The Poet by Yi Mun-Yol
When I ran across a very positive review for Yi Mun-yol's novel The Poet over at Korean Literature in Translation, I was really excited to check the book out. It's a novel about a poet who went by the handle Kim Sakkat–"Rain-Hat" Kim, the grandson of a rebel-leader who suffered social censure (and, almost, the execution of his whole family, in retribution for the granddad's "crime"). The grandson becomes a poet, and then a wanderer, and arguably the first proto-rapper or beat poet in Korea… and the novel purports to explore his life story.
Sound great, right? Unfortunately, I found The Poet to be really drab, unengaging, and not really recommendable. I'm actually a little baffled the book could get a positive review from anyone, much less described have its writing style described as "clever"… personally, I feel like a novel of this sort–at least, the translated text I read–could only get a positive review when the bar is lowered. Unlike a fair number of Korean books I have passed on to friends abroad, it's not a book I would ever recommend to anyone, because, unless one is particularly interested (and invested) in Korean literature, I don't think it's going to hold interests, or even grab it in the first place. It may hold value as an example of Korean fiction by a major Korean author, and perhaps your mileage may vary, but as a novel, in the global marketplace of novels, it's sadly not a contender for anything on my 2014 list except maybe Most Unengaging Text.
Of course, I should note that I'm not sure whether the problem is with Yi Mun-Yol's original text, or the translation by Chong-Wha Chung and Brother Anthony of Taizé. It could be that the language is more crisp in the original, or simply that the text inevitably lost something in translation. Either way, though, Kim Sakkat was less-than-satisfyingly rendered as a character: most of the way through, he is held at arm's length, and the narrator of the novel often speculates directly on Kim's state of mind, rather than simply writing the story assuming it. There is, of course, some value in being aware of the dangerous of historical fiction, but there are other ways around that than holding the character at a distance, and constantly breaking the narrative momentum to vociferously speculate about it.
I can't help but think, though, that Kim is a shadowy, ambiguous figure here because of Yi's desire to use him allegorically. There seems to be an overt political reason why Yi was attracted to the story, after all: like Kim, Yi was socially ostracized for political reasons when his father sided with North Korea during the Korean war, and defected to the North. This introduces the sense that Kim is a sort of proto-Yi, or, well, a crucible for Yi's own reflections, though he realizes that carrying that sort of thing too far isn't really fair to Kim. So, out come the kid gloves, the speculations, the distancing, and rather than giving Kim an air of mystery, he ends up being a boring stick figure in the distance.
Then there's the unremitting negativity. Kim, like so many Korean literary characters, is sad, because horrible things have happened to him… but also because, nothing he does will ever make anything better. This is a fundamentally common meme in Korean society, and in Korean literature, and I contend that it's impossible to tell a story that really engages people if this is taken to heart. Kim basically gets screwed over as a child, and wanders around, at first hoping to regain the lost social status his family once held through writing poems. When the aristocrats figure out who he is, and reject him, he refashions himself as a "people's poet." (Mostly, we have to take Yi's word on that, as the poetry samples don't get any more interesting at this stage.) When the masses lose interest, he moves on.
This is the most interesting bit of the book: there is a glimmering, at the end because Kim ends up hanging out with some valley bandits–people who, like him, are social outcasts, victim, the losers of society. They're also kind of radical revolutionaries. One wishes that Yi would explore the obvious attraction Kim probably felt: these people were engaged in the same "crime" his grandfather committed, against an unjust society that unjustly punished him; is it too much to imagine Kim fantasized joining up and going all Reservoir Dogs on the powers that be? Or, you know, started composing poems that reflected a change of heart, or his struggle with fear, or something?
Instead, Yi has the poet bumble his way through a conversation with the bandits, in which they score a bunch of intellectual points against Confucianism and the extant power structure of the Joseon Dynasty, while Yi basically just warns them that Confucius and Mencius really are good, that society is the way it must be, that trying to fight before everyone in society is wakened (when has that ever happened?) is dangerous and ill-advised. That is: Yi unthinkingly reiterates the ideology of the status quo that screwed him all his life. The character who ought to be most invested in embracing that, advises against it… after a lifetime having a chainsaw shoved up his backside by that status quo, he defends it as inviolable, or at least, inviolable for the present. It makes no sense… unless you've internalized a meme where personal action is hopeless, one's fate is inescapable, and the best one can do is find a way to get by…
Which is pesky meme one sees in a lot of Korean fiction, unfortunately. Not the stuff of great fiction, unfortunately, and if you think that's culturally insensitive to say, then, fine, let me qualify that: it's not the stuff of great fiction for a reader from a culture that values and privileges human agency–the ability to choose and decide to do something, however limited by social circumstances or power differentials. I really do wish Korean fiction had more of that–or, perhaps, that the Korean fiction that does have more of it ended up getting translated. With each novel or story I read that involves glum protagonists resigning themselves to unremitting misery, I grow increasingly more impatient.
(And, doubtless, there are real-world political and social implications for the meme. I've written about the real-life issue of Korean college students and their poor acquaintance with agency in an article on RPGs and their uses in education, published this book of essays compiled for WyrdCon 2012.)
It doesn't help that the poetry in the translation really, truly fails to sparkle. I mean, it's drab. The selections from Kim's actual poetical oeuvre maybe read impressively in the original Korean, but they were dull and unimpressive to my ear. I should note: I'm someone who reads, writes, and occasionally publishes poetry: I enjoy and value poetry. But the stuff in this novel does nothing to explain why Kim Sakkat is such a popular figure… nor does the story that Yi tells. I found I had to force myself not to skip the poetical snippets here, and there were, besides, surprisingly few of them.
There is, of course, a brief section at the end that was cool–a bit of magical realism or fantasy, where Kim Sakkat and his son are walking through the woods and the father begins to mumble bits of verse. His son can't seem to figure out whether his father's poetical utterances are actually changing the world, or simply altering his perceptions of his surroundings. That's an interesting thought about the magic of poetry, of poetical utterances: whether it changes the world, or just your perceptions, poetry has a transformative power. It's a very cool little idea, and worthy of a short story, and I suppose I'm glad I made the slog through the book to that point. But to be honest, I very nearly abandoned the novel several times, and the neat stuff at the end was barely worth it… I would have preferred to read a novel that explored this more intruiging, semi-magical nature-poet Kim Sakkat, and whatever wanderings and actual adventures could have followed, and served up the most relevant bits of the preceding in flashbacks that actually fleshed him out as a character. I cared little for the parts of his life where he pathetically licked the asses of yangban "Gentleman scholars", or composed rappy platitudes for the public, or hung out with rebels while trying to talk them out of rebellion. Only the last stage in Kim's life really held any interest or mystery for me, to be frank.
Of course, I'm also sure that, if I wanted to–and had enough investment in finding value in it, I could find all kinds of intellectual arguments to justify most of the aspects of the text I have criticized above. But I'm not that invested in it: coming to it as a novel in a world full of novels, in which Korean books and Japanese books and American and Canadian and Indian and French books and all the rest compete on an equal footing, I can say: your time is better, more pleasantly spent elsewhere, with one of hundreds of other novels. This one, at least in the English version, is likely to disappoint anyone who doesn't come to it already convinced it is a text of value.
Of course, I suppose I should have known better than to expect much: Yi's Our Twisted Hero was a book I found similarly dry, though less boring overall. (I discussed it here.) Maybe I would have enjoyed Tae Hung Ha's The Life of a Rainhat Poet better–it apparently looks into the sordid side of Kim's life story a little more, and probably is less freighted by an authorial attempt to allegorize his own political sufferings. But I can say that, personally, there are other mainstream Koreans authors with whose translated works I'd much rather spend my time with… Kim Young-ha being one, off the top of my head, though since my copy of Your Republic is Calling You isn't handy now, my next Korean read will probably be Yom Sang-Seop's Three Generations, a book I have had in hardback for years and always wanted to read.
Note: the book did trigger some thoughts that are useful and interesting–mostly musings that take off from the question of how to do Korean historical fiction in a way that is both entertaining and true to the (miserable) historical realities. That is, how to do Korean historical fiction in a more interesting and appealing way than Yi Mun-Yol managed in The Poet. But those thoughts are not really pertinent to this post, and I'll save them for a separate piece, one I'll add to the site tomorrow.

I attempted NaNoWriMo for the first time in 2011 and won. The following two years I was successful as well. This year however I didn't try at all. I knew with what was on my plate I might not have a chance to win. And for me personally it's all about the win. Granted we don't win much apart from five copies of your book and bragging rights. Trust me, bragging rights is pretty darn sweet.
I'm glad I made this mental decision before November. On the first and second we had a writer's conference in town. The next four days I was at a writer's retreat, half of which I was sick. Getting home on Thursday the 6th, I contracted a virus from hell which laid me out for 10 days. This brought me to November 16th which was already half of the month done.
In the three years I have won NaNo the first year I did it in 21 days, the other two in two weeks time. So it was plausible I could buckle down and make a serious go at it. But I decided not to chance it. Knowing I would going down to visit my in-laws for Thanksgiving would mean losing three days.
I am happy for all of you who made the attempt and won. I am also happy for everyone who made a serious go of it. Everyone has their own personal goal. My friend Robin calls it NeedToWriteMo in which she tries to write every day of November which I feel is a commendable goal.
But for me it's all about the win about the win.


Sky Bergman is on the show today. She's a filmmaker from San Luis Obispo who premiered her documentary Lives Well Lived at this year's Santa Barbara International Film Festival. This feature length doc interviewed forty people aged 75-100 with a collective life experience of 3000 years who shared their secrets, wit, and wisdom. The Lives Well Lived project captures the images, ideas and ideals of those who are proving that aging is something to cherish, not dread. That retirement doesn't mean you retire from life. And that growing older doesn't mean growing silent.
You can find more about the film at www.lives-well-lived.com.
In this episode we talk about the film, and how Sky got into video production after a career in photography, and we even drop some tips about living a long and healthy life.

Furry fans flock to Further Confusion 2007
Posted on April 17, 2019 at 1:27 am
San Jose, California –Cell phones, cigarette lighters and glowsticks are raised in tribute as Circle of Life begins playing. Soon cheers drown out the song as the multicoloured performers appear on stage. A somewhat unusual introduction; but this is no ordinary show, and these are no ordinary attendees. This is Further Confusion, the second largest furry convention in the world.
The volunteer organizers have something to cheer about, too; Furry fans have gathered from far and wide at the DoubleTree Hotel to indulge their love of anthropomorphics, and Further Confusion's 9th year is its largest, with a paid attendance of 2061. Their gains mirror those of Midwest FurFest, a similar convention held in Schaumburg, Illinois which grew 35% last November.
Both events feature art shows and auctions, live puppetry performance, masquerades, variety shows, games and parades, as well as panels that range from science and technology to society, sex and spirituality. Filling out the schedule, the hotel walls are lined with announcements of public and private room parties for separate groups. At night, the disco floor fills with dancing cats, dogs, and dragons.
For some, dressing up plays a large part of the convention – almost 300 brought a full costume. There are few professional mascots here, though, and only one or two of the costumes would be recognized by even the most avid cartoon-watcher. Instead, each act is planned and performed by other attendees, wearing "fursuits" of their own design. Many play off the year's secret-agent theme — "Fur Your Eyes Only".
Other fans seem content to restrict themselves to small accessories — perhaps some combination of paws, ears, or tail. Each fur bears a 3″x2″ badge detailing their personal character, or "fursona". Often these characters are better-known than the people who play them.
It may seem lighthearted, even frivolous, but these conventions are becoming big business. Furry fans spent over $180,000 for lodging during the five days (Jan 18-22) of Further Confusion, and another $50,000 at the art auction. Attendees also purchase all manner of merchandise from attending dealers and artists, from on-the-spot art commissions and comic books of all ratings to prints, sculptures, and plush toys – even their very own fluffy tail.
Of course, any business has risk, and conventions can drain wallets when the sums just don't add up. The first furry con, ConFurence in Southern California, ran successfully for over a decade, but cost its new organizer an estimated $60,000 in its last four years due to falling attendance before folding in 2003.
Anthropomorphic Arts and Education board member Peter Torkelson says that won't happen to Further Confusion. Indeed, the convention ran a healthy surplus of almost $30,000 on $125,000 revenue last year, allowing it to pay off the last of its old debts and save for the future. As Torkelson explains: "The idea is if for some reason, say an earthquake happens, and it cripples the revenue stream, the convention will be able to survive into the next year. It does help our staff to know that we have [a reserve]."
The reserve also gives AAE the financial flexibility to fund charities throughout the year, a big part of its 501(c)(3) mandate. Over the nine years of the convention, attendees have raised over $60,000 for a variety of animal sanctuaries, wildlife refuges, and the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Further Confusion's hopes for the future are high. Chairwoman Laura Cherry noted that, unlike previous years, the board has "gone all out" for next year's tenth anniversary, booking as many rooms as the hotel could offer. The host for 2009 has yet to be decided, but for many fans the question was not whether the current hotel will reach a limit, but when – and where – the convention will find a new home.


Union Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh here today launched an Online Analytical Tool to facilitate closer monitoring of the flow and utilisation of foreign contributions received by various organisations registered or permitted under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 2010. This web-based tool enables decision-makers in various Departments of Government to scrutinise source of foreign funds and their actual use in India. It gives them capacity to take data-driven and evidence-based decisions regarding the compliance of the provisions of the FCRA, 2010. It has analytical features to conduct big data mining and data exploration. Its dashboard will be integrated with the bank accounts of the FCRA-registered entities through the Public Financial Management System for updation of transactional data on a real-time basis.
Shri Rajnath Singh witnessed a presentation on various aspects of the Analytical Tool and appreciated the painstaking work done by all concerned officials. Home Secretary Shri Rajiv Gauba, Director (IB) Shri Rajiv Jain, DG (NIC) Smt. Neeta Verma and officials of Ministry of Home Affairs were present.
There are approximately 25,000 active organisations registered under The FCRA, 2010. Foreign Contributions worth Rs.18,065 crores were received by such organisations from foreign donors for various social, cultural, economic, educational and religious activities during financial year 2016-17. Each FCRA-NGO conducts multiple financial transactions in receiving and spending the foreign contribution. Therefore, there are hundreds of thousands of such transactions annually which can be monitored effectively through this tool. It will, therefore, help the stakeholders in Government to better regulate acceptance and utilisation of foreign contributions.

Blind, paralysed but 'unbreakable'
By any measure, Mark Pollock is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary story.
Mark's eyesight was failing by the time he entered university but it did not stop him becoming a champion rower, learning to salsa dance and meeting his beautiful wife, Simone.
He was completely blind by the age of 22, yet he still managed to become the first blind man to reach the South Pole. Styling himself as an adventurer and motivational speaker, Mark's story inspired others to overcome adversity.
But Mark Pollock had spent his life sizing up obstacles in order to overcome them. Knowing that a long, hard road lay ahead, Mark and Simone somehow mustered the strength to take on the most daunting of tasks – finding a way to help a paralysed man to walk.
Now, four years after he lost the use of his legs, Mark and Simone are at the forefront of exploring robotics technology. They are working to apply the latest in bionics, electrical spinal stimulation, pharmaceuticals and physical therapy to give hope to those who have been told that they will never walk again.
It has, of course, been a testing time for a young couple whose best-laid plans were turned on their head by a tragic twist of fate. Yet their relationship endures and Simone, a lawyer, has herself become something of a lay expert in cutting-edge robotic technologies and spinal injuries.
As they explain in this clip, it has been a long four years but there is a sense now that their efforts will pay off in the long run – for Mark, hopefully, but for others too.
Today, Mark continues to inspire others by sharing his story, raising funds, giving TED talks, and participating in research projects. He is even the subject of a new film, appropriately titled 'Unbreakable'.
Somewhere at the intersection of technology, pharmacology and a truly remarkable human being lies hope for a radical breakthrough for what is currently viewed as irreversible paralysis.

Kaduna govt orders arrest Islamic Movement's spokesman
The Kaduna State Government has ordered the arrest and prosecution of Ibrahim Musa, the spokesperson of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, which the government has declared as an illegal society.
The order was contained in a statement signed by Special Assistant to Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Media and publicity, Mr Samuel Aruwan.
The statement said the order declaring the IMN as an unlawful society in Kaduna State took effect from October7, 2016.
"Violation of this order attracts penalty of imprisonment for seven years or a fine or both, according to sections 97a and 97b of the Penal Code," the statement said.
According to the statement, a few hours after the order declaring the Shiite group illegal was given, Ibrahim admitted membership of an unlawful society and identified himself as its spokesman in widely publicised statements.
"This is deemed as a deliberate and determined affront to the order, and the law has to take its course," the statement read in part.
"The Commissioner of Police has been directed to ensure the arrest to enable prompt prosecution by the Kaduna State Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice."
All security agencies in the state had been directed to vigorously enforce the law, and demonstrate clear resolve by arresting the said Ibrahim Musa.
The statement added, "The Kaduna State Government also wishes to reiterate that it fully respects freedom of religion and other rights as guaranteed by Sections 38 and 40 of the 1999 Constitution.
"The same Constitution imposes an obligation on government to secure the state and protect every citizen against infringement of their rights by others.
"Drawing from powers vested by Section 45(1) of the Constitution, and Section 97a of the Penal Code, the governor signed an order declaring the IMN as an unlawful society in the interest of public order and to protect the rights and freedoms of all persons in Kaduna State."

Brett Rypien threw for 308 yards and four touchdowns to lead Boise State over Colorado State 56-28 on Friday night.
Boise State (5-2, 3-1 Mountain West), which had to rally from a 35-10 halftime deficit last season against the Rams, flipped the script this time in racing out to a 35-7 halftime lead and never looked back.
Colorado State (3-5, 2-2) was its own worst enemy, turning the ball over three times and giving up a wild punt return for a touchdown. K.J. Carta-Samuels was 19-of-30 passing for 238 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.
In the first half, the Broncos' offense was so efficient that the only third down it failed to convert occurred when Rypien stumbled over his own feet after taking a snap under center. But that was about the only miscue he had in finishing with the same number of touchdowns as incompletions (22 of 26 passing).
Rypien hit A.J. Richardson twice on scoring strikes of 13 and 35 yards in the first half before finding Sean Modster for a 17-yard touchdown near the end of the second quarter. Modster also scored on a 26-yard reception in the fourth.
Boise State defensive back Avery Williams had an interception along with a 44-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, the Broncos' first since Nov. 23, 2013 against San Diego State.
Air Force gets first conference win 41-35
Isaiah Sanders accounted for four touchdowns Friday night to lead Air Force to a 41-35 win over UNLV.
Sanders completed 9 of 11 passes for 217 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 173 yards and three TDs. Rona Cleveland had three receptions for 100 yards and one touchdown for the Falcons.
Air Force (3-4, 1-3 Mountain West) held off a late rally by UNLV, which erased a 20-point deficit with 5:45 left in the third quarter by scoring 14 unanswered points.
The Falcons stopped UNLV (2-5, 0-3) on fourth-and-8 with less than two minutes left in the game, as Max Gilliam's pass to Darren Woods Jr. fell incomplete.
Gilliam, who was making his third start in place of injured starter Armani Rogers, was 26-of-38 passing for 261 yards and three touchdowns and one interception. The sophomore averaged 186.5 yards passing in his previous two starts for the Rebels, who rank 123rd nationally with just 123.7 yards per contest.
Lexington Thomas rushed for 108 yards and two touchdowns for UNLV.

Monumental Error: Washington DC Mob Attacks Andrew Jackson
June 23, 2020 Topic: Politics Region: Americas Tags: Andrew JacksonDonald TrumpBLMProtestsRacism
The police may manage to keep Jackson intact for now, but Lafayette Park and its immediate environs are in the hands of the protesters.
by Jacob Heilbrunn Follow JacobHeilbrunn on Twitter L
The war against the past took another step last night when a motley crew of demonstrators chanting "Hey, hey, ho, ho, Andrew Jackson's got to go" sought to topple the equestrian statue of Andrew Jackson from its plinth in Lafayette Party. Old Hickory withstood the assault and the U.S. Park Police and DC police force dispersed the mob that tried to exercise a form of vigilante justice. But it may only be a holding action. While an "autonomous zone" may not be allowed to form in Washington—on Monday afternoon, DC police dismantled an incipient tent city on H street—it became clear to me early this morning after visiting downtown that the demonstrators have already established something of a foothold in Lafayette Park and Black Lives Matter Plaza. In staging his photo op outside St. John's Church a few weeks ago, President Donald Trump inadvertently triggered the rise of what appears to be a free-floating encampment.
There weren't many demonstrators around this morning. It was predominantly the news media feasting on the events of last night. Lafayette Park, which is blocked off by a fence, looked fairly intact, but Jackson's statue was not. The word "Killer" was emblazoned in black spray paint on his plinth. Jackson has come in for a drubbing for his brutal treatment of American Indians.
But it's also bizarre that Old Hickory is being denounced by the left tout court. For many decades he was a hero to liberals. Jackson was a founder of the Democratic party; a staunch populist; an opponent of moneyed, aristocratic elites; and a foe of banks as well as the electoral college. Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. won a Pulitzer Prize for his biography The Age of Jackson, depicting him as a precursor of Franklin Roosevelt and the New Deal. Now it seems that Jackson, who has been embraced by Trump, who probably never heard of him until Steve Bannon mentioned his name, is a tyrant and an ogre for the ages rather than a flawed product of his time.
The police may manage to keep Jackson intact for now, but Lafayette Park and its immediate environs are in the hands of the protesters. They have everything they need to keep going—tents, food, hand sanitizers, and port-a-potties. The atmosphere was subdued this morning, but the tone remains militant. The thousands of posters lining walls range from plaintive—"Democrats and Republicans Will Never Help Inequality. They Are Now Same Party! Are Sold Out Must Start New Party Now, Here"—to exhortatory—"Stop White Terrorism!"—to outright threatening—"We Will Never Conform to Injustice A Change Will Be Made By Any Means Necessary".
Local businesses, whether from genuine conviction or prudent self-preservation, are encouraging the protesters. The Hay-Adams Hotel, for example, has large banners on each side of its entrance proclaiming "Black Lives Matter" with the Hay-Adams logo embossed in gold. 16th Street, from K Street on down, is blocked to traffic and a rallying point for demonstrators as well as T-shirt vendors selling "Black Lives Matter" paraphernalia. Perhaps most discombobulating is the dilapidated state of St. John's Church, which serves as a kind of home base for the movement. Any religious services would appear to be a non-starter: instead of the usual advertisements for religious services, the sign outside the church has been vandalized with such messages as: "Real Live On Moms We Not Reloctan Moe On Earl" and the like. What this gibberish is supposed to mean is beyond me. Another cardboard sign prominently displayed outside the church offers such pearls of wisdom as this: "Sex is Cool…But have you ever Fucked the System. Trump Did."
What does it all add up to? This morning, Trump is tweeting, "There will never be an `Autonomous Zone' in Washington, D.C., as long as I'm your President. If they try they will be met with serious force!" But this is taking the grandiosity of the protesters at their own word. There is unlikely to be an "autonomous zone," let alone a storming of the Winter Palace. The more likely prospect is that Trump will face what amounts to a prolonged siege that he will fulminate about for the rest of the presidential campaign.

Towson defensive end Ryan Delaire enters NFL draft pool deep with 'tweeners'
| INDIANAPOLIS
Ryan Delaire emerged as an All-American at Towson after transferring from Massachusetts-Amherst. (Courtesy of Towson University)
Towson defensive end Ryan Delaire regularly lowered his shoulder pads and accelerated into opponents' backfields during the past two seasons, leveling unsuspecting quarterbacks and running backs.
It was a recurring display of skill that earned Delaire an invitation to the NFL scouting combine this week at Lucas Oil Stadium.
It was also an example of how a "tweener" draft prospect such as Delaire can provide value to a defense, especially in the 3-4 defensive scheme, where smaller college defensive ends often project as outside linebackers at the next level.
"To be honest, I feel like I'm a hybrid," Delaire said Friday. "I feel like I can stand up or put my hand down. I feel like I don't have a set position."
Delaire isn't alone. For years, NFL teams have prized players with his kind of size (6 feet 4, 255 pounds) and athleticism (an expected 4.6-second time in the 40-yard dash).
Since Hall of Fame outside linebackers Lawrence Taylor and Charles Haley's dominant days in the 1980s and 1990s, NFL teams have devised schemes to take advantage of players who are too small to play defensive end but are big and fast enough to play outside linebacker.
"I know that great 49ers coaching staff with George Seifert created that position," Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "They took it out of what was going on in New York" with the Giants' Taylor. "It has become a position of prominence. It's really an outside backer position and a rusher that can also drop. It is a hybrid spot that's really suited for guys in that 250-pound range with speed and athleticism who can do a little bit of everything.
"We've always looked for it. You can go back to our college days [at Southern California] when we had Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews. That's the epitome of what you are looking for on this level, too. It's become a big part of the game. The flexibility that those players bring to the passing game as well as the rush game is what makes it so unique."
Although Delaire is regarded as a later-round prospect, the draft is headlined by several excellent pass rushers who, like him, lack ideal size.
That includes projected first-round draft picks such as Nebraska defensive end Randy Gregory (6-6, 240 pounds), Missouri defensive end Shane Ray (6-3, 245), Kentucky defensive end-outside linebacker Bud Dupree (6-4, 269), Florida outside linebacker Dante Fowler (6-2, 261) and Clemson outside linebacker Vic Beasley (6-2, 235).
"I think it's a good thing to be a tweener, because we're so versatile," said Dupree, who is set to meet with the Ravens at the combine. "We can help teams in a lot of ways at more than one position. I can play inside or outside or defensive end. I try to pattern my game after Aldon Smith, Clay Matthews and Von Miller."
What separates Gregory, Ray and Dupree from a large group of pass rushers is their speed and ability to close passing lanes.
Dupree had 74 tackles last season and finished his career with 23.5 sacks, the most among active Southeastern Conference players. He might have to bulk up in the NFL or drop weight, depending on where he lines up.
"It doesn't matter to me; I still move the same," Dupree said. "I don't think I need to lose weight. In the 3-4 scheme, I think I'm at the right weight."
Growing up in Connecticut, Delaire was a basketball player and didn't play football until his senior year of high school, after which he earned a football scholarship to Massachusetts-Amherst.
"Football grew on me, and being in a helmet, going hard and being in a brotherhood, you don't have in other sports," Delaire said. "As far as athleticism and being able to jump and do a lot, I was a small forward."
After a coaching change at Massachusetts, Delaire transferred to Towson. In two seasons with the Tigers, Delaire emerged as an All-American who finished with 22.5 sacks.
Delaire declined invitations to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl and Medal of Honor all-star games after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery in late December. Fully healthy now, he plans to conduct a full workout at the combine. He's hoping to post a 35-inch vertical leap and bench-press 225 pounds 25 times.
Delaire had 14.5 tackles for losses and forced three fumbles last season.
"As a pass rusher, I'm a little versatile because I'm able to bend the edge each move," said Delaire, who has a combine meeting with the Ravens. "I try to do a double-arm swipe or a dip-and-rip. I dip after each move to create a path past the offensive tackle. I use the speed rush and the bull rush. I try not to be a robot out there, basically.
"I feel like I'm one of the premier pass rushers in the draft this year. I feel like I bring a lot of bend around the edge. Not too many pass rushers can do that. That's something I have to offer."
Delaire said he hopes the Cleveland Browns' selection of former Towson running back Terrance West (Northwestern) in the third round last year has raised awareness about the Tigers' program. Towson cornerback Tye Smith also was invited to the combine.
"It just basically brings more attention to Towson University," Delaire said. "Having those players brings a lot of scouts to our school. Coming from a small school, you have something to prove."

A new boarding house model creating a bridge between school and university.
Craigleith sixth form centre provides mixed boarding accommodation, study and recreational spaces for the upper sixth form as a whole. It was the first element of a master plan to prepare Fettes College for the 21st century freeing up space in existing accommodation to improve facilities across the campus.
Designed to relate to the scale and materials of the school's existing historic estate, the stone-clad curving form breaks down the building's overall mass and creates a sense of protective enclosure around a single storey foyer, the social heart of the building.
The curving, male and female wings enclose en-suite rooms with shared ground floor public functions. The two wings frame the tower of the main Fettes building when seen obliquely from East Fettes Avenue, emphasising the building's role as an anchor at the main entrance to the estate.
The central foyer gives access to the upper levels of either wing where the challenge of the bedroom corridor is resolved by locating small kitchen and breakout spaces in wedges that negotiate the curve. Staff accommodation occupies key overlooking positions linked by an upper level bridge which provides a spectacular vantage point to view the campus.
This concept of bridging is integral to the building as the new facility is seen as a transition between the protective embrace of the school and the independence of further education. It is no surprise, then, that the model typology of a university college building has influenced the ambience, demeanour and quality of the building's brief and form.
