Her dissertation "Intellectuals in Monarchic Iraq "1921-1941" looks at the construction of the Iraqi public sphere and the emergence of democratic discourses in Iraq during the interwar period. She did her undergraduate work at Tel Aviv University in Middle Eastern History & Arabic Literature. Her publications include articles on the history of Arab-Jews in Iraq, on Iraqi history and on Arabic literature. She has also edited a book Sculpturing Culture in Egypt with Israel Gershoni and Liat Kozma, which included translations into Hebrew of seminal works by Egyptian intellectuals. Her most recent book deals with intellectuals in Hashemite Iraq and is entitled The Other Iraq, Intellectuals, Pluralism and Culture in Hashemite Iraq, 1921-1958.
Elisabeth Camp is an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Pennsylvania, where she also has affiliations with the Institute for Research in Cognitive Science and the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience. She received her B.A. in English and Philosophy from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1993, and her Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of California, Berkeley in 2003. She then spent 3 years at the Harvard Society of Fellows before moving to Penn in 2006.
Camp works primarily in philosophy of mind and philosophy of language, with special focus on various forms of "non-propositional" thought and talk. One major strand of research focuses on metaphor as a cognitive and linguistic phenomenon. She is currently working on a book about perceptual and cognitive "perspectives," in which one concept or thought structures our overall understanding of a topic in an intuitive and holistic way. She has also written on sarcasm, fiction, and racial slurs; on the distinction between semantics and pragmatics; and on animal cognition and the difference between thinking with maps and with sentences. She regularly teaches undergraduate and graduate courses on mind, language, meaning, art, and the emotions.
Margot Canaday is a legal and political historian who studies gender and sexuality in modern America. She holds a B.A. from the University of Iowa and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota. Canaday joined the History Department at Princeton University in 2008 after a three-year term in the Princeton Society of Fellows. Her first book, The Straight State: Sexuality and Citizenship in Twentieth Century America, was published in the summer of 2009 by Princeton University Press. It examines military, immigration, and welfare policy to ask how homosexuality came to be a meaningful category for the federal state over the early- to mid-twentieth century. The dissertation on which the book is based won the Lerner-Scott prize from the Organization of American Historians (OAH), as well as prizes from the Law and Society Association, and the University of Minnesota. She was also the recipient of the Louis Pelzer Memorial Award from the OAH. Canaday's work has been supported by grants and fellowships from the OAH, the American Historical Association, the Center for the Study of Sexual Minorities in the Military, and twice by the Social Science Research Council. Her new book project is a queer history of the American workplace from the mid-nineteenth century to the present that integrates labor, business, legal, and women's history with the history of sexuality.

Dan Edelstein is an assistant professor of French at Stanford University. He was raised in Geneva, Switzerland, where he attended university, before returning to the United States for graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania. He works primarily on eighteenth-century French literature, politics, and philosophy, and more generally on questions of political mythology and revolution. His first book, The Terror of Natural Right: Republicanism, the Cult of Nature, and the French Revolution (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2009), examines how liberal natural right theories, classical republicanism, and the myth of the golden age became fused in eighteenth-century political culture, only to emerge as a violent ideology during the Terror. A second book on the genealogy of the Enlightenment, also with Chicago, is forthcoming in fall 2010.
Zachary First is the Managing Director of the Drucker Institute. The Drucker Institute at Claremont Graduate University is a think tank and action tank whose purpose is to stimulate effective management and ethical leadership across all sectors of society. It does this, in large part, by advancing the ideas and ideals of Peter F. Drucker, the father of modern management.
The Institute acts as a hub for a worldwide network of Drucker Societies: volunteer-driven organizations that are using Drucker's teachings to bring about positive change in their local communities. In addition, the Institute maintains a digital archive of Drucker's papers; undertakes research that builds on Drucker's writings; offers an annual $100,000 prize for nonprofit innovation; produces curricular material that distills Drucker's decades of leading-edge thinking, including through an engaging, do-it-yourself workshop-in-a-box called "Drucker Unpacked"; applies Drucker's work to current events (through a regular online column in Business Week and through a social media tool called Drucker Apps); and hosts visiting fellows with Drucker-like insights and values.
Zach joined the Drucker Institute in 2007 after a 10-year career in higher education. He worked most recently as the inaugural assistant dean at Olin College, a new undergraduate engineering institution founded with a $430 million gift from the F. W. Olin Foundation, where he led the invention and implementation of the judicial and residence life systems. Zach received his B.A. in philosophy from Haverford College, and his masters and doctorate degrees in higher education from Harvard University. His doctoral dissertation research focused on the connection between leadership tactics and organizational performance. He recently completed a two-year study of innovation and assessment in higher education that was funded by the Spencer Foundation.
Brett Gadsden is Assistant Professor of African American Studies at Emory University. He received his Ph.D in History from Northwestern University. His research focuses on the modern Civil Rights Movement, US race relations, post-World War II America, legal history, and education history.
His book, Victory Without Triumph: School Desegregation in Delaware, is under contract with the University of Pennsylvania Press. This project explores the evolution of a long litigation campaign that challenged varying forms of racial segregation and inequality in post-World War II America and melded essentials elements of liberal integrationism with other traditions within the black freedom struggle, including self-help, voluntarism, and community control politics. State officials, responding in large part to widespread popular opposition to desegregation, opposed such efforts at almost every turn. This reaction revealed the power of an oppositional politics steeped in the ostensibly liberal language and logic of "whites' rights" and provided a discursive bridge for a broad-based oppositional politics composed of interests nominally considered "Southern" and "Northern" and liberal and conservative. Civil rights advances and educational reforms were thus refigured as infringing on the political, economic, and social rights of white citizens. The depths of white opposition to school desegregation revealed the limits of the civil rights consensus around Brown v. Board of Education and the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As the burdens of reform were transferred onto African Americans, school desegregation in Delaware was, as the title of this book suggests, a victory without triumph.
Portions of Victory Without Triumph have been published in the Journal of African American History and will appear in the Journal of Urban History. Gadsden is the recipient of fellowships and grants from the National Academy of Education, Spencer Foundation, Smithsonian Institution, American Historical Association, Hagley Museum and Library, and Delaware Heritage Commission.
Bryan Garsten is Professor of Political Science at Yale University, where he teaches and writes about the history of political thought and contemporary political theory. His first book, Saving Persuasion, a Defense of Rhetoric and Judgment (Harvard University Press, 2006), explored the history of thinking about political rhetoric and defended a model of deliberation in which rhetorical appeals play an important role. He is now finishing a second book, The Heart of a Heartless World, which explores the sorts of citizenship and religiosity that early nineteenth-century writers in France and America thought would fit most easily into life under liberal representative governments.
Garsten's scholarship has won numerous awards, including the First Book Prize from the political theory section of the American Political Science Association, and his work in the classroom earned him Yale College's Poorvu Family Award for Interdisciplinary Teaching. He is currently serving as Director of Undergraduate Studies for Yale's program in Ethics, Politics & Economics and teaching courses on representative government, political rhetoric and ancient political thought. He has recently been involved in several projects to rethink the nature of liberal education both here in the United States and in other parts of the world.
Leah Gordon is an Assistant Professor of Education and (by courtesy) of History at Stanford University. She received a B.A. in History from Brown University and a joint-Ph.D. in History and Education from the University of Pennsylvania. Professor Gordon is an intellectual and cultural historian whose scholarship integrates the history of American social thought, the history of American education, and African American history. She is interested in the social science of race relations, in school desegregation, and in shifting conceptions of social justice and equality in the twentieth century United States. More broadly, her research examines the politics of knowledge production, the relationship between expert and popular social theory, and the American tendency to "educationalize" social problems.
Professor Gordon's current book project, entitled The Question of Prejudice: Social Science, Education, and the Struggle to Define the Race Problem in Mid-Century America, 1935-1965, shows how individualistic social theories—which posited white attitudes, morality, and discrimination as the roots of racial oppression—gained traction in mid-century social thought. This study reveals how a particular framework for progress in race relations became dominant through an examination of networks: the social, institutional, and financial ties linking universities, philanthropic foundations, religious organizations, and civil rights activists. Debates about the causes and significance of prejudice at the Rockefeller Foundation, the University of Chicago, Fisk and Howard Universities, and the National Conference of Christians and Jews provide the source material and organizational structure for this analysis.
Professor Gordon has received awards and fellowships from the Spencer Foundation, the Woodrow Wilson Foundation, the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Africana Studies, and Cheiron, The International Society for the History of Behavioral and Social Sciences.
Angel Harris is an Assistant Professor of sociology and African American Studies. He is a research associate in the Office of Population Research, Center for Research on Child Wellbeing, and the Joint Doctoral Degree Program in Social Policy and Sociology at Princeton University. His research interests include social inequality, policy, and education. His work focuses on the social psychological determinants of the racial achievement gap. Specifically, he examines the factors that contribute to differences in academic investment among African Americans, Latino/as, Asian Americans, and Whites. He has published several articles on the racial achievement gap that have appeared in various academic journals such as Social Forces, Sociology of Education, Social Science Quarterly, the Annals of the American and Political Social Science, and Sex Roles. He has also published several book chapters and is currently completing a book manuscript on this subject for Harvard University Press. Dr. Harris is also in the process of writing a second book manuscript on the link between parenting and youths' schooling outcomes.
Aishwary Kumar is Assistant Professor of Modern History at Stanford University. He received his Masters degree from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, and his Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge. He has held the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fellowship at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was elected the Rouse Ball Fellow in History in 2006. He moved to the Department of History at Stanford in 2007, where he is also attached to the Ethics in Society Program and the Program in Modern Thought and Literature. He is Faculty Associate at the Center for South Asian Studies at the University of Cambridge.
Kumar's work is fundamentally concerned with the pasts and futures of universal history, as it has come to be mediated by the particularities of the postcolonial predicament. He is currently working on two books, provisionally titled The Death of the Early Modern: Primitive Record and the Labor of History and Touchabilities: Fraternity, Freedom and Measures of the Political. His publications are forthcoming in 2010 in Modern Intellectual History and Public Culture.
How does the concept of the human become universally thinkable? What gives the epistemology of the human such a recognizable legibility and conceptual consistency? The Death of the Early Modern argues that the human can be understood as having emerged as a category only through historical periodization, and that the death of periods, that is, of certain historical times, render this universality of the human and the legibility of history itself fragile. It interrogates the moment of archiving as the constitutive site where the human and the non-human decline and emerge as political and moral subjects in the modern imagination.
Touchabilities explores how notions of immediacy and distance in anti-colonial thought become crucial to meditating upon the founding assumptions of liberal politics and community. Much of the book is concerned with the conceptual life of touching and non-touching as it is displaced from aesthetics and logic and rehabilitated to the realm of the historical and the political. The experience of being touched or not-touched, the book suggests, comes to be inextricably tied to the experience of freedom itself as singular, fraternal and touchable. Understood thus, freedom is no longer containable within the calculable and reproducible world of the liberal contract.
Kumar teaches courses on South Asia; Liberalism and Violence; Empire; Disenchantment; Historicism and the Problem of the Present; Cosmopolitanism; Postcolonial Theory; and Universal History. His larger research interests are in the pasts and futures of democracy; the status of antiquity and civilization in modern thought; and the corpus of Indian composer RD Burman. In 2010, Kumar is organizing an international workshop at Stanford on "What is Civilization? Notes on the Indo-European".
Christopher P. Loss is a historian of the twentieth century United States who specializes in the history of American higher education. He is an Assistant Professor of Education at Peabody College of Vanderbilt University. His work has been published in the Journal of American History, the Journal of Policy History, and the Journal of Military History, among others. His article "'The Most Wonderful Thing Has Happened To Me In The Army': Psychology, Citizenship, and American Higher Education in World War II," Journal of American History 92.3 (Dec. 2005), won the 2006 James Madison Prize, awarded annually to an outstanding article on the history of the federal government by the Society for History in the Federal Government. He has held fellowships at the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia and at the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C.
His first book, based on his dissertation, is under contract with Princeton University Press. Between Citizens and the State: The Politics of American Higher Education in the 20th Century is a synthetic social, political, and intellectual history that draws upon American political development theory, the history of citizenship, the new organizational history, and the history of the therapeutic ethos. It tracks the rise and fall of the partnership between the state and higher education in the twentieth century, revealing higher education's central role in national politics, in state-building, and in ongoing debates about democratic citizenship.
Currently, Loss is beginning work on a number of new projects: one on the impact of war on the development of American higher education, another on the link between pluralism and diversity in campus and national politics since the 1960s. Loss's next book will explore the rise of interdisciplinarity and the challenges it has posed for academic experts in the post-1945 U.S.
Barry McCrea is assistant professor of Comparative Literature at Yale University, where he teaches modern literature, especially narrative, in English, French, Gaelic, Italian, and Spanish. His novel, The First Verse, won the 2006 Ferro-Grumley prize for fiction, and was published in Spanish and German translations.
His next book, World of Strangers: The New Families of Modern Fiction, forthcoming with Columbia University Press this year, investigates the relationship between new models of the family and new forms of narrative in the early twentieth century, and argues that the modernist narrative forms of Joyce and Proust are underpinned by a queer reconception of family ties.
His current book project, The Future of the Novel from Horseback to Facebook, argues that the semi-permanent electronic connectedness of our time poses a serious problem for the novel – not because readers' attention spans are too short, but because the construction of plot, the rhythm of narrative, and the elaboration of character rely, structurally, on precisely what our technologies attempt to eliminate, namely delay and distance. Communications Technology and the Novel addresses the question of the novel's future by looking at its past, analyzing the structural role that communication technologies – letters, horses, telegrams, trains, cars, email, mobile phones – have played in shaping plot and character throughout the novel's history from the seventeenth century to the present.
He is also finishing an essay on minor-language modernist poetry by non-native speakers in Catholic Europe.
His research has focused on how deep narrative structures are connected to social, cultural and psychological realities, and he is interested in the challenges posed to the teaching of literature and to narrative form itself by recent changes in communication technology, reading patterns, and social life. In particular, he is interested in how the teaching of literature and the shape of the novel will evolve in response to these changes. The question of narrative form, which was central to literary study in the 1960s and 70s has since been sidelined by questions concerning content (such as identity or political contexts), but may now offer a way for the discipline of literature to address some pressing contemporary questions.
Jal Mehta is Assistant Professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. His primary research interests are in understanding the relationship between knowledge and action; substantively he is most interested in the policy and politics of creating high quality schooling at scale. His dissertation, The Transformation of American Educational Policy, 1980-2001, recently received the Outstanding Dissertation Award from the AERA politics' section. He is a co-author of Rampage: The Social Roots of School Shootings, which was a finalist for the C. Wright Mills Award. He is currently working on a book charting the growing "rationalization" of American schooling, asking what this shift means for the educational field, for the teaching profession, and for social justice. He is also working on a project, The Chastened Dream, about the limits and possibilities of using social science as a means of achieving social progress. He is also an editor and essay writer. Jal received his Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Policy from Harvard University.
Cynthia Miller-Idriss is Assistant Professor of International Education and Educational Sociology at New York University. She received an A.B. in Sociology and German Area Studies from Cornell University, and dual Masters in Sociology and Public Policy and a Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Michigan. Her overarching scholarly interest is in the relationship between national states, educational institutions, and citizens, with a primary focus on the ways in which state efforts to create certain kinds of citizens, or particular kinds of knowledge among citizens, become tempered, transformed, or even subverted by "everyday practices" in schools and universities.
She is the author of Blood and Culture: Youth, Right-Wing Extremism, and National Belonging in Contemporary Germany (Duke University Press, 2009), as well as several articles on youth, nationalism, and education. She has been the recipient of fellowships and grants from the Spencer Foundation, the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, the German Academic Exchange Service, and the U.S. Department of Education, among others. Her new work follows two main trajectories. The first project, which she is conducting together with Co-Principal Investigator Seteney Shami at the Social Science Research Council, focuses on internationalization in higher education in the U.S., Germany, and the U.K and will produce a book based on the first phase of qualitative data; it is currently titled Ambivalent Internationals: How American Social Scientists View the World (co-authored with Mitchell Stevens and Seteney Shami). The second project examines the recent escalation in the use of symbols and codes among right-wing extremist youth in Germany in the form of tattoos, slogans, t-shirts, and particular brands of clothing, sneakers, or music labels. Drawing on archival photographs and documents, Miller-Idriss is analyzing this symbolic performance of extremism and the decontextualization, reappropriation, commodification, and rapid transformation of right-wing extremist symbols over the past decade.
At NYU, Miller-Idriss currently teaches required methods and cross-cultural studies courses as well as doctoral seminars and will teach a new undergraduate course on terrorism, extremism and education in spring 2010.
Andrew Monson received his Ph.D. in Ancient History from the Department of Classics at Stanford University in 2008. He also holds a B.A. in Classical Studies from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.Phil. in Archaeology from University College London. Since September 2008, Andrew has been an Assistant Professor in the Department of Classics at New York University. He is an affiliate of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at NYU. His research centers around the impact of Persian, Hellenistic, and Roman imperialism on Egyptian politics, society, and economy. He has published on land tenure, taxation, religious associations, and temple administration. His dissertation is now being turned into a book for Cambridge University Press with the tentative title, From the Ptolemies to the Romans: Land Rights, Taxation, and Political Change in Egypt.
One of Andrew's broader interests is how Classics should respond to the globalizing trends in higher education. Students and scholars of the ancient world can draw on increasingly sophisticated cross-cultural, comparative approaches to understand parallel developments from China to the Mediterranean and from Central Asia to the New World. Andrew is co-organizing a conference with Walter Scheidel on fiscal regimes in pre-modern world history to be held at Stanford University in May 2010. The opening of NYU's new liberal arts campus in the United Arab Emirates has afforded him an opportunity to explore how a global perspective on ancient history could create intellectual partnerships across contemporary cultures. He has organized Teaching the Ancient World, a two-day conference in Abu Dhabi and seminars for Emirati students in Al Ain, November 22-24, 2009, which will contribute to the planning for NYU Abu Dhabi's undergraduate curriculum.
Margaret O'Mara is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Washington. Specializing in twentieth century urban and political history, her research investigates the changing shape of postindustrial metropolitan landscapes and the experiences of the people who live in them. The modern university is central to this inquiry, having played an increasingly significant role in the economic, cultural, and political life of American places over the course of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first. O'Mara's first book, Cities of Knowledge: Cold War Science and the Search for the Next Silicon Valley, considered the role of universities in regional economic development between 1945 and 1970 and considered their influence on the form and function of high-tech landscapes. The university's evolving role in the wider world continues to be a major theme in her current projects, which include a monograph about the changing definition of work and productive spaces in twentieth century America and a comparative study of suburban built environments in the US, China, and India.
In addition to her writing and teaching in the Department of History, O'Mara serves as a special advisor on university-based economic issues in the UW's Office of External Affairs, steering partnerships with regional and national collaborators around sustainable urban growth, urban equity, and workforce preparation. She received her MA/PhD from the University of Pennsylvania and her BA from Northwestern University. From 1993 to 1997 she was a political appointee in the Clinton Administration, working on urban policy and health care issues as well as welfare reform.
O'Mara lives in Seattle with her husband and two daughters.

Josipa Roksa is Assistant Professor of Sociology, with a courtesy appointment in the Curry School of Education, at the University of Virginia. She received her B.A., summa cum laude, in Psychology from Mount Holyoke College, and Ph.D. in Sociology from New York University (NYU). Her primary research interests are in social stratification and education. More specifically, her research aims to understand the transmission of advantage across generations, inequality in access, attainment and learning in higher education, and interaction between school and work. Roksa is currently conducting a number of different studies examining how young adults' transitions into work, marriage and parenthood shape class and racial/ethnic inequalities in college completion and subsequent labor market outcomes. Her research has been published in journals such as Sociology of Education, Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, Teachers College Record, Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, Review of Higher Education, and Research in Higher Education.
Professor Roksa is also a co-author, with Professor Richard Arum at NYU, of a forthcoming book entitled Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses (University of Chicago Press, Fall 2010). Academically Adrift examines how individual experiences and institutional contexts are related to students' development of critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing skills during the first two years of college. The research project that led to the book was organized by the Social Science Research Council (SSRC) as part of its collaborative partnership with the Pathways to College Network and is supported by the Carnegie, Ford, Lumina, and Teagle Foundations.
Professor Roksa teaches courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels in social stratification, education, research methods, and statistics. She has also worked on developing collaborative ties across disciplines and has co-taught a course with a colleague from the Curry School of Education titled "American Public Education: Successes and Challenges." She was named a University Teaching Fellow (UTF) for the 2008-2009 academic year.
Vanessa Ryan is Assistant Professor of English at Brown University, specializing in 19th-century British literature and culture. Ryan's research and teaching explore the ways literary writing engages a range of other fields of thought, including psychology, moral philosophy, and history. She received her A.B. in Literature from Harvard University and her Ph.D. in English Literature from Yale University. Before starting her position at Brown, Ryan was a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. She was most recently Research Forum Mellon Foundation Visiting Professor at The Courtauld Institute of Art, London. Ryan is working on a book entitled Thinking without Thinking in the Victorian Novel that examines the pivotal role played by fiction in mid-nineteenth-century debates about the new sciences of the mind. She has published articles on George Eliot, Thomas Carlyle, Arthur Hugh Clough, George Bernard Shaw, James Sully, and Edmund Burke in RES: Review of English Studies, Victorian Poetry, SHAW, The Journal of the History of Ideas, and Literature and Medicine.
Ryan's work is concerned with how literary texts function outside the literary sphere, in social, scientific, and cultural settings. Specifically, she has studied the epistemological functions of literary form and its ties in the nineteenth century to moral action and education. Ryan is currently examining the conception of the intellectual during the later nineteenth-century, as literature engaged the growing importance of scientific and specialized knowledge. Her teaching centers on the nineteenth-century and also considers the relationship between scientific and literary writing more broadly. She teaches courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels on the Victorian novel, narrative and psychology, literature and technology, science and the body in art, and the fantastic mode in literature.
Lorraine (Lori) Gates Schuyler is the Chief of Staff in the Office of the President at the University of Richmond. At Richmond, Schuyler is responsible for projects that span the divisions of the University, and she advises the president on policy decisions. Working with the President and the Vice Presidents, she manages a wide variety of planning efforts, helps lead the institutional budget process, and coordinates the work on the University's strategic plan. Before moving to the University of Richmond, Schuyler served as Assistant Dean in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of Virginia, where she also taught in the history department.
Schuyler earned her doctorate in history from the University of Virginia, with a primary focus on twentieth-century southern history.

Mira Seo has been an assistant professor in Classical Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan since 2005. She specializes in poetry and literary criticism of the early empire, particularly the Flavian period (70-96 CE). After graduating with high honors from Swarthmore College in 1995, she completed a second BA in Greats at the University of Oxford in 1998. She received her Ph.D. in Classics from the Princeton University in 2004. Her work places literary analysis in the context of intellectual history; recent publications on Plautus, Statius, and Martial examine the discourse of money and commodification in Roman poetry. Her forthcoming book, The Character of Allusion: Reading Characterization in Latin Literature, reevaluates characterization in Roman poetry as a literary artifact of Roman approaches to the self. She has also been a Sheila Biddle Ford Foundation fellow at the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute for African and African American Research at Harvard, where she has been collaborating with Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Theirs will be the first English translation and commentary of the works of Juan Latino, a 16th century former slave, poet, and professor of Latin in Granada, Spain. Other publications treat works on antiquity in popular culture, including articles on Alias and HBO Rome.

She is currently working on a study of history teacher training in Rhode Island as part of a National History Education Clearinghouse project funded by the U.S. Department of Education.
Elise Temple is an assistant professor in the Department of Education and graduate faculty in the Department of Psychological and Brain sciences at Dartmouth College. Dr. Elise Temple's research focus is in the newly evolving field of educational neuroscience. This includes both an exploration of the development of neural mechanisms underlying cognitive and emotional processes and how these mechanisms undergo plasticity based on experience, education, disordered development or disease, and /or remediation. This overarching focus is being explored with a number of projects including 1) a newly developing program in neuro-math-ed, the exploration of brain mechanisms involved in mathematical processing - how they develop and are impacted by educational strategies, 2) normal and disordered literacy development and the effect of remediation and education, 3) the effects of stress and trauma on brain function and brain development, and 4) the development and plasticity of the brain mechanisms underlying theory of mind and the effects of culture and language on these brain mechanisms.
Dr. Temple received her BS in psychology and biology from the University of Oregon, where she worked with Michael Posner to explore the brain mechanisms important for quantity. She received her PhD in neurosciences from Stanford University Medical School where she worked with John Gabrieli studying the neural correlates of developmental dyslexia. She is currently at Dartmouth College in the Education Department where she is part of an effort to establish a new way of approaching education as a discipline. This effort has been termed Mind, Brain & Education and involves an evidence-based, multi-disciplinary approach to both teaching and research in education.
Tiffiny Tung
Ph.D., Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, 2004.
B.A., Anthropology, University of California, Santa Barbara, 1995.
Tiffiny A. Tung is an anthropological bioarchaeologist who conducts research on the biocultural impact of archaic forms of imperialism on community health, social organization, and individual lived experience. To that end, she excavates and analyzes mummies and skeletons from archaeological contexts in the Peruvian Andes. Her ongoing studies have focused on how Wari imperial structures (AD 600 – 1000) affected, and were affected by, heartland and southern hinterland groups. She has published approximately 20 articles on Wari mortuary practices, disease rates, warfare and other violence-related trauma, migration patterns, and genetic profiles as viewed through ancient mtDNA. Her work also includes a bioarchaeological perspective on embodiment in which she examines the use and symbolic meaning of the body and body parts in elaborate Wari rituals. Her forthcoming book, The Bioarchaeology of Wari Imperialism, will be published by the University Press of Florida. In line with her interests on the biocultural effects of imperialism and colonialism, she is also investigating how Spanish colonialism impacted the health status and lifeways of indigenous populations in the Andes, and recursively, how Spanish colonial policies were altered by Andean cultural practices, ideologies, and expectations. Her research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, Fulbright IIE, the Council on American Overseas Research Centers, and Vanderbilt University.
At Vanderbilt, Tung teaches a variety of classes ranging from a large introductory course on biological anthropology, to upper division lecture and laboratory courses, to an advanced graduate seminar, "Violence and Its Embodiments". She also links her research and teaching by bringing 8 to 10 American students to Peru every summer to collaborate with Peruvian scholars and gain hands-on experience in skeletal analysis and data collection, enabling students to engage in the process of hypothesis testing and knowledge construction. Tung is also committed to public outreach and gives frequent public lectures in the U.S. and Peru; she has also worked with Discovery Channel and advises other media outlets on ways of disseminating bioarchaeological findings to the general public.

Didi Dunphy: Playscape A sculpture exhibition that brings the playground into the gallery. An instructor at the University of Georgia, Dunphy calls her colorful creations — skateboards topped with colorful padding reminiscent of candy sticks, an orange seesaw, a set of bright tasseled swings — "friendly monuments." In inviting viewers to play with the work, and, in essence, become a part of the exhibit itself, Dunphy gives gallery-goers a shared and slightly goofy experience, stripping away the pomp and making the experience more accessible. March 7 (reception and talk by the artist 6-8 p.m.) through April 20 at the Millstone Gallery at COCA, 524 Trinity Avenue, University City; 314-725-6555 (www.cocastl.org). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Mon.-Fri., noon-5 p.m. Sat.-Sun. — Malcolm GayStan Strembicki: Memory Loss and Lost Library Though separate, these two series of photographs by Washington University art professor Stan Strembicki concentrate on the damage Hurricane Katrina wrought on New Orleans in 2005. In Memory Loss, Strembicki focuses his lens to re-photograph images of anonymous family members at unknown events he found in family photo albums littered around the Lower Ninth Ward. The snapshots were re-shot in situ, and many are partially obscured by water damage; it's as though the storm were actually erasing people's personal histories. In the other series, Lost Library, Strembicki focuses on the loss of cultural memory inflicted by Katrina, by photographing books from a devastated library, capturing them one last time among the leaves and dirt before they're re-absorbed into the ground. March 7 (reception 6-9 p.m.) through March 29 at Philip Slein Gallery, 1319 Washington Avenue; 314-621-4634 (www.philipsleingallery.com). Hours: 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Tue.-Sat. (MG)
Talk to Me: Voices of Kiln-Formed Glass Curator Susan Taylor Glasgow gives us an international roster of glass artists whose deeply personal work evokes the passage of time and its mutation of meaning. Kiln-formed glass is well suited to the task. Says Glasgow: "Unlike blown glass or glass work directly from the furnace, kiln forming is an indirect method of shaping, allowing for delicate details and complex imagery." The result is a collection that challenges our everyday understanding of glass and its rigidity. Here glass is formed to look like sheets of paper curling away from one another, or a group of cubes whose interchangeable sides have been inscribed with images of soldiers, dancing girls or leafless trees. Showing concurrently in the rear gallery is Eden Found, featuring the work of metalsmith John Baltrushunas. March 7 (reception 6-8 p.m.) through April 20 at the Craft Alliance Gallery, 6640 Delmar Boulevard, University City; 314-725-1177 (www.craftalliance.org). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Thu., 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun. (MG)
Deborah Aschheim: Reconsider In earlier projects Los Angeles-area sculptor Deborah Aschheim has explored the relationship between the cyborg and the surveillance state, most notably in her critically acclaimed multi-part installment Neural Architecture. More recently the artist has been exploring the nature of memory. Alzheimer's disease runs in Aschheim's family, and initially the artist embarked on her current project as a defense against forgetting. She submitted a list of her 25 favorite words to Bay Area musician Lisa Mezzacappa, who (along with other musicians) created songs for each word. Aschheim, in turn, created sculptures designed to play the songs. The idea: Our linguistic and auditory memories use separate neural pathways. By creating new sensory associations for these words, Aschheim might be able to protect them from the ravages of memory loss. The result is a series of boldly colored hanging sculptures — made of plastic tubing, LEDs, monitors and funnels — that resemble the circuitry of the human nervous system. Through May 11 at Laumeier Sculpture Park Museum Galleries, 12580 Rott Road, Sunset Hills; 314-821-1209 (www.laumeiersculpturepark.org). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue.-Fri., noon-5 p.m. Sat.-Sun. (MG)
Dan Flavin: Constructed Light Limiting his palette to mass-produced fluorescent tubes of varying lengths and colors, Dan Flavin, who died in 1996, made a career distilling these ubiquitous artifacts of bureaucratic life into their purest form. The result: a body of reserved, minimalist work that at once extracts these relics from their workaday commercial context and reformulates the sites they inhabit with their refulgent glow. As installations, many of Flavin's works are site specific, leaving the stewards of his estate with the thorny question of whether in re-creating his works they are, in effect, creating new works of art. For this show, Tiffany Bell, director of the Dan Flavin catalogue raisonné project, and Steve Morse, who worked as Flavin's chief technician for many years, have chosen several works that rely more on architectural situations than on specific sites. The result is a meditative show that both accentuates and quarrels with the natural grace of their setting. Through October 4 at the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, 3716 Washington Boulevard; 314-754-1850 (www.pulitzerarts.org). Hours: noon-5 p.m. Wed., 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Sat. (MG)
Four Aces: Large-Scale Prints from Four Universities The title just about says it all. This touring exhibition, which has made stops at universities around the nation, features works from graduate students and faculty members at Washington University, Louisiana State University, the University of Texas and the University of Wisconsin. Though the schools have presented joint touring shows for a few years now, this is the first year that printmakers from Wash. U. have been included. That's due in no small part to the presence of Carmon Colangelo, the prolific dean of the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts. Colangelo's deeply biographical prints are included in the show, as are the works of more than 40 other artists. Through March 8 at Bruno David Gallery, 3721 Washington Boulevard; 314-531-3030 (www.brunodavidgallery.com). Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Wed.-Sat. and by appointment. (MG)

"For Deposit Only" checks with no personal endorsement
If checks are presented to our bank for payment, through the exchange, and they've been endorsed only "For Deposit Only", with no personal endorsement, we've been returning them for endorsement. Should we be doing that? We're starting to get a lot of complaints from our customers.
: It seems we periodically get the question on verifying correct endorsements and returning the checks timely through the work.
When the negotiating (depositary) financial institution gets the check back, most often if it is returned for endorsement, and IF they check and find it went into the payee's account, the Return Item Department will simply stamp the back of the check with a stamp that reads, "Credited to the account of the within named payee. Prior endorsements guaranteed". It still doesn't have a personal endorsement, but unless the customer requires a personal endorsement, that stamp is sufficient.
However, let's see what happens in the Return Items Area. They'll look at a returned check and yank it for charge back if it has been returned for a "can't pay" reason - e.g., stop payment; forged; stolen; signature does not agree; account closed. If returned for nsf, or endorsement, and the check is under $100 or $200 or whatever their cutoff is, Returns will simply stamp it, ("Credited�") turn it around, and put it back through. They're taking a chance that on the second time through it will pay. It very often does.
If the check is over that cut-off amount, they'll often charge the check back to the depositary account - possibly overdrawing it, charge a fee for the charge back, even if the account isn't overdrawn, and mail the check to the depositor. That payee is now pretty ticked off. He probably complains to the maker - and that's where your complaints are coming from!
Let's go back to the original concept of checking endorsements. Why would you, the drawee bank, want to check endorsements on other than the few accounts such as insurance, medical, pension, benefit, etc. which must be checked for personal endorsement? (And if you provide that service, you probably charge extra for it. If you don't, you should!)
Under our banking laws, the negotiating bank (also known as the depositary or endorsing bank) is totally liable for the endorsement. By accepting the check and "endorsing" it themselves by putting their number on the back, they are themselves guaranteeing all prior endorsements. If the original payee's endorsement is missing, or forged, it's their problem - not yours. If your customer comes in and says the endorsement is no good, you simply go back to the endorsing bank, provide them with the original check and an affidavit attesting to the fact that the endorsement isn't any good, and they'll pay you for the check. You then give the money back to your customer. That check and claim go back to the depositary bank without entry - through the United State mail, not through the work. And the customer can come back and have you make that claim to the other bank for three years from the date the depositary bank guaranteed the check. That would be the date they stamped on the back of the check. (UCC 4-406) Now, having said that, we hear of banks that won't handle claims under $100 - nor will they send them out. They simply absorb the loss. And they probably would not honor your claim if the check is under $100. But the exposure is so limited, it isn't worth the man-power and the time you put into checking endorsements.
Signatures are another matter. Financial institutions regularly check their own customer's sig- natures on checks over a certain amount - standard of the industry would be the area you're in. For instance, in New York City they seldom check signatures on checks under $25,000. However, in Salina, Kansas the going cutoff figure is closer to $2,500. You might want to check with the banks around you and see what cutoff is in other Bookkeeping Departments in your area.

Commander (aka Elder Dragon Highlander or EDH) is a magic-the-gathering variant format which emphasises social interactions, interesting games, and creative deck building.
The primary characteristic is that decks are centered about a Legendary Creature as the Commander and the Commander's color attributes dictate what other cards may appear in the deck.
Decks must consist of 100 cards including the Commander, and duplicates are prohibited (with the exception of basic lands). It also introduces the "Command Zone", where you can choose to move your commander if it would otherwise go to exile or the graveyard. You can cast your Commander from the command zone, but the casting cost increases by 2 colorless mana each time. Commander can be played 1-on-1 but is usually played with more.

A state holiday is fitting for Dr. Hector P. Garcia
Legislature should approve measure that would preserve the memory of a great leader
When the late Dr. Hector P. Garcia said, "Education is our freedom, and freedom should be everybody's business," it carried a meaning born of all the things he had seen. For Garcia -- who witnessed the struggles of migrant workers, the misery of the poor and the ignorance that kept them there -- education was the golden key that would open up new worlds for all. His entire life was dedicated to giving the downtrodden access to that key and the education that would follow.
That's an altogether fitting reason that Garcia, who valued education so highly, should have a state holiday centered around that teachable moment. That moment, if the state holiday legislation is passed -- and it ought to be -- is that the freedoms of the nation belong to every citizen, a value that the civil rights leader upheld over a lifetime of work.
Garcia's story of fighting for bedrock American principles that benefit every American needs to be told and retold.
It would be a shame, indeed, a great loss, if the story of a Corpus Christi doctor who battled on behalf of migrant workers, on behalf of children, for the dignity of an honorable burial for a war veteran, were to be lost to future generations.
Preserving that memory is a driving force behind the legislation introduced by members of the local legislative delegation.
The House and Senate bills, filed by state Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, D-McAllen, and Reps. Abel Herrero, D-Robstown, Solomon Ortiz Jr., D-Corpus Christi, and Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, would establish a state holiday in honor of Garcia, who died in 1996. The holiday would be observed on the third Wednesday in September, traditionally the start of Hispanic Heritage Month. The measure does not call for any official closings of state agencies. A similar piece of legislation was introduced, but not passed, in the 80th Texas Legislature. This session of the legislature ought to pass a measure that would have great meaning for South Texas and for all those who hold dear the principles that Garcia fought for so courageously over the years during his great struggle for equality of opportunity.
Commemorating "Dr. Hector" with a holiday would have the effect of refreshing the memory of the man on the date, but more important, reminding us and future generations that the fruits of democracy and education that we all enjoy cannot, and should not, be taken lightly because they were so hard won. Allowing the dropout rate, for instance, to soar without an effort to hold it in rein is a detriment to the community, to be sure, but it's a travesty to the memory of a man who fought against Hispanics being consigned to dilapidated school facilities, thus upholding the right of equal access to equal education for all children. And if on such a holiday, it can be recalled that the organization he founded, the American GI Forum, fought for the inclusion of Hispanics on juries, underscoring that the responsibilities of citizenship belong to every American, then the understanding of his place in the national story would be that much clearer.
Commemorations and holidays are useful for reminding us of timeless values and the people whose lives symbolized the best of those values. Dr. Hector P. Garcia certainly is among those Americans who deserve such an official state holiday.

10 Smart Credit Card Moves
April 27, 2010
Credit cards are like any other tool; they require skill to use effectively. Follow these 10 strategies for using credit cards to craft a solid financial foundation.
1. Shop for best credit card rates.
Now that you can compare credit card offers online, it's never been easier to shop for the best credit card rates. Apply for credit cards that offer no or low annual fees, the best reward options, and the lowest interest rates if you plan to carry a balance.
2. Understand credit card terms.
Read the fine print of a credit card agreement so you know the terms before you use the card. How much will you pay for transferring a balance? How much is the interest rate on cash advances versus purchases? What is the credit limit?
3. Keep credit card balances low.
Protect your credit score by keeping balances to 30% or less of your credit limits. Maxed-out credit cards are red flags to potential lenders, indicating you have trouble managing your money.
4. Keep credit card spending within your monthly budget.
It's easy to rack up a big credit card bill if you're not careful. Avoid mindless impulse purchases by planning your spending, writing down everything you charge, and leaving credit cards at home unless you need them to make budgeted purchases.
5. Monitor your credit card account online.
Don't wait until your credit card bill arrives to see how much you spent. Sign up to check your credit card account online at any time. Not only will online monitoring help you stick to your budget, but it will also enable you to spot any unauthorized purchases and report them to your credit card issuer quickly.
6. Pay your bills on time.
Avoid late payment fees and build a solid credit score by paying your bills on time. Late payments will ding your credit rating and, if they are more than 60 days overdue, will subject you to higher interest rates.
7. Pay more than the minimum due.
Aim to pay off as much of your balance each month as you can to avoid costly interest. Adding just $10 or $20 to the minimum due will make a significant difference in how fast you pay off your bill.
8. Maintain a reasonable number of credit cards.
There's no hard and fast rule for the number of credit cards you should have, but few consumers need more than two or three. Having too many cards makes tracking expenses difficult and can lead to overspending.
9. Don't rack up unnecessary fees and interest.
Avoid getting cash advances or using "convenience checks," which both come with fees and typically carry higher interest rates than the interest rate for purchases.
10. Sign up for free transaction alert services.
Credit card companies often offer free cell phone text and email transaction alerts to let you know when there's unusual activity on your account. You can sign up for alerts that notify you when you're approaching your credit limit or when a transaction exceeds a certain dollar figure. These alerts help keep you on top of your spending and can help you detect credit card fraud early.

Manuela Muguerza García-Moreno
Dear Mr. Cohen:
I just watched your documentary and am delighted to know there are more women like me, interested in fashion and living life to its fullest.
I am ninety-three years old, live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, have travelled the world, but am Ecuadorian by origins.
I invite you to befriend me so we can stay in touch.
Cordially,Manuela Muguerza y García-Moreno
I was just about to put the finishing touches on my upcoming book, when I realized that it wouldn't be complete without a photo of Manuela. I wrote her back asking if she would allow me to take her picture if I came to visit. As soon as she replied yes I booked a ticket to Buenos Aires excited for our stylish adventures. Manuela was even more stunning and elegant in person and it was truly an honor to photograph her. I can't wait to share more from our shoot, including stories from her adventures with Dior in Paris in the 40s and 50s soon!

It's grey and gloomy today in New York City and although spring is so close we can feel it taunting our sinuses, warm weather is still so far away. We've scoured the internet for an escape, hoping to travel vicariously through some other way bigger, way better, and way more famous person. Unfortunately, all of our bikini loving celebs are hiding their perfect bikini bods so…we turned abroad and stumbled upon UK Star, Coleen Rooney and Argentinian actress, Maria Belen Rodriguez. Check out these hot bikini babes in our gallery below and vote on who you think is hotter. We've got our own opinion (cough Maria cough), but we want to hear what you think!
