Twenty Consonant Poetry

Twenty Consonant Poetry was developed by skilled poetic researchers working in Urbans, Illinois in 1993. The idea grew out of a joke about twelve-ton music. It was originally used as a learning aid to invoke visions in high school poetry students. Since then, people of widely varying sensibilities have attempted it. It has been used to write stories, scripts, stock reports, limericks, lists of things to do, matrices, songs, political commentary, and cartoons. Unbeknownst to us (at least for awhile). Twenty Consonant Poetry even had its own web page

Clinical and psychopathological study of senile psychoses

1. Psychotic manifestation: play a very important part in the mental disorders of old age, and occur in more than half of all the cases examined.2. The commonest reaction is a persecuted one, but depression and hypochondria are also common. Mixed states are typical. The idea of being killed recurs again and again.3. Seven illustrative cases are described, and an attempt is made to evaluate the symptoms from the psycho- analytic point of view.4. General conclusions are drawn from these cases. Evidence is adduced of defensive efforts, with narcissism, flight from reality, repression, regression, projection and introjection.5. The hypothesis is put forward that senile psychosis represents typically a defence against the fear of death, conceived of as a deprivation.6. The suggestion is made that somewhat similar mechanisms may be found to be operative in producing some of the symptoms of senile dementia

Supreme Court Power Play: Assessing the Appropriate Role of the Senate in the Confirmation Process

The Bush Administration will likely have the opportunity to make a number of appointments to the Supreme Court; however, such nominations may lead to contentious confirmation hearings in the Senate. When such an appointment opportunity does present itself, questions are bound to arise concerning the appropriate role of the United States Senate in the confirmation of Supreme Court nominees under the advice and consent provisions of article H of the Unite States Constitution. Disputes over the Senate \u27s proper role and scope of inquiry seem to emerge whenever a nominee has faced the confirmation process and have been a timeworn subject of legal debate. In this Article, we assess the proposition that the Senate should have an active role in the confirmation process, which includes investigation into a nominee\u27s ideological beliefs and constitutional philosophy. We begin by examining the background of the Constitution\u27s advice and consent phraseology and consider early applications of the confirmation process by senators during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. We then discuss the struggle for judicial selection power between the Senate and the President and conclude by suggesting the need for an active Senate response to executive nominations

The response of a marine bacterium to cupric ion and its use to estimate cupric ion activity in seawater

Experiments were conducted to determine the relationship between the response of a bacterial isolate to copper, as measured by cellular incorporation of 14C-glucose, and the complexation of copper by organic ligands. Inhibition of glucose incorporation was dependent on the cupric ion activity and independent of the concentration of organic complexes of copper both in UV-treated seawater (36‰) containing different concentrations of a model chelator, nitrilotriacetate (NTA), and in low salinity media (1.8‰) containing varied amounts of commercially-prepared or river-borne humic compounds...
