The theology blind spotposted by Kristina Stoeckl
I have always been puzzled by the fact that Charles Taylor starts his book A Secular Age with a long quote from Bede Griffith in order to describe a religious type of experience. It is the description of a scene experienced by the author as a school-boy: trees are blossoming, birds are singing, the author has the sensation that angels are present and that God is looking down on him. My question is: Why this quote? Why choose an image and a language of sunset, trees and birds in order to describe something for which the different languages of theology have worked out precise and elaborate codifications? I understand, of course, that in the context of the introduction to A Secular Age, Taylor uses this quote in order to make a soft claim to the human openness to experiences of transcendental nature. He uses the rest of the eight-hundred pages of the book to explore why it has become increasingly rare and difficult in our secular age to live these kinds of experiences, let alone to look for them in the context of an organized religious tradition. Most of us, he says, live our lives in an "immanent frame" and religious belief "has become one option among many."

On the freedom of the concepts of religion and beliefposted by Yvonne Sherwood
This short piece attempts to come at the current debate on law and religious freedom from two unusual angles. I end by looking at the strange and revealing positioning of "religion or belief" in current legislation in England and Wales. And I begin by putting a different spin on religious freedom by exploring the terrifying freedom of the concepts of religion and belief. We have never needed the rise of Al Qaeda, so-called Islamicism or a hardline religious right to terrify us with a resurgent specter of specifically religious (as opposed to purely "political") "terror." Instead of bearing down on us like some old specter of the Turk or Moor at Europe's gates, the terror of religion emerges—or insurges (if "insurge" can be made into a verb)—from within the normative conceptualizations of religion in the so-called modern West.

John Hick (1922 – 2012)posted by Richard Amesbury
An influential thinker in the areas of Christology, eschatology, and the problem of evil, Hick will likely best be remembered for his "pluralistic hypothesis."

Where religion comes from and leads usposted by Steven M. Tipton
In seeking to make sense of modernity in the classical tradition of sociology as a field, the body of Robert Bellah's work spans the social sciences and comparative cultural inquiry to embrace the global diversity and coherence of religion as the key to culture across civilizations and epochs within the framework of human evolution. Formally trained as a student of tribal cultures, East Asian civilization, and Islam, Bellah engages the West, and America in particular, as problematic cases that can only be understood in the broadest comparative perspective on human cultural development. This global perspective informs Bellah's conceptions of religion and human evolution as they have deepened and grown over a half century.
A response to criticsposted by Paul W. Kahn
I knew that my new book, Political Theology, would be controversial. It covers a lot of ground; it produces odd conjunctions; and its rhetoric can sound extreme. It pays little attention to academic conventions and often cuts against popular, political expectations. Some might think presumptuous its design and method of "rewriting" Schmitt's classic. Many readers are startled to find that out of an engagement with Schmitt can come an exploration of freedom in its political, legal, and discursive dimensions. Others are surprised to find that a book about sovereignty and law—let alone a theological inquiry—puts the imagination at its center.
Focus on the funk: An interview with Cornel Westposted by Eduardo Mendieta
"I would go with Pierre Hadot and say that the love of wisdom is a way of life; that is to say, it's a set of practices that have to do with mustering the courage to think critically about ourselves, society, and the world; mustering the courage to empathize; the courage, I would say, to love; the courage to have compassion with others, especially the widow and the orphan, the fatherless and the motherless, poor and working peoples, gays and lesbians, and so forth—and the courage to hope. So, it is a way of life, a set of practices, no doubt, but, at the same time, I call it a kind of focus on the funk."
Taking theology seriouslyposted by Molly Worthen
What we need is a bird's eye view, and that requires taking theology seriously, and considering a longer view of the history of Western civilization than any sociological survey can provide. […] American Grace adopts a position of respectful skepticism toward theology. The authors dutifully reproduce the questionnaire of "measures of theological belief and religious commitment" included in their survey, but they express surprise that many Americans "have stable views on such seemingly arcane theological issues" as whether a person is saved by faith or by their own good deeds. (Calling this fundamental question "arcane" is a bit like expressing confusion at that obscure rule in baseball that allows a player to score a run by crossing home plate.)
The politics of the atonementposted by J. Kameron Carter
To grasp the deep architecture of the political today, therefore, is to venture into the theological domains of Christology and especially atonement, that area of theology (particularly, Christian theology) that deals with the logic of (redemptive) death. But the journey cannot be simply phenomenological in the way Kahn carries it out. Or, put differently, it may need to be phenomenological, but in a way that Kahn himself has not considered. Atonement thinking, and the "death contract" that binds politics, must, from within a different phenomenology (and therefore from within a different approach to political theology), be redirected. There must be a new future of death and the political.
The Theological and the Politicalposted by Charles Gelman
From Fortress Press, an interview with Mark Lewis Taylor, author of The Theological and the Political: On the Weight of the World (Fortress, 2011).
The "great sinner" mythposted by Garry Wills
Confessions re-emerged into floodlit attention in the Romantic era of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, when it was read as a Bildungsroman riding on the popularity of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions (1782) and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Sorrows of Werther (1774) and Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship (1795). In 1888 Harnack would compare Confessions to Goethe's Faust. The coming-of-age tale and sins-of-my-youth story made Augustine a byword for libertine-rake glamorization. Such is the reputation of Confessions that James O'Donnell said he first took up the book as a boy with the expectation that it had salacious things in it (for which, he added, he is still futilely searching). The "great sinner" myth has no basis in fact.
Putting hell on trialposted by John D. Boy
A long-simmering conflict within U.S. evangelicalism came to the fore recently—a conflict which, as Martin Marty points out, may be more significant in the long run than the question of whether evangelicals support Mike Huckabee or Sarah Palin for the presidency in 2012. Partly theological and partly generational, it pits Rob Bell, the 40-year-old founding minister of Mars Hill Bible Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan (not to be confused with the equally prominent Mars Hill Church in Seattle), against the likes of John Piper, the 65-year-old theologian, pastor, and author, who has long stood in opposition to newer developments in evangelical theology sometimes called "the emergent church." Now, the conflict erupted into the public. . . . Bell's critics are taking advance materials for his forthcoming book, Love Wins, as suggesting a negative answer. According to Bell's alleged universalist stance, everybody is "saved"; there is no punishment for non-Christians. Since then, various media—online and offline, Christian and secular—have been reverberating with the charge of heresy.
Culture, nature, and mediationposted by John Milbank
Matthew Engelke is right: religion is about mediation. Ironically so, because it is about the divine; but because the divine is never directly available, religion must instead be about how the divine is indirectly manifest. . . . Because religion is about mediation, it naturally refuses any duality of nature and culture. Reality, as the true nature of things, is sacred, but it must be mediated by particular human relations and practices. Culture, therefore, can be neither merely arbitrary nor totally opposed to nature, since it is what truly discloses the latter.
Paul and today's emerging Christianitiesposted by Paul Kollman
My sense is that the most important cross-fertilization between contemporary Pauline scholarship and trends, like the so-called anthropology of Christianity, that seek to appreciate salient aspects of the unfolding of global Christianity would not be through the new insights, via Paul, into the supposedly Promethean self of modernity, secularism, and its many post-prefixed after-runners. This seems to be the Paul celebrated by Badiou, Agamben, and Žižek—a Paul that, as Elizabeth Castelli notes, is decidedly not one that biblical scholars today emphasize.
More than politics: An interview with Charles Villa-Vicencioposted by Nathan Schneider
As National Research Director for the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Charles Villa-Vicencio was intimately involved in the historic process that followed the collapse of apartheid and paved the way for a new social order. As a theologian, prior to the commission, he had spoken out against the apartheid regime, writing and editing numerous books that helped lead South African Christians out of complacency about their government's policies. After the commission concluded, he founded the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation, in Cape Town, and now advises peacebuilding efforts around the world. His most recent book is Walk with Us and Listen: Political Reconciliation in Africa (Georgetown University Press, 2009). We spoke at the offices of Georgetown University's Conflict Resolution Program, where Villa-Vicencio serves as a visiting scholar.

An atheism a theologian can loveposted by James K.A. Smith
"Strangely enough," Foucault mused, "man—the study of whom is supposed by the naïve to be the oldest investigation since Socrates—is probably no more than a kind of rift in the order of things." He is "only a recent invention, a figure not yet two centuries old, a new wrinkle in our knowledge" who "will disappear again as soon as that knowledge has discovered a new form."
Foucault's flippant requiem for "man" reflects a midcentury antihumanism in European thought, which, in the wake of two World Wars in the heart of Europe, had become suspicious of the "anthropotheism" of humanism wherein "Man" replaced the God who had died. And it is this story that is told so brilliantly by Stefanos Geroulanos in An Atheism That Is Not Humanist Emerges in French Thought. For these antihumanists, humanistic atheism had never really gotten over its theological tendencies; so the result of the death of God was the divinization of Man.
Defining "theodicy" (Part II)posted by Alex Eric Hernandez
Tradition dictated that one of Immanuel Kant's responsibilities as professor of metaphysics at the University of Königsberg was to lead the faculty in a march to the college chapel before worship services and other religious functions. The figurative move from reason to revelation would be thereby embodied in a literal trek towards sacred space. But according to an old—perhaps apocryphal—legend, Kant would dutifully march to the church door in full academic regalia, stop just before entering, and quietly dismiss himself from the service, content to contemplate the moral law he had so forcefully argued lay within us all. We see this same attitude formalized philosophically in his little-read essay, "On the Miscarriage of All Philosophical Trails in Theodicy."
Who's afraid of Pelagius?posted by Sarah Shortall
What could Obama's take on Iranian democracy, early-modern theodicy, and twentieth-century leftist thought have in common? Despite these wide variations in subject-matter, it seems to me that recent posts by Justin Reynolds, Alex Hernandez, and James Robertson nevertheless gesture towards a similar problematic. All three point to the profound tension which marks the relationship between human action in historical time, and the transcendent telos of the Christian salvation narrative. They point, in other words, to the thorny question of how much agency humans possess in the achievement of their own salvation.
Taylor's Constantinianismposted by John D. Boy
In the July 2010 issue of Modern Theology, Stanley Hauerwas and Romand Coles reflect on Charles Taylor's A Secular Age.
"Theologians seldom write memoirs"posted by Jake Alter
"Theologians seldom write memoirs." This, Stanley Hauerwas concedes in a follow up to his recent memoir: Hannah's Child: A Theologian's Memoir (2010). It is precisely this sentiment that makes the entire project intriguing. Stanley Hauerwas, named "America's best theologian" by Time magazine shortly before the September 11 attacks in 2001, "has made himself a very fine career as an iconoclastic ethicist, condemning assimilationist Christianity, academic "respectability," the military, ill treatment of the differently-abled, and any number of other contemporary issues where Christian mediocrity is laid bare." With this description of the author taken to heart, Jack Downey, a doctoral candidate in Theology at Fordham University, reviews this memoir and looks to identify why and how he wrote it.
Atheism and antihumanism as intellectual-historical objectsposted by Stefanos Geroulanos
I begin this post by posing straightaway the questions that will guide my argument. In what way can atheism and antihumanism be posed and understood in intellectual history? In what sense do they constitute objects of study? How does one go about weaving and articulating for them an adequate intellectual-historical approach that may facilitate an understanding of texts, concepts, and systems of thought? I want to thank Martin Kavka, Sam Moyn, Judith Surkis, and Gil Anidjar for taking the time to read and address my book with the very encouraging care that each of them has taken. In what follows, I want to take into account a number of issues that they have raised, not so much to respond as to elaborate, in relation to their stances, some of the positions I have adopted in the book and in my introduction to this discussion. I thus frame this post as an attempt to tend first and foremost to methodological questions and critiques that have been raised directly or indirectly.
Au contraire, Mr. Beckposted by Kathryn Reklis
On July 13, 2010, Glenn Beck made liberation theology—and especially Black Theology—the subject of his televised program. The real subject of his complaint was twofold: liberation theology is "a perversion of God" that mistakes Marxism for the plain meaning of the Gospels, which, for Beck, are self-evidently about individual salvation, and liberation theology does away with the language of merit, convincing the down-and-out that they are victims deserving of a handout instead of hard work. The inconsistencies of this message, along with Beck's misreading and simplification of the various complex traditions of Christian liberation theology have not gone unnoticed in rebuttals and reprisals.
Can greed be good?posted by John D. Boy
In the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's new Religion and Ethics section, renowned American theologian Stanley Hauerwas asks, "Can greed be good?"—a question obviously prompted by the ongoing economic crisis. Hauerwas argues that greed is more than just an (individual) desire to be rich. Instead, it has to be understood in the context of wider economic relations. Greed can appear a virtue only in an economic system that is premised upon unlimited economic growth.
Making sense of the emerging church movementposted by John D. Boy
Two recent contributions from the United Kingdom shed some light on the elusive phenomenon knows as the "emerging church" or, alternatively, the "emergent church" movement.
Commentaries on our ageposted by Nancy Levene
Each contributor [to Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age] delivers a reading of Taylor's work, helping to evaluate its significance, critical flaws, and lingering questions. They are companion pieces, then, and work best with a knowledge of the book. Their strength as a whole lies in the seriousness with which they address Taylor's grand narrative and the sprightliness with which they point puzzled readers to related topics and avenues. Does Taylor's book deserve such scrupulous attention? I am inclined to weight this question from the opposite side. Some of the essays in Varieties are so thought-provoking that I feel grateful to Taylor for having occasioned them, even if his own book is rather more exasperating than, as some of his readers would have it, major or magisterial.
Waiting for Godot, who is either late or not coming at allposted by Vincent P. Pecora
I wondered how long it would take DPDF participants to undo what I thought I had carefully assembled in my opening post on "Secularism, secularization, and why the difference matters." Not very long at all, it seems. And so, I will try a response here to Justin Reynolds and Alex Hernandez, both of whom have questioned what I actually mean by saying that "secularization" is a conceptual improvement over "secularism."
Secularism by eschatology, deferredposted by Alex Eric Hernandez
It's hard to say how Hans Blumenberg would have responded to recent data troubling the secularization thesis other than to see in such revisionist accounts further confirmation of precisely this contingency in the future of the secular. Still, I can't resist pointing out the irony implied by a confrontation between the Blumenbergian and the priests of secularization theory in light of our post-secular moment. For isn't the problem of the classical secularization thesis—its failure to deliver, both empirically in frustrated sociological models, and ideologically in the killing fields of various nationalisms—that of an eschatology deferred?
The "inter-religious" university and the Christian rightposted by Jake Alter

Secularism, atheism, antihumanismposted by Stefanos Geroulanos
In a 1956 text on ethics and literature, Emmanuel Levinas offered the following diagnosis of the philosophical trends of his time: "Contemporary thought holds the surprise for us of an atheism that is not humanist. The gods are dead or withdrawn from the world; concrete, even rational man does not contain the universe." This atheism that is not humanist, the sense that certain strands of contemporary philosophy had abandoned secularism's central ethical and political investment in humanism, poses the motivating question behind the book I am presenting for discussion here, An Atheism that Is Not Humanist Emerges in French Thought. In twentieth-century French thought, particularly in the period from the end of World War I through the late 1950s, a new form of atheism, and with it, a new conception of man, emerged and crystallized. What historians and critics of French thought, literature, and intellectual culture have, since the 1960s, called "antihumanism," I argue, can be best understood in terms of this development, which is at once theological, epistemological, and political.
Cyber-theologyposted by Sam Han
The bulk of the debates on religion and science today focus on ethical issues regarding advances in medical science and technology, such as cloning and stem-cell research, while far less attention has been paid to the potentials of computing and artificial intelligence (though this very topic was the subject of early cyberneticist Norbert Wiener's God and Golem, Inc.).
Oxford University Press, however, has just published Apocalyptic AI: Visions of Heaven in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Virtual Reality, by Robert Geraci, which attempts to articulate what the author calls a "cyber-theology."
Marxism and theologyposted by John D. Boy
At Monthly Review Zine, Roland Boer asks "why Marxism and theology seem to be so close, why they argue so much, and what it means for both of them," a set of questions he addresses in, not one, but four books (two of which are completed).
Radical Orthodoxy's new home?posted by Matthew Engelke
This past November, a new think tank called ResPublica was launched in London, in the opulent surrounds of the Royal Horseguards Hotel. It's not every day that a think tank appears, of course, but even so this one attracted an unusual amount of attention. The meeting room in which the launch took place was overflowing. David Cameron, the Conservative Party Leader, modernizer, and hopeful Prime Minister, provided the opening remarks, and introduced its director, Phillip Blond. In the lead-up to the launch, Blond got prime coverage on television, in the broadsheets, and throughout the blogosphere, building on what had actually been almost a year's worth of buzz over his rise to the top. ResPublica's signature approach is what Blond calls "Red Toryism," which he outlined in the February 2009 issue of Prospect as "the tradition of communitarian civic conservatism," and about which we'll soon hear more.
Orthodox paradox: An interview with John Milbankposted by Nathan Schneider
Milbank is an Anglican theologian whose ideas, distinguished by a profound skepticism of secular reason, have given shape to Radical Orthodox theology and provided the underpinnings of the Red Tory and Blue Labour movements in British politics. His most recent book, The Monstrosity of Christ, is a collaboration with the Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek, edited by Creston Davis and published in 2009 by MIT Press. He is also a contributor to Varieties of Secularism in a Secular Age, a series of critical engagements with Charles Taylor's A Secular Age, recently published by Harvard University Press.
JM: …If you are going to be an atheist and nihilist, then be one. Only second-raters repeat secular nostrums in a pious guise. Such theology can never possibly make any difference, by definition. It's a kind of sad, grey, seasonal echo of last year's genuine black. All real Christian theology, by contrast, emerges from the Church, which alone mediates the presence of the God-Man, who is the presupposition of all Christian thinking.

I-90 Open Wall to Chamberlain Eastbound I-90 Travelers Asked To Stay Put
PIERRE, S.D. – South Dakota Department of Transportation
officials announce the section of Interstate 90 between Wall and Chamberlain is now open.
Interstate 90 between Chamberlain and Mitchell remains closed and officials say it is unlikely to be reopened yet today based on the
available forecast.
Motorists who are traveling east are asked to stay where they are until crews are able to open I-90 completely.
The National Weather Service has said this storm will continue to intensify in eastern South Dakota and along the I-29 corridor bringing freezing rain, heavy snow, and gusty winds.
Travel conditions are anticipated to deteriorate in that area and No-Travel advisories and additional road closures may be necessary, especially during the overnight hours.
Snow-packed and icy roadways, along with blowing and drifting snow, continue to create dangerous driving conditions across much of the state and motorists are being asked to drive with extreme caution and travel only when necessary.
Travelers are encouraged to visit www.safetravelusa.com/sd or call 511 to check the latest road conditions and travel advisories.

Most federal agencies will miss the Sept. 30 deadline by which their public-facing websites are supposed to support Internet Protocol version 6. An official weekly snapshot provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology showed that as of Sept. 26, just 11 percent of the 1,498 government external domains tested had operational IPv6 support. Another 35 percent have the support in progress, but a full 54 percent showed no progress.
(See the complete list of domains included in the testing here.)The government is doing better than industry, however, which showed only 1 percent of sites with full support and another 28 percent in progress.
NIST cautions that its results are only estimates. Still, the numbers suggest the government still has some way to go to meet the Obama Administration's mandate, issued in 2010 by former U.S. CIO Vivek Kundra. NIST looks to see whether a given domain supports IPv6 in three components: the domain name system -- which translates the numerical IP address into something intelligible to humans, such as fcw.com -- e-mail and the web.
There is urgency driven by the mandate, but there is also urgency driven by the dwindling number of available addresses under IPv4, the old standard. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, which manages the global allocation of IP addresses, assigned the final available blocks to regional registries in early 2011, and some of those regional allocations have already been exhausted. IPv6 affords an exponentially larger number of unique IP addresses (79,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as many as IPv4), which will be vital for the increasingly networked world.
Akamai, a company that provides products and services to enable agencies to make the transition, has seen an increase in the level of priority, said Christine Schweikert, senior engagement manager with the company. "With the upcoming deadline, we're finding that the transition to IPv6 is really top of mind for U.S. government agencies," she said a few days before the deadline.
Akamai uses dual-stacked servers to aid the transition, allowing an agency to run IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously. She likened it to learning a new language. "Over time, as IPv6 clients become more ubiquitous, you speak less and less IPv4 and eventually, IPv6 becomes your native language," she said.

ABC wants 'Old Christine' if CBS doesn't
ABC and Warner Bros. went through a similar dance last year, when "Old Christine" was on the bubble for renewal and ABC was in search of more
The deal this year came about because CBS hasn't yet made a decision on whether to renew the show. The HR says that "for now," CBS is leaning toward bringing the show back for 2009-10.
ABC is trying to make a bigger push into comedy and is sifting through more than a dozen sitcom pilots as it sets its lineup for next season. The network will have precious few established shows with which to pair any newcomers, though -- none of its current comedies are sure bets for renewal -- so a veteran show could help anchor a comedy block.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
|"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp"
|Song by Led Zeppelin from the album Led Zeppelin III
|5 October 1970
|May–August 1970
|Folk rock[1]
|Jimmy Page
|Led Zeppelin III track listing
"Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is a song on English rock band Led Zeppelin's third album, Led Zeppelin III, released in 1970.
Song history[edit]
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant constructed the song in 1970 at Bron-Yr-Aur, a small cottage in Wales where they stayed after completing a gruelling concert tour of North America.[2][3] John Paul Jones also received a writing credit for the song. It was later recorded at Headley Grange in 1970, using a mobile studio belonging to the Rolling Stones. It was finished off at Island, London and Ardent Studios, Memphis, Tennessee.
Drummer John Bonham played spoons and castanets on the recording.[3] Bassist John Paul Jones played an acoustic five-string fretless bass. Jimmy Page's 1971 Martin D-28 guitar, in this song, is tuned to open D with a capo at the 3rd fret.
Jennings Farm Blues[edit]
|"Jennings Farm Blues"
|Song by Led Zeppelin from the album Led Zeppelin III (Deluxe Edition)
|2 June 2014
|13 December 1969
|Blues rock
|Jimmy Page
|Led Zeppelin III (Deluxe Edition) track listing
Led Zeppelin also recorded the song as an electric blues rock instrumental, "Jennings Farm Blues" (Rough Mix of All Guitar Overdubs That Day), which later surfaced as a studio out-take on a number of Led Zeppelin bootleg recordings.[3] Jennings Farm is the name of the property on which the Plant family stayed in the early 1970s. "Jennings Farm Blues" was released on 2 June 2014, as part of the remastering process of all nine albums. The released version of "Jennings Farm Blues" is incorrectly marked in the booklet given in the CD Deluxe Edition, stating that the song was recorded 13 December 1970, which would be the time of recordings around the time when Led Zeppelin's fourth album was being recorded. The correct year should be 1969.
Origin of the name[edit]
The song is named after Bron-Yr-Aur, a house in Gwynedd, Wales, where the members of Led Zeppelin retreated in 1970 to write much of Led Zeppelin III after having completed a gruelling concert tour of North America. Bron-Yr-Aur means "golden breast" or "breast of gold" in Welsh, as in a hillside of gold. Its pronunciation is [ˈbrɔn ər ˈaɪr]. The cottage had no electricity or running water, but the change of scenery provided inspiration for many of the songs on the album, including "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp."
The song's title was misspelled on the album cover during initial printing; it should read "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp." This error can be contrasted to another Led Zeppelin track, "Bron-Yr-Aur", a two-minute instrumental featured on their later album Physical Graffiti, which was spelled correctly. When the song appeared on the 2003 DVD, it was spelled correctly both on the back cover of the set and the DVD's menu, although without the hyphens ("Bron Yr Aur Stomp"), and on the live album How the West Was Won it was spelled "Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp".
In "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp", a country music-inflected hoedown, singer Robert Plant waxes lyrically about walking in the woods with his blue-eyed Merle dog named Strider.[3] Plant reportedly named his dog after Aragorn (often called Strider) from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. References to the work of Tolkien exist in some other Led Zeppelin songs, such as "Ramble On," "The Battle of Evermore," and "Misty Mountain Hop". However, there are no explicit references to Tolkien works in "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp". The lyrics also make reference to the song "Old Shep": When you're old and your eyes are dim / There ain't no "Old Shep" gonna happen again.
Live performances[edit]
This song regularly appeared in Led Zeppelin's acoustic set from the second UK tour in 1971 to the 1973 European Tour. When the band performed the song live at Led Zeppelin concerts, John Paul Jones played an upright bass and Bonham sang harmony vocals with Plant (always stopping in the middle of the third verse). This can be seen in the footage from the Earls Court concerts in May 1975, featured on the Led Zeppelin DVD. On the band's 1977 North American tour, the song "Black Country Woman" was merged into a medley with "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp". At one Californian show (6/27/77 LA Forum), "Dancing Days" was also featured in the acoustic medley. In some shows, Page sings harmony vocals with Plant instead of Bonham (Seattle in 1977, for example).

The European Parliament always intrigued Girard Bucello, but the University of Mary Washington junior never thought he'd be on the frontlines in Switzerland assisting with inaugural research about the European Union's governing body. This fall, he's spending the semester studying at the University of Geneva involved in cutting-edge research about the voting patterns of the organization of 28 countries. The topic has been virtually unaddressed since the Parliament has been in existence for only 50 years. "Ultimately, we want to understand how the European Parliament works, but since it's such a new government body, there's not a lot of data. That's where we come in," Bucello said. "Looking at how [members] cast their votes lets us predict what the outcome of any particular vote might be, but it also tells us a lot about what the European Union itself is going to look like in five or 10 years. It's very interesting to be involved in a field of research where there's actually not a … [Read more...]

Voices of Hope
Growing up in Afghanistan, Fatemeh Ahmadi moved every couple years, her family bouncing from one house to another. The University of Mary Washington junior, who never imagined she'd attend a university in the U.S., spent last spring break giving another family a place to call home as part of a Habitat for Humanity trip. "I come from a third world country where we've lived in rental houses," Ahmadi said. "I understand how hard it is not to have a roof of your own on top of your head." Now, she is the first person in her family to attend college. Ahmadi and Afghan native Maryam Yousufzai, also a junior, are receiving full scholarships through UMW as part of the Initiative to Educate Afghan Women, known as IEAW. The largest program of its kind, the IEAW has a mission to "create Afghanistan's future women leaders through education and career guidance." Since the launch of the program more than a decade ago, the initiative has given an education and a voice to more than 85 … [Read more...]
Building Global Leaders
In a small village in Tanzania, Mama Anna teaches local children from a makeshift classroom in her home. She greets everyone in the village by name and always looks for ways to help others, even in the face of her positive HIV diagnosis. "As a leader, she is innovative, compassionate and committed," said Meagan Holbrook, a 2013 graduate of the University of Mary Washington. "Those three traits enable her to do great things in her community and allow others to benefit from her talents." Holbrook and eight UMW students traveled to Tanzania in July as part of a faculty-led study abroad program. The 14-day trip, led by Vice President for Student Affairs Doug Searcy, was the culmination of last semester's "Cultural Leadership in Tanzania" leadership seminar course. "I think in America sometimes we lose sight of what community means and what family means," Holbrook said. "In Tanzania, even when people may not have had the time or the resources, they welcomed us into … [Read more...]

The Speaker's Circuit is a collaborative program allowing member institutions to share in the cost of bringing speakers to present on Cuban topics. One speaker can visit multiple institutions while traveling on the same invitation and visa, thus significantly reducing both administrative and direct costs for each sponsoring institution. In this way, sponsors are able to enhance their programming, bringing a broader range of speakers than they could otherwise afford to invite, while building their relationships with partner organizations in the
Any institution wishing to sponsor a visit takes on the responsibility of issuing the initial invitation and coordinating the speaker's international travel. The CSC then facilitates the visit by announcing it to other member institutions via the listserv, consulting on routing, and assisting with visa processing. Once co-sponsoring institutions have signed on, they share in the pro-rated costs of international airfare, as well as paying domestic airfare to their location and local lodging for the speaker.
Through the Speaker's Circuit, participating institutions are able to enhance their program offerings, bringing a diverse range of speakers while at the same time significantly reducing the overall cost to themselves. For example, a visit that might have cost an institution $3000 could be organized via the Speaker's Circuit for approximately half that, depending on the specific circumstances.
If you are interested in inviting or hosting a speaker, please send an email to

Access to scholarly resources, especially recently published and scientific materials, continues to be one of the most urgent needs expressed by academic, scientific and cultural organizations in Cuba. Working closely with member institutions, the CSC organizes the provision and transport of books and journals to such institutions in Cuba.
Many university libraries have duplicate copies of books or can purchase them at a discount. Book and journal donations are an excellent and highly cost-effective way to build and strengthen relationships with Cuban counterparts.
If you have books that you would like to donate to a Cuban institution, or if you would be willing to assist in the transportation of books to Cuba, please send an email to
firstname.lastname@example.com. [ top ]
As Cuban institutions continue to develop relationships with North American universities and cultural institutions, the short course model has proven to be a highly effective means to build specialized relationships. When such courses are offered in Cuba, participating institutions gain access to cutting-edge knowledge and skills from abroad. The same is the case with short courses offered in North America by Cuban specialists. Both provide information which is often not otherwise available or current.
Just as importantly, short courses both establish and build active, collaborative relationships. Not only does the course respond to a stated institutional interest, but there is a clear product of the exchange, and formal relationships often become personal ones. On the basis of such interactions and successes, future collaborative projects are often planned.
The CSC is developing a database of individuals and institutions with specialized skills or knowledge with an interest in offering short courses in Cuba or holding such at their home institutions. If you are interested in offering a short course in Cuba, or if you are interested in hosting a Cuban expert to offer such a course at your institution, please fill out the form by

The CSC brings together North American and Cuban scholars who share like interests and a desire for academic collaboration. Such academic matchmaking utilizes the Consortium's contact base, databases, listserv and bulletin boards to facilitate collaborative research and exchanges. With the expansion of email in Cuba, collaborative research and exchanges are more feasible than ever.

Over the past several years, the increasing number of Cuba initiatives has outnumbered the limited number of funding sources, grants and awards available for research and exchanges on Cuba. Below is a listing of funding sources and related opportunities for work on Cuba.

How did the Bucs determine that Jameis Winston would be their first round draft pick last April and the overall No. 1 NFL selection? Next week Buccaneers.com senior writer Scott Smith will debut a look at the process, with unprecedented behind the scenes footage of the process.
Buccaneers.com described the upcoming multi-media feature – "From the end of the regular season until the start of the NFL draft, all eyes were on the Buccaneers as the team prepared to select a player with the No. 1 overall pick, which was eventually used on quarterback Jameis Winston. The process for selecting Winston was exhaustive, to say the least. Throughout it all, Buccaneers.com was there documenting it, step-by-step, from beginning to end.
Senior Writer Scott Smith was granted unprecedented access to the Bucs' front office, including General Manger Jason Licht, during the draft process. Next week, fans will be able to read about everything that went into selecting Winston in Smith's feature, "Four Months on the Clock: The Anatomy of a Franchise-Changing Decision."
The feature will be released next week, but you can get a sneak peak at one of the videos that will be included by clicking here.

My Daughter Loves It
Shelley from Little Rock, AR – Verified Buyer
For me, the mom, it seems too firm when set-up as sofa but not too bad when using as bed. The detachable cushion helps a little and then we have a full size padded mattress pad on it when using as a bed. Full size bedding fits it just fine. My 14 year old daughter loves it! You do have to stand behind it and in the center to get the click-clak mechanism to work. I was worried it was broken at first but I think it just has a sweet spot. Most click-claks I have used always click and engage no matter what. Hoping it won't be an issue later but she is mainly sleeping on it and won't be used as a sofa much, so little use in that regard. Fabric is a pretty dark gray but a little rough feeling…not too bad though. It surprisingly doesn't hold onto animal hair like I thought it would, falls off fairly easy. It is a little heavy and long (hard to flip around by yourself). And limited in the directions (look on outside of box for the click-clak secret). You have to flip it over to find the nice wood legs in a secret little zipper compartment within the dust cover. I would have rather had them in the box. But you have to flip it anyways to put the legs on, so no biggie. We found it easiest for me to stand it up on its side while my daughter put the legs on. Legs also come with floor protecting squares to put on, nice. It does look very good! My only complaints would be for how much it cost, I wish I wouldn't have to worry about the click-clak mechanism and wish it had been a little softer.
Great Quality
Chaojing from Parsippany, NJ – Verified Buyer
The men who delivered it were extra kind and helped move the sofa into our home. The pieces were easy to assemble and the sofa is very comfy to sit on.
Great look, low to the ground

Employing extraordinarily supple, nearly tactile stop-motion animation and 3D effects, the children's film Coraline is filled with visual magic, and just about corners the market on unsettling imagery. A grinning pair of parental doppelgängers, with buttons sewn into their eye sockets, serve a dinner composed of mango milkshakes and chocolate beetles. Two morbidly obese British dowagers unzip their skins and emerge as lithe trapeze artists. A feral alley cat talks, and a theatre full of mutts attends a vaudeville, and it's all strange and clever and tantalizingly designed. Is it ungrateful, if not downright senseless, to admit that I could hardly wait for this movie to end?
