American Pie: The Imperialism of the Calorie
Nick Cullather explains how the scientific discovery of the calorie meant food values could be quantified – and the US could make food an instrument of foreign policy.
In Super Size Me, his 2004 documentary on the fast-food industry, Morgan Spurlock asks Americans if they know what a calorie is. A few shake their heads, but most gamely guess that it has something to do with fat. 'It's on the side of the cereal box', one explains. 'Calories are not good', another knows for sure. Even a specialist had difficulty recalling that a calorie is a measure of the energy content of food, an amount sufficient to raise the temperature of one litre of water one degree.
In the first half of the twentieth century, figures of all kinds, from gross national products to birth rates, became the language of statecraft, yet the original meaning of the numbers melted away, leaving behind distinctive patterns on thought and policy. The calorie is one such measure. Its initial purpose was to inventory the food supplies and appetites of whole populations, but it grew instead into a measure of inspanidual self-control. Along the way it altered the logic of international affairs, placing food at the centre of trade controversies, humanitarian crises, and development schemes.
Europeans first measured food in calories in 1883, but Americans devised the instruments that made the calorie a practical, everyday measurement, and it was in the United States that the calorie left its most visible imprint on foreign policy. It popularized a set of assumptions that allowed Americans to see food as an instrument of power, and to envisage a 'world food problem' amenable to political and scientific intervention.
The work of rendering food into hard figures began after breakfast on March 23rd, 1896, when Wilbur O. Atwater (1844-1907) sealed a student into an airtight chamber in the basement of Judd Hall on the Wesleyan University campus where Atwater was Professor of Chemistry. The apparatus was described by the press as resembling a meat locker, a room 'about as large as an ordinary convict's cell' lined with copper and zinc, its interior visible through a triple-paned glass aperture. Its occupant, A. W. Smith, took measured quantities of bread, baked beans, Hamburg steak, milk, and mashed potatoes through an airlock during rest periods which alternated with intervals of weightlifting. Thermometers, hygrometers and electric condensers, pumps, and fans precisely measured the exchange of heat, air and matter into and out of the chamber. Smith was inside a calorimeter, a device previously used to measure the combustive efficiency of explosives and engines.
The national press found a Chekhovian parable in the voluntary captivity of Smith, alternately described as 'the man in the box' and 'the prisoner of science'. On the second day, Atwater had to turn away a young New York woman who appeared at the lab asking to be allowed into the chamber, but despite distractions the calorimeter's first run was an enormous success, generating pages of calculations and a $10,000 Congressional appropriation to continue the work. Atwater invited champion cyclist Nat Butler to establish 'how far a man ought to ride a bicycle on one egg'. Wesleyan's football captain volunteered to take his French final inside the device to determine the quantum of heat generated by an hour of cogitation. But it was the statistical results – tables that assigned calorie counts to specific foods and tasks – that made Atwater a household name. Clergymen applauded the discovery that the body created in the spanine image produced energy more efficiently than a locomotive. The Women's Christian Temperance Union campaigned against Atwater after an experiment in which a test subject subsisted for six days on a diet 'largely composed of alcohol' confirming that liquor was a food. But most sensational of all was Atwater's pronouncement that mathematical laws governed the ordinary act of eating.
The calorimeter had ramifications for the management of factories, prisons and schools, as well as the provisioning of armies. It could reduce the cost of rations, and test their suitability for the tropics and for varying conditions of work. Atwater expected an even greater benefit. For the first time, nutritionists would be able to make precise comparisons between social classes and nations. In the midst of tense negotiations with Japan over spheres of influence in the Far East in November 1908, Secretary of State Elihu Root visited the calorimeter, proclaiming it an 'invaluable invention'. Journalists anticipated that its greatest impact would be on the 'Asiatic races' whose improvement could begin by bringing their diet up to an American standard. Economic and social progress in Asia would have to await nutritional progress, a popular magazine explained, since
... what can we expect either of physical or moral vigor from communities who live on the physical plane of millions in the Orient?
With a numerical gauge, Americans could begin to imagine the influence to be gained by manipulating the diets of distant peoples. The calorie, Atwater declared, would dictate the 'food supply of the future'.
As Atwater's invention came into use as an international measure of food value, a number of important claims and metaphors gained acceptance along with it, constituting a scientifically-authorized, 'realistic' view of the international food regime. These included a conviction that food was fundamentally uniform and comparable between nations and time periods; that the state had a primary obligation to assure a 'balance' between the supply of food and the dietary needs of the nation; that wheat was uniquely important as an international conveyor of bulk food value; and that the interests of world peace might ultimately require a global food balance rationalized through some form of international regulation. At the time, these ideas did not constitute a policy but only a direction for policy, a notion of which way progress was headed and where the United States could lead.
Official enthusiasm for Atwater's experiments indicated the degree to which the need for an index of food consumption had already been recognized. Before the invention of a yardstick, it had been difficult to speak of food in competitive, evolutionary terms. The 'science' of nutrition was dominated by vegetarians and iconoclasts, such as the British Horace Fletcher (1849-1919) and the American John Harvey Kellogg (1852-1943), who applied moral and aesthetic criteria. But a separate field of inquiry emerged in tandem with Frederick Winslow Taylor's 'scientific management' of labour (1911). Atwater led efforts by manufacturers and government agencies to set scientific 'standards of living' that would contain wages while maintaining a healthy workforce. Between 1885 and 1910, nutritionists conducted over 500 investigations of eating habits in slums, boarding schools, reservations, railroad camps, and plantations, but they were dissatisfied with their findings. The surveys documented an almost unclassifiable spanersity of food customs, yielding data that only complicated the reformist argument for norms. Atwater, in collaboration with Ludwig Rubner in Berlin and Armand Gautier in Paris, began investigating a system for rendering food and labour into thermal units.
The need for a standard gauge had been evident at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Among the least visited but most impressive exhibits was the Agricultural Building, a glass-domed arcade housing nineteen acres of French cheeses, Indian curries, Javanese coffees, Greek oils, and German chocolate. As one juror commented:
In walking through the corridors of this Agricultural Building, the earth and its nations seem drawn up for martial review ... The history of the older nations, the customs of the new, the social status of all, are revealed.
But the terms of comparison were unclear. Although care was taken to impose a taxonomic order, the effect on the viewer was of a culinary babel, as the animal, vegetable and gastronomic novelties of five continents jostled in mystifying profusion. At Chicago, 'the line of triangulation into the future', Henry Adams observed, was measured in units of 'power, tonnage and speed', but in the Agricultural Building visitors could see only the cornucopia of the present.
Americans increasingly digested their information in numerical form. After 1905, gamblers judged horses by the portents in the Racing Form and baseball fans sized up hitters by the tables in The Sporting News. Newspapers published an avalanche of statistics evaluating business acumen by quarterly earnings, literature by copies sold, and drama by the number of weeks on Broadway. Many observers considered such quantitative reasoning a national trait. 'If the English are a nation of shopkeepers, Americans are a nation of expert accountants', critic and playwright Eugene R. White observed. 'We go about reforming and purifying the world with a committee report at elbow and a statistical compilation in each hand'. The calorimeter translated the vernacular customs of food into this numerical language of empire. Nutritionists became custodians of an 'American diet' in competition with other national diets. Caloric schedules ranked grain, meat and dairy goods as important national resources, while fruits, leafy vegetables and fish registered such slight nutritional value they could scarcely be classified as food. Tea, coffee and spices, on which whole imperial systems had once flourished, had no value at all.
The calorie represented food as uniform, composed of interchangeable parts, and comparable across time and between nations and races. In 1911, C. F. Langworthy, who succeeded Atwater as head of nutrition investigations at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), compiled surveys undertaken by missionaries and ethnographers into a ranked list of the peoples of 'each country and each epoch' on a scale of daily consumption, with the 'native laborer' of the Congo at the bottom (2,812 calories) and the American athlete at the top (4,510 calories). Challenging theories of racial difference, Langworthy stressed that the human diet was far less spanerse than had formerly been thought. Broken down into constituent chemicals, the potatoes and cheese that fed the Irish labourer were identical, except in quantity, to the rice and ghee that nourished an Indian coolie. The central component in every diet was nitrogen, the element that lent a high 'energy value' to meat, milk, and wheat.
Nutritionists identified 'balance' as the primary characteristic of a progressive diet and advocated a system of caloric 'bookkeeping' to increase national efficiency. As a measure of optimization, the calorie represented an advance over the kinds of statistics in use. Officials already employed tax, birth, mortality and crime figures to discover natural laws in human behaviour that would serve as foundations for policy, but the calorie revealed a wide discrepancy between 'natural' behaviour and the ideal balance that might be achieved through social regulation. As Atwater and Langworthy never tired of observing, people of all classes and educations ate the wrong things in the wrong amounts. The calorie authorized government to tell people what was best for them.
Calories were better suited to guiding policy than personal eating habits, physicians repeatedly pointed out. In 1917, the American Medical Association warned against the 'unwise domination' of the calorie in the popular mind, but its use persisted through advertisements, which instructed consumers that 'calories measure food energy the same as dollars measure money'. The federal government eagerly seized the calorie to fill an urgent need for information on food consumption. After the outbreak of war in Europe, food panics occurred in major US cities, which revealed the inadequacy of both the market mechanism and official knowledge. Federal officials realized they didn't know how much food to allocate to each family or to each city, how much there was, or how to get it most efficiently. The lack of numbers other than price figures, which fluctuated wildly, added to the confusion. Combined with censuses, caloric tables could be used to estimate rations for cities, armies or even whole nations.
Under pressure of war, the marshalling of food consumption became a critical responsibility of the state. Correspondents searched for indicators of how each side was faring in the offerings of restaurants and meat markets and the caloric content of soldiers' rations. The New York Times suggested that Germany, with its ports sealed, represented a vast calorimeter within which national energy and food production would have to balance. When a group of American engineers organized a massive food drive for occupied Belgium, they turned to the new 'science of dietetics' to manage the logistics of famine relief. As US supplies became critical on both sides of the Western Front, Europeans learned to calculate food by American numbers.
In the United States, mobilization began in 1917 with the creation of a national food authority under Herbert Hoover, a mining engineer and the chief organizer of the Belgium relief. From his headquarters in the Willard Hotel, Hoover launched a drive to conserve sugar, fats and grain for export to the front. Administrators took immediate steps to expand the cultivation of wheat, 'by far' the most essential commodity because of its portability and abundance. Dry and dense, wheat 'offered the largest supply of calories available'. In the midst of war, Hoover told his staff,
... the wheat loaf has ascended in the imagination of men, women and children as the emblem of national survival and national tranquillity.
Conserving 20 million bushels for Europe would require the taming of American eating habits. The calorie was indispensable for setting rations, identifying substitutes, and defining patriotic self-control. One guidebook instructed:
You should know and also use the word calorie as frequently, or more frequently, than you use the words foot, yard, quart, [or] gallon ... Instead of saying one slice of bread, or a piece of pie, you will say 100 calories of bread, 350 calories of pie.
Consuming surplus calories amounted to 'overeating' which sapped personal and national efficiency. Manhattan restaurants helpfully listed calorie counts next to each item along with the recommended quantities for each 'walk of life'. The conscription of inspanidual appetites disturbed conventional distinctions between public duty and personal conduct. Churchman Lyman Abbot disparaged calorie counting as 'spiritual hypochondria', while the Los Angeles Times mourned the days when 'the highest science known to eating was to be able to balance green peas on a knife'.
Hoover stressed an intimate connection between the 'test' of bodily discipline and the trials that would face the nation during the wartime emergency and after. Personal dietary sacrifice indicated the American people's arrival at a 'stage of development' at which it was prepared to 'protect its own institutions and those of Europe'. Russia had never attained that stage, he argued, 'and the result has been a massacre'. He urged Americans to seek 'victory over ourselves; victory over the enemy of freedom.' He defined food as both a core vulnerability in the international order and an instrument of US influence. Food Administration experts created a ledger of global food resources and caloric requirements and shortly before the armistice, Hoover informed President Woodrow Wilson that the United States would have to undertake relief efforts in forty-five nations 'if we are to preserve these countries from Bolshevism and rank anarchy'.
Hoover was an early proponent of a novel strategic concept that linked security to social welfare. He warned of the domino effect that could be touched off by scarcity. 'Famine breeds anarchy,' he explained.
Anarchy is infectious, the infections of such a cess-pool will jeopardize France and Britain, [and] will yet spread to the United States.
To forestall future wars, he believed, the United States would have to provide, in example and theory, an alternative route to progress.
Many in Washington shared Hoover's desire to shift political and military vexations onto the more favourable ground of social and economic policy. In the aftermath of war, policymakers grasped for stable benchmarks on which to anchor a new conceptual order. This impulse lay behind a modest proposal by Chase Osborn, former governor of Michigan, to use the calorie as a global currency. 'The quest of the calorie instead of the quest of wealth in gold,' he explained, 'would be the seeking of a permanent and not a changeable good.' Conservatives who rejected the abstractions of Versailles welcomed international engagement on the solid ground of statistics. Republican administrations encouraged the statistical missions of the League Health Office and Labor Organization, which included national dietary surveys based on the Atwater method. By 1925, the British magazine Spectator could observe:
the great American work of dietetics … has won all along the line, despite vigorous resistance in this country. …[T]he idea of balance is becoming ever more insistent.
A number of European observers in the interwar years regarded an enthusiasm for measurement and scientific regulation as both characteristically American and as a grim portent of modernity's future course. To Dutch historian Johan Huizinga the American penchant for numerical classifications represented a 'Taylorism of the mind', a sacrifice of intellectual freedom to the dictates of efficiency. Used this way, science reached for sheltered and familiar terrain rather than the unknown. In 1930, French novelist Georges Duhamel recognized that he had arrived at the 'world of the future' when his American host urged him to order oatmeal rather than potatoes because 'it will give you two hundred more calories'. To Duhamel, the incident illustrated a distinctively American application of science as a palliative, as an evasion of civilization's duty to confront uncertainty and disorder. 'The word "calorie" contains nothing to frighten me', he noted,
I have lived in laboratories, but I think that laboratories and private life are two separate things ... Your faith in science doesn't bring you tranquillity: it merely gives your uneasiness a different twist.
But as Americans promoted 'scientific' measures of opinion, consumer behaviour, efficiency, and standards of living abroad, they regarded the neutrality and clarity of their statistics as a gift to mankind. 'Our latest symbol is not the big stick', the New York Times diplomatic correspondent wrote in 1929, 'but the irrefutable and passionless yardstick.'
One gauge of the calorie's capacity to affect international norms can be tracked through its influence on the refinement of 'national' cuisines. Interwar reformers aimed to conform local dishes to a progressive, international standard, typically by adding wheat. The cuisine now seen as Greek, for example, appeared first in the cookbooks of Nikolaos Tselementes in the 1920s. A chef in Parisian restaurants, Tselementes modernized moussaka and pastitsio by eliminating Anatolian and Slavic yoghurt, oils, and spices and introducing a floury bechamel identical to a high-calorie 'white sauce' that American nutritionists urged as a meat substitute. Mexico's revolutionary government assimilated Indians by promoting the wheat tamale over the corn tortilla. Calorimeter studies at Japan's Imperial State Institute for Nutrition studies in 1921 led to a thorough revision of eating habits. To place the Emperor's troops on a nutritional par with their prospective adversaries, military chefs adopted 'Western' recipes and 'ingredients of poor quality' such as beef, pork, noodles and fried batter (tempura).
In the British empire, nutritional science supplied a seemingly neutral, calculative language in which to reassert imperial claims. Robert Boyd-Orr found that the 'meat, milk, and blood' diet of Kenya's Masai produced a stronger physique than the largely vegetarian cuisine of the Kikuyu, and urged investments in agriculture to revitalize the imperial economy. Indian nationalists recognized that the new crisis of 'malnutrition' furnished a justification for Britain's continuing stewardship. Gandhi chose diet as his point of attack against the authority of imperial science. Since nutritionists disarticulated food from labour and the soil, he consciously mingled his dietary advice with un-abstract discussions of cookery, manure and the texture and taste of foods. Each vegetable and fruit possessed 'physical and spiritual values' which could be measured only in the unique laboratory of each human body. In crafting a link between diet and nationalism, Gandhi used food to symbolize the value of the particular, the local, and the inspanidual under assault from the homogenizing logic of modern science.
It was this universalizing logic that guided Anglo-American efforts to construct a world food order. Under the duress of the Depression, a global scheme for disposing of European and American surpluses in the statistically-malnourished colonial areas took shape. The founding document of what would become the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) was a 1936 League of Nations report on nutrition. Reading it today, it is difficult to see why this abstruse document aroused the rhetorical outpouring that ensued. Its findings were 'little short of revolutionary', according to the Spectator. For the New York Times the commission had laid bare 'the challenge underlying the disorders of this epoch, the pretext for modern wars'. The power of the report's message was conveyed less by the official prose than by a juxtaposition of three categories of numbers: minimum requirements for mothers and children, per capita consumption in various countries, and total volume produced, all in calories. The parallelism implied ('irrefutably', commentators agreed) an intimate connection between the crisis of agricultural overproduction in some countries and the problem of malnutrition in others. Relief shipments could carve out permanent new markets and channels of trade, the commission anticipated. 'Generally speaking', it noted optimistically, 'most Chinese are in a state of malnutrition all of the time.' In 1943, the Roosevelt administration gathered seventy-seven nations to found the FAO, the first component of a new postwar international order. By then, freedom from want had become an American war aim, and the 'food supply of the future' that Atwater anticipated had become a political reality.

So you're not jetting off to Johannesburg.
That doesn't mean you can't keep up with the scores and stories coming out of World Cup 2010.
The Web is exploding with videos, mobile applications, widgets and more to help footy fans keep tabs on the mega soccer tournament -- even if they're deskbound at work.
Given how big the audience is expected to be, some think the World Cup could be a major event, not just for the sports world, but for Web video and social media too.
"I think it could be record-setting," said Janko Roettgers, co-editor of NewTeeVee, a new media and online video blog. "It has such a presence all over the world and people all over the world are going to be tuning in at the same time and conversing about it."
From watching live video streams to apps for every kind of mobile device or following the action in real-time on Twitter, the options are vast.
Below, check out seven ways you can satisfy your appetite for all things World Cup.
No TV? No problem.
At ESPN3.com, it'll be all soccer, all the time.
The website will stream 54 out of 64 games in real time, with live commentary in English, Arabic, German, Japanese and Korean. Roettgers said the site will also offer Facebook and Twitter integrations, the ability to jump through programming to key plays in the game and a split-screen mode.
But he said that not all fans will be able to tune in. To access the programs, users have to be a customer of a partner ISP (Internet service provider), including AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and others. (For a full list, click here.) You'll also need to install Adobe's Flash Player 10 to watch.
For soccer fans who want soccer coverage on the go, ESPN also offers an iPhone application that, for $7.99, lets them watch matches live from their phones.
ESPN Mobile also will deliver 56 games live on FLO TV, MobiTV, Sprint TV and Verizon V-Cast. AT&T Mobile TV subscribers will be able to access all 64 games live. Owners of the Sprint Evo 4G smartphone will able to watch 56 World Cup matches live through ESPN's Mobile TV channel via Sprint.
If your ISP isn't associated with ESPN, you still can tune in to UnivisionFutbol.com, which will be accessible to everyone.
Commentary will be in Spanish, but even for some non-native Spanish speakers, that's a bonus.
"Personally, I'm a soccer fan and I prefer the Spanish anyway because it's more animated," Roettgers said.
The games will come complete with real-time stats and minute-to-minute commentary, he said. But, you'll also need Adobe's Flash Player 10 to watch the action.
If you think a busybody boss might not approve of live video, OneRiot has an under-the-radar option for you.
The real-time search engine aggregates posts from Twitter, Facebook, Digg and MySpace and the ranks them according to how buzzy they are.
"What we're doing is tapping into those sources and finding out what people are talking about, what are the stories that are really resonating right now," said Tobias Peggs, president of OneRiot.
If you type "World Cup" into the search box, he said, the results will show you the most-current and most-shared stories.
"We calculate the pulse of that particular piece of content," he said.

Mike Takes GG's Side
Mike thinks MJ is in the wrong when it comes to her beef with GG.
Hello Shahs fans! Missed you all last week. This week episode was action packed. What's up with Leila and GG? Sisters should love one another and be ride or die. These two just want to kill each other.
MJ is hilarious! She's relishing in the fact that she pissed of GG? Mercedes did GG wrong! She broke the friend code, ratting her out about what she did with Shayan! Mercedes should apologize for being low down. GG has every right to be pissed off. I'm on GG's side on this one. Lilly and her glam squad are hilarious. They look like they always have fun together. Who knew that wig shopping can be so hilarious?
Mercedes getting spray tanned -- television magic!!! She is the modern day Lucille Ball. Absolutely hilarious. Love this girl! Shopping with my girls was so much fun! I'm definitely a mama's boy. If you had a mom like mine, you would be too. I've been blessed with a wonderful woman that raised me and now I have incredible one who completes me.
Is it just me or is the conversation between Reza and Lilly like two women having a falling out? Man up, Rez! You and Lilly were never that close. Reza is the only person who is close to Reza. Everyone else is just a prop in his life. Asa, your art show was very creative. Follow your passion, even if some may not understand it. I don't really get the Eazy E aspect of the show. You said that Eazy E is your body? That's weird, you know how he died right? Had a fun time though -- from Reza's "suit" to Jessica checking MJ! BTW it wasn't that I don't have my girlfriend's back, it's that I wanted for her to keep it classy! Impressive night!

PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Based on the comments John Farrell made Wednesday, it wouldnŌĆÖt classify as a tremendous shock to see Will Middlebrooks remain with the PawSox beyond when heŌĆÖs eligible to come off the disabled list, which is Saturday.
Position players are allotted a 20-day rehab window with Wednesday serving as Day Two of MiddlebrooksŌĆÖ on-the-mend stint. During his weekly radio appearance on WEEI, Farrell mentioned that itŌĆÖs just not a matter of the third baseman shaking off the cobwebs after landing on the disabled list with a lower back strain.
In so many words, the Red Sox manager mentioned that there are some additional kinks that Middlebrooks needs to iron out, ones that may require more than three or four daysŌĆÖ worth of plate appearances. For a player that was slumping as badly as Middlebrooks was prior to landing on the shelf on May 24, a few extra days in the minors may go a long way in helping him get back on track.
Middlebrooks played the role of good solider when asked to weigh in on FarrellŌĆÖs comments prior to taking the field at McCoy Stadium Wednesday night, saying that whatever the team needs, heŌĆÖll abide by the decision thatŌĆÖs rendered. To his credit, he was upfront about his struggles, ones that range from a low batting average (.201 in 46 games) to a low on-base percentage (.234) to a frequent strikeout rate (54 in 174 at-bats).
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre just trying to get things back on track. IŌĆÖve been grinding all year through some injuries and I just want to make sure everything is normal and just back to how I was pre injuries,ŌĆØ Middlebrooks said. ŌĆ£Of course I want to be a better player; IŌĆÖm not a .200 hitter. First and foremost, my health is the priority. LetŌĆÖs get that straight before we worry about anything else.ŌĆØ
Pawtucket manager Gary DiSarcina knows that not all rehab assignments are created equal, and that appears to be the case with Middlebrooks. DiSarcina then drew upon Manny RamirezŌĆÖ momentous rehab stay with the PawSox in 2002, one the skipper was privileged to witness up close.
ŌĆ£When David (Ortiz was with the PawSox in April), he had missed a lot of spring training. Each hitter is different. Some guys, they need their timing and see a lot of pitches,ŌĆØ DiSarcina explained. ŌĆ£Once Will feels comfortable that heŌĆÖs had enough at-bats and the organization feels comfortable, heŌĆÖs out of here.
ŌĆ£I was playing (with the PawSox) when Manny was down here, and IŌĆÖm pretty sure he went 3-for-30 and wanted to stay. The ping pong table (in the home clubhouse) was a big deal,ŌĆØ he added when the conversation shifted to the former Red Sox slugger before the topic once again was Middlebrooks. ŌĆ£For Will, I donŌĆÖt think heŌĆÖs never done a rehab before. ItŌĆÖs individualized and if it takes an extra day, itŌĆÖs takes an extra day. We want to do whatŌĆÖs best for him.ŌĆØ
New PawSox pitcher Brandon Workman was broached about instance that took place during a start with Double-A Portland on May 3 in New Britain. It was the bottom of the fifth inning and Workman had just surrendered a booming triple to the RockcatsŌĆÖ Jason Christian that just missed going over the centerfield fence.
Instead of becoming unhinged, Workman fought back to strike out back-to-back hitters, relying on the same heavy fastball that Christian had figured out. Reminded about the moment, the 24-year-old product from the University of Texas described that in good times or bad, heŌĆÖs not about to change.
ŌĆ£My fastball is the pitch where everything works off. Sometimes it does get hit, but thatŌĆÖs not going to stop me from throwing it,ŌĆØ said Workman. ŌĆ£I just try to keep a level head about it and keep working.ŌĆØ
Workman said he received word that he was being promoted to Triple A on Tuesday when he was called into Portland manager Kevin BolesŌĆÖ office. His addition to PawtucketŌĆÖs roster came the same day that pitcher Oscar Villarreal was granted his release.
ŌĆ£I kind of figured that (a summons to Pawtucket) would come at some point, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise,ŌĆØ said Workman, who will make his PawSox debut this Saturday night in Syracuse.
A fourth-round pick of the Red Sox in 2010, Workman leaves Portland with an impressive 5-1 mark with a 3.43 ERA in 11 games (10 starts). He was part of a heralded Sea Dog pitching staff that includes Matt Barnes and Anthony Ranaudo.
ŌĆ£All of those guys are throwing the ball well right now, but I look at this new opportunity as a challenge,ŌĆØ stated Workman.

Men's sports teams have lost virtually all cases alleging "quota" and "reverse discrimination."
Additionally, the Women's Sports Foundation is aware of instances when girls appealed to their school for a new sport but were told, "if you continue to petition, we'll just cut the boys' team." And sadly, despite our efforts, the strategy was successful, because the girls' brothers and friends were playing on the threatened team. These girls learned that their school leaders expected them to be quiet and continue to receive second-class treatment.
Rather than blaming Title IX, female athletes, or Washington bureaucrats, the Women's Sports Foundation calls upon schools to embrace the principle of gender equity and equal treatment as the norm. School sports are a wise expenditure of our tax resources with outstanding benefits to society, such as higher educational attainment, more full-time employment, and innumerable life-long health benefits. A healthy, educated, industrious workforce benefits all of us with a more productive economy, and should be available in equal measure to both male and female students.

HP iPAQ hw6900 rumours
A new information about the rumoured HP iPAQ hw6700 has appeared in the Internet. It seems to have been renamed to iPAQ hw6900. The new series will come in two models - hw6910 and hw6915.
The new Hewlett Packard Pocket PC phones will have the same dimensions as the current hw6500 - 118 x 71 x 21 mm. They will have an integrated A-GPS receiver, 128 MB flash memory, 64 MB SDRAM memory and the Intel Xscale PXA 270 processor, working at 416 Mhz. To keep the same dimensions, hw6900 won't have SDIO/MMC slot, which was present in the hw6500 series. However, Bluetooth 1.2, IrDA, USB 1.1, GPRS/EDGE and Wi-Fi support will be available and the miniSD slot will stay. Both the new devices will have 3-inch 65k color TFT touchscreen, but only the hw6915 will have a 1.3 mega pixels camera with LED flash.
Working with the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS with AKU2 (Adaptation Kit Update 2 for additional extras), the HP iPAQ hw6900 series are expected to be released in the first quarter of 2006.

Since she's sitting, you might want to flatten out her ass a little. Right now it looks like she's clenching and stitting up high on her tensed-up ass muscles

If you really want the leg sticking out to the right, sorry, no suggestions other than getting a ref.
Originally I thought her left leg was bent in front of her, and her right hand was holding it close to her chest. Could try it if you want, might balance things out a touch
August 22nd, 2006 #5
She's actually holding up a sheet with her right hand, and her right leg is where that blue outline on the right is.
August 22nd, 2006 #6
the way you've positioned her does not impy her left leg is out on its side.. it should be in front of her. when a leg is out like that, the ass flattens a little and the cheeks separate and distort a certain way. it moves with the leg. id recommend using a ref or you'll go crazy tryin to make it look the correct way. very nice sketch by the way - JAG
PS the postioning of her head needs a little work too..
it's only after you've lost everything, that you're free to do anything..
August 23rd, 2006 #7
Hey you!
Nice name( I should have picked an alias too) nice to see someone familiar here.
How about drawing through her and place foreshortened cylinders to try out the leg poses. Or better just do the skeletal framework then add cylinders.
Okay...that's not really an original thought but I think it'll help.
I also noticed the shoulderblade. It should follow the movement of the arm. In that pose it should have a slight swivel.
I'm not a great anatomy artist but this helps...
Nor I'm saying your a bad anatomy artist, but this helps me alot these days.
Good Luck with this!

I just did a new install of WordPress 2.9.1 on DreamHost and the page revisions module doesn't show up. I opened up the screen options on the page I'm editing and the option to select "Page Revisions" isn't there. (Only "Attributes" "Custom Fields" "Discussion" and "Page Slug" appear.) Am I missing something? On other sites I've created with WordPress, I've seen the page revisions. Those were initiated with old versions of WordPress, of course. But they are on the same server, installed in the same manner. So, I'm confused. Does it have anything to do with the new trash feature?
Thanks for any help.

The Room —a low-budget indie melodrama about a love triangle between a "successful banker," his "beautiful blonde fiance" and his "independent best friend" written, directed and starring aspiring filmmaker Tommy Wiseau — has been called everything from the worst film ever made to the Citizen Kaneof bad movies. I've yet to experience it, but the film's trailer brings to mind an overripe episode of Guiding Lightwith the production values and acting prowess of a late-night Cinemax C movie. (Curious side note: On the film's poster, Wiseau looks strikingly similar to Gene Simmons. Coincidence, or kismet?)
Now that Sunday night's Oscars are over, the Internet is full of catty stories and tweets parsing every last second of televised coverage, from Angelina Jolie's exposed leg to Adam Sandler's participation in a taped segment in which actors discussed why they love movies. (If he really loved movies, he'd stop making them, some have said.)
It's both understandable and sad that the Oscars — and movie-award season in general — ends like this, with far more interest in the telecast's trivia than in the movies that win awards. Arguably, the news value of this year's show peaked before it even officially started, when Sacha Baron Cohen, in costume as "The Dictator" for an upcoming movie, spilled an urn of faux human ashes (ostensibly Kim Jong-il's) on interviewer Ryan Seacrest.
It's getting worse, too, now that the Internet and 200+-channel cable television have educated us ad nauseam to the nature and inner workings of the Oscar campaign season. We carefully learn how a film builds momentum by moving through all the secondary award ceremonies from critics groups and the Hollywood professional guilds and associations.
As a result, the Academy Awards themselves have become anticlimactic, which partially explains the media devotion to dissecting the telecast. And the attempts by the Motion Picture Academy to build false enthusiasm by allowing up to ten Best Picture nominees have been a disaster, since we all now know how to "read" the nominations to distinguish the real ones (they also have Best Director nods) from the padding. Not all that long ago, few outside Hollywood insiders even knew there was a well-orchestrated "campaign season," much less how to follow and handicap it.
Convention wisdom, and you hear a lot of it these days, would be to revive the Oscar telecast by de-emphasizing the importance of the awards, themselves. Reduce the number given out on TV, especially the more esoteric or niche ones, in favor of increasing the glitz, spectacle, star power and big production numbers. Do like the Grammys have done, where classical, jazz, folk, blues, opera, international and more are rarely ever presented on the show.
But I think the Academy should go the other way and try to increase public awareness of the importance of Oscar nominations. But maybe not for the Big Four categories – Best Picture, Director, Actor and Actress, which probably do suffer from overexposure by the time the telecast comes around (although The Artist, this year's big winner, could use the help since many people have been scared off by the fact it's a black-and-white silent film).
Click the jump for more on ways the Academy could draw more attention to deserving films such as A Separation, In Darkness, Footnote and Bullhead.
If you're puzzled as to why or how we continue to let our national debt skyrocket out of control, the new documentary I.O.U.S.A is worth checking out as a 90-minute primer on a topic that gets woefully little attention given its impact on the future of our nation.
As a long time Thor fan, this movie has been on my calendar for months. Going into The Avengers I was excited but tried to keep my expectations from getting out of control. Fortunately, I didn't need to do that because the movie is that good. A lot of that credit has to go to writer/director Joss Whedon. Some of you might recognize the name because he created the television shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly.
The movie could have fallen apart from the beginning with so many big characters — both figurative and literally speaking — on screen at once. With Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk taking part in the story, any number of things could have gone wrong. Characters could have been underutilized — having four strong stand alone characters could have made them feel not like a team at all — but in the span of just a few hours, Whedon and company have created a giant leap for comic book fans and movies.
Whedon was the right person for the job because, based on his past work, he knows how to generate great characterization and interaction. He knows how to tell a story through the characters and not through the special effects, which was needed in a situation like this. Whedon, the other writers and the actors were able to make these comic book characters more human, so to speak.
The interactions between Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Captain America (Chris Evans), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Bruce Banner/Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) were some of the best moments in the movie. Some of my favorites were Stark poking Banner to see if he will Hulk up, Thor giving a great one-liner about his brother Loki and Stark verbally sparing with Loki toward the end of the movie.
The story is simple enough: Loki (Tom Hiddleston) wants to take over and rule Earth and the Avengers have to stop him. The major battle doesn't take place until the end of the movie, but then again it does take up the final 30 minutes or so.
With Loki as the main villain in the movie it helps to have seen last year's Thor. It isn't a must to but it does help set up the relationship between Thor and Loki. Watching all of the individual movies helps with understanding some of the character traits in The Avengers, though the last the two Hulk films don't really do much for the character except see him smash through tanks and cities.
While Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and Hulk are the main heroes, there is a strong supporting cast around them. Scarlett Johansson is Agent Romanoff/Black Widow and Jeremy Renner is Agent Barton/Hawkeye, both agents for S.H.I.E.L.D. Clark Gregg returns as S.H.I.E.L.D agent Phil Coulson, and How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders is Agent Hill. The guy who brings all of these characters together is Nick Furry, played by Samuel L. Jackson.
Tom Hiddleston is terrific as Loki. He is sinister, brutal and devious — after all, he is the Norse god of mischief, deceit and lies. I hope he returns in some fashion in the next Thor movie or the next Avengers. Robert Downey Jr. is back to his witty, sarcastic ways and he has some of the best lines in the movie. Mark Ruffalo is able to finally bring some credit to the Bruce Banner/Hulk character.
The Avengers is a great way to kick off the summer movie season. It combines wonderful action sequences, well done comedy and heartfelt drama in the span of 142 minutes. Whedon was a perfect fit for this movie because he understands character and doesn't rely on flashy explosions like some directors. If you like flashy explosions there are a decent amount in The Avengers but there is also some of the best character development/interaction I've seen in a Marvel movie.
Our largely lackluster fall movie season trudges on with five more tepidly received efforts despite the presence of some big-named veteran directors like Clint Eastwood, Barry Levinson, Kevin Smith and the newly single Guy Ritchie.
Here's Ides' official synopsis, the contents of which are readily on display in the tension-laced trailer, which centers heavily on Ryan Gosling's campaign press secretary character:
Terrence Malick's Tree of Life is coming. Or is it?
Like everything the acclaimed 68-year-old filmmaker does, Malick's latest — just his fifth film in 38 years — has gone through a mysterious gestation, changing release dates and distributors numerous times (it was originally slated for a Dec. 25, 2009, release) while simultaneously revealing little about its contents.
It looks like the wait is finally over: I received a package from its current distributor, Fox Searchlight, a few days ago that contained the film's poster and a brief, one-sheet press release announcing that Tree of Life will open in select theaters on May 27.
The antithesis to the bloated, big-budget commercial fare that dominates the summer multiplex, the annual 48 Hour Film Project has done exactly what its creators envisioned when they founded it in 2001: empower filmmakers of every stripe and experience level to get off their asses and create something from nothing.
Everything was fine until John Cusack walked in from the shadows. Don't get me wrong, his movies are some of my favorites and I love his work, but Cusack playing Poe is a strange combination. Maybe they wanted to have the same dark character they saw in Identity. There are a few people that I could see playing Poe. Off the top of my head, Sam Rockwell, Edward Norton and Gary Oldman are three guys who could pull off the dark character that Poe was. At least Cusack resembles Poe in the movie.
Maybe it is just the trailer that turns me off to Cusack filling the boots of the late American poet. In it, Cusack's delivery is dry and stiff. I don't feel any kind mystery that surrounds Poe. Some of his writings are real disturbing when looked at closely, but with Cusack the character appears to be deflated. I guess this hesitation comes from Poe being one of my favorite writers. For all I know, the trailers don't do the movie justice, which I hope is the case. Cusack is known for his obscure roles and disturbed characters, so this is probably a perfect fit.
The premise for the film has been done before, but since it's Edgar Allan Poe it gives the movie somewhat of a different angle. Some man is committing murders based on stories written by Poe, and then Poe has to figure out who the murderer is with the help of Detective Fields played by Luke Evans. If you're worrying about spoilers, don't be — all of that is in the trailer. I think I know who the murderer is already, but it's Hollywood so anything can happen.
Movies based off of literature are good as long as they keep true to the source material. It will be interesting to see what happens with The Raven. It feels like a mixture of the Sherlock Holmes movies and the Johnny Depp picture From Hell. We will all find out on April 27.
Another movie is being released today and me torn as to whether to watch it or not. The idea of a The Three Stooges film has bounced around for years, but now it has finally limped its way to the screen. Leave it to Hollywood to take a beloved comedic classic like the Stooges and churn out a mediocre-looking movie.
There have been many names were attached to this project, including Jim Carrey, Justin Timberlake, Andy Samberg and Paul Giamatti. Actually filling the shoes of the Stooges are Sean Hayes as Larry, Will Sasso as Curly and Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe. To me the only choice that makes sense is Sasso because he made a name for himself with physical comedy on Mad TV.
I'm surprised this is actually a movie, because it just looks horrible. I don't want to watch it but I probably will end up in the theater because the original Stooges are a great gift to slapstick comedy — I'll even give Curly's replacement Shemp a nod and say he wasn't that bad, either. But any movie that incorporates the Jersey Shore should just go straight to DVD.
The tagline for the movie is "Just say Moe" but someone should have told the Farrelly brothers to just say no. They are known for great comedies like Kingpin, There's Something About Mary and Me, Myself & Irene, but their trek into classic slapstick comedy appears to be anything but. As much of a fan as I am of the Stooges I hope I'm wrong with this one, and that at least Will Sasso is just as good as he was on Mad TV.

Gerhard Schøning
Gerhard Schøning (2 May 1722 – 18 July 1780) was a Norwegian historian. His Reise som giennem en Deel af Norge i de Aar 1773, 1774, 1775 paa Hans Majestets Kongens Bekostning documenting travel through Trondheim, Gudbrandsdal and Hedmark, Norway in 1773–1775 has been recognized as both a historical reference and as a "minor travel classic."
Gerhard Schøning was born 2 May 1722 on Skotnes farm in Buksnes, Lofoten, the son of merchant Andreas Schøning and Martha Ursin. His early education was provided by local ministers. He began his formal schooling in 1739 in Trondhjem and in 1742 he began at the university, passing the theology examination in 1744 and the magistrate examination in 1748.[1]
In 1750 he was appointed rector at Trondhjem. His first work Forsøg til de nordiske landes, særdeles Norges, gamle Geografi (Inquiry into the ancient geography of the Nordic countries, particularly that of Norway), was published in 1751. The same year he became rector of Trondheim Cathedral School. He traveled there together with the Danish historian Peter Frederik Suhm, with whom he continued to collaborate over the following years. Together they produced Forbedringer til den gamle danske og norske Historie (Improvements to the old Danish-Norwegian History) in 1757.[1]
In 1758 Bishop Johan Ernst Gunnerus of Trondhjem invited the two historians to collaborate with him in founding a Norwegian science society, the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters. In 1765 Schøning was appointment as professor of rhetoric and history at the Sorø Academy. He published Om de gamle Grækeres og Romeres Kundskab om de nordiske Lande (About the Ancient Greek and Roman knowledge of the Nordic countries) in 1769, which became a prelude to his main work, Norges Riiges Historie (The History of the Kingdom of Norway), the first volume of three that were planned was published in 1771. This work dealt with Norway's history from the earliest times up until 995, advancing theories about early migrations into Norway.[2]
As part of his research to support later volumes of this work, he set off on an extended journey to collect data in Norway. He received travel support from the King Christian VII of Denmark, and spent several years beginning in 1773 traveling in Trondhjem, Gudbrandsdal, Hedmark and Christiania. The result of these journeys was his famous travel journal Reise som giennem en Deel af Norge i de Aar 1773, 1774, 1775 paa Hans Majestets Kongens Bekostning (Travel through a part of Norway in the years of 1773, 1774, 1775 at His Majesty the King's Expense), of which only the first two volumes were published in 1778. His research journey was interrupted on 23 August in 1775 when the king appointed him the head of the Royal Archives in Copenhagen. He died 18 July 1780. His work on an improved Norwegian history went uncompleted.[1]
In 1756 Schøning married Fredrikke Hveding, who died in 1788; the marriage was childless.[1]
