By Chris Harris
Gael Clichy has been ruled out of Tuesday's Champions League game with a back problem.
The Arsenal full back completed Saturday's North London derby but has not travelled to Braga. Kieran Gibbs is likely to deputise.
Arsène Wenger will also be without Andrey Arshavin and Robin van Persie for his team's penultimate Group H fixture. Both forwards have been rested and Van Persie will use the opportunity to work towards full fitness at the training ground.
"I left Clichy behind because he has a small back problem and we will take the opportunity to clear that out," explained Wenger before the squad flew out to Portugal on Monday.
"Arshavin [is not in the squad] because I want to give him a rest, he has played every single game recently and played for Russia on Tuesday night.
"And Van Persie [will not travel] so he can improve his fitness because he is back in the squad but is not 100 per cent fit at the moment - I mean his physical condition to fight in a top-level game.
"I think that [working hard on the training ground] is what he needs at the moment. If I take him to Braga and he is not 100 per cent and is on the bench and doesn't come on then it is a waste of time and for three days, so I leave him behind and he will take the opportunity to work."
Manuel Almunia (elbow), Abou Diaby (ankle) and Thomas Vermaelen (Achilles) are still sidelined by injuries.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Nick Olson on the False Hope of Cryonics
Our very own Nick Olson recently published an article on ThinkChristian regarding the "renewed interest (and false hope) in cryonics". Cryonics, if you didn't know, is the process of preserving the body -- or parts of the body -- at extremely cold temperatures (think -196°C) with the hopes of reviving it at a later date. Those who submit to the process are essentially hoping to cheat death, and essentially experience a sort of immortality.Such attempts may seem foolish to Christians, since we … [Read more...]
The Paralysis of Having Too Many Cultural Choices
Today, we have more access to greater amounts of culture (books, movies, music, etc.) than any preceding generation. Devices like iPads and Kindles, streaming services for music and movies, and online retailers have placed vast amounts of information at our fingertips -- literally, in some cases. Indeed, it can be rather mindboggling, though we don't often think about it due to its ubiquity. Really, how often do we think that the iPhone in our hand can easily hold thousands of books, or tens of … [Read more...]
Hurricane Sandy Reminds Me that I Enjoy a Good Natural Disaster, Because I'm a Terrible Human Being
When I was a kid I loved a good storm. I would gather every bucket I could find and place them around the back of our house to catch the rainwater pouring down eaves. While it rained I'd man the buckets, moving them to more efficient places, pouring smaller pails into bigger containers. I'd keep these buckets for weeks after the storm until the water turned brown from dirt and dead leaves and I would have to dump them out. Maybe I kept the water because we lived in a desert, or maybe because I … [Read more...]

Did Apple Really Just Screw Over iPad Owners?

Looks like there's an ongoing shooting at Virginia Tech down in Blacksburg. Hope all are safe. Looks like they have the campus locked down.
Dunno if you guys have seen the news report, 8 or more casualties at VT, a nutjob has apparently been shooting people :(
Someone got shot at Virginia Tech college. The shooter got away (so far).
People are going to die because of backwards logic. Lets ban guns on campus so no one can shoot anyone else, because you can't shoot anyone without a gun right...
To save you the time, this is their CCW policy
from http://www.policies.vt.edu/5616.pdf
"2.2 Prohibition of Weapons
The university's employees, students, and volunteers, or any visitor or other third party attending a sporting,
entertainment, or educational event, or visiting an academic or administrative office building or residence hall, are
further prohibited from carrying, maintaining, or storing a firearm or weapon on any university facility, even if the owner has a valid permit, when it is not required by the individual's job, or in accordance with the relevant
University Student Life Policies."
Current count is 1 dead, 17 wounded, one gunman in custody, but shootings occurred at opposite ends of the campus, so there was more than one shooter. Apparently there have also been multiple bomb threats on campus within the past month too.

latest update: 22 dead, shooter is dead also.
Holy hell, this is horrible, I have heard that they were reporting automatic weapon fire, whether from the gunmen or the swat/police, who knows. I doubt a handgun was the weapon used..

My god...I saw this earlier today where it looked like 1 dead and 7 wounded. This is just terrible.
Thats real bad

Gun bill gets shot down by panel
Jan 21, 2006
HB 1572, which would have allowed handguns on college campuses, died in subcommittee.
By Greg Esposito 381-1675
A bill that would have given college students and employees the right to carry handguns on campus died with nary a shot being fired in the General Assembly.
House Bill 1572 didn't get through the House Committee on Militia, Police and Public Safety. It died Monday in the subcommittee stage, the first of several hurdles bills must overcome before becoming laws.
The bill was proposed by Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah County, on behalf of the Virginia Citizens Defense League. Gilbert was unavailable Monday and spokesman Gary Frink would not comment on the bill's defeat other than to say the issue was dead for this General Assembly session.
Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."
Del. Dave Nutter, R-Christiansburg, would not comment Monday because he was not part of the subcommittee that discussed the bill.
Most universities in Virginia require students and employees, other than police, to check their guns with police or campus security upon entering campus. The legislation was designed to prohibit public universities from making "rules or regulations limiting or abridging the ability of a student who possesses a valid concealed handgun permit ... from lawfully carrying a concealed handgun."
The legislation allowed for exceptions for participants in athletic events, storage of guns in residence halls and military training programs.
Last spring a Virginia Tech student was disciplined for bringing a handgun to class, despite having a concealed handgun permit. Some gun owners questioned the university's authority, while the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police came out against the presence of guns on campus.
In June, Tech's governing board approved a violence prevention policy reiterating its ban on students or employees carrying guns and prohibiting visitors from bringing them into campus facilities.

MEXICO CITY, (Xinhua): At least 12 people died and 14 more were injured when a bus fell into a 100-meter deep ravine in Mexico's eastern state of Veracruz Saturday night, local authorities said Sunday in a statement.
The government of Veracruz, a state located in Mexico's eastern coast, confirmed that so far 12 people have died and 14 more are injured. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
According to the statement, four women and eight men were killed. The bus had some 30 passengers when the accident occurred.
The injured were taken to local hospitals in Jalapa. Authorities said among those hospitalized, there are a 4-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl.
The bus was traveling from Misantla municipality to Jalapa, Veracruz's capital city, when a van suddenly switched to the bus's lane, causing it to fall in the ravine in Naolinco municipality, near its final destination.
Poor visibility caused by thick fog was blamed for the accident.
Javier Duarte, governor of Veracruz, sent condolences and ordered immediate support for the families of the victims.

I am curious on how you went about finding guys to help you with support? Have you targeted different timezones? Thanks
I've always approached customers first. There are always a few in the forum that take extra time to help others. When I see someone that is really giving back to the community, understands the products and seems motivated I will ask if they're interested in getting paid to do the same thing.
My support team is spread out globally. Some have been from the US, and currently we have one in the UK and another in Australia, but that is just by chance not design.
Ok. Thank you for your feedback. Also a very good chance (almost equally distributed)
Hi Guys, this may be off topic but I would like to ask how much are you paying for your support staff? e.g. Per Month, etc..
Usually post a topic on the forum here mentioning that we're looking for someone else to join the team. The members on this forum who partake in the community and seem to have a good working knowledge with WordPress get pushed to the top of the list.
Thought about this but was curious if there were other places or methods.

Good question. And also are you paying by number of tickets solved or by month? Also do you offer incentives for smaller response times?
I pay via hourly and round up to the nearest hour. Keeps things simple and all of us happy.
Rent me
If I were you, I would pay for tickets solved.
Paying per hours might tempt a support person to delay an answer forever…Paying per tickets solved – instead – motivates to faster responses, more seriousness, etc

A man who lost both his legs in the Boston Marathon bombings helped the FBI track the two terrorists from intensive care after revealing that one of them looked directly at him seconds before the blast.
Jeff Bauman, drowsy from strong pain relief medication, asked for a pen and paper to tell his brother that a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt dropped a bag on the ground in the moments before the blast.
Chris Bauman said: "He woke up under so much drugs, asked for a paper and pen and wrote, 'bag, saw the guy, looked right at me,'."
As he recovered in hospital, he was able to give a description of the suspect and assist the FBI in identifying the bombers. After the authorities released grainy CCTV footage of the bombers, the public posted their own pictures online.
A crystal clear photograph from Florida businessman David Green shows the second suspect wearing a white backwards cap - calmly walking away from the explosion which killed three and injured more than 180, having planted his backpack carrying the deadly explosives.
Mr Green, 49, who is the CEO of an athletic apparel company, had competed in the marathon and finished the race at around 1.40pm.
He was in search of friends who were cheering for him in the crowd when the blasts occurred.
As he ran toward the scene of the blast, he captured the picture with remarkable clarity, posted it to his Facebook page and contacted police.
The FBI today released new images and video of the suspects, including close-up photographs showing the men's faces in clearer detail.
They show them walking in single file toward the finishing line of the race around 13 minutes before the twin detonations.
Suspect 2 is seen setting down a backpack at the site of the second explosion at the Forum restaurant.
The men survey the carnage as they walk off - in contrast to the panicked members of the public running for their lives.
After vanishing form the scene, the suspects were traced after a crime spree late last night.
The pair shot dead a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer in his vehicle following an armed robbery at a 7/11 convenience store in Cambridge, Massachusetts at just before 11pm yesterday.
They then carjacked a black Mercedes SUV and led police on a high speed chase into the Boston neighbourhood of Watertown.
During the pursuit the two men threw numerous explosive devices out the sides of the vehicle before coming to a stop on a residential street and engaging police in a sustained firefight.
Suspect 1 - identified in previous pictures as the terrorist in a black cap and sunglasses - was hit and taken into custody at the scene, and died in hospital a short while later.
In the exchange of fire a Boston transit police officer was also hit and was in "critical condition" in hospital.
Suspect 2, pictured on the store's CCTV camera wearing a grey hoodie, was today being hunted by FBI agents, national guard, K-9 units and SWAT police teams.

PS, I did the tour last fall and it's awesome. There's no guide at all, you just get your beer of choice and walk around. They have tables outside and bag toss as well. The best part is that you also get a coupon for a free beer in the town as well. That and there are pretty nice roads around the area too.
I live off of Valley Creek and Bielenberg and I actually work in Minnetonka right now. I'd be interested in the drive down and you are right, the roads are nice down near New Glarus. The tour sounds about the same as the last time I went except the free beer coupon. That's awesome!
Also there is another cool brewery that has a little restaurant called Ale Asylum on the West side of Madison that would be work a stop.

Sports: The Other Tennis, Anyone?Keith Felcyn
For some tennis aficionados, platform tennis seems to be a rather Mickey Mouse version of their favorite racket sport. They dismiss it because it's played on a court that feels like an outsize Ping-Pong table, in an enclosure that resembles a large chicken coop. What's more, the dress code is decidedly unchic: An old pair of sneakers and several layers of thermals and sweats will suffice.
Yet platform tennis--or paddle tennis--is a serious winter sport whose popularity is very much on the rise, especially in the Midwest. Chicago alone has 2,250 league players, who are regulars on the country club circuit or at the public courts on the North Shore. A move is even under way to include paddle tennis as an official sport at the winter Olympics in 2002. Explains George Eberle, a manufacturer's representative from Evanston, Ill., and a veteran of 20 years of playing platform-tennis: "I play for the sport of it and for the exercise, not to mention the camaraderie over a beer following the match."
With the growing interest in platform tennis, it's not surprising that racket manufacturers have begun marketing high-technology equipment. The big change is in the paddles--which have holes to help cut down on wind resistance. Compared with the old 15.25-ounce wooden versions, the seven models of paddle introduced this season use lightweight composite materials to lessen stress on the arm, especially at the elbow. Averaging 14 ounces, they range from Viking's $90 semisoft, rubberlike RRF paddle to Wilson's $110 molded-graphite Hammer 7, an extension of the technology used in its best-selling Hammer tennis racket line. Viking's top-of-the-line graphite Tornado, another high-tech wonder that has been on the market for three seasons, is the priciest at $130. Viking also manufactures an old-fashioned wooden entry-level model, the Squall, which sells for $50.
The new paddles--which might make great holiday gifts for yourself or the racket-sport athletes in your family--come with a variety of graphics: Viking's Ice features icicles dripping down the frame, while Wilson's Extreme has a checkerboard pattern. But when it comes to the nuances of paddle design, what counts is the configuration of the holes, whether the holes have sharp or smooth edges, and the material used for the hitting surface. Such features can affect spin and torque and will matter most to top-level players. If you're a beginner or occasional practitioner, choosing a paddle is much like buying a tennis racket: Try out several for feel, and buy the one with which you're most comfortable.
MICROWAVED BALLS. The other major piece of equipment in platform tennis is the ball. At $3, it is not a major investment. Since neither Wilson nor Viking, the leading makers, has perfected a ball that performs well in all temperatures from 60F to below zero, you have two choices: a ball for average cold weather and one for extreme conditions. And here's a tip to give the ball a livelier bounce: Heat it in a microwave for a few minutes before you play.
The ball takes quite a beating in platform tennis, which is almost entirely a doubles game. During a typical volley, it's not uncommon for a ball to get whacked 30 to 50 times. One reason is that the ball stays in play even after it bounces off the wire-mesh fence surrounding the 30-by-60-foot platform (about one-quarter the size of a tennis court). Other things to know about the game: It is scored the same way as tennis, but you get only one serve vs. the two allowed in the full-size game.
To learn more about the sport, consult the instructional video Platform Tennis, with nine-time national champion Rich Maier ($29.95, R.J. Reilly, 800 950-5049), or the book How to Play Platform Tennis by Dick Squires ($16, Squirrel Publishing Co., 203 854-9449). A few sets of platform tennis, and you'll understand what a vigorous, fast-paced game it is.

2009 Burton Custom 145cm
This is a Burton Custom snowboard. Board size is 145 cm and normal width.
The board is in excellent condition. I have only used it 7 times. There are a few minor scratches in the wax coating on the bottom, nothing unusual. These can be easily fixed by applying another wax coating.
I am selling it because I have outgrown it. I also have some black Burton Mission bindings size L that can be sold with it for an additional $50.
If you are interested contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com for pictures of the board and other info.
Happy Boarding!

Sagging Headliner
So, I just got my 1990 Eldorado and one of the things that I want to take care of first is my sagging headliner. From what I can tell, tehre is actually nothing physically wrong with it, but it just sags. So much so that it has started pulling its edges out from the front and back so they're exposed. I want to fix it instead of replacing it (like I said, the headliner itself looks to be in great condition).
Can anyone point me int he right direction on how to do this myself? Maybe a website or a book or something?

Re: Sagging Headliner
Timing is everything, I have a follow up question. I started removing headliner on my 1990 Eldorado about two hours ago for same reason. Removing trim around doors involved some patience, but worked. Removing all the hanging parts (visors, clips, handles, signals, straps, etc) went pretty fast with a phillips screwdriver (once I figured out trick to unclip covers on straps). From that point front half of headliner was just hooked with velcro and now hangs down, but I'm stumped on how to remove back half. The trim in back (two door) is more like a panel than trim, from the door pedestal back it runs from headliner down to below bench seat level. What's the trick to getting the back half the headliner to come down?

Book Shelves #47, 11.18.2012
Book shelves series #47, forty-seventh Sunday of 2012
So this is what happens—books pile up. Okay, maybe that sentence is missing a clear subject: I pile books up.
This stack mounded on my record player over the last week; I intended to shelve about half of these:
My shelving solution is woefully short-term (more double stocked shelves).
Anyway, this shelf is mostly other media, including DVDs, a few records, and playing cards.
Of note (perhaps) are the three illustrated volumes on the left that I've had forever.
The illustrated Kidnapped features art by N.C. Wyeth:
The illustrated Kipling was actually my father's:
Have you read Adam Novy's novel The Avian Gospels? It's good stuff.
Like many bibliophiles, I'm a sucker for plain Penguins:
Faulkner House/Crescent City Books (Books Acquired Some Time Last Week)
Had a wonderful if sweaty trip to New Orleans last week.
Great food, great music, and great bookstores.
First up, Faulkner House:
Faulkner House is a tiny little shop just off Jackson Square. Its two rooms (really, a main room and a hallway) are lined from bottom to top with literature, poetry, and philosophy. I can't overstate the excellence of the collection in here—all kinds of rare and beautiful tomes, signed stuff, local and localish stuff, etc (local gal Anne Rice was the closest thing I saw to genre fiction). It's great to walk into a bookshop and see a near-complete collection of new NYRB volumes stacked prominently upfront along with new novels by Richard Ford and Teju Cole.
I picked up this handsome illustrated edition of Thomas Bernhard's Victor Halfwit, the handsomeness and bigness and luxuriousness of which simply doesn't come across in this lousy iPhone pic:
Random framed shot:
And a random two-page shot with glare:
My wife picked out three lovely editions from Everyman's Library Pocket series, poems from Christina Rosetti, Emily Dickinson, and Emily Brontë:
The owner and the manager were very kind, knowledgeable, and tolerant of my questions about what kind of stock they moved (biggest seller, unsurprisingly, is Soldier's Pay).
Info for Faulkner House, via bookmark (the manager put one in each book I bought):
A few days later after a three-Bloody-Mary-breakfast I stumbled into Crescent City Books:
This is a great shop that, like Faulkner House, doesn't waste precious shelf space on glitter vampires or self-help books or novelty cookbooks. Lots of art volumes (many rare and in German, French, Italian, etc.), a large poetry section, philosophy, history, etc. Lots of great old prints too. And an old cat, who was basically boss of the place.
They also carry physical copies of Rain Taxi, which I haven't seen in years.
I picked up Masquerade and Other Stories after a Biblioklept commenter recommended Walser (by way of Kafka). I read about half of this over the next few days (full review to come):
Cormac McCarthy, Unchallenged King of Literary Mule Carnage
In his essay "The Dead Mule Rides Again," Jerry Leath Mills argues
. . . there is indeed a single, simple, litmus-like test for the quality of southernness in literature, one easily formulated into a question to be asked of any literary text and whose answer may be taken as definitive, delimiting, and final. The test is: Is there a dead mule in it?
Mills's convincing textual evidence draws on over thirty authors, but declares Cormac McCarthy "unchallenged king of literary mule carnage." Some proof:
4. Decapitation by irate opera singer. Cormac McCarthy, who far surpasses even Faulkner in the mayhem he visits upon literary mules (see #s 5, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15), includes in his recent novel The Crossing (1994) the following dialogue about a mule whose recalcitrance proves insufferable to the artistic temperament of a singer assigned to tend him in a road company:
What was it he done to the mule?
He tried to cut off the head with a machete. . . .
I wouldn't have thought you could cut off a mule's head with a machete.
Of course not. Only a drunken fool would attempt such a feat. When the hacking availed not he began to saw. . . .
What happened to the mule?
The mule? The mule died. Of course
5. Drowning. This is Faulkner's most commonly employed means of dispatch for the mules in his works. In the flood scenes he renders so effectively, we inevitably find drowned mules floating down river. As opposed to the train-struck animals in "Mule in the Yard" (see # 3), which are instrumental in developing motive and plot, Faulkner's drowned mules tend to fall into the decorative or ornamental category, employed chiefly for drama, mood, and atmosphere. In As I Lay Dying (1930), for example, Darl recreates a wagon disaster in the surging stream: "Between two hills I see the mules once more. They roll up out of the water in succession, turning completely over, their legs stiffly extended as when they had lost contact with the earth". In the "Old Man" sections of The Wild Palms (1939), the flood throws forth its "charging welter of dead cows and mules and outhouses and cabins and hencoops," and Faulkner's prose strikes an elegiac note as the convict's skiff rides "even upon the backs of the mules as though even in death they were not to escape that burden-bearing doom with which their eunuch race was cursed". Before the ordeal ends, the accumulation of mule carcasses reaches almost cosmic proportions as the stranded convict remembers "that other wave, the second wall of water full of houses and dead mules building up behind him in the swamp".
Robert Morgan's story "Poinsett's Bridge" (1989) picks up the drowned mule topos in distinctly Faulknerian terms: "The body of a mule shot by in the current, and then a chicken coop"; but Cormac McCarthy (see #s 4, 6, 7, 9, 14, 15) varies it in Blood Meridian (1985) by having a mule drowned intentionally: "The Yumas were swimming the few sorry mules . . . across the river. . . . Downriver they'd drowned one of the animals and towed it ashore to be butchered". (On recurrent uses of mules as culinary items see # 14.)
That the image of the drowned mule also occupies a subliterary folk status in the South is perhaps attested by a common simile in which a wealthy person is said to have "enough money to burn up a wet mule."
6. Falls from cliffs. The novel Blood Meridian (1985) establishes Cormac McCarthy as unchallenged king of literary mule carnage. No fewer than fifty-nine specific mules die in the book, plus dozens more that are alluded to in groups and bunches. Mules are shot, roasted, drowned, knifed, and slain by thirst; but the largest number, 50 out of a conducta of 122 mules carrying quicksilver for mining, plummet from a single cliff during an ambush, performing an almost choreographic display of motion and color, "the animals dropping silently as martyrs, turning sedately in the empty air and exploding on the rocks below in startling bursts of blood and silver as the flasks broke open and the mercury loomed wobbling in the air in great sheets and lobes and small trembling satellites. . . . Half a hundred mules had been ridden off the escarpment". (See also #s 4, 5, 7, 9, 14, 15.)
. . .
7. Fall into subterranean cavity. Near the conclusion of Cormac McCarthy's Child of God (1973), "Arthur Ogle was plowing an upland field one evening when the plow was snatched from his hands. He looked in time to see his span of mules disappear into the earth taking the plow with them" (195). These doomed mules qualify as highly functional in the story, since a search for their bodies leads to the discovery of a number of human corpses stored in the caves underground for sexual use by the necrophiliac Lester Ballard. (See also #s 4, 5, 6, 9, 14, 15.)
. . .
9. Gunshot wounds. The high quotient of gunplay in southern fiction quite naturally extends to some of the mules that grace its pages. . . .
Mules absorb lead throughout much of Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (1985), one providing a shield against incoming fire: "He . . . crouched under the ribs of a dead mule and recharged the pistol".
. . .
14. Stab wounds. . . .
But mules are consumed readily by man, beast, and fowl in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (1985), and a character in Bernice Kelly Harris's Purslane (1939) finds the practice a perfectly acceptable topic for mealtime conversation: "Uncle Millard near the foot of the table was telling about the Christmas dinner he ate in the pesthouse years ago, declaring it was fried dog and mouse stew with a slice of boiled mule".
15. Thirst. Alkali flats in Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian (1985) yield no shortage of "the black and desiccated shapes of horses and mules. . . . These parched beasts had died with their necks stretched in agony in the sand"
. . .
18. Submersion in domestic metaphor. Once again, Cormac McCarthy creates an exclusive category (see # 4) with a scene in Cities of the Plain (1998):
When he turned around Billy [Parham] was standing in the doorway watching him [John Grady Cole].
This the honeymoon suite? he said.
You're lookin at it.
He leaned in the doorframe and took his cigarettes from his shirtpocket and shucked one out and lit it.
The only thing you ain't got here is a dead mule in the floor.
Topless Faulkner, Part II
William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying, The Perils of Assigned Reading, and A Call for Second Chances
Not quite two years ago, I wrote some pretty awful things about William Faulkner on this blog. In a review of his first published novel Sancutary, I argued, quite ineffectually, that, "Faulkner as an American Great is nothing but a scam." Elsewhere, I proffered this ignorant nugget:
"…it seems that a few critics–notably Malcolm Cowley and Cleanth Brooks–decided either that a. Faulkner is really great and/or b. America needs a new master of literary fiction, and it might as well be Faulkner. It seems amazing to me that these two critics conned a whole generation into believing that someone whose books were so unbelievably poorly written was actually, like, a totally awesome and important writer."
Ouch. At the time I wrote that rant, I was still in grad school, which is to say I was still being assigned reading by well-intentioned professors. I was also laboring under a cruel miscalculation, the mistaken belief that I had actually read most of Faulkner's great works–As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury, and Absalom, Absalom!–in my high school and undergraduate courses–where said books were assigned reading. The truth, I realize now, is that while Faulkner's strange, dense, elliptical prose might have passed under my eyes, I completely failed to read his books when I was a young man. It wasn't until last spring, when I read one of Faulkner's last novels, Go Down, Moses, that I came to understand the genius of his writing, which is to say I came to learn to read his voices in a non-academic, non-studied fashion, intuitively and rhythmically. Go Down, Moses is strange and sad and funny and truly an achievement, a book that works as a sort of time machine, an attempt to undo or recover the racial and familial (in Faulkner, these are the same) divides of the past.
So. Skip ahead a year.
After reading Bolaño's stunning 2666, I strategically read Cormac McCarthy's Child of God, knowing that I'd need a voice at least equal to Bolaño's in order to not get totally bummed out and sort of paralyzed with that "What do I read next?" feeling. The strategy worked, but of course I needed a follow up book. So I picked up As I Lay Dying, the story of a poor rural family who labor to return their dead matriarch to her family's home town for burial. I'd "read" the book in high school; I remembered the plot, but I could not in any way comment on it. This time, with the freedom to choose to read it–and perhaps, older, better equipped–I truly entered the book, entered into each of the character's heads, their eyes, their voices. I "got" it.
I read As I Lay Dying in essentially three or four long sittings, sustained by Faulkner's incomparable, engrossing language. I realize now that as a high school student, and then again as an undergrad, I resisted the book, attempted to impose my own consciousness into the narrative in order to "understand" the plot, rather than letting the book happen to me–which I believe is how one must read Faulkner. I was amazed how quickly I read the book once I attuned myself to Faulkner's rhythm, and I was equally amazed at how conflicted and confused I felt about the story. I can't recall a novel whose characters I've ever felt so hateful and sympathetic toward at the same time. Great, great book.
Anyway. The point of this post is to say, "Hey, I was wrong, mistaken, terribly wrong about Faulkner when I said he wasn't a Great American Writer." I suppose I'm also implicitly arguing that the necessary evil of assigned reading can sometimes be less necessary and more evil: How many kids are we turning away from the really great stuff forever by forcing it upon them when they are too young, too unequipped to appreciate it? The other side of this logic, of course, is to point out that often assigned reading can turn us on to great writers forever; this was the case for me, with most of what I read in high school. Still, as an English teacher I do worry that in assigning and then dissecting literature–under the pretense of explaining it and appreciating it and learning from it–we always run the risk of killing it, draining it of the very vitality that was the rationale for reading it in the first place. Of course, there's a simple, simple antidote to reconciling yourself to all those books you hated in high school, those books you were supposed to love and be moved by and learn important and meaningful lessons from–you can read them again for the first time. The worst that could happen is a confirmation of your own prejudice; far more likely, in assigning your own reading, you'll find something truly great and meaningful.
No Country for Old Men
I've been reading a lot of Faulkner lately. This has nothing to do with me liking Faulkner (I don't) or thinking that he's an American master (at this point, I'm convinced that he's not. Rather, it seems that a few critics–notably Malcolm Cowley and Cleanth Brooks–decided either that a. Faulkner is really great and/or b. America needs a new master of literary fiction, and it might as well be Faulkner. It seems amazing to me that these two critics conned a whole generation into believing that someone whose books were so unbelievably poorly written was actually, like, a totally awesome and important writer). I'm taking a class that requires me to read Faulkner.
Anyway, over the course of my reading, I got to thinking that the Coen brothers, two guys that have made some of the best American films ever (masterful films, certainly) are fond of Faulkner: the flood in O Brother Where Art Thou? hearkens to Faulkner's novella Old Man (as does the whole milieu of that film really), the slow southern grotesque of Blood Simple is pure Faulknerian, ditto the gloomy doom of The Man Who Wasn't There, and the failed screenwriter W.P. Mayhew in Barton Fink is essentially a caricature of Faulkner during his days in Hollywood.
So well and anyway, the Coens have a new movie coming out, No Country for Old Men, based on the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. Cormac McCarthy is often compared to Faulkner, though I have no idea why. They're American? That's it. They're American. Like I said though, No Country for Old Men. Early reviews suggest that this is a return to form for the Coens, who have either been stumbling or just lazily cashing in lately (see: Intolerable Cruelty; The Ladykillers)–but we'll have to wait until November to find out. For now, check out the trailer:
Knocked Up, Rakish Behavior, More Bibliomania, and a Brief Hiatus
So today we (id est, Mrs. Biblioklept and myself) saw Knocked Up, which is pretty much the best pregnancy movie I've ever seen (yes, better than 9 Months, Parenthood and Father of the Bride 2 put together, and at least equal to Rosemary's Baby, which I'm not really sure even counts). Judd Apatow (we mentioned our love of Mr. Apatow's work in a previous post) assembled a host of familiar faces from his regular crew (including his wife and daughters) to make a funny and honest (although certainly hyperbolic) movie about love, relationships, having kids, growing older, and all that crap. Highly recommended. For a more detailed review, check out this Slate article (warning: this is a typical Slate article, i.e. the author starts by saying they basically like what they're about to discuss before hemming and hawing over every little detail in an effort to pick it apart. Still, on the whole, the article's pretty good).
Now, writing about movies and card games and TV shows is all well and good, but once upon a time this was a blog about books (sort of), and perhaps some of you feel that I've gotten particularly lazy in my reading. This is actually far from the case; in fact, all I've been doing lately is reading. Only the reading I've been doing has been for a grad class revolving around the figure of the libertine. Summer school. Yay. Not that the class has been boring per se, just not really something that's translated into anything I've felt the urge to write about. The poems and biographical of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester have been of great interest–this guy was downright naughty. Also a relatively recent play about Rochester called The Libertine was particularly good (much better than the movie version starring Johnny Depp that came out a year or two ago). The current reading for the class, however, Samuel Richardson's Clarissa, is more than I can bear. We are reading the abridged version, which is about 550 pages, paperback. The unabridged version is a large-sized small-print trade paperback topping 1600 pages. I have no idea what the editor cut out (neither do I care). The last time I read a book like this was in high school–Thomas Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Both novels are painfully long accounts of a young lady's trying circumstances. In both novels nothing really happens, and anything interesting that does happen is so coded that you have to read between the lines to figure it out ("Huh? Did Tess get raped? Huh?" also, "Huh? Did Clarissa get raped? Huh?"). Maybe I'm just a lazy reader.
But being a lazy reader hasn't stopped me from buying more books. My bibliomania persists unchecked, fueled by bargain blowout prices on last year's hardback remainders and promises of free shipping from Amazon. A quick run down of what I bought this week, complete with odds that I'll actually finish the book.
Sanctuary, William Faulkner
Intruder in the Dust, William Faulkner
The Portable Faulkner, ed. Malcolm Cowley
Fiction, Film, and Faulkner: The Art of Adaptation, Gene Phillips
Yes, I am taking a Faulkner class this summer. With the exception of the Phillips text, all materials were procured at my favorite local bookstore via store credit. Some of the books I used to get credit were not exactly mine. The Biblioklept strikes again! Likelihood that I'll finish all of these: 99.9%. I'm a good student. I don't cut any corners when it comes to class reading.
The Children's Hospital, Chris Adrian
I've been wanting to read this all year; rave reviews all around. Likelihood that I'll finish it: 50/50 might be generous. It's pretty long (600 pages) and hardback (I have a very poor track record with hardback). I'll give it a serious attempt in the two week window between the end of summer school and the fall semester. We'll see.
U.S.!, Chris Bachelder
Another book I've heard only great things about. The Left (big-L) keeps reviving muckraker Upton Sinclair (you know, dude who wrote The Jungle) from the dead to help "the cause"; he is repeatedly assassinated. Likelihood that I'll finish it: 99%–I started yesterday and am close to half finished. It's very, very good, and I'll try to review it later. It's actually been a terrible distraction from Clarissa. Plus, according to the back of the book, Bachelder got his MFA from my alma mater, the University of Florida. So there.
Against the Day, Thomas Pynchon
I loved loved loved V. The Crying of Lot 49 was decent enough. Vineland was good enough, I suppose, albeit kind of silly. I've put down Gravity's Rainbow more times than I can count. The first 100 pages of Mason & Dixon bored me to tears. Why did I buy this again? Oh, right, it was on sale. Likelihood that I'll finish this: This book is hardcover and over a 1000 pages. Let's just be honest–I will never finish this book. Maybe I'll give it to a friend as a burdensome gift, a sort of annoying challenge.
I realize that this post has been overlong and probably looks like a weak attempt to compensate for not having written in some time (which it certainly is); however, it will have to suffice, gentle reader, for an indeterminate amount of time. Mrs. Biblioklept will be going into the exquisite labors of childbirth any minute now (really), so I'm not sure when I'll have the leisure to post again. Until then.


text: Across the world, 1 in 3 women risk shame, disease, harassment and even attack because they have nowhere safe to go to the toilet. That's 1.25 billion women - daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers. Facing each day without access to this basic necessity is not just an inconvenience; it impacts on all aspects of life, and it is women and girls who suffer the most. Having nowhere safe to go to the toilet also means an increased risk of shame, harassment and even violence for women and girls when they are forced to go out in search of a private place to go to the toilet.

I used to like April Fool's Day, but now it's become this sea of fake information from legitimate companies, all trying to tell the world how clever they are for coming up with lame attempts at humor or trying to prank people.
It's as if everyone suddenly decided that they could write a story or do a video for The Onion, which basically takes the April Fool's joke and spreads it out to every other day of the year. In fact, a good April Fool's joke would be if The Onion covered legitimate news for a day.
That said, here's the roundup of all of the different April Fool's videos we've stumbled across, from Google to YouTube to other companies trying to get some news coverage from blogs like ours that highlight these kind of things. Groan or enjoy at your own peril.
YouTube shutting down: YouTube didn't really fool anyone with this video - even though they uploaded it on March 31, not April 1 - if you really want to prank someone like this, upload it on Feb. 18.
UPDATE: You have to admire YouTube's dedication to this prank - they're now doing a live announcement ceremony where they're announcing the nominees for Best Video:
Google goes all out Google typically does a ton of April Fool's jokes. This year, we get Gmail Blue, Google Nose and Google Maps Treasure, along with "Google Fiber to the Pole", and Google's "Levity Algorithm".
Google Treasure Maps: In addition to the video, you can check out your own neighborhood to see if there's treasure there.
Google Fiber to the Pole:
Even the enterprise team is in on the joke. Here's a video called "Levity Algorithm", courtesy of the Google Enterprise channel:
We'll be updating this post throughout the day with other jokes. Stay tuned. UPDATE SECTION:
Ubisoft has uploaded this "game trailer" for its title "Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon" by proclaiming that it's 2007, and it's the future - with a VHS-style video tape and something that looks like it was made in the '80s or '90s:
Dishonored Golden Cat E3 Gameplay Walkthrough The folks over at Bethesda Softworks have published this "gameplay walkthrough" of their video game "Dishonored" with some relatively funny jokes, including this one: "The models actually age over time, so if you waited long enough behind this guard, he would actually die of old age." Hee.
HondaHAIR: Honda recently announced the addition of an in-car vacuum cleaner for one of its new models, so on April 1 we get the HondaHAIR, an attachment that uses the vacuum attachment to cut people's hair while inside the car:
Fake technobabble from SciShow If you watch a lot of science-related videos on YouTube, you'll likely be impressed by the vocabulary of this video, in which the world is introduced to the "Retro-Proto-Turbo-Encabulator":
Just try and skip these ads From RhettandLink, we get a video titled "Funny Baby Panda Kiss", but instead of that we get a series of fake YouTube ads, with the ability to "Skip Ad", but in reality the ads just skip ahead to another fake ad. So don't skip, and just enjoy the fake ads!
ThinkGeek's fake products impress us: The best part about ThinkGeek's fake products is that you always hope they actually make them. First up, the "Amazing Bane Mask Walkie Talkies":
Here's another: "Aliens Chestburster-in-a-can":
Here's the "Adventure Time BMO Interactive Buddy"
Here's the "Creeper Body Pillow":
And finally, the "Death Star Trench Toss" game:
Wiggle your body to input text into your smartphone SwiftKey gives us this fake video for its "SwiftKey Tilt", which will revolutionize smartphone typing by letting users "wiggle or shimmy" in order to insert words without touching the phone:
Sony's Animalia lineup of tech for pets: Sony's April Fools joke involves a bunch of entertainment-related tech gadgets for dogs, cats and hamsters.
Troll Appreciation Day: Mashable's video unit produced this video, in which it announced its first-ever "Troll Appreciation Day", with an event in New York City with panels such as "Time Traveling: How to Get 30 Seconds of Your Life Back" and "Speling Lessons". Hee.
Toshiba's Shibasphere gaming console: Toshiba's first-ever gaming console, the Shibasphere, features "a completely controller-free interface, and Logical Aggression Monitoring that deploys positive therapeutics to prevent emotionally devastating rage-quits."
Other non-video April Fools jokes: * Roku's Streaming Shades * Moving service Unpakt is letting you play Space Invaders on its home page. * Chick-Fil-a's Facebook page featured two fake photos - one announcing that they're now going to be open on Sundays (the chain famously closes on Sundays), and the other a new line of chicken-flavored gum and nose strips (so you can smell the aroma of their chicken sandwiches at night. * Disney produced this story about a Hidden Mickey being found on the moon. * Verizon FiOS announced "FiOS Hipster" service, where cool people can downgrade their Internet speeds to 56Kbps. The "limited time bundle offers" includes "audio from your favorite shows pressed into vinyl", and "access to the cloud through AM radio." Sadly, it's not available in Brooklyn.

Tue May 2 2017 (Updated 05/04/17)UCSC's Kerr Hall Reclaimed Until A/BSA Demands Are Met
Tue May 2 2017 (Updated 05/04/17)Students Reclaim Main Administrative Building at UC Santa Cruz to Press Demands
On May 2, hundreds of students rallied in Quarry Plaza at UC Santa Cruz to "let the Chancellor know Black Students need support from the University." Students then marched to Kerr Hall, the main administrative building at UCSC, and launched a reclamation of the building. Employees left the building, as students declared they will remain until the demands from Afrikan Black Student Alliance (A/BSA) are met.
A/BSA is one of the oldest and largest student organizations on the UCSC campus. Their demands, published on March 6 in City on a Hill Press and addressed to "Chancellor Blumenthal and any other involved party," begin by stating, "The Afrikan Black Caribbean identified students have spoken. The issues on this campus far exceed anything easily fixed. However Black students at UCSC have composed a list of uncompromisable demands that will make our time here more tolerable. These demands are not a huge ask, but they are pivotal to the retention of our community. If the university fails us, there will be no business as usual."
In a May 2 statement, The Afrikan/Black Student Alliance writes: We are pushing back against the language of "occupation" in recognition of the largely white-centric and fairly recent "Occupy Movement". We are pushing back against the language of "occupation" in recognition of the very real settler occupations that are hxstorical and ongoing, such as the European colonization and occupation of "The Americas", as well as the current context of occupation in Palestine. We move in solidarity with Black people all over the world who are occupied by liberalism and neoliberalism's devastating socioeconomic and political policies and materialities. This includes folks on The Continent, Palestinian people, and other Black and Brown people all over the world. While the actual actions during this Reclamation may appear the same as other "occupations" on campus and off-campus, we know that language does matter as do intentions.
In a meeting on May 4, Chancellor George Blumenthal agreed to meet all four demands presented by A/BSA. Students stress that the struggle continues, and they have many upcoming meetings with UCSC representatives.

Court Chips Away at Whistleblower ProtectionsTweet
July 19, 2013
A decision this week by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit narrowed the scope of Dodd-Frank protections for one whistleblower, and potentially for the many others who blow the whistle to their employers.
Meanwhile, a recent survey showed that whistleblowers within the financial system are needed more than ever.
In a ruling that contradicted previous decisions by the lower courts, the Fifth Circuit held that employees who report violations internally are not entitled to the anti-retaliation rights established in the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act.
Under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection provisions, which the Project On Government Oversight strongly supported, employees were given financial incentives to report wrongdoing to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as well as increased anti-retaliation protections. Prior rulings by the lower courts echoed the SEC's regulations in extending the protections to individuals who report wrongdoing within their companies.
The Fifth Circuit rejected these interpretations, ruling that Khaled Asadi—a former employee of G.E. Energy LLC who was fired after he told his supervisor about a possible violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act—is not entitled to the Dodd-Frank protections because he didn't report directly to the SEC. Many companies have devoted extensive resources to establishing internal reporting programs, but the Fifth Circuit's ruling may force whistleblowers to go directly to the government if they want to receive full protection. The Fifth Circuit made its decision based on a narrow reading of the Dodd-Frank Act, even though it is clear from the legislative and rulemaking record that both Congress and the SEC intended to expand protections for whistleblowers, not curb them.
The ruling could have adverse impacts on the rights and recourses of whistleblowers at a time when fraud, waste, and abuse still run rampant within the financial system. A law firm dedicated to representing SEC whistleblowers recently conducted a study in which they confidentially polled financial professionals on corporate ethics.
From Labaton Sucharow LLP:
According to the independent survey, 52% of the respondents believed that their competitors engaged in illegal or unethical behavior while 24% felt employees in their own company had engaged in similar misconduct. An astonishing 23% reported that they had observed or had first-hand knowledge of wrongdoing in the workplace and 29% believed that financial services professionals may need to engage in illegal or unethical behavior to be successful. An alarming 28% felt the industry does not put the interests of clients first and 24% admitted they would engage in insider trading if they could get away with it.
Even though 24% of the respondents said they fear retaliation, 89% said that they would be willing to report wrongdoing due to the protections and incentives offered by whistleblower programs such as the one run by the SEC.
In passing the Dodd-Frank Act on the heels of a financial crisis fueled by Wall Street corruption, Congress intended to offer far-reaching protections to those who blow the whistle. The Labaton Sucharow survey—which showed almost a 100% increase over last year in the number of respondents who have confidence in financial regulators like the SEC—demonstrates the success of such programs. POGO is disappointed that the Fifth Circuit Court eroded whistleblower protections on the basis of what is essentially a technicality when instead, we should be continuing to support and protect those who expose the misconduct that has beset our financial system.
