Unique Child Study by Columbia University wants YOU
Researchers at Columbia University's Paul F. Lazarsfeld Center for the Social Sciences studying how children who are unique in some way are identified and developed. They are currently collecting stories from parents with children who have been identified as gifted, children who have unique artistic, scientific, or physical abilities, children on the autism spectrum, and children who have been identified as having attention disorders. After reviewing it, I thought this might be of interest to some of you.
While all children are unique, the goal of this study is to identify how children with unique developmental abilities or trajectories develop over early childhood.
Peter Bearman, Principal Investigator, Cole Professor of the Social Sciences at the Lazarsfeld Center notes
Parents have different experiences and observations of their child's development and they have different personal resources with which they access services or programs. Parents also differ in the type and extent of their support networks and social relations. And finally, parents make different decisions when finding the right academic, extra-curricular, or other placements for their children. We would like to give parents the chance to tell their stories. Survey responses will help us understand the experiences of unique children as well as their development over time.
They are collecting stories of parents of unique children through an online, semi-structured survey: http://uniquechildstudy.org. You could help their research tremendously by participating in their study. Your answers are not viewable to anyone until you complete the entire survey and submit it so if at any point you feel uncomfortable answering a question, you can abandon the survey. I hope you'll take some time to go over and help this study out with your participation.

Afternoon tea is a great British tradition, and many hotels offer it. It is a light meal eaten in mid-afternoon and consists of tea (or coffee), light sandwiches, cakes, and maybe a scone with some jam and cream.
You would not think that it would be something that children would like to do, but when we were invited to sample afternoon tea at The Cavendish Hotel in London, we jumped at the chance.

Collective Intelligence!
SIR MAY I HAVE ANOTHER. The G-7 are meeting this weekend in England to discuss what the central banks can do to prop up the global economy. There is not expected to be any earth shattering news coming from the meeting. Nevertheless there may be a framework that can be instituted so as to even out the effects. George Osborne, the British Finance Minister, would like a more active involvement and less austerity. The differences amount to growing an economy and keeping it mired in the bog of heavy taxes and recessionary growth. This is also the principal reason for the recent run-up in crude oil prices. Some money managers are looking to oil as a better hedge against inflation than gold. Since there is not a good ETF that mimics the futures price they are forced to move into the pit for the hedge.
OPEC left their forecast for demand growth unchanged at 800 k b/d. They struck a cautionary note regarding Europe as one would expect, but they also showed concern about China's economy. Supplying oil to the giant gives them an inside edge as to the demand and economic growth associated with it. A message of sorrow.
Alan Ableson passed away at the age of 87. We mention him because while working in a luncheonette at 16, I read his column every week in Barron's while assembling the NY Times. He taught me much over the years. He will be missed. He was a giant among financial writers - posted by Stanton Analytics.
Crude: The upside pivot to confirming a low for the day is a break of 94.90 on a 5 min basis. The downside pivot is 94.00. Crude: Is in liquidation mode following the OPEC outlook on the second half of 2013. Brent is breaking its downside pivot of 102.00. WTI is likely to see 93.25 with a break of 93.80 - posted by Stanton Analytics (09:09). Crude: When in liquidation mode the usual price decline ranges from 2.50 to 3.00. We have both pattern matches and retracement zones at the 93.40 to 93.25 area. That should mark a v.s.t. low. If this is correct, there will be a late day rally off this level - posted by Stanton Analytics (09:20). HENRY, Stanton Analytics is the man and goes about it with great aplomb without tooting his horn -- ONE OFTHE BEST PROS I have encountered on the NET - posted by William Blount (10:05). However, we can and will TOOT-TOOT!
Bernanke doesn't talk Fed policy outside of testimonies or FOMC usually...why would the Fed stop something that has been clearly successful for the stock market (and Bernanke's pension which is largely in stocks) - with barely any effect on headline CPI (although the real inflation figure may be different) - posted by Jimmy Ticks (08:01CT). William enjoyed Ben's SPEECH #1 of his farewell tour and how he saved the world--he is simply inoculating his place in history as Alan Greenspan did before him and all the while looking to January while humming the following tune: Lynyrd Skynyrd-Gimme Three Steps... If Yellen comes in she's a straight swap - Jimmy Ticks.
Followup: For anyone that took the gold short from the 1465-1468 area (posted here earlier this week) today is a good day to move stops to B/E or B/E plus a few bucks..We will try to ride this for a retest of the April lows@$1325ish...posted by Matt Z (08:47). Nice trade Matt. $10 of heat turned into $35 profit. Do we dare see $850 someday? < Posted by Tony LaPorta (08:50). Matt replied: At this rate Tony who knows? This thing could get ugly again though....The rounding top in the DX has been negated and with more DX strength likely, the gold should remain on its heels.
Maybe I should check with www.mrtopstep.com ;). Chatter late yesterday that did not materialize today... Talk suggests that Hilsenrath will publish an article around 15:00 EST, claiming that the Fed will taper QE sooner rather than later.

Today's S&P 500 trade started with 245k ESM and 800 SPM traded on Globex, trading range was 1630.00-1624.80. Thursday's regular trading hours (RTH's), pit session trading range was 1632.30-1620.00 before settling at 1624.60 down 4.1 handles. As we awaited Ben Bernanke's 8:30CT prepared text and Q&A session the Fed governor Plosser offered: Fed policy is risky for the future; QE had modest benefit for unemployment; Exit will be harder than expected. At (08:17CT) John Monaco posted the NYSE opening imbalance was evenly split, 50-50% ON THE OPEN.
The regular trading hours opening range was marginally higher, 1625.50-1625.00 traded and traded in a narrow range. Jack Broz (08:46:43): risky w/bernanke talking but we're gonna sell bonds 145.26/25 targeting 145.16. The S&P experience what has become an oddity in 2013, a down day yesterday. Today, the S&P had an intraday trading range of 8 handles, 1628.80 - 1620.30 and spent much of the time midrange.The transports, [DJT] and the Russell 2,000, [RUT] firmed up as well while the Dow, [DJIA] was marginally lower. Crude and the treasuries were taking it on the chin, spiking sharply lower. Jimmy Ticks (10:24:31): interesting that oil and commodities are down but stocks firm.... implies no liquidation of positions or margin calls. Actually, today was an inside trading day for the S&P, traded within the previous days range which generally is not too exciting for traders and combine that with a spring Friday in the city - accordingly, traders left early.
Midday the US treasuries: More bargain-hunting buying comes in here from US fast money, 10-year note yields are at 1.89%. Earlier Tsys uptick occurred off session lows as black boxes sold S&P Eminis / vs. bought Tsy 10Y futures, reversing earlier NY trade. US Stocks market indexes narrowly mixed: DJIA and S&P 500 off fractionally, while Nasdaq up fractionally; European stock indexes closed up fractionally though Italy's FTSE-MIB closed up 1.13%.

Marine council recommends limits on fishing for black sea bass
A local marine advisory council has recommended new restrictions on recreational fishing for black sea bass, an abundant species that many have turned to as limits for fluke and striped bass also have been tightened.
In a 6-2 vote this week, with two abstentions, the Marine Resources Advisory Council voted to implement a new split season for black sea bass, and, notably, to increase the minimum fish size to 15 inches from a former 14 inches. A final decision on whether to adopt the council's recommendation, which is expected, could take several weeks.
The new rules recommended by the council, made up of local commercial and recreational anglers, boat captains and gear retailers, would open the black sea bass season on July 8 with anglers allowed to keep five fish. On Sept. 1, the limit would increase to eight fish. On Nov. 1, it would increase to 10 fish. The minimum size limit is 15 inches through the year.
Jim Gilmore, chief of the marine resources division of the state Department of Environmental Conservation, said the new rules come despite wide anecdotal evidence that the black sea bass are plentiful in local waters, and are even being seen expanding as far away as New Hampshire.
"There are pretty large numbers of them," he said.
However, official stock assessments of black sea bass are largely viewed as inaccurate, and so regulators have had to turn to the most conservative measures to make certain the fish are not overfished. "It's a pretty bad situation," Gilmore said, though he said he expects a new assessment later this year could lead to more liberalized quotas next year.
The new recreational limits don't affect the commercial fishery for black sea bass, which opened Jan 3. The current commercial daily limit is 50 pounds with an 11-inch minimum fish size.
At a sometimes heated meeting last week, a roomful of party and charter boat captains questioned the need for such strict new limits at a time when black sea bass appear by most anecdotal accounts to be among the region's most plentiful fish.
Anglers also took issue with claims from the DEC that New York had a more than 30 percent noncompliance rate with black sea bass fishing rules, based on stops by enforcement officers at dockside. Many noted that the move to increase the size of keeper fish, even by an inch, would ultimately result in greater damage to smaller fish that have to be thrown back.
Black sea bass caught in the deepest local waters have an air bladder that inflates as they are brought to the surface. If the fish aren't "vented" with a special tool, they float and die.
"You've burdened us with more rules," said James Schneider, captain of the James Joseph party boat in Huntington. "Why is it your goal to crush New York state" fishing interest?
Gilmore countered that the DEC is charged with implementing quotas from the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the federal body that sets them, with a little leeway given to the states on how to divvy up the quotas. "The plan is bestowed upon us, and we fight to get a better deal for New York," he said. "There's no goal here to do economic hardship."

Casting the Nets
Lawrence Schweig did not have shrimp on his mind when he opened his tiny storefront operation in 1950. He knew seafood, though, and was determined to make a success from this small beginning. A first generation American, he and his wife Eila pursued their dreams while raising four children. All would have a role in Lawrence's growth and success.
As the business grew, the family added to the physical structure and improved it. In addition to the signature shrimp, which were offered either fried, boiled or smoked, Lawrence partnered with local fishermen and invested in boats to harvest the best fish Lake Michigan had to offer. He smoked fish on site to maintain quality control and added another dimension to the business. The best seafood in Chicago would be caught and distributed to restaurants and hotels throughout the city from this location. Lawrence's Fisheries and Schweig Smoked Fish quickly earned a reputation for value and quality. The retail business expanded to 24 hours of operation to meet the needs of shift workers in the area.
Rising Tide
Following Lawrence's sudden death in 1965, Lawrence's Fisheries and Schweig Smoked Fish continued to grow under the leadership of eldest son Lawrence and his brother Richard and brother-in-law Bohus Ulicny.
Lawrence left the business to pursue international prospects in the fishing industry, and brother David came on board as a new store was built. During this time, commercial fishing ended on the lake, and Lawrence's Fisheries transitioned from to a new variety of products, all with the same attention to quality and value. A few years later Richard's son-in-law John and Bohus' son-in-law Doug joined the team and the third generation began to work towards moving Lawrence's into the future. As the surrounding neighborhood began to change, Lawrence's added a dining area to meet customers' needs.
Charting the Future
More than sixty years have passed since the dream began for Lawrence Schweig. The third generation looks forward to further opportunities for growth in the business. John Griffin, Kurt Schweig and Lee Griffin continue the family tradition begun in 1950 – to serve you delicious seafood at great value with the best customer service.
Visit our Lighthouse page to learn about our commitment to making a difference in our community and the world. We look forward to serving you in the future and hope to hear from you soon!

Real Estate Law and Land Use Policy
8 Week Course
Location: Your Office
Format: Online
Real Estate Law and Land Use Policy is a survey course designed to familiarize students with many of the legal issues commercial real estate practitioners deal with on a regular basis. It provides an overview of the so-called "bundle of rights" associated with real estate ownership, as well as a thorough analysis of the contractual agreements used to create and transfer those rights. Emerging trends in municipal land use regulation and public-private partnerships are also analyzed to help students gain a better understanding of the policy tools government entities rely upon to stimulate, control and tax real estate development. Students completing the course should be in a better position to identify and evaluate potential legal problems involved in complex commercial real estate development and investment transactions.
Charles Schilke, AM, JD, CRE, FRICS

In this session, we'll define real property and review real property rights. We'll also examine possessory and non-possessory interests in real property as well as discuss different forms of co-ownership of real property.
Students will review the essential elements of a valid contract and learn how to summarize remedies available in the event of breach of contract. We'll also look at how to analyze key contractual provisions.
This session will relate the concept of legal title to real property rights, compare and contrast different types of deeds, plus delve into the process of voluntarily transferring title.
This week, students will learn how to identify sources of debt financing and review common loan documents. Students will discuss construction loans and permanent loans and explore different types of security interests.
In this session, we'll consider the legal concerns of developers, contractors and lenders. Students will learn to evaluate contractual methods of allocating risks and responsibilities. We'll also discuss the legal relationship between contractors and subcontractors.
This session begins by considering ways commercial real estate leases mitigate risk. Then discussion continues with emerging trends in real estate lease structures and evaluating the legal remedies available in the event of default.
Students will learn how to evaluate justifications for government intervention in land markets. We'll discuss introducing sources of government authority to regulate the use of land as well as municipal zoning ordinances and the rezoning process.
In this final class session, students will learn how to define public-private partnerships (PPPs) and their role in the real estate sector. We'll evaluate opportunities and challenges involved in PPPs and discuss public finance and regulatory tools used in them. We'll discuss public finance and regulatory tools used in PPPs and explore the legal, political and economic implications of PPPs. Students will also have the opportunity to review case studies involving the use of PPPs.

Maps Unit for Preschoolers
When we opened our Little Passports kit for the first time it was the large, colorful map that our kids were most excited about. Our twins quickly unfolded it on the floor, their eyes wide, as they asked me to help them find where we live and where their grandparents live. We hung it up in our Group Time area next to our calendar and it has been integrated into our learning.
Although maps have been a curiosity for a while, the Little Passports map made it a focus of interest. Maps are everywhere and learning how to use them is an important skill. Here are some additional ideas for learning about maps with preschoolers both from our unit and from other kid bloggers I love.
(affiliate links are included in this post)
Learning about Maps on the Go
Maps are a natural learning experience to integrate into learning on the go.
Adults frequently use maps to find things, navigate to and through spaces, and more. Our son in particular has noticed this and loves to take advantage of maps at places like the zoo or nature trails to help navigate our way.
Some tips for using maps with kids:
*Point them out when they are displayed. Often they are placed at adult eye level and children might miss them.
*Grab an extra map for your child to hold and use when a paper one is available.
*Crouch down and help them read the map. Ask them where they want to go and then help them find the route with their finger.
*Continue as you navigate through the space if they are interested.
*Use direction words when you are driving or walking to increase familiarity with the vocab. "We are turning left" or "We need to go North to get to the library," etc.

Reading Maps
Obviously reading maps is one of the major skills children are working on acquiring when working with maps. Here are some simple ways we have been working on this skill.
Maps & Trains
As I described above, with a little prompt our twins drew a map during the planning stage of a new track layout. They drew the track and then pointed out to me where they wanted to various spots such as stations and docks. Then we propped up the map on a ledge and referred to it while we built the track.
Maps to Find Snack
This has been a favorite activity the past two weeks. I hide their snack somewhere in the house and then draw them each a map. When they come down after Quiet Time they use their map to navigate the house and find their snack. They love this activity and the repetition is offering plenty of experience reading maps.
Drawing Maps
With our twins this has been a self initiated activity. One of the benefits of having art and drawing materials available to your child daily and having extending time for free play is that they are able to create how and when they want. The above picture was taking during one of our afternoons. Our kids were playing with pretend animals and he decided to draw a map of their zoo. Another example is the train map pictured below. I asked if they wanted to make a map of their train tracks before they created a new layout. Simple prompts and suggestions like that can encourage map drawing which is a wonderful pre-literacy activity.
Printables Pack
If you are looking for more preschool maps unit activities, a pack of printables that I used with my twins is available on Teachers Pay Teachers. It has a literacy activity, measurement activity, original song about maps, and more. For details or to purchase, click here.

Employment Surges
May 10, 2004
Assessing President Bush's reelection chances based on the state of the economy, Bruce Bartlett says that Friday's employment report confirms that the economic expansion is accelerating:
- In April, 288,000 payroll jobs were created -- almost double the consensus forecast of 150,000.
- Coming on top of the 337,000 new jobs created in March (revised up from 308,000), the economy has now created 625,000 jobs in just two months.
- The economy has now averaged 5 percent real growth over the past year, and grew 4.2 percent in the first quarter of 2004.
Leading indicators are all pointing toward an acceleration of growth in the economy and jobs in coming months. For example:
- Initial claims for unemployment insurance have dropped steadily and are now at their lowest level since October 2000.
The insured jobless rate has fallen to 2.3 percent, the lowest level since the end of the recession in November 2001.
- The Institute for Supply Management, an industry group, has seen its manufacturing employment index jump to the highest level in 15 years, signaling growth in manufacturing employment of 50,000 per month.
- With goods-producing employment having risen by 124,000 in just the last 2 months, this forecast looks very good.
- The ISM's index of capacity utilization is up to 85.6 percent indicates a coming burst of corporate investment as businesses scramble to add new capacity.
Finally, the Congressional Budget Office reports that profits are rising so fast that corporate income tax revenues are 45 percent above their level this time last year, and CBO now sees federal revenues $30 billion to $40 billion higher than it anticipated.

text: Hello, My Wiimote is not working correctly and I am unsure why. Well, on Sunday I took my Wiimote to a relatives house and was playing Wii Sports for a good hour. Suddenly, in the middle of a game of bowling the Wiimote just stopped being sensor read (if thats what you call it). In other words - My Wiimote functions correctly in the buttons, is full battery, shows the blue cursor on screen and can work in all ways until the point where I swing a shot for tennis or attempt to bowl in bowling. No matter how many times I swing it cannot be read/transmitted to the Wii, so I believe the sensor is not working. If anyone has experienced this issue and knows how to fix it, I would be forever grateful. The Wiimote is original and about 3 years old.

This interview series, "Conversations after the Fall: Interviews with Contemporary Russian Poets," began as part of my Thomas J. Watson Fellowship year (1992-1993). This interview took place in 1996.
Olesia Nikolaeva was born in Moscow in 1955 and graduated from the Gorky Literature Institute in 1979. She joined the Writers' Union in 1988 and has been a member of Russian PEN Center since 1993. She is a winner of the Boris Pasternak Prize, a past holder of a scholarship from the Alfred Tepfer Fund (Germany, 1998) and a winner of the City of Grenoble Medal (France, 1990). She is the author of twelve volumes of poetry, in addition to numerous prose books and collections of religious journalism. Olesia Nikolaeva's works have been translated into English, Italian, German, French and Japanese.
Philip Metres: What's your view of contemporary Russian poetry?
Olesia Nikolaeva: Let's begin with the previous period of literature, Soviet literature. In the background of official literature was the "underground." In the background of Soviet aesthetic, another aesthetic could exist that rebelled against the Soviet aesthetic. In the Soviet aesthetic, different streams existed. There was a pro-Western stream (that is, it seemed at the time to be pro-Western). A unity of cultures meant two poles, as it were, a Soviet and a Western pole…
PM: Wasn't there also a stream of peasant poetry?
ON: Well, yes. It's not entirely a "peasant stream," but in general, yes. The fundamental value of peasant life is located in Christianity, but peasant life conserved these spiritual, human values. In the city, all that is invisible… Now, perestroika arrives and ends, and this unified field of existing literature ends. The "underground" becomes official. You understand, Lev Rubinstein, once an underground poet, now reads his texts for huge auditoriums of people, like it was during perestroika. That was nonsense. Absolute nonsense—when what was once considered underground now becomes official culture. They begin to travel abroad, begin to represent Russian poetry. It's a completely symbolic situation.
And so a poet feels as if he were taken out of his usual context. First, the writer begins to feel, in this new situation of mass culture, that no one needs him, departing from the meaning once given to the printed word here. It used to be difficult to publish. Why? Because the printed word was feared. You needed to get some institutional permission. The Politburo, during its meetings, used to look through the publication Novy Mir. Can you imagine that? It was for us as if an American senator sat and analyzed and discussed some short story in The New Yorker, discussing its structure and meaning. Quite absurd. The writer felt himself a very important figure because they were afraid of him. They were afraid of him, and people would run up to him as if he were an expert. As if he were an expert in agriculture, in spiritual life (like a church father), a philosopher, a ruler.
PM: This was also true in Dostoyevsky's time.
ON: Yes, it's always been that way. In Russian literature the writer has always had a "tormented" role. But in the Soviet era it was completely crazy. And then perestroika came. Half the literary journals closed down, and if something were published then no one noticed: "Whatever you want, go ahead." The writer suddenly had no influence in society. No one reads; no one reacts. Literature doesn't exist. I don't exist. There are no people analyzing what's taking place in literature. So it's working out that an absolute literary vacuum is coming into being, a vacuum that is completely full of disorder and is difficult to figure out. Perhaps literature is just getting its bearings.
PM: Isn't this related to the new "freedom of expression"?
ON: Of course it is. It's connected to many things. First, the absence of censors, complete absence of censors. What does a censor do here? It's been noted already. You know Andrey Bitov? He was correct, I believe, in noticing that the censor was an element in the expression of [literary] form. That is, the censor was like some restriction (for them an example of expression) for the writer, who expressed his ideas in metaphors, images, etc. Then when freedom of expression began, suddenly writers began to feel that no one needed them. They found themselves in a real problem—the literary crisis after perestroika. During perestroika, everyone that wrote was published. And suddenly when one could say everything, it seemed that one could say almost nothing.
PM: So how are you dealing with this situation?
ON: You know, I think that I'm an atypical case. I'm atypical in this way: I'm a person existing within two layers of culture, simultaneously. On the one hand, of course, I entered the literary life very early, and existed as if I were both official and underground. That is, I was given themes to publish, but everything was with difficulty, and of course, censored. That's on the one hand. And also within this writing context, I started publishing very early. On the other hand, I had very strong support from a completely different cultural layer. This layer was the Church (monasteries, monasticism, etc.). What is a monastery? It's a gathering of people who have left the world, but who were poets, artists, graphic artists, police, peasants—all in one monastery. The monastery is a cultural formation. Because of its support, I always had it a little easier, I could run from one to the other. I had backup. When there was a literature crisis here, when all seemed hopeless, a desert with nowhere to go, I always had friends, always had this other region. I could always run there. I had the feeling of being influenced by the new Church. It helped me as a writer very much, because during the crisis I took up new things. I began to learn Greek, lectured in the literary institute, etc. I had a way to leave the crisis and return anew. And those who were stuck in the purely literary context, it was very difficult for them. Very difficult. Because the context turned you on your head. The earth simply rocked and quaked.
PM: So you had another way out. What place does your faith have in your poetry?
ON: Faith is simply a region of metaphysics. I think that real beauty cannot exist without some kind of metaphysical root. It loses its fragrance very quickly. If we're speaking of faith's place, then I'd say it is the source…
PM: Some more purely aesthetic poets often say that one must make a distinction between poetry and belief.
ON: Well, these poles are not unique—because faith is so aesthetic and always has been aesthetic, in its very nature. No, in general, in all its elements. Let's say the [Orthodox] Church has its magic texts, the Psalms, the ceremony in which faith is enshrouded, etc. If we just glance at it, we see a huge aesthetic tradition compared with the purely literary version, say the Silver Age. With its oral creativity, with the astonishing tradition of pronunciation in the Church, even the Silver Age seems a pale imitation. Because the Silver Age tried to continue this tradition but in a paler way. Much has been written about that. You could write a whole book on the Christian allusions in the work of the Silver Age, in the work of Blok, Tsvetaeva, Akhmatova, Mandelstam, Pasternak, etc. You could write a huge tome on that. Moreover, when I had enough experience in life, I understood that a person could have his own ideas about faith and that these ideas could be simply more profound than the ideas of aesthetics. But if you've read any contemporary religious text, you'll find that most are amazing, stunning even. So I don't know: I think that it's a false assertion. Probably whoever suggested this notion to you was thinking of fanaticism. And fanaticism is something else entirely.
PM: Why did you begin writing poems?
ON: It was a story just like one that I later read from Nabokov, "The Luzhin Defense." I was probably around eight years old. I had a girlfriend, and we were together at the dacha. We walked around the orchard and the grounds. It was quite a mystical atmosphere (wind blowing in the emptiness), and I decided that I would write poetry. It was a mistake of fate. I thought it was completely rational. After this I began to write prose and poetry, and wrote about a family in the 16th century, a chronicle of sorts. And later I began to have the feeling that it was my vocation. So I began to write very early. In general I think that poetry is the most primal means of expression, because when there are periods that I don't write, I feel very deficient. You know why? Because I stop understanding the main passage of fate. Because I have the kind of relationship to poems whereby if I don't know something, I'll understand it when I write about it.
PM: I feel the same way. When I'm not writing, I can't seem to take in the world. Could you say that your work has changed as a result of recent events in this country, namely the fall of the Soviet Union?
ON: No, I can't say that it has. No. Such things don't have an effect on me. There are poets with a very strong social bent, and they work with social effects. I make some social allusions, but it's just conversational language, not specifically social.
PM: So you have a more intimate, inner relation to your poetry?
ON: You know, I wrote an article about the fall of the Soviet Union as a consequence of the decentering of identity itself. If we speak of inner experience, then people's inner mentality simply changed—and the U.S.S.R. fell. The nucleus began to come apart, fell apart from the inside. That change of mentality, perhaps, affected me more than the events themselves.
PM: So the changes had already occurred inside people?
ON: Absolutely.
PM: Could you comment on this quotation? "The market can become the grave of culture. Privatization of culture is first and foremost privatization of the soul."
ON: First, culture has more than one meaning—there's mass culture, elite culture. We lived through an epoch (the Soviet period) when mass culture and elite culture were mixed together. Let me explain. It's rather amusing. At the end of the 70s, or the very beginning of the 80s, suddenly and unexpectedly, it was decided by our government that the poets of the Silver Age should be published. They had been forbidden, and now they were to be published, these "elitist" texts. At the time, there was a congress of collective farm workers, and the participants were awarded with "deficit products," precious rare commodities: crystal vases, carpets and a copy of Tsvetaeva. Because of its "elitism," this poetry became a fact of mass culture. All culture was symbolic. It was just a system of signs.
For example, a huge tome of Innocent Annensky, a poet at the end of last century (a huge influence on Akhmatova and a real cultural father), was published in 150,000 copies. It was very elite, very refined, for a small circle of poets. So this book came out, in a very bad newspaper, sold in kiosks—and it sold out immediately. Not because it was Annensky (his grace, his spiritual brilliance), but because it was forbidden—and now it was allowed. And thus we had this confusion where elite culture became mass culture, even if it was generally for an elite culture. Lev Rubinstein's work, for example, was intended for the 10 people with whom he began writing. He didn't count on a huge crowd of people, applauding even if they didn't understand his writing. Everything just continues toward this. It was this way and will continue to be this way. You know what's happened? Even if you weren't published, if you sat among some yard-keepers or watched guard, if you wrote on a piece of paper unrhymed lines, you already think that you're not a yard-keeper, but a poet. A moment of prestige. And now it's almost not decent to write. But in general that's just what it's like in America, I understand. What's a writer? A bum.
In our institute, there had been a huge influx of students. Every year there was a creative competition, and there was such suffering because of all the crowds, all the work, and because it was very prestigious. It was so prestigious that (here's an example) I could go to the train station, and there wouldn't be any tickets, so I would go to the stationmaster and show my documents, that I'm a writer and get a ticket. Now that would never happen. Now, at the institute, we have very few people who want to enroll. Because many want to be managers, businessmen and no one's interested. Perhaps just like in America, now a well-known writer cannot even write and live on his publications. It's not possible. Rubinstein is now a journalist, Gandlevsky works at the Foreign Literature journal. I don't believe they worked when they were in the underground—no, Rubinstein was a librarian. If before there was a huge interest in writing culture, it was because writing was a means of survival of a horrible reality, Soviet reality. It was like a kind of antidote (poems of Brodsky, say, or Rubinstein, someone going here, someone organizing something there). Now, that's over. People go to psychics, extra-sensory practitioners, etc. I think the days of gathering huge people for poetry are over. Perhaps there will be a cultural interest, who's doing what, what's happening, but no longer as a requirement for life, for survival. Perhaps what's happening now is no worse than what's happening in your country. And that's also an interesting thing, because we have such different traditions. We also weren't always under Soviet power, we had an 18th, 19th century. We always had a societal relation to literature. We had a different mystery. And so it's interesting to guess what will come next for us, what will follow. I don't have any prognoses. I don't know. I think, in the end, there will be an elite culture with its circle of readers, mass culture and simply full freedom to do what you desire.
PM: Complete this sentence: "Only in Russia…
ON: I don't know. In this country we have so many amusing elements. Such a rattling mixture, namely because there are many languages—not, say, Yiddish or Ukrainian, but languages of mentality. We have Russian people who will speak in such a way that another Russian will have no idea what they're saying. I don't know how this period (liberalism, freedom of speech), how that will affect these people. The thing is that we were always told, since "village prose," that the Russian man is so dreamy; he doesn't do anything practical, can barely move. And yet this recent period of our life (market reform, privatization) did not result in merely another immigration to America. Nothing of the kind. The Russian is very practical, very vital, surprisingly alive. Adjusts stunningly. Adapts at a moment's notice. It's very interesting when such a human metamorphosis occurs. It's not the human being changing. He just has the ability within him already. When yesterday's Communist Woman (who sat and observed the students, such a terrifying aunt—we had such ideological aunts, so severe, obese, with the harshest glares) suddenly is wearing tight Western clothes…and it's not just the clothes! It's to know that something inside them was broken. This is about mentality. We lived in such poverty, such squalid conditions, and when we saw Western films, we felt enchanted just by the clothes. We had a dream of Western life, because it seemed like a fairy tale, and so of course there was such a romantic relationship. And now in any Russian province, in far Siberia, any particular perfume may be found. It's perhaps just a little worse than what we have here in Moscow. People have begun to experience a modicum of comfort, not functional rationality. The relationship was once romantic and now much more functional. Once, we dreamed about reading Western philosophers, and later they just blended into this context, for there already was a societal philosophic culture. It's also an interesting relationship. Now it's very pragmatic. Now one can go to the West and earn money, live there and not waste any money…
PM: What aim do you have when you write poems?
ON: I strive to some ecstasy, because occasionally when I'm writing something, if I'm succeeding in touching some reality, it fills with an ecstasy. Then I think that I've reached my goal. Because I'm a professional I can write about anything: write poems, verse, articles, novels, short stories, book reviews, etc., practically everything but plays. I've never written a play. I can write just about in any form—but perhaps that's a bit cold
When I write I must feel some surprising inspiration. That's probably how it is. Perhaps even some spiritual experience, because I arrived at the conclusion that when you sit and write about what you know, you will never experience wonder. But when you write something you don't know, suddenly something, some power, begins to help you. When I feel that strength. I'll think: "But I didn't know that; that's impossible!" Of course that doesn't happen often, but it does at times. Of course I think that the goal of creative work is some feeling of transfiguring the world. Transfiguration. A writer can write about anything, the most trite, commonplace thing, absolutely. If there's a transfiguration, then there's inspiration, ecstasy, a completely new region of life—the feeling of freedom. Not official freedom, but the sense that you're free, liberated, you've broken loose from all cause-and-effect connections. I think, if you write yourself, if it doesn't affect you, doesn't torment you, then no one else is going to feeling anything when reading your work. If you yourself float down that river, then your reader can as well.
PM: Do you have any questions for me?
ON: Well, I'm very interested in what's happening in poetry in Europe and America; of course that's interesting to me. But I think that the greatest poet was David, or Solomon, of the Song of Songs. I'm interested in the intersecting fields of poetry and religion. How does that intersection manifest itself in America?
PM: In different ways. It's a dangerous area, because there's a cynicism about religion. Everyone wants to live his own way. The poet wants to write something, and yet, as Gandlevsky said, "Teacher, stop your teaching!" The poet W.S. Merwin, for example, writes in a prophetic, elliptical style. James Merrill wrote an interesting epic poem, The Changing Light at Sandover, composed of ouija conversations with the spirit world. Perhaps that's not interesting to you, but he was seriously involved with it, for years. Robert Cording, another American religious poet and my teacher, his second book, What Binds Us to This World, takes the root word of religion—"religio"; to bind—in its title. I also happen to like the early poems of Rilke, about Russia, which have been translated. Is there a good Russian translation of Rilke?
ON: Yes, we're very lucky—Pasternak translated him. Of course, Pasternak pulled his own poetry into his translations, so actually, Rilke speaks from Pasternak's lips. Pasternak translated Rilke, and various Georgian poets, that way. They turned out very well, but they sound like Pasternak.
I've heard that rhymed poems, because of structural reasons in the English language, have an ironic or completely comic effect on readers. So now blank verse or free verse is written most of all.
PM: Of course there are good rhymed poems, even now, but our tradition begins with Walt Whitman's free verse—not "free verse" exactly, but something from the King James Version of the Bible. Do you write poems with rhyme and meter?
ON: I write poems with rhyme, not pure free verse, mostly intonated blank verse, but not always. Some time ago, I wrote very precise, metrical poems. I began to feel very confined by it. I wanted to breathe a little, break out of the form. So I began to write in very long, endless lines, which I didn't understand until a rhyme might appear in the line. I used conventional ABAB rhyme schemes, finding the rhyme at times in the middle of the line. They would almost unconsciously rhyme; the rhymes prompted me. Sometimes I think I'm writing prose and suddenly I'm excited to find out that it rhymes. So rhymes help me, prompt me on to what's further. The Russian language can rhyme endlessly because of its regular endings to cases and nouns. There's more possibility to rhyme in Russian than in English. I tell my students that if you write in rhyme, you must remember that rhyme has a mystical meaning—that if you have an untrue rhyme then you haven't said something the right way yet. You must say something in such a way so that the search for meaning prompts you.
You can go on holiday now, you can dabble in verse,
Or buy yourself a red coat with buttons in shocking pink:
You can make good money, or bad, or worse;
You can do the Lotto, you can take your friends for a drink.
You can get your house seen to, get your car fixed, or your teeth:
You can demonstrate, stop the world going down the drain;
You can say what you like about politics, or the police,
Or sit and look all morning at the falling rain.
You can rig up a darkened mirror on your own window-sill
To tell your fortune by the stars, draw down the kindly light:
You can pack up a parcel with a purple wax seal
And send it to Chile, or doodle with ash off your cigarette.
Now there aren't any rules and we've torn up the script
You can do all that, and more. But what's the point?

SALT LAKE CITY (February 21, 2017) – A team led by two researchers from Stanford University recently reported a breakthrough powered by Blackrock Microsystems' technology: The scientists implanted a brain-computer-interface (BCI) that enabled three patients with severe limb weakness to type via direct brain control at the highest speeds and accuracy levels reported to date. Participants demonstrated typing up to 40 characters per minute (6-8 words per minute) faster by a factor of 3 over what has been shown before.
"What the researchers have done is ground-breaking, they have given a voice to people with paralysis," says Florian Solzbacher, Co-Founder of Blackrock Microsystems and a Professor at the University of Utah. The researchers have been working with Blackrock equipment for a long time. For this specific research project the scientists implanted the Utah Array into the brains of three patients with severely weakened limbs — two from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and one from a spinal cord injury. The Utah Array is a tiny silicon chip that can record electrical activity of individual nerve cells in the brain. With its 100 electrodes on a baby-aspirin-sized surface, the Utah Array makes it possible to acquire high-density recordings from the brain and is therefore the basis for the newest generation of BCIs.
The Utah Array is a 4mm x 4mm silicon chip that can record the activity of individual neurons in the brain. "We are very proud that the Utah Array is uniquely positioned with FDA 510(k) marketing clearance, and has been featured in several high profile investigational device studies such as those led by the BrainGate consortium" said Blackrock founder Florian Solzbacher. The Utah Array records signals from individual nerve cells in the motor cortex, a region of the brain controlling muscle movement. With the help of Blackrock's Patient Cable, these signals are transmitted to Blackrock's NeuroPort Biopotential Signal Processing system. The NeuroPort system enables researchers to translate the signals from the brain into point-and-click commands guiding a cursor to characters on an onscreen keyboard.
Florian Solzbacher adds: "We are looking forward to participating in future breakthroughs of our customers, for example with our wireless neural recording equipment and innovative electrode designs."
