a person who is able to dress in a fashionable way even though they do not have a lot of money to spend on clothes
'Modern takes on glamour are about deceiving the eye while preserving the purse, demanding all the imaginative skills of today's artful recessionistas. In short, getting the high-fashion look at a low-down price …'Irish Times29th September 2008
It's a real problem. You want to look glamorous for an office do, but every bit of party gear in your wardrobe has been seen by your colleagues at least once before. Unfortunately, a trip to your favourite boutique doesn't seem a realistic option either, because the credit crunch is nibbling away at your festive budget. The solution? – join the ranks of the recessionistas.
recessionista is a popular new term for a person who manages to dress stylishly on a tight budget
Recessionista is a popular new term for a person who manages to dress stylishly on a tight budget, and it gained currency rapidly in the pre-Christmas weeks of 2008, when people's disposable income was seriously curtailed by the knock-on effects of an ailing economy. 'Shoppers' guilt' is worse than ever in the current financial climate – with people losing their jobs left, right and centre, there seems to be no way of justifying frivolities such as clothes, shoes and handbags. So, instead of satisfying her fashion needs with a trip to the local shopping mall, the recessionista adopts a different strategy to replenishing her wardrobe. Typical activities include swapping clothes with friends, hiring rather than buying, or trawling the charity shops to find designer garments at a fraction of the high street price.
Though the stereotypical recessionista is female, the term does not apply exclusively to women – a male, budget-conscious, style maven can also be described as a recessionista. Nor is current usage restricted to clothes purchases, recessionistas might also track down the most budget-friendly ways to doing hair and make-up, adding stylish décor and furnishings to their homes, purchasing gifts, dining out and entertaining. If you'd like some tips on how to be an effective recessionista, check out this dedicated blog of the same name.
Recessionista is a clever blend of recession and the noun fashionista, which was coined in the early nineties to describe a person who wears fashionable clothing or works in the fashion industry. The suffix -ista, taken over from Spanish, has entered productive usage in English in recent years to describe a follower or devotee of someone or something. It regularly pops up in political commentary for example Blairista, Bushista, Palinista.
A related neologism in this context is the expression recession chic, coined in the early nineties to refer to the concept of style and elegance within the constraints of a tight budget. The recessionista then, is the personification of recession chic, emerging some years later against a backdrop of economic downturn in 2008.
Also at the interplay of fashion and finance, though with an ecological twist, is the related expression slow fashion. Taking inspiration from the concept of slow food, advocates of slow fashion invest in pieces of clothing which will last a long time, and are often made from locally-sourced or fairly-traded materials.

ICANN's new proposal will endanger domain owners and impact those who come from marginalised communities
APC's research shows that the reality of online abuse should be a serious concern for all those working on internet governance, development and access. Initiatives like ICANN's new Domain Registration proposal are steps in the opposite direction.
Experts representing non-commercial interests weigh in on ICANN and human rights
Earlier this year, the Council of Europe released a report on the application of human rights to ICANN. The Non-commercial stakeholder group (NCSG) and endorsing organisations, of which APC is one, have submitted comments on that report to raise concerns about the role of governments, ICANN's legal status and the regulation of hate speech. Follow the link to read the NCSG report.
Call for applications to participate in the First African School on Internet Governance in Durban
The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and the NEPAD Planning and Coordinating Agency–e-Africa Programme are pleased to announce the call for applications for the first African School on Internet Governance to be held in Durban, South Africa, from 10-12 July 2013.
ICANN 46 in Beijing
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) self-described role is:
To reach another person on the Internet you have to type an address into your computer — a name or a number. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN coordinates these unique identifiers across the world.
APC calls on ICANN to prioritise human rights when deciding on new top-level domain names
The Association for Progressive Communications joins the Non Commercial Users Constituency in calling upon ICANN to consider human rights when deciding on new generic top-level domain names.
Civil society involvement in ICANN: Strengthening future civil society influence in ICANN policymaking
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was established in 1998 by the USA to run the root-servers that control the internet among other things. This new paper investigates ICANN's processes, the role of civil society within decision-making, and highlights lessons learned from this multi-stakeholderism experiment as well as recommendations for future similar initiatives.
Comments to ICANN on Discussion Draft: Affirmative Reviews
ICANN and the US government: The end of the affair?
After eleven years, a direct relationship of accountability between the US government and the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is now over. This is a step forward although civil society commentators are clear that this does not mean that ICANN is entirely independent of US control.
Comments to ICANN: Proposed bylaw changes to improve accountability
The Board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) opened new accountability measures for public comments. Willie Currie, APC's policy manager, said in his submission that "The community still does not have the power to dismiss the Board [which] is a signifier of a lack of accountability and democratic procedure that cannot be cured by the current proposed amendments."

12 Social Media Tips for Successful Business Blogging
According to successful bloggers, you should be spending around 20% of your time creating quality content for your blog. The other 80% should be spent promoting your blog content online.
You know that the key to your blogging success is providing your readers with content that brings value to their lives. This is why you spend so much time pouring your heart and soul into your posts. Yet, if you don't spend quality time promoting your content, very few people will ever know it exists.
12 Ways Social Media Helps Create a Successful Blog
My goal with this post is to help you facilitate an effective blog promoting process. So, we're providing the 15 tips below to help expand your content's reach among your target audience.
Interact with Other Bloggers
Many people don't know this, but blogs are also included within social media. Most of the greatest influencers within social media networks are actually bloggers. Use the following tips to help you increase your blogging audience:
- Link to Influential Blogs and Bloggers – Savvy bloggers put a lot of time and effort into creating their posts. So, it's only fitting that they'd want to be recognized for their achievements. Mention relevant, valuable blog posts you come across within your own posts. Also, link to them in order to create backlinks to these influential bloggers.
- Use Videos to Communicate with Users – This can be done on many different platforms, including the very popular and famous YouTube. Be sure to add links to your related blog content when posting videos online.
- Leave Valuable Comments on Related Blogs – When you leave thought-provoking comments on the blogs of others, you help to establish yourself as a leader within your industry. You also gain the attention of the blogger, who just may visit your blog in return and interact with you there as well. Then, share posts you comment on within your own social media networks.
- Participate in Guest Blogging – Writing guest blog posts on related, popular blogs has multiple benefits. For one, you increase brand awareness by including a tidbit about your brand within the guest post. You also increase your blog's SEO rankings by adding a link to your blog, which creates a valuable backlink for you.
- Allow Guest Blog Posts on Your Own Blog – It's a wise idea to allow other bloggers to do guest posting on your business blog. Why? Most guest bloggers share their content within their social media networks. This increases the visibility of that particular blog post, as well as your blog itself.
Encourage Social Media Sharing
You should make it as simple as possible for your readers to share your blog content within their own social networks. Even if the person sharing doesn't actually read your post, their social media followers will.
- Include Social Media Sharing Icons on Every Post – If you don't include simple-click sharing icons, users will have to cut-and-paste the post's URL to share it online. Most won't take the time to do this. So, make it simple with one-click sharing buttons.
- Encourage Tweeting with "Click-to-Tweet" – This makes it very simple for Twitter users to share your blog content quickly. All they have to do is simply "click" to tweet about your post.
- Create and Post Images That Are "Pinable" – Pinterest is quickly becoming a very popular social network for people who enjoy visuals. Include a "pin" button next to your interesting graphic images to encourage sharing on Pinterest.
Share Your Blog Posts within Your Own Social Networks
Every time you publish a blog post, it's vital to your blog's success that you share it on various social media networks.
- Claim Google Authorship of Your Blog Content – Establish your Google+ account, adding relevant information to your G+ profile. Now, you can share any content you publish online within the Google+ community. You'll also increase your online authority as Google will give you authorship credit for all of your content across the board.
- Expand Twitter Shareability with Hashtags – When sharing your content on Twitter, be sure to include any relevant, popular hashtags.
- Create Pinboards for Promoting Your Posts – People love visuals. So, be sure to include creative images, videos and infographics in your Pinterest Pinboards, linking them to relevant blog posts.
- Use LinkedIn Groups for Delivering Targeted Content – Join groups within the LinkedIn social network that are relevant to your blog's niche. Share relevant, informative blog posts within those groups.

General Electric is aiming to expand its reach into Silicon Valley as it realizes the area's prominent role in computer software and how it can greatly expand the company's productivity.
CEO of GE and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen took to the stage in a recent San Francisco event at Dogpatch Studio to discuss future trends in the tech industry. The half-day conference was moderated by former Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson.
While the theme of the event was called "Industrial Internet," the conference dealt with GE's craving to establish themselves in Silicon Valley and explore the many ways in which the very best of software engineers can help its company in terms of productivity, efficiency and ways to reduce its costs.
In the past few months, GE has made vast strides in developing their new Global Software headquarters in San Ramon, with plans to double the number of software engineers in the next year.
The talk also examined the national conglomerate's yearning to engage the Silicon Valley startup community. One way it explained to do so is to hire expert engineers to work on the key issues that currently plague the company's system. The other obstacle for the company is to have these same engineers and startups to help GE understand what it "doesn't know" in the industry.
A team of GE employees at the San Ramon office have already started engaging local startups to help them in their process of understanding new trends in the market today. In fact, they could learn from other conglomerate companies like themselves, including IBM, which is pointing some of its recent success to regular meetings with VCs in an effort to brainstorm ideas on the type of technologies it could see in the near future.
Still, GE is far from where it needs to be to engage the Silicon Valley innovation engine and understanding the various nuances holding the company back. But it is taking the right steps in luring some of Silicon Valley's best startups and software engineers, especially with more community talks — like this one – to help expand their name in the area.

It is understood the biggest float of the year will likely be 1.5 to 2 times oversubscribed around $2.10 to $2.15 a share – the range Nine shares are expected to list at – compared with the indicative range of $2.05 to $2.35.
It is believed Nine has received offers for as much as $50 million worth of stock from a handful of major local and offshore institutions.
The maximum subscription is $697 million.
The Nine investor book-build to determine the final price will open on Tuesday and close on Wednesday, before the stock commences trading on Friday on a conditional and deferred settlement basis.
The book-build will also determine how much of the share register will be occupied by local institutions as opposed to offshore investors, with the retail offer committed at $100 million.
Nine chief financial officer
The commercial free-to-air television, digital and ticketing company's existing owners will retain significant stock in the company.
Major shareholders, hedge funds Apollo Global Management and Oaktree Capital will hold about 36 per cent of Nine until at least the company's first annual result after it is listed, subject to conditions.
The majority of the smaller shareholders, which will represent about 30 per cent of the listed entity, will sell down an average of 50 per cent of their holdings.
Nine chief executive
He will have the opportunity to double his base salary of $2 million in short-term incentives.
Airlie Funds Management portfolio manager John Sevior was asked on Financial Review Sunday program if he thought it was positive that Mr Gyngell had "skin in the game".
"That's one of the critical factors to any company performing I think," he said.
Mr Sevior referred to some of the challenges facing the free-to-air industry as people increasingly source content from online alternatives.
"Nine has obviously got some challenges at the margin but it's a very well run business and I think there's a little bit of fat built into the prospectus forecasts," he said. He declined to say whether Airlie would buy shares in the Nine float. Fund managers believe Nine can grow its revenue share in Adelaide and in Perth, where it bought TV stations from

A look at Notre Dame, Navy
Originally Published: September 15, 2004By Adam Rittenberg | Special To ESPN.com
A good boxer is a patient boxer. He jabs, bobs, weaves and waits for the perfect moment to strike.
Led by former Golden Gloves champ-turned SS Tom Zbikowski, Notre Dame's defense is simply battering its opponents with forced fumbles and interceptions. In the first three games the Fighting Irish have exploited almost every opportunity, forcing 11 turnovers.
That doggedness has paid dividends on the scoreboard, and nearly half of Notre Dame's scoring production (38 points) has resulted from turnovers. Last Saturday the Irish overcame special teams breakdowns and unsteady periods of offense to beat Michigan State 31-24 in East Lansing.

Continuation from the first part.
I stared at the paper with pity. I pitied myself for being so fragile and weak. I wished I were like the others. Life would have had a different flavor and the wind would have carried a different scent.
But at that moment,my soul was in that letter. I grew weary, lifeless in beauty like a gargoyle amidst the lilac sea. But God would not create a weak and fragile beast for no purpose. I had a purpose; I had become to believe that I am a cloud that hovers above humankind, away from the troubles of life, always seeing the earth as a crafted piece of heaven. And when I felt that someone had been suffering below, I pour down my rain so that there would be new life, a new hope, a reason to move on.
But clouds deal with the thunder and the lightning.
I held the letter not knowing what to make of it. I tore a small piece of the paper; do not deprive me of your melody – I folded it as neatly as the little piece would allow, and tied it to a small pebble with a piece of cloth, and threw it to her balcony. The paper landed by the leg of the piano. I felt content, satisfied; she would muse me with her reaction the next day.
That night, fate had made its atrocious decision, a rite which it performs on every man's soul. The rite of planting the seeds of compassion and affection, doomed seeds they are. Mine have been planted before, the weed felt no remorse.
The threads of destiny drew me to the balcony in an attempt with delicate vehemence to weave my soul into another. I sat at the balcony and looked down at the piano such painful melancholy. The letter still lay by the piano. She had not read it. Or had she ignored it? Could it be that she had not seen it? Such thoughts bound themselves to my mind. I could not escape them, they grew inside, multiplied, and I felt that death was more honourable at that hour. I regressed to my bed.
I witnessed a dream, my with the absence of a companion and no piano to awake me. Life was as it was. The street below spoke of its tales from the early morning and beckoned me to be part of its life. I strolled the streets, visited the shops, and wandered without aim but without fear. My sense of security returned, but an element was missing. My dream ended abruptly.
As I arose from the bed, notes of a piano sang in my ears. She had read the letter, understood its contents, and kept an un-pledged promise. I overflowed with energy, I ran towards the balcony, and looked upon her side.
There she sat, playing the piano. The letter was not where it was once; it sat upon the piano. Her notes forced a new blood through my heart, one that I have so longed for. I did not want to miss one note, and I cursed myself to have been asleep while she played.
The pigeons and the birds danced to her melody as they soared in the cotton morning sky. The road below had no more stories to tell. The people all seemed happy, their voices muted in the air. The frightening details of life have disappeared. I was blind to all the greyness of the city, I was falling in love.
Her notes ceased. The birds drifted away into a warm draft, leaving both of us, two balconies apart, separated by silent air. She did not make the slightest movement. She appeared frozen as if her mind was suddenly possessed by a strong thought. The chatter of the people below was inaudible to me. My ears heard nothing but my heart pounding through the silent sound of thoughts.
She reached for the letter, and opened it with slight reluctance. What could she have been thinking at that moment? I watched, mesmerized, inspecting every possible movement she made that manifested the slightest emotion.
She neatly folded the paper, and placed it on a table that was to the right of the piano. A small lamp, another piece of paper and a pen lay on the table as well. She returned to the piano, seated herself, stood up and she returned to her chambers.

We create software and services that enable payers, employers and at-risk providers to organize and finance healthcare around a patient's episode of care.
What We Do
The Case for Bundled Payments
with Michael Porter
100% of the patients we serve are treated like family.
Episodes of Care
Bundled Payments—in which a fixed price is paid for a wide range of healthcare services over a specified period of time known as an 'episode of care'—represent one of the primary strategies being used to transition away from fee for service approaches to paying for healthcare services.
We bring together over 2,200 healthcare facilities nationwide.
Who We Serve
Our focus is always to make healthcare easier for physicians to deliver, more responsive to patient needs, and less expensive for everyone.
Enrolled beneficiaries in the insurance programs we serve.
Hospitals, physician groups, skilled nursing facilities and home health agencies.
Government agencies, managed care organizations and self funded employers.

School building being shut down, school to move
LENOIR COUNTY - An old, historic school building is closing down. Friday was the last day for students and teachers at Sampson Alternative School in Lenoir County. The school is located on Tower Hill Road in Kinston.
The school has been there since the 1940s, but school officials say its condition is deteriorating and is too costly to repair. The walls and ceilings have a lot of water damage and even some spots of mold. The board of education decided to close the school back in October.
Friday, people at the school were packing up the last of the school's stuff and putting it all into a moving truck. The school will move to a new building at the Kennedy Home in Kinston. Students will start classes there on Monday.
Jimmy McPhaul lives in the neighborhood next to the school and attended the school in the 1970s. He says the school is a big part of the community.
"It's the type of school that keeps the people off the street and in the neighborhood and puts them in the school and teaches them what they're supposed to know," said McPhaul.
About 50 students attend the Sampson Alternative School.

Dish Network Scammers: Keep sending "past due balance" to multiple collections agencies after payment! http://www.dish.com/ Internet
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I was unfortunate enough to have a contract with Dish Network, about seven years ago. I sent back all of "their" stuff (including the modem that I actually paid for, because even though I had record of my payment and ownership, they claimed it was never purchased and threatened me with lawsuits).
Now, seven years after I cancelled services... I have recieved my SECOND "collections notice" from a second collections agency that they sold the exact same "debt owed" to. Collections agencies purchase a debt owed from companies and then harass people nearly to the point of illegality to get their money back. I have never recieved a SINGLE phone call/letter from Dish about this supposed debt, so why are they selling my debt to collections agencies? If they had bothered to contact me themselves and explain what debt was owed, I would have paid it. So... Why? Because they don't want to answer my questions.
I already paid one collections agency almost a year ago, because after multiple moves in the last seven years, I could not find my proof of payment in full from Dish after cancelling their services (I don't remember them ever actually sending it to me in the first place).
Unfortunately for you, Dish... Not gonna happen again. I DO have proof that I paid this debt to the collections agency last year. You will not get away with selling a debt I don't owe to multiple collections agencies so you can get more money by forcing me to pay a debt I don't even owe multiple times. It is not my responsibility as a FORMER subscriber to pull you out of your near-bankruptcy hole. I hope you crash and burn. Stop trying to take food out of my kids mouths because your CEO's want another 5-star vacation. My apologies to the second collections agency, as they have purchased a debt already paid unknowingly and it's not likely Dish will actually do the right thing and repay you... But I don't owe you sh*.
In short: Fu* you, Dish.

Lyotard: Philosophy, Politics and the Sublime
€ 49,49

BeschreibungJean-Francois Lyotard, the highly influential twentieth-century philosopher of the postmodern, has had an enormous impact on the course and commitment of contemporary philosophy. "Lyotard: Philosophy, Politics, and the Sublime" is a thoroughgoing reassessment of his extraordinary legacy and contribution to contemporary cultural, political, ethical, and aesthetic theory, and an indispenable guide to key issues in his philosophy. Fifteen distinguished scholars have contributed new, original essays examining the main themes in Lyotard's work with a focus on the special intersections of philosophy, psychoanalysis, politics, and the experience of the sublime in art. The volume includes an up-to-date bibliography of works by and about Lyotard, previously unpublished photographs of Lyotard, and an incisive essay by Lyotard himself on the philosophical significance of Freud's case of Emma.

I just wonder how many people actually use the button? I have never used it and given how valuable real estate space is on Google would this be better served by another option?
So how about the 'Cheap' button – so offering the cheapest option on whatever you searched for?
Or how about 'Lonely' for those online dating moments?
Or what about 'Happy' – so only good News results are featured?

When Sarah Heal started out in business nearly a decade ago, she really did write the book.
Working with partner in life and business Grant Margison on the publication Flapping to Flying: Getting value not grief from information technology meant spending a lot of time "talking and figuring things out", says Heal.
"That was, I suppose, the intellectual property that formed the basis for the business, so I think in that respect we are a little bit unusual in that we really went through a process where we looked at our experiences, talked to other people, we found out about their experiences, then we wrote that all up and that became the platform from which we launched."
That business is Information Leadership, a Christchurch-based company specialising in helping organisations understand and get control of information.
"We help them know what they've got, we help them organise it well and we help them deliver it to their staff whenever, wherever it's needed," says Heal, 42.
Information Leadership combines the skills of its two founders: Heal's background in archives management and Margison's former work in senior management overseeing technology functions.
On day one it had two clients, Otorohanga District Council and North Shore City Council, but it has now worked for more than 150 organisations and has a turnover of around $5 million.
Information Leadership goes up against some of the technology heavy hitters - firms with hundreds, if not thousands on the payroll, but Heal says there is no aspiration to build the business to that size.
She says successful IT projects are often about having competent, well-trained people inside a client's organisation, and by freely sharing knowledge with their clients they can not only boost the success of the project but also make up for the firm's lack of size. "The stuff that we do isn't always particularly sexy but we think there is a need for it and we think that one of the ways we can contribute is by sharing our insights and sharing our ideas."
Making customers self-sufficient is one the features that sets Information Leadership apart from its competitors, says Heal.
It is also open to employing people from a range of backgrounds alongside those with specialist records-management and technology-based skills.
This has seen a number of engineers, a lawyer and a probation officer join the ranks at Information Leadership.
"There are certain areas where you do have specialists," says Heal.
"Having said that, a whole lot of what makes implementation successful is actually understanding what users want and being able to describe that well, being able to bridge that gap between technical people and business users, being able to deliver change management programmes, being able to train and support people and I suppose what we've found in those particular areas is that people who've had some sort of a background in soft skills, some sort of a background where they've been working with people, like our probation officer for example, they're actually unbelievable at finding out what users need and then articulating that clearly because they've had that training in listening to people."
They've found former engineers in particular are good at unpicking users' needs and using technology to build solutions that make sense.
A turning point for the business came in late 2006 when three separate clients approached Heal and Margison asking for help with Microsoft SharePoint, a web-based content and document management system.
At that point Information Leadership was consulting across a range of technology solutions for information management, records management and knowledge management, but not SharePoint.
Even though it had no SharePoint expertise, the organisations trusted the advice they got from Information Leadership and in effect provided the seed money to develop a practice in that area.
SharePoint work now makes up 75 per cent of the business, boosted 18 months ago by the arrival of former Microsoft consultant and international SharePoint expert Ian Morrish, which has seen the Wellington office where he is based grow to 10 staff.
The firm is now travelling the country to introduce clients to a new version of its SharePoint-based records management software, designed to help public organisations comply with the Public Records Act, legislation that covers the creation, maintenance and disposal of information in public organisations.
Heal says they've had inquiries from Australia but have no ambition to cross the Ditch, preferring to focus on customers here.
"I would see us growing to match that demand. Where there are great customers and projects we'll grow and build and deliver on those."
After nearly 10 years in her "family company" Heal says she couldn't imagine stopping and doing something different.
"It sounds corny but it really, really helps if you love what you do and so being passionate about what we can deliver for people, being genuinely interested in the kind of problems our customers have, that's been huge."

Poet Ilya Kaminsky Appointed Director of Harriet Monroe Poetry Institute
CHICAGO — The Poetry Foundation, publisher of Poetry magazine, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ilya Kaminsky as the new director of the Harriet Monroe Poetry Institute (HMPI). Kaminsky—a poet, critic, and translator—will begin his tenure on January 1, 2011. He succeeds inaugural HMPI director Katharine Coles.
Born in Odessa, in the former USSR, Kaminsky came to the United States in 1993. He is the author of Dancing in Odessa (Tupelo Press, 2004) and currently teaches poetry and comparative literature at San Diego State University, where he will continue to serve as director of the MFA Program in Poetry and remain a tenured associate professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature.
The HMPI was created in 2008 to provide a space in which fresh thinking about poetry, in both its intellectual and its practical needs, could flourish. HMPI is an independent forum, free of any allegiance other than to the best ideas. The Institute exists to identify and support solutions to benefit the art form in general. By convening poets, scholars, publishers, educators, and other thinkers from inside and outside the poetry world, it addresses issues of importance to the art form of poetry.
Under Coles's leadership, the HMPI released the report Poetry and New Media, which brought together poets and publishers, as well as experts in law, technology, and media, to examine access to poetry. In January 2011, the Institute will issue the Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Poetry, a project in partnership with the Center for Social Media at American University that codifies recommendations for fair use of copyrighted poems in specific instances. In addition, in spring 2011, the HMPI will publish an anthology of essays on community-based poetry programs; contributors to the volume include Elizabeth Alexander, Robert Hass, and Dana Gioia, among others.
As the director of the HMPI, Kaminsky will be responsible for a full range of Institute activities, including collaborating with members of the poetry community and innovators from outside the community; commissioning and overseeing original research to support issues related to poetry; seeking a vigorous presence for poetry in our culture; and promoting partnerships, programs, and projects that will benefit poetry as an art form.
"The Institute is a protean organization—its projects arise from the interests and needs of the poetry community, and each project takes on its own necessary shape," said Coles. "Ilya is the perfect person to carry this work into its second phase: he's visionary, energetic, and adaptable. I'm delighted to be handing him the reins." Added Poetry Foundation president John Barr: "We can't wait to see in what new directions Ilya will take the Institute. He is the ideal appointment."
Kaminsky was featured in the March 2010 issue of Poetry in a discussion on poetry translation with critic Adam Kirsch. The text is available at www.poetryfoundation.org/journal/article.html?id=238872
Ilya Kaminsky and Katharine Coles are available for interviews. Please call 312.799.8016 to schedule a time to speak with them.

Avram Grant, though bulkier and more hangdog-looking, yesterday stepped into the shoes of Jose Mourinho in one respect, attacking the referee Mike Dean. The 52-year-old Israeli, whose coaching credentials from Israel are, Chelsea hope to prove, equivalent to the Uefa pro-licence qualification demanded by the Premier League, railed at the injustice of three incidents which he said "affected the result" in the 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford that marked the start of his career as Chelsea manager.
"There were so many things - the sending-off, the fact that they signalled two minutes of extra-time and scored after three, and the penalty," he said, most angered by the controversial dismissal of Mikel John Obi that reduced his visitors to 10 men for almost an hour - a decision Chelsea have appealed against to the Football Association - and Louis Saha's penalty-winning dive. "Maybe I'm a bit naive. But for me these were decisions that affected the result. In the first half there were 10 minutes of 10 against 11, and in the second half they scored a penalty that was not."
But Sir Alex Ferguson was clearly delighted with a result that puts Manchester United second in the Premier League. After four successive 1-0 wins, he considered this "as good as we've played all season". He had some sympathy for Grant's view of the refereeing performance, but the champions' manager considered his own team to have been equally wronged.
In the early exchanges Patrice Evra was taken down in the Chelsea penalty area by Joe Cole, whose irrational tackling has carried on from the last England game, in which he was booked. Here he was cautioned again, and fortunate not to be dismissed, when he took out Cristiano Ronaldo with no thought for the ball.
"It was a clear penalty kick and then the game changes with the sending-off - that was a bit harsh but the intent was there," Ferguson said. "He could have hurt the boy but a lot of referees would have let that go.
"But Joe Cole's was the kind of tackle that can put players out of the game for a long time. He [Ronaldo] keeps getting kicked on the achilles and it should have been a red card but he got a yellow. He did not, simply because the player had been sent off. The second penalty was also a bit harsh, but the referee balanced it out."

Lovelorn researcher Theresa (Wright Penn), a columnist's assistant on a Chicago newspaper, thinks she's found the man of her dreams when she reads a letter washed up on the shore, addressed to a Catherine and written in such heart-melting prose she instantly wants to track down the author. Thanks to her paper's best efforts, she homes in on the Carolina coast, where a fishing town delivers up its secret - Costner, softly-spoken shipwright and widower. Wright Penn ploughs a furrow of vulnerable earnestness, Costner delivers another quiet romantic, the screenplay tries to keep their relationship grounded in mutual need and lends it a modicum of credibility. It plays, up to a point. Best try and ignore Gabriel Yared's melisma of mush on the soundtrack, and enjoy Newman's masterclass in scene stealing. Clipped and wise, the old boy does ornery to perfection.

Riddle: Who's the daughter of my mom and dad, who is not my sister?
5 Answers | Add Yours
The answer is "the first-person narrator herself" (the narrator, a female, is "the daughter of my mom and dad"). This is a variation on "Brothers and sisters I have none, but this man's father is my father's son." The reason the riddle is under "Literature" is because, at its root, it reveals certain assumptions a reader makes about a narrator: gender (male), person, etc. From 19th century novels, readers got used to a third-person reliable narrator, an omniscient narrator. In modern times authors began experimenting with multiple narrators, unreliable narrators, and characters revealed by what they knew or did not know about the "plot." In other words, this riddle exposes those blind spots in a reader's understanding of a narrative.
It's you because a daughter is obviously a girl and if shes not you sister it Has to be you.

I gave the a**hole some info and the next day Roger Price called me and basically told me the same thing. I paid them $2195 and a guarantee that if they didn't get me approved I would get my money back. Well guess what...I lost my home and no money returned. I also found out that they have three addresses and they are located in Norwalk, Ca and not South Gate. Do not do business with this fraudelent company. They are a bunch of crooks and thieves.

Date of Stay: November, 2012
We stayed here in 2011 around Christmas and immediately made reservations to return this year. The lights they put up are awesome, sites are spotless and the bathrooms are wonderful, spacious and clean. One of the hosts also worked at the gift shop and she was wonderful and helped the kids make an ornament. We come from New York every year heading to Tampa and this is now a favorite stop on our list. All of the staff is wonderful and we highly recommend this park.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Nice park, lots of trees and except for road noise, it was OK. We only stayed here for a couple days before heading to Florida but we would stop again. Valdosta and the base are nearby. Wi-Fi was OK.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
We have stayed here before and usually try to stay here for a week when we visit Florida. Park is great, with helpful staff and nice sites. This is a regular stop for us.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
We stayed here on the way to South Florida. Be very careful entering the park if you have a big coach, because of the entrance. Sites are level and relatively clean, bathrooms are nasty. We camped in the back part, and except for road noise, it was pretty quiet. No cable, and Wi-Fi was poor or non existent. Lots of long term residents with old units. Park managers? were friendly, but a little strange. I can see why they call it "in and out". Not bad for an overnight stop but would not recommend it for a snowbird destination. Rate was different than what we told, and our friends were charged a different rate than we were. We were told it was due to a trainee, but they didn't want to adjust it. All in all, a decent place to stop for a day or so, handy to all restaurants. Italian place down the street was excellent.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
We rate this campground as POOR. We stayed here (or tried to) because it was close to Moody AFB base and another officer recommended it who was staying there. Although the campground is nice, the owners are positively disgusting. I arrived in our coach first because my husband was working late and would arrive in the car. They seemed wonderful and very friendly at first to me upon check in, but apparently racism is alive and well in Hahira. We were told point blank they didn't tolerate our "kind" (My husband is black, and I am American Indian) after my husband arrived. Even though we had paid for 3 nights, they told us there was a mistake on our reservations and there was no lots available, even tho 4 sites were available. We demanded a refund, a confrontation ensued and the local sheriff had to be called. We finally got a refund check before leaving. We will not recommend this park to anyone.

The Spirit of the Border HTML version
Chapter 9.
Joe went to bed that night with a promise to himself to rise early next morning, for he had
been invited to take part in a "raising," which term meant that a new cabin was to be
erected, and such task was ever an event in the lives of the settlers.
The following morning Joe rose early, dressing himself in a complete buckskin suit, for
which he had exchanged his good garments of cloth. Never before had he felt so
comfortable. He wanted to hop, skip and jump. The soft, undressed buckskin was as
warm and smooth as silk-plush; the weight so light, the moccasins so well-fitting and
springy, that he had to put himself under considerable restraint to keep from capering
about like a frolicsome colt.
The possession of this buckskin outfit, and the rifle and accouterments which went with
the bargain, marked the last stage in Joe's surrender to the border fever. The silent,
shaded glens, the mystery of the woods, the breath of this wild, free life claimed him
from this moment entirely and forever.
He met the others, however, with a serene face, showing no trace of the emotion which
welled up strongly from his heart. Nell glanced shyly at him; Kate playfully voiced her
admiration; Jim met him with a brotherly ridicule which bespoke his affection as well as
his amusement; but Colonel Zane, having once yielded to the same burning, riotous
craving for freedom which now stirred in the boy's heart, understood, and felt warmly
drawn toward the lad. He said nothing, though as he watched Joe his eyes were grave and
kind. In his long frontier life, where many a day measured the life and fire of ordinary
years, he had seen lad after lad go down before this forest fever. It was well, he thought,
because the freedom of the soil depended on these wild, light-footed boys; yet it always
made him sad. How many youths, his brother among them, lay under the fragrant pine-
needle carpet of the forest, in their last earthly sleep!
The "raising" brought out all the settlement--the women to look on and gossip, while the
children played; the men to bend their backs in the moving of the heavy timbers. They
celebrated the erection of a new cabin as a noteworthy event. As a social function it had a
prominent place in the settlers' short list of pleasures.
Joe watched the proceeding with the same pleasure and surprise he had felt in everything
pertaining to border life.
To him this log-raising appeared the hardest kind of labor. Yet it was plain these hardy
men, these low-voiced women, and merry children regarded the work as something far
more significant than the mere building of a cabin. After a while he understood the
meaning of the scene. A kindred spirit, the spirit of the pioneer, drew them all into one
large family. This was another cabin; another home; another advance toward the
conquering of the wilderness, for which these brave men and women were giving their

text: Raphael Anzenberger is general secretary of France Evangelisation >> and president of the Francophone Evangelist Forum. Evangelist, missiologist, church planter, author, and speaker, he seeks to raise a new generation of young evangelists who will bring the message of the cross throughout the Francophone world. Married with four children, Raphael lives in Loches, France. ABOUT YOU What is the main focus of your ministry and why are you passionate about it? My main focus in ministry is proclaiming the gospel, multiplying evangelists and helping churches rethink their evangelistic strategy. I have a theory: more evangelists + better church consulting = increased evangelistic impact. Part of the success in this equation is to help churches understand what an evangelist is, while giving them clues on how to best release this ministry in their own setting. What does evangelism mean to you? Evangelism is a two-step process: proclaiming the gospel (inside-out) and inviting the hearer to respond (outside-in). The proclamation moves from the inside of the church to those outside of the church. The call to respond moves the hearer from being outside of the church to being inside of the church. This double move guarantees that the call to discipleship is never separated from the call to repentance and faith. Tell a story of how you shared your faith in Christ and saw God woo an individual one step closer to himself. On our street, we have a young man who prayed every night to an unknown God. He spent the first year of our church plant observing carefully how we, as Christians, were conducting ourselves. His main question was: Are they really living what they are proclaiming? He then proceeded to speak to each member of our core team, asking them how they met God. We gladly shared the gospel to him and invited him to come to church. He started attending our daily prayer meetings (morning and evening). Head down, seated in the lotus position, he listened to our prayers of blessing for him. I knew God had his grip on him. We encouraged him to read the Gospel of John and to start praying in the name of Jesus, which he did. Soon after, he had a powerful encounter with Jesus. He is now being discipled by one of our young evangelists. Inside-out. Outside-in. What is your favorite quote/scripture? "Man is always looking for better methods. God is always looking for better men." - EM Bound How can people learn more about you and your ministry? They can visit the France Evangelisation website >> ABOUT THE WORLD What is the biggest issue that the Church in your part of the world faces today and why? French is one of the most spoken languages in the world. The Francophone world is made of 56 countries representing 970 million people. A large number of these countries have very little evangelical presence (North Africa, Equatorial Africa, Quebec, Belgium, France). The biggest issue facing French-speaking countries in the West (Belgium, France, Switzerland, Quebec) is the rapid secularization process which is pushing churches to the fringes of society. The biggest issue facing the evangelical Church in this region of the world is to come out of a "ghetto mentality" and find its own voice amidst other competing voices (Catholics, atheists, Marxists). In the French-speaking countries where the evangelical presence is larger (Central Africa, Antilles), there is a need for a more cooperative effort toward reaching the unengaged (geographically and sociologically speaking). The call of MANI (Movement for African National Initiatives) is to bring the gospel to North Africa, which is largely unreached. This enormous task requires the whole of French-speaking churches to bring the whole gospel to this largely French-speaking African zone. What is the biggest issue the Global Church is facing today and why? Procrastination. A church leader once told me, "We spend our time analyzing Goliath, but who is actually picking up the stones and has enough courage to throw them?" We could call this procrastination, but ultimately it is disobedience to God. I believe that part of the solution is for the David-type evangelists to help the Church move out in faith into the world and to exemplify boldness in sharing the gospel amidst the giants of our time! What is your hope for the Global Church in the next ten years? I have been very impressed with the upcoming generation. I see God raising gifted young leaders, male and female, who know how to network for a greater purpose than social gathering. In our movement, we started a training program to identify, develop, and release such leaders. It is amazing how much impact for evangelism these 60 young evangelists can bring at a national level. I can only imagine what could happen if they could network with others across the globe!

"In the '90s, that's when we had the most powerful women in R&B and hip-hop. They bridged a gap in music and they bridged a gap for women."
For more than a decade, Jeannette Smith-Cooper — better known as Denver soul diva Sista Soul — has channeled her admiration for '90s artists like Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston and others into her music. But this Sunday at Casselman's Bar and Venue, she's channeling it into a heck of a party for a really good cause — the empowerment of women right here in Denver. Performances by Bella Scratch, Lady Speech, Day Acoli (a.k.a. Insight Clopedia Brown), Jess DeNicola, Jen Korte and many more will benefit Purple Ring Society and the Won't Be Broken Foundation in the Tribute to Women of the '90s.
"I'm hoping that we can reach out through the community for support, and raise both awareness and funds," says Smith-Cooper.
Drawing inspiration from a B.E.T. special, Smith-Cooper began planning the tribute last year, and is thrilled to be able to tie it into Women's History Month. And while Sista Soul is a powerful performer in her own right, she's also excited to bring together some of her favorite Denver performers. With Cici O'Hain performing the music of SWV, Day Acoli honoring Queen Latifah, Bella Scratch paying tribute to Missy Elliott, and others invoking the passionate, fun-loving souls of Toni Braxton, Da Brat, MC Lyte, Erykah Badu, Janet Jackson, Bahamadia, Lauryn Hill and more, there will be more than enough '90s nostalgia for everyone.
Smith-Cooper hopes that those who loved '90s R&B and soul music will enjoy hearing their old favorites, but that they'll also connect with these modern performers, who are also trying to bridge the gap between commercial hip-hop and something that is more empowering for people, in general, and for women, in particular.
"More and more, people are getting tired of just hip-hop," says the singer. "You've got to have a little bit of everything." Like the recent all-female tribute to the Wu-Tang Clan, Smith-Cooper hopes that this infusion of female energy will help balance out some of the misogyny that is rampant in commercial hip-hop. That's why she's chosen to partner with two organizations whose purpose is to empower women.
The Won't Be Broken Foundation, with whom Smith-Cooper has done volunteer work over the years, attempts to meet the emotional, physical and spiritual needs of those who have experienced rape, domestic violence and unplanned teenage pregnancies. The Purple Ring Society is a network of women whose aim is to inspire and support the personal and professional growth of women throughout the Denver area. Profits from tickets (which are $5 in advance and $10 at the door) will go to these two groups.
"I want people to know that I stand for something," says Smith-Cooper, who will release a full-length soul album later this year. "I want people to connect Sista Soul with a mission."

I know there are a lot of decoy manufacturers out there and more coming out every year. It seems everyone is looking for that perfect decoy and we are never satisfied with what we have. Everyone has their favorites, for one reason or another and some prefer a particular brand for a particular reason. The one thing I can say, is all of this competition is bringing us more life like decoys!
With that said, what are the opinions of the Tangle Free Pro Series? I never really looked into them, but I saw some this weekend and was quite impressed.
I think FA and GHG make good looking decoys. May be not the best quality, but good looking. Then there are Blue Collar decoys and they are nice, but you pay for them. Now DOA is out, but they are Goose only for now. Another decoy I am very interested in taking a close look at are the new 2013 decoys from Hard Core. I am very curious about the Tangle Free and the Hard Core and will be adding some to the spread this season!

Chunky Green Flower Cuff Bangle
It looks like candy! And that alone would be enough, but it's also funky and chunky and green and affordable and awesome. So it's kinda important that I have it. But it really does look all shiny and lacquered up like one of those huge lollipops that always looked cooler than they tasted. Which I'm guessing is the same scenario with this bangle.

A must-have for every fashionista's jewelry box, this wide black cuff bracelet is embellished with a unique beaded knot. Jet black jewelry adds an edge and fashion forward look to any outfit.

So What's a Plastics Pioneer?
He or she is a member of an association devoted to preserving this industry's past and teeing up its future.
This past weekend my wife and I made the five-hour trek from New Jersey to York, Maine to attend the meeting of the Plastics Pioneers Association (PPA), of which I am a member. (Full disclosure: I and fellow PPA inductee and Plastics Technology Executive Editor Matt Naitove make up the group's publicity committee.)
Anyway, during the drive up in what was tantamount to a monsoon, I started to think about the first time I made that trip. It was four years ago, when I received my PPA induction pin. I reflected on the impressions I had of the PPA before I had become a member, and how much they have changed since.
Like any story, it's best to start at the beginning. My timeline might be off a bit, but around the summer of 2011 I received a phone call from extrusion industry veteran Al Hodge. I've known Al for more than 20 years, so it wasn't an extraordinary circumstance to receive a call from him. But I was surprised at what he wanted to talk about.
"How would you feel about becoming a member of the Plastics Pioneers Association?" Al asked. My first response was "Huh?" Now, I had heard of the PPA in my nearly 30 years in plastics, but didn't envision myself as a fit.
As Al talked a bit about the group a variety of thoughts raced through my head. "Why would I, a 51 (at the time) year-old guy, join a 'club' of, well, ummm, much older people?" I don't think I actually said that to Al, but I might have, as sometimes the filter between my brain and mouth malfunctions, However I put it, Al chuckled a bit, filled me in on some of what the PPA gets involved in, and I said yes. I think it was Al and Tim Womer who nominated me.
Shortly thereafter I received a very thick book in the mail, about as thick as the yellow pages used to be. It was The Who's Who of the Plastics Pioneers Association Inc., the PPA's membership roster. I leafed through it, saw the names of members active, inactive, and no longer with us. I thought "Wow, this is an impressive group of people." Many, in fact, have been inducted in the Plastics Hall of Fame.
So then, since I'd now become honored about the appointment as opposed to befuddled about it, I felt a little bragging was in order. I called a couple of friends in the industry, "young" old timers like me, and filled them in. Well, the jokes were relentless. Here's one of the more tame ones: "Congrats. Every time you go to a meeting the average age will drop to 85."
Undaunted, I fueled up and made the 300-mile journey to York to get my pin. There were a few other people inducted with me. I don't remember all of them, but one was my friend Rick Shaffer, who used to run Netstal and before that Demag. Rick's got a great sense of humor. "I used to think being inducted to the PPA was a great honor," he said before a group of people, including me, at the cocktail reception. I knew the punch line was coming, and Rick delivered, chuckling, "Then I saw Jim Callari's name on the list."
Then I started attending meetings. I listened mostly at first, and quickly had an epiphany: These people do important stuff, the kind of stuff that's dedicated not only to preserving this great industry's past, but teeing up its future. They award scholarships; early this year they set up an endowment program with the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. They continue to award scholarships to individual students. As I reported in an editorial about a year ago, through the efforts of PPA long-timers Harry Greenwald and Glenn and Patsy Beall, the group established a virtual museum at Syracuse University.
But like many associations in this industry, PPA's membership is starting to dwindle a bit. Many of the founding fathers of the industry that comprised the PPA membership roster since it was formed in 1944 have either passed away, retired, or are no longer involved. The "face" of the PPA is beginning to change: now that many of the entrepreneurs that made this industry great are gone, the newer (and potential) members are in positions within their company (be it sales, marketing, engineering, general management) that they say make it difficult for them to get involved in these kind of associations.
The way I look it, that's a situation that cannot be allowed to perpetuate. This industry is in dire need of young blood, and work that the PPA does has helped keep such blood pursue careers in plastics. Case in point: in Maine over the weekend the group was introduced to Michael Magaletta, a U-Mass Lowell student with a 3.99 GPA who will graduate next May with a BS in plastics engineering. Michael was the first recipient of the PPA's scholarship endowment, and after school will begin his professional career with a very well-known consumer products company based in New England. Michael spoke briefly, and said he would have had more difficulty in achieving in goal without the PPA's support. Michael wasn't alone; in Maine the group announced that it awarded scholarships to nine other students outside the U-Mass endowment program, and had increased its donation to the Plastivan program.
I'm off my soap box now, but promise me if Al Hodge, Tim Womer or anyone else from the PPA calls you and asks you about joining, don't say "Huh," forget about what you think you know about the organization, and consider getting involved.

Hi. This error came up:
My friend, a computer guru, suggested I try a new hard drive and reinstall windows via a usb. So I purchased one, popped it in and turned back on the computer to enter the BIOS mode to set it to boot from a USB that has windows xp on it (yes, its bootable).
Problem #1: When I go into the BIOS to change the boot order, USB isn't an option..the only options are network, floppy, cd-rom (no, i don't have my windows cd rom disk), and hard drive. Also tried pressing ESC to change boot order on the boot screen, same options, no USB.
Problem #2: I notice that if I don't press f10 to enter the BIOS menu soon enough it tries to start itself and the error still comes up, just as it used to before i put in the new hard drive.
Problem #3: I ran the hard drive test in the BIOS after popping in the new one and it says No IDE found. How can that be? I just put in a brand new one!
Anyone have suggestions? I found tons of posts on the net telling people to get a new hard drive and reinstall off a usb... how would i reinstall off the usb though if it doesnt even give me the option? One post said maybe the USB is disabled...yet they didn't give any clue of how to enable it so it is recognized as a boot source.
