Perhaps that sounds a little apocalyptic. Still, I was cleaning out my sidebar yesterday, evicting all the inactive blogs (several), the disappeared blogs (a couple), and the blogs that no longer interested me particularly (because they had changed topics or were simply repeating themselves). Which led me to contemplate the phenomenon of blog referrals, or the lack thereof. At this point, most of the incoming links to my blog are not from other bloggers--they come from Twitter and, on occasion, Facebook. (Even people who have blogs, I've noticed, will link to me via Twitter, not on their own blog.) Links that do originate from blogs tend to come from only a handful of sites, especially Crooked Timber and Ferule and Fescue; in addition, people arriving from Twitter tend to respond there (something Adam Kotsko has also noted). I would guess that that's also true of Facebook--all the more frustrating for the innocent blogger, because those conversations are completely invisible 99.99% of the time. Moreover, because many people now read blogs via feeds rather than just randomly wandering by, the site stats now go through a series of spikes and declines depending on whether or not I've posted something. One does not, that is, get the sense that readers are browsing.
Theoretical discussions of interdisciplinarity are all very well, I keep thinking, but it's the practical aspects that concern me. For example: time. One cannot simply waltz into another discipline and cheerily appropriate whatever scholarship comes conveniently to hand (especially if said scholarship does a fine job of confirming all your own preconceptions). Are there invisible scholarly kerfuffles at play? Equally invisible political/theological/methodological/etc. biases at work? What about the visible ones? (In religion and literature studies, these can require some tap-dancing. Or finessing, if one has two left feet.) And then the questions one has to learn to ask--it's not interdisciplinary if the frameworks all emerge from one's home discipline.
Interdisciplinarity is a fluid state, in any event. Right now, I'm working on an article about an extremely important Victorian religious periodical that, in practice, nobody wants to read (that's the story of my intellectual life, really). It looks like it's going to be a straight-up intellectual history piece, with no literary critics anywhere in the sources (well, unless Mary Poovey gets in there); the relevant context lies in ecclesiastical history and the history of the social sciences. But I also have an article coming out next year that is straight close reading of fiction, and another circulating that does the same thing. The readers of this article might think I'm a historian; the readers of the other two might think I'm a literary critic. And anyone who reads my most recent article, which is in film studies, might be confused by the rest of my CV.
Things Google Scholar doesn't understand:
1) People misspelling your name. (There's no "n" in the middle of Burstein. I know this. Google knows this. Other academics do not always know this.)
2) Random stuff missing from one's bibliography. (Several of my publications can be found in Google Scholar...just not anywhere in my citation list.)
3) Book citations. (Google may be scanning everything in sight, but their ability to identify citations in books continues to be, er, terrible.)
4) Citations to blog posts. (That "Rules for Writing Neo-Victorian Novels" post? Has a lot of citations. Some of them to me by name. [Incidentally, this is not an anonymous blog; if you're going to cite one of my posts, please use my name, not "Little Professor."] Google Scholar apparently doesn't think of these as "publications," all use to the contrary.)
5) The existence of multiple editions of one novel. (There's more than one edition of Robert Elsmere out there! Really!)
After reading this postmodern contribution to contemporary discourse on the state of higher education, I believe that it's time for me to pitch a few ideas to IHE. To clarify matters, of course, I will identify the allegorical correspondences between my columns' ostensible subjects and their real meanings.
Literary critics tend to think in terms of texts and the intensive critical analysis thereof, despite interventions such as Franco Moretti's "distant reading." As I've argued here and in Book Two, though, many of the standard tools in our theoretical kit falter when faced with obviously religious works: it's one thing to analyze, say, George Eliot's constructions of modern Jewish identity in Daniel Deronda, and another to read Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna's evangelical philosemitic novel Judah's Lion, a novel in which it's considered rather charming for a child to address the Jewish protagonist as "Mr. Jew." Erin Smith's What Would Jesus Read? Popular Religious Books and Everyday Life in Twentieth-Century America tackles this problem head-on by examining how readers used a range of religious texts, from Charles Sheldon's In His Steps to Elaine Pagels' The Gnostic Gospels. As her subtitle suggests, the book is not primarily interested in professional "close, attentive 'readings' of these texts" (loc. 5125), but instead in the range of ways in which American readers--more specifically, "white Protestants" (loc. 201)--mobilized these texts as religious practice. It thus joins such recent works as Lynn Neal's Romancing God (2006), Crawford Gribben's Writing the Rapture (2009), Yoel Finkelman's Strictly Kosher Reading (2011), and Valerie Weaver-Zercher's The Thrill of the Chaste (2013), among others, as an attempt to understand the multiplicity of ways in which texts written for popular audiences attempted to construct their readers and were appropriated in turn (sometimes wandering far off the paths the authors intended). At the same time, the texts themselves are not the study's primary focus; the reading strategies are.
Unlike most work on popular religious texts, WWJR? emphasizes nonfiction, although some novels put in an appearance; nevertheless, one of the book's primary takeaways is that popular reading practices tended to collapse the fiction/nonfiction distinction. Thus, readers of Sheldon's In His Steps were, ideally, inspired to concrete action in much the same way as later readers of Bruce Barton's The Man Nobody Knows found "immediate relevance" (loc. 2220) for their own lives in Barton's interpretation of Christ's nature. In other words, Smith demonstrates over and over that readers wanted to--in the terminology that sends English professors everywhere up the wall--relate. Following Amy Johnson Frykholm, Smith describes this as the "life-application method," which involves "seeking a 'take-home lesson' for everyday life rather than placing passages of scripture in their historical context or examining competing interpretations" (loc. 316). Smith identifies this reading strategy as part of these texts' frequent claim to "middlebrow" status, along with their methods of distribution (book clubs, for example), overt and sometimes innovative commercialism, and address to the audience. For this reason, Smith rarely offers close readings of texts, although she certainly lays out their central arguments; she is on most familiar ground from a literary-critical POV in the later chapters, in which she analyzes how authors like Thomas Moore and Karen Armstrong participate in the kind of postmodern capitalist project they claim to critique. Mostly, though, she focuses on various forms of critical reception (poor Martin Marty, a representative elite reader, has a hard time of it). As Smith explains in regards to one popular religious novel, "[t]he truth/fiction distinction was simply not useful when one's purpose for reading was a deep, emotional identification rather than a scholarly, contemplative distance"; moreover, the rhetoric of these texts makes us "feel as though we have made contact with a single, distinctive mind" (locs. 2045-81). This is not to say that "truth" has no purchase, as Smith's description of participating in a UU discussion group about The Da Vinci Code demonstrates; rather, this mode of reading appropriates texts without respect to genre.
To step back a moment, one of the core points of Smith's project is, as she argues more than once, that analyzing the text is insufficient to garner its political import. In keeping with her emphasis on "lived religion"--that is, the study of "what people do rather than what they are urged to think by religious leaders" (loc. 159)--Smith locates a text's politics in its multiple appropriations by readers, not in the text itself. This is not to say that the text is irrelevant, as many of the books under discussion were, as Smith says of In His Steps, characterized by "theological emptiness" (loc. 930). Such "emptiness," in which denominational shibboleths were minimized and Biblicism was maximized, was both a sales technique (one doesn't have to worry about the Baptists and Primitive Methodists battling it out) and, we could add, a means of imagining a unified Protestant community into being. (Nineteenth-century Protestant fiction, for example, tends to do something very similar--RTS publications, for example, are meant to appeal to a wide range of Protestant readers, not just Anglicans or what-have-you.) Emptiness, however, can be filled, and thus enables the widest range of interpretations.
For a Victorianist, though, it can be harder to identify a useful range of reader responses to popular religious texts. Smith draws on correspondence, reviews (professional and Amazon), and, at the end, her own interviews. Moreover, it's also the case that she's working with big bestsellers that left considerable paper trails in the form of publisher's archives, trade advertisements and negotiations, newspaper reports, and so forth. We, alas, don't have Amazon. More seriously, we often don't have correspondence. Many authors wrote anonymously and/or left no records; moreover, as I have mentioned here before, most of the major religious publishers have themselves left no archival traces (whether because they were dispersed, sold, lost, or, like a number of texts themselves, bombed out during the Blitz). Readers for whom we do have readily-available correspondence and diaries--Gladstone, say--are not necessarily what you would call representative. (A lot of the systematically-garnered information we have, such as that discussed in Jonathan Rose's important The Intellectual Life of the British Working Classes, actually dates from late in the century.) There is the Reading Experience Database. What else? It's possible to trace "use" via the correspondence columns of religious periodicals--for example, there are references to Historical Tales for Young Protestants and Father Clement being distributed as proselytizing tools. Newspaper correspondence, similarly. Novelists themselves sometimes puffed each other: evangelical girls might be told to read Grace Aguilar in order to learn about Jews, for example, and some writers drew up mini reading lists of likeminded texts. At the very least, Smith reminds us that relying on the equivalent of "Silly Novels by Lady Novelists" gives us only a very partial picture of audience reception.
The question of the "representative" comes up in another way, however. Smith is quite open about the racial and religious boundaries of her project--white Protestants, often middle-class, frequently male. But given how dominant women are in popular religious authorship--Smith reports that in the 1970s, "[o]f hardcover bestsellers, 90 percent were authored by women" (4618-42)--one would have liked to see more of them than in their cameo appearance at the end (Pagels, Armstrong, Norris). Similarly, I was interested in a) to what extent minority readers (race, gender, religion, etc.) responded to any of the texts under discussion and b) how the religious publishing industry dealt with texts by authors who weren't white/male/Protestant&c. Scholarship on romance reading, for example (e.g., Susan Ostrov Weisser), has noted that African-American women are an important market; what about for religious texts like these? One of the scholarly difficulties with studying a majority is that you inadvertently replicate its intellectual contours and dead-ends in your own work, so that we unintentionally write histories of anti-Catholicism with no Catholics, or of anti-Semitism (or philosemitism, for that matter) with no Jews.
Victorian religious fiction is full of teensy-tiny subgenres, one of which is the Anglican sisterhood novel (with or without explicit reference to Priscilla Lydia Sellon), which, for obvious reasons, tends to overlap with the convent tale. The Sister of Mercy: A Tale for the Times We Live In (1854), which is not actually about a Sister of Mercy (but is mercifully short), picks up on most of the conventions: there are devious Anglo-Catholics who lie; the sisters experience and deploy low-level psychological abuse; and the local Anglo-Catholic clergy have a habit of sitting around discussing their evil deeds in great detail. Plus confession and angst about Bible-reading. That being said, this novel's narrative form deviates from expectations.
The plot is simple. Lady Agatha Tempest (oh look, a symbolic last name) is a Beautiful and Silly Woman of the World, unlike her cousin Millicent, who is an Angel married to a stern Dissenter (it's not clear what kind). Ernest, Lady Agatha's brother, is an Anglo-Catholic priest, and he exemplifies an attitude to female spirituality that the novel is out to denounce: when Agatha asks him why it is important for her to come to confession, but not her husband, Ernest weakly insists that "[t]his is a matter [...] you can hardly understand at present" (7), a demand for absolute, unquestioning submission that the narrative insists is neither Protestant nor English. Once Lady Agatha's husband dies, however, she begins to hang out with a sisterhood, intending to join them, even though she has insuperable difficulties with the horrors she encounters when doing philanthropic or nursing work. Eventually, though, she finds herself feeling strained between her love for the now-dying Millicent (of course) and her loyalty to her brother, despite discovering that her brother has ignored her husband's express last wishes (oh, dear).
What, then, is unexpected? Simply that the narrative does not resolve. Under normal narrative conditions, we would expect one of the following to occur after Millicent's death:
1) Agatha converts whole-heartedly to Protestantism, takes back her property from the eeeevil Anglo-Catholics, and saves her tenants from their depradations. The Anglo-Catholic Archdeacon and her converted Roman Catholic brother are disgraced (death optional).
2) Agatha does not convert, and therefore dies in misery, with all her property in the hands of one Catholic church or another.
3) Agatha does convert, but on her deathbed, thereby converting her remorseful brother as well.
...or something of the sort.
But we don't see any of these options. Instead, here's the final paragraph in its entirety: "And the world woke up, and went its way, for another day had begun: and hour after hour, overhead, Agatha heard the heavy, unceasing tread, which spoke of the strong man's struggle" (175-176). The ending emphasizes, first, the disjunction between Cameron's anguish and the apparent irrelevance of Millicent's death to the larger world; second, and immediately connected to that, sheer repetition. Cameron works out his pain by pacing endlessly, while hours and days tick on, one after another. The ending suspends us in a form of movement that feels like stasis. Significantly, there is no sign that Agatha has undergone any transformational conversion experience at Millicent's deathbed. Indeed, there is no resolution to her plot at all, leaving the reader as suspended as the characters: will she continue her resistance to the Archdeacon, now that she understands his deceit, or will she give in? Will she stop reading her husband's marginalia in his copy of the Bible, or move on to reading the Biblical verses themselves? Will she become a good mistress of the estate, or leave the tenants to continue suffering? The novel's open-ended conclusion is, I think, political. One of the traditional justifications for the religious novel was that it clarified the workings of providence; here, though, the author deliberately leaves the reader in the same sort of mental muddle as Lady Agatha, struggling to make the right choice despite insufficient education, competing ties of affection, and anxieties about the nature of truth. Just how much clarity does a deathbed scene bring, under these circumstances? "The times we live in," the novel suggests, have muddied the spiritual waters too much to make God's truths evident to women like Lady Agatha.
While reading through the horror stories of Oliver Onions, I pulled up a bit at one of his lesser-known tales, "Hic Jacet: A Tale of Artistic Conscience." The story is one of several that Onions devoted to the perils of artistic production, whether High Art or Commercial--Onions tends to draw the line rather sharply between the financially-successful hacks, in whatever form, and the impecunious true artists. In some of the stories, this binary is also gendered, as in his most famous story, "The Beckoning Fair One" (the female journalist, who repeatedly acknowledges her inferiority, vs. the serious male novelist), as well as in "Resurrection in Bronze" (the wife whose magazine writing pays the bills vs. the serious male sculptor). To say that women "get in the way" in these and other stories is not quite right: in the two stories just mentioned, for example, the women are either in the right ("The Beckoning Fair One") or have a genuine point ("Resurrection in Bronze"), and the male artists, far from being on idealized, romantic quests for artistic achievement, are often cruel, violent, or sometimes just utterly misguided. (The one authentic woman artist, in "The Painted Face," is also represented as problematic: she's a sort of female Lord Henry from The Picture of Dorian Grey.) Onions' stories do seem to argue, though, that dedication to High Art is incompatible with the call of flesh and family, a point made most brutally in "Resurrection in Bronze," where, in a stark reversal of the Pygmalion legend, the wife winds up entombed in her husband's masterpiece. (Onions likes Pygmalion allusions--"The Beckoning Fair One," "The Real People," and "Benlian" also play around with it.)
What's interesting about "Hic Jacet," though, is that the narrator bears a suspicious resemblance to an actual famous author. The story is simple: Harrison, our narrator, is a successful short-story writer who writes for the "gaping public" (360). His old (albeit ex- ) friend, a Polish Jew named Andriaovsky, was an unsuccessful but genuinely gifted painter. As the story begins, Andriaovsky has just died, and his sister asks Harrison to write his biography, as Harrison had indeed once agreed to do; Harrison's difficulties with the task form the meat of the story, especially insofar as he appears to be haunted by Andriaovsky's self-portrait, which may or may not be alive. In the end, Harrison reveals that all of his work on Andriaovsky's memoir has produced...his next set of popular stories--"my own condemnation," he ruefully acknowledges (387). Ah, but what are these short stories? Harrison is the "creator of Martin Renard, the famous and popular detective" (360), whose cases are serialized in a magazine called the Falchion. He admits that Martin Renard has become rather stifling. Indeed, "I have tried to kill Martin Renard. He was killing me. I have, in the pages of the Falchion, actually killed him; but I have had to resurrect him. I cannot escape from him..." (380). Now, that sounds transparently familiar: it's Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes.
This is not to say that Harrison can be collapsed into Doyle, only that Onions alludes to Doyle in order to suggest how the shape of a commercial career might become Gothic in its own right. Although Harrison is not literally pursued by this figment of his imagination, as characters are in "The Beckoning Fair One" and "The Real People," the undead Martin Renard implacably invades every nook and cranny of his creator's imagination. Early on, Harrison assures us that "[t]he moment the public showed that it wanted something better I was prepared to give it" (361), but the story's outcome suggests that once the artist suits his work to popular demands--"Compromise" (367)--he can never return to the path of high art. Andriaovsky, Harrison notes in passing, was revolted "when a good man, for money, has consented to modify and emasculate his work" (369), and the gendered imagery here implies that the work, once figuratively unmanned, can never again achieve its full strength--its virility. (I did mention that Onions associates high art with masculinity...) Harrison, in Andriaovsky's eyes the creator of unmanly art, has, he admits, "sinned" (371), and tries to take refuge in the fact that he has never tried to do anything better (372). But, having wholly embraced his role as a producer of pop-culture pablum, he discovers that he is, as it were, damned. The final sections of the story are loaded with Biblical imagery--redemption, angels, sin--all of which prove totally useless in the teeth of Andriaovsky's posthumous condemnation. Having served Mammon, the writer finds that there is no way back to God.
For obvious reasons, I didn't feel like reading an already-digitized book while I was in the British Library--the whole point being to go to the British Library to read otherwise-inaccessible books--so I Googled each title before calling it up. (Yes, this took a while.) This led to a somewhat unexpected chain of events:
1) In the USA, I had already searched a bunch of titles and found no sign that they enjoyed a free existence.
2) In the UK, I searched some of these titles again, and...there they were in GoogleBooks. Say what?
3) Back in the USA, on a lark I began looking up some books I had found available on Amazon in facsimile form, and which had not cropped up in GoogleBooks (or archive.org, or HathiTrust) when I searched in the UK. And there they are.
Bear in mind that most of these books bring up only one or two pages of results--we're not talking about combing through thousands, hundreds, or even dozens of hits. I didn't overlook them; they just weren't there. It's possible that Google "learned" my preferences, but surely it could have brought up an item it hosts the first time around?
Moreover, I've also found that some books cannot be searched via GoogleBooks at all; you have to use the regular Google search function. To take a minor example: GoogleBooks pulls up volumes one and three of Mrs. O'Shea Dillon's triple-decker Dark Rosaleen. Where's volume 2? (You know, the middle of the book?) It turns out you can get it on Google Play or at the French GoogleBooks--but not at the American or English GoogleBooks sites!

Letters: The Independent's new look
These letters were published in The Independent on Friday 8th November
I have to congratulate you on the new design of The Independent. The paper is showing its class with the vertical masthead and the new fonts. Fantastic.
Jack Cockin, Gauldry, Fife
Just beautiful – well done! The new masthead, the typography, the airy layout, just gorgeous, and reminiscent of the impact of the original launch. On a detail, less sure about the byline illustrations, but if the owners of the faces are happy . . .
Ian Bartlett, East Molesey, Surrey
This morning I went to read The Independent, as I have done almost every day since it was launched. I picked up this strange new neutral, colourless paper and found that the print was so pale I could not read it at all.
My eyes have not deteriorated overnight. It seems you have not taken into account that contrast is as important as print size for reading. Please give us back the old clear print.
Janice Bardwell, Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire
Yes, I like it, mostly. The font is a little strange, but I will get used to that. I was so excited to see "Section 2" was going to be there again. At last we can share the paper properly, I thought. But no, it isn't a bit that can be taken out and still make sense. Is this too difficult to do?
Sue Stennett, Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire
Nice new design – but why only give one paragraph on page 36 to the latest news on carbon-dioxide levels, the most important factor affecting the future of our planet?
Victor Anderson, London SE23
See, you can do it! At last, a proper grown-up Independent, instead of a mad, hyperactive kid. I'm feeling calmer already. Please keep it up.
Don Thomson, London W13
William Haines, Shrewsbury
Immigrants don't place unjustified demands
We need immigration to help reduce our cost base, both for manufacturing and services. Anything that reduces costs, whether by efficiency or low rates of pay, will improve our competitiveness.
The alternative is to export these manufacturing processes and services to other countries. By retaining or winning business through lower cost competitiveness other UK businesses benefit.
The claim that immigrants place unjustified demands on our infrastructure is unfair. They are supporting that infrastructure, especially in the NHS. Their demands are less and contribution greater because they are younger than the indigenous population. Aside from the economic benefits they are also bringing extra dimensions to our culture, just as previous migrants did.
It is also unfair to say that they are destroying British customs, values and language. When Brits retire or work abroad we either make no attempt or half-hearted ones to learn the language and customs. Immigrants quickly learn English. All right, perhaps immigrants need to learn one of our values – good old British hypocrisy.

Where is the plan for shipbuilding?
Last year the Royal Navy placed a £452m order with a South Korean firm for four fuel tankers. UK firms bid but were unsuccessful in winning the order. It is inconceivable that the governments of many other countries would have permitted such a thing.
Each time it happens we are told that the winning bid was the most competitive. Never taken into account are the costs to the taxpayer of the unemployment that follows a large-scale shut-down or redundancy programme and the damage to a range of manufacturing industries.
We will always need ships. The depressing news of the end of shipbuilding in Portsmouth will not be the last unless successive governments decide to invest in a long-term plan to keep and improve a shipbuilding capability in the UK.
Instead of bickering about who got our country into this mess, we need a cross-party initiative to plan our way back. Chances with today's politicians? Close to zero.
Patrick Mill, Ryde, Isle of Wight
Cameron says unemployment in the Portsmouth shipyard is in the national interest. IDS says the unemployed are shirking scroungers. Does anyone in this government really know what they are doing, or why?
Martin London, Henllan, Denbighshire
Mercenary and selfish schools
The failure of so many academies to support other schools (report, 6 November) lends credence to those of us who have opposed academisation and its impoverishing, destabilising effects on education.
Very many schools converted to academy status for selfish and mercenary reasons, to protect or even enhance their budgets at a time of financial stringency. They took the Government's 30 pieces of silver without regard to how their actions would affect their "weaker brethren". As the Select Committee implies, they need to atone.
Professor Colin Richards, Spark Bridge, Cumbria
Parents are being encouraged by Ofsted to send children to "school" at two years of age. Presumably this is to enrol them as "performance data points" at the earliest opportunity?
I do not see any evidence that the current government's education policy is based on nourishing the development of the child as an independent, critical thinking individual – rather, the policy is one of labelling as "success" or "failure" a child and his/her school. Should we not be focusing our professional educators on honing their analytical and supportive skills so that "they make the tiny adjustments which can release the genius in any child" (Albert Einstein)?
Professor Bill Boyle, University of Manchester
Not talking about men
My two daughters set off to school this morning determined to identify the one scene in all the Harry Potter films where two women talk to each other about something other than a man ("X-rated means not enough women", 7 November).
Thanks for the challenge – don't publish the result before giving the nation's children a chance to rise to the challenge.

While we don't promote sun worshipping—premature aging! Increased risk of skin cancer!—we do wholeheartedly support getting enough vitamin D. The vitamin is especially essential for your complexion; it's responsible for replenishing your skin's hydration, boosting elasticity, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, and correcting sun damage and dark spots. Thankfully, Masqueology's Advance 7D Solution delivers a satisfying dose of the vitamin in the form of its ultra-lightweight moisturizer. We love how the formula sinks in immediately and the handy syringe-like applicator makes targeting stubborn fine lines a breeze.
Had a heck of a time getting to the product inside the syringe! I did like the product, but can't really comment on it's overall effectiveness due to the small sample size. I was impressed that it is made in Korea because in my opinion, the Korean's are way ahead of everyone else in regards to skincare.4

Rec Yourself
Sunburned, hungover, and sporting a few scrapes on your backside? Busted, dude. Youve been tubing down the Salt.
A summertime staple, Salt River Tubing and Recreation offers two, three, and five-hour trips down the mountain-stream waters of the Lower Salt River rapids in Tonto National Forest. While those looking for a relaxing drift with Mother Nature are best advised to tube weekdays, the partying set knows that weekends on the Salt are a floating party barge, where bikinis, alcohol, screaming, splashing, and a jam-packed waterway are part of the glide-along good time.
Along with a cooler filled with water and goodies, make sure to bring plenty of sunscreen, water shoes, a sheet or towel to drape the tube; and lift that ass high and proud when you hit the low water levels.

Ashford Stud, a division of Coolmore located near Versailles, Ky., released its 2008 stud fees Nov. 1. The list includes Fusaichi Pegasus , who is seeing another significant drop, Van Nistelrooy, with a sizeable jump, and a fee announced for new stallion Scat Daddy.
Fusaichi Pegasus (by Mr. Prospector) will stand next year for $45,000. The stallion stood for $75,000 this year after standing for $150,000 in 2005 and $125,000 in 2006.
Van Nistelrooy, by Storm Cat, is the third-ranked freshman sire by progeny earnings (nearly $1.2 million) and leads the group by stakes winners, with six. His fee will rise from $7,500 to $25,000.
Scat Daddy, who was retired because of a slight tendon injury suffered in an unplaced effort in the May 5 Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I), will stand his first season for $30,000. The 3-year-old son of Johannesburg retired with five wins from nine races and earnings of $1,334,300. He won this year's Florida Derby (gr. I) and Fountain of Youth Stakes (gr. I), and last year captured the Champagne (gr. I) and Sanford (gr. II) Stakes.
Giant's Causeway will stand in 2008 for $125,000. His fee this year was listed as private but he stood for $300,000 in 2006. The fee for Thunder Gulch dropped from $30,000 to $20,000.
Those stallions that saw no change in their fees are: Chapel Royal, $10,000; Grand Slam, $35,000; Johannesburg, $65,000; Royal Academy, $15,000; and Tale of the Cat , $37,500.
The others and their 2008 fees: Dehere, $17,500 ($20,000 in 2007); Lion Heart, $20,000 ($25,000); and Powerscourt, $7,500 ($10,000).

The Killers- Midnight Show Lyrics
The Killers- Midnight Show Lyrics
I know what you want
I wanna take you a midnight show tonight
If you can keep a secret
I got a blanket in the back seat on my mind
And a little place that sits beneath the sky
She turned her face to speak
But no-one heard her cry
Drive faster, boy
Drive faster, boy
I know there's a hope
There's too many people trying to help me cope
You got a real short skirt
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah yeah
We were just in time
Let me take a little more off your mind
There's something in my head
Somewhere in the back said
We were just a good thing
We were such a good thing
Make it go away without a word
But promise me you'll stay
And fix these things I've hurt
Oh make it go away!
Drive faster, boy
Drive faster, boy
Oh crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls
I took my baby's breath beneath the chandelier
Of stars in atmosphere
And watch her disappear
Into the midnight show…
Oh faster, faster, faster…
Oh no no no no no…
If you keep a secret
Well baby… you can keep a secret
If you keep a secret…

by Elton John
- Record Label: Capitol
- Release Date: Sep 24, 2013
- Summary: Produced by T-Bone Burnett, the first solo album in over seven years for the pop singer-songwriter is a return to the more stripped down sound of his earlier career built around a piano, bass and drums.
- Record Label: Capitol
- Genre(s): Singer/Songwriter, Adult Contemporary, Pop/Rock, Adult Alternative Pop/Rock, Contemporary Pop/Rock, Album Rock, Rock & Roll, Soft Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 17 out of 24
Mixed: 6 out of 24
Negative: 1 out of 24
Sep 13, 2013The singer has matched Bernie Taupin's best crop of lyrics for years with his own most emotively apt melodies to produce a collection that both harks back to the intrigues and interests of his earliest recordings, yet manages to break new ground, quite an achievement for an artist in his sixth decade.
Sep 24, 2013The Diving Board succeeds where the others did not. It does so by putting John's piano and voice front and center, offering memorable melodies, and scraping off the production glop to reveal again the musician, the vocalist, the emotional artist still alive under John's shiny shell of professional fabulousness.
Sep 12, 2013The Diving Board is an adult affair, but impressive enough to explore, and reinforces Elton's continuing creative renaissance.
Oct 23, 2013Yes aging is difficult but Elton and Bernie seem to be making a good job of it. [Oct 2013, p.91]
Sep 23, 2013He's no Marcel Proust, but full credit for producing what's an unusually thoughtful album in contemporary pop music terms. Even if it is a bit morbid.
Sep 24, 2013The Diving Board feels like an album made by somebody who's spent the last few years performing the same set list night after night in Vegas.

Check your Tommy Guns, because if you liked the first Public Enemies trailer, this second trailer definitely has our hopes up for the best bank robber movie to come out in years.
The Pet Shop Boys were hip before most of us had lips, but their tenth album Yes is their strongest outing since 1993's Very; it's an evolutionary mix of pop songs and slower ballads.
RipNAS' Statement is meant to be seen but not heard: it's the world's first SSD CD ripping NAS packed in a gorgeous case which is virtually silent; choose from SSD and HDD flavors.
Costa Mesa-based Sabre Shades' Madrids are a funky remix: they're based on Aviators with bronze faded lens but feature angular lines and a Tortoise-style, see-through acetate frame.
NSFW: NYC improv team Greg & Lou had us in bloody stitches with Wolverine's Claws Suck, which shows in gory detail the pitfalls of having Adamantium claws minus the healing.
Like a real caddy but minus the grumbling, Shadow Caddy is a robotic cart that follows you via a transmitter on your belt; object detection prevents collisions with objects and other golfers.
Forthright but with a dash of style, the Julius is a top-loading large shoulder bag made with washed lambskin and lined with cotton; it also features snap closures and multiple pockets.
Endless Zombie Rampage 2 improves over its predecessor with new weapons, perks and missions; the zombies are easy, at least until they start spitting blood at you and exploding.
Vestal is best known for their vintage-style watches, but they their hats cut a mean profile too: the Fitzpatrick Fedora features a sweet all-over Amp print; also available as a Military Cap.
First we saw Manhattan 400 years ago, and now it's horizonless: this poster of Manhattan reminds us of Halo, but it's actually a curved 3D projection that allows us to see over obstacles.
Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is lookin' mighty fine with this Southern Hospitality trailer; it's a weapon-tastic extravaganza, from gatling guns and TNT to rapid-fire queued shooting.
Few people spend more time on the streets than delivery drivers, so this Reebok Courier Pack is a fitting tribute; four Sir Jam Mids get colorways inspired by DHL, TNT, UPS and FedEx.
Acer finally drops official pictures for the Aspire One 751, above; the 11.6″ barely-a-netbook features an Atom 1.3GHz Z520, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, and weighs just under 3 lbs.
While influenza of any type is a nasty little bugger, this visualization of H1N1/Swine Flu makes it look surprisingly beautiful, with mutated viruses exploding from respiratory epithelial cells.
It's probably not the best idea to build your fortress like a deck of cards, but this Castle-themed House of Cards puts all your kings, queens and jokers in their proper place–on the inside.
Short but sweet, Dutch West's Dinesta is a funny take on those annoying prescription ads; personally, we'd be up for taking any drugs whose side effects include seeing imaginary dinos.
Nothing appeals more to geeks than a swiss army knife, so this Geek Army Knife tee is a match, a Thundercats sword, lightsaber, MIB Noisy Cricket and Star Trek phaser made in heaven.
They may wear Roman headgear, but Overlord II's mischievous gremlins act more like rampaging Barbarians in this Minion Maximus trailer; hell, they even club a baby seal at 1:05.
Celebrate 10 years of collaboration between LEGO and Star Wars: any order placed at LEGOshop.com on 5/3 and 5/4 will get a free, limited edition poster with 160 minifigures.
Above: District 9 finally gets a teaser trailer; based on 2005 short film Alive in Joburg, it's being produced by LOTR's Peter Jackson and tells the story of alien refugees in South Africa.
Inspired by the Pamplona's Running of the Bulls, these Air Jordan 5 Toro Bravos come in two colorways; black represents the bulls, while red represents the bandanas of the runners.
New at Glennz: his witty vector art is making the jump from tees to laptops, with 24 skins that fit 13″, 14″, 15″ and 17″ notebook lids; they're all priced the same, regardless of the size.
Its ergonomics leave something to be desired, but this concept NES mouse makes up for it with pure nostalgic value; it was done for a school project, so a real controller is unlikely.

U. of Arizona Law School Loses Students, Cuts Tuition
April 8, 2013
The University of Arizona has announced an 11 percent cut in tuition for in-state residents and an 8 percent cut for out-of-state residents -- even as most other students at the university will be paying 3 percent more next year. The Arizona Daily Star reported that the press release said that the cuts were "part of the college's larger plan to help students manage law school costs." But the newspaper noted what was left out of the press release: Enrollment of first-year students dropped 14 percent last fall, and applications are down 35 percent since 2005.

1. Sort your scraps and cut your strips of paper to 1/4". What I like to do is actually cut narrow pieces to this size as I craft. I then put them in envelope as I go and every couple of months I dump out the envelope and make a stack of these backgrounds. The best tool to do this with is a small paper trimmer. Large paper trimmers can make it hard to see 1/4" and it is too difficult to maintain consistent widths and straight edges with scissors.

A wheelchair is a chair with wheels, designed to be a replacement for walking. The device comes in variations where it is propelled by motors or by the seated occupant turning the rear wheels by hand. Often there are handles behind the seat for someone else to do the pushing. Wheelchairs are used by people for whom walking is difficult or impossible due to illness (physiological or physical), injury, or disability. People with both sitting and walking disability often need to use a wheelbench.
The earliest records of wheeled furniture was an inscription found on a stone slate in China and a child's bed depicted in a frieze on a Greek vase, both dating back to the 6th century B.C.E. The first records of wheeled seats being used for transporting the disabled date to three centuries later in China; the Chinese used their invented wheelbarrow to move people as well as heavy objects. A distinction between the two functions was not made for another several hundred years, around 525 C.E., when images of wheeled chairs made specifically to carry people begin to occur in Chinese art.
Wrestling is a form of combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two (occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position. There are a wide range of styles with varying rules with both traditional historic and modern styles. Wrestling techniques have been incorporated into other martial arts as well as military hand-to-hand combat systems.
The term wrestling is attested in late Old English, as wræstlunge (glossing palestram).
Wrestling is one of the oldest forms of combat with references to it as early as the Iliad, in which Homer recounts the Trojan War in the 13th or 12th century BC. The origins of wrestling can be traced back 15,000 years through cave drawings in France. Babylonian and Egyptian relief's show wrestlers using most of the holds known to the present-day sport. In ancient Greece, wrestling occupied a prominent place in legend and literature; wrestling competition, brutal in many aspects, was the number one sport of the Olympic Games. The ancient Romans borrowed heavily from Greek wrestling, but eliminated much of its brutality.
A federation (Latin: foedus, foederis, 'covenant'), also known as a federal state, is a type of sovereign state characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions united by a central (federal) government. In a federation, the self-governing status of the component states is typically constitutionally entrenched and may not be altered by a unilateral decision of the central government.
The form of government or constitutional structure found in a federation is known as federalism. It can be considered the opposite of another system, the unitary state. Germany with sixteen Länder is an example of a federation, whereas neighboring Austria and its Bundesländer was a unitary state with administrative divisions that became federated, and neighboring France by contrast has always been unitary.
Federations may be multi-ethnic and cover a large area of territory (eg.India), although neither is necessarily the case. The initial agreements create a stability that encourages other common interests, brings the disparate territories closer, and gives them all even more common ground. At some time this is recognized and a movement is organized to merge more closely. Other times, especially when common cultural factors are at play such as ethnicity and language, some of these steps in this pattern are expedited and compressed.
