Achingly Alice (Alice McKinley #10)by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Alice has decided she needs priorities in her life -- and the first is to get her favorite teacher, Miss Summers, to marry her father. The only problem is that the vice principal, Mr. Sorringer, wants to marry Miss Summers too, and Miss Summers seems to be having trouble making up her mind. How can someone be in love with two people at the same time? It doesn't make sense to Alice -- until Sam, her friend from Camera Club, starts to pay attention to her. Sam is quiet and gentle, and a terrific dancer -- Alice likes being with him. But Alice has been Patrick's girlfriend for almost two years -- so why is she interested in another guy?
The Agony of Aliceby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Life, Alice McKinley feels, is just one big embarrassment. Here she is, about to be a teenager and she doesn't know how. It's worse for her than for anyone else, she believes, because she has no role model. Her mother has been dead for years. Help and advice can only come from her father, manager of a music store, and her nineteen-year-old brother, who is a slob. What do they know about being a teen age girl? What she needs, Alice decides, is a gorgeous woman who does everything right, as a roadmap, so to speak. If only she finds herself, when school begins, in the classroom of the beautiful sixth-grade teacher, Miss Cole, her troubles will be over. Unfortunately, she draws the homely, pear-shaped Mrs. Plotkin. One of Mrs. Plotkin's first assignments is for each member of the class to keep a journal of their thoughts and feelings. Alice calls hers "The Agony of Alice," and in it she records all the embarrassing things that happen to her. Through the school year, Alice has lots to record. She also comes to know the lovely Miss Cole, as well as Mrs. Plotkin. And she meets an aunt and a female cousin whom she has not really known before. Out of all this, to her amazement, comes a role model -- one that she would never have accepted before she made a few very important discoveries on her own, things no roadmap could have shown her. Alice moves on, ready to be a wise teenager.
Alice Aloneby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
There's a new girl in town, and she's making Alice very nervous. The start of ninth grade -- high school! -- is every bit as exciting, and challenging, as Alice had hoped, and feared, it would be. She finds her self-confidence rising, and plummeting, depending on each new situation. Classes are definitely more interesting, but algebra is proving to be nearly impossible. Patrick is in the accelerated program so they aren't in the same classes anymore. And while she's thrilled to be chosen to work on the school newspaper, she finds that between an increased homework load and reporting assignments, she can't always join Patrick when he wants to go out. But the new girl in town, Penny, can...and does. Penny is everything Alice isn't -- perky, petite, and cute as a button, and she doesn't hide her interest in Patrick. Alice senses her seemingly perfect relationship with Patrick starting to crumble, along with her self-confidence, and suddenly, Alice feels big and awkward and not particularly attractive. Could it be possible that Patrick could like someone else besides her? She can't imagine life without Patrick in it. But Patrick's behavior isn't the only thing that is baffling Alice. Elizabeth's nearly hysterical reluctance to go to her piano lessons has Alice and Pamela completely bewildered, until Elizabeth breaks down and shares an awful secret she's kept from everybody since she was seven... And as Alice struggles to keep her jealousy of Penny at bay, she watches her father handle unsettling news regarding his fiancé. Alice learns what trust is all about, and how confidence in yourself, and in others, is the most important thing of all.
Alice in Aprilby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
April is the cruelest month," said the poet, and Alice McKinley would agree. April is a hard month. Not that she doesn't have some fun. It does begin with a wonderful April Fool's Day joke on her brother, Lester. But it also begins with Aunt Sally reminding her that she will soon be thirteen (as if anyone could forget something so important) and then she will be Woman of the House, since her mother is long dead. It is an awesome responsibility. All her life she had assumed that her father and Lester were there to take care of her; now she is going to have to take care of them. Taking care of Lester, alone, could be a full-time job, she thinks. Being Woman of the House has all sorts of drawbacks. For example: It never occurred to her that when she suggested her father and Lester ought to have physical checkups, her father would insist that she have one too. How could you let a doctor see you naked? Of course, Alice is still in school. And there she faces another crisis. She might be Woman of the House at home, but in school she needs a different kind of name, one given by a table full of boys in the cafeteria Depending on their figures, girls are being given state names -- some states have mountains and others do not. Will flat, flat Delaware or Louisiana be her fate? Alice lives in fear that it might be, though even worse is the fear that she might not get a name at all. The month ends with a dinner party for her father's birthday (part of being Woman of the House) that has more downs than ups -- and with a totally unexpected event that makes Alice and everyone she knows grow up a little and wonder a little deeper about life and the future. April is a hard month, but reading about Alice in April is to find that most tragedies (though not all) pass and tears can turn to laughter and delight.
Alice In-Betweenby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
In between, that's what Alice decides she is. During the spring of seventh grade and the summer that follows, she feels she is neither child nor woman, and waits, not so patiently, for beauty to blossom. As she turns 13 and her older brother, Lester, takes her out on the town, some almost grown-up things happen to her, but there are unexpected dangers attached. And a marvelous trip to Chicago with her best friends, Pamela and Elizabeth, proves that "in-between" may not be such a bad place to be after all, when Pamela, acting too old for her age, attracts some unwanted attention, and Elizabeth promptly goes into shock. And when Patrick comes back into Alice's life again, she realizes she doesn't have to rush things. Being 13 has its advantages, she decides. Taking the pencil test, buying a hermit crab, and taking part in long conversations about life and sex are all a part of her world now. Alice is glad that the first seven grades are over with and she's a teenager at last, but she's also happy she does not yet have to face some of the problems -- mostly with girls -- that her brother faces, or even her father. For anyone who is in-between (and who isn't?) Alice in-Between is a book to savor.
Alice in Blunderlandby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Here are all the embarrassing things that might happen to you in the fourth grade -- and do happen to you, if your name is Alice McKinley: 1. Your next-door neighbor (who happens to be a BOY!) sees you in your underpants. 2. You sneeze beans all over your best friend. 3. Your brother lies to you for fun and you believe him. 4. You get trapped inside a snow cave -- your own snow cave, that is. 5. You're the only person in the whole grade who can't sing. Alice can't seem to do anything right anymore, especially where her big brother Lester is concerned. When he gets really angry with her, Alice doesn't know how to fix things between them. How is she going to get Lester to talk to her again? And will life ever get any easier? Fourth grade can't end soon enough!The second of three prequels to the beloved Alice series, Alice in Blunderland lets younger readers get to know the girl everyone wants to be friends with, and proves once again that Phyllis Reynolds Naylor knows the fears, foibles, and fun of being a girl.
Alice in Chargeby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Alice's memorable last year of high school is being overshadowed by some very difficult situations. A sudden increase in vandalism at the school leads Alice to discover an angry and violent group of students--teenage Neo-Nazis. Then an awkward hallway encounter gets a classmate to confess that a new, attentive teacher has been taking advantage of her. All at once, Alice's safe and comfortable school starts feeling strange and serious--all this plus the normal senior year pressures of college applications and life-making decisions. Alice has two options: step up or melt down. The choice is simple, and true to the character that readers have loved for years....Alice steps up--in a big way.
Alice in Laceby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Alice suddenly finds herself married! Well, sort of. In an eighth grade health class, she and her friends are each given a hypothetical situation to help them learn to make good decisions. It's all great fun until one of the students creates a problem that could have serious consequences for the whole class. The first semester of eighth grade is both exciting and complicated as Alice learns something about last year's English teacher, Miss Summers, who is dating her father, and when one of her brother's old girlfriends makes a startling announcement. Then there is the problem of how to afford a wedding and honeymoon, the pranks with Pamela's pillow, a harrowing ride in a used car, Elizabeth's confession, Patrick's embarrassing request, and finally, a new person arrives on the scene. As usual, Alice has questions, but sometimes no one has the answers.
Alice in Rapture, Sort Ofby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
"The Summer of the First Boyfriend," Alice's father calls it. It is also the summer between grade school and junior high. Alice's friends keep telling her what she has to do to be a successful seventh grader. She may need a leather skirt. (Alice knows she'll never have one.) And certainly she'll need that boyfriend. In fact, one of Alice's friends has heard that a girl will never have any kind of social life in high school if she doesn't have a boyfriend when she enters junior high. That makes Alice very glad she has Patrick. And glad when her friends Elizabeth and Pamela have boyfriends, too. It is going to be a good summer, she thinks. And, in this sequel to The Agony of Alice, it is a good summer. There are ball games in the park, bike riding, sitting on the front porch with Patrick and talking -- and sometimes eating chocolates -- and sometimes kissing. But there are problems, too. How do you make yourself beautiful when you are not? How do you cope with an older brother who has no tact and no understanding of your problems? And most of all, how do you act with a boyfriend? Some of the things she hears make Alice think she needs a manual of instructions. Through triumphs and disasters at the beach, through the trauma of dinner at the country club with Patrick, through moments of terrible embarrassment and discouraging attempts to sort out what having a boyfriend is all about, and through surprising thoughts and decisions, Alice persists in being Alice, a girl who wants to be like other people but who can't stop being herself. Her problems are fun and funny, and readers will find a lot of themselves and their own problems in Alice and her friends.
Alice in the Knowby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
It's the summer before junior year, and Alice is looking forward to three months of excitement, passion, and drama. But what does she find? A summer working in a local department store, trying to stop shoplifters, and more "real life" problems than she could have ever imagined: A good friend becomes seriously ill, Lester has more romance problems than even Alice knows what to do with, and the gang from Mark Stedmeister's pool is starting to grow up a bit faster than Alice is comfortable with.... Fortunately for Alice her family and friends are with her through it all, and by the end of the summer, Alice finds she knows a whole lot more than she had in June. Funny, touching, and always provocative, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor does it again, proving with this twenty-first book in the beloved Alice series that she understands what real girls think and feel.
Alice on Boardby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
In her last adventure before starting college, Alice takes to the open sea for the summer--and nothing can stop the tides of change.Everything Alice has ever known is about to change--from where she sleeps at night to how close her closest friends will be. So Alice is meeting that seasick feeling head-on by setting sail as staff on a Chesapeake Bay cruise ship. And like any last great adventure before starting college, Alice knows she'll need sunblock, an open mind, and...oh yeah, all her best girlfriends. It's the perfect summer job. Perfect, that is, when things are going perfectly. But when they're not, Alice has to figure out how to weather unexpected storms of all sorts. Which could be perfect after all--perfect training for her next big adventure--college.
Alice on Her Wayby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Imagine it: a weekend without your parents; a weekend in a hotel with your best friends; a weekend in one of the biggest, loudest, craziest cities in the world. Jealous yet? Well, get ready to turn green with envy because Alice, Pam, Liz, and Gwen are headed to New York City for the weekend! Sure, it's a school trip and there'll be some educational stuff like museums and plays and visiting Ellis Island, but what the girls really can't wait for is everything they're going to do when their teachers go to bed. Bars, clubs, dancing, shopping, and boys...anything is possible. The city awaits them, and all they have to do to have the time of their lives is sneak past a few hotel clerks. Alice can't wait to hit New York. A weekend with her friends is just what she needs right now. Sophomore year and driving lessons are a lot harder than she thought they would be, and it's time for her to get away from all that work and have some fun. Plus, she's got the loooong bus ride home in the dark with her new boyfriend to look forward to.... Funny, cool, and always provocative, Phyllis Reynolds Naylor does it again, proving that she understands what real girls think and feel, with this seventeenth book in the beloved Alice series.
Alice on the Outside (Alice #11)by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Alice McKinley likes her life, but she senses things are changing. She gets a little bored by her best friends Elizabeth's and Pamela's obsession with clothes and makeup. She's just not that interested. And though she is very interested in her boyfriend, Patrick, she's not entirely sure how to keep their relationship going. Alice is struggling to figure out how she feels about things--and then how her feelings fits into what other people think she should be feeling. Getting older is even trickier than Alice thought--is she ready for the challenge? As Alice stumbles her way through the minefield of early adolescence, there are plenty of bumps, giggles, and surprises along the way. Every girl should grow up with Alice, and with this irresistible new look, a whole new generation will want to.inds, it is not planning that matters, but coping. Alice is growing up. She is meeting new people, facing new problems, and giving readers new things to laugh and think about. She's experimenting with life and finding it can be awful -- but also, sometimes, very, very good.
Alice the Braveby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
A month before eighth grade begins, Alice realizes she is going to have to face something she's been afraid of forever. Everybody, she knows, is afraid of something: elevators, dogs, planes, spiders . . . but her fear is worse. It's going to bring absolute disaster to the rest of her summer, maybe to the rest of her life. The truth is she's afraid of deep water! It's a hot August, and everyone in Alice's gang goes to Mark Stedmeister's swimming pool almost every day. Alice sits at the shallow end. She plays badminton. She makes excuses, and keeps her problem secret. Meanwhile, Elizabeth and Pamela, Alice's two best friends, tackle problems of their own, and are more or less successful. Life is changing for everyone but Alice. Bravery begins in little ways, with small steps. That's what Alice finally discovers. And after she faces this particular fear, she knows she can summon the courage to face other fears as well. As in her previous adventures, Alice tackles some of the big problems of growing up with humor and enterprise and learns once again that a brother, a father, and friends can offer amazing amounts of help.
All Because I'm Olderby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
An 8-year-old gets blamed for his sibling's mistakes.
All But Aliceby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
There are, Alice decides, 272 horrible things left to happen to her in her life, based on the number of really horrible things that have happened already. She figures that out after the disaster of the talent show. And she realizes that there is no way to fend them off. But, she reasons, if you don't have a mother, maybe a sister would help. Maybe lots of sisters, a worldwide sisterhood. Be like everyone else, do what others do, and best of all, be part of the "in" group. Then you have sympathy and protection. It is with this in mind that Alice joins the All-Stars Fan Club and the earring club and becomes one of the Famous Eight. It helps, even when it's a bit boring. On the whole, Alice thinks, she is enjoying seventh grade more than she had ever expected. Yet Sisterhood, even Famous Eighthood, does not take care of all of her problems or answer all of her questions about life and love. Can she be Sisters with all three girls who want to be her brother Lester's girlfriends? How does she treat the fact that her father is dating her teacher, Miss Summers? How do you accept a box of valentine candy from a boy? In fact, how do boys fit into Universal Sisterhood -- or is there a Universal Humanhood? How far do you go when being part of the crowd means doing something you don't want to do? As in the earlier Alice books, Alice copes with life in her own way, and her answers to her endless problems are often funny and surprisingly right.
Almost Aliceby Phyllis Reynolds Naylor
Is it possible to be too good a friend -- too understanding, too always there, too much like a doormat? Alice has always been a good friend to Pamela and Liz, a best friend to Pamela and Liz. But she's starting to wonder where that leaves her: What am I? An ear for listening? An arm around the shoulder? And then there's Patrick -- after ending their relationship two years ago, he's suddenly calling again, and wants to take her to his senior prom. What does that mean? As Alice tries to figure out who she is in relation to her friends, she learns one thing -- sometimes friends need you more than they let on...especially when the unthinkable happens. Always honest, brave, and true, the Alice series never flinches from big issues, and never discounts the small ones.

Buzzfeed: The New Species at Iowa's Media Watering Hole
Talking with new editor Ben Smith as he begins to change the site's identity with Iowa coverage. Plus: Check out the press pass.
At the zoo that is the Iowa Caucus, the lobby bar in the downtown Des Moines Marriott is like a communal watering hole where roving packs of reporters, political hacks, and even candidates assemble nightly to drain drinks and exchange political gossip. New arrivals can cause heads to turn, like when Jill Abramson and Maureen Dowd entered the bar around 7:30 p.m. on New Year's Eve before hosting a dinner for New York Times staffers. A few moments later, Mitt Romney sparked chatter when he hustled by the front desk pulling his own roller bag, looking like the Bain consultant road warrior he once was.
Last night, it was Buzzfeed's new editor-in-chief Ben Smith who occupied the room's attention as he mingled through the lobby, talking with Esquire writer Charlie Pierce and Drudge's deputy Charlie Hurt, among others. In early December, Smith announced he was jumping from his high-profile perch at Politico to start a newsroom at Buzzfeed, the aggregation site best known for viral cat videos. Smith's move confounded reporters and media watchers, and became something of a crystallizing moment that confirmed (once again) that the web continues to obliterate old journalism models and hierarchies.
"It was a mind fuck," Smith told me, explaining the reaction of his sources and fellow reporters when the move was announced last month. "There was a reaction that this makes no sense, so I have to pretend it makes sense. But I think it makes perfect sense, though not in an obvious way. Buzzfeed is going to change a lot."
But what, exactly, is Buzzfeed? Smith's first official day on the job provided an initial glimpse of the site's ambitions. "This is a bit of a demonstration project," Smith told me. He had arrived in Iowa on New Year's Day to lead a three-person reporting team that had fanned out across the state to cover the race — Zeke Miller, formerly of Henry Blodget's Business Insider, was trailing Romney as he stumped in the far west of the state in Sioux Falls. The early mix of stories shows that Smith intends for Buzzfeed to play both high and low, mixing serious political reporting and news scoops with clickable content. Earlier that day, Smith had broken a story about Ron Paul's plan to master the arcane rules of winning delegates in overlooked states, much as Obama did in 2008, that carried the alluring headline "Ron Paul's Secret Plan to Actually Win." The article was followed by blogger Matt Stopera's photo gallery of voters at a Rick Santorum event explaining why they're backing the former Pennsylvania Senator in "five words or less."
"I think we're a competitive news organization," Smith told me. "We're going to cover the hell out of politics. The timing is such that this carnival happens once every four years and we couldn't miss it."
At Politico, Smith saw firsthand how quickly a new site can establish itself. In many ways, by launching Buzzfeed's newsroom at the Iowa Caucus, he's replicating the playbook of his former employer, which piggybacked off the epic 2008 presidential election to build a franchise. "We're not going into the business against Politico," he cautioned. But in one sense Buzzfeed's ambitions are bigger: It's a general interest site, and "politics is one of several verticals" planned for rollout, according to Smith.
As Smith bounced around the room, reporters were eager to get a look at his new Buzzfeed press pass, with its swirling red and white logo. "I have a great press pass," Smith told me, showing it off. "It looks like we're from the future and we're here to check your radiation levels."
While the 2012 primary has so far played out on cable news, and most visibly on Fox News, this year's contest will be the first election of the social media era. The fact that a site like Buzzfeed, whose premise is built explicitly on creating stories that readers want to share with their friends, is attracting the attention of the political class shows how radically the media landscape is shifting. "I think the industry has blown up to a degree at this point where people are like, 'oh you work for a company that makes hot dogs and you also report?'" Smith said. "'I don't know what that is, but it sounds like you have a press pass.'"

Profile Last Updated: May 08, 2007
A restaurant that defines the Greektown experience, Ouzeri offers large portions perfect for group indulgence late into the evening, along with a wide list of wines from Greece and around the world. The appetizer list is comprehensive in itself: Roasted eggplant, hummus, Tzatziki, marinated mushrooms and olive and feta are just the start. There's also taramosalta (pink caviar dip), skordalla (creamy potatoes), dolmades (grape wine leaves), gigantes (giant lima beans) and keftedes (seasoned ground beef and lamb patties), plus spanakopita (spinach and feta wrapped in layered filo), sikotakia (chicken livers sautéed with fresh herbs and vegetables) and ortikia (quails grilled with a blend of seasoning). Spicy sausage, stuffed escargots and shish kebobs are also on the starter lineup.
Exotically Greek
Ouzeri also offers an extensive menu of seafood appetizers, with concoctions involving prawns, octopus, calamari, mussels, scallops and smoked salmon. Soups are another specialty, with signature recipes featuring fish, vegetables and chicken breast. Mousaka comes with beef and vegetarian style, Rosemary pie is baked with either chicken or lamb, and there are pasta dishes like makaronada (mussels, prawns and scallops served on a bed of linguini) and pastichio (mezzani pasta and ground beef layered and topped with béchamel cream).
Surf and Turf
The entrées at Ouzeri represent both the surf and the turf. Red snapper, Atlantic salmon, poached grouper fillet and dried, salted cod. More elaborate dinner entrées focus on calamari and black tiger shrimp. Souvlaki is a menu staple, alongside rack of lamb, spiced ground beef, lamb chops, grilled chicken, feta lamb, New York steak, chicken Parmesan, quails and chicken breast. And, for parties of three or four who want a bit of everything with their wine, Ouzeri serves up platters with a generous selection of the meat or seafood menu highlights.

Twitter and the Social Unconscious: how tweets and blogs go far beyond the individual
The distinction between what is conscious and what is unconscious is a familiar one – Freud gave us the image of an iceberg where the small exposed bit represents the conscious mind and the much larger unexposed chunk underneath represents the unconscious.
An even a more moving picture of the relationship between the two is sometimes represented as a block of wood floating on an ocean of unconsciousness. When we consider that our personal unconscious may also be connected up with a common or collective unconscious, the floating block of wood image really puts that relationship in perspective.
"Collective unconscious" – in a Jungian term which takes Freud's notion of the unconscious even further in this direction, postulating that there is a layer of unconsciousness that not only belongs to us all, but is "innate" and comes wired in to our human programming.
The social unconscious is another perspective all together, this is a concept that looks at how crowds or groups operate in a 'herd' sense – potentially offering a greater kind of wisdom that we don't get simply as individuals. Though each of these concepts is different, they can be brought into good use when thinking about how the human race expresses itself online.
In previous posts I looked at some of the unconscious motivations that may underlie an individual's use of Twitter and other forms of social networking; notably the role of ego in Twitter and the false self with regard to Facebook. These posts were mostly interested in the individual unconscious, but as I investigated the Jungian model further I found that the link of the persona (previously taken in the context of an individual's public facing "mask") also serves an interesting collective function.
For Jung, the persona is "only a mask worn by the collective psyche, a mask that feigns individuality, making others and oneself believe that one is individual, whereas one is simply acting a role through which the collective psyche speaks. When we analyse the persona we strip off the mask, and discover that what seemed to be individual is at bottom collective" (p. 281)
Is the collective psyche speaking to us through Twitter?
There is some interesting research taking place in this area. Though not explicitly Freudian or Jungian in nature, we can see how models from depth psychology can be applied to gain access to collective or social unconscious themes that may be embedded in our online communications.
First we have Alan Mislove's research from Northwestern University which follows mood trends across the US as expressed over Twitter (more here). In the video below (after the ad) you can see what the researchers call "the pulse of the nation" suggesting that those on the west coast are happier than those back east: and that happiness peaks on Sunday mornings and dives on Thursday evenings:
In a similar study Scott Golder and Michael Macy at Cornell University studied the emotional content of the entire world coming up with similar findings on a global scale. The map below indicates average negative feelings (blue/top) and average positive feelings (red/bottom) across the countries that were measured. [image: Science/AAAS].
The coolest I've found yet (thanks to David Patman) has been the We Feel Fine project defined as "an exploration of human emotion, in six movements. This project searches weblogs across the world for words associated with the statements "I feel" and "I am feeling" and records the feeling associated with that statement". To quote from their website:
The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 – 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like: do Europeans feel sad more often than Americans? Do women feel fat more often than men? Does rainy weather affect how we feel? What are the most representative feelings of female New Yorkers in their 20s? What do people feel about right now in Baghdad? What were people feeling on Valentines' Day? Which are the happiest cities in the world? The saddest? And so on.
There is a stunning graphic in which you can see, in real time, groupings and clusterings of feelings as they occur. Interestingly, you can filter your searches by feeling, gender, age, weather, location or date, and then view your search in a variety of visually interesting ways.
When I looked at it at 8:55 on Tuesday morning the 3rd of July I could see that in Britain the dominant feeling was "better" (circa 130,000 people) followed by "bad" (93,000 then) "good" (77,000). By clicking on individual nodes, you can even gain access to the original text. By doing this, you can get a great deal of detail about the context, as well as the feeling tone. The creators Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar should be highly commended for this work.
Looking at this emerging research is very exciting because it offers us, for the first time, access to oodles of data about the state of the world through their communication over a global social network. While research methods will surely have to be refined, we now have the capacity to do some "data mining" not for commercial gain, but to understand the nature of our "social voice."
The difference between an approach informed by depth psychology and the projects I've spoken about above, is that these empirical studies look at what is present on the surface, and by looking at that, comes up with some pretty interesting results. The depth psychologies take this one step further by taking what is on the surface and interpreting what might be going on underneath.
For Freud, dreams were the "royal road to the unconscious" because of the way they created uninhibited images that gave symbolic meaning to what couldn't be expressed in our waking lives. I wonder if the parts of ourselves we project into the internet; the words from our tweets and our blogs can be sort of a social dreaming, a socio-cultural "free association" from which we can gain understanding about our collective unconscious.
This post is just a start on these thoughts, outlining the possibility of a different way of reading the web – so watch this space for more developments.

BROWN v. OKLAHOMA
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
BROWN v. OKLAHOMA , 408 U.S. 914 (1972)
Wilbert Montell BROWN
State of OKLAHOMA.
No. 71-6535.
Supreme Court of the United States
June 26, 1972
The motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is granted.
The judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the Court of Criminal Appeals of the State of Oklahoma for reconsideration in the light of Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15 (1971), and Gooding v. Wilson, 405 U.S. 518 (1972).
Mr. Justice POWELL, concurring in the result.
The statute involved in this case is considerably broader than the statute involved in Rosenfeld v. New Jersey, 408 U.S. 901, and it has not been given a narrowing construction by the Oklahoma courts. Moreover, the papers filed in this case indicate that the language for which appellant was prosecuted was used in a political meeting to which appellant had been invited to present the Black Panther viewpoint. In these circumstances language of the character charged might well have been anticipated by the audience.
These factors lead me to conclude that this case is significantly different from Rosenfeld v. New Jersey, supra. I therefore concur in the Court's disposition of this case.
Mr. Chief Justice BURGER, with whom Mr. Justice BLACKMUN and Mr. Justice REHNQUIST join, dissents; for dissenting opinion see .

|Uracil (U)
|Uracil is a pyrimidine base (nitrogenous base) and constituent of nucleotides and as such one member of the base pair A-U (adenine-uracil). It is normally found in RNA but not DNA.
|A nitrogen-containing, single-ring, basic compound (cf. nitrogenous base) that occurs in nucleic acids. The pyrimidines in DNA are cytosine and thymine. The pyrimidines in RNA are cytosine and uracil.
|Nitrogenous base
|A nitrogen-containing molecule having the chemical properties of a base. See purine and pyrimidine.
|A subunit of DNA or RNA consisting of a nitrogenous base (purine in adenine and guanine, pyrimidine in thymine, or cytosine for DNA and uracil cytosine for RNA), a phosphate molecule, and a sugar molecule (deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA). Depending on the sugar the nucleotides are called deoxyribonucleotides or ribonucleotides. Thousands of nucleotides are linked to form a DNA or RNA molecule. See also base pair.
|Base pair (bp)
|Two nitrogenous (purine or pyrimidine) bases (adenine and thymine or guanine and cytosine) held together by weak hydrogen bonds. Two strands of DNA are held together in the shape of a double helix by the bonds between base pairs. The number of base pairs is often used as a measure of length of a DNA segment, eg 500 bp.
|Adenine (A)
|Adenin is a purine base (nitrogenous base) and constituent of nulceotides and as such one member of the base pair A-T (adenine-thymine) in DNA and A-U (adenine-uracil) in RNA.
|Ribonucleic acid (RNA)
|A chemical found in the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells; it plays an important role in protein synthesis and other chemical activities of the cell. The structure of RNA is similar to that of DNA. There are several classes of RNA molecules, including messenger RNA, transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and other small RNAs, each serving a different purpose.
|Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
|The molecule that encodes genetic information. DNA is a double-stranded molecule held together by weak bonds between base pairs of nucleotides. The four nucleotides in DNA contain the bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). In nature, base pairs form only between A and T and between G and C; thus the base sequence of each single strand can be deduced from that of its partner.

Conan O'Brien/AP Photo
Conan O'Brien
April 18, 1963
Boston, MA USA
Dear Rero,
I'm one of Conan O'Brien's biggest fans. As you can imagine, I was sad to see him leave the Tonight Show and I'm concerned about what's next to come for Conan. Is there anything in his chart to indicate what may happen next in his career? Also, is there anything to indicate what really prompted his exit on the Tonight Show?
Jenine from Boston
Dear Jenine,
The first indicator of what may be next to come in Conan's career is Neptune in the Third House. Expect Conan to do a great deal of writing in the next several months.
With the Moon in Aquarius, we know that Conan is a true American. He believes wholeheartedly in freedom of speech and one's rights to their own personal work. Unfortunately, the Moon is opposition Mars and semi-square Jupiter in his chart. This is typically indicative of career conflict, specifically in the realm of lack of support from those higher in authority. The Moon is additionally square Neptune, further suggesting a lack of support from those in charge at NBC. This also suggests Conan was given the opportunity to meet NBC's demands halfway; however, this would have been at the expense of his personal ideals and perhaps future aspirations.
The placement of Saturn in Aquarius is generally found in charts of individuals who have a knack for smelling rats amongst those involved in big business. He may decide to stem away from large organizations such as NBC and take more of a Larry David approach to future successes; however, another large network contract may be inevitable.
Venus is found in Pisces in the Seventh House. With this we know Conan has great intuition and is learning better, as time goes on, to trust his intuition. He is highly imaginative, creative, and musically inclined. This also suggests he is willing to step back from the limelight and work behind the scenes for awhile. The pen is already back to the paper. Venus is also semi-sextile Saturn, letting us know Conan's work comes from the heart and is something he is most proud of.
Jupiter is another planet with aspects containing insight to Conan's shocking career change. Because Jupiter is found in Aries, we know his sense of pride concerning his work is accompanied by a bravery pushing him to protect his accomplishments. This sometimes leads to rash actions or decisions.
The Sun in Aries further supports that Conan's decision to leave the Tonight Show may have indeed been a bit impulsive; however, he's a man of action and is already working on future endeavors. The Ninth House placement of the sun speaks of Conan's core character. He appreciates uprightness and integrity within others more than what materials they may have to offer. The Sun is additionally desquiquadrate Pluto, indicating, again, conflicts with those of greater authority and power.
Mars speaks a great deal of what's in store for Conan's future career. With Mars found in Leo, we know Conan will again take a leading role, offering the public clever and unusual comic relief via television. With Mars trine Jupiter, his new endeavors will be a success with the public. Mars semi-sextile Pluto suggests Conan took into consideration his role as an exemplar for many fans and viewers in making the decision to leave NBC. According to his chart, this motivation will resonate with others and make a difference for the better.
Uranus in Virgo is the placement delivering positive news to dedicated Conan fans. Not only does Conan place his heart into his work, he also loves to work. Without a doubt, Conan will make a return debut for countless fans to laugh with--or at, depending on your preference.

A visit to Glen Ord, the nearest distillery to Inverness & Loch Ness in the Highlands of Scotland, is a delight to both the eye and the palate. Join us on a tour of the distillery and watch our distillers at work creating a magical malt whisky which is sweet, malty and dry on the palate.
Our whisky The Singleton of Glen Ord is for selected Asian markets only and at our Visitor Centre and Whisky Shop. However, it is not available elsewhere in the UK or Europe. The Singleton of Glen Ord is a rich, smooth-tasting, well-balanced whisky with distinctive packaging. For the new Singleton of Glen Ord, a higher proportion of the liquid has been matured in European oak, delivering a rich, smooth-tasting, well-rounded style.
Glen Ord distillery was founded in 1838, making it one of the oldest in Scotland. Situated on the edge of the Black Isle west of Inverness, Glen Ord continues to malt its own barley and to use the long fermentation and slow distillation methods followed there for generations.
From Glen Ord distillery it is a short drive to a wide variety of attractions. To learn about the history of the area visit Dingwall or Inverness museums, Culloden Battlefield and Fort George. For castles it is only a short drive to Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness with Cawdor, Dunrobin & Eilean Donan Castles also worth a visit. For nature lovers trips to the National Nature Reserve at Glen Affric and dolphin watching at Channory Point, Fortrose are highlights.

College Hockey:Coleman's two points launch Miami over Ohio State
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The No. 5 Miami RedHawks, led by two-point efforts from forwards Blake Coleman and Riley Barber, go into the holiday break on a winning note after defeating Ohio State, 3-1, at the Schottenstein Center Saturday evening.
Coleman scored the eventual game-winner on a power play 3:33 into the second, and Barber added an insurance goal with 26 seconds left in the third into Ohio State's empty net.
Miami takes five out of six points from Ohio State.
"Ohio State plays a physical game and they play good defensively, so you have to get after them and make them make mistakes," Barber said. "I think us coming out and banging, making them coughing up the puck, was a key point to our game."
Miami's penalty kill was stifling, killing off all five penalties in Saturday's contest and nine penalties for the weekend. Ohio State did not manage its first power-play shot until its fifth power play of the game. Miami allowed three power-play goals last week to Lake Superior State.
"Our power play, again, we're not scoring a lot of goals," Ohio State coach Mark Osiecki said. "We have to generate something off of it. We are going to have to try to figure something out there, that is for sure. We can't continue going the way we're going on the power play."
Miami coach Enrico Blasi was pleased with the progress the RedHawks showed on the power play.
"Last week, we weren't very good on the penalty kill," Blasi said. "I thought this weekend, they were much more determined. We did a good job of keeping them to the outside. We blocked a lot of shots. When we didn't block it, we had a big save."
The RedHawks will enter the second half of the CCHA season tied for first place with Notre Dame with 30 points. Ohio State is in fourth place in the conference with 22 points.
The RedHawks dominated the first period, outshooting the Buckeyes, 11-5. Ohio State got bailed out by the post with five minutes left in the period when Kevin Morris had Ohio State goalie Brady Hjelle beat. Hjelle was not as lucky later in the frame. Miami's Alex Gacek fired a wrister from between the circles which snuck under Hjelle's glove-side post to give the RedHawks a 1-0 advantage.
"They came out with a purpose in the first period," Osiecki said. "We certainly didn't play to our liking in the first two periods."
"I thought the guys were into it right off the bat," Blasi said. "To get the first goal in the last minute was a huge momentum shift."
Miami carried the momentum into the second period, outshooting Ohio State, 13-7, and taking advantage of a power play. Coleman scored his fifth of the season 3:33 into third. He cleaned a rebound from Barber, whose shot glanced off an Ohio State leg and right to Coleman, who was trailing to play.
Ohio State came out in the third period with more energy and outshot the RedHawks, 11-10, for the stanza. Ohio State's Max McCormick scored from between the hashes with a shot that beat the glove of Ryan McKay.
McKay put together yet another sterling effort between the pipes for Miami. He stopped all but one of the 22 shots he faced. He has only allowed three goals in six games played. The RedHawks' freshmen goaltending duo have a goals-against average of 1.62.
"We're trying to continue to recruit to our culture," Blasi said. "Guys we are recruiting are guys who believe in what we're trying to doing in the program, and it is nice to see them develop and have success at the same time."
Osiecki, along with Miami freshmen Sean Kuraly and Barber, are traveling to Tarrytown, N.Y., tomorrow for the start of training camp for the United States World Junior Hockey Championships squad. Osiecki is an assistant for Team USA. Barber and Kuraly were named to the preliminary roster of 27. The camp will whittle the roster down to 23.
"It is obviously a huge tournament and I am honored to be able to try to make it and go over there with good effort and great attitude and see what happens," Barber said.
Both squads are taking the next 11 days off. Both the RedHawks and Buckeyes resume practice on Dec. 26, and play each other on Dec. 28 at the Three Rivers Classic in Pittsburgh.

Dream Eater Merry 2 of 6+ by Ushiki Yoshitaka
Not all dream demons exchange their dream domain for an earthly one; some access the human world to eliminate other dream demons. Engi Threepiece is one such, ingressing into the real world to avenge her sister's death at the hands of Pharos Hercules, who leads the charge to replace humans with dream demons.
I'm still waiting for an Elex back cover blurb that actually mentions Dream Eater Merry's male protagonist, Yumeji. Maybe next volume.

Awww...you just gotta cuddle Kome for patience above and beyond the call of duty. She lets Koyuki snatch away her toys, finishes off the diet kibble Koyuki turns her cute nose up at and allows Koyuki to relieve teething troubles on Kome's back. In short, Kome takes good care of Koyuki when mom and Taku are busy.
But with the arrival of Koyuki's kitten pals Gonta and Hime to Nakarai Manor, Kome needs to stretch her patience threefold.

Students play an important role in helping the PA profession stay current and progressive. Organizations provide a basis for students' professional growth through various student workshops, in-services, meetings and conferences that are available at reduced rates with membership.
Students are required to join the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA). Many publications are available to AAPA members free of charge (i.e., JAAPA, PA Journal, Clinician Review, PA Prescribing Reference). Student membership requires a one-time fee of $75 which expires 4 months after graduation. The New York State Society of Physician Assistants (NYSSPA) also offers student memberships, for a one-time fee of $60, which last for the duration of a student's enrollment in the program.
The Student Academy of AAPA (SAAAPA) provides information which may be of interest to Physician Assistant students, such as how to improve a program's Student Society, SAAAPA position on various topics, annual SAAAPA awards, other organizations that students can become involved with, and much more.
The student body has established a PA Student Society, which consists of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, Assembly of Representatives (AOR) Representative, AOR Alternate, House of Delegates (HOD) Representative, Student Diversity Committee Representative (SDCR), Constituent Chapter Student Representative, External Affairs Chairperson, and Student Society Historian. The Student Society provides a background of valuable experience for involvement and professional enrichment. Student societies provide PA students with a chance to interact with other students who have the same interests. These interactions can serve many purposes, such as helping to meet other students in a social atmosphere; working to educate others about the PA profession; improving the community with projects the society implements; or enhancing one's own leadership skills. The student society provides a way for you to get involved with your peers, the PA profession, and the community.

John McLaughlin: Manha De Carnaval
Manha De Carnaval
John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar)
The Guitar Trio (Verve 314 533 215-2)
John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar), Al Di Meola (acoustic guitar).
Composed by Luiz Bonfa.
Recorded: Wiltshire, England, Summer 1996
Rating: 94/100 (learn more)
McLaughlin has been playing the Brazilian standard "Manha De Carnaval," sometimes called "Black Orpheus" because of the movie it came from, since at least 1980 when he performed it in trio with Larry Coryell and Paco De Lucia. This is a duet with Al Di Meola. John is the stronger lyrical player even though you would tend to think any Latin music would be more of Di Meola's bailiwick. The tune's sad but optimistic melody is the perfect canvas for McLaughlin to paint washes of nuance.

Necrophagy in the backyard: Necrophila americana feeding on a dead shrew
This luckless shrew—a product of my backyard—fell victim to a certain feline whose identity may be obvious to the regular readers of this blog. The next day, these conspicuous beetles had started eating the corpse. A search in BugGuide.net identified them as the American carrion beetle or Necrophila americana; what a wonderful name.
There were times when 2, or even 3 of the beetles, accompanied with several flies, were on the shrew.
I also noticed these quite small flies. I have no idea what they are, although their red eyes remind me of fruit flies.
The only good thing that came out of this senseless waste of life—it was quite meaningful to the cat, of course—was a chance for me to observe and photograph these beetles that I had never seen before. And luckily, even in the summer heat, the odor of dead shrews, being such small mammals—this one was only about 7 cm long—is not noticeable unless you bring your nose close to them.

Loving, beautiful, hardworking, strong, funny, amazing, honest, fearless, protective, smart, and inspirational. If there is one person in your life who fits this description, it is your mom. The list of words to describe your mom is endless.
Mothers are the hardest working in the world. They not only give you life, they nurture and love you, and they take care of you. When you're sick they care for you, they lie awake beside you when you can't sleep, comfort you when you're sad or down and support you in every step you take. They are always there for you.
It is only fair we dedicate a day to appreciate them- although we should remember to appreciate them every day- they deserve this special day to be acknowledged.
There are many ways to present your love and gratitude to your mother this Mother's Day. If words in a card just don't seem like enough to do so, you can always turn to music. Music is one of the most common and expressive ways to do so. Many artists used their talents and shared their love for their mothers by dedicating a song to them, giving listeners the opportunity to do the same.
Here is a list of songs dedicated to mothers. With these songs you can make a playlist of your favorites, create a slideshow or video with a special background song or even perform one to show your mom how special she is to you.
Backstreet Boys- 'The Perfect Fan'
BSB describe their moms as the perfect fan and thanks them for always being there and showing them everything they know.
"You were always there for me/ pushing me, guiding me/ always to succeed"
Kanye West- 'Hey Mama'
This song dedicated to Kanye's mother illustrates his love and gratitude for his mother as he sings of their difficulties and his mother's strength through it all.
"See you're unbreakable, unmistakable, highly capable, lady that's making loot, a living legend too"
Boyz II Men- 'A Song for Mama'
"You were there for me to love and care for me/ when skies were grey, whenever I was down/ you were always there to comfort me and no one else can be what you have been to me"
"Mama, you know I love you/ mama, mama, you're the queen of my heart/ your love is like tears from the stars/ mama, I just want you to know, lovin' you like food to my soul"
Good Charlotte- 'Thank You Mom'
"I said I thank you, I'll always thank you/ More than you would know, than I could ever show/ And I love you, I'll always love you/ There's nothing I won't do to say these words to you that you're beautiful forever"
"You were my mom, you were my dad/ The only thing I ever had was you, it's true/ And even when the times got hard you were there to let us know that we'd get though/ You showed me how to be a man, you taught me how to understand the things people do"
Talib Kweli- 'Momma Can You Hear Me'
Whenever Talib Kweli begins to doubt himself, he knows he can turn to his mother for reassurance.
"And I wonder 'momma, can you hear me?' when I'm doubting myself… my lips tight, but my body language's shouting for help"
His mother would encourage him, "She showed me how to shoot for the starts until I put a hole in the sky"
Drake- 'Look What You've Done'
Another song of hardships, Drake thanks his mom for believing in him and helping him become the man he is today.
"Look what you've done for me now, you knew that I was gonna be something/ we stressed out, and you need some, I got you/ look what you've done"
Spice Girls- 'Mama'
This beautiful ballad's concept reflects our teenage years when we tend to misunderstand our mothers and later grow to realize the love our mothers have for us.
"Every other day I crossed the line, I didn't mean to be so bad/ I never thought you would become the friend I never had/ back then I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood, so now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love"
NSYNC- '(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time On You'
Although this song can be for any woman, NSYNC dedicated this song for their moms. The music video featured a mother and son's relationship from birth to adulthood.
"Your love is like a river, peaceful and deep/ your soul is like a secret that I could never keep"
Alicia Keys- 'Superwoman'
"Superwoman" is an empowering song for all the ladies who stay strong through adversity. This song can be dedicated to our mothers, who are our own superwoman.
"For all the mothers fighting for better days to come and all my women, all my women sitting here trying to come home before the sun/ And all my sisters coming together, say yes I will, yes I can"
Christina Aguilera- 'Oh Mother'
Christina sings about her childhood and thanks her mother for being strong and leaving her father.
She thanks her mother and reassures her, "So mother, I thank you for all that you've done and still do/ You got me, I got you/ Together we always pull through"

Is it possible to fetch commit messages from bitbucket via json or something so that a project manager can see what the changes are without having to look at the code. If it's possible can you give me some ideas on how to do it.
As already mentioned by Yannis in his comment, you can use the Bitbucket API.
The documentation for changesets says that you can use the following URI to get a list of all changesets for a repository:
For example, https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/jespern/django-piston/changesets
This does return JSON, but I doubt that this is really comfortable to read for a (non-technical?) manager.
--> I guess I'd rather give him the link to the list of commits in Bitbucket's GUI.

The Campus Energy Program extends the impacts of MITEI research and education by developing and demonstrating sustainable energy practices on campus.
Not only does this help to foster a more sustainable campus and local environment, but it can also help to inform and enhance the innovative energy education and research that MITEI seeks to develop. The goal is to lead and educate by example by increasing energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, utilizing renewable energy, and reducing energy costs on campus. The Campus Energy Program has built awareness and allowed many more people across campus to engage with, learn from, and enrich the MIT Energy Initiative in different capacities
A comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory (pdf) was first completed for MIT in 2003 and helped inform and focus Campus Energy efforts. Specifically, MIT is taking action to address campus energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by:
In January 2010, President Hockfield deepened MIT's commitment to transforming the global energy system and advancing sustainability by joining 25 of her national and international counterparts in signing the World Economic Forum's Global University Leaders Forum (GULF) Sustainable Campus Charter. The charter commits MIT to embrace a series of sustainable development principles that guide campus operations towards a more energy-efficient and sustainable future. This commitment will be a guiding feature in many aspects of our campus development, and we look forward to engaging the broad MIT community in shaping our progress.

Grimm: GOP Erred, Never Should Have Trusted Obama
Reports coming out of Washington show that it appears as if the House GOP has blinked and will accept the Senate bill on the payroll tax cut.
In a statement sent out moments ago, Congressman Michael Grimm of Staten Island assailed his fellow Republicans, for as he put, having confidence in the trustworthiness of President Barack Obama.
"Republicans made one big mistake in the payroll tax debate, and that was having any confidence that President Obama's intentions were sincere," he said. "When the president told us that he too stood behind a responsible one-year extension of the payroll tax, we foolishly believed him. Why shouldn't we? No one, including the president, thinks that a two-month band-aid is a better policy than a one-year fix. Sadly, he proved once again that he is incapable of putting partisan politics aside, and flip-flopped on his position."
Democrats point out that while the president said he wanted a one-year deal, the two-month deal was a compromise to get Republicans on board. Many of those Republicans however have been on the record saying they don't think the payroll tax cut should be extended at all, and they added on other policy provisions in order to make the bill distasteful to Democrats.
Mr. Grimm says that President Obama is merely using the Congress as a tool in his campaign narrative to run against both parties in Washington.
"If President Obama had any leadership qualities, he would have stuck to his guns and fought for the best policy for the American people. As the highest official in the Democratic Party, he could have urged the Senate to support a long-term deal or at least to engage in thoughtful debate. Instead, he failed to lead and seized an opportunity for his own campaign's political advantage.
"This president knows he can't run on his leadership ability or completely failed policies, so he plays into campaign statistics that tell him to run against a broken Congress. Urging the Senate to work with House Republicans on a responsible policy deal and start changing the broken culture of Washington doesn't help him in the polls, so he flip-flopped. The true story of what's happened in the payroll tax debate simply comes down to presidential politics. Regardless of who wins this battle, there is sure to be one clear loser: our country."


text: When the 2013 collegiate campaign got underway, many had Alabama OT Cyrus Kouandjio as a projected top 5-10 draft pick. However, he didn't turn in the best season, and lingering questions about the condition of his knees have helped cause his draft stock to sink. ESPN NFL Insider Todd McShay has Kouandjio just outside of his Top 32 (No. 33, in fact) in his latest rankings.
