STATEMENT OF INTENT
I aim to communicate across social spheres. I make multi-year, research-based, site-specific projects that circulate in contemporary art institutions as well as in urban development, critical design, and social entrepreneurship settings. Though I am often cited as a socially engaged artist, I consider myself to be a cultural producer whose interdisciplinary work facilitates social imagination at the intersection of art, urbanism, and political economy.
I create installations and social spaces for encounters with fantasies of cooperation. Police barricades become beds. Money is erased in public. A clock ticks for ninety-nine years. Public seats attach to stop sign posts. Cafe visitors use local currency. Office ceilings hold covert messages. Ten thousand students attend classes by paying teachers with barter items. Statements about arts graduates are read on museum plaques. My work is research-based and site-specific. I alter objects to call forth new norms, roles, and rules. A street corner, a community space, a museum, an office, or a school become sites for collective reimagining.
To make this shift from object to group, I concern myself with duration and political economy. When I source materials, invite joint-work, share or deny decision-making power, and shape future markets for each work, a community of practice emerges. Experience becomes a criterion of knowledge. To the conventional labels of Title, Author(s), Materials, Dimensions, Date, and Provenance, I add Duration, forms of Property, Labor, Transactions, Enterprise, and Finance. Objects become materializations of collective debate; entry points for encounters with fantasies of cooperation.
The objects I make cannot be disentangled from their economic and social lives. My Work Dress is available for barter only. My Statements increase in price according to student loan rates. Artists Report Back is made by BFAMFAPhD, a group which you could contribute to. I understand art as mode of inquiry that expands beyond exhibition and toward life cycle; from display to production, consumption, and surplus allocation. I begin each project with an invitation. I facilitate an experience. A group gathers. I share and develop leadership. The project becomes a group effort, and the objects multiply. The objects are known in the group and shown much later.

Well, you know how the old saying goes, a win is a win, right? Not exactly on this night. Not when the thought to be drastically improved first-team offense goes 0 for 4 on series that were cut short by a couple costly penalties and a few drive killing drops. The much anticipated debut of All-Pro receiver Brandon Marshall was as disappointing as they come, as the $50 million man saw two perfectly placed Chad Henne passes go in and out of his hands. You can play the blame game all day long, but the fact is, it’s going to rain this year, and the Dolphins are going to have to play on that hideous dirt in-field for at least two games, which just happen to arguably be the two most important home games of the season (Jets and Patriots).
Maybe the Dolphins need to get out of that nice little bubble of theirs, and practice in the elements a bit, because Marshall has to make those catches. Having said that, there’s no reason to lose sleep over this. There is a reason Marshall has three straight 100+ catch seasons under his belt. He’s an elite talent and is eventually going to get out of this little funk he’s been in ever since last weekends scrimmage. The interior O-line didn’t struggle nearly as bad as they have reportedly during camp. Before Vernon Carey’s holding penalty on the opening series, the running game was starting to build some momentum, as Ronnie Brown was putting together a nice little drive. Also, the offensive line as a whole kept Henne clean, outside of the hit he received on the play-action roll-out pass to Fasano.
On the bright side, the defense was pretty solid all night long. The first-team gave up a touchdown, but it took a perfectly placed Josh Freeman pass and a spectacular catch by Mike Williams to beat great coverage by Vontae Davis, which got that scoring drive going. Other than that, the pass rush was pretty solid, as Koa Misi and Cameron Wake forced Freeman out of the pocket on a couple plays, and the front seven as a whole was close to dominate for the entire first half. The first-team run defense was good, not great, but if it wasn’t for a missed tackle by Kendall Langord, they would have fared much better.
Randy Starks looked the part of a true nose guard tonight, but the performance of the night was arguably owned by Paul Soliai. Soliai recovered a fumble, and was the cornerstone for a dominate run defense during most of the second quarter. This is just me speaking, but if Soliai continues to look this good, why not move Starks back to defensive end and give the keys to Soliai at the nose? That is still a big if and purely speculation, but it appears Miami is pretty deep at the position for the time being.
The Buc’s receivers made some great plays out there tonight, but I would say the secondary as a whole had a pretty decent outing. Sean Smith bounced back nicely from being a bit out of position on Tampa’s only score of the night, with his third preseason interception in his two-year career. Chris Clemons looked sharp, Nolan Carroll showed us why everyone has been hyping him up in training camp, and Nate Ness was the player of the second-half, with two forced fumbles, and two passes broken up.
At the end of the day, the offense’s lackluster performance leaves us with a sour taste in our mouth, but anytime you escape these exhibitions with no serious injuries, things could always be worse.

Much like the bullfrog, the Golden Civet Kitten can come in two sizes, big and small. They also retain their statures even after captured.
So that's another set of pets added to my collection heh.
As for the Yellow-Bellied Bullfrog, it appears that newly captured secondaries are keeping their sizes. That would be a good thing except now I want to keep both the large and small version plus my size-changer. I guess it's not really a bad thing except that my Pet Journal will quickly fill up if there are more cases similar to the bullfrog one. And my journal will feel a little more cluttered than normal.
Although I don't usually name wild pets (there are just too many!), I felt that these needed names for quick referencing (between the big one and small one). Luckily the bullfrog and civet kitten only come in two sizes, so "senior" and "junior" fit quite well. :)

You might not know it because of the lack of media coverage, but Tuesday features another slate of presidential primaries. Five states – Connecticut, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island – cast their votes for the Republican nominee, and Mitt Romney is expected to win all five. Romney was always expected to do well in these primaries, because throughout the campaign, Romney's percentage of the non-Ron Paul vote has been predicted very well by the percentage of voters who identified themselves as white evangelical.
Connecticut and New York
Less than 20% of voters in these states (pdf) identified as evangelical in the 2008 primary. My state-based evangelical model projected Romney to garner in the neighborhood of 70% of the non-Paul vote in each state.
Polls taken in mid-March estimated Romney's Connecticut percentage of the non-Paul vote to be in the upper 50s, while polls taken just prior to Santorum dropping out of the race pegged Romney's New York support to be in the mid to high 60s.
How much better could Romney do now that Santorum is out of the race?
National polls indicate that Santorum supporters are splitting evenly between Romney and Gingrich. Ron Paul has been doing about 3-5 points better in each state compared to his performance in 2008, but he didn't really seem to pick up much support nationally once Santorum dropped out of the race.
In Connecticut, I'd project Mitt Romney to get around 59% of the vote, to Newt Gingrich at 24%, to Rick Paul at 15%, to Santorum at 2%.
In New York, I'd expect Romney to get somewhere in the neighborhood of 64% of the vote, to Gingrich at 19%, to Paul at 14%, to Santorum at 3%.
Keep in mind we have no up-to-date polling data in any of the 24 April states, and Santorum's exit might have a different impact in each state, so all the predictions that appear here are more art than science.
Newt Gingrich is making a stand in the Blue Hen state. Gingrich spokesman RC Hammond told reporters that he is "optimistic" about Tuesday's primary results. Though Delaware was a union state, its Republican electorate isn't exactly filled with blue-blood moderate voters.
About half the votes in the 2010 Senate Republican primary came from downstate Kent and Sussex Counties. These states border the southern US and vote like it. They provided the winning margin for Tea Partier Christine O'Donnell in her upset victory over moderate Mike Castle in the aforementioned primary.
A third of voters in the 2008 presidential primary (pdf) identified as evangelical, which translated into a forecasted 54% of the non-Paul vote to Romney. Sean Trende's county-based evangelical model was more pessimistic for Romney, estimating his non-Paul vote percentage to be only 46%.
Funky results can occur when low turnout is the rule. As the only non-Romney candidate on the ballot in Virginia, for example, Ron Paul managed to get 40.5% of the vote.
Speaking of Paul, he only got 4% of the vote in the 2008 Delaware presidential primary. I'd expect him to do better than last time, but still only garner in the area of 10%-15% of the vote.
Given Gingrich's efforts in the state, I'd expect this to be closer than some might expect: Mitt Romney at 49%, to Newt Gingrich at 34%, to Ron Paul at 14%, to Rick Santorum at 3%.
The Quaker state was supposed to be the marquee matchup of 24 April: Rick Santorum was going to make his last stand in his home state, but it was not meant to be. Santorum dropped out the race, which left the incredibly well-organized Mitt Romney a wide open path to Keystone victory.
The final polls out of Pennsylvania painted a tight race with Romney and Santorum within a few points of each other. You might expect Romney to win at least half of Santorum's voters, but the fact is that Santorum is likely to do well in his backyard (his name is still on the ballot, even though he's out of the race).
An American Research Group poll taken the night after Santorum dropped out had him within 3 percentage points of Romney. In 1992, recently dropped-out Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts got 27% and 30% of the vote in next-door Connecticut and New York, respectively. In 2004, Howard Dean and John Edwards actually won their home states of Vermont and North Carolina after exiting the race.
Somewhere around 36-43% of the voters in Pennsylvania are expected to be white evangelical. Thus Romney would have been forecast to receive 50% of the non-Paul vote plus or minus a few percentage points. I think that will probably hold for the most part.
Ron Paul got only 16% of the vote as the only still viable non-John McCain candidate in 2008. He should do worse this time around.
The Pennsylvania primary is likely to end up somewhere in the neighborhood of Mitt Romney at 45% to Rick Santorum at 35% to Newt Gingrich at 10% to Ron Paul at 10%.
The Ocean's state primary will be a low turnout affair. I wouldn't be entirely shocked with a total of fewer than 20,000 voters. There has not been a single poll this year, and there was no exit poll in 2008 to give us an idea of the percentage of white evangelicals that will make up the electorate.
Sean Trende's county-based evangelical model, which does not rely on exit polls, projected Mitt Romney's share of the non-Paul vote to be 49%. Romney will certainly do better than that percentage, but not as well as you might expect.
Rhode Island Republicans nearly tossed the liberal, but general election-electable, Senator Lincoln Chafee for the more conservative Steve Laffey in 2006.
Ron Paul has been doing quite well in the northern New England contests, and he has bought air time on local Rhode Island television. That said, most of Paul's success is in the rural parts of northern New England. He has never polled well in next-door Connecticut and fared poorly in Massachusetts. He won only 6.5% of the vote in the Ocean's state 2008 contest. Ryan Lizza and Josh Putnam's delegate model forecasted Paul at 16.3% with Santorum still in the race.
Newt Gingrich has not received above 9.5% in any New England primary so far. There is a question of how much of Santorum's support he can pick up. I think he can collect half of it based on the national trends, but that may be a bit high.
Given all this data, I project Rhode Islanders to cast 55% of their votes for Mitt Romney, to 23% for Newt Gingrich, to 19% for Ron Paul, to 3% for Rick Santorum.
There are 150 delegates assigned to the candidates tomorrow, plus another 72 un-pledged delegates in Pennsylvania's "loophole" primary.
I expect Mitt Romney to win all the delegates in Connecticut, Delaware and New York for a total of 134, plus another nine delegates in Rhode Island's proportional primary. Romney should eventually win most, if not all, the delegates in Pennsylvania, but there is no real relationship between tomorrow's Quaker state popular vote and delegate count.
Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul should win three or four delegates each in Rhode Island.
By the end of Tuesday's vote-counting, Romney will add to his large delegate lead and will continue to be well on his way to the nomination.

What She Wants
Summary: River decides to get what she wants
Categories: Drama, Smut Characters: Jayne, River
Chapters: 1 Completed: Yes
Word count:2105 Read:
Published: Nov 7, 2009
River was the kind of girl who took pleasure in getting what she wanted, whether she had to beg, buy, or work for it. Therein lay her problem, as what she wanted most of all was Jayne. Ever since she had turned nineteen her body had gone into overdrive to such a point where anytime she was around the mercenary, she would quickly lose her composure. She was always reduced to leaving the room before she was caught staring, entranced in a fantasy of the two of them together, bodies entwined. It was especially bad when she would watch him lift weights, and while doing so have the ability to see all of his muscles in stark definition.
Such things often sent her rushing to her bunk so that she might find some relief, even if only from her own hands. Normally it might have been something she could have continued to deal with on her own, but adding into the mixture the fantasies Jayne had about her made it impossible to ignore. She knew that despite her burning desire, she wasn't ready for full-on intercourse; nor was she interested in securing Jayne a one way trip to the airlock. But her desire would not wait for the crew to come around, so she devised an idea that might allow her to find some relief with little fear of the outcome.
She knew that as long as it was as good for him as it was going to be for her, he would have no objections. Although most would have considered Jayne a brute, she saw behind the oppressive front he used to keep people from truly seeing him. She saw the letters sent home with money, the hat from his mother he wore every chance he got, and even how he treated Inara and Kaylee like little sisters. She even knew that his earlier indiscretion was solely due to his fears that her presence would bring harm upon his family upon Serenity. Not to mention the fact that Jayne himself was a rather perfect specimen of male physique, even if his manners were sometime a bit lacking and River chalked that up to a life of constantly having to watch his own back lest someone try and double-cross him. She resolved that sooner or later he would cease to be the lone grizzly, and instead become the protective mother bear type acting much as he did before, but without the constant fear of letting people in.
Jayne was the kind of man who took pleasure in simple things - family, friends, guns, and most of all, not getting spaced. Jayne always thought of himself as the kind of man who was handy in a fight. He knew his way around all kinds of weapons, he could easily tell when a situation was going to turn into a fight, and most of all he prided himself on his ability to avoid being snuck-up on. This particular fact was what made him particularly irritable as he hoisted the bar of his weights into the air enjoying the slow burn of his muscles that took his mind off of the girl who was standing there on the balcony watching his every move.
He tried to focus and redouble his efforts, but it was especially difficult when she was so close... and he noticed her lean forward on the balcony towards him causing her skirt to ride up and expose a very shapely leg. A normal man wouldn't have been able to ignore such an enticing item, but for Jayne it was even worse as she was looking at him like a predator stares at a meal they know is soon to be theirs and although it scared him slightly, it mostly just excited him. He mind was soon flooded with thoughts that would make a dirty man's mind blush; her and him in his bunk, on the mule, in the pilot's chair, on the kitchen table… She noticed his thoughts pervade her and smiled as she thought of what was soon to come. She slowly walked out of the room, pausing to pretend to drop something and bend over to get it, sending Jayne's thoughts into overdrive. His workout finished, Jayne decided that as much as he would rather head to his bunk and satisfy his carnal desires that he needed a shower more, and besides, he could always kill two birds with one stone.
Perhaps it was the sound of the water that helped to muffle her footsteps; perhaps it was Jayne scrubbing himself so forcefully as if attempting to clean the dirt from his mind as well as his body. Whatever the reason she was unheard as she entered and slipped off her dress leaving it to be pooled near the door. Silent as a panther hunting she slowly strode towards him keeping her eyes firmly fixed upon Jayne as she strode ever closer to him. She knew she would have to time her actions perfectly, but luckily for her Jayne was very distracted as in one fluid action she pinned him against the wall, pressed her already slightly hard nipples against his back, and leaned up to whisper in his ear. "Hello Jayne."
He froze in fear as he knew that she could easily kill him from this position even if she was… naked?
"A demon lurks beneath his skin.
Although he looks so innocent.
His purpose is malevolent
to foster sin his sole intent."
"What are you goin' on about?"
She began rubbing the side of her cheek to the back of his neck, causing him to involuntarily shudder slightly, as tingles began to creep over his skin. While it was true that he had fantasized about her on more than one occasion, and with increasing regularity, he was also principled enough to know that he would never take any action that might upset her or cause either of them problems. His current predicament however was not like any situation he had dealt with before. While he couldn't see her fully due to the way she had him pinned, he could tell that she was warm, naked, and… hungry? The kind of hungry that only came from needing something so badly for so long you'd feel you might die if you didn't get it; like a man in the desert who could look at water but never have any.
"The girl knows what is within his mind"
"Gorramit, since when has thinkin' been a crime?"
"The only crime has been not letting her participate."
"I ain't ever taken advantage of a woman."
"In Nature it has always been this way
The predator will end up as the prey"
"I don't understand"
"She plans to take advantage of him..."
"Yeah, well… what if I scream for help?"
"Yes… call for help in such a compromising position. As much as the girl would try and ensure his safety, even I would not be able to keep them from punishing you."
"Yeah, well… what is it exactly you plannin' on doin' anyway?"
Instead of answering him immediately, she extended one of her hands and cupped his manhood slowly so that she could begin stroking it. She heard a small gasp escape her lips as she knew Jayne was larger than normal, but wasn't prepared for feeling its full glory in her hands. She quickly regained her composure and leaned up to whisper: "Nothing you will dislike."
Jayne began to pant as she continued her movements and she heard a small groan escape his lips.
She looked up at him and spoke with a sultry tone. "I want you to tell me what you were thinking about while you were lifting weights" She already knew the answer, but wanted to hear it from his lips.
"I was thinkin' about our next job…"
"Liar… tell me the truth and you will be rewarded" To ensure her point was taken she nipped at his earlobe, causing him to groan more.
He appeared to huff in frustration for a minute but then finally relented. "I was thinking about you and how much I been wantin' to touch you ..."
She began pressing feather-light kisses to his neck and started to use her other hand to begin carefully fondling the lower parts of his manhood and on down until she found ways to make him gasp in pleasure. River could not help but allow a small moan to escape her lips and it did not seem lost upon Jayne that perhaps while teasing him, it had actually caused her to become excited as well. He was able to confirm his suspicions fully when she temporarily withdrew one of her hands to allow for her fingers to penetrate herself so that not only could he hear the sounds of her wet flesh but also covered her hand in her juices which she could use as lubrication when she began to once again stroke his rigid flesh.
"She wants him to understand that he is the one that makes her feel this way. He is the one who is covered in the juices he inspires in her." To accentuate her point she began to grind herself into him, causing her to begin moaning in earnest. This caused him to become even harder under her touch and she could tell that he was close to his release, so she slowed her movements slightly as she whispered. "She has but one request before she allows him his fulfillment. The Jayne-man must say her name."
Her posture and vocal tone clearly told Jayne that should he not comply with her request that she would leave him unfinished and unfulfilled. He knew exactly what saying her name aloud would be admitting to, but at this point he was too far gone to ever go back to the way things were. So he sucked in some saliva, trying to wet his dry throat as he rasped out… "River."
She quickly began increasing the pressure and speed she was using as well as the force with which she was rubbing herself against him, each of them desperate for a release.
"Ohh… River, yes…" The way Jayne said those words was not as merely a friendly hello, or even the way with which someone would speak to a friend, instead his tone was evocative of a lover being given everything in the world he ever dreamed of, and it excited her to no end.
"Jayne Jayne--!" She babbled his name, no longer able to focus on anything at this point beyond their end, and she could feel her orgasm pulsing through her as Jayne finally could stand it no longer and released himself with a primal groan that sent her over the edge and into nothingness. She rested against him slightly as the final few spurts of his release issued forth and pressed a hand to his back before retreating from the shower, leaving him breathless with only the strength to stand there and keep himself from falling over in exhaustion.
"As soon as he allows the girl to keep him she will be his forever."
Her words, almost whispered, yet with a quiet strength about him permeated his mind as he stood there, water still cascading over his body. He turned off the shower as he heard her footsteps recede into the distance and realized that no matter the consequences he might be threatened with, he wanted her more than anything.
River smiled to herself as an image pervaded Jayne's mind, not one of lust or sex but instead him holding her protectively and although there were no words included she could clearly feel the message emanating from every fiber of his body.

Extra resources for Amy Tan (Bloom's Modern Critical Views)
She creates her own narrative by seeming to affirm popular American assumptions in the formula of the popular novel and then undermining that very narrative in a complex political allegory that questions the basic American (indeed Western) concepts of truth and rationality. In keeping with this subtly deceptive plan, The Kitchen God’s Wife seems at first like a lively but somewhat clichéd popular novel, a modern pseudofeminist retelling of the folklore story of the abused wife (patient Griselda in the West, the kitchen god’s wife in the East) who wins her husband’s love by passing all his tests or his remorse by her generosity of spirit.
Switching from English to Chinese can express rejection and anger, as when June’s mother berates her for not trying hard enough at her piano playing: “‘So ungrateful,’ I heard her mutter in Chinese. ‘If she had as much talent as she has temper, she would be famous now’” (p. 136). Or, the switching of codes may initiate a shift into a different register of intimacy, as when the same mother speaks in Chinese when making her daughter a gift of a jade pendant (p. 208). To express her resentment against an American husband who persistently puts English words in her mouth, Ying-Ying uses Chinese exclusively with her daughter (p.
These were words I have never thought about in English terms. I suppose the closest in meaning would be ‘confused’ and ‘dark fog’” (p. 188). In discussing the use of “multilanguedness” in women’s writings, Patricia Yaeger suggests that the “incorporation of a second language can function Daughter-Text/Mother-Text 25 . . as a subversive gesture representing an alternative form of speech which can both disrupt the repressions of authoritative discourse and still welcome or shelter themes that have not yet found a voice in the .

Business students represent an incredible untapped resource to bring about real change. We often hear accusations that management education is training future leaders to be the exact opposite of what we need to build a more sustainable society. This is not necessarily the case.
The challenge is that the majority of business students although increasingly aware of sustainability issues in general, are not aware of how sustainability will affect their future jobs and businesses. At the same time, while business schools are keen to bring sustainability and responsible leadership into the curriculum, they are not always sure how to do so. So how do we mainstream sustainability into business education in a way that is meaningful and effective? How do we develop the next generation of globally responsible leaders?
A few weeks ago I had the chance to meet up with the team at the UN Global Compact and Principles for Responsible Management Education Secretariat in New York. We discussed the challenges that educational institutions face when putting the Principles into practice. We discussed how there are, on one hand, many universities around the world testing out some really interesting and innovative ideas that others could learn from and, on the other hand, many others that are interested in these issues but are not sure where to start. We wanted to create an interactive space to gather, share, and discuss these issues, and PRiMEtime was born.
PRiMEtime brings together and shares best practices on how to mainstream sustainability and responsible leadership into management education globally. The blog will serve as a platform to share and discuss inspirational activities that promote the development of responsible leaders. The blog will feature examples from around the world and will include both success stories and lessons learned. Posts will cover a wide variety of activities, ranging from efforts to embed sustainability and responsible leadership into curricula, student led initiatives, and the outcomes of partnerships with business, NGOs and other schools.
I will be writing this blog and am always on the lookout for good examples to feature. For more information visit http://primetime.unprme.org/

I'm here today to highlight the wonderful documentary Salad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, DC (1980-1990) which is coming out this week on DVD and Blu-Ray via MVD Entertainment Group. In the next week or so I'm going to be posting a few things about the film and the DVD and offering 2 copies of the DVD as giveaways. More details on that giveaway below. But first, my interview with the very gracious director of Salad Days: A Decade of Punk in Washington, DC (1980-1990), Scott Crawford.
Void in a still used in the film...
Glenn, kenixfan: Salad Days manages to condense pretty much what many would say is the most important era in D.C. hardcore history into something that makes a tight, concise documentary. Did you ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of material you had in front of you?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: Yes, at times it felt totally overwhelming. But I knew the story I wanted to tell, so it was really just a matter of focusing on the main points and weeding out the geeky details that I have a habit of obsessing over. Doing that easily took 6 months -- because, well, I'm a geek.
Gray Matter playing a 1985 set on the rooftop of D.C.'s legendary Food for Thought...
Glenn, kenixfan: I started working in record stores in 1987 and one of the things I reflected on while watching Salad Days is that the inescapable Dischord behemoth in D.C. that I was a bit reluctant to fully embrace back then was largely a label and scene that had been shaped by Revolution Summer; what I thought of as "D.C. hardcore" was that post-Revolution Summer version. Salad Days makes things seem gleefully anarchic pre-Revolution Summer and a bit more focused afterwards. Can you speak a bit on how you look back now on the pre- and post-Revolution Summer vibe of D.C. hardcore?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: I can understand why you or anyone else might've been a bit hesitant to fully embrace something that at times may have felt a little exclusionary. Everybody has their own take on that and I wanted to show that in the film. However, I do recall feeling that at a lot of the “Revolution Summer”-type shows you knew you weren't going to have to contend with a lot of knuckleheads. They just weren't tolerated. At shows previous to that, things could get out of hand at times between the audience and occasionally, with the neighborhood residents as well.
Glenn, kenixfan: Salad Days is a labor of love and the results show that. When you watch the film now, do you see anything missing? Looking back on the making of this film, is there anything you'd do differently if you had to do it all over again? What are the lessons learned from the making of Salad Days?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: Oh sure. It's hard to watch it and not want to change little things. But for the most part I'm pretty pleased with it. I would've liked to included a few more voices that just weren't available for whatever reason. The lack of strong live footage for the early part of the decade was also challenging, but it's also a reflection of the technology of the time.
Glenn, kenixfan: What seemed monolithic at the time, seems more multifaceted and diverse now. Salad Days may concern itself primarily with D.C. hardcore, especially Dischord bands, but within that, there was a lot of variety, as the film shows. Did you feel the need as a fan to highlight certain bands, or draw attention to others that may have been neglected in the wake of the success of Fugazi, for example?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: I wanted to show a broad range of people and music, but it's hard to not have you favorites as well. There was so much powerful music that came out of that decade. Having said that, I wish I would've had more No Trend material to work with. I always liked them and Jeff No Trend's no bullshit approach was always kind of refreshing.
Glenn, kenixfan: In one of the deleted interview clips, Nicole Thomas of Fire Party makes a point about how people in that era were simultaneously moving among different circles and things weren't entirely as monolithic as they may have seemed to some of us. So what were you listening to back then that *wasn't* part of D.C. hardcore, or a Dischord act?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: I remember liking a lot of the SST stuff (Husker Du, Minutemen, Descendents, etc.) at the time. Bands like Naked Raygun, Big Black, Articles of Faith, Big Boys, Replacements, Squirrel Bait were in heavy rotation in the mid-80s. I was exposed to a lot just being a pest at the local record stores and hearing what they were into. I discovered a lot of the Brit-stuff that was happening by hanging out at Y&T [Skipp Groff's legendary Yesterday and Today record store in Rockville, Maryland] and listening to bands like Chameleons UK, Felt, The Mission, etc.
Brian Baker of Minor Threat, Bad Religion, and loads of other bands...
Glenn, kenixfan: Brian "Later, Nerds" Baker seems to be the antihero of Salad Days, articulating some points of view that gently puncture the Dischord mythos. And I can recall "back in the day" a certain cynical line of thinking that said, "If Fugazi are so good, why don't they sign to a major label?" But, when watching Salad Days, one doesn't get the sense that that was ever the point for Ian MacKaye. The film is really about celebrating people in a scene doing things their way, whether it was under the Straight Edge banner or not. Looking back now, how does that major label/indie label schism seem to you? The inclusion of other local labels like Teenbeat and Simple Machines in the film adds to the idea that D.C. hardcore is really about DIY more than it is about hardcore punk, on some level.
SCOTT CRAWFORD: Absolutely -- this was a town without any infrastructure when it comes to putting out music or booking your own shows. It wasn't just the punk scene that had to contend with it -- that's why the go-go part of the film was so important. I wanted to show that these 2 organic scenes both grew from a DIY approach.
Ian MacKaye of Minor Threat, Embrace, Fugazi, and Dischord Records...
Glenn, kenixfan: When we were watching the film at the premiere, my wife leaned over and whispered what I was thinking: how did you manage to get your parents to let you go to punk shows when you were only 12 or so? How did your family then feel about your "hobby"?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: My parents had split up and I think my mother gave me a pretty long leash because she knew I was really struggling to find my place. Many of the people in the film would give me rides to shows back then and would always let my mother know that they'd look after me. I think that helped tremendously. When I asked her this same question while doing the film, she said she'd never seen me so enthusiastic about anything before, and didn't want to deny me the thrill of any of it. Thanks Mom.
Glenn, kenixfan: Is there any story untold, one band not mentioned that should have been in Salad Days if you had to do it again?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: Lots of stories that weren't told (simply due to the 100-minute limit I put on myself). I would've liked to have had a bit more of the non-Discord bands perhaps.
Glenn, kenixfan: Can you tell me a bit about the process of selecting the tracks for the film and the miraculous job done by Archie Moore (Velocity Girl, Black Tambourine) in mixing the whole thing?
SCOTT CRAWFORD: I'd had this soundtrack running in my head for 30 years so I'd known which songs I’d wanted from the very beginning. Archie is brilliant, creative, patient and passionate -- working with him was a real highlight of making the film.
Glenn, kenixfan: I just wanted to say thanks again for letting me help out in a tiny way at the premiere back in December and thank you so much for taking the time to do this interview.
SCOTT CRAWFORD: Oh thank YOU!

Signing a 15-year lease at a 3,678 sq ft unit, the new coffee shop will open on the scheme’s first floor close to Burger King, Lush, and Beaverbrooks.
The Basingstoke scheme has signed 25 new leases and renewals since the start of 2022, with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Wenzel’s, and Kushti Comics joining the shopping centre in the first half of 2023. Festival Place has also welcomed Community Food Link, a local charity designed to give food to those in need.
Simon Barrett, managing director and head of asset management at AEW, which acquired the scheme in 2015, said: “The arrival of Black Sheep Coffee at Festival Place is a great endorsement of the evolution that has taken place at the centre under AEW’s leadership. It reinforces Festival Place’s strategic leasing policy, which aims to increase the food and beverage provision to complement the traditional retail offer and position the centre as an all-day destination.”
Joint agents for Festival Place are Lunson Mitchenall and Cushman & Wakefield, while CBRE is the scheme’s managing agent.


About the Montana STEP Grant
The Montana STEP Grant is funded through an award from the U.S. Small Business Administration's (SBA) State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) with a match by the Montana Department of Commerce.
Most of the 50 states and U.S. territories were awarded grant funds in varying amounts. Each one, like Montana, developed their own program to best suit the needs of their small businesses. Montana's program focuses almost exclusively on getting dollars into the hands of current and potential exporters to help them mitigate risk by taking advantage of U.S. Commercial Service trade contact and research services, to procure the marketing materials necessary to succeed in countries that speak a different language, and by giving them access through trade shows and events to introduce their products and services to new markets.


Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. hasn’t produced a vehicle this year, but CEO Bryan Hansel remains excited about the company’s future.
Smith halted production of its commercial electric vehicles at the end of 2013 because of a tight cash-flow situation, according to a filing by the federal Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board.
Yet Hansel said the Kansas City-based electric vehicle company is working to cut costs, expand its market and could be producing hundreds, if not thousands, of vehicles and as soon as the summer.
“This is a business that is ready to take the next step. I think our customers are ready for it, and certainly I think the market is,” he said. “We’ve seen an unbelievable amount of international demand for our technology, and so we’ve evolved our business model to encompass that and really facilitate new relationships globally to further broaden the delivery of our technology.”
John Gartner, a research director for smart transportation with Navigant Research, said that assessment of the commercial electric vehicle industry is optimistic but not inaccurate. Right now, there isn’t a tremendous demand for electric light trucks and vans, but he expects that to change as battery technology improves and emerging markets such as China demand more low-emission vehicles.
Gartner estimated that total global demand for light-duty electric trucks this year will not exceed 3,000 vehicles. However, he said the market will continue to grow through the rest of the decade as technology improves and the cost of production falls.
That’s the hope at Smith Electric. Hansel said the company has produced more than 800 vehicles, though at a loss.
The company received a $32 million federal grant in April 2010 to place 501 vehicles in service. To date, it has placed 439 vehicles. Hansel said the company received portions of the grant as it placed the vehicles.
He said Smith now is having components manufactured in Asia rather than Europe to cut costs. If the company is able to ramp up production, higher volumes also will cut costs.
Gartner said Smith is in a good spot, in that demand should increase. But the equation could change if larger automakers decide to enter the market.
“(In) the overall light-duty market for plug-in vehicles, we’re sort of beyond the question of ‘if’ and focusing on ‘when’ and ‘how quickly.’ There’s established demand that’s only going to increase over time,” Gartner said. “It’s just a matter of how quickly things ramp up (and) how quickly battery production can lower the costs to increase the market opportunity in the short term.”
Navigant Research is part of Chicago expert services firm Navigant Consulting Inc.

8:37 am: AMD and Xilinx fall on weak revenue guidance
Shares of AMD and Xilinx are both down as weak revenue forecast from the two chipmakers overshadow better-than-expected earnings. AMD slid more than 4%, noting it expects first-quarter revenue to come in around $1.8 billion. That’s slightly below a Refinitiv estimate of $1.86 billion. Xilinx, meanwhile, dropped 8.1% after the company issued a sales forecast ranging from $750 million to $780 million. That’s well below a Refinitiv estimate of $825 million. Xilinx said it sees slowdown in “both 5G and wired infrastructure deployment.” —Imbert
8:28 am: Dow heads for 170-point gain after Apple crushes earnings
Stock futures are pointing to another day of strong gains after Apple’s quarterly results easily topped analyst expectations. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures are up more than 140 points, indicating a gain of 174 points at the open. A swift turnaround in Boeing shares is also boosting the Dow. Worries over the coronavirus appear to have been set aside as investors turn their attention to the latest Federal Reserve decision on monetary policy. Though the Fed is expected to keep rates unchanged, Wall Street will look for clues about future policy direction. —Imbert
Shares of stocks that have been hit recently by fears about the spreading coronavirus in China continued to bounce back on Wednesday. Las Vegas Sands and MGM Resorts International, which operate casinos in Macau, rose 1.8% and 2%, respectively, in premarket trading. Cruise line stocks also recovered some of their losses, with Norwegian Cruise Line up 1.5% and Royal Caribbean jumping 3%. –Fitzgerald
8:18 am: Apple jumps on strong earnings
Shares of Apple are up nearly 2% in premarket trading, on track to open above about a $1 above its record of $323.33 per share, after crushing analysts’ expectations for its quarterly earnings on Tuesday. The Tim Cook-led technology company reported revenue and profit significantly higher than what Wall Street expected. Apple’s earnings were partially powered by iPhone revenue, which was up 8% on the strength of new iPhone models to $55.96 billion. Apple’s wearables business, which includes Airpods and Apple Watches, also drove one of the one of the biggest quarterly profits in history, analysts said. The company also acknowledged the uncertainty around the impact of the deadly coronavirus in China saying it was taking steps to reduce the impact and setting a wider guidance range. Shares of Apple have rallied more than 100% in the past 12 months. –Fitzgerald

Scientists working at this Research Center have provided solutions to agricultural problems specific to the Arkansas Valley and have contributed to solutions for area-wide or multi-state problems. Research has developed information on the adaptation of crops and varieties to the soil and climate of the Valley, introduced new superior varieties, improved cultural practices and set guidelines for the management of pests, soil fertility and water.
Some of the contributions to the agricultural industry of the Arkansas Valley include:
- Development of the first rust resistant cantaloupe, which, in fact saved the cantaloupe industry of the Valley at the turn of the Century.
- Introduction and development of semi-Dormant alfalfa varieties which resulted in substantially increased acreage in the Valley because these varieties could take full advantage of the growing season here when compared to the highly dormant northern varieties and yet survive our winters when compared to the non-hardy southern varieties.
- Determining the content of Valley soils and the effect on crop production, particularly alfalfa seed and beet sugar purity.
- Breeding and release of the sweet Spanish onion variety, Colorado 6, in 1936, which after sixty years, is still a significant factor in the onion producing areas of the Valley.
- Setting guidelines for fertilizer recommendations and application practices for alfalfa, corn, sugar beets and onions.
- Developing management practices for foliage and root diseases and storage decay in onions.
- Seeding rates and raw spacing determinations for corn, sorghum and onions which improved production efficiency and yields.
- Weed management practices for alfalfa, corn, sorghum, onions and melons along with soil incorporation methods for use with herbicides in this semi-arid region when it was discovered practices for applying these herbicides in high rainfall regions were not successful here.
- Guidelines for the management of alfalfa weevil on alfalfa, Banks grass mite on corn, greenbug on sorghum and thrips on onions.
- Frequent early season irrigations result in a shallow corn root system. Withholding water, after filling the profile, will force root growth through the whole profile. This has resulted in a 25 bushel yield increase when water shortages occur late in the season.
- Conservation tillage techniques for corn resulted in corn yields remaining stable after six continuous years while reducing labor and energy costs. Alfalfa ground prepared for corn planting with reduced tillage (disc) or moldboard plow resulted in comparable corn yields. Reduced tillage results in greater return to the producer due to lower costs.
- The use of transplants, plastic mulch, drip irrigation and combinations thereof results in earlier harvest, substantial yield increase, quality enhancement and an aid to weed management for a number of vegetable crops.
- Variety trials throughout the years have provided growers with timely information on the inherent genetic ability of the numerous commercial varieties to produce under the climatic, soil, pest and water conditions of the Valley. There are almost no commercial breeding and seed production facilities in the area and these trials allow growers to determine which of the many varieties produced in other areas may perform well in the Valley

Today we welcome Abram Van Engen to the Anxious Bench. Abram is Associate Professor of English and holds a courtesy appointment in the John C.

He is the author of the recently published and critically acclaimed City on a Hill: A History of American Exceptionalism.
On June 1, President Trump cleared peaceful protestors with tear gas and rubber bullets in order to pose with a bible by a church. This act spoke directly to his base, which includes a large number of white evangelical Christians, and it validated false Christian histories of America that many of them accept. For too many people today, America can be great only if it is Christian, and it can be Christian only if it was founded by evangelical figures on the basis of biblical principles.
This view of a biblical nation is widespread and seems to be rising, partly in reaction to protests and undertakings like The 1619 Project. Not long before Donald Trump’s awkward pose, for example, the prominent evangelical Os Guinness gave a lecture stereotyping the American Revolution as “biblical” and the French Revolution as secular. Such an account cannot make sense of the actual actors and factors that went into each, as John Fea—a Christian historian—explains. But Os Guinness is only a part-time partaker in these mythic histories. David Barton is the most full-time falsifier of the American founding, but Eric Metaxas remains the most popular. According to Metaxas, for example, John Adams was “a committed and theologically orthodox Christian,” though in reality Adams denied the Trinity and the deity of Christ.
The histories of America posited by Metaxas and others like him contain a multitude of errors, as plenty of historians have pointed out. But where the historical problems are obvious, the theological dangers in their methods can often be harder to spot. So let me identify three.
First, these histories of America represent a failure of love. For far too long, accounts of the American founding touted by too many white evangelicals have tended to erase, ignore, or downplay slavery, injustice, and oppression. As a result, the story of racial minorities in America—including faithful non-white Christians, many of whom are keeping Christianity alive in America—get written out of our nation’s past. It is hard to love others while refusing to listen to them, and Christian nationalist histories are, in large measure, a refusal to listen—an unwillingness to reckon with the hard truths that haunt the past and present of so many in America today. When Os Guinness calls the American Constitution “biblical,” for example, he fails to acknowledge that the Constitution officially recognized the legality of slavery and ensured its survival for another seven decades.
American history is not a tale only of failure and oppression and abuse; but it is also not a tale only of freedom, achievement, and success. Only when we begin to see the multiplicity and complexity of history can we begin to understand how God moves in it and through it, and how we, in the present, can and should respond—righting wrongs and attempting to shine a light in dark places. The gospel depends not on the power of the government or our ability to claim political influence at any cost. It depends on the grace of God, which calls on the church to act as the Body of Christ. And a church divided by false histories of our country cannot be the force of healing this world needs.
Second, the histories that undergird Christian nationalism position the United States as the savior of the world. On this telling, government institutions and political parties are more significant actors than the church. Taking political power or retaining it becomes the highest priority. Politicians become the guardians of the gospel. The president violently disperses peaceful protestors to wield a bible above his head.
This replacement of the church with the nation has a long history. Its favorite expression is the idea of America as a “city on a hill,” a biblical phrase (Matthew 5:14) that referred almost exclusively to the church throughout most of American history—until, during the Cold War, scholars like Perry Miller and politicians like Ronald Reagan coopted it for the country.
If “city on a hill” is the latest version of this idolatry, its purest form comes in a 1909 sermon by the social gospel minister Washington Gladden. Preaching to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, Gladden explained that God’s promises “are made to the nation and not to the church.” Identifying the United States as the New Israel, he claimed that the truest evangelists were American politicians. “There have been great preachers of the gospel, great missionaries of the cross,” he preached, “but few, I believe, who have presented the principles of our religion to the non-Christian world more convincingly than William McKinley and John Hay and John W. Foster and Theodore Roosevelt and Elihu Root and William H. Taft.” Whenever the nation becomes blended as one with the church, politicians become the priests of God’s kingdom. Those who believe in Christian nationalism seem to think that the gospel hinges on the government.
Finally, beyond a lack of love and a dangerous idolatry, Christian nationalists ultimately undercut their own faith by failing to trust in the sovereignty of God. Essentially, their histories of America tell God how he should have acted, rather than examining how he did. David Barton and Eric Metaxas seem to think that evangelicals should have founded the United States. And so, in their telling, they did, regardless of historical records. Their histories, in other words, treat God as an incapable sovereign. Since God couldn’t be trusted to get things right, Barton and Metaxas will take matters into their own hands, rewriting history to mop up God’s mistakes. Theirs is a clean version of the American founding, unblemished by all that still marks and mars society today.
There are plenty of good historians at work today, including many Christians historians, and what they have in common is a desire to know God and God’s world better by trying to understand what has actually occurred and why. The Conference on Faith and History does not have a popular following (like Metaxas), but it nonetheless gathers faithful Christians, many of whom study the nation. None of these scholars feel their faith threatened by facts. All of them feel compelled to follow historical records where they lead.
The dangers of Christian nationalism for both Christianity and the nation mount with each rewriting of the American past. If Christians are to be committed to both truth and love, then we must commit to as true and full a history of the nation as we can tell, loving our fellow citizens, refusing to worship a false image of the nation, and trusting, finally, in a sovereign God.


Winchester Ammunition announced a new defensive ammo called the Hybrid-X. The Winchester Hybrid-X ammo merges multiple bullet technologies to provide rapid incapacitation of a violent attacker.
But, is the new design an improved manstopper or just a gimmick? Although the ammo has a long way to go to prove itself, I think the line has some merit. Let’s take a look at what it is, where it may have drawn some inspiration and what it actually does in a testing medium.
The new bullet design combines a polymer tip, a copper jacket and a segmenting lead core. As the bullet strikes the target the core is designed to break into smaller projectiles and, according to Winchester, “deliver massive energy transfer.”
Looking at the illustrations of the bullet, it would appear that the polymer tip makes up the majority of the rounded cone on the leading end. The segmenting core appears to have something akin to a wadcutter profile.
Initially, the new ammo will be offered only in 9mm. However, the company is likely to expand the line based on consumer feedback and request. The 9mm load uses a 124 grain bullet and is loaded to +P pressures. At the muzzle, the bullet’s measured velocity is 1,225 fps. Although the design is uncommon, the bullet’s weight and velocity are in line with other conventional loads.
Quik-Shok: Inspiration from the past?
Rounds like the Hybrid-X have been made in the past. For example, legendary defensive bullet designer Tom Burczynski designed a projectile called the Quik-Shok. This bullet technology was licensed by the defunct Triton ammunition company that sold the rounds in a wide variety of calibers.
According to an article written by Burczynski in the book Street Stoppers, the Quik-Shok bullet fragmented into three parts upon impact. Compared to typical fragmenting self-defense loads of the time, the Quik-Shok round delivered deeper penetration (about 10″.) Burczynski wrote he designed the load “primarily for law enforcement use in hostage situations or special situations where extremely rapid incapacitation is paramount.”
The Winchester Hybrid-X appears to be a different animal, though the concept is appears to be similar to that of the Quik-Shok. It is likely the company engineered this round to penetrate to the arbitrary 12″ minimum depth of the FBI testing protocols. If so, this load may offer a significant alternative to both citizens and law enforcement agencies deciding on what to carry.
Recently, Rob Pincus became the first person outside of Winchester Ammunition to test the Hybrid-X ammo. Pincus is the director of the Personal Defense Network and a firearms trainer.
According to Pincus, the Hybrid-X ammunition “ran flawlessly” in multiple compact and full-size self-defense handguns. Pincus also said that accuracy with the round was “solid.”
Pincus shot a number of these new rounds into Clear Ballistics testing medium. Clear Ballistics makes a synthetic alternative to ballistics gelatin that is used for FBI testing. While it is not identical to the “official” testing medium, it does offer an early look at potential performance.
All shots into the Clear Ballistics blocks were made at 12′ and with two layers of cotton clothing over the facing side of the block.
From the photos Pincus provided me, it appears the 9mm load penetrated to about 7-8″ before it broke into its designed shards. These pieces continued to penetrate deeper into the block. It appears in the photo above that two of the pieces penetrated to about 12″ and a third went to about 13″.
I’m still a fan of the modern bonded hollowpoint,” said Pincus. “Rounds like the Defender round or the from Winchester;s Train & Defend line are my primary choice for self defense. However, the Hybrid-X is an impressive option for a non-traditional approach. The design offers the feeding characteristics of a ball round but with far greater wounding capacity.
Pincus said that a video of his testing will be posted at the Personal Defense Network in the near future.
Last Update: October 23, 2022
I’ve always liked the idea of this kind of bullet. None of the segmented bullet designs to date, however, have ever managed to convince me to move away from traditional hollowpoint designs.
The testing information and photos provided by Pincus are suggestive that Winchester Ammunition has a product that offers better performance than older fragmenting bullet designs. Additional testing through barriers and with traditional ballistics gelatin will likely be instructive on how far the company has moved the design forward.
I look forward to seeing testing of this ammunition, and expect Winchester will have demos run at the 2018 SHOT Show.
Note: This article has been updated to include first hand testing information from Rob Pincus. Thanks to Pincus for giving me permission to use his photos in this article.
