Large metropolitan areas and unemployment in June 2009
July 30, 2009
Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Michigan, reported the highest unemployment rate in June, 17.1 percent.
The large areas with the next highest rates were Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, California, 13.7 percent; Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, North Carolina-South Carolina, 12.4 percent; Las Vegas-Paradise, Nevada, 12.3 percent; and Providence-Fall River-Warwick, Rhode Island, 12.1 percent. Eighteen additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or more.
The large areas with the lowest jobless rates in June were Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 6.0 percent; Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Virginia-Maryland-West Virginia, 6.6 percent; and San Antonio, Texas, 6.9 percent.
All 49 large areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases of at least 2.0 percentage points. Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Michigan, had the largest jobless rate increase from a year earlier (+8.1 percentage points). The areas with the next largest rate increase were Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, Oregon-Washington (+6.3 percentage points), Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, North Carolina-South Carolina (+6.1 points), and Las Vegas-Paradise, Nevada (+6.0 points). Four additional large areas recorded rate increases of 5.0 percentage points or more.

text: PJ 5pts No. A car the requires premium would not set me off. My current car, a 2007 Saab 9-3 2.0T uses premium. Some say that it can run fine on regular but the car has never seen regular gas in its lifetime and there's no point in switching over to it now with 120K on it. The price difference really isn't that much, like $2 a tank. People pay more for a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Lowe's will not renew its naming rights
of Lowe's Motor Speedway when its contract expires after this
Lowe's cited changing marketing strategies Thursday as the reason it won't return in 2010. The home improvement chain signed as sponsor of then-Charlotte Motor Speedway in 1999 in the first major naming rights deal of a NASCAR track.
The Sports Business Journal reported last week that Lowe's would not come back in 2010, but Speedway Motorsports Inc. president Marcus Smith insisted as late as Wednesday that the talks were continuing on a new deal.
Lowe's will continue its primary sponsorship of three-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson.

Although closed at present, Merus' inky/purple-colored 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon displays enormous power and richness. It is a massive, blockbuster-styled effort possessing black fruits, plenty of spicy oak, hints of licorice and graphite, and mouth-staining tannins and extract in the finish. Forget it for 4-5 years, and drink it over the following 20-25.Drink Dates: 2012-2037

($135; blended with 3% malbec and 2% petit verdot) Saturated ruby. Dusty black raspberry, blackberry, spices and licorice pastille on the nose, with hints of meat, dark chocolate and eucalyptus. Less sweet and harmonious than the young 2007 sample, showing a rather tightly wound quality and a medicinal aspect to its dark fruit flavors. Finishes with serious, even somewhat tough tannins. In a disjointed stage now and in need of patience.Author: Stephen Tanzer

His father had a bath house in Voynilov. Women went Friday night for a bath. Men went Friday night to schwitz. It was across the street from his father's house. The baba ran the bath house. Windows were broken and the wind came in. They made a hot fire and threw water on the stones to make steam. One side of the bath was cold water, the other side was hot. They heated with wood. In the bath house was a michvah. They polished their boots and left them in the house, ran across the street to the bath house in their bare feet even in the snow. They charged two groshen to take a bath. You bought wood and besom (small switches) for the sauna. The wood measured 36" to put in the big oven. Big stones got red hot.
His family had a cow and their own chickens. They fed a goose to have fat for holidays and shabbas. They made butter and butter milk. On Friday, they made bread for a week. They rubbed the bread with garlic and put it on the stove and toasted it a little. They had a garden. They grew potatoes, corn and zibila. They had berry bushes and grew prunes, peaches and apples. They had enough to eat. The best fresh eggs, cheese and bread. They had a wood stove. They made their own matzos. They made matzos for the neighbors, too. He had to work four or five weeks before Passover, sometimes six weeks, to make matzos for the neighbors. He started work about 5 a.m. They had 12 girls who worked for them. They rolled the matzos out flat and used a redel (wheel) from a clock to make the lines.
In the old country, he made coats from lamb. They wore the fur inside. He also made hats. If you were a big man in temple, you had a fur hat and a cane.
Some people had skis made from wood. Others had sleds used on the hill.
One Saturday at 10:00 a.m., there was a mobilization. Tey blew trumpets to call up the reserves. Everyone was in the reserve up to a certain age. Even his father-in-law, who was an old man, was taken into the army too, to clean floors. Jacob served in the Austrian Army, three years in the infantry in the town of Stryj, then six months in the cavalry in the town of Pshemis(sp?).

Christian Bale is out and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in as the new face of Batman, according to rumors. It was suggested that Gordon-Levitt's character from the last Dark Knight film was Robin, but a new report suggests that he could be Batman.
According to HitFix's anonymous source, Gordon-Levitt is set to play Batman in the new Justice League movie. The film is reportedly going to be released 2015.
It is no secret Christian Bale stated he would not return as Batman and considering the ending of the last Dark Knight, Bruce Wayne, Bale's character has hung up the superhero coat for good. So, Wayne has left a vacuum in Gotham for a new superhero to emerge.
According to Time Entertainment, it is official that Nolan is done.
Moreover, that Justice League seems to be Warner Bros. counter-part to Marvel's Avengers franchise. Considering that Warner Bros. also owns the DC Comics characters, including Batman, the studio can do as it pleases. If it wants a new face to Batman, they can create such a situation. It seems that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is that new face.

Tax Preparation Assistance
As tax time approaches, it is important to know that free resources are available to help you help your older family member with his or her tax preparations. There are a variety of programs. Many use volunteers who have been trained by federal and state tax officials. There are also phone numbers to call and websites that can be accessed.
The Internal Revenue Service sponsors volunteer assistance programs and offers help to taxpayers in many of its offices and other community locations.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (or VITA), involves IRS–trained volunteers who provide free tax assistance at community locations to individuals who need assistance with basic income tax return preparation. VITA is for those whom paid professional assistance may be out of reach, those who are non–English speaking, persons with disabilities, those with a low to fixed income, the elderly, and other individuals with special needs.
Many local aging agencies coordinate the VITA program. However, this program is usually only available during the few months of "tax season". To locate your local aging agency, contact your Area Agency on Aging. Contact the local agency for times and locations. Many of the programs are held in local Senior Centers.
Another program, Tax Counseling for the Elderly (or TCE), is designed primarily for persons 60 years or older, particularly those who are confined to their residences or retirement communities. IRS–trained volunteers from non–profit organizations provide free tax counseling and basic income tax return preparation to senior citizens. Volunteers travel to taxpayers' homes, if they are unable to come to a local TCE site.
Under a cooperative agreement with the IRS as part of this program, AARP has operated a Tax-Aide program since 1968. The program is available February 1 - April 15 but, during the off-season, the program continues to provide on-line tax counseling.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program
Free telephone assistance is available from the IRS by calling 1–800–829–1040. When calling this number, you may ask questions to help prepare the return, or ask about a notice that has been received. In certain areas, the IRS has local offices that you and/or your older family member may visit to receive assistance.
If you plan to take advantage of any of the volunteer assistance programs, be sure to bring social security cards for your family member and all his or her exemptions, and the current year's tax package and/or label; all forms, W–2's and 1099's; information for other income; information for all deductions/credits; and a copy of last year's tax return.
For information on VITA or TCE locations and times, or to volunteer for any of these programs, visit your local IRS office, call 1–800–829–1040, or contact your local Council or Department on Aging (contact your Area Agency on Aging for local contact information).

Interesting read from the San Francisco Chronicle today about the age gaps in the electorate. While the piece talks about the different perspective on age, it digs a little deeper and brings up the issue of socioeconomic status. According to The Numbers from ABC News, it appears that how much you make is a bigger factor than how many years you've got. This is a valid point, especially when you consider that key issues like health care and financial security are both connected to your finances. Regardless of age, everyone is concerned about skyrocketing health care cost, but especially those who are struggling the most financially. As for financial security, it's no different – those who are the most concerned are those who feel least secure today.

Nature and Commercial Culture - Enlightenment/Romantic/Victorian
TTh 11:30-1:20
It can be said that late-18th and 19th C. British culture confirmed its creative powers in mutuality
with nature, and that it set those powers to work in the commerce, industry, and citybuilding that
threatened nature and the human sense of connection to it. The course begins with the Enlightenment
thought of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations and the commercial/industrial/city buildup of the
late 18th C. We consider further developments in political economy in this period through a report
on Thomas Malthus' Essay on the Principle of Population. A report on Edmund Burke's On the Sublime
and Beautiful in nature prepares the way from the 18th C. to Romanticism. We then read William
Wordsworth's The Prelude for depictions of Romantic relations to nature and the city. Thomas
Carlyle's Sartor Resartus marks a Romantic-Victorian transition. Creativity as imaginative response
to nature becomes a work ethic of productivity-in industry, commerce, and cities. Following a report
on Carlyle's "Captains of Industry" comes Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South. This sets off the
north of industry, commerce, and city from the south of the country, and we also look at the gendering
of this difference. We consider selections from Charles Darwin's Origin of Species and Darwin's debt
to Malthus for the germ of "natural selection." Ideas of nature and economics converge. We see
different responses of disquiet in Alfred Tennyson's "In Memoriam" (selections), John Ruskin's "The
Nature of Gothic" (by report), short poems by Matthew Arnold and selections from Culture and Anarchy.
The course culminates with Our Mutual Friend, Dickens' great novel of the city as nature, a place of
pollution and recycling, predation and mutuality, destruction, production, and creation. If time
allows, we will sample George Gissing's In the Year of Jubilee for mixed attitudes towards nature,
city, commerce, and industry at the end of the Victorian period.
Tracing developments across Enlightenment, Romantic, and Victorian writings often studied separately,
the course emphasizes primary texts and correlations between them. "Historical briefs" will provide
historical context, and Raymond Williams' The Country and the City offers critical guidance, along
with historical perspective. We will take note of recent critical interests in economics and
literature and in ecocriticism. These, too, are typically pursued separately, but combine here.
The course can serve students in different ways: as introduction and overview for new students or
those seeking a secondary field; as opportunity for field consolidation for those with a primary
Requirements: On-going seminar contribution, including a report or historical brief and leading
discussion (25%); response paper on a single text or set of short texts (7-8 pp.) (25 %); longer paper
building on the shorter one, more synthesizing and treating at least 2 authors (10-12 pp.) (50%).
Critical Conversations in Literary Studies
How might the thinking about literary and cultural texts and sites you're doing enter larger
"critical conversations"? This course is not a survey of contemporary theory, but we will read some
work in cultural and literary thought and consider what it might mean to think about literature and
culture in theoretical ways. We will also take up more pragmatic issues of writing and publishing
scholarly essays, and read widely in current journals to see what kinds of conversations are happening
at the moment. The course is designed for students new or nearly new to contemporary theory who
wish to know more about widening the contexts for their own literary and cultural interests. Here
are some (random) current terms making their way through the halls of Padelford and elsewhere:
trans-many things, Things, space, national memory, the everyday, affect, surveillance, consumerism,
the state, psychic life. How do they function in our professional discourses, OR what's it all
about, anyway? The course can't quite answer that question, but it will try to delineate some
conversations so that those beginning to think through their professional interests can start to
Literary Criticism: Medieval & Renaissance
This class will survey major theoretical positions taken towards literature in the western tradition from medieval times through the Enlightenment. Typically less studied than their classical antecedents or their romantic followers, the figures we'll read in this class fought battles again and again to clear space for imaginative fictions. First appropriating, then attacking, then defending earlier arguments about the cultural role of literary "making," these texts provide both links to our distant past, and the theoretical settings for our disputatious present. We will be reading at least a dozen different figures; chief among them will be Augustine, Sidney, Spenser, Boileau, Burke and Hume.
Some of you will have taken English 507; that's obviously a good thing. If you haven't, however, don't
worry. Though nothing we read in this course will make full sense without your knowing something about
Aristotle, Plato and Horace, we'll spend our first sessions reviewing (viewing?!) the Poetics,
the Ion, parts of the Republic, and the Art of Poetry. If you don't already know
those texts, you might take an early look at them (they are all in Adams) before the quarter begins.
Finally, this class will also ask you to think about teaching texts like this to undergraduates. What do students typically find difficult in these texts? What strategies can help them see how powerfully these texts have affected the world they live in? Who are the authors you'd absolutely have to include in such a course, and how many would they be? In most undergraduate teaching, "less" truly is "more"; but what exactly is "less" here? And how can we be sure it's "more"? In short, we'll be talking about the difficulties new readers have with complex theoretical texts, and about how best to develop approaches that will make their learning both deep and enjoyable.

Knott and David C. Fowler (Johns Hopkins University Press). This edition, designed to introduce the work
to readers coming to the poem for the first or second time, has been out of print for a number of years
and has not been superseded any more recent editions.
Collaboratively working to prepare an updated, hypertext version of this useful edition, we will examine
a number of textual, pedagogical, linguistic, historical, and literary issues as we work to produce the
text, introductory materials, textual and explanatory notes, glossary, and other components for a student
edition of this fascinating work.
We will use the seminar to provide occasions for individuals to investigate and report on the developing
world of digital editions, on Internet sites (like the Piers Plowman Electronic Archive), on the
photographic reproductions of A Text manuscripts (in the David Fowler archives in Suzzallo/Allen Library),
and on other pertinent matters. We will then incorporate what we learn from those investigations as we
refine the format and presentation of the edition.
Romantic Aesthetics: The Beautiful, the Picturesque & the Sublime (w/Comp Lit 548)
18th- and 19-century England witnessed the unprecedented popularity of the aesthetics of the sublime in its two primary incarnations, the Longinian and the Burkean sublime, as well as the emergence of the counter-aesthetics of the picturesque which introduced the following important changes in sensibility and cultural practices: 1) an investment
in the contemplation of landscape as a complex and meaningful activity requiring expertise in art, especially Dutch and Roman landscape painters; 2) a preference for nature in its rough, varied and intricate forms that led to a change in British garden design from the formal garden to natural-looking extensive gardens that imitated the look of a wild, uncultivated stretch of land; 3) the preference for Gothic over Greco-Roman architecture and for landscape painting over the traditional
genres of historical and portrait painting; 4) the paradoxical denial and assertion of the equivalence between landscape and property; and 5) the obsession with ruins and dispossessed people, such as gypsies, beggars and rural workers, who are represented as figures of narcissistic self-sufficiency. In this course we will be especially interested in studying the interaction between the aesthetics of the sublime, with its focus on transcendence, the monumental, the terrifying and the heroic, and the aesthetics of the picturesque, with its preference for aged over young people, and destitutes over heroes.
These features of the picturesque are expressive of the fear of monumentality, of violence and of sacrifice in this period of vast political and social upheaval (The French Revolution) and economic change (the agrarian revolution which changed the face of the English countryside). We will explore the political implications of various aesthetic theories, wondering, for example, why Richard Payne Knight ends a work advocating the new ethos of the picturesque in landscape gardening with a defence against the charge that his "system of rural embellishment resembles the Democratic tyranny of France."
Readings for the course include selections from treatises on the picturesque (by William Gilpin, Uvedale Price, and Richard Payne Knight) and on the sublime (Longinus, Edmund Burke, Immanuel Kant, Friedrich Schiller, and Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel), as well as representative works by British Romantic writers (Lord Byron, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, John
Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley and William Wordsworth). We will devote approximately two weeks to slide presentations of landscape paintings representing the 17 through the 19th century Dutch, Italian, German and English traditions, and will close with a brief look at the post-modern sublime, with readings from Slavoj Zizek, Philippe Lacou-Labarthe and Jean-Francois Lyotard.
19th Century African-American Literature
This seminar converges at three critical points on the continuum of African American literary study:
chattel slavery in the US before and after Reconstruction, literacy and learning issues for 19th- and
20th-century African Americans, and spoken and written forms of black (vernacular) discourses. The
principal questions of the course ask: What was slavery as it was represented and reconstructed by
black persons who experienced it? Was it possible for (ex-)slaves ever, in William Andrews' phrase, "to
tell a free story"? Can their descendants yet? Who is the author of a dictated slave narrative? What
were the rhetorical situations of enslaved people who dictated narratives to amanuenses whose social
locations often differed from their own in terms of race, gender, and caste? What complexities of race,
gender, power, and rhetoric emerge in the study of dictated slave narratives? What interconnections
existed, and which persist, between race/color, wealth, rhetoric, dominance, and literacy? The primacy
of the trope of slaves' quest for literacy notwithstanding, were there divergent attitudes among
enslaved peoples about English language acquisition and proficiency, about education (aka edumacation)
and "book learning," about the (white, elite) academy? To address these questions we will read dictated
and self-authored slave narratives, social and political history, racial identity formation theory, and
theories of epistemology and pedagogy. Texts will include The Confessions of Nat Turner,
Behind the Scenes, Remembering Slavery, Jim Crow's Children: The Broken Promise of the
Brown Decision, and Why are All the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?
Trauma and Testimony
In 1992 Shoshana Felman declared the twentieth-century to be a "post-traumatic century," one in which
previously unthinkable "historical catastrophes" fundamentally changed the relationship between
narrative and history. According to Felman and other theorists of trauma, the present is marked by a
catastrophic sense of its own loss, resulting in a type of historical bereavement best understood as
"trauma" and best represented in the vanguard aesthetic form "testimony." In this course we will
evaluate such claims about the rise of traumatic testimony as the formal expression of an era, asking
how diverse political, economic, and social discourses of violence are translated in the language of
trauma. In particular, we will ask how implicit assumptions about the nation shape such allegedly
non-national or global accounts of trauma and testimony. What is the relationship between traumatic
testimony and nationalist history? In what ways is testimony specific to a historical, geographic, or
economic moment? How do counter-discourses of violence and modernity, such as those offered by
post-colonial, anti-racist, or queer studies, transform such a notion of trauma and testimony? This
seminar will provide an introduction to a theoretical field as well as specific readings in
testimonial literature of the late twentieth century United States. Student research papers can focus
in any geographic or historical area.
Postmodern Fiction: A Symposium
TTh 4:30-6:20
This class assesses the historical, pedagogical, economic, and aesthetic meaning and value of the
vexed literary category "postmodern fiction." We will begin with Samuel Beckett's Molloy.
Afterwards, we will be reading three novels--A.S. Byatt's Possession, Samuel Delany's Dhalgren,
and Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow --in tandem with three of the most influential 1980s critics
of postmodern fiction--Fredric Jameson, Brian McHale, and Linda Hutcheon. There will also be short,
ancillary reading by such figures as Perry Anderson, David Antin, Terry Eagleton, Suzi Gablik,
Ihab Hassan, and Francois Lyotard.
Allegory (w/CLit 502)
Allegory: from the Greek all�goria (f. allos, other, + agoreuein, to speak in the assembly). Originally, the term referred to the
practice of speaking publicly with a private meaning-an inherently political act. Rhetorical handbooks from antiquity onwards tell us that it refers, more generally, to the practice of saying one thing and meaning another. This course will offer an introduction to the theory and practice of allegory from antiquity to the present, with a focus on the transformations in its
Issues to be considered include the origins of allegorical theory in philosophical commentary and Biblical hermeneutics; the application of scriptural interpretive techniques to secular literature and the development of allegorical poetics; the
Enlightenment definition of allegory as a literary genre, with the consequent (and continuing) debate about whether Paradise Lost is or contains allegory; and the (supposed) Romantic reaction against allegory (esp. as manifested in the opposition of allegory to the symbol), which has conditioned most subsequent theorizing on the topic, including attempts to distinguish allegory from irony. A persistent theme will be the difficulty of accounting adequately for allegorical practice, whether interpretive or compositional, either rhetorically or generically. We might conclude by looking at allegory in film or television, and consider whether it's still a viable mode of expression.
Readings will include Porphyry, On the Cave of the Nymphs; Augustine, selections from On Christian Teaching; Dante,
"Epistle to Can Grande" and selections from The Divine Comedy; Spenser, "Letter to Raleigh" and selections from The
Faerie Queene; selections from eighteenth-century critics, including Lord Kames and Samuel Johnson; selections from
Romantic critics, including Coleridge and A.W. Schlegel; selections from twentieth-century (and twenty-first century) critics,
including Walter Benjamin, Paul de Man, Hazard Adams, Stanley Fish, Gordon Teskey, and Catherine Gemelli Martin. Our
point of departure will be Swift's first and greatest satire, A Tale of a Tub, which applies an elaborate external allegorical
commentary to its own transparently allegorical narrative.
Swift, A Tale of a Tub (Oxford World's Classics, 1986)
Spenser, The Faerie Queene (Penguin, 1988; or any other edition that includes the "Letter to Raleigh," the best being
A.C. Hamilton's heavily annotated but expensive Longman edition, 1977, revised 2001).
Milton, Paradise Lost (any edition)
The remaining texts will be made available online or in photocopy.
Cultural Studies: Passing, Policing and the Economy of Sex (w/CL 535)
The African-American who crosses or resides on the color line, the woman who works and lives as a man, the homosexual who seems to be heterosexual, the "born criminal" whose character cannot be read, the "low born" mimic of the "well-bred," the person who is transgendered, and the alien who plays at being a "true American" make up a family of passing figures. Each of them was familiar to late 19th and early 20th century American audiences, and their descendants are with us yet.
This seminar is about passing--primarily as a different race, class, sexuality, or gender. It is equally about individual and national anxieties which reports of passing and related practices of surveillance beget. One set of practices cites cultural minorities as sources of criminality, disorder, degeneracy and/or deviance; a second examines bodies, gestures, tastes, etc. for signs that differentiate "them" from "us"; a third pinpoints sexuality as the locus of (moral) health and disease; a fourth policing practice transmits the message that corporeal differences are slippery and difficult for untrained eyes to detect, warning that an unremarkable appearance may disguise an "abnormal" appetite, "degenerate" character or "deadly" threat. Accordingly, this seminar is equally about ongoing efforts to teach mainstream Americans how to read. No doubt, the aim of this reading project is to render human differences visible, to manage (i.e., discipline, subjugate, or otherwise control) cultural "others" and thus to assure "normal" Americans they are safe and the reproduction of their kin(d) is assured. Nonetheless, because alterity may not be apparent, and because passing renders every identity uncertain, the very act of reading potentially triggers a more intimate form of anxiety, raising the question: am I really the character I seem? Our study of passing figures and policing strategies draws on a range of cultural practices (e.g., fiction, law, bioscience, sexology, criminology, sociology, film, and other popular media) some of which are frankly regulatory, whereas others challenge the normative. and other popular media. The investigation focuses on three historical moments (i.e., late-19th and early 20th century, the cold war, and the present); and it aims to identify continuities and departures in the production and policing of normal and deviant Americans.
Texts will include: Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson; Nella Larsen, Passing, and a large course packet.
Current Rhetorical Theory
We will work through key terms and polarities that position rhetoric as a field of inquiry (e.g.
certain/probable, thinking/doing, reason/emotion, content/expression, words/images). One focal
question will be how rhetorical theory can be extended to serve as a rhetoric of electronic text
(visual rhetoric, rhetoric of hypertext).
Written work will be on paper (unless the writer chooses to go electronic) and will involve critically
analyzing some of the issues and positions on these points, ultimately taking one's own position.

The Ethnographic Study of Spoken and Written Discourse
The purpose of this course is to explore the ways in which ethnography has been used to do research
on and problematize our notions of orality and literacy. After we review several articles describing
the key issues that have led to the reconceptualization of the relationship between orality and
literacy as autonomous, continuous, and dialectical entities, we will engage in an extended
discussion of their reformulation by The New London Group as multiliteracies and The New Literacy
Studies Group as situated practices. After that, we will examine several articles that describe the
methodology used in and the theory that informs current ethnographic research. During the second
half of the quarter, we will read Guerra's Close to Home (1998) and Cushman's The Struggle and the
Tools (1998), two recent ethnographic studies that investigate the uses of oral and written language
among Mexican immigrants and African Americans, respectively. In addition to keeping a research
journal and writing a midterm essay, each student will develop a final paper based on a pilot study
that examines some aspect of spoken and/or written discourse in an area of personal interest.
Practicum in TESL
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. Open only to MAT(ESL) students.
Methods and Materials in TESL
This course will explore the role of English language teachers in a 'Post-Methodological Era'. The focus will be on examining the most salient aspects of language learner behavior and determining a local pedagogy for different learning environments. The course will include an historical overview of language teaching methodologies and there will
also be a strong emphasis on how to manage learning processes, including selecting, adapting and creating pedagogical materials. The course motto will be "The Subordination of Teaching to Learning."
Research in Second Language Acquisition
TTh 10:30-12:20
This course is intended to improve your understanding of the research process, to familiarize you with recent research in second language acquisition, and to provide basic, practical skills in designing, carrying out, and reporting on a research project. The course will focus on a variety of research models, including survey research, interaction analysis, case study, experimental research, and ethnography. The main work of the quarter involves conducting an original research project. In addition, you will read and critique selected research in second language acquisition.
Advanced Fiction Workshop
Advanced Poetry Workshop
Caveat: English 586 this winter term will be taught as a "Forms Workshop." I plan to review the elements of poetic form, including and particularly the technics of meter. The class will involve lecture, assigned problems, student experiments and presentations, and open workshop construed as a laboratory for the testing of our thoughts. The objectives are 1: by
exercise to equip participants with some technical tools, and 2: through conversation to encourage the development of a general account of these mysteries, with consideration of their practical relevance for a journeyman writer.
Textual Studies: Printed Texts (w/Hum 522A and C Lit 596C)
One of the four required core courses in the Graduate Textual Studies Program, this seminar offers an introduction to bibliographical resources for the study of printing as an art and as a means of textual transmission, as well as a practical view of hand and machine press printing; and introductory surveys of such topics as analytical and descriptive bibliography; the transmission of texts, the history of the book and book production, and current textual theories. The seminar also provides practical experience in editing printed texts. There are no prerequisite courses. We begin at the beginning. Guest sessions will be conducted by Sandra Kroupa (UW Rare Books), Faye Christenberry (UW Library), John De Nure (Curator, Thorniley Collection of Printing Presses and Type), Tom Lockwood (UW editor, Fielding's plays), Dick Dunn (UW editor, Bronte's Wuthering Heights), and Peter Shillingsburg (U North Texas theorist and practitioner, printed and electronic texts).
Independent Study: The Structure of the Lyric: a micro-seminar with Helen Vendler
Jan 13, 14, 15, 17 2:00-4:00
In conjunction with her visit to Seattle to deliver the Solomon Katz Lecture in the Humanities, distinguished critic Helen Vendler will conduct a micro-seminar. The course will include the discussion of essays by poets (including Wordsworth, Eliot, Keats & Heany) and of poems with complex or invisible structures. Work for the course is limited to readings and discussion. A reading packet for the course will be available in Padelford A101 during the first week of winter quarter. Two credits of English 600 (CR/NC) are available for Graduates participating in this class. Permission forms for graduate students are available in A105 Padelford. Undergraduate students should enroll in English 499 in undergrad advising, A2B Padelford.
Helen Vendler is currently a University Professor at Harvard University, where she has taught since 1980. Professor Vendler has published 8 volumes of reviews and essays, including books on the poetry of Wallace Stevens, George Herbert, John Keats, Williams Shakespeare, and Seamus Heany, as well as a textbook. She has edited the Harvard Book of Contemporary American Poetry, and from 1968 has written on contemporary poetry for The New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, and the London Review of Books.

iPad Piano from ION Audio, Yes Another One, Promises to Show You How To Dougie the Ivories
Apparently Ion Audio's first iPad compatible piano wasn't the hit they expected to be, that or it just wasn't damn portable enough to go along with the diminutive size of the iPad. And hence why the company has announced the Piano Apprentice. It's effectively a shrunken down version of the aforementioned product, however it includes a set of keys that light up to show you which ivories to tickle during your lesson. This 25 key beast also includes a free app, which has Scott Houston showing you the ropes as it coordinates with the illuminated keyboard. Stereo speakers, AA battery power (plugin power as well) and core MIDI compliant round out the feature set.
Expect the Ion Audio Piano Apprentice to arrive this September for about $100.

LARGE-scale exports of Australian Merino semen and embryos could soon be flowing to Uruguay, mirroring the volume of dairy genetics that regularly cross into Australia from North America.
That's the word from Pennsylvania-based Ag-Link genetics buyer Pablo Echevarria, who has been contracted by the Uruguayan government to seek sheep genetics to bolster its production capacity.
The trade of Merino genetics to the South American country could ignite a new market for Australian Merino producers into a country that has had its sheep flock halve from 21 million head to below 10 million in recent years.
"The new Uruguayan government is adamant that raising its agricultural production capacity – and specifically sheep and dairy – is key to bringing stability to its farming sector," Mr Echevarria told Rural Press.
He said valuable Uruguayan grazing land had been decimated by soybean plantations and deforestation, but the new President Jose "Pepe" Mujica had made it a goal to boost his countries agricultural sector – its number one export industry - when he was elected in November last year.
Uruguay would attempt to emulate Australia's more successful Merino operations, which had pushed the boundaries on its wool and meat capacity in recent years, Mr Echevarria said.
"Everyone in the world' knows that like the best Holstein genetics are in the United States and Canada, the best Merino genetics are in Australia," he said.
The Uruguay agriculture sector contributed 9.8 per cent to the nation's GDP in 2009, compared to the industry sector at 32.8pc and services at 57.4pc.
Trade would be based on a long-term basis in order to build capacity in Uruguay, he added.
The comments came as Mr Echevarria spent a day travelling around Merino studs in the Boorowa, Yass and Harden region and two days at the Great Southern Supreme sheep sale at Canberra with Landmark sheep consultant Stuart Hodgson inspecting Merino sheep and speaking with stud principals.
Mr Echevarria's interest in buying Australian Merino genetics is one of a few to have taken place during the past six years.
Mr Hodgson said the value Australia's top Merino genetics could deliver to farmers had opened small trade opportunities with Argentina, Chile, China and Kazakhstan.
"The potential these countries are looking for is to build rural wealth," Mr Hodgson said.
Winyar principal Alan Dawson, Canowindra, NSW, who has in the past sold Merino genetics to Argentina, said Merino producers should look at export markets as a positive step for the wool industry rather than added competition.
"I firmly believe the world may be reaching a point of critical mass in terms of supply of good quality wool," Mr Dawson said.
"We need to have continual supply of quality wool for processors and having other countries producing it will assist."
But stud Merino producers looking to snare a lucrative contract may have to bide their time.
Mr Echevarria said Ag-Link would not be making any purchases until it had the final approval from the Uruguayan government.
The visit comes as Meat and livestock Australia last week report Uruguayan sheep meat exports during 2009 jumped 37pc year-on-year to 25,478 tonnes (shipped weight), its highest volume on record.
Uruguay's main export market was the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), which accounted for 39pc of total shipments.
Brazil was the second largest market, taking 24pc of the total, followed by China at 8pc.
Uruguay's increase in exports also coincided with an 18pc lift in slaughter, which reached 2.1 million head in 2009 (INAC).

"Get ready to joy puke your face off."
Promising that the game's 87 bazillion guns "just got bazilliondier", a new Borderlands 2 trailer has dropped revealing the game's release date–September 18 in North America and September 21 internationally.
There are other interesting bits in the trailer, but I'll not spoil if you're planning on going into B2 clean. However, I will say I was pleasantly surprised at the improved look of the game's graphics, art and apparent framerate. While Borderlands was nice enough to look at, Borderlands 2 is kind of gorgeous.
Some pre-order bonuses were also mentioned in the trailer, including exclusive access to Borderlands 2's Premiere Club which grants you the Golden Key, the Vault Hunter's Relic and the Gearbox Gunpack. Smack it here for some more details.
Also of Note: Technically speaking, the game features 870 gajillion more guns, 96.5% more wub wub and is 1000 degrees hotter. Sorry for any confusion.

What Do Alumni Say About the Business Programs at Allegany College of Maryland?
Here is a sample of what recent Allegany College of Maryland business graduates have to say about their experience:
|" Allegany College of Maryland gave me the opportunity to explore many different career options and provided excellent educational resources to help me succeed."
|"The Somerset County Campus was the best solution for my college education because of the location, cost and the flexibility of scheduling classes around my family and work. An invaluable asset of the college is the experience that faculty bring with them to the classroom as not only educators but as everyday business people."
|"My experiences at Allegany College of Maryland were all positive. The class sizes were not so large that you felt isolated from the instructor, and all the instructors provided support even out of the classroom. Without the Bedford County Campus it would not have been possible for me to pursue a degree and spend time with my wife and kids."
|"My experience at Allegany College of Maryland was wonderful... it was a great transition step for my college career. The professors at ACM seemed to care a great deal about the student's education. ACM has small class sizes and a perfect learning environment for those students that enjoy one on one access to your teacher. Also, it was nice knowing that all my credits would easily transfer to Frostburg State University. Overall, my experience with ACM was enjoyable. I would recommend ACM to anyone looking for a nice, student friendly environment."

Is William Petersen really leaving CSI?
Well, kind of... yeah. For those that have caught the new promo for the next episode of CSI, it touts Grissom's departure from the Vegas lab. The episode, appropriately titled "Leaving Las Vegas," airs next Thursday, January 4. But we sort of knew this anyway. We even reported a few months ago that Liev Schreiber was joining the cast as a new lead investigator named Michael Keppler.
So at this point, I suppose you shouldn't be worried. The episode description even says that Grissom is only leaving for a four week sabbatical. But then I went digging.
A simple Google search for "William Petersen leaving CSI" yielded numerous articles and interviews dating back to 2005 where the actor talks about how he's tired of playing Gil, would like to give theatre and film a shot again, and his desire to be a better husband. He makes it clear in this article that his character will only be around in a limited capacity for the remainder of this season. So it looks like solving the case of the miniature replica killer was Gil's last hurrah. But let's be honest here TV fans. We know how this works. My educated guess? Petersen won't be back at all when CSI returns in Fall '07 for its eighth season. Anyone think otherwise?

Get Plugged In
Get Plugged In is an AVERT campaign dedicated to empowering young people to lead on HIV prevention, by helping provide the tools to allow a network of well-informed young people to harness the power of technology, to mobilise, and share knowledge with their peers in the fight against HIV.
As one of the leading HIV and AIDS websites in the world, it is obvious to AVERT the important role technology plays in the provision of sexual health education and information around the world. It is especially relevant among young people who, as research suggests, are increasingly becoming more comfortable with online sources of information, as opposed to traditional ones, like leaflets and books.
Today's generation of young people is the largest ever, standing at 1.6 billion. It is for this reason that it is vital that young people can access information to help protect themselves and their peers. According to the latest statistics, there are currently 5.4 million young people living with HIV globally. Young people account for 39 percent of all new adult infections globally. 1
IN FOCUS: World Development Information Day 2013
World Development Information Day falls on October 24th each year, and is a United Nations endorsed day seeking to highlight the development problems facing many parts of the world today. The day recognises the potential of information and communication technology as integral to combatting these development challenges, and importantly, young people as the most influential vehicle in doing this.
"Improving the dissemination of information and the mobilisation of public opinion, particularly among young people... leads to greater awareness of the problems of development."
To celebrate this day, AVERT asked a selection of young people who are all already engaged with the Get Plugged In campaign, what their views on the development challenges in their countries were, with a specific focus on HIV and AIDS. Some of the underlying development challenges relating to HIV and AIDS we identified include poverty, gender inequality, political instability, people not having their rights recognised and hard to reach groups.
Our Reflections on the Epidemic – A series of interviews from young people for World Development Information Day 2013 is a collection of inspiring and insightful interviews, that tap into the opinions and perspectives of young people on HIV and AIDS from four regions across the globe. Check it out!
What we've done!
Infographic Competition
As part of the launch of the Get Plugged In campaign, AVERT challenged young people around the world to come up with a creative and powerful infographic that conveys a message about HIV prevention.
The idea was to educate their peers with an HIV prevention message that was important to them, or to inform their peers by presenting data or information in an interesting and creative way. The entries could contain digital art, graphs, charts, photographs, illustrations, drawings, paintings… Any form of media was allowed! Importantly, the competition was not based on who had the best software, rather whose infographic represented the best visual or graphic representation of data or information.
We had an impressively high quality of entrants from Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean, North America, Australasia and Africa! With help from external judges Designers Against AIDS, Do Something, powered by vInspired and Student Stop AIDS, we were able to choose one winner and three runners-up!
Young People, Technology and HIV: an AVERT survey
To inform the campaign, AVERT conducted a small survey to understand more about how young people around the world were using different forms of technology, including mobile phones, social media, websites, chat forums, etc., to access information relating to HIV and AIDS and their overall sexual health. We received over 300 responses from 46 countries around the world. Backing-up previous research, we found that the large majority of young people now go online to find information about sexual health and HIV/AIDS; 83 percent of the respondents said they would go to websites for this type of information, compared to only 34 percent who indicated they would go straight to a doctor or a nurse- nearly the same amount who said they would seek advice from a friend (32 percent), or even use traditional sources such as leaflets and books (28 percent).
Reliability, clarity and speed of access of this type of information were the most important considerations for young people when accessing this information online. Ease of access, speed and confidentiality were the most important reasons behind using mobile phones, as opposed to an actual computer for this type of information.
There were regional disparities between the type of technology favoured by young people and considerations when accessing information about sexual health and HIV/AIDS. For example, 67 percent of respondents from Africa said they use mobile phones to access information of this kind, compared to just 31 percent in Europe, and 24 percent in South East Asia. Cultural-specific information was more important for people living in Africa, Asia, Middle-East & North Africa (MENA) and Latin American regions; 83% of people living in Africa indicated that culturally specific info was very important; compared to 51 percent in North America, and 40 percent in Europe.
Get Plugged In Forum
As part of the campaign, AVERT set up an online private forum for a network young people (aged 18-25) from around the world, and well informed about the epidemic, to interact and engage with one another on issues relating to HIV and AIDS and sexual health. The forum allows AVERT to engage young people in decisions around the campaign as well as sharing resources and tools. Through the forum, young people can start up discussions and ultimately learn more about the different challenges facing their peers in different parts of the world.
"Young people remain at the centre of the epidemic and they have the power, through their leadership, to definitively change the course of the AIDS epidemic."
What other research has been done?
We have been compiling research to inform a new page on the AVERT website, which reviews some of the literature and case studies around technology as a sexual health promotion tool for young people. Stay tuned for it's launch!
What next?
We will be sharing the survey results with other HIV/AIDS and sexual health organisations working with young people, to give them some ideas about how to use technology as an HIV prevention and sex education tool.
The literature and resource review will help us identify what resources are out there and what are the most effective ways of using technology in this way. With the help of young people, we then hope to develop various exciting tools to empower young people to take control of their sexual health and share information with their peers. More to come soon!
AVERT's partner organisations in Malawi and South Africa work closely with young people in their communities to empower them with knowledge about HIV/AIDS and safe sex. They are also getting involved in the Get Plugged In campaign to help shape it and to make sure that we are responding to what young people want!
Through the campaign we will be developing a range of online resources, including factsheets, infographics, photos, e-booklets, and so on, that can be shared with your peers. The Get Plugged In forum members have already helped AVERT design and develop a brand new infographic, "How to use a female condom", for World Female Condom Day on September 16th 2013, and was well received by many organisations and people working in the field.
"The actions of young people are shaping the future of AIDS across the world."
Find this infographic, and an array of others on the dedicated "Learn and Share" section. Inform yourself, and share information with your peers by email, Facebook, or Twitter using the #GetPluggedIn hashtag.
We also developed a 'You, Me & HIV' e-Action which takes you on a journey around the world to meet different people affected by HIV.

Finally got the required gauge on my Talkeetna hat, and it turned out super cute!
More than anything, I really, really love all the pictures Maggie and I just took outside. She was up for a photo shoot today, probably because we've been spending too much time inside this week as we get over our icky colds. And I'm loving the new lens I have on my camera, which takes very nice photos when I set it on auto.
I told her to wear jeans for the pictures, but the red shoes were totally her idea. I love this girl so much!
The reason I re-made this pattern was two-fold. First, the original mittens are muddy and felted and too small. The hat is fine, but has seen better days. Second, Petite Purls requested samples to take on the road for some trunk shows they're doing this year. They've been so supportive of me and I just love every issue they put out that I couldn't say no! I'll be sending this hat and mitten set off to them next week!
The pattern, which includes both the hat and mittens, is Talkeetna. You can download a pdf here for free, or visit Petite Purls!
In other news, you might have noticed things look somewhat different around here! I've updated my blog and will probably spend the next few weeks or so tweaking things. Behind the scenes things like this are most decidedly Not Fun, nor is it my forte, so it might be a while until I get it exactly how I want it. If you have any trouble navigating the site, please let me know, but links should work and you should still be able to get around.

MAC Modern Lure Lipglass Review & Swatches
MAC Modern Lure Lipglass is one of five new, limited edition shades launching with the MAC Alluring Aquatics Summer 2014 Collection.
MAC Modern Lure Lipglass definitely takes on less of a bronze-y look for your Summer look and embraces vampy to the max with this purpley violet shade.
Take a peek!
MAC Modern Lure Lipglass is a ripe blackberry with a lovely pink shimmer. MAC calls it violet but it's less violet and more crushed, over ripened berry purple in my humblest. This is has elements of vampy and goth to it so if you like a darker lip look you'll adore it. I admit upon viewing the shade on my lips I thought more Fall than Summer but none the less I love it. I was surprised as I don't do vampy well but this shades proves wearable.
MAC Modern Lure Lipglass
MAC Modern Lure Lipglass Swatches
On first application it isn't quite opaque so it does need a bit of layering for the best color pay off. It has has a tendency to fall into the natural lines of my lips, not good, but with two to three layers in place I find the color is more even and smooth with less patchiness. It's pretty opaque on two applications but you might just want to be a rebel and tip into a third layer for even more pop (I'm wearing two below).
As you can see it sports the rather nifty packaging that MAC went with for this collection. It looks like my tube of gloss took a divine into the ocean or pool as it has a raised, 3D water droplet effect on the top. It's a textured water drop effect and quite nifty packaging in my opinion!
Sure, it's not really your traditional Summer shade but it is gorgeous none the less and quite wearable in my humblest. So if you're going a bit darker and vampy with your Summer looks I think MAC Modern Lure will be a perfect shade to add to your Summer lipgloss wardrobe.
Loves this one.
Muse Approved.

The packaging is so fantastic with this collection
5/20/14 21:04 Icequeen81:
Pretty shade
5/20/14 23:32 cat:
I'm glad this is kind of a go-ahead to wear dark lippies in summer. I probably won't but it's nice to know MAC approves.
5/21/14 2:08 Hanna:
Since I'm pretty goths everyday, this is actually a great summer look for me.
Since I always go dark I tend to switch to glossy and dewy in the summer instead of matte.
This color is amazing, must go find it tomorrow!!!
5/21/14 2:12 Valerie M.:
I really love this lipglass and a few others. Definitely will be picking up at least one of two of these 😀
5/21/14 4:56 butterdaisy:
Oh wow! The lashes, the gloss…. You go girl! Love it! Very pretty Muse. I received all my Alluring Aquatics purchases the very next day after ordering Thursday morning with the overnite code and I am still very pleased with them. I polished my nails with Submerged and I can't stop looking at them. The duochrome is fabulous. The wear of the polish and shadows are something new to me bc I've never had eyeshadow wear "forever" on me and my polish looks like I just painted them and I only used the same Sally Hansen topcoat I use with all my other polishes. I also can't believe how non-drying Goddess of the Sea is. Yes, this collection was indeed made for me. LOL!!
5/21/14 8:48 kellly:
oooh! pretty!
My wallet may not be ready for this but I plan on doing a haul of Alluring Aquatics right after work on Friday!
5/21/14 17:55 Angel:
This is really pretty! Muse, do you think this pulls brown in anyway? Like, I can't wear clinique Black Honey as it turns too brown on me. But maybe if I just wore one sheer layer this would work. God, I want it just for the packaging LOL! Glad to have you back! Xoxo
5/22/14 17:30 Angel:
Excellent, thanks Musie!
5/22/14 10:18 Guindyloo:
I previously ordered Siren Song lipstick (because it was the last colour left) It actually does a good job of completely blocking out my natural lipshade and blends in with my face, with added shimmer. I kind of dig the look, but it certainly won't be an every day kind of shade. Mystical was the one I really wanted, but no such luck.
I got Submerged but haven't actually put it on my nails yet, but probably will go for it this weekend when it's time to change out my polish because it's so gorgeous!
I also got Seducing Sound lipglass, but I think it pulls a little too brown for my skintone….so then I ordered Clear Water and Modern Lure from Nordstrom.
I'm IN LOVE with the eyeshadows – I got Soul Serenade and Silver Sun….I might go to my local Mac store after work today to see if they still have any other shades…but I'm not sure that I can stand further heartbreak if they're sold out by the time I've left the office. :p
5/22/14 10:44 Guindyloo:
Nordstrom tells me the eyeshadows are "currently unavailable" and Mystical went out of stock right before my very eyes while I was trying to order it the other day.
5/22/14 11:56 Guindyloo:
I'll hop by Mac this afternoon. If they're gone then maybe it's just not meant to be I would really love to get my hands on the full set of shadows though!
5/22/14 16:11 Guindyloo:
Sooooo, my manager needed to swing by the mall mid-day so I went with her and got to Mac and was able to get Sea Worship and Lorelei AND Mystical! They were already out of Fathoms Deep but they didn't have Legendary Lure in just yet, so I still have some hope that I might be able to get my hands on that one!
5/22/14 14:49 Kayla:
I love this shade! I almost purchased it, but I was also purchasing Goddess of the Sea, so I didn't want to leave with two purple shades. Instead, I purchased the lipglass in Clear Water because it's much more unique! That multidimensional pearl is TO DIE FOR!
In terms of the collection as a whole, I am a fan of the darker shades, however many of them were unwearable for me.. I'm very fair and most of the lipsticks washed me out/looked too mature on me, the blushes were nothing special, and I didn't need a bronzer because I just bought the Maleficent Sculpting powder that I adore.
I'm so disappointed in Siren Song, Pet Me, Please, and Enchanted One! Goddess of the Sea really surprised me, because its more of a true purple with a mauve-ish undertone that makes it very wearable. Usually purples turn into berry shades on the lips!

Watch Fantastic Mr Fox for things to do in London
Published: Saturday 23rd of October 2010
Families heading to London attractions such as the Cartoon Museum could catch one of children's all-time favourites while in the capital.
Road Dahl's Fantastic Mr Fox is being revisited and celebrated at the Little Angel Theatre.
The classic story has been adapted by Sarah Woods and will be enacted with rod puppets much to the delight of young ones.
Peter O'Rourke has constructed an innovative multi-level stage of the production that follows the many challenges and achievements of Mr Fox.
Lively songs and music composed by Ben Glasstone add to the delicate world of wilderness created on-stage.
The execution is marvellous and entertaining as the story traces the war of wits as one animal's fight for survival is threatened by three conniving famers.
Parents could also head to Brent to treat kids with a fireworks show in celebration of the Indian festival of light – Diwali.
