Ana Araiz is a partner in AM Productions (Araiz/Montalvo), a company which programs
and produces international music events; an example from last July is Expresiones Latinas,
a presentation of Lincoln Center Festival '97. Her work as a booker under the aegis
of Tempest Entertainment and her promotion, marketing and artist representation through
LusAna Productions have given her a reputation as one of the most influential Latin music industry operatives. A successful business person, her love of Hispanic and
Brazilian musics and the cultures that produced them have made it possible for her,
as it were, to serve both God and Mammon. The Descarga Journal
recently asked Araiz for some comments on serving the latter. - David Carp, Editor
The Latin music business is
a business.
The Latin music business is nothing without creative and original musicians, composers
and arrangers.
As a promoter of Latin music I receive a myriad of promotional material from musicians
hungry to launch their careers. Although it is wonderful to be aware of the multitude
of talented artists in the Latin music field, it is also very evident that there
exists a general naivete
regarding the framework an artist should establish in order to properly promote himself
or herself.
The following is a very
basic explanation of the different professionals (and the roles they play) that are
integral to an artist's career. For those truly serious about this subject, I highly
recommend the Sidney Shemel and William Krasilovsky's This Business of Music,
now in its fifth edition. It is important to remember that the organizational structure
of the Latin music business is the same as any other genre of music. However, there
is a huge difference in the nuances involving style, nature of relationships and
promotional tactics...but that's another article.
TOP OF THE PYRAMID - The Artist
The artist's job is to create, create, create. It is essential that the artist have
a clear understanding of all the business transactions pertaining to his or her career.
She or he must also be part of the decision making team, but
cannot be such a control freak that the rest of the team cannot do their job.
The personal manager
The most highly misunderstood position and the most important person in an artist's
career. The prime responsibility of the personal manager is to vigilantly look after
the well being of the artist. At the same time the manager must remain totally objective in relation to the artist so that a proper marketing plan can be established.
The manager is responsible for artist development. In other words, the manager implements
the promotional steps in acquiring an artist's image. As the artist's career progresses,
the "artist development plan" gets reevaluated. Managers are also the liaison between the artist and record companies, booking agents and the press. Personal
managers receive anywhere between 10 and 25 per cent of an artist's earnings.
Business manager
Is responsible for the direct business transactions usually associated with contracts
and finances. Hopefully all of you will make enough money to warrant hiring a business
manager. Personal managers and business managers can be one and the same person.
Hire a lawyer! Ask all of your friends and colleagues for recommendations and make
wise decisions when choosing your lawyer... but choose one. If your father, brother-in-law
or great-aunt is a lawyer, invite them to dinner but don't make them your lawyer. Lawyers negotiate contracts and work out deals. They've spent countless hours
in law libraries and know how to read between the lines. But lawyers are not divine
entities, so read your contracts and try to learn as much as possible. Lawyers can
also be personal and/or business managers.
Booking agent
Responsible for acquiring "gigs" for the artist. Booking agents will book the artist
in clubs, festivals, performing arts centers, universities, etc. The most effective
tours are coordinated with the release of a CD, generally because that is when a
record company will lend its support. The tools of a booking agent are the telephone
and a complete promotional package (or press kit - see below) either supplied by
a record company or the manager. Without this package, an agent cannot sell the
artist for two important reasons: 1. the presenter might not be familiar with the artist. 2.
It is not an agent's job to put together a promotional package for the artist, but
the agent is responsible for supplying the venue with these packages (once the artist
is booked, the promotional package is used to publicize the event). Agents charge between
10 and 15 per cent of the fee paid by the presenter; some charge for expenses.
Press kit basics
1. A well written bio.
Be aware that journalists tend to quote directly from bios. If you are an up and
coming artist, try to capture your musical style in words.
2. Photos.
Optional, but preferable when selling the artist. When a gig is booked, photos are
a requisite for promotion. Eight by ten inch black and white photos and color slides
are the norm.
3. Reviews.
Very important!
A presenter does
read reviews, so invite the press to your gigs (if you are really confident about
your show) and pray for a good review.
4. A CD, or a well recorded and well-packaged tape.
5. A video
This helps if it is well filmed and can hinder if it is the ninth generation copy
of your performance at your uncle's wedding.

A story about a lawsuit filed against the state Department of Finance by the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center incorrectly reported the title for Len Alexander. He is the executive director of the center.
LIVERMORE -- Backers of a Livermore regional theater are suing the state Department of Finance to try to hold on to more than $120 million in redevelopment funds needed to help pay for the project.
The suit was filed Jan. 23 in Sacramento Superior Court by the nonprofit Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center. It seeks to overturn a Finance Department decision to deny future tax increment money for development and construction of the theater.
The funding, the suit states, stems from agreements made by the performing arts center with the city and the city's now-defunct redevelopment agency. The agreements were made before the state abolished redevelopment agencies in 2012.
"In our view, this was a pre-existing obligation way before the state decided to do away with RDAs," said Len Alexander, the center's executive director. "Since the appeal process is over, we have no choice but to sue."
The Department of Finance sent an Oct. 1 letter to City Manager Marc Roberts informing the city of the decision to deny the funds.
The Finance Department met Oct. 24 with the city's redevelopment successor agency regarding the theater and other items denied by the department, and, following a review, upheld its decision in December.
"The reason for not approving the item, in a nutshell, is that while the city indicated they were willing to undertake the responsibilities of the former redevelopment agencies, the powers and duties of the former RDAs that were involved do not transfer over to the city," said H.D. Palmer, spokesman for the Department of Finance.
Livermore assistant city manager Troy Brown did not wish to comment on the litigation because the city is not a party to it.
The Finance Department letter indicates that as part of an agreement between the theater backers, the city, and the redevelopment agency, the nonprofit would have needed to issue $98 million in bonds to fund the project. The bonds had yet to be issued, the letter states, meaning the project isn't eligible for use of redevelopment money.
The performing arts center's suit says the nonprofit entered into a series of binding legal agreements with the redevelopment agency and the city of Livermore from 2005 to 2011, pre-dating the state Legislature's abolition of local redevelopment agencies in February 2012.
A building permit was issued for the 2,000-seat theater in March 2011. Alexander said the state's decision threatens the future of the theater and the $9.2 million the nonprofit has already invested toward it.
"Conveniently, the first time a payment would've had to be made, they woke up and suddenly decided they didn't want to pay it," Alexander said. "In our view it's totally arbitrary; they're making the rules up as they go along."
According to the California League of Cities, the theater group's action isn't unique. The league has tallied almost 60 lawsuits brought by cities, nonprofits and other groups seeking redevelopment funds denied by the state.
"It creates a significant amount of uncertainty," said the league's general counsel, Patrick Whitnell. "How do know that you can do anything under that contract if the Department of Finance can come in and review it and, at any point, deny it?"
Several of the cases have been successfully argued in court, Whitnell said.
The Department of Finance has until March 11 to respond to the Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center's filing. A decision is expected to take six to eight months.

Zynga Finally Has a Hit In the App Store Once Again
Zynga drought in Apple's App Store rankings has come to an end.
"What's The Phrase," a word-guessing game for the iPhone, is now in the top 10 rankings for both the free and paid sections of the App Store. It has ranked among the top 10 free apps for about a week thus far.
As is the case with many Zynga games, it's another modern, mobile spin on a classic game formula like "Hangman" or "Scrabble." "What's the Phrase" is basically a mobile version on "Wheel of Fortune," where you "spin" for letters until you're able to guess the phrase.
Zynga hasn't had an app with a lot of staying power in the top 10 since "Bubble Safari" was ranked number 10 on Dec. 15, more than three months ago, according to AppData.
Some extra context, to be sure: There weren't any mobile game launches between "Bubble Safari" and "What's The Phrase," but there are more are on the way. In addition, there was a small spike with "Scramble With Friends" due to the game's localization, but it quickly fell out of the top-10 after being there for only a day or two.
Among the games coming is "Draw Something 2," the sequel to the first game. Its predecessor soon hit its peak after Zynga bought its maker, OMGPOP (at the time of the deal, the game had 35 million people and was only six-weeks old.) Zynga defended the purchase initially, then in July admitted it saw reduced sales from the game. Dan Porter, the chief behind "Draw Something," left the company today.
Still, there's some reason to be optimistic given the app's momentum. Here's a chart from AppData tracking its performance:
And here's its ranking on the paid side of the App Store:
The app faces some steep competition with "Sonic Dash," a previously pay-to-download app, topping the charts and indie "Snake" app "Nimble Quest."

A 24-year-old Salem woman died after being partially ejected during a crash on Highway 19 in Crawford County Saturday evening, Dec. 8.
The woman, Karla M. Cummings, was pronounced dead at 7:04 p.m. by Crawford County Coroner Paul Hudson at the crash scene on Highway 19, four miles south of Steelville, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The crash was reported at 6:45 p.m.
A MSHP crash report states that Cummings was driving a 1997 Mercury Marquis northbound on Highway 19 and ran off the left side of the road, struck a culvert and overturned, partially ejecting the driver. The vehicle was totaled.
Cummings was not wearing a seat belt, according to the patrol. Her next of kin have been notified and her body was taken to Hutson Funeral Home.
This is the 37th fatality reported in the MSHP Troop I area, which covers six counties in south central Missouri, including Dent, Phelps, Crawford, Pulaski, Maries and Laclede counties.

Nobel winner Alfred Gilman quitting Texas cancer research agency; says 'vast funds' awarded without review
The top scientific officer for the state's cancer-fighting agency is stepping down, citing concerns over how Texas is distributing millions of dollars in public money for cancer research.
Dr. Alfred Gilman (right), a Nobel prizewinner and former dean of UT Southwestern Medical School, has served as chief scientific officer for the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas since 2009. He is stepping down effective Oct. 12.
In his resignation letter, Gilman noted that he had set up a system under which scientists outside of Texas review applications for the state dollars, as a way to guard against conflicts of interest. He said keeping that system intact is now the agency's most "critical concern."
"Your ability to do so will be critically dependent on the attitudes of CPRIT leadership, especially including the oversight committee," Gilman wrote to CPRIT's executive director.
CPRIT's oversight committee functions as the agency's governing board. Its members are appointed by the governor, lieutenant governor and the speaker of the house. The state's attorney general and comptroller or their designees are permanent members.
Gilman expressed particular concern about "incubator" grants that could be approved when CPRIT's oversight committee meets in July. He said if such grants are up for consideration, he planned to attend the meeting.
"I will be there to hope that the rules governing review and funding of incubators have been revised," he said, "to prevent further award of vast funds for research programs … that were not described and therefore could not have been reviewed."
He said he also wanted to stay to attend an Oct. 5 meeting to ensure that scientists submitting their research proposals now "will still encounter a functional peer review system."
The only incubator grant I could find listed on CPRIT's website this morning, for $20 million, was awarded in March to Rice University and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. They say they will use the funds to connect scientists and business experts in hopes of bringing new technologies and therapies to market.
CPRIT's executive director, Bill Gimson, in a letter posted on CPRIT's website, praised Gilman's leadership and noted he implemented a "conflict-free system that is the cornerstone of our cancer research award process."
In 2007, Texans voted to establish CPRIT and authorize it to fund up to $3 billion over 10 years for cancer research and prevention programs in Texas. In addition to granting millions in research money to Texas universities across the state, CPRIT has also awarded tens of millions of dollars to Texas companies that aim to develop new products to diagnose, prevent or treat cancer.

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC selected Santa Clara midfielder Erik Hurtado with the No. 5 overall pick in the MLS SuperDraft in Indianapolis.
Hurtado, the 2012 West Coast Conference Player of the Year, had five game-winning goals in conference play. Hurtado, of Fredricksburg, Va., saw his stock rise at the MLS Combine (Jan. 11-15) in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. "I think it is fabulous for Erik," said Santa Clara men's soccer coach Cameron Rast in a statement. "It's a tribute to how much he has grown as a player in his time here at Santa Clara. You go into the combine and have opportunities to prove yourself, and he really rose up to the occasion. He's trusted in the process and has been rewarded for that. We are very excited for him."
Hurtado was a third-team NSCAA All-American selection.
"I do want to thank the coaches, the administration at Santa Clara, everyone down the line, for all that they have done," Hurtado said in a school release. "I also want to give a shout out to my teammates. I will try and represent Santa Clara in the best possible way, and again am very appreciative for everyone's efforts there, helping me get to where I've come."

Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists said it has reached an agreement with Rogue Valley audiobook producer BeeAudio
Under the new contract, audiobook narrators will be paid industry-standard rates ranging from $150 to $240 per completed hour of work. The deal affects the more than 200 audiobook professionals on the company's roster.
The union said the deal marked the 27th audiobook producer organized by SAG-AFTRA since 2008. Among the signatory companies is Audible, the largest producer in the market.
Last November, the union issued a "Do Not Work Notice" against BeeAudio, which the union says was producing books for various major publishers and paying half or less than half the industry standard rate to narrators.
BeeAudio founder and chief executive James Adams said in a statement the series of misunderstandings leading to the notice have been amicably resolved.
"We are in the middle of a publishing revolution, and that clearly involves audiobooks," Adams said. "It's vital that innovative entrepreneurial companies like BeeAudio and unions like SAG-AFTRA work together to steer a steady course for the benefit of the consumer, business and union members."

Pablo Cruise found its place in the sun when it hit gold with more than a half-dozen hit singles. It also has another special location.
"Lake Tahoe is a special place in everbody's hearts," keyboardist Cory Lerios said.
The band plays just 15 to 20 concerts per year, but it will come to Tahoe for the fourth time since 2007 for a show Saturday, Nov. 3, in Harrah's Lake Tahoe's South Shore Room.
Lerios and drummer Steven Price met in the late 1960s at Heavenly Valley Ski Resort.
A 17-year-old Lerios, a Palo Alto native, pursued a goal of skiing by day and playing music at night when he started a club and a newly built Round Hill mall. Heavenly's Hugh Killebrew appreciated Lerios' entrepreneurship and invited him to perform regularly at his ski lodge. When his band's drummer returned to school, crew member Price said, "I can play drums."
Lerios and Price have performed together ever since. Dave Jenkins and bassist Bud Cockrell came aboard and Pablo Cruise was born.
"Whatcha Gonna Do" was the huge hit on the third Pablo Cruise record, "A Place in the Sun," which was the name of the second big hit off of the album.
Pablo Cruise smartly followed up a year later in 1978 with another solid album "Worlds Away," securing the band a permanent mark on rock 'n' roll.
One of the band's members, however, made an ill-timed move. Cockrell, the lead singer in "Whatcha Gonna Do," left the band for another project just before the song ascended up the charts.
Bass has been the band's only instrumental position in flux. Ex-Santana player Bruce Day, who recently died, replaced Cockrell for a record. Day was replaced by John Pierce, who now plays with Huey Lewis' band. George Gabriel joined when the band started playing again in 2004, and the latest bassit is Larry Antonio, who was recommended to Jenkins by Bill Champlin.
Antonio is one of the busier bass players in the business, performing more than 200 shows a year with bands such as Air Supply, Barry Manilow and Jeff Lorber.
"He's a huge inspiration and an excellent singer," Lerios said. "He has a pure tenor voice."
Many of the Pablo Cruise hits have been rearranged for a new live DVD/CD, "It's Good to Be Live." The quality of the songs endure more than 30 years after hitting the top of the charts.
"It's not like we're hemmed into a really bubble gummy tune that you have to live with for the rest of your life," said Lerios, who now lives in Thousand Oaks and for the last 25 years has written television soundtracks, including the upcoming syndicated program "Rescue 3."
"I am working out of Britney Spears' house today," Lerios told Lake Tahoe Action last week by phone.
Lerios brought on Leroy Bell, last season's star of "The X Factor," to sing lead on a new version of "Love Will Find A Way," which is expected to be released early next spring.
Lerios also is overseeing the rising music careers of his sons Dimitri and Michale and videographer Andrew.
But he said he will always find some time for Pablo Cruise.
"This is our golf," he joked.
"Dave and I always stayed in contact," he said in an earlier interview. "It's not like we had an ugly breakup, and when we get back together it's like we never left. When you go back that far with buddies who you started out basically out of school and you put something out there that actually does get international recognition, there's a lot of stories that are passed over those years. So when you get back together it's a lot of fun."
Pablo Cruise was huge in Japan during the band's heyday. Its instruments are the soundtrack for that country's cult surf film "Free Ride."
The band recently performed in Japan for six shows in the venerable Blue Note. Lerios said he didn't know what to expect, but was happy to play for enthusiastic crowds who knew the words to all the hits.
Pablo Cruise doesn't play often, and Tahoeans are the fortunate ones who get to still see the band.

I'm not a member of the Tuesdays With Dorie baking group, but I follow the blogs of many of the members. When they made these cookies last February, I bookmarked the recipe and decided it would be a great cookie to include on my holiday cookie trays. Dorie Greenspan includes this recipe in her book, Baking: From My Home to Yours, and tells the story of how this cookie got its name. Evidently Dorie's neighbor was convinced that a daily dose of the cookies is all that would be needed to ensure planetary peace and happiness, and thus dubbed them World Peace Cookies. Ahh... how wonderful if it could be so simple.
Even if planetary peace is not probable in the near future, I promise that your taste buds will experience bliss with every bite of these little chocolate delights.
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick plus 3 tablespoons (11 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2/3 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon fleur de sel or 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chips, or a generous 3/4 cup store-bought mini chocolate chips
Sift together the flour, cocoa and baking soda.
With a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed until soft and creamy. Add both sugars, the salt and vanilla extract and beat for 2 minutes more.
Add the four/cocoa/baking soda. Turn on mixer to lowest setting and pulse a few times to start to incorporate flour. Gradually increase speed and mix just until flour is completely combined. Do not over mix. The dough will be quite crumbly. Add chocolate pieces and mix a few more seconds to disperse throughout dough.
Turn the dough out onto a work surface, gather it together and divide it in half. Working with one half at a time, shape the dough into logs that are 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
Slice the logs into rounds that are 1/2 inch thick. Place the rounds on the baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between them.
Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for a few minutes on baking sheet before removing them to a cooling rack.
Yield: About three dozen cookies.

November 21, 2005
Fort Gordon is playing a vital role in the war on terrorism. Before soldiers fight the real enemy in Afghanistan and Iraq, they fight a fake enemy right here. News 12 spent the night at Fort Gordon to get in inside look at soldier training.
The face of war is changing, so Fort Gordon has a new way to train soldiers. Defeating terrorism is a fight against a network, not a nation. The enemy could be anyone, oftentimes dressed as a common civilian.
Here's the scenario: the convoy has stopped because soldiers spotted an explosive device. This is one of the top killers in the Middle East. It is a trap. When they get off their vehicles, the enemy opens fire. This scenario isn't real, but it is close to what soldiers can expect in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"I'm prepared to go, and training like this prepares me every single day."
Private First Class Hinddo Entin is a former school teacher who felt called to serve his country. Once deployed, he will likely be overseas for several months.
One tough issue is what to do when soldiers come across a civilian. It is hard to know who is friendly, and who is the enemy.
"It's the hardest decision you'll have to have to make in your life, if you are gonna pull the trigger or not."
First Lieutenant Kevin Rearden helps lead the training at Fort Gordon. His goal is to give the service men and women real scenarios the challenges they will face, right down to enemy clothing.
"It gives the trainees here something to shoot at to make the experience more real," said Specialist Evan Bartlett.
They also have to learn to read coordinates. If they don't, they could get lost in hostile territory.
Their convoy didn't get lost in this simulation, but the soldiers did fall into a common trap. An enemy force blocked the road, and the massacre began. Staff Sergeant Joseph Leonard says kill or be killed.
"If someone is shooting at you, the only thing you're thinking about is protecting yourself and the people you're with," Leonard said.
This is good in theory. But in this exercise, many did not make it.
Urban combat in and around the building can be the most difficult and the most dangerous, because it's hard for the troops to tell if the enemy is inside and if the enemy
is armed.
And insurgent forces have easy access to weapons. They can make them out of almost anything.
"This is one of the big things we are facing is homemade RPG's," said Sgt. Timothy Grega.
RPG stands for Rocket Propelled Grenade.
Getting the enemy out of a building is one of the most difficult and most dangerous things they have to do, which is why this drill is so important. The enemy can be waiting with a gun around any corner, or worse than that.
"People can pop out of windows, they can come from roofs, holes in the ground, doors and walls," said First Lieutenant Kevin Rearden.
This becomes even more difficult in a hostage situation. Soldiers aimed at the enemy, but the mission was not successful when they missed and hit the hostage. This is all part of the learning experience to fire under pressure.
"We work these different jobs so the outside world can be free."
For PFC Entin and all the other trainees about to do this for real, failure is not an option when it comes to protecting the American people or themselves.
The training is meant to be as realistic as possible, right down to the twenty-pound body armor everyone had to wear.

Teriyaki Turkey Burgers With Grilled Sesame Pineapple
Teriyaki Turkey Burgers With Grilled Sesame Pineapple (Makes 8 burgers)
1 1/2 TBSP olive oil
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 medium onion, diced
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 TBSP teriyaki sauce
1 tsp grated fresh ginger root
1 TBSP sesame oil, divided
2 TBSP Montreal steak seasoning
2 lbs lean ground turkey (I used one pound 99% fat free ground turkey breast and one pound 93/7 ground turkey)
8 pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
Teriyaki basting and glazing sauce (I used Kikkoman)
Whole grain hamburger buns
Lettuce leaves
Heat olive oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add bell pepper and onion and season with kosher salt; pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Saute for 5-7 minutes or until onions become translucent. Add garlic and saute for another minute or two. Remove skillet from heat and add the teriyaki sauce, ginger root, and one teaspoon of the sesame oil. Stir to combine.
In a large bowl, crumble ground turkey. Season with Montreal steak seasoning. Add in the sauteed vegetables and combine thoroughly but do not over mix to avoid tough burgers. Divide meat into eight patties and either grill on greased grill or pan fry in a little olive oil. I pan fried mine for a little over five minutes per side. Brush burgers with the basting and glazing sauce during the last minute of grilling.
Meanwhile, brush pineapple rings with remaining sesame oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Grill (I used my indoor grill pan) for a few minutes on each side until nicely caramelized and grill marks appear.
To assemble:
Place lettuce leaf on bottom bun. Top with turkey burger and add more basting and glazing sauce if desired. Top with one grilled pineapple ring and the top bun. Serve immediately.

I tried this recipe and it is amazing! The only change I made was to add some unseasoned breadcrumbs to the mix to give the patties more firmness before throwing them on the grill. I also used soaked mesquite chips to kick it up a notch. Thanks for this. 5 stars *****

This is a wonderful recipe, thank you for sharing! I made these tonight for my husband and me. They are DELICIOUS and very JUICY! I loved the grilled pineapple on top. I thought that next time I could go without the bun and just wrap the burgers in the lettuce, since there is so much flavor.
I had Teriyaki sauce, but not Teriyaki BASTING sauce, so I mixed the Teriyaki Sauce with Hoison Sauce and basted the burgers with it while they were cooking. It worked out well.
- May 25, 2013 at 6:47 PM
My 20-year old son found this recipe and asked me to make it for the family. It's delicious! We're not big fans of ground turkey but this was amazing - a 5-star recipe according to my husband. The flavors blended beautifully, and it was so soft and juicy. Thank you for sharing!

Prose in Poetry
Another confession: I have for a while thought that, in general, I dislike the poetry in Poetry magazine. I wouldn't have said I hated it -- rarely had I found a poem in Poetry that stirred me to such a passionate response. When I was in high school, and even college, I thought Poetry was where the "good poems" were supposed to be, and so I read one issue after another, hoping and hoping for something that excited me as much as Eliot's "Prufrock", which Poetry originally published. Finally, I just stopped reading the magazine.
Nonetheless, when the magazine offered seventeen issues for considerably less than the price of a subscription, I took them up on the offer, partly because I wanted to see what Rick Moody had to say about Olena Kalytiak Davis's Shattered Sonnets, Love Cards, and Other Off and Back Handed Importunities, a book I adore, but also because I was curious to see what sorts of things were being published now that $100 million bequest from Ruth Lilly had begun to settle in.
The magazines just arrived, and I've spent a few hours reading through them, often with pleasure. There's something to be said for having low expectations -- surprise is not impossible. What most surprised me was not the poetry, most of which still doesn't hold much appeal for me, but the prose. Moody's review was fine (positive, adequate), but I particularly liked what it was part of: "Six Novelists on Six Poets", a fun way, at least in theory, to break through some of the cant and repetitiveness that inevitably grows where people only write about the subject they know best.
I liked, too, many of the short reviews in each issue. It shouldn't be surprising that poets can write reviews that are both succinct and effective, but I've read plenty that are neither. Some of the longer reviews are interesting as well: Meghan O'Rourke's "Subject Sylvia", Danielle Chapman on Samuel Menashe, Michael Hoffmann on W.S. Graham. There are "exchanges" between two writers on assigned subjects: Meghan O'Rourke and A.E. Stallings on Lorine Niedecker, Averill Curdy and Dan Chiasson on poetry prizes, four poets on "Ambition and Greatness". Probably the biggest surprise for me was how lively the letters columns are, and how much what gets argued about would, in general, sound familiar to readers of the messageboards of magazines like Asimov's and Fantasy & Science Fiction: the death/undeath of x, y, or z; the usefulness/destructiveness of negative/positive reviews; the accuracy of particular reviews; the declining/rising quality of the magazine; political correctness/lack of diversity; etc. (Seen one subculture, you've seen 'em all, I suppose.)
Part of what made me appreciate these issues of Poetry was not just my low expectations, but the fact that I had seventeen issues to browse through. It's easy to ignore the stuff that doesn't appeal when there you've got plenty of material to roam through. Had I subscribed to Poetry, I probably would have let my subscription lapse, since I tend to prefer the sorts of poetry found at places like Jacket, and a subscription to Poetry is hardly cheap (they get $100 million bequested and they still charge people $35 a year?!), and -- well, I could go on and on, and would risk trivializing how interesting I really have found the prose in these issues of Poetry, and even a couple of poems.
On an unrelated point: The cover of the latest issue of Fence has stirred up some controversy, particularly in light of what editor Rebecca Wolff says to explain it. (Me, I'm with Dan Green, concerned less with the cover and more with how little content the magazine puts online.) Via Josh Corey I discovered a 2001 screed against Fence, along with a great discussion that followed. And people think science fiction fans get fiesty...

So, when will you start putting tits on this blog?ReplyDelete
Oh, I've got better than that -- Rick Santorum at a petting zoo!ReplyDelete
One of the things I always thought was intersting when I was with Six Gallery Press (now almost defunct) was the writers attempt at breaking down the boundries between prose and fiction.ReplyDelete
This can be seen alot in the pieces I got published in around that time (in Jacob's Ladder Anthology and The Journal of Experimental Fiction as well as my first novel, Angerlwings and Finerthings), where the barriers of both were tested and expanded.
Like trying to use Poetry's negative space withing prose, or using poetic concepts in prose (mostly from the Modernist poets like Eliot, Pound and Yeats, since they made the most impact on the Six Gallery writers).
Actually, Matt, Poetry offers a $17/year subscription, but I think you have to have somehow wound up on a poetry-related mailing list to get the offer. I got one and have been intrigued by what I've read so far; I haven't liked everything, but some things I've liked a lot. (Keeping my own peculiar tastes in mind, I just finished the July/August "humor" issue and spotted at least one poem I would have loved, maybe even killed to have landed for Mythic Delirium, Bob Hicok's "Clothes make the man" (though Hicok got a much better financial deal selling where he did, let's face it) and the May issue opened with Craig Arnold's "Incubus," which does indeed spin a narrative of supernatural possession: "If you're not using your body right now / maybe you'd let me borrow it for a while? / ... / It isn't what you're thinking. No, it's worse.") Some of the prose indeed seems quite poetic, but I haven't focused on that so much.ReplyDelete
You know, the covers of Poetry magazine are also rather subtle ... perhaps Fence has something to teach them. Or not.ReplyDelete
Scarily, I've often posited sf fans as a positive role model for poets.ReplyDelete
OK, OK, the costumes and shit are embarrassing -- but like poets' costumes aren't?

Compared to small molecule drugs, biologics have more complex structures and often cannot be fully characterized. Thus, quality determination of and quality control for biologic drugs often require the application of multiple analytical approaches including physicochemical methods, assays that measure for potency, or some combination thereof. Highly-characterized reference standards—biologic materials—that specifically address quality-related testing needs of the biopharmaceutical community could help here. These include standards for individual product assays; procedural standards for method development, qualification, and validation; standards for ancillary and process materials; and more.
Reference standards can be utilized in different ways by manufacturers and can help supply solutions that support discovery, regulatory compliance, and process efficiency.

A second round of letters to 75 FTSE 100 companies requesting that they sign up to the Prompt Payment Code (PPC) has persuaded a further 20 companies to sign up.
The Prompt Payment Code is part of the Be Fair – Pay on Time campaign. The campaign was created by Debbie Abrahams, MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth and is partnered by the Institute of Credit Management (ICM), the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and the Forum of Private Business (FPB).
Since its inception, 25 FTSE 100 companies have signed up to the code. Now 20 more companies have declared an interested in signing up. Those that have agreed include Standard Life, BHP Billiton, Vodafone, Kingfisher, Burberry, British American Tobacco, Royal Dutch Shell, Diageo and Associated British Foods.
Those that say they are "working towards signing up" include Morrisons and Whitbread. But one big name that has refused is Sainsburys – the supermarket chain wrote to their suppliers lengthening payment terms from 30 to 75 days at the same time as refusing to sign up to the PPC, according to evidence from the FPB.
Debbie Abrahams, MP for Oldham East and Saddleworth, said: "We should give credit to the 20 global companies who have agreed to sign up to the Prompt Payment Code as they are leading by example and committing to help SMEs across the UK. It shows they recognise how their actions affect the thousands of hard-working SMEs across the UK and that they are ready to be held accountable for their actions."
However, Abrahams described the late payment of smaller suppliers as a "repulsive and unacceptable business practice".
Philip King, ICM chief executive, said: "We welcome any initiative that supports a culture of prompt payment, and the work of those in government and opposition to bring payments to the front of the business agenda. The certainty of payment is critical to small businesses to help manage their cashflow, especially in the current economic environment."

My wife gets motio sickness fairly readily. On one open water race over a shallow lake with clear water and ripples in the bottom sand, she got sick right there during the race. Swimming in waves has also been a problem. It depends on what sets off your dizziness. Earplugs may help to keep the water out of the inner ear (and thereby sloshing around creating your problem). The swimming specific silicone plugs are purported to be the best and don't fall out. I suppose you could always take motion sickness medication (Dramamine) before your swim.
BT, sorry to hear about your wife's issues. Yikes! For some wierd reason it helps me to know I'm not the only one with this problem. Misery loves company, I suppose. I am to the point where I take Meclizine before an event or even a training swim. The problem with that is you have to take it an hour before hand. But the other day I just wanted to try out some new goggles in my backyard pool, and after just a couple of short laps I was dizzy. The water in my ear was bugging me, so I don't know if that was the cause or not. I bought some of those silicone ear plugs so I'll give them a try and hope for the best.
Has your wife tried wearing SeaBands? At least those you just put on whenever so next time I'm in my pool I'm going to see if they'll help.
Earplugs would definitely help, as will frequent exposure to choppy water.
Experiment with nutritional interventions as well. Ginger, for instance, can help with nausea and dizziness. One of the athletes I coach used that successfully for a similar "getting dizzy on treadmill" issue...

One cause of dizziness when swimming is breathing too little or too much. I think you would know if you were breathing too little and were low on oxygen, but some people breathe too much and this can make you dizzy. If you aren't going too hard and are breathing every 2 strokes, you are possibly over breathing. As you speed up you will need more oxygen and every 2 strokes may be okay. When I swim, I try to breathe the exact same amount as I would if I weren't under water.
Since you move your head when you breathe this can also contribute to dizziness. Try to move your head as little as possible, if you are in a pool look at the line and don't move your head. You may also want to try one of those snorkels that go in front of your face that you can swim with because then you don't have to move your head at all!
Of course breathing may not be the cause of it at all for you, but I thought it was worth a mention!
Hey there lvziggy,
Thanks for starting this post. I love the thoughtful responses you've received.
I've used earplugs and it made a difference. And if the water was cold(er) then I'd wear two swim caps. As suggested, I'm also careful with my breathing and making sure I'm exhaling and not only trying to take air in.
I'm curious with the idea of ginger and may try that out too.
Thanks all,
Sara Cox Landolt
I did finally get some earplugs, and they help a lot in stopping that annoying "bubbling" that goes on in my ears as my head comes up out of the water. I also have been wearing Seabands when I swim and I think they are helping too. I havn't tried the ginger yet, so Sara, if you try it and it helps let me know. I felt kinda wierd starting this thread so I'm glad to hear it is something that might help you too.
I am a HUGE fan of ear plugs!
I used to get dizzy as well coming out of the water and tried ear plugs....Long story short, it stopped! I was very happy as you can imagine. Give it a try and let us know if helps.

This is what I love about this place! Even though I wasn't have the "sea-sick" feeling, I hated the sloshing of the water in my ears. So I decided after reading this to give ear plugs a try and I'm SO glad I did!! I was able to swim my full sprint distance TWICE without stopping and I really think it had to do with not having that feeling and wanting to stop and clear my ears.
Thanks for the info everyone!

First of all - I don't know what is the correct name for this function.
I like to scale something regarding values which I can determine with chosen points directly taken in my drawing. The scale dialog will give me this option with the mouse pointer switch.
Here now my question:
Right now I have to determine three points to give this tool all information for the scale factor. BUT I have to rearrange my drawing or have to work with Construction lines to have a situation what is useful for this task.
I would prefer to have the possibility to pick point one and two for the first value and then to be free to pick an independent point three and four for the second value.
Is that possible to do? It would make my life much easier ...

This show was part of the "1998 Summer U.S. Tour."
It was Fast Enough's only appearance in 1998, and it was truly an unforgettable moment.
As a side note, this run of shows really did completely change my life, but that is a story for another time.
Set 2 opens with an above average Julius which is longer than usual. The follwoing Moma Dance is really good and really funky, as you would expect from a 98 version. Moma Dance also peaks very nicely. Piper doesn't really have a jam, just the long intro, lyrics, and closing coda. I was hoping for this one to be jammed out a la 7/6/98, but it wasn't in the cards. Axilla makes a mid set appearance with the Axilla II style spacey ending, which segues into Bowie. Bowie itself has a long spacey intro and the jam slowly gains intensity and features some nice full-band interplay. Tube comes next, and it's a great version. The jam is initially ambient, but quickly turns into an all-out funk jam. if you're a Tube fan, definitely check this one out. Slave, as always, makes a great closer. Sample in a Jar in the encore slot may leave something to be desired, but it doesn't detract from the quality of the rest of the show.
Highlights of this show- Stash, Reba, Antelope, Moma Dance, Bowie, Tube>Slave.

ZEPHYR COVE - Austin Neil sent the ball flying with Whittell's hopes attached as the final buzzer sounded. For a second, silence... then net. The score ticked in Whittell's favor.
The Warriors showed just how far they've come under new head coach Phil Bryant with a 62-60 win over undefeated Rite of Passage on Tuesday. Sure, it's just an early-season crossover win, but defeating ROP is a huge testament to the program Bryant is building.
There was disbelief etched on some faces as several ROP players sunk to their knees. Bryant was not among the surprised.
"You've got to always believe. If you don't believe then that's it," said Bryant, whose Warriors improved to 7-1 overall. "I believed as a coach."
Believing is easier said than done against a team like ROP. The guys are bigger, more athletic, and they entered the game undefeated.
"We know they're better athletes. We acknowledge that so we have to play in the structure of what we practice," Bryant said. "The game is played on the court, not ahead of time based on where the school is coming from. It's about not giving in mentally to anybody."
And the Warriors didn't.
Neil proved that when he busted up the 60-60 game at the buzzer. The Warriors proved it as a team in the fourth quarter with back-to-back steals and a 21-point performance.
ROP had built an early lead off a sluggish Whittell first half. --
Other than a huge 3-pointer from freshman Palmer Chaplin, the Warriors shot 2-for-14 with nine turnovers in the first quarter.
Despite the slow start, ROP never fully capitalized. Whittell lurked in the rearview mirror.
Neil started eating at the gap in the second when he found his shot. The senior put up 10 to keep Whittell in the game.
Derek Heldt-Werle added crucial free throw points to cut ROP's lead to seven, and the Warriors pulled together in the second half to quietly inch closer.
Cody Wyatt rebounded inside, while Garrett Bronken and Palmer Chaplin ran the floor.
"The casual fan may not notice this, but the guys are playing their role," Bryant said. "Not everyone on the floor is going to be a scorer or a rebounder or a defender."
Together, the Warriors made some adjustments.
Normally a pressing team, the Warriors jammed it back inside to combat ROP's athleticism. Consecutive steals from Bryce Bronken and Chaplin with less than two minutes on the clock kept the Warriors alive.
ROP had a chance to close it down from the free throw line with 24 seconds to go, but a missed shot left the door open.
Neil led the Warriors right on through. He came away with 30 points and a game-winning shot that high-school dreams are made of.
"It's huge for us because they were undefeated, and that was one thing, but we haven't beat a team with that kind of athleticism in the six wins we've had to this point," Bryant said. "I'm really proud of them. I've been doing this a long time, and in the first year here, I've become a Whittell guy with the way the kids have been."
Bryant wasn't the only one impressed with his team's upset win. First-year Incline head coach Tim Kelly was pleasantly surprised to hear about the outcome, as he once played high school club basketball for Bryant, and still looks up to the coach to this day.
"He was one of my mentors," Kelly said. "He's phenomenal. It's impossible for them (the Warriors) not to be better with him. Phil is a genius. He's such a great basketball coach. I truly believe he's one of the greatest coaches in the country."
Bryant's Warriors are now 7-1 and will host Smith Valley on Jan. 4 at 3:30 p.m.
Whittell boys 62, ROP 60
