Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse
Razer has developed gaming mice for a while, but all have been ambidextrous. The DeathAdder breaks that habit to become the first Razer right-handed mouse. Aside from that, we quickly found out that the DeathAdder is one of the best looking and most comfortable mice on the market today.
You can read the full review here and discuss it here!
My main gripe with the Copperhead was that it required that USB legacy support be turned off in the motherboard BIOS, otherwise the mouse wouldn't be detected without unplugging/replugging it. (Not even the latest firmware, which supposedly turned the button underneath into a 'reboot' button solved allowed the mouse to be detected without being unplugged first.)
This in itself is not a major problem, but in my specific circumstance, I dual-boot XP 32 and XP 64, and I use a Logitech G15. For some reason, unless USB legacy support is enabled, the G15 will not respond during the 30 second time interval where I am supposed to choose the OS to boot.
So my question in a nutshell is this: did you have any driver/BIOS issues to speak of?
That's strange. I've had that with wireless USB products, but not wired. Greg probably won't be able to reply to this until Monday, because he doesn't have net at home (as horrible as that sounds).
He lives in the sticks.
I paid out $60 for this mouse because the copperhead I bought was so uncomfortable to use, while gaming I got cramps in my hand. Button five does NOT work when it comes to mapping a KB key or using it as a macro. Yet any windows function (Dbl click, Paste) works just fine telling me the button does work. I play Battlefield series a lot, and I map Ctrl to thumb button #5 to kneel in game, but it doesn't work. What really ticks me off is...Razer has given me zero support via the phone, or the web. They just wanted to send me another mouse after I sent mine in...a three week turn-around. I don't think the problem likes with the mouse as the button seems to function find with Windows commands assigned to it, but wont simulate any key stroke. I believe the software or firmware has issues. I think a new mouse would so the same thing, and am quit pissed off. They said they would get right back to me and its been over a month. The only good thing I have to say is...Razer finaly designed a comfortable mouse, now I just need to sinsere support.
@ Unregistered...
It's unfortunate to hear that. I have personally never had to deal with Razer's customer support because fortunately nothing of theirs that I have owned has ever crapped out. While it doesn't really help you out any at all, I hope that your an isolated incident and that this isn't the norm for their support group.
As for mapping keys to the mouse, that is something that I will look into on my own. I always program the back button to reload and the scroll wheel button to switch weapons. I will try this tonight in BF2 and see if I can reproduce the problems. While you loose all DPI settings and adjustability, have you tried using the mouse without the Razer software loaded?
This is something that I have not noticed but to be fair, haven't paid any attention too. I will test this out when I get home and see what problems, if any, I run into.
As for your G15, most motherboards that I have worked with have USB keyboard and USB mouse startup options. Can you enable one and disable the other in your BIOS or does it only give you the option to turn them both on?
Have exactely the same problem.... did you manage to solve it?
I had to asign all my shiat to the belkin n52te buttons, which all work fine in all games.
Middle mouse, button 4 and button 5 are not seen by the game. If I use non-game keys like (,) or (.) it still won't work.
COD 2 is 1.3
OS is :( vista 32 home premium.
Ben from Germany
I also have the same problem with my Razer Deathadder. Buttons 4 and 5 are not even detected in Call of Duty 4 modern warfare. That clearly rules out even attempting to bind them to anything useful like grenade or special grenade. :(
In other applications like web browsers etc. buttons 4 and 5 work just fine.
Mouse: Razer DeathAdder
OS: Vista 32 home premium
MB: Gigabyte X38-DQ6
Mouse driver: HID-compatible ??!? (found in the device manager)
Razer Driver version 1.08 /Firmware version 1.27
Could there be two drivers for the mouse? One of them being the windows standard drivers and the other Raizers drivers. Could it be possible that call of duty (and other games) go looking for the drivers in the wrong place and find the standard windows mouse drivers? I only see the HID-compatible mentioned in the device manager.
I think the problem with the Death Adder is Vista. I could map buttons 5 and 6 to macros (for World of Warcraft) just fine in XP. When I switched the same mouse, driver, and firmware to Vista, the 5 and 6 button macros no longer trigger. I updated the firmware to 1.27 and that still didn't fix the problem.
I love my MX-518..but i really feel like buying something new this yr... so it'll be tha DeathAdder!!
just got it and i have to say..Pure Awesomeness!! i am a Razer guy now! next up, Razer Megalodons!
edit: One question though...My hands get sweaty so will it spoil the Deathadder's skin!!? i hope it doesn't start shedding it!

Poll: Which Supersonic US Bomber Makes Your Heart Beat The Fastest?
1950's era Convair B-58 Hustler
I figure it's time for a poll to see which supersonic bomber from the US y'all think is the sweetest, the hottest, or just the mostest of the most. It's an easy choice for me (B-58 Hustler), but I'll add that each of these three aircraft are top-shelf awesome to me. And yeah, I know the XB-70 was never anything more than an X-plane, but you just can't can't have a poll about supersonic bombers and not include the stunning Valkyrie.
So please take a moment and vote for your favorite of these three supersonic bombers: the Convair B-58 Hustler; the North American XB-70 Valkyrie; or the Rockwell B-1 Lancer. If you're an Aardvark fan, sorry... I decided we're talking full on dedicated bombers for this poll. And really(?) - you'd pick the F-111 over any of these three hotties? Lets. Get. Real!
The poll is at the bottom of the post. Happy voting : )

FRANKFORT - The Kentucky Senate passed a bill Thursday to combat a deadly surge in heroin addiction, a trend blamed for devastating families while putting a burden on courts and police in hard-hit areas.
The measure, a mix of additional treatment for addicts and harsher punishment for higher-volume heroin dealers, cleared the Senate on a 36-0 vote.
It came on the same day that a Senate committee reviewing the measure was urged to take action by a judge, a nurse, a police chief and the father of a man who died of a heroin overdose.
The scope of the problem is statewide, but Kentucky's northernmost counties situated near Cincinnati have been especially hard hit by the rise in heroin addiction.
"Overdoses have become a daily occurrence in northern Kentucky," said Senate President Pro Tem Katie Stine, a northern Kentucky Republican and the bill's lead sponsor. "Heroin has overwhelmed our court system, jails, police departments and social service networks."
The bill now heads to the House, where the measure's leading supporter is House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Tilley, a Hopkinsville Democrat.
Gov. Steve Beshear and Attorney General Jack Conway also have urged action. Beshear noted in his recent State of the Commonwealth speech that overdose deaths involving heroin rose from 22 across Kentucky in 2011 to 170 in the first nine months of 2013.
The bill calls for tougher punishment for higher-volume heroin traffickers. They would have to serve more of their prison sentences before becoming eligible for parole.
They currently have to serve up to one-fifth of their sentences before reaching parole eligibility. The bill would require them to serve at least half their sentences before becoming parole eligible.
Campbell District Judge Karen Thomas said heroin addiction is "a true crisis" in her part of northern Kentucky, and she urged tough action against dealers.
"If we don't cut the head off that snake, deal with that trafficking issue, we will be inundated with this problem for quite a long time," Thomas told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday.
On the treatment side, the bill would require the Kentucky Medicaid program to pay for a range of substance-abuse treatment. It also would direct that part of the money saved from the state's 2011 corrections reform law be used to fund treatment and anti-drug education programs.
The bill also seeks to increase the availability of a drug that can help reverse the effects of heroin overdoses.

Okay, so I got through most of the readme, but failed on the unzip part. Just how much space do we need on the sdcard?? I have 10Gb free, and ran out of space.
Not sure what is going on there. Installed the ARM build on my xoom no problems at all. Not sure exactly how much space it took up. However, just looked at my used / available space and it seems as though BT5 ARM once extracted takes up about 4GB give or take. I do have to say it took a while to extract the .img file. I would try again if I were you. Hope this helps you out a bit.
Having the same problem here too.
/mnt/sdcard/ 12.78GB/10.44GB free
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ 7.39GB/ 7.25GB free
followed install instructions and when trying to gunzip img file I get:
Tried moving the file to external sd and gunzip and I get the same error.Code:
# gunzip bt5.img.gz
gunzip bt5.img.gz
gunzip: write: File too large
gunzip: error inflating
Gunziped the img on my PC and then try moving to sd card with windows explorer and I get:
Going to try one or two other things.Code:
The file bt5.img is to large for the destination file system.
On my device /mnt/sdcard/ is formatted FAT32.
FAT32 has a file size limit of 4GB.
So what now?
Samsung Vibrant
Trigger 3.2 ROM (Froyo 2.2)
TigersBlood 3.22 kernal
Well it all depends what filesystem you are trying to extract the compressed gzip to. For instance if it is a FAT partition, it will not support files over 4GB. Therefore you may have to re-partition your sdcard to an ext3 partition.
Will arm version work on Nokia 5800 as it have ARM 11 3**MHz processor....
probably not. The Xoom and atrix have a dual core 1MHz processor..and it runs "ok" on them. My feeling is that anything less will be annoying.
So how does one go about installing this to a tablet (such as an ePad or other such android device)? Ive googled it and havent come up with much other than an old debian install guide that isnt even available anymore. Once you have a rooted Froyo device, how do you install or run this from your SD card? Sorry if these are noobish questions, but id like to get some more info before I go out and buy one of these devices (I find the idea of having such a portable device able to run backtrack very appealing).
Installing BT5 on an Android device is similar to installing Ubuntu on an Android as detailed on Androlinux.
The basic install steps are detailed in the README included in the BT5-GNOME-ARM download. I suggest you go ahead and download it and take a look.
Ended up using rich copy from microsoft to copy the 5gb file to the sd card. Getting errors with the bootbt script. I'm thinking the Atrix is different enough from the Doom to cause problems.

Reviews are on a 5 star scale.
Altars – 'Paramnesia' (Nuclear Winter)
Nuclear Winter Records
Genre: Death Metal
Southern Australian death metallers Altars have unleashed their first full-length in the form of Paramnesia. It walks the line between old-school death metal foulness and more sleek, modern production values. Their sound gestures towards early Morbid Angel and more recent Immolation, but without mimicry; they have a firm handle on their sound and a strong, confident aesthetic.
What keeps Paramnesia from being excellent, however, is frankly mediocre songwriting that does not rise to the level of Altars' sound. The longer material tends to drag; the three longest songs on the record run over 25 minutes, and tend to drift and dilute more than strike. The shorter the tracks, the more successful the songs tend to be. With a much harsher eye towards editing and more experience, Altars could craft and great album. Paramnesia is merely okay.
Rating: 2.5
(Natalie Zed)
Cathexis – 'Shades Of Apocalypse' (Mulligore)
Mulligore Production
Genre: Death Metal
The tech death band Cathexis hail from Austin, Texas. Their debut album is Shades Of Apocalypse, which has plenty of technical wizardry, but also good old fashioned riffs and grooves.
Pinch harmonics are a tad over-used, but Cathexis vary the tempo and intensity enough to keep things interesting. The arrangements are complex at times, but a memorable riff is never far away. The vocals are typical cookie-monster style, and a little high in the mix. Black metal style rasps make an appearance on "Dethroned By The Pernicious," adding an ominous touch. Shades Of Apocalypse is a promising debut, and the band already has a follow-up set for release later this year.
Rating; 3
(Chad Bowar)
Dark Design – 'Prey For The Future' (Heaven and Hell)
Heaven and Hell Records
Genre: Progressive Power Metal
Formed in 2010, Dark Design unleash their debut record Prey for the Future. The band's sound is steeped in '80s speed and progressive metal. There are influences of early Fates Warning, Toxik and Omen throughout the release. The production is a tad harsh, especially on the snare drum and guitar tones.
The record contains blazing guitar leads that are featured on every track. There is a clear Iron Maiden influence in the guitar playing as well. Vocalist Andrew Bertrand adds a nice bit of gravel to his melodic phrasing and is reminiscent of early Jon Oliva of Savatage. When Dark Design up the tempo like on the title track, "Dragonmount" and "Abiding Contempt," they are at their best.

If I hadnt read it in the Wall Street Journal Id be as skeptical as Techdirt, but it appears Google might be interested in a company that deploys wifi-equipped balloons.
OK, let that sink in.
Yes, a company that attaches $1500 of wireless technology to $50 balloons, uses farmers to release them, watches them burst after 24 hours then, get this, little parachutes bring the transmitters safely back to earth!
Say it with me"Are You Kidding Me?"
It sounds so absurd that I really dont know where to start. Seriously, Im lost for words. Is it April Fools already?
Go and read the WSJ piece then come back and let me know what you think about it.

Japans leading mobile operator by subscribers NTT DoCoMo has revealed it is cutting its monthly mobile tariffs in a bid to match rivals KDDI and Softbank Mobile, as the domestic mobile price war begins to intensify. DoCoMo still controls roughly half the market but has seen its share whittled away by its rivals in the past year. This month, KDDI unveiled a JPY980 (USD9.12) per month plan to compete with number three player Softbank, which has won more subscribers than either of its larger rivals since April 2007 on the back of its low-price strategy and aggressive advertising campaigns. Reuters reports that DoCoMo is dropping its lowest tariff plan by nearly 7% to JPY980 from July to match the competition.

Litvak Jewish art gets first global show after almost a century
By Jonathan Saul
LONDON (Reuters) - Scenes from Jerusalem and 1920s Paris are among the rare works showcasing Lithuania's Jewish artists from the last century that are going on show as a collection abroad for the first time.
Lithuania, whose borders before World War 1 included parts of modern Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Russia and Latvia, was a major heartland of European Jewry, famed for its talmudical academies and bookish Jews known as Litvaks.
Looking to leave their traditional surroundings and soak up the creative atmosphere, many Litvak artists, including world-renowned painter Marc Chagall, converged on Paris at that time.
The result was a unique series of works, which became known as the Ecole de Paris, embracing multiple styles including post-impressionism, cubism and futurism. The Litvak artists also fused romantic and melancholic visions of their former Jewish small towns, known as Shtetls, into their work.
Visitors in London now have the chance to see some of the paintings from artists including Emmanuel Mane-Katz, Max Band, Pinchus Kremegne and Theo Tobiasse.
The works, being shown at Lithuania's embassy in London, were acquired mainly from private collections and auctions via the Vilnius-based Lewben Art Foundation, which had previously exhibited them in Lithuania.
The exhibition will move to Johannesburg in March and will include works by other artists including Chagall. South Africa became a home for Litvaks fleeing persecution in the 19th and 20th centuries. Other Litvaks emigrated to countries including Britain and the United States.
"The Lithuanian government has been putting a lot of effort into the preservation and promotion of the legacy of Lithuanian Jews," Lithuania's Vice Minister of Culture Romas Jarockis said on a visit to London last week. "The Litvak heritage is an integral part of Lithuanian culture." Continued...

alternator gm
I have a 1982 fire bird that i stuck a 305 /700r4 into and left everything on the engine stock- distributor, coil, etc..is my alternator overcharging at high rpm's ??? At idle my gage reads 13. roughly and at 1200 rpm and over the gage reads 15 volts .Is there a large power drain somewhere or is the alternator done ...or is that normal for the voltage output to go up at higher rpm's
Doc here,
While 15 volts IS a tad high, This could be caused by a few things..
The Normal Charge "Window" is 13.95 to 14.4 Volts. Below and above that indicates a problem OR future problem.
The Panel Instrument is NOT as sophisticated as a multi meter OR DVOM, To it, Volts is Volts..don't care whether it's DC or AC volts..
So in fact if you do a volt check at the battery with a DVOM, Set for DCV, V X 20 or higher, you may only actually see 11 volts DC..Not enough to top off the battery, AND support the system. The rest is AC..not good for anything but Electronic Damage. A Rebuild Kit will cure this problem as well.
Be sure all your connections are TIGHT, well bonded (use star and lock washers, and burnish off all paint from connection/ground surfaces) and The wire is of proper gauge (10 ga on the output, and ground, 12 or 14 on the top plug wires)
IF you decide to rebuild the alternator, Post back , Let me know, I'll give you step by step instructions on how to do it..
dear doc
Thanks for the input i think I'll rebuild it and see where i stand at least I'll know from square one where the prob is coming from .....I Appreciate your offer SIR for the diagram and i thank u greatly for your advice not to mention your knowledge..
i am one of the apparently few who can still rebuild an (old)alternator(no disrespect intended sir) or should i just refer to u as doc instead of sir??? sense you have obviously been around the game longer than I. Your knolage is the base for the next generation don't forget!!!! even if it takes awhile fore them to listen they will still thank you later ...as Do I ....omega
Doc is just fine..
Last time anybody called me Sir, I was FORCED to wear REALLY UGLY Green Cloths, Get really BAD Haircuts, and Guy's were always raising their right hand up in the air at me..and people were shooting at me...
That or I thought my FATHER had just walked into the room..
And Yup, Olde Doc is high mileage..been around rods the north side of 40 years..
Back when you could actually get a 5 window Deuce Coupe at the Wrecking yard, and any parts needed, For $50 Fazools, Chop and Channel it, Custom paint it, toss in a "built to the hilt" 327 4 speed, Olds rear end, .. All on a Chevron Pump Jockey's Salary..(which wouldn't Fill the tank by today's standards) and do it VERY quickly..( BTW, I just described my FIRST "Barely" street rod..) Back in the "Dark ages"..
Geeze, My FIRST Driver's license was etched in Papyrus, in hieroglyphics,..had a Picture that was painted on from animal fat dye..by a Scribe..(actually it WAS paper and Black and white photo..When was the LAST time anybody saw one of those?)...
Heck, My birth Certificate is An artifact, that can only be verified by radio~Carbon dating..
Last Birthday I had, required the Fire Department standing by, and a Burn permit for when we lit the candles..and a had to be done in a wind tunnel to so as to blow them all out after...You needed a fire suit to even get close to the cake..
Didn't mean to imply that you Couldn't rebuild an alternator..I approach All my answers as If (and a lot are) the person is new to the task..so as to get a better Idea of what's involved to them..Since I haven't a clue as to their Tools or skill levels..and it makes it easier for them for the most part, to ask questions back when they get stumped..or con~Fuzzed..
Passing the "Baton" is what it's all about..If Good Rodding is to survive from generation to generation..Personally I have been involved with projects with lots of younguns' on their first projects ..and it never ceases to amaze me how much they "Soak up" by just working with them.. it's works the same way for me..The Kids have a lot to offer also, and I learn from them..
In Fact, I'm in the middle of one now, with my 17 year old Nephew And his dad (My Bro..) his ( My Nephew's) Very First project..We Will be sticking a "Well Built" 383 in his truck over the summer..
Dad and Unc sat there and drank Beer & Sodas, gave advise during the build, helped him build a Great tool box, and guided him on part selection..Kept him clear of all the Building "Traps", He Did all the hands on work..Now there is no stopping him! Planning project 2 already..
Thanks For your Compliments..

Guido Fawkes exclusive: Eastleigh by-election a two-horse race (but my money is on the Lib Dems)
Political firestarter Guido Fawkes gives his opinion on the Eastleigh by-election for the Paddy Power Blog
When Liberal Democrat MP Chris Huhne resigned his Eastleigh seat after pleading guilty to conspiracy to perverting the course of justice you would naturally expect his party to suffer as a result. Counter-intuitively the Lib Dems opened the betting as favourites, this was partly because private polling before his resignation had shown that even if Huhne resigned, his party would still lead in the polls locally. Eastleigh has an overwhelming number of Lib Dem local councillors and the party has held the seat for two decades – a strong starting position.
The Lib Dems called the writ for the election as soon as was decent, hoping that a quick election campaign would capitalise on their strong local presence and deprive their opponents of time to organise. Just as the writ was called a poll commissioned by Tory billionaire Lord Ashcroft was released showing the Conservatives ahead, had the Lib Dems mis-calculated the kick-back against their party as a result of Chris Huhne's lying?
Pretty soon another poll was published showing the Lib Dems ahead, the Tories a little behind with UKIP and Labour scrapping at the back for fourth place – perhaps explaining why UKIP leader Nigel Farage chose not to run in Eastleigh. On the ground canvass returns and anecdotal evidence suggested that the Lib Dems might even see their majority increased. The Lib Dems had strength in numbers, local knowledge and were putting their famed by-election winning fighting machine into action. The Tory candidate had made a few unfortunate comments with which her opponents were bashing her. Guido put his money on the Lib Dems at this point – it never pays to bet against the pollsters.
Rennard could undo the Lib Dems
Ironically it could be that the former maestro of that by-election winning machine, Chris Rennard, could undo the Lib Dems. Last week Cathy Newman on Channel 4 News exposed the now Lord Rennard with a string of allegations from women against him. The explosive report put what had long been rumoured into the public domain and onto front pages. The timing could not have been worse for the Lib Dems – will this turn away voters? If the issue gets cut-through with the public and women voters in particular, could it undermine the Lib Dem's chances in Eastleigh?
Pollsters Survation released a poll this weekend giving the Tories a 5 percentage point lead – the poll was carried out just as the Rennard sex scandal was getting the maximum of publicity. The Eastleigh by-election is now definitely a two-horse race.
Local polling is far more difficult to get right than national polling because the sample sizes are smaller and more difficult to make representative, nevertheless experience tells Guido that betting against the data can be expensive. We have had four polls and they have forecast wins for both the Tories and the Lib Dems – not much help.
For now Guido's money remains on the Lib Dems winning because they have the superior ground forces in that they have more local troops with the local knowledge required to get out the vote. If however another poll came out putting the Tories ahead, I would lay my bet and switch to the blues. With two days to go, my tip is to stick with the yellows.

Troubled Silver Spring Transit Center Could Open Next Year
ROCKVILLE, Md. —
The Silver Spring Transit Center, years behind schedule and about $15 million over budget, finally may be ready to open to the public next year after additional repair work, Montgomery County, Md. officials announced on Tuesday.
"The crack sealing and repair is underway right now," said David Dise, the top county official overseeing the completion of the transit hub plagued by structural problems connected to its design and construction. Dise, who heads the county's department of general services, said a special concrete overlay cannot be completed until the spring when the weather is warm enough again.
"The overlay's purpose is to provide a consistent cover over the reinforcement both in the post-tensioning cables and steel reinforcing that is embedded in the slabs. The application of the overlay cannot be done in the winter time," Dise said.
The county had planned to finish the overlay this year, but ran into delays.
"There were delays in getting the permitting drawings prepared by the design engineer. There was an extensive effort even before that to ensure the material that was selected – in this case latex-modified concrete – was the right material to use," Dise said.
Dise, flanked by county attorneys, testified before the county council in the latest public update on progress in completing the concrete eyesore lying dormant in downtown Silver Spring, a planned transit hub that will connect commuters via Metrorail and bus, MARC, Amtrak, and taxis. He detailed ongoing efforts to repair extensive cracks in concrete and strengthen beams and joists so the transit center can handle the weight of commuter buses.
When asked if the public will be able to trust the transit center will be safe, Dise responded, "It will absolutely be safe. We know that it already handles its own weight and it already survived an earthquake. What we are doing right now is ensuring it will stand up under operational stresses."
Predicting a completion date may be a trickier proposition than forecasting safe operations, given the repeated delays the county and contractors have encountered over the five years since breaking ground. Dise said the project may be ready to hand to Metro in April or May, and then the transit authority would have 30 days to complete its inspection and open the Silver Spring Transit Center to the public.
Earlier this year, Metro had threatened to pull out of the project, citing concerns about excessive long-term maintenance costs related to structural problems. But a Metro official on Tuesday sounded optimistic the transit authority would be willing to accept the transit center, provided it is ready to go.
"The objective is to provide any changes, any warrantees, any assurances to our board of directors that WMATA would not be taking on extraordinary costs above and beyond what WMATA had intended all along," said Metro's Charlie Scott to the county council.
Dise insisted the county would seek to recover the costs of the ongoing remediation work from its contractors. Parsons Brinckerhoff performed the design, Foulger Pratt was the lead construction contractor.
When asked how Parsons Brinckerhoff could have designed a faulty structure, Dise said, "That is a question we have asked Parsons Brinckerhoff --how this could have occurred? -- and that is an ongoing question. They have given us any number of answers."
Foulger Pratt has claimed it simply followed the designs it was given when pouring the transit center's concrete. A Foulger Pratt spokeswoman declined to comment on Tuesday's proceedings before the county council.

Get the heck out of Winterpeg and its windchills in the minus-30s.
That's one of the priorities on Dennis Nash's list as he celebrates winning more than $8-million on the Dec. 28 Lotto 649.
The Winnipeg man's was one of two tickets to share in the more than $16-million win – the other was sold in Calgary.
Nash says he hasn't made any big plans yet, but he'd like to pay off some bills and take a trip somewhere warm.
He says he'll also be helping out some close family and friends.
Nash says he won playing his usual collection of important numbers and dates that his father used to play.
He says he bought the ticket that morning and before he went to bed, he called the Winnipeg winning numbers telephone line to check them.
"The first three sounded familiar," he recalled. "Then I started comparing and realized that the first five numbers matched."
That's happened before, when he won about $2,200 last February.
"Then out of the corner of my eye, I saw the sixth number matched, too. I couldn't believe it!"
Initially, Nash said that he was calm. But he didn't think he had read his ticket correctly, so he decided to call a family member.
When they looked it up online and confirmed it was a winner, Nash said he finally started to get excited.Report Typo/Error

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Two
traditionally nationally-ranked opponents and nine television
matches highlight the Northern Arizona volleyball schedule for
2009, which also includes the annual Fiesta Bowl Tournament in
Flagstaff on Sept. 11-12.
Craig Choate returns for his second year as head coach of the program after leading last year's team to its best record in seven years. Choate has put together a tougher early season schedule than the one that saw the Lumberjacks go 8-1 to begin last season, but believes the team will be better for it.
"The schedule is different this year in a few ways," said Choate, "but most notably it's that every team but one ended last season with a higher ranking in the RPI than we did. Our toughness in the schedule has increased three or four-fold."
The NAU TV Services Department is once again televising a majority of the volleyball matches. All nine of the broadcasts will be available on Dish Network 9411 (Universityhouse), and additional stations such as Fox College Sports or FSN Arizona will be announced at a later date. All three of NAU's Fiesta Bowl Tournament matches will be televised, along with six of the eight home Big Sky Conference contests.
"I hadn't been on TV before I came here, and it's fabulous for us," said Choate. "I can't tell you how many people told us they watched matches last year, and it helps us get out there in the recruiting world. I think it does nothing but good for the program and for NAU to get us out there."
NAU begins the season at the Boise State Bronco Invitational where the Lumberjacks will face Cal State Northridge and Tulsa along with host Boise State. "I have a pretty good rivalry with the Northridge coach Jeff Stork who was a gold medal setter in the '88 Olympics," says Choate. "He and I have faced each other three times in the past and they've all gone to five sets so that's kind of fun."
The Lumberjacks will then head to Malibu to take on Pepperdine as part of the USC Tournament. Over the following two days they will also face Florida Gulf Coast and USC in Los Angeles.
The USC Trojans were ranked 13th nationally in the final poll from last year, while Pepperdine was ranked during the season and was the third team receiving votes in the final poll.
"Of course, USC will start the season as a ranked team," said Choate, "and Pepperdine will probably start the season as a ranked team. I think it has been quite a few years since this program has played any ranked teams. It's going to be a lot harder to bring home tournament championships than it was last year. I wanted to play those teams because we have such a young team, and I want them to see what the elite looks like so they know what it is we're trying to become. If they never see it, they don't have an idea of what we're striving for."
NAU will host the 17th annual Fiesta Bowl Tournament on its home court in September, and will be looking to defend its title after going a perfect 3-0 last year.
"The Fiesta Bowl was fabulous last year," said Choate. "They treated us better than I've ever been treated at a tournament. They really did a nice job and I was very impressed. The caliber of the teams participating this year will make it a tougher tournament than last year."
The Big Sky slate begins for the Lumberjacks on Sept. 17 and 19 with Idaho State and Weber State coming to Flagstaff. The schedule is home-heavy early on with five of the first eight in NAU's Rolle Activity Center, while five of the final eight league matches will be on the road including the last three straight.
The Big Sky Tournament will have only four berths this year, down from six in previous years, making it tougher for teams to advance to the postseason. "We're a young team and it will be a challenge to earn a spot at the tournament," said Choate, "but it's always our goal to do that."

Johnson punishes Judah!
By Jason Kotar at ringside
Former light heavyweight world champion Glen Johnson (49-12-2, 33 KOs) avenged a controversial 2003 draw against Daniel Judah (23-4-3, 10 KOs) with a dominating ten round unanimous decision on Friday night at the Seminole Hard Rock LIVE Arena in Hollywood, Florida. Risking his lofty WBC #2, WBA #3, IBF #5, WBO #3 ratings, Johnson dropped Judah with a big right hand at the end of round one, and punished Judah the rest of the way, winning clearly 99-89, 99-90, 99-90.
In a great action fight, local welterweight Antwone Smith (15-1-1, 8 KOs) upset previously unbeaten Norberto Gonzalez (16-1, 12 KOs), 78-74 on all cards. While on the attack in round two, the highly regarded Gonzalez was dropped by a right hand counter from Smith. Gonzalez was cut over the left eye by another right in round three and Smith outworked him down the stretch.
Junior welterweight Jesus Pabon (14-1, 8 KOs) won a six round unanimous decision over Lenin Arroyo (20-9-1, 4 KOs). The southpaw Pabon was credited with two knockdowns while Arroyo had two points deducted for low blows. Scores were 60-51, 59-51 and 57-53.
Unbeaten jr welterweight prospect Danny O'Connor (4-0, 1 KO) looked good in pounding out a four round majority decision over Jamar Saunders (2-2-1, 1 KO). Scores were 40-36, 40-36, and a bizarre 38-38.
In a wild swinging middleweight fight , Eli Augustama (3-0, 2 KOs) won a majority decision over a tough William Deet (2-8, 1 KO). Although there were no knockdowns, the action was steady until the final bell. The scorecards read 39-37, 39-37 and 38-38.
Heavyweight Henry Fuentes (8-0, 5 KOs) remained perfect with a TKO over Samuel Brown (5-5-2). The Cuban southpaw Fuentes scored two knockdowns in the fight, forcing the referee to stop the action at 2:03 of the third round.
Russian Heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov (3-0, 3 KOs) impressed with a first round knockout of an outmatched Maurice Winslow (3-8-1, 3 KOs). The referee called a halt to the fight at 1:13 of the first round.
Russian Welterweight Khabib Alakhuerdiev (9-0, 4 KOs) scored a TKO over Richard Pitt (5-10, 1 KO), knocking him down three times in the first round. The official time was 2:19.

It's like the long-delayed return of a plague we were sure had taken its last victims: the debate over the Penguin Anthology of Twentieth-Century American Poetry has risen, zombie-like. Just a few days ago, the Poetry Foundation announced its list of prizewinners for the best poems, essays, and reviews printed in its page in the last volume-year. In particular, Michael Robbins's pithy dissection of Paul Hoover's Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology, entitled "Ripostes," caught my eye—partly because I couldn't believe I'd missed it, and partly because pretty much any expository piece by Robbins is certain to be interesting, if not altogether charitable, coming as it is from a self-described "reactionary," the printed equivalent of your brilliant poet-friend after a few whiskeys have sandpapered down the decorum. His is a critical tendency that rubs some people the wrong way, but is perhaps something we should be grateful for, especially when writing communities get their dodo-feathers ruffled when someone has the gall to list MFA programs based on pragmatic attributes (as if us serfs hoping to climb the ladder of Verse-Land's feudalism might persist on the manna of lyric poetry alone), complain about the literary equivalent of logrolling that sustains the irritating cottage industries of blurbing and retweeting (an alarmist headline about non-news that somehow became news), or even write a relatively harsh review (see William Giraldi's routing of Alix Ohlin for proof that doing the impossible is indeed possible, if not recommendable for one's popularity in the blogosphere). In "Ripostes," true to form, Robbins takes a pair of rusty scissors to Hoover's anthology and, for the most part, holds the anesthesia.
The idea of seizing this hairiest of seven-headed beasts—the anthology, that chimera of poetry and publishing—by its twenty-eight horns gives me shivers, I have to admit: not just the infinite, silent acts of exclusion the anthology depends on for its existence as object and product, but its privileged status as a piece of ideological-historical propaganda, an artifact that usurps a multiplicity of narratives to squat, fat and happy in the here-and-now, with the pretension of posing as our singular past. So I had to hold onto my desk as I read Robbins's piece, uncertain if I would make it all the way through. It'd been so long since Vendler's review of Dove's Penguin Anthology of Twentieth-Century American Poetry, and the latter's prolix response to that review (a friend said it better than I could: it proves all of Vendler's points—quod erat demonstrandum!), that I'd almost forgotten whose side I was on. No one's, really: first Vendler's, then Dove's, then Vendler's again, I'd oscillated between thinking that the anthology was an ideal forum for the remediation of the writing world's inequalities to thinking that, well, no, it wasn't, that maybe the place to settle disputes about representation was elsewhere. In the end, without too much thought, I think I sided with Vendler, my reasons being that if you were going to take up the unfortunately prestigious role of crafting the next chapter of the canon as such, you can't have the cake of socially-conscious sainthood and eat it too. That Dove seemed to try for this without preemptively answering to some debilitating criticisms she had to have known where coming—why does Tolson have more pages than Stevens, again?—irked me: her selection was a too-easy switcheroo that made no profound or, really, any attempt to articulate just why it was that, say, a titan like James Merrill only gets one poem. Like Vendler, "I wish Dove had directly addressed the hard questions of choice in her breezy chronological introduction, with its uneasy mix of potted history (in a nod to 'context') and peculiar judgments," and not given her aesthetic preferences without answering for them or, even worse, thinking she would have to—or should have to—answer for them, as seems to be the case.
This assumes that people who want to alter the canon, whatever it is (I don't deny its existence, just claim that its attributes vary), have to justify their arguments against the arguments of the canon, which some might see as unfair. I don't. It's how any alteration to the dominant whatever unfolds. Against centuries of critical judgment, however ideologically, racially, or politically informed, the burden of proof lies with the renegade. In the end, this is a good thing; nothing gets changed willy-nilly, and if there are any potent objections to the order of things, which of course there are, then the weight of the evidence of those objections can bring that order under scrutiny. It's not enough to say, I just think these poets are more important. You have to have a reason. And you have to have a response for those who, defending the status quo, will say you're wrong. To do otherwise is naivety at best and flippancy, or arrogance, at worst. Positive acts in the service of canon-editing are good, but negative ones are good too, and often more honest and therefore in the service of positive acts later: negative approaches let proposed changes be defined against something, so we can see what it is they're changing, what it is they're against. The Canon stays the Canon, and we keep it that way so we know who the enemy is. Dressing up a sea change as the status quo does the sea change no good and the status quo no damage.
There's much in Vendler's review and Dove's response I won't touch, namely the accusations of race-mongering on either side, but despite whatever antipathies Vendler nursed while reviewing the anthology, she was right about one thing: the abomination of the introduction, with its pat summaries and tin-eared sentences. Perhaps its most inexcusable aspect is its progress narrative—"Manifest Destiny as poetic conquest" is how Vendler puts it—that runs like a steel rod through its frail backbone. After its heyday in the east, poetry (you'd almost think it a person!) went west to a "brave new world," a "hardscrabble" one, as though the bounty of poetry were more geographical than imaginative. For all of Dove's protestations against Vendler—the charges that her review was condescending, manipulative, somehow dishonest, and bore ill and perhaps racist intent—it's hard to see how Dove's sing-along history is any less offensive, with its caricatures of whole movements as set pieces and stage devices for what amounts to little more than a 30-second ad spot for Twentieth-Century American Poetry®. Maybe this isn't wholly Dove's fault; maybe Vendler is right, and more forgiving than she knows, when she says that this type of language (the "restricted vocabulary" that Dove takes as a slur) just might be what it takes to "sell" poetry to audiences now, and that Dove is out of her element writing essays. But Dove put her name on it and, in her response to Vendler, defends it. What's more, when it comes to the Harlem Renaissance, she writes that "[black artists] felt empowered to explore all aspects of their humanity, no longer locked into the roles of militant or minstrel," though this paves over the social and sexual schisms in its encasing milieu. Beneath the "empowering" consciousness of the Harlem Renaissance lurked social faults, political animosities, and poems just as heinous as whatever they purported to replace. If Vendler has to answer to her ostensible racism in critiquing the Penguin anthology, or in her critical work more generally, then Dove must at least answer to her inclusion of Amiri Baraka's "Black Art," which exhibits, to whatever end—and on this point, as to whether or not the poem might be read as political catharsis or parody or even sound, we're left in the dark—blatantly anti-Semitic commitments. And she doesn't.
Going off Robbins's description, Hoover's introduction sounds about as platitudinous as Dove's, but his situation is largely different. Racial animus doesn't hang so explicitly over complaints with Postmodern American Poetry: A Norton Anthology, though of course that doesn't mean it's not there. (It's always there, though sometimes it takes sharp reviewers like Craig Santos Perez, who called out the absence of Native American, Chicano, Latino, and writers of divers ethnicities from Cole Swensen and David St. John's anthology American Hybrid, to point them out.) Still, the peculiarly ad hominem and just generally nasty exchange over race is quieter here, and though its faintness indicates a larger problem with this anthology's factory and its audience, it nonetheless allows unnoticed facets of the anthologies to come into clearer focus. We can get a better glimpse of the sort of in-group tomfoolery that goes into anthology-making today—a much greater number, presumably, of authors in Postmodern American Poetry being alive now than those in the Penguin—with the former edition under our microscope than the latter. As Robbins shows, it ain't pretty, and mostly when it comes to the "soi-disant," a descriptor he tags to the "avant-garde" twice in his review, and how they style their soi:
…[I]t is closer to the truth to say that this anthology, and others like it, have created the "other traditions" of "postmodern American poetry," "avant-garde poetry," "outsider poetry," "new American poetry," and the like. If the avant-garde historically represents a struggle against the institutional forms of cultural domination (in the case of "dominant and received modes of poetry," these must include the major journals, English and creative writing departments, and publishing houses), what must we conclude about an "avant-garde" that is completely absorbed by and into those very institutions?
His prosecution gets more specific, and more robust, when he says that
insofar as the "postmodern American poets" share an aesthetic, it has become the dominant one, as a careful reading of the most prestigious journals and MFA workshops reveals.
Unfortunately this gives credence to some conspiracy theorists with near-pathological denials about the existence of anything even remotely resembling a "mainstream" or "quietist," as Ron Silliman would put it, tradition. But that's a caveat, and not a rejection, of Robbins's sad but true assertion. His specificity on this count doesn't wane; perhaps more damning than this litmus-test of swaths of MFA programs, journals, and academic institutions is his picture of these "postmodern" poets as the professorial equivalents of aging hipsters, "in love with their image of themselves as perennial outsiders," even as their agonistics fade to complacency. I can't agree with Robbins when he writes that "today's 'mainstream' is a construction of today's soi-disant 'avant-garde,'" if only because that 'mainstream' construction is but one beam of the termite-infested house, one straw man in a whole ready-to-burn forest whose seeds have been sown by many different hands. If the postmodernists' contention is, however, that there are other popular (though with vastly different audiences, demographically speaking) avenues of poetic creation and divulgence—the one that seems to really push their buttons being typified by an interest in the "lyric I," "epiphany," ideas of "accurate representation," "beauty," "truth," and "emotion," to name a few—this seems neither radical nor disputable. To return to my assessment of what I find to be Robbins's more damning critique, the mark of the transition from activism to apathy, from commitment to indifference (or to different commitments, more having to do with the sundry proprieties of academe), is publishing under the sign of W.W. Norton & Company. It does indeed require "embarrassing contortions" to maintain one's outsider-status when one's backed by the sugar daddy of poetic supremacy, much like your uncle getting up at six in the morning so he can have his mohawk ready before he heads to the office.
If Robbins is right about most of this, as I think he probably is, then "talk of its [the work of the postmodernists'] oppositional value"—mostly talk by and for poets working under that banner—"is wishful thinking. Or, more precisely, it is ideology." I don't mean to make this meditation a punching bag for Robbins's characterization of the poets in Hoover's anthology, which has its own pitfalls, but—ouch. How can one move past this, the frustrating and perhaps inevitable realization that a counter-insurgency to "dominant"/"mainstream" aesthetics and ideologies has itself, in virtue of its attractiveness to relatively intelligent people, become ideological, dominant, and mainstream in its own right? We could, to start, note the massive overlap of authors between Dove's and Hoover's editions; we could highlight the damage this does to any claim to subversion on Hoover's part. But does this observation—even if it gets made by people like Hoover, which, reliably, it never does—cleanse any sins?
I don't have a good answer, at least not a positive one. But I made the case for the value of negative proposals before, and I'll make it again: we need to get rid of the anthology. More precisely: we need to destroy—not rehabilitate—our concept of what it is, what it represents, and not only what it represents, but the motives that drive this notion of representation into existence. We won't do this, of course; no one will, not even Language Poets like Ron Silliman whose commitments to apparently socially-aware formal structures permeate, so we're made to think, their entire corpuses. The addiction to the material object of the book—its size, its physicality, its persuasive sense that what it contains is, in a sense, all that needs to be contained or read, what one might call its capacity to "bookend" knowledge—is just too strong. To quote secondhand an email from Oren Izenberg, author of Being Numerous, to Robbins, "such anthologies are bad literary history and facilitate bad poetic pedagogy." By turning the avant-garde into a "walled garden," they end up "relieving people of reading" as much or more than "giving people things to read." "Considered as tools for writers," he says, "they turn the narrow-minded past they (falsely) describe into a (true) description of the present."
I'll return to Izenberg in a moment, but first I want to contest a likely interpretation of what I've said above. Am I arguing that anthologies are a necessary evil? Not necessarily. I can imagine a world without anthologies, but it's a world without any poets or, for that matter, any humans. We need something to, if not lay down the aesthetic law, give us the impression that our gossipier, clubbier instincts aren't just gossipy and clubby. To paraphrase James Madison in his Federalist Papers on an unrelated topic: if men were angels, we wouldn't need government; if government were angels, we wouldn't need internal or external controls on it. Swap in the poetic variable and you might get something like this: if more poets and readers were persistent enough to seek out and read poetry not put out by big-five publishing houses and/or The New Yorker, we wouldn't need anthologies; if more anthologies were open to publishing poets who haven't been published by the big-five publishers, hordes of small-press outfits (yes, this includes "avant-garde" ones) that behave like them, or The New Yorker, we wouldn't need people like me and Robbins to keep on carping. At the end of the day, though, I don't want to class anthologies with death and taxes. It's possible, after all, to imagine a world in which the pomp and circumstance that greets pretentious failures like those of Dove and Hoover is replaced by indifference or, even better, laughter; anything besides the pious rage that takes such publications as cues for new aesthetic Crusades. (If a copy of The Penguin Anthology of 20th-Century American Poetry falls off its plastic display stand at Barnes & Noble and no one's around to hear it thud against the corporate-carpet floor, does it still exercise cultural hegemony?)
It might be helpful to ask, in fairness and good faith, why one would want to keep the anthology as an apparatus, ignoring the appeals for its retention from those it already serves. Why would one want to be in an anthology? For one, the benefit of exposure, and to obtain the reputational currency necessary to join the poetic aristocracy, however base and boring a goal that is. Why would one want to edit an anthology? Ideally, to provide a lattice for the soft shoots of an infant aesthetic—to get things going. Groups that haven't had much poetic representation—which, as Robbins continually cites, the "postmodern" "avant-garde" does not count as—may find an anthology a solidifying step toward edifying the public and potential readers. But this is idealistic. Anthologies and canon-makers are at their most insidious when they pump out their anthologies as "recollections," when they stake particular—and often revisionary—claims on history. Though we can surely differentiate between these two modes, it'd be hard to argue that we see the former more than the latter. Most anthologies, it seems to me, are backwards-looking; they posit a document of something that was, is, or is at least busy becoming. Very, very few anthologies, no matter how "new" the writers they contain, are going to take real leaps of faith and publish writers they know little about, whose aesthetics are unpredictable, or whose allegiances are undetermined or indeterminate. Very few anthologies are going to hypothesize. Most, then, make cases not against "the" or "a" status quo but offer mere substitutions for the current status quo's slots. This is a very different thing from taking palpable risks on new writers, though many anthologies pretend to do exactly this, often as a marketing scheme. At the heart of my difficulty with anthologies is the realization, by no means new, that they are, like encyclopedias, somebody else's interpretation of primary and secondary sources. When a colleague of mine asked a Wikipedia representative if he'd fail a student for citing Wikipedia, the rep said he'd fail a student for citing any encyclopedia. As much as I rely on encyclopedias as sources for sources, and as much as I'd like to believe in a board of editorial übermenschen capable of Rolodexing the archives for us, I can appreciate the saliency of his point.
Thinking forward to positive models, what to do if we want to—or if we even can—get over our Nortoniphilia? It may be practically impossible, but that doesn't mean ideas can't be entertained. First, an attempt to understand more lucidly what's gone wrong with the anthology as we know it. The problem is that its modus operandi, its method, is reduction: it shows the world in a grain of sand and eternity in an hour, but in a bad way. These aesthetic CliffsNotes, Dove's and Hoover's included, are usually prefaced by a trotting-out of the provisos and qualifications that good taste requires—the claim that every anthology is a representation of the editor's aesthetic inclinations, for instance, as if this weren't blazingly apparent or, for what it's worth, unworthy of discussion due to its commonality—but these do nothing to allay the acid-wash of the ridiculously small spaces and intellectual property shenanigans that most books afford their editors, prompting a selection process that makes Swiss cheese of centuries and traditions. Why do we need to put up with this? Is any dedicated reader of American poetry really going to miss out by not buying the Penguin or Norton? Are we really at risk of losing our most valuable poetic ancestors if we don't shove them all, demon-like, into a badly-made paperback edition of Pandora's box?
No, I'm not saying we should boycott Norton and their ilk; I'd be hard-pressed—and this is the first criticism coming my way, I know—to turn down an opportunity to be included in a Norton anthology, if by some inversion of divine favor I managed to secure an invitation. Maybe this is what one should do in order to divest these conglomerates of their influence; I'm amenable to this line of thinking. Still, the venues for poets are few. You can pass out zines and shout lines on the street, but anthologies like the Norton and Penguin have, for better or (often) worse, a death-grip on their own frequencies in the cultural broadband. They're the cable news networks of publishing, when what we should be doing is searching out the indie theaters to see the latest Herzog or Dogme 95 flick. Sure, we watch the "lamestream" media (to borrow a phrase from that oracle of our time, Sarah Palin), but most of us know better. Some of us turn on the TV at all—yes, I'm an unrelenting anti-TV snob—but know better. We buy a Norton anthology, hopefully, and know better. But the thing is, we should be going there, if we do go there, to get to other places—not because it's late and you're tired and, well, it's just easier to go with what's in front of you. It shouldn't matter what's on CNN or whether or not Ginsberg or Plath, two of the most important 20th-century American poets in 20th-century American poetry, are in your Penguin anthology because, well, neither is a serious cultural document anyway.
Would that it were so. As usual, the revolution will not be much labored over. But there need not be much labor to find vibrant, amorphous, squirming-with-life poetry communities in venues not as withered by the strangleholds of power and capital. Take the internet, though it's true that the online poetry scene is a wasteland as well as a jungle. At times it's no less parochial than its meatspace counterparts. At times it's like that island of trash floating in the Pacific: it's supposed to be the size of Texas, but nobody's really seen it. And it's no more immune to absurdity or pettiness than anything else. A recent Flavorwire list, "23 People Who Will Make You Care About Poetry in 2013," which would have been more accurately titled "23 Mostly New York City-Based Poets The Author Knows," includes some poets whose work reads like morning-after dispatches texted bewilderedly by survivors of the world's wildest frat party: I drank alcohol, I did drugs, I didn't feel so good afterward, I am financially secure enough to have existential angst, and so on. Thanks, but I'd rather read the anthologies Dove and Hoover put together. (To be fair, there's an argument to be made that this kind of poem—is it a kind of poem after all, or a privilege, or maybe even a neurosis?—"critiques" the culture it purports to mimetically reproduce. You'd never know it, considering the religious dedication that practitioners of the so-called "K-Mart realism," of which writers like Tao Lin are the high priests, apply to avoiding any serious discussion of their work, aim, intentions, or really anything else, ad infinitum, as if being a case study of Sartrean bad faith were a full-time job. But that's a rant for another day.)
None of these setbacks to our alternatives, though, mean we should keep holding out for the anthology to somehow metamorphose into Utopia—maybe they mean, to the contrary, that there just isn't a workable, equitable concept of the anthology that we can attain. Who wants to put their name on an anthology of 20th-century American poetry that doesn't include Ginsberg, Plath, and Zukofsky, or a "postmodern" anthology that doesn't include Plath, Lowell, and Seidel? Permissions issues aside (and Dove made much of these, taking up, to my chagrin, a whole spread in The Writer's Chronicle to lament them), the question stands—you can't publish a selected Yeats without "The Second Coming" and absolve yourself by saying it was just too darn hard to work with the estate. Meanwhile, the knee-jerk response to anthological fury—I'm inclined to call it "anthologitis"—seems to be to call for various but comparably unsatisfactory changes. Where is the Norton Anthology of Unjustly Neglected Female/Non-Male/Ethnic Minority/Working-Class/Lower-Class/Immigrant/Non-College-Educated Twentieth-Century American Poetry, we ask, in all seriousness, in response to Hoover? Where is the Penguin Anthology of Twentieth-Century Poems by American Poets Supported By Manifold Critical Assessments We Have Carefully Studied and Weighed Before Arriving at a Responsible, If Not Entirely Uncontroversial, Selection? Walk, don't run, to your nearest bookstore. In the long absence that lingers meanwhile, though, what to do? I'm reminded of something Brian Henry said in an interview with Poets & Writers a few years ago:
The worst younger poets are those consciously trying to write like—or be—a Louise Glück (or a Jorie Graham, a Rita Dove, a Philip Levine, or practically any another recent winner of A Very Big Prize) in the hope of securing the laurels that poets like Glück have received. A lot of younger poets do this unconsciously—they play into the game because they don't know anything outside the game—and end up failing because the poetry establishment cannot handle so many aspirants. The key, I think, is to take another route altogether, create your own community, and forget about pedigrees and prizes. If the mainstream shifts to accommodate you—as it has done to accommodate so many non-mainstream communities of writers—then you at least arrived there on your own terms.
We need not put up with "what happens when the avant-garde ceases to function as a historical category and becomes a fetish object," as Robbins phrases it, when fashionable resistance becomes a "lethal period style." To those with anthology-bound aspirations, two words: nota bene; the ground's apt to open up beneath you any minute. In the meantime, we can craft our own alternatives and seek out those of others, whether we know them as our peers or not. When enterprises like those of Dove and Hoover become as silly as of late, it's difficult to imagine them persisting as anything more than time-stamped pictures of the whirlpool of American poetry taken from various angles. It's true that I'm not wholly optimistic about these alternatives in light of the tribe-like nature of the poetry scene (or of any scene, really), and in light of the fact that every act of writing, criticism, speech, and thought is an act of selection, an act of inclusion that predicates itself on the possibility of exclusion. But I figure airing my anthology blues can only do good—chiefly if, as I suspect, there are others out there suffering in silence along with me. Canonization happens, but we can fight fire with fire, or overpriced editions with more reasonably-priced ones, ones we've made ourselves—volumes that include the poets you want to see, that you want to take risks on, and aren't museum displays of dinosaurs who long ago had their day. "Hoover and Dove deserve each other. The rest of us can do better": so Robbins ends his review. We can, and we can start by tearing down the walls of the room that we've all, for some reason, been cramming and clamoring to get into. So few bodies pressed together only a mausoleum make.

Zach attack earns Johnson victory at British Open
By Tony Jimenez
ST ANDREWS, Scotland (Reuters) - American Zach Johnson claimed the second major triumph of his career after winning a four-hole playoff at the end of a captivating, cliffhanger of a final round in the British Open on Monday.
In an Open that never seemed to want to end, the 39-year-old surged through the field with a closing 66 before overcoming South African Louis Oosthuizen (69) and Australian Marc Leishman (66) in extra holes.
"I feel blessed to be the champion and honored to be part of the history of this game," said Johnson after a round played in a damp and heavy atmosphere but, more importantly for the players, in light winds.
"It has been a week of patience, courage and trust. I can't play any better than I did. I just stayed in it, waited for the opportunities and made a few putts."
Johnson, who won the U.S. Masters in 2007, took a vice-like grip on the playoff by ramming in birdie putts of 12 and 18 feet at the first two holes and could afford the luxury of taking a bogey at the 17th before a par four at the last sealed victory.
Oosthuizen, the winner of the Open when it was last played at St Andrews in 2010, was level par for the extra holes while Leishman effectively played himself out of it when he three-putted the first. He ended two over.
Johnson wiped tears from his eyes before hugging his wife as he walked off the 18th green to pick up the coveted Claret Jug and a first prize of 1.15 million pounds ($1.79 million).
One of the first to congratulate Johnson was fellow American Jordan Spieth who failed to make the playoff by one stroke after a day of fluctuating fortunes. Continued...

A couple months back someone posted a lecture on the topic of linking high sugar/carbs to hyperactivity (ADHD) and aggression. I was searching for it as I wanted to check it out again (as it was a great lecture), but couldn't find it anywhere. Do any of you guys know the video and still have the link?
