At the turn of the
last century a well known journal changed its name
from The Nineteenth Century to The
Nineteenth Century -- And After thus dividing
all time between that magnificent epoch and
everything that would follow it. In the course we
will focus on five texts central to 19th century
self-definition -- central, that is, to the
definition of the self and its conjunction with
a particular period. In principle, these five
texts also serve as an introduction of the field
to people whose previous work has primarily been
before "-- And After."
Texts: William
Wordsworth, The Prelude; Alfred, Lord
Tennyson, In Memoriam; Charles Dickens,
Barnaby Rudge; George Eliot,
Middlemarch; John Stuart Mill, On
Liberty, The Subjection Of Women.
This course explores
the relationship between contemporary U.S. American
ethnic literature and theory and postcolonial
theory. Central questions are: What is the
relationship of the legacies of the U.S. colonial
past to the shaping of African American, Asian American,
Chicano,a/Latino,a and American Indian writing and
theory? How is postcolonial theorizing and
postmodern theorizing related or unrelated to U.S.
American, racialized ethnic literature? How
does U.S. Euro-American ethnic literature/immigrant
literature relate to U.S. American racialized ethnic
literatures? And the umbrella question to
these is how does American ethnic literature and
theory define citizenship, nation, and "America,"
in the context of the postmodern fascination with
appearance and non-essentialist represention on the
one hand, and on the other, the American ethnic moves
of becoming American and validating the reality of
The course focuses on
the intersections of theory and texts; therefore,
each student will select two novels from differing
traditions (I will give the parameters for selection
the first day of the course). Theoretical texts
from each U.S. tradition will be on reserve as well
as key theoretical postcolonial texts.
Required texts are: Elizabeth Cook-Lynn's Why I
Can't Read Wallace Stegner, and Other Essays: A Tribal
Voice, Ania Loomba's Colonial, Postcolonial,
and a course reader of American ethnic literary
theory that will include excerpts from Satya
Mohanty's Literary Theory and the Claims of
History and selections from Lewis Gordon's
work on Fanon. Please read Black Skin,
White Masks, and The Wretched of the Earth
before the quarter begins.
This is the second
part of the two-part sequence in Old English Language
and Literature, completion of which may serve to
fulfill a graduate language requirement. In
this seminar we will undertake a close reading of
Beowulf, the most substantial surviving
Old English poem, in the original language.
Considerable attention will be paid to the most
recent work in Beowulf studies, notably Kevin S.
Kiernan's revised edition (1996) of his controversial
study of the original manuscript; feminist criticism
on Wealtheow and other women figures in the poem;
ideological background studies of the Germanic
migrations; and archeological and more broadly
cultural approaches to the contextualization of
this enigmatic poem.
Course Texts: Klaeber,
Beowulf (3rd ed.); Alexander, Beowulf.
Examining a range of medieval literature with classical themes or
sources, this class addresses medieval ideas of history and the relation of the
medieval present to the classical past, as it addresses current debates
concerning historicist methodologies in reading medieval literature. Are
medievalists 'marching under the banner of the historical imperative', as
Lee Patterson claims? Should they be? What do poems with classical
sources or themes tell us about medieval ideas of the value of history? of
its accessibility through textual tradition? What does the medieval
perspective on classical traditions teach us about our own interest in the
past? Course readings are organized by genre or agenda: we will consider
the surfacing of classical themes in medieval romances like the Roman de
Thčbes (in translation) and Troilus and Criseyde; moralized versions of
classical story, including the Confessio Amantis and Henryson's "Orpheus
and Eurydice"; and texts that use the authority of classical literature to
revise the representation of women, namely Christine de Pizan's City of
Ladies. We will conclude with excerpts from Douglas's translation of the
Aeneid and his reflections on medieval (specifically Chaucerian) rewriting
of the Latin epic.
As a logical phrase "Classical Imitation" has the same status as "bovine
cow": a tautology, one word implying the other. A "classic," by
definition, is something imitated; classical art depends for its effect
upon the beholder's memory of the thing to which it refers. To imitate is
not copy, of course, but to allude: keeping the original in mind, one
notes the changes that make its avatar significant.
In the context of English studies, "classical" has picked up its
familiar restrictions: not any models but Greek and Roman ones. This
comes about because the poets of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries were
so often trying to bring the achievements of the Greek and Roman poets
into English. They did this sometimes by direct translation, sometimes by
allusive recall; we shall study attempts of both sorts in this class.
Examples will come from all three centuries, including Wyatt doing
Petrarch, Chapman doing Homer, Jonson dramatizing Tacitus and Sallust,
Dryden doing Plautus and translating Vergil, a variety of poets being
Horace, and Pope translating Homer. The grandest imitation of the whole
long period of grand imitations, the one which declared itself to be
soaring above its originals and which to some extent silenced them all,
was Paradise Lost. That poem is far too big for a course like this to
handle, but we'll get a glimpse of it when Pope does Milton.
This seminar offers an opportunity to consider the way the visual and verbal representations of the human
body chart the development of new ideas of the human self in English culture. We'll survey portraiture
in England from Holbein through the painters of the Elizabethan era (including miniaturists Hilliard and
Oliver), the establishment of Netherland painters in Jacobean London, the revolutionary works of Van
Dyck in the Stuart court, and the Restoration works of Sir Peter Lely and his followers. We'll consider the
survival and development of a "native tradition" (Dobson, Reilly). We'll set the portraits of men and women
(aristocrats, writers, nameless ladies, Oliver Cromwell, Henrietta Maria's dwarf, the housekeeper of
Windsor Castle, and many more) alongside literary works. Sonnets will be juxtaposed to miniatures;
Jonson's poetic celebration of Venetia Digby will be set next to Van Dyck's portraits of her. We'll pay
attention also to portraits of Donne, Jonson, and finally Pope and early 18th century ladies (this will be
"the long 17th century") and to the way these poets thematize pictures in their poems. Lots of paintings; lots
of poetry. A few of the issues: the body as sign - of?; the mythic body vs. the historical body as
"monumental"; the "classical" body vs. the "grotesque" body; the construction of identity and the emergence
of "interiority" in portraiture; the "two bodies" of the monarch; "ancillary" figures (servants, often minority; horses and dogs; friends and
family); gender and portraiture (including women painters); conventional poses and the relationship
between painter and subject; narrative and metaphorical portraiture; words/texts in portraits; self-
portraiture (Van Dyck; Artemisia Gentileschi; even Rembrandt). We'll range a bit into some later uses of Renaissance portraits,
too: Robert Browning's dramatic monologues; Cindy Sherman's self-portraits. Readings: Brilliant,
Portraiture; Wendorf, The Elements of Life. Writers studied will include Donne, Jonson, the Cavaliers,
Restoration women poets, Pope. Students will be asked to work in the Art Library as well as Suzzallo.
Requirements: class discussion; class presentation; final paper. In addition to required texts, there will be a
packet of required secondary readings.
In this course we
will study eighteenth-century literary orientalism.
While orientalism has - deservedly - received much
bad press as an unreliable discourse of representation
since Edward Said's Orientalism (1978), the last two
decades of ideology critique have perhaps flattened
appreciations of the discourse's versatility.
The publication of Antoine Galland's translation of
The One Thousand and One Nights (1704-17)
marks an important eighteenth-century departure for
what Tzvetan Todorov has called "apsychological
literature." The bulk of the course will
focus on some of the brilliant applications of
orientalism to political satire (Montesquieu's
Lettres persanes and Hawkesworth's
Almoran and Hamet); to alternative imaginations
of sexuality (Crébillon's Le Sopha, Diderot's
Les bijoux indiscrets, and Beckford's
Vathek); to moral thought (Voltaire's
Zadig, Johnson's Rasselas, and
Sheridan's History of Nourjahad); to anthropology
(Selections from Lafitau's Moeurs des sauvages américains);
and to representations of women (Montagu's
Turkish Letters, Haywood's Adventures
of Eovaai and Graffigny's Lettres d'une Peruvienne). To accommodate a variety of
students all French texts will be read in English
Since the Bible (in the King James Version) is clearly the most important
influence on Blake's works and is also, in his words, the "Great Code of
Art," it makes sense to read Blake and the Bible together. The primary
focus of the course will be on learning to read Blake as a poet; a
secondary purpose will be to read portions of the Bible and to understand
them both in traditional and in Blakean terms. More specifically, we will
try to understand the relation between the Bible and Blake's biblical
project, which he called the "Bible of Hell." This project includes at
least the Books of Urizen, Ahania, and Los, and we might also include, in
a broader version of the project, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Visions
of the Daughters of Albion, The Everlasting Gospel, and The Ghost of Abel.
We will also be reading one of Blake's three major prophetic works and his
Book of Job. From the Bible, we will read Genesis and Exodus, some of the
Prophets, Job, the Gospel of John, and Revelation. And we will consider
some Songs of Innocence and of Experience, letters, and illustrations of
the Bible. I do NOT assume that you already have some expertise on Blake
or on the Bible. There will be a term paper and a shorter paper connected
with an oral presentation.
No prerequisites. Enrollment limit - 13. Two more places available if not taken
as Relig 570.
We will begin by addressing American exoticism - an aesthetic extension of nineteenth-century Western imperialism -- as a mode of travel narrative that ostensibly explores and makes contact with foreign peoples and alternative societies, but that in works such as Melville's Typee at best reaches an equivocal horizon where a sense of otherness, in becoming largely assimilated to known cultural models, at best only dimly shows through. The second portion of the seminar will then address what Stanley Cavell terms the "uncanniness of the ordinary" as an inversion of the American exotic. Here in a stay-at-home literature, it is the "'fantastic in what human beings will accustom themselves to" once the "everyday world" is sufficiently defamiliarized that surfaces in writing by Emily Dickinson, Rebecca Harding Davis, the mature Herman Melville, and other authors. How the latent "oddness of the everyday world" is thrown into relief by American writers as a deliberate antidote to the great public appetite for spurious forms of exotica and as a window into the unsuspected interior of America will become the main focus of the second half of the course.
Readings in wide variety of nineteenth-century American authors, including Melville, Poe, Margaret Fuller, Henry Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emily Dickinson, Rebecca Harding Davis, Stephen Crane, and Henry James. Theoretical readings such as Edward Said on "Orientalism," W.J.T. Mitchell on the "landscape of imperialism," and Stanley Cavell on the "uncanniness of the ordinary" will provide a vocabulary and a context for exploring selected
The main "shift" in the title of this course is from an Asian American "literature of immigration" to a "literature of diaspora." Historically, a pronounced shift occurred in 1965 when the immigration laws of the United States changed - from a program of exclusion of Asians and a prior history denying Asians citizenship, to the elimination of national quotas restricting immigration. Engaged with the earlier history, Asian American literature of immigration and the discourses it has engendered tend to call for the inclusion of Asian American subjects into the nation, the United States. One of its tropes is a cultural break between Asian immigrants and their homelands, a break usually concerning the "Americanization" (sometimes assumed, sometimes questioned) of the individual and the family. Asian American literature of diaspora implies the scattering of peoples from Asian points of origin, and a question underlying much of this literature is one of the subject's relationship with "Asia" and one's continuing participation in a specific, current Asian culture. This is an Asian American literature where it is possible for characters to be in touch with people and pop culture in both Asia and America and in real time. We shall also be asking questions about an Asian American "literature of exile," diversity within the category called "Asian American literature," relations among ethnic literary categories, and the interpreting of literary forms and aesthetics in relation with themes and contexts. Readings will be highly selective. But in much larger measure than the required texts can possibly represent, the studies and discussions in the course will include "classics" as well as current works. Among the works and authors to be studied are, for example, stories by Sui Sin Far, Toshio Mori, and Hisaye Yamamoto; Carlos Bulosan's America Is in the Heart; Jade Snow Wong's Fifth Chinese Daughter; Monica Sone's Nisei Daughter and John Okada's No-No Boy; stories by N. V. M. Gonzalez; Louis Chu's Eat a Bowl of Tea; Bienvenido Santos his "Immigration Blues" as well as stories of the Filipino as "exile"; Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior; Joy Kogawa's Obasan; Jessica Hagedorn's Dogeaters; Frank Chin's Donald Duk; Chang-Rae Lee's Native Speaker; Shawn Wong's Homebase and American Knees; Meena Alexander's Fault Lines; and Lois-Ann Yamanaka's Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers. Our studies will also include articles of criticism, theory, and resources in such collections as Reading the Literatures of Asian America (Lim and Ling, eds.), An Interethnic Companion to Asian American Literature (Cheung, ed.), A Resource Guide to Asian American Literature (Wong and Sumida, eds.), and others.
This quarter we will investigate the prevalent belief during the years
following the Great War that civilization was in a state of crisis. Using
Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents as our starting point, we will
consider modernist texts such as Eliot's The Waste Land, Woolf's Mrs.
Dalloway, Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, and Huxley's Point Counter
Point, as well as some examples of popular culture, journalism, and
historical documents in order to explore the concept of modernism within
its larger cultural framework.
In this course we'll be exploring
questions connected with teaching close reading to undergraduates.
Some of these questions will be at least mundane (What
kind of book is best for a class like this?) and will have more or less
satisfying answers. Some other questions (just what do you think
you're doing, anyway?) will not be answered so easily. But all
of the questions, hard or easy, will be concerned with both teaching
and poetry.
Expect to write every week and to teach poems
to the rest of the class at least once every two weeks. You
will also be expected to act as intelligent critics about your classmates'
readings and teaching, and we will give particular attention to
Frost's dictum that "the ear is the true reader."
Books: Helen Ventler, Poems, Poets, Poetry;
Donald Hall, To Read a Poem.
One of the greatest
challenges feminist theory currently confronts is
that of elaborating anti-racist politics and
critical practices. In this course we will
examine recent feminist writing that treats questions
of race, racism, and anti-racism. We will
discuss the historical legacy of racism within the
feminist movement, an array of analytic methods
capable of addressing the interarticulation of racism
and sexism, and the pitfalls and possibilities of
creating feminist hermeneutics capable of keeping
pace with processes of uneven development and
globalization. The course is thoroughly
interdisciplinary; we will read creative texts
alongside more recognizably theoretical works by
feminists situated across the disciplines.
Readings will include: Lisa Lowe, Patricia Williams,
Louise Newman, Robyn Weigman, Ruth Frankenburg,
Aihwa Ong, Gayatri Spivak, Donna Haraway, Octavia
Butler, and Samuel Delany.
This course surveys systematic approaches to the analysis of
texts. We will examine a wide variety of approaches including
linguistics, conversation analysis, ethnography, critical language
study. We will explore means for describing the discourse we find
around us from literary texts to popular culture to classroom
interactions and examine how these display and (re)produce the cultures
from which they spring.
In this course, we will approach contemporary rhetorical theory by way of
genre theory, which will enable us to problematize popular notions of
rhetoric as a type of discourse or a skill. We will examine rhetoric not
only as a dimension of all discourse, but also as "the condition of our
existence"--a way of being, knowing, and acting in the world (what David
Fleming calls "anthropological rhetoric"). As such, we will be studying
rhetoric as both an action and an occasion--a habit as well as a habitat
for acting in language. We will begin the course with an introduction to
genre theory and explore its claims that genres are not just ways we
define and organize kinds of texts, but also ways we rhetorically define and organize
kinds of social actions. From there, we will grapple with such questions
as: What is rhetoric? What is a rhetorical situation (and can there be
such a thing as a non-rhetorical situation)? What is the relationship
between social and rhetorical action, and to what extent does genre shape
both? Where do genres exist? How and why do genres change? Along the way,
we will speculate on the "nature" and role of the writer, reader, text,
and context in non-literary and literary genres, as well as the relationship between power and rhetoric, in
particular, the kinds of social actions, identities, and relations that
genres rhetorically make possible. In addition to leading class
discussions, seminar participants will: 1) present a conference-style
paper which invites them to (re)consider, through the lens of genre
theory, a primary text of their choosing (for example, a work by Halliday;
Saussure; Foucault; Derrida; Irigaray; Cixous; Kuhn; Geertz; Anzaldua;
Giddens; LeFevre; Freud; Austin; Villanueva; Kent; Bolter; and yes, even
Einstein), and 2) write a final research paper or its equivalent.
English 570 is a credit/no credit course in which students sharpen their
understanding of the technical, interpersonal, and practical elements involved
in effective ESL teaching through regular observations of ESL classes, daily
ESL teaching or assistance and observation in an ESL classroom, and seminar
discussion of issues and problems related to ESL teaching. No required texts.
Only open to MAT(ESL) students.
This course provides an overview of approaches, materials and techniques
for teaching English to non-native speakers. Each of these aspects of
teaching is looked at from the basis of a few well-established principles of
second language acquisition pedagogy. The course is divided into three
main parts: (1) Principles, History and Contexts; (2) Teaching Techniques; (3)
Pragmatics. Students will be expected to participate in in-class discussions
and demonstrations, work on a group project and write at least two papers
during the course. Prerequisites: Linguistics 445 or ENGL 571.
Concentrating on your
writing and on your concerns as writers. Forty
pages of fiction and one brief paper required as is
a committed presence in the workshop. Expect to
read your classmates' work thoroughly and respond to
it with written comments. I am especially interested
in working on ways to heighten connections between
the form and content of your work. To that end, we'll
make a visit to the library's Book Arts Collection
early in the quarter. For first year MFA fiction
writers. Others with instructor's permission.
A close examination of the
students' work with an emphasis on the enhancement of
connections among sound, rhythm, and meaning and on
useful organization and revision.
The class will be a seminar for MFA students who hold teaching assistantships. The students will meet occasionally with the instructor to discuss their teaching. Time and place TBA. No texts.
This two-credit course is an introduction to research methods in the
humanities, specifically literature, using a combination of traditional
(e.g. print) and electronic resources. Students will become familiar with
the scholarly and professional literature of their field, locating,
evaluating, and using it effectively in their research. The course will
be process-based to provide students with the broadest set of information
literacy skills which can be used in other courses both within and outside
of the humanities. There will be brief weekly assignments and a final
annotated bibliography. Students will also have the option of producing
their final projects as Web pages; this training will be available as an
adjunct to the course. If you have any questions or would
like further information, please contact me via e-mail at
This course is one of the four core courses developed by the campus-wide Textual Studies Initiative.
Course credit will count toward the Textual Studies track in all participating departments and may
count toward the Critical Theory concentration in Comparative Literature. The course is open to
all graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Students completing this course will develop basic
skills of textual scholarship which will be of help for other courses.
The goal of this course is to challenge the assumption that textual theory and practice occupy a domain
separate from literary theory and criticism. Confronting this territorial fallacy, the course will show that
developments in contemporary theory have influenced, and at times radically altered, the direction of
textual studies; and conversely, that textual scholars have often anticipated and conceptualized the
speculations of theorists in intellectually provocative ways. The course will offer an introduction to the
forms and some of the specialized skills of literary scholarship: the use of literary archives; aspects of
physical bibliography and the printing and production of books; scholarly editing; manuscript-based
textual criticism; and the history and sociology of the book. It will familiarize students with major
theories of textual criticism that address the concepts of authorship, authority, and authenticity; text,
"work" and the physical book; the relationship of biographical and sociological contexts to text, and of
creators to producers of literature; and the functions of readerships. These concepts will be used to
analyze the forgery of paintings and texts from the past, and the philosophies of curation of historic
ASSIGNMENTS include a review of a critical edition and a paper which, among other choices can be:
1) a critical edition reading text (with editorial rationale) of a poem or short story, 2) an essay based on
textual criticism tracing the development of a work; 3) an essay on a topic in editorial theory (choices
include orality and literacy; authorship, copyright, ghost writing; documentary versus idealist editing and
the anti-editing school; historic house and art restoration as a form of editing; musicological editing); and
4) an essay on a topic in the History of the Book (e.g. the Bible as book; circulating libraries; print
culture versus electronic culture; creating readerships in the age of the novel).
Professor Eggert is Visiting Professor of English from the Australian Defence Force Academy in
Canberra, Australia. He is the author of numerous influential essays on editorial theory, history of the
book and the interdisciplinarity of texts, and editor of several works by D. H. Lawrence, Henry
Kingsley and Joseph Conrad. Professor Eggert is director (since 1993) of the Australian Scholarly
Editions Center at the University of South Wales, founder of the Colonial Texts Series published by the
New South Wales University Press, and General Editor of the Academy Editions of Australian
Graduate Study in English at the University of Washington

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Today's historic page is from May 26, 1921. Staten Island was to receive ten new trolley cars just in time for the summer beach season. Rails were to be installed on the Staten Island Ferryboat Mayor Gaynor and up the terminal ramps in St. George, in order to move the trolley cars across New York Harbor and onto the tracks at Richmond Terrace. Island beaches were a popular trolley destination for New York City residents looking to beat the heat.

Headlines of 'Sexton signs for Rebels' may have had Leinster and Ireland fans momentarily fearing the worst today given that Jonny's future is still up in the air but any panic would have been shortlived as it is his namesake Tom who is moving to Melbourne.
Hooker Tom won't be there in time to face the Lions on June 25 at AAMI Park but he has signed a deal to join Australia's newest franchise at the end of the year.
The 23-year-old was born in Melbourne but moved to Ireland at the age of four.
He went on to captain Ireland Schoolboys but has struggled to make a similarly strong impression in the senior game.
Sexton has played just six times for Heineken Cup holders Leinster and is a long way behind both Sean Cronin and Richardt Strauss in the province's pecking order.
Strauss' recent injury and Cronin's international involvement should see him feature at first-team level in the coming weeks but the chance to play Super XV rugby was clearly too good to turn down.
"I was definitely flattered to have a team from Super Rugby interested in me," said Sexton.
"I'm really looking forward to it. I'm obviously a little bit nervous about moving to the other side of the world again, but it's definitely very exciting.
"It was a tough decision to leave, but I'm thrilled to return home to Melbourne and play for the Rebels."

Early Civilizations in Afghanistan
From Explore Afghanistan with Afghan Wiki - Afghanistan History
The chalcolithic period beginning in 3000 B.C. in the central Asia that was the first specific civilization in the bank of Indus River and also near to the Hilmand River in the Mundigak and Sistan areas of Afghanistan and also in Anow of Uzbekistan in the Mesopotamia developed much cultural relationship between Mundegak and Mohenjodaro existed during this age. Those artefacts discovered under Miseu Casel mission from Mundegak in 1951 are similar to those artefacts excavated by British archaeologist Marshal, who excavated Mohenjodaro of Indus valley. This discovery of figurines from Mundigak and the architecture discovered from Mohenjodaro were very similar to those artefacts and monuments which were excavated later on from these two sites and belonged to later stages.

Energy, Water & Climate
Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration illustrates that buildings are responsible for almost half of the energy consumed and 38% of all GHG emissions in the United States. According to the EPA, inpatient healthcare ranks as the second largest commercial energy user after the food service industry. The US Department of Energy notes that hospital energy costs rose 56 percent from $3.89 per square foot in 2003 to $6.07 per square foot in 2008, and predicts those costs will continue to rise in the near term[i]. Hospitals are also often the largest water users in the communities they serve. Currently, about 8% of U.S. energy demand is used to treat, pump, and heat water.[ii] And a recent research letter in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) estimated the healthcare sector contributes approximately 8% of the US's greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change[iii].
The current infrastructure that delivers energy and water to hospitals relies heavily on fossil fuels – with nearly 90% of the United States' energy derived from fossil fuels that emit such toxins as mercury, arsenic and greenhouse gases, as well as particulate matter such as NOx and SOx. Consequently, these byproducts negatively affect human health through the air we breathe and the water we drink, and have been linked to premature mortality, chronic bronchitis, asthma attacks and various respiratory symptoms[iv]. Climate change has also been linked to a host of impacts on public health. A 2009 study in The Lancet suggests that climate change will have severe impacts on human health including changing patterns of disease and mortality, extreme events, food, water, shelter, and population.[v]

Getting Started on Energy, Water & Climate Change
As energy prices rise and energy security becomes an issue of increasing importance for the healthcare sector, reining in energy use will be paramount. The challenge is to reduce energy and water consumption while enhancing patient outcomesand minimizing costs. Healthcare organizations are finding they can significantly increase energy and water efficiency—and often without huge capital outlays. Benchmarking energy and water use, and even greenhouse gas emissions through programs such as EnergyStar with its Portfolio Manager tool is proving critical to having a good understanding of inefficiencies and a viable set of strategies to address those inefficiencies. And new initiatives such as the Hospital Energy Alliance and EPA's WaterSense are building out the set of tools and resources supporting hospitals in identifying viable, cost-effective strategies to reduce energy and water use.
More hospitals are also beginning to explore the use of renewable energy as a mechanism to reduce their environmental footprint—with Practice Greenhealth member Gundersen Lutheran committing to be 100% energy independent by 2014. And with the first new regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, hospitals are finding a growing need to track and assess their greenhouse gas emissions and develop mitigation strategies—ahead of the regulatory curve.

RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and More
Halle Berry takes a phone call, Ed Harris commands a sub, and Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst fall head over heels for each other, literally.
This week on home video, we've got a wacky comedy about Las Vegas magicians, an abduction thriller, and a star-crossed sci-fi romance. Then, we also have a Cold War submarine movie, a smart historical drama, and a number of Blu-ray "steelbook" rereleases. See below for the full list.
The Incredible Burt Wonderstone
On paper, the idea of casting Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi as partners in a Vegas magic act sounds like a winning proposition. Throw in Jim Carrey as a dark, Criss Angel-like street magician, Alan Arkin as a retired illusionist, and Olivia Wilde as the lovely assistant with a few tricks of her own -- as well as a brief supporting turn from the late James Gandolfini -- and it boggles the mind how The Incredible Burt Wonderstone ended up with a 37% Tomatometer. Carell plays the titular Burt, who forged a lifelong friendship with another awkward kid when the two of them discovered magic. Now, as Burt and his partner Anton (Buscemi) struggle to keep their stale Vegas act relevant, Burt's inner diva drives the two friends apart, and he must return to his roots in order to make a triumphant comeback. Burt Wonderstone has a few laughs, but most critics were hoping for something a little sharper than what it had to offer. The premise is rich with potential, but the story opts instead to play it safe, and the end result is disappointingly tame and predictable, considering the talent involved.
The Call
Director Brad Anderson has proven in the past that he's capable of crafting effective tension and smart thrills, with films like Session 9, The Machinist, and Transsiberian. Critics say his latest film, the Halle Berry-powered The Call, almost gets it right before falling apart. Jordan Turner (Halle Berry) used to field 9-1-1 calls for the LAPD, but after a tragic kidnapping gone wrong, she opted to train others instead. When another abducted teenager (Abigail Breslin) calls from the trunk of a car, Jordan instinctively jumps on the call and soon finds she may be facing someone from her past. Critics say Anderson does a fairly decent job of ratcheting up the tension, but the plot is ultimately so implausible -- especially the final act -- that it loses much of its steam. At 41% on the Tomatometer, The Call has a few nice touches from a genre veteran, but it may not hold up under scrutiny.
Upside Down
Lately, Jim Sturgess seems to be drawn to ambitious sci-fi projects like last year's epic Cloud Atlas and, more recently, Upside Down, a story about star-crossed love that takes place on twin planets that exist so close to each other that their inhabitants experience dual gravity. Here, Sturgess plays Adam, an orphan from the poorer "Down" planet who meets and falls in love with Eden (Kirsten Dunst), whose wealthier "Up" planet prohibits interaction with those from Down. When tragedy separates the young couple from each other, Adam spends his time perfecting a product that will equalize gravity between the two planets and potentially reunite him with his lost love. If the physics of it all seems a little difficult to wrap your head around, that's alright; the film is clearly less interested in how scientifically plausible its concepts are. Unfortunately, critics mostly thought that Upside Down's script left quite a bit to be desired as well; at 29% on the Tomatometer, there's plenty of visual wizardry on display here, but little else in the way of effective drama or characters to provide a compelling reason for the spectacle.
Chilean director Pablo Larrain has found great success setting his previous films (Tony Manero, Post Mortem) against the backdrop of his country's civil unrest during the Augusto Pinochet era. With his latest feature, No, Larrain delves directly into the politics of Pinochet's rule, setting the story in 1988, just before the end of the dictator's reign. Gael Garcia Bernal plays Rene, an ad man who's approached by anti-Pinochet activists to help market their campaign; with government authorities pressuring him and his family, Rene puts together a daring proposal in hopes of ousting the dictator and bringing democracy to Chile. Though it only saw a fairly limited release, No earned glowing reviews from most critics, who called it a smart, surprisingly funny, and poignant film that provides a perspective on democracy not often explored. Don't let its historical context deter you; Certified Fresh at 92%, No is a thoughtful drama that further cements Pablo Larrain's credentials as a solid filmmaker.
The tagline for Cold War submarine thriller Phantom is "You'll Never See It Coming," which is ironically appropriate since hardly anyone watched it, and most of you reading this probably forgot it even existed. Inspired by a true story (aren't they all?), Phantom stars Ed Harris as Captain Dmitri "Demi" Zubov, commander of a Soviet nuclear sub, who takes on one final top secret mission before retirement. When a shadowy KGB agent (David Duchovny) accompanies his crew and ultimately reveals the nefarious true purpose of the operation, Demi must retake control of the vessel in order to avert an all-out war. Despite a solid cast, which included supporting turns by Lance Henriksen and William Fichtner, Phantom was content to retread familiar themes from other, better films of its ilk (The Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, etc). The story lacks the necessary tension and taut narrative to make for an engaging thriller, and so it sits at a mediocre 25% on the Tomatometer.
Also available this week:
- In the Family (96%), a drama about a gay man who must make peace with his "in-laws" when his partner dies in an accident and the extended family is given custody of his son.
- The Certified Fresh A Place at the Table (89%), a documentary examining hunger issues in the US.
- Supporting Characters (86%), an indie comedy about two film editors who find their relationships tested when they're hired to recut a botched film.
- Edgar Wright's recent trio of feature film successes is among this week's Blu-ray "Steelbook" reissues: Shaun of the Dead (91%), Hot Fuzz (91%), and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World (81%).
- The Criterion Collection releases another important film: French filmmaker Claude Lanzmann's unflinching Holocaust documentary Shoah (100%), which also includes three additional films by Lanzmann, a few interviews, and other extras.
- Some of the other notable Blu-ray Steelbook releases out this week include: the Firefly movie Serenity (82%), Brian DePalma's Scarface (89%), and the Beatles' Help! (91%).

Factory original brake pads are made of metallic compounds featuring a large percentage of steel wool. As they grip steel rotors to create the friction that allows your vehicle to stop, abrasive wear is significant. Rotors wear down faster and the metal scraping from steel fibers can cause loud squealing that varies with temperature variations and weather conditions. When driven hard, metallic brake pads can generate excess heat buildup to cause the formation of grip-reducing hot spots on brake rotors. Many automakers that develop high performance models capable of high speeds will attempt to offset these disadvantages by reducing the metal content in brake pads, creating a softer material that grips better at fast speeds with less noise. However, these soft brake pads wear out faster and produce large amounts of visible black dust that soils aluminum wheels and ultimately becomes corrosive to finishes applied on them.
Power Stop offers a solution to the woes of underperforming factory brake parts with the 1-Click Brake Kit. It features brake pads made of ceramic compounds instead of traditional metallic ones, and comes complete with rotors that are cross-drilled and grooved for superior heat disbursement. Used in street performance where 200 mile-per-hour speeds quickly generate blistering heat, ceramic brake pads offer the natural ability to stay cool under the most severe conditions. When ceramic brake pads are combined with perforated rotors, heat buildup is reduced so extensively that brake fade rarely occurs due to fluid reaching boiling temperature. Ceramic brake pads are far quieter due to their higher resonant frequency undetectable by human ears, so squealing is not an issue. And finally, ceramic compounds last longer and produce finer, less obtrusive dust that does not stick to most wheel surfaces.
While the many advantages of ceramic brake pads and cross-drilled brake rotors typically come at a high cost, CARiD offers you the superior all-around performance of these parts with value-priced kits from Power Stop, a leading high-volume manufacturer of brake components since the 1990s. You don't need a high-performance vehicle to enjoy the benefits these brake kits offer, and you might find your dealer charging a similar price while giving you less. We invite you contact our knowledgeable specialists seven days a week for help with any questions you have on Power Stop brake parts at 800-505-3274.212.63Brand: PowerStop Part Number: K112 UPC: 792088525543
Founded in 1997 in Southern California, PowerStop began with the goal of bringing the benefits of superior brake components at a reasonable cost to street performance and backyard performance enthusiasts everywhere. Company management and engineers believed then, as they do today, that better brakes make driving more enjoyable and safer for any vehicle, terrain, and driving style – not just street performance. They developed a philosophy that while brake components cannot be superior without the most advanced materials, they also cannot perform in a superior fashion without matching the exact tolerances of each and every individual vehicle they are created for. Relentless development and testing led to brake pads, rotors, drum shoes, and other related components that delivered uncompromising fit and operation, and Power Stop's customer base grew exponentially from positive word of mouth. The company still has its original passion for creating the best products at the best possible prices, so when it comes to replacement brake components for your vehicle, Power Stop is the only name you need to know.Product Reviews (1)

'Right to Vote' initiative signatures submitted for verification
Petitions with more than 10,000 Thousand Oaks residents' signatures have been submitted to the Ventura County Clerk Recorder's office to qualify a proposed "right to vote" initiative for the November ballot.
The initiative says the Thousand Oaks City Council would have to call a special election immediately if a council vacancy occurs. That election would have to be held at the next regularly scheduled election, not less than 114 days from the call for the special election. The council could appoint someone to fill the vacancy until the special election.
More than 600 petitions were submitted to the Thousand Oaks City Clerk's office Monday. The petitions must have 7,279 valid signatures from verified registered voters. The number represents 10 percent of the city's total registered voters.
A raw count of the signatures done by city clerk staff members found they had 10,421 signatures, which were forwarded to the county office for verification, a process that must take place in 30 days.
That's where things become tricky.
The county has until July 24 to complete the verification, said Linda Lawrence, Thousand Oaks city clerk. The signatures then would have to be certified at a regular meeting of the Thousand Oaks City Council. However, the council will hold its last regular meeting before its summer break on July 24. Without that certification, the initiative will miss the window for getting on the Nov. 6 ballot. The deadline for qualifying is Aug. 10.
If enough signatures are verified on time, the council could put the initiative on the ballot, request an impact analysis or adopt the initiative as an ordinance.
Mic Farris, author of the initiative, said county officials told him the process likely would be fast.
"Our hope is they check the signatures much more quickly so we have the chance to get it on this November's ballot," he said.
Farris filed the initiative this spring after the council appointed Joel Price to complete the term of Councilman Dennis Gillette, who stepped down because of health problems. The term ends in November 2014. It was the second time since 2005 that the council appointed someone to fill a vacancy instead of holding a special election.
On May 11, TomGlancy left the council for health reasons. His colleagues voted to leave his seat open and fill it by special election in November. Glancy's seat already was up for election in November.

I'm thinking 10 this year and the 6 seed.
Re-re-re-re-re-regression. No running game. A mediocre offensive line. Bad pass defense. Below average run defense. Madden curse.
Oline. The Lions threw it a ton and protected Stafford for the most part. Mid 30 sacks but 660 some attempts is impressive. A few hiccups here and there especially Minnesota and Dallas game first half but the line prortected well, especially down the stretch and you saw what happened when Stafford was protected(big games). Great finish to the season. Plus they drafted Reiff.
Pass defense was top 5 statistically before the injuries to Delmas, Houston and Berry the three top pass defenders. Plus a good pass rush. We'll see if Lacey is better than Wright and what the three rookies can do. Hopefully give better depth than Alphonso Smith, Brandon McDonald and Donald Carey who all sucked. Spievey needs work but an offseason should help. Never really got that full offseason after switching positions. And the Lions pass rush should help aid the secondary again.
Madden curse we shall see on this myth. Monster year from Calvin and the Lions have a plethora of weapons besides Calvin too plus hopefully an improved running game.

The Harvard Political Review, a journal supported by the Institute of Politics, published its "Annual Report of the United States of America" for the 2013 fiscal year on Thursday, offering a detailed review and analysis of U.S. fiscal policy and its predicted impact on the nation.
The report, subtitled "What Every Citizen Should Know About the REAL State of the Nation," was produced by 10 students and published in partnership with the non-profit American Education Foundation.
It features an overview of the country's current fiscal position, as well as a detailed review of federal spending in areas such as social insurance, defense, education, and agriculture.
According to the 86-page report, without reform, Social Security beneficiaries will face a 23 percent benefit cut in 2033. The report also found that the growth of the cost for Medicare has been slowing and that many tax expenditures disproportionately benefit high-income taxpayers.
"A real challenge remains overcoming today's bitter partisanship and governmental gridlock to not only ensure progress, but also show millennials and all our citizens that Washington, D.C.—and our democratic process—can still work and make a difference," C. M. Trey Grayson '94, director of the IOP, wrote in an email.
The report was founded in 1995 by AEF's Executive Director Meredith E. Bagby '95 when she was an undergraduate at the College working for the IOP.
"Back in those days, producing the report was difficult because there was no internet and we couldn't look up the numbers," Bagby said. "But even when information is readily available today, it's still produced in a way that is not very digestible for a regular citizen."
According to Daniel E. Backman '15, the report's student executive editor and president of the Harvard Political Review, the report seeks to make information on the federal budget—often complex and scattered—accessible to the average citizen.
"The major theme of the report is that our government is fairly dysfunctional in terms of budget policy," Backman said. "There is a huge disconnect between what's useful and what's getting done, and people not aware of what's going on."
Bagby, who witnessed the growth of the report since 1995, echoes this sentiment.
"Even though it's been 20 years [since the first report], the fundamental ways in which we spend money in this country [have] not changed," Bagby said. "The most troubling trend is that there's no trend."
In a call for action, Backman wrote in the report's introduction, "Ask yourself, after reading this report, whether that budget truly represents your values. If not, do something about it."

WASHINGTON (WUSA) --As many of you saw when 9News Now's JC Hayward first announced her diagnosisthe groundswell of support she received from everyone in the community, andsupport cornerstone of a new initiative that just gotoff the ground at the Howard University Cancer Center.
It's called "Women of Promise. " The project is funded, over the next two years, by a $200,000 grant from Komen.The target group is women ages 20 to 74 with an aggressive outreach to those living in DC Wards 7 and 8.
Dr. Carla Williams, the project director, told us, "We're especially looking for those women who have not had a screening in the past two years. So they have been disconnected and we want to get them back in care."
Dr. Williams says volunteer ambassadors known as "Women of Promise" will act as Buddies to at least two of their peers. They will encourage and support them in getting a mammogram and educate them about Early Detection as a healthy choice for life.
"DC really still experiences a lot of cancer disparities, especially in breast cancer. A woman living in Ward 5 or 8 is twice as likely to die from breast cancer as a woman in Ward 3. We figured one of the best ways to reach those women is to pair them with other women they already know and trust," shared Williams.
Women of Promise hopes to reach more than 2,000 women. Having at least 70% of them actually getting a mammogram will be a clear measure of success.
"That's a really tall order. Women often times, even if we reach them with information, they don't make that transition to care. So that's really our benchmark--how many women are we actually getting into screening," said Dr. Williams.

The Rockabillies
Distributed for Columbia College Chicago Press
Elvis Presley. Pompadours. Black-and-white creeper shoes. Cuffed jeans. And a little bit of James Dean rebellion. These are just some of the ingredients of the modern Rockabilly style. Despite being generations removed from the original Rockabillies of the 1950s, today's Rockabilly subculture has adopted the look—the slick-backed hair or the Betty Paige bangs—and the sound—from Carl Perkins to Buddy Holly—of mid-twentieth century American youth culture.
In Rockabillies, photographer Jennifer Greenburg offers a visual tour of a unique global subculture and her own place within it. The individuals her photographs capture are examples of the rockabilly scene, having fully embraced the aesthetic values of teens in the 1950s. What intrigues Greenburg is that these contemporary Rockabillies choose to overlook the social and political realities of the time period they adore and emulate. The subculture today has become a hybrid of texts and images—frequently taken out of context—from an era that saw race riots, cultural upheaval, and little hope for middle-class advancement. Few, if any, members of the Rockabilly culture would actually want to live in the post-war era; rather, the imagery and ideals have been adapted to serve a wistful interpretation of that time. As well, contemporary Rockabillies are not interested in historic preservation, but its members rarely stray from established fashion archetypes.
Through her photographs, Greenburg brings light to this unusual subculture and investigates its contradictory relationship to the American past.

The Culture, Style, and Art of The Rockabillies
by Audrey Michelle Mast
by Bruce Berenson
Notes on the Plates
About the Photographer
About the Essayists
"Jennifer Greenburg's photographs transport viewers to a time and place—America in the 1950s—that largely exists in our collective imagination. Yet she has found a distinctive subculture of people which resurrects this time and makes it their reality, bringing not only the tiki prints, saddle shoes, and other visual markers into the twenty-first century, but also the social norms, taboos, and gender roles of this post-World War II era. The Rockabillies is a fascinating study of the significant impact material culture and design have on the way we live."
"As with the best documentarians, Jennifer Greenburg allows us to see her subjects and their world on their own terms. That she has also made pictures with their own beauty and power only makes her work more compelling. Part of this is accomplished by her understanding that photography and re-creation themselves are at the heart of the rockabilly experience."
"Jennifer Greenburg's carefully crafted environmental portraits perfectly reflect the attention to detail and idealism of her subjects' rockabilly lifestyle. By making photographs worthy of a glossy fashion magazine, Greenburg places the rockabilly's nostalgia in a contemporary context, revealing a tension between the traditionalism and rebelliousness of their subculture."

MADISON, Wis. – Sophomore defenseman Frankie Simonelli (Bensenville, Ill.) was honored for the first time in his career by the Western Collegiate Hockey Association as WCHA Co-Defensive Player of the Week after helping the Badgers to a two-game conference road sweeps last weekend.Simonelli, a 5-10, 195-pound sophomore was a key player in Wisconsin's first road sweep of the season, collecting a goal and two assists for three points while going +4 as the Badgers won twice over WCHA rival Bemidji State by 4-2 scores. Last Friday, Simonelli scored his fifth goal of the season, tying the game at 1-1 early in the second period, and took three shots in the game. On Saturday, Simonelli was again +2, collecting two assists with the primary helper on UW's second goal, which tied the game at 2-2. He also helped set up UW's fourth goal, an empty-net tally, and took two shots in the game.
Simonelli shared this week's honor with Minnesota defenseman Nate Schmidt. Also nominated was defenseman Joey LaLeggia of Denver.
