NYAPRS Note: New York State has transferred oversight of the state's protection and advocacy program for people with disabilities from the government body Commission on Quality Care for People with Disabilities to Disability Rights New York (DRNY), a new nonprofit created by Disability Advocates Inc. DAI's application was backed by a broad array of advocacy groups, including NYAPRS, and has long been a champion for the rights of new Yorkers with disabilities.
We thank the Cuomo Administration for their wise selection of DAI and look forward to their strong leadership of the P&A program.
We also extend our appreciation to disability advocates like ADAPT for their extra efforts in this matter.
A public hearing on the proposed redesignation will be held on April 9, 2013, at 1:00 p.m., Empire State Plaza, Meeting Rooms 3 and 4, Albany, New York.
Federal law requires that a state or territory that establishes programs under the Developmental Disabilities Act (DD Act) must have in place a system to protect and advocate for the civil, human, and legal rights of people with disabilities, 42 U.S.C. § 15041 et. seq. (P&A). Similarly, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 mandates that a state must establish a client assistance program to assist individuals who apply for or receive vocational rehabilitation or independent living services under the act, 29 U.S.C. § 732 (CAP).
The designation may be removed (re-designated) only for good cause. Within 30 days after the redesignation becomes effective, the Governor must submit an assurance that the newly designated Protection and Advocacy agency meets the requirements of the statute and the regulations.
The Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities ("CQCAPD"), a state agency established under Article 45 of the Mental Hygiene Law, is designated as both the protection and advocacy system and client assistance program. CQCAPD is located at 401 State Street, Schenectady, New York 12305.
As the P&A system, CQCAPD provides advocacy to residents of New York State who have a physical or mental condition that substantially limits at least one major life activity and who fall within the agency's priorities and case selection criteria as determined through the priority setting process each year. CQCAPD serves individuals with a wide range of disabilities – including, but not limited to, those with cognitive, mental, sensory, and physical disabilities – by protecting against abuse and neglect; advocating for civil rights; and ensuring accountability in access to and the delivery of services to persons with disabilities in health care, education, employment, housing and transportation, and within the juvenile and criminal justice systems. CQCAPD maintains a presence in facilities that provide care for and services to people with disabilities, where they monitor, investigate and attempt to remedy adverse conditions.
As the CAP, CQCAPD provides advocacy to people who are applying for or receiving vocational rehabilitation services or services from an independent living center, as well as providing information on rights under Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
In addition to the Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Developmental Disabilities (PADD) program and the CAP, CQCAPD operates federally-funded P&A programs under the Protection and Advocacy for Individuals with Mental Illness Act, 42 U.S.C. §10801 (PAIMI); the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. § 794e (PAIR); the Ticket to Work Act for beneficiaries of Social Security disability, 42 U.S.C. § 1320b-21 (PABSS); the Assistive Technology Act of 1998, 29 U.S.C. § 3004 (PAAT); the Help America Vote Act of 2002, 42 U.S.C. § 15461 (PAVA); and the Traumatic Brain Injury Act of 2008, 42 U.S.C. § 300d-53 (PATBI).
More detailed information can be found at http://cqc.ny.gov/advocacy/protection-advocacy-programs.
The Governor has determined that it is in the interest of New Yorkers with disabilities to redesignate the P&A and CAP. This designation is consistent with the provisions of the Protection of People with Special Needs Act (Ch. 501, 2012), which requires the Governor to designate an independent public or private agency to conduct and coordinate the P&A/CAP.
The Governor intends to designate a not-for-profit corporation, Disability Advocates, Inc. (DAI), as the P&A and CAP, effective June 1, 2013. DAI has been properly established as a not-for-profit corporation under the laws of this state, has obtained the approval of the federal Internal Revenue Service to operate as a tax exempt charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and is registered as a charitable corporation with the Office of the Attorney General of the State of New York.
· is consistent with the provisions of the Protection of People with Special Needs Act.
DAI will do business as Disability Rights New York (DRNY) and will operate all of the P&A/CAP programs authorized under federal law. DRNY will continue to serve existing clients and cases of the current P&A system or refer them to other sources of legal advocacy as appropriate, without disruption.
The Governor has, simultaneously with this public notice, provided notice to CQCAPD as the existing P&A and CAP; the State Rehabilitation Advisory Council; and the State Independent Living Council. Interested persons may wish to write to CQCAPD to obtain a copy of its response to that notice. Such requests should be sent to the address above.

Simulated BCS Rankings Week Six: Clemson, Stanford Continue to Battle
Though we're still two weeks removed from the first official BCS rankings of the season, with so many teams running through the early part of their schedules without a bump, it seems like we're bound to be in for some real intrigue.
Simulated BCS Rankings
1 Alabama Crimson Tide
2 Oregon Ducks
3 Clemson Tigers
4 Stanford Cardinal
5 Ohio State Buckeyes
The kind of back-and-forth in the rankings that we've come to expect manifests itself this week with the ongoing battle between Clemson and Stanford, two teams that have traded the No. 3 spot in our simulated BCS rankings since the start of the season. How are we figuring these out?
We've replaced the Harris Poll, which wont be available until mid-October, with the AP Poll
We've begun to use all available BCS versions of the BCS component computers, this week that includes: Colley's Matrix, Massey's BCS, Sagarin, Anderson & Hester and Billingsley. However, we will not remove any of the rankings, as BCS usually does, as to get a better overall sense of where we stand. No need to eliminate when we don't have the complete picture to begin with. Five computers used means a total possible score of 125 in the component.
In total, we'll say these rankings reflect the real BCS rankings with about 61% accuracy
This week, despite Stanford's bounding gains in the computer rankings, it's Clemson that takes the No. 3 spot. That's what happens when the two-thirds of the formula based on the voting polls favors the Tigers. That margin, however, is small. To the point where no more than a handful of votes in either the Coaches' or AP polls could have swung the tides in Stanford's favor.
So with the Tigers and Cardinal set in their 3-4 tandem, we instead turn our attention to Ohio State and Florida State, two teams that saw wide-spread support from the voters in the early going, but struggled to find that computer love every BCS contender needs.
All that has changed in the last few days, as victories over Northwestern and Maryland, respectively, have given the duo new life in the computers. The Buckeyes averaged a 8.6 ranking while Florida State pulled in an average of 4.6 across the five computer rankings.
Both are stronger than they had been in the early goings of these simulations, positive steps for two teams possibly gearing up for a fight to the finish with a bevy of other undefeated squads.
But enough talk — here are the simulated preseason BCS rankings at the end of the sixth week:
2013 Simulated BCS Standings — October 6
BCS Score
1 Alabama Crimson Tide .9789
2 Oregon Ducks .8893
3 Clemson Tigers .8736
4 Stanford Cardinal .8627
5 Ohio State Buckeyes .8186
6 Florida State Seminoles .7982
7 Georgia Bulldogs .7466
8 Oklahoma Sooners .6560
9 LSU Tigers .6256
10 Louisville Cardinals .5699
11 UCLA Bruins .5664
12 Texas A&M Aggies .5617
13 Miami Hurricanes .5100
14 South Carolina Gamecocks .4769
15 Baylor Bears .4668
16 Michigan Wolverines .3827

Simulated BCS Rankings Week Five: Ohio State Up To No. 5, Buckeyes Here To Stay?
As the real BCS rankings get closer, focus paid to one marquee game can have big ripple effects across the country if things turn out one way or another.
This weekend, that game was LSU-Georgia, and the Bulldogs' second victory over a top-10 team before September is even out (especially after losing to a top-10 team to start the year) was felt in all over the BCS component rankings this week.
Georgia's leap into the top echelon of the simulated BCS rankings is significant, however, it's Ohio State's step in the top five that should turn heads.
How did we figure these out?
We've begun to use all available BCS versions of the BCS component computers, this week that includes: Colley's Matrix, Massey's BCS, Sagarin and Billingsley
Ohio State, well back of the pack in recent weeks despite its support in the polls, leaps to No. 5 this time on the strength of teams moving out of their way and an improved showing in the computers. LSU's loss helped to make the Buckeyes' entrance into the top five possible, while also bolstering the rankings of the teams that occupied similar space last week. The Buckeyes just clear No. 6 Georgia (.0066 behind) and No. 7 Florida State (.0234 behind).
Stanford is another clear beneficiary, picking up much of LSU's support and using another easy Pac-12 victory to gain some steam and move up to No. 3, just hopping over No. 4 Clemson.
The Bulldogs land at No. 6, as they rebound on the strength of the country's most difficult schedule. Oklahoma also lands some unexpected gained support at No. 8, likely as a result of Oklahoma State's loss that placed the Sooners as the clear favorites in the Big 12.
Here are the simulated preseason BCS rankings at the end of the fifth week:
2013 Simulated BCS Standings — September 29
9 Texas A&M Aggies .6154
10 LSU Tigers .6078
14 Washington Huskies .4983
15 Northwestern Wildcats .3756

USA Today Coaches' Poll Week Five: Georgia Rises Fast
Winning nationally televised SEC games often has this kind of impact on things…
Georgia reaps plenty of benefit in this week's USA Today Coaches' Poll after beating LSU on Saturday, moving from No. 10 to No. 6, while LSU falls from No. 6 to No. 11. Elsewhere in the poll, things are seemingly much unchanged, though Clemson is able to capture one first place vote, making it three teams — the Tigers, Alabama and Oregon — with that kind of support anywhere in the poll
Alabama, for its part, stays well ahead of the pack with a nearly perfect .997 vote share, but those few first-place votes it's losing to Oregon and Clemson keep them from completing a clean sweep.
USA Today Coaches' Poll – September 29
Share of Vote
1 Alabama Crimson Tide 1546 .997
2 Oregon Ducks 1479 .954
3 Ohio State Buckeyes 1397 .901

Projected 2014 BCS Bowls — September 29
The ACC, long a secondary consideration in the BCS era (a 3-13 record in BCS bowls doesn't help) is having a 2013 to remember thus far. And when some teams expected to thrive in the early going fall apart unexpectedly, it's the ACC that's there to pick up the pieces.
Sugar Bowl Georgia vs. Florida State
Orange Bowl Clemson vs. Michigan
Fiesta Bowl Oklahoma vs. Louisville
With Oklahoma State's surprising loss to West Virginia exposing some very important flaws in the Cowboys' attack, the Big 12 looks like Oklahoma's to lose, and perhaps a one-BCS-bid conference in 2013. That'll happen in a 10-team conference and unexpected early losses.
Comment: Alabama finally flexed the defensive muscle against Ole Miss that had been so integral to its back-to-back runs to national titles these last two years. And with that reassurance, it looks even more like the Crimson Tide can make a return trip to the title game. Stanford started a bit slow against Washington State, but had little trouble dispatching of the Cougars by the end of the night.
Comment: Oregon again put up wild offensive numbers, this time destroying California in Autzen with ease. Ohio State had a little more trouble with Wisconsin, but was able to take advantage of a rowdy crowd at the Horseshoe to put up another win. Do either of these teams have losses in their future? Looking at their schedules and how they've played thus far, perhaps not. Would that be enough for Ohio State to get to the title game? It's an important question, but it more than likely would for Oregon.
Sugar Bowl: Georgia Bulldogs (At-large selection) vs. Florida State Seminoles (At-large selection)
Comment: Georgia might have been the first team with a legit national title chance to stumble out of the gate in 2013, but since losing to Clemson, the Bulldogs have looked every bit their preseason hype. Especially in their all-important victory over LSU on Saturday, the Bulldogs showed why they should not yet be counted out of the title race. But if they fall short, the Sugar Bowl could be waiting. If Florida State, clearly among the best of a revived ACC conference, finishes the season with just a loss to Clemson, they'd be well deserving of this bid as well.
Orange Bowl: Clemson Tigers (ACC champion) vs. Michigan Wolverines (At-large selection)
Comment: Clemson has led the charge of resurgence in the ACC, and spent little time toying around this week with Wake Forest. Another convincing victory for the Tigers makes it look all the more likely that they'll be the eventual ACC champs, and if they can capture the conference title without making the title game, they'll land in the Orange Bowl. Michigan should call for at least a look as far as at-large bids go, and have been able to stay undefeated despite some troubles.
Fiesta Bowl: Louisville Cardinals (AAC champion) vs. Oklahoma Sooners (Big 12 champion)
Comment: Louisville had the week off to watch from a distance as the previous Big 12 favorite Oklahoma State fell hard against West Virginia. It was Oklahoma, instead, that looked like the class of the conference by beating Notre Dame on the road. If the Sooners can match that kind of performance in conference play, they'll be set for a Big 12 title and the Fiesta Bowl bid that comes with.

Serena Williams' childhood coach: Cori Gauff will win Major, become No 1 in 2023
Serena Williams' childhood coach Rick Macci believes "the doors are open for Cori Gauff" to make major things as he believes the 18-year-old will win a Grand Slam and reach the world No 1 ranking this year. Last year, Williams and Ashleigh Barty retired from tennis.
This year, four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka is missing the entire season due to pregnancy. Iga Swiatek is ranked at No 1 and considered the best player in the game but Macci feels the Pole is again beatable. "The door is open for @CocoGauff.
Barty retired, Serena exited stage, left, Osaka is away this year, Iga has come back down to earth. 2023 Coco wins a slam and will be number 1 by the end of the year. Olympic sprinter on a mission and a burning desire," Macci wrote on Twitter.
The door is open for @CocoGauff . Barty retired,Serena exited stage,left, Osaka is away this year,Iga has come back down to earth.2023 Coco wins a slam and will be number 1 by the end of the year. Olympic sprinter on a mission and a burning desire.🔥 — Rick Macci (@RickMacci) January 20, 2023
Gauff has been tipped to win a Grand Slam
Gauff has had a great start to the 2023 season as she won Auckland before winning all of her first three Australian Open matches in straight sets.
Jessica Pegula, who is currently the top-ranked American female tennis player, believes Gauff is definitely a legitimate Grand Slam title contender and a threat to any opponent. "I think she's always a contender in a Slam.
That's just my personal opinion. I don't think any top player wants to see her early in a tournament, or any player in general wants to see her early in a tournament," Pegula said of Gauff. Meanwhile, Gauff has been getting her respect at the Australian Open.
In her first three Australian Open matches, Gauff was all three times scheduled for Rod Laver Arena. "Honestly, truly shocked I've been on Laver like all my matches. I don't know, maybe because Rafa is out they need somebody else.
I feel weird saying that. I do thrive on the big courts and I love it. I don't take it for granted because I don't know if it will keep happening, but I'm going to enjoy the moment while it lasts," Gauff said.

Towards the end of Middlemarch, Dorothea spends a mostly sleepless night following a dream-ending encounter the day before. At dawn, she goes to her window:
She opened her curtains, and looked out towards the bit of road that lay in view, with fields beyond, outside the entrance-gates. On the road there was a man with a bundle on his back and a woman carrying her baby; in the field she could see figures moving – perhaps the shepherd with his dog. Far off in the bending sky was the pearly light; and she felt the largeness of the world and the manifold waking of men to labour and endurance. She was a part of that involuntary, palpitating life, and could neither look out on it from her luxurious shelter as a mere spectator, nor hide her eyes in selfish complaining.
The passage moves through a graduated fading away, then a redefinition of focus. The minimally identified man, woman and baby – or man with bundle, woman with baby – give way to further, vaguer figures and an infinitely extended and repeating world far beyond the self. Finally, Dorothea is brought back, with Eliot's moral firmness, to a middle place between two repudiated ways of seeing or not seeing the world – neither just looking nor failing to look at all.
Dorothea will now plunge back into selfless engagement (though her first move, after coming away from the window, is to summon a servant). As narrative reward, her lost illusions are soon restored. It turns out that she was wrong in her reading of the previous day: the man she now knows she loves – Will Ladislaw – loves her and only her after all. But the window scene remains in a place of its own: a paused, breath-taking, momentary suspension of narrative development. Poised between the despair of the night and the return of the day, the sight at the window frames a moving image that takes the watcher elsewhere; and takes the novel, for that still moment, away from the concerns of its particular milieu.
In Reading for Our Time, J. Hillis Miller is moved to comment more than once on this passage about a spectator alone with a view. To readers familiar with Miller, it will come as no surprise. In a literary journey that has now reached its seventh decade (his first book appeared in the 1950s), Miller has often stopped to dwell on scenes resembling this one. In a wonderful article of 1971, published in New Literary History, he looked at the suspension between night and day, and between city and country, in Wordsworth's sonnet 'Composed upon Westminster Bridge'. Miller was at the time himself at a moment of transition, moving towards deconstruction. He read the poem as Wordsworth's undermining of the naturalistic assumption that we can see the world without or before the cultural languages that shape it for us. 'Never did sun more beautifully steep/In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill': in these lines the beauty of the London morning is evoked and confirmed through a comparison with what it is not, and the speaker's own situation comes to be seen as it would be if he were standing not in the city but in a more characteristically Wordsworthian place. 'Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!': this, in Miller's words, 'invites the reader to think of all those other contexts, scattered through Wordsworth's poetry and usually involving pastoral rather than urban landscapes, in which the poet responds to what he sees with a combination of deep excitement and calm, calm hovering on the edge of ecstasy'.
Miller's Thomas Hardy, published a year before the Wordsworth article, has the subtitle 'Distance and Desire'. Here Miller was interested in the way this kind of hovering between two contrary states can become in effect the defining stance of an author or the characters he comes up with. For Miller's Hardy, writing is a specific way of not engaging: of placing the involvement out there, in the world of his fictional people, and thereby protecting himself from the turbulence he projects and portrays. Miller describes this situation with great precision: 'To change the real world as he has experienced it into a fictional world is to nullify it, to hold it at a distance, to make it over into a linguistic form which renders it less dangerous.' Or again: 'His goal seems to have been to escape from the dangers of direct involvement in life and to imagine himself in a position where he could safely see life as it is without being seen and could report on that seeing.'
Matthew Arnold, another of Miller's subjects, presents a different scenario of ambivalent disengagement from a world seen as out there, beyond the control of an always precariously placed observer. Arnold and his poetic protagonists find reality 'bewildering'; for the critic, literature itself – the reading rather than the writing of it – is the only potential source of stability. Stability, refuge (Arnold's word is 'stay'): this is what is sought, and sought as a counterbalance to an intellectual and spiritual crisis. In the opening words of 'The Study of Poetry' (1880): 'The future of poetry is immense, because in poetry, where it is worthy of its high destinies, our race, as time goes on, will find an ever surer and surer stay. There is not a creed which is not shaken, not an accredited dogma which is not shown to be questionable, not a received tradition which does not threaten to dissolve.'
Arnold was one of the five 19th-century writers whose works Miller analysed in The Disappearance of God (1963), the book that made his name before it was made all over again as one of the foremost practitioners of deconstructive criticism. (Coming across the Wordsworth article as a theory-hungry student in the late 1970s was a formative moment for me. It showed a way of putting together the new philosophy with the literature on the syllabus and it was written with a loving analytical attention to both kinds of text. But as if there had to have been a revolutionary cut-off point, it never occurred to me then to look back to what Miller had written before he took up deconstruction.) In that book Miller saw Arnold, in his poetry, situating himself or his central figures between two equally untenable places: either a dizzy immersion in (modern) life, or a deathly withdrawal. For Arnold there is no Eliot-like middle way: 'Arnold cannot achieve the delicate equilibrium which has withdrawn from life to just the right distance … Man plunges either into society or into solitude, either into life or into death. Immobility is impossible, and each man is condemned to "oscillation", to being miserably bandied to and fro like a sea-wave.' Once, the world, the self and God were as one; but in the modern day that Miller identifies as Arnold's and as 'ours' too, the sense of there being no valid and liveable mode of social and personal involvement is a reasonable response to how things really are.
Miller goes on to find in Arnold some hope for a better future. In a famous discussion of what he regards as a cyclical alternation between 'critical' and 'creative' phases of cultural history, Arnold, in 'The Function of Criticism at the Present Time' (1864), suggested a 'promised land, towards which criticism can only beckon'. For the time being, in Miller's summary, Arnold 'must hover in the void, in one direction waiting for the lightning to strike, the dawn to come, and in the other direction sternly and implacably criticising all present cultural forms as false.'
Miller offered no explicit promise of a contemporary mission for his mid-20th-century interpretations of the five authors in The Disappearance of God (the others are De Quincey, Browning, Emily Brontë and Gerard Manley Hopkins), even though the book is profoundly concerned with its subjects' own hesitations and hoverings between literary engagement and disengagement. That – in the 1960s – was then, and those were different critical times. But now, nearly half a century after The Disappearance of God, Miller's new study of another Victorian writer is boldly given the title Reading for Our Time. He wants the book to do something in the world in which it appears: a world as apocalyptically on the edge as any that ever appeared in the alarmed vision of a 19th-century thinker. Miller's first sentence speaks of 'this time of irreversible global climate change, worldwide financial meltdown, with a new financial bubble already building, and the bamboozling of the American electorate (and other electorates around the world) by the media, advertising, the politicians and hidden right-wing contributors into voting in ways exactly contrary to their interests?'
At such a time, Miller says, there are no obvious justifications for reading old novels (or writing about reading them). But he offers two: in fact two of the oldest defences of literature in the history of criticism: education and pleasure. First, his subordinate aim: 'I immensely enjoy reading Adam Bede and Middlemarch. I want to pass that pleasure on to others.' As ever, he is winningly good at that. And second, a lesson in how to read: 'It is just possible that some few readers here and there might learn something about how to unmask the lies that bombard us in the real world by reading Middlemarch or Adam Bede.' Miller is under no illusions about the likely efficacy of this programme in getting its illusion-busting lessons through to those politicians and voters in need of it, 'even if we could imagine these good people sitting down one evening to perform a thoughtful reading of Adam Bede.' But he is quite sure of his ground when it comes to the object to be remedied. The world is what it is (gone or going to ruin), but if people could and would learn to read critically, then there would be some hope. Eliot's writings have got it right, and Miller can show how she did it or does it, and thereby – this is the larger aim – enable his (and her) readers to bring that understanding to bear on the present global predicament.
I have paid so much attention to these preliminary statements because I am struck by their difference and distance from the starting points of Miller's earlier criticism. Leaving aside any question of the validity or the practicability of his given purpose, the declaration of overtly political intent is notable in itself, and in one way not unlike Arnold; Miller's title surely echoes him, too. For Arnold, criticism had a contemporary function. Like Miller now, he didn't hesitate to unmask – and in his case, to rail against – the ideology of his social world; he was given to ad hominem outbursts against the rhetorical complacency of politicians. But there is also a big difference. Reading literature was not, for Arnold, a tool for that unmasking; it was instead the one source of consolation, the ever more needed fall-back in a whirling world.
Miller's enlistment of literature and reading for political uses looks like the latest turn on a path that has now decisively moved away from treating literary criticism as an activity not in need of any special justification or defence. Before, he might talk about how to do it or what texts to do it to, but the value of criticism went without saying, more or less, throughout the long course of smaller and larger changes in his critical methods and allegiances. These changes are usually described in terms of Miller's mid-century training in the New Criticism that dominated American English departments; then a phenomenological spell, much influenced by Georges Poulet; and then a further turn, initially via French structuralist writings, towards the deconstructive philosophies of Derrida and Paul de Man. Miller became part of what had become known by the late 1970s as the 'Yale School' of criticism, primarily identified with deconstruction (Derrida, de Man, Miller; as well as Shoshana Felman and Barbara Johnson), but also linked to other Yale critics, notably Harold Bloom, Peter Brooks, Geoffrey Hartman and Fredric Jameson.
In the decades since then, Miller's work has continued to evolve, often along paths marked out by Derrida. (Derrida moved from Yale to Irvine in California when Miller moved there in the mid-1980s.) In such books as The Ethics of Reading (1987) and Speech Acts in Literature (2001), Miller has shown a gathering interest in thinking about what literary or critical works do, or should do, and how they explore questions of action and efficacy and truth-telling. The present book gives such issues a new social urgency. The reading of a couple of canonical novels can only be justified, he implies, if it might have some political utility in a mad extra-literary world. This is a long way to have come from 'Literature is a form of consciousness, and literary criticism is the analysis of this form in all its varieties' (on the first page of The Disappearance of God); or from 'Literary criticism is language about language, or, to put it another way, a re-creating in the mind of the critic of the consciousness inscribed in the texts studied, generated there by the words' (the opening sentence of Thomas Hardy). But that phrase 'language about language' seems to beckon towards the deconstructive moment that was yet to come.
While Miller's assumptions and declarations about the practice of critical reading have undergone profound modifications in the course of his life, the texts he writes about have remained pretty much the same. His first book was on Dickens, and in addition to all the Victorians mentioned so far, he has devoted books or substantial parts of books to James, Hardy, Meredith and Trollope. It isn't that there haven't been other subjects; Wallace Stevens, in particular, recurs in all Miller's work, and he has also written about various writers of the post-Victorian century, including philosophers and critics. But 19th-century authors have continued, through every other change, to provide him with matter for thinking with.
Sometimes it can seem that far from a story of steady or sudden critical change over all this time, what Miller presents is a picture of one single book, always in process, always absorbing to read, and never done. Time and again, Miller will say at the start of a book that it is just a spin-off from a larger project, or that an initial plan for a manageable piece resulted in something far longer. This is true above all of Ariadne's Thread: Story Lines (1992), which spooled out from what had been meant as a short introduction to Fiction and Repetition: Seven English Novels (1982), and has never really stopped unravelling and rewinding into the corners and corridors of Miller's private labyrinth. Reading for Our Time is presented as two abandoned chapters of Fiction and Repetition, deemed (by the publisher) to make that book too big, and now picked up again.
It isn't easy to pinpoint the status of these two chapters. Over the years, they have become different from the texts that Miller originally submitted. They have been revised, he tells us, to take account of all the other work published on Eliot's novels in the last thirty years. They are not meant to show their real age; or rather, they are meant to have been reconceived for the present generation, and now have the special mission of training the critical readers needed in our brainwashing times. As Miller half ruefully, half proudly points out, the peculiar processes of dispersal and reassembly that have resulted in Reading for Our Time – bits and pieces of each long chapter have been published here and there and now and then, and are brought back together again here – are both like and unlike what happens to the productions of Mr Casaubon in Middlemarch. He too sent out various short pieces, his 'parerga' and pamphlets, to test the scholarly waters for the monumental 'Key to All Mythologies' to which they were ultimately supposed to belong. Miller likens himself to Casaubon – 'Don't we all, we scribblers in whatever genre?' – but then he doesn't: 'The difference, however, is that I have finally finished the ergon, or main work, such as it is.'
That remains to be seen. Unlike Casaubon, Miller has often changed key, and there is no reason to think it won't happen again. But Reading for Our Time is very much, still, a continuation of his Ariadne story. At the start is a photograph of the sculpture of Ariadne that figures in Dorothea's wedding trip to Rome, and the myth is threaded through Miller's reading of Middlemarch. Dorothea finally coming together with Will Ladislaw after her night of misery is 'another Ariadne accepting her rescuing Dionysus', and readers are invited to identify with Ariadne at that post-labyrinthine, post-Cretan point in her mythical life: 'Learning to read the signs in the ways George Eliot teaches us to do it will perhaps (to make a final reference to my frontispiece) make some of us at least Ariadnes awakening, though not, alas, opening our eyes to confront a saviour Dionysus.' In a note Miller says, provokingly, after pointing the way back to Ariadne's Thread, 'for some obscure reason, obscure to me at least, the story of Ariadne has always struck me as among the most moving of ancient myths.'
Endnotes are places where loose threads can be both deposited and cut off. Miller will not come back as his own rescuing or interpreting Dionysus to take this thought (or confession) further, but the Ariadne-Dionysus moment does capture his characteristic mode of repeated return, in new times or new contexts, to the same much-loved literary and critical texts, to give them new reading and writing life. Yet the repeated stress on that would-be final moment in Ariadne's story suggests a direction of travel towards some sort of semi-happy ending, however belated: there's a second-chance husband for both Ariadne and Dorothea.
As a reader, what Miller has always sought to produce, whatever the critical method, is a work of elucidation. 'A good reader,' he observes in an article from the mid-1980s, 'The Search for Grounds in Literary Study',
notices oddnesses, gaps, anacoluthons, non sequiturs, apparently irrelevant details, in short, all the marks of the inexplicable, all the marks of the unaccountable, perhaps of the mad, in a text. On the other hand, the reader's task is to reduce the inexplicable to the explicable, to find its reason, its law, its ground.
Or again, from Fiction and Repetition:
Twentieth-century thought – in linguistics, in psychology, in biology, in ethnology and sociology, in atomic physics, and in astrophysics – has been characterised by this recognition that the realms of man and nature are stranger than we had thought, along with the unceasing attempt to find out the laws of this strangeness and so make the unfamiliar familiar … Much in many works of literature seems unaccountable by traditional standards of coherence and unity. This book attempts to identify and to account for one form of this unaccountability.
Things do not add up – they are unaccountable – but their not adding up can be explained. In this double movement, the strange or obscure turns of the labyrinth will be sought out, identified as such and then clarified. Or 'brought into the open', a phrase to be found in every period of Miller's writing. In Reading for Our Time, it's an image of deconstruction: 'The exploration of these [elements] will bring more clearly into the open the way Adam Bede puts its own overt assumptions in question.'
Miller picks out long passages and recurrent metaphors in both novels and demonstrates their interlocking contributions to what he takes to be Eliot's own lesson (not his) in how to read her book: 'It would not be extravagant to say that the narrator of Adam Bede performs a rigorous act of deconstructive reading avant la lettre.' 'We all of us,' Eliot writes in one of the sentences from Middlemarch that Miller most loves to cite, 'get our thoughts entangled in metaphors, and act fatally on the strength of them.' For Miller, and for Eliot in this mode, there is no chance of having thoughts that are not metaphorically mixed in this way: thoughts are in language, language is twisted up into metaphors; 'we' can only try to unravel them, to separate out the strands.
Miller lays out the commonsense counterpart to this picture of linguistic thinking in his reading of Adam Bede. 'A mimetic novel must employ straightforwardly mimetic words. A referential theory of signs is also consistent with the hard-headed realism, a resolute determination to call a hammer a hammer, that is associated especially with Adam.' He sets up this simple theory of the novel's simple theory only, in the best deconstructive way, to prise it apart, going on to show (or to show that the novel is showing) that after all Eliot is well aware, at least some of the time, that the toolshed model of the world and its words does not hold up.
I do have a small axe to grind about what can happen to realism in an argument of this kind. Realism tends to get identified with a demoted, simplified theory of language – a word for everything and everything consistently called by its name. But the 'hard-headed realism' Miller takes down in order to make the more complex argument is a caricature. It stands for the call-a-spade-a-spade stupidity that he uses rhetorically to make the case for a new version (or idea) of realism, one that, à la George Eliot, is capable of acknowledging the way language operates in forming and re-forming the reality we see (and fail to see).
The place where pre-Middlemarch Eliot is particularly aware of this, Miller argues, is in chapter 17 of Adam Bede, 'In Which the Story Pauses a Little' and the narrator engages in first-person reflections on the origins and uses of what (though the word was becoming current at the time of the novel's writing, in the late 1850s) is not quite named as realism. Miller honours chapter 17 with a chapter of its own, mimicking Eliot's own conscious pause by leaving it out of his discussion of Adam Bede and holding it over until his section on Middlemarch. He says that in spite of Eliot's 'overt affirmation' of 'realism as exact reproduction, the covert argument is for a certain use of figurative language. Such language does not say directly what it means. The language of realistic fiction is not based solidly on any extra-linguistic entities. It transforms such entities into something other than themselves.'
I think this is true, but to me it isn't quite the most moving story of what goes on in this chapter. Eliot herself (or her proxy narrator) takes her reader – in words – away from language and story, and the suspension of fictional time leads her to stop instead in front of a series of 'Dutch paintings, which lofty-minded people despise'. The paintings portray moments in eventless and humble domestic lives:
I turn without shrinking, from cloud-borne angels, from prophets, sibyls, and heroic warriors, to an old woman bending over her flower-pot, or eating her solitary dinner, while the noonday light, softened perhaps by a screen of leaves, falls on her mob-cap, and just touches the rim of her spinning-wheel, and her stone jug, and all those cheap common things which are the precious necessaries of life to her.
Eliot has altered the focus from a developing narrative to the capture of a single moment, and from a verbal to a visual medium. For Miller this may appear to be an 'effacement of the problem of language', because 'the implication is that the language of realism is a literal, non-figurative language functioning like a photograph or like a scientific drawing. It goes by way of a one-to-one correspondence between the word and the thing to which it refers.' But Eliot's programmatic realist point is that representation in art gives a value to what would otherwise be unseen or untold. It doesn't only tell or show (or try to), it chooses this particular reality over other possible subjects for representation: 'these faithful pictures of a monotonous homely existence' rather than the upper classes, or the fantastical creatures that precede her verbal sketches. The argument does not require that there be no mediating conventions, whether in image or in stories. But it does suggest that some things are more deserving of being brought into the frame than others.
Out for a walk last week with a head full of Miller's theoretical realities, I suddenly thought that I'd just seen the word 'deconstruction' on the side of a parked grey van. Assuming I must have misread this (misreading does happen), I went back, curious to see what it was that I'd managed to twist. I hadn't misread it. The van was marked 'Deconstruction specialists'. The company's name was Protech. Based in Bexhill. There were fax and phone numbers – a proper landline. Below, in two neat blue columns, a list of the services offered. Concrete Cutting.

Home Animals & Pets An icy forecast for ringed seal populations
An icy forecast for ringed seal populations

Arctic sea ice is now declining at a rate of 12.8 percent per decade – 2012 had the lowest amount of summer ice on record. The drastic change has numerous implications for Arctic ecosystems, from increased shipping – the first commercial container ship crossed the Arctic Ocean in fall 2018 – to changing food webs.
But for ringed seals across the Arctic, it's not the lack of ice that will hurt them most – it's the lack of snow.
While ringed seals (Phoca hispida) rely on stable sea ice in order to birth pups and raise them, they also rely on sufficiently deep snow drifts in which to dig lairs, which are much like snow caves and can mean the difference between life and death. The lairs provide insulation from extreme cold and offer some protection from predators, keeping their young ones out of view from wandering polar bears – their main predator – until they are weaned. Killer whales, walruses, wolves, dogs, wolverines, sharks, and even gulls prey on pups. Along with providing shelter, there are breathing holes within the lair that allow direct access to the waters below for the seals to hunt polar and Arctic cod and a variety of planktonic crustaceans necessary for survival. During years with poor snow cover, pups can be born on the surface of the ice, but mortality of these pups that weigh only ten pounds at birth is extremely high.
Scientists have already observed and predicted that high pup mortality rates are linked to poor environmental conditions like early ice breakup and low snow. Researchers have now gone a step further by coupling these hypotheses with forecasts of future spring snow and ice conditions, developing a mathematical model, and following it to some stark conclusions for populations off the Amundsen Gulf and Prince Albert Sound in Canada.
The paper appears today in the Ecological Society of America's journal Ecological Applications.
"It was surprising to see just how little snow is forecast to be available for the construction of lairs in the future," said lead author Jody Reimer, PhD candidate at the University of Alberta. She was surprised both by the magnitude of the projected population declines – ranging from 50 to 99 percent by the year 2100 – as well as by the fact that these declines appear to be largely driven by insufficient snow on the ice, rather than early ice breakup.
In addition to overall seal population declines, the model projects that there will be a smaller proportion of juveniles relative to adults and pups over time, as fewer pups make it to their teenage years. In general, each successive generation gets a little bit smaller, and the effects of this are seen most acutely in the juvenile stages, especially for a long-lived ringed seals with lifespans up to 43 years.
Reimer also says these results and predictions would not have been made without the new mathematical model, which revealed glaring issues with previous observations, namely adult annual survival.
"When we put the previously published demographic estimates into our model, it predicted dramatic population declines that are inconsistent with the fact that ringed seals still exist in that area," Reimer said. Ringed seals are considered a somewhat cryptic species, being notoriously difficult to study. Estimates of survival and reproductive rates have been collected over the years, but these estimates had not been combined into a population-level model until now.
Ringed seals' dependence on sea ice and snow makes them good indicators of climate change. They are the most abundant Arctic seal, with a huge geographic distribution, and are thus exposed to a wide range of climate change impacts. Additionally, changes in the community composition of Arctic marine systems can be seen through their diet as they shift their prey in response to what is available.
So, as an indicator species, ringed seals provide information on the health of Arctic marine ecosystems. But this information relies on the ability to detect the large scale changes resulting from climatic changes. Furthermore, future ecological challenges must be anticipated. For ringed seals in particular, given their sensitivity to snow cover, a better understanding – and modelling – of factors affecting adult survival is essential for assessing population viability as the Arctic climate changes.
It appears that Reimer and her colleagues are well on their way to anticipating these changes – "I think this is an example of an instance in which modelling can really help with the interpretation of field data and help inform future field endeavors."

Rent a Dumpster in 73130 Now!
Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the 73130 dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.
Our roll off containers can usually be delivered in 73130 the day after you place your order. Make sure to call us early to ensure timely delivery.
Building Dumpster Rental in 73130 - Do You Want One?
The most frequent exception to this rule is when you've got a truck that is large enough to transport all construction debris to a landfill or landfill drop off point. In case you're working on a little bathroom remodeling job, for instance, you may find that you could fit all the debris in a truck bed.
Other than quite little projects, it's recommended that you rent a dumpster in 73130 for construction projects.
If you aren't sure whether your municipality accepts construction debris, contact the city for more info. You'll probably find you will need to rent a dumpster in 73130. Setting debris outside for garbage removal could potentially result in fines.
Depending on the size of your endeavor, you may require a small or large dumpster that could carry all of the debris and left over stuff.
The most typical dumpsters comprise 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard versions. When you have a tiny endeavor, for example clearing out a garage or basement, you can probably reap the benefits of a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. When you have a bigger endeavor, for example an entire remodel or constructing a brand new home, then you'll most likely need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
Many folks decide to rent a bigger dumpster than they think they will want. Although renting a bigger dumpster prices more money, it's cheaper than having to an additional dumpster after a small one gets total.
The smallest size roll-off dumpster typically accessible is 10 yards. This container will hold about 10 cubic yards of waste and debris, which is roughly equal to 3 to 5 pickup truck loads of waste. This dumpster is a great choice for small-scale jobs, such as small home cleanouts.
Other examples of jobs that a 10 yard container would work nicely for contain: A garage, shed or loft cleanout A 250 square foot deck removal 2,000 to 2,500 square feet of single layer roofing shingles A little kitchen or bathroom remodeling job Concrete or soil removal Getting rid of waste Be aware that weight restrictions for the containers are demanded, thus exceeding the weight limit will incur additional fees. The standard weight limit for a 10 yard bin is 1 to 3 tons (2,000 to 6,000 pounds).
A 10 yard bin will allow you to take care of little jobs around the house. For those who have a bigger job coming up, take a look at some bigger containers too.
Most cities or municipalities don't have many regulations regarding dumpster rental in 73130 as long as you keep the dumpster entirely on your own property during the rental period. Should you need to put your container on the street in any way, you will probably have to obtain a permit from the right building permit office in your town.
Most dumpster rental companies in 73130 will take care of procuring this permit for you if you rent from them. Be sure that if you're intending to place the dumpster on the street, the firm has made the appropriate arrangements. You need to also ensure that you get the permit in a timely manner and at the right price. In the event you thought the dumpster company was getting a permit and they didn't, you will be the one who will need to pay the fine that's issued by the authorities.
Picking the top dumpster for your endeavor is an important aspect of dumpster rental in 73130. If you choose a dumpster that's too small, you will not have enough room for your debris and waste, which means you'll have to schedule additional trips. In the event that you select one that's too big, you'll save time, but you'll squander money.
If you call a dumpster rental business in 73130 and describe the job for which you need a dumpster, they can urge the best size. Their years of experience mean they usually get it just about right. A 10-yard dumpster generally works well for medium-sized cleaning projects and little remodeling jobs. A 20-yard dumpster is the best option for large residence cleaning projects and medium-sized renovation projects, while a 30-yard dumpster has higher walls which are ideal for a home cleanout or remodeling jobs on a big house. 40-yard dumpsters are massively large and are used only on the largest projects such as new building.
As with any service, it's always an excellent plan to reserve your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to ensure the dumpster will be accessible when you require it. If you wait until the last minute, there's no guarantee the organization will soon manage to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is generally adequate to ensure your dumpster delivery punctually. Recall the most active days tend to be on Mondays and Fridays (surrounding the weekend), so if you can organize your job for the midst of the week, you have a increased possibility of getting the dumpster you will need.
Should you find out you want a dumpster the next day or even the same day, please go ahead and call the business. If they have what you need, they'll certainly make arrangements to get it to you as soon as possible.
Dumpster rental firms that charge flat rates are often the top options for contractors and home owners. When you utilize a company that bills a flat rate, you can anticipate at least two advantages.
Paying a flat rate usually means that you get to prevent any hidden fees and costs. Firms which usually do not charge flat fees may include additional costs for basic services like dropping off the dumpster. Keep in your mind, however, which you still may have to pay extra in case you would like to include particular things and stuff in the dumpster.
Renting a 40 yard dumpster can get you a container that holds about 40 cubic yards of waste. Dumpster sizes and dimensions aren't absolutely conventional from company to company, but common measurements for a 40 yard container are 22 feet long by 8 feet wide by 8 feet high. This is the biggest size that most dumpster firms normally rent, so it's perfect for large residential projects as well as for commercial and industrial use.
The cost to rent a dumpster in 73130 depends on several factors such as the size you need and how long you need to keep it to finish your project. Usually, you can expect to spend more money for bigger dumpsters. Keeping the dumpster for a longer amount of time will also raise the cost.
Getting estimates is among the top ways to compare dumpster costs to be sure you get a fair deal. Since some companies may charge additional fees, it's crucial that you be sure the price quote comprises all the equipment and services that you need.
Generally, renting a dumpster in 73130 is an affordable way to remove debris from a construction, remodeling, or clean out project. As long as you get price quotes so you can compare your options, you need to discover you could get a superb deal on a dumpster rental in 73130.


During this course, the presenters misspoke regarding the TUG. A TUG time (score) of less than 15 seconds is the cut-off point for ruling out the likelihood of a fall.
checkmarkThe participant will be able to Independently list the 6 most important basic psychometric properties.
checkmarkThe participant will be able to differentiate between screening and assessment to promote the highest level of evidence-based and reimbursable care in the SNF/LTC setting.
checkmarkThe participant will be able to accurately describe the 2 outcome measures psychometrically supported for use in the SNF/LTC setting.
checkmarkThe participant will be able to identify at least 3 outcome measures for appropriate use in the SNF/LTC setting according to their study design.
checkmarkThe participant will be able to describe at least 2 barriers of research within the SNF/LTC population which prevent quality research studies from being performed.
I am a student, so this may not mean much, but I have worked in inpatient rehab for 2 years now and my girlfriend works at a SNF. Anyways, this presentation I think really shows how amazing our profession can be in that we can provide such specific care with such general tests to ensure that each person gets the highest quality of care they deserve.
Very useful & informative knowledge.
short , well organized and easy to remember.
was easy to read and understand the information.
I enjoyed how it was organized and presented by the presenter.
Gives a great overview of many tests, and encourages clinicians to be sure they are using an appropriate one for their patients.
Gives clear direction to considerations for what tests to use in the LTC/SNF population.
Many resources included in a short amount of time and clinical relevance.
Most relevant information I've come across in a long time in relation to SNF and the balance tests.
Information was relative to the SNF and gave me insight as to why certain test are more conducive than others.
It is current, relevant, and something we as clinicians need to think about in our everyday practice.
Understanding that the "norms" we sometimes rely on in LTC/SNF settings are really related more to patients from other types of settings.
Usefulness of the information and relevance to my current work setting.
very applicable to homecare...I will be changing the tests i do immediately!
Speaker is well-versed and confident in the topic presented. Easy to follow.
audio version included more details and explained what some abbreviations meant within the slides.
Slides provided to highlight the points that the speaker was making. Clear instruction.
How the topic was presented.
Presenter was knowlegable, passionate and well organized.
Information was relevant to the setting and topic of the course. Information was delivered in a standard fashion.
Presenter was well spoken, easy to understand and the information was relative and applicable.
Practical information, especially in looking at fall risk and how to assess it in this population.
Information was clear, concise & useful.
Presenter excellent - enthusiasm for topic was contagious.
Simple slides with just the instructor reading from them.
The instructor talked fast and I would have liked a few more examples with the course content.
I would have appreciated a bit more an the actual application and interpretation of the tests and less about doing research.
Information was easy to understand, presented well.
Very interesting information was presented that will assist me with choosing standardized tests for my SNF/LTC facility patients.
I, being an older therapist, thought that more information should have been given about the individual tests and values that would be useful in the SNF setting. Those of us that were educated before these tests were conceived and included in our schooling, are looking to be updated and educated in how to conduct the tests and not how to set up a valid research study in the SNF.
Information that is usable to me today.
Speaker is amazing, love the details. Look forward to implementing additional measures for improved outcomes to my home health clients.
Would have been more beneficial to have an actual slide of the spreadsheet she talked about when she was summarizing. Instructor said she created a spreadsheet for herself of normative values etc; however, was not included in presentation. This is something each of the clinicians could have utilized immediately with their patients.
Instructor made it easy to follow principles of good research and study components.
Relating research outcome to PT practice.
Gave objective measured tests I have never heard of to be able to research and use.
Information was clear,direct, relevant, and well delivered.
This course did exactly what the title said, and covered all the objectives.
It evaluated different testing methods and I can apply this to my daily work.
Pointing out cultural differences in populations in different countries when considering comparing populations. Review of tests all in one presentation helpful. It would be beneficial to include a copy of the "spreadsheet" with tests and norms you referred to.

The HP Pro x2 612 for business provides laptop and tablet functionality in a single device.
Hybrid designs and 2-in-1 devices are big right now, but there aren't many options for the business user who wants to take the convenience of a tablet into the workplace and use it as a Windows PC.
HP is helping to fill that void with the HP Pro x2 612, a business-focused detachable hybrid, just announced at Computex. The Pro x2 612 offers a business laptop and tablet with a detachable design. It weds a 12.5-inch tablet with a docking keyboard for a full-featured business laptop.
The tablet itself is available for purchase separately as the standalone HP Pro Tablet 612. It boasts a 12.5-inch display, with full HD (1080p) resolution, touch capability, a Wacom digitizer, and passive stylus. The slim tablet can be configured with either Windows 8.1 or Windows 7, for optimal compatibility with existing IT structures. HP claims that the tablet alone offers up to 8 hours of usable battery life on a single charge.
The Pro x2 612 is available with a range of Intel Haswell processors (Celeron, Pentium, and up to Core i7 Y-class), and comes with several business-friendly features, like TPM and Intel vPro technology, a built-in fingerprint reader for simple secure logins, a SmartCard Reader, an on-board micro SD card slot for extra storage, and optional Qualcomm Gobi 4G LTE modem.
The accompanying Power Keyboard—the docking keyboard bundled with the HP Pro x2 612—offers a number of convenient features, like two USB 3.0 ports, a DisplayPort, an SD card reader, and VGA output. The keyboard also has its own battery, which HP reports should provide 6 to 8 hours of usable life to the battery life offered by the tablet alone. With the Power Keyboard attached, the HP Pro x2 612 weighs just over 4 pounds, light enough for on-the-go use with or without the keyboard.
The HP Pro x2 612 will be available through HP starting this September. Final pricing has not yet been announced.


So there is a new food hall in town, and it is called Fareground. This place is a wonderful concept, except they shouldn't have invited so many people on a busy weekend night. There are six local food vendors to choose from, drinks and food and snacks to pick out from each joint, along with an open seating area so you can make new friends while hanging out. I chose Ni-Kome so I could try the miso ramen on a chilly and wet Austin night. It was perfect. If you find yourself in downtown Austin and near Second Street and Congress Avenue, then be sure to try this food hall for a nice dinner outing.
Along Desert View Drive, you will find a few small pullouts that have room for only one or two cars. Some of these have small trails that lead up to rocky, rim edge views of the Canyon. Be very careful if you hike up such a trail, because there are no guardrails to keep you safe.

Weir Lions are no more, but they were kings
Posted on: April 18,2013
(Writer's note: A proud tradition is ending. The Weir Attendance Center Lions, one of Mississippi's great small-town football powerhouses, are no more. Weir is consolidating with Ackerman High. In October 2004, I spent a day in Weir, trying to learn why the team always won. What I found still amazes me. The town identified with Weir football. I wonder what happens now. Here was that column.)
WEIR − At first glance, the Weir Lions look like high school football's version of Hollywood's The Replacements.
The quarterback stands a shade over 5 feet, 6 inches, weighs in at 225 pounds, has meaty calves the size of gallon jugs and is by far the strongest player on the team. Meet left−handed Jermaine Woodard, who also makes the deep snaps and was his team's leading tackler as the middle linebacker last year. Now, opponents must tackle him and it's like tackling a great big bowling ball.
One starting inside linebacker is a 15−year−old, who stands 5−3 and weighs, maybe,120 pounds. Meet too−quick−to−block Markey McBride, who is all muscle and want−to.
The nose tackle, who wears No. 14, stands 5−5 and weighs in at a whopping 136 pounds. Meet Jeffrey Holman, who also plays running back in a pinch. But don't try to pinch him. There's nothing to pinch.
The team's hardest hitter, the enforcer, is an outside linebacker, who sometimes lines up at cornerback and weighs all of 150. Meet B.J. Holloway, who will knock you into next week.
The Weir Attendance Center Lions, 43 players strong, are a collection of tough−as−pine−knot country kids, who with few exceptions appear too little, too short or too lean to play football.
Don't let their looks fool you. This proud, gritty bunch has won its first eight games this season, 23 straight over two years and 37 of its last 38 games. What the Lions lack in size, they make up for in equal parts grit and character.
They are part of an incredibly rich Weir football tradition that has won nine North Mississippi and six Class 1A state championships since 1984. At Weir − pronounced Where − the W also stands for winners. Seventy percent of Weir's male student body plays football. Think about it: If, say, Meridian had the same ratio of participation, its football squad would number more than 600.
"One reason we win is because our guys believe they are supposed to win," says coach Junior Graham. "That's pretty much all they've ever known."
Oh yeah, meet Junior Graham, the bearded coach, who stands about 5−6 and wears glasses so thick you just have to guess there are eyes back in there somewhere. Please, please, don't let his looks fool you. This man can ever more coach.
And Junior Graham might be the perfect coach for Weir, where ballboy−sized kids are converted into nose guards and linebackers.
Once upon a time, Graham was a 5−3, 117−pound quarterback, who had a hard time seeing over his center's butt at nearby Ethel. Actually, Junior Graham always has had a hard time seeing, period.
"My eyes have always been bad," Graham says when asked. "They just never developed like they were supposed to. One eye corrects to 20−30 and one doesn't correct at all. I don't have any peripheral vision. Not a bit."
Still, he ran the Wishbone offense at Ethel. How, you ask, does some one who can't see what's coming from the sides play quarterback?
Graham laughs at the question. "You get beat up," he says. "That's how."
Once, when Ethel was playing Weir, Graham took a blow to head, shattering his glasses. So, there he was, 5−3 and 117, with glass stuck in his nose and blood streaming down his face, barely able to see. Yes, and while he was getting ready to call the next play, the referee made him go to the sidelines.
"I hated Weir then," Graham says. "They always won and we usually lost. I was jealous. They had something I didn't have."
That was in 1982. Eleven years later, when Graham got the chance to join Joe Lynn Gant's staff at Weir, it wasn't a hard decision.
"I knew what I wanted to do in the seventh grade," Graham said. "I wanted to coach and I wanted to be the best coach I could possibly be. When I got a chance to coach with Joe Lynn, I jumped at it."
Gant was by then something of a legend here. His teams always won 10, 11 or more games a year. They had won two state championships.
Gant remembered the determined, little quarterback from Ethel. And he had watched Graham coach elsewhere and was impressed. He not only hired Graham, he made him his defensive coordinator and began grooming him as his replacement.
"Junior is one of the best coaches you'll find at any level; he's better than I ever was," says Gant, who still lives about 100 yards from Weir's stadium.
Says Graham, "Ninety percent of what I know comes from Joe Lynn. I'll just tell you this, nobody trained or prepared a football team better. All I can tell you is that if I had to enter a mule in the Kentucky Derby, I'd want Joe Lynn to train him for me."
With Gant as head coach and Graham running the defense, Weir won state titles in 1994, 1996 and 1997. Graham took over in 2000 and won his first state championship last year after losing in overtime of the title game the year before.
Graham, a delegator, deflects more credit to his staff, which includes four full−time assistants who double as teachers: defensive coordinator Joey Tompkins, offensive line coach Jim Wood, wide receivers coach Chad Garner and Danyon Turner, a former Weir standout, who coaches tight ends and defensive linemen.
All the coaches give credit to the community of Weir for its passion for football. Everywhere you go in town, there's a football connection, including Mayor Glen Beard, the school's assistant principal and a former assistant to Gant. His youngest son, Jonathan, is the team's place−kicker.
Alderman Glen Blaine films the games. Another alderman, Marion Kelley, is a former head coach and principal. Pam Bradberry, the town clerk, is president of the Booster Club.
"In Weir, people talk about football all week and then on Friday nights we roll up the streets," Bradberry says. "This is a town of good, blue−collar people, who care an awful lot about our school, our kids and our football."
Only 420 people actually live in the city limits, Bradberry says, "but we usually give the dog−and−cat version of 500."
Nevertheless, football games routinely draw crowds of between 1,200 to 1,500.
Says Angie Stevenson at Angie's Beauty Shop, "Football's in the blood here. Everybody wants to be a part."
That is especially true of the boys. Jermaine Woodard, the bowling ball of a quarterback, loves his new role, but badly misses playing middle linebacker. He likes to throw, but he loves to hit. Weir coaches love to show the film of him running over an East Webster player at the goal line. The other guy's helmet flew off and rolled all the way through the end zone.
Woodard, a quiet, polite young man, doesn't say much but does say he can remember wanting to be a Weir Lion since he can remember anything at all.
The same is true of senior Kaylen Hester, who doubles as a wide receiver and defensive back at a rail−thin145 pounds.
"I ain't big, but I play as big as I can," Hester said. "Coach Graham says it doesn't matter how big, it's how many. Bees attack as a swarm, so do we."
Football, Hester says, is what Weir is all about. It is his community's identity. Some would say Roy Oswalt,the Houston Astros pitching star, has put Weir on the map, but Oswalt, it should be pointed out, was once an all−star wide receiver and safety for the Weir Lions.
Asked to sum up what football means in Weir, Hester pauses.
"There's not much here, but we got football," he says. "Football's mighty important here. If it wasn't for football, we wouldn't have much of anything."
In Weir, football is plenty.

B Hester says:
Think you for this article. Kaylen Hester is my son & he found this today & text me. He LOVED playing football!!!!!!! All the boys did & the town LOVED it also. It is very sad to go by the fields now @ Weir. The baseball, softball, FOOTBALL, the Field House, everything so still and quit. But for me and the TOWN of WEIR (family) it will ALWAYS be RED & WHITE. The ROAR of the MIGHTY LIONS still echo every Friday night & in my heart. "GO WEIR"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"GO #12 !!!!!!!!!!" "THAT'S MY BABY" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That would be ME, seating @ the top on the 45/50 line under the press box, yelling louder then the announcers, standing packed. Oh, what fun…………………
Danny Hill says:
I'M from Nanih Waiya and let me tell u Weir and Sturgis was the 2 teams to beat and we hardly ever beat either one, I work overseas and I decided this last time I went home I would ride to both schools just to look, been yrs since I've been to Weir, sure is sad that both schools merged, Sturgis really looks sad cause there is hardly nothing there, and I ALWAYS wondered how Weir won so much, we Never won the State Title.
WAC Alumni says:
FIVE football coaches in a 1A school? It's no wonder the progressive academic legacy of Principal Marion Kelley died a horrid choking death. When I attended Weir we had access to classes in physics, calculus, various foreign languages, computer programming, etc… all in a dinky little 1A school in the 80's. But I guess it's hard to keep up with technology if you are paying 5 staff to coach football plus fill in as a teacher somewhere.
James kelley says:
Weir has been winning way before coach Gant and junior james ever came to weir . It was during their time though that the state championship came in to play . Marion kelley kelley brought the game of winning to the fore front . Weir has always been filling teams that would fight you tooth and nail for a win . These kids were kids that were blue collar hard working and hard nose that had a lot of pride. I can assure you that the small team you may have witnessed being small but weir has filled so many teams that were big and fast and would try and knock your head off . Weir has had many players go to the sec . We also have had many go pro . it was a football town for sure and coach Gant brought track into it and made us faster he would always run the dog crap out of you so we won a lot of games due to being in better shape than our opponents. Our region was always competitive Durant sturgis and noxapater were always and naniwaya were always tough opponents with good athletes too. Marion kelley after hiring coach Gant and even before Gant was the leader of that school and ran a tight and disciplined ship , he made sure education was not a side show to football if you couldn't do it in the classroom you weren't gonna do it on the field and he treated every one as fair as the other . I can attest to it didn't matter who you were cause he tore my rear end out of joint many many times and I was his son and today I can say my daddy and joe Lynn who was my coach and like an older brother who took me everywhere with him made sure weir was respected as a team but more than anything respected as a school . They inspired me to coach football something I've been doing for 37 years and still going . Weir is so much more than just a football team it's a rock that has so many are grounded to and yes we will all always say we were the king of pride
Johnathan Brown says:
We never won a state title in my years playing for weir but we always fought till third round & always left everything on the field.. We never saw the guy next to us on the field as a teammate but as a brother.. All about chemistry off the field which made it better on the field…Was always a knuckle head till coach graham came in and sat with me in the principals office & introduced me to something called football.

Q: Sublime Text through command line: Don't open more than 1 window/instance, add to working project instead It's pretty unclear the philosophy of Sublime Text (3 in my case) concerning opening program from command line.
With version 2, if I wanted to open Sublime with the current working directory I would type subl . &.
With version 3, the & has become optional, the instance is automatically sent to the background.
That's good, but if there already was an instance of sublime to be restored, both window become open.

What I'd expect by running subl .

*

*If an instance is already stored, it opens and adds . (working directory) to the left panel (they call it Add to the project)

*Else do the current behavior

Is there any chance I can achieve that?
Maybe I should use what they call project, but that's pretty unnatural to me: sublime should open and close files, so only 1 window, with many folders in the left panel I can manage is the best.

A: Cool, I found it:
subl --add .
From subl --help.
I've aliased it: alias subl="subl --add"
