"No Matter How Justified"
I recently received an interesting mailing from my "progressive" Congressman David Loebsack (D, IA). Loebsack is a "liberal" Democrat who rode antiwar sentiment into the United States House of Representatives last year.
The mailing starts as follows: "Dear Neighbor, we owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers who have paid the ultimate price as well as those who thankfully returned home to their families and friends."
This is Loebsack's flag-waving set-up for advancing some basic things most decent "progressives" support: improved funding and provisions for veterans' health, education, and welfare.
The mailing includes a photograph of Loebsack offering "good wishes for a safe return home" to an Iowa National Guard company being sent off to
On the cover of this mailing, Loebsack pastes in the following quotation from George Washington: "the willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation."
Loebsack does not elaborate on exactly why his constituents owe a special debt of gratitude to those who have followed the orders to invade and occupy
Loebsack does not clarify why his constituents would want "our young people" to be "willing…to serve in war, no matter how justified." He does not explain why we should trust our policymakers (Republican or Democratic) to choose and wage "just wars" after more than four and a half years of "America's" illegal and richly Democrat-enabled invasion of Iraq.
And Loebsack offers no praise for those soldiers who deserve the most applause and gratitude from
Prior to sending out this mailing, Loebsack reported seeing "some progress" in the U.S. occupation of Iraq during a recent fact-finding mission to that illegally invaded nation (Jane Norman, "Congressman Sees Some Progress in Iraq," Des Moines Register Star, 23 October 2007). I provoked outrage from mainstream Democrats on a local (Johnson County, Iowa) "progressive" listserv when I contributed the following in a discussion of Loebsack's report: "the occupation of Iraq ('largely about oil,' as even Alan Greenspan recently noted) is naked imperial aggression pure and simple and any notion of welcome 'progress' could be made in its execution is perverse…Loebsack no doubt thinks the 'war' (where is it? not over here…if it's a 'war' it's a one-sided and brazenly imperial war of colonial aggression) was a mistake, a great blunder…a 'dumb war' and the like, but he can't or won't publicly admit (and neither can the rest of the Dems with outlandish exceptions like Kucinich and Gravel) the truth: 'Operation Iraq Freedom' (O.I.F.) is a great and ongoing crime that has predictably imposed a Holocaust on the people of Iraq (one million dead and millions more forced to leave their homeland). I'm sure Hitler read reports of 'progress' in the occupations of
This modest commentary of mine provoked one subordinate operative in the local liberal-academic-industrial-complex (a 40-something doctoral student and adjunct professor in "culture studies") to announce that he would soon attack me on a high-powered University (of
This little story is part of a larger drama with antecedents that include the politics that led to the rise of Hitler.
As has been obvious for some time now, the messianic- militarist American Right is gearing up to blame the "liberal" Democratic Party and media for the arch-criminal fiasco that is O.I.F.
The sadistic, blood-soaked Occupier-in-Chief George W. Bush plans to pass his disastrous colonial "war" (an ongoing policy of one-sided imperial aggression) on to the next presidential administration, which is likely (thanks in no small part to the Iraq situation) to be inhabited by a Democrat.
Operating in accord with standard (Karl) Rove-ian designs, the military-nationalist Republicans will claim that the real cause of the nightmare in
It's the old "stab in the back" charge, used to such lovely effect by the German Right against German Social Democrats, radicals, and liberals after World War One. We know a bit about the aftermath.
The prescription for the restoration of national pride and prominence? Bring back the real War Party – the one that is most fearless and confident in its determination to rule the world through the sheer preponderance of force and the iron spirit of national will.
Smelling great opportunity and risk in the quadrennial election waters, the Democratic Party is stuck between (a) its perceived need to "look tough" on "national security", (b) its strong imperial commitments, (c) the disastrous situation on the ground in Iraq (where U.S. "victory" is unimaginable), (d) pressure to appease a U.S. majority and progressive electoral base that hates the "war" and whose antiwar sentiment enabled the Democrats to become the majority Congress party in the fall of 2006.
The party is trying to walk this four-strand tightrope by continuing to fund the occupation of Mesopotamia while making "progressive" noises about giving "our" righteous warriors adequate body armor, funding veterans' care, and ending Haliburton-style corruption in the awarding of "defense" contracts. It praises "the troops" for their noble "sacrifices" to "protect" ordinary Americans' "freedom" and "security." It applauds the soldiers for, to quote Council of Foreign Relations spokesman Barack Obama, "doing everything we could ever ask…without question." It makes carefully calibrated statements about "timetables" to "bring the troops home"… someday soon. It criticizes the "incompetence" with which the occupation has been conducted and even (especially in the presidential primaries) the (strategic) wisdom of launching the invasion in the first place. It sometimes criticizes the use of excessively vicious and authoritarian techniques – i.e. water-boarding and wiretaps – in the execution of Bush's policies at home and abroad.
But it does not question the core imperial doctrines behind Operation Iraqi Liberation (O.I.L.)[1] – doctrines it has long helped develop. It does not admit that the "war" is both monumentally illegal and "largely [mostly, P.S.] about oil." It does not acknowledge that the "war" is vengeful and racist. And it does not like to talk about the numerous atrocities our supposedly inherently virtuous military has committed against civilians in the execution of the broader atrocity that is the invasion.
The Democrats have been "opposing the war" not because the invasion of
Some leading Democrats – e.g. Edwards but not Hillary Clinton (who follows Bush II in never admitting errors or crimes) – and some sections of the "liberal" media (The New York Times and the Washington Post) have apologized for playing along with the original WMD deceptions that Cheney-Bush advanced to sell O.I.L. (2). But no apologies have been forthcoming about continuing to play along with the equally childish democracy-promotion claims that were pushed front and center when it became obvious to the American majority that Saddam's WMD had gone AWOL(3).
The problem here is not only that this party line is deeply immoral and expressive of the richly bipartisan nature of the American Empire and even the Bush Doctrine (4). The other difficulty is that it may well be politically dysfunctional. As Jeremy Brecher and Brendan Smith noted last spring, "as long the American people hear [from the Democrats, P.S.] that the only thing wrong with the war is that we're losing it," the Democrats will remain vulnerable to the charge that their "defeatism" cost the
As long as the Democrats believe or claim to believe that the criminal oil invasion was initiated with "the best of intentions" (Obama) and worth winning (even if its initial launching was a "strategic blunder"), they will be somewhat deserving targets for military-nationalist charges of undue "negativity," "spinelessness," "pessimism" and "defeatism."
The indictment may be sadly ironic and largely absurd given the Democrats' continuing willingness to fund the war and to support the preposterous claim that the war was launched to "export democracy" (6). But it could well stick, fed by their awkward balancing between the antiwar majority and their imperial identity, faith, and captivity.
For this and other reasons, rumors of the death of the vicious reign of the extremist and dangerous Republicans may well be exaggerated.

The leading faction in the formulation of Democratic Party foreign policy helped, Smith notes, provide "the intellectual substance of much of the Bush doctrine."

You gotta give it to Herm Edwards -- he knows how to speak. The former Kansas City Chiefs head coach gave a speech to 155 rookies at the NFLPA's version of the rookie symposium, video of which you can see below.
Edwards' basic message was to remember the cross between talent and production. Your talent is natural and every rookie has some semblance of talent. But the ones that make it in the NFL -- and stay there -- are the ones that can combine that talent with production.
Some might say this was a sermon and not a speech because Edwards really does come across as a preacher. That said, he does have the background to back it up. He went undrafted into the NFL before breaking in and staying in the league for 10 years. From there, he got into coaching for two decades, including two stints as a head coach, before moving to ESPN as an NFL analyst.
While Edwards did tell players they should never be late because of the big shiny watches he sees them wearing, he didn't give them one of his most famous pieces of advice: "Nothing good happens after midnight."

If you're ready to improve your Spanish language skills while developing specific expertise in international education and second language acquisition, Seville is ready for you.
The Teaching Development program in Seville is designed exclusively for future language teachers and education majors, giving you a background in pedagogy, as well as valuable hands-on experience teaching English in an international and multilingual environment.
Study abroad in Seville and you will:
We want as many students as possible to benefit from studying abroad. That's why CIEE awards more than $3 million every year – more than any other international educational organization – to make study abroad affordable.
Applicants to this program are eligible for the following scholarships and grants:
The Bailey Scholarship is awarded to students who self-identify as a member of a group that has traditionally been underrepresented in study abroad, especially ethnic minority students. Award amounts are $1,500 for semester or yearlong programs and $1000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
In an effort to make study abroad opportunities available to the widest possible audience, CIEE-ISP Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate both academic excellence and financial need. $2,000 for semester or yearlong programs and $1,000 for summer programs, applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.
CIEE created the Global Access Initiative (GAIN) to help students overcome the major barriers to studying abroad, namely costs and curriculum requirements. GAIN aids in the diversification of study abroad by providing overseas opportunities for students who are economically challenged. The award is $1500 towards an airline ticket with any remaining funds distributed to the student in the form of a check.
The McDermott Scholarship is awarded to students with demonstrated financial need, and who are either a Public Health or Nursing major, and/or are participating in a CIEE Community Public Health study abroad program. Awards range from $1000-$2500, depending on duration of study and financial need, and are applied toward the awardee's CIEE program fee.

Apply new skills as quickly as you learn them. Courses in professional teaching development, intercultural communication, and methodology, give you a background in theory and a range of practical skills you can put to use in your local teaching assignment. You can also choose from a number of elective courses at the Universidad de Sevilla.
Enjoy a series of excursions to sites throughout Seville and Spain, including trips to Córdoba, Jérez, Aracena, Cádiz, and Morocco. You'll also take part in a three-day trip to Morocco in order to experience language learning in a multilingual country. In cities such as Tangier, Tetouan, and Chef Chaouen, you will sit in on language classes in different schools and participate in a language exchange with Moroccan education/English majors.
Study abroad in Seville offers a number of programs and activities to help integrate you into the local and university communities, including outings to theaters and cinemas, intramural sports, a conversation exchange, and various volunteer opportunities.
We want to make sure you get the most out of your experience when you study abroad with CIEE, which is why we offer the most inclusions in our fees.
This breakdown has been prepared from the program budget for the purpose of calculating eligibility for financial aid. During the course of program operations, actual figures may vary. It should not, therefore, be used as a basis for calculation of refunds. CIEE reserves the right to adjust fees at any time.
Students required to study on CIEE programs through a School of Record will be charged a $340 administrative fee in addition to the Program Fees listed.
* non-refundable
** direct cost of education charged uniformly to all students
*** All meals included in Homestay. Students in the residencia option have all meals included except Sunday lunches and meals during breaks/national holidays. No meals are included for students in apartments.
The estimated additional costs indicated are intended to assist students and parents in budgeting for those additional living and discretionary expenses not included in the program fee. Actual expenses will vary according to student interests and spending habits.
* For students in apartments. Students in the residencia should budget $600 for Sunday lunches and meals during breaks/national holidays. All meals are included for students in homestays.
** round-trip based on U.S. East Coast departure
Total recommended credit and a full course load for the semester program is 16–18 semester/ 24–27 quarter hours. Total recommended credit and a full course load for the academic year is 32-34 semester/48-51 quarter hours.
Course contact hours are 45 hours and recommended credit is 3 semester/4.5 quarter hours per course, unless otherwise indicated. The TDP core practicum class is 4 semester/6 quarter hours.
Students take five courses per semester. Students take one intensive course for the first few weeks of the program (Intensive Session) based upon the result of the online language placement exam. Upon completion of the Intensive Session, students take the required CIEE Professional Teaching Development class, at least one required CIEE Study Center course, and two electives chosen from the CIEE Liberal Arts program, Cursos para Extranjeros at the Universidad de Sevilla, and regular university classes at the Universidad de Sevilla and UPO.
Students with lower-than-average language levels will be required to continue with a specially designed language class after the intensive session.
CIEE recommends that participants with a strong academic background and excellent Spanish skills take at least one regular University course as an elective during the semester. Academic year students should include several regular University courses when designing their program of study.
Academic-year students and students continuing from one CIEE program in Seville to another for the academic year are not required to repeat the Intensive Session in January. However, for academic-year students wishing to continue their Spanish studies during the semester break, many choose to take Short Stories in Spain and Latin America (LITT 3501 CSCS) during this time. If an academic year student does not take the literature class during the Intensive Session, he or she must take five classes during the remainder of the semester.
Capital of Andalusia, Seville was one of the last footholds of the Moorish empire that ruled the Iberian Peninsula. It is home to the ingenious barber of Seville and the tempestuous Carmen. The great Renaissance painters Velázquez and Murillo were born here, and Ferdinand and Isabel ruled Spain from the royal apartments in the Alcazar Palace. Though the city preserves its past, modern Seville is the commercial hub of Andalusia. For a city of fewer than 800,000, Seville offers amazing cultural activities, from flamenco to classical, pop, and jazz concerts.
Sergio Jiménez, Program Assistant, has finished his Communications studies focusing on cinema, television and radio. He is currently studying tourism .
Olga Merino, Resident Coordinator, is a native sevillana and has a B.A. in English from the Universidad de Sevilla. Olga has worked with CIEE for over ten years. She is pursuing her MA in the area of cross-cultural communication and education.
Jaime Ramírez is the Center Director for the CIEE Study Center in Seville. A native sevillano, he earned his B.A. from the Universidad de Sevilla in Business Administration and M.B.A. at the Instituto Internacional San Telmo. Jaime participated in CIEE´s Internship USA, working for 4 months at the CIEE headquarters in Portland, Maine. He has also participated in several professional development staff exchanges with Georgetown University and the University of Colorado at Boulder. Jaime has been with CIEE since 2004 and is currently pursuing doctoral studies in Work and Organizational Psychology.
Jorge Rodríguez, a native sevillano, earned his undergraduate degree in Education from the Universidad de Sevilla. He started working for CIEE in 2004 during orientations with students and thereafter in several different departments of CIEE. He is currently the Program Assistant for the Liberal Arts Program and the Resident Coordinator of the Summer Language and Culture Program. Jorge participated in a professional development staff exchange with the University of Oregon.
Since its establishment in the 16th century, the Universidad de Sevilla has been one of Spain's leading institutions of higher learning. The schools of business, communications, economics, engineering, geography
and history, law, labor sciences, mathematics, natural sciences, philology, philosophy, psychology, and its many departments and institutes, serve the educational needs of Spain's most populous region. In total, the
Universidad de Sevilla is the educational center for some 75,000 students.
With nearly 11,000 students, the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO) is the second state run university in Seville. It is located on a 345-acre campus, a 30-minute metro ride from the center of the city. UPO offers both undergraduate and graduate programs in the traditional majors, as well as in biotechnology, environmental sciences, humanities, labor relations, second language acquisition, social work, sports sciences, and translation. Its facilities are equipped with the latest in technology, including campus-wide Internet access, computer, television, video and audio centers, an open access library, sports facilities, and science laboratories.
CIEE Study Center
The CIEE Study Center is located in a beautifully renovated sevillano palace built in 1725. It is centrally located, close to the Puerta de la Carne, and a 10-minute walk from the main Universidad de Sevilla building (Tabacalera). Housed in the CIEE Study Center are classrooms, computer center, and CIEE student services and administration. CIEE professors also have an office there where students may speak with them privately about issues related to their progress in class.
Homestays are the overwhelming preference of students due to the cultural and linguistic opportunities that they provide. Students have their own room and are placed on an individual basis. However, those students who specifically wish to share housing may request to live with another program participant, but always with the condition that each student has their own separate bedroom. All meals and laundry privileges are provided.
Students choosing the residencia option have all meals provided in the cafeteria except Sunday lunch and a limited meal service during Christmas break, Easter eeek, and Feria. Laundry services are also the responsibility of the student in the residencia, although facilities are provided. Residencia rooms are usually doubles or triples shared with other CIEE participants. Few individual rooms are available in the residencia. Students who want to live alone in their own room should choose the homestay or shared apartment options.
Students choosing the shared student apartments will be housed possibly with one other program participant, in addition to Spanish and, occasionally, international students. All apartment residents will have their own bedroom, but bathrooms, kitchens and other common areas are shared amongst the residents. Students choosing this option will be responsible for purchasing and preparing their own meals as these are not provided, nor is there a cafeteria (as with the residencia). However, students will receive a modest monthly food stipend. Laundry is also the responsibility of the student, although a washing machine is provided.
Internet is provided in all types of CIEE housing, as are cleaning services, although these vary depending on the type of housing.
Academic year students may choose to move into private apartments with Spaniards (not other Americans or English-speakers) during the spring semester. CIEE will provide a monthly stipend as well as an informational session about this option, but students are entirely responsible for all aspects of this independent living situation.
Given the size of the city, all students should expect to use public transportation (metro, tram, bus, or public bike rental) to commute from their place of residence to their classes.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Seville even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. Meeting with students online, the resident director shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple—to help you understand more about the program, and identify your objectives so that you arrive well-informed and return home having made significant progress towards your goals.
The mandatory weeklong orientation session, conducted in Seville at the beginning of the program, introduces you to the country, culture, and academic program, as well as provides practical information about living in Spain. It includes both structured activities and independent sightseeing, Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop. All housing options have internet access, and the CIEE Study Center and both universities have wireless Internet access for your use. You'll also be allowed to use the computers at the CIEE Study Center, but for academic purposes only.
The academic program is supplemented with field trips and excursions to points of interest in Seville and Spain that highlight topics covered in class. Past excursions have included trips to Córdoba, Jérez, Aracena, Cádiz, and Morocco.
Every week an e-newsletter, Noticias desde Sevilla, is sent to students. It announces happenings around Seville and the cultural activities CIEE has planned to complement academic work.
You may also participate in the wide range of activities with Spanish students offered by the host institutions including hiking, choir, sports teams, and theater and cinema events.
You will participate in a three day trip to Morocco in order to experience first-hand language learning in a multilingual country. Visiting some important and beautiful cities such as Tangier, Tetouan, and Chef Chaouen, you will sit in on language classes in different schools and participate in a language exchange with Moroccan education/English majors.
A conversation exchange program with Spanish students is an important part of the program. Intercambios will give you the chance to practice what you are learning in the language courses, as well as help you become more integrated into Spanish student life, and Sevillano life and culture.
Community Involvement
You will have the opportunity to work with children and the elderly, as well as other humanitarian associations. You may also become involved in such international organizations as Amnesty International. Volunteer teaching opportunities in local bilingual schools are also available.
Founded in 2005, the CIEE Teaching Development program is designed for students who are considering a career in teaching foreign languages. Through the CIEE program, students take courses focused on education and teaching alongside Spanish students at the Universidad de Sevilla and/or the Universidad Pablo de Olavide (UPO). Students may also register for CIEE classes offered through the Liberal Arts program.
Students gain valuable hands-on experience teaching English in an international and multilingual environment. CIEE places students as teachers in local schools at different levels: preschool, primary, secondary, and pre-univeristy.
Prior to departure for Seville, all students are required to take a CIEE online placement exam during the scheduled exam period: mid-November to mid-December for the spring semester and mid-May to mid-June for the fall. The purpose of this exam is to determine the student's level of Spanish for appropriate placement in language courses. Students should take this exam seriously, as placement in many upper-level courses depends upon a high online placement exam score.
CIEE has a writing center staffed by language professors and Spanish students majoring in Spanish philology. CIEE organizes tutorials for students to help them in reading, writing, comprehension, and speaking, which may help them progress more readily in those content courses taught exclusively in Spanish. Tutorials are also offered for regular University courses.
Classes are scheduled Monday through Friday and meet two to three times a week. Instruction is usually lecture style. Final exams for classes at UPO may be taken by the end of the CIEE program during both semesters, if necessary. At the Universidad de Sevilla, official exams take place in January for the fall semester and June for the spring semester. In some cases professors may be willing to administer the final exam earlier (before Christmas in the fall and end of May in the spring), but CIEE is not responsible for arranging or guaranteeing early exams.
At the end of the fall semester, academic-year students have a break for the late December and early January holidays. Students who are enrolled in University classes must be back in Seville by January 6th to continue their classes and take their final exams. Students who choose to take the advanced literature class (LITT 3501 CSCS) during the spring semester Intensive Session must be back in Seville by the third week of January. All other academic-year students return the first week of February.
During the fall, there is no extended vacation period. During the spring, two vacation periods take place at the University: Semana Santa and Feria de Abril. While extracurricular activities and personal travel contribute to the student's experience, attendance in class is mandatory. Early departure for, or late return, from vacations is not allowed.
CIEE classes are with other CIEE students. Cursos para Extranjeros are with other American students and not with Spanish students. Students in regular University classes take classes with Spanish students.
Students take part in the CIEE Community Language Commitment by speaking Spanish at all times (except in emergencies). This fosters a learning community that will contribute to both Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society.
In CIEE courses, students are graded on the basis of mid-term and final examinations, class participation, and attendance. A paper in Spanish is required in many CIEE courses. In some regular University classes there may be term papers and, in others, only an oral or written final exam with the professor. Most Cursos para Extranjeros have a mid-term and final, but some professors still follow the Spanish system of giving a final exam only. In some cases, Cursos para Extranjeros professors include a final project or paper. Numerical grades are given based on a 10-point scale and converted to the U.S. grading scale.
All courses are taught by highly qualified professionals, many of whom are professors at the Universidad de Sevilla and UPO.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be cancelled due to insufficient enrollment.
To view the most recent syllabi for courses taught by CIEE at our Study Centers, visit our syllabi site.
Students are placed in the appropriate course level based upon the online language placement results and on site oral interview.
Cultural History of Spain
This course aims to give students a better understanding of Spanish history using Seville and its many historical sites as a classroom. This class is highly recommended for students with solid Spanish language skills and a background in Western European History.
Short Stories in Spain and Latin America
This class is designed especially for academic year students who want to continue language and literature study during the semester break in January. The objective of the class is to study short stories as a literary genre in Spain and Latin America from the 19th and 20th centuries.
Intensive Advanced Spanish Grammar
This is a dynamic and innovative class in which students work closely with professors to activate their passive language skills. It serves as an introduction to Spanish culture, society, and day-to-day life. Students are placed in small groups according to language level. Outside classroom assignments (such as visits to markets, stores, and churches, reading newspapers, etc.) help reinforce vocabulary and grammar learned in class. By strengthening language skills, students are better prepared to take academic subjects in Spanish.
Professional Teaching Development
This is an experiential learning course designed for people with no previous teaching experience. During the course, students develop familiarity (through exploration, analysis, discussion, and examples) with the principles of effective English as a Foreign Language (EFL) Teaching and a range of practical skills (from classroom management to textbook evaluation) for teaching young learners. The program includes teaching practice at a local school, EFL class observations and evaluations, teaching practice observation by an experienced teacher, one-on-one tutorials and group seminars. Recommended Credit: 4 semester hours/6 quarter hours.
Students choose at least one of these CIEE classes or a regular University class in the field of education and second language acquisition.
Psychology of Learning a Second Language
Bilingualism, Intercultural Communication, and Plural Identity
This course focuses on the definition of "intercultural" as experienced by people who cross cultures in today's world (either by choice or by circumstance), particularly university students taking part in a study and residence abroad program. Individual bilingualism is achieved by applying different types of language knowledge and skills to the actual use of two (or more) languages regularly, while intercultural competence is achieved by acquiring the awareness, skills, and attitudes necessary to effectively communicate between different cultures. This is an interdisciplinary course addressing major issues in foreign/second language teaching, individual bilingualism, intercultural communication, intercultural interaction, international business, psycholinguistics and cross cultural psychology, second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, sociolinguistic identity research, speech communication, and study abroad research.
Methodology of Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language
This class is designed especially for students who want to pursue a career in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. Students are exposed to the latest approaches to teaching Spanish, including communication skills, linguistic levels, and group work.
Check the Seville Liberal Arts program section of this catalog for the lists of CIEE courses and Cursos para Extranjeros that Teaching Development students may take for the two elective classes.
The following classes are highly recommended for students participating in this program. When choosing regular University courses, it is recommended that students concentrate in their major to ensure that they have sufficient background in the subject area. Please check with resident staff to confirm availability. Students interested in direct registration classes may request syllabi and confirm semester offering with resident staff.
As the resident staff have the responsibility for recommending students for admission into regular University classes, they reserve the right to require students to take on extra work in language study during the remainder of the semester should they deem it advisable. Credit is not provided for the extra work.
Please check the list of classes in the Seville Advanced Liberal Arts section of this catalog if you would like to take classes in other disciplines.

2011 has seen overtaking at levels not seen for decades, prompting many to hail this year's changes. However, some observers have claimed that qualifying is now almost an irrelevance. Mark Webber's recovery from a disastrous qualifying session to finish on the podium in China left some thinking that it was hardly worth bothering with qualifying and that drivers were better off saving tyres. However, has the increased ease with which passes can be made really produced surprise results, with no relation to the starting order? And which races produced the most mixed up results?
A simple way to look at this is the see how the position of the drivers finishing the race correlates with the order in which they started. Note, not their starting position – removing the non-finishers from the equation eliminates the artificial gains of drivers at the back of the grid benefiting simply from retirements up ahead of them. Cue, the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient which for a perfectly correlation (in our case, the drivers finish in the order they started in) gives a value of one, and a value of zero if there is statistically speaking, no correlation (and a value of negative one in the unlikely case of them finishing in the reverse order to which they left the grid in.)
Looking at the season so far, it may not be surprising that the opening race of the year, in Melbourne, was completed in an order most similar to that in which they started in. Eight of the fourteen finishers completed the race in the exact same position they started in and the other six only made minor gains and losses – Vitaly Petrov's climb from sixth to third being the biggest mover. Nor is it any shock to see that Canada and Britain produced the most mixed up finish as the influence of the weather came into play. However, even their correlations of 0.75 and 0.76 respectively are not the sign of a remarkably chaotic race, although it's fair to admit they ignore the way Jenson Button went about winning in Montreal – there are easier ways of going from seventh to first. To put the values into context, the thrilling 2009 Brazilian Grand Prix, which saw a mixed up grid after a wet qualifying session, scored a 0.31 as the back of the grid tore through the field while many of the front-runners tripped up as Button claimed his World Drivers' crown.
However, who would have thought that statistically speaking, the German Grand Prix was actually quite a dull affair? The front three may have been nose-to-tail for almost the entire race but that's pretty much where they had started. Kamui Kobayashi's climb up the field and Sebastien Buemi's recovery from the back of the grid after being excluded from qualifying the only major changes.
Similarly, who had Spain down as the most surprising dry race – a circuit renowned for "always" being won from pole? Mark Webber proved that assumption wrong, of course, and Nick Heidfeld's charge from the back of the field to eventually finish eighth wasn't the only substantial change. That got me thinking as to how a circuit widely considered one of two most boring tracks in Spain Formula One has faired in recent years. Curiously, while 2008 was a statistical procession, the race has enjoyed a reasonably healthy degree of changes of position, even if drivers were reliant on the pitlane in the past. However, it's also noteworthy that while 2011's new rules have increased overtaking, that hasn't necessarily impacted on the eventual result. However, is the pattern of the last three years repeated on other circuits, after all – Barcelona featured one of the more ineffectual DRS zones of the year so far?
What about Istanbul Park, for example? The Turkish Grand Prix was criticised by many for having too long a DRS zone that was making overtaking too easy. Yet the race finish correlation is slightly above the average of 0.84 – although removing the wet races moves that average upwards. The reason is, that for all the incredible number of overtakes in Turkey, normal running order was eventually returned once each cycle of pitstops was completed. However, while it was still an improvement on the previous two years it didn't compare to the 2008 running of the race although a first lap puncture for the front-row starting Heikki Kovalainen ruined his race and help skew the statistics.
But what about the race that almost every fan seems to hate? The European Grand Prix at the Valencia Street Circuit? Last year's running turns out not to have been all that bad, at least from a statistical point of view but by-and-large, when it comes to accusations of "processional", the stats agree with the fans for once.
Ultimately, all this really says is that the fastest car/driver combinations succeed, whether that means putting it on the front row of the grid or wrapping up a podium finish. For all the overtaking seen this year, it still doesn't add a increased degree of unpredictability to the race. The only way that is achieved is by the ages old "method" of changing weather conditions. Perhaps Ecclestone was onto something with his sprinklers suggestion…

Publication: theday.com
Griswold — State police arrested a Jewett City man Monday who they say stole more than 60 storm drain covers from residential streets in the towns of Griswold, Lisbon and Plainfield.
Jeremy Gileau, 25, of 34 Phillips St. was charged with first-degree larceny, second-degree larceny and two counts of reckless endangerment in connection with the Griswold and Lisbon thefts. State police said they expect Plainfield police to lodge additional charges against Gileau for the thefts that occurred in that town.
The thefts occurred early last month. The Jewett City resident state troopers interviewed Gileau, who they say confessed to stealing the drain covers.
Replacing the storm drain covers cost the towns thousands of dollars, and the thefts put the public who live on and pass through the streets in danger, since these openings were left uncovered, state police said.
Gileau posted a $1,500 nonsurety bond and is scheduled to appear Feb. 20 in Norwich Superior Court.

Vikings DE Brian Robison shouldn't expect a Christmas card this winter from OT T.J. Lang, but he may see a FedEx package from the league office in his mailbox instead.
Robison delivered a cheap shot kick to Lang's private parts on Sunday in the second quarter of their game, which resulted in a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. The Green Bay offensive lineman said following the game he was still feeling the affects of Robison's foot.
"It was in the sweet spot," Lang told the Green Bay Press Gazette. "In my opinion, it was a pretty cowardly move. I didn't do anything dirty to the guy. I don't know what he was upset about. He decided to kick me right in the groin. You never want to see that in a football game. I'm just proud of the way I responded. I didn't throw any punches. It was really hard for me to keep my cool."
Robison apologized on Twitter for his actions, saying it was unintentional where his foot landed. That may not be enough, however, to prevent a fine from the league for his actions.

Just like with peak Spring vegetables, enjoying these treats can be as easy as taking a juicy bite, but we've rallied together five recipes that highlight each fruit's delectable essence. — Additional reporting by Hilary White Source: Shutterstock The Spring Fruit: Cherries What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While tart cherries are only available for a short few weeks in early Summer, Bing, Rainier, and other sweet varieties begin to pop up at markets in late Spring. Choose darker cherries, as they tend to be sweeter.

With a little green "handle," these berries are easy enough to eat on their own, but adding them to salads, cocktails, and desserts just spreads the springtime spirit!

But in 1947, a New York court ruled that since rhubarb is used primarily as a fruit for cooking purposes, it should be classified as such. Most familiar in pies and tarts, try this strikingly tart plant in a savory dish or two.

But it's well worth the extra effort because the succulent, sweet flesh is a luxurious addition to smoothies, cocktails, and other treats.

Dear Friends,
In 2007, we began an in-depth process involving people from all parts of the institution, with a goal of affirming our identity and core values, and developing a Vision Statement and five-year Strategic Plan for Newman University. I am happy to report that through the hard work and commitment of everyone, a comprehensive plan was created, which was enthusiastically approved in late February 2009 by the Board of Trustees.
The entire Strategic Plan consists of five sections, each of which has been developed in a collaborative process involving participants from across the university community. It begins with a newly designed one sentence Mission Statement that captures, boldly and succinctly, Newman University's distinct identity. Next come the Core Values of the university and a Vision Statement that envisions Newman in 2013. The meat of the Strategic Plan is contained in the Strategic Goals and Objectives section, which lays out the path that Newman will take to make its vision a reality. The Strategic Plan document closes with the Newman Code, a statement of the commitment of all of the individuals who make up the Newman University community.
This Strategic Plan showcases the hard work and dedication of many people across Newman University: faculty, staff, students, alumni, and trustees. We are proud of these efforts, but we know that the real work has just begun. We invite you to join with us over the next five years as we strive to make the vision contained in this plan a reality.
Caritas Christi Urget Nos!
The Charity of Christ Urges Us!

Sunwashed Linen
Freshly washed clothes hanging in the summer breeze.
- I love it
Very refreshing, clean and smells good.
- smells like powder
This scent is very fresh and clean smelling. It has a strong powder type of smell to it in my opinion. Its not what I expected but not a bad scent at all. I think clean cotton would be more to my liking. Used in GB 464.
- perfection
I used 1 oz of this fragrance with 8 oz of of the 464 gb wax and after three days of curing I did a burn test. Wow! I was so surprise on how fresh and clean it smells. It has a great cold throw and hot throw. Love it! :)
- oooh so clean
What a great clean scent. It has a bit of a Downey-type smell. I used GB 464 (1oz per lbs) and it resulted in a nice throw. I will be adding more scent on the next go round but all in all... great Fragrance. Highly recommend.
- Accurate and refreshing scent.
Accurate smell, good cold and hot throw, as good as any name brand linen candle.

 Personally, I prefer the Clean Cotton to this, but this is still a good scent. I doubt you would be disappointed with either.
- Love This Scent
My customers and I love this scent so much I purchased a big bottle.
- My FAVORITE!
So fresh and so clean clean clean smelling! love this scent!
Clean and fresh. First customer who smelled this fragrance ordered a dozen candles so she would not run out. Has become top favorite to all - including me. Love it.
- Must Have For Spring & Summer Line
Smells just like fresh, clean laundry and is very strong.

This is a wonderful scent! GREAT seller...You will not be dissapointed!
- Great throw for soy candles
This one surprised me - it wasn't strong at first in my soy candles but then after 48 hours it "popped"! I only had to use 1 oz. for 16 oz. of soy wax. It definitely smells like the name - you can't go wrong.
- Super!
I can't put my finger on it, but it definately smells of just-washed linen! Everyone that has smelled this has oohed and ahhhed over it. Very fresh and clean!

NEW YORK (AP) — NYC Transit is investigating an Internet video that shows a man playing with a live chicken aboard a subway.
Spokesman Charles Seaton said Thursday it also was looking into whether the Tuesday incident on the uptown No. 6 train was real.
He said no passengers reported it.
The video shows the man hugging and kissing the chicken as passengers look on and laugh.
The video was posted to a rider's blog and later picked up by the Gothamist, a blog operator.
The blogger wrote the man appeared to be homeless and oblivious to his surroundings.
Seaton said only service animals and those in containers are permitted in the subway system.

Help transform lives by supporting educational projects around the world.
Working in impoverished parts of the world, INTO Giving helps provide young people with sustainable routes to better lives by improving their access to education.
INTO Giving, the charitable arm of INTO University Partnerships, is about harnessing the talent, resources and commitment of all those working with INTO and the wider community to advance the education of less privileged young people living in difficult circumstances.
Parents everywhere share a desire to give their children the best possible start in life but, sadly, a basic education is still beyond the reach of many young people around the world. Through our projects we aim to improve levels of educational participation and achievement among those who need it most.
Every day 57 million orphans miss out on school
They will grow up with lower incomes, lower life expectancies and health outcomes. They are often more vulnerable to natural disasters, exploitation and abuse.
This is why INTO Giving continues to support projects like the CCEE, where we can make a difference by creating greater access to education and by working in partnership to improve the quality of that education.
Food - an educational essential
A generous donation by the local Spar shop means that the orphans and vulnerable children at the Chawama Centre for Education and Empowerment are now able to eat lunch.
Each week the shop donates five bags of mealie meal to the school so that the children can have a midday meal, enabling them to stay at school for the full day - if they don't get lunch, they are unable to concentrate in the afternoons.
INTO Giving would really like to thank the shop for their help. For more about our work in Zambia, click here.
An unforgettable experience
On August 11th an INTO Giving team of six flew out to Lusaka, Zambia to help out on the annual orphans summer camp run by I-CCO (In-Community Care for Orphans).
"For all of us the experience was great fun, extremely tiring, very hot but incredibly rewarding and we would all love to return next year." – agreed INTO Giving director, Nicola Burness-Smith, three of her family and the two friends who participated in this self-funded 8 day trip.

Sid Richardson started working at Goodyear 70 years ago this month in the midst of World War II and the Jim Crow south.
Richardson remembers having to work in seperate areas of the Goodyear plant and use seperate locker rooms from white people. He called it "an ugly time."
What a difference 70 years makes.
This week, to celebrate his longetivity at the company's East Gadsden plant, Richardson was given his own, marked parking spot; a special comemmorative coin from Goodyear's CEO; a proclamation from Governor Robert Bentley, presented to him by State Sen. Phil Williams (R-Rainbow City); a patch with the word "Legend" that appears where his name normally would, on his blue work uniform; and several days of festivities, including a factory-wide cookout.
"This is something I'll never forget, and I know my family won't," Richardson told Fox6 News. "We really enjoyed it."
Richardson's time includes time spent fighting in Europe during World War II as part of the army. He's held four jobs in the plant during his years and in his current capacity, he drives a forklift.
Richardson says besides the long, long-gone segregation policies, other big changes at the plant include the expansions, and ironically fewer workers. He said some 4,000 were employed at what was then the world's largest tire plant when he began working. The plant now employs half of that.
Other changes include the tires: military tires for the war effort in 1943; large whitewalls in the 1950s--he says they were called "gangster tires"; and the modern radial tires that often go on Chrysler automobiles. The biggest change may have been automation.
Richardson is a married father of seven. He says one of the reasons he hasn't retired is because he has no hobbies, so he just heads to the plant for eight hours, five days a week.
"If I ever find out why people retire, then I'm going to retire. But I haven't found out why people retire," he says, "and that's the reason I keep on working."
When we asked him if he loves his job, he surprised us with his answer.
"It's not really that I love the job that much, I love what they're going to give me every week. Besides my wife, she loves that check every week and not once a month."
