SOUTH BEND, IND. - Coming out of the gates with 11 new personal best finishes, the University of North Carolina cross country teams showed individual perseverance in fields vetted with nationally ranked contenders ultimately seeing the Tar Heel women take seventh and the men 11th.
"Individually we had some outstanding performances. Team wise we are where we were coming in," said head coach Mark VanAlstyne after the meet. "We're still right on the bubble of the national rankings but we had some opportunities to beat some of the ranked teams."
Of those numerous personal records, Lianne Farber lead the Carolina women with her second 17:00 5K of the season and a 14th-place finish. Kylie McCoy and Ashley Miess blew their previous personal bests away by nearly a minute each, with McCoy finishing in 25th at 17:12 and Miess in 44th at 17:25. Annie LeHardy couldn't quite match her high performance from two weeks ago, still managing to contribute to the Tar Heels' team finish with her 46th-place 17:26.
"On the women's side, I felt like Lianne was solid," said Coach VanAlstyne. "Kylie had a fantastic day and she really came out charging through the field really running well for us. And Ashley had a huge PR. On the surface is you look at it, the one to four ladies were solid."
Personal records in the 5K also came for Sami Jorgensen (72nd, 17:39), Karley Rempel (87th, 17:51), Malia Cali (92nd, 17:56), and Emma Norman (108th, 18:08). Mariana Lucena competed in her first race of the season, running in 18:03 to finish 101st in the field of 145 runners.
The women's team faced four top-30 ranked opponents, all of which placed in the top four at the meet. No. 2 Florida State took home first place, host No. 20 Notre Dame placed second, No. 19 New Mexico placed third and No. 25 NC State placed fourth.
In his first race of 2012, Patrick Schellberg blazed through the field to a personal best of 24:12, taking 21 seconds off his former top 8K time to finish 21st in a field of 163. The two and three runners for the Tar Heels also earned PRs, Jack Driggs with his 40th-place 24:25 and Ryan Walling at 53rd in 24:32.
"I can't say enough about Pat - he has literally been running less than two weeks and his mileage is probably only 60- to 70-percent of his deep mileage," said Coach VanAlstyne, "Pat had a fantastic day and looked good, so I think the next couple of weeks will be really fun to watch him progress.
"Jack had a huge breakthrough along with his PR," Coach VanAlstyne added, "He doesn't feel like it was a great effort on his part, that he could have been more aggressive and gotten closer to 24:00 flat, which is a great attitude for him to have and I agree with him. Now Ryan has been battling an illness for a while, but his PR performance was a great outing for him and I was really encouraged by that."
Despite battling a nagging injury, Isaac Presson came through for the Tar Heels, running his 8K in 24:36 to finish 60th. Mark Derrick earned a personal best of 24:48 to place 80th. Carolina's men's performances were rounded off by Scott Morgan placing 89th in 24:53 followed by Steve Magnuson in 90th in 24:54.
The men faced nine top-30 ranked teams, eight of which finished in the top 10 of the meet. No. 20 Tulsa took first, tied at No. 17 Princeton second, host No. 24 Notre Dame third, No. 10 Florida State fourth, No. 21 New Mexico sixth, No. 14 Texas A&M seventh, No. 29 Washington State eighth, and No. 11 NC State in 10th. Carolina did outplace No. 26 Michigan who finished 19th in the team finish.
"Overall I think both teams feel like we have a lot left to give out on the course," said Coach VanAlstyne, "They are encouraged and looking forward to getting to Wisconsin and proving they do deserve to be among the best teams in the country."
Running separately in the JV races were Braedon Koerwitz, who placed fifth in his race with a personal best of 25:25, and Aundrea Holmes, who placed seventh in her race with a PR of 19:04.
The Tar Heels will next head to Madison, Wisc., on October 12th for the Wisconsin Invitational. The meet is expected to prove to be a highlight on the NCAA Division I cross country circuit with more ranked competition running in the field.

"It's obviously a tragedy for those countries and it really talks about the importance of having a basic health care infrastructure in place."
That's the province's Chief Medical Health Officer talking about the Ebola outbreak in West Africa that's killed hundreds.
However, Dr. Perry Kendall says there's not much chance of it reaching our shores.
Kendall says Ebola isn't like the flu, which is spread through the respiratory system.
"You have to come in contact with bodily secretions that could be blood, semen, saliva, sweat, vomitous material and people aren't infectious until they are symptomatic."
He adds: "We have good hygienic practices in healthcare settings and in our hospitals, so we would not expect to see the kind of risks they are seeing in relatively primitive hospitals."

"The Multivox MX-880 is known as a preset monophonic analog synthesizer with a 3-octave, 37-note (C-C) keyboard with aftertouch. Although it is a preset synth by definition, it has 22 knobs and sliders which can override the preset values. As far as I know this analog synth was made late early to mid 1970 's. Some of its features were obviously taken from some of the Roland models that were made at that time, and the Filters on the Multivox MX - 880 are strikingly similar to the Moog filters. (rumored to have been identical)
Comments About the Sounds:
This synth can produce major electronic bleeps, sweeps, harsh noises, as well as mellow, moody, ethereal pads. Even if you don't know anything about synthesizer programming the layout of the controls makes it a breeze to customize the sounds to your taste."

Fringe - chic or infantalising?
Carla Browne, by email
Truly, it is a question every woman, and the occasional special man, must ask themselves at some point. On the one hand you might look ever so chic and français and ooh la la in an Audrey Tautou way, or you might look like a kind of disturbing overgrown child in an Audrey Tautou in Amélie kinda way. I could go on about how it's all dependent on face shape and eye colour and shoulder width and other randomly conjoined words but, frankly, I'm not a hairdresser so uttering such matter for too long gives me a pain in the head.
So instead let's look at it this way: a fringe is basically a way to cover up more of your face. Sometimes this is a good thing: it is cheaper than buying a bottle of Clearasil (for the younger readers) and cheaper than Botox (for the more neurotic readers). Also, if one looks to popular culture for guidance - and really, who doesn't? - a fringe sporter is generally a good thing. Think of Brenda in Beverly Hills, 90210: OK, so maybe she erred on the whiny side but she was clearly the female character least likely to end up a total psychopath. So, you know, yay! Think, too, of Mindy in Mork & Mindy: she has a fringe and an eligible alien literally falls into her lap and marries her. Coincidence? Clearly not. Single ladies across the land, take note - better than internet dating any day of the week.
Of course, there are some rules that can pretty much be summed up as "not too short (too Little Lord Fauntleroy), not too long (too Nicole Richie), not too severe (too Betty Boo - the one who was Doin' the Do, just to clarify)". Otherwise, all good, and, no, I will not make a joke about fringe benefits - I won't, I won't, I won't.
Lily Allen has recently dyed her hair pink. Is this a good thing?
Marilyn Bose, London
It is a terrible thing for Allen, for women and for the world at large. Consider the inevitable consequences: a celebrity does something stupid. Obviously, the rest of the world blindly, unthinkingly and unblinkingly copies. Suddenly the whole world is awash with pink-haired clones. Good lord, it would be like getting stuck in a video by that pop singer - what's her name again? Oh yes, Pink. You see how damaging this stuff is? You then feel you have to build your whole personality around the dye job. And no surprise, really: you know when you say something really dumb like, oh, I don't know, that you are the inevitable and only Democratic presidential candidate, only then for it to begin to look as if this might not be the case but to prevent such negative thoughts from creeping into your determinedly blinkered head you just keep shouting the phrase over and over and over? Yes, well, that's what Pink looks like: denial through over-insistence.
As does Allen, for that matter. Although I was not present at the occasion, it is hard not to suspect that it was a decision taken when one's mind was clouded with other matters. Now, we've all had bad mornings-after, opened one's eyes, endured the memories of things said the night before only then to close one's eyes swiftly and console yourself that it doesn't matter, everyone will forgive you under the What Was Said While Drunk Is Not To Be Remembered law of 1841 and, anyway, surely everyone was worse than you. But imagine if that pointed comment or unnecessary admission you uttered while inebriated didn't just drift away into the ether: instead, it hardened, like a cartoon speech bubble, around your head for the next however many months. That is what Allen's pink hair looks like.
Call me Mainstream Milly (actually, please do - anything but this wretched "Hadley" nonsense) but I've never understood the point of dyeing one's hair a shade that is obviously false. Doesn't that go against the whole raison d'etre of most beauty treatments - to look effortlessly beautiful, even if that effortless-ness actually entails an investment of £475 a week and a schedule that would baffle six-brains Sarkozy in its intricacy? And while different people find different qualities appealing, I have never heard "obvious artificiality" cited as a plus in anyone's favour.
So, please, children of Britain, listen to me, I beg of you: stay away from the pink hair dye, tempting as it is to copy everything a celebrity does. I, for one, am currently copying Amy Winehouse's Hilda-Ogden-in-hotpants look. Come to think of it, that one hasn't really been working out so well either. Tchuh, you just can't get the role models these days.

The source did not envision a scenario where McDonald, a native of Washington, D.C., would be welcomed back to the program.
While the source declined to give specifics on McDonald's dismissal, he did say it was not related to the recent scuffle in a State College apartment that allegedly involved several Penn State football players.
McDonald was not listed on the roster for Saturday's Blue-White Game.
McDonald arrived at Penn State in 2005 and redshirted as a true freshman. As a deep reserve in 2006, the 6-foot-2, 195-pounder played in seven games, catching one ball for eight yards.
McDonald was a two-sport standout at Dunbar High in Washington, D.C., helping the football team to three city championships and the basketball team to one title. He had 47 catches for 915 yards and 13 touchdowns on the gridiron as a senior.

US electronic passports from Dec
Page Tools
The United States will begin issuing electronic passports in December to help tighten border and identity security, the State Department says.
A computer chip will be embedded in passport covers and will hold the same information that is written on the inside: name, date of birth, gender, place of birth, dates of passport issue and expiry, passport number and a photo. The chip will also have a unique digital signature designed to protect the data from tampering.
The chips will have technology to prevent unauthorised reading, or "skimming," of the data.
By October 2006, all US passport agencies will issue the electronic passports.

Heading For The Exits In Prague
When Prime Minister Vaclav Klaus wanted to privatize the Czech Republic's state-owned companies back in 1992, he hit on a novel solution. Klaus gave vouchers to Czech citizens, let them use the scrip to bid for corporate shares, and set up an exchange where they could be traded. Once stock trading got going, he figured foreign investors would pile in--and they did. But five years later, the foreigners are getting fed up.
Disappointed that new securities laws are not being enforced and that the government still has not set up an independent market regulator, a growing number of money managers from London, Zurich, and New York are pulling out. "People are saying, `Right, I've had enough,"' says Vladimir Jaros, market analyst with Wood & Co., a Prague broker.
HUNGARY'S GAIN. The foreign exodus is turning the Prague market into the laggard of the region's major markets (chart). Trading volumes have sharply declined, and the Prague index is up only 21%, in dollars, since the start of last year, against 87% for Warsaw and 137% in Budapest. Analysts estimate that up to $500 million has fled Prague in recent months. Indeed, Arpad Pongracz of Zurich-based Vontobel Asset Management has dropped his Czech holdings to 5.6% of his portfolio, from 21% a year ago. He dumped a cross-section of industrial companies, hanging on to a few blue chips, such as SPT Telecom, and shifted more cash into Hungary. "It made no financial sense to stick around," he says.
On paper, at least, the Czechs are offering investors a square deal. The government passed sweeping laws last July regulating the stock market. Among other things, they require investors to report large stakes and that anyone buying 51% of a company offer to buy out the remaining 49% at the average price of the previous six months.
Meanwhile, Prague Stock Exchange chief Tomas Jezek has introduced ethical standards that bar brokers from drawing money out of clients' accounts without their approval and that forbid them from trading ahead of their clients. But the local crowd is laughing at attempts to rein in the market. The new rules are easy to evade. And the Czech Republic still is swarming with shadowy investments, hidden corporate debt, secret side deals, and cozy relationships among banks and industries.
FAMILIAR FACES. For example, Chemapol, a large holding company, and Vojenske Stavby, a construction firm, own stakes in Investicini a Postovni Banka, a major lender. Representatives of both companies sit on the bank's board. The bank, in turn, is a shareholder in Chemapol and Vojenske Stavby. Such close ties have brought some banks to ruin. At the end of 1996, many large investment funds began moving money into smaller banks, to be funneled in turn into illiquid investments and risky loans. This resulted in several banks failing. As a result, the Finance Ministry in December seized two investment funds for unethical trading and threatened to yank the licenses of 20 others.
Despite the moves, Klaus still leans toward laissez-faire management of the market. But critics say Klaus does not seem to understand the importance of a transparent capital market in attracting cash from abroad. Without foreign investors, the country will be hard-pressed to find takers for new bond and stock issues. And the Czechs also need all the foreign cash they can get to balance a drop in exports caused by the strong crown. "The balance is very fragile," says Vontobel's Pongracz.
Indeed, the yearend bank failures and fund seizures may be an indication that governing the stock market with a nudge and a wink may no longer be acceptable to the big-bucks investors the Czechs still need. True, the Prague stock market has jumped 11% in recent weeks. But analysts say this was caused more by local fund managers churning their portfolios than by any new influx of foreign investment. And once the boomlet wanes, the same old questions about Prague's investor-unfriendly ways will linger on.

An apparent heroin user cooks up in the stairwell of a block of flats, oblivious to the world around him.
Little does he know an eagle-eyed teenager with a camera phone is just metres away, watching him as he prepares to shoot up in a public place.
Nowadays Robbie Gunn has a £470 Canon 600D DSLR but back then he had to make do with the mobile phone in his pocket.
This apparent heroin user was caught on camera.
The 18-year-old's family all chipped in one Christmas and he hasn't looked back since.
He told News Shopper: "Whenever something happened I kind of wanted to capture the moment and portray a message.
"I don't want people to react by saying 'look at this druggie, they should just kill him'.
Robbie with Harriet Koroma, 17.
"I want them to have some compassion and sympathy for them because that's what I feel."
Robbie, who lives in Hinskey Path, Abbey Wood, has spent the last few years documenting the lives of those who live in the surrounding area, including Thamesmead.
He said: "I like the area and a lot of people are genuinely nice people but so many of them grew up in bad circumstances with a lack of opportunities.
Robbie's sister Danielle with the family dog Bella.
"Quite a lot of people don't have the motivation to better themselves and get a decent job because they don't see the opportunities or have the finances to do what they want to do.
"Some of my pictures show the problems the area has.
"They aren't really getting solved and things are pretty bad at the moment and the people who do drugs really need help."
It is not all doom and gloom though as there are moments of beauty, like where Robbie's sister Danielle, 16, strolls across a railway footbridge with the family dog Bella, or the light reflects eerily off floodwater behind a bench.
The pictures' author, who has just finished a B.Tech in Media at Bexley Business Academy, said: "I would like to move out if I'm lucky enough to get a well paid job.
"But I'll always come back to see what's going on."

text: in the past 6 yrs we have had to have a plumber come in 3 times. I'm at the end of my rope. We live on a slab house, every other year the shut off for the cold water in my shower decides it doesn't want to totally shut off. With the way the economy is we've gotten to the point that instead of having it fixed again we just shut off the water to the shower. We're down to 1 bath and now the tub stop is acting up. Hubby and I have watched all kinds of how to videos but don't know how to fix the shower. We got the tub fixed for now but don't know how long it will last. Other than removing and redoing the shower I don't know what to do. The valve seems to be too short for the depth of the wall so when I turn off the water after a few weeks it works loose and if I try to shut it all the way the screw that hold on the handle snaps. HELP!!!!

We love it when a totally new and totally hot-chested contestant enters the polygon battlefield that is our Page 3 ta-on-ta weekly showdown. This week we meet Sabine Jemeljanova, completely new to us, though we've already imprinted her entire body on our libidos down to the nanometer, and looking like she just might be a future superstar. But you don't get anywhere in this game without taking down a champ, a champ like Rosie Jones whose funbags have dominated the glamscape for a couple years now.
So, who takes the grand prize this week for the grandest protruding puppies?
Not that we're pushing you in one direction or another in your vote, but you really must take a look at the introduction to Sabine Jemeljanova in the current edition of Zoo magazine.
And most definitely check out the Sabine Jemeljanova topless debut video only on Zoo.

Even Britney Spears Shops at Target — You Can Save Money on Christmas Gifts Without Looking Cheap
I am the first to admit that being an adult is a real drag sometimes, especially around the holidays. Gone are the days when I'd receive greeting cards full of money in the mail. Now I'm the one hitting the ATM on the way home from work and mailing off Christmas cash. Rather than thumbing through a Toys R' Us catalog and circling everything I want from Santa this year, I'll be stressing over my savings account and how much of it I can bear to part with in December for Christmas gift shopping.
And what's even worse than adulthood? Young adulthood, which often involves rent payments that take up half your income and cheap meals that come from a box rather than an oven. It's no wonder the holidays can wreak havoc on a budding budget.
That's why I won't be spending nearly as much money this year as I have in the past. I've learned that generosity is always appreciated, but never enough to make that sinking feeling in your stomach disappear after checking your bank account balance on December 26. Your family and friends either like you or they don't — no amount of money spent can change that sentiment, so you might as well save money on gifts.
After blowing more cash than I'd like to think about in previous years, here are my top tips for saving money on gifts during the holidays.
How to Save Money on Christmas Gifts
Swallow Your Pride and Shop at Target. I love Target. And what's not to love about a place where you can grab shampoo, patio chairs, a cute dress and a capo for your guitar all in one trip? Even Britney Spears admits she shops at Target regularly, and Natalie Portman was seen earlier this year wearing a $40 Target dress to an event. If that's not enough to convince you that Target should be your money-saving mecca for cheap holiday gifts, also know that they offer a debit version of their Red Card, so you can save 5 percent on all your purchases without having to use credit.
Take Advantage of Amazon. This online retailer is a lifesaver year round, but my love for Amazon.com really swells during the month of December. If you have a book or music lover in your life, you will find the best prices on Amazon hands down. And if you're looking for something else — anything else — Amazon will probably have that, too, and for cheap. Then there's the shipping, which is not only blazing fast, but usually free as well; just be sure you're ordering from Amazon and not a third-party seller to easily qualify for free shipping.
Divide and Conquer. Not only do I have my own family to worry about at Christmas, but my boyfriend's too. That's why they "kids" in his family — the older brother and wife, the middle sister and boyfriend, and us, have stopped buying individual gifts for each other and pool our names to be drawn from instead. Cutting five gifts down to one not only reduces on costs significantly, but also allows you to put more thought into the single gift you're tasked with purchasing. Just be sure the Star Wars fanatics are paired with each other or you could be in for disappointment on Christmas morning.
Kill Two Birds. Speaking of couples, it's much more cost-effective to buy one gift that two people can enjoy together, rather than individual gifts. However, this will require that you know the couple well and can provide a single gift that they'll both appreciate and use equally.
Don't Make it about You. The blessing of a generous family can quickly turn into a moral dilemma when you don't have the equivalent cash to spend on them. If you're really strapped this year and feel uncomfortable accepting gifts, ask that others simply take you off their shopping lists. And if you're sure they'll ignore your request and spend money on you anyway, ask that they donate to a charity of your choice rather than purchasing material gifts for you this year.
It's easy to get wrapped up in the idea that spending money equates to demonstrating gratitude, but it's important to take a step back every now and then and remember the real reason we're all celebrating. Giving and receiving gifts is fun and makes for a special holiday, but it's not worth it if you struggle with debt the rest of the year due to overspending.

I peep from time to time outside while enjoying the coffee I made and draw the balcony door wide open to let oxygen and the cool fresh air get inside the room.
I step outside and take a huge breath
I am so thankful to be out here at this moment and honestly I could have never have traded these peaceful moments not even if I had to trade them for a sumptuous dinner outing!
The photos are taken at three different stages in the day. The sea became rough after midday and it was cloudy but with no rain. This is the roughest the waters can be out here in winter. The last photos show a bunch of amateur surfers struggling to get on their boards at 4.30 pm.
I have a video for those of you who follow me as I travel. It will help you get the whole picture of what I am describing –mainly the lapping of water on the Mediterranean coast. Enjoy it.

Being Here
"Here" at the University of Alabama's creative writing program we've been enjoying this week the company of poet Juliana Spahr. Scare quotes exhaustively (and perhaps exhaustingly) explained after the jump.
Last night Spahr gave a vigorous and mesmerizing reading of two long pieces rooted in places. The first piece, a sort of memoir/encyclopedia of her hometown of Chillicothe, OH, featured a reference to Muriel Rukeyser's "The Book of the Dead" about fifteen seconds after I thought to myself, "This reminds of 'The Book of the Dead,'" which added goosebumps on top of the goosebumps the piece had already engendered and made me feel like a real-live smarty-pants. The second piece concerned a long-running and combative collaboration between two writers, one from Berkeley and one from Oakland, who meet on a small plot of land on the border between those two cities to try to create a text about the geographical, historical, psychological, and political liminality of the place. (I don't think it's actually the case, but I couldn't help entertaining the notion that both collaborators were products of Spahr's imagination. Just seemed like something this protean and prolific writer might well have come up with.)
Spahr's work often takes the form of, or at least engages with the spirit of, what William Least-Heat Moon called "deep maps," and we were delighted when she agreed to be here in Tuscaloosa for a week to lead a group of graduate students in a collaborative workshop which would, in her words, "write something about Tuscaloosa that . . . will get at the 'psycho' in 'psychogeography.'"
She went on to describe her agenda for the workshop thusly: "Guy Debord wrote that in the dérive 'one or more persons during a certain period drop their relations, their work and leisure activities, and all their other usual motives for movement and action, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.' We will attempt this: to write something that captures the flow of acts, the gestures, the strolls, the encounters of Tuscaloosa."
(I love how with the single word "strolls" Spahr conjures up Baudelaire (via Benjamin) on the flâneur: "The poet enjoys the incomparable privilege of being himself and someone else as he sees fit. Like a roving soul in search of a body, he enters another person whenever he wishes. For him alone, all is open; if certain places seem closed to him, it is because in his view they are not worth inspecting.")
This seemed to me a brilliant idea for a weeklong workshop, especially since so many of our graduate students come to Tuscaloosa from elsewhere, which fact, combined with the fact that graduate school is a strange place/space to live in and through no matter how, where, when, or why you go, can create a sense of disconnection from one's surroundings which can be disorienting but I think also generative.
I think I've had too much coffee. Sorry if my syntax is "off the hook."
Throughout the week, whenever I saw one of the students in workshop and asked how the project was going, they'd get this faraway look, and then: "It's awesome." Or: "It's amazing." Which was great to hear, but a little vague! Understandably so: These participants were pretty much maxxed out, doing their regular busy schedules by day and then writing into the night with Juliana.
So anyway I was tickled this morning when, idly Googling "Juliana Spahr" to see if I could find out more about the pieces she read last night, I found the top hit on the search results page to be a blog called Swoonrocket, the most recent entries on which, lo and behold, describe the goings-on in Spahr's workshop here this week! I figured at first it must be the blog of one of the students in the class, but soon realized it's Spahr's own blog.
This is turning into a long story.
But maybe worth it because this is kind of weird, isn't it? I go to cyberspace to find information about imaginative poems about real places written by a poet who has no prior connection with this place I live in but who has been very present in this place all week, since she left her place and came to our place in order to lead an effort to see this place more clearly through the vehicle of imaginative acts. And I find in virtual space an account of her group's efforts this week to render the actual space of the town in which she, the students, and I are all currently residing but which is really in many ways a virtual space for all of us, since Juliana's just visiting, the students aren't from here and most won't remain here, and as for me, I do live here, but I often feel I "live" more in books and journals and web sites than I do in this actual GPS-able location where I'm sitting right now.
And another weird thing. I feel kind of funny about linking to Juliana's Swoonrocket site. The entries there have a kind of intimate tone, sort of like it's a set of notes to herself, not necessarily for public consumption. Like it's a private place rather than a public place. I thought about calling her to ask about this, but a) it's still pretty early in the morning, and b) geez, it's the first hit you get when you Google her, so how private can it be? Still, I think we can discern some Potential Discussion Questions (PDQs) in this situation re the public/private, present/absent, immanent/transcendent nature of the interweb.
I considered calling this post "This Connection of Everyone with Blogs," but it seemed a little too cheesy.
Rebecca, this is my rambling and benighted "answer" to your question about place.
Privacy invasion anxieties notwithstanding, everyone should check out on Swoonrocket the terrifically inspiring set of prompts Juliana used to jumpstart her workshop here. Try them out on your own town!
At the reading last night, one of the members of Juliana's workshop told the audience, "We were to write a book about Tuscaloosa. We wrote two."
In conclusion: Thanks for visiting us "here," Juliana Spahr!

On the border (one of many invisible fronteras dividing this sphere) between Berkeley and Oakland, there is an installation of nine eight-foot tall steel letters (artists: Steve Gillman and Katherine Keefer, URL: http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/ContentDisplay.aspx?id=19660).
On the Berkeley side, HERE. Onn the Oakland side (where there is no there there, Gertrude), THERE.
this will be vague also: but i love julianan spahr! her work rocks!
Swoonrocket is a goldmine.
I know, right? But was it evil to link to that? I feel like I've outed somebody. But that's ridiculous, right?
I guess I'll just ask Juliana myself when I see her later today.
Terrific, Don. I feel inexorably moved to mention two more of my favorite wanderweggers.
Rebecca Solnit
Claudio Magris
Thrillers both.
One of my favorite melancholy strollers (don't think of a sad baby-buggy trudging down the sidewalk! Don't!!) is W.G. Sebald. Here's a map of Sebald's walks through Rings of Saturn:
Jill, I was totally going to mention Sebald and am so glad you did. That map is fantastic! Someone should do the same for Austerlitz.
One step ahead of you, Joel!
If the (great) Chillicothe poem is the same one Juliana Spahr read when I saw her in Chicago it can be found "here":
Yar! That is it the very same. Thank you, Daniel! And duh, I should have known that, since I have reviews in that same issue of Lana Turner. Duh. Can't keep track of everything, I guess.
The aforementioned Rukeyser shout-out, by the way, comes at the beginning of the epilogue.
As Daniel already knows, it's quite remarkable to hear Juliana perform this piece in person. She reads with great fluency, but also with startling speed. The effect is I guess I'd say immersive. Sort of the way reading Stein out loud can become immersive.
to add: stephen vincent's poetry collection 'walking theory' is fab. bay area in the house!
No, great to link so Spahr. More thoughts in process please, more entanglements and wonder and less polish. Though that seems to garner many thumbs down around here.

Naturally 7 has performed to standing ovations all over the world and now are bringing their critically-acclaimed vocal style home to the United States with the release of their debut U.S. album, Hidden In Plain Sight which will release to the public on July 29th on Hidden Beach Experiences.
Hidden in Plain Sight truly defies description and it is a true album experience of the highest quality," states Hidden Beach CEO Steve McKeever. "We expect the listener to be both blown away and question the fact that there's not a single musical instrument used on the album which is an astonishing feat, unprecedented when you hear the results. Our true goal was to make the most astonishing fact of the album irrelevant. The goal was to create a wonderful album to be fully enjoyed whether or not someone realized the vocal gifts that will certainly be studied by every acapella fan from henceforth. I respectfully believe that Naturally 7 has achieved their goal. We are proud to present this album to the public."
We're giving you, the fans, an exclusive sneak peek into their very own "super hero" cover art by the talented Michael Davis.

Hello everyone, it's been a week since I have been on here due to rewriting my 2nd book, " why it's so hard to forgive those who hurt us"-and it's been one of the greatest blessings to write again!
In contrast, I want to talk about a question that most people always say! Well, you aren't supposed a question a particular situation or person about something! I agree to this statement to a certain extent! If it comes to the point of a situation or being with a person and it doesn't feel right; you have every right to question that person's background or a situation because it could get you in trouble or put you in some type of danger!
First, I want to begin with a meeting a person! If you meet a person and you don't know anything about them at all! If you decide that you want to become their friend, or wanting to go on a date with them! I believe that you have the right to question their background, and what are they like! As you heard of the saying, " You never know these days who you're dealing with! It could be some one who is a felon, or someone who has an warrant out for their arrest, or someone who might beg you to do something that doesn't feel right, and could get you in trouble!" The facts are true!
Like me, when I decide if I want to be friends with a guy if I start to enjoy being around that would lead to being best friends, or if it's a girl that I begin to like, or she likes me! I will question their background! And also, if it doesn't feel right; I will immediately question it!
Some might say! Well Tyler, " You are being too supicious with your feeling!" I will say this," It's better being safe than being at jeopardy!
To all you people who decide you want to develop a relationship with any person, rather it's becoming to build a friendship with someone you like, or go on a date with a person that you begin to be attracted to! If a person doesn't want to make a confession that he or she is a felon,or he or she has a warrant out for their arrest, or they're throwing out strong hints that they can't get their story straight, cut their ass off!
It might hurt their feelings, but you are doing the right thing! It's not putting your life in great danger! I will repeat again, If you have a strong nudge that you feel something isn't right with a person rather it's starting a friendship, or a date; it's the best thing to question them!
True Story
I was in situation with a person, and a true life story ! Besides,"I am not going to disclose the person's name due to privacy purposes!"I met this person, and started a friendship with this individual! As getting to know the individual,the I asked the individual about their birthdate!The person told me march of 1983, and was 27 years old! I had signs that something isn't right in this situation!
I could feel it very strongly! I am saying in my head, " How can someone not know their actual age, that's odd!? If this person was born in march 1983,would this individual be 28! That doesn't make sense!" Then in addition, I asked some more questions if I felt I was on this individual's back, and the individual told me not to question it! Too, I could not escape what I was feeling, that strong gut feeling persistant nudging me and told me something wasn't right!
However later on,I came to a point to tell the individual as it was! During that evening while at work and I told the individual like it was by text! In put in simple terms, I cutt the individual ass off!! Even though the individual was angry at me because I cut him off, this individual felt very hurt by my reponse and then told me that"you need to work on yourself, you could have friendships with other people, and I try to be there for you ,may God help you!" Do you think I hand any remorse due to the fact of cutting this individual off? - " Hell no!"
To me, I don't like ( BS) from an individual who can't get their story straight at the beginning if it's going to put my life in danger or put me in some type of trouble! Even if it's a girl or guy, if they can't get their story striaght about their background, and the gut feeling persistantly nudges me that something isn't right, and hints are being thrown that they're trying to cover something up, I will cut their ass off!! Don't like it, go find someone else!
To all the viewers, if you are meeting someone in person, or a dating website, or on craiglist looking to develop a close friendship, or wanting to date so that it can lead to marriage! Always look out for your safety while trying to start a relationship with another individual, when something doesn't feel right, and you know your gut is nudging that it doesn't feel right, like you're in danger! Some of you probably say that " If you're supcious, you are being parnoid!" I say that being supicious can be your greatest blessing when it comes something that doesn't feel right! I will say this, what ever a person trying to hide from you, and you're still with them and it continues not to feel right, believe me, it will come to light soon of a later! It doesn't get pretty when it comes to light !
I would like to hear your opinions on this subject!
Until the next blog! Have a great and blessed evening!

From abstract: The importance of carefully developing the objectives for an inventory is stressed. The use of permanent plots is covered. The necessity of obtaining a representative sample, training effectively, and collecting quality data is discussed. The future direction for forest inventory is suggested.
In the first two-thirds of the book Dawson explores the nature and interrelationships between people, strategies, technology, environment, structure, and culture. She then turns her focus to organizational change and the dynamic elements that are involved in this process, such as power and influence. The target group is people who are or are likely to become managers or technical specialists.
This paper is about the supply and use of information needed for policy making in the forestry sector at national level. The focus is on developing countries. The type of information needed in the policy process and its role is discussed as well as the shortcomings in the supply and use of information.
This book is designed to develop the art of reading and understanding organizations. Firstly, it shows how many of our conventional ideas about organizations and management build upon a small number of images, especially mechanical or biological ones. Secondly, by exploring these and alternative images, the author shows how to develop new ways of thinking about organizations. Thirdly, it demonstrates how this method of analysis can be used for the management and design of organizations. And fourthly, it explores the theoretical implications raised by this kind of analysis. The book demonstrates the advantages of taking a multi-perspective approach to the study of organizations.
This reference describes and discusses in detail the method and outcome of a national biomass study undertaken in Uganda, including e.g. planning aspects, comprehensive results, sampling methods, increment monitoring and development of biomass functions.

Is Oprah Winfrey's stamp of approval on a product still relevant?
The short answer to that question is: Yes. Oprah has such a formidable presence that the empire she has created appears to have a long shelf life. She manages to have an "everyday woman" appeal to her, while also being Forbes' only African-America billionaire in the United States.
And, oh yeah, she has 23 million Twitter followers.
But – yes there is a "but" – since her daytime TV show went off the air in 2011, the "boom" that came from having her provide an endorsement to a business or vendor has slightly fizzled, media analysts agree.
Lisa Schalk, co-owner of South Tampa's Toffee to Go, says yes and no. Its signature product landed on "Oprah's Favorite Things" list at the end of 2013, and Oprah's "people" asked the company to provide statistics of how this affected business.
Of course it did. Business was up 61 percent this January over last year. "That's a great way to start the first quarter," said Schalk.
They worked 24 hours a day, seven days a week after the list came out - both online and published in O Magazine – and barely had a break through the holiday season. And while she agrees Oprah is still relevant, Schalk thinks they would have been even busier if her daytime TV show was still on-air.
"We probably would not have been able to keep up if it had been that way," Schalk said.
Some of the final stats they sent to Oprah's team include:
- 90 percent sales increase in November

Jayme Maultasch, an executive vice president and group account director for worldwide Deutsch agency in New York, said my hunch about relevancy is spot-on about why Oprah's team asked companies for their numbers.


text: Hey how ya'll doin, My names Josh but all my friends call me "Smithers" and have since high school and to be honest they have called me that for so long now that I feel strange if someone uses my real name so, you guys feel free to use that name as well lol. I'm from the eastern coal fields of Kentucky and like pretty much the rest of the guys in my family am a coal miner very proud of that. I'm also the proud owner of 3 Chevy trucks. A 2004 Silverado Z71 5.3 4x4 with a few little things done to it, and a 2000 S-10 Xtreme, and last but not least my old work truck a 1998 S-10 truck. Hopefully I can put up some pics and show ya'll how we do it in Kentucky.

Don't Let These Reviews Stop You: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by cruisersx7
Overall Member Rating
Don't Let These Reviews Stop You
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
First let me say that we have cruised RCC, Disney and now NCL. This was our 5th cruise, so we are not experts...yet...
Getting onto the ship in Miami was a breeze, we parked at an off site garage and was taken to the port via a van. We were dropped off with our luggage and a porter was waiting to take our bags. We immediately went inside the port, got in line, was at the desk within 10 minutes and on the ship we went.
We were greeted right away on the ship and was advised that we could eat lunch at the Garden Cafe' or Taste Restaurant. We decided to try Taste and it was a great first impression and the food was great.
After we finished lunch, our cabins were ready and we nervously headed in that direction. To our surprise the cabin was beautiful and comfortable. We had 2 adults and 2 kids (age 7 and 12) in More our room and we were fine. At night when they lowered the 4th bed down from the ceiling it got tight...but no big deal...we were going to sleep anyway. The bathroom set up was actually very good for us. We had plenty of room behind the curtain to get dressed, shower and use the toilet. We really liked the set up. The sink will splash if you turn the water on full force. Once we told the kids to turn it on softly, it never splashed. As far as storage. We had a LOT of luggage but had plenty of room for our stuff and the luggage fit under the bed nicely.
Only complaint about the room. Not the room but the location. We were in 13070 and the kids club was directly above us, so it sounded like they were going to come thru the ceiling until about 11pm. We did complain and they sent our room a nice bottle of wine and strawberries, but the noise did not stop.
As far as the outside space, the slides were a blast and there was never much of a wait, even on sea days. The pools are small, but they are on every ship and we never attempted to get in the pools but there was plenty of space if you desired.
Entertainment was very good and they had lots of options...note: Wildfire in the Atrium was fantastic and a blast to watch...what a fiddle player that girl is...
Food...since we were so worried about the reviews, we made dinner reservations for every night. However, after our first meal in Taste, we cancelled them all except Le Bistro which we went for a special occasion and the food was amazing. We ate at Manhattan and Taste all the other nights and the food was great and so was the service. They had several options that stayed the same and new stuff every night. Unless you want to pad your bill or have something to celebrate, you do not have to pay for dinner.
Sorry for being so long...but know that this a great cruise and the ship is beautiful and the service was great. I wish we were still there and would go again in a minute....
Have fun cruising. There is no such thing as a bad cruise...and this one is awesome !!! Less

Charting unprecedented territory in order to achieve this feat, the team has come from rock bottom of the league system in 2011 to Premier League status in only two seasons.

Sweet off to winning ways again
Continuing his stellar form from 2012, LGC's General Manager, Nigel Sweet, has been crowned the 2013 Algarvian International amateur champion following a superb few days' golf at Pinheiros Altos Golf Club in Portugal.
As the brainchild of John Waters and the head pro at Pinheiros Altos, the 54-hole tournament is essentially a warm-up event for the PGA Seniors Tour School which traditionally takes place in The Algarve at the end of January. The event – which is open to amateurs over the age of 45 and professionals over the age of 48 – featured an impressive entry list of 34 amateurs and 60 professionals, 12 of whom already possess full Seniors Tour cards including Andrew Murray (who commentates on Sky Sports), Paul Wesselingh, Gordon Brand, Nick Mitchell and Stephen Mcallister to name a few.
Unperturbed by the challenge of pitching his skills against familiar names from the tour, Sweet carded scores of 69, 76 and 70 for a one-under total of 215 – a score good enough to claim the amateur title and third place overall behind two professionals, Kai Smith (-3) and Paul Wesselingh (-2). Impressive stuff from Mr Sweet, a man who continues to impress with golf of the very highest quality – we wish Nigel well for the coming season.
Joe Feather on tour in Asia
As reported in News in Brief last month, LGC's very own aspiring tour pro, Joe Feather, is currently contesting the Asian Development Tour in the Far East. After qualifying for the first event, Joe narrowly missed the cut by a solitary shot at the PGM CCM Rahman Putra Masters in Malaysia – an excellent effort indeed.
Follow Joe's progress by clicking here or keep up to date with his personal musings by following his Twitter feed @joefeathergolf.
Last chance for new Academy group sessions
This week represents that last chance to sign up for our new Academy group lessons, designed specifically for those seeking to learn the basics of golf. 'Discover Golf' is the ideal starter package – priced at just £39 for three one-hour lessons starting on Saturday 9th February at 10am (same time weekly thereafter), it represents unrivalled value. And for the would-be golfer wishing to pursue a slightly more thorough introduction, our 'Learn & Play' course consists of six one-hour group lessons starting Thursday 7th February at 6.30pm (again, sessions run at the same time each week thereafter) and costs just £69.
So don't delay – invite your friend, family member or colleague to 'get into golf' right now – before the start of the season! Registrations for these programmes can be made right up until the start of the first session – call the Pro Shop on 0113 288 6000 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to book!

Pan-democrats Albert Ho Chun-yan and "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung could face a bill of at least HK$ 2.1 million after losing their case in the top court challenging Leung Chun-ying's victory in the chief executive election, the South China Morning Post learnt.
It was not known how the costs would be borne, but the Court of Final Appeal said in its ruling on Tuesday that both sides could file submissions on costs within 14 days of the judgment.

Speaking and Appearance Requests
University of Michigan Athletics receives numerous speaking and appearance requests on behalf of our coaches, student-athletes and athletic department staff. The NCAA and U-M Athletics strictly regulate the manner in which coaches, student-athletes and staff may participate in these activities.
In an effort to best process your request and to assist us with the internal approval process, please submit your appearance or speaking request using the link below. Requests must comply with the guidelines listed below. Please understand that submission of a request, even if all guidelines are met, does not guarantee that the request will be fulfilled.
Speaking and Appearance Guidelines
- U-M Athletics staff, coaches and student-athletes are prohibited from raising funds to benefit any entity that serves prospect-aged individuals (grade 9 -12, or 7 - 12 in Men's Basketball), such as high schools, high school scholarship funds or booster clubs, club sports teams for high school students, specific high school students, etc.
- U-M Athletics staff, coaches and student-athletes are prohibited from making a recruiting presentation to or direct contact with any prospective student-athlete (or a prospective student-athlete's parents or legal guardians) in attendance at an event.
- A student-athlete may not attend functions which cause them to miss classes, study sessions, summer school, practices, competitions, medical appointments or other institutional obligations. It is extremely difficult for student-athletes to fulfill requests during their official playing season.
- Requests to utilize a student-athlete's name or image to promote the commercial sponsors or supporters of a charitable, educational or nonprofit agency and/or requests that are based solely upon their status or visibility as a student-athlete will not be approved.
- If the event will have commercial sponsors, you must provide any promotional materials that will be used (i.e. flyers, advertisements), as student-athletes may neither endorse nor promote commercial products or retail businesses.
- With any appearance or activity, student-athletes may not accept benefits in excess of actual and necessary expenses to attend the function.
- All student-athlete, coach or athletic staff speaking and appearance requests must be submitted through the online request system and must be received at least six (6) weeks prior to the date of your event.
- Online requests will first be routed to the appropriate Athletics staff for approval. If approved, it will go to Compliance for sign-off. If the request meets NCAA guidelines, a member of the Athletics staff will contact the organization to arrange details and schedule the appearance or speaking engagement.
- Due to limited calendar availability and logistical challenges, priority will be given to organizations within the state of Michigan
- Speaking and appearance requests must be accompanied by documentation of the event via a flyer, website information, etc.
- Due to the time constraints on Coaches' and student-athletes' schedules, requests with open ended dates will not be considered.

Signature blocks at the end of your email are a great way to market yourself, your art, and your Web site. Well done, they encourage people to click through directly to your Web site and see your work. Some, however, have gotten out of control. They list minor accomplishments, multiple Web sites, multiple emails and phone numbers, and everything from quotes to things they are selling.
Ellen Lindner wrote recently with this question: "How many lines of information should be included as part of an email signature? (I just got one with TEN lines! I'm thinking 2-3 would be better.)"
Of course, there are no hard and fast rules about signature blocks, but this long one obviously bothered Ellen. It seems like the trend is toward shorter ones.
My signature block is:
Alyson B. Stanfield
Stanfield Art Associates, Inc.
PO Box 988
Golden, CO 80402
That's seven lines.
Every once and a while, I add a special promotion below it, but I haven't done that in a while. It might not hurt to also put a one-line blurb about what I do–"self-promotion tools for artists" or some such thing in there. What do you think?
I always use my address to adhere to the CAN SPAM laws in the U.S., which require a physical address. And while I have four Web sites and a blog, they aren't all in my signature block. Just the one that I use for branding my business (ArtBizCoach.com).
I think it is very important to put your full name, location, and Web site in your signature. Remember: You're marketing your art and promoting yourself and an artist. And don't forget to put the http:// in front of your URL, which makes sure the link is hot for most people.
I get about 200 emails a day and about 20-40 a week from artists who want something from me. If they don't tell me who they are and at least represent themselves as professional, I won't waste my time with them. Besides, you never know when someone is going to respond to your email with, "Des Moines? Cool! I was there last year and absolutely loved the Des Moines Art Center." It's an easy way to connect to people.
I found this article from Wikpedia, which cites the so-called McQuary Limit (4 lines of no more than 80 columns each). Does that mean that if you go only, say, 30 columns, that you can do more lines?????

An Indian man returning from a visit to a fortune teller, crashed his motorcycle and died on his way home.
Fulah Johnson, 30, died from head injuries sustained from a motorcycle crash on his way home to Chennai, according to Austrian Times. He reportedly traveled 60 miles to meet the fortune teller to discuss his future marriage plans.
Johnson, was riding the motorcycle with two other friends when the crash occurred. He was taken to Government General Hospital where he was pronounced dead Wednesday morning, reports Times of India.
"He had been to consult an astrologer about his future marriage plans" said Inspector Thirunavukarasu, who was assigned to investigate the death. "Sadly he didn't realise how short that future would be."
