What Do We Mean By Creative Writing?
By Heidi Ann Smith
What is creative writing? By this question I do not mean to ask how we can cause those who are not creative writers to understand a work of creative writing rather, by this question, I mean to provoke others to ask how we might understand the question. For a long time I labeled myself as 'a free-verse poet' until it occurred to me that if I did not label myself as aligned with any particular genre I might have more creative writing options. Rosemary Butcher argues that, "the thesis is produced in a sense in the making of the work". By this I mean to suggest that a creatively written text is evidence of a performance that has ended and that the performance must not aim at reproduction and by 're-production', I mean a 'preconceived' idea. If a creative writer is aware how a creative writing performance will end before the writing process has begun this necessarily limits the creativity since the nature of creativity implies that something will 'arise' or 'come to light'. It is in the making of the text that the artist supplies the necessary space and all of the materials that provoke a work of art to come into being.
Some may argue with the above proposition by asserting that anything can be interpreted as a work of art, for example, by arguing that Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" (1917) and other 'readymade' art proponents, have demonstrated that anything 'chosen' by an artist can be a work of art. If you will recall, Duchamp argued that a urinal is a work of art simply because he 'chose' to submit urinal to an art exhibit (that claimed it would present all works of art). Duchamp signed the urinal with the pseudonym, 'R. Mutt'. I would counter this argument by suggesting that the work of art was the designer of the urinal not Duchamp. 'Choosing' a common object and signing a pseudonym does not instantiate a work of art no matter how famous the artist's signature or how 'well chosen' the object. In terms of creative writing, the previous argument would imply, for example, that the poet Mark Strand could sign his name to a store receipt and that store receipt would suddenly become a creatively written artifact. While an object signed by a famous poet may be of value, history demonstrates that monetary value or affiliation with someone famous does not necessarily translate into a work of art. Vincent van Gogh, for example, sold only one painting in his lifetime (and received very little money for it) and Friedrich Nietzsche and Charles Peirce's writings did not gain popularity until after their deaths. The previous examples demonstrate that the artist informs the field of artistic practice, not the viewer or the object, no matter how well 'chosen'. How was Vincent van Gogh's "Starry Night" altered by the viewer's ever increasing appreciation of it? How was Duchamp's urinal informed by Duchamp's artistic practice? While some may suggest that anything is a work of art, I would argue along the lines suggested by Deleuze that a work of art is 'molded' by a skilled and practicing artisan and that the work of art itself 'causes sensations' or 'affects' regardless of the viewer. Is a tree in a forest, a tree in a forest, if no human is there to view it? Following along similar lines of reasoning, some may want to say that a machine is a work of art. I suggest that a machine may be a work of art but a machine cannot manufacture an art theory, a machine can only instantiate an art theory. Artists are creators of art theories that arise in the 'making' of the work of art. If this is not the case, then what are the fundamental notions by which we might arrive at understanding of what we mean by 'creative writing' and what are the conditions that allow or cause a work of creative writing to come into being?
About Heidi Ann Smith
Heidi Ann Smith grew up in the Chicago area and began publishing poems as a child. At a young age, she won various local and academic awards for her writing; based on her writing abilities, she was awarded a scholarship to a private high school and attended college courses during her high school years. After high school she began raising a family and was taken away from her writing, but soon returned to complete a Bachelor of Arts from Eastern Illinois University. She then earned a Master of Arts in Humanities from California State University and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Goddard College. Several of her poems recently found homes in various journals, and she published a scholarly thesis on the German artist George Grosz. Heidi is currently a PhD student studying Creative Writing at Middlesex University in London, England. THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY is her first novel.

About The Clara Ann Burns Story
In Heidi Ann Smith's short novel THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY, a woman who suffered child abuse looks back over her turbulent life as she approaches her fifties. Smith describes it as "a story of a young girl, Clara Ann Burns, who was tortured, abused and neglected by her family. When she was old enough to go out on her own, she got herself into situations that were not always the best. But in the end she raises her own family and holds onto the hope of healing and living without fear."
Smith explains that the story "is based on some of my life experiences," which included sexual abuse. "I needed to write this book–and I needed to have the right and the freedom to bring together different events."
Rather than creating a traditional narrative text from start to finish, in THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY, Smith–who holds one master's degree in fine arts in creative writing, another in humanities, and is a PhD student in creative writing–chose to express child abuse and loss by experimenting with literary genre. The result is that the protagonist, Clara Ann Burns, tells her story through written memories (short stories, lists, poems, one-minute plays) and memorabilia (hospital records, photographs, personal records). All are presented without explanation: a grandmother cooks breakfast while she speaks to her deceased husband; a mother scalds her child in a bathtub; the funeral processions of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.; the death of a child's father; and the rape of a stepdaughter. This multi-genre approach, Smith feels, more accurately conveys "the impossibility of piecing together this story, and reflects the inconsistencies of an abuse victim's memories that tend to jump from one instance of abuse to the next, rather than flowing through, perhaps, what might be considered the normal ups and downs of life."
In addition, Smith points out, "These isolated memories of abuse that flash through Clara's mind are what it means to have post-traumatic stress disorder. I suggest further that these isolated incidents also represent the perplexity of healing from prolonged neglect and abuse, since a constant state of fear is what is most familiar to Clara since she was abused by family members and friends for many years. If a child believes his or her own family is not adverse to his or her own torture, neglect, or rape, the child cannot survive as emotionally or psychologically intact. In Clara's case, the abuse is pervasive, there is no relief for many years, nor hope of relief until she is an older woman and capable of looking at what happened to her objectively through the instantiation of the events as presented in the text."
Despite the personal inspiration behind THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY, Smith's academic and scholarly understanding of both creative writing and fine art informs the book's power. She likens writing to fine art: "All the great artists I studied reflected their life; in a great work of art, you cannot extricate the artist's life from their work. When you look at a work of art by Van Gogh or Caravaggio you see some truth about their life. For me, the truth does not necessarily read like a biography; there are details that are blurred from your view. When I was engaged in the writing process, some things that were hidden from my view came out–which may grab the reader because it hit me as well."
Smith hopes that readers who can identify with THE CLARA ANN BURNS STORY will find some comfort in it. "When I was a little girl I was very sick and I didn't have a happy home life. I started reading poetry, and I felt some kind of resonance and a kindred spirit with the other writer's work. I hope my work will reach someone and that they will also know that they are not alone." And, she adds, "I also hope the work is received as a work of literature."

text: Oil and sheen have been visible in recent months due to seepage near BP's Macondo well [Erika Blumenfeld/Al Jazeera]New Orleans, LA - It was the largest marine oil disaster in the United States, and now BP's trial is the largest and most complex environmental lawsuit in US history.In what is being called by many "The Trial of the Century", a thousand plaintiffs, a multitude of witnesses, and at least 20,000 exhibits will converge at a US district court in New Orleans, Louisiana, on March 5 for litigation surrounding BP's oil disaster that began on April 20, 2010, when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in the Gulf of Mexico. US President Barack Obama, two months after the blowout, referred to [the BP spill] as "the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced". The disaster caused at least 4.9 million barrels of oil to gush into the Gulf, a situation that was compounded by at least 1.9 million gallons of toxic Corexit dispersants used to sink the oil.Louisiana's fishing and shrimping industries continue to suffer, large numbers of Gulf residents suffer health problems they blame on BP's chemicals, and tar balls and destroyed marsh lands persist across much of the affected areas of the Gulf Coast.US President Barack Obama, two months after the blowout, referred to it as "the worst environmental disaster America has ever faced".The first of this three-phase trial will focus on litigation around the Clean Water Act and Oil Spill Pollution Act, in order to determine BP's liability, and whether the oil giant's behaviour around the accident was grossly or criminally negligent.This initial litigation, however, does not involve the National Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA), a legal process to determine the type and amount of restoration needed to compensate the public for harm to natural resources and their human uses that occurred as a result of BP's oil disaster."This assessment is not completed yet," Cyn Sarthough, the executive director of the Gulf Restoration Network (GRN), told Al Jazeera. "We're interested in this first phase of the trial because, if BP is not found criminally or grossly negligent, we don't get 80 per cent of the funds we will use for coastal restoration that we are hoping for."Tens of billions of dollars are at stake, in the trial that will determine the proportion of fault among the defendant companies, as well as determining the extent of penalties and damages, which will be worked out in a bench trial (without a jury) by federal district court judge Carl Barbier.But groups such as GRN, along with countless Gulf Coast residents and fishermen, are wondering if the trial will be sufficient to bring the oil giant to justice, and how much longer the effects of the oil disaster will persist.Environmentally accurate?While on a coastal field inspection with Jonathan Henderson, the Coastal Resiliency Organiser for GRN, Al Jazeera happened upon a BP cleanup crew leaving the beach at Elmer's Island Wildlife Refuge on the Louisiana coast. BP clean-up crews continue to work along the Louisiana coast, finding yet more oil [Erika Blumenfeld/Al Jazeera] GRN, active in all five states along the Gulf of Mexico, sues companies and government organisations that violate environmental laws."We are concerned about the fact that, while it may be possible to assess damages to the marshes and beaches, we don't have the capability to do this on the seafloor, nor [measure] the long-term damage," Henderson, who has been monitoring BP's activities in this area for months, told Al Jazeera. "So how accurate can the NRDA be?"Clearly, with more oil continuing to be found and excavated, similar to that witnessed by Al Jazeera on Elmer's Island and in other coastal areas in Louisiana in previous months, determining BP's total damages seems a monumental task."Much of our litigation is against the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE), the group that was formerly the Minerals Management Service (MMS)," Sarthough told Al Jazeera. "There is also a challenge to BP's original oil spill response plan. We are engaged in this with several other claimants … [The plan BP] had in place was inappropriate and failed to meet safety requirements because it grossly exaggerated BP's response capabilities."The most prominent defendant is obviously BP, but also involved are Transocean, the company that owned the Deepwater Horizon rig; Halliburton, which poured the cement lining of the well; and Nalco, the company that manufactures the dispersants that are alleged to have sickened coastal residents and cleanup workers and damaged the environment. BP has already actively attempted to shift as much of the blame as it can to the other companies involved, a move that has been reciprocated. "There's only one path for BP to take - blame it on as many other people as possible and make sure it's not cast as gross negligence," Blaine LeCesne, a law professor at Loyola University in New Orleans, who has been following the case closely, previously told reporters. "That way they may be able to limit their cost to $30 or $40bn as opposed to $100bn."A study carried out by experts at Auburn University concluded that mats of oil that remain submerged on the seabed could pose a long-term risk to coastal ecosystems. Large quantities of tar balls and oil mats have washed ashore, or have been uncovered by storms, at Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama, as well as at several beaches in Louisiana and in Pensacola, Florida. A recent Al Jazeera fly-over of the area near BP's capped Macondo well, the origin of the April 2010 disaster, revealed a long swathe of oil and sheen.Dr Wilma Subra, a chemist and MacArthur Fellow, has - since autumn 2010 - been conducting tests on seafood and sediment samples along the Gulf, for chemicals present in BP's crude oil and toxic dispersants."Tests have shown significant levels of oil pollution in oysters and crabs along the Louisiana coastline," Subra told Al Jazeera. "We have also found high levels of hydrocarbons in the soil and vegetation."'Small people'The possibility of a settlement remains, as BP, plaintiffs, and the US government could technically still manage to avoid the trial if a settlement were reached. "I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don't care, but that is not the case in BP. We care about the small people." - BP board chairman Henric Svanber "We are prepared to settle if we can do so on fair and reasonable terms, but equally, if this is not possible, we are preparing vigorously for trial," BP Chief Executive Bob Dudley told reporters. That settlement would likely come in at a record $20 to $25bn, according to a recent estimate provided by Morgan Stanley. BP has reportedly set aside a provisional $12bn for penalties.Even if a settlement were reached, BP would still have to deal with thousands of claims from fishermen, coastal businesses, state and local governments, and others able to prove they suffered economic or health damages from the disaster.On June 1, 2010, BP board chairman Henric Svanberg announced, in accordance with the company's pledge to provide $20bn in compensation to persons harmed by the disaster: "I hear comments sometimes that large oil companies are greedy companies or don't care, but that is not the case in BP. We care about the small people." Attorney Stuart Smith believes that BP should be found 'grossly negligent' [Erika Blumenfeld/Al Jazeera] According to New Orleans attorney Stuart Smith, however, neither oil companies nor the US government properly tends to citizens who suffer as a result of their policies."I've spent 25 years suing the oil and gas industry, and the government has never been on the side of the people," Smith informed Al Jazeera. "But the extent to which they've behaved that way this time is unbelievable."Over the course of his career, Smith has represented a number of chemical plant employees with a condition known as toxic encephalopathy, a degenerative neurological disorder that can result in permanent brain damage. Caused by exposure to toxic substances, symptoms of the condition include memory loss, concentration difficulties, fatigue, seizures, depression, light-headedness, headaches and nausea. Similar symptoms continue to be experienced by residents of the Gulf Coast.Indeed, since July 2010, Al Jazeera has spoken with scores of Gulf residents, fishermen, and clean-up workers who have blamed negative health effects on the chemicals from BP's oil and dispersants."The government knew about … peer-reviewed studies of what happens when people are exposed to these chemicals, and millions have been exposed," Smith stated. "Peer-reviewed scientific literature shows that you'll have these health problems, and yet the government does nothing."When asked what he felt true justice for the plaintiffs should look like as the result of this trial, Smith was frank:"BP will be found grossly negligent."Under pressureAl Jazeera found tar balls and dead marine life along the beaches of Grand Isle State Park, in Grand Isle, Louisiana, which shows that the extent of environmental damages caused by the disaster continues to grow, despite clean-up efforts by the oil giant. Jonathan Henderson is as concerned with the deep-sea effects of BP's oil disaster as he is with what has been found along the coast [Erika Blumenfeld/Al Jazeera] A biological study published on September 26, 2011, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that effects of the oil on the killifish of Louisiana marshes could be an early warning sign of trouble ahead for fish populations."The message that seafood is safe to eat doesn't necessarily mean that the animals are out of the woods," said Andrew Whitehead, an assistant professor of biology at Louisiana State University. He was a lead researcher in the study, which found that the fish were being exposed to oil in the sediment. The study indicates that the same kinds of health and reproduction problems are likely to occur in the Gulf as were witnessed among herring, salmon, and other animal populations in the aftermath of the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil disaster, which prompted significant losses among various species.Doug Inkley, a senior scientist with the National Wildlife Federation, said in a written statement: "This study is alarming because similar health effects seen in fish, sea otters, and harlequin ducks following the Exxon Valdez spill in Alaska were predictive of population impacts, from decline to outright collapse."BP's liability from a human perspective apparently fares little better.The Gulf Coast-based law firm Brent Coon and Associates (BCA) is considered one of the world's foremost experts on BP, and has successfully sued the oil giant in the past.Brent Coon was the lead attorney in a case against BP for a 2005 explosion at its refinery in Texas that killed 15 workers. His firm forced BP to accept full responsibility and to compensate the victims and their families.BCA now represents more than 5,000 claimants from BP's Gulf disaster and has been appointed by the Plaintiff's Steering Committee to head several key sub-committees relating to discovery."From what I've seen, after representing thousands of people who were made sick or died from petrochemical industry hazards over the years, companies like BP, Exxon, Citgo, Shell, and others do not mind killing people as the cost of doing business, even when it's their own employees. I've seen it time and time again," he said.Coon additionally argued that, "[u]nless you criminally prosecute these people and make them pay for their decisions, they do not have a sufficient deterrent for the way they do business. Unless the government steps in and criminally prosecutes these b*****ds and hold them accountable, nothing is going to change".According to Coon's calculations, BP will be forced to pay out another $10-20bn to cover economic claims. Some experts expect the total could be much more than that, even as high as $30bn.In a recent move in the oil spill litigation, Judge Barbier ruled on February 22 that BP and Anadarko were responsible parties under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 - and are therefore liable for civil penalties under the Clean Water Act for the undersea discharge of oil from the ill-fated Macondo well.BP's "Macondo" well was ironically named after a fictional village in Gabriel Garcia Marquez's classic novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. In the book, the village was eventually destroyed by an apocalyptic storm and erased from history.

In a perplexing turn of events, Rep. Issa (R-CA) recently introduced the Research Works Act (H.R. 3699), on December 16, 2011. Co-sponsored by Rep. Maloney (D-NY), the bill would effectively turn back the clock on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Public Access policy put into place in 2008. The bill was referred to the U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of which Rep. Issa is chairman.
If you recall, the Federal Research Public Access Act (FRPAA), (H.R. 5037), introduced in April 2010 in the 111th Congress, was modeled after the NIH Public Access policy. The ALA strongly supported FRPAA as it aimed to ensure free, timely, online access to the published results of federally funded (i.e. tax-payer funded) research by eleven U.S. federal agencies and departments. The bi-partisan supported bill mirrored a Senate version of FRPAA (S. 1373), and a brief history of these bills is available here.
The ALA has been a long-time, ardent supporter of increasing access to information of all types, including federally funded research. This latest bill, the Research Works Act, would act in direct contradiction and therefore the ALA vehemently opposes the bill.
The truly perplexing part is how Rep. Issa can fight the good fight against an egregious anti-piracy copyright bill (SOPA, H.R. 3261), and at the same time turn so abruptly and set his sights on nullifying the NIH Public Access policy. The ALA will be keeping close tabs on the Research Works Act bill and track whether there is even a hint at it gaining traction.

Phils ride Revere, Burnett past Braves
Clutch two-out RBI single comes after seven scoreless from starter
PHILADELPHIA -- The Phillies hadn't scored a run since Monday. And they hadn't gotten a runner past first base against Braves starter Alex Wood.
And now, in the eighth inning Thursday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park, Phillies starter A.J. Burnett was gone after pitching seven dominant shutout innings. And Gerald Laird led off the top of the frame with a double off reliever Antonio Bastardo.
Needing a win to avoid being swept, facing the beginning of a challenging Colorado-Los Angeles-Arizona road trip, the Phillies rose to the occasion. Bastardo pitched out of trouble. Ben Revere's two-out single scored Domonic Brown from second in the bottom of the inning. Jonathan Papelbon earned his fourth straight save. And a happy Phillies team boarded its charter to Denver after a 1-0 win over the first-place Braves.
The win came only hours after the Phillies wasted a gem by starter Cliff Lee in a 1-0 loss Wednesday night.
"That was a big one today for us, to get the last one before going on the road trip," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "It was big to end the [4-5] homestand on a good note. It was a little up and down, but to end on a good note is a big momentum gain for us."
In the long run, the most promising development was Burnett's performance. The Phillies couldn't be sure what to expect from him in his first outing since having to leave his previous start with what was later diagnosed as an inguinal hernia. Not only that, he had walked six batters in each of his previous two times out.
But he shortened his stride by about six inches during his side session between starts, partly to take pressure off the hernia and partly to keep his arm from lagging at the end of his delivery. And it seemed to work. Burnett allowed just three singles while walking two and striking out five.
"It's going to be a blessing in disguise, I think," Burnett said. "It's going to be there, but it helps me stay within myself. A couple pitches I tried to do too much -- you could tell it wasn't right. But every time I was simple and just nice and easy, I was able to make effective pitches.
"I've pitched with worse. It's just one of those things I've got to stay on top of, and really focus on my delivery, and that was the case today. It's hit and miss. I just try not to think about it, try to block it out. At this point I think I know what I'm doing with it. First time was a little scary, but now I know. It's different, but I think the easier and calmer I can be out here, the better I'll be."
Burnett didn't get a decision, but the Phillies got the win because they were able to scratch out a run in the bottom of the eighth.
It started with Brown's opposite-field single to left.
"He's taking what the pitchers are giving him and he's not trying to do too much," Sandberg said. "He's not forcing anything to the pull side. You want a baserunner right there and get him into scoring position and take our shots at it. He was a leadoff hitter right there, so it was a good approach.
"Some of the defenses are playing a slight shift on him, so he can take pitches middle away or outside and drive them that way through the shortstop hole and then get hits. That's what we're looking for right there, and he's got a real smart approach right now and taking what the pitcher's giving him."
Said Brown: "When you have a tough lefty throwing right there, I'm just trying to hit the ball to the middle of the field. I'm looking for a pitch up to drive, and it actually was a pitch I thought I could've hit out of the ballpark. It was a fastball middle, middle-in. I was just sitting on it, trying to stay on it and luckily it got through."
Wil Nieves bunted Brown to second. After Jayson Nix struck out, Sandberg had a decision to make. He had one right-handed hitter on the bench, but that was Carlos Ruiz, his only other catcher. He had switch-hitter Freddy Galvis. He also had three lefty swingers, and he decided to go with Ryan Howard, even though the matchup didn't seem favorable.
"Howard's [normally] our cleanup hitter. Right-handed, left-handed pitchers, and he's an RBI guy. That's what he does," Sandberg said.
Howard worked a walk, though, and that set the table for Revere's game-winner.
"He got that walk, and I had a feeling he was going to throw me the same way he threw Howard, which was all breaking balls," Revere said. "That's the way a good team goes. Each and every day you know it's going to be a different guy."

ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Anchored by sophomore T.J. Hanzsche's (Berwyn, Pa.) career-high six-goal performance, the Navy men's lacrosse team (2-2, 1-1 Patriot League) cruised to a 21-12 victory over Holy Cross (0-4, 0-2 PL) Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Eight different players combined to score the 21 goals for the Mids which were the most scored by Navy since it dealt Holy Cross a 23-5 loss on April 18, 2004. Navy's starting attack combined to score 14 of the 21 goals in what was its largest margin of victory over a Patriot League team since its 12-3 win over the Crusaders in 2010. Meanwhile, the 33 combined goals are the most since second-ranked Virginia delivered a 24-13 blow to the Mids in Charlottesville on March 4, 1995.
"This was a good win," said Navy third-year head coach Rick Sowell. "We've been knocking on that door this season, but we've come up a bit short. We know we are capable of putting points on the board and today we were able to put all of the pieces together. Wins are hard to come by, but it was nice to see the hard work that the players and staff have been putting in is paying off.
"The next game is always our biggest game," added Sowell. "We had lost two in a row, lost a conference game and throw in the fact that we lost to them (Holy Cross) a year ago and there was plenty of motivation to go out and win this game."
Similar to a week ago at Bucknell, the Mids dominated the first quarter by opening up a 2-0 lead on goals by senior midfielder Pat Durkin (Germantown, Md.) and senior attack Sam Jones (Annapolis, Md.). Then second-year attackPatrick Keena (Vienna, Va.) fed senior attack Tucker Hull (Charlotte, N.C.) from behind the cage and Hull's shot found the back of the net less than two minutes into the second quarter to give Navy a 3-0 advantage.
Freshman attack Kevin Lux was able to provide a spark for the Crusaders, however, as he scored a pair of goals and added an assist in a 3-1 run by Holy Cross that got it to within one goal at 4-3 with 7:58 to play.
The Mids were able to regroup and put together a 7-0 run to close the half with an 11-3 advantage. Five of the seven goals during the run were scored by seniors, including Jones who produced three goals and an assist.
The last time Navy scored nine goals in a quarter was in its 23-5 win over Holy Cross in 2004 when the Mids scored nine goals not once, but twice in the game (first and third quarters).
"I was really proud of the guys who remained composed when Holy Cross made a little run in the second quarter," said Sowell. "I took a timeout after they got to within one and said lets put the hammer down."
Navy opened the third quarter with back-to-back goals by junior midfielder Gabe Voumard (Cape May, N.J.) and Durkin to push its lead to 10 at 13-3, but to Holy Cross' credit, the Crusaders would continue to fight. In fact, Holy Cross outscored Navy 6-5 in the third quarter and got to within six goals, but could never get any closer. The Mids scored four in a row in the fourth quarter to push its lead back to 10 at 21-11, but an unassisted goal by junior midfielder Jamie Ward with 23 seconds remaining kept the loss to single digits.
Hanzsche, who extended his point and goal-scoring streak to 10 consecutive games, registered just his fourth career multi-goal performance. Meanwhile, the six goals are the most scored by a Navy player since Hull scored six against VMI on Feb. 11, 2012. It's also tied as the most goals scored by a Navy player in a Patriot League game. Taylor Harrisput up six against Holy Cross in a 17-3 win on March 26, 2006. Hazsche, Hull and Harris are the only three Navy players to score six or more goals in a game since the beginning of the 1991 campaign.
Jones finished the day with six points on five goals and one assist to jump from 20th to 17th on Navy's career scoring list with 122 points. Additionally, he joined Navy's all-time goals scored list where he stands 17th with 74 goals and is tied for 17th on the career assists list with 48.
Hull turned in his team-best 13th career hat trick with three goals in the victory. He is now tied with Jamie O'Leary (1996-99) for 20th on Navy's career points list and has produced a point in seven straight contests.
Keena had his best day in a Navy uniform, posting four points on a goal and a career-best three assists, while Voumard also finished with four points on two goals and two assists.
Meanwhile, Navy freshman faceoff specialist Brady Dove (Stevensville, Md), who came into the contest ranked 17th nationally in winning percentage, claimed 19 of the 34 draws he took (.556) and picked up a team-high seven ground balls.
Defensively, Navy played well with the exception of its third-quarter lull where it gave up six goals, the same number of goals it gave up in the other three quarters combined. Senior co-captain Pat Kiernan (Ridgewood, N.J.) caused a team-high two turnovers and grabed five grounds balls to lead the way.
Eight different players scored for the Crusaders, including Terry McKenna who finished with four points on three goals and one assist while Sean Wilkinson had four points on one goal and three assists.
The Mids return to action next Friday when they play host to Lafayette at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium beginning at 7:00 pm.

The Japanese women almost had an upset brewing when they tied Russia early in the third period on this fluttering puck from the right point. Ayaka Toko floated the puck over four people, three of them Russian, before it dove down between goaltender Anna Prugova's glove and pads. It's basically an Olympic knuckle puck.
Russia later took a 2-1 lead on a shorthanded goal with just under nine minutes left in the game and held on to win, so Japan will have to wait to pick up it's first ever Olympic win.

Hours after launching national press and social media efforts, federal authorities arrested a 25-year-old Florida woman alleged to be a child porn producer and rescued her toddler victim.
Corine Danielle Motley, 25, whose face was plastered on news websites and social media posts, was arrested late Wednesday night in Okaloosa County, Fla., on federal child pornography production charges.
"The quick identification of the victim and suspect in this case demonstrates the power of the press, social media and the general public in helping solve these cases," said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton. "Literally hours after we asked the public for their assistance in identifying Jane Doe, a tip came in that led to her identification and arrest. There is nothing more satisfying than knowing that, due to these efforts, a child is now safe and her tormentor now in custody."
The case started after Danish police discovered the 33-minute video of the suspect engaged in explicit sexual conduct with a 4- to 6-year-old child online for the first time Nov. 27. They determined the video was from somewhere in the United States and forwarded the information to ICE agents, who had detailed photos of her face but no idea on her whereabouts.
ICE investigators called the video "one of the most egregious" they had ever seen and went to the public to track down the suspect.
Law enforcement officials are not releasing any further details on how Motley was caught.
Motley will be prosecuted by the U.S. attorney's office for the Northern District of Florida.

Dear friends, my blog "Mercy Not Sacrifice" is now hosted at Patheos. Come on over!

Another item for Dave Ramsey's list of what rich people do that poor people don't do
Dave Ramsey recently posted on his blog a list of 20 things that rich people do that poor people don't do (the idea being that poor people are to blame for their poverty). Among the list were that rich people write down their goals, read books, make their kids volunteer, teach good daily success habits to their children, etc. Well, I was reading through my dad's Economist magazine last night and I found a 21st item to put on Dave's list. Apparently it's a growing trend for really rich people to buy expensive artwork, and, instead of hanging it up in their homes, store it in giant, tax-free warehouses in places like Luxembourg to use as investment currency instead of stocks or bonds.

Are you a pilgrim or a tourist? (Hebrews 11:8-16) #sermon #podcast
Growing up in the church, I would often hear the phrase, "We're just pilgrims passing through," usually in response to someone's passion for changing the world. It means that since this is not our "true home" (heaven is), we shouldn't worry about what happens to our world other than keeping our family safe. Hebrews 11 talks about the Israelite patriarchs who "confessed that they were strangers and foreigners on the earth" (v. 13), not because they considered earthly life irrelevant compared to "heaven," but because they "desired a better country" (v. 16). Those who see our lives on Earth as a brief visit are tourists; those who are seeking a kingdom of God that requires more than one lifetime to build are pilgrims. Which are you? Continue reading
My duty to the Bible's living interpretive tradition
I had a good discussion yesterday with my pastor covenant group about our discernment process as a church in the wake of the Frank Schaefer trial and controversy. I know that I got a little hot-headed in the debate online so I wanted to offer more circumspect reflections. I believe that each disciple of Jesus Christ not only has the right but actually the duty to contribute to the ongoing living interpretive tradition of our faith. Some Christians think that the Bible doesn't require any interpretation, but I contend that the way we interpret it is by living it and sharing our testimony with each other. Continue reading
Justice of the heart and Frank Schaefer
This week, the United Methodist Church put a pastor on trial named Frank Schaefer for officiating at the wedding of his gay son. The judge, retired bishop Al Gwinn, ruled out as inadmissible any defense arguments based on scripture or other sections of the Book of Discipline, reasoning that only "the facts" of what Schaefer did were relevant to determining the verdict. While I understand the rationale and practical limitations that necessitate this approach to justice, I do not think it does justice to justice. The promise that we receive in scripture is that God judges according to the heart. Hebrews 4:12-13 says: "Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account." Continue reading
Is your life NSFJ (not safe for Jesus)?
Please excuse the gratuitous selfie; I couldn't think of another graphic to use. I was reading a passage in Greek today and it hit me in a different way than it ever has before. It's 1 Corinthians 6:12-13, which illustrates how Christian morality differs from a casuistic or legalistic moral system. Few Christians are willing to accept how radical Paul is being when he says, "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are beneficial." It is a morality that is based not on following a particular set of rules, but on living in such a way that we seek union with Christ. The question is whether our lives are NSFJ (not safe for Jesus). Few Christians are willing to rise to Paul's challenge so they define their "morality" according to a safe, limited set of rules (often the trinity of "no sex, no drugs, no cussing") that they don't have trouble keeping and they can judge others for breaking. Continue reading
Why James K.A. Smith should stay off of twitter
There are few things that make my blood boil more than to see someone take a mean-spirited, unfair swipe against someone else in a public forum like twitter. When this happens, it needs to be named and addressed, especially when the instigator is a popular Christian writer who I've promoted on my blog. Rachel Held Evans had expressed support for the student newspaper at Calvin College running a feature piece on LGBT students, which is pretty bold for an evangelical college. And James K.A. Smith, a professor at Calvin and writer of many books that I've blogged about, decided that he needed to "humble" Rachel for voicing her support when it's none of her damn business.

Starting a Small Business in Georgia
For the latest information on tax incentives for Georgia businesses, see our 2016 blog post.
Starting a small business in Georgia has recently become more attractive due to new tax breaks, loan guarantees and new partnerships with the state. These business incentives have helped Georgia earn top rankings in the number of new small businesses started and increases in entrepreneurial activity during the past decade.
Georgia's new incentives to promote small businesses include:
- Small Business Tax Relief, allowing for faster depreciation on equipment deduction where businesses can choose to claim the expense in year 1 as opposed to over several years.
- Angel investor tax credits, which encourage early investment in start-up companies. Qualified investors who provide angel funding in 2012 or 2013 can claim income tax credits of 35% of their investment, with total credits of up to $50,000 allowed per year.
- Financing of up to $250,000 through the Entrepreneurial and Small Business Development Loan Guarantee Program. The program provides financing (beginning at $35,000) to entrepreneurs and small businesses located in rural Georgia counties.
- Hiring and training reimbursements of up to $1,250 per employee certified by Georgia Work Ready. The reimbursements apply to businesses employing fewer than 50 people.
- Georgia Get Your Business Online Program, giving Georgia businesses the tools and resources to establish a website, find new customers, and grow. The new program includes a partnership with Google and Intuit that will provide a free easy-to-build website, a customized domain name and free web hosting for 1 year for small businesses throughout Georgia.

European football's governing body has announced it will discipline Croatia after "hundreds" of fans hurled racist abuse, "monkey chants" and threw several bananas at Italy's Black football superstar Mario Balotelli. It happened Thursday during Croatia's 1-1 draw against Italy at the European Championships in Poland, reports the Daily Mail and SKY Sports.
UEFA acted after the FARE (Football Against Racism in Europe) network announced on Friday their observers heard between 300 and 500 Croatia fans chanting monkey noises at Italy striker Balotelli in Thursday's match. That followed reports a photographer witnessed a steward retrieving a banana from the pitch as well as hearing the same chants.
It is understood UEFA are still probing allegations the Manchester City striker, 21, was subjected to monkey chants in Italy's opening match against Spain on Sunday. Saturday's announcement of proceedings against Croatia followed a 25,000-euro ($33,000 USD) fine on Friday after their fans set off and threw fireworks and missiles, and a supporter invaded the pitch, during Sunday's win over Republic of Ireland.
Mario Balotelli is Italy's first born-and-bred Black footballing superstar. The 21-year-old striker was born in Italy to Ghanaian immigrants. Balotelli has previously announced that he will walk off the pitch if subjected by racist abuse—and he did just that on Friday.
This is just the latest and perhaps most egregious example of racist abuse at the EURO 2012 games. Czech Republic defender Theodor Gebre Selassie was subjected to monkey chants during his side's opener against Russia last Friday. The Netherlands' four Black players also faced racist jeers from on-lookers during training on Wednesday.
The EURO 2012 games are hosted by Poland and Ukraine, which was represented last month at Eurovision by a Black contestant. "Of the 20 selected national teams, 8 have at least one black player," reports Afro-Europe. England, France and the Netherlands have the highest number of Black players.

yum (Yellow dog Updater Modified) is a package manager for RPM compatible Linux systems such as CentOS, Fedora core and latest Redhat Enterprise Linux.
So how do you use yum to update / install packages from an ISO of CentOS / FC / RHEL CD?
Creation of yum repositories is handled by a separate tool called createrepo, which generates the necessary XML metadata. If you have a slow internet connection or collection of all downloaded ISO images, use this hack to install rpms from iso images.
Step # 1: Mount an ISO file
Type the following command (replace iso file name with the actual iso file):
# yum install createrepo
# mkdir -p /mnt/iso/{1,2,3}
# mount -o loop /path/to/centos1.iso /mnt/iso/1
Step # 2: Create a repository
Use createrepo to generate the necessary XML metadata. Type the following commands:
# cd /mnt/iso
# createrepo .
Clean repo, enter:
# yum clean all
Step # 3: Create config file
You need to create a repo config file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory.
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/iso.repo
Append following text:
[My ISO Repository]
Save and close the changes.
Now use yum command to install packages from ISO images:
# yum install package-name

This crowded race among Democrats includes Brooklyn Councilwoman Letitia James, State Senator Daniel Squadron, non-profit executive Reshma Saujani and Cathy Guerriero, a Columbia University professor from Staten Island.
After meeting with each of the candidates, we found some key skills and tendencies to consider.
James is a dogged fighter when it comes to issues on the local level, and if you need an advocate – or opponent – on a single issue, James is the person you want on your side. To this day James still discusses her fight to ensure that affordable housing was a key component of the Atlantic Yards project.
James has been endorsed by the Bronx Democratic Party.
Saujani mounted an unsuccessful run against Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney three years ago, and served a stint working under current Public Advocate Bill de Blasio before leaving to focus on her own nonprofit, Girls Who Code, which is a program that introduces young girls to the world of computer technology.
The Queens County Democratic Party has endorsed Reshma, and if she wins would set a historical precedent as the first South Asian elected official in New York.
Saujani has proven to be a pro when it comes to leveraging public-private partnerships, and we believe that she should continue to focus on the excellent work she has done on behalf of young people throughout the city through her own non-profit work.
The most experienced politician in the race is State Senator Daniel Squadron. His district stretches from Brooklyn into Manhattan. His diverse district has proven he can focus on a multitude of issues that effect not only different communities but different boroughs.
He also has an impressive knowledge of the the legislative system, a skill he no doubt honed working under Senator Charles Schumer. We feel that Squadron's skills and what he brings to public service would be a bad fit for the role of public advocate.
We found Cathy Guerriero to be best suited for the position of public advocate out of the primary candidates.
When asked who they support for mayor, only Guerriero gave a firm answer with no political swerving. When asked about her position on education, Guerriero was clear she wants parents and community leaders to have more say in the system. We like that.
We believe the city needs a public advocate free from the political influence, as well as the fire to fight on behalf of the citizens of New York without outside interference.
Guerriero will take a stand against the mayor or the City Council and not care how it will affect her political future.
The public advocate is an ex-officio member of every City Council committee and has influence in the legislative and budget process. One of the crucial goals of the office is to push the burdens of bureaucracy to the brink of efficiency. We think Guerriero can do that.
Our choice to endorse Guerriero became clear when it was obvious that she could debate with the best of them and stand on her principled, honest, direct approach.
We believe that, in Cathy, New Yorkers have a chance at having a public advocate that will not only fight on behalf of every New Yorker, but will shun the higher political aspirations that have neutered the office in the past.
Guerriero is a pit bull, and it's time to let her off the leash.

SALINAS – A former sign language interpreter for deaf students pled no contest to felony charges accusing him of improper sexual activity with three underage students, the District Attorney's office announced Friday.
Adam Frogel, a 56-year-old Nevada resident, used to work with North Salinas High School deaf students as a contract sign interpreter. Frogel was arrested in March after authorities at the high school called police reporting inappropriate sexual contact with his students, officials said in a press release.
Earlier this year, prosecutors filed a complaint that alleged some of the activity took place in a car and in a hotel room. Future investigations showed Frogel inappropriately touched two of the children over their clothing and asked another to have sexual relations with him, officials said. The children were 15 and 16 years old.
Frogel faces charges for exhibiting a harmful material to a minor, a misdemeanor child molestation and battery. He will be sentenced for these charges on Sept. 5.

Paper Moon
Along with The Sting, Paper Moon, made a few years earlier, may be the quintessential Depression-era conman film. But while The Sting, though terrific, was more of a gimmicky star vehicle, Paper Moon has even more heart than con. In the best role of his career, Ryan O'Neal (once upon a time he was actually a superstar) stars opposite his real-life daughter Tatum O'Neal. At just eight-years-old, she gives one of the most acclaimed child performances ever. Director Peter Bogdanovich was working at the peak of his powers, fresh off the brilliant The Last Picture Show and the popular What's Up, Doc? He vividly recreates the flat, lonely landscapes of 1930s Kansas; shooting in beautiful black & white, the period detail is as good as any modern film has ever done.
Paper Moon is based on the novel Addie Pray by Joe David Brown (Kings Go Forth), with the screenplay by Alvin Sargent, whose massive screenwriting career ranges from Ordinary People to the recent Spider-Man sequels. Moses Pray (Ryan) is a two-bit conman. He thinks he can make a buck when, after the funeral of a one-time lover, he agrees to accompany the woman's eight-year-old orphaned daughter, Addie (Tatum), to the train station where she will be shipped off to a distant family. She realizes that he has scammed her out of her inheritance money, so to pay him back the two end up joining up on a cross-country con job. At first they're at odds but eventually Mos...
Young Frankenstein
The great horror spoofs are far and few between. For every Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein or Shaun of the Dead (both excellent) there are at least a dozen Scary Movies, Saturday the 14ths or Vampire in Brooklyns, most tend to range from lousy to lame. Young Frankenstein falls in the excellent camp, working as both a laugh out loud comedy and a perfect dissection of the style used by Universal in their famous monster period, directly spoofing both Frankenstein and its sequel, The Bride of Frankenstein. For director Mel Brooks it would mark the apex of his career after The Producers and Blazing Saddles, all three films featuring Gene Wilder who cowrote the Young Frankenstein script with Brooks. Wilder went on to direct his own films and neither Brooks nor Wilder would ever make anything as inspired as the three films they made together. They would even both later direct lousy and lame horror spoofs: Haunted Honeymoon (Wilder... lame) and Dracula: Dead and Loving It (Brooks... lousy). But together, combining both men's distinct comedy style, they created a film that is easily one of the two or three greatest horror comedies of all time.
American lecturer and doctor, Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (Wilder) can't live down his famous mad doctor grandfather (Mary Shelley's Dr. Frankenstein) and is truly embarrassed by his roots. When he inherits the family property in Eastern Europe he leaves behind his icy fiancée, Elizabeth, played by Madeline Kahn, on her own roll of big time performances in the period, including Blazing Saddles and Paper Moon. At the castle, he meets his new hunchbacked manservant, Igor (bug-eyed British comedian Marty Feldman), his sexy young laboratory assistant, Inga (Teri Garr) and the creepy maid, Frau Blucher (Cloris Leachman). After reading his grandfather's journals, Frederick becomes convinced he can reanimate life and sets about recreating his experiments. Like the original Frankenstein story, he brings a patched together man back to life but the man (Peter Boyle, very crafty casting) is accidentally given an abnormal brain and is a relegated to being a monster.Continue Reading

IQ Certification elects new board
Members of the IQ Certification Program recently elected officers at the organization's first meeting of 2014. While there's considerable continuity from years past (several members earned reelection), the board of directors also reflects some changes, highlighted by the appointment of Lynn Comer as chairperson.
Another change was the election of Don Childers, COO of Statesville, N.C.-based Security Central, to the IQ Board. Earlier this week I spoke to Don about some of the key priorities for the certification program moving forward. Childers said that, as with any association, exploring ways to boost membership remains an overarching objective.
"We have to show the value of what we're doing, then determine how to get the message out en masse so that those in the industry better understand what we're trying to do," he said.
One strategy for doing just that, Childers said, is leveraging big-name industry events—he cited ESX as an example—to hold sessions that perform the double-task of educating prospective members while promoting the business value of being IQ Certified. An education chair at ESX, Childers said he would be in favor of including a 60 to 70 minute seminar at the show.
As far as other goals with the organization, Childers said he may suggest ways to streamline some of the application paperwork for the certification program, making it easier for non-central station members, whose application process tends to be more involved. Besides that, Childers' near-term aim is to examine IQ Certification membership "from the business owners' point of view" and to continue "learning the job as I go along."

Forgotten Soldiers of the Great War
It doesn't look like France, does it?
I like to show this image to students because it teachers them images can be deceiving sometimes. What we think we know may not always be relevant, and we must always be willing to accept alternatives to our way of thinking. For example, most of us would not have dated the picture during the Great War (1914-1918) because we assume that the time period is too early for color photography. Most of us assume this because the images we have seen during this time period are black and white. The webpage I've linked to goes into an explanation regarding the color images. Here's a sample:
The first experiments with color photography were carried out in 1904 near Lyon in France, where father Lumière owned a photographic factory. In 1907 the Lumière brothers patented the autochrome process they had invented.
The picture of the Algerians [in my Wordless image] was made with such an autochrome plate. Microscopic grains of potato starch were dyed red, green, and blue-violet, then mixed evenly and coated onto a sheet of glass. A black-and-white emulsion was then flowed over this layer.
During exposure, the grains of potato starch on each plate acted as millions of tiny filters. The light-sensitive emulsion was then reversal processed into a positive transparency.
When viewed, light passes through the emulsion and is filtered to the proper color by the starch grains. The resulting mosaic of glowing dots on glass gives autochromes the look of pointillist paintings.Autochromes were the first true color pictures, and the only industrial color photography process until 1935.
The web page points you to some specific pages where other autochrome images can be found. If you visit make sure you have some time to look around. This site is rather large. It contains many images and great articles. If you plan to use it with students I suggest you consider their age and maturity. Many images are rather graphic. I have used images from this site for my fourth and fifth grade studnets, however, they don't have free access to it. I generally bookmark what I want them to see or present it in another format.
Now I'd like to turn away from the aspect of the early uses of color photography to examine the use of African troops during World War I. Many of the Algerian solders were known as the Terrible Turcos. It is said they fought so fiercely their French General had a difficult time holding them back when facing a larger enemy force. Many of the Germans were afraid of them. Algerians weren't the only Africans involved in World War I. Troops from Senegal (seen in the image above) were also used by the French, and the British utilized South Africans. Over 500,000 African troops were used mainly by the French and British to bolster their armies. China, Japan, India, Egypt, and Canada also participated in providing laborers. Very few saw actual combat. Their strength was used mainly for manual labor such as building bridges and unloading ships.
So why would Africans be so willing to help France and Britain during the war? Usually nations assist nations because of ongoing treaties and alliances. In fact, a web of alliances is the main reason we refer to the Great War as a "world" war. However, France and Britain received assistance from some of the nations of Africa not because of desired alliances but because of imperialism which many of the world's superpowers had been engaging in for quite sometime. France held Algeria and Senegal as colonies and Britain was involved with South Africa. It was only natural to the mother countries to utilize the full resources their colonies afforded them.
One of the saddest and mostly forgotten stories regarding the assistance of African soldiers has to do with a troop ship known as the SS Mendi.
On February 21, 1917 the steamship Mendi was carrying over 600 South Africans who were crossing the English Channel on their way to France through heavy fog. These particular men would not be bearing arms, but would be working as laborers. The SS Darro, a heavily loaded mailship broadsided the Mendi causing it to list sharply to starboard. Lifeboats could not be lowered from that side of the ship and the portside lifeboats were not sufficient to carry all of the men….many of the troops had never seen an ocean and many did not know how to swim. Some jumped from the deck sliding into extremely cold water. The fog made it difficult to see everyone. Many succumbed to the cold.
Another large number simply went down with the ship. Rev. Isaac Dyobha, a chaplain, attempted to calm and rally the men left on the deck. At Dyobha's urging the men removed their boots and began dancing a death dance. Dyobha encouraged the men by saying:
"Be quiet and calm, my countrymen. What is happening now is what you came to do ... you are going to die, but that is what you came to do ... I, a Xhosa, say you are my brothers ... Swazis, Pondos, Basotho ... so let us die like brothers. We are the sons of Africa ..."
Twenty-five minutes after the Darro had nearly cut the Mendi in two the sinking ship could no longer be seen. The death dancers were gone. The Darro offered no assistance to help with recovery; however another ship, the HMS Brisk, picked up scattered survivors. There was no official recognition from the British government to the families of the dead and missing. No member of the troops who were on the ship received a medal or ribbon. Based on a decision by the South African government only the white officers on board with the troops received any recognition.
An inquiry was held regarding the actions of the Darro and the captain of the ship was blamed for the accident. The ship was suspended for one year from use. Since that fateful day when so many men lost their lives divers hunted for the wreckage. It was finally located in very deep waters in 1945; however it was not officially identified as the Mendi until 1974. Once Apartheid ended in South Africa the history of the Mendi finally entered collective thought. Since then there have been many attempts to honor the dead and to place their memory into the history of World War I.
I like to teach this little known aspect of World War I because it gives a great global aspect to the problem of race relations far removed from the events of the American Civil War.
Those who want to learn more might want to see Let Us Die Like Brothers, a documentary produced by the History Channel and the Commonweath War Graves Commission.

That was absolutely fascinating! I love your use of the images to stimulate discussion (and of course learning). I have used images or picture books for creative writing and specific types of writing, but I really like how you use these pictures. I look forward to reading more.

Well, more study for me!
Thanks EHT!

That is a cool website. There were many French "Colonial" soldiers fighting for France in 1940 also. I find it interesting that ( I wish I could recall where I heard this; probably a "Diplomatic History of Modern Europe" class back in college....anyhow.....), that many French blamed their colonial soldiers for France's fall to German Military forces. This led to further discrimination against "colonials" and after the war, France and her colonies soon parted ways, often after much blood shed. However, historically, IIRC, France's Colonial soldiers surprised their German opponents with their fighting skill and tenacity, usually surrendering to the Germans only upon orders from their white French officers.
Based on von Lettow's experiences in East Afric in WWI, the German military knew "African" soldiers, if properly trained and led, could and would fight as well as any other soldier.
Thanks for an interesting post !

Thanks for visiting everyone.
Polski, thanks for the extra details. I need to do more research about WWII myself regarding this aspect. I find it very interesting.

And yet no one went to jail
Naomi Watts stars as Plame and Sean Penn plays Wilson (in one of his least-mannered performances) and while many of the details of the film will be familiar to anyone who watched the episode unfold in the media, what makes director Doug Liman's film most interesting are the details that were left by the wayside.
Fair Game begins by showing us Plame at work for the agency, making frequent secret trips overseas making contacts and protecting sources in the battle against weapons proliferation. Her husband knows her real job, but her friends believe she works for a phony business service. Early on, at the behest of the Defense Department, her section gets contacted to check out stories on aluminum tubes supposedly sought by Saddam Hussein and the possibility that Saddam had tried to acquire yellowcake uranium from Niger.
Never mind that the aluminum tube story had been investigated and disputed long before since the equipment was horribly outdated and unacceptable for uranium enrichment, the Bush White House pressures the CIA to check it out again. As it happens, Wilson, the last American to meet Saddam face-to-face and someone who had strong contacts with high-ranking officials in Niger, is suggested as someone who could check out the African side of the story. Plame admits her husband's expertise in the area, but that's the extent of her involvement in his getting the assignment.
Wilson takes the trip to Niger and finds that it would be logistically impossible to remove that large an amount of yellowcake from the country without leaving physical or written evidence. He returns, issues his report that the story is a nonstarter and believes that it's the end of it. Unfortunately, the Bush gang, represented especially by the unctuous Scooter Libby (played to smarmy perfection by David Andrews) are ghouls who can't say no and, much to Wilson's surprise, President Bush says those 16 words that mean so much in his 2002 State of the Union speech about Saddam attempting to acquire quantities of uranium from Africa.
Just to be certain, Wilson calls a source of his to make certain that Bush isn't referring to a different African country than Niger, but no, that's the lie that's being spun, followed by the big p.r. push from Cheney, Rice and the gang about not letting the "smoking gun be a mushroom cloud." An outraged Wilson pens the infamous op-ed in The New York Times about what he didn't find in Niger and the White House declares war on him and his wife, including outing her identity as a CIA operative in Robert Novak's column, which still is a crime.
The rest of the story should be fairly familiar to anyone who followed it, but if you've forgotten some of the details, you are certain to get riled once again (and to question the wisdom of the Obama Administration letting sleeping liars sleep free for the crimes they committed).
Still, as well known as the tale is, Fair Game proves quite compelling thanks to a solid cast and Liman's solid direction. Of course, the true Bush believers will have no interest and partisans already will have been converted, but those who are fuzzy on the facts owe it to themselves to see this film. A little history never hurt anybody.

Farm cooperative use is the most common way Korean agricultural products are brought to market. Tea is an agricultural product so, quite naturally, tea coops do exist. Many family owned tea farms are all picked and the tea is produced together. Usually, the tea is either hand or machine picked but almost always it is machine produced to maintain consistency of the final product. This method of production is common in Jeju and Boseong producing areas but are quite uncommon in Hadong. The quality of tea produced from coops varies greatly. Examples of these are DAVIDsTEA's Korean Sejak picked in Jeju, almost all Boseong tea, and even Dong Cheon of Hadong.
Company farms/gardens are usually quite small and can involve either machine or hand picked tea leaves. Company farms can be some of the biggest gardens seen in the country but are still quite small compared to the tea fields of China and Japan. They can vary from almost exclusively machine picked and produced tea (such as O'sulloc in Jeju), to completely hand picked and produced teas such as all companies in Hadong (such as Jukro, Joytea, Ssangkye, Woon Sang). Many of these producer farms in Hadong actually have some of the best geographical locations that produce some of the finest hand produced semi-wild tea in Korea.
Larger family farms are actually not that large at all. They are small operations which are almost exclusively hand picked and produced, usually they are of a semi-wild tea plant which is minimally cared for. The difference between these farms and company farms is that these farmers live right off the land. The farms are usually somewhat smaller than the company farms as well. There is large variability in their harvests from year to year. Examples of these are Kim Jong Yeol's Butea and Kim Shin Ho's Samtea. Alternatively, some families in Hadong just keep large semi-wild tea fields but don't produce their own tea. Instead they rent the fields to teamasters who wish to produce their own tea.
Micro-gardens are extraordinarily small productions by locals who have lived with tea and on the land for decades. Often these people have simply been making tea their whole life in this manner. These teas are your only chance for true wild tea in Korea but are very hard to come by even in Korea. These teas rarely get sold outside Korea and are purchased by teamasters within Korea. They rarely hit the shelves for sale to the general public and, if so, often sell for very steep prices. Within the next year or so I imagine these teas will make their way into the Westren market.

Janos Kobanyai
from Flowering to being Ploughed
The idea
for this book was born out of two previous works. The first, written at the
request of YIVO Encyclopedia, was the
Hungarian-Jewish Literature entry,
along with other individual entries of significant Hungarian Jewish writers.
(In Jews in Eastern Europe. Yale
University Press: New Haven, London. 2008. pp.763-770.
concentrated yet comprehensive work provided the general framework for the
present book, the definition of Hungarian-Jewish literature, the need for
placing its background in the appropriate context, and the unearthing of this
literature's beginnings at the time when Hungarian Jewry entered Hungary's
demographic, economic, political and cultural sphere. The system of
institutions and undertakings of Hungarian-Jewish intellectuals developed as
part of this process, including the personalities that cultivated as well as
organized the literary activities—at first within the Jewish-Hungarian and
later within the universal Hungarian culture. Applying appropriate historical,
social, and esthetic criteria, I judged the boundaries of the shockingly short
duration of the entire process to be between 1890 and 1944/45; scarcely half a
century between a swift "flowering" and an even swifter stage of "being
ploughed under." Whatever followed this period—including the "Job's story" of
some authors (Dezső Szomory, Ernő Szép) and Imre Kertész's Nobel Prize in
2002—is, at best, a "posthumous blooming" or "stubbles on a dead man's face."
My other
work that helped produce the present book, was my doctoral dissertation at the
Hebrew University of Jerusalem: Creating
the Modern Jewish Culture in Hungary; Josef Patai and his Múlt és Jövő
(Past and Future) 1911-1944. Writing this thesis at first
appeared an easy task; however, I soon discovered two major problems to tackle.
On the one hand, I had to absorb, digest, and then present the material in Múlt és Jövő in the absence of previous
studies or methodology, since neither in Hungary nor anywhere else had there
been many monographs dealing with the history of a periodical. On the other
hand, I was amazed to realize during my research—aided also by the centenary of
the major Hungarian literary magazine Nyugat
(West,1908-1941)—that everything
Hungarian-Jewish literature has produced, is represented, on a higher level and
in more defined characteristics, in the non-Jewish, so-called universal
Hungarian cultural sphere than in the self-representing Jewish one.
Although—against my mentor's considerable resistance—I was able to express this
observation in my dissertation but, naturally, I could not tell the whole story
via the history of a Zionist periodical. I've found the proper forum for it in
this, separate monograph. The above realization supports and justifies the
realization of Aladár Komlós, who was the first to attempt a monograph on
Hungarian-Jewish literature, which the Holocaust would not let him complete.
The definition in his essay, "Preface to a Jewish Literary History to be
written" (Libanon, 1939: no.1.) is
the starting point and the basic premise of any Jewish literary history.
Truth to tell, there is a Jewish
question both in a narrower and a wider sense; the wider one contains God, homeland, and love;
everything in a Jew's life. In this sense, "the surging of the Jewish
soul" means not only the expression of national solidarity, but the manifestation of the total world
of sensibilities and ways of looking at
things that more or less characterizes the Jew, which comes equally to the fore in his relation to God,
fellow humans, the state, nation, and his family. This soul evidently does not stop surging even if the
writer is afraid to write down the name:
Jew. The condition of the soul's functioning is that to create, the writer bravely and deeply reaches into himself;
this does not depend on whether the artist accepts
his origin or finds ways to avoid admitting it, in other words, whether he is a
good Jew or not; rather,
it depends on whether or not he is a good artist. In this sense, it is possible that a Jewish
apostate lyricist will produce poems that are more Jewish than those written by a tried and true,
zealous Jew—provided the apostate possesses
in large measure the determining artistic ability that allows him, in the act of creation, to remain faithful to the
hidden hues and resonances of his being. Therefore,
when it comes to Jewish literature, we must include every Jewish writer, regardless of how he has decided
to deal with the problems of his origin. […] It's the Jew's social situation that's different from other
nation's situations, it has been so for
two millennia, and that in itself is quite sufficient to explain the peculiar characteristics of Jewry's world
of sensibilities and ways of looking at things.
My monograph, first of all, is a
social history—it cannot be anything else. It traces the path of Jews yearning
to become Hungarians, across the pitfalls of hoping to assimilate or integrate
into Hungarian society, all the way to the fiasco of the mighty attempt. The
sensitive medium of literature is a most precise means of measuring identity;
the true mirror in which the process undergone by Jews in Hungary be examined
in the greatest depth. In its methodology also, my book picks its way across a
border zone; it tries to synthetize the achievements of literature and
historiography as well as those of sociology and psychology so that I could
relate the complex story in as coherent and nuanced a way as possible. I relate
the story of the interaction between Jews and non-Jews, which is also the story
of Hungarian modernity; the Jews' entrance into the intellectual-spiritual world
of Hungary was inseparable from and simultaneous with the beginning of
Hungarian modernity—the former was the main engine of the latter. That is why I
use the method of "szétszálazás és
újraszövés" or unraveling and reweaving (instead of Jacques Derrida's
"deconstruction") to reveal the modernization of Hungarian culture whose
achievements endure even if the Hungarian-Jews have been "ploughed under" in
the plough-land of Hungarian culture.
In this book I have validated
all my accumulated experiences since 1988 when I revived the periodical Múlt és Jövő, and have intensified them
since 1994 when I established the eponymous publishing house—something like a
teacher would do by marching one lesson ahead of his pupils. As writer,
researcher, editor and publisher, I've often descended into the depths for the
Atlantis of Hungarian-Jewish literature and retrieved precious treasures to be saved. I
have molded into a homogenous text all my studies, fore- and afterwords of the
last fifteen years to make up the second, special
part of the book—as opposed to the first, general
part. I have organized the plans of the publishing house (we're talking
about more than 200 published books) with the goal of presenting, perpetuating
and burning into the cultural memory of the world the enduring traces of
Hungarian-Jewish literature—and life. If it had been ploughed under in Hungary,
may its fertile seeds be scattered throughout the world!
The book is
complemented—sterophonically, as it were—by a 100-page photo-novel, so that it
could appeal also to today's increasingly more visual culture.

During this celebration, the Easter brotherhoods process through the old town of Jerez de la Frontera in a stunning display of art and feeling.
A total of 44 brotherhoods take part in the Easter processions in Jerez. The oldest brotherhoods date back to the 15th century, while the "youngest" had its first procession in 1973. They all make a stop at the Cathedral on their way - known as the station of penitence. Some of the most traditional brotherhoods are those of La Borriquita, El Transporte, La Coronación and Las Angustias. Of all the processions, the ones on Good Friday stand out especially, such as the Most Sacred Christ of the Exaltation, The Virgin of Solitude and the Holy Burial.
Easter week is one of the most heartfelt and deep-rooted fiestas celebrated in Spain. This commemoration has centuries of history and tradition, remembering the passion and death of Jesus Christ. The streets of the majority of Spain's cities, towns and villages become the stage for religious fervour and devotion, combining grief and meditation in memory of Christ's death. Music, art and colour come together in magical processions - solemn parades in which crowds of people accompany religious images on their route through the streets.

Sabine Roemer and Pemberton&Millner joined forces to create this unique Jewellery Box inside of the only egg that will open.
INSPIRATION: "Being a goldsmith and sculptor I wanted to create something special for my third piece for the elephant family. Naturally I chose some real gemstones, which represents the stones of Love and Protection, to decorate the egg. With the collaboration and amazing bespoke leather making skills of Pemberton&Millner we could create a "Gem Egg" Jewellery Box, which takes you to another place as soon you open the doors, where this beautiful and unfortunately endangered hornbill is waiting for you."
the GEM EGG will be displayed at the Bentley Store in London, Berkley Square and bit here for the GEM-EGG
