Irish Bookseller Eason to Launch eReader This Year
Details are still scarce on the price, release date, specs, or even the color of the device, but an Eason spokesman did give some idea as to their plans. "We are not getting into bed with Amazon, that is for certain," he said.
Eason has been working for some time now to add ereaders to their stores. Last November they completed a remodel of 25 stores which added both new ereader stock as well as a petting zoo where customers could try before they buy. And that's not all they're doing. "As part of a €20m plan to modernise our entire chain, we will be providing live wi-fi in our stores from this summer and dedicated e-book areas which will permit customers to download e-books from our website. The next phase of this process is to launch our own Eason branded ereader."
And when they do, Eason will have a lock on the market. Ireland has a population of 4.4 million, making it an ebook market which is too small to draw the interest of any of the major ebookstores.

NEW YORK – Damage to the meniscus in the knee joint may lead to osteoarthritis in middle-age and elderly patients.
The meniscus is the wedge of cartilage in the knee that stops the end of the femur (thighbone) rubbing directly on the top of the tibia (the main shinbone). The meniscus is actually two structures on each side of the knee joint.
"Meniscal damage often is a key player in the development of knee osteoarthritis, whether or not meniscal surgery is performed," Dr. Martin Englund told Reuters Health.
As reported in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism, Dr. Englund, from Boston University School of Medicine and Lund University Hospital in Sweden, and colleagues investigated the link between meniscal damage and the development of osteoarthritis over 30 months in almost 450 people between the ages of 50 and 79.
Individuals with minor meniscal tear were 3 times more likely than those with no meniscal damage to develop knee osteoarthritis, the authors report. For people with more severe meniscal damage, the risk was 8 times greater.
The results strongly suggest that meniscal tear "is a potent structural risk factor" for the development of osteoarthritis, the investigators conclude.
"Please keep in mind that it is often not the meniscal tear that is causing the patient discomfort," Englund commented. "Other processes or structures related to early knee osteoarthritis development are more likely the source."

Boulder Dam Hotel

- City money could rescue historic Boulder Dam Hotel (6-30-2009)
- Visitor slowdown has historic Boulder City hotel needing money (6-29-2009)
Beyond the Sun
Sandy Nelson stopped by the historic Boulder Dam Hotel one last time on Saturday to play the grand piano in the lobby.
Michelle Kessler, a former front desk clerk, brought her husband and two children to the Boulder City-Hoover Dam Museum at the hotel for a final visit.
Cheryl Ferrence, former president of the nonprofit group that owns the hotel, dropped by to leave her key to the museum. Her husband, Bill, the nonprofit group's most recent president, was with her, giving the staff farewell hugs.
Sixteen years after the Boulder Dam Hotel Association began raising $3 million to restore the Depression-era structure to its original luster, the Boulder Dam Hotel closed its doors at 5 p.m. Saturday.
The Boulder City Museum and Historical Association, which owns the hotel, restaurant and museum, ran out of money and options, and its board voted Wednesday to close at the end of the pay period, while it could still make payroll.
It was three months behind on $940,000 in mortgages. An insurance payment was due. Vendors were asking for money.
Meanwhile, the recession took a toll on occupancy, hotel manager Roger Shoaff said. Revenue was down about $60,000 since December, the difference between making it or not, he said.
The historical association made an emergency appeal in June to its regular donors: Please send $1,000 to keep the hotel open, the letter said. About $15,000 came in, Bill Ferrence said — not enough to meet the bills.
Association board members appealed to the office of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., wealthy patrons, everyone who knew anyone — and finally, the City Council.
The request to the City Council for redevelopment funds sparked controversy.
Council members Linda Strickland and Travis Chandler maintained it was inappropriate to use RDA money for the operational expenses of a failing business, even if it was a nonprofit group. Mayor Roger Tobler and Councilman Cam Walker held that saving the hotel, which had never received RDA money through its entire renovation, would prevent future blight.
The deciding vote, by Councilman Duncan McCoy, who supported the RDA loan, was not cast. He was advised to abstain because of his past position as a member of the historical association board, and the motion to lend an emergency $40,000 failed on a 2-2 vote.
Few mentioned the controversy as they paid their last respects to the hotel, whose guests in its heyday included Shirley Temple, Bette Davis, Will Rogers and the Vanderbilts.
Boulder City residents Nathan Lenon and Laura Miller came to have lunch in the restaurant. They said they disagreed about whether RDA money should be used, but today was not the day to discuss that.
"The impact of the closing will be felt by businesses here," Lenon said.
"It's an iconic feature of Boulder City," Miller said.
Kelly Wells and Troy Poe were supposed to be married at the hotel Aug. 1 and were shocked and saddened to hear it is closing.
"Obviously I love the hotel and that's why we wanted to get married here," said Wells, a Boulder City resident who said they were lucky enough to find other arrangements.
"It's unfortunate for the community to close for funding reasons," Poe said. "The community loses out, aside from our personal drama."
The Boulder City-Hoover Dam Museum had steady business throughout the day as people made the trip to see it before they lost the opportunity.
"I had been wanting to come see about the history of the dam and hadn't had a chance," said Terri Lowell, a Las Vegas resident who brought her two daughters to the museum. "When I heard it was closing, I knew I couldn't wait."
Kessler, the former front desk clerk, had to make a final visit to the museum with her 6-year-old son and baby.
"I wanted him to see it one more time," she said.
After serving lunch, the final meal at the restaurant, Maria Hernandez held onto her optimism as she cleaned the kitchen.
"It's going to be open again. I'm positive," she said. "That's why I'm not worried. It's impossible. It can't close forever."
Shoaff, whose wife, Rosanne, helped him manage the hotel, agreed it would probably reopen at some point "in one form or another. I don't think the town will let it die."
"Because we are closing, it doesn't make the efforts of the past 16 years for naught," he said. "We gave tens of thousands of people unique, positive, memorable experiences. Whether we close or not, that's already done, and that's what I'm proud of."

In the midst of recession, Italians cast ballots in closely-watched election
Karolyn Coorsh, CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Saturday, February 23, 2013 6:34PM EST
Last Updated Saturday, February 23, 2013 11:13PM EST
As if Fashion Week and the historic final appearance of a retiring pope weren't enough to keep Italy on its toes, the country is also preparing to head to the polls as the future of the country's political leadership hangs in the balance.
Religious pomp and haute couture aside, Italians are entering a two-day election period and appear poised to welcome a new prime minister: Polls indicate centre-left candidate Pier Luigi Bersani is favoured to overtake former PM Silvio Berlusconi.
According to polls, roughly a third of Italians said they would support Bersani, while the centre-right coalition led by Berlusconi sat second in the polls with 28 per cent. Current premier Mario Monti's centrist coalition trailed with 13 per cent of voters.
The general election is the first time Italians are set to vote for a new government since Berlusconi, plagued by scandal and legal troubles, stepped down over a year ago.
After a Milan court found him guilty of tax fraud in October, Berlusconi announced he would seek office again, after initially saying otherwise.
While Europe's eyes are on the perceived race between Bersani and Berlusconi, anti-establishment candidate Beppe Grillo and his Five Star Movement has been taking Italy by storm in recent weeks and therefore shouldn't be discounted, Geoff Andrews, author of "Not a Normal Country: Italy after Berlusconi" said Saturday.
"He's really challenging the political class, appealing in particular, to young voters and he could make a difference," Andrews told CTV's News Channel.
Both the country and the European Union are keeping a close eye on the election as voters head to the polls against a backdrop of sustained and widespread economic turmoil.
Andrews said finances will be a key issue, as voters and the European Union look at how a leader can re-establish competitiveness and stimulate growth in the Italian economy.
Current Prime Minister Monti established himself among European leaders as someone who could lead amid a Eurozone crisis. Andrews said he made positive moves toward pension reforms and dealing with tax evasion, however, he trails heavily in the polls.
European leaders are expecting a clear majority, Andrews said.
"I think what they prefer is a centre-left majority, supported by Mario Monti."

Thank you for joing the Mindset Works Community! Check your email for more information.
Simply playing a sport is not always a great way to develop as an athlete. In order to improve, we need to not only play the game, but also engage in activities designed for improvement. This could include practicing drills that target specific skills and playing modified games to advance our understanding of different aspects of the game. Also critical are soliciting and receiving feedback and reflecting. These are examples of time spent in the Learning Zone.
What does growth mindset mean for coaches in sport? Fundamentally it is about looking at coaching philosophy, coaching methods, and the systems and processes operating within sporting organisations, to ensure that all three are tuned in to the growth mindset message.
Our former Growth Mindset Educator Contest Winner, Mark Carter has been applying Dweck's research to coaching and football in the UK! This self-reflection tool helps students improve their football (soccer) skills and supports the development of a growth mindset. Nice work Mark!!
"Children can learn to learn. And teachers can help children develop the mindset of a learner. What we say, the feedback we give, how we interact, the questions we ask - these can all portray the idea that we are all on a learning journey. There is no such thing as "can't" - just "can't yet". Ministry of Football believes in working with parents to develop the traits of a Growth Mindset." -Mark Carter

Utah State begins the 2012 season against in-state rival Utah on Friday, Aug. 17 at 7 p.m. at Rio Tinto Stadium in Sandy, Utah, home of Major League Soccer's Real Salt Lake. This is the fourth-straight season the Aggies have played a match at Rio Tinto.
In 2009, the Aggies defeated Utah 2-1 in overtime with a Shantel Flanary golden goal. In 2010 and 2011, USU earned a pair of one-goal wins against Weber State with a 2-1 win in 2010 and a 1-0 victory last season.
Utah holds an 11-3 all-time lead against Utah State. The Aggies have won two of the last three meetings, including a 1-0 win last season in Logan. Junior forward Mari Miyashiro scored the only goal of the match to give USU the win. Utah State also captured a dramatic 2-1 overtime win against Utah at Rio Tinto Stadium in 2009.
Utah brings back 17 returning letterwinners and redshirts from last year's team, including eight starters. The Utes lost four key players to graduation, all of whom were staples of the Ute starting lineup throughout their careers. Center backs Lauren Dudley and Lauren Porter combined to start 164 of 166 games through four years on the back line. Utah was picked to finish tied for eighth in the Pac-12 conference. Last season, the Utes were 10-9-1 over all and 6-5-0 in conference action.Comment on this story
Despite losing all-time points scorer and two-time WAC Offensive Player of the Year, Shantel Flanary, USU still has firepower. The Aggies return 20 of the 30 goals they scored last season. Kendra Pemberton is the top returning player with seven goals and nine assists last season for 23 points. Junior midfielder Jennifer Flynn scored five goals with three assists for 13 points, while senior defender Natalie Norris scored four goals for eight points last season.
Tickets for the match at Rio Tinto are $5 and available for the Rio Tinto Stadium Box Office (hours 10 a.m.-6 p.m., at 801-727-2700 or at RioTintoStadium.com). Kids 17 & under can enter free with a soccer jersey.
The Aggies home opener will be on Sunday, Aug. 19 against UTEP at Noon.
Fans can follow USU soccer on Twitter.

While it only invests in films with budgets of under $5 million, Chenal Media took $7 million to develop, coproduce, and distribute them.
The company will use this second round of investment to shift its focus from all media to motion pictures. Chenal Media finances feature projects in the horror, thriller, science fiction, and action genres. It backs completed screenplays with at least one director attachment, completed films that need assistance with distribution, or films seeking a boost to be brought to completion.
Chenal Media is the LA-based media division of the German company Chenal Brands. It expanded into film entertainment in 2011 and puts in up to half of a film's total cost. After seeing strong traction, the company recently began developing its own content as well.
This funding came from iHaniel and private investors.

Heath Ledger (1979 – 2008)
Photo By Kimberly French
Park City, UT – The Sundance Film Festival turned quiet and mournful as the news of Heath Ledger's death started showing up on computers and blackberries across Park City. Whispers spread through crowds at theaters as smiling faces suddenly became downcast. On Main Street, all I could hear was people on cell phones saying, "oh my God, have you heard. I can't believe it." While Heath Ledger's work touched the world, the independent film world, many of who have worked with him, have felt his passing even more so.
A.O. Scott of the The New York Times noted his passing in "Prince of Intensity With a Lightness of Touch". "Indiewire" [www.indiewire.com] posted a remembrance from the Sundance Film Festival. Nick Tanner at The Guardian reports on the touching tributes coming in from around the world. The Australian reports his passing as a tragedy for the whole nation of Australia (the birthplace and home of Heath Ledger).

We may have shut our doors, but as a final farewell we've announced more than £100,000-worth of IdeasTap-funded opportunities on Hiive.
Find out how you can apply...
The standard of photography in the IdeasTap community is unbelievably high and trimming the shortlist for the IdeasTap Photographic Award was a hard task. We can now proudly reveal the final 12, each producing compelling, coercive, beautiful bodies of photography...
All 12 shortlisted applicants will receive a mentoring session with a Magnum Photographer, £60 of Blurb book vouchers and £150 to have their pictures printed, framed and exhibited at IdeasTap HQ.
From these 12, six will be selected – one from each category in each age group. The six finalists will each receive £1,500 to shoot their dream project, create a multimedia Magnum in Motion project and a second mentoring session.
Finally, a winner from each age group will be picked. The overall winners of the Award will each receive £5,000 and sought-after internships at Magnum – one with the Magnum in Motion team in New York (one week); the other a six-week paid internship with Magnum in London.
Age category: 16 to 22
Theme: Conceptual
Luisa Whitton's austere "double portraits" of the same person shot twice and then exposed next to each other seems to invert the momentary nature at the core of the medium.
See her portfolio here.
Wil Reed's expressionistic, starkly lit, black and white shots of jail cells, tunnels and towers have a pensive, lonely, introspective quality.
See his portfolio here.
Theme: Photojournalism
Rajan Zaveri's piercing portraits of Bedouin children, women and men and the golden, dusty landscape on which they eke out a living seem to suck you into their centre.
By perforating the shell of the Soviet Star City, Masha Gruzdeva provides an amazing insight into the inner workings of the cold war space race.
Theme: Environmental
Alex Moore shoots a range of interiors and exteriors, but one thing unites his work – everyone's scoffing. In his fixation on good rubbish food, Alex has evoked something truly British.
See his portfolio here.
Charlie Hey's visual documents of the tin and copper mines of Cornwall collide modern and age-old mining practices into one body of work.
Age category: 23 to 30
Charley Murrell impressed the judges with her stylised yet intimate impressions of children seeking – through clothes and poses - to wish their youth away.
See her portfolio here.
There's an aged, ghostly, luminous quality in William Arnold's timeframe shots of vacated offices and bedrooms, where air and Vermeer-ish light seems to assume a life of its own.
Theme: Photojournalism
Roman Sakovich's portraits of the Gran Sasso National Laboratory in Italy - the largest underground laboratory in the world for experiments in particle physics – look like the imagined set of a lost Kubrick film.
Michael Carroll's monochrome portraits of Indochinese people afflicted by Agent Orange or the Khymer Rouge have an untarnished humanity at their core.
Jon Cardwell's pictures of Colorado miners stood before a white background and stripped of their context are fascinating studies of man, industry and nature.
Maria Kjartans' snowcaps, tundras and frozen oceans provide a compelling depictions of some of our most inhospitable and isolated environments.

Five teenage girls barred from travelling abroad by a judge after showing an interest in going to Syria are pupils at the same London school as three girls already thought to have fled there to join the Islamic State, the High Court has been told.
In mid-February police raised concerns following the disappearance of Kadiza Sultana, 16, Shamima Begum, 15, and Amira Abase, 15, from their homes in east London.
On March 20 Mr Justice Hayden barred five girls – three 16 and two 15 – from leaving the jurisdiction of England and Wales following a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London.
The judge had made an order saying the five girls could not be identified.
But today he said it could be revealed that all eight teenagers were pupils at Bethnal Green Academy in Bethnal Green, east London.
He made a ruling allowing the school to be named at a follow-up hearing in the Family Division of the High Court in London – after an application from the Press Association news agency, which argued that revealing the link to the school would be in the public interest.

Shining Lights
Working with photographer Ganesh Ramachandran, a long-time Quicksilver Dance collaborator, Mariah has published a new children's book!
"Shining Lights" recounts the joys and anxieties of a young Bharata Natyam dancer's Arangetram. In the words of one Amazon reviewer: "Shining Lights" is simple yet powerful- it deftly captures the range of intense emotions that accompany any dedicated preparation and performance. I wish I had had such a book to read as a child growing up in the US.... I intend to share this book widely with my young dance students. (Check out more great reviews here!)

Stoke boss Mark Hughes says there has been no offers for Marko Arnautovic and believes he will still be a Potters player next season.
The Austria international is showing no signs of agreeing a new deal with the club and rumours are rife he could be on the move before the new campaign gets underway.
Crystal Palace and Paris Saint-Germain are reported to be among the clubs showing an interest, but Hughes says there is nothing to report on the player's situation.
"No news on Marko, we are where we are," Hughes declared when quizzed on his future. "He's back in a couple of weeks and I don't anticipate that's going to change."
When pressed over whether any bids have been made, Hughes added: "Not that I'm aware of, no."
Arnautovic has been granted extra time off following his exploits at Euro 2016 with Austria, but Hughes expects him to be back training with the rest of the squad in a couple of weeks.

This year's budget deficit is expected to rise to 4.5 of GDP, an increase of 0.3 percent compared to the figures presented by the cabinet on budget day in September.
The new estimates are included in the annual fall budget revision Finance Minister Jan Kees de Jager submitted to parliament on Tuesday.
In June, the Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis still predicted a 3.7 percent deficit, whereas the cabinet on budget day 2010 expected the deficit would not exceed 4 percent.
The national debt will also rise this fiscal year, to 65 percent of GDP. The deteriorating figures are mainly the result of decreasing tax revenue.
Government spending has gone up as a result of setbacks in social security 400 million euros and in care 1.2 billion. The cabinet has taken measures to ensure total spending does not exceed the agreed ceiling.

wikiHow to Convince Your Parents to Get You a Wii
Two Parts:Persuasion techniquesAsking for the WiiCommunity Q&A
Just like millions of others around the world, you're dying to get a Wii. The only problem is you have to convince your parents to get you one. The good news is that like many other problems, it can be solved through negotiation.
Part 1
Persuasion techniques
1Come up with good reasons for getting a Wii. This is the first hurdle––convincing your parents that having a Wii is worth the cost and the time you'll spend on it. Some reasons might include:
- There are exercise games you can play, which will help to keep you fit indoors during the colder months. You can tell them it is better than most game consoles because you exercise a little. It also helps with hand-eye coordination.
- It's more affordable than some of the other game consoles.
- Find some of the games you plan to play on it to show your parents. This may help convince them that the games are suitable and not too violent or too mature, depending on what you select.
- You see having a Wii as one option among other activities, and that you will still participate in sport, playing outdoors, reading, doing hobbies, etc. Reassure them that you won't spend all of your time on the Wii.
2Come up with a sensible budget for paying for the Wii. This is a chance to show your parents that you're responsible and willing to help either pay for some of the Wii or to do things in return for being given a Wii. When negotiating, first offer your parents the conditions possible fair options for you to contribute toward a Wii. These could include:
- Paying for part of it yourself. This will show your parents how much you want the game system.
- You could also offer to treat the entire purchase as a loan and pay it back over time.
- Promising to pay for the games and other add-ons to the Wii out of your own funds.
3Come up with some other trade-offs in return for getting a Wii. These could include:
- Improving your grades.
- Doing extra chores.
- Quitting doing something that aggravates your parents.
- Any other incentive that would make your parent happy.
4Show your parents that you are responsible. Do your chores, take out the garbage and clean your room without being asked to do so. Get good grades, do your homework as soon as you arrive from school, behave in class, etc.
Part 2
Asking for the Wii
1Ask your parents nicely for a Wii. Don't whine or beg, ask them maturely, as if you were an adult. If they say yes, read no further! But, if they said no, you will have to begin negotiations.
2Give your parents power. This may be the most important step. Agree on how many hours you can play the Wii before you even get it and what days you can play it on. Give them the right to take away the Wii if you fail to fulfill the conditions you offered them. Promise that you will get off when they tell you to. Tell them they can play it whenever they want to.
3Keep offering incentives and power until your parents agree, even if you can only play it for an hour a month. You can work out a new deal once you have the Wii and your parents see how responsible you are.
4Make a written contract. Put a deal on the contract and have both you and your parents sign it. Make a copy of it so both parents have one.
5Follow the rules of your agreement and have fun playing the Wii. After a week or two, you can try to re-negotiate again if you choose to.
Community Q&A
What if my parents say that they refuse to connect it to the TV?Billy BAKKERIf this happens, offer to do it yourself. If they say no, do it anyway and make sure to only use it when they are not near where you are.
Will this work for a Nintendo Switch?wikiHow ContributorYes.
Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- Get high grades in school. An A+ in a course will get you a Wii more easily.
- Timing is everything. Ask them when they are in a noticeably good mood and maybe around your birthday or a holiday.
- Tell your parents that Wiis are good exercise. If possible, take them to a Wii seminar, or get them to play. If you can't do this, then show them some online videos of people playing the Wii. Adults have a thing for Wii's, tell them you don't mind the playing, it's the exercise that opens up adults to video games.
- Promise them that the Wii will not interfere with your schoolwork (and make sure you keep that promise!).
- Ask for the Wii on your birthday or Christmas (if you celebrate) and nothing else. This is especially good if they say no at any other time of the year.
- Make sure you don't ask too much, your parents might get annoyed and will not even think about getting one.
- When you ask if you could get one, don't whine or complain, that could just make persuading them to get it for you less likely.
- Be careful! Wii remotes have been known to injure people, break, or damage furniture. Always wear your wrist strap, but don't depend on it completely. Don't forget, never let the Wii mote leave your hand while playing, not even with the wrist strap on.
- Your parents might say "no" no matter what. If this happens, ask them for something else you want as a replacement.
- Once you have the Wii, don't play it for too long. It's not good for you.

10 Tips for Thinking More Creatively
What is it that makes some people so creative? Why is it that certain people seem to have a million ideas about how to set up their living spaces, while others of us just stare into space and can't seem to come up with even one? Why is it that some people seem to be natural innovators, while others of us struggle to come up with the next bright idea? Are creative types born, or made?
In his new book, Imagine, Jonah Leher claims that everyone has the potential to be creative. Leher explains that creativity is a skill that, with proper effort and diligence, can be honed like a finely-sculpted muscle. In his book, and subsequent interview with the Wall Street Journal, he shares "10 Quick Creativity Hacks." Leher's book is filled with detailed explanations of the science that backs his premise. Here is a quick summary of his ten tips for helping us all to think a bit more creatively:
1. Surround yourself in shades of blue. Studies show that the color blue leads to more relaxed and associative thinking.
2. Linger in bed a bit longer. Studies show that you are more creative when you are groggy.
3. Drift off in a daydream. Research has shown that people who daydream more score higher on creativity tests.
4. Channel your Inner Child. When people imagine themselves as children, they score much higher on tests of divergent thinking.
5. Get a case of the giggles. After watching comedy videos, people score higher on insight puzzles.
6. Think of a far away land. Students performed better on creativity tests when they thought the tests came from places that were far away as opposed to local.
7. Use general language. When problems are posed using specific language, people tend to think in more narrow terms. Generic terms breed broader thinking.
8. Think outside of the box, literally. A study showed that people scored higher on creativity tests when seated outside of a 5-foot-square workspace.
9. Travel far and wide. Research shows that students who have lived abroad possess an increased level of open-mindedness and creativity.
10. Move to the big city. Physicists at the Santa Fe Institute found that after moving to a city that was two times as large, inventors created about 15% more patents.

Writings and Editings XII
Always working on something. Diagrammed a story for students. Wrote some teaching stuff, wrote on the novel. Was the subject of a student tweet. Got a box of books for the Texas Book Festival. And, for some damn reason—my racing mind jumped ahead and I began outlining the next book, and here I haven't finished the one I'm working on….
When I switched from third person to first person, I had to jettison a few scenes that my final narrator wasn't/isn't involved in. Some of them I kind of like, like this one….
"Tee?" A deep, melodious voice. Ted Shuey's voice.
Advice to the Young Scholars
Student Engagement
I had terrific students in all four classes last fall--enthusiastic, lively, smart, and hard-working. Here are a few photos I took over the course of the semester....
Don't you wish you were in one of my classes?
You Still Need Soft Eyes....
In tomorrow's class, I'm going to be talking about the need for writers to have Soft Eyes, so I figured I might as well repost what I said about them a couple of years ago....
If you got soft eyes, you can see the whole thing. If you got hard eyes—you staring at the same tree, missing the forest.
It's a wonderful character line, full of wisdom that we writers can appropriate for our own use.
A writer needs soft eyes. Right? Right. Of course. A writer needs soft vision that that embraces the world, caresses the world, acknowledges all the pain and beauty and mystery and despair and loneliness and happiness that exists in the world. You're a writer with hard eyes? Your vision is going to ricochet off whatever you might think you're looking at—it's going to bounce away, deflect, reflect—you might as well be blind. You're not going to see with hard eyes. You're not going to understand....
The Grading Rant
Grading was an ordeal for me. Six sections of 25 students, more or less, each student spitting out four papers over the course of a semester—600 papers of an overall dismally low quality, 3000 pages or so of the same errors, same lame punctuation, same irrational arguments. My hand got tired writing in the margins
Sentence fragment, word choice, unclear. Over and over. What I wanted to write was
or even
What the fuck or bullshit or boring or YOU ARE STUPID!
But I didn't.
Everybody I know hates grading. Even the instructors and professors who claim to love their students—and who actually may love teaching, after all—even they hate grading. It's tough to judge and asses people and then look them in the eye day after day. Beneath that is a cold lurking fear of getting a bad evaluation from an unhappy student, a bad evaluation that can doom your career. One or two bad evaluations from terrible students can get a non-tenured faculty member's contract canceled, and the teacher can find her or his ass out on the street with no job, no job prospects, and $150,000 or so of student debt to pay off.
And still grading is worse than that, even—grading affects the health of teachers, too. Meet some afternoon with 14 or 18 students to discuss their terrible papers and you'll be sick the next day—students are notoriously filthy vectors of cold and flu viruses—and you'll be depressed, too, worried for the fate of the republic after you've read students who assert that their "mine is maid up" or that they are not taking something "for granite," or who argue that Hitler did some good things, like build roads (and, anyway, "It was God that judged the Jews"), or who are just plain lazy ("Both of these stories that I am comparing have similarities that me as a reader will know about when I finish reading them"). And I'm not kidding about the depression. Grade 30 or 50 papers and you will feel low, sullen, tired--you will feel like a loser, like a horrible teacher, like a total failure. The good papers—and yes, there are some good papers always—won't cheer you up because the bad papers are bad, bad, bad. They are terrible, and they're terrible because you're a terrible teacher. It's depressing. A year ago here an adjunct jumped off the west side of the football stadium and killed himself. His suicide note even made the Chronicle of Higher Education: he blamed grading for his depression—not lousy adjunct pay or not having health insurance. Grading. It's a killer.

A Passage from My CW Syllabus
Very early in the semester students become aware that I usually begin almost every class by saying something like:
"So—what's going on today?"
I ask this question with the hope that a student will speak up and tell me something they have done since class last met. Maybe the student will have had an adventure—gotten arrested or fallen in love—or maybe they will have done something as mundane as taking out the trash. If no one volunteers a story I'll usually ramble on with a story or three of my own.
Every semester there is a student or two who are very annoyed by this in-class storytelling. They really do get mad! I can see it in their eye-rolling in-class faces and I can really see it in their end-of-the-semester class evaluations.
I find their annoyance both amusing and sad.
I find it amusing because these students are apparently unaware that the class will last a mere 50 minutes no matter how many stories get told.
I find it sad because these students are apparently unaware that stories are at the very heart of what we do in class. Whether through poetry or prose, this class is devoted to increasing our individual and collective understanding of the world we live in. And stories are one of the most important ways we gain this understanding.
Remember this at all times: You have a voice. Your voice is unique. No one knows the stories you know.
Time is limited. Time is running out. Someday, sadly, you will be dead and your untold stories will die with you.
So: seize every chance you get to tell your story....
My Publisher Asks Me Questions
Interview with Slough Press….
SP: Let's start at the beginning—before the beginning of the book, actually, to the dedication.
LMW: Sure
The book's dedicated to your parents. How come?
Professed is a novel about higher education, and it was my parents who introduced me to this world. They were teachers, first in high schools, then in universities. I was conceived in Morgantown when my dad was in grad school at West Virginia University. I grew up in college towns in West Virginia and Nebraska and Minnesota and Texas. Actually, I've lived in college towns all my life.
Growing up in the Ivory Tower…
I don't know about that. Few things annoy me more—or anger me more—than some idiot calling the non-academic world "the real world."
All worlds are real worlds….
My parents got up every morning and went to work. They voted, they paid taxes. I do the same. Every academic I know does the same. Anybody who says that's not the real world needs to be punched in the nose.
Maybe people look down on academics because they deal with ideas instead of—I don't know, pipe fittings, or whatever….
Maybe. Though pipe fittings are based on ideas, too….
And books are objects….
Objects with a variety of meanings. The characters in Professed all get into academia because they love books—they love reading, they love the meanings that books contain, the meaning that books bring to their lives.
But there's more to the academic world than books.
Of course. Academics work hard. There's sadly little time for recreational reading. Anyone who teaches at a university is under tremendous pressure—pressure from students, from administrators, from colleagues, from the calendar, from their own idealized teaching self…and the university itself is under tremendous pressure from the contemporary culture at large, from the economy, from the politics. The business of education in the end has little to do with learning and a lot to do with business—and that's not a good thing for professors or students.
Professed is set at a large unnamed university in Austin, Texas. Your other books are set in Austin, too.
I lived in Austin for a long, long time—I'm haunted by the place, perhaps. The delirious rate of change is sort of a constant—the old golden past is supplanted by a new golden past which is soon forgotten and replaced by another newer golden past, and meanwhile there's this new new new city rising up around us and stretching out ahead into the future, and this new city is getting—newer. Bigger. Blander. Richer. Stranger. It's interesting process to watch and to write about.
Your previous novel, That Demon Life, had a protagonist who was trying to isolate herself from the world around her. The characters in Professed are trying very hard to become part of the larger world.
And that world—the world of higher education—is pushing them away, right? In That Demon Life, Linda Smallwood wants to stay at home and watch TV, and her friends—I guess they're her friends—keep dragging her out of the house and into extreme and ridiculous situations. The three main characters in Professed are forced by the university, by their desires to be a part of the university, into extreme and ridiculous situations—which makes sense, since higher education is itself extreme and ridiculous. And for a lot of people it's tragic, too, a lot of the time.
But Professed seems to close on a hopeful note….
For an individual or two, sure. There's always hope. That's why we teach—that's why I teach, at least. Education will find a way! We want to believe that. But I also think that if you look close enough, you'll see that universities are full of broken dreams. And when I look at those broken dreams I find stories....
When I teach flashbacks to my creative writing students, I usually use the flashback paradigm set forth in Robert Olen Butler's From Where You Dream, where Butler asks writers to anchor their flashback scene—and he wants full scenes, not just imagistic memories—to the hard sensual physical world. An object often works as the anchor, and object that contains within it the representation of memory.
There are seven steps to Butler's technique:
At any rate, I often use Tom Jones's "The Pugilist at Rest" as an example of the Butlerian flashback paradigm:
The other day – Memorial Day, as it happened – I was cleaning some stuff out of the attic when I came upon my old dress-blue uniform. It's a beautiful uniform, easily the most handsome worn by any of the U.S. armed forces. The rich color recalled Jorgeson's eyes for me – not that the color matched, but in the sense that the color of each was so startling. The tunic does not have lapels, of course, but a high collar with red piping and the traditional golden eagle, globe, and anchor insignia on either side of the neck clasp. The tunic buttons are not brassy – although they are in fact made of brass – but are a delicate gold in color, like Florentine gold. On the sleeves of the tunic my staff sergeant's chevrons are gold on red. High on the left breast is a rainbow display of fruit salad representing my various combat citations. Just below there are my marksmanship badges; I shot Expert in rifle as well as pistol.
Here the narrator's rediscovery of his Marine Corps uniform is an anchor for the memory of being a Recon Marine that powers the flashback and at the same time gives forward momentum to the main narrative of the story.
And forward momentum is important. A story has to keep moving forward, even though any particular flashback scene loops the reader back into the past.
I have been thinking about this the past week while reading student stories. Most of them attempt flashbacks, and some of them write them very well. But many seem to end up focusing on the past—on the flashback, on the backstory—at the expense of the present story.
I tell these young writers—If the backstory is so important, write that. Forget the present. Make the flashback the story. But if you want your story to stay in the present, concentrate on moving forward.
And then I had a flashback myself last Tuesday while driving to town for Thanksgiving supplies. Driving along, thinking about stuff. About writing. About student writing. Crossed a pretty little river, thought about fly fishing. About my high school friend and fishing buddy, K. About how K was an athlete, a track guy, a long jumper, one of the best in the state. About how writing's sort of like jumping, maybe. Maybe? Maybe not. Thought again about those students with their flashbacks. Then I had a strange unexpected shot of memory—the somersault long jump.
The somersault long jump was a technique that surfaced in the early/mid-1970s. The jumper would jump and simultaneously spin forward, spinning, and the spinning motion would give the jumper better distance. K told me he got an extra four to six inches using it—that's a lot. But then sports officials banned the technique for safety reasons—jumpers would go spinning spinning out of control and bust their heads open.
Here's what the somersault long jump looked like:
Get the connection? The flashback is the jumper's spinning somersault, a spin into the past. Yet the jumper—the story—maintains forward motion. And the flashback can get you extra distance in your story. (Maybe).
You can do this. Just don't go spinning out of control and bust open your story's head.

NEW YORK – For years, a first-round victory by Venus Williams at a major tennis tournament would hardly merit a mention.
She is, after all, a seven-time singles champion in Grand Slam events. She was ranked No. 1, owns Olympic gold medals and is second to younger sister Serena among active women in several key categories, including major-tournament match victories with 215.
And yet nowadays, at age 33, two years removed from being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that saps energy, hampered much of this season by a bad lower back, and her ranking down to 60th, Williams entered opening day at the U.S. Open having won a total of three matches over the past five Grand Slam tournaments.
Plus she was facing 12th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens, who was a semifinalist at Wimbledon last month and beat Williams on a hard court this month.

Looking much like the player she used to be, Williams smacked serves at up to 120 mph, returned effectively, covered the court well enough to hit a handful of swinging volley winners and beat Flipkens 6-1, 6-2 Monday to reach the second round at Flushing Meadows.
To Flipkens, it was not an upset — no matter what the rankings indicate.
"If Venus is there — if she's fit, if she's focused — she's a top-10 player," Flipkens said. "Everybody who knows a little bit of the game of tennis can see that."
Williams, who topped the WTA rankings in 2002, hasn't cracked the top 10 since she was No. 9 in March 2011. She hasn't been past the third round at a Grand Slam tournament since a fourth-round exit at Wimbledon later that year. Indeed, Williams lost in the first round in two of her previous four appearances at majors, including at the French Open in May; she sat out Wimbledon for the only time in her career in June.
"I stay positive because I know I can play great tennis. Sometimes you just have to go through more than what you want to go through," the American said after winning the first four games and the last four games against Belgian Flipkens.
Later, at the night session, Serena Williams began her title defense with a 6-0, 6-1 victory, a performance so impressive her opponent, 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, was prompted in a brief moment of levity to seek comfort by hugging a ball boy.
"I don't need a hug in that moment, I need a game," said a joking Schiavone.
Asked which meant more, her victory or her sister's, Serena replied: "They're equal. I definitely was happy to see Venus win."
The victory over Schiavone lasted exactly an hour, and light rain began falling after it ended.
Eventually, play was called off for the day, postponing 17-time major champion Roger Federer's match against 62nd-ranked Grega Zemlja until Tuesday.
Blake to retire
American James Blake, 33, announced he will retire after the tournament.
Blake, who has a 9-13 record this year and is ranked No. 100 in the world, was ranked a career-high fourth in 2006.
"Despite the tears, I'm actually really happy about this," said Blake, who has a match Wednesday. "I can do it on my own terms. Always wanted to do that. I thought about it a ton this year."

So, the mkv I have no problem playing but the mp4 files pop up a blue advertisement window that I can't get rid of. Never seen anything like it.
It has a good quality, especially for a size like that, but I have to convert it to AVI to watch it on my dvd player so the quality is lost a little. Why people dont upload anymore AVI files?!
Never mind the coment above, I thought I was comenting on another torrent, the quality sucks.

Golf Cart Safety
You must have a valid driver's license to operate a golf cart on Bald Head Island.
There are numerous injuries each year as a result from golf cart related incidents. There have been several fatalities from individuals falling off golf carts. To put things in perspective; it is no different than driving your car or truck 18 mph down a road near your home and then opening your car door and falling out onto the roadway. Fractured bones, soft tissue injuries, and head injuries are common injuries from this type of incident.
The majority of the golf cart related injuries on Bald Head Island are a result from an occupant falling out of the cart. They start and stop very abruptly and turn very sharply. It is difficult for passengers, especially rear-facing passengers, to anticipate turns and changes in speed. Ensure that passengers are holding on to the grab rails or other solid surface on the cart before performing any sudden movements. Children should not be in the lap of the driver, as they can impede the driver's ability to maneuver the golf cart. Packages should be secured to the cart, not held by passengers. Again, passenger's hands should be free to hold onto the grab rails. Whenever possible, use hand signals when turning or stopping. This will aid others in knowing your intentions. Please remember golf carts are not toys and enjoy you visit to Bald Head Island.
Think of the same laws when you drive your car on the mainland. Violation of laws or ordinances will result law enforcement action, up to and including going to jail.
Here are just a few of the laws and ordinances designed to keep you safe while enjoying your trip to Bald Head Island:
• open alcoholic beverage containers are prohibited in golf carts;
• the speed limit is enforced (18 mph);
• careless or reckless driving is prohibited;
• driving while intoxicated (alcohol or drugs) is not tolerated;
Bicycling across the island can be a wonderful experience. But please remember that the roadways are shared with golf carts, cars and small trucks, and large shipping trucks. The roadways are quaint and edged with vegetation. Please wear your helmet to help protect your head and brain from injury in the event you have an accident. You should also wear brightly colored clothing for higher visibility, both day and night.
Local laws and ordinances requires anyone under the age of 16 to wear a helmet while on a bicycle, scooter (motorized or non-motorized), roller blades, or similar means of transportation. These rules are in place to reduce the chances and seriousness of potential head and facial injuries.
More On:
Bicycle Helmets: http://www.bhsi.org/
There is an abundance of wildlife on the island, ranging from small insects to large alligators and deer. Wildlife should be observed from a distance, and not approached or handled. Even the tamest appearing animal can become hostile when it perceives a
threat. Sick and injured birds, raccoons, and other animals should be avoided and if observed the Public Safety Department should be contacted with approximate location at 457-5252. Please remember that these animals should not be approached or touched.
Animals can also carry rabies or other diseases that can cross over to the human population resulting in sickness and sometimes even death. You should always contact the Public Safety Department to report a sick or injured animal.
Bald Head Island is also home to the American Alligator. The animals should never be approached as they are wild animals.
NEVER feed an alligator for several reasons;
• They may mistake you for food,
• They can become too desensitized to humans, which could result in closer contact with humans and possible attacks.
• A $500.00 fine will be issued to anyone found feeding or harassing alligators, deer, raccoons, opossums, foxes or otters.
Sea Turtles frequent the shores of Bald Head Island and are a federally protected species. It is unlawful to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect sea turtle hatchings, eggs or adult turtles. Violating the law regarding this federally protected species can include up to a $100,000.00 fine and/or up to one (1) year in jail.
Please visit The Conservancy for guided tours to view island wildlife. This is the safest and most preferred method to view wildlife while learning about their lifestyles and history.

Beach/Ocean Safety
The beach and ocean are a wonderful place to relax, bath in the sun, and play games in the sand. However, the ocean is also a very powerful force than can turn a good vacation into a devastating nightmare. Please remember that ocean currents and waves can change rapidly and the threat of dangerous rip currents is ever present risk.
Here are a few tips while at the beach:
-Never swim or be on the beach during storms, especially since they pose a lightning risk.
-Pay attention to the number of the Beach Access that you take when traveling to the beach and familiarize yourself with the closest 911 Emergency Telephone Box- they are located at may of the beach access entrances.
-Apply adequate sunscreen, according to the manufactures directions, to reduce the chance of sever sunburn and risk of skin cancer.
-Alcohols and/or drugs are a bad combination with swimming.
-Always swim with a friend, never swim alone.
-Always stay within a safe distance of the shore.
-Stay alert for jellyfish and other aquatic life.
-Be alert and try to avoid swimming in areas where people are fishing.
Military ordinances occasional wash, up or are uncovered by erosion, on our beaches. This includes cannon balls from years past and modern day ordinances. If you seen any objects such as these then please call 911 immediately so the Public Safety Department can investigate. DO NOT TOUCH THEM as they could detonate and injure or kill you.
Stay clear of the sand dunes and the groins (large sandbags that reduce beach erosion). There is a $500 fine for walking on either of these very important structures.
Rip Currents: http://www.ripcurrents.noaa.gov/
Weather Safety: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/safety.php
Please remember that fires can be catastrophic on an isolated island such as Bald Head. The Village has an Open Burning Ordinance that prohibits open fires without a permit issued from the Fire Chief. Open fires include camp fires, luminaries or other type of fireworks, and any other open flames with the exception of LP gas grills, and other cooking appliances. Please be aware that Cooking appliances/grills, other than LP gas, must be at least ten (10) feet away from any building or deck while in use. A $500.00 fine will be issued to anyone that violates this ordinance.
Please observe these tips regarding fire safety:
-Never throw cigarettes, cigars, or other items onto the ground, as they may cause grass or brush fires. This is also considered littering.
-Make sure your charcoal grill is sturdy to reduce the chance of it being knocked over on accident or being tipped over from strong winds. A charcoal grill must be at least ten (10) feet away from any building or deck while in use.
-Have your fireplace chimney's inspected and serviced per the manufacturer's recommendations,
-Have you LP-gas fireplace logs inspected and serviced per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Knox Box: A Knox Box is a small steel box that is attached to your home or business and holds a key and information sheet. This box has a secure key, and the only persons with access are the on-duty fire personnel. The Knox Box affords the Fire-Rescue personnel access to your home or business in the event of fire alarm activation. We must gain access to determine if the alarm is a false alarm or not. If there is no one around to let us in the home we may need to enter through a locked window or door, and this could cause damage to the home or business. The costs of those damages can be expensive and are the responsibility of the property owner. These boxes can be purchased through the Knox Company, by completing the required paperwork. Save the expense of replacing a window or door and call the Public Safety Department at 457-5252 for application information.
In the event of an emergency always dial 911 . The Fire Department has two paramedics on-duty 24 hours a day and they can respond much quicker when dispatched through the 911 call center.
In the event of a serious medical or traumatic event which surpasses the capabilities of local hospitals, Airlink (a medical helicopter service) can be requested by the Fire-Rescue staff, and will respond if available. This helicopter service saves valuable time in transporting a patient to New Hanover Medical Center in Wilmington, NC, where trauma and cardiac services are available.
The Fire Department welcomes anyone that wants to come by and meet the fire-medics, look at our fire and rescue apparatus, or get a tour of the station.
Emergency Management
Disasters and events, either natural or manmade, are a concern everywhere. The Village Emergency Management staff monitors for such things and respond accordingly. Hurricanes and other tropical disturbances frequent the east coast each year. All residents should be prepared to evacuate as directed by the Emergency Management team and also have contingency plans in place in the event evacuation is not a viable option. A listing of disaster supplies you should have on hand is available at Ready America.
We utilize a all-call phone dialing system that can call all homes and commercial phones on the island. This system is utilized to notify residents, visitors, and island workers of emergency situations such as pending hurricanes, evacuation notices, problems with utilities, etc. A brief message will begin when you answer your phone, or when your answering machine picks up.
We post our inclement weather status, to include evacuation status, at Current Status.

Indiana Jones and The Decoder Card
Today I am going to jump forward from the past and do a post on one of my favorite rides; fans of the vintage stuff, please forgive me, as tomorrow I will go back to the golden age of the 50's/60's. I have always enjoyed reading the "Mara-glyphics" (designed by art director Chuck Ballew) inscribed on the wall of the Indiana Jones Adventure line queue, and now, with the help of this AT&T decoder card, you too can unlock the secrets of these ancient scribblings from 1995! Have at it!
For more Indiana Jones Adventure photos, visit my regular website.

With fast pass, you miss so much of the amazing queue...but I can imagine the old days when you stood in line for two hours. Decoding those messages would have been a welcome diversion!
I found that even in the early days, without fastpass, the queue moved too quickly to decode anything. I have been wanting to get a decoder card and take photos, as has been done here. Thanks!

Earlier this week, Juan came up with the brilliant idea of dressing up as an articulated 720 bus for Halloween.
= Juan and Sirinya Dressed as a Bus
Personally, I thought it was so romantic. After all, we got to wear identical outfits (see pictures below) and found a slinky toy to symbolize the articulated part of the bus. Plus, Juan created a multimedia component to our costume: we had a portable speaker playing sounds from the bus on repeat throughout the night.

The Florida wildlife agency has a website. Pretty thorough for the rules and regulations.
When using a light, don't shine directly on the coyote. Just pick up his eyes with the edge of the beam. Also, don't steadily shine it at him. Call for a bit, look around briefly and if no eyes, kill the light. Repeat.
Coyotes first come to the sound, then generally make some sort of circle to do the final approach from downwind. So, figure your setup so he isn't likely to come in from downwind of YOU. As at the edge of fairly thick brush, with the wind from the side. Make him stay out more in the open.
I've used a Q-Beam with a red lens cover, as well as a 20,000 CP Streamlight. Just have to be judicious about how they're used.
Bait? Either save leftover meat and fish scraps in your freezer until you're ready to play, or take a garbage can and liner to some local cafe and get a load to put out in the pasture. Coyotes will eat about anything except orange and onion peel, that sort of thing.
You're from BATFE? Come right in! I use all your fine products!

Three minutes later a customer from last season called who was also pleasant. He went for cheaper this year but has had enough. Small lawn, $36. Didn't ask him what he was paying the other LCO, just thanked him for calling, and gave him last season's price. Wish I had both lawns, but will gladly take this break. It's not a wash, but I'm calling it a quick replacement. This is my second season and slowly it is getter better.

This one is easy… I am living into POSSIBILITY! I have been 'living into' possibility for several years now. The entire Playful Planet path has been one of living into possibility, and even with bumps and bruises and challenges along the way, I continue to live into the possibility of my life being about inspiring kids to a life of health and sustainability from a young age. To me, the bottom line is, I desire that children, early on, can 'GET' that they matter – and that they are powerful in their own world. Erin Ross, a dear friend of mine has started a whole movement: Get That You Matter, and I love her work, and want to help to raise up children that will see her work, and KNOW that it is true.
I have to admit, especially with the imminent November elections, that I sometimes get discouraged with the whole system— the political gridlock, the power of greed and how it is played out over and over, and the seeming impotence of any one individual to create meaningful change. And THEN I think about people in history (like the Ghandi's and Lincoln's and MLK's of the world,) who did make a difference, and who did create change and who did have a positive impact in the world, and I remember: Anything is Possible. And, I also know that there are MANY people out there today creating huge waves of goodness in the world. When I am living into possibility, I get that I am among them, and in whatever way, small or large, that I am able to, I will do my part.
Its an interesting time for Playful Planet with some changes happening internally and some exciting new products nearly ready to share with the world, so I am grateful today that I get to Live Into the POSSIBILITY that it is ALL happening perfectly!!
Stay Playful, Playful Karen
