A two-day core conference at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library organized by Clark Professors Andrea S. Goldman and Gabriel Piterberg, (UCLA)
Friday, November 16, 20129:30 AM - 5:30 PMWilliam Andrews Clark Memorial Library 2520 Cimarron St.Los Angeles, CA 90018
The Clark and Center core program for 2012–2013 explores responses to crises and upheavals in early modern landed empires, with special focus on the Ottoman and Qing empires. In particular, we will investigate the perceptions of temporary collapses of state power in the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. Detecting tendencies toward moralism and perceived decline in elite discourses and state policies, we will look at the ways such concerns were expressed in the domains of institutional and educational reforms, sexual mores, and cultural representation. We will also examine how social boundaries were both rigidified and contested at such moments of transition. We hope to discern shared patterns across Eurasia as well as trajectories specific to each political entity.
The background for this conference is the sixteenth-century price revolution in Eurasia and the attendant political and social crises of the first half of the seventeenth century. It will focus on two phenomena. The first is the religious movements and discourses of moral purification, which ranged from sexual mores to people's attire when they appeared in the public domain. Papers on this theme will consider whether this may have been a reaction to what Walter Andrews has termed the "age of beloveds." The second phenomenon is the proliferation of literatures of decline, in which bureaucrats and intellectuals tried to diagnose what was wrong with their states and societies, and to prescribe solutions accordingly. Papers on this topic will go beyond the limitations of content analysis and positivist reading, and will consider its social, literary and rhetorical dimensions.

"Everything was perfect about this card... Colors, design, photo and paper quality... It was flawless. I ordered the cut-out design and it was gorgeous! I only gave 4 stars for delivery because I wish the production time was a little quicker, but overall this is a great product from a great company! Would highly recommend to anyone!"
"We found this card perfect for the announcement of my granddaughter Averey. It allows for photos on the back as well. It is super adorable and current for today. Love!"
"This card is lovely in its simplicity. You have the option to remove the large letter in the corner, to put the focus more on the baby. I adapted this as a Baptism invitation and it worked out very well. I had it printed on the "pearl shimmer" paper and the subtle shimmer was a very pretty touch. (It wasn't overwhelming, just a soft shimmer)"
"I highly recommend this card for a sibling introduction. I received so many compliments from family and friends. They loved the way my 2 1/2 year old son introduced his new baby sister!! Very unique and adorable!! No complaints."
"So sweet! Announcements turned out beautifully. The colors in person are even better than on screen. Very sweet and simple. We used the "vintage" effect offered on our photo and it seemed to enhance the style of the whole announcement. Also shipping arrived faster than on conf receipt! Whole experience was five stars!"

Court records: Aurora Fire Credit Union president gambled away thousands
By Dan Campana For The Beacon-News November 29, 2012 3:14PM
Anne Schaal
Updated: January 1, 2013 6:28AM
GENEVA — Former Aurora Firefighters Credit Union President Anne Schaal admitted in her divorce settlement that she spent $580,000 in marital assets on a gambling addiction she hid from her husband of 46 years, according to court records.
Schaal, who served as credit union's president from 1996 to 2011, made the admission in July as her marriage ended and other legal trouble loomed. Schaal's husband filed for divorce in May.
"Anne acknowledges and admits that she became addicted to gambling during the marriage, kept such gambling activity and addiction from (her husband), and absconded with at least $580,563 in marital funds which she used to go gambling," states the settlement document, which was filed in September.
Schaal is also being sued by the credit union. The lawsuit was in court for a brief hearing on Thursday. Neither Schaal, who has denied the suit's allegations, nor her attorney were in court.
Although the divorce records offer a brief glimpse into the money trouble in Schaal's personal life, there is no direct stated connection to the two other ongoing court cases stemming from allegations she misused credit union money for her personal use. Prosecutors charged Schaal in September with felony theft and unlawful use of a credit card related to approximately $35,000 in misappropriated credit union funds.
Officials with the Kane County State's Attorney's Office and Aurora police said they could not comment on the Schaal's case, or whether possible ties to gambling, because it is pending.
Schaal's legal issues began in April when the credit union accused her of posting phantom payments to a general and personal credit union accounts, taking cash and using the union's credit card for personal expenses, among other things, the lawsuit states. Additionally, she failed to make a required tax filing on the credit union's behalf, which cost the credit union around $13,400, and made an error related to member credit cards that required the credit union to refund money to some members, the suit alleges. The credit union, which offers membership to firefighters and their families, previously said it had spent $70,000 to investigate financial irregularities. Credit union officials contacted Aurora police in late 2011, according to court documents.
The civil suit resumes in January, by which time some depositions should be completed, an attorney for the credit union told the judge. Schaal's criminal case also resumes in January.

"Survivor Skydives to Spite Hitler"
Zev and I were both raised Jewish. Neither of us really practices or does anything religious anymore other than occasionally to please our parents, but our families are Jewish, so there's a definite connection there.
Zev's parents practice Kabbalah. My dad's what you might call an Anti-Semitic Jew, but my mom has strong feelings about her religion and thinks about viagra tablet weight going to temple a lot… in no small part because her parents, my grandparents – Harry and Jean Grundman – were in various concentration camps, including Auschwitz, during World War II. Both obviously survived those horrors and have gone on to raise a family and live long and productive lives.
Anyway – the point is that that's our connection to this story, about an 85 year-old Jewish man who also survived World War II and recently went skydiving as one last "Screw You" to Hitler.
It's about adventure and positivity, 2 things we'll try to stress the importance of here on our blog, if not in our lives.
Here's the link. It's a pretty cool story.

Take a gander at the new Burton Custom Snowboard and Burton Malavita Bindings. I took them out for a spin at Alpine Meadows, in Tahoe. It was a super fun set up that is great for everyday ripping.
The board is from the Restricted line so it has the fun naked chick graphic. It was the Regular camber, so it was very responsive and great at high speeds. The Custom never ceases to amaze year after year, it is consistently one of my favorites.
I put a pair of Burton Malavita's on this setup. I really liked the bindings lightweight and responsive. These were the EST model which really gives the board a smooth flex. They have a super comfortable asymmetrical heel strap, that gives you some more support on the inside of your ankle. Loved the bindings for sure.

Last night at about 9:15 ET, I received an email from a Mississippi State fan wondering how Rick Stansbury still has a job. A quick check of the scoreboard and, yep, Mississippi State had indeed dropped its game with Akron last night.
At home.
By 10 points, 68-58.
In front of an announced crowd of less than 5,000.
"They came in here and they were better than us in every area and we tried to get our guys to understand just how good they were," Stansbury said afterward. "I never felt like, from the get-go, we were ever in control of the game — ever. I thought we were a step slow and they were quicker to every loose ball."
None of that will sit well with what's quickly becoming an apathetic fanbase.
As Brandon Marcello points out in The Jackson Clarion-Ledger, this is now the third straight season in which MSU has lost to a mid-major foe at home before December. In fact, over the past four seasons the Bulldogs have lost games to Florida Atlantic, East Tennessee State, Rider, Richmond, Western Kentucky, Charlotte, Southern Illinois, Miam of Ohio, South Alabama and San Diego (twice).
Stansbury is entering his 14th season as the skipper at State. As Georgia's Mark Richt has found out in football, SEC coaches start to wear out there welcome after about 10 seasons.
Stansbury's teams have also been less successful of late. From 2002 through 2005, MSU reached four consecutive NCAA Tournaments. Since '05, the Bulldogs have gone to the Big Dance just twice and they've missed out each of the last two seasons.
While State has averaged 20.5 wins over the last six seasons, they've also averaged 13 losses. And losses stick in the memory longer than wins do.
On top of all that, Stansbury used up a good bit of capital by signing Renardo Sidney when others were backing away. The big man sat for one year as the NCAA sorted out his pre-MSU dealings. Then he looked overweight and lazy for much of last season. He also bickered with teammates, openly fought with one on national TV, and tweeted criticisms of his coach.
This offseason, Sidney dedicated himself to being a better, more fit teammate. But during the final 4:29 of last night's game he was not on the court for the Bulldogs.
"We were trying to fight from behind defensively," the coach said when asked why Sidney was on the bench. "They went small. You knew the answer to that."
If you're looking for positives, Stansbury's teams often start slow and finish fast. There's no better coach in the conference when it comes to prepping his team for SEC Tournament play.
But at some point, Stansbury's going to dig himself a hole he can't climb out of… and it could be that Year 14 will be the season when it happens.

We were just sitting in our cubes at Transworld and decided we should drive north. Our excuse was to go to the Tim Brauch Memorial contest in San Jose and we would stop off along the way and skate some parks. Sounds great but nobody wants to see some crusty old men skate so we brought along some guys that people do want to see. Tom "Grom" Remillard , Wes Kremer, Tyler Surrey , Jackson Pilz from Australia and special guest Raven Tershay who we picked up in Santa Cruz. The plan was to stop at Powell in Santa Barbara and meet up with Chad Bartie and Rob Washburn and get some fresh urethane and Swiss bearings, then check out the Santa Barbara park. After we skated the SB park, Aaron Astorga told us about this barrier spot we could check out on our way to Santa Cruz—thanks Aaron for heads up. Next stop, Santa Cruz. Stay tuned.—Joe Picciolo

D-backs release Brad Bergesen
According to MLB on Fox reporter Ken Rosenthal, the D-backs and Bergesen came to an agreement to allow the right handed pitcher to enter free agnecy in order to sign a one-year deal with Japan's Chunichi Dragons.

He would have been arbitration eligible for a second straight season and had been a non-tender candidate with a projected salary of $1 million.

A great Pub to drink in. – Gallagher's is a great pub. They have friendly efficient bartenders every time, and tasty Irish pub food. I recommend going to the bar to order the wait staff service is a bit slower. They have a good variety of music, mostly punk rock, almost every night. They crowd there is usually pretty diverse and laidback, but they do get the occasional pub brawl. The security staff is great at handle those situations, so no worries about it.
The cover is no more than $5 most the time so its worth a look.

By Al

I can blend it with soft foods that are good for my dog which he doesn't like and he will eat the soft food because of the lamb lung crushed inside.

Monday, May 23, 2011 - We Invite You to "Camp" at MTD
Summer is here and the building and parking lots are much quieter than usual, but there is still music in the air. In addition to the university's summer semester classes, the department is offering a variety of summer camps and intensives designed to help young people and adults improve technique and performance in the discipline they are passionate about.
The camps started early. In April Bret Hoag led the first ever Guitar Day, and in May renowned jazz violinist and OU alum Regina Carter joined OU faculty, including jazz program coordinator Miles Brown, and the OU Jazz Quartet in two days of combo rehearsals, listening classes and more at the Jazz Workshop. The camp concluded with a free concert.
And there is much more to come. From June 20 through June 24, OU's strings faculty and Music Prep Division will offer a
Summer Strings Camp
filled with chamber music rehearsals, theory classes, performance opportunities, and workshops, covering such areas as improvisation and active listening. The camp is especially designed for middle and high school students, ages 12-17, with an intermediate to early advanced skill level.
Music Prep director Bibienne Yu says, "I think the big benefit for students participating in this camp is that they will be able to get new perspectives and new inspirations at their instruments during the less busy summer months. With improvisation and international strings explorations, we are sure to ignite the students' love of creativity. These elements will enhance the musicianship they'll be gaining from our faculty members on a daily basis, through chamber group and strings orchestra rehearsals. And students will have a valuable experience of college life for that one week."
Next up will be the annual
Great Lakes Dance Festival
, held this year from July 11 through July 22. Classes will be offered in ballet, jazz, contemporary technique, and yoga, and students will have opportunities to work with gifted choreographers on dances from their current repertory. This year's guest teachers include Jay Kim, who had a fourteen-year international dance career before turning to teaching in 2004; Matthew Farmer, who is currently the Co-Artistic Director of RusticGroove Dance Co. and the Head of Dance at Anderson University in Indiana University; and OU Dance alum Alexis DeCapua who is the Captain and Choreographer of the Detroit Pistons' "Automation" Dance Team.
The festival offers an unparalleled opportunity for teachers, professional dancers, and students over the age of sixteen not only to improve their skills but to experience college life. Dancers may stay on-campus if they choose, allowing out-of-town and even out-of-state students to attend and participate.
Music Prep is offering two workshops in July. From July 18 through 22, students ages 12 -18 may enroll in
Musicianship Workshop: Theory, Piano, and Composition
. Each day attendees will spend the first hour developing their musical ears through sight-singing and notation experiences, the second hour on building basic piano skills, and the third hour working on a composition. Each student will compose a theme and up to two variations of that theme, written in the style of Mozart for one or two instruments. Knowledge of music notation is required, and a basic understanding of music theory concepts will be helpful.
Creative Computer Music Composition
will be offered from July 25 to 29. No previous knowledge of music software programs is necessary, although some understanding of basic music theory concepts will be helpful. Students ages 12 -18 will explore computer music composition using a variety of computer software programs, such as Garageband. Students will be introduced to concepts such as composing with the computer, editing a composition, sequencing sounds, and recording live music. Students will create their own musical composition and since many of the programs learned in the workshop are free web-based tools, students will be able to continue working with these programs at home.
These two composition workshops will be taught be Jenine Brown, who plays violin and piano, and sings alto in her church choir. However, Jenine is primarily a music theorist and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in music theory at the Eastman School of Music. She says her dissertation, "discusses my cognition experiments, which investigate how we learn and remember unfamiliar melodies."
In the workshop Theory, Piano, and Composition, Jenine will teach "model composition." She explains, "Music theory teaches us about the musical language of the major composers. My training at Eastman helped me learn how to write compositions that imitate the music of Bach, Mozart, Schumann, and Chopin, for example. When we create compositions using these composers as our models, we also learn about music theory concepts. For many students, this is a fun and rewarding way to learn. Once we've learned about the musical language of individual composers, students are encouraged to compose in their own unique style."
In Creative Computer Music Composition Jenine says all genres of music will be considered. "We may create pieces that sound more like pop music rather than classical pieces. It will be more of an exploratory class into composing with the computer, and students may compose in a variety of musical styles."
Registration is still open for all these camps. Contact

Cool Henry
This Limited Edition Henry Hoover Desk Vacuum is a cool little gift for my partner for his birthday. He's a sucker for a gadget but I'm still in two minds as to whether it should be next to the PS3 or his PC as a hint to do a bit of cleaning! The union jack one off design is really cool. Forget Rule Britannia, Rule Henry!
Looks good at least!
This Limited Edition Henry Hoover Desk Vacuum looks very good and seems to be of fairly solid construction. With simple battery insertion and instructions. However, the suction was fairly limited, I thought it would be good enough to get the little bits of stuff out of my keyboard! Otherwise it was probably just going to sit on my desk looking cool, so it should do that well.

DALLAS — After beating breast cancer last year, 76-year-old Nancy Killion was looking forward to getting back on the tennis court. However, half-way through her chemotherapy treatments she suffered a stroke and major heart damage.
Dr. Brian Le is the first surgeon in Texas to perform the implant procedure. Click photo to download hi-res image
She subsequently was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy, a condition where the cardiac muscle becomes weakened and enlarged and can't pump enough blood to the rest of the body.
Because of her underlying heart condition, she was at high risk of having sudden cardiac arrest. Killion never dreamed she'd pick up a tennis racket again. But thanks to a new device offered to patients at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, she's feeling optimistic.
"I knew I needed to do something to try and have a normal life again," said Killion. "I don't have much energy these days but I'm hoping that's going to change."
For patients like Killion who are at risk for sudden cardiac death, a subcutaneous implantable-cardiac defibrillator is now an option for treatment. The device, called a major technological advancement in implantable defibrillators, is placed under the fat of the skin and does not touch the heart — making more individuals candidates for implantable defibrillators and reducing the risk of complications.
"She tried a wearable defibrillator that fits like a vest around the chest, but that didn't last long because it was uncomfortable and heavy for her while she regained her strength," said her husband, Charles Killion. "I was always concerned for her when she'd have to take it off because I knew that meant her heart was not monitored. But this device will always be with her."
Physicians say that's one of the potential issues with defibrillation vests worn around the chest: people periodically take them off, for cleaning or to bathe or swim.
"The fact is, we never quite know when sudden cardiac arrest is going to strike," said Dr. Brian Le, cardiologist and director of electrophysiology at Texas Health Dallas. "So the patient is at risk — they're essentially without this life-saving net — whenever it's off."
And traditional implantable defibrillators, while not something patients can take off or deactivate like a vest, aren't options for all patients with heart problems.
The subcutaneous ICD is similar to a traditional defibrillator in that it delivers an electric shock to the heart if it detects abnormal cardiac rhythm. But the new subcutaneous ICD does so without the electrical leads placed directly into the heart.
"In many patients with an ICD the leads are the most common component that could fail," Le said. "Some of the complications from the leads include fracture, insulation failure, and infection. When the leads need to be removed, the adherence of the leads inside the heart creates scar tissue making extractions difficult."
He added that extractions carry the risk of serious complications from cardiac perforation or vascular tear.
The subcutaneous ICD is placed on the left side of the chest just below the arm pit. The device serves as the pulse generator and is connected to a thin electrode which is implanted along the rib cage next to the breastbone. If ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation is detected, the electrode delivers the shock and the subcutaneous ICD then provides post-shock pacing therapy when needed — without direct contact with the heart.
"For patients with a high risk of developing device infection, or they may have vascular access issues such as cancer patients with mediports in their vasculature or dialysis patients with access issues, this new device is a life-saving option," said Le, the first surgeon in Texas to perform the implant procedure. "In fact this device is an option for any patient at risk for sudden cardiac arrest who does not require pacing of the heart due to slow heart rate or special pacing to retune the heart in congestive heart failure."
Katona Martin, 56, another patient of Le's, fits into this category. Since 2001 she's suffered seven heart attacks which left her with only 30 percent of her heart functioning.
"I had a traditional ICD put in on my right side but it became infected so they had to take it out," said Martin, a resident of Kenefic, Okla. "They couldn't make a deep enough pocket on my left side so my only option was the vest defibrillator."
She was transferred from Oklahoma to Texas Health Dallas for this particular device.
While her lifevest provides temporary protection from sudden cardiac arrest, she does admit that it will be more comfortable without the vest and heavy battery pack attached to it.
"I live alone and I know my children worry but I think this device will give them a peace of mind and it'll be so much easier for me," Martin said.
Similar to most new technology these days, Le predicts that the device will continue to become smaller with better battery longevity as the next generations are created.
A recent study in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that the subcutaneous ICDs were effective in shocking patients' heart back into rhythm and had lower rates of complications than traditional ICDs.
"This is truly a paradigm shift in less-invasive long-term treatment option for our patients," said Le. "This technology has been in development over the past 10 years and has now become a reality."

Demo shows HD Radio ready to go with CAP
The 2011 NAB Show set the stage for a news from Global Security Systems, Sage Alerting Systems and iBiquity Digital Corporation, promoting HD Radio as the latest platform for distributing Common Alert Protocol (CAP) EAS audio and text messages.
Using this system CAP-EAS messages are captured on a Sage Digital Endec via GSSNet, satellite data delivery or the Internet, then processed, converted, and pushed out over HD Radio to be heard and/or displayed on compatible HD Radio receivers.
A live demonstration of text delivery verified that HD Radio technology is now compatible with the federally mandated Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS).
On April 6, WTGE-FM in Baton Rouge, LA, broadcast CAP-EAS messages from a satellite downlink over HD Radio for the first time, as CAP EAS messages with text were successfully transmitted and recovered via the station's HD Radio hybrid digital signal.
This latest integration of technologies means EAS messages can now be broadcast through analog AM/FM, textually through ALERT FM's use of Radio Broadcast Data System (RBDS), and via digital audio and text over HD Radio.

Still Serving Veterans (SSV) is empowering Veterans and
their families to optimally transition into post-military lives through
assistance in obtaining all the VA benefits and services they have earned and
deserve, through job-readiness training and connections to Veteran-friendly
businesses that are ready to hire, and through quality referrals to existing
local, state, and national services to ensure that all needs are met.
The Seal of Distinction ("Seal") is a new program based around the Endowment's metric-driven, venture philanthropy model of treating applications from prospective grant recipients like business plans. The award will recognize those organizations in the veteran employment space that have achieved the highest levels of effectiveness and efficiency in placing veterans in jobs. This award will give them an opportunity to showcase their success and access more resources.
A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Still Serving Veterans works to empower Veterans and their families to optimally transition into post-military lives through workforce development, assistance obtaining all the benefits and services they have earned and deserve, and quality referrals to existing local, State, and National services. SSV staff is comprised of Veterans as well as civilians with extensive experience working with Veterans and their families. Staff has daily interactions with Veterans, works with Veteran Businesses, and coordinates employment opportunities with the 450 SDVOBs in Alabama. SSV staff also attends, and are members of, local interagency meetings so that they might address the Health and Human Service needs of Madison County. As a member of the North Alabama Veterans Fraternal Organizations Coalition (NAVFOC), SSV conducts monthly meetings with each agency to communicate the needs of our Veterans in Madison County and beyond. SSV also partners with OneStop Career Centers, The Department of Veteran Affairs, and the local Vet Center whose mission is to provide counseling to Veterans.
This community supported effort is making a significant difference in the lives of our Veteran heroes and their families through one-on-one, caring case management and advocacy focused on maximization of benefits and services, job placement, and career transition. SSV also serves as a proactive clearing house/control center linking Veterans with existing government, public, and private sector support services. In 2013 SSV conducted 5487 one-on-one counseling
sessions for Veterans, helped 173 Veterans secure meaningful new careers,
opened 644 new Veteran cases, and secured over $9.6 million in new benefits, services, and salaries for our Veteran
clients and their families.

Recently we showed you on the OWC Blog that our Thunderbolt cables offer great performance even at lengthy distances.
Tech website TweakTown also ran some tests recently on a variety of Thunderbolt cables from various makers, including OWC's 1 meter offering, to get a head-to-head look at the cables' performance.
Unsurprisingly, OWC's Thunderbolt cable more than held up against the competition.
In fact, TweakTown's Blackmagic Disk Speed Test with a Late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina display showed OWC's cables to be the fastest in both read and write results!
Check out the results from the testing below:

Another week, and another scandal hits the government. I am almost beginning to feel sorry for them... Almost, but not quite!
The latest trouble comes in the form of the lost details of three million learner drivers by a DVLA sub-contractor in Iowa, USA. The details include names, addresses and phone numbers and the US police say the missing hard drive is unlikely to be recovered.
It just serves to underline why we really shouldn't let the government centralize all of our personal data on one big national ID-card database. How long before a disk or hard drive goes missing, or the system gets hacked? How much proof do we need that the government cannot be trusted?
Of course, it hasn't taken the unions long to seize on the fact that it is a private company that has lost the data this time. Apparently such a dreadful lapse would never happen if the public sector was allowed to do the job.
But hang on, who was it that lost the bank details of 25 million people last month? Oh yes, HM Revenue & Customs.
Funny how short the left's memory is...

Ignant: Teen Mob Attacks Dunkin Donuts In NYC!
Description: "- It's like a flash mob gone bad. Security footage from a Manhattan Dunkin' Donuts shows a group of youths climbing on counters, throwing chairs and throwing tables in a violent attack on workers. It happened at the Dunkin' Donuts on Christopher Street in Greenwich Village. A $2,000 hot chocolate machine was reportedly destroyed in the attack. Similar attacks have targeted other stores in the neighborhood in the previous weeks. The video shows one of the teens throwing a chair and then running up to grab a donut. A few of the attackers also grabbed drinks out of a refrigerator near the door, and they all quickly ran from the store." - Fox Ny

Google's Summer of Code Enters New Round in 2009
Google is still accepting applications up to March 13 for Open Source projects wanting to be mentoring organizations for the Summer of Code 2009. Student applications then open officially on March 23.
As Leslie Hawthorn of Google's Open Source team writes in a blog, Google is soliciting organizations to be mentors to students in their Summer of Code (SoC) 2009 program. The program provides funding for developers that implement particularly compelling ideas in open source projects.
Projects can apply to become mentors up to March 13. Students can then begin applying as of March 23. Google will publish the list of mentor organizations on March 18.
By Google's claims more than 2,500 students have successfully participated in the program over the last four years, paired with an equal number of mentors. The program will take place over a three-month period. More than five million lines of source code have been produced and the SoC has grown to be a virtual institution in open source circles. Details about the program are available here as an FAQ and in the #gsoc channel on Freenode.

Uncover the Art of Deception at the Clark September 30
For Immediate Release
September 17, 2009
What one person can create, another can fake or forge. Forensic paper historian and author Peter Bower will present the intriguing lecture "Fakes and Forgeries: The Art of Deception" on Wednesday, September 30, at 7 pm, at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute. Admission to the lecture is free.
Bower will base his lecture on the investigations and discoveries made in various cases including a group of supposedly "early nineteenth-century" watercolors; Leon Warnerke, perhaps the greatest banknote forger ever; and the German forgery of British paper money during World War II. Bower will cover the physical investigation of the objects involved, the interpretation of those findings and the techniques used by the forgers, emphasizing the importance of background research and the collaboration between investigators. Other areas covered will include some of the basic dynamics of forgery, including one of the most important elements of any successful forgery—the manipulation of the victim by the forger. Bower will also discuss famous historical cases such as the British Government's forgery of assignats, French Revolutionary money.
Bower is a forensic paper historian and analyst specializing in the examination of paper for the purposes of dating, attribution, and usage for museums, galleries, lawyers, police, and private individuals around the world. Recent work has included involvement in the re-discovery of a Michelangelo drawing and the analysis of the Black Diaries of Sir Roger Casement. He is the author of Turner's Papers: A Study of the Manufacture, Selection, and Use of His Drawing Papers, 1787-1820 and Turner's Later Papers: A Study of the Manufacture, Selection, and Use of His Drawing Papers, 1820-1851, published to accompany exhibitions at Tate Britain. His current major research project is the papers used by John Constable.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (open Mondays in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and younger, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

Education That Matters: Make A Difference with WGSS!
Dept. of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, 4300 Centennial Hall, (608) 785-8357. Or email Deb Hoskins, Chair of WGSS.
GENDER is a society's ideas about what it means to be male or female. Gender works with with other ideas like RACE, CLASS, SEXUAL ORIENTATION, to shape our lives. It influences how we think about relationships. It structures our decisions about work and determines how much money we are likely to make. It disrupts health diagnoses and treatment. It stigmatizes behaviors and actions. It even determines what we eat, wear, and buy.
And it has always generated action and organized movements seeking equality, worldwide.
The Department of WGSS enacts the Wisconsin Idea: that universities should produce knowledge and educate students in ways that serve real people. We study and teach on the lives of women, men, and sexual or gender identity minorities. We examine the ways that race, social class, age, and other socially constructed hierarchies connect to gender to impact people's real lives. We study how social change works and what social justice might look like. We use and teach students to use academic skills to make social change. We maintain the connection between theory and practice, issues and advocacy, throughout our curricula and in all our programs.
Our programs include:
- our major in Women's Studies, designed to prepare you well either for graduate school or work in a range of fields, emphasizing collaborative leadership and problem-solving from the workplace and community level to international arenas
- our minor (opens in MS Word) in Women's Studies, emphasizing service-learning, internships, and involvement that puts learning into action
- on-campus events for students, faculty, staff, and the La Crosse community
- our student organizations, WSSA (wiss-ah), and Students for Choice, a member of NARAL's Pro-Choice Wisconsin
- the Self-Sufficiency Program that prepares low-income parents for college
- the Faculty Seminar on Teaching For Diversity (working with CATL's Inclusive Excellence)
- WGSS is a partner of the American Association of University Women. Benefits for students are many: see here.
- and this website, with links to a variety of resources for women faculty at UW-L
In the tradition of Women's Studies and its sister disciplines, our courses approach problems and issues from interdisciplinary perspectives. They enhance courses on women, gender, and sexuality issues crosslisted in the traditional disciplines, and provide students with numerous opportunities to integrate their learning across their baccalaureate degree.
