Universities in India
Many takers for DU language courses
Delhi University admission scenes are heated up with large number of students rushing in the last minute to obtain their application forms. Though the sought after courses remain BCom, BSc, English, Economic and Psychology, students are also exploring the languages.
With the diverse world demanding students to know various languages, this year DU is witnessing many students taking up honours courses in languages.
The university offers various full-time undergraduate courses in many languages that include Sanskrit, Punjabi, Arabic, French, Italian, German, Spanish and Persian apart from English and Hindi.
The university department of Germanic and Romance studies offers Bachelor's programme in European languages, while BA (H) course in Sanskrit, Punjabi and Persian is offered by individual DU colleges.
The number of takers for BA (H) courses in European languages is increasing with every passing year. Students could also opt for the part-time courses in Portuguese and Romanian offered by the department.
Under these language courses, students get to study the cultural encounter between Europe and India, the interface of literature, new media and art. They will also get to explore postcolonial writings in Europe and the erstwhile colonial world. Concurrent papers in History and English will also be studied under the courses.
For admissions into the BA (H) courses for all European languages, aspiring candidates will have to sit for the entrance exams that will measure the candidates essay writing skills along with the student's ability to understand logic and awareness of world affairs.
Sources from the university also stated that the number of takers for BA (H) Sanskrit course is increasing with new zeal.
Students opting for BA (H) in Sanskrit this year will be under the new curriculum that will include papers from Mathematics, Philosophy of language, aesthetics and nomenclature.
With Sanskrit emerging as a job-oriented language widely used in computers and the language gaining recognition in the West, many MNCs have offered good placement offers for Sanskrit graduates from St. Stephen's College in the previous years.
Zakir Husain College is the only college that is offering BA (H) courses in Persian and Arabic. The college records good number of takers for both these languages, with more students opting for the Arabic when compared to Persian course.
The increasing trade with Gulf countries is attracting more students to opt for Arabic courses.
Students can opt to work as translators, teachers, news readers, writers etc after pursuing language courses.

On Friday Kanye West unveiled a new song, "Devil in a New Dress," but his tweets about Taylor Swift over the weekend got even more attention. West apologized, once again, for embarrassing the country star at last year's MTV Video Music Awards. "I want to win [her fans'] hearts back so I can continue to bring my take on culture to the masses with a clean opinion," West wrote on his Twitter. "It starts with this... I'm sorry Taylor."
"I wrote a song for Taylor Swift that's so beautiful and I want her to have it. If she won't take it then I'll perform it for her," West wrote. "She had nothing to do with my issues with award shows. She had no idea what hit her. She's just a lil girl with dreams like the rest of us. She deserves the apology more than anyone… Who am I to run on stage? I would never ever again in a million years do that. Sorry to let you down. It is distasteful to cut people off as a general rule. What's the point of dressing tastefully if I'm going to act the complete opposite? Yes I was that guy. A 32 year old child. When I woke up from the crazy nightmare I looked in the mirror and said GROW UP KANYE ... I take the responsibility for my actions. Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that."
"Devil in a New Dress" will reportedly appear on Kanye's upcoming fifth album, and not his five-song Watch the Throne EP with Jay-Z.

madscilab78 weeks agoI love it! The only thing is the red around the 9 is a slightly different color. I realize you might have done it for effect but I don't think its necessary. The larger font size of the 9 is plenty. Best of luck on submission!
nbwillie78 weeks agoThank you! The darker red around the 9 was done on purpose because most McDonald's signs looked like that. I did submit this a few months ago but got no response so I figured I'd ask for advice to hopefully improve it.
RiteGuyShirt78 weeks agotry taking out the arches. That their copyrighted logo. It's still clear the intention, and the eyebrow is subtle and works. So may it was a copyright issue.
ORabbit78 weeks agoGreat concept, but needs some work. Change the arches to just one arch, like the 50's McD buildings. Trademark concern averted. Next, your lines are decent, but they're too skinny and uniform in weight. Finally, your colors are flat, and need shading to look professional. Good luck!

Reason, Faith, and Revolution
Reflections on the God Debate
Terry Eagleton
Yale University Press ($25)
by Emy Farley
English Literature and Cultural Theory professor Terry Eagleton is a bold man. The highly decorated literary critic begins his latest book, Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate, by brazenly admitting since the only theology I dont know much about is Christian theology, as opposed to those kinds I know nothing about, I shall confine my discussion to that alone, on the grounds that it is better to be provincial than presumptuous. As for science, my knowledge of it is largely confined to the fact that it is greeted with dark suspicion by most postmodernists.
This statement should give Eagletons readers a glimpse into the book theyve just picked up: a man who self-admittedly understands little about science or theology is here attempting to bridge the gap and provide context for the ongoing debate about the existence of God. The tone of Eagletons declaration will also give readers an understanding of the language awaiting them in Reason, Faith, and Revolution: a bit long-winded, rife with the presumptuousness he contends he does not have, and bound to go straight over the head of an average reader.
From the start, it is obvious that Doctor Eagleton (as he requests to be called, finding Professor too stuffy) has something he needs to get off his chest. He is tired of atheists missing the point, taking the easy road and rejecting Christianity as a whole rather than approaching it systematically. He is tired of the ignorance and prejudice of Christianitys rationalist and humanist critics, and he is especially tired of two prominent atheist writers, Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins (later referred to as the singular derivative Ditchkins). Though blind belief stretches Eagletons imagination, he finds that Christianity itself has important things to teach about politics, about death, suffering, love, self-dispossession, and the like, so with Reason, Faith, and Revolution he attempts to move the debate from its current dismissive tenor to one that is more reasoned.
This lecture series-turned-book begins several interesting arguments that could become coherent and convincing chapters, but these arguments are either abandoned or proven by flimsy analogies, leaving the reader floundering to conclude Eagletons point on his behalf. Take, for example, the sum of Eagletons argument against Ditchkinss stance that Christianity is a useless pseudo-science that dispenses itself from the need of evidence altogether. Christianity, asserts Eagleton, was never meant to be an explanation of anything in the first place. It is rather like saying that thanks to the electric toaster we can forget about Chekhov.
The main dispute between religion and science does not, Eagleton contends, concern the best explanation for how or why were here, but rather how far back one has to go to begin asking questions. Science looks for the spark of the Big Bang and the things that followed. Theology, he says, looks further: why is there anything in the first place? Why are we self-aware? Why do we want answers, how do we know we want them, and why do we assume the system works in a rational, explainable way?
According to Eagleton, God created the universe not because he had to, but simply for the joy and the art of it. This becomes the main distinction between liberal rationalists like Ditchkins and radicals like the author—can you see the world not as a question to be answered, but as a gift given for no reason other than love? The world exists entirely for its own sake. How do we know this? Because, explains Eagleton, in the Bible we have the story of the first rebel, the first hippie, the first slacker—and we are told to lay down our nets and follow Him.
In Eagletons telling of the New Testament, Jesus should be read not as a savior but as a political radical. He preached love, but not in the sense that modern audiences understand it—as an intimate, private, unique above-all bond. The love Jesus preached was the revolutionary, humanist, justice is thicker than blood type of love, where the good of all was ranked over the life of the individual. Through Jesuss example, Christians have learned that through great suffering comes great faith, and, according to Eagleton, that humanity must suffer as Jesus did to come into its own. Ditchkins (and liberal rationalists like them) cannot understand faith because they lead easy lives in comfortable suburbia, and thus they reject faith as a whole.
Despite these frequent bouts of illogical causality, bizarre analogies, or stifling academia, Eagleton frames many fascinating questions and puts Christianity into a unique perspective. Sadly, rather than developing this arc further, the book instead becomes uncomfortably political, tying Christianity, radical Islam, atheism, and 9/11 together as a result of confusing faith with law. Eagleton spends much of the book philosophizing about politics, radicals, liberals, postmodernists, and rationalists, deriding capitalism, and using theology as a loose framework around which to hang his musings. The subtitles indication that Eagletons proclamations are reflections on the God debate is accurate; the book offers contemplation and consideration rather than a point-counterpoint discussion of opposing viewpoints.
Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate feels more like a highly educated professor theorizing with his other well-read friends at a pub than a true rebuttal to previously made arguments between science and theology. His points are well taken, but they are often not easily accessible to those outside academia or Marxism. With so many others writing on The God Debate, perhaps some readers should heed the spirit of Eagletons own words: why bother with Robert Musil when you can read Max Weber?

I was riding in the car on a 3 hour trip when about 2.5 hours into the ride I had some strange pains shooting the length of my penis. It seemed to stay form the base to the head and would pulse every so often. I could not even fathom what was going on. I did have a feeling I had to urinate but wasn't holding it in and did not really have to go.
I was using my smartphone map function to help with directions when the pain started. I had to put the phone down and concentrate on breathing, thats all I could do because it hurt that much. It lasted about 15-20 minutes and then seemed to subside and was easier sitting there. When we arrived at our destination I went inside to use the bathroom and was afraid I would only pee blood or something. I was able to go without much pain, some but not bad and no blood that I could tell.
I have never had these types of pains before and have only had some minor pains like this one event for a few seconds at a time over the last 3 days.
If I had to describe the exact pain and what it felt like I would say it felt like the inside of my penis was being constricted around a bunch of tiny razor blades inside my penis. So the constriction and the burning of razors would be my best guess.
I have been treated within the last year for a swollen prostate with a weeks worth of AB(?) and have some recent feelings of it getting larger again.
What the hell is going on with my penis?
Sitting for extended periods, and it could just be once, even if you have sat in that same spot many times before, can impinge some major nerve bundles. And since you have a huge number of nerve endings in your penis, the sensation may register as your penis even though the impingement could be somewhere else.
Think of it like the pins and needles you feel when your arm falls asleep. While the pressure on the nerve may have been in your armpit, you feel the tingling throughout your whole arm, especially your fingertips where there are more nerves, once the signals start getting through.
Anyway, good that you're paying attention, but really difficult to say what the exact cause was. Since you're already receiving some care for an enlarged prostate, make a phone call and mention this episode to your urologist. If he decides you should have an appointment, take it. Otherwise, unless it happens again, my suspicion is that this had more to do with your particular seating at the moment than a chronic problem. If you find differently, please post more.
Anyway, I had the CT scan disk images at my followup appointment. He quickly went thru them and pointed out my different internal organs but did not say anything about any stones. I assume they (stones) are small on the scan and would require a steady scan looking for them. My opinion was he scanned way to fast to see a pin point in the scan, as well as he was looking at other areas. He pointed out my gall bladder for example.
He sent me to the lab to do some blood tests and a 24 hour urine collection. I had to turn in 2 small samples of the collected urine. I have another follow up in a few days I assume to go over the lab test results.
In the mean time the pain has returned on several occasions. Instead of it being centered on the penis, like the first time I noticed it, it now shoots down my scrotum and groin area. I have tried to use the analogy of the hand asleep due to pressure in the armpit. I have tried to find the source of the pain in the penis/scrotum/groin and have come up with the source as possibly being the bladder?
Could my bladder be changing shape/shifting/shrinking which is then causing my urethra to pull back?
Could something be happening with my bladder, like the armpit pressure idea, which causes the pain to radiate down stream and result in me experiencing the pain(s) I am?
Any valid input would be greatly appreciated. As well as any questions I can ask about at my next appointment.
I do drink plenty of water, most of the time.
I get smaller pains a little lower on my right side from time to time but no where near the pain on my left side.
I suggest you see a urologist or nephrologist with the idea of possible kidney stone formation in mind. There is an excellent and vast resource of information at http://www.urologystone.com which may be helpful to you.
Either way, this persistent pain is not acceptable, and perhaps a more eager internist will spend the time with you to help figure out what's really going on.
We will see what comes of that............
In the meantime, I am still concerned as to what is causing this pain in my penis. I have tried to narrow it down to something I eat, exercise, activities, stress, ..... no pattern yet that I can tell of. The pain is almost constant every day it shows up. Sometimes the pain gets so bad I think if it gets any worse I am going to have to take a trip to the ER. (But, really, what can they do for me there???)
I am still loosing weight (down to about a pound or two a week) and eating right. I do also have pains in my mid to lower back area that are NOT muscle pains.
Can I inform the nephrologist of my penis pain and can we get back on track with trying to find that, rather than looking at my other problems (that currently do not harm me) ?
Also consider changing what you're sitting on for a while, like changing from a chair to an exercise ball to see if that makes a difference. It could be nerve impingement, and you might need to see a neurologist, if the uro-docs can't find anything wrong.

$20,000 reward offered for info in Abigail's disappearance
FBI agents ask travelers along the North-South Road in Conway Wednesday if they saw Abigail Hernandez, who was reported walking along the road Oct. 9. DAN SEUFERT
One of hundreds of ribbons made by Carroll County Nursing Home resident Susan Strauch for Abigail Hernandez.
Carroll County Nursing Home resident Susan Strauch, at left, and social worker Lisa Howard show ribbons made by Strauch to help in the search for Abigail Hernandez.
"It's obviously our hope that our reward offer will generate new tips and leads," said Kieran L. Ramsey, an FBI special agent from Boston, in announcing the reward at a 4 p.m. news conference.
Senior Associate Attorney General Jane Young echoed Ramsey's comments.
"Sometimes, unfortunately, money is a motivator for people, and we will use every possible resource in trying to find Abby," Young said.
Anyone with information about her disappearance is asked to call the Conway Police Department at 356-5717, or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL FBI or leave information online at tips.fbi.gov.
Hernandez was last seen leaving Kennett High School at about 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 9. Investigators said there were unconfirmed reports that she was seen about an hour later walking along the North-Sound Road, which begins near the high school about two miles near her home.
Investigators said Hernandez' "previous after-school travel pattern" was to walk that road home every day.
The last time she was heard from, authorities said, was when a friend, identified by family members as Hernandez' boyfriend, Jimmy Campbell, received a text from her at about 2:53 p.m.
Investigators Wednesday asked area residents and businesses to help find the girl's cell phone, a white iPhone in a pink case, which last made contact with a cell tower on Cranmore Mountain at 3:07 p.m.
That contact, Ramsey said, was not a phone call, but was likely the iPhone updating or sending some other data. The iPhone is known to frequently exchange data with a tower, he said, without any actions by its owner.
There were no further data exchanges between the phone and the tower after 3:07 p.m., Ramsey said Thursday.
"Was the phone powered off, or did the battery die, we're not sure," Ramsey said.
At the news conference Thursday, Hernandez' mother, Zenya Hernandez, issued another plea to her daughter, the second she has publicly issued.
"We're not giving up hope. Abby, we miss you," she said. "Stay strong, do not give up."
Previous story follows:
CONWAY — Law enforcement officials gave a timeline of the afternoon Abigail Hernandez disappeared, and made a plea to the public and area businesses to help find the 15-year-old's cell phone, a white iPhone 5 in a deep pink and gray case.
Authorities said she was at school that day, and was seen leaving school wearing black leggings, black boots, and a dark-colored striped sweater, walking through a school field hockey field and an area known as Eagles Way to a power line trail.
She had previously walked that route from school to her home at 86 Village Way, authorities said.
"Abigail's previous after-school travel pattern, confirmed via interviews and security camera videos, was along that route between Kennett High School and her residence," authorities said in a news release.
According to James D. Campbell of Conway, his son, Jimmy Campbell, 14, is Hernandez's boyfriend. Campbell's father said his son last received a text from Hernandez — a heart — in that time frame.
Young would not say what kind of contact was made with the cell tower, and said information about the last cell phone contact came from information gathered by police.
"We are particularly asking businesses in the area to look in their lost and found and around their stores for this phone," Young said.
"But a number of those leads continue to wash out," Ramsey said.
The roadblocks along North-South Highway Wednesday were put in place at the exact time and in the same area that Hernandez was last seen.
"We tried to replicate the time we think she was last seen on the North-South Road," Young said.

The Andover Townsman
---- — The Pioneer Institute, a Boston public policy think tank, issued a report recently on public employee pension funds in cities and towns across the state. It is not a pretty picture.
Public pensions in Massachusetts are woefully underfunded. As of 2010, the total public employee pension obligation — the amount that has been promised to public employees — was $92 billion. But the amount available in public pension funds to meet those obligations is short by nearly $31 billion.
State law requires that public pensions be fully funded by 2040. If the rate of return from pension fund investments does not meet their often overly rosy forecasts, taxpayers will be left to make up the difference.
The problem stems from the "promise them anything" mentality in negotiating labor contracts with public employees. When one set of public employees — the municipal leaders — is negotiating with another set — the unions — who is looking out for taxpayers' interests?
Then, having given away the store at the bargaining table, elected leaders betray the public again by failing to set aside the money necessary to cover the cost of their extravagant promises.
Andover's pension system received a composite grade of "D" because it was only 50 percent funded last year and the town says it will need until 2040 to fully fund it, according to the report.
Next door, Lawrence, where the pension shortfall is $204 million, is listed as the third worst of the 105 public pension systems in the state, earning a grade of "F." Lawrence has just 39 percent of what it needs to cover its obligations. Only Springfield and Everett are worse.
These pension shortfalls are a sword hanging over the heads of taxpayers. If the economy remains stagnant or worsens, the rates of return on investments on which these projections depend may not pan out. This system is unsustainable and may drive some municipalities into bankruptcy. Taxpayers cannot continue to foot the bill for such irresponsibility.

The U.S. Air Force's point man on ISR expects to deliver architectures for the future of ISR to Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh by this summer.
"As we look to the future it's more and more about handling the data," Lt. Gen. Larry James told the audience at a Thursday morning event hosted by the Air Force Association. "You may have all this data coming at you, but you need to have the tools that allow you to do something with that data."
James said that roadmap will likely involve moving towards an open architecture that includes non-proprietary software. "We're building a roadmap for DCGS. That's about 80 percent complete. We expect to have that complete for [Welsh's] signature this summer."
Guidance on how data is analyzed will be due around the same time.
"Analysts just can't handle terabytes of data coming at them every day," James said. "So the other roadmap is that analytic roadmap- what are those tool sets that we need to go out and find the data, to fuse the data together, to tag the data and create a product that the analyst can then use more efficiently and effectively."
"That roadmap is well on its way, [and will] probably be up to the chief in late May or early June that lays out what are the analytics we need to invest in and develop in order to handle all this data," he said.
The need for a new, comprehensive architecture stems from the "stovepipe" nature of how ISR programs were developed across the DoD, according to James. But that doesn't mean the various ISR branches of the military are not coordinating.
"I believe the relationship between the senior intel officers among the services has never been better," James said.
James, who plans to retire in June, took some time to look back at his tenure as Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance.
"If you look back over the last year, we truly have accomplished amazing things in the Air Force ISR community," he said, before stating that USAF flew 128,000 manned ISR hours. That was divided into about 1,700 hours for the U-2, 9,400 hours on the Rivet Joint aircraft and over 100,000 hours for the MC-12.
During a question and answer session, James indicated that the ISR mission in Africa could expand in the future, based on need.
"Broadly speaking, as we continue to look at ... that continent, the demand for ISR will be there," James said. "So yes, over the recent past it has expanded, and depending on how the threat evolves and how much we want to go after that threat, it could expand int he future. ISR is absolutely key to continued operations."

A week after a fire tore through historic Hubbard Hall, the cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
County and state fire investigators have determined the structure is too dangerous to enter and are awaiting removal of the charred pieces to finish their work.
Essex County Emergency Services Director Donald Jaquish said the partially collapsed slate roof, its support structure and weight-bearing walls are damaged throughout the building
"All that weight is now down onto the first and second floor. If you move things, you could have a collapse. We know the floor had to be reinforced several years ago, and we don't know the condition of supports underneath."
The next option is for the owner's insurance company to move in with heavy equipment and start taking what is left of a sprawling, three-story building apart in pieces.
"It is structurally too unsound for anybody to go in and start digging or moving anything," Jaquish said Tuesday.
"We would have to have heavy crane equipment to take it down layer by layer, and the county is not going to do that, at this point.
"The next option was for the owner's insurance company to undertake the investigation. And apparently they don't want to pay for the heavy equipment. It's their decision, not ours."
The building has been posted by the Town of Elizabethtown Code Enforcement Office, pending an order by the Town Council to require the owner to take it down and remove the debris.
Thus far, investigators have not determined the cause of the fire.
"At some point, they will be taking the building down, and when they do that, we will send someone in," Jaquish said.
"It could be accidental or it could be deliberate, we don't know," he said of the cause. "We're still conducting an investigation, doing the normal background checks we usually do.
"I'm sure the insurance company will take a statement from the owner. We'll wait until the building has to be taken down by a contractor, and we'll be there when they do it."
Essex County tax records indicate the owner, Jeffrey M. Langford has not paid taxes on the Hubbard Hall property since April 24, 2006.
Five consecutive years remain unpaid, totaling $42,023.76 owed.
The building was assessed for $197,600 in 2006, the last year taxes were paid.
In 2007, according to Essex County's tax database, the assessment for Hubbard Hall rose to $254,300; in 2008, to $328,000; and in 2009, to $346,000.
Hubbard Hall was for sale at the time of the fire, listed at $329,000.
Langford lives out of state. Realtors said he has a residence in Arroyo Grande, Calif., though no phone number is listed for him there. The Press-Republican has been unable to contact him.
Darleen March, broker at Adirondack Country Realty, where the property was listed, said Langford is coming to Elizabethtown this week.
"I imagine he has to see it first, then he has to determine whether it becomes an empty lot or if he's going to rebuild."
Elizabethtown Town Supervisor Noel Merrihew has been helping coordinate a community effort to find space for some eight businesses displaced by the fire.
Adequate office space is available in Elizabethtown, he said, and most businesses have begun the process of relocation.
Ophthalmologist Dr. Duncan Winter and his new partner, Dr. Daniel Litwicki, will continue to service the Elizabethtown area, his business manager Delphine Winter said via e-mail.
"In the future and during this transition, we can see any scheduled patients in our Saranac Lake or Ticonderoga offices. Patients should call our main office at 891-5189 to schedule alternative appointments."
Business documents from tenant companies and damaged files sit amid charred rubble and scorched beams at Hubbard Hall, awaiting retrieval.
St. Joseph's Rehabilitation Center occupied parts of the first and second floor, and employees are waiting for clearance to re-enter.
"The only contact that we've had is with the fire investigator," St. Joseph's spokesman Jim Grant said Tuesday.
"Our records are backed up, and whatever paper records we have were in the basement. We're waiting for the go-ahead to go in and retrieve them."
Jaquish said removal of records is the responsibility of the insurance company.
"I know it's an issue, but it has to be done safely and properly. The insurance company of the building's owner is responsible for making the building safe to the public."
Firefighters were called to a rekindle at Hubbard Hall over the weekend.
The structure may still have hot embers insulated by debris, Jaquish said.

Belladonna Elders Series #4
Tribute to Emma Bee Bernstein
Emma Bee Bernstein,
Susan Bee, Marjorie Perloff,
and Nona Willis Aronowitz
Belladonna Books ($15)
by Ellen Kennedy Michel
Rarely has a book been published with as immediate and tragic a backstory as the fourth in the Elder Series published by Belladonna Books, now titled a Tribute to Emma Bee Bernstein. Daughter of poet Charles Bernstein and artist Susan Bee, Emma Bee Bernstein took her own life, at the age of 23, on December 20, 2008, inside the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the day after sending her mother her contribution to the book.
Conceived nine months earlier, the concept for this Belladonna selection grew out of a panel presentation at the Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, Beyond the Waves: Feminist Artists Talk Across the Generations. There, Emma held her own among artists and critics Carolee Schneemann, Mira Schor, Brynna Tucker, and Susan Bee. Having grown up at the epicenter of the contemporary American avant-garde, with parents who disrupted fixed boundaries between visual arts and language, its no wonder that Emma became a collaborator with elders. She also became a defender of her own generation, wondering what is left for it to do and what forms its feminism will take.
Emmas closest collaborator was journalist Nona Willis Aronowitz, who is also the daughter of intellectual, critical-minded parents, the late Ellen Willis and Stanley Aronowitz. After the death of Ellen Willis from cancer in November 2006, Emma and Nona began to imagine a project that would let them take responsibility for the legacy we inherited: to keep the memory of our mothers, and feminism, alive. Motivated, too, by the desire for change, discovery, travel, and adventure, they set out from Chicago in a 98 Chevy Cavalier shortly after graduating from college, with laptops, lists of names, and money saved from waitress and hostess jobs. (We worked all summer at crappy jobs to do this, Nona explains in the book. At the GIRLdrive FAQ she puts it more bluntly: we worked our butts off at shitty jobs for almost a year in order to hit the road. No book deal, trust fund, or doting parent picked up the tab. Just sayin'.)
For two intense months Emma and Nona interviewed and photographed over 200 women—most of them young and urban, some of them mentors—and recorded their journey at girldrive.blogspot.com. Their aim was to write a book containing answers to four (appropriately Jewish) questions: Do you consider yourself a feminist? Do you see your life through the eyes of being a woman, or does gender figure into your daily experience? What issues are the most burning or pressing for you, whether in your life or in the world at large? What would you like to see for the future of women?
Belladonna Elders Series #4 has a swiftness and immediacy, and not only because it was hastened into print in Emmas memory. It stands out boldly from others in the Belladonna Elders Series, white text artifacts also designed by HR Hegnauer, marked with cover photos of the deadly nightshade, a cardiac and respiratory stimulant. As an object, it demands attention—its cover, a brightly colored painting by Susan Bee titled Lost in Space, depicts a black leather-clad superwoman resisting the grip of a one-eyed octopus. The back cover, Susan Bees Future, features an altered vintage image of three girls in short black skirts, sweaters, ties, and butterfly wings. They stand under a banner proclaiming Emmas dictum: Let feminism be an amorphous cloud that floats over womens ideation and visual experience—and that brings us together instead of partitions us off from one another.
This tribute volume also invariably serves as an interim introduction to the GIRLdrive book, due in the fall of 2009 from Seal Press. In her own contribution to Belladonna #4, Emmas Poetry, Nona Willis Aronowitz writes: Emma was always disappointed that GIRLdrive the book could not possibly embody the headiness of GIRLdrive the experience. . . She wanted us to be more conspicuous characters in the story of GIRLdrive, more than just the talking heads of the odyssey that forged connections between hundreds of women across thirty-five cities. Nonas prose, both here and elsewhere, conveys the energy and intelligence of GIRLdrive. The two women knew how to seize the moment, identifying the gaps and the overlaps between their forebears and feminists (or not) of their own generation.
Especially in its aftermath, its possible to wish GIRLdrive had also been a film project or even a reality show, capturing its on-the-road headiness. Its ambition was vast, leaving Emma wanting more. In an essay on her loss, Susan Bee reveals that a serious car crash after the GIRLdrive trip left Emma with injuries that may have contributed to a sense of desperation in her final moments. She was also in an artistic space charged with notoriety and intergenerational drama: the Guggenheim houses some of the works of artist Pegeen Vail, daughter of Peggy Guggenheim and painter Laurence Vail, who killed herself in 1967 after more than a dozen attempts—a fact that couldnt have escaped Emmas attention.
There is something undeniably heartbreaking about this book. Poets, artists, feminists, friends and relatives of Emma, her brother Felix, and of course her parents, have been sharing memories and collective grief, trying to come to terms with the implications of her death. Charles Bernsteins blog has a prominent In Memorium link that includes words from her funeral service. Mourners note that Emma held a place of unusual privilege and promise in the art world, having been recognized as precocious while still young. Her remarkable elders encouraged her, finding value in her observations and images. And yet she sensed acutely the double bind of her own generation, arguing that they have been robbed of the time to reflect: These are not the good ol days and we know it . . . That reality check followed our whole road trip . . . They had it so easy is a popular refrain of Gen. Y. We are bitter and jaded. The idea of carving out time in your youth for self-discovery and exploration is as outdated as rainbow ponchos and love-ins. Later, she writes: Many of us no longer are given a chance to make moves in life that arent documented, that dont only function as a stepping stone to something else. We couldnt even think of taking this road trip unless it took the form of an ambitious project!
Like Mary Shelley before her (crossing the Alps on a donkey with Percy Bysshe Shelley and half-sister Claire, the three of them reading aloud from the works of Marys parents, Mary Wollstonecraft and William Godwin), Emmas work spins from a fascination with the social pioneers of her parents generation, as well as her sense of aesthetic entitlement, urgency, and legacy. She wanted to be meaningful too, and knew she had it in her. In a piece Emma contributed to Feminist Art: A Reassessment (edited by Susan Bee and Mira Schor) she argued for
Griselda Pollocks plea for sustained creativity rather than novelty for noveltys sake, non-Oedipal models that cause respect rather than rebellion in genealogies, for a feminist future that we live beside not below, the right to say WHO I am, not WHAT I am, to have feminism conflated with the feminine, for the feminine and masculine to be understood as metaphors, symbols, tools, that create positive dimensional action in all sexes, that the symbolic gesture of maternity be an art world ethos where artists can rear the next generation without having to claim anything in return.
That breathless, theoretically compressed sentence actually goes on: the plea above begins and ends with semi-colons. It demonstrates how cognizant Emma was at an early age of the issues and specifics of American feminism, within broader social, philosophical, and artistic efforts. In Belladonna #4 you can imagine her frustration during a conversation with poetry critic Marjorie Perloff, whom she and Nona interviewed on October 27, 2007, in her Palisades, California, home. Chatting with Marjorie in her huge living room, surrounded by books, there was a voluminous weight to her contribution before she even began, Emma explains. The young women bristle when Perloff claims that middle-class women are plagued by endless side issues, boutique issues. Are body image and self-image issues boutique? they ask, fresh from conversations that unsettled that perspective.
The Perloff interview—which has the immediacy and familiarity of an argument among affectionate, exasperated relatives—dramatizes the paralysis and discomfort a young person might feel while trying to chart her future on the basis of advice from elders. At one point Perloff, who is now in her seventies, says:
When I got my PhD you could get jobs just like that because there werent all these people competing . . . its probably not a good idea to encourage young people to become artists. Why does everybody need to be an artist, and what shall we do with all these artists? There are too many artists, too many poets. Sometimes I think that if I hear about yet another new poet, Ill shoot myself, even though Im the one who writes on poetry. What does this glut of so-called poets and artists do for society?
This is from someone who, in theory, is rooting for these girls. (Perloff offers a written-in-hindsight postscript in the book.)
Nothing tires a vision more than sundry attacks, it says on one of Susan Bees collages illustrating the text, where recontextualized phrases mark the ambivalence roused by its subjects. Nona and Emma also interviewed Susan Bee, who speaks openly about her own struggles with artistic identity; as the daughter of artists Miriam Laufer and Sigmund Laufer, Bee also inherited the challenge of artistic differentiation and succession. She reflects on her new role as bereft mother: Rather than having Emma to carry on my legacy and to help me care for my parents artworks—as I expected—I am now responsible for her artistic legacy.
In her own prose contribution, Emma notes how difficult it is to settle comfortably into one ideological zone. When recounting her interview with Perloff, she writes: Her answers threw us for a loop, and my eyes widened with delight at her frankness and willingness to go against the grain. I am a feminist practically speaking, but I have no interest in feminist art or literature, she told us. This is one of many moments I wish I could see on film, the better to decode the irony, ambiguity, and inflection of the younger womens discomfort and delight. Its the delight—and now the despair—in Emma that may have thrown her elders for a loop.

It is clear from Belladonna #4 that feminism, photography, and artistic expression have lost a fierce, articulate, forthright, inquiring practitioner, the voice and vision of a young adult who was romantic, idealistic, impetuous, talented, and knowledgeable beyond her years. Her pace was fast, eager, and self-reflective. Emmas photography (for which she earned a degree with Honors, with images such as the one here, of a friend) played with the notion of masquerade: In all of the photographs, a set of elusive and unknowable eyes peers out from the layers of artifice, trying to see and be seen. There is a tragic element, as despite all the attempts at engendering an image that matches a mental picture, the woman underneath the clothes and behind the skin remains a mystery to us and to herself. That Emma suffered so much at the end of her life confers a harder look at the issues that consumed her.
The final essay is by editors Emily Beall, HR Hegnauer, Erica Kaufman, and Rachel Levitsky. They note that Emma raised critical and urgent questions through her vivid, pointed expression of the dire effects the speeding up of time and the narrowing of space (despite the expanding virtual field) have had on her own generation. Their hope is that the work will provide a way to pick up the challenging matters Emma testifies to—of continuity and disruption, speed and anxiety, and the communal limits of virtual life.
Meanwhile, Nona Willis Aronowitz continues to push GIRLdrive forward, inhabiting the virtual world, twittering, visiting cities, giving talks, and calling for more time to expand and diversify the project: As soon as I finish the manuscript, I plan to start plotting a GIRLdrive.org, she writes. I would love for GIRLdrive to have mentoring programs, funding for women doing similar projects, or anything else that seems right.
And then there are these words—Emmas—belying her now posthumous fame: Retrace your route in reflection, but look only as far as the blur of the passing yellow lines to see the present. Race your future to the finish line.

Twins Daily Comment Policy - latest revision September 2013Twins Daily prides itself on the community of fans it serves, and understands that the forums, comment sections and blogs are central to many members' enjoyment of the site. We strive for civil, insightful, friendly discourse that welcomes and challenges all our passionate readers. Please understand and follow these rules when posting, and consult the more detailed explanations in the comments section below if you require further guidance:This thread includes comments and elaboration from the TD moderators. TD members are welcome to comment by posting here.
Twins Daily Comment Policy
- Respect for others is expected in everything we write, and personal attacks are not allowed.
- Do not be disruptive through trolling, flame-baiting, and thread-jacking.
- A minimal level of grammar and spell-checking is required.
- Avoid inappropriate language.
- Do not copy entire stories from elsewhere on the internet.
- Commercial spam will be deleted on sight and the poster will be banned.
- If you see a posting that violates these guidelines, do not attempt to police the thread yourself with a complaint there in the thread, and most definitely do not respond with a post of your own in a similar offensive style; either action may draw moderator actions toward yourself instead of your intended target. Instead, if you believe it is a serious violation, flag the offending post to the attention of the moderators by clicking on the small icon shaped like a triangle with an exclamation point in it. If it is a minor violation, it is better to just ignore it. Appropriate action by the moderators in response to a flagged post may take some time; in the meantime just ignore the post in question, as well as anyone else's ill-considered responses to it. And remember that an unchecked violation of TD policies does not mean it is suddenly open season.
- Moderators have the capability and authority to edit or delete offending posts, and issue warnings which are sent via the site's Private Messages (PM) system, and when necessary Infraction points may be recorded at that time. If you have received multiple infractions, then any moderator will have discretion to issue a ban, meaning that your posting privileges will be suspended for a period of time; additional infractions (including attempts to circumvent a ban, such as alternate accounts and IP proxies) may subject you to longer bans or a permanent ban. We always prefer to work with members to avoid bans, but will act when the best interests of the site are at stake.
- If you have a question or concerns about these policies, feel free to PM a moderator, and we'll do our best to respond quickly.
glunn, Head Moderator
Thank you for your understanding and commitment to Twins Daily.
Last edited by ashburyjohn; 07-02-2014 at 09:46 PM. Reason: Make the intro less time-specific
(Note: this and the comments that follow elaborate on each of the items in the Comment Policy. The intent is to help clarify the meaning - NOT to try and define exactly where the boundaries are. When in doubt, stick with the simple statements in the main policy statement, and try very hard to avoid probing the limits.)
1. Respect for others is expected in everything we write, and personal attacks are not allowed.
This means respect for fellow TD members. It means also showing respect for players, team staff and ownership, journalists, the other teams and their players, player agents, players' wives… everybody!
It means giving others the benefit of the doubt; it means not being combative, nor looking to take offense at someone else's supposed "tone"; it means not labeling other posters or groups of people; it means turning the other cheek even when we feel we're not being treated with respect ourselves. If your purpose in posting is to belittle someone, think twice.
We talk about what has occurred with our favorite team and players, we debate past moves and speculate on future actions, we dissect ideas, we sometimes make jokes and kid each other. But it crosses a line when it becomes overly personal - questioning manhood, courage, honesty or intelligence, or pretending you know how another person's mind works, or telling somebody to learn baseball. Again, the line is crossed whether it is about a fellow TD member, or about someone in the public eye.
It's much easier to be accidentally disrespectful to another member when you make it be *about* another member. That doesn't mean it's always wrong to address someone else personally; part of the fun of the site is the sense of community, and we can also joke with each other if it's not likely to be misinterpreted. But when in doubt or when it's contentious, just stick to the topic under discussion, because there's usually plenty to say anyway.
And sometimes it is difficult to separate the person from the subject being discussed. Maybe someone's opinion is truly stupid or laughable; it's still better to say "I disagree because..." rather than "that's stupid/laughable because...". Trying to maintain that "I said the idea was idiotic, not that you are idiotic" is too fine a line to maintain in a thread with multiple posters and hundreds of readers.
Affecting an air of superiority when you are certain that the other party is totally mistaken is not only contrary to TD policy, it rarely has the desired persuasive effect anyway; keep the discussion to the facts as you see them, when you feel the urge to assert yourself.
The opposite of respect might be "contempt". Here is an illuminating 3+ minute audio essay by a relationship counselor on that topic. While it is aimed toward helping couples, the overlap to posting in a public forum like TD should be evident:
Here is another essay by this counselor, on "emotional intimidation". It too is aimed toward couples, and is aimed even more toward the physical cues in interactions, but the part about bullying contains several nuggets that also apply surprisingly well to a written forum, such as getting caught up in the intensity:
The hard part is recognizing yourself in these descriptions; as this counselor states at one point, "who ever calms down when they're told to calm down?"

2. Do not be disruptive through trolling, flame-baiting, and thread-jacking.
A good forum thread often contains digressions, indeed they may be the most interesting or illuminating parts of a given discussion. And a negative opinion is not necessarily more disruptive than a positive one.
- inserting a pet idea into thread after thread, or
- casting in a negative light everything someone says and does, or
- making comments destined to revisit standard arguments, or
- contributing one-line comments that add nothing but question everything, or
- making excessive use of sarcasm to slam anyone or to overstate their position, or
- posting that the subject of the thread itself is not worth discussing, or
- making an extreme case for your side and/or putting up a straw man for the other side and/or putting words in someone else's mouth, or
- harping about one small point, or
- turning a small-scale discussion into an overly broad one, or
- aggressively defending against a perceived slight, or
- getting in someone's face about something, or
- making it your mission in life to educate your inferiors, or
- reminding readers that you correctly predicted some outcome, months ago, and others happened to disagree, or
- bringing up someone's words from another thread as though a judge and jury were weighing your evidence about this other poster
...these do not contribute to a lively discussion and instead cause participants to at best tune out or in many cases bicker pointlessly, often talking past one another.
If your post is becoming more about another TD member than about the topic, consider using the Private Messaging feature of TD instead - or better still, consider it a good point to stop bickering and just let it go. When in doubt about introducing a tangent, consider instead starting a new blog entry or thread topic, and invite readers of the current thread to come discuss your tangent over there. Or, if the topic of the discussion doesn't appeal to you, or you think it is irrelevant until all other larger issues have been resolved - well, life is short! Just move on to something you consider more constructive.
Interrupting a thread with discussion of forum moderation also constitutes thread-jacking. If you have specific concerns about moderator actions, PM one of the moderators civilly instead, as we are more than willing to discuss this with you. Or if you wish to publicly discuss the moderation at Twins Daily and help us improve the site, feel free to create a thread in the "Questions About MinnCentric" forum and open a discussion. This policy is not an attempt to stifle conversation about moderation; its purpose is to improve baseball-related discussion and prevent thread-jacking.
We remind you to try to ignore what you find distasteful and if you can't, then report it. Please do not try to police offenders yourselves or respond to them publicly. Actions the moderators take in response to reports are sometimes not apparent to the readership at large, but we do take all reports seriously and do our best to take action in an appropriate manner considering all the variables of content, intent and poster history, and not just a single word here and there. In the end you may not agree with or like our actions, or think them 'fair.' At such a point, please, just move on.
Again, feel free to contact any of the moderators should you wish to have a private conversation.

3. A minimal level of grammar and spell-checking is required.
No, we ain't no Grammar Nazis here. And nobody's going to hassle you about a tpyo. (Unless it's inadvertently fanny.) But if it's not worth your time to at least do a proof-reading pass of what you're about to submit, maybe it's not worth your readers' time either. If it looks like it was typed on your phone keypad after one too many adult beverages, it stands a chance of being deleted by the moderators, lol.

4. Avoid inappropriate language.
This includes swearing, lewdness, and crude terms for body parts, bodily functions, and physical acts. This also includes visuals such as avatars and linked images. Certain terms (you can probably guess which) are automatically removed by the posting software - censor-bypass attempts are grounds for moderator action. Please be sensitive to the fact that comments relating to race, gender and sexual identity can be offensive, even when there is no pejorative intent. TD encourages humor, but please consider how someone who doesn't know you might interpret your post. Overall, we don't want content that the FCC wouldn't approve for broadcast - keep it family-friendly.
5. Do not copy entire stories from elsewhere on the internet.
Copyright law gives broad protection to content, and we want to respect that. Be particularly wary of posting more than very short excerpts from pay sites. The TD site software allows you to easily insert, into your post, a link to an article's URL. If you're pulling a quote or an example to give people a taste of a story, or relaying a short Twins-specific note found in a long article about a broader topic, then it is likely "Fair Use" and it's fine to insert the words directly; indeed the author or organization may appreciate the publicity via the URL link. But if you're copying everything because you're too lazy to summarize yourself, then that's not fine.
6. Commercial spam will be deleted on sight and the poster will be banned.
To be clear, cross-promotion of baseball blogs and so forth always has been strongly encouraged. Just make sure your posts contain content of interest to Twins followers, and don't consist merely of "click this link to see my site". Here is a post from one of the site owners explaining more to a fellow blogger:
On a totally separate topic, here is a writeup pertaining to a type of forum thread that differs greatly from the others.
Game Threads
We believe the daily game threads during the season should be a little more relaxed than the normal thread. Think of sitting in the left-field bleachers with a few friends and acquaintances - people have a tendency to just chat and crack jokes during boring games or down times, and that's okay - we want you to stick around, even if you really have nothing to say. Deep discussions and extended back-and-forths may get made fun of here. Civility is still the rule, but a little more is tolerated. Okay: short posts, off-topic conversation, PG-rated joking with one another. Not Okay: hurtful posts, blatant rule violations, or being a grouch.

TD moderators sometimes invest considerable time composing messages to fellow site members. Here are a few recent ones, edited slightly into short essays, on the subject of contributing respectfully. They seemed worth sharing more widely.
I wish you could just make your point without characterizing the other poster in the process.
- Report,
- ignore,
- walk away,
- or respectfully rebut.
There are many people on here who will, intentionally or unintentionally, push your buttons. Above are your four options. I know you can 'take care of yourself' in such instances, but doing so creates the problem of 'unenjoyable' reading for others. So, refrain! Be the hero, and let it be.It isn't constructive to argue about whether or not a TD poster's personal opinion trumps that of the Twins. This is an internet site where everyone is entitled to an opinion as long as they are respectful; people are well within their rights to have differing opinions. Arguing that someone's opinion doesn't matter because they aren't a member of the Twins front office is inherently disrespectful, and isn't a good place to go given that this board has only 1 confirmed member of the Twins front office posting here and this forum is open to the public.Worry about yourself, and less about other posters.

Looking for a gaming laptop
I'm looking to buy a gaming laptop and have been looking at alienware's m14 or m17 or one of IBuyPower laptops like the P150EM. I have seen lots of people say that IBuyPower computers are terrible and that alienware computers are terrible. I don't want to waste my money of a piece of junk so What are youropinion on these companies and which laptop do you recommend or could you recommend any other laptops like ASUS gaming laptops? I also have another question I was doing to searching and i found several other custom gaming PC builders like origin PC, gaming PC, and digital storm. I never heard of these companies. I know about alienware and ibuypower but these others are all new to me. Do these companies make good laptops and can you recommend any others.
I have an Asus g73 series of laptop and it is quite nice. It has a first generation i7, 6gb of ram and 5800 series gpu (cant remember exact one) and I can run just about anything. I got this laptop second hand, the main thing to watch for is cooling. The guy that had it before me did not use a cooling pad and must have had a cat, lots of hair inside the heat sinks. He said he owned it for about 2 years and I have now owned it for about 1 year. The only thing wrong is the touch pad gets a bit weird and stops working. I disabled it and use a wireless mouse with it, the touch pad and buttons are kind of meh in this series anyways. The laptop it self is sturdy and I do everything on this thing from virtual machines to gaming.
A place that I was told to look for laptops was xoticpc.com (http://www.xoticpc.com/).
For the IBuyPower laptop that looks to be a Clevo and generally that brand is good from what I have heard. I personally have not hear much about Alienware since Dell bought them so I cannot help you there. I would recommend something that can take two hard drives, I have a SSD for my os and most used programs and a rotational disk for game installs and everything else. I do more than just game so I need the extra space. It is really nice to boot windows or linux and browse the internet in under 30 seconds.
I hope this helps.

Cumberland Times-News
CUMBERLAND — Rates could rise for customers of the Jennings Run Sanitary Sewer district after phase II of a rehabilitation of the sewer line is completed.
The rate increase, likely of $65 to $70 a year, would be needed to pay back a loan to be taken out for the project, said Mark Yoder, the county's utilities division chief.
Most of the loans for the $1.3 million project will essentially be through grants, because they are eligible for loan forgiveness, Yoder said.
Yoder spoke at Thursday's regular business meeting of the Allegany County Commission on Kelly Road at the county office building. A public meeting is planned March 12 at 7 p.m. in Room 100 of the county office building to discuss the project, Yoder said.
Out of a $1 million loan from the Maryland Department of the Environment, $875,000 is expected to be forgiven, Yoder said.
Users of the system must pay back the remaining money.
The scope of the project can be adjusted to funding availability, said Yoder. Interest rates on these loans are usually very low, about 1 percent for a 30-year term.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has also agreed to fund any needs more than $1 million for the project, Yoder said.
The higher rates could begin in July but it has not been decided whether they will be through a surcharge, based on property taxes or a combination.
Commissioners awarded the project to the low bidder, Excavating Associates of Ellerslie. The work will stretch from Mount Savage to Corriganville.
The county is under a consent order by the MDE to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows during and after heavy rains. The project is part of a long-term plan to meet the requirements of the consent order.
Commissioners also ap-pointed April Willetts, senior vice president of First Peoples Community Federal Credit Union, to fill the vacant position on the Tri-County Council for Western Maryland Revolving Loan Committee.
Edward Taylor Jr., president of Cumberland Historic Cemetery Organization, addressed commissioners during the citizen comment period of the meeting.
Taylor reminded commissioners that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the organization. The organization owns 11 cemeteries in Allegany County and nearby West Virginia, Taylor said.
Taking care of the cemeteries and erecting historical monuments is "an act of mercy which we consider our patriotic duty," Taylor said.

I made this using half and half, and only 1 cup of sugar, and it turned out really well. The ginger is a bit of a shock, although it adds to the taste. The lemon is definitely a good addition.
