  • 2008 TRASH Regionals Round 10 Tossups 1. This Person Is Deemed
    2008 TRASH Regionals Round 10 Tossups 1. This person is deemed superior to both Francesca in the Guggenheim and a social psychology professor in Baskin- Robbins. She likes her Scotch aged eighteen years. Her name is Janine, although she doesn't want to be called that. She has been encountered in a car by the side of the road, in a tub, and on a pool table, with the latter fulfilling her paramour's prom night pact. John, played by John Cho, popularized the term "MILF" in describing, for ten points, what older woman played by Jennifer Coolidge, the lover of Finch in the American Pie movies? Answer: Stifler's Mom or Mrs. Stifler (accept Janine Stifler on early buzz) 2. His 1984 graphical text adventure, Amazon, sold 100,000 copies. A personal friend of Jasper Johns, he published an appreciation of his work, as well as a book on BASIC programming, Electronic Life. Hollywood work included the script for Extreme Close Up as well as directing Looker and Physical Evidence. His pen names included Michael Lange, a pun on the German word for "tall", and Jeffrey Hudson, the name of a 17th century dwarf, under which he wrote A Case of Need. For ten points, name this author of The Terminal Man, Congo, and State of Fear, who recently died of cancer at the age of 66. Answer: Michael Crichton 3. This show's second episode, "Birdcage," featured a cameo by Audrina Partridge from The Hills. The third, "Dosing," sees the staff's bonus checks held hostage to a feud between the general manager, Neal, and HR director Rhonda, which is defused when the owner's wife tries to seduce Neal.

Signed: ID No: Date: Abstract Our life stories enable us to reflect upon and share our personal histories. Through emerging digital technologies the possibility of collecting life experiences digitally is increasingly feasible; consequently so is the potential to create a digital counterpart to our personal narratives. In this work, lifelogging tools are used to collect digital artifacts continuously and passively throughout our day. These include images, documents, emails and webpages accessed; texts messages and mobile activity. This range of data when brought together is known as a lifelog. Given the complexity, volume and multimodal nature of such collections, it is clear that there are significant challenges to be addressed in order to achieve coherent and meaningful digital narratives of our events from our life histories. This work investigates the construction of personal digital narratives from lifelog collections. It examines the underlying questions, issues and challenges relating to construction of personal digital narratives from lifelogs.

What has all this to do with poetry? Poetry, and all art, as we have learned about art in Western culture since Plato, has the potential to subvert dominant para- digms. Indeed, in addition to linguistic delight, the beauty and satisfaction of form, the revelatory import of symbol, and the emotional gratification of access to interior life and the world of feelings, one of poetry’s powers has been subver- sion--subversion, if you will, of dominant paradigms. Plato himself, was furious with Homer and says so in Book V of The Republic because Homer’s portrayal of Odysseus as a warrior who wept and showed self-doubt subverts the ancient Greek (if not also the modern American) paradigm of masculinity, generally, and the dauntless soldier in particular.
