Sanchez on the mend for Jets
Posted by Gary Dzen, Boston.com Staff January 12, 2011 05:52 PM
"No, not at all," insisted Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez. "I have a ton of respect for him. I think he's one of the best in the league."
Sanchez said he had no reaction to cornerback Antonio Cromartie's comments about Brady.
"I'm just worried about their defense," he said.
Sanchez, who hurt his right (throwing) shoulder against the Steelers last month, was back in full gear yesterday.
"Honestly, it feels felt the best it's felt in three or four weeks," he reported. "I was full practice today for the first time in a while, and that was huge.

McConnell Backs Earmark BanNovember 15, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell [R, KY] has reversed course and will now back Sen. Jim DeMint's [R, SC] earmark moratorium for the 112th Congress. A vote on banning earmarks will be held privately in the GOP conference meeting scheduled for tomorrow, but if doesn't pass there, DeMint and his main ally, Sen. Tom Coburn [R, OK], will force a vote on the moratorium on the Senate floor Wednesday as an amendment to the food safety bill.
But is the moratorium really a good idea, or just a political stunt?
Less than one percent of the federal budget is earmarked each year — that is, directed by members of Congress to be spent on a specific project. The earmark moratorium does not mean that this money would be cut out of the budget, it means that more of the budget would go directly to agencies for dispersal without any input from senators and representatives. Cutting that money from the budget is a separate issue that would have to be handled with a separate vote.
Ezra Klein argues that conservatives are right on this. "[Earmarking] feeds D.C.'s massive lobbying complex, and in general, it's not a wise way to spend federal money," he writes. It is true, lobbyists lobby Congress way more often than they lobby agencies. But lobbyists can and do lobby agencies, and as agencies get more power over the federal budget under the moratorium, they will undoubtedly start lobbying the agencies more. The earmark moratorium will not curtail the lobbying complex, it will change how and where lobbyists do their work. When Congress has passed limited moratoriums in the past, this is exactly what has happened.
In fact, lobbyists looking for funds might prefer working with agencies because, unlike Congress, the people making decisions in agencies are not accountable to an electorate. They'll also still be able to lobby members of Congress to lobby agencies and ask for money to be spent on their pet projects. Believe it or not, this happens, and it's totally secretive and undisclosed. If the 112th Congress institutes an earmark moratorium, the same amount of money will be given out to projects, just with less transparency in the decision-making process and with no way for voters to take action. This is why I have argued that full transparency in the earmarking process beats a moratorium.
Now let's think about this: how does a non-binding internal policy of the minority party in the Senate affect the overall congressional budgeting process? Got me…

Take a Break
Former senator and Republican leader Bob Dole dissed his party's direction, lamenting that standard bearer Ronald Reagan would not be welcomed by today's GOP. "I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors that says 'closed for repairs' until New Year's Day next year and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas," Dole said on Fox News Sunday.

Q: Hamster or Gerbil?
My beloved pet mouse Chester passed a few months back at the old age of 5. He was a rescued wild mouse and had lived a long happy life. I am thinking about a new little furfriend either a hamster or a gerbil. I would like to know the average lifespans of both from owners who have them so I can think about which way to go. * I should also add that I have 3 cats and a cockatiel so nothing larger than a hamster/gerbil or small rat can be considered.*
Aug 18, 2009
I used to have both, and I have to say I recommend a gerbil. They live 2-4 years and are generally easy to tame and handle. If you get a hamster, I would recommend a Syrian Hamster, as they are usually easygoing and friendly. They could live anywhere from 1-4 years. They do not get along with other hamsters, however, and therefore need a lot of human attention. Have you ever thought of getting a guinea pig? It would mean getting a new cage and accessories, but we currently own one, and he is absolutely to die for. They commonly live 4-8 years, and do not bite! They love treats and make happy sounds when they see you coming. My final recommendation would be to get a guinea pig, but have fun with whatever pet you get! Good Luck, and keep me posted!

i'd like to add that the syrian hamster is also more commonly known as the golden hamster {and i think they're also the teddy-bear hamster as well as the fancy hamster}.
i've had gerbils and hamsters {many, many hamsters!}, and i've also had a lot a guinea pigs and a few rabbits and mice and one ferret. ferrets will always be my favorite, followed by guinea pigs. between gerbils and hamsters, although my hamsters were always more cuddly and sweet natured, gerbils were more fun. they had, dare i say, more personality? hamsters have a lot of personality too though, maybe i just found the antics of my gerbils more entertaining. either way - every rodent i've had was wonderful. though i've never personally owned a rat, i find them to be extremely personable and endearing. just throwing out other options!

I have owned many small animals, hamsters and gerbils included. I also worked at Petsmart for two years. It is entirely up to you on which you chose, but I prefer rats! Don't freak...rats are amazing pets, the learn their name and can learn many tricks. Also very affectionate and can live 7 years. The main health problem with rats is tumors, especially in albinos. Domesticated rats are very clean, can be litter trained, they even take baths like a cat would. Another neat thing about a rat is if it gets out of its cage it always comes back. Rats are also good for young children as they tend not to bite, unless they feel as if they are being dropped. Hamsters do bite, they are prone to stress and live about 2 years. They can easily get sick with a disease known as wet tail same as gerbils. Neither make a good pet for young children. If that hamster or gerbil should escape its home good luck finding it. Gerbils tend to be very skitsh and prefer to be left alone. I would read up as much info as you can on the pets you disire before making a choice.

Life as a Student-Athlete at TU
Today's Tuesday With Tulsa comes to us from Julie K., a senior Speech Pathology major from St. Louis, Mo.
My name is Julie, and I live the crazy, yet awesome life of a student-athlete here at The University of Tulsa. TU has made it possible for me to get a great education while playing the sport that I love: softball. I'm not going to lie, being a student-athlete gets super busy at times. In addition to class and homework, I have practice and workouts to go to nearly every day. Sometimes, I even have to miss class so I can travel to tournaments. As a freshman, this scared me because I thought my grades would suffer for missing lectures and class discussions. But I quickly learned that the professors at TU are very understanding of athletics. They are always eager to work with athletes one-on-one to make sure they understand everything that they missed. I've even seen many professors at our games supporting us! The faculty of TU is extremely supportive of TU athletics and its student-athletes.
Now I going to brag about my awesome team a little bit. Last season, we finished with a record of 53-9 and broke tons of team and individual records. We set the single season record for batting average (.325), hits (553), and RBI (333). Two of my teammates received All-American honors. We were even ranked 15th in the country at one point! It was by far the best season we've ever had. Continue reading
Thoughts After 3 Months At TU
Today's Tuesday With Tulsa comes to us from Leonardo Landivar, a freshman Petroleum Engineering major from Bolivia.
Before coming to Tulsa, I had no idea what to expect. I always heard that Tulsa is a pretty calm and quiet city without many temptations, which makes it a perfect place to study. As days went by, and classes started, I noticed that TU was exactly what I was looking for.
First of all, small classes make things so much easier and "elite" when it comes to learning. The teacher knows who you are by name and you are not just one of the bunch as in other universities. Professors are always available and willing to do anything to help you with whatever you need. People around here are so friendly which really makes me feel like I'm at home. Thanks to the Greek life at TU, I have met even more friends, friends that I now consider family…a family on which I rely and always trust.
Playing soccer, ultimate frisbee and going to the gym can be the best medicine after a long day of studies. Football and soccer games are also another great part of TU. There is so much school spirit present that you actually feel connected with the university. And that is a feeling which is impossible to describe. In the end we are all TU, and TU is the best university ever!
So far I have been away from home for three months. I can say that time has passed really quickly and that there are already some great memories that I will never forget. I can't wait to see how the next four years are going to turn out. If the first months were awesome, then the future will be even better!

Okay so I have these lipglosses in Gold Pink, African Queen, Deep Bronze, and two other goldish/brown colors and unfortunately you really get what you pay for. Ive heard many great things about these but I think these lippies are overrated. They are highly pigmented which is good, moisturizing but I would only buy African Queen and Deep Bronze again, the others can stay

Unfortunatly these did not work well for me. I have sweet heart and its way to frosty pink it look horrid on me :( I also purchased beige which is a nude pink color and while that looked the best on me, it didn't last very long at all. I had to apply every hour to keep the color and moisture. I will return the sweet heart, but am holding off on beige. The packaging is very cute and classy. I give it 3\5

I'm SO torn about these lip glosses... firstly, the pigmentation is GREAT. Best pigmentation in a lip gloss I've ever tried. Unfortunately, the smell is almost unbearable. It smells like very strong cherry cough drops, and that's not a smell I want near my nose and on my lips. The smell also travels in the space around me, so anyone near me can smell it. If I'm in a car and I put it on, the whole car will smell it. All in all, I love the colors.... but the smell is so strong that I don't think I can repurchase even though the pigmentation is so good.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Blond, Wavy, Medium

Ok....the scent of this is just unforgivable. I never, ever care about scents but this smells EXACTLY like pepto-bismol which is just weird. I like the gloss alot- it's a nice consistency, pretty color range, and decent staying power. NYX always has cute packaging too! A cute little plastic bow on top and all. I have the color "Smokey Look" a nice peachy pink color. So I may repurchase but I would need to know whether all colors have this awful scent first.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine

love love love! i have these in sponge case and chandelier and i could not be happier. I actually bought a MAC gloss and returned it because i love these so much more and i can buy 4 of these for one MAC. I lick my lips a lot so staying power isnt my issue and i do not mind reapplying. Overall I would buy all of them!
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Fine

Awesome cheap gloss! Tons of colors to choose from, a ton of product in each one and good quality. Texture is smooth and stays put for a few hours. Smell might turn some off, but it doesn't last and goes away quickly. I have Smokey Look, Tea Rose, Beige and Natural; all are beautiful, opaque colors that apply as they look in the tube. I like the applicator and that it is slanted as it makes application very easy and precise. Check these out, you will not be disappointed.

If you're looking for cheap good lipglosses, you need to get a few tubes of these. The wide variety of colors, the great texture, the fabulous smell, you're going to love these. My favorite colors are: Dolly Pink, Sweet Heart & Sponge Cake.

I LOVE these lip glosses! Since I have found these, I feel no need to pay more money for high brand lip glosses. They are not sticky but smooth and creamy. The colors are beautiful with or without lipstick.

This study is ridiculously old, like early 90s, and no studies have been done to replicate the results. So take it with a grain of salt.
What do you think DT? Do you think it's true for today's society? That men that don't help, end up getting more sex?
And can we all have a hearty laugh at the writer of the article for writing a piece about a study done 20 years ago to try and encourage men to stop helping their wives.
The comments for the article are hilarious, by the way. My personal favorite "I quit doing the chores and now my wife's boyfriend does them."

Utah: At Least 4 State Workers Linked To 'The List'
Utah officials said Friday that they identified two state workers who allegedly accessed the database that resulted in the infamous list containing names and personal information of 1,300 supposed illegal immigrants that was anonymously distributed to news outlets and law enforcement offices.
The Salt Lake Tribune, which has followed the story closely, reports that two workers in the state's Department of Workforce Services were placed on administrative leave and escorted from their workplace on Friday.
At least two additional workers are under suspicion, according to the SLT.
An excerpt from the SLT:
"These tactics by these rogue employees to go out and single out individuals and their families and, in some cases, falsely accusing people of an illegal status is deplorable and is counterproductive to the issue that ought to be the focus," Gov. Gary Herbert said at a press conference.
Two employees were escorted from their state offices and have been put on administrative leave pending completion of the full investigation, said DWS executive director Kristen Cox. She said it is uncertain if their leave would be unpaid.
Cox said officials suspect "a couple more" employees may have been involved in compiling the list, potentially as many as four, and the findings of the investigation will be turned over to the Utah Attorney General's Office.
"We feel very confident that we have identified the core group," she said. "The people we've identified certainly have strong political opinions and have frustration around the issue of immigration. ... If they want to go rogue, they need to quit the department."

Wendy Maldonado was in this horrifying marriage (or prison) for so long and became a victim of Battered Women's Syndrome. Living in complete fear, she had one goal in mind, keep her boys safe! Wendy spent years in prison (in her marriage to Aaron) and then went directly into another prison, where she remains. It is time to let her go! She hasn't known freedom since she was 17 years old. PLEASE reconsider her sentence and let her reunite with her boys.
Please sign this petition if you agree that it is time to set Wendy free!

2k's blog has been updated with an announcement that a new Borderlands game is in the works. Called "Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel", the game bridges the gap between the original game and Borderlands 2. Characters will play alongside Handsome Jack and bear witness to his catastrophic personality shift prior to Borderlands 2.
Who will those four new playable character classes be, you ask? Well, they are all familiar faces from the Borderlands universe:
- Athena, the Gladiator: Uses her Kinetic Aspis, which is a shield that can absorb incoming damage, then convert it back into energy to use against enemies. Athena made her debut in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC for the first Borderlands game.
- Wilhelm, the Enforcer: Wilhelm was previously seen in Borderlands 2 as one of the first deadly bosses in the game.
- Nisha, the Lawbringer: The sheriff of Lynchwood from Borderlands 2, Nisha will be dealing out her own brand of justice, which we'll discuss further in the coming months.
- Claptrap, the Fragtrap: Wait - Claptrap? The goofy robot companion from Borderlands 2, now playable for the first time? Fragtrap is his character class? Well, you can play him too!
Check out the official Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel announcement.

The idea took root, ironically, during a rare, lopsided defeat.
Three years ago, Ron Miller's West York football team entered its final regular season game -- a home matchup with Littlestown -- with a perfect record. A win would have earned the Bulldogs an outright YAIAA Division II title.
Rather than a coronation, the game turned into a calamity. Littlestown's offense zipped up and down the field during its 47-21 victory.
The Thunderbolts' weapon of choice: A no-huddle, hurry-up offense.
"I thought 'Boy, he's onto something there,'" Miller said this week.
That offseason, West York decided to tinker with its own high-tempo attack. It used the set on a limited basis during the 2010 and 2011 seasons.
This summer, Miller and his staff decided to transition to the no-huddle full time. They have used the set almost exclusively this season -- a strategy that has added another dimension to an already powerful roster. Through eight weeks, the undefeated Bulldogs rank second in the YAIAA in points scored (34.4 per game) despite often resting their starters during the second half of blowouts.
West York is hardly the only team to employ the hurry-up. YAIAA Division I leaders Spring Grove have used the set with excellent results in recent weeks. Other programs -- such as Central York, York Catholic and, of course, the Thunderbolts -- have also used varying degrees of a no-huddle in recent years.
If, as the cliché goes, the NFL is a "copycat league," then perhaps football's lower levels are not all that different.
"Everybody's watching the Oregons and the West Virginias," Spring Grove coach Russ Stoner said. "As you see all these spread offenses, more teams have the personnel to do it."
Whether the up-tick in area teams using a no-huddle is a trend or a one-year aberration can be debated. What is not arguable, however, are the results it has produced.
Last Friday, Spring Grove piled up 50 points and 555 yards against William Penn.
During the past two weeks, West York has scored 40 and 35, respectively, in the first half of wins over Dover and Kennard-Dale.
Then there is the continued offensive prowess of Littlestown, which switched to a high-tempo scheme several years ago. The Thunderbolts are perennially one of the league's top scoring teams.
"I just become enamored with it because it keeps so many kids involved," Littlestown coach Mike Lippy said. "They like it, it's interesting, they learn a lot. ... It's made for a certain sense of excitement."
Not to mention plenty of bloated box scores. A day after that loss to Littlestown in 2009, Miller called Lippy to learn more about how the Thunderbolts prepared for the game.
That offseason, Lippy said, he and Miller got together to share information.
"One of most important things is our depth," Miller said. "What we found is last year, when essentially our whole offensive line was playing defense, it just wasn't working.
"Last Saturday (at Kennard-Dale), we had a 13-play drive and scored in almost less than three minutes. But we didn't have any offensive lineman playing defense. So they could get their rest."
Therein lies perhaps the biggest advantage of the no-huddle: The ability to wear down opposing defenses. There are others, too, such as preventing the defense from making substitutions.
Miller likes the rhythm the hurry-up gives his team.
"Our biggest problem is sometime the officials," he said. "We're trying to go too fast and they're yelling at us to slow down."
At Spring Grove, all the Rockets offensive players wear wristbands with a list of plays on it. That enables calls from the sideline to be easily deciphered.
"The only thing we had to do was look at our wristbands, and then we were set to go," junior running back Jeff Delaughter said after last Friday's win. "We all knew what we were doing without questioning anything."
Of course, the hurry-up isn't for everybody. Lippy pointed to Bermudian Springs, which has won 17 straight YAIAA Division III games using a grinding, Wing-T scheme that is essentially the opposite of the hurry-up.
But as high school offenses continue to evolve, perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that the no-huddle has become a viable -- and productive -- option for some teams.
"I haven't noticed it being more of a trend than other years," said Northeastern coach Brendan Brown, whose team played Spring Grove earlier this season and will host West York tonight. "But I do think when you look at Spring Grove and West York, you look at two of best-coached teams in Central Pennsylvania.
"Any time you play teams that don't have as much depth as you, that's a good way to wear them down."

Real HealthBridge Patient Testimonials
Your professional yet down to earth personality makes you so unique and genuine. You always make time for me in your busy schedule and I so appreciate it. With some doctors I have encountered during my difficult journey through cancer and its after-effects, I'm made to feel "less than" because of my inability to pay. Not you and your most capable and caring staff. I am always greeted with a warm "hello". Everything you all do for me adds up to a legacy of caring that will always be treasured.
He opened my eyes to the reasons why I was not receiving the results I had desired over the years, and I am grateful to have come across this practice; I can literally say it has been a life-changing experience. I highly recommend any patients who are interested in being treated as more than an "appointment" to visit Health Bridge to see a physician (they're all awesome). They'll make you feel right at home, and make sure you leave the office completely satisfied with your experience, guaranteed.
I got the feeling of support and caring from the first medical exam. The office facilities are new and extremely clean. HealthBridge's friendly staff has supported me through my process and always greet me with a smile, call me by name, and go out of there way to make sure that I am provided for during my visit. I recommend Healthbridge to people all the time because they can provide such a wide variety of services
Healthbridge is a fantastic facility. My doctor cares so deeply about his patients, and it shows. He spent so much time with me, going over everything that I had a question about. I feel safe in his care. His staff was outstanding and the facility was quite impressive. They have everything under one roof! I really feel a sense of family here at HealthBridge. I would highly recommend them.

One of the things that impresses me most about Pixar as a production company is their attention to detail and their ability to deliver a product time after time that continues to give more and more. For example, with every one of their DVD releases thus far they have always included an additional short film that features one of the main film's characters. If you remember back to last year with Ratatouille, its release to DVD contained a never-before-seen animated short called "Your Friend the Rat," which featured more of Remy and his brother Emile.
For the DVD release of WALL-E, which will undoubtedly be closer to Christmas since the film doesn't hit theaters until this Friday, Jun 27, they are rumored to be preparing a short film called "BURN-E." And according to a report over at Pixar Planet, BURN-E is about a second cute little robot:
Though the scoring to Wall-E finished the end of April, we went back today (Wed) to record music for a small little short that'll be an extra on the Wall-E DVD when it comes out. The short is called "Burn-E" and is about a robot named… you guessed it… Burn-E. Music was by JAC Redford (orchestrator on "Wall-E") and though I didn't catch the director's name, he came out at the end to say hi. Nice that there are some extras planned for the DVD. Of course Wall-E itself will be out in theatres in… less than 10 days!
And while we don't have any details beyond that, we are completely entranced by all things WALL-E at this point as it appears to be one of Pixar's more beautifully animated works to date.
In other WALL-E related news, our friends over at Slashfilm pointed us in the direction of a beautiful set of posters from artist Eric Tan, who has done posters for everything from Raiders of the Lost Arc to The Incredibles to X-Men. Just click on the posters below to see more.

Reflectif object by jostrartatWatch

Escaping glass in lead by mirrors.
I like the incomplete circle and the lead relief.
The liberation of glass in lead..they separate and try to escape from the other piece.. That is the idea in this work.
I have worked in stained glass for 37 years and have played with similar ideas. The lead line both restricts the artist and defines the art. You want to shake it off and embrace it at the same time. You have done both well here.
I love the use of shape that makes a stylish object that is still perfectly usable.
That is all about art..I think..We need to live in it..and not putting them away from people. Even the contrast with modern and classic can be combined just by nature. The day the nature takes everything over and the glass is broken..the hallway in ruins..That's gonna be my work on his best..Imagine..the beauty..
This is true but sadly most of the items available to the public have been designed by people who have forgotten the meld of form, design and nature so we end up with ugly. I hope that one day this will change but for now I look upon pieces made by people like yourself and enjoy.

USA Today's headline was "GOP Calls New Benghazi E-Mail 'Smoking Gun.'" What the memo actually proves is that "scandal" is defined as any deviation from the fantasy world jointly created by the Republican Party and its media accomplices.

USA Today's Pattern of Inaccuracy on Iran
A look at USA Today's Iran coverage over time suggests a pattern of putting Iran in a bad light, sometimes at the expense of the truth.
USA Today and the Torture 'Debate'
USA Today weighs in today (5/10/11) on the argument that U.S. torture of detainees like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was instrumental to tracking down Osama bin Laden. Like other outlets, the newspaper does a pretty lousy job of summarizing the evidence. Under the headline "Raid Renews Debate on Interrogations," reporter Oren Dorell suggests this starting point: But the revelation that tips prodded from captured Al-Qaeda members subjected to "enhanced interrogations" led to the capture of Osama bin Laden has ignited a debate over whether Obama should revisit the policies he cast aside. There is no strong evidence that torture "led" to […]

Labors of Love
March 30, 2015 | by Sadie Stein
To love classic children's books is to love heroines with literary ambitions. Harriet the Spy, Betsy Ray, Anne Shirley, Jo March—so many beloved characters wanted to be writers at a time when their sex and circumstances made that hope seem remote and exciting. Not incidentally, many of these characters were based on their authors.
In her 1977 Art of Fiction interview, Jessamyn West—who would go on to write Cress Delahanty, featuring a young woman who dreams of writing—recalls that her parents did not support her career choice: Read More »
Now in Bloom: Our Spring Issue
March 2, 2015 | by The Paris Review
The cherry blossoms on the cover of our new Spring issue augur the end of winter—even if they're made of paper. They're part of a portfolio by Thomas Demand, accompanied by poems from Ben Lerner.
We also have the first-ever in-person interview with Elena Ferrante, on the art of fiction:
As a girl—twelve, thirteen years old—I was absolutely certain that a good book had to have a man as its hero, and that depressed me … At fifteen I began to write stories about brave girls who were in serious trouble. But the idea remained—indeed, it grew stronger—that the greatest narrators were men and that one had to learn to narrate like them … Even when I wrote stories about girls, I wanted to give the heroine a wealth of experiences, a freedom, a determination that I tried to imitate from the great novels written by men.
And Lydia Davis, on her approach to the short story, to translation, and to naming:
I've always felt that naming was artificial. I've done it. I wrote about one woman and called her Mrs. Orlando, because the woman I based her on lived in Florida. Recently I wrote a story called "The Two Davises and the Rug" because I have a neighbor named Davis and he and I were trying to decide which one should end up with a certain rug, and I was very fond of using that name, even though it wouldn't make much difference to anybody if I called it "The Two Harrises and the Rug."
Plus, Hilary Mantel discusses her Cromwell books and the difference between historians and novelists:
Nobody seems to share my approach to historical fiction. I suppose if I have a maxim, it is that there isn't any necessary conflict between good history and good drama. I know that history is not shapely, and I know the truth is often inconvenient and incoherent. It contains all sorts of superfluities. You could cut a much better shape if you were God, but as it is, I think the whole fascination and the skill is in working with those incoherencies.
There's new fiction by Angela Flournoy, Ken Kalfus, and Mark Leyner, the winner of this year's Terry Southern Prize; a novella by James Lasdun; and poems from Charles Simic, Peter Gizzi, Major Jackson, Stephen Dunn, Susan Stewart, Shuzo Takiguchi, Craig Morgan Teicher, and Sarah Trudgeon.
Mel Bochner, who designed a cover for the magazine back in 1973, is back with a portfolio of thesaurus paintings. And last, there's "Letter from the Primal Horde," an essay by J. D. Daniels about a fateful experience at a group-relations conference.
"Good hearted Naiveté"
January 14, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
Ernest and I used to read the Bible to each other. He began it. We read separate little scenes. From Kings, Chronicles. We didn't make anything out of it—the reading—but Ernest at that time talked a lot about style. He was crazy about Stephen Crane's "The Blue Hotel." It affected him very much. I was very much taken with him. He took me around to Gertrude Stein's. I wasn't quite at home there. A Buddha sitting up there, surveying us. Ernest was much less noisy then than he was in later life. He felt such people were instructive.
Was Hemingway as occupied with the four-letter word problem as he was later?
He was always concerned with four-letter words. It never bothered me particularly. Sex can be indicated with asterisks. I've always felt that was as good a way as any.
Do you think Hemingway's descriptions of those times were accurate in A Moveable Feast?
Well, it's a little sour, that book. His treatment of people like Scott Fitzgerald—the great man talking down about his contemporaries. He was always competitive and critical, overly so, but in the early days you could kid him out of it. He had a bad heredity. His father was very overbearing apparently. His mother was a very odd woman. I remember once when we were in Key West Ernest received a large unwieldy package from her. It had a big, rather crushed cake in it. She had put in a number of things with it, including the pistol with which his father had killed himself. Ernest was terribly upset.
—John Dos Passos, the Art of Fiction No. 44, Spring 1969
When Hemingway and Dos Passos—who was born on this day in 1896—went to Spain during the civil war, they were close friends, though it was an odd, uneasy match. They'd met in Paris, but their personalities couldn't have been more opposed: reticent Dos Passos didn't go in for the Hemingway model of chest-thumping virility. Read More »
Talking Tate: A Fake Oral History
November 19, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
There's no Writers at Work interview with Allen Tate—who was born today in 1899—but his name seems to pop up in nearly everyone else's. By my count, he has cameos in nineteen of our interviews; he shuffles onstage to offer an apercu or to help someone or to drink or to be carried down a flight of stairs. And then he leaves.
Tate ran in many circles, in part because his teaching allowed him to move around so much. At one point or another he crossed paths with an astonishing number of his fellow writers: Robert Penn Warren and Robert Lowell, most prominently, but also Randall Jarrell, John Gould Fletcher, John Crowe Ransom, John Berryman, and Andrew Lytle. His walk-ons in The Paris Review interviews testify to his influence not just as a poet but as a friend. If you read these mentions of him in succession, as a kind of patchwork oral history, you get a strangely gratifying secondhand sense of the man, as if someone had painted his portrait based only on a description. Let's give it a try— Read More »
Peter Matthiessen, 1927–2014
April 5, 2014 | by The Paris Review
INTERVIEWERYou are one of the few writers ever nominated for the National Book Award in both fiction and nonfiction. Define yourself.
PETER MATTHIESSENI am a writer. A fiction writer who also writes nonfiction on behalf of social and environmental causes or journals about expeditions to wild places. I have written more books of nonfiction because my fiction is an exploratory process—not laborious, merely long and slow and getting slower. In reverse order, Far Tortuga took eight years, At Play in the Fields of the Lord perhaps four, and the early novels no doubt longer than they deserved. Anyway, I have been a fiction writer from the start. For many years I wrote nothing but fiction. My first published story appeared in The Atlantic the year I graduated from college and won the Atlantic firsts prize that year; and on the wings of a second story sale to the same magazine, I acquired a noted literary agent, Bernice Baumgarten, wife of James Gould Cozzens, the author of a best-selling blockbuster called By Love Possessed, whose considerable repute went to the grave with him.
INTERVIEWERAnd when did you start your first novel?
MATTHIESSENAlmost at once. It was situated on an island off the New England coast. I had scarcely begun when I realized that what I had here at the very least was the Great American Novel. I sent off the first 150 pages to Bernice and hung around the post office for the next two weeks. At last an answer came. It read as follows: "Dear Peter, James Fenimore Cooper wrote this 150 years ago, only he wrote it better, Yours, Bernice." On a later occasion, when as a courtesy I sent her the commission on a short story sold in England, she responded unforgettably: "Dear Peter, I'm awfully glad you were able to get rid of this story in Europe, as I don't think we'd have had much luck with it here. Yours, Bernice." Both these communications, quoted in their entirety, are burned into my brain forever—doubtless a salutary experience for a brash young writer. I never heard an encouraging word until the day Bernice retired, when she called me in and barked like a Zen master, "I've been tough on you because you're very, very good." I wanted to sink down and embrace her knees. Read Matthiessen's Art of Fiction interview and his story "A Replacement," and listen to him on the art of travel writing.
Hear Chinua Achebe Discuss Martin Luther King Jr.
January 20, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Last week we brought to light a few videos of George Plimpton we'd found on the original version of our Web site, circa 1996. Today we have another highly apropos discovery from those days: audio from an unused portion of the Art of Fiction No. 139, an interview with Chinua Achebe conducted for our Winter 1994 issue. In this clip, Achebe, who died last year, discusses the legacy of none other than Martin Luther King Jr. A transcript follows:
Yes, I think certainly, in my view, that Martin Luther King is an ancestor. And although he died at the age of thirty-nine, this is something we do not often remember: how young he was when he was cut down. But his achievement was such that some who lived to be a hundred didn't achieve half as much. So he does deserve that status, that standing. If he were in my country, he would be worshipped … I did not meet him, unfortunately, and I think one of the reasons was what I have just said: that he died too young. He was thirty-nine. Gandhi, with whom he is often compared, had not even returned to India at thirty-nine; he was still studying. We are thinking not about a sportsman, who can achieve his peak at eighteen; we are thinking of a philosopher, a thinker, who had to mature into action. I have been lucky in the past few years to be invited, again and again, to speak on his day—two years ago at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and then last year at the Smithsonian, so I've become something of an expert on Martin Luther King.

By focusing on public private partnerships to spur revitalization, Mayor Weisner is successfully cleaning up polluted riverfront areas and breathing new life into Aurora's downtown urban core, the most recent example of which is RiverEdge Park, a spectacular new music venue on the banks of the Fox River.
Mayor Weisner is also a leader on the regional, state and national level. He is currently the Executive Board Vice Chairman of the Chicago Metropolitan Mayors Caucus, the Kane/Kendall representative to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning, Executive Board member of the Illinois Municipal League and Past President of Metro West Council of Governments. Tom was appointed as a Director at the Illinois Toll Highway Authority by Governor Quinn and also serves as chair of the Strategic Planning Committee at the Tollway. Additionally, he is founding Chairman of the Northwest Water Planning Alliance, a collaborative organization between municipalities and counties in a five county area of the Chicago suburbs. Mayor Weisner also serves as Chairman of the Board for OnLight Aurora, a public-private partnership created to connect the Aurora community and businesses to the city's fiber network.
Prior to joining City staff in 1986, Tom and his wife, Marilyn, served in the Peace Corps, assisting rain forest dwellers in the highlands of Guadalcanal, Solomon Islands.

The book Already Gone—which details the research conducted by America's Research Group into why 2/3rds of young people are leaving the church—continues to make an impact across the nation (and around the world). Here is an email received last week:
Someone sent our pastor the video and book "Already Gone." We had already started teaching creation and the Christian worldview a couple of weeks before. This material was eye opening .
I had heard an interview, but there is so much more in the materials. Our pastor had us show a clip of the video in church and we asked the parents to watch it with the students in Sunday school. I can say this teaching is loved by most of our students. One in particular … said he loves it [and] is excited to come to church. He said he is learning lies at school and at least here he is learning the truth.You can purchase the book Already Gone (and the accompanying video of the same name) from the AiG online bookstore.
He thought the video on building the Ark was cool. We have purchased some material from you and plan on getting more … I just wanted to thank you for your ministry and its focus on the foundations of the Bible and the Gospel. Our church and parents are behind this material also, so we are blessed. Again, thanks.
Here are some additional photographs:
(2Ki 18:25) Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
It can be dangerous for us to endorse our decision by saying that the Lord said unto me without basing that decision on what the Bible says.
