Brittany Howard is my new favorite singer. Not only because she is big and bold and unafraid to distort her face if the vocal sound she produces warrants her doing so. She is the new "it" girl and a force of nature to boot, and you can say you heard it hear first She reminds me of the way Phoebe Snow looked at the beginning of her career. Phoebe surely must have been bullied by the record companies to lose weight, straighten her hair and "wear some makeup if you want to sell records." In this day and age of over-produced, perfect sounding, looking, marketed and packaged music, Brittany is a refreshing newly defined diva of soul on the indie scene. She is the emotion packed, gut wrenching, versatile lead singer, songwriter and guitarist of Alabama Shakes.
The Alabama Shakes are four musicians from North Alabama who grew up together in a small town fifteen miles from the Tennessee state line. They formed a rock and roll band after high school, and started playing together two evenings a week after their day jobs finished. Brittany was the impetus for forming the group, she noticed Zac Cockrell in the halls of her high school wearing a T shirt from an obscure band and said to herself, "This guy must be cool." She convinced him to get together at her house to play some music and the Shakes were born. Later they changed their name to Alabama Shakes. The group recorded a few tracks in Nashville in early 2011 and played a show at a record store there. The fan base quickly grew.
The full length debut album, Boys & Girls, which just was released the week of 4/10/2012, is going to make her America's answer to Adele, mark my words. Maybe she doesn't have the coveted angelic features of Adele, but she knows who she is and what she is singing about, and she is a powerhouse force to be reckoned with. I happened to catch her on the Conan O'Brien Show and last nite on Letterman and was instantly smitten.
Her chunky, bluesy, no-glam approach makes her an unlikely frontwoman but her raw energy, Southern charm and vocal style reminded me of Janis Joplin meets Etta James with a pinch of Billie Holiday. It's that old-school crooner stance that just rivets the listener. And like I said, if lookin' ugly sounds pretty, then she's going there. "Hold On," the album's lead single, has Howard making major dynamic changes, from soft, calm tones to powerful, gritty screaming. The band's backup vocals blend well with Howard's heavy belting and the tambourine and guitars add to the organic mix.
Kristyn Winch writes for many music online sites and said, "Alabama Shakes isn't the only throwback band on the scene right now, but it has one of the strongest singers in the business. Over the course of the record, Howard will make you smile, cry, dance and scream right along with her. With Howard behind the microphone, the band will be cranking out hits for years to come."
Brittany is not your typical looking music star on the scene today, but she will win you over instantly. I happen to prefer my divas with diversity, dynamism and talent, thank you very much. Don't change a hair, Brittany. You are perfect. We'll be watching…

In 2008, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) chartered the VHA Academic Detailing Service through the Office of Mental Health and Pharmacy Benefits Management Services. A team of clinical pharmacists trained as academic detailers deliver targeted information through the use of key messages to providers during individual or group educational outreach visits. The objective of academic detailing is to influence prescribing behaviors to provide safe and cost-effective treatment modalities. Messages over the last year have focused on the appropriate use of antipsychotic medications and medication safety.
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a disabling psychiatric illness and is defined by the occurrence of at least a single major depressive episode. The Sequenced Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D) trial was a multi-center, prospective, randomized control trial with broad inclusion criteria that intended to evaluate the most specific, cost-effective, and practical next step treatment options for treatment-resistant depression. STAR*D provided recommendations on how to start and modify therapy for MDD.
Despite guideline recommendations for alternative agents, benzodiazepines are still widely prescribed for anxiety and related disorders. Patient specific factors including older age, concomitant disease states, and concurrent medications can lead to increased risk for adverse events such as central nervous system depression and subsequent injury including falls.
The rate of survival in cystic fibrosis (CF) has increase, but it is still complicated by high rates of morbidity, which may be compounded by anxiety and depression. Conflicting data about the prevalence of anxiety and depression in CF exists. Although data are conflicting, experts recommend screening for anxiety and depression at least annually. This study aims to contribute to available data, but more importantly to characterize the CF population at Keck Hospital of USC and work toward the implementing routine screening into standard practice.
Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare NeuroScience Center is a multidisciplinary clinical initiative that provides services to patients with neurological disorders. The NeuroScience Center houses a Memory Disorder Clinic, Parkinson 's Center, and Multiple Sclerosis Clinic. It also provides supportive services for patients with seizures, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological disorders. Pharmacists work with neurologists, social workers, neuropsychologists, speech therapists, and nurses to individually and collectively assess patients with these disorders. Practice faculty from Florida A&M University College of Pharmacy provide comprehensive medication reviews and other services such as patient and caregiver education.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder may be twice that of the general population and treatment with atypical antipsychotics increases the risk of MS. Literature suggests patients with schizophrenia are less likely to receive management of concomitant medical conditions. The purpose of this study is to determine if patients with mental illness are less likely to receive interventions for uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors.
The rare, but potentially fatal, side effect of agranulocytosis has caused the use of clozapine to be regulated more than any other antipsychotic medication. All patients must be registered in the Clozapine National Registry and frequent monitoring of WBC (white blood cell) count and ANC (absolute neutrophil count) must be performed every 7-28 days depending on the current duration of treatment. According to the clozapine monitoring guidelines provided by the Clozapine National Registry, a WBC count less than 3000/mm³ or ANC less than 1500/mm³ requires interruption of clozapine therapy. However, some physicians and patients are reluctant to discontinue clozapine. There are limited published reports in which clozapine was continued and the neutropenia was managed by adding lithium or granulopoiesis stimulating factors (GSFs), changing concomitant medications that might also be implicated in neutropenia, or observing to see if neutropenia is transient.

Digital Radio Benefits
Digital radios have become the most recent preferred product in the business toolbox at this time. With the many advantages accessible through their use, company owners now have the capability to monitor operations 24/7, if necessary. Absolutely no other technological innovation is as capable as 2 way radios as well as electronic receivers in order to easily broadcast both voice and information over multiple bandwidths within a few moments, in a cost-effective expense. Cell phones yet have their own place in business enterprise, however the digital radios have the capability to work beyond the constraint of cell systems and terrain blocks. For people who wish to contend in business today, digital technological innovation is the approach to take.
The Quality Of Sound With Digital Radios
Before now, mobile phones were the closest technological innovation to send out true voice instantly between users. Today, with the arrival of digital radios, or radios analogos in Spanish, the capability to send out true sound as it occurs is with no limitations. Since all sound as well as data is definitely changed into binary code before transmission, and then changed at the receiver, what results in is genuine sound, with no interference or distortion. Digital technological innovation isn't hampered by just atmospheric problems or even electrical interference.
Variety Of Transmissions
Under its predecessor, analog communications, broadcasters were limited to having the capacity to only sending a single type of electronic media at any given time, voice or data. With digital radios, however, consumers have the option of multiple transmissions in a single time period, be it voice or data, with no distortion, and with total safety. Regarding enjoyment purposes, this ability has widened the field significantly, permitting numerous broadcasts concurrently over a broader range of channels.
Control Functions
With digital radios, the user today has far more management over its function than in the past. In the case of two way radios, the user has the opportunity of communicating with a single person, numerous audience, or filter the available bandwidths towards various channels for use by many other people in their group. The degree of safety imposed on such communications is also capable to be manipulated by the user, who can control the quantity of filtering, scrambling as well as decoding that occurs throughout any one single transmission.
With digital radios used for entertainment reasons, the listener can rewind, fast forward and even pause broadcasts as they enter into their receivers. The degree of control available on newer units will even allow a person to setup a recording schedule in advance, so that they can pick and choose among available stations and record broadcasts when needed, and even download program guides to their preferred stations. A experienced manufacturer of digital radios is www.hyterala.com
User Level
There are times whenever new technological innovation becomes available which becoming familiar with using it can be a learning experience which some may not enjoy. With digital radios, even so, the learning curve has been shortened for almost all users, simply because the latest versions have already been made very easy to learn and fully grasp. Some models even function through speech recognition, so that manipulating the functions is easier than ever before, simply by speaking what you intend to do at any moment. If anything can probably be said about the current technology, it is that it is as easy to use as it gets.

Man charged after leading police on I-81 chase
A Wilkes-Barre man's wild ride on Interstate 81 with a loaded shotgun and a hostage in tow landed him with a load of charges.
Alexis Nunez, 40, of Sheridan Street, is charged with kidnapping, illegal possession of a firearm, aggravated assault, unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment, simple assault, fleeing police, causing an accident and seven summary counts of reckless driving.
According to police:
After receiving reports of a hostage situation Sunday afternoon, police tracked down Nunez to the area of the Big Lots store parking lot on Kidder Street, where he was allegedly holding Pamela Santana against her will in a gray 2002 Dodge Caravan with passenger-side damage.
Nunez got out of the minivan when police arrived, but when he saw Wilkes-Barre police Officer Bernard Magagna exit a patrol car with weapon drawn, Nunez ran back to his vehicle, jumped in and drove off "in a reckless manner," attempting to ram the patrol vehicle of the other arresting officer, Alan Gribble.
A chase ensued, with speeds at times exceeding 100 miles per hour.
Nunez drove north on Kidder Street, turned onto state Route 309 south and then onto I-81 north. Police said Santana, in the front passenger seat, looked "visibly distraught." With police in pursuit, Nunez continued to travel northbound on I-81. He drove the minivan over the grass median in the area of the Moosic exit and headed down I-81 south in the wrong direction. Nunez then went the wrong way down the Moosic exit ramp and went south on I-81 north against oncoming traffic.
Other police departments, including state police, joined the chase. Nunez crossed the median near the Avoca exit and went south in the southbound lane of I-81, but then reversed again in the Wilkes-Barre Township area and went north.
Police laid out a spike strip in the area of the Dupont exit and punctured a front tire of Nunez's minivan, bringing it to a stop. When they rescued Santana and took Nunez into custody, they found a loaded 12-gauge shotgun between the front seats.
After police questioned him, Nunez was sent to Luzerne County Correctional Facility where Magisterial District Judge Gerald Feissner arraigned him. Nunez stayed in jail when unable to post $30,000 cash bail.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Nov. 15 in front of Magisterial District Judge Martin Kane.

U.S. gives $3.5 million to study W.Va. math classes
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia students will take part in a new digital math program next year, and an international nonprofit research group will study how it helps students learn. The U.S. Department of Education recently awarded California-based SRI International $3.5 million to roll out the new math program in West Virginia elementary schools. The program is fully digital and centered around an online curriculum that provides instant feedback for students and teachers. SRI International will research student progress under the new curriculum in more than 50 second-grade and fifth-grade math classes across the state beginning in August 2014. Reasoning Mind, a nonprofit organization that focuses on "providing a first-rate mathematics education for every child," created the online program. West Virginia high school students score among the lowest in the country on math assessments. Only one third of West Virginia students who took the ACT in 2012 tested as ready for college-level coursework in mathematics, with fewer than half of all high school juniors scoring in the proficient range in math on the WESTEST. The multi-year study will monitor the impact of computer-based learning and how it matches up against traditional classroom lessons. Reasoning Mind CEO Alex Khachatryan said the system "is not just a technology wrapper on a traditional textbook." "Our goal is to provide a curriculum that is a comprehensive, coherent approach to learning mathematics using state-of-the-art tools," Khachatryan said. "This study allows us to evaluate the efficacy of this approach." The study will examine how digital resources can increase learning for students, and explore the comparison of conventional textbook approaches with digital curriculum, in addition to studying the impact on a wider diversity of students. "Although there is growing interest in online education and digital tools, there has not been a rigorous evaluation of a year-long, fully digital curriculum in the classroom," said Jeremy Roschelle, co-director of the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI. "Reasoning Mind offers a complete curriculum, ready for evaluation, and the state of West Virginia offers the right conditions for testing a digital mathematics approach at scale." SRI said West Virginia is the ideal state for the study, pointing to factors such as implementing Common Core standards, having good technical infrastructure, exhibiting success with Reasoning Mind in the past, showing an interest from the state Department of Education in supporting the project and a need to improve math education. The Reasoning Mind program already has begun in Marion and Cabell county schools, according to the Department of Education. "While the WVDE supports the program, it was up to the counties to decide if they wanted to conduct/pay for a pilot," said DOE spokeswoman Liza Cordeiro. Part of the federal grant will go toward the cost of providing the Reasoning Mind program to schools for at least two years. After that, it would be up to schools to pay their own way to continue the program. Reach Mackenzie Mays at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-4814.

In Barry Bonds I See The Future of Poetry
The inevitability of Barry Bonds serves notice to all poets invested in the Humanist tradition: your tenure is doomed. Barry Bonds is not only the future of athletics, but he's also emblematic of the future of poetry. More machine than man, chemically enhanced, Bonds is our first mainstream Posthuman public figure. Moving awkwardly, robot-like, festooned with machines — a barrage of cameras following his every move and enormous noise-canceling headphones to silence the jeers — he's a media-made technologically-supplemented Frankenstein. We dismiss him a as fraud, but we know in our hearts that his way is the way of the future; regardless, we cheer his accomplishment. We disdain his Posthumanism, but we shall soon come to realize that we created the phenomenon of Barry Bonds. We demand our athletes to be super-human and super-human they shall be. Bonds just points to the fact that being human has ceased to be enough: we demand the precision and complexity of machines, in athletes, in politicians, in business and in the arts. And what we demand, we now have.
Barry Bonds has become the embodiment of Posthuman: "the
hypothetical future present being whose basic capacities so radically exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards." We react in kind: we deny Bonds his humanness ("He is either unfazed by negativity or internalizes every hostile remark," one newsman recalls) and call him cold, unresponsive, selfish ("'I take care of me," Bonds tells reporters). Futurism made flesh, Barry Bonds is a lovechild of William S. Burroughs ("We ourselves are machines") and Andy Warhol ("I want to be a machine").
Bonds' milestone signifies an end to the humanist discourse. In the classic sense of Baudrillard's "The Precession of Simulacra," the idea of Barry Bonds has long preceded the actual event, hence predetermining the outcome. And the outcome is obvious. Barry Bonds is being crucified for the inevitable; he is a martyr for the future. And in the future, just as our children will reminisce about when humans beings still played baseball, we shall reminisce about the time when human beings still wrote poetry for other humans.
Comments (19)
I almost agree with this. But actually, the lawyer in me (I am a poet and lawyer) just says, that the law, and now clearly, our social mores, and rules (our law as a society), cannot keep up with technology. Our technologically advanced world, full of more and more ways to succeed and rise high quickly, is always ahead of the laws of our lives. We then try to revise the laws or something but it is too late.
But it is heavier than that. Bonds was clearly on steriods but the laws of baseball were slow to the roll and in on this one because they thought it was profitable. Did you call him post-human? Brilliant! But I have to add that it is more than post-human, the entire deal is post-order, post-America.
Bonds isn't the point; it is America that is the point. America is on steroids because it has to be. Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron represented order, the former America: obey the rules, drink beer, be humble, and don't cheat or cut corners. They didn't either because they didn't have to cheat.
Bonds' capture of the record is a complete crashing of that known order, the order that is America, democracy, freedom, etc., the wonderful ideals that they told us about that no don't really exist anymore except to the extent that we yell for them. Today's America is now not just against those ideals, they are openly against those ideals. Last night, another warrantless search law was passed. The President of the U.S. made fun of a law that provided health care for children.
America has to be on steroids (puffed up, huge and scary looking, but inside, hurting, decaying) because no one is really that impressed anymore by it.
America is Bonds, the over the top superstar, who only needed to be himself and we would have loved him even if he was flawed. Instead, he crossed the line, and now, he is at the point of no return. Can America get off steroids and not become an asterisk? Is America, post human?
The future will tell how prescient you are about your predictions but I will tell you that your choice of picture to represent Bonds is indicative of something deeply inhuman about you. Show a picture of the machine doing something mechanical like hitting a ball instead of looking maniacal.
I'm with Toni Ashante Lightfoot–
your discourse completely ignores a very human one that Barry Bonds has made clear over and over again for some years now–that the record he wanted to shatter was Ruth's (and for single season homers, Mark McGwire's)–that is, a Black Man holding BOTH home run records–career & single season. The issue of the steroids is not soley one of Barry Bonds' issues–you are forgetting the great number obaseball players who in a very short period of time ten to twelve years ago, right in plain view, suddenly grew much much larger, beefier, more muscle bound–and began their assaults on the recrod book accompanied by an immense fanfare and adoration–Mark McGwire being portrayed as an image swathed in the American Flag. No one cried foul about steroids at the time–it is only now that Bonds is about to break the two recrods–that the crescendo re steroids has reached such a point. During congressioanl hearings, it became obvious that McGwire has used steroids, and his Hall of Fame chnaces now are much dimmed. Rafael Palmeiro, usually s rue fire Hall of Famer, was even tested positive after his vehment testimony to Congress of his innocnence and the flase charges of Jose Canseco in his book Juiced. (Canseco ironically has turned out to be the honest voice speaking out against steroid use and using himself as an example. Of course he is also seen as exploiting his being such a good guy to repair and sell anew his burned out, scandal riddled, often ridiculed career's public image.)
In this context, what Bond is doing is in part saying–the thing you all most fear is a Black Man holding both homer records, and not only that, a Black Man who never conformed even in his early career with the expectations of the media for a "nice interview" or "outgoing personality thankful for coverage". When Bonds began using/not using chemical and vitamin supplements, it was in the midst of a massive wave of ball players all doing the same thing. I think part of Bonds' postion now is that–see I told you all along–a Balck Man doing the same as the others in chasing the records–and a "surly" Balck Man at that–will cause more fear and condmenation than any other athlete. The point is not the mechanization of the ball player at all–but the ball player using mechanization to show the hypocrisy of the syetem they are involved in. When it immensely benefitted basebal to have the greate homer record races going on over a couple years, to draw back fans who had been leaving in droves, especially after the strike year–basball turned theother way and let rmpant use of every kind of supplement go on. Now that it seems better for baseball's image and poularity–they are trying to look "tough" and who better to treat toughly, most toughly of all, than a Black Athlete on the verge of owning two of the most legendary, hallowed records in the sport.
Barry Bonds is not the end to anything–but the continuation of things very long in the society, confronting these in huge public forum, and by being the anti-Jackie Robinson–questioning the whole idea of the "color line" having been erased. Barry bonds in his own way is saying –you stil think of me as America's worst nightmare, not America's Dream. As for the machines and chemicals–Barry Bonds isn't any different from hundreds of other ball players and thousands and thousands of athletes world wide. Each one has the human hope of having any kind of tiny extra edge over the opponent–if being vegans gave one an advantage, yo would find a mass run on conversion to veganism. Barry Bonds is not pushing the machine/human interface envelope–he is pushing the buttons of a whole society and it's attitudes across the board, not only in sports. Again, Barry Bonds is not the end to anything, but the continual confrontations in a struggle that goes on continually in a society that is always declaring that it is over with, a scociety that would rather Barry Bonds just went away–
or–could be turned into a machine–and not have to be faced as what he is, what he proclaims himself to be.
Remeber how hated Muhammad Ali was for quite some time, before finally being accepted–
Barry Bonds is a reminder that alot of those attitudes are still alive and well, including the proclaiming of him as post human, a robot.
I am deeply disturbed that Barry Bonds is being compared to Muhammad Ali, a man who risked everything including his life, to stand up for others. How can this be? Barry Bonds? You are not serious? Barry Bonds risked his life for selfish gains. If he had any ounce of dignity, he would have retired and confessed to the world. Pete Rose, the disgraced baseball star of not so long ago, finally came clean about his transgressions. It is time for Barry to ante up and say, I am sorry, I have been living a lie. I starting taking steroids in 1999 or something like that. He will soon, I assure you, especially when they return an indictment against him for perjury. It is sad and disturbing as well that such a great ballplayer (Bonds is great without steroids) felt he had to risk his health for absolute greatness. But no one thinks he is great anymore. Hall of Fame? It won't happen. I know, I know, it is racism. Yes, this is an opportunity for racism to act without impunity but that is because Bonds disgraced himself. And Bonds still acted for his own selfish reasons, to make himself great. It isn't like this is not well known either. He told his ex-girlfriend all of these things. He was jealous of Sammie Sosa (a black guy who was on the stuff) and Marh McGwire (a white guy who was on the stuff). It is crazy to think this guy has any political motivations; he didn't.
I totally agree that others who are on roids (and other enhancers) and were on roids have not become the poster child for this stuff, but Bonds wants to be the poster child for this era. He wants to be hated, to be despised, he actually gets off on this, because he knows now what his fate is and it isn't pretty. It is not his identity.
As for the comment about Ruth, is Bonds ill, or something? Last I checked as well, the guy named Henry Aaron risked his life as well, to break Ruth's record, and he did, under great pain, if you read his memoir, and did not resort to steroid cream or human growth hormones, or anything other than his heart and his principles. People said they could shoot him and he moved forward and destroyed the myth. Bonds didn't need to destroy the myth; it is dead already. And if that was the case, why didn't he stop?
Mr. Goldsmith–as a white member of our highly racialized society, you should be more careful about publicly dehumanizing a Black man, whatever the sarcastic, pseudointellectual phrasing (Posthuman) may be. On a poetic note: not all of us require machines (i.e. radios for weather reports or printing presses for the daily paper) to produce our art. The next time you want recruits for the Uncreativity Movement, please spare us Blacks from your propaganda.
I have no opinion about baseball, but I do think it would be interesting to take such an obsessive inventory of literary history in relation to substance use. Publishing is probably one of the only sectors that doesn't have some form of drug policy. Did Ginsberg or Burroughs have to take drug tests before signing contracts? Blake? Sartre? In fact many of the thinkers and writers that have shaped the social and political thought of the ages have all been chasing the dragon in one form or another. It is universally disdained and criticized in almost every aspect of of culture, but in the arts . . . it reminds me of Cary Grant (who was a big fan of LSD) in The Philadelphia Story when he addresses Jimmy Stewart saying, "Ah! A writer… the only profession where drinking to excess and beating your wife are a part of the job description." Mailer stabbed his wife and Burroughs shot his in the face. In any other corner of living they would be demons, but we experience them as eccentric trickster gods. Clearly a lot more can be said about all of this. The suicide sheik of Sexton and Plath and Berryman and a laundry list of others. A professor of mine once said quite simply: It's an occupational hazzard. I'm no angel this is just an observation.
Gee whiz, Mr. Michaux. I find the Posthuman to be a thrilling and positive development, regardless of race: Mr. Bonds is a hero. It's hard for me to believe that think my post sarcastic. It is far from it. I believe in every word I wrote and would say the identical things about a Caucasian, Asian or Hispanic person. I see the future and couldn't be more thrilled by it.
I'm curious about the crossed out "hypothetical future." Didn't Heidegger cross out words, or am I confusing him with Derrida?
It's Micheaux. And though you have the luxury of being thrilled, I do not. In our very recent history, individuals like myself and Mr. Bonds were everything but human. Pardon me, if I want to relish in my humanity a bit longer before the avant-garde decides to go post-.
Bonds is, indeed, human, but I urge everyone to read "Game of Shadows," (only a few chapter will suffice), you will probably come to realize that his version of human is so flawed and absurd, he is not worthy of anyone's defense. You will know that this one is going to play out (and it will) and it is going to be sad and ugly, folks, I assure you, it always ends up badly. I do hope his health holds up because history says it won't; steroids is a mutha on your body. It is package deal, everyone knows that, but for the fleeting glory they seek, the athlete takes the chance that it won't get them. That they are one that will escape its nasty course on the body. His hair has fallen out, and he has other issues but I hope he is able to get around it. And lets hope he doesn't go out of his mind. The good thing is, he has lots of money, but I wish him well even though I think the bad place he is in now, is lonely and pathetic.
I'm in agreement with Dante Micheaux. Nothing against the notion of the Posthuman, but this is definitely the wrong approach. So says Adorno, "To say 'we' and mean 'I' is one of the most recondite insults."
It is pointless to bash or defend Barry Bonds as an athlete or a baseball player, at least in this forum, because this conversation isn't really about sports.
Mr. Goldsmith, if your post isn't sarcastic or racist, then it is at the very least behind the times (ironically enough). Chemically enhanced, you say? Moving awkwardly, festooned with machines? Cameras following his every move, immune to criticism? Then where within this rubric is Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger? For that matter, where's Mark McGwire? I'd say you missed the boat by quite a wide margin.
I second the thoughts of Mr. Micheaux. I would add that if THIS is the avant-garde future, where a black public figure in the United States is held up by an academic as some sort of superhuman, steroid-juiced machine (in much the same way that slaves were prized for broad backs and stong shoulders), then I'm content to find myself another way forward.
I am still mystfied about what this blog has to do with poetry or literature or language or humanity or truth or beauty. Take your pick, it's just typing. Like someone speaking into a tube that loops around to their own ear. Fiction or prose has gone from metafiction to medifiction in the sense of medicated dissociation and so has poetry. Why hasn't the L=A=L=A poet done some mathematical wordplay with: Prozac (prose) and the symtom of aprosodia and language cognition and the idea of poetry and POETRY and the Lilly gift. Fertile ground for something really interesting. Did Ruth Lilly have some sort of vision that poetry could be the spiritual corrective from the insanity of her uncle's invention?
with capsules in my palms each night,
eight at a time from sweet pharmaceutical bottles
I make arrangements for a pint-sized journey.
I'm the queen of this condition.
I'm an expert on making the trip
and now they say I'm an addict.
Now they ask why.
Don't they know that I promised to die!
I'm keeping in practice.
I'm merely staying in shape.
The pills are a mother, but better,
every color and as good as sour balls.
I'm on a diet from death.
Yes, I admit
it has gotten to be a bit of a habit-
blows eight at a time, socked in the eye,
hauled away by the pink, the orange,
the green and the white goodnights.
I'm becoming something of a chemical
that's it!
My supply
of tablets
has got to last for years and years.
I like them more than I like me.
It's a kind of marriage.
It's a kind of war where I plant bombs inside
of myself.
I try
to kill myself in small amounts,
an innocuous occupation.
Actually I'm hung up on it.
But remember I don't make too much noise.
And frankly no one has to lug me out
and I don't stand there in my winding sheet.
I'm a little buttercup in my yellow nightie
eating my eight loaves in a row
and in a certain order as in
the laying on of hands
or the black sacrament.
It's a ceremony
but like any other sport
it's full of rules.
It's like a musical tennis match where
my mouth keeps catching the ball.
Then I lie on; my altar
elevated by the eight chemical kisses.
What a lay me down this is
with two pink, two orange,
two green, two white goodnights.
Now I'm borrowed.
Now I'm numb.
What Mr. Goldsmith is saying is very simple, poets who choose to ignore the advent of Duchamp are doomed to mediocrity. Duchamp brought with him post-modern self awareness and to deny it as opposed to working through it or with it is to pretend to be living in the 19th century.
I think Ms. Patricia Smith's commentary about the potential posthuman future is a brilliant warning to us all. I disagree that it must be accepted. More and more I am beginning to unsee some of what passes as normal for U.S. insular contemporary American poetry. A poem like Allen Ginsberg's "The Lion For Real" recently blew me away when I read it for the first time, and I bet it will blow people away years from now. Many posthuman highly technical poets hopefully will not matter.
If Ms. Smith is that Boston-based slam poet, than I remember her well when I lived in Boston in 1991, 1992 and saw her perform her poetry as an amazing actress (and once lost to her). That performance I recall was human and humanist to the core. In contrast this steroid-laden, machine-wearing posthuman future that Barry Bonds and others represent need not be embraced. If obscurity to the machine's media and awards is the price, I'd say not a bad price to pay. To put it in baseball terms, be Derek Jeter, not Barry Bonds.
As some have pointed out, this posthuman machine future has been long in coming, and John Ruskin described capitalism as attempting to make people into "animated tools."
For instance I just read Theordore Roethke's "Highway: Michigan" poem written in the 1930s from his "Collected Poems"; it might as well describe today. Here are the first two stanzas:
Here from the field's edge we survey
The progress of the jaded. Mile
On mile of traffic from the town
Rides by, for at the end of day
The time of workers is their own.
They jockey for position on
The strip reserved for passing only.
The drivers from production lines
Hold to advantage dearly won.
They toy with death and traffic fines.
That would be interesting insight, G, but it actually wasn't Patricia Smith who made this post. It was Kenneth Goldsmith.
Mr. Goldsmith's post was dangerous, and this discussion is very important. I stumbled on this discussion by chance, please excuse if this sounds pedantic, since I don't know you, Mr. Goldsmith.
What Mr. Goldsmith aims to point out may be about poetry, maybe the omission of Duchamp, maybe the aspiration to transcend an aesthetic form of humanism. But as poets, we have to be willing to look critically at the choices we make, the images we choose to broadcast, and the world we create with those images. The original post ondoes (in advance) what posthumanism aspires to do, making posthumanism itself (ironically) a simulacrum.
Mr. Goldsmith demonstrates two things:
1. The posthuman subject is white. First, the message about theory gets lost when its aesthetic of it is washed out with dirty water; the image of Barry as maniacal (see Toni above) and the roboticization narrative do more to, as Micheaux (above) phrases, DEhumanize Bonds than it does to POSThumanize him. These renditions of Blackness are not new or benign–they are steeped in modern discourses on race–nor are they applicable with the same degree of saliency in the American imagination to everyone, particularly not to our white brethren. We don't need details, we know the examples, and we know that a maniacal image of a white person is taken to represent an exception rather than the rule. Said differently, De-(again, not post)humanizing images like the one painted of Barry trick the careless reader into believing that we've already slipped into having this discussion from within a universalist utopia, instead of one where white is the universal, the only subject of posthumanism. In order to get to a discussion on posthumanism, we have to first survive the legacy of humanism. And to be able to imagine having already survived humanism, we have to be extremely careful about the aesthetic worlds we create as entry points. It can not be Barry Bonds.
2. Technology facilitates oppression. Let me explain. Posthumanism is a continental European philosophy of the technocratic way of looking at life, humans. It is, among other things, a strategic attempt to erase and exhonorate other flawed European taxonomies of life. To be swept by an inevitable flow from somewhere inside our humanity to a place beyond it. The strategy to erase and exonerate ideologies of oppression born out of European Enlightenment is part of the content, defining the flaw. We can not be posthuman robots transcending through technology that is itself enabled and structured by racism, sexism, homophobia, islamophobia, etc. Foucault uses the term "technology" to express how institutions enable certain ideologies of power and thus narratives of authenticity around having access to "the truth". Scientific advancement is immersed in racist (and other –ist) epistemologies. The dirty secret delight that some see in Bonds winning—is that because he is a robot or is it because we control the robot that we've made him? What other robots do "we" enjoy seeing win? Tiger woods when he's in a zone? Probably not menacing enough. And we don't "dismiss him as a fraud." The Barry Bonds phenomenon is not because of his phenomenal baseball skills alone. His performance is a total picture, a racialized picture of contemporary humanism doing what it does best—allowing a bit of biological determinism in through the window.
Man, dudes so serious. I miss Kenny.

Angela Pinccini introduces a new review feature.
Editor Mike Pitts
Is anyone there?
Who says public participation in archaeology isn't alive and well? The successful Newport ship campaign (BA October 2002) showed how much can be achieved by local initiatives, but how far should archaeological inclusivity go? Gifted psychic consultant, Diane Lloyd Hughes, 37, received attention recently when she visited the site of the Medieval vessel. 'I am just trying to piece together some of the past of the ship,' she said. 'Maybe some of my findings will help with filling in some of the details.' So what were the findings? According to Ms Lloyd Hughes an unnamed local earl had used the ship, which had connections to Bristol, for 'underhand practices' including the theft and transportation of crockery and silverware. Apparently the ship and its crew of 35 met their fate on the banks of the River Usk after being weighed down by too much illegal cargo. Ms Lloyd Hughes' informant, 'a young boy with curly blond hair scrubbing the deck of the vessel', could not be contacted for further comment.
Heritage horror
English Heritage's 'What does "Heritage" Mean to you?' MORI Poll carried out a few years ago showed the tremendous public interest in Britain's past, so why does the National Curriculum continue to pay so little regard to 'Heritage'? A survey carried out last year by Encyclopaedia Britannica described the woeful state of many Britons' knowledge of the historic environment: for example, half of those questioned thought Hadrian's Wall was built to divide the English from the Scottish and another five percent thought that the Wall was in Dorset and was intended to stop an invasion by the French. Incredibly, one in ten believed that Stonehenge was built during the reign of Queen Victoria. More recently, research carried out on behalf of Whitaker's Almanack found that 40 percent of parents dreaded appearing ignorant while helping their children with homework. With this in mind, Home Secretary Blunkett might like to consider extending his plans for citizenship tests to many people already in possession of a British passport.
Reinventing the ring
Exciting news of a newly-discovered stone circle, Na Dromannan, on the Outer Hebridean island of Lewis, came from the north last summer. It was reported that the discovery of the site, 'more than 3,000 years old – older than Stonehenge' according to one ill-informed source, was made by a team headed by Colin Richards from Manchester University. Erm, would that be the same site recorded by H Callender before WWI, and mistakenly referred to as Druirn nan Eum in a 1928 RCAHMS inventory? Or the monument mentioned in D D C Pochin Mould's 1953 travel book West-Over-Sea, and later described by G and M Ponting in The Stones around Callanish, published in 1984? Well, yes it would. None of which is the fault of the Manchester archaeologists, but it does underline the difficulty some newspaper journalists have appreciating the difference between the words 'excavation' and 'discovery'.
What do you do?
Spotted in The Guardian, October 20 2003: 'In a review of Helen Greathead's book Iguanodon, the Dinosaur with the Fat Bottom, we use [sic] the incorrect spelling, Iguanadon in the book's title. We also said such creatures are studied by archaeologists, when it is palaeontologists or geologists who take a professional interest in them (Amazing stories, children's book supplement, page 17, October 4).'
Talkin' jive
'You will only receive direct, honest answers from me, and they'll either be that I know and I'll answer you, or I don't know, or I know and I won't answer you.' The linguistic talents of Donald Rumsfeld are legendary, but has the great man met his match in David Baker, vice president of the CBA? The online text of an address 'Adjusting Vertical and Horizontal Hold—the Real Joined-Up-Ness' delivered to the conference 'Planning and the Historic Environment: Agenda for the 21st Century' held at Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education in 2002, contains a statement worthy of the US Secretary of Defense himself: 'Intelligibility as applied to users helps remind us that some understand or appreciate their piece of the historic environment more readily than others. Some don't want to know, some want to but don't know how and need help, while a minority of people do know and hopefully also know what they don't know.'

Pianist Linda Jenks of Rifle has been an animal lover as long as she can remember.
"My next-to-earliest memory of my life is of me hugging my mother and crying because a rescued baby bird died in the shoebox I provided for it," she said. "I remember saying to Father Bob, when he was still officiating here at the [Catholic] church in Rifle, 'Father Bob, it seems to me most animals are closer to a state of grace than most people I know.' I've always resonated with animals, and I've always felt drawn to their own wonderful energy."
Jenks and the Western Slope Performers will take their love of animals to the stage in the fourth annual Cat's Meow concert to raise money for the Rifle Animal Shelter. Themed "April in Paris," the concert takes place at 7 p.m. Friday in the Clough Auditorium at Colorado Mountain College in Rifle.
"The other performers are just awesome," Jenks said. "They are all concerned about fair and humane treatment for animals. And they bring special talents to the mix every year."
The fundraiser includes returning Cat's Meow concert veterans Frank Breslin, Sandy Vaccaro, Chris Sullivan, and Daryl and Noelle Gingrich. Percussionist Adam Solomon will perform, as well as the ArtIllumA Dancers and a bagpiper, juggler and mime.
"There should be a little something for everybody," she said. "We are really out to have a lot of fun and help an organization, the Friends of the Rifle Animal Shelter, that is important to the entire community."
This year, the concert features a costume contest with donated prizes from City Market, Glenwood Caverns, Starbucks and private donors. Winners will be chosen for best animal and Parisian attire.
"This is the first year we've officially offered prizes for costumes. In past years, some of our audience members have come in costume on their own volition," Jenks said. "What a super idea, and we're going to steal it. It's purely voluntary, but the prizes are pretty cool."
For more details on the Cat's Meow concert, pick up a copy of Friday's Glenwood Springs Post Independent and check the Options page.

Cincinnati, Ohio - Tiffany McLoughlin notched her second-straight singles win and Natali Jaimes tallied her second of the spring, but host Xavier scored the team victory with a 5-2 decision over the Bulldogs on Wednesday (Feb. 13).
McLoughlin, who earned her first win of the spring against Illinois State on Saturday (Feb. 9), held on for a three-set decision at No. 6 singles over Jeanette Feider, 6-4, 5-7, 1-0 (5). Jaimes, meanwhile, scored a straight-set win over Aylin Seyalioglu, 6-3, 6-1, at No. 3 singles.
The Bulldogs put up a valiant effort in doubles competition and fell just short of claiming the first point of the match. Molly Casperson and Becky Jenkins topped Tifanie Treece and Christie Pleiman at No. 2 doubles, 8-5, while Michelle Hawes and McLoughlin put up a strong fight at No. 3 before falling, 9-7, to Annie Diedalis and Jill Ducro.
Butler also received a gutsy showing at No. 1 singles by Casperson, who battled Kara Courtney through three sets. The two players tangled to a deadlock in the opening set before Courtney got the upper hand in the tie-breaker for a 7-6 (4) decision. Casperson rallied in the second set with a convincing 6-2 win, but she would fall just short of the match victory in a 6-4 third set defeat.
The Bulldogs return to action on Friday (Feb. 15) when they open Horizon League competition at Green Bay beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Could we soon see it in the UK?
HERO has unveiled five new models in India including a 250cc sports bike that weighs less and makes more power than Honda's new CBR300R.
The single-cylinder HX250R makes 31hp and comes equipped with combined ABS, a six-speed gearbox and under-seat exhaust. Kerb weight is 139kg.
That would make the HX250R 0.6hp more powerful and 25kg lighter than the CBR300R.
Although the new models are destined for the Indian market, there has been speculation Hero MotoCorp could also have plans to expand into Europe. The Indian firm holds a near 50% share in Erik Buell Racing, which recently opened premises in Holland. EBR has already announced it will be the exclusive distributor of Hero products in North America from this summer, so it may be only a matter of time before we see a similar move in Europe.
Hero MotoCorp is the largest two-wheeled manufacturer in India, producing more than six million two-wheelers annually. Last year the firm celebrated its 50 millionth unit.
The firm also unveiled a 150cc liquid-cooled turbo diesel scooter concept called the RNT, making 13.5hp and 25ft.lb of torque, and featuring a six-speed gearbox.
The Leap is a 'petrol-hybrid' scooter using a fuel-injected 125cc to make 11hp, with a top speed of 62mph.
Other new models include an 111cc scooter called the Dash.
Meanwhile the firm's Extreme commuter motorcycle has been given a refresh and an upgraded engine, now making 15.2hp and mated to a five-speed gearbox.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board announced a new privacy seal certification program called ESRB Privacy Certified. The new program offers expanded services to help companies manage their mobile app privacy practices. The program's services include helping companies achieve compliance with the recently revised Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Rule, which the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires by July 1st.
ESRB Privacy Certified offers a suite of services including individualized privacy risk assessment for all online and mobile properties; solutions for obtaining verifiable parental consent for users under age 13 (a COPPA Rule requirement); guidance on providing concise "short form" privacy disclosures to mobile users; consultation on privacy policy development; and ongoing compliance monitoring and reporting.
"Privacy protection is an imperative for companies of all sizes, especially when kids are involved. But achieving compliance with requirements like COPPA can be complicated, particularly for rapidly evolving platforms like mobile," said Dona Fraser, vice president of ESRB Privacy Certified. "By extending our services beyond website operators to include mobile app developers as well, we are helping ensure that their products provide a trustworthy environment for user interaction and information sharing."
You can learn more about the program and the new seals by visiting ESRB.org.

Yearly Mexican remittances drop for 1st time
MEXICO CITY The money sent home by Mexican migrants fell in 2008 for the first time on record, Mexico's central bank said Tuesday – part of a global trend that could worsen as emigrants from developing countries lose jobs in the global financial crisis.
Remittances, Mexico's second-largest source of foreign income after oil, plunged 3.6 percent to $25 billion in 2008 compared to $26 billion for the previous year, the central bank said.
The percentage drop is nearly twice what the government had expected for the year, and central bank official Jesus Cervantes said the decline will likely continue this year.
Experts blame a crackdown on illegal immigration that has stemmed the flow of those heading north to seek work as well as the U.S. recession, in which many Mexicans, especially construction workers, have been laid off.
It was the first time remittances have fallen year-to-year since the bank starting tracking the money 13 years ago.
Mexico is not alone: After several years of strong growth, remittance flows to developing countries around the world slowed in the third quarter of 2008. They are expected to drop even further this year in response to the global crisis, World Bank economist Dilip Ratha said Tuesday.
Global remittances that likely hit $283 billion in 2008 are expected to drop 0.9 percent in 2009, Ratha said.
"Remittances are the single strongest poverty-reduction tool that many countries have," said Robert Meins of the Inter-American Development Bank. "This could translate into a great deal of hardship for a lot of people, which I think is underappreciated."
In Mexico, reduced remittances are combining with a slide in exports to slow the economy, which the central bank Tuesday predicted will contract between 0.8 percent and 1.8 percent in 2009. Mexico sends 80 percent of its exports to the United States. The government has forecast zero growth.
"It's definitely another sign that Mexico is receiving a shock from the U.S. recession through its trade ties to it, and we expect the economy to be in recession this year," said Jimena Zuniga, an economist at Barclay's Capital in New York.
Mexico receives the largest amount of remittances in Latin America and the third largest in the world, after India and China – where remittances have only slowed, but not dropped because they have many skilled professionals working abroad who haven't been hit as hard, Ratha said.
While remittances represent less than 4 percent of GDP, their decline is being felt in towns across Mexico, where lines at Western Union counters have all but disappeared. New businesses funded by migrant money are no longer opening and construction has stopped on homes that have been built in stages as cash arrived from those working abroad.
In the first part of the decade, Mexico's recorded payments grew rapidly – from $9 billion in 2001 to $26 billion in 2007 – because of swelling migration and better reporting methods.
This year, the central bank revised remittance figures going back three years, including amounts that weren't originally counted. That raised past annual remittance calculations for 2006 and 2007.
Remittances have been falling across Latin America as the U.S. sheds jobs, slowing growth in many nations, according to the Inter-American Development Bank.
The situation is equally bleak in the former Soviet countries that depend on remittances from people working in Russia. Many of those workers are now returning home due to a lack of jobs.
Almost a quarter of Moscow's 2 million-strong army of "guest workers" has left. Anelik, one of Russia's largest money-transfer agents, reported a 30 percent decrease in remittances from Russia last fall compared to the same period in 2007.

release description
Digital EP now available on all major digital stores.
To write his album Popular, Van Hunt cut himself off from all forms of culture except Frank Lizst's "Hungarian Rhapsodies" and a morning radio show on the AM dial. He describes this experience as one of the best he's had in his lifetime. But exactly how did this experience allow Van to write music that channels the grooviness of Prince and the funk of Sly and the Family Stone? In Popular, preceded by the digital "The Popular Machine" EP, Van retains the excitement he possessed when he was first introduced to the world of music, but now he is more confident than ever.
Take, for instance, "The Lowest 1 Of My Desires," which is Van's way of making it clear that sex is not as simple as we have been told, but uses a funky guitar line and pleading vocals to make us want it more. "Character," an acoustic version of the same song from his last album On The Jungle Floor, has a simple but beautiful beat that details how in tough times true character shines through, while "Turn My TV On" fills the air with the electrifying singer's deep soul. Van says that Popular is meant to disrupt a little bit, and like any talented artists he has created a disruption that hits you just in the right place.

Damn but this cycling thing does get in your blood.
I was all set to head out Wed night for my shots and a ride when an urgent email came in and I was stuck working until after midnight. No ride
So, yesterday, I did make it out for my shots and was all set to get out for my ride and... another problem.
Stuck again (though not as badly)... no ride again
Tonight I HAVE to ride.
I just have this weird itch... I'm all wired up. I need -and I mean NEED- to get out and roll up a few miles.
I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Maybe I'll do some hills

On a bright but nippy winter day, much fun was had by Springfields' older lady members playing in a friendly fixture against Lytham Hockey Club. Current and past players joined together to re-live their finer hockey moments and revive their hidden competitive streak.
Springfields donned Text Santa hats for the occasion to help raise money for ITV's Christmas charity appeal and provide a little festive cheer to the occasion. Half time oranges were replaced by Bucks Fizz (Thanks to Lytham for this....although we think this was a secret victory ploy) and refreshments were enjoyed by all afterwards in the club house. Springfields would like to thank Gilly Shields of Lytham Hockey Club for all her hard work organising the day.
The Team, captained by Springfields stalwart Fran Loffler-Thompson hope to invite Lytham back for revenge the return leg so Springfields star striker(??) Cathy Fewson can try and score more than 4 goals and for Lindsey Tait to improve on the 15km she ran during the game. Special mentions to Lou Bamber and Louise Eastham who dusted down their hockey sticks for the occasion!
Thanks to Chris 'veterans' veteran' Hills for umpiring on the day...but we know you didn't take much persuasion.....
And finally, can you guess who is under that Springfields goalie kit?

Homeschool Concert Tonight
Tonight is the annual Homeschool Christmas Concert featuring the homeschool choir and two bands from the homeschool assistance programs. (The Marion HSAP invites students from the Cedar Rapids HSAP to participate in the bands.) The concert will be held at Franklin Middle School and will begin at 7:00 PM. A voluntary admission of $1 will be accepted. The concert is a "kid-friendly" event, and all are welcome to attend.
The choir includes 45 homeschooled students from Cedar Rapids and the surrounding area, and will be singing four Christmas pieces tonight. For this concert, I selected two very difficult, challenging pieces to stretch our abilities. The students have worked hard, though, and are prepared to offer a great concert!
This is the sixth year of our homeschool choir, a completely volunteer endeavor. The purpose of the choir is to provide homeschooled students with the opportunity to learn choral music, and the opportunity to sing for our community. Though we practice only once per week (most school choir programs practice many times per week), we do a good job meeting our goals.
If you're able to join us for the concert, I'll think you'll enjoy it!
(If you read this after the concert, and were able to attend, leave a note and let us know what you thought of it.)

The Port Huron Statement at 40 : ON THE OCCASION OF ITS ANNIVERSARY, TWO OF THE STATEMENT'S AUTHORS ASSESS ITS RELEVANCE FOR ALL THOSE TRYING TO CREATE A MORE DEMOCRATIC WORLD TODAY
Hayden, Tom, Flacks, Dick, The Nation
In the movie The Big Lebowski, the aging, stoned hippie played by Jeff Bridges announces that he helped write the Port Huron Statement. We don't remember the "dude" being there, but it's gratifying that the founding manifesto of Students for a Democratic Society still lives in the nostalgia and imagination of so many.
A glance at the web will show tens of thousands of references to "participatory democracy," the central focus of that document, which still appears as a live alternative to the top-down construction of most institutions. Participatory democracy has surfaced in the campaigns of the global justice movement, in utopian visions of telecommunications, in struggles around workplace and neighborhood empowerment, in Paulo Freire's "pedagogy of the oppressed," in grassroots environmental crusades and antipoverty programs, in political platforms from Green parties to the Zapatistas, in participatory management theory, in liberation theology's emphasis on base communities of the poor and even in the current efforts of most Catholics to carve out a participatory role for laity in their church. The Port Huron Statement appears in numerous textbooks and has been the subject of thousands of student papers. This continued interest is the more impressive, since the statement was never marketed or even reissued as a book. It was produced only as a mimeographed pamphlet in 20,000 copies, which sold for 35 cents. We were jaundiced toward the very notion of public relations.
Recent celebrants of the Port Huron Statement include authors Garry Wills and E.J. Dionne, who see in its pages a bright promise of rational reform that was later lost, when they say SDS became too radical. At the other end of the political spectrum, Robert Bork says the "authentic spirit of Sixties radicalism issued" from Port Huron in "a document of ominous mood and aspiration" because it embodied a millennial vision of human possibility. The former radical David Horowitz reads the statement as encoding a "self-conscious effort to rescue the Communist project from its Soviet fate." At different moments, both Democrats and Republicans (under Richard Nixon) have invoked the rhetoric of participatory democracy in campaigns. This perplexing spectrum of reaction reflects, we believe, the statement's attempt at a new departure from the conventional dogmas of left and liberal thought.
Did we succeed, and if so, how? This year's occasion of the Port Huron Statement's fortieth anniversary provides a chance to ask whether its importance today is primarily symbolic and nostalgic, or whether, as we believe, the core of the statement is still relevant for all those trying to create a world where each person has a voice in the decisions affecting his or her life. It remains, as we described it then, "a living document open to change with our times and experiences."
The original idea, conceived at a winter meeting in Ann Arbor in 1961, was modest: to produce an organizing tool for the movement we were trying to spread through SDS. Then the statement became more audacious. The roughly sixty young people who finalized the statement during a week at a United Auto Workers retreat in Port Huron, Michigan, experienced what one could only call an inspirational moment. As the words flowed night and day, we felt we were giving voice to a new generation of rebels.
The two of us had arrived in Port Huron from different paths that symbolized the cultural fusion that happened at the beginning of the 1960s. Tom was a Midwestern populist by nature, rebelling apolitically against the boring hypocrisy of suburban life--until the Southern black student sit-in movement showed him that a committed life was possible. Tom was drawn to the mystique of citizen action and away from left ideologies based on systems far different from America, with its vast middle-class status system. Many others at Port Huron were mainstream student leaders inspired by the civil rights movement, the South African antiapartheid movement and even the youthful ideals of John Kennedy's New Frontier. …
