Justin Bieber's housemates -- Lil Za & Lil Twist -- are law-breaking, aggressive punks ... who dangerously rocketed through the streets of Calabasas and cussed out their neighbor ... and TMZ has the footage.
The latest incident went down Thursday inside Bieber's exclusive gated community -- The Oaks -- where one of Bieber's neighbors witnessed Za and Twist tearing up the streets in JB's cars ... a black Range Rover and the infamous white Ferrari.
You'll see a lady with a camera driving 25mph -- the speed limit -- as the two cars are stopped in front of her ... one in the oncoming traffic lane.
As the woman passes Bieber's cars ... Za and Twist turn on the jets and screech past her at speeds way in excess of the limit.
It all comes to a head at one of the gates in the community, where Za gets out of his car, aggressively confronts the woman -- and proclaims he's a resident of The Oaks with this glib gem ... "I live with Justin Bieber and you know I do."
He then tells the woman, "F**k you. Get the f**k out of here."
As for Bieber -- he was in Miami to watch the NBA Championship.
Bieber's Posse
... Caught On Tape!!!....................my brother, my father and my uncle want to Terrorize her butt...
That lady is so annoying. All she was trying to do was provoke them so she could get a good story. They aren't even doing anything crazy. People speed all the time.. But because they're in the public eye they're "terrorizing"... Just stfu and get a new job (to whoever was recording)
I don't know when this crappy Calabassas neighborhood became such a s***my ghetto, but I do know that both of those little pieces of excrement would be picking the glass out of their faces after I smashed their windshields with a baseball bat. I almost feel bad for the rich suckers that live there, because their property values are taking a nose-dive ha ha ha.
Its amazing how much money you can make absolutely sucking at what you do, then turn around and use that money to **** on people who actually have talent and lives, and f*ck with their neighborhood.. i cant wait to see these douchebags get whats coming to them.. Hey yo we don't live in your world, you live in ours.. bieber, you are almost done.. beliebe that....
Yep. This kid is doing concerts all over the world so his pals can party and show their asses on his dime. That conservative bit is looking better all the time.
Where are his parents? Sure he's too old but they have more influence than the neighbors. Scooter? Yoo-hoo!! You don't put the law down with your talent? Or is he just a buck to make and to hell with what sort of trash feeds off him?
What fine upstanding houseguests! Take the homeowners cars out to charge the battery,
interact with the neighbors, test the security gates,
offer their sexual prowness and show the best side of the music business.
With attitude like that they would be something different in my neighbor hood. Target practice on the cars.
Typical ******s their all pieces of **** jb thinks he's black he probably afraid of them that's why he doesn't kick them out of his house and the probably punk him for his cars that's why they always have his cars
I don't know who Lil 'X' are, but this gives Justin Bieber some cred. I'm guessing people can always move to a retirement community if they don't like the young punks, with their 'youth,' and such.
The residents of that community worked their whole life. They move into a nice neighborhood and think they have a safe place for their family. Then some young punk moves in with his idiot friends and ruins it for everybody.

Mozambique to start work on Nacala coal terminal - PM
Friday, 24 February 2012 | 00:00
Mozambique expects construction of a coal terminal to start in the next few months at the northern port of Nacala, with the aim of having it operational in two to three years, Prime Minister Aires Aly said in Tokyo on Thursday.
"We need to have it up and running in the next two to three years," Aly told Reuters through a translator on the sidelines of a news conference, adding that he expects Nacala to have a total capacity of 25 million tonnes of coal, including the planned terminal exclusively for coal.
Brazil's Vale has said it plans to spend $4.4 billion to build the terminal and a 912 km (570 mile) railway line connecting its coal mine with the port.
The railway line and port will initially have a capacity of 18 million tonnes to meet Vale's rising demand for exports.
Separately, Japan is conducting a feasibility study, financed by its overseas aid, on improving the capacity and operation of the port, including terminals for coal.
Aly and his Japanese counterpart, Yoshihiko Noda, agreed earlier this week to start negotiations on a bilateral investment agreement.
But a Japanese foreign ministry official said on Thursday it is still unclear if and when Tokyo will help fund the Nacala port development.
The weeklong visit by the leader of energy-rich Mozambique, which ends on Friday, comes at a time when Japan is struggling to meet its electricity needs, with most of its nuclear reactors shut down due to safety fears sparked by the Fukushima radiation crisis. Japan, along with other countries, is also under pressure from the United States to cut oil imports from Iran.
Several Japanese companies, including Nippon Steel Corp and Mitsui & Co, have already tapped the resources of Mozambique.
Aly said test results so far have shown the country's offshore natural gas fields are promising, and he hoped liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to Japan from an LNG facility in a project led by Anadarko Petroleum Corp would start by 2018.

- Research training - the development of sustainability and planning research skills.
Course Structure
The course is divided into two parts:
- Part 1 comprises a teaching programme of core and option modules over two semesters (or four semesters for the part-time course).
- Part 2 comprises an individual dissertation on a topic selected by each student in consultation with members of staff. Whilst there are few constraints on the choice of topic, it must address the core course themes of sustainability, environmental policy and planning.
Available Modules
The following list relates to the modules for the academic year 2012/13. Please note that these may be subject to change.

Sure, you can still make connections at the official nightly showcases or by shaking endless hands at the industry trade show. But if you want to meet all the right people, you have to offer some additional options, and the unofficial day parties - where musicians can sing live and then mingle afterwards -- provide the ideal opportunity to visit with the movers and shakers in the biz.
I only had one celebrity sighting all week, and that was the top-notch celebrity blogger Perez Hilton on Thursday afternoon (March 13). He was holding court at Cedar Street Courtyard to hear the Swedish pop star, Robyn. Everybody keeps asking me what color his hair was, and I'm here to report: It was magenta and gold. Some unfortunate technical issues squashed the electronica side of her music, but Robyn rose to the occasion with an acoustic/dance set. The show must go on, after all. If anything, her scaled-back set encouraged me to buy the album because the lyrics (which were not drowned out by thumping bass and synthesizer) were as catchy as anything I heard all week.
One of my favorite SXSW day parties was sponsored by Nashville-based American Songwriter magazine on Thursday afternoon (March 13), where I was lucky enough to see Jason Collett, who's also in the collective known as Broken Social Scene. His music is a lot mellower than his band's, however, and I thoroughly enjoyed his country-tinged songs. A newly reunited Sixpence None the Richer was also on the bill, as well as Kim Richey, Trent Dabbs, Keith Gattis, the Dodos and, yes, Justin Townes Earle.
On Friday (March 14), I dropped by a day party sponsored by Next Big Nashville, a similar-but-smaller music conference that takes place in Nashville in September. That's when I personally caught Earle's set (one of the most engaging performances I saw all week), as well as the singer-songwriters Garrison Starr and Megan McCormick. I've been a fan of Starr's edgy-but-literate music for several years now, and McCormick has the potential to draw a similar audience, especially with her killer song, "Honest Words."
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, I swung by Sixth Street for Collin Herring, a singer-songwriter from Fort Worth, Texas, who recently recorded a song I love called "Punches." If you can capture that sense of frustration in a song without sounding like a complainer, I'm on your side forever. Meanwhile, the anti-war parade marched by outside, trailed by a truck with a bubble machine. I regret that I couldn't get into Rachael Ray's day party afterwards. I am a proud charter subscriber to Everyday With Rachael Ray magazine, and plus, I was kind of hungry. But that freed up enough time to catch Bruce Robison's mini-set at Threadgill's in South Austin. He's written some of my favorite country songs of the last few years, including "Wrapped" by George Strait and "Travelin' Soldier" by the Dixie Chicks, and he's got the perfect singing voice for a lazy day.
After that, I returned to Sixth Street to check out Freddie Stevenson, a singer-songwriter from the UK, who happened to sit two seats over on my flight to Austin. His album comes out there in April, and his first single is about how the author J.K. Rowling is stalking him. Well, I guess she needs to do something now that the Harry Potter saga is over. From there, I paused at the Utne Reader party (their swag bag contained stylish, environmentally friendly tote bags and tiny bars of natural soap) before finally catching up with Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers, the most energetic band I saw during the festival. I really like their latest album, but I essentially got crowded out of their official showcase earlier in the week - so thank goodness for these day parties. Hopefully you'll hear their name a lot more in the coming months, too.

General Resolution
I. Preamble
1. The second session of the European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning, held at the invitation of the French Government in La Grande Motte, from 25 to 27 September 1973, was attended by the ministers and government representatives of the following 15 member states of the Council of Europe – Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom – and, as observers, those of Finland, Spain and Yugoslavia. Seven international organisations were represented by observers, namely: the Commission of the European Communities, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the European Conference of Ministers of Transport, the International Labour Organization, the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization. Its purpose was to give consideration, at the highest level, to European regional planning problems and to lay the foundation for closer and more effective co-operation.
2. The conference expresses its warmest thanks to the French Government for its organisation of the conference and for its generous hospitality. It also wishes to pay tribute to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe who has provided his administrative services, and thanks the Committee of Ministers, the Consultative Assembly and the European Conference of Local Authorities of the Council of Europe for their valuable support.
II. Objectives of a European regional planning policy
3. At the 1st Conference (Bonn, 1970), the balanced development of European regions was unanimously recognised as the main aim of regional planning policy at European level. At La Grande Motte, the ministers affirm that the long-term objectives of a European policy should be based on an improvement in man's well-being and on the expansion of activities in terms both of economic development and of the quality of life. To this end they declare that it is essential:
– to provide the inhabitants of the different European regions with the best possible social and environmental conditions and comparable standards of employment and income;
– to encourage by appropriate means the growth of all regions, in order to counterbalance the excessive attraction of the central regions of Europe;
– to be aware of the need to maintain infrastructure in regions in decline, thus ensuring possibilities for new economic take-off;
– to protect the environment and to safeguard natural resources.
4. The achievement of the economic and social equilibrium recommended above involves working towards a certain territorial balance which can be achieved only by channelling capital and enterprise into areas with available manpower; otherwise the future progress even of the most developed areas could be jeopardised. Such efforts should be accompanied by measures to control economic growth and urban concentration in the most overcrowded regions, which attract population drift, as well as a programme of decentralisation and expansion of activities to promote backward areas and to remove certain obstacles to the growth of intermediate regions.
5. To achieve these aims, regional planning must be based on a democratic, functional, comprehensive and long-term approach:
– democratic, since regional planning must allow participation by the population concerned and by their political representatives; it must take account of the regional consciousness based on common values, common culture and common interests;
– functional, since the area and content of any regional plan or any project for regional development should be determined by the requirements of the situation and should not be subject to artificial restraints imposed by administrative or territorial boundaries, but should take into account the institutional realities of each country;
– comprehensive, since regional planning must also set its sights generally on promoting individual welfare and flourishing communities, taking account of economic, social, cultural, ecological and other factors;
– long-term, since research and forecasting, continually reviewed and re-assessed, enable social, economic, cultural and environmental development to be more clearly envisaged, and facilitate the elaboration of short- and medium-term planning in relation to spatial development.
6. In general terms, regional planning should be seen as a way of promoting the development of communities and helping them adapt to new situations.
III. Three types of application
7. Wishing to give practical effect to these broad objectives, the ministers have examined their application to three important problems on a European scale, namely:
– transport policies,
– frontier regions,
– mountain regions.
A. A comprehensive transport policy, based on the principles of a European regional planning policy
8. The aims of regional planning are undoubtedly closely interwoven with those underlying the organisation of the transport system.
9. Overall objectives of a European transport policy should be defined to harmonise with regional planning and environmental policies. A comprehensive approach to transport policy is necessary for the purpose of promoting and strengthening economic development by means of a more balanced distribution of population and activities between European regions.
10. Several European institutions and, in particular, the Economic Commission for Europe of the United Nations, the European Communities and the European Conference of Ministers for Transport are endeavouring to harmonise transport policies on a European scale. Various measures already taken by these institutions in the transport sector show a close connection between, on the one hand, the transport aspect and, on the other, the regional planning aspect. The ministers warmly welcome the intention of these institutions to intensify their efforts to take further into account the requirements of a coherent regional planning on a European scale.
11. By the adoption of a special Resolution No. 1 on the principles which should guide transport policy, the ministers, aiming to take account of the needs of European regional planning, wish to stress the following principles on which investment programmes and organisational systems should be based:
– a communication system should be developed that takes into account a comprehensive approach to regional planning;
– the centripetal tendency characteristic of the transport system to date should be restricted or corrected, thus developing, for example, communications outside (or at a tangent to) the main areas of concentration;
– economic resources and opportunities for productive investment should be exploited in all regions of Europe, especially in those regions where abundant manpower is available, particularly by means of improved facilities for communications and trade, not only with the central areas, but also with countries outside Europe;
– new transport techniques should be used to improve intermetropolitan and urban links;
– the quality of life in urban areas and the diverse role of towns should be respected;
– the environment and the multiplicity of land uses in rural areas should be taken into account in the planning of communication routes.
B. Frontier regions as testing grounds for regional co-operation at European level
12. The ministers are aware that the solution of difficulties facing frontier regions is one of the prerequisites for the achievement of the European ideal of an open society. In order to achieve a sense of their own identity, realise their potential and also ensure the well-being of their population, frontier regions need a policy which will deliberately disregard the artificial divisions of history and make open frontiers a reality.
13. This policy depends on the willingness to co-operate on both sides of frontiers; here, responsibility lies with national, regional, and local authorities working to bring about a rapprochement between the peoples of Europe and to make their external or maritime frontiers as open as possible. A series of recommendations designed to further this policy have been set out in a special Resolution No. 2.
14. Government action in frontier areas, on a bilateral or multilateral basis, should be directed towards:
i. improved exchange of information;
ii. permanent collaboration, including the reduction of legislative and administrative obstacles to joint action in regional planning and development, and
iii. joint use of infrastructure and amenities (sewerage, hospitals, sports facilities, etc.).
15. International organisations, too, can play an active part in the definition of the practical objectives of trans-frontier co-operation. The ministers would wish to see the kind of repeated and sustained efforts made by the Council of Europe continued and intensified.
C. Mountain regions
16. Recognising, on the one hand, that mountain regions in certain parts of Europe are faced with loss of population, economic decline and growing threats to the natural environment, and, on the other hand, the growing importance of their function as an ecological counterbalance and as recreation areas, the ministers consider the solution of the problems of some mountain regions as a matter of European concern. They believe that special attention should be given to mountain areas situated in economically under-developed regions where the process of physical and social-economic deterioration is more pronounced.
17. The ministers recommend that governments of countries participating in the conference should ensure, within the framework of bilateral and multilateral co-operation, the co-ordination of development plans in mountain regions.
18. The ministers instruct the Committee of Senior Officials to create the necessary conditions for studying the problems of mountain regions at their third conference. To this end, they adopted a special Resolution No. 3.
IV. Establishment of working instruments
19. The ministers are aware that the establishment of certain essential working methods is the prerequisite for the implementation of a regional planning policy at European level. With this in mind, at the time of the Bonn Conference, the ministers asked their Committee of Senior Officials to examine the possibilities of organising and co-ordinating at European level and according to their needs, forecasting research, cartography, statistics and terminology. The programmes which they now recommend for implementation are contained in two special resolutions, Nos. 4 and 5.
A. European forecasting
20. Because it sets out problems in an overall and long-term context, forecasting should play a continuous and increasingly important part in the search for solutions to a growing number of problems with European implications which influence national regional planning policies, notably problems of urbanisation, major peripheral regions, reconversion areas, multinational firms, migrant workers and mass tourism.
21. There are a number of possible approaches to the difficult task of long-range forecasting. All of them may be needed in order to clarify the likely futures for European regions and populations, and to help therefore the responsible authorities to assess the range of policies open to them.
22. In order to overcome the difficulties of a technical and methodological nature, which make European co-operation in this area especially arduous, the ministers resolve to pursue and intensify their joint efforts in this field.
B. Cartography
23. The ministers reaffirm that cartography, which the Bonn Conference designated as a priority area for co-operation, is an essential tool for their future work. Having taken note of the work programme in this area, they resolve to organise systematic co-operation for the compilation of thematic maps on a European basis. The new techniques of automated cartography – currently at the experimental stage in several countries – should also be compared as soon as possible at European level.
C. Harmonisation of statistical data
24. Although the Bonn resolution designated the harmonisation of statistics as a priority area, in order to avoid duplication of work on other organisations, no work has been done in this field within the Council of Europe. Given the fact that any progress in the area of forecasting research and cartography is dependent on the establishment of new statistical systems for regional planning and the environment, and on comparable regional statistics, the ministers instruct the Committee of Senior Officials to seek a solution to this question without delay, in conjunction with the European Conference of Statisticians of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, OECD and the Statistical Office of the European Communities, and to submit an action programme at their next conference.
D. Terminology
25. The work done since the 1st Conference has confirmed that a harmonised or common terminology is essential to European co-operation. The ministers accordingly instruct the Committee of Senior Officials to continue their studies with a view to harmonising regional planning terminology, beginning with long-range forecasting and cartography.
V. A new phase
26. Thanks to the work of the Committee of Senior Officials, this 2nd Conference marks the beginning of a new phase in co-operation between European ministers responsible for regional planning. Statements of general principles have paved the way for a definition of more specific goals and the will to accomplish concrete results.
A. The European context
27. Since the Bonn Conference, a number of European events at various levels have helped to accelerate and intensify the realisation that the quality of life must be improved, by means of a concerted regional development and environment policy in which regional planning plays a special part.
28. The future action of the European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning will need to be approached against the background of this new situation.
i.The European Communities
29. An event with far-reaching implications for the conference is undoubtedly the decision taken by the Conference of Heads of State or Government, in Paris in October 1972, to give high priority to a European regional policy. The ministers are convinced, however, that a European regional policy cannot be confined within the boundaries of the Communities' member countries but hope that the results of experiments made within the "Nine" will prove of benefit to the European countries represented at the present conference.
30. Considering that the conference and the European Communities have as a common objective the balanced development of the regions of Europe and that their activities will need to complement each other to this end, it will be essential to establish effective links at all levels and to define the priority tasks of the conference in taking advantage of the methods proper to intergovernmental co-operation.
ii.The European Conference of Ministers of Transport
31. Resolution No. 1 on Regional planning and communications policies establishes a dialogue between the European Conference of Ministers of Transport and the European Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning. Contacts between the two will need to be sustained and intensified.
32. A joint meeting of the two conferences could take place at a convenient date.
iii.Council of Europe
a.Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe
33. The ministers noted with satisfaction that the Consultative Assembly, in its debate on the role of the Council of Europe, recommended that its priority tasks should include:
the protection of nature and the historic heritage and the right to an environment and living conditions conducive to the full development of the human personality in the framework of a European regional planning policy.
b. The European Ministerial Conference on the Environment
34. The ministers were gratified that the first European Ministerial Conference on the Environment (Vienna, 1973) followed the Bonn resolution in stressing the close interdependence between regional planning and environmental problems; they found confirmation of their belief that a resolute policy was needed at European level to provide contemporary society with an environment which, whilst opening up a full range of economic activities, in no way destroys the ecological balance.
c.European Architectural Heritage Year 1975
35. The aims of European Architectural Heritage Year 1975 as defined by the Council of Europe – to give the conservation of the historic and cultural heritage of monuments and sites in Europe its rightful place in the framework of town and country planning – provide a further valuable contribution to the definition of a European regional planning policy.
d.Resettlement Fund of the Council of Europe
36. The ministers acknowledge the present role of the Resettlement Fund in stemming rural depopulation through the provision of employment, housing, training schemes and other aids, and instruct the Committee of Senior Officials to examine in their preparations for the 3rd Conference, how the fund might assist in social and economic projects undertaken in peripheral, frontier and mountain regions.
37. They express their satisfaction at the creation by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe of a mixed working party to examine the possible uses of the Resettlement Fund in assisting those regions suffering from problems of rural exodus, and instruct the Committee of Senior Officials to arrange for their representation on it.
iv.Possibilities for co-operation with all European countries
38. The ministers are further aware that regional planning at European level should extend to all European countries, including those of eastern Europe. They express the hope that there will be ever increasing possibilities for effective co-operation, and believe that regional planning provides a valuable framework in which to explore and promote arrangements for co-operation since it entails seeking solutions on as extensive a geographical scale as possible.
B. Status and future action of the conference
39. The ministers express their determination that their conference should continue to play a pioneering role in regional planning at European level, as an instigator of new ideas and as a forum for the promotion of co-operative action of common interest to them.
40. The ministers will continue to direct and promote multilateral co-operation within the sphere of their competence.
41. To this effect, the ministers express their wish that the conference's current "special working relationship" with the Council of Europe be maintained. Their recommendations with regard to the execution of the programme described in resolutions Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 have been set out in Resolution No. 6, which is addressed to the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
42. The ministers accept with gratitude the invitation of the Italian minister to hold their third session in Italy, and instruct their Committee of Senior Officials to prepare the 3rd Conference of Ministers responsible for Regional Planning.
43. They further took note with satisfaction of the invitations for the 4th and 5th Conferences extended to them by the Turkish and British governments.
44. They instruct the Committee of Senior Officials to prepare the 3rd Conference, which is to take place in Italy in 1975 or 1976, taking into account the importance they attach to the two following questions:
– the problem of urban development and its impact on the environment;
– the problem of regional economic disparities.

The Cambridge Companion to Abraham Lincoln
by Shirley SamuelsAbraham Lincoln's stature as an American cultural figure grows from his political legacy. In today's milieu, the speeches he delivered as the sixteenth president of the United States have become synonymous with American progress, values, and exceptionalism. But what makes Lincoln's language so effective? Highlighting matters of style, affect, nationalism, and history in nineteenth-century America, this collection examines the rhetorical power of Lincoln's prose from the earliest legal decision, stump speeches, anecdotes, and letters to the Gettysburg Address and the lingering power of the Second Inaugural Address. Through careful analysis of his correspondence with Civil War generals and his early poetry, the contributors, all literary critics, give readers a unique look into Lincoln's private life. Their essays also examine Lincoln's language in a larger sphere, including that of the Caribbean and Latin America, as well as Europe. Such a collection enables teachers, students, and readers of American history to assess the impact of this extraordinary writer and rare politician on the world's stage.
The Cambridge Companion to American Fiction after 1945
by John N. DuvallEach generation revises literary history and this is nowhere more evident than in the post-Second World War period. This 2011 Companion offers a comprehensive, authoritative and accessible overview of the diversity of American fiction since the Second World War. Essays by nineteen distinguished scholars provide critical insights into the significant genres, historical contexts, cultural diversity and major authors during a period of enormous American global political and cultural power. This power is overshadowed, nevertheless, by national anxieties growing out of events ranging from the Civil Rights Movement to the rise of feminism; from the Cold War and its fear of Communism and nuclear warfare to the Age of Terror and its different yet related fears of the 'Other'. American fiction since 1945 has faithfully chronicled these anxieties. An essential reference guide, this Companion provides a chronology of the period, as well as guides to further reading.

The Cambridge Companion to American Poetry since 1945
by Jennifer AshtonThe extent to which American poetry reinvented itself after World War II is a testament to the changing social, political, and economic landscape of twentieth-century American life. Registering an important shift in the way scholars contextualize modern and contemporary American literature, this Companion explores how American poetry has documented and, at times, helped propel the literary and cultural revolutions of the past sixty-five years. Offering authoritative and accessible essays from fourteen distinguished scholars, the Companion sheds new light on the Beat, Black Arts, and other movements while examining institutions that govern poetic practice in the United States today. The text also introduces seminal figures like Sylvia Plath, John Ashbery, and Gwendolyn Brooks while situating them alongside phenomena such as the "academic poet" and popular forms such as spoken word and rap, revealing the breadth of their shared history. Students, scholars, and readers will find this Companion an indispensable guide to post-war and late twentieth-century American poetry.
The Cambridge Companion to American Novelists
by Timothy ParrishThis Companion examines the full range and vigor of the American novel. From the American exceptionalism of James Fenimore Cooper to the apocalyptic post-Americanism of Cormac McCarthy, these newly commissioned essays from leading scholars and critics chronicle the major aesthetic innovations that have shaped the American novel over the past two centuries. The essays evaluate the work, life, and legacy of influential American novelists including Melville, Twain, James, Wharton, Cather, Faulkner, Ellison, Pynchon, and Morrison, while situating them within the context of their literary predecessors and successors. The volume also highlights less familiar, though equally significant writers such as Theodore Dreiser and Djuna Barnes, providing a balanced and wide-ranging survey of use to students, teachers, and general readers of American literature.
The Cambridge Companion to African American Theatre
by Harvey YoungThis Companion provides a comprehensive overview of African American theatre, from the early nineteenth century to the present day. Along the way, it chronicles the evolution of African American theatre and its engagement with the wider community, including discussions of slave rebellions on the national stage, African Americans on Broadway, the Harlem Renaissance, African American women dramatists, and the 'New Negro' and 'Black Arts' movements. Leading scholars spotlight the producers, directors, playwrights and actors whose efforts helped to fashion a more accurate appearance of black life on stage, and reveal the impact of African American theatre both within the United States and further afield. Chapters also address recent theatre productions in the context of political and cultural change and ask where African American theatre is heading in the twenty-first century.
Comparative Historical Analysis in the Social Sciences
by James Mahoney Dietrich RueschemeyerThis book systematically investigates the past accomplishments and future agendas of contemporary comparative-historical analysis. Its core essays explore three major issues: the accumulation of knowledge in the field over the past three decades, the analytic tools used to study temporal process and historical patterns, and the methodologies available for making inferences and for building theories. The introductory and concluding essays situate the field as a whole by comparing it to alternative approaches within the social sciences. Comparative Historical Analysis in the Social Sciences will serve as an invaluable resource for scholars in the field, and it will represent a challenge to many other social scientists - especially those who have raised skeptical concerns about comparative-historical analysis in the past.

Retention and Resistance
by Pegeen Reichert Powell"Retention and Resistance" combines personal student narratives with a critical analysis of the current approach to retention in colleges and universities, and explores how retention can inform a revision of goals for first-year writing teachers. Retention is a vital issue for institutions, but as these students stories show, leaving college is often the result of complex and idiosyncratic individual situations that make institutional efforts difficult and ultimately ineffective. An adjustment of institutional and pedagogical objectives is needed to refocus on educating as many students as possible, including those who might leave before graduation. Much of the pedagogy, curricula, and methodologies of composition studies assume students are preparing for further academic study. "Retention and Resistance" argues for a new kairotic pedagogy that moves toward an emphasis on the present classroom experience and takes students varied experiences into account. Infusing the discourse of retention with three individual student voices, Powell explores the obligation of faculty to participate in designing an institution that educates all students, no matter where they are in their educational journey or how far that journey will go.
by Daniel HerbertVideoland offers a comprehensive view of the "tangible phase" of consumer video, when Americans largely accessed movies as material commodities at video rental stores. Video stores served as a vital locus of movie culture from the early 1980s until the early 2000s, changing the way Americans socialized around movies and collectively made movies meaningful. When films became tangible as magnetic tapes and plastic discs, movie culture flowed out from the theater and the living room, entered the public retail space, and became conflated with shopping and salesmanship. In this process, video stores served as a crucial embodiment of movie culture's historical move toward increased flexibility, adaptability, and customization.In addition to charting the historical rise and fall of the rental industry, Herbert explores the architectural design of video stores, the social dynamics of retail encounters, the video distribution industry, the proliferation of video recommendation guides, and the often surprising persistence of the video store as an adaptable social space of consumer culture. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, cultural geography, and archival research, Videoland provides a wide-ranging exploration of the pivotal role video stores played in the history of motion pictures, and is a must-read for students and scholars of media history.
Empire in Waves
by Scott LadermanSurfing today evokes many things: thundering waves, warm beaches, bikinis and lifeguards, and carefree pleasure. But is the story of surfing really as simple as popular culture suggests? In this first international political history of the sport, Scott Laderman shows that while wave riding is indeed capable of stimulating tremendous pleasure, its globalization went hand in hand with the blood and repression of the long twentieth century. Emerging as an imperial instrument in post-annexation Hawaii, spawning a form of tourism that conquered the littoral Third World, tracing the struggle against South African apartheid, and employed as a diplomatic weapon in America's Cold War arsenal, the saga of modern surfing is only partially captured by Gidget, the Beach Boys, and the film Blue Crush. From nineteenth-century American empire-building in the Pacific to the low-wage labor of the surf industry today, Laderman argues that surfing in fact closely mirrored American foreign relations. Yet despite its less-than-golden past, the sport continues to captivate people worldwide. Whether in El Salvador or Indonesia or points between, the modern history of this cherished pastime is hardly an uncomplicated story of beachside bliss. Sometimes messy, occasionally contentious, but never dull, surfing offers us a whole new way of viewing our globalized world.
Slaves and Englishmen
by Michael GuascoTechnically speaking, slavery was not legal in the English-speaking world before the mid-seventeenth century. But long before race-based slavery was entrenched in law and practice, English men and women were well aware of the various forms of human bondage practiced in other nations and, in less systematic ways, their own country. They understood the legal and philosophic rationale of slavery in different cultural contexts and, for good reason, worried about the possibility of their own enslavement by foreign Catholic or Muslim powers. While opinions about the benefits and ethics of the institution varied widely, the language, imagery, and knowledge of slavery were a great deal more widespread in early modern England than we tend to assume.In wide-ranging detail, Slaves and Englishmen demonstrates how slavery shaped the ways the English interacted with people and places throughout the Atlantic world. By examining the myriad forms and meanings of human bondage in an international context, Michael Guasco illustrates the significance of slavery in the early modern world before the rise of the plantation system or the emergence of modern racism. As this revealing history shows, the implications of slavery were closely connected to the question of what it meant to be English in the Atlantic world.

Progress To Ending Veteran Homelessness Faces Hurdles
Federal funding needed to boost gains in stabilizing lives of servicemen and women
It's safe to say that most Americans think it's unacceptable for veterans of any American wars return home and end up on the streets. There's good news on that front -- an upcoming report by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs is expected to show the number of homeless veterans has decreased by a record 15,000 since 2009. The drop is the result of an aggressive two-pronged strategy to house vets and prevent new ones from ending up homeless. VA secretary Eric Shinseki promised to end homelessness by 2015, but officials and experts say more is needed to meet that goal. The current, record annual progress would need to double, they say. Billions more in federal dollars is needed, along with improvements to programs that address mental illness, drug and alcohol addiction, unemployment and poverty. (Associated Press)

Grahame, Kenneth: The Headswoman (Illustrated). v1. 16 August 2012
Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932) is the author of The Wind in the Willows, The Golden Age, Dream Days, Pagan Papers, The Headswoman etc.
This 1898 satire depicts a medieval village whose executionera beautiful womanwins the hearts of those she must kill. Upon publication, Literary World deemed the book, "A delightful little tale with a tinge of satire in it. For gracefulness of style and charm in the telling of a story it is in the front rank, and that is saying a great deal. Barnes & Noble overview The towns executioner has died, and his eighteen-year-old daughter steps into the hereditary position the situation is ripe for satire. Color plates and illustrated capitals in the style of medieval woodcuts add to the tone of the piece. A sly look at gender-based rôles and social customs, this short humorous tale is a bit different from most of Grahames work, and readers expecting whimsey or nostalgia should perhaps seek elsewhere. When a medieval Seigneur speaks of bloated capitalists, you know you are in unusual territory. ------ 8 color illustrations, illustrated capitals, curly quotes, and it's a really fast fun read.

Spearfish area community members will have the opportunity to observe classes at Black Hills State University this fall with the implementation of a new initiative known as the Visitor Pass.
A Visitor Pass, issued for $100 per class, allows someone who is not registered at BHSU to observe a class on an available space basis. Each person is allowed to take up to two classes per semester.
"The Visitor Pass will provide residents of this region the opportunity to expand the depth and breadth of their interests and be exposed to the outstanding faculty members leading the innovative high-quality educational opportunities at Black Hills State University," BHSU President Kay Schallenkamp says.
She noted that people interested in obtaining a visitor pass for this fall should contact Dawn at 642-6044. Visitors can sign up and pay for a class visitation beginning Aug. 29. Classes begin Sept. 5.
The Visitor Pass program is designed to provide citizens the opportunity to visit classes without the need to complete assignments or tests. However, since the fee is significantly less than the usual tuition and fees, visitors will not participate in class activities unless invited by the instructor. This program is a non-credit offering, and participants will not be admitted to the university. No grades will be assigned and no transcripts will be available. A Visitor Pass will be issued if space is available for specific courses requested.
For more information about the Visitor Pass or to browse a list of courses offered at BHSU see www.BHSU.edu/VisitorPass.

Gaming is measured in console generations, the technological leaps from, say, the Atari 2600 to the original Nintendo NES or the first Playstation to the Xbox. With the recent releases of the Xbox One and Playstation 4, which joined Nintendo's Wii U released last holiday season, we've now finally entered the eighth of these generations since home gaming began in 1972 with the Magnavox Odyssey (and no, we don't remember that one, either).

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Here's a look at Tuesday's list of things trending around the web!
Mayflower Oil Spill
A lot of eyes are on Mayflower this week after the oil spill. One of the more powerful viewer videos from the accident came from THV 11 viewer Drew Barnes.
If you haven't seen it, it literally shows oil flowing into the neighborhood street like a river. His video has been viewed more than 1 point 6 million times. Watch below:
A funny thing also caught our eye today. On Craigslist, somebody posted an ad for a neighborhood oil giveaway. It said over 12,000 gallons to the first person who gets them.
The ad did show some frustration with Exxon saying quote:
"It's just laying around, poisoning our families and homes and soil and soaking into our water table." Bielema: Saban's Big Ten record 'can't compare' to mine
It is not taking long for new Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema to turn some heads in the SEC world.
By now most of you have probably heard his comments from the Saline County Razorback Club fish fry last week. The head hog said he is here to beat Alabama and win SEC Championships--words that are sure to excite many hog fans.
But, it was what he said about Nick Saban--arguably one of the most successful football coaches in college football today-that caught attention.
Bielema said quote:
"You can take Saban's record when he was at Michigan State and when he was a coach in the Big Ten and put it against mine, and he can't compare."
Of course that sent sports guys into a media frenzy, and yesterday, Nick Saban responded:
"I really don't defend anything I ever did at any place we have ever been. Everybody has different situations that we are in. Everybody inherits different situations. That is certainly what we have always tried to do."
Bielema is right. He did have a better Big Ten record than Saban, but Alabama has won 3 national titles in 4 years.
To sum it all up---We miss football already. Arkansas will meet Alabama in Tuscaloosa on October 19.
Kung Fu Grandpa in the Food Lion parking lot
This Youtube video is one of the most watched videos online this past week with 7.5 million views.
They call him the kung fu grandpa, and many are watching the video just because of the commentary alone.
The commentary in the video comes courtesy of Reverend Aamon Miller. He said he was just sitting outside a grocery store when he saw the man practicing his kung fu.
Reverend Miller said he found out the reason the man was doing that is because he hates shopping, so while his girlfriend is inside the man decides to get some practice time in.
