An elegant and very pinot nose that is still largely primary in character complements round, pleasant and pretty middle weight flavors that are attractive and easy to like if not especially complex or powerful and while there is certainly a moderate lashing of tannic structure, this is surprisingly supple and forward for what it is. In short, as is usually the case with this wine, it is perfectly pleasant but certainly not distinguished for its level. I would continue to hold this for another few years but it could be drunk with pleasure now with food.Author: Allen Meadows

The FCC moved closer last week to completing one of the DTV transition's key remaining tasks: determining permanent digital channels for TV broadcasters.
In the Second DTV Periodic Report and Order, released August 2004, the FCC adopted a multi-round channel election process by which TV broadcasters would receive their ultimate DTV channel inside the core broadcast spectrum (channels 2-51).
In February 2005, more than 1700 broadcasters filed an election for their channel preference for final DTV operations with the FCC. Of that number, 1628 stations elected either their existing NTSC or digital channel. Another 50 stations elected to forego a round one election and participate in round two.
In addition, 62 stations participated in 37 negotiated channel arrangements (NCAs) that were filed with the FCC. In an NCA, stations within a market were permitted to enter into an agreement to elect channels other than their own, so long as every station potentially affected was included in the agreement.
Last week, the FCC took two key steps towards creating a Final DTV Table of Allotments. First, the Media Bureau released an order approving 25 NCAs and rejecting 12 NCAs. The stations participating in the approved NCAs would receive tentative channel designations for the channels contained in the agreements; the stations participating in the rejected NCAs reverted to their alternate channel elections and were considered during the general round one conflict analysis.
Second, the commission sent approximately 155 conflict letters to stations that elected their NTSC channel for digital operation but FCC engineering analysis indicated would result in impermissible interference. The stations now have 60 days to inform the FCC how they will resolve the interference conflict.
The FCC said it would complete round one later this summer and commence round two elections in the fall.

NZ Cycle Trail and Rural Communities
- At January 31, 2012
- By Russ
- In stories, Uncategorized

I've done a re-edit of our last video that focuses specifically on the interviews with the NZ Cycle Trail Team. We hope to share it as a resource for other bike advocates trying to make an economic argument for cycling. Although we find it pretty amazing and daring for the New Zealand government to tackle a cycling project of that scale, it is not the only model. Sustrans in the UK was funded to create a project for the new Millennium that was free for masses of people to enjoy and benefited the entire country and they developed the National Cycle Network!
While the NZ Cycle Trail network is still in its infancy and will have a few more years to fully mature, there are already signs of promise. We've seen local councils take the lead and make steps to improve trails and roads in their region. We've seen some businesses that were started to meet the growing demand of cycling. Most encouraging is that we've seen an increase in locals using cycling resources that were developed for tourism. The most exceptional example we've come upon is a ferry operation in Nelson. Two people built a flat bottom ferry with bike racks to shuttle tourists to Rabbit Island where there is a lovely meandering path. An unexpected benefit is that locals are brushing off their bikes and using the ferry in droves. It has become quite the weekend activity to take the family out for a bike ride out on Rabbit Island.
There are still some hard yards ahead to change road culture and the perception of bicycles just as recreation to transportation in New Zealand. We're reminded of that everyday we're on a road with cars passing too close too fast. After talking to many people involved in the program we remain cautiously optimistic.
At the moment we are in Greymouth and have experienced a mechanical with my Brompton. We've opted to take the train to Christchurch and wait for the part and deal with repairs there. So if you're in Christchuch and want to meet up or can help us out with a home stay, email us!

Kiwi Short: Fish On!

Another short video sequence that will probably end up in episode 4. We were holed up in Turangi, the trout capital of New Zealand and it was raining for days. I came to the grips with the fact that if I was going to get a fish on I'd be doing it sopping wet. With some advice from the local fly shop, I switched my tackle around and was able to land two nice rainbows. What a rush! I could barely hold the GoPro I was shaking from the adrenaline rush. They are big and hard fighting fish in NZ, especially on a 5wt rod!

Images from the Road

The holidays are fast approaching (can you believe its November already?!) and we've been getting emails asking if we can make some prints available to purchase. I've started by putting up some of our 2011 and 2012 Calendar images and will be going through our huge image library and making more available as prints in the next few weeks.
I'm using Zenfolio as our shopping cart and print fulfillment. I've been pretty happy with their image quality (we've got a huge poster version of the Traveler's Creed hanging in Laura's mom's house and it looks fantastic!). You can order 5x7s, 8x10s, 10x15s and even 3×4.5 magnets to put on the fridge. In addition to our calendar images, I've been putting up some general landscape and cycling images. One particular series, I'm pretty fond of is called Views from the Train which made is made up of real moody images shot from the Amtrak Empire Builder or Coast Starlight. If there is a print size or image you would like to see but isn't available, email us and let us know.
I've also gotten a few requests for the cyclocross images I've been shooting as well, so those are available here.
Again, all orders help us keep going on the road. If you're planning to give them as gifts, please order with enough time so they arrive by the holidays.

UPDATED: The Zombie Apocalypse Will Not Be Motorized

It all started as a joke, but then turned into a shirt with your help! A few weeks ago, I made a spoof of a ZipCar ad that was poking fun at cyclists. Being a big zombie fan, I made a mock ad using an image from The Walking Dead. It got us thinking that in the event of the zombie apocalypse or any other disaster that called for mass evacuations, the bicycle is way to go! So we put up some mockups on Facebook and with input from our readers we have the final shirt design and its ready for sale! We're using SpreadShirt as our printing and distribution since they seem to have the best print quality on the shirts.
Order your Zombie Apocalypse shirt today!
After enough requests we added a few more designs. One is a version of the cargo bike shirt with an Xtracycle/longtail. While we won't be able to create every type of bicycle out there, the Xtracycle was a seminal bike in the cargo bike revolution. I used one personally when I first started my photography career so it has a special place in my heart. I also added a "Bike Local. Buy Local" shirt, which fits in with one of the themes we've been exploring – how bikes can benefit small economies.
Thanks for all your help. As always, all sales help keep us on the road. We're trying to get to New Zealand, so we need to sell lots of shirts. Order one today and have one for your bikey Halloween party or every day! If you have other products you think the design would be great for, let us know!

We've been having a great time talking about bike travel and meeting long-time readers during the last couple weeks. It's really fulfilling for us to get people excited about taking their bikes on adventures. We gave a presentation in San Diego at VeloCult last week and one at Open in Long Beach last night and are scheduled to do one final presentation in El Segundo, CA before we head for ports unknown. The lovely folks at Electric Bikes LA have helped us set up the presentation and are also Brompton dealers who have a wide selection of Bromptons in the store.
Tuesday, October 11 · 7:00pm – 10:00pm
Joslyn Center (main social hall)
339 Sheldon St
El Segundo, CA (map)
El Segundo has a cute little downtown and a great brew pub (Rock'nBrews) with an amazing selection of beer (which we're going to afterwards). We're trying to get a sense of the number of chairs we should set out, so if you're coming, please RSVP on the Facebook Event page. If you don't do Facebook, send us an email and let us know you're coming. This is our last presentation in Southern California, so we hope to see you there!

Since I've picked up drawing again, I've been doodling a lot! I've been trying to do a few illustrations a day for our upcoming illustrated guide and that means drawing a lot of Bromptons in various styles and folded states. I thought it would be fun to offer the drawings as little pieces of artwork from the road.
Each drawing is an actual drawing and not a photocopy. As I get an order I'll draw it (specify if you want the Brompton folded or unfolded) in my sketch book with a brush pen and grey markers, cut it out and mail it to you at the next post office we find. Each one will be a little different but have the same style of a heavy brush line with warm grey shading. Each drawing is about 4×5 (current size of the sketch book I'm using) on white acid free paper and the price will be $15 per drawing.
If you're interested, you can either email me or go to this PayPal link. Please be sure to include a) a mailing address and b) in what folded state you want the Brompton to be drawn in. If you like, I will also inscribe where it was drawn (for example, Cut Bank, Montana). We're always trying creative ways to help us to continue to travel and you all have been so supportive. I'm hoping this is another way you can be part of our journey. Email us and get yours today!

An unresolved problem
July 07, 2006 at 10:29 am | Mobile Reader | Print
As the bill advanced, some legislators wanted to use some of the fund to offset homeowners' insurance premium increases. The final version of the legislation says premium offsets cannot be considered until after hurricane season is over.
It will be interesting to see exactly how that large appropriation will be spent during the next budget year, and what constitutes "mergencies"that are addressed with the money. If the fund simply becomes another "slush fund," insurance policyholders in Louisiana - whose assessments could have been reduced by the amendments offered during the session - are not going to be happy.
The future of property and casualty insurance, as a whole in Louisiana, was not addressed very competently in the recently completed legislative session. Too many legislators appeared to be covering their rears with legislation of questionable constitutionality, instead of coming to grips with some of the grim realities regarding the future availability and affordability of insurance in Louisiana. The marketplace for property and casualty insurance was under considerable stress before Katrina and Rita, and now those markets are likely to dry up even more.
Two years ago, the state created the Louisiana Citizens Property and Casualty Insurance Corporation in response to the growing difficulty homeowners had in finding an insurance company to write a policy for them. Citizens had not built up a significant surplus in its short existence, so when Katrina and Rita came calling, our homeowners' insurer of last resort got slammed with a billion dollars of exposure. Approximately $250 million will have to be paid by Louisiana policyholders just to pay off the losses Citizens was hit with by the storms. One shudders to think where the market will be if another hurricane finds its way to our shores anytime soon.
Recently, eight hurricanes in succession slammed Florida's Citizens program for $1.7 billion in losses. The Florida Legislature appropriated $715 million to offset the majority of the losses so homeowners would not be hit too hard to pay for them. In Mississippi, the wind damage high-risk pool was nailed by Katrina for $745 million, and the fund had only $175 million in assets. State officials never thought the fund would be hit for more than the $175 million. They were wrong. Now Mississippi is using $100 million in federal block grant money to offset some of the losses, but homeowners there are still going to face a 100 percent increase in their premiums.
Like a tin can, our state officials have just kicked the insurance crisis facing Louisiana homeowners down the road to be dealt with at a later time. The problem hasn't gone away. Insurance companies shied away from writing storm-related policies long before Katrina and Rita hit, and nothing the Legislature did this year is making them more inclined to take more of those risks. Simply filing anti-industry legislation will only hasten a market collapse. It is going to take creative thinking at the state and federal levels to fashion policies that will encourage the re-emergence of an insurance market in our coastal regions. Leadership is needed to solve the problem, and that leadership was sorely missing in Baton Rouge this year.

Arrow Rio Grande Era Brochure
I recently met another Arrow employee who very kindly shared a brochure from the Rio Grande years which contains many wonderful photographs of Arrow rides.
Particularly interesting are the ones of the Rub-A-Dub ride, as it is clearly related to the patent which Ed Morgan received in November of 1973 (USD229,354). The boats are seen on page 4 of the brochure. There is also a carousel with a Griffin styled seat which I had not seen before.
I'll be posting more images over the next couple of weeks.
And some new coaster images:

New Discoveries! Honest Abe & Two Arrow Ponies
Just when I thought that there were no new traces of Arrow's work to be found, three items turned up in the last two weeks. I'm posting the images and text pretty much as they appear on the web.
First is a 36" gauge locomotive and four passenger cars being offered for sale on Discover Live Steam;
The owner, Ron Brett, writes:
Next are two carousel horses located in Massachusetts:
The Arrow Development Company that built this carousel horse was a pioneer inthe amusement park ride industry. The company was contacted by Walt Disney to engineer, build and install several rides for the original Disneyland. (One of the most famous being the Matterhorn Bobsleds - the first of it kind.)This carousel horse came from the Town and Country Mall Carousel in Kendall, Florida. It was painted by the Fabricon Carousel Company of New York for the owner in the mid 1980's.
First is a 36" gauge locomotive and four passenger cars being offered for sale on Discover Live Steam;
36" ga. Arrow Development Train
Made by the Arrow Development company this "Steam Outline" train is powered by a 190 HP 4 cyl. propane engine (not running).
The train includes 4 Passenger coaches each holding 18 passengers. Also included are approximately 6,800' of 16 pound rail, 5 barrels of rail spikes and rail joiners and 1 rail spacing gauge. Built in the early 60s, there where 14 of these trains made.
Located between Seattle and Portland, OR.
The owner, Ron Brett, writes:
"I was told by the person I bought it from that it originally ran around a shopping center in Seattle WA. Both were removed to make room for the worlds fair in 1962. The person who purchased it then had his own carnival and would set it up at different fairs in the northwest. Eventually he sold the train to someone in Eatonville WA. who couldn't pay, so it was repossessed and sat neglected for many years.
When I retired I bought 26 acres just south of Toledo Washington, where my wife and I started a farm and pumpkin patch called Story Book Farm. I thought that a train would be a good addition and I had heard about this train sitting in the bushes around Marysville WA. Eventually I located it and the owner. It took a year to convince him to sell. He moved the train to my property outside Toledo 3 yrs. ago."
Next are two carousel horses located in Massachusetts:

Reviews of Building Disney's Dream
|Click here to get a free sample chapter
Expanding on Robert Reynold's earlier book, Building Disney's Dream fills in the rest of the story of Arrow Development, which started out as a small machine shop founded by Andy Anderson, Karl Bacon, Bill Hardiman and Ed Morgan, and subsequently grew to be the largest producer of amusement park rides in the world.
I'll continue to post supplemental material about Arrow here, which will fill out the story even further and offer some deeper insights into who did what and how they did it.
Building Disney's Dream is available on the iTunes Store. For a .pdf contact us at email@example.com and watch for future updates and editions.
If you are interested in knowing more about how Arrow and Disney accomplished what they did, please visit my other blog at; Thinking of Design.
Here are a few reviews of the eBook;
Robert Reynolds, author of Roller Coasters, Flumes and Flying Saucers wrote:
"Building Disney's Dream contains an amazing amount of detail which is the result of passionate research. Reading it, I've learned a number of things which I hadn't even known before.
I especially liked the parts about the Arrow Huss and S & S mergers, which filled in the details which Ed and Karl didn't elaborate on during my interviews with them.
This book contributes significantly to our knowledge of the amusement industry in this precisely detailed account of Arrow Development. The extensive research has uncovered many gems from the early days of Disneyland and the development of the tubular steel roller coaster.
I highly recommend Building Disney's Dream as a valuable addition to any history of Disney or the theme park industry."
Didier Ghez, author of Walt's People said; "I absolutely LOVE it."
Don Lancaster says:
Don Lancaster says:
"This book is interesting, informative and a lot of fun. Mr. Francis' love of the topic is obvious from the moment you begin reading, which results in a book that draws you in and holds your interest.
I have a large collection of books on Imagineering, theme park design and the ride design, and I often find that many of the books that I buy contain very little new information for me. That was not the case with this book. I already knew some things about Arrow, especially regarding their work with Disney, but this book contained a lot of information and stories that I had never encountered before. It is clear that Mr. Francis put a great deal of work into researching the people behind Arrow and their contributions to the roller coaster and theme park industries.
The illustrations in the book are wonderful. There some beautiful pictures of Arrow rides (including an amazingly beautiful picture of a carousel), drawings from patent applications, old Arrow marketing materials and much more.
To be honest, the book jumps around a bit. At one moment it can be discussing the history of the company, then change topics to a specific ride, then to a specific ride designer, then to certain elements of ride design. It took me a bit to get used to it, but the style actually serves the book well. It gives the book a more conversational tone that helps to communicate the author's passion for the subject matter.
If you enjoy books on theme parks or roller coasters and the people behind them, or even if you are just curious about the topic, I highly recommend this book."

Preserving the stuff of History
Before the pony was brought down from the attic, the wall was occupied by a large collage of photographs documenting the entire history of Arrow Development, which were donated to someone out of state.
During a conversation with the horse's loving owners, the contents of two large filing cabinets were mentioned. A detailed record of nearly every financial transaction the family had over the course of their employment at Arrow, which were spring-cleaned away years ago.
We stand on the brink of a great divide. As digital media becomes more and more prevalent, the collected knowledge and wisdom of previous generations is being left behind - or discarded - thru simple, honest, acts of oversight.
Unlike the Great Library of Alexandria, these records aren't held in a grand and wonderful edifice. These records are in closets and attics, boxes and bookshelves all around the country. Slides, movies, postcards, letters and magazines, many of which have never been published, even though they technically fell into the public domain years ago.
Help transcribe the stories and keep the legends alive. Convert the acts of victory, sacrifice and struggle into a form that future generations will have easy access to. Honor and preserve their wisdom. It might help someone else avoid a mistake, do something amazing, or even change the world.

Very disapoitedPosted Jul 2, 2015
I was very disapoited in our experience at this property upon arrival we were told our room was already taken and was tied up at the front desk at least one hour and when we got the room it was a bad view of the city.I also was dissatisfied with the adult pool there was a minimum of two drinks and topless females We visited the pool nothing was said to us about the two drinks until we came up in our suits it was the same girl we had seen the first trip up there's. Also nothing was said at time of booking or at registration. About the drink minimum or it being topless we did not swim at all the first night, also at the tower we got to the top okay but we waited at least 30 minutes to come down because the elevator operator had no control of the crowds. The guy from the bar called but it made no difference. Than when we went to the buffet the lady told us we needed this coupon from the players card counter. So we walked back got the coupon went back where we were told we both needed one. She asked the manager he told us it would be steeling if he gave us both the 25 percent off with the one coupon so he made us go back again and get the other coupon. We spent more time getting the run around than we did enjoying our trip. We were suppose to get moved but all said an done we stayed. In our original room we asked for towels at the reception desk and we called. it took over an hour to get them.

Hôtel agréable sur le StripPosted Jul 1, 2015
La Stratosphère peut sembler un peu à l'écart du "coeur" du Strip et c'est vrai, mais les bus DEUCE s'arrêtent juste à l'entrée et desservent tout le Strip jusqu'au Mandalay Bay ! Le pass illimité pour 24h est à 8$. On pourrait aussi croire qu'il n'est pas aussi extravagant et élégant que les autres hôtels du Strip. Certes ce n'est pas le Caesar Palace, mais il dispose tout de même de son centre commercial directement dans l'hôtel, de son immense casino, d'une grande piscine, d'un centre de fitness, de nombreux restaurants, et cerise sur le gâteau : la tour d'observation qui culmine à 300 mètres au-dessus de Las Vegas ! En plus l'accès est gratuit pour les résident (20$ pour les visiteurs). Nous avons adoré la Stratosphère, l'hôtel est sobre, élégant, calme et facilement accessible en transport, c'est un endroit très agréable pour aller découvrir Las Vegas ! Le rapport qualité-prix est excellent !

Nice accomodationPosted Jul 1, 2015
It was a good place to stay. It's a bit far from the main strip but no problem because we have a rental car. The wifi fluctuates. And I understand that it's the hottest time of the year, our room air conditioner Automatically turns off to protect itself from overheating. The staff is very friendly and added bonus is the tower admission. The swimming pool closes very early. Over all, I am pleased with our stay in the hotel

High crime areaPosted Jul 1, 2015
Hotel borders on sketchy area. A member of our group was mugged IN the casino. The buffet, casino and pool are unremarkable. The hotel is 3 miles from the main strip requiring a cab or bus ride to hit the main attractions

critique needed - WIP Painting
Hi there folks, ive had a sketchbook for aaages but this is my first time posting anywhere else so i hope ive got it right! Im hoping to give someone this painting as a christmas present, so i want it to be the very best i could make it. unfortunately i need a lot of help and critique for that, so go nuts

You need reference, is what you need. I just had a peek at your sketchbook -- your latest batch of life drawings was several notches more sophisticated than anything you're doing from imagination. Which says you need to feed stuff into your imagination with more chunks of reality.
If you can't get anyone to model for you, put your camera on a tripod and pose for both figures yourself. Nice strong directional light source. It'll make a world of difference.
I was once on the receiving end of a critique so savagely nasty, I marched straight out of class to the office and changed my major (sketchbook).

thanks so much with the feedback, your totally right. i started making the light source more defined today and it looked much better but i lost all my work when the photoshop at uni messed up ¬.¬ oh well, ill just have to do it again!

Fall 2014
Symposium: Hans Blumenberg's Concept of Modernity
Patricia Ingham & Johannes Türk, Conveners
Friday, Oct. 31, Faculty Club, Indiana Memorial Union.
3 p.m.: Rüdiger Campe (German, Yale University):
"The Background of the Metaphor: Historicity Through Implication."
Abstract: The Legitimacy of the Modern Age (1966) has often been seen as a deviation from Blumenberg's earlier critical study of metaphor in philosophy and science (Paradigms of Metaphorology). According to this interpretation, Legitimacy amounts to a turn to history. I will argue that this is not the case. On the contrary, with regard to the understanding of modern history as a process of secularization, Blumenberg addresses not only a specific (theological and substantialist) candidate for historical transformation, but the nature of historical transformation as such. Read with an eye to this meta-critical argument, The Legitimacy of the Modern Age may turn out to be a daring manifesto for the critical reading of metaphor as a way of doing philosophy.

Saturday, Nov. 1, Oak Room, Indiana Memorial Union
10 am: Jane O. Newman (Comparative Literature, University of California, Irvine):
"Early / Modern: Augustine between Blumenberg and Auerbach."
Abstract: I explore the mechanics of the historical narrative – and of the history of modernity as narrative – that grows out Blumenberg's version of the saint, who is made to cut a somewhat peculiar figure as both an "early" inspiration for modernity's all-important "humanist" "self assertion" and as the inhibitor of its true, final arrival. Casting the fifth-century Augustine in this role creates the kind of telic narrative of which Blumenberg himself would have to disapprove. We may thus want to consider whether there might not be something like a "re-occupation" of earlier accounts of Augustine in the works here, given the fact that the bishop of Hippo played an equally as central, yet exceedingly different role in what we may want to think of as the competitor arguments about modernity developed by other notable German thinkers, particularly Erich Auerbach, but also Hans Jonas, Martin Heidegger, and Hannah Arendt.
11:15 am: Coffee Break
11:45 am: Kirk Wetters (German, Yale University):
"Science or Philosophy? – Blumenberg's Critical Anti-Anti-Positivism."
Abstract: My paper analyzes Blumenberg's Legitimacy of the Modern Age in its genesis and reception in the 1960s and beyond. It seeks to reconnect Blumenberg to Max Weber, an evidently crucial figure who plays almost no direct role in Legitimacy. There are a number ways of explaining Blumenberg's implicit dialogue with Weber. One way relates to the hyper-prevalence of Weber's thought in the 1960s. During the same years when Blumenberg was writing and revising his Legitimacy, Weber's legacy was being hotly contested in the so-called "positivism debate" (Positivismusstreit), a clash between academic sociology and the philosophically inflected Marxism of Adorno and Habermas. Already in 1964, Blumenberg's critique of secularization opted for a metaphorological historiography with more in common with the Weberian idea of "science" (Wissenschaft) than with the philosophy of history.
1 pm: Lunch (area restaurants)
2:30 pm: C.D. Blanton (English, University of California, Berkeley):
"Reoccupying Metaphor: On the Legitimacy of the Nonconceptual."
Abstract: From his earliest work on "absolute metaphors" and "background metaphorics" to his late intimations of a metaphorically grounded practice of "nonconceptuality," Hans Blumenberg's work turns on the figurative and formal mechanism of metaphor. This paper revisits Blumenberg's epochal and epoch-making account in The Legitimacy of the Modern Age, seeking to account for its powerful but often elusive sense of rhetoric: no longer fully opposed to dialectic, no longer fully reducible to linguistic or figurative invention. Ultimately, it suggests, Blumenberg's notion of legitimacy depends on this rhetoric's capacity to enact a mode of provisional negation that mimics the logical work of the concept by way of the power of misunderstanding.

Thursday, Nov. 13, 2014, 8 pm; discussion at 8:30 pm. 1220 E. 1st Street, corner of Highland.
Abstract:This paper considers the possibility that the current theoretical turn toward objects, and away from subjects, may in part derive from the fact that being a subject is, frankly, embarrassing. Through attention to the Augustinian dimensions of the novel, it constructs an alternate genealogy of the trait often preeminently associated with modern subjectivity, the will, in which it stands for anything but the usual faith in rational autonomy.
Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Marx (But Were Afraid to Ask)

Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Freud (But Were Afraid to Ask)
A Conversation with Eyal Peretz (Comparative Literature)
What exactly is the unconscious and how do we know it's there? Is psychoanalysis dead? Is a pipe sometimes just a pipe?
No question is out of bounds in our conversation about Freud. If you are curious why this thinker, who has been declared irrelevant many times, is still read, join us for this session. Maybe it will inspire you to open one of his books or take a class on his work. Professor Eyal Peretz has been thinking about Freud's work for many years. He will tell you why he keeps returning to it.
Wednesday, Feb. 25, 7 - 8:30 pm, Coffeehouse, Collins Living & Learning Center. Refreshments will be served.
Forum: Discussion of Work in Progress
Eyal Peretz (Comparative Literature):
"The Birth of the Off-Screen out of the Ghost of Modernity" (PDF)
This paper proposes to serve as an initial conceptualization of the cinematic device of the off-screen by tracing a history of its emergence out of two media of the early modern period, Shakespearean theater, focusing particularly on Shakespeare's understanding of the relations between the stage and the off-stage, and Renaissance painting, taking Pieter Bruegel the Elder as a representative, and focusing on his understanding of the relations between the canvas and that which is outside the pictorial frame.
Wednesday, March 11, 8 pm, discussion at 8:30; 1220 E. 1st Street.
Symposium: Security, Violence Law
Oana Panaïté, convener
Saturday, April 11, 9 am - 6:30 pm, IMU Georgian Room.
9 am: Welcome, Oana Panaïté (French & Italian)
9:30 am: John Hamilton (German / Comparative Literature, Harvard Univ.), "Liberalism, Libertinage, and the Limits of Security: Laclos and the Charlie Hebdo Massacre."
Abstract: The terroristic attacks that recently horrified the world have occasioned reflection on public security and civic liberties. The primary issue, which concerns the relationship between security and liberalism, is hardly new, but rather persistently informs all modern political thought. In turning to Laclos's Liaisons dangereuses, the notorious libertine novel of the 18th century, innovative insights may be gained in regard to today's attempts in balancing safety and freedom.
John Hamilton, William R. Kenan Professor of German and Comparative Literature at Harvard, is the author of Soliciting Darkness: Pindar, Obscurity and the Classical Tradition (2004), Music, Madness, and the Unworking of Language (2008), and Security: Politics, Humanity, and the Philology of Care (2013), in addition to numerous articles: on Lessing, Hölderlin, Hoffmann, Eichendorff, Büchner, Heine, Kafka, Thomas Mann, and Böll; Pindar, Cicero, and Horace; Balzac, Gautier, Valéry, Roger Caillois, and Pascal Quignard.
10:45 am: Coffee Break
11 am: Chantal Mouffe (Politics and International Relations, Univ. of Westminster), "Politics and Violence: An Agonistic Approach."
Abstract: In this lecture, I will present my agonistic model and examine how it deals with the challenge confronting democracy when the ineradicable of antagonism is acknowledged.
Chantal Mouffe is Professor of Political Theory at the University of Westminster in London. She has taught and researched in many universities in Europe, North America and South America, and she is a corresponding member of the Collège International de Philosophie in Paris. She is the editor of Gramsci and Marxist Theory (Routledge and Kegan Paul, London, 1979), Dimensions of Radical Democracy. Pluralism, Citizenship, Community (Verso, London, 1992), Deconstruction and Pragmatism ( Routledge, 1996)and The Challenge of Carl Schmitt (Verso, London, 1999);the co-author with Ernesto Laclau of Hegemony and Socialist Strategy . Towards a Radical Democratic Politics ( Verso, London, 1985) and the author of The Return of the Political ( Verso, London, 1993) The Democratic Paradox (Verso, London, 2000), On the Political (Routledge, London, 2005) and Agonistics. Thinking the World Politically ( Verso 2013).
12:15 - 2:30 pm: Lunch
2:30 pm: Elizabeth Anker (English, Cornell Univ.), "The Human Rights Turn, or the Political Will of Critical Theory."
Abstract: Many humanities fields are currently witnessing a reaction against the negativity of critique, hermeneutic suspicion, and the deflationary impulses of theory, and this talk locates the human rights turn within this broader climate of methodological self-questioning. For many, human rights have represented an escape from the sense of a political impasse within theory. This talk cautions against the interrelated risks of viewing human rights through the lens of idealism or utopianism; of merely repurposing established analytics within poststructuralist theory under the guise of human rights; of deploying human rights in ways that reinforce what I refer to as the "political minimalism" of much critique; or of endorsing human rights in ways that circumvent questions of cultural particularity and neo-imperialism.
Elizabeth S. Anker is Associate Professor in the English Department at Cornell University and Associate Member of the Faculty of Cornell Law School. Her first book is Fictions of Dignity: Embodying Human Rights in World Literature (2012). She is currently working on two book projects. The first, Our Constitutional Metaphors: Law, Culture, and the Management of Crisis, looks to literature, architecture, and film to study popular metaphors for constitutions, examining how they resolve challenges to democracy. Second, she is writing a book on Human Rights and Critical Theory that explores the "human rights turn."
3:45 pm: Coffee Break
4 - 5:30 pm: Roundtable Discussion
Akin Adesokan (Comparative Literature)
William Rasch (Germanic Studies / International Studies)
Jon Simons (Communication and Culture)
Susan Williams (Law School)
The symposium is sponsored by the Center for Theoretical Inquiry in the Humanities, the College Arts & Humanities Institute, the Office of the Vice-President for International Affairs, and the departments of French & Italian, International Studies, and Political Science, all at Indiana University.

They say eventually we'll all be bald because of how much larger our brain capacity will be...I'm still waiting for the smarts.
Adventure writing flows naturally from my fingertips, so about a year ago I started the Time Slingers Universe. It's an online science fiction adventure story delivered weekly like classic newspaper serials. The Shadow Phase (written by me and illustrated by Nathan Scheck) is currently on a temporary hold while we make website improvements.
I've also had my work, "Understanding," published in "Infinite Space, Infinite God," a science fiction anthology.
Earlier published works appeared in the "West Wind" and "Dragons, Knights, and Angels Magazine." I'm still working hard to deliver more stories to the marketplace.
My influences range from Mark Twain to Stephen Lawhead. I'm a huge fan of adventure, action, science fiction and fantasy, and storytelling that takes readers on a wild ride.
"Infinite Space, Infinite God" won an EPPIE award.
Time Slingers, though on temporary hold, has a lot in store for you! Visit www.timeslingers.com.
The EPPIE award winning "Infinite Space, Infinite God" is available through Amazon.com.

Ugly win. Team got too complacent after going up 3-0 quickly into the game. Reimer had issues with his rebounds tonight but made the saves when he needed to get the win. The team got sloppier as the game went on so I guess the silver lining here is that they managed to win despite the adrenaline fading but the bad news is that with their schedule, if they don't find a way to overcome these short turnaround games and play more solid through those kind of games, they're going to find themselves in trouble...especially come February and March where they'll be battling for a playoff spot and will have maybe 7-8 back to backs. Brutal but the only option is to figure it out somehow.
Bozak had an awesome game. Kadri also with a great game. Nice to see him get another goal tonight. He's definitely making his case. Frattin also impressed me as well. Actually, I thought our 4th line did a really good job. From what I can recall, they didn't spend much time in their own end and kept the Isles on their toes whenever they were out there on the ice.
Ideally it would've been nice to see Ottawa and NJ lose tonight but thankfully they haven't lost anything in the standings. By the way, NJ has won 42% of their games via shootout. That's ridiculous.

Mesa Arts Center Receives NEA Grant to Support Jazz from A to Z Program
National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Chairman Rocco Landesman announced today that Mesa Arts Center is one of 788 not-for-profit national, regional, state, and local organizations nationwide to receive an NEA Art Works grant. Mesa Arts Center is recommended for a $58,000 grant to support the Jazz from A to Z program. The 788 Art Works grants total $24.81 million and support the creation of art that meets the highest standards of excellence, public engagement with diverse and excellent art, lifelong learning in the arts, and the strengthening of communities through the arts.
Jazz from A to Z is a collaborative program between Mesa Arts Center; Mesa Public Schools (MPS); Arizona State University; and Jazz at Lincoln Center's Orchestra, orchestra leader Wynton Marsalis, and Education Department. Jazz from A to Z, which enters its third year for the 2012-2013 academic school year, enriches the historical and cultural knowledge of Mesa students and teachers with a cross-curricular study of both jazz and American history. Student and teacher participants will gain knowledge and skills through a focused study of jazz in clinics and workshops; demonstrate their understanding through performance, classroom instruction, project creation; and experience exemplary works of art in live form through a public performance. By creating a "community of jazz scholars," the project spurs a deeper understanding of our nation's history and a meaningful appreciation of one of America's greatest cultural resources: jazz. The program is comprehensive and includes master classes for MPS junior high and high school jazz bands, a Band Director Academy for jazz instructors, workshops for teachers and students, a jazz festival in April 2013, a National History Day exhibit, a Young People's Concert introducing elementary and middle school students to jazz music, a Regional Jazz Festival, and a public performance featuring Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis at Mesa Arts Center. The program is expected to reach over 10,000 students and several hundred teachers.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
What a crisis has done to the people of Greece
26 Nov 2011 05:48 GMT | Politics
A group of Mexican activists has lodged a war-crimes complaint against President Felipe Calderon at the International Criminal Court (ICC).
A lawyer for the group of 23 activists who have signed the complaint of war crimes against the president said Calderon's offensive against drug cartels had involved about 470 cases of human rights violations by the army or police.
The activists accuse Calderon of systematically allowing troops to kill, kidnap and torture civilians.
The complaint filed Friday at the court in the Netherlands also names Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the Sinaloa cartel leader.
Netzai Sandoval, the lawyer, said Mexican drug lords had also committed crimes against humanity during the conflict, which has cost 35,000 to 40,000 lives since late 2006.
"The violence in Mexico is bigger than the violence in Afghanistan, the violence in Mexico is bigger than in Colombia," Sandoval said.
"We want the prosecutor to tell us if war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in Mexico, and if the president and other top officials are responsible."
Calderon's administration has denied the accusations, saying that it is an elected, democratic government fighting criminals and that it has established mechanisms to protect human rights.
"The established security policy in no way constitutes an international crime. On the contrary, all its actions are focused on stopping criminal organisations and protecting all citizens," the interior ministry said in a statement.
"Mexico, as never before, has implemented, in a systematic and growing way, a public policy to strengthen the rule of law and promote and respect human rights."
The ICC can try such cases in countries that are unable or unwilling to prosecute these crimes on their own.
The ICC will have to decide if the allegations qualify as crimes against humanity. This could take months or even years, according to legal experts.

Three door one driver and 2 in the back, out side mirror and trunk release switch is not working at all, come back and work by itself for one day and stop respond. please help - Vu Luu
2 Answers
Answer 1
have codes scanned and get diag - globalhelper
Answer 2
This vehicle has a driver door control module located inside the door that controls all of the functions of the switches in the driver door. It is not uncommon for these modules or the wiring to fail. You need to have someone that is familiar with these vehicles diagnose the problem using equipment that can communicate with this module and supporting wiring diagrams to pinpoint the problem. Generic OBD2 scan tools will be of no help. We use the factory MB Star Diagnostic System at our shop. Good Luck, James EuroAsian Garage Seatac, WA - Jamesw

With deep intakes of breath, the children excitedly peered into a box lid.
"Oh, it's one. Oh. Oh," they said.
The scared hedgehog ducked, curling itself into a ball with its quills pointing outward. Then he slowly lifted his nose to sniff the box's edge.
"See his little nose," became the children's cry.
His visit was part of an effort to excite Meadows Elementary School second graders about reading. Indiana State University's Reading Resort brings together 10 ISU students with about 20 second graders on Tuesday and Thursday after school. They read books together and play games as the university students help get the elementary students excited about reading.
During each Reading Resort there is an activity portion when the children read a book together and create crafts to reinforce their reading.
Enter the hedgehog.
Jennifer Perez, the program's site manager, has read Ragnhild Scamell's book "Apple Trouble," which is about a hedgehog that gets an apple stuck to its back, to the children during the activities segment. They've created their own hedgehogs with apples stuck on their back. But, Perez wanted to make the hedgehog real for the children and borrowed one from a pet store.
"More than anything it makes them want to read," said Perez, a junior elementary education major from Hobart, about the activities. "The next time we'll get on computers and they'll look up information on hedgehogs. It makes them excited. They want to learn about hedgehogs."
Many of the elementary students said they enjoyed seeing and touching the hedgehog.
"I got to touch his spikes, but it didn't hurt because I was wearing gloves," said Darryl Cooley.
"I thought it would be bigger," said Adara Grady as she spread her arms to show the size of a medium dog.
"They go up when you touch it," Dylan Corby said about liking the hedgehog's quills.
Robbie Owen said the hedgehog's visit is his favorite part of attending Reading Resort.
"It looked cute," he said, as he wrinkled his nose and sniffed liked the hedgehog. "I liked how its spines looked white and black."
Grady said she likes to attend the program because of the reading.
"You get to read a lot," she said. "You get to learn from reading. I like to learn."
Keaera Blakely said she also enjoyed learning through reading.
"There are interesting stories. It's funny. It makes you sad sometimes," she said about books. "It gives you words to learn that you never ever knew. Then you can practice them and then you'll know them your whole life."
Reading helps Corby to get good grades, he said.
"It's important to get higher grades and you get better and better at it," he said about reading.
James Young, media specialist at Meadows, said school officials appreciate the university students working with the elementary students.
"Second grade is a crucial time," he said. "They develop a lot of basics with reading at that time. This helps them through that hurdle. I have witnessed the kids' reading levels go up."
