The Expression of Not-Knowing: An Interview with Kevin Prufer
March 7, 2014 | by Robyn Creswell
The Winter issue of The Paris Review includes Kevin Prufer's poem "How He Loved Them." Prufer is the author of six books of poetry and the editor of several anthologies. His latest collection, Churches, was published this week. He teaches at the University of Houston.
The poem stages a scene of terrible yet familiar violence—a car bomb explodes in front of a courthouse, killing a colonel and his two granddaughters. But the poem is less about the event than the aftermath. The explosion becomes a spectacle for bystanders, who record it on their smartphones. In what ways are poems like our devices—in thrall to spectacle, turning moments into eternities?
Turning moments into eternities was truly at the center of the poem for me—the idea of the afterlife, of divine translation. I imagined that the colonel, who acknowledges he has done terrible things, dies in a moment of inarticulable love for his granddaughters. Of course, he becomes spectacle for us, his death recorded and uploaded to the Internet, where we watch it over and over again. But, in another way, perhaps he has been redeemed, has been, himself, uploaded to a kind of heaven where his love is played out eternally. At least, that's how I like to think about him and the poem—about the moral, spiritual, digital complexities that can be packed into a single moment … a moment we, unknowing, watch play out on our computer screens.
The way this bomb works as "a divine translation" reminds me of another poem of yours, "A Minor Politician," from National Anthem. That poem is a posthumous monologue, delivered from the crypt. The speaker is an honorable pol, though he has served questionable goals. At the end of the poem, he sees God's hand, "like a bomb," reaching through the catacombs to "take my body from the tatters / and lift me through the shadows / to the trees." Are these cases of redemption through violence?
I think the same question is at play, yes. But the poems have very different contexts. When I wrote National Anthem, I was caught in a vortex during which all I could think about was classical—mostly Roman—history. I read about that to the exclusion of most other things. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were new and I was living in a small Missouri town very near an Air Force base, and heard echoes of Roman history everywhere. That ancient politician thinks he has been redeemed by God, by God's hand breaking through the ceiling. But really, it was time and forgetfulness that redeemed him—and one of our bombs breaking through his crypt two thousand years later, shedding light on him. Read More »
Adrienne Rich
March 29, 2012 | by Robyn Creswell
Adrienne Rich's first poem in The Paris Review was "The Snow Queen," which appeared in the magazine's second issue (Summer 1953). Her last, "Itinerary," was published this spring in our two-hundredth. Rich was twenty-three when she wrote "The Snow Queen," but she had already been discovered. Her first book, A Change of World, was chosen by W. H. Auden for the Yale Younger Poets prize in 1951. Rich's early work is formally impeccable, its ideas and idioms rooted in the poetry of Yeats and Stevens ("The Snow Queen" can be read as a variation on Stevens's "The Snow Man"). But Rich quickly moved beyond her early style. She found its virtuosity too prim, too imitative—"exercises in style," as she once put it. In her early thirties, she was already looking back at her accomplishments and measuring their limitations. "Necessities of Life," the title poem of her 1966 collection, was first published in The Paris Review as "Thirty-Three" (Winter-Spring, 1964), which was Rich's age when she wrote it. It is a poem of retrospection and prophecy. It begins,
Piece by piece I seem
to re-enter the world: I first began
a small, fixed dot, still see
that old myself, a dark blue thumbtack
pushed into the scene,
a hard little head protruding
from the pointillist's buzz and bloom.
after a time the dot
begins to ooze. Certain heats
melt it.
"The pointillist's buzz and bloom" is still Stevensian, but the oozing and heat—here signaling the onset of adolescence—are heralds of Rich's mature poetry. Her great work of the sixties and seventies, the period in which she came out as a lesbian and a radical feminist, are poems of Eros. Not merely eroticism, though there is plenty of that—and it is important—but a poetry of passionate relation and reinvention. It is also a poetry that values plainspokenness over rhetorical expertise. "Now and again to name / over the bare necessities," as she instructs herself in "Necessities of Life." Read More »
Thomas Sayers Ellis's "Or,"
January 12, 2012 | by Robyn Creswell
Most of the poems stuck in my head are rap songs. Rap is the music I grew up listening to, and the lyrics from those days, the late eighties and early nineties, have stayed with me. I've forgotten most of the poems I had to memorize at school; of Keats's "To Autumn," I remember only the famous lines. On the other hand, Big Daddy Kane's "Smooth Operator," Rakim's "Mahogany," or Nas's "N.Y. State of Mind"—these are poems I know by heart, from beginning to end, and will probably never forget.
Some people don't believe raps are poems. They have a point. On the page, arranged into lines and stanzas, raps lose most of their appeal. I'm grateful to Bradley and DuBois's enormous Anthology of Rap, if only because I now know what Raekwon is saying on "Triumph" (which doesn't mean I understand it: "The swift chancellor, flex, the white-gold tarantula / Track truck diesel, play the weed, god, substantiala." Can I get a footnote?). But when raps are spelled out like this they lose their fluidity, their life in three dimensions. Rap is not monotonous, though it is almost always composed in couplets and four-four lines. But the good songs always surprise you, leave you wrong-footed, put the emphasis or rhyme where you don't expect it.
There is no doubt that Thomas Sayers Ellis's "Or," is a poem, but it is one of the few that feels to me like a rap—an especially good one. This is because of the way it establishes a pattern and then continually breaks away from it. The poem is based on the repetition of or, but as we read through it, what seemed like a formal constraint becomes a principle of transformation, a hinge that keeps flexing. The poem begins, as I read it, by riffing on the either/or logic of identity questionnaires ("You could get with this, or you could get with that," as Black Sheep once put it, in a different context). But it quickly ramifies into geography, history, poetics. Read it out loud a few times and you might find you already have it memorized: Read More »
Islamic Art at the Met
November 7, 2011 | by Robyn Creswell
Last week, the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened its renovated and newly enlarged wing of Islamic art, now called Galleries for the Art of the Arab Lands, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia, and Later South Asia. The new space, which is gorgeous, is entirely redesigned. The galleries are now organized by theme and material as well as period. There is more figurative art—paintings, illuminated manuscripts, glazed pottery—and greater geographical breadth. Many of the pieces displayed in the old galleries are also here, newly contextualized. Others, never displayed, have been taken out of the museum's twelve-thousand-object collection. And some pieces were acquired over the past eight years, while the wing was closed to the public. Among the most seductive of these new objects is a zoomorphic dagger (pictured above) from sixteenth-century Deccan India. I recently took a tour of the galleries with curator Navina Haidar, who talked to me about some of its treasures, new and old. Read More »
Chad Harbach on 'The Art of Fielding'
September 20, 2011 | by Robyn Creswell
The Art of Fielding, Chad Harbach's first novel, is a book about baseball in the way that Moby-Dick is a book about whaling—it is and it isn't. The shortstop at the center of the novel is Henry Skrimshander, an idiot savant in the field, who is recruited to play for the Harpooners of Westish College, a small school on the shores of Lake Michigan. Harbach was kind enough to answer a few questions by e-mail from his home in Brooklyn.
What was your position?
Over the course of my twelve-year baseball career (which ended when I was seventeen), I played the middle infield—short and second both.
Did you have any hopes of playing in college?
Not really. I was Henry-like (though with hardly a shred of his talent) in the sense that I was a good athlete who was too small and slight. I blame my parents for starting me in school early and making me forever the youngest guy on the team. Read More »
Cathy Park Hong on 'Engine Empire'
August 23, 2011 | by Robyn Creswell
The summer issue of The Paris Review includes a series of poems by Cathy Park Hong. Hong has published two books of poetry, Translating Mo'um (2002) and Dance Dance Revolution (2007). She teaches at Sarah Lawrence College.
The poems published in this issue come from a longer work, entitled "Fort Ballads." How does it fit into your forthcoming book, Engine Empire?
"Fort Ballads" is part of the first section in Engine Empire. The poems in the collection range from a trilogy, ranging from Western ballads to love poems set in present-day industrial China to poems set in a virtual future. "Fort Ballads" follows a band of outlaw fortune-seekers who travel to a California boomtown during the 1800s. The boomtown isn't real; it's full of strange, violent, sometimes surreal happenings. It's my own way of mythologizing California, which is where I'm from. The main character is "Our Jim," who's half Comanche Indian. In creating him, I was thinking of the typical iconic Western guys, like Billy the Kid, but his story is also reminiscent of Huck Finn and maybe a little of Faulkner's Joe Christmas. He's an orphan, a cipher, a boy trapped between identities, both innocent and vengeful. But the section isn't all narrative—there are sound poems in there as well, where I let myself wallow in kitschy Western vernacular. Read More »

About Accreditation
Accreditation is a process of external peer review. In the United States, the accreditation system is administered primarily by non-governmental, voluntary organizations that grant recognition to institutions or specialized programs of study that meet established qualifications and educational standards. Compliance with such standards is determined through initial and subsequent periodic evaluations.
The accreditation process:
- encourages educational institutions and programs to continuously evaluate and improve their processes and outcomes
- helps prospective students identify programs that meet nationally accepted standards
- protects programs from internal and external pressures to make changes that are not educationally sound
- involves faculty and staff in comprehensive program evaluation and planning and stimulates self-improvement by setting national standards against which programs can be measured
Entering the Accreditation Process
New PA programs enter the accreditation process via the Provisional Pathway. See more on this in the Accreditation Types and Terms of this section or under the Provisional section of this web site.
Geographic Scope
The ARC-PA only accredits qualified PA programs offered by, or located within, institutions chartered by, and physically located within, the United States, and where students are geographically located within the United States for their education. (The United States are defined as "the fifty States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Wake Island, the Midway Islands, Kingman Reef, and Johnston Island.")
The ARC-PA does not accredit educational programs leading to the PA credential in institutions that are chartered outside the United States or programs provided in foreign countries by ARC-PA accredited U.S. PA programs.

There's almost nothing more frustrating than putting your keys down somewhere safe and then forgetting where that was, which is where the skill of how to find lost things comes into its own. If you're someone who spends what seems like forever looking for things – keys, cell phones, credit cards, etc – then this will help!
Help on how to find lost things
Start by being a creature of habit.
If you're forever losing your keys, decide on a place to keep to them and do your level best to always put them in that special place.
OK, this won't work all the time – you might forget, someone might move them, that kind of thing – but it will improve your chance of finding the lost items quicker.
If it's a one-off problem, enlist help. More eyes looking for whatever it is that you've misplaced will be useful.
Even if it's not the first time that you've lost something, getting other people to help find it for you can be worthwhile. If there are children helping then you can turn it into a treasure hunt style game to help find lost things for you.
Be methodical!
If you have a tendency to run around like a headless chicken when you've lost something, take a deep breath and a mental step back. Give yourself (literally) some breathing space. When you've calmed yourself down slightly, you'll be in a better place mentally to help find lost things and recover them sooner rather than later.
If it's not urgent, put the idea on the back burner in your mind. Just give yourself time to find the item and there's a good chance that it will turn up on its own accord. Maybe not in the location you were expecting it (but, then, it wouldn't have been lost if that were the case) but lost things sometimes seem to have a mind of their own.
Take yourself back in time – mentally. Hypnosis can be a great way to do this. It helps clarify your memories and you'll be really surprised at the amount of detail you can remember when you get the kind of help that hypnosis gives you.

- The Urban body
- The Multi-body
- The Atypical body
- The Natural body
- The Political body
- The Virtuoso body
Dance – a mirror of life, where the body becomes democracy, understanding and empathy.

Difficulty dressing
Dressing is difficult for dementia patients, who sometimes feel overwhelmed by the choices or may not remember even how to dress, tie a shoe lace, or buckle a belt.
They may wear the same thing over and over again, forgetting that they wore the same outfit the day before. And as previously mentioned, buttoning and unbuttoning clothes can become more difficult in the mid-to-late stages of AD due to a decline in motor skills.

Freshman Shelby Turnier pulled off a unique double-dip on Wednesday night at the UCF Softball Complex. The highly-touted freshman from Palm Beach Gardens got the start in the circle and earned the victory after allowing just two hits and no earned runs in four innings of work as the Knights defeated Seminole State College, 8-3, in a 10-inning contest.
If that wasn't enough, Turnier batted in the five spot for the first time this fall and responded by going 3-for-4 with an RBI at the plate. She just missed her first collegiate home run as she ripped a double off the wall in left-center. Turnier is looking to become the first Knight since Ashleigh Cole in 2010 that is a starting pitcher that also bats in each game.
"We certainly like having pitchers that can hit, but we haven't really had the depth on our pitching staff in past years to really allow our pitchers to risk getting hurt swinging the bat," head coach Renee Luers-Gillispie said after the win. "This year, with five pitchers, we've got the depth and I can definitely see Shelby in the lineup when she's not on the mound, her bat is that good."
For the first time this fall, the Knights trailed in a game as Seminole jumped out to an early 1-0 lead on an unearned run in the top of the first. UCF quickly responded in the bottom half of the frame, putting up a four spot thanks to a sacrifice fly by sophomore Farrah Sullivan, an RBI single by sophomore Hayley Barrow, an RBI single by Turnier and an RBI double by freshman Samantha McCloskey.
In the top of the third, redshirt freshman Brooke Scott crushed a two-run homer to the left to put the Knights up 8-1. It was a weight off the shoulders for Scott as she came into the game 0-for-9 at the plate in fall action.
Sophomore Mackenzie Audas continued her buzz saw of opposing hitters as she struck out five in two perfect innings of relief.
The Knights will play one more fall game on Monday at 6 p.m. against Florida State College of Jacksonville before wrapping up their fall camp next week with the UCF Softball World Series on Tuesday-Thursday.

NEW ORLEANS – If nothing else, it's been entertaining having Randy Moss vs. Jerry Rice as the undercard bout before Sunday's Super Bowl.
Today, an ESPN employee was reading through the credentials of Cris Carter, Trent Dilfer, Mike Ditka and Jerry Rice before a press conference at the New Orleans Convention Center.
When she got to Rice, she introduced him as, "arguably the best receiver in NFL history."
Rice couldn't resist the opening.
"Second best," he said as laughter filled the room.
It was a jab at Moss, the former Viking who made headlines earlier in the week when he said he, not Rice, was the best receiver in NFL history.
Later, as Rice sat and talked with reporters, it was obvious that no matter what he says about not being upset with Moss, Rice is very much upset with Moss.
"I'm just having fun with it, but I think the thing is I never took any plays off and always gave 100 percent," said Rice, who won three Super Bowls, one Super Bowl MVP and holds most of the league's major career receiving records.
"And also, if you put my numbers up against Randy's, my body of work compared to his work, there's a big difference. I know he said you can't bring the stats into the scenario, but I think that's part of being the best receiver in the game."
Rice went on to say that Moss was "probably was the most talented" player in NFL history.
"But along with being the most talented, you also have to work hard," Rice said. "Every season, every play. I was not the most talented, but I was going to outwork you.
"He could have been probably the greatest player to ever play the game. Gifted, 6-foot-5, could run a 4.3, could outjump you. He struck fear into the opponent. But you got to have it here in your heart."
Rice pointed at his chest as he said that. Then he continued.
"This," said Rice, pointing to his Super Bowl ring, "is how I impacted the game. With Super Bowl rings. I'm hoping he can go out there and win his first one on Sunday."
More Moss rankings: Moss is being asked by reporters to rank, rank, rank. The last guy who had to do this much ranking was Casey Kasem (Note: old-guy reference to a once-popular Top 40 radio program).
Moss was asked to rank the top five players of all-time. He started by saying he wouldn't include quarterbacks because they belong in their own category. Then he started naming names.
"Walter Payton," Moss said. "Jerry Rice, Barry Sanders, Terrell Owens. You have to put T.O. in there."
Then Moss paused and asked, "How many did I say?"
"Four," said the reporters.
"Did I say myself?" Moss said.
"No," said the reporters.
"And Randy Moss," Moss said.
Moss also was asked for the top two players in NFL history that he admires most.
"Walter Payton," he said. "And myself."

I've decided to start blogging the more interesting images that I find around me. My Razr has come in terrifically handy for capturing my favorites…mostly graffiti and signs that I find interesting/humorous/both.
Here's one from my library, from one of the men's restrooms.

Simply watch one episode of Boardwalk Empire and you will be hooked by the 1920s. There was just as much glamour as there was crime back then. Everybody wanted a good time and prohibition was not going to stop them. While folks imbibed at the speakeasies, the gangsters made sure to keep the supplies plentiful. There was certainly no shortage of drama and that was evident in the style of the decade. Recreate the magic and the mayhem with plus size roaring 20s costumes.
Men can channel the style of the world's best gangster actors like Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney, both of whom made some of the best gangster movies ever. You can dress in plus size 20's costumes for men that resemble the gangster suits from these old movies. Women can capture the style of real life celebrity flappers like Mary Pickford and Lillian Gish. Plus size 20s costumes for women feature flappers dresses in many colors and Gatsby girl dresses too. Most come with a feather headband, which was a popular accessory.
Plus size 20s Halloween costume also make fun theme-party outfits and work especially well if your party includes a casino night with authentic cocktails, music and dancing. As previously stated, the series Boardwalk Empire and turned the Roaring 20's into a trendy party theme. There is even a casino in Atlantic City that outfits their staff in 20's costumes and carries the theme throughout the hotel.

Martin Carlin (cabinetmaker)
French, c. 1730 - 1785
Work and Writing Table, c. 1770
veneered with sycamore, tulipwood, purplewood, ebony, boxwood, and various other woods; gilded bronze mounts
overall: 73.8 x 79.6 x 46.1 cm (29 1/16 x 31 5/16 x 18 1/8 in.)
Widener Collection
On View
Object 5 of 6
When the writing surface of this lady's table is pulled forward, the top automatically slides back. The gilt-bronze corner ornaments consist of crossed torches and quivers of arrows. These ancient military motifs act here as emblems of love-burning passions and Cupid's darts.
The top is veneered with a neoclassical pattern of checkered squares punctuated by rosettes. Fluted legs taper to a daring slenderness, and the center panels of all four sides drop below the main silhouette. These deep falls appear to defy gravity, adding to the piece's apparent weightlessness.
Martin Carlin, who signed this table, was noted for such elegant proportions. He specialized in ladies' small-scale furniture, which he usually sold ready-made through dealers instead of working on commissions from patrons. Carlin's popularity is indicated in purchases made by Madame du Barry, Marie Antoinette, and the great-aunts of Louis XVI.
Born in Baden, Germany, Carlin had moved to Paris by 1759, when he married a sister of the cabinetmaker Jean-François Oeben. Along with Oeben's other pupils, including Leleu and Riesener, Carlin was among the most fashionable of neoclassical designers.

Index of Memorial Resolutions and Biographical Sketches
Jorge Luis Diviño, or "Luis," as he was known to his many friends and colleagues, was quite possibly the best-loved professor ever to grace the halls of the School of Architecture at The University of Texas at Austin. There he taught and inspired hundreds of students for 20 years, from the fall semester of 1961 until his retirement in the spring of 1980. Professor Emeritus Diviño died April 25, 1999, at the age of ninety.
Jorge Luis Diviño was born in Havana, Cuba, on November 14, 1909. He received a bachelor of science degree from Georgia Tech University in 1934 and a bachelor of architecture degree from the University of Havana in 1937, later completing a master of architecture degree at Princeton University, where he also engaged in post-master's work. In the summer of 1935 he was an intern with noted American architect Richard Neutra.
Diviño practiced and taught architecture in his native Cuba until his move to the United States in 1961. His teaching positions included assistant professorships at both the University of Havana and Villanova University between 1937 and 1960. In his thriving architectural practice in Cuba, Diviño designed numerous buildings, including residences, schools, and churches. But it was architectural education that seemed to be his greatest love, and it was truly his great gift. After arriving in Texas he resumed his teaching career at UT, first as a visiting lecturer and then as an assistant professor, receiving his first promotion in 1963. He was promoted in 1969 to the position of associate professor and became a full professor in 1974. After his retirement he was given the lifetime honor of professor emeritus. At that time the Jorge Luis Diviño Centennial Scholarship in the School of Architecture was established to provide continued assistance to students in perpetuity.
During his 44-year teaching career in Cuba and Texas, Luis Diviño was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Teaching Excellence Award from the Students' Association, the Cactus Award, and the Student Government of the School of Architecture Award. In 1981, the organization known as El Colegio de Arquitectos de Cuba en el Exilo presented him with a dual award as an outstanding professor and for his excellence in the practice of architecture.
Students recall Jorge Luis Diviño as relentlessly punctual, fastidious, and demanding. At the beginning of each studio class he would remove the desk broom from his satchel and carefully sweep off the table at the front of the room before neatly laying out his course materials. There was always one ten-minute break in the middle of each session. Aside from that, the students remained in the studio, working with great concentration at their drawing boards as Luis circulated among them. His students bore only the purest respect for him, and as has been mentioned, much love. Because of this, they produced an amazing amount of first-rate work for him.
Luis Diviño's personal life was as rich, complex, and fulfilling as his professional life. In 1942 he married Ana Ortiz. Their union was blessed with four children: Cecilia, Anita, Carmen, and Louis. Luis's widow, Ana Ortiz Diviño, and his son and youngest child, Louis D. Diviño, have remained in Austin. His eldest child, Cecilia Diviño, died in 1996. His two surviving daughters live in other parts of Texas. Dr. Anita D. Cleveland and her husband Dr. Donald B. Cleveland reside in Denton. Carmen Prodoehl lives in Houston.
Also surviving are Diviño's three grandchildren, Austin L. Diviño of Austin, and Paul Jerome and David A. Prodoehl of Houston, his sister Emma Diviño of Havana, Cuba, and his sister-in-law Mrs. Pedro Cue and her children.
Jorge Luis Diviño will be remembered as a kind, compassionate, private man, an example of integrity to his colleagues and students alike.

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe meets with African Union Observer Mission members (unseen) at Zimbabwe House in Harare, Thursday, April, 3, 2008. (AP Photo)
Michigan State University has stripped Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe of an honorary law degree it gave him in 1990, citing a pattern of human rights abuses.
Mugabe led the struggle to overcome white minority rule over what then was called Rhodesia. But he now faces wide domestic and international opposition over Zimbabwe's economic collapse and political repression.
The Lansing State Journal reports Michigan State trustees voted unanimously Friday to revoke the degree, accusing Mugabe of violence, aggression and intimidation.
Zimbabwe Embassy spokesman Wilbert Gwashavanhu (gwah-shu-VAH'-new) in Washington says Mugabe is a national hero and unifier who deserves praise for his leadership.

Cody Zeller set to join Indiana teammate Victor Oladipo in draft
Sophomore forward Cody Zeller will announce Wednesday afternoon that he, like junior guard Victor Oladipo, is entering the 2013 NBA Draft, sources confirmed to CBSSports.com. Both are projected top-10 picks, according to CBSSports.com.
Zeller and Oladipo led Indiana to an outight Big Ten title.
The Hoosiers lost to Syracuse in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament.
This development is not surprising, but it does ensure Tom Crean will enter next season without his top four scorers, four guys -- Zeller, Oladipo, Christian Watford and Jordan Hulls -- who combined to average 52.1 points and 23.0 rebounds per game. Still, the Hoosiers are ranked 23rd in the preseason Top 25 (and one) based on the return of Yogi Ferrell, Will Sheehey, Remy Abell, and the addition of another heralded recruiting class.

Was Michelle Obama's Vacation in Spain Excessive?
Michelle Obama's recent vacation in Spain attracted (a lot of) media attention. CBS ran two stories examining the public costs of her travels, which included details about the matching sundresses she bought and the fancy resort she stayed in (with her "forty" friends). Columnist Andrea Tantros called Obama a "modern-day Marie Antoinette" and a "material girl."
The anger seems to be, in part, focused on the Florida Gulf Coast. Since the Obamas have been encouraging the public to travel to the Gulf Coast to support the area, the public (or, rather, the media's voice on behalf of the public) seems to think that the Obamas should be traveling to the Gulf Coast, and only to the Gulf Coast. The Obamas do plan to go to the Gulf Coast this weekend (August 14), but they are also going to Martha's Vineyard for a 10-day vacation afterward.
Luxury is part of the issue in question, too. Luxury, and taxpayer dollars. Mrs. Obama paid her personal costs on her trip to Spain, but Americans paid for the $146,000 U.S. Air Force 757 aircraft on which she travelled, $95,000 in hotel costs for 70 security personnel, and for their cars and other expenses (an estimated $375,000 more). Of course, she couldn't go on vacation without them, because we require her to travel with security.
A lot of the claims about the trip are just rumors. Mrs. Obama did not ask for "special treatment" at the hotel, just discretion. She did not have forty friends with her. The media is also upset that she left poor President Obama home alone on his birthday. Oh, the drama. The press rarely mentions that the idea for the vacation originated with Mrs. Obama's friend, Anita Blanchard, who delivered both the Obamas' daughters. Or that Mrs. Blanchard's father recently died. Michelle Obama is a friend and a mother, not just a first lady. Nor does the media recall that in 1962, Jacqueline Kennedy took a three week vacation at an Italian seaside villa with her daughter, and the only concern of the press was their one "outrageous" activity: water skiing.
Other pundits claim that other first ladies didn't travel as extravagantly as Mrs. Obama. For example, Hillary Clinton supposedly only travelled internationally when there was other "official" business (although she did ride an elephant with Chelsea and so forth). On Sunday, Mrs. Obama and her daughter, Sasha, had lunch with King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia in their Majorca summer palace. She also kept up on issues at home. But, critics have determined this is "business light" and not worth a vacation to Spain. And this is a time of austerity and belt-tightening; a time when no one is allowed any fun. This is no time for vacation…
The question becomes: does the first family deserve to vacation as they please (like all American citizens), or should they only engage in economical, responsible, and business-oriented travel?

Men's XC Steals Seventh At Franklin Park
Oct. 8, 2011
BOSTON, Mass. - A trip to the state's capital was just the string of luck required for Ken O'Brien's squad, as the UMass men's cross country team placed a solid seventh place in a field of 39 teams at the New England Championships on Saturday. The trip to Franklin Park was one that featured 282 harriers, including some of the Northeast's most talented teams. With 264 points, the Minutemen were outperformed by only six opponents, as rival UConn took home first place.
Leading UMass for the third consecutive meet was graduate student Sean Duncan. The Gardner, Mass. native placed an impressive 12th overall by crossing the line at 25:10, while maintaining a 5:07 pace per mile. Behind Duncan was week one leader for the Minutemen, sophomore Antony Taylor. Posting a mark of 25:33 in the men's varsity competition, the Arlington, Mass. native took home 30th overall.
Sophomore support carried the latter part of UMass' top five finishers, with Patrick McGowan and Jared Reddy coming in third and fourth on the team respectively with times of 25:44 and 26:14. The duo captured 37th and 72nd in the field of 282 competitors.
Rounding out the quintet from Amherst, Mass. was senior Andrew Erwin, who posted his second top five team finish of the season and first since the Bryant University Invite (9/10). The Mansfield, Mass. native crossed the line at 26:44 while taking home 113th overall.
The Minutemen hit the course once again on October 29th for the highly anticipated A-10 Conference Championships in Charlotte, N.C.

This review is from: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Xbox 360 Game
Pros: I'm a big fan of the games and books that predict future works. This game reminds me of the shadowrun game in the early 90's. Of course the graphics aren't comparable, but the ideas are similar since they're both so fascinating. This is a short game, but definitely worth it if you like movies such add blade runner and the 5th element. Incredible deal for $29. It also has a lot of similarities to the original metal gear solid games. Good times!
Cons: As I mentioned, the game was short. The worlds were kind of small, but nevertheless interesting. I would love to seer a follow up.

Deus does the job
This review is from: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Xbox 360 Game
Pros: Deus does everything it goes for right a stealth game ala splinter cell check cqc style combat similar to metal gear check and if you just want to blast your way through sort of a check
Cons: Combat can get a bit intense since your usually be low on ammo and you have waves of enemies coming at you. Choices you made really didn't seem to matter much. Story is solid but not its strongest point and in my opinion the ending was not as for filling as i hoped
Other Thoughts: Great game keeps you locked in for hours of great fun you can beat it in a few days but if you like to 100% a game you'll have your work cut out

This review is from: Deus Ex: Human Revolution Xbox 360 Game
Pros: If you liked any of the Deus Ex games, then you'll like this; perhaps even more. The gameplay is customizable and suitable to your own taste in combat and the storyline is engaging enough that you'll want to to play it over again for the additional difficulties and different endings.
Cons: Honestly, its a little old once you finish the game completely...
Other Thoughts: Definitely recommended

Looks ok but I would have gone with 650c wheels on a frame that small.
wonder how it will handle with that geometry. Seems like a 70 degree head angle is kinda extreme
A lugged steel fork and your set.
Your lucky you received your frame before Steve Rex's crash and time away from the torch. My brother sent me the clip out of the Sac Bee. Hopefully he will be back at it in Jan..

I don't know why the instrctions say to use the name "@". It is suppose to represent your domain name but its not very clear at all. Substitute the @ for your domain name then it should let you add the TXT record

Turns out your Brazilian wax is nothing new.
When I first saw this J. Crew ad, I thought "oh, that girl has hairy legs. Well, that's certainly eye-catching. And kind of subversive, maybe? Although, really, I guess a lot of models are coming from cultures where shaving your legs isn't taken to be a complete norm the way it is in America so…" and then I realized that her legs weren't hairy at all.

Are You Going to San Fierro?
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 20:46, 11 June 2006 by 18.104.22.168 (talk)
Truth Mission: Are You Going to San Fierro
As you begin this mission, Truth explains that the police are on their way and that CJ needs to help him burn certain "vegetations" that Truth had been growing.
You obtain a flame-thrower so begin to burn the plants and make sure get every last one of them.
After you've burned all of them, a police chopper arrives and you'll have to shoot it down. Obtain the missile launcher from Truth's barn and shoot down the police helicopter.
Now, get into Sweet's hippie van and drive to the garage you won from Claude in San Fierro.

Since the first Innocence Project's founding in New York in 1992, more than 400 individuals serving long prison sentences for rape or murder have been exonerated based on DNA analysis of blood, semen, or other biological material, or on other evidence conclusively establishing their innocence. The exonerations are largely the work of individual, non-profit innocence projects throughout the U.S. and Canada, most of which are associated with law or journalism schools. In a significant percentage of these cases, exoneration led to the apprehension of the actual perpetrator, who would otherwise have continued to escape justice.
In 2004, Bruce Godschalk walked out of a Pennsylvania prison, 17 years after being wrongly convicted of two rape charges. His exoneration was made possible through post-conviction DNA testing and the steadfast efforts of renowned Philadelphia civil rights attorney David Rudovsky. It is because of Godschalk's story, and hundreds like it, that Rudovsky and David Richman, a former prosecutor and long-time prisoners rights advocate as a litigator with Pepper Hamilton LLP, teamed up to form the Pennsylvania Innocence Project.
Using DNA testing or other irrefutable evidence, the project, housed at Temple University Beasley School of Law, will work to identify, and then exonerate, Pennsylvania inmates who have been wrongfully convicted despite their actual innocence. Armed with the evidence of flawed practices revealed by wrongful convictions, it will also advocate for reforms of the criminal justice system and the adoption of best practices statewide. Through Temple Law's innocence clinic, specially-trained students will screen, investigate and pursue in the courts claims of actual innocence under the supervision of the project's legal director and volunteer lawyers.
With the launch of this project, Pennsylvania joins more than 50 other innocence projects nationwide dedicated to securing freedom for persons imprisoned for crimes they did not commit and eliminating the causes of wrongful convictions.
"Temple Law has always been a leader in public service, so our association with this legal innocence project is a natural fit," said JoAnne A. Epps, dean of the law school. "It provides exciting opportunities not only for Temple and the faculty, but most of all for the students who will learn valuable legal skills as participants in this vital endeavor that seeks to strengthen the quality of justice."

Another short tutorial on how to get tcpdump to run as a non root user. However this is setup correctly so that root and only the permitted users can execute the file and run it. We would not want random people being able to run it stealing our traffic now.
You can enable this for non root users in a secure method by using the following commands
groupadd tcpdump
addgroup <username> tcpdump
chown root.tcpdump /usr/sbin/tcpdump
chmod 0750 tcpdump
setcap "CAP_NET_RAW+eip" /usr/sbin/tcpdump
As a breif explenation of the above.

The Formula One 2015 race circuit has been heating up from the beginning. The Malaysian Grand Prix on March 29th started with a great dramatic effect when Sebastian Vettel won the Grand Prix leaving others far behind. Previous to this grand prix, Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes secured the top position in the Australian Grand Prix. In the beginning of the year, it seemed as though the year completely belonged to Lewis Hamilton. However, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg have also made their mark on the race circuit prominently as well.
Leading to the Singapore Grand Prix on the 20th of September, Lewis Hamilton hit the top position once again at the Italian Grand Prix. It can be certainly be considered a great year for Lewis Hamilton and his team Mercedes. Both the champion drivers from Mercedes, Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg have tasted success in most of the races this year. It has left few options in the cards for other drivers on the circuit but online bookmakers are still dishing out odds regardless. If Lewis Hamilton wins the title again at the Singapore Grand Prix that is scheduled only few days from now on the 20th of September then superiority of his place on the Formula One in 2015 can be proved yet again without any doubt. And to make this next upcoming race
From the Singapore Grand Prix, the drivers will move to the Japanese Grand Prix that is scheduled to start on the 27th of September. The Russian Grand Prix will be held on the 11th of October after offering some rest to the drivers. Afterwards, there will be a quick move to the United States of America for the scheduled race on the 26th of October. To open the winter season, there will be two Grand Prix with the Mexican Grand Prix on the 2nd of November and the Brazilian Grand Prix on the 15th of November. After finishing the races, the drivers will move towards the east with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on the 29th of November.
Lewis Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Nico Rosberg have certainly made an excellent impression on the minds of viewers. However, other drivers like Felipe Massa from Williams and Kimi Raikkonen from Ferrari are not too far behind. They will certainly want to catch up with the top drivers in the standings. Therefore, a highly thrilling competition can be envisioned for future races in 2015.
From the British Grand Prix, instituted in 2015, the rules have been changed on the issue of power units. Fresh power units can be utilized in the due course naturally. As a result of changing power units, penalties are not given to the drivers. However, it can be applied if some of the components of the power units are altered.
After the crash of Jules Bianchi in Japan, FIA has decided to increase the safety features of the competition further. A lot of debate has been going in the circuit due to this unfortunate event. President of FIA and race director from the ruling body Charlie Whiting has said that they have learned a lesson from this event and it cannot be repeated again.
With that said and with the 2015 rendition of the Singapore GP fast approaching, why not check out who's favorited to win one of the most interesting races in the Formula One calendar year at the UK's most prominent bookmaker, BET365.
Can Hamilton ride to victory yet again? Or will there will be a surprise or two in store for the spectators in Singapore? Rev up your engines as the action is all about to unfold!

The FAAST Fire Alarm Aspiration Sensing Technology system can sense even minute traces of smoke, which is the initial notification of trouble, by capturing air into its sensor via a pipe network. This procedure makes the detector to provide ultra precise and careful very early warning fire detection required for challenging and high-critical areas such as prisons, corporate data centers, military destinations and 911 dispatch centers.
The FAAST smoke detector is based on its proprietary Dual Vision sensing technology. The sensor uses an ultra sensitive blue LED to detect fire very early up to 60 min. before the actual combustion. The sensor also utilizes an IR laser to detect dust, which can be a reason for downtime and false alarms. The sensor analyzes signals from both sources to offer very early notification about the broad range of fires existing.
The FAAST smoke detector's parts including the front panel, the back housing and the left door are made of Bayblend FR3010's polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (PC/ABS) plastic from Bayer MaterialScience.
