Jay Hopler's Green Squall is the winner of the 2005 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition. As Louise Glück observes in her foreword, "Green Squall begins and ends in the garden"; however, Hopler's gardens are not of the seasonal variety evoked by poets of the English lyric—his gardens flourish at lower, fiercer latitudes and in altogether different mindscapes. There is a darkness in Hopler's work as deep and brutal as any in American poetry. Though his verbal extravagance and formal invention bring to mind Wallace Stevens's tropical extrapolations, there lies beneath Green Squall's lush tropical surfaces a terrifying world in which nightmare and celebration are indistinguishable, and hope is synonymous with despair.

Chapter One
IN THE GARDEN And the sky! Nooned with the steadfast blue enthusiasm Of an empty nursery. Crooked lizards grassed in yellow shade. The grass was lizarding, Green and on a rampage. Shade tenacious in the crook of a bent stem. Noon. This noon- Skyed, blue and full of hum, full of bloom. The grass was lizarding.
OF PARADISE There is a black fly drowning in that glass of beer. There is a black fly drowning in that glass of beer. How can no one notice it, That black fly? Black as a zero is useless. Black as grammar school. The man with the beer is a fisherman, Small and gigantic In his white rubber boots. How sick we are, the three of us, Of Paradise.
1 Being born is a shame-But it's not so bad, as journeys go. It's not the worst one We will ever have to make. It's almost noon And the light now clouded in the courtyard is Like that light one finds in baby pictures: old And pale and hurt- 2 When all roads are low and lead to the same Place, we call it Fate and tell ourselves how We were born to make the journey. Who's To say we weren't? 3 The clouded light has changed to rain. The picture-. No, the baby's blurry. 4 That's me-, the child playing in the sand with a pail And shovel; in the background, my mother's shadow Is crawling across a soot-blackened collapse of brick And timber, what might have been a bathhouse once. The tide is coming in-. Someone has written HELL On its last standing wall.
1 How high and white the moon! And vampired-. Like the light a child Sinking sees. A child pushed by its mother Through the hole in the ice. 2 Are there daffodils In that vase ... Yellow daffodils In that blue Vase? Are there spiders In the corners, In the corn- Ices, The eaves? 3 If I am sinking, how comes it I can breathe? 4 If I put a daffodil In that vase, A single yellow daffodil In that blue Vase-. No, That moon Would still be useless. Still useless. Like the human race. 5 What use is such a flimsy soul- Let spiders suck the light of me And silk it into corners! Tell me, Mother, truly- What use is such a flimsy soul?
THE BOXCARS OF CONSOLIDATED RAIL FREIGHT Those angels of history are whispering, again, That I'm the product of two people who should have known Better. Now one of them is dying. The other is going Crazy over it. I know-. To this day, there's a space behind My eyes that stays lit like some small-town museum's North Atlantic collection. weeds- I think I read somewhere that certain Birds prefer a dust bath, but that seems a wretched comfort On a day like this is shaping up to be; listen: the wind's not Even moving the leaves around; the grass is growing brittle, Giving up its green. Birds bursting into flame in mid-flight, That's what I half-expect to see when I cross to the window- The day cracking down the middle-falling into the weeds.
ACADEMIC DISCOURSE AT MIAMI: WALLACE STEVENS AND THE DOMESTICATION OF LIGHT I have no beef with Wallace Stevens Even if some of his poems do feel like so much tropical slumming. I only wish he could have lived here, in Florida, instead of simply Visiting once in a while-; how much more essential his summer- Minded poems would have been! Not that a poem like "Farewell To Florida" is solely summer-minded or is, somehow, inessential- Only, that there exists a difference between the tropical light one Finds beaming in a Stevens poem and the tropical light one finds Burning in the tropics. Florida's light is far more aggressive, far More violent, than Stevens knew- It gets inside your head and shreds Things, dismantles memory, shorts out the will; even now, at six O'clock of a Friday evening, the light here in Florida is clanging, Banging, rattling buildings, burning through the park's green pelt. This never happens in a Stevens poem.
MEDITATION ON RUIN It's not the lost lover that brings us to ruin, or the barroom brawl, or the con game gone bad, or the beating Taken in the alleyway. But the lost car keys, The broken shoelace, The overcharge at the gas pump Which we broach without comment-these are the things that eat away at life, these constant vibrations In the web of the unremarkable. The death of a father-the death of the mother- The sudden loss shocks the living flesh alive! But the broken pair of glasses, The tear in the trousers, These begin an ache behind the eyes. And it's this ache to which we will ourselves Oblivious. We are oblivious. Then, one morning-there's a crack in the water glass-we wake to find ourselves undone.
OUT OF THESE WOUNDS, THE MOON WILL RISE Now that the sun has set and the rain has abated, And every porch light in the neighborhood is lit, Maybe we can invent something; I'd like a new Way of experiencing the world, a way of taking Into myself the single light shining at the center Of all things without losing the dense, eccentric Planets orbiting around it. What you'd like is a more Attentive lover, I suppose-. Too bad that slow, Wet scorch of orange blossoms floating towards The storm drain is not a vein of stars ... we could Make a wish on one of them; not that we would Wish for anything but the impossible.
1 in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of moonlit humidors and prehistoric orchards in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of piebald lizards and succulent lumberyards in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of seismic pineapples and republican guitars in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of lissome picnics and translucent pubic hair alcoholic trolley cars made love in glacial lakes 2 alcoholic trolley cars made love in glacial lakes-beware the sunburned humming birds! glacial lakes made love in alcoholic trolley cars-beware the funereal ice cream parlors! alcoholic trolley cars made love to glacial lakes-beware the ravenous avenues of glass! glacial lakes made love to alcoholic trolley cars-beware the clairvoyant mooring buoy! 3 in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of Gnostic frogmen and pornographic asphalt in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of contrite juggernauts and vestigial kimonos in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of strident vitamins and cloistered bartenders in the time of dreary miracles-before the coming of languid hangmen and gratuitous rutabagas mosquitoes were worshipped by biopsy needles
4 mosquitoes were worshipped by biopsy needles-beware the convoluted history of pins! mosquitoes were worshipped by biopsy needles-beware the parenthetical glockenspiel! mosquitoes were worshipped by biopsy needles-beware the obligatory kiss on the arm! mosquitoes were worshipped by biopsy needles-beware the monochromatic jet stream!
APPROACHING THE TOWER Light! Light! Light! The stars tonight are like tinfoil fleas On a black rat. I'm here. Not far from the train yards. Not far from the river. My eyes no less blue than they ever were. Look in my mirror, Mother. Tell me if my good Heart isn't bad luck. Tonight, I'm no more resigned to light Than some canary, Its eyes pried open with pins. How come more children Don't mistake the river for a schoolyard, Dark as it is? Nothing moving but the trains. And the trees, so quiet. Like towers. Waiting for their snipers to arrive.
THE FRUSTRATED ANGEL The Angel says if I want to be a sucker, that's my business, But it's all about service, not servitude-in this world, you Either become a monster or you wait on one. O, Hopler! If only sitting on your hands was heroic! If only boredom was a form of prayer! The Angel says I have the quiet confidence and smoldering Good looks one usually associates with more confident and attractive people. A coward's confession-, that's what he thinks my ulcer is. He thinks I should knock some heads together if I'm really So convinced everyone is such a mother- Fucker. I see what they mean, Hopler- one really does get tired of you. He wants to know how often I've been mistaken for a shrub. The Angel says if you beat someone long enough and hard enough, They will learn to love you for it. That's mighty big talk, isn't it, Hopler-coming from a man who lives with his mother? Hopler, I've had it with all your crying and complaining. If I wanted to hear whining, I'd kick a dog.
NOTHING TO DO NOW BUT SIT AND WAIT 1 A pair of African parakeets lands in the backyard And vanishes, or seems to, because their feathers Are a green that matches the grass almost exactly And because the light by which the lawn is being Lit is weaker than it used to be- 2 Last-legged, A little closer to ghostly; a little closer to October Than to April, actually-, though it's not quite as Visibly bristled or as sharply defined. April's got A way of doing that, slumming about in autumn's Ragged clothes, throwing long, funereal shadows, Taking shallow breaths- 3 The parakeets are preening, Plucking feathers from their breasts. The wind is Bearing them away so quickly-, so quietly. It's Like they were never here.
LITTLE MIRRORS OF DESPAIR It is the end of a beautiful summer-. It is going to rain and my mother is humming. The closely cropped leaves of the boxwood reflect an oncoming moonlight; the breeze carries it across The koi pond. Is it really so bad, this garden with its koi fish ponded ... its birds seed-fed ... my mother humming- Her voice so soft ..., so far-off-hearted, Like the sound of the grass lying down. Couldn't we be happy Here? The rain is just beginning to fall. The sky gives up its water like an old woman wringing The life out of her son. The drops hit the still surface of the koi pond And shatter it, the ripples and rings sparkling Like little moonlit Mirrors of despair.
MEDITATION ON A BLUE VASE I have a blue vase but no flowers. I never have any flowers, not one of my neighbors has ever given me flowers. I keep an empty blue vase empty. I should fill it. With what, white mice and charcoal? I should fill it. With what, Chinese bees? If I fill it, my estranged neighbor will give me flowers and I will have no place to put them. Should I fill it with red prawns and tobacco? Should I fill it with my own gold teeth? I have a blue vase but no flowers. I have no flowers. My neighbor has them all.
LIKE THE STARE OF SOME GLASS-EYED GOD If we are not busy fixing what we have broken, we are busy breaking What, someday, we will need to fix. As for that which cannot be broken- As for that for which there is no fix- I wish we were patches Of that miraculous afternoon light: Bright. Unbroken. Fixed On the grass- Imagine! Being fixed on the grass. How sad ..., what has come to pass For the miraculous.
Of the two undiscovered countries, Life and Death, Which one lies the closer to God?
Chapter Two
The Bird in the Courtyard
Those whirls she trailed of red, flocked, Cloth across the black macadam of the parking lot
Looked nothing like some trapped bird's fear-dropped feathers. And yet, that's what I thought of when I saw her: that red bird in the courtyard,
Trapped-its feathers like scraps of red cloth Dropping against the black mesh
Of the screen door. A cardinal, I think it was- Lean and summer-hungry.
Summer-hungry, can that be right? I didn't think things went hungry in the summer.
The Woman in Red
She trailed across that parking lot Such worlds of red-, it was as if the sky had taken off its hinges the last black door of winter and let go
A sigh, the first, long satisfied sigh of summer. Satisfied-that can't be right; summer's never
Satisfied, never quite. It's never quiet, either; it doesn't sigh, It cries. It howls. It bleats and groans. Its stomach growls-
The rookery islands and the mangrove strands, The mossy hummocks and the season beaches,
Echo at all hours with the roiling, Mad cacophonies of that longing.
The Courtyard
Sitting in this courtyard, thinking of the bird That was trapped here and the woman in red,
Listening to the tree frogs wring their rubber tongues in the moist air, breathing deep the heaving-green Smell of the peat moss and the palm trees, watching the leaves of the mangos and the limes, the guavas,
Tremble, grow still-tremble and grow still- You know what I long for?
An end to summer.
The Courtyard
Just imagine the peace in that quiet.
And the clouds this morning! Moving like a herd of curtains across a pasture of blue glass-
It would be a relief; no, it would be A release-
Not just from something, but into something, Into the midst of something: a day endowed with summer's Jungled lushness but lacking its lust-
Yes-, a lack of lust! That's what I Long for. To live in the midst of the physical, the visceral, Untroubled by the crush Of want-
We Cannot Love the World as It Is
We cannot love the world as it is, Because the world, as it is, is impossible to love.
We have only to lust for it- To lust for each other in it-
And, somehow, to make that suffice.
No, somehow to make that sacrifice.
The Goddess of the Parking Lot
Maybe it was Ceres I saw that day, Moving across that parking lot in breeze-blown blooms of red, flocked, cloth and not just some woman who was A credit to her dress. Unlikely, I admit-but wouldn't it Make sense? In a world overrun with hunger engines whose need to consume everything is bringing them, once again, to the brink of their own extinction, Where else but a parking lot-a used-up, paved-over field- Would one expect to find a goddess Of agriculture?
And one bedecked in red, no less! Red-the color of passion, lust and blood-the color of war, not wheat-the color of Mars with its two moons, Deimos and Phobos, Panic and Fear, fixed in their morbid orbits. Mars was the god of grain for a time, but he gave it up for war, a growth industry- He didn't see much future in fertility. Poor Ceres-. Gone the blood route, Too, I see.
Still-, she looked so beautiful In that red dress. Even if it wasn't the one she was born to wear, She made of it a fit, magnificent-an exquisiteness the fire-wild billowings of which lit a day
Not otherwise enlightened and lifted from that place the gray weight of late-winter cloud cover, raising it above the streetlamps for the first time In months. And whether she had come as feast or as famine- In the name of war or wheat, I did not care-for the miracle Of that dress alone would I have loved her.
Meditation on the Nature of Human Freedom
Our bonds are inescapable. Freedom's not Our natural state, nor does it follow, naturally, the mere cessation of restraint. Even in the absence of our masters, Are we mastered; even in the absence of the father, we wait upon the father upon whom have we waited our lives Long. That wasn't Ceres I saw that day, gliding across The parking lot in breeze-blown blooms of red-flocked Cloth, but the daughter of Erysichthon, Turning herself into a bird-a cardinal- Her feathers billowing up in great red clouds around her as she moved across that parking lot. She had no earthly reason to reenact those wrongs to which her Father and her masters had subjected her; yet, she did just that. And when her transformation was complete, She flew off not to seek her father's house-for she knew it to be ruined- But to seek a place that would in ways Approximate that prison. What brought her to my father's house, I do not know. No place is there less prison-like Than this; the rooms are few and small, But all are cool and quiet-clean, uncluttered and at all times brightly lit. Perhaps it was the cardinal's guard that brought her here-
It grows like a weed in the courtyard, its hot-red Bloom-spikes shooting up like rockets by the black screen doors. Someone must have left those screen doors open and she flew in. I found her perched on the fountain and because I did Not know her right at first, had not yet come to understand That freedom is unnatural, a curse, I misread her Relief as desperation and I set her free.
But how cruel it is to free a thing-to do so Is to contradict the nature of that thing, to insure that thing's erasure. Our bonds define us, after all; they're what protect us from an earth cursed by hunger. No wonder she flew from my shooing in frantic dashes and suicidal swoops! Those black doors standing open must have looked to her like her father's awful jaws pride Wide by want. By the time I realized who it was, It was too late. I'd chased her free and closed the doors behind her. Had I known, I might have let her stay. No- I would have. I would have. Let her stay.

Back when the Sci Fi miniseries was released and Le Guin made a fuss over what she called the whitewashing of Earthsea, I read dozens of testimonials by people of color all saying roughly the same thing: that the experience of reading Earthsea and discovering that it was peopled by characters who looked like them - something that they had never experienced before within the fantasy genre - was a vitally important moment in their development as readers and genre fans.

MINOR LEAGUE REPORT: All-star break breakdown of Pads system
JOHN MAFFEI - firstname.lastname@example.com
Most full-season minor leagues had their All-Star breaks last week. So midseason is a good time to take a look at three categories in the Padres system:
< Best Player -- Infielder Logan Forsythe and speedy outfielder Luis Durango have jumped to the head of the class. Forsythe, the former University of Arkansas star, was the 46th player taken in the 2008 draft. He played in 12 games last year after signing -- nine in the Arizona Rookie League and three at short-season Eugene.
He made the jump to the high single-A California League and was hitting .321 with 8 home runs and 29 RBIs at the all-star break and was named to the California League all-star team. His play also earned another promotion to double-A San Antonio.
Durango, the Panamanian flyer, was signed as a free agent in 2003. He has hit at every level, and is hitting .306 with 26 stolen bases and 46 runs scored. He's one of the few athletic players in the Padres system and has a chance to be a top-flight outfielder.
< Biggest Leap Forward -- No question here. Right-hander Mat Latos has made great strides. An 11th-round raft pick in 2007, Latos has been hampered by injuries and inconsistency.
He got two chances to pitch in the spring and gave up a 550-foot home run to Victor Martinez of the Indians and a 450-foot shot to Corey Hart of the Brewers.
Latos got a late start to the 2009 season after yet another injury, but was 3-0 with an 0.36 ERA in three starts at Low-A Fort Wayne.
The Padres jumped him over Lake Elsinore to Double-A San Antonio and was 4-1 with a 2.18 ERA at the break. In 58 1/3 innings this season, he has walked 12 with 64 strikeouts thanks in large part to a fastball that sits at 94-95 mph and tops out at 97.
"He's one of the few guys in the organization with 'stuff,'" said Padres general manager Kevin Towers. "It's OK to have guys in the system who can trick guys. But you need some guys who can throw a fastball at the letters by a guy."
< Biggest Disappointment -- On the fast track to the big leagues in 2007, second baseman Matt Antonelli struggled to hit over .200 last season at Triple-A Portland. He rallied to finish .215 with seven homers and 39 RBIs and got a call the big leagues in September. It didn't go any better there as he it .195 with a homer and three RBIs in 21 games.
Antonelli was hurt at the start of this season and consequently got a late start. After 32 games at Portland, he was hitting just .196.
The Padres also had high hopes for right-hander Steve Garrison, who was acquired from Milwaukee in 2007. He was 7-7 with a solid 3.82 at San Antonio last season, but is injured and hasn't pitched this season.
"Disappointing, very disappointing," Towers said.
All-Star news
< Latos, who is playing at Double-A San Antonio, was named to the U.S. team for the All-Star Futures game on July 14 in St. Louis. Durango, who is at Triple-A Portland, was named to the World Team. San Antonio manager Terry Kennedy was named a coach for the U.S. squad.
< Lake Elsinore's Cory Luebke, who played at Ohio State and was the 63rd player taken in 2007, started for the California League against the Carolina League all-stars on Tuesday at Lake Elsinore and threw two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. Jeremy McBryde, a free agent signing out of Rose State in Oklahoma in 2007, pitched a scoreless third inning and Wynn Pelzer, a ninth-round draftee out of South Carolina in 2007, hurled a scoreless sixth with two strikeouts. Bryan Oland, a 24th rounder out of Sonoma State in 2007, pitched one inning and surrendered a run, but was the victim of two errors. Forsythe was 0-for-2 with two strikeouts. The California League was a 2-1 winner in 10 innings.
We're No. 1
< San Antonio was 16-20 in mid-May, but the Missions got hot and won the first-half title with a 39-31 record in the Texas League south division with a 3-2, 11-inning victory over Corpus Christi on Tuesday. San Antonio manager Pitchers Nathan Culp, Ernesto Frieri and Cesar Carrillo were the keys to that resurgence. The Missions' first-half offense was anchored by All-Star outfielders Mike Baxter -- who was been promoted to Triple-A Portland -- and Durango, as well as infielders Eric Sogard and Craig Cooper. Cooper ranks third in batting with a .355 average. Frieri, Culp, Latos and fellow pitcher Eric Scribner are among six Missions who'll participate in the Texas League All-Star game on July 1 in Frisco along with Durango and DH Craig Cooper.
< Fort Wayne finished the first half 20 games over .500 at 45-25 and won the first half of Midwest League's eastern division.
< Lake Elsinore had a great first half at 39-31, but finished four games behind High Desert in the California League's south division. The Storm, however, are in a good position for a wild-card playoff spot with a seven-game lead over Inland Empire heading into the second half.
Draft update
< The Padres signed Jerry Sullivan, a third-round pick out of Oral Roberts. Sullivan is said to be a hard-throwing, polished right-hander. He's the highest pick of the 31 draftees already signed.
< The Padres still haven't signed their top two picks -- high school outfielders Donovan Tate and Everett Williams. Both are said to be immensely talented, but have college options -- Tate to North Carolina and Williams to Florida State -- that may hinder negotiations. Hard-throwing high school right-handers Keyvius Sampson (fourth round) and James Needy (sixth round) out of Santana High aren't signed either.
< Jeff Tezak, who played at Mt. Carmel High, Palomar College and Nebraska, has signed with the Chicago White Sox. San Diego State right-hander Goldy Simmons also signed with the Sox.
Around the bases
< Eric Munson, the former Mt. Carmel High and USC star, is now a coach for the Double-A Arkansas Travelers after a long major-league career.
< Former Vista star Gera Alvarez is coaching the Midwest Sliders of the Independent Frontier League.
< Allan Dykstra, the former Rancho Bernardo and Wake Forest star who was the first pick of the Padres last season, was 9-for-31 last week with nine walks at Fort Wayne and raised his average to .213.
< Tim Murphy, the former Rancho Buena Vista and UCLA ace, has allowed just three earned runs over 14 innings in his last two starts for the Bakersfield Blaze of the California League.
< Former Torrey Pines star Jeff Nettles was named to the Atlantic League All-Star team. Former big leaguers Jon Knott and Nate Bump are also on the independent league's All-Star team.
< Former big-league pitchers Jose Lima and Hideki Irabu are pitching for the Long Beach Armada of the independent Golden Baseball League. Lima is 1-4 with a 3.57 ERA. Irabu is 3-0 with a 4.26 ERA. Former Padres shortstop Garry Templeton is the manager of the Armada.

Five nurses were included in The Daily Records 2013 list of Marylands Top 100 Women.
Created by The Daily Record, a Baltimore-based business newspaper, the award recognizes the outstanding achievements of professional women who work or live in Maryland and who have demonstrated significant professional accomplishments, outstanding community leadership and inspirational mentoring, according to a news release.
Nurses named to the list were Karen Kauffman, RN, PhD, CRNP-BC; Ann B. Mech, RN, JD; Peggy Naleppa, RN, MS, MBA, FACHE; Barbara Resnick, RN, PhD, CRNP, FAAN, FAANP; and Lisa Rowen, RN, DNSc.
In addition, Kauffman and Rowen were named to the 2013 Top 100 Womens Circle of Excellence, honoring those who have been named to the list three times.
For a second time, Naleppa, president/CEO at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury, Md., was named. She also was chosen for the award in 2011.
Naleppa, who has served as president/CEO since January of 2010, provides executive oversight of Peninsula Regionals strategic plan which, according to a news release, focuses on increasing physician numbers, advancing clinical and technological capabilities, evolving clinical integration of services, promoting an environment of patient-centered care and expanding ambulatory services.
The other four nurses are faculty members at the University of Maryland School of Nursing in Baltimore.
They are Kauffman, associate professor and chair, Department of Family and Community Health; Mech, assistant professor and coordinator of legal affairs; Resnick, professor and Sonya Ziporkin Gershowitz Chair in Gerontology; and Rowen, associate professor and senior vice president for patient services and CNO at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore.
"It is a very unique accomplishment for an organization to have four honorees named to this list of distinguished women at one time," UMSON Dean Jane M. Kirschling, RN, PhD, FAAN, said in the release. "We are very proud to count them among the members of our esteemed faculty."
According to the release, more than 500 nominations were reviewed by this years selection committee.
A panel of judges composed of business professionals and past Top 100 Women winners from throughout Maryland reviewed all of the applications, narrowing the list to select this years Top 100 Women.
The selection process includes multiple panels judging hundreds of applicants.
This year, 63 women were first-time recipients. The winners will be honored May 6 at a ceremony at the Meyerhof Symphony Hall in Baltimore.

With a name like "Three Chile Salsa" and being labeled "Hot," I expected this salsa to pack somewhat of a punch. And, while it "tasted" good, it definitely fell short of my expectations as far as the spiciness is concerned. The ingredients list says it contains jalapeno, habanero, and serrano peppers but, surprisingly, this salsa wasn't spicy at all. Like I said, it "tasted" good, but all you can taste is the tomato and garlic.

Cotton Caps Biggest Weekly Drop in 15 Months; Orange Juice Falls
Cotton fell, capping the biggest weekly drop in 15 months, on concern that bigger supplies in Asia will cut demand for fiber from the U.S., the world's top exporter. Orange juice slid. Sugar and cocoa rose. Coffee was steady.
Cotlook Ltd. yesterday boosted its estimate for world output by 0.6 percent from a month earlier because of improving crop prospects in India, the second-largest grower and shipper. The Indian currency touched an unprecedented 65.56 per dollar in Mumbai yesterday, according to prices from local banks compiled by Bloomberg.
"We have some real concerns that there's going to be more cotton in India," Louis W. Rose, an industry consultant in Memphis, Tennessee, said in a telephone interview. "The weak rupee is going to make their exports more attractive."
Cotton for December delivery fell 0.1 percent to settle at 84.08 cents a pound at 2:30 p.m. on ICE Futures U.S. in New York. This week, the commodity plunged 9.9 percent, the most since May 2012.
In the season started this month, U.S. shipments were already projected to drop 19 percent from a year earlier as production declines, the Department of Agriculture said. Imports from Pakistan, the world's fourth-biggest grower, may tumble this year as a jump in stockpiles help counter a potential fall in output, Khalid Abdullah, the nation's cotton commissioner, said in an interview. China is the biggest producer and importer.
Orange-juice futures for November delivery slid 2.1 percent to $1.356 a pound, the biggest drop since Aug. 12.
Raw-sugar futures for October delivery rose 1.2 percent to 16.47 cents a pound on ICE, the first gain since Aug. 13.
Cocoa futures for December delivery added 0.4 percent to $2,465 a metric ton. This week the price declined 1.2 percent. Arabica-coffee futures for December delivery closed unchanged at $1.1705 a pound.

New spin foam models for gravity have been recently proposed to deal with the shortcomings of the Barrett-Crane model. In particular, they draw a closer connection between the Loop Quantum Gravity and the Spin Foam approaches to non perturbative quantum gravity. In this talk, I will present the construction for the case of Lorentzian signature and finite Immirzi parameter. An area operator can be defined and its spectrum agrees with the one defined in LQG. Finally, the amplitude is shown to be finite after a suitable regularization.
We give an overview of what we have called the \'LQG spinfoam models,\' that provide a spinfoam dynamics for LQG, for arbitrary values of the Barbero-Immirzi parameter in both Lorentzian and Euclidean signatures. The key motivation behind these models was to modify the Barrett-Crane model, by handling more carefully certain constraints, called simplicity constraints, which become second class in the quantum theory. As a result, the kinematics of the models exactly match those of LQG.
We study various aspects of power suppressed as well as exponentially suppressed corrections in the asymptotic expansion of the degeneracy of quarter BPS dyons in N=4 supersymmetric string theories. In particular we explicitly calculate the power suppressed corrections up to second order and the first exponentially suppressed corrections. We also propose a macroscopic origin of the exponentially suppressed corrections using the quantum entropy function formalism.
I will discuss the various sources of non-Gaussianity (NG) in a class of multi-field models of inflation. I will show that there is both an intrinsic and a local contribution to the NG although they both have the same shape. It is also possible in this class of models that the dominant part to the 3-pt function comes from loop diagrams. These models are of the hybrid type and while they occur naturally in string theory, the conditions for the NG to be important are not generic.
We report on recent progress in understanding string compactifications to four dimensions, preserving minimal supersymmetry. We develop a general formalism to construct the kinetic terms of the low energy degrees of freedom. At strong warping, new light Kaluza-Klein modes appear, which change the effective action for the complex and Kahler moduli. We explain how to determine these new fields starting from 10d, and find their couplings to the zero mode sector.
In two dimensional CFTs the Zamolodchikov\'s c-theorem is fundamental in that it shows that the number of degrees of freedom decreases along the renormalization group flow. I will give a short history of and discuss recent developments in the quest to find its four-dimensional analogue using the central charges a & c.
There is an ongoing debate in the literature concerning the effects of averaging out inhomogeneities (``backreaction\'\') in cosmology. In particular, it has been suggested that the backreaction can play a significant role at late times, and that the standard perturbed FLRW framework is no longer a good approximation during structure formation, when the density contrast becomes nonlinear.
Non-Gaussianity is a powerful observable that may reveal important properties of the fundamental physics of inflation, with qualitative and quantitative features of higher order correlation functions distinguishing between models. Here I will discuss the structure of correlation functions in the most general single field inflation model and explain why this information is important for making use of observations from the CMB and large scale structure.
Despite over 40 years of research on Bell-type inequalities and the question of non-locality, new technical results that have general foundational relevance can still be obtained. In this talk will present a number of new results that deal with the question of how to discern local, quantum and no-signaling correlations. • 1) I will present a non-trivial no-signaling inequality that discerns no-signaling correlations from general correlations - the first to our knowledge. This inequality has a striking similarity with the CHSH inequality, yet it is crucially different.

Browne, Faxon break down Augusta's greens
Kelly Tilghman is joined by Olin Browne and Brad Faxon to discuss the unique and diabolical characteristics of Augusta National's greens.-Are there any greens in the world, guys, like the ones at Augusta National ? -I haven't confronted them, I haven't been exposed to them. No. There are not. -Nothing to compare. -There's certainly the bar, which everything else is measured. And whenever you go to any other place in the world, they always score these as quick as Augusta. Are these like the Masters? What are-- what's the difference in your speeds? Kelly, we talked about how the Masters in Augusta National makes you see pictures on the golf course -- draws, fades. It does the same for me on the putting green there. There was so much slope that you had tovery nervous. It seems like from the time you got to the golf course on Thursday morning, something happened from Wednesday. The greens always seem to be a little bit faster. And particularly, the first hole.
Augusta on my mind: Players' mental preparation
Kelly Tilghman is joined by Brad Faxon, Olin Browne and Tripp Isenhour for insight into what the players are thinking about on Tuesday at Augusta National.first day and this is the biggest throne in the world. -Tripp, Bubba Watson is trying to do what only three great champions have ever done in Masters history and that is successfully defend his title. We're talking about Nicholas Faldo and Woods, if you want to join their company. -Yeah, that's a good company but I got a question for Brad. Were you ever uncomfortable on the greens? I don't think I've ever seen it. -Anywhere in your life. -Anytime. But maybe I guess the National, I do that too, even Brad Faxon but Bubba Watson , what he has done defending this tournament is so difficult because first of all, it's incredibly difficult to win the Masters. Let alone win it back to back years and if you look at the last 25 champions, when they were defending their title, 5 have missed the cut and the average finish was 19. Buba Watson does hit a lot of greens. That is necessary. Seven or last ten winners have been in the top 5 in greens and regulation. That's the key and Bubba Watson does do that. The key for him is gonna be that putter. I don't-- Bubba Watson is one of the top on the tour in 2 putts per round. That's not necessarily a good thing but with his length, he's able to capitalize on the par 5's. He did that last year. So, Bubba Watson will hit greens again. I expect that. It's just gonna be those key putts that you have to make to win the

With the Portuguese capture of Malacca in 1511, the Malay kingdom re-established itself in Johor. It is believed that Sultan Mahmud Shah, the last ruler of Malacca, founded of Johor, he was forced to flee from the Portuguese in 1511.
After the death of Sultan Mahmud Shah, his son Alauddin Riayat Shah moved the capital to Kota Tinggi in Johor. The Sultan was able to build a strong kingdom, was feared by many of his enemies, and was able to make Johor a preeminent Malay state. However, this did not make the end of fights and intrusion from intruders and outsiders. In the 16th Century, the state was again attacked by the Portuguese followed by the Achinese from Sumatra, and later the Bugis from Sulawesi. However, the Malay rulers of Johor managed to hold their empire against all odds. For the next several centuries Johor played an important role in the regional power struggles, has eventually developed to become one of the most populated states in Malaysia.
For the next decades, Johor's modern history started began with Dato' Temenggong Daing Ibrahim, the son of Temenggong Abdul Rahman, who was a descendant of Sultan Abdul Jalil IV of Johor. In 1819, when Sir Stamford Raffles set foot in Singapore, he witnessed the civil war within the court of the Johor Sultan, which was divided by Malay kingdom and Bugis government. He pensioned off the sultans and gave actual power to the "Temenggong" (Malay minister). Hence, Temenggong Abu Bakar was given that privilege to rule Johor.
In 1855, under the terms of a treaty between the British in Singapore and Sultan of Johor, the land of Johor was opened to Chinese settlers from Singapore, and the cultivation of pepper was initiated, bringing Johor its initial economic base. The Temenggong was succeeded by his son, Dato' Temenggong Abu Bakar, who was formally crowned Sultan of Johor in 1886 and he elevated himself to the position of Sultan. He persevered to build up the state and to modernize its administration. Sultan Abu Bakar established Johor Bahru(New Johor) as the capital city and began modernizing it. The Sultan gave Johor its constitution, developed its modern administrative system, and reconstructed the Istana Besar--the official residence of the Sultan. Because of his great contribution in the development of Modern Johor state. He was thus aptly called "The Father of Modern Johor".
In 1941, the peninsula fell under Japanese occupation and finally became part of the Federation of Malaya in 1948. After independence in 1957, Malaysia has evolved into a combination of constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. Johor is now a prosperous state with an expanding economy, fueled by agriculture, manufacturing, commerce and tourism.
The state continued its glories throughout the 19th and 20th century. Today its economy continues to exhibit strong growth, with healthy industrial development and outstanding trade and business facilities.

If You Felt the Building Shaking in Tokyo Earlier, That Was Just the Earthquake
Japan's southern coast was hit with a 6.9 magnitude quake, but everyone seems to be okay.
Japan's southern coast was hit with a 6.9 magnitude earthquake yesterday, causing buildings in downtown Tokyo to actually sway. It's okay to think that image sounds a little cool, because no damage or injuries were reported, and Japan's meteorological agency said there was no danger of a tsunami. [WP]

Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong said the mega-hit "American Idiot" -- which led to the creation of a Broadway musical of the same name -- was inspired by the terror attacks of Sept. 11.

How Settling a 2nd Mortgage After Bankruptcy Affects Your Credit
We have a 2nd mortgage that was dischagred in bankruptcy. Now the lender has offered a settlement that is considerably less than what is owed. What I'm wondering is how the settlement will affect our credit. The offer letter says that they will report it as "settled for less than owed." Since it was discharged, though, can it even be reported? Any advice would be helpful!

The Irresistible Fairy Tale: The Cultural and Social History of a Genreby Jack Zipes
View All Available Formats & Editions
If there is one genre that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life throughout the world, it is the fairy tale. Yet we still have great difficulty understanding how it originated, evolved, and spread--or why so many people cannot resist its appeal, no matter how it changes or what form it takes. In this book, renowned fairy-tale expert Jack Zipes
If there is one genre that has captured the imagination of people in all walks of life throughout the world, it is the fairy tale. Yet we still have great difficulty understanding how it originated, evolved, and spread--or why so many people cannot resist its appeal, no matter how it changes or what form it takes. In this book, renowned fairy-tale expert Jack Zipes presents a provocative new theory about why fairy tales were created and retold--and why they became such an indelible and infinitely adaptable part of cultures around the world.
Drawing on cognitive science, evolutionary theory, anthropology, psychology, literary theory, and other fields, Zipes presents a nuanced argument about how fairy tales originated in ancient oral cultures, how they evolved through the rise of literary culture and print, and how, in our own time, they continue to change through their adaptation in an ever-growing variety of media. In making his case, Zipes considers a wide range of fascinating examples, including fairy tales told, collected, and written by women in the nineteenth century; Catherine Breillat's film adaptation of Perrault's "Bluebeard"; and contemporary fairy-tale drawings, paintings, sculptures, and photographs that critique canonical print versions.
While we may never be able to fully explain fairy tales, The Irresistible Fairy Tale provides a powerful theory of how and why they evolved--and why we still use them to make meaning of our lives.

One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2012
"Zipes is a powerful defender of folklore and succeeds in exploring its role in cultural history as well as its influence today."Maria Taylor,Times Literary Supplement
"Zipes is the undisputed 'king' of the literary criticism of fairy tales kingdom. . . . A rich, persuasive, magical brew, graced by seven illustrations."Choice
"Zipes is considered one of the true experts on fairy tales. He brings considerable erudition to the book which covers some broad issues in fairy-tale analysis, such as how they spread . . . and the role of women collectors and narrators."Nidhi Mathur, Organiser
"In showing how and why fairy tales have become a core part of our central being, Zipes reveals his extensive scholarship in the field, as well as his skill in expounding profoundly about his key interests and concerns relating to the fairy tale genre. This scholarly masterpiece, which has emerged from decades of thought on the subject, deserves a place in all literary collections, as well as consideration by all those concerned with this particular genre."Lois Henderson, Book Pleasures
"Zipes is one of a handful of today's true experts on the fairy tale. Needless to say, he brings considerable erudition to this book, which covers some broad issues in fairy tale analysis such as how they spread (he takes his lead from Richard Dawkins's theory of cultural memes) and the role of women collectors and narrators. . . . General readers with an interest in fairy tales will definitely enjoy what Zipes has to say."David Azzolina, Library Journal
"From Sumerian fables to Catherine Breillat's cinematic interpretations, fairy tales have traveled far. Professor Jack Zipes follows the evolution of a genre of folklore that serves to discretely communicate knowledge and experience. Reaching beyond our childhood memories of Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, he explores the characters and tales that have thrived over the centuries, detailing especially French and Russian tales that have endured, albeit sometimes with a change of focus. . . . This is not a book for the beach but the fruits of a study researched over several decades and offered especially to an academic readership. As such, the considerable chapter notes, bibliography, provocative illustrations, and index are all fitting."Jane Manaster, Sacramento Book Review
"Zipes traces the origin of storytelling back to a primal past. . . . The reason they survive to this day, Zipes suggests, is because the classic fairy talessuch as Snow White, Cinderella, and Rapunzel, which all have analogues in cultures throughout the worldare perfect examples of 'memetic' engineering."Adam Kirsch, Prospect
"Zipes spends much of The Irresistible Fairy Tale pointing out the hidden gems in the fairy tale's history and presentthe ignored fabulists and movements that better embodied the revolutionary spirit of fable-telling."Max Ross, Open Letters Monthly
"The Irresistible Fairy Tale establishes a greater link with the social and natural sciences to explain the appeal of the fairytale. Zipes puts fairytales centre stage in Western culture, in a series of chapters that focus on lesser-known stories and authors. Zipes shows how fairytales mutate to ensure that the stories remain relevant to contemporary audiences, such as the feminist overturning of the traditional patriarchal fairytales in new interpretations of stories such as Little Red Riding Hood. The Irresistible Fairy Tale will appeal to both the academic and the general reader."Colin Steele, Canberra Times
"The Irresistible Fairy Tale strikes gold in giving due attention to a number of neglected female storytellers and collectors. In truth, Zipes could have written an entire book on Laura Gonzenbach, Bozena Nemcova, Nannette Levesque, and Rachel Busk."Belinda Webb, Review 31
"Zipes is, of course, the undisputed dean of fairy tale studies in the US. . . . In The Irresistible Fairy Tale, Zipes draws on and extends is prior work. He both celebrates the fairy tale as a subversive form and analyzes it as a nearly living creature, evolving from a dim past into the multifarious forms it takes today."Elisabeth Rose Gruner, Children's Literature
"The Irresistible Fairy Tale follows the theoretical trajectory established in [Zipes's] earlier works with a broad range of well-researched, lucidly-written chapters that are supported by informative notes, a bibliography divided into literary and critical works, and a detailed index. Each chapter can stand alone, but read together they offer compelling testimony to Zipes's sheer range of expertise and analytical insight."Kirsten Møllegaard, Folklore
"Zipes is as always impressively erudite but wears his knowledge like a linen suit."Richard Marshall, 3AM Magazine
"The Irresistible Fairy Tale is another informative contribution from this prolific and influential scholar."Martha P. Hixon, Children's Literature Association Quarterly
"[This book presents] a broad range of well-researched, lucidly-written chapters that are supported by informative notes, a bibliography divided into literary and critical works, and detailed index. Each chapter can stand alone, but read together they offer compelling testimony to Zipes's sheer range of expertise and analytical insight."Kirsten Møllegaard, Folklore
"Zipes gives a masterful and hopeful description of the genre and its inclinations."Jill Terry Rudy, Marvels & Tales
