NEW YORK (Reuters) - The star witness against Martha Stewart in her obstruction of justice trail is expected to testify as soon as Thursday that his stock broker supervisor ordered him to pass a secret trading tip to the lifestyle trendsetter.

Proceedings were canceled Wednesday due to a snowstorm.

Douglas Faneuil's testimony could provide prosecutors with some of the most potent evidence in Stewart's criminal trial: that she sold nearly 4,000 shares of ImClone Systems Inc. on Dec. 27, 2001, after receiving illegal insider information.

The clean cut, 28-year-old should know, prosecutors say. Faneuil, a broker's assistant at Merri"

For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of."

This is the very favorite book that I read. It has an author by John Ashbery. It is real poetry. I wanted to read it 2x before I read it. It is good for the beach reading (date: June 18). Please bring a dictionary to look up the different words. Who are the girls (names)? I took this book to everywhere I was going one day and finished that book in 3 days after going 19 places. Please read this enjoyable imagination. "

sp!ked-IT | Article | Gone to the blogs: "On the web, there is a white noise of personal prejudice

This kind of blogging is little more than a subjective spouting match, where bloggers spill forth their views on everything, anything and sometimes nothing. But there is more to journalism than instant reaction and response. Good journalism involves rising above your immediate concerns, weighing up the facts, and attempting to say something more measured and insightful - sometimes even truthful and profound. Blogging creates a white noise of personal prejudice, akin to students arguing in a bar rather than experts saying anything striking. I haven't got a problem with pub-style debates about the issues of the day - but journalism it isn't."

Nonce-word Pragmatics - Louis CabriUnlike the neologism, a nonce-word is (if it’s Inman’s) more likely to create a meaning for itself only after its inaugural event, as “word,” has occured. A nonce-word is more likely to be at first, and to an extent to remain, sense-less. For the most part it seems that the neologism works the other way: top down – from a coined meaning that is declared necessary and that requires definition, to its widespread usage. A neologism transcends its original context of use, becomes an atomized word circulating in new sentences, contexts. A nonce-word does not so easily, if ever, transcend its inaugural context and event: the exceptions generally become neologisms (e.g. Schwitters’s “Merz”). Unlike a neologism that in certain respects fulfills a linguistic need which therefore must be officially declared and instituted, a nonce-word slips into linguistic usage for the most part unnoticed, without apparent need.

To Google, and Other Internet Neologisms

Neologisms. Fowler, H. W. 1908. The King's English: "Intellectuals is still apologized for in 1905 by The Spectator as 'a convenient neologism'. It is already familiar to all who give any time to observing continental politics, though the Index to the Encyclopaedia (1903) knows it not. A use has not yet been found for the word in home politics, as far as we have observed; but the fact that intellect in any country is recognized as a definite political factor is noteworthy; and we should hail intellectuals as a good omen for the progress of the world.

Invisible Adjunct: May 2003 Archives: "I have to say, I don't love the term either, though I now use it all the time. It's just not pleasant.
"

languagehat.com: BLOG UGLY?: "
The estimable Invisible Adjunct has an entry expressing her distaste for the word 'blog.' This is a distaste that many other people seem to share, but I'm at a loss to account for it. Phonetically, it's a perfectly standard English word, stop liquid vowel stop; I fail to see how it's any uglier than, say, 'block,' 'plug,' or 'log.' To my mind, it's a clear improvement over 'weblog,' which is harder to use as a verb or combine with other words. It's a nice short English monosyllable."

smog. The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. 2000.
New phenomena require new words, so it is not surprising that smog is a relatively recent coinage. The word followed the phenomenon by perhaps half a century, for air pollution was first noticed during the Industrial Revolution. The word smog is first recorded in 1905 in a newspaper report of a meeting of the Public Health Congress. Dr. H.A. des Vœux gave a paper entitled “Fog and Smoke,” in which, in the words of the Daily Graphic of July 26, “he said it required no science to see that there was something produced in great cities which was not found in the country, and that was smoky fog, or what was known as ‘smog.’” The next day the Globe remarked that “Dr. des Vœux did a public service in coining a new word for the London fog.”

he wanted to represent its depth rather than its superficial beauty,
