about the opportunity from UWRF Professor Anthony Varghese of the computer science and information department, and the three relayed the information to the UWRF ACM chapter.
Varghese says he believes the competition is a great way for students to meet professionals in the computer science field and to practice software development engineering.
"The students also got to see where they stood when compared to students from other universities," Varghese says.
As part of the competition, Kahn, McKay, and Rickard had one week to create and engineer a software program for local industries Lockheed Martin and Thomson Reuters. Each team was given a scenario to design an in-store navigational shopping program.
Competitor's designs had to account for size, ease of use, shopper experiences, and creativity of technical approach. The teams were judged during three, 15-minute presentations of their design. As Kahn found out, judging can be the most terrifying part of any contest.
"It was incredibly nerve-wracking presenting our solution to the judges," notes McKay, adding, "I was most nervous about presenting. We were giving our ideas to Lockheed Martin and Thomson Reuters, two massive companies."
The team also faced a few technical hurdles as well. According to McKay, one of the biggest challenges was not being given a computer to present with.
"I have learned to always have backup plans," says McKay.
Despite the difficult nature of the contest, the UWRF team came out on top, each student winning $100 in prize money.
While the world can currently only rely on navigation systems for a visit to Grandma's house, a jaunt to a friend's cabin, or a road trip to California, thanks to three UWRF students, consumers may soon be able to use it to make their trip to the grocery store faster, easier, and more technologically-savvy.

Despite new provisions aimed at quelling fears it will create a flood of litigation, attorneys said the latest version of a bill to extend intellectual property protection to fashion designs, advanced by a Senate panel Thursday, still faces long odds of being enacted.
The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to approve the Innovative Design Protection Act, S.3523, which would provide a limited three-year protection for clothing, handbag and eyewear designs. The designs usually cannot be protected under existing intellectual property law.

Hi there, I just received notice in the mail that I have one week to select a first and second choice Medicaid health plan. My choices are Aetna, Cook Children's, and Amerigroup. I already know that Aetna is my first choice, but I'm not sure what to put down as my second choice. (Does it even matter? What are the odds that I won't get my first choice?)
My SO is leaning towards Amerigroup. Has anyone had experience with either them or Cook Children's? Any opinions or advice?

SmartWatch assessment
Having done the research beforehand I'm very happy with the SW2. Firstly Expansys delivered it next day so I was able to put it on charge that evening and then took it away on business for a couple of days. It does exactly what I want with the phone tucked away deep in a pocket or on a belt clip where I've often missed calls before. It vibrates when either a call or text comes in and shows me the details. I can answer the phone via the bluetooth headset. It plays the track on the currently selected playlist and allows me to advance or replay the tracks. I'm testing Google Nav directions and although there are some teething problems it's possible that they're phone rather than SW2 related. Overall, it's very good at what it does and this is what I wanted!

Sony SmartWatch 2 SW2
So far I've been unable to wear it due to the strap being too small (extra links unavailable!), ordered the leather option from sony and again too small, seems to be a common complaint if googled. Easy enough to pair and install apps, sure I'll love it when I find a strap to fit.

This article overstates Iran's capabilities.
Submitted by the clover helix on Sun, 02/03/2013 - 02:46. Permalink
The plane is basically a modified F-5 fighter with some anti-radar features. It's pretty much a light fighter with some ground attack ability and the technology for this type of plane was obsolete in the early-1970's.
The real message is that Iran can arm itself on its own without foreign weapons but I doubt the U.S. Air Force is very concerned.

Thank goodness for the Internet. Without it, I would have no idea how to help my kids set up leprechaun traps for St. Patrick's Day or make bird feeders out of recycled plastic bottles for Earth Day.
My kids absolutely LOVE doing arts and crafts for holidays—even Earth Day and President's Day. I think they just love working with their hands and "making projects," as they like to say.
It all started when I had the idea to introduce origami to my kids for Boys' Day (May 5th), which is celebrated in Japan. My then six-year-old son was hooked. He wanted to learn how to make all sorts of origami animals: birds, fish—you name it. At his kindergarten graduation, he told everyone that he wanted to be an origami teacher when he grew up. He now has six origami books and all kinds of origami paper from wild animal prints to faux peacock feathers, and he loves that he's able to teach other kids in his class how to do origami.
For my younger son, I remember we once melted all our broken crayons into heart-shaped silicone molds. I never intended on using heart-shaped molds. I bought them to use for Valentine's Day years ago, but they were collecting dust in my cupboard. So we used them for our new craft. My son thought his heart-shaped crayons were the coolest thing ever, and I dubbed myself as the coolest mom in the world.
Since then I've been addicted to pinning arts and crafts I find on websites and other blogs on Pinterest. Volcano experiment with vinegar and baking soda? We did it. Make-your-own dinosaur fossils? Did it. Sidewalk paint? Did that too. We even make our own Play-Doh. On my best week, we did three arts and crafts projects that I found online.

[[caption-width-right:320: It's going down.]]
A well-loved German book created by Waldemar Bonsels, which was made into an {{animated adaptation}}, as well as a live action film. [[WTHCastingAgency Starring live insects]].
''Maya the Bee'' follows the life of [[CaptainObvious Maya, a honeybee]] and her friends Willy, also a honeybee, and Flip, a grasshopper.
The animated ''The Adventures of Maya the Honeybee'' is probably the best-known incarnation. It was originally created in Japan between 1975 and 1979 with a total of 104 episodes over two series with 52 episodes each, but [[NoExportForYou only 65]] of these were ever broadcast in North America during its run in the early [[TheNineties 90s]] (with half the episodes in the dub from the first series and half from the second). The series itself has been dubbed into over 40 languages all around the world and has even spawned a number of video games.
The premise of the anime was that Maya was tasked to collect pollen for her hive, but she [[GoneHorriblyRight ended up doing such a good job]] that she gathered ''all'' of the pollen around her hive, and there was none left. The queen bee then sent Maya further away from the hive in search of more pollen.
A new Maya cartoon with 3D rendered graphics is currently showing, with AndreaLibman in the title role.
In Fall 2014, Studio 100 releases a film starring the character called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faxsvLsBdOE "Maya The Bee: The Movie"]] which was released in Germany on September,11,2014 and an English version was released in Australia on November,1, 2014
!! This work provides examples of:
* ArtEvolution: Maya's head design and facial design started looking from a circle in season 1, into oval shaped in season 3 in the original anime series. Also in Season 3, when ever Maya would get very upset or angry. Her eyebrows would start showing up compared to the earlier episodes where she would show expressions with her pupils.
* AnimalTalk: Despite being [[FunnyAnimal Funny Insects]], the main characters never talk to humans. It can be presumed they're communicating using some form of insect speech.
** Specifically, they communicate through complicated dances.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: In one episode of 3D series, insects are lifting a tree trunk with a lever by pushing the shorter arm. This would make necessary force bigger.
* BraggingThemeTune
* ButtMonkey: Willy.
* CarnivoreConfusion: Many examples in anime
* CrossDressingVoice: Willy's voice in the Japanese,Arabic, and Spanish Dub(Except for the Latino) of the anime are all voiced by females. Willy is voiced by men in other dubs.
* ChuckCunningHamSyndrome: Alexander the mouse, isn't present at all in the new 3D series.
* [[ClingyJealousGirl ClingyJealousGuy]]: [[WillTheyOrWontThey While Willy and Maya's relationship changes depending on the episode.]] When Alexander debuted in season 2, Willy would get jealous when ever he see's him spending more time with Maya compared to him.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Watch any episodes of the original anime and then start watching the 3D reboot there are tons of examples that can be jarring to some viewers.
** In the anime, Willy is extremely lazy and if prone to taking very long napes. Willy in the 3D reboot, while also lazy and sleeps alot. He's still alot more active and awake compared to his anime counterpart.
** While Flip was always the TeamDad to Willy and Maya. In the anime, Flip would sometimes get's annoyed along with getting easily excited. In the reboot, Flip rarely get's like that is would usually give some helpful advice to Maya and Willy about certain situations or problems.
** In the original anime, Maya wasn't afraid of pulling out her stinger as self defense or as a threat. In the reboot, this was toned down and Maya would never be seen using her stinger to protect herself.
* CarnivoresAreMean, especially Thekla the spider, but actually they have to eat something. In later episodes of the anime, she quiets trying to eat Maya and the other insects and acts more like a grouchy old neighbor but is kind ever once in a while.
** Maya helps an insect save her nest from a parasite, although somebody has stated that Maya can't save everybody ant that the first insect also has laid her eggs in an larva.
** Ladybugs give everybody aphid juice. Is it honeydew or everybody can eat sentients? Ladybugs eat also leaves.
** Burying beetles and ants are scavengers and wish other insects to die.
** Birds and frogs usually do not speak and are simply predators.
** The second season seems to be less about insects eating insects.
** In the 3D animated series almost exclusively Thekla is bug and predator.
*** One mole cricket is vegetarian and does not eat rain-worms, but her sister apparently does. (Although it is not main point of the plot. When the sister appears, she eats truffle and causes an oak to die.)
*** Birds, frogs and lizards talk and sometimes decide not to eat a bug.
* CanonForeigner: Willy and Flip wasn't in the original book, but became part of the main cast in nearly all the cartoons/merchandise.
* EverythingsWorseWithBees: Subverted.
* FourLeggedInsect: Just look at the page image. But Flip has four hands and two legs and it's even [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in one episode of the new 3D cartoon.
* FunnyAnimal: For the most part, insects walk around as bipeds and act just like humans. Some of them even wear clothes.
** BeePeople, in a way.
* GoneHorriblyRight: Maya's pollen collecting skills.
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Overlaps with NoExportForYou - ''Maya'', not even the 65 broadcasted episodes, was never released on VHS or DVD in North America.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIhXLH179D8&index=27&list=PLmBI17Pylfpd_1VB4COyQtZZRdpHF7UDS Willy has a very laid back character theme]] in foreign versions of the original anime compared to the American dub.
* MouseWorld: A world from the perspective of a bee is a very large world indeed.
* NiceHat: Flip has one.
* NoExportForYou: The sad fate of the 42 unaired episodes in North America.
* NonMammalianHair: While all the bees have hair, Maya and Willy both have hair showing but it's especially noticeable for Maya who has hair all over her head.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: In the CGI reboot, Flip now wears a vest and also carries a violin
* SacrificialLamb: In the 3rd episode, a dragonfly eats a fly just after Maya gets to know the fly. It is maybe the only named character to die.
* ShipTease: Maya and Willy's relationship changes alot in the anime (Well the English version that is). But in new CGI series, there are moments where Maya would kiss Willy on the cheek as well as some hugs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DodTU2nJIOg&list=UUPMnpZh2nBck7wSCZkkF3xA This Dutch music video for example, shows this moments as a cute montage.]] ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp8OGObY3zs This a song dedicated to Maya and Willy that was made in Spain,]] [[ToyShip that implies that Willy does have a secret crush on her.]]
* TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong: This trope applies to Shelby in the CGI animated series.
* TheMovie: The series recently got a film that was released everywhere in Europe.The American release for this film is currently unknown.

I'd say if they're driving you bonkers, but it's out of character, then it might be worth having a talk with them about it. Otherwise, full steam ahead on seeing less of them, maybe interacting only in group settings, etc. etc.

Record for consecutive points won on serve
Does anyone know what this record is?
These are some that I know about:
21 by Lendl in a 1987 U.S. Open quarterfinal against McEnroe
20 by Cash in the 1987 Wimbledon final against Lendl
19 by Borg in the fifth set of the 1980 Wimbledon final against McEnroe
19 by Borg in the fifth set of a 1980 U.S. Open quarterfinal against Tanner
16 by McEnroe to open the 1985 U.S. Open final against Lendl
15 by McEnroe in a 1983 Wimbledon semifinal against Lendl
15 by Cash to open a 1987 Wimbledon semifinal against Connors
15 by Cash to close the 1987 Wimbledon final against Lendl
15 by Wilander in the 1988 Australian Open final against Cash
Not sure about what his longest string is but Karlovic must have some pretty impressive consecutive point won on serve since he leads the tour with highest % of 1st serve points won along with being ranked among the top in 1st serve percent. I have heard that twice he won consecutive games with 4 aces in a row. In other words, twice served 8 aces in a row. If I recall correctly one of the times was against the German Bjorn Phau (in a match which Ivo pulled out 12-10 in a 3rd set t-breaker of course).
Cash was amazing in '87.
The list is interesting, none of the big servers of the 90s are on it. Maybe because they didn't have as big a serve as Goran, Sampras etc they concentrated more on every point on serve in the 80s? while those other guys would be very casual sometimes, knowing they could just blow guys away down 0-30.
I think Rusedski came close to a golden set a few years ago, so he may have had 15 straight points or so on serve.
i'm not sure but i think ivanisevic didn't lose any point on his serve during the 2nd set of his SF against sampras at wimbledon 1995.
he won that set 64 so that would give at least 20 straight points on serve.
unfortunately for him, he lost that match despite winning 10 points more than sampras...
Yeah I think Goran also may have had a long serving streak vs Becker at Wimbledon('90 or '94)
ETA: unless of course Scanlon was broken near the end of the first set and won the set by breaking his opponent; then it would be just 12 straight.
I'm almost positive Greg Rusedski won more than 20 in a row during his match against Thomas Enqvist at Indian Wells in 1998, it was crazy. He won two love games at the end of the first set, so that's 8, and then the second went to the tiebreak and Rusedski must've won at least his first 4 or 5 service games to love, so that's 16 or 20, totaling 24 or 28...
Can't remember the name but sometime in the early 80s a guy won a match at Wimbledon without losing a point.
here is that link on rusedski, it doesn't say how many consecutive pts on serve though:
he was up 5-0 before losing a point
not really conclusive:
"Advanced to tomorrow's semifinal and will play either Thomas Muster or Andrei Medvedev. In today's match, in the first game of the second set, 40-Love, Greg hit a record-breaking serve of 146 miles an hour, the fastest-recorded serve by an ATP Tour device at a tour event. He also had won 34 of 36 first serve points and had 21 aces. He's in his first career Mercedes Super 9 final."
I know that Wilander won 23 straight points when he defeated McEnroe at the 1983 French. But that topic deserves another thread.
Rusedski served three times during his streak, which began and ended on Massu's serve. So Rusedski had at least 12 straight points on serve.
Sampras v Rafter at Compaq Grand Slam Cup in 1997? I believe Pete won about 25 points in a row on serve.
One thing I've noticed about the matches I listed and some that have been suggested, like Rusedski-Envist and Ivanisevic-Sampras, is that very few of the streaks are in a fourth or fifth set. Borg's were both in the fifth, and Wilander's was spread out between the fourth and fifth.
That suggests that these service streaks could be as much about endurance as the serve. What do they say, that the serve is the first to go when you get tired?
And Wilander did not even have a big serve, so you could have a significant streak without even serving big (his service percentage for that match was in the 80s).
I'm going back to my old house this weekend where I got my old tennis tapes, and will definitely check the Rusedski-Enqvist match in 98. Now I want to see if it really was over 25 points or not.
The one to beat

here's another one:
September 10, 2004
Fghting power with power, Joachim Johansson ended Andy Roddick's bid to repeat as United States Open champion last night. Ousting the defending champion and the last American in the men's draw, Johansson outlasted Roddick, 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 2-6, 6-4, at Arthur Ashe Stadium, moving into a semifinal match tomorrow against Lleyton Hewitt.
During one stretch that began during the third set and spilled into the fourth, Roddick won 29 consecutive points on his serve.
here are the match stats(by set as well)
Roddick won 20 of 20 service pts in the 3rd, & in the 4th won 16 out of 18.

"He should be out there," McCoy said.
Floyd, 31, feared his career had ended when he landed awkwardly on an end-zone jump for a Philip Rivers pass. He also injured his ankle and hip on the play, but the knee was the worry.
The team's athletic trainer hurried over, and about two dozen teammates gathered in prayer. An MRI later revealed only a strain.
"I could have sworn I tore every tendon in my knee," Floyd said. "I'm really thankful we have a great training staff. They were able to deal with the situation based on their experience. Our team doctor did a great job diagnosing it and treating it immediately to get me back earlier than expected."

Critical Review by Horace Gregory
SOURCE: "The Poetry of Suburbia," in Partisan Review, Vol. XIII, No. 4, Fall 1956, pp. 545-53.
Gregory is an American poet, critic, and translator whose works include Rooming House (1930) and Medusa in Gramercy Park (1960). In the following review, he praises the "charm" of Wilbur's poetry in Things of This World, but expresses reservations about its ability to retain a place in American literature.
The recent Zeitgeist in American culture is of suburban colors, manners, dress. Those who are currently publishing verse are affected by its daily habits and ambitions, and more than a few have mistaken its presence for a visitation of the Muse. The importance of the suburban Zeitgeist may not be enduring, but since the end of the Korean War, its influence has spread cross-country from the suburbs of Boston to the state of Washington, far beyond the toll-gates of large cities; and it can be heard and seen as vividly on a college campus as in Westchester or nearby Long Island. It is nourished by the magazines I find in my dentist's office: The New Yorker, Life, and Time. It may seem strange that popular culture should invade, and so thoroughly and quickly, the landscapes of academic life; it may not (I am sure it does not) represent academic thinking at its centers, yet on the fringes of the campus it is very much alive, geared to the speed of a two-toned—strawberry-pink and gingham-blue—station wagon. It is well known that most of the verse published today is brought forth in the temporary shelter of universities. Suburban culture has spread its wings over all the activities that surround the campus, and verse written in this atmosphere cannot help reflecting the surfaces of everyday experience.
Another factor influencing the spirit of the verse written today was the belated "discovery" of Wallace Stevens. Of course, he had been "discovered" long ago; but in the postwar years it was not only the wit and inventiveness of Stevens' work, it was the image of his success, both as an executive of an insurance company and as a poet, that caught and held the admiration of young men and women who wrote verse. It was rumored that he was rich, very rich, rich enough to escape all minor economic misfortunes and turns of chance. In the United States there has never been any sustained disrespect for wealth; roughness and the "homespun" manner are often enjoyed, but always with the hope of finding "a rough diamond" or "a heart of gold." So far as the best of Stevens' verse revealed him, he was a pluralist and a skeptic; and certain external features of his legend had become attractive to emulate. The new Zeitgeist quickly absorbed whatever it understood of this legend; then it acquired an air of "difference" from the forty years that separated it from the first publication of Harmonium. It disregarded conscious bohemianism and "sexual freedom," as well as the Left Wing politics of the 1930's, and the "academic" irony fashionable in the 1940's that was best represented by the little magazine Furioso.
The conventions of the new Zeitgeist were being formed. The more "advanced" younger poets had become instructors and lecturers and behind academic facades embittered laurels were being watered and cultivated; old-fashioned excess (if any) and toasts drunk to the memory of F. Scott Fitzgerald were reserved for holidays, or discreetly converted into weekend faculty cocktail parties. These younger poets began to use the word "elegance" in praising each other's writings, and if twenty years ago it had become fashionable to be "proletarian" in spirit, in the early 1950's, it had become a virtue to say that one could not live on less than ten thousand a year, that if one did not have hidden sources of wealth, it was a disgrace to live at all. Stevens' "elegance" was of mind and temperament, yet it was one that seemed easy to imitate in terms of the more garish advertising pages of Harper's Bazaar, Vogue, and The New Yorker, the kind of literature that for a brief, wholly deceptive moment makes the reader feel like a luxury product himself, ready to join the "International Set," to be severe with middle-aged, wealthy American patronesses in Rome, and to drink at Harry's Bar in Venice. The word "elegance," like so many transitory usages of language in the United States, has become the choice of copywriters to sell everything the suburban matron wears. One might suspect collusion between the poets of Harper's Bazaar and the shopkeepers of Westchester.
One effect of the suburban influence has been to revive a kind of writing that had been forgotten since 1914. What used to be called "magazine verse" forty years ago is back in print again, decorously written, and admirably fitted to fill empty spaces between fiction and feature articles. One might call it the New Yorker school of verse.
Though the offices of The New Yorker are in New York, its heart is in the suburbs. The magazine is certainly the handbook of the suburban matron throughout the country. The New Yorker publishes a quantity of light verse, which is nothing to be ashamed of; but light verse that lives beyond the moment is extremely rare. It is rare because poetic wit itself is a rarity; what often passes for it is something "cute," something coy, something pleasant, harmless, or naughty-bitter. It should be well-formed; and not—by the same poet—reiterated too frequently in the same phrases. The cutting edge too frequently wears dull. Large indiscriminate doses of it tend to cloy. These truisms are probably known in the offices of The New Yorker and regretted—therefore, it has fallen back on publishing quasi-serious verse as well, constructed according to current formulas: certain verse forms used with enough caution to be recognized at once, certain images within the verses that recall the "happy-bitter" experience of childhood, the joy of collecting toys and the discovery that toys are perishable, the country places visited at home, the holiday from suburban security in Europe. The great discomfort in reading too much New Yorker verse is that the formula continually wears thin; it is not as cheering as it hoped to be—or as light and witty as Sandy Wilson's parody of the 1920's in his musical The Boy Friend. Reading too much New Yorker verse becomes a bore.
By these winding suburban roads I have come to Richard Wilbur's third book of verse, with its well-chosen title, Things of This World. It is a book that should utterly charm the Zeitgeist. It is undoubtedly the best of Wilbur's three books, and if his early reviewers have placed him among the better poets of his immediate generation, they have not been wrong. With the same care with which he has chosen his title he has selected poems for this volume; they are not too many, not too few; though he is in the New Yorker orbit he seems to float slightly beyond it. What Wilbur contributes to the verse of the Zeitgeist is an absolutely engaging personality with "the desire to please" between the lines of every stanza. This is "the something new" that he has offered to the Zeitgeist. Some of the recent poems reflect his travels in Italy; the first poem in the book, "Altitudes," is among the best of written tributes to Emily Dickinson. His adaptation of Paul Valèry's "Helen" is written with excellent taste, restraint, and firmness; on second reading, more than half the poems in the book retain their charm. A second reading assures me that none of the poems would disturb the self-confidence of the young and smartly dressed suburban matron stepping from her station wagon on a sunny morning. She would probably enjoy most, wrinkling her forehead slightly—in the effort to recall her trips to Europe (on vacation from Radcliffe)—"The Beacon," with its images of deep sea water, and "Piazza Di Spagna, Early Morning"; the girl in that poem must have been the way she looked when she spent three days in Rome. And since she has, of course, read Robert Frost, she would be delighted at hearing familiar Frostian accents in Wilbur's "Digging for China." She might even imagine that her own Junior, age three, would enjoy digging for China in New Jersey, and hope that he, twenty-five years later, would recall the scene as memorably as Richard Wilbur does.
But if one has a long memory for verse, which unfortunately I possess, further rereadings of Wilbur's verse bring doubts to mind. "Piazza Di Spagna" becomes a reduced, less memorable flutter of lines that recreate Eliot's "La Figlia Che Piange." There is also much pleasure in reading Wilbur's "A Voice from Under the Table"—until one remembers Phelps Putnam's "Hasbrouck and the Rose." Both the resemblance and the contrast between the two poems bring up embarrassing questions: Putnam's poem is direct; passionate young fools are drunk and talking aloud. In contrast to Putnam's, Wilbur's poem is overdressed and a shade pretentious—and his phrase, "God keep me a damned fool," rings false, false because Wilbur seems so expert at contriving certain of his lines. It well may be that he feels a necessity to reiterate his adaptation of Francis Jammes' "A Prayer to Go to Paradise with the Donkeys"—but one gains no other evidence from Wilbur's writing that he is foolish. These are my doubts—but I am also convinced that Things of This World will be regarded by many as the best single book of poems published this year; and I believe that Wilbur's charm should not be underrated….

Chapoutier l'Oree Ermitage Blanc 2011
Rhone White Blends from Hermitage, Rhone, France
Winemaker's Notes
The Chapoutier l'Oree Ermitage Blanc displays intense, golden yellow color, with hints of green and gold. Very intense aromas, hot shingles, toffee, and very ripe lemon with floral overtones of acacia and hawthorn. Well-rounded start, full bodied, very complex with overtones of ripe fruits, spices and roasted flavors. Very long in the palate, with a fresh finish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Even better and always one of the top whites in any given vintage, the 2011 Ermitage Cuvee de l'Oree (first produced in 1991) comes from 80+-year-old Marsanne vines planted in the Les Murets lieu-dit. Gorgeously full-bodied and impeccably put together on the palate, with awesome texture and richness that's framed by vibrant acidity, it boasts off the hook aromas and flavors of flower oil, buttered citrus, dried pineapple and powdered rock. It will be even better in another year, and age pretty much forever. As I've said before though, there is no harm in drinking these beauties in their youth."
Wine Spectator - "The Jonagold apple, pear, persimmon and lemon curd notes glide along, carried by hints of brioche and macadamia nut before giving way to a lightly toasted almond edge on the finish. Still shows a hint of raw youth, so let this settle in the cellar. "
International Wine Cellar - "Bright gold. Nectarine, poached pear and honey on the deeply scented nose, with complicating floral and mineral qualities adding lift. Broad, densely packed and fleshy but sharply focused too, offering potent, smoke-tinged orchard and pit fruit flavors and a bitter note of citrus pith. Dry and nervy on the long, incisive finish, which features sexy honeysuckle and spice notes."

M. Chapoutier Winery
No name is more closely associated with the greatness of the Rhône valley than M. Chapoutier.
The history of the Chapoutier family stretches back to the early nineteenth century when current owner Michel Chapoutier's great-, great-, great-grandfather Marius purchased an estate and some vineyards in the now famous village of Tain l'Hermitage in the Northern Rhône Valley. Marius Chapoutier made history in the region when he became the first grape grower there to vinify his own fruit. Marius had tasted wines other winemakers produced using his fruit and he realized that something was lost in translation, so to speak. He knew that he owned some of the best growing sites in the appellation and he believed — rightly — that the grapes grown in his vineyards could produce long-lived world-class wines. In a move unusual at the time, he decided that he should make the wine himself. Not only did the quality of the wines increase greatly, but this move provided the capital to expand the Chapoutiers' already legendary estate.
A visionary and pioneer in biodynamic winemaking, his restless energy and unconditional commitment to quality have produced tremendous success, with the most 90+ point ratings of all Rhône producers and 16 "100 point" rated wines. View all M. Chapoutier Wines
About HermitageView a map of Hermitage wineries (EHR-me-tahj) and Crozés-Hermitage (krohz EHR-me-tahj)
Notable FactsSyrah is the only varietal permitted in the red wines, while whites are typically blends of both Marsanne and Roussanne. All three varieties grow on the Hermitage hill. The red wines of Hermitage are powerful, age-worthy wines, often commanding prices similar to those of top Bordeaux. They are big in fruit and tight in tannins, but with a few years of age (from three years to three decades) they are beautifully complex, perfumed and sensuous. Their whites are somewhat mineral-driven, and depending on the blend, may have an almost oily texture (in a good way!).
Like the island of Manhattan, once all the land of Hermitage is gone, the land is gone – hard to create sprawl from an already established hill. So winemakers planted in the vineyards surrounding Hermitage, in the much larger and flatter appellation of Crozés-Hermitage. The area produces wines of the same make-up of Hermitage – reds from Syrah, whites from Marsanne and Roussanne. Red wines are allowed up to 15% of the white varieties. Some of the reds are full of fruit flavor and ready to drink now, while others are trying to follow Hermitage, by making wines with lots of power and longevity. The whites are few, but enjoyable with good fruit and the same texture of those from Hermitage.
About France - Other regionsWhen it comes to wine, France is a classic. Classic blends, grapes and styles began in the country and they still remain. Think about it - people ask for a Burgundian style Pinot Noir, they refer to wines as Bordeaux or Rhone blends - Champagne even had to pass a law to stop international wineries from putting their region on the label of all sparkling wine.
The top regions of France are: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Languedoc-Roussillon, Loire, Rhone. And these regions are so diverse! It makes sense that wine regions throughout the world try to emulate their style. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah are no longer French varieties, but international varieties. They may not be the leader of cutting edge technology or value-priced wines, but there is no doubt that they are still producing wines of great quality and diversity.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Sultan of Brunei to visit Philippines next week
More News from Tarra Quismundo
MANILA, Philippines—The Sultan of Brunei is set to visit Manila next week, his first visit to the country under President Benigno Aquino III's presidency, which is seen to boost longstanding ties between the Southeast Asian neighbors.
According to a Department of Foreign Affairs statement issued late Monday, the Brunei Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'izzaddin Waddaulah will be in the country from April 15 to 16 to deepen bilateral ties between Manila and Bandar Seri Begawan.
The visit reciprocates President Benigno Aquino III's state visit to Brunei in June 2011, when the chief executive met with officials, local businessmen and members of the 21,000-strong Filipino community there.
Bolkiah visits the Philippines just weeks before Brunei's hosting of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nation's (Asean) Summit meetings.
"During the State Visit, the President and the Sultan will discuss, among others, Brunei's chairmanship of the ASEAN as well as the strengthening of Philippines-Brunei bilateral relations," said the DFA in a statement.
Brunei is a close Philippine partner, actively involved in the Mindanao peace process through membership in the International Monitoring Team.
Bolkiah is also known to have supported development projects for Mindanao communities.
The DFA did not say whether the two leaders would have the opportunity to discuss common interests in the West Philippine Sea, where both the Philippines and Brunei have partial claims to potentially resource-rich territories.
Just last week, Philippine and Brunei officials met in Bandar Seri Begawan for the 2nd Joint Commission on Bilateral Cooperation (JCBC).
During the meeting, officials discussed potential areas for further cooperation, including defense, agriculture, energy, trade and investments, business process outsourcing, education, labor, and health, said the DFA.
The two sides also looked at the possibility of employing Filipino medical professionals in Brunei.
Bolkiah last visited the Philippines in 2009.

Fairfield 2020: Building a More Sustainable Future
On January 29, 2014, University President Jeffrey P. von Arx, S.J., called together the University community – students, faculty, administrators, staff, trustees, and alumni – to engage in a campus-wide effort to refresh the University's Strategic Plan.
Over the coming year, the community will be asked to reflect on the challenges facing the world of higher education in our time, to develop recommendations on how Fairfield University can best position itself to embrace new opportunities afforded by marketplace demands and new technologies, and continue to serve as a model of Jesuit education for the 21st century. "Fairfield 2020: Building a More Sustainable Future" is a strategic plan refresh that builds on the foundation established by "Learning and Integrity: A Strategic Vision for Fairfield University," adopted in December 2005.
The goal of this website is to serve as a portal for the Strategic Refresh, providing a centralized location to post and share work, keep an ongoing record of the process as it unfolds, and provide access to materials that will stimulate community-wide discussion and inform the planning process.
The President and the Steering Committee have commissioned 10 task forces, each charged to examine an area of University programming or operations and consider a set of challenges particular to those areas. The task forces are expected to make preliminary reports of their findings to the Steering Committee in May 2014. After feedback and comments from the Steering Committee, final reports will be submitted in November of 2014. A consolidated report from the Steering Committee is expected to be completed, and the plan implemented, in Spring of 2015.

Natural Sciences Repository Publishes Acid Residues and Acid Sequence Resources
The novel Natural Sciences Repository aims to provide reliable information on various areas of scientific interest and presents its content in the simplest words and terms possible. The site has now added the categories Acid Residues and Acid Sequence to its Acid section. The first new category contains scientific information on amino acid residues, which are a by-product of the peptide formation process whereas the second newly included category contains scientific information on Acid Sequence, which is generally the order in which amino or nucleic acids occur.
Bad Honnef, Germany (PRWEB) September 05, 2012
The aim of the Repository for Natural Sciences is to provide reliable information on various areas of scientific interest in a format that can be digested easily. The information is presented in the simplest words and terms possible and that can be easily searched for within the website.
The section Acids contains scientific information about acids, its kinds, and naming acidic substances. While there are three basic definitions for acids, the Arrhenius, the BrØnsted-Lowry, and the Lewis definitions, acids are named according to their anions, with the ionic suffix typically dropped and replaced with a new one. After inclusion of the two new categories, this section contains ten categories including Chromatography, Compounds, Diet, Enzyme, Fatty, Glucose, Lipid, Metabolism, Residues and Sequence. Users can receive alerts for newly published content in this section by subscribing to the Acids RSS feed.
The newly published category Acid Residues contains scientific information on amino acid residues, which are a by-product of the peptide formation process. An amino acid is a molecule with an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side chain specific to each amino acid present in the molecule. They occur naturally in both plant and animal tissues and are also the basic constituents of proteins. While some amino acid residues are called N terminal and can be found at the N terminus, amino acids with a free carboxyl group are called C terminal. The category currently contains ca. 650 articles including one on DNA-fiber EPR investigation of the influence of amino-terminal residue stereochemistry on the DNA binding orientation of CuIIcenter dot Gly-Gly-His-derived metallopeptides. Another article demonstrates the determination of Kaposis sarcoma-associated herpesvirus C-terminal latency-associated nuclear antigen residues mediating chromosome association and DNA binding. The article on engineering of Pseudomonas aeruginosa lipase by directed evolution for enhanced amidase activity mechanistic implication for amide hydrolysis by serine hydrolases revealed that the amidase activity was increased by the increase in the catalytic efficiency (k(cat)). The increase in k(cat) suggested the importance of the leaving group protonation by the catalytic His during the break down of the tetrahedral intermediate in the hydrolysis of amides. Users can receive alerts for newly published content in this category by subscribing to the Acid Residues RSS feed.
The new Acid Sequence category contains scientific information on the order in which amino or nucleic acids occur. A nucleic acid sequence makes up the primary structure of a nucleic acid. It is the sequence of atoms that make up the acid and subsequently, the chemical bonds that bind these atoms together. The acid sequence is also used in biological and biochemical study to represent genetic information. On the other hand, an amino acid sequence is the order where amino acid residues, which are connected by peptide bonds, lie in a chain made up of peptides and proteins. The category currently contains ca. 300 articles including one presenting a novel WX mutation caused by insertion of a retrotransposon-like sequence in a glutinous cultivar of rice (Oryza sativa). Another article describes a calibration-curve-free quantitative PCR A quantitative method for specific nucleic acid sequences without using calibration curves. Users can receive alerts for newly published content in this category by subscribing to the Acid Sequence RSS feed.
The repository groups information in the natural sciences according to interrelated sections and categories that will help readers understand the context of whatever topic is searched information on. It is composed of eleven sections which are subdivided into up to ten categories. Each unit contains a definition composed in an understandable way. Each item in these sections and categories contains up to twenty clickable tags.
