Ben Shahn
New Deal Artist in a Cold War Climate, 1947-1954
By Frances Pohl
In this pathbreaking study, Frances Pohl traces the political and artistic struggles Ben Shahn became embroiled in as he tried to remain a socially concerned artist during the early Cold War period.
In the first, most intense years of the Cold War (1947–1954), New Deal liberals often found themselves in great disfavor. Ben Shahn's experience presents something of a paradox, however, since his paintings appealed in different ways to both liberals and conservatives. Blacklisted by CBS during the McCarthy era and yet, ironically, incorporated into presidential "campaigns of truth" aimed at improving the U.S. image abroad, Ben Shahn is a pivotal figure, revealing the complexities and contradictions inherent in this highly polarized moment in American history.
In this pathbreaking study, Frances Pohl traces the political and artistic struggles Ben Shahn became embroiled in as he tried to remain a socially concerned artist during the early Cold War period. She shows how he rejected the argument, voiced by many Abstract Expressionists, that art and politics should not mix, yet at the same time searched for a way to depict, in universal and allegorical terms, the broad human condition rather than simply specific instances of injustice. Perhaps most important, she makes critical connections between U.S. social and political history and the art it provoked, thus illuminating both the later career of Ben Shahn and the Cold War era in American cultural history.
Frances K. Pohl is Dr. Mary Ann Vanderzyl Reynolds Professor of Humanities and Professor of Art History at Pomona College.
"A well-written, insightful, and meticulously researched study of Shahn's mature work in the context of McCarthyism. . . . Given Shahn's deep commitment to politics throughout his career, a book such as Pohl's is long overdue. . . . A pathbreaking study that will undoubtedly change the nature of Shahn scholarship as well as open up new avenues of research on aesthetic production in the United States at midcentury."
—Winterthur Portfolio
"This book will serve as a model of its kind … it will help to bring art history out of the realm of 'art appreciation' into cultural studies, where it belongs. It will also be a controversial book."
—Patricia Hills, Professor of Art History, Boston University

In the war between the rich and the poor, I'm enlisting on the side of the underdog — the rich. What a drubbing they've been taking! Across the nation, but particularly in cities such as New York and Washington, the rich are incessantly accused of being slyly manipulative and self-serving. For instance, they support charter schools. Apparently, there is nothing worse. I am mystified. Charter schools are not private schools. They are free public schools ...

Stroud's spare and beautiful brings to life a cast of unforgettable characters. Read this book.
"Story for us all"
We all die. Do we know how to get from here to there? This book gives insight into all our fears, our regrets and our deepest lives. I see why this one won the Pulitzer
I can only think the negative reviews are written by people under 35, or those who had expected something completely different.
"Not What I Expected"
I have listened it to 3 times.
I can not make such a comparison.
no comment
I am a lover of narrative literature. When I read ( or listen) non-linear stories, I take pause.
However, this is a book ( audio book) worth the time. There is depth, love, despair, sorrow,
just life - without blowups, just life as it happens.
"Oh, Olive"
The performance of this story is exceptional, and oh, what a story it is.
The lives of the people living in a small town in Maine, intertwined; a sweet, heartwarming tale.
I had watched the miniseries on HBO, but the audio book, as most books do, told me so much more, so much that I wanted to hear.
A great story, I highly recommend this to anyone!
"Great listening"
Enjoyed the format of interwoven stories. It's important to hear the ending before passing judgment on this book. The whole is more than the sum of the understated parts. The performer is perfect for this novel.
"Odd But Enjoyable"
Truthfully, I was confused by the random stories thrown in between those of the main characters. Each were interesting but not all were connected. That drove me crazy. Why do that? Performance was adequate. I'm not sure what all the rage is about this book.
"Excellent narrator - love the characters in the novel"
Great characters and a fascinating way to tell the story of the central figure of Olive Kitteridge. Thoroughly enjoyed the audio book
"What a sad compilation of stories!"
Interesting stories, and well written, but man what a depressing book. The performance was good, but this Olive is a somber gal. Make sure your Wellbutrin prescription is fully stocked before you buy this one . . .
"Olive grows on you"
This group of short stories started out in a choppy manner and the glimpses of Olive weren't flattering. However each story added a layer and made her more interesting. Loneliness is a dominant theme.

Mongolia Wary of Chinese Investment
China, though, never lost its interest in Mongolia. State-owned giant Aluminum Corp. of China Ltd., also known as Chalco, has made large investments in the resource-rich country in recent weeks. But a recent deal in Mongolia has hit a stumbling block, and signs are starting to show that country may be slowly closing its doors to foreign ownership, especially from China.

Stonington - For the past five years the school system has used its notification system to send emails and make phone calls to remind parents to vote in the upcoming budget referendums. The notifications were prohibited from promoting a "yes" or "no" vote but told parents about the date, time and location of the voting.
During that five year-period, the budget passed on the first try four out of five times. In the five years before that, it failed on the first try four out of five times.
But thanks to a new state law that took effect July 1, school officials will be prohibited from using the system this spring when they are trying to get the 2014-15 budget passed.
"There seems to be a correlation between our ability to use this technology and getting the budget passed the first time," said Board of Education Chairwoman Gail MacDonald. "Eliminating this type of communication will hamper our ability to get the budget passed."
Public Act 13-247 only allows community notification systems, those that are available to all residents, to send out details about the voting as well as the wording of the question and an explanatory text. Under the law, only the chief elected official of a municipality, in Stonington's case the first selectman, could authorize the use of such a system.
Last week the Board of Selectmen joined with the Board of Education to support the repeal of the law, according to MacDonald.
MacDonald, who has researched the intent of the law, said state Rep. Diana Urban, D-North Stonington, and state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-18th District, were unaware of the law's passage as it was inserted into a massive bill in the waning days of the session. She said that even if the law is repealed, the change would likely not take effect until after the town votes on its budget next spring.
MacDonald said she investigated whether any towns have such a community wide system but could not find any. The police department does have a system that anyone can sign up for which disseminates updates about crime, weather, parking bans and emergencies. It is unclear whether that system could be used.
The law does make an exception for a regularly published newsletter, so MacDonald said that might be a possibility to inform voters. MacDonald said that the school board's attorney said that because there are so many questions about the law, it may have to be tested by towns to see what will be allowed.
The law was introduced by state Sen. Michael McLachlan, R-24th District, after the Republican Town Committee chairman in Windsor and a Bethel activist complained about using a system to inform one segment of the population about a budget vote.

The eyeshadow was incredibly silky and smooth, and it applied easily. It held a lot of pigment and color, and there was no chalkiness or drag. I liked that it wasn't a cool-toned silver, because it worked better on my warmer skin tone than some other bright silvers do. When used on the eyes, Korres' Silver eyeshadow blends easily and seamlessly with other shadows. (I sometimes find mixing brands isn't always easy with some shadows!) I'm hoping my local Sephora carries a few more shades so I can try some more out in person.Read Full Review
Korres Face Primer Review – Silicone Primer Alternative
Korres touts it as a 99% natural, antioxidant-rich face primer that's silicone free. It is formulated without silicone, parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes/fragrances, mineral oils, petrochemicals, phthalates, and GMOs. It is Ecocert certified as well. This primer seems best for those with dry to normal skin. I'm not sure if it is "thick" enough in its primer-ness to work as well on oily skin types. I'm hoping some of you who have tried this can chime in and confirm/deny!Read Full Review
Korres Watermelon Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 Beats Summer Heat
Korres Watermelon Lightweight Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 ($28.00 for 1 oz.) is a lightweight, tinted moisturizer. (I think the name of the product does a pretty good job of describing the product, yeah?) It's a sheer, barely-dewy foundation that is an easy, on-the-go product. I typically use brushes/sponges to apply my foundation, but with tinted moisturizers, I tend to use my hands, as it's the easiest method. Korres' tinted moisturizer is incredibly thin, and it applies easily, but I find I need to apply quickly or else it dries down before I'm done.Read Full Review

THREE months into the job and still Kevin Keegan carries the baggage from a previous life. His passion for football remains, as does the overwhelming desire to succeed where other Manchester City managers have failed, but the England experience has nevertheless left its scars.
That became abundantly clear during a half-hour interview at City's training ground in Carrington earlier this week. Candid when it suited him, guarded when it did not, the subject of England was a taboo in his company while the journalists who wished to understand better the tortured soul were treated with suspicion. "Ah, the vultures," he said, though it was with a smile.
Keegan harbours grudges. That's for sure. He picked the players and chose the tactics that failed first at Euro 2000 and then against Germany at Wembley - something he is big enough to admit to - and yet he seems to feel that the media coverage that accompanied his decline was an act of betrayal.
At times he became so prickly it bordered on paranoia, seizing on the slightest ambiguity in a question with all the conviction he once displayed in the penalty area. It was as if everyone was out to get him, when in fact nothing could have been further from the truth. "That's an exaggeration," he snapped at one individual. "You're twisting my words, but then you guys always do," he said to another. Then came mention of England, and a similarly cantankerous reply. "I'm not talking about that," he said, shaking his head in familiar fashion.
Even so, he remains a fascinating man to be around, and one who, despite his international shortcomings, commands enormous respect as a club manager. He gives off such energy, and having performed heroics first at Newcastle and then Fulham few would bet against him achieving his goals at Maine Road. This evening that journey begins, with Watford in a First Division encounter at Maine Road.
"Sometimes a little bit of rejection and failure can help," he said. "All my life I have been proving people wrong. I can remember being turned down by Doncaster as a kid because they said I was too small, and then being rejected by Coventry. To be successful you can't always be top dog. It's about how you bounce back.
"How many managers in English football have actually won something? Sir Alex Ferguson has won seven of the last nine Premier League titles and before that we had Liverpool's years of domination. That doesn't leave much room for anyone else, and it doesn't make guys like George Burley and David O'Leary bad managers."
The enthusiasm for his latest role is unmistakable. In May he said it was his intention to have City challenging for the Premiership title within five years. He stands by that comment.
"I don't think there is any doubt this club has potential," he said. "The chairman has said he would like to see us in the top six of the Premier League within five years. That's his aim and I believe it's achievable.
"It will be harder than it was with Newcastle. It cost £40 million over five years to take Newcastle from second bottom in Division Two to top of the Premiership. You could not do that now. This summer we've seen Manchester United spend £50 million on two players. But if we get ourselves back in the top flight we will at least be able to attract the kind of players we need."
While he refuses to discuss the drinking culture that was revealed once Joe Royle had been sacked, he has addressed the situation. Players are allowed to drink in moderation after a game, but for the injured members of the squad alcohol is strictly off limits. Despite these restraints, the players think their new manager is terrific.
"What has gone on in the past does not interest me," he said. "I form my own opinions and so far I'm very impressed with what I see. Everyone has started with a clean sheet of paper and there is a real buzz about the place.
"I have been as active as I wanted to be in the transfer market. I fetched Stuart Pearce in because I knew he would lead both in the dressing room and on the pitch. He will be my captain. And in Eyal Berkovic and Simon Colosimo I have signed two experienced internationals.
"I have never fallen out of love with this game. I had seven years away from football when I retired as a player, but once I realised I was not going to be Open champion I came back. I can leave football alone, but I choose not to.
"This was the only job I would have come back for, though, and maybe that's because it was the nearest thing to what Newcastle was when I went there. There is such passion here, just as there was there, and the supporters will not tolerate mediocrity. In that sense, we share the same goals. It is time to lay the ghosts to rest and take this club forward. We have a new stadium being built and if you look outside you will see that new training pitches are being laid. We have to match that ambition on the field."
He would do well to hang on to that thought as he takes the first step towards his dream today. The vultures should be forgotten, for they exist only in his head.

Though the tale it tells is of a murderous shark with a viciously sharp blade, Amarillo Opera is going for some laughs with its production of "The Threepenny Opera."
The classic Victorian musical, written by the bloody brilliant team of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, closes the opera company's season on Saturday and Sunday in the Globe-News Center for the Performing Arts, 500 S. Buchanan St.
"Usually when you see this show, at least lately, it's done very dark, very existential," director Walker Lewis said. "But the way the show was originally done was as a comedy, and that's the way that we're doing it."
That helps it fit in with the Opera's tradition of closing its season with a light production, if only barely.
In the production, Macheath (sung by Mark Womack) weds Polly Peachum (Maren Weinberger), which greatly displeases her father (Robert Kerr), who controls London's beggars.
Using Macheath's old flame, a prostitute named Jenny (Claire Shackleton), Mr. Peachum eventually gets Macheath arrested and sentenced to hang, though a Brechtian twist frees him at the end.
"Another thing that's interesting about it is it doesn't have one, super-clear, easy plot like most shows," Lewis said. "It's actually more of a collage or a montage, where you can switch the scenes back and forth in different orders. ... It's completely unique.
"It offers us a lot of freedom to really put on a show that we think this audience will love the best," he said.
Playing such brutal characters is a blast for Womack and Shackleton.
"He's a really sinister, terrifying character," said Womack, who previously performed in "La Boheme" and "Madama Butterfly" with the opera. "He murders, he's a thief, but somehow, in the end, he ends up being sort of praised for it and the good guy."
The role of Jenny "feels unnatural" for Shackleton, "but I think the further I delve into it and the further I get into her skin, it's exhilarating to play."

Registers the application with the restart manager.
virtual HRESULT RegisterWithRestartManager( BOOL bRegisterRecoveryCallback, const CString &strRestartIdentifier ); virtual HRESULT RegisterWithRestartManager( LPCWSTR pwzCommandLineArgs, DWORD dwRestartFlags, APPLICATION_RECOVERY_CALLBACK pRecoveryCallback, LPVOID lpvParam, DWORD dwPingInterval, DWORD dwCallbackFlags );
[in] bRegisterRecoveryCallback
TRUE indicates that this instance of the application uses a recovery callback function; FALSE indicates that it does not. The framework calls the recovery callback function when the application exits unexpectedly. For more information, see CWinApp::ApplicationRecoveryCallback.
[in] strRestartIdentifier
The unique string that identifies this instance of the restart manager. The restart manager identifier is unique for each instance of an application.
[in] pwzCommandLineArgs
A string that contains any extra arguments from the command line.
[in] dwRestartFlags
Optional flags for the restart manager. For more information, see the Remarks section.
[in] pRecoveryCallback
The recovery callback function. This function must take a LPVOID parameter as input and return a DWORD. The default recovery callback function is CWinApp::ApplicationRecoveryCallback.
[in] lpvParam
The input parameter for the recovery callback function. For more information, see CWinApp::ApplicationRecoveryCallback.
[in] dwPingInterval
The length of time that the restart manager waits for the recovery callback function to return. This parameter is in milliseconds.
[in] dwCallbackFlags
Flags passed to the recovery callback function. Reserved for future use.
S_OK if the method is successful; otherwise an error code.
If your application uses the default MFC implementation for autosaving files, you should use the simple version of RegisterWithRestartManager. Use the complex version of RegisterWithRestartManager if you want to customize the autosave behavior of your application.
If you call this method with an empty string for strRestartIdentifier, RegisterWithRestartManager creates a unique identifier string for this instance of the restart manager.
When an application exits unexpectedly, the restart manager restarts the application from the command line and provides the unique restart identifier as an optional argument. In this scenario, the framework calls RegisterWithRestartManager two times. The first call comes from CWinApp::InitInstance with an empty string for the string identifier. Then, the method CWinApp::ProcessShellCommand calls RegisterWithRestartManager with the unique restart identifier.
After you register an application with the restart manager, the restart manager monitors the application. If the application exits unexpectedly, the restart manager calls the recovery callback function during the shut down process. The restart manager waits the dwPingInterval for a response from the recovery callback function. If the recovery callback function does not respond within this time, the application exits without executing the recovery callback function.
By default, the dwRestartFlags are not supported but are provided for future use. The possible values for dwRestartFlags are as follows:

Watch: Will Forte talks 'Allen Gregory,' 'Saturday Night Live' and more
What draws the 'Clone High' veteran to voice-over work?
Our introduction to the supporting voices of FOX's "Allen Gregory" continues...
Last week, French Stewart and Nat Faxon talked about voicing the two men who raised and enabled Jonah Hill's title tike,
Now, let's hear from Will Forte, who lends his pipes to several "Allen Gregory" characters, including Superintendent Jeremy Rossmyre, yet another person who helps Allen Gregory maintain his position as the world's most pretentious seven-year-old.
It would be an understatement to say that Forte is no stranger to vocal work, given that his FOX credits alone include "The Cleveland Show," "American Dad!" and "Sit Down, Shut Up." Once you get into work on "Clone High" and a slew of Adult Swim offerings and you have an animation veteran.
In our conversation, Forte discusses what draws him to voice-over work, the fun he's had doing high-profile guest-starring roles and what he still misses about "Saturday Night Live."
Give it a watch...
And "Allen Gregory" premieres on Sunday, October 30 on FOX.

Best Greek Restaurant
One of the pleasures associated with Greek dining is the way customers get to view their food before ordering it. At some restaurants that entails a journey into the kitchen to investigate bubbling pots and check the eyes of the fish -- if they're clear, the critters are fresh. At Culinaros the trip is somewhat abbreviated, as fish are displayed in a deli case near the entrance. And the eyes are bright, no question, making the snapper and swordfish dishes some of the kitchen's best. That's not to say, however, that just because meaty lamb chops are on the menu, baby sheep are also for show. In fact the only dish that truly ruins your appetite for a main course is the appetizer platter for two, comprising tzatziki, hummus, roasted eggplant dip, and spinach pie; it's big and tasty enough to suffice for dinner.

I help Founders and CEOs with strategies for growth.
- Get a GROWTH STRATEGY for your business
What I Do
Leaders all need one thing: Direction. Be they CEO's of a business, founders of a Start-Up or CEO's of a Non-Profit, leaders all want one thing: Strategies for growth.
It might be a strategy for brand dominance, marketing, improved sales, a more effective website, or increasing word of mouth. Regardless, leaders want clear action plans in key areas.
My job is to help leaders put a strategy together to plug these areas of growth.
Rather than hire an agency or give someone a job, my clients hire me to look into their organisation to find their strengths and help them design a plan for them to put into action. All while giving them the confidence they're headed in the right direction.
I've spent over 500 man hours developing a unique process, known as the guided discovery system. A unique system of delivery structures used to generate effective action plans. I developed this system because most strategy planning is geared towards execution. I.e. A focus on what needs to be done, rather than what is the right thing to do.
Instead, through the use of Blueprints, I first figure out what the organisation needs and then put the action plan together.
Blueprints combine the best of both worlds. Leaders know their market well, their product well and their customers well. I combine this domain expertise with the latest in research, best practises and knowledge expertise and put the two together to create a strategy that is the best fit for them. Those action plans thus give leaders the clarity and confidence of what they need to do to generate growth.
My Work For Businesses
It genuinely pains me when I see an organisation that has wasted a huge amount of resources acting on advice that was not right for them.
There are scores of leaders out there overwhelmed by noise, overwhelmed by information. Leaders need to know which of that knowledge applies to them. It's much harder to know what your organisation needs to do, rather than get generic advice that helps everyone. I want to help those people get clarity.
I want to help them cut through the noise through a personal experience that gets to the core of what is relevant only to them.
What really satisfies and exhilarates me is when I've completed an engagement with a client, and they tell me after some time that when I came on board, it made all the difference in the world to their business. That makes me very happy.
My clients treat me like their hired and trusted business partner, even when it's for just a short engagement.
To be in this position, as opposed to someone that is purely sub-contracting or providing a commodity service makes all the difference to my work.
My Work For Start-Ups
It's pretty simple, I absolutely love Start-Ups. I share the same level of excitement and passion as those within Start-Ups I work with. I understand what it feels like to want to create something that has impact, that changes the world. I very much share that vision and enthusiasm.
At the same time I recognise that can't be achieved by technical prowess alone, or development capacity. There has to be a certain, if not, huge amount of marketing that has to go into it.
Helping Start-Ups is my way of contributing to creating impact, not to mention the fact that I love working with developers. I am very comfortable with 'hackers' and 'coders' and understand their view of the world, which is pretty rare, but I can do it, and do.
I like to write about Marketing, Digital Strategy and Entrepreneurship on a regular basis and I like to share my thoughts with people I meet to help them.
Some of my blog posts have been cited in business journals and publications previously.
I usually prepare slide decks for my clients and students to give them a head start or to have something to refer back to later.
I love working with and helping other freelancers.
I created a special video course to help freelancers with marketing.
It has nothing but 5-star reviews and is currently being distributed on multiple course platforms around the globe.
I plan to create more courses next year.
I am a highly ranked expert at Clarity.fm and have rave reviews.
I've helped a number of high-growth Start-Ups through Clarity.fm as well as other websites around the globe.
At one point, I did over 10 hours worth of calls in a period of just 36 hours.
I have a podcast interview coming soon.
Sometimes I conduct online/social experiments, sometimes just for fun and sometimes just to see what's possible.
My last experiment was seen by an estimated 5000 people.

Michael Albright has published poems in various journals, including Stirring, Rust + Moth, Tar River Poetry, Pembroke Magazine, Cider Press Review, Revolver, Moon City Review, Pretty Owl, Uppagus, and the chapbook In the Hall of Dead Birds and Viking Tools. He also curates the "Under the Sign of the Bear" reading series in Pittsburgh, and is managing editor of the Pittsburgh Poetry Review. He lives on a windy hilltop near Greensburg, PA, with his wife, Lori, and an ever-changing array of children and other animals.
DS: Why do you write poetry?
MA: Well, not to get too cute about it, because I can't paint. Everyone has some kind of creative urge, and if we're lucky, we find out what we have an affinity for, how we can express it. Writing has always been my primary means of expression, even before it was something I took seriously. But why poetry? Because I am not a novelist. Or a song-writer. For me, the concision and heightening of language, the interplay between words written on the page, as they are read, evoke a sort of altered state of consciousness, like listening to King Crimson through headphones on acid. I've always considered poetry the highest form or art, which is why I would never be so hubristic to describe myself as "poet." I try to write poetry; it's for other people to say whether I am a poet, or not.
DS: What do you hope to find in poems written by other people?
MA: Simply stated, words I can't stop reading, or listening to. I'm less concerned (but not unconcerned) about meaning than I am with the lyric in the poem. In my favorite poems, the words make the music, and in turn, music makes meaning. I don't care if a poem is linear, as long as the words are arranged in the way that makes me want to read it over and over again, just for the pleasure of it, the way I listen to music. The best make me feel something physical; goose bumps, chills, a feeling of dread in the pit of your stomach. Without the lyric, poems are just newspaper articles.
DS: Describe your works in progress.
MA: I have three projects in progress. The first is a chapbook length collection of usually short, somewhat surrealistic, sometimes absurdist, and always dark hybrid-y prose poems. I am also deep into a manuscript of a combination of original and hybrid work dealing with my balance disorder, and the other conditions that contribute to my disability. Then there is my ever-present "gothic novel in verse of forbidden love, murder, and global warming." I am nothing if not ambitious.
DS: What are your hopes for the future of poetry?
MA: My hope is that poetry continues to become more and more relevant. Despite charges that it isn't relevant (and when did the non-poetry community ever think it was?), it has emerged as one of the best vehicles for people writing from outside of privilege to find an audience. Despite seeing statistics that fewer people are reading poetry than ever, we have this absolute explosion of independent journals and publishers. I'd be surprised if enrollment in poetry MFA programs isn't at an all-time high, a circumstance often maligned, but you'll never hear that from me; you have to be crazy serious about poetry to choose that as your life's work, and all those people have a vested interest in getting more people to read and write poetry. These people are my heroes. They are the future of our art. Every poet who has published a book, or even published a poem in a journal, has friends and family that will read at least one of their poems if they ask them. Ask them.

Four Questions for Susan Yount
Susan Yount was raised on a farm in southern Indiana where she learned to drive a tractor and hug her beloved goat, Cinnamon. She is editor of Arsenic Lobster Poetry Journal, madam of the Chicago Poetry Bordello, and founder of Misty Publications. She also works full time at the Associated Press and teaches online poetry classes at The Poetry Barn. As if all that wasn't enough, she is mother to a rowdy 9-year-old. She has published two chapbooks, House on Fire and Catastrophe Theory. A third chapbook, Act One, is forthcoming from Saucepot Publishing. In her free time, she works on the Poetry Tarot. You can keep up with her progress here.
DS: Why do you write poetry?
SY: Unfortunately, I only write poetry when I have something burning to say. My muse has never been sweet but has always been a bitter fire demon at the edge of a rotting hole inside my being. When the demon gets too close to the raw edge, when the hole feels threatened, that is when the poems erupt. I write poetry to keep the hole from consuming me.
DS: What do you hope to find in poems written by other people?
SY: My favorite poems are honest and filled with the gruesome imagery of the human condition. They reveal something about humanity that we mask in our everyday lives. I'm currently reading Notes for My Body Double by Paul Guest – WHOA! Now that is THE SHIT I've been looking for.
DS: Describe your works in progress.
SY: This is the year I want to work on the Minor Arcana of the Poetry Tarot I started in 2011.
I've finished the Major Arcana which utilizes images of dead poets, their handwriting (whenever it has been available in the public domain) and often an image of their childhood home – or some other important place of writing. You can view some samples here. These are not haphazard images and ideas thrown together. I have meditated, worked myself into frenzy, and even dared the demon to the middle of the hole in order to provide the best representation of the card and the poet.
The true challenge for me is the Minor Arcana and will consist of living poets (at least at the time of creation), a sample of their handwriting and some essence of the poet they are within the imagery of the card itself. I'm currently seeking volunteers – details on how to query me can be found at my tumblr page.
Once all the graphic work is completed, the final goal is to edit a book which interprets the cards and includes a poem from each poet.
DS: What are your hopes for the future of poetry?
SY: I hope I don't lose it. I hope it finds me furious, thirsty, and crying. I hope it fights me in the middle of the night. I hope it buries me alive.

Four Questions for Sarah J. Sloat
Sarah J. Sloat has lived in Germany for many years, where she works as an editor for a news organization. She is usually found at her desk at home or her desk at work; otherwise she is stuck on the subway between them. Sarah's poems and prose have appeared in The Offing, Beloit Poetry Journal, Verse Daily, and many other journals and anthologies. She blogs occasionally at The Rain in My Purse.
DS: Why do you write poetry?
SS: Because I love language, mostly, and the phrases, juxtapositions and sounds that ask to be made more of. There are words that need fondling, and poor lost little ideas that need a parade. Also, as someone who's lived in a foreign country for more than two decades, poetry is a way for me to be at home. I come as much from English as from America, but in the case of the former I still dwell there every day.
And also, what is there to do? When you're charged with making a life and meaning for yourself, what's better than making art with what confronts you every day? Keeping up with the new TV shows?
DS: What do you hope to find in poems written by other people?
SS: My favorite poems articulate something I know or feel but never found the words for, like Cesar Vallejo's "Prayer on the Road," which begins with the arresting ... "I don't even know who this bitterness is for!"
I like energy and daring and surprise, like the wild red-white-and-blue laughter in Colleen O'Brien's "In the Democracy."
I like poems that show me some truth I vaguely sensed but never pursued, whether in thought or articulation, like Marie Howe's "My Dead Friends."
"I have begun,
when I'm weary and can't decide an answer to a bewildering question
to ask my dead friends for their opinion"
I am also in love with funny poems. They do so much work and are difficult to do well. Like Jessy Randall's "Forgetting Simon Perchik."
DS: Describe your works in progress.
SS: Like everypoet I could tell you about my manuscript-in-progress. With five chapbooks, I've got the poems. But that's boring.
Poem-wise, I'm working on what I call sentence and fragment poems, some of which have been published recently, like "Inebriate of Air" and "Deluxe Moments." I've always loved aphorisms so such poems satisfy my inner pithiness.
DS: What are your hopes for the future of poetry?
SS: I wish more people would read it. It's not hard. It's kind of wonderful. It doesn't take long.
Or did you mean the future of my poetry? I hope it becomes wildly successful! I hope it lands a multimillion-dollar deal!

Four Questions for Les Kay
Les Kay is the author of Fronts (Sundress Publications, forthcoming 2016). He is also the author of the chapbooks The Bureau (Sundress Publications, 2015) and Badass (Lucky Bastard Press, 2015), as well as co-author (with Sandra Marchetti, Allie Marini, and Janeen Pergrin Rastall) of the collaborative poetry chapbook Heart Radicals (ELJ Publications, 2016). His poems have been published widely in journals such as Borderlands: Texas Poetry Review, The Collagist, The McNeese Review, Redactions, Santa Clara Review, South Dakota Review, Whiskey Island, and The White Review. Les holds a PhD in English and comparative literature from the University of Cincinnati with a primary emphasis on creative writing, an MFA from the University of Miami, and a BA from Carnegie Mellon University with a double major in creative writing and professional writing. Les currently teaches writing in Cincinnati and volunteers as an associate poetry editor for Stirring: A Literary Collection.
DS: Why do you write poetry?
LK: To change the world.
I know that sounds grandiose, but it's not. I think of poetry primarily as a didactic tool, not in the pejorative sense of the word, but in the sense that I believe any poem, if it's well executed, can teach a reader something about the world. Oftentimes, something about the world that's difficult to teach through other means, like prose or in the classroom. I recognize, of course, that there's a tendency to equate such a view or poetry with elitism—a problem that's been core to poetry in the English language since, well, "Caedmon's Hymn." And if I'm honest with myself, it's probably still a problem with my poetry, primarily because of how I think and the need, at least for now, to engage with multiple visions/versions of poetic tradition.
But let me be clear that I'm not talking about romantic or Romantic notions of a Poet writ large, stumbling down a mountaintop; rather, I think that poetry gives us access to all that is not ourselves and sometimes that which we are not yet. I honestly don't think there's anything that horribly special about me, as a poet, except in the sense that we are all—every last one of us—remarkably special. So my goal isn't to teach, necessarily, all the "important" things I know, but to offer a simultaneously tiny and vast prism on the world and perceptions of the world around us. So, in this way, I think poetry is a radical act, a means of resisting and hoping. A means of sharing knowledge that may otherwise be unquantifiable.
And I think that's part of how the world (of people anyhow) has been and will be changed, but slowly. It's not unlike the recent Doctor Who episode "Heaven Sent" where the Doctor, trapped inside a "confession dial," punches his way through a diamond wall over eons and countless lives. That to me is what the writing of poetry is; it's punching a diamond wall.
Or maybe I just punch the wall because of life's peculiar momentum. I've written poems for so long, why would I stop?
DS: What do you hope to find in poems written by other people?
LK: I want to catch my breath. I want to learn something, however small, about the world around us. I want to see that tiny sliver, like a crack of light in a concrete wall that tells me that this will be different. I want an experience, buttressed by craft, of what has happened, even if only through the contours of imagination. I want to see, hear, taste, smell, touch, sense what I would not otherwise know without the gift of that poem.
DS: What are your current writing projects?
LK: Well, I'm the sort of "prolific" writer who typically has a number of projects in various states of disrepair, so if I'm writing on any given day, the work could be any number of projects, so here's a brief overview of what I'm thinking about these days with the understanding that this is by no means a complete list.
A collaborative chapbook called Heart Radicals, which includes poems by myself, Sandra Marchetti, Allie Marini, and Janeen Pergrin Rastall was just published by ELJ Publications, so I'm spending a fair amount of "free time" promoting that. This summer, my first full-length collection, Fronts, will be published by Sundress Publications, so I expect that some serious editing work is forthcoming.
Aside from that work, I'm planning to revise what was my creative dissertation in a creative writing PhD program. I hope that will be my second full-length collection and pray that finding a good home for that book doesn't take so long or cost so much as Fronts did.
I'm also working here and there on short stories, particularly flash pieces. I have a chapbook in mind, but that's not quite to the stage where the entire manuscript can be sent out. So far, I've published three of the stories, but there are a few that need substantial revision before a publisher sees the book.
In addition, during the summer of 2015, I started writing a creative nonfiction essay about returning "home" to Texas from Ohio for a weeklong visit. It, somehow, became much more to me than a simple travelogue with scenes of family interspersed. In fact, that project became more in every sense of the word; the draft is over 50,000 words now and is growing. When I have time, this is the writing project I most want to focus on, for now.
DS: What are your hopes for the future of poetry?
LK: I'd like to see the audience for poetry grow substantially. I've long believed that our short-attention span, technology-infused, overwhelmingly busy lifestyles both need and want the tiny sticks of dynamite or swelling murmuration of starlings that can be found in poems. Read a poem on the bus, be transported. Read a poem during a commercial break and learn something that someone with too much power may not want you to know. Read a poem before bed and see that your mind, too, might reach vistas that even the best of films can only approach.
In some ways, I've found myself both baffled and fraught by the relatively limited reach and cultural import that poetry has in this country from the perspective of every poet who is not Billy Collins. This is not to suggest, as has been suggested in decades past, that poets should change what they do to make it "easier," "more relevant," or "more exciting." Poetry is already all of those things, though its ease is relative and frequently mistaken as something altogether different. I honestly don't think poets (for the most part) should change a damn thing other than what they are already changing in order to write what they need and want to write in the way that they need and want to write it. I think, instead, that publishers and editors ought to question, deeply, their business models. No one should have to pay a dime to have their poems read. They should need, only, to write good poems. Moreover, all of us involved with poetry, including teachers and writers, should be clear about what poetry does. It is not the answer to a quiz question or an esoteric religion or a complex puzzle. It is—even its most emotionally difficult forms—a technology and art that points the way toward joy.
And who doesn't want that?

DS: Why do you write poetry?
MB: I write poetry because I can't sing, play an instrument, or paint. I write poems to knit disparate images, to play with sound, ink up the white space or give white space the silence it deserves. I write poems to remember the ugly, the thorny, and the forgettable—to find that kid by the fence we all forgot about.

DS: What do you hope to find in poems written by other people?
MB: When I read other poets, I'm looking for an exact order of thought. The moment when you say, yes, exactly, that is what I've been after—a clearly wrought image or simple realization. From Larry Levis' "The Spirit Says, You Are Nothing":
MB: When I read other poets, I'm looking for an exact order of thought. The moment when you say, yes, exactly, that is what I've been after—a clearly wrought image or simple realization. From Larry Levis' "The Spirit Says, You Are Nothing":
A thin line of ants hesitate
Before running over it,
And you think how
The thread of worry running through a human voice
Halts when a syllable freezes, then goes on,
Alone. …
DS: What are your current writing projects?
MB: I'm still listening to two lost girls who I believe to be a version of Vladimir and Estragon. I'm not sure where they are or why they keep speaking to me, but I'm on an adventure with them. Every time I think I have it all figured out, the girls introduce a new character or problem. In some ways the project is addressing infertility, miscarriage, and the need to keep creating.

DS: What are your hopes for the future of poetry?
MB: I think poetry is right where it needs to be and it will continue to grow and respond to the world around us. I think there are more voices being heard across the world, across styles; genre-bending poets, poets willing to talk about race, gender, oppression, violence. There are also many poets devoting their personal time and passion to founding reading series, presses, and literary magazines. There is no sign of poetry disappearing. We need it in much the same way that we need fine art and music.

DS: Why do you write poetry?
DS: Why do you write poetry?
NA: The short answer: I don't have a choice.
The not-so-short answer: I've always been a writer. Page & pen were my escape in childhood--stories that conquered notebooks and fell out onto restaurant place mats, receipt paper, any blank space. Near the end of high school I started writing poetry. Maybe it was first-time love that pushed me to it, or maybe the collection of e.e. cummings poems I hauled around. Maybe it was just a matter of time. But it happened. Poetry was the mainline to the feeling. I felt so much that I wanted to get to it as quickly as possible. There is a relief in getting it out, putting it down--it's hard to describe.
DS: What do you hope to find in poems written by other people?
NA: It doesn't have a name. It's a thing, a moment, turn of the knife in a phrase. Whatever it is pulls me to it as soon as I read it. My body disappears.
DS: What are your current writing projects?
NA: I'm writing new things and editing older pieces. I hope to have a book ready to go this year.
DS: What are your hopes for the future of poetry?
NA: Continued growth. Continued dialogue. My hope is that people continue to use poetry as a means of expression, truth-telling, protest, release.

DS: Why do you write poetry?
AH: It all starts with reading. Reading was such an important part of my childhood. Is such an important part of my life now. Will, I assume, always be so. There's something powerful and mystical about disappearing into language, losing yourself in someone else's words and worlds. The way I feel when I read something good, that lump in the back of the throat … I write on the off chance my own words could ever come close to creating that feeling in someone else. It's about human connection. About making sense of the world. About the hope that my voice could somehow, some way matter to someone.
As for why poetry as opposed to some other genre, maybe it's because I have a short attention span and I can finish writing a poem a lot quicker than a novel or even a short story? Maybe it's because I wanted to be free from narrative requirements? Maybe it's because poetry is inherently disruptive, challenging, sometimes difficult and I like the impossibility of it; maybe poetry knows
full well it is destined to fall short of its aspirations and I can relate
to that.
full well it is destined to fall short of its aspirations and I can relate
to that.
DS: What do you hope to find in poems written by other people?
AH: I want to be surprised, unsettled, envious. I want to read a poem and be instantly irked that I didn't write it myself. I want to read a poem and know that I could never, ever have written it myself. I want a poem to stick with me so that I find myself still musing on it hours, days, years after reading it. I want a poem to leave me hungry.
DS: Describe your works in progress.
AH: I have two manuscripts that are in that maddening state of being done / almost done / maybe done / I don't know what to do next with them. One's currently titled Boom Box, and it's full of poems about growing up in a small town in Alabama and religion and heavy metal and the 1980s. The other I'm calling Seducing the Asparagus Queen and it's about wandering and rootlessness and this character named The Letter X. And love. Both books are about love. ("About" is probably the wrong word. I resist the idea that saying what a poem is "about" is a meaningful way to talk about that poem, yet I do it, here and all the time, for lack of a better way to say what I mean. Once again, language falls short.) Anyway, I'm arranging and rearranging these two manuscripts, adding new poems and deleting others and sending them out and getting them rejected and waiting for a publisher to share my vision of turning them from manuscripts into books.
DS: What are your hopes for the future of poetry?
AH: Wow, I don't know. Poetry is not a monolith. Sometimes I think we all spend too much time talking about "poetry" and not enough about poems. So many think-pieces about how poetry is dead, or poetry is alive, or poetry can or cannot be taught, or academia is ruining poetry or whatever, as if poetry were a single thing, an entity we can see all at once. Like poetry is Spider-Man and we're all J. Jonah Jameson chasing the expose. Poetry is not Spider-Man. It's not even the whole Marvel Universe. It's more diverse and diffuse and ineffable
than that.
than that.
But I feel like I'm ducking your question, so how about this: I guess I hope poetry keeps on doing what it has always done: exist and struggle in this complicated human world, pushing against the limits of language and striving to explain and reflect and explore what it means to be alive and feeling and thinking on this crowded planet.

Hey all,
I'm in a dire need of a profiler for CF3.5, but EQUATEC is not sold anymore and dotTrace fails to run :(
The device has Windows Mobile 6.5 with 3.5 CF installed, the version is 3.5.10181 reported by the cgacutil. Whenever I start profiling I'm getting on device error about it failed to load required components (at "Deploying profiling cores" stage), error -2147483620 (8000001C). The program itself works okay, I've checked on 2 computers and 2 devices (that's all I have).
Checking the \Windows folder I see no trace of dotTrace dlls, so I copied all of armv4i ones from JetBrains\dotTrace\v5.5\Bin but that did not help. Is there a way to find out what exactly it is missing?

Georgia defensive lineman Abry Jones was plagued by injuries throughout his collegiate career. In his healthiest season in 2011, Jones led Bulldogs defensive linemen with 48 tackles and was voted one of the team's most improved players. He played all over the line and showed great versatility.
The 2012 season was a different story, as Jones' campaign was cut short by an ankle injury followed by surgery in October.
The 6'3", 313-pound Jones grew up with a military family. Both his parents were extremely athletic and pushed Abry in whatever he did. Now he hopes he can be pushed to stay healthy and enjoy a strong NFL career.
We caught up with Jones at Athletes' Performance in Gulf Breeze, Fla., where he was training and getting ready for the NFL.
Where will Abry Jones go in the 2013 NFL draft? You're invited to Bleacher Report's Live Draft Party from Times Square in New York City.
If you can't make it to the party live, we'll see you online for our live draft party coverage.
