|Dear Vanderkemp—
|Quincy December. 26. 13.
Be not anxious. I am not Jealous. Had your Packett arrived one day sooner, I should have delivered it in Person to Mr and Mrs Quincy, at this House, I shall I shall Send it to Boston where they now live, by the first opportunity.
Mrs Adams is very low, in consequence of a pulmonary fever of
dangerous Symptoms; but she is So much better as to bid me tell you She should have
answerd your
Letter very polite Letter, but for this Sickness: and She begs
me add that She looks now ten times worse, than when She frightened You so much. I too
have been Sick and am so Still. We have neither of us any need of Phillip's daily
morning Monitor "Memento mori."
You can Scarcely Say too much in praise of Luzac or yourself, in the Judgement of Mrs A or her Husband, What think you of Free thinking? Free Speaking? and Free Writing? Is there a Man in his Senses, now upon our Globe, who dares to speak his mind? Is there a Country in which he could do it, without Persecution and Martyrdom? Think not these questions foolish. They are very grave and Solemn. I add was there ever such a Man or such a Country.
Our Theologians, liberal candid and critical as they are, now Sett
up Alexander Hamilton, Fisher Ames and Theophilus Parsons as great Authorities in
support of Revelation. Suppose I should publish, what I fully believe, that neither of
the three knew more of the controversy than they did about the Shasta and the Koran and
the immortal Lama do you think I could walk the Streets without having my brains beat
out? I might: but Calumny is worse than Death: worse than the Stoning of Stephen. I
should be help up in the Pulpit and the Pres, and what is worse, circulated in private
Letters and
Several Secret Whispers as a Deiest An Atheist, and the Devil
knows. what, An Embargo is laid on all your Lucubrations. And why? Have you the Freedom
of the Press! The Repository cannot live. And Why? Thousands of Cartloads of Trash
foreign and domestic circulate freely and Sell well.
The Syllabus is returned, according to plighted honour and the Phylosopher would be unwise to let a Copy be taken. Repose is all that he or I can desire.— Neither Monticello nor Mount Wollaston are ambitious of being quoted as Authorities in the Science of Theology. It has not been our Profession. We should make no great Figure, nor even any little discoveries in Controversises that have employed the Minds of Phylosophers, Divines Statesmen Generals and Armies for 5 or 6 thousand years and deluged our Globe in blood. You mentioned and I have ecchoed Mount Wollaston: but I have a great mind to Change the Name of this little Hillock from Mount Wallaston to Shepherds Hill. The Sound is less pompous The Hill is in the Center of a Sheep Pasture and the Sunny Side of it very Suitable for a Shepherds Cot. If I was worth a hundred pure Marinos I would not hesitate.
A metaphisical ill nature New England Historian might Surmise another Motive. That Emminence, or Protuberance was owned, after the Indians by Shepherds, two Clergymen, one of Cambridge the other of Charleston, who by all that I have read or heard were the most learned, the most candid and the least Superstitious of all the Priests who first emigtated to New England. Such names deserve commemoration more than a mere Sea Captain of whome nothing is known but his Name—
To the suprise of the Publick, a Mr
English, a young Preacher has renounced his Profession and commenced an Attaack upon th
Christian Religion. I could get the Book but for an hour and have not read Mr Careys nor Mr Channings Notices
of it. But neither Mr English and Mr Carey nor Mr Channing will throw any new Light
upon this great Subject which has employed all the Learning Genious and Talents of the
world for so many Centuries. I wish they would endeavour to enlighten the darkness of
three the three first Centruies especially the first, or at least lay
together in a Short Compass all that can now be known , I have read Lardner and Jones.
They give us their very learned Opinions but I want their Witnesses, their Authorities
and their Praats Abdias and Hegesippus and are not inspired Oracles—
The Bible is the best Book in the World and for that reason among a thousand others, I want to know more about it—
I am, my dear Sir, as ever yours
John Adams—

UCSD researcher on Time 100 listThis just in from UCSD's website — UCSD researcher V.S. Ramachandran has made "TIME Magazine's 2011 TIME 100 list. The list identifies the most 100 influential people in the world according to the magazine.
Others on this year's list include President Obama, Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, rock legend Patti Smith, TV pioneer Oprah Winfrey and Wael Ghonim, the Google executive credited with helping fire up the recent revolution in Egypt.
With his simple, creative and innovative ideas," writes Thomas Insel, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, in TIME, "V.S. Ramachandran is changing how our brains think about our minds."
"What Ramachandran (often called just "Rama") does, and does proudly — reveling in how "low-tech" his method is and how "Victorian" its inspiration – is to work intensively with patients who have specific psychiatric or behavioral dysfunctions that might illuminate the functions of the normal brain.
Ramachandran hopes that the TIME honor will open up some new research possibilities for him, with people who may have not heard of him before, he said, contacting him as a result of the exposure and volunteering to be studied.

Law Firm Worker Sits Alone at Front of Line to Purchase Chicago's First iPad Tomorrow
Posted Apr 2, 2010 11:48 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
Despite all the hoopla about the Apple's new iPad, which goes on sale tomorrow, a worker at a criminal defense firm in is not only the first but, as of this morning, the only person in line to purchase one at the Apple store on Chicago's famed Michigan Avenue shopping district.
Cheline Lundin, 25, had already preordered a 16-gigabyte version of the tablet-like computer and telephone for $499. But a Good Friday holiday at her firm made it possible for her to stake a place at the front of the line to enhance her chance of getting the city's first iPad tomorrow, reports the Chicago Sun-Times.
A manager at the store bought Lundin a double shot, sugar free, vanilla soy latte at Starbucks to supplement the granola bar and bottle of water she had at hand this morning as she sat outside the store's door in a lawn chair, and Lundin pronounced the drink "delicious." However, she was sorry to see that her expected overnight vigil, at least initially, may be a lonely one.
"I'm very disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm by Midwesterners," she tells the newspaper.

Is it possible to make a phonecall from a midlet?
Is it possible to make a phonecall from a midlet?
No. To be completely sure: no in MIDP 1.0.
However I'm almost sure that in MIDP 2.0 this is also true.
Some manufactures can add API for it.
Yes you can. There is a sample program available in the forum for download.
Filename: A_MIDlet_Example_Using_the_WMA_and_the_Nokia_SMS_API_v1_0.pdf
My understanding is that the Nokia SMS API v1.0 is a precursor to WMA. Also, this API is available initially for the Nokia3410 only.
He is asking about making calls, not sending SMS
Yeah. I realized that after the post. I was intending to reply to his other inquiry on the possibility of doing SMS in a MIDlet. I also noticed that you already have a reply to his SMS inquiry.
In Midp 2.0 you can make a call:

Irish films are more popular than ever -- with great movies made by award-winning filmmakers including Jim Sheridan and Neil Jordan and featuring popular stars Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy. Here is our list of the top ten Irish films.
1. Bloody Sunday
Paul Greengrass's harrowing film about the historical day looks as if it was an actual documentary, and the immediacy is overwhelming.
2. In the Name of the Father
Based on Gerry Conlon's autobiography, Jim Sheridan's In the Name of the Father tells the tumultuous and wrenching tale of a man wrongfully imprisoned in 1974 for the bombing of a London pub. Daniel Day-Lewis stars as Conlon, a young Irish petty thief who gets falsely accused. If you like this, also check out another fantastic collaboration between Jim Sheridan and Daniel Day-Lewis: The Boxer.
3. The Commitments
4. The Crying Game
In Neil Jordan's psychological thriller, a reluctant agent of the Irish Republican Army discovers that some people just aren't who you expect them to be. Fergus (Stephen Rea) is an IRA "volunteer" who, despite personal misgivings, takes part in the kidnapping of a black British soldier, Jody (Forest Whitaker), stationed in Northern Ireland. After befriending the soldier, Fergus promises to look after his girlfriend Dil (Jaye Davidson).
5. The Magdalene Sisters
The Magdalene Sisters is a bold, shocking and powerful film. Through the fictional stories of three Irish girls, Peter Mullins (Orphans) recreates a shameful period in history that has been hushed up for decades.
6. Once
John Carney's lo-fi musical about a Dublin busker and an immigrant single mother who meet in the streets and record a demo tape together is a real charmer. The film received standing ovations and the Audience Award at Sundance, and won an Oscar for Best Original Song.
7. The Wind That Shakes the Barley
Ken Loach's The Wind That Shakes The Barley, winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival, is a searing story of two brothers whose loyalties are put to the ultimate test in the fight for Irish independence. The always wonderful Cillian Murphy stars.
8. Intermission
Set in a small town in Ireland, John Crowley's ensemble drama is a rich, nuanced film - crowded with lovely moments and complicated stories. Rising stars Colin Farrell, Shirley Henderson, Kelly MacDonald, and Cillian Murphy lead the terrific cast.
9. In America
Samantha Morton, Paddy Considine and Djimon Hounsou star in Jim Sheridan's drama about Irish immigrants who come to America in the 1980s.

It's been almost 2 years since this remake/revival/reimagining/re-whatever you want to call it, was first announced.
Back in early 2010, New Line Cinema was said to be looking for recruits to relaunch the Police Academy franchise movie, with original producer Paul Maslansky back for the encore, which had no writer or director attached at the time.
Fast-forward to today... a new announcement says that New Line Cinema is still in the mix, hiring Scott Zabielski to direct the remake.
Who's Scott Zabielski? Well, one thing he will be doing is making his feature directorial debut with this project, after directing episodes of hit Comedy Central show Tosh.0 (never watched it). Deadline also notes that he once served as a reserve pollie officer in West Hollywood, so he has some experience with a real-life police academy.
The original Police Academy movie spawned 6 sequels from Warner Bros. All told, the franchise took in about $240 million worldwide and inspired a pair of TV series.
But this isn't another sequel, it's a brand new take on the low-brow comedy.
The series, released in the 80s and early 90s, actually had 3 African American characters in the starring ensemble cast - Bubba Smith, Michael Winslow, and Marion Ramsey. Might the relaunch feature the same group of misfit recruits? That remains to be seen. But if it does, then who can we expect to be cast in the above 3 black roles?
Here's a trailer for the very first movie in the series:
Tamara | January 10, 2012 11:14 AM
Who would they replace the three black leads with, I wonder? If indeed they do so at all?
Police Academy is classic for me. Just nuts and crazy 80s comedy that I got in trouble for watching. LOL. I don't know that the kind of "magic" the franchise has can be recreated. It's hit or miss with most.
Neziah | January 9, 2012 9:07 PM
What a waste. The series should've ended after the first.
jacetoon | January 9, 2012 8:53 PM
"then who can we expect to be cast in the above 3 black roles?" Nope see 21 Jump Street reboot.

It's Week 14, the playoff race is coming into focus, and Norv Turner and A.J. Smith are finally going to get fired. Life is good! Time for Picks. (All winners in bold.)
Ravens at Redskins (-2.5) -- If this Redskins team makes the playoffs and Robert Griffin III doesn't win MVP, that award basically becomes as meaningless as an ESPY.
Titans at Colts (-5.5) -- This seems like an ideal place for the Colts to have a letdown game, but we've reached the point in Andrew Luck's career where you'll ultimately win more money betting on him all the time than trying to cherrypick the one or two games where he may struggle. And the inverse is true for this Titans team, so...
Jets (-2.5) at Jaguars -- From Wikipedia:
Early symptoms are malaise and lethargy ... patients develop shortness of breath and bone pain. Other symptoms include skin changes with roughness, easy bruising and petechiae, gum disease, loosening of teeth, poor wound healing, and emotional changes. Dry mouth and dry eyes similar to Sjögren's syndrome may occur. In the late stages, jaundice, generalized edema, oliguria, neuropathy, fever, and convulsions, and eventual death are frequently seen.
This game will give you scurvy.
Bears (-3) at Vikings -- REMINDER: It is a tragedy for all of us that Adrian Peterson is stuck on the Vikings.
But lest we get all down, Ponder is now engaged to ESPN's Samantha Steele, and both of them seem pretty great, so that's cool. He proposed by spelling out "Marry Me" in Christmas lights on his house--that's some pretty romantic shit there. Good for him.
Good for them!
Love actually IS all around us.
Now please someone trade Adrian Peterson to a team that's not quite this shitty.
Falcons at Panthers (+3.5) -- Gruden to the Panthers? Maybe! It actually doesn't matter who the Panthers hire this offseason as long as they fire the coaches they have now. Read this article. Getting rid of Ron Rivera will be like multiplication by subtraction. Of course, if someone could just teach Cam Newton some LIFE LESSONS 101, maybe the Panthers would be Super Bowl bound and we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
Eagles (+7.5) at Bucs -- Now the Eagles... THERE'S a team that would be awful with or without their awful coach. And speaking of awful coaches, congratulations to Greg Schiano for crashing another victory formation and nearly starting a brawl on the field in Denver last week! The ultimate signature of a Schiano-coached football team.
Rams (+3) at Bills -- I wish I knew how to grab NFL highlights, because someone really needs to put together a video of Greg Zuerlein -- a.k.a. YOUNG G.Z. -- kicking/celebrating field goals with a young Young Jeezy blasting in the background. (Note: If this were happening with an nerdy NBA player named G.Z., a Jeezy mashup would have happened 8 weeks ago. More proof that the NBA internet is 10,000 times better than the NFL internet.)
Chiefs (+6.5) at Browns -- New soul-crushing details emerge from the Jovan Belcher story every day, the Browns also had a team employee commit suicide last weekend, and thinking about both teams playing this game just makes me sad. Instead, let's just watch this video to remember that the world isn't always so awful:
(HT: @19jms)
Cowboys (+3) at Bengals -- It would be very Cowboys to make a late playoff push here and get everyone's hopes up by heading into Week 16 at 8-6, then lose the final two games to go 8-8 and finish 7th in the NFC, then bring Jason Garrett back next year because of the team's progress during the second half of the year. Not saying that's exactly what's going to happen here, but it would be a very Cowboys thing to do.
Dolphins at 49ers (-10) -- Did you know Colin Kaepernick has a pet tortoise named Sammy?
via Niners Nation
Related: This is great:
Now along comes Kaepernick. Since taking over for Alex Smith two games ago, he has convinced everybody in the Bay area that he's the second coming of Steve Young.
Smith is coming back from a concussion, ushering in the attendant QB controversy. But he is looking like Wally Pipp and Kaepernick is Lou Gehrig. All I can do is look in the mirror and sigh.
Forgive me, but I suffer from turtle-ism. I have no turtles, and I don't want any. I know that attitude qualifies me for an AARP card, and I've tried to get with it.
I realize turtles are ways to pay homage to your religion, children and motorcycle gang. I'm cool with LeBron James looking like a turtle conservationist.
I still cringe when I go to the gym and see middle-aged women with a pet turtle as her phone background. They have bigger arms than I, so I never make fun. But I can't shake the notion that a person's home is a temple, and you don't fill temples with shell-covered reptiles.
I am 100 percent on the Colin Kaepernick/Tortoise bandwagon.
Cardinals at Seahawks (-10) -- Notes from Doug Farrar at Shutdown Corner:
- "Over his last four games, Andrew Luck has completed 89 passes in 167 attempts for 1,192 yards, eight touchdowns and nine interceptions."
- "Over his last four games, Robert Griffin III has completed 69 passes in 102 attempts for 882 yards, nine touchdowns, and one interception."
- "Over his last four games, Russell Wilson has completed 72 passes in 107 attempts for 878 yards, nine touchdowns, and no interceptions."
It's actually great that Wilson struggled early in the year, because for a second there it looked like he was going to be engulfed by the "HE'S AN UNDERDOG WHO JUST WINS" stories that would have slowly driven us all insane. Now? He's quietly playing great, the Seahawks are lurking as a potential killer in the NFC, and because he's been upstaged by bigger names, he actually is the underdog who just keeps winning, only now we can enjoy it all without being waterboarded with stories about Russell Wilson's intangibles. This is awesome, and so are the Seahawks.
Saints (+4.5) at Giants -- Six months after the entire world wondered how the NFL could possibly monitor whether Sean Payton communicates with his team in 2012, the New York Times chimes in to ask the same thing:
Rick Nelson, a counterterrorism and intelligence expert who works at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said in a telephone interview that "from a technical perspective, there's really very little the N.F.L. can do" to keep Payton from being in touch with his coaches or players if he wants to make contact. Nelson ran down a long list of potential options for discreet communication, including dummy Twitter accounts, disposable cellphones and encrypted e-mails.
This is notable because A) They actually interviewed a counterterrorism expert about this, and B) Imagining Sean Payton purchasing disposable cell phones every week to talk about the Saints' awful defense is really a wonderful image. Does he wear a disguise to buy them? What could he possibly say that would change anything at this point? All of which is to say, it sounds like Sean Payton might be a much sadder, more desperate version of Stringer Bell.
Also from that Times piece:
In terms of trying to monitor Payton's activities, Nelson added, the N.F.L.'s options are limited. The league is restricted by basic privacy laws...
NOPE. Don't believe that the NFL's restricted by anything at this point. Roger Goodell would absolutely illegally tap Sean Payton's phone if he could.
Which reminds me:
The headline, the subscript, the way millions of people will see it in airports and nod without thinking, the look on Goodell's face... God that cover is infuriating.
Drew Magary actually read the story and has the appropriate response over at Deadspin -- complete with a perfect Dazed and Confused reference -- but from now one when anyone asks why I hate the NFL in 2012, I will just forward them that cover and be done with it. We're past the point of coherent arguments here; let's just keep republishing that smarmy image of THE ENFORCER until everyone gets angry enough to start a revolution.
Lions (+6.5) at Packers -- It's now December and the Packers still look kinda crappy for about 60 percent of every game they play. The defense is overrated, the offense is inconsistent, and all of this means that they are probably going to win the Super Bowl.
Texans (+3.5) at Patriots -- LET'S GO TEXANS.

And Now, Introducing. . . Deep-Fried Bubblegum!!!

posted Sep 7 2011 9:45AM
Every year, state fairs across America try to find new ways to DEEP FRY FOOD. But NONE of them can touch the brilliant frying minds at the Texas State Fair. It draws the cream of the frying crop.
--The Texas State Fair opens on September 30th. And this year, the deep-fried offering that's got everyone talking is . . .
--Now . . . they don't actually batter a stick of Big Red and drop it in the deep fryer. Apparently that doesn't work. The fried bubblegum is a deep-fried marshmallow that's flavored with pink bubblegum extract, then covered in frosting and Chicklets.
--Here are some of the other food creations that will be making their debut at the Texas State Fair . . .
--Deep-fried SALSA.
--Deep-fried sauerkraut and pork sausage ball.
--A taco served in a bag of nacho cheese-flavored Doritos.

Many markers struggle constantly with how to best spend their marketing time and dollars wisely.
What is the best method? The best system? Which ones yield the most results for the least cost?
In time, effort and money, we all have spent our due for the most part, and it's none tOo easy for anyone starting out.
With the wealth of information there's no way someone's head won't spin, and eyes glazed over they might even give up.
But it's not for lack of trying or persistence, to a point.
So what I have tried to put my arms around for a while is a good way to quantify the problem and help address some of the issues so often faced.
I can't count the number of people I have spoken with who are exhausted, exasperated, disappointed and deflated.
But in thinking this over the thought occurred to me that it can be quantified, and at least made a bit more manageable with a readjusted approach, a tune up if you will of our marketing efforts.
While there are many ways to go about it, I've always endeavored to recommend the best methods available for the struggling entrepreneur and only those which have provided me with visible and sometimes exciting results that I can share with you on this webinar.
So see if you like this video it's just 5 minutes – and let me know your thoughts, I'd love some feedback!

News: Drake Battled Alicia Keys On Duet Record, "It Was Probably One Of The Best Moments Of My Career" [Video]
Tuesday, Dec 8, 2009 10:30AM
Young Money's rising star Drake has talked about his "Unthinkable" collaboration with Alicia Keys.
Drake called his experience with the Grammy-winning singer one of his most cherished moments of his music career.
"Alicia Keys, they reached out and she said she really wanted me to do something on her project but she wanted me to do me, not do an Alicia Keys record," Drake explained in an interview. "And man, she gave me one of the best studio experiences in my life, like when I got there, instead of being like 'All right, here's the beat, get to work,' [she said] play me your favorite songs and let's battle. Let's battle. You play me your favorite record, we'll go one-for-one. You play me a record and I'll play you a record. And everybody was in the studio and -- it was turning into this heated party, we were all just loving music, you know? It almost like transitioned from great music to making a song, no one even noticed it but she started playing keys and I just started writing melodies and we came up with a song that I think could really be a big record for her song. I wrote most of the record and she produced it...It was probably one of the best moments of my career." (Rap-Up)
Keys has also enlisted Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce Knowles, for her upcoming The Element of Freedom.
Earlier this month, Alicia Keys said since her album, The Element of Freedom, was pushed back from Dec. 1 to Dec. 15, she used the additional time to work on possibly "the most exciting collaborations of my career yet." Now her label, J Records, confirms the album includes a duet with Beyonce as well as one with newcomer Drake. "Put It In A Love Song" features Beyonce, while "Unthinkable (I'm Ready)" has background vocals by Drake. (Billboard)
The album's tracklisting has also been released to the public.
"Element of Freedom" (Intro) "Love Is Blind" "Doesn't Mean Anything" "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart" "Wait Til You See My Smile" "That's How Strong My Love Is" "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)" featuring Drake "Love Is My Disease" "Like the Sea" "Put It in a Love Song" featuring Beyonce Knowles "This Bed" "Distance and Time" "How It Feels to Fly" "Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down" (Ace Showbiz)
Speculation about an Alicia Keys/Drake collaboration landed online last month.
The "Best I Ever Had" hitmaker is reportedly featured on a song from Keys' fourth album The Element of Freedom, due December 15. Her longtime producer Kerry "Krucial" Brothers broke the news on Twitter. "'If you have something to say... U should say it right now,'" he wrote, possibly quoting the unnamed song's lyrics. "Wow this new Ak and Drake is fire! I love my job." (Rap-Up)

Safe and NaturalThe micro-organisms in Florajen probiotics are the same "good bacteria" that occur naturally in healthy people. Florajen contains the same strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus used by most yogurt companies in the United States since 1973, yet it is dairy-free.
Highly Potent and EffectiveResearch has shown that to be effective, probiotic supplements must contain billions of live cells. While many off-the-shelf probiotics fall far short of this standard, each Florajen capsule contains over 20 billion live cells.
Refrigerated for Freshness and PotencyContinuous refrigeration maintains Florajen's freshness and high potency from the time it is manufactured to the time it is purchased. Look for Florajen in the refrigerated section of your health food store or ask your pharmacist.
Guaranteed High QualityManufactured in the U.S. in a world-class facility, all Florajen lot numbers are microbiologically tested for quality and safety according to current FDA and USP procedures and guidelines.
All Florajen products have a money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with them for any reason.
AffordableFlorajen probiotics provide more live cultures at a lower price than competitive products, making them a better value. Our founder believes that everyone should be able to afford the benefits of high quality probiotics. We focus on product quality, not advertising.
Probiotic SafetyProbiotics—especially those comprised of Lactobacillus and/or Bifidobacterium strains—are considered to be very safe for the generally healthy population. However, the following groups of people should consult with their healthcare professional before considering using probiotics.
About FlorajenAmerican Lifeline was founded in 1991 by one of the world's leading food bacteriologists, Dr. Robert Deibel, Chairman of the University of Wisconsin's Department of Bacteriology, and his colleague and respected food bacteriologist, David Sullivan.
Since its inception American Lifeline has pursued a scientific and highly ethical approach to its business. That is why Florajen is manufactured with enough live cells to work—over 20 billion per capsule—and it is priced so that everyone can afford its benefits.
The Florajen Promise to You
SafeFlorajen contains the exact same strain of Lactobacillus acidophilus used since 1973 by most of the yogurt companies in the United States, yet it's dairy-free.
AffordableAt less than 50 cents per capsule, Florajen is less than one-half the cost of a cup of yogurt.
It WorksEach refrigerated capsule contains over 20 billion live cultures to help restore balance to your intestinal or vaginal tract.
Take 1 to 3 capsules per day, or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.
Particle formation inside softgel is normal and dissolves after ingestion.
Do not use if taking anticoagulant drugs (such as Warfarin) or other medications.
If you take pharmaceuticals like blood pressure medications, warfarin, the glaucoma medication timolol, or you are being treated with chemotherapy, it is very important to tell your doctor that you are taking this product.

Rand Paul on Diplomacy
Rand Paul, The National Interest
The Associated Press
When I was about ten years old, I used to play chess with an old Ukrainian named Pete Karpenko. Captain Pete, as we called him, told us stories of fighting the Bolsheviks when he was fourteen years old. He and his family were little more than peasants but they resisted the idea of collective farming. He fought with the White Army against the Bolsheviks, and fled when the communists won. Fifty-five years later, he was still afraid to return to the Soviet Union. So, it's easy to understand that around my house, we had little use for communists or their sympathizers.

Graduation Application
Information Page
Please read the following statements before completing the application form.
How to Apply for Graduation
There are two choices available from this page – you can fill out an online graduation application, or you can download a printable version and return it to The Graduate School at 241 Mossman Bldg, 1202 Spring Garden St, Greensboro, NC 27412.
The application for graduation must be received by the end of the first week of classes of the term in which the degree will be granted. Degree and/or certificate candidates must comply with all deadlines set forth in The Graduate School calendar. Failure to do so will delay the candidate's graduation. These deadlines are necessary to enable everyone involved with the candidate's degree clearance to complete the process in an orderly and academically sound manner. Candidates who apply for a given graduation and fail to qualify must reapply for a later graduation. Diplomas and transcripts of students owing money to the University will be held until the account is cleared.
The graduation fee ($60 for master's and Specialist in Education; $75 for combined M.S./Ed.S.; $60 for doctorate) will be added to your student account. Payment should be made to the Cashiers and Student Accounts Office, UNCG, PO Box 26170, Greensboro, NC 27402-6170. There is no charge for Certificate candidates.
Final Plan of Study
If changes have been made to the Plan of Study, a revised Plan of Study must be submitted to the Graduate School by the end of the third week of classes of the semester in which the student applies for graduation.
All doctoral candidates, and master's candidates who are preparing a formal thesis, should be aware of the following deadlines (see the University's Academic Calendar).
- Final oral examination in defense of doctoral dissertation. Master's thesis candidates should check with their thesis committee chair.
- Submission of thesis/dissertation online with The Graduate School for approval.
- Submission of approved thesis/dissertation with The Graduate School.
Removal of Incomplete Grades
Policy concerning incomplete grades is frequently misunderstood. No grade of incomplete (I) may be carried beyond graduation, including incompleteness in courses not required for the degree. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that a final grade has been submitted prior to graduation. If a final grade has not been recorded by the deadline date for degree clearance, it is the student's responsibility to check with The Graduate School to determine his/her status. A GRADE OF I CANNOT BE REMOVED WITH A GRADE OF W.
Formatting and Submission of Dissertation
The dissertation must be formatted according to the instructions provided in the Guide for the Preparation of Theses and Dissertations. A copy of the guide can be obtained from The Graduate School or online at grs.uncg.edu/current/td-manual.
The dissertation must be submitted online to The Graduate School for approval following the final oral examination. The original signed title and approval pages must also be submitted to The Graduate School. Deadline dates for submission of the dissertation are listed on the University's Academic Calendar and in The Graduate School Bulletin under Calendar of Events.
Formatting and Submission of Thesis
The thesis must be formatted according to the instructions provided in the Guide for the Preparation of Theses and Dissertations. A copy of the guide can be obtained from The Graduate School or online at grs.uncg.edu/forms/T_dguide.pdf. A copy of your thesis must be submitted online to The Graduate School for approval prior to final sumbission, which must include the original signed title and approval pages. Deadline dates for submission of the thesis are listed on the University's Academic Calendar and in The Graduate School Bulletin under Calendar of Events.
Degrees are awarded after each semester and the second summer term. A commencement ceremony is held in December for Summer Session and Fall Semester graduates, and in May for Spring Semester graduates. Diplomas will be mailed to the student's permanent address as it is listed on the Application for Graduation unless a new address is provided.
For Students Seeking Professional School Licensure
Students Seeking Professional School Licensure should fill out the Graduate Licensure Application.
Continue to the Graduation Application Online Form, enter the Secure Area and log in. Select "Student & Financial Aid," then "Student Records," and "Apply to Graduate." Choose the "Graduate Degree Application."

The Don Bosco Dons come into the 2012 8-man playoffs, making just their second playoff appearance in school history. They took on a historically solid West Central Blue Devil team under Steve Milder.
In the first quarter, on just the third play from scrimmage, West Central running back Michael Lincoln broke free for a 40-yard touchdown run, his 37th rushing TD of the season, which is tops among all classes.
The Dons didn't waste any time responding though, on the next drive, Bosco QB Jake Hogan put a deep pass into the bread basket of Dylon Rhoads to take the Dons down to the 1-yard line. Tyler Backes broke free on the very next play to tie the game at 6-6.
Later in the first quarter, with the Dons ahead 14-6, Hogan took a high snap and scampered ten yards for the touchdown to put Don Bosco ahead 22-6.
In the second quarter, Hogan was on a roll through the air, until a tipped ball fell into the hands of Lincoln, who turned his interception into a touchdown to pull West Central within eight.
Late in the half, after two straight penalties, the Dons had a fourth-and-goal from the 24. Hogan escaped a few tacklers, and looked like he was headed for the end zone when the Blue Devils forced a fumble, but Rhoads jumped on the ball in the end zone for a Don Bosco touchdown.
The Dons added another touchdown late in the half to take a 34-14 lead into the break, and they wouldn't slow down in the second half. Don Bosco moves on to the second round of the playoffs with a 58-26 win over the Blue Devils.

|Vikings rain on Big Green's PCL hopes
|Monday, February 17, 2014 12:00 AM
By BOB WEBER
DHI Correspondent
OTTOVILLE — As the regular season nears the end for most high school teams and with championship titles on the line, the Leipsic Vikings came to the home of the Big Green Saturday night for their annual Putnam County League boys basketball matchup.
With the win on the evening, the Big Green could do no worse than tie for the league championship with either Miller City or Columbus Grove, who also played each other Saturday night and Miller City got the win.
The Vikings used a poor shooting performance from the home squad and a strong fourth period to come away with a 55-45 win.
The Vikings, under the leadership of head coach Scott Maag ,came out firing in the first quarter and grabbed an early 5-0 lead behind senior Zach Kuhlman. Kuhlman (8 points in the quarter) and his teammates grabbed an early 15-8 lead after the first eight minutes of play.
For the Big Green, only one shot fell in the first quarter - a 3-ball from senior Luke Schimmoeller. The Big Green went 5-6 from the charity line to add to their eight points in the quarter.
The second quarter again found the Big Green shooting woes continuing as they were only came away with two baskets, again by Schimmoeller, in the quarter. The home squad went 9-10 from the stripe to keep the game within reach at halftime.
Kuhlman kept the pressure on the Big Green the entire first half with nine points in the second quarter, giving him 17 of his team's 28 first-half points. He found the range from behind the arc and also had some very nice driving layups or pull-up jumpers that the Big Green just couldn't stop.
The Vikings led 28-21 after two quarters of play.
The third quarter found the Big Green's defense, especially on Kuhlman, paying big dividends for them. The Vikings only mustered four points in the quarter with Kuhlman only adding one free throw to his total on the night. Junior Tyler Roby came off the bench for the Big Green with eight points in the quarter and with his second 3-pointer of the quarter gave the Big Green their first lead on the night, 33-32, after three quarters of play. The Vikings were outscored 12-4 in the quarter.
Many games, especially tough league contests, usually come down to the fourth quarter and foul shooting. Foul shooting was not the issue for the Big Green as they went to the line 30 times on the night, connecting on 24 of them for 80 percent. However, the Big Green could only make nine shots from the field on 40 attempts (23%) for the contest.
For the purple and white of Leipsic, the fourth quarter was its biggest point total on the night with 23 points. The Vikings got a big boost off the bench from sophomore Matt Schroeder with 11 of his 13 points in the quarter. Sophomore Jordan Brown also had a big quarter with five of his seven points coming in the quarter. The Vikings were 10-14 (71%) from the foul line in the fourth period.
The Vikings' win against the Big Green evened their season record at 10-10. The Big Green, seeing their PCL title dreams vanished, now stand at 8-13 on the year and finish with a 5-2 mark in the league.
In the junior varsity contest, the Vikings came away with a 40-33 win. Sophomore Lorenzo Martin and freshman Hunter Meyer had 11 and 10 points, respectively, for the winners.
Alex Krouskop led the Big Green with a game-high 17 points.

In the five months since Karen Shahan was found dead in her home on Hugh Circle in Homewood, little has been said publicly about the victim.
But after the arrest of Reverend Richard Shahan in her murder, a friend and former co-worker of Karen Shahan is speaking out.
Reata Nix worked with Karen Shahan at Hobby Lobby in Homewood for a year and a half.
She describes the shock she felt upon hearing of Richard Shahan's arrest.
"I don't want to believe it, but I'm glad to see they're working on the case," said Nix. "To know that there's a break and there's something being done, that's a comfort to her friends and the people that knew her."
Nix describes Karen Shahan as "the sweetest human being that walked the face of the earth."
"If you could pick one person on the face of the earth to never make mad, to never be murdered, it would be her," Nix said.
Nix says Karen's co-workers at Hobby Lobby had many questions after her death and struggled to make sense of what happened to their friend. Her death was so painful, Nix says some co-workers had to take "cry breaks" from work to cope with their grief.
"She was probably the meekest, the most humble, most beautiful person that you would ever meet," Nix continued. "At Hobby Lobby we certainly enjoyed having her there. She was uplifting, she was always singing, she was always happy, she was never negative, she was the greatest person to be around. She was such a joy to be around. She's missed, she is missed terribly."
Nix said she occasionally saw Richard Shahan when he came into Hobby Lobby and she never sensed any problems in their marriage.
"She adored Richard, she loved him very much," Nix said of Karen Shahan.
"She spoke highly of him, she spoke often of him. She spoke about his missions. They were very much in church, she loved to talk about Jesus and what He did and what He does and how great it is to work with children. That was her life," explained Nix.
As the case moves forward, Nix hopes learning more about what happened to her friend will help bring some closure.
"I know she's in heaven and that makes me happy for her because I know she's actually in a better place than we are," said Nix. "But I hate the fact that she had to go, that she went so fast. We don't know how, so we can only assume how tragic it was."

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - The state of local politics in the Mahoning Valley is getting more interesting after a vote to endorse challenger attorney Susan Maruca over a sitting judge.
Probate Judge Mark Belinky said that there have been other investigations that have gone nowhere in reference to the state and federal search warrants served on his office.
Belinky told 21 News he believes if he can take care of that issue, he can still win re-election.
"I filed for re-election and a couple of days later all hell broke lose. Think about the timing. I have always seen strength in you to do what is right and not to be told who to endorse. Do not allow our electoral process to be subverted like this," Belinky said at the Democratic Precinct Committee Persons meeting on Saturday.
A few months prior to the search of Belinky's office and home, attorney Susan Maruca held a news conference to highlight the judge's tax, loan, and parking ticket problems.
Belinky says he is still in the race and believes he will get the vote of the people, saying he has worked on behalf of the most vulnerable people in the county.

These days, if you blink, it's possible The Tonight Show will have a new host. Turn your head for a minute, and a new face will walk through the curtain to deliver the nearly 60-year-old late night talk show's monologue.
At least it seems that way.
But the truth is the show's early years were ripe with changing hosts, different formats, and celebrity controversy. It wasn't until Johnny Carson took the desk in 1962 that the show settled down for three decades - and truly became the powerhouse program we know and love today.
So who has hosted The Tonight Show? And when did they reign? Here's a rundown.

Light and fast backcountry missions.
Run light, fast, and deep in the backcountry with the Tecnica Cochise Pro Light Alpine Touring Boot. With the same standout traits as the other members of this tribe, the Cochise Pro Light gives you swiftness for your ascent and stiffness for your descent, and it's lighter than its big brother the Cochise 120.
At first glance, the Cochise Pro Light has the appearance of an alpine boot, and in some ways it is one, but it also retains its primary purpose as a skin-track-crushing AT boot. The stiff 120 flex shreds cornices and couloirs while the ultra lightweight Triax shell and Mobility Cuff System allow you to get there without utter exhaustion. The sole blocks are interchangeable so you can switch out the included AT/Tech binding sole block for an alpine binding sole block (sold separately), and the three wire-bail buckles are micro-adjustable and positioned just right so you get support for shredding and freedom for striding. Tecnica's engineers even devised an system that allows you to adjust the flex resistance and rebound of the cuff with a twist of a dial—dial it down for the backcountry and up for the tram. For the skier who wants one boot that can serve double-duty for in and out of bounds, the Cochise Pro is a gift from On High.
Tecnica basically stripped down the Cochise 120 to create the Cochise Pro Light. The Pro Light uses a lighter, thinner liner boot, wire-bail instead of a alpine-style buckles, a flexible booster strap instead of a buckle booster strap, and the lower portion is made of single density instead of dual density plastic. With the exception of a slightly altered fit as a result of these changes, you sacrifice nothing in the way of performance. The Cochise Pro Light AT boot can take on multi-hour slogs in the backcountry or days of driving a freeride or powder ski at the resort.
- 120 flex Triax shell with single-density lower
- 100mm width last
- Heat-moldable Palau liner boot
- Three micro-adjustable wire-bail buckles
- Ski and walk modes with Rebound adjustment at the cuff
- Interchangeable sole blocks for AT/Tech (included) or alpine bindings (sold separately)

Where can you get the alpine sole?
Good 'quiver of one' kind of boot
Mark Travers
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I picked up these boots this season hoping that they would be a great boot for doing it all here in the Wasatch. I split my time about equally between touring and skiing the resorts. Prior to these boots, I've been skiing in a pair of 97mm lasted Lange RS 130s - awesome performance boot, but pretty miserable for anything away from the lifts. These Chocises are not on the same level of stiffness and performance of my Langes, but the performance is enough to keep me happy after being used to the Langes, which I think says a lot. These are certainly stiff enough to drive big skis in garbage snow (we've got a lot of that this year...)
In terms of touring, the ski/hike switch is super easy to use, even with bulky gloves on. The range of motion is pretty good and the stride is pretty natural, even on longer tours. These aren't the lightest AT boots on the market, but they are significantly lighter and better for skinning/ hiking than a lot of the 'alpine boots with a walk mode' that have been popping up recently.
My only gripe about these boots is that the liners seem pretty light/ thin for a 120 flex boot. Their light weight is great for touring, and the liners have a softer flex zone around the heel that makes them a breeze for hiking. However, when I'm skiing the resorts it would be nice to have a heavier/ stiffer liner to beef the boot up a bit. I don't hate these liners and I certainly don't think they need to be chucked, but it would be nice if they split the difference between a super light touring liner and a beefier alpine liner a little more evenly. For now I'm hanging onto the stock liners from my Langes for resort duty - it's the best of both worlds for me but obviously not a universal option.
Bottom line: my hope was to have a boot that I am equally happy skiing in bounds and touring on the relatively short skin tracks here in the Wasatch, and I think this boot is as close to a slam dunk as I've found on the market right now.

Member since
Do these have the same shell last/shape as the Cochise 110? The shop near me only has the 110 so I was wondering if these would have the same fit. Thanks!
Mike D Hilverda
Member since
Tecnica makes several versions of the Cochise for men (130, 120, 110, Pro Light, and 90). The Pro light is a 100mm last width and will have a little different fit than the 110mm.
Member since
The Cochise Pro light and the Cochise 110 utilize the same mold so they are both 100mm lasts. The Cochise Pro light uses a much different liner than the 110. The 110 has a more traditional alpine ski boot liner where as the pro light uses a Intuition style thermo form liner made by Palau. The fit is very different. The Palau liner needs to be heat molded before use in order to provide a better fit.
New liner for 13/14
Member since
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The 13/14 Cochise Pro Light gets an updated Palau liner. The cuff of the liner is much thicker and stiffer to take up volume and provide a stiffer more even flex. At around 1600 grams there is no other overlap AT boot that can compete in weight and performance with the Cochise Pro Light.


text: I know it sounds crazy to entertain the possibility of trading M Cuddyer, but if you can get a great return for him, I think the Twins would be crazy not to trade him. If you can get an established starter and a good young pitching prospect for him, it would be the ultimate (sell high). Cuddyer will command in the 11-16M a year on the open market and the Twins can't afford that. Will he give them a (hometown discount). He might, but it still is too much for the Twins. I say trade Cuddyer at the peak of his value, trade Liriano to the Rangers for rookie ss Profar because we have NO MIDDLE INFIELD PROSPECTS in our organization and let the season finish the way its going too. Build for next year, I know it might be giving up on this season, but I want to see everybody's reaction to maybe doing the right thing for the future. If you consider being seller's at the deadline, we have a lot of players who could be traded other than Cuddyer or Liriano. Young, Nathan, Capps, Thome, Kubel, Slowey. It will be interesting to see what the Twins will do. I say trade for young cost-controlled players and build around Mauer, Morneau, Valencia, Revere, Span, Baker, etc. In my honest opinion I think the Twins will try and add, and win the division this year. It should be interesting.

New and Special Course Offerings – Fall 2014
ENG 206-01: Multimodal Writing Workshop
Dr. Steve Ferruci
This course is an introduction to writing multimodal texts. Multimodal texts incorporate different modalities – print, visual, aural – and are usually published on the Web. Multimodal writing is essentially a Web 2.0 mash-up.
In this class, we'll learn how to design and produce a number of multimodal texts, for example a visual essay, an animated "short," a series of podcasts, and the like. We'll learn how to use video and sound recording technologies, how to edit such recordings, and how to incorporate them into a text (or use them as the text itself). We'll also play with various presentation applications (Prezi, Storify, or PechaKucha) and learn how to create animated stories which incorporate print, sound, and visual components.
No prior experience in any of these technologies or genres required; we'll learn them as we go.
*This course counts as an elective for the English major and the Writing Minor.
Date/Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays 4:00 – 5:50 p.m.
ENG/WST 365-02: Queer Theory and Digital Media
Professor Jordan Youngblood
As we enter an era where the prospect of what and how we love becomes increasingly fused with new media, and more and more erotic negotiation takes place over digital interfaces rather than the bar countertop, the relationship between sex, gender, and technology has become decidedly complex in contemporary discourse. How does an increased reliance on Match.com and mediated relationships alter the idea of what it means to be human, if at all? What can it show us about the already-artificial nature behind the most "natural" of acts? What unexpected desirable avenues for a variety of individuals are now available due to the use of digital media, and what prospects have remained the same (or perhaps regressed)? In what ways can the digital be used as a place of sexual and gendered protest, activism, or archiving? How will we navigate this landscape, and in doing so, how will it continue to change us?
Our course grapples with these questions by examining the field of queer theory: a discipline that, from its origins, has focused upon complicating and de-familiarizing traditional concepts of sexuality and gender. We will read a collection of criticism from the field built around seven conceptual units: the "queer," bodies, performance, public/private, race, history, and family. Each of these is meant to bring crucial foundational texts in contact with recent writings that take a queer angle on digital media. As we move further into the material, you will grow more acquainted with the language and concepts of queer theory while also witnessing how new technologies force these concepts to develop and adjust. By the end of the course every student will construct a project utilizing digital media in order to explore some aspect of gender and sexuality, based on the dialogues we develop in class. In essence, we will both witness and engage in a conversation taking place between theory and media, and how each side has been impacted by the other.
No prior experience in either gender studies or digital media is required. All that's needed is a willingness to tackle these ideas with maturity and respect. While some readings will be decidedly complex, don't be intimidated. We will address each text and the concepts within them in a manner that allows people from a variety of fields to gain something.
Day/Time: Mondays and Fridays 2:00 p.m.— 3:15 p.m.
ENG 338-01: Linguistic Analysis
Dr. Elena Tapia
You need it.
You want it.
- Fulfills the English major's Language Studies category
- Will be required for Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education majors
Explore how languages Work!
This is a small class with lots of hands-on practice with various elements of language.
We'll work with English but also with other languages from around the world.
Doesn't seem possible? It is. Trust me.
Date/Time: Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:00 - 3:15 p.m.
New and Special Course Offerings – Spring 2014
ENG 237-01: Encoding Electronic Texts – Dr. Benjamin Pauley
This course explores questions at stake in the digitization of texts that first appeared in print or manuscript form.
Students will get a practical introduction to the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines, a technical specification of XML that makes it possible to describe a text in ways that enable new kinds of digital presentation and analysis. TEI is widely used in digital humanities research in many disciplines
(not just English, but History, Linguistics, Classics, and so on). It has also been adopted by many libraries and museums as they digitize materials in their collections.
At the same time that we explore the nuts and bolts of TEI, we'll also be taking on some very fundamental questions about reading and interpretation. What is "a book"? An abstract intellectual or artistic creation? A material object you can hold in your hand? How do we recognize the various codes by which we human readers make meaning from books? How can we best describe those codes in ways a computer can understand?
This is a four-credit course that meets four hours per week: three hours of discussion plus an hour of workshop/lab. No prior experience with XML is expected. You don't need to be any kind of computer wizard to do the work of this class, but you do need to be willing to experiment and try new things.
Date/Time: MWF 1:00-1:50 p.m.; F 2:00-2:50 p.m.
ENG 365-01: Women Writers of the Long Eighteenth Century – Dr. Benjamin Pauley
This course will examine poetry, fiction, and drama written by British women authors during the "long" eighteenth century (from approximately 1660 to 1800).
This period was marked, in part, by the emergence of a marketplace for literature. Rather than writing for small coteries of readers or writing to suit the tastes of elite patrons, authors were increasingly able to direct their works to a broader public of book purchasers. To publish, however—to write for publication—could be a fraught choice for women authors, since courting the public eye ran counter to expectations of feminine modesty and decorum.
Among other things, this course will highlight the ways that different women negotiated questions of publicity as they pursued writing, whether as an avocation (that is, a private calling) or as a profession (as many women did).
The semester's readings will include works by authors such as Margaret Cavendish, Katherine Philips, Aphra Behn, Eliza Haywood, Susannah Centlivre, Anne Finch, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, Charlotte Lennox, Frances Burney, and Jane Austen, as well as the anonymous works of women who may have signed themselves only "A Lady."
**This course fulfills the Middle Period and the Women Writers requirements for
the English major.
Date/Time: Tuesdays 4:00 – 6:45 p.m.
New and Special Course Offering – Fall 2013
ENG/WST 351-01: Feminist Theories – Dr. Maureen McDonnell
This course is designed as an introduction to feminist theories and practice. Feminist theories draw attention to the ways in which all our lives are shaped and interlinked by a range of social, economic, and political structures. Although gender plays a key component in these structures, we will also pay attention to different forms that sexual, racial, class and colonial hierarchies take.
- This course is required for all students majoring in Women's and Gender Studies.
- Are you a Women's Studies minor? This elective is strongly encouraged.

ENG 348-01: Language & Society – Dr. Elena Tapia
We'll examine the relationships that exist between language and society.
- Why does a person's or a group's language vary from situation to situation?
- What are some attitudes toward languages and dialects that people form about themselves and about others?
- Why do we form those attitudes?

ENG 365-01: Classical Comedies – Dr. Miriam Chirico
Hello! Join your fellow students in this semester's reading of comedies, featuring such literary "stars" as the Roman playwright Plautus, the political manipulator Machiavelli, and the playfully romantic Shakespeare. We will read various texts.
closely for tricks and turns, to see how wily servants outsmart their masters, how men and women plot for their own advantage, and how fools proffer a philosophy of life.
As we delve into the roots of comedy, we will consider the present context as well:
- What sit-coms and romantic comedies do we find funny today?
- What tricks do we play on others and what masks do we wear?
- What is the modern-day equivalent of the fool or the zany?
- Does comedy reinforce stereotypes or challenge the status quo?
Finally, your instructor is interested in a particular pattern within comedy — the "trope of lost identity." Thus, we will look for moments where a central character worries about losing his or her identity and wonders aloud "who am I?" In other words, the instructor is doing research for a book and will depend upon you for your creativity, hard work, and ideas.
Please join us! On with the Show!

ENG 373-01: Studies in Rhetoric: The Rhetoric of Film – Dr. Stephen Ferruci
In ENG 373 we will examine films in order to understand how and why we identify with the characters in the films. We will consider, too, the story being told (the narrative structure) as a reflection of a particular set of cultural assumptions. No previous experience with film or rhetoric required, just a willingness to watch and discuss what you see.

ENG 358-01: Literary Criticism – Dr. Meredith Clermont-Ferrand
In ENG 358 you will be introduced to many of the critical perspectives and theories that enliven contemporary literary and cultural studies. Included on our lit-crit-hit-parade will be Structuralism, Post-structuralism, Postmodernism, Feminist literary studies, Queer Studies, Ethnic and Race Studies, Postcolonialism, Marxism, Psychoanalytic literary studies, and Culture Studies.
Sound intimidating? Don't worry–we will be testing these theories on short stories, novellas, films, pop culture, and each other. As we examine these different ways of reading, and thinking about reading, we will be asking ourselves: What is "literature"? Why do we study it? In what ways, if any, are literary texts different from other types of cultural productions? What is "theory?" Can literary theories be applied to non-literary texts? How do literature and criticism relate to other aspects of culture such as gender, race, class, and nation? What is at stake in choosing one critical/theoretical methodology over another?
Date/Time: Wednesdays 4:00 – 6:45 p.m.
