I would bet on either Fx3 being broken (not very likely, but possible)
or the code in your catch block breaking. Did you check for exceptions?

OK I'm sick of my music
Baby I'm bored indeed. I've probably listened to all my CDs a couple of hundred times each... and now I'm tired of all of them. It's tough playing music all day while reading comic books in a Hawaiian shirt. HAHAHAHAHA. But I'm kidding.
Anyway, I came up with an idea. I would like ALL OF YOU to make me a "mix CD" of stuff you like/are listening to, and I will GIVE you a coupon for FIVE DOLLARS OFF anything in the store. Please help an old man out! One parameter: Please remember that I will be listening to this stuff in the store, so nothing with curse words, OK? Other than that, bring it on! I'm serious, bring me what YOU like! As I receive disks, I will post the donor's name and a list of the songs, so please include the song titles/artists with the disks. Thanks in advance. Don't let me down, people.

Black has always been the most iconic color in terms of classic sophistication and so it's of little surprise that the hue of choice for brooding intellectuals is once again back in fashion. Living in New York means that at least half of my wardrobe is either black or gray. It is a given that in the case that in most cities and professional settings, the de rigueur color is black. Beyond this though, black is also the vehicle for many fashion statements as well as the patron color for creative types.
Samuel Beckett, the acclaimed expatriated writer, most exemplifies the essence of what the color black is supposed to convey. Spending his time in cafés, writing and pondering the philosophical questions of his day, he was a man of ideas and his dark clothes helped to create a tangible identity that complimented his literary persona.
The problem with black comes in its abuse, too much will have you looking like a stage-hand and inappropriate, disjointed pieces will send the message either that you are going through a period of angst or are in mourning. If neither of these describes your situation, it is always safe to add some other neutral colors to the mix, principally white or gray to avoid the probable confusion.
Wearing black pants with a black dress shirt and then a different colored sweater is a look that is basically fail-safe and easy adaptable for just about any social milieu. This solves the problem of black over-kill and can be either casual when worn without a tie or dressier with one, either being likely appropriate for the office. The other completely viable option is to wear a white dress shirt with a black sweater overtop.
Sweater and jeans from Dolce and Gabbana.
Mixing black with gray and white tailored pieces is a refined look that is appropriate in any setting. In this example, the black serves a more formal purpose rather than being a fashion statement. When wearing elements of black such as a cardigan or sweater, you will most likely also need to wear black shoes to make the outfit cohesive.
Cardigan and pants from Armani Collezioni.
A black turtleneck is a great piece that expresses sophistication and intelligence. It is easy to imagine Beckett receiving guests in the bar-lobby of a Parisian hotel after having finished an espresso and a carton of Camels. As opposed to the other outfits, which incorporate several other elements such as shirts and ties, you don't run the risk of black overkill. Corduroy pants have an old-world feel that compliment and complete an intellectual writer look in a way that jeans absolutely could not. Pairing the sweater with gray trousers and black shoes is a possibility that will make the outfit less brooding and more trendy.

A few years ago, playing the 339 military aircraft, the aircraft had more than 10 meters of cable-stayed antenna, as well as the the R71E professional receivers, radio also bought a few. Later found no fun, toss for a long time, but do not know want to do, you really need to go to so much trouble Romania Taiwan\'s Chinese you hear? Heard to enjoy? That it is difficult to receive radio content is not particularly interesting, and that this interest is a problem, or a little easier! So the resale resale, the throw the throw.
Finally on hand only a small Mp3 stuck in headphones to listen to. This seems inconvenient. So the feeling is still lack an authentic radio requires a speaker with full band, but definitely not more than 100 yuan, or the consumer will be endless. The Tecsun of one phase of the R304, like enough, \"earth\", but the soil heritage, it seems the impression that radio should be is this; soil with a little style of modern industrial design. R304 Radio is like that after the so-called \"Slim\" to modify the new suit design, capable and bright, while still retaining the traditional.
It is the overall performance is pretty good, with AC power supply, then no problem listening to the FM band, listen to medium wave and short wave there is a larger interference. In fact, according to the current radio environment, whatever radio most people on the interior of the basic only listen to the FM band, so the AC power supply performance and actual impact. Night, I put two on the 1st Battery, near the window of the balcony to listen to medium wave and short wave are pretty good, radio, and separation of adjacent units is also good, the tone of the Chinese program of the Russian sound very nice, and now I live in the yard are the group of 29 floors floor below a fifth floor at.
Frequency drift, this problem a lot of radio, very concerned about this kind of thing, in fact, did not have any impact on life, a few minutes to go gently adjust to it a few times after the stabilized . Listen to the radio I basically listen to a few strong units, such as Voice of the Voice of Russia in China, or France, international radio stations, etc., for such a strong Taiwan is slightly floating point to listen to no impact.
Strong tower above the provincial level of the quality of programs in general are better, the content is also relatively abundant, there are still many can listen to, to say disgusted with the medical program, then, in fact, can jump, you can not listen to the radio 24 hours, the most good a program table, good day to be able to listen for a while. Radio and television is in fact the cultural supermarket, supermarkets, the nature of the browsing and do not like you can switch while watching movies is not the same film to be performing for thousands of the theater, switching can not, so the movie is the top level of the pyramid structure of the media, while only middle-level radio and television, phone and network is the bottom of the media underlying the low threshold by many, so I can be posting here for everyone to see.
Are generally in short-wave radio, the major powers on China\'s broadcasting program can also, in several countries such as I mentioned above. The United States, I almost do not listen, do not like the content, interference, if not interfered with I do not listen, and thought that simply interfere with it. There is one exception is the medium wave 1557 khz Christian radio Sometimes I will listen to Scripture, those are human literary classic, simple and have a strength, a few years ago to hear that verse: \"the mountains never give birth, never cause with the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God \", I always remember. I often recall the phrase text often and the Oriental spirit of \"color\" and \"empty\" compared to the word of the saints of humanity is the ultimate value orientation are the same (or even \"value\" is used here are still not perfect).
However, this station will inevitably do a value penetration, from the radio, I vaguely read that the exclusion of certain religious (alluding Buddhism). Since the ultimate value are consistent, why crowding out? This is the political, saying that white American mouthpiece. It seems the opposite reaction of such a powerful power of Buddhism or Taoism short-wave radio, is not a little disappointed? Think also related to formulation and Eastern religions, Buddhist talk about advising people to not more than three times, not fate there is no way. Christian talk \"button door will give you open the door, seeking he will be seeking to see\" for the well known traditional Chinese \"Guanyin responsive\", this is not the same as what? The thickness of the Chinese culture does not need an others to deliberately tell me how to do it
India and Pakistan and Iran, the Turkish Radio\'s Chinese program sometimes can listen to the India and Taiwan, Mandarin is really hard to pronounce, compared to the content and appeal of radio I have little interest. But added that Iran\'s state radio announcer Mandarin sound, programs are also very exotic, long after listening to a few days and then my R304 try collecting these radio signal strength seems to be no strong said above, so is listening to the program as a swap. Received broadcast is so strong power units, content units, worth listening to, and dozens of radio solved. You really have to spend several hundred dollars signal into an audible level to enjoy the level of the signal, but the actual listen to this case is not common in the life, the environment is very important.
The radio after the first power play continuously for several hours, speakers significantly more nicely, the sound becomes soft and a little treble hiss sound weakened, and it seems like and sound pre-mill must. May on the other hand the radio station itself also have other expensive machine before closing the China Radio International FM hiss sound heavy, but the Voice of Russia shortwave than other shortwave stations sound very soft, comfortable sound quality listening to , the Soviet people are kind of thin dead camel than a horse \", it is estimated that their radio is also extensive with a warm, mature tube.
Just in time to write this article, the radio came a beautiful and familiar song, \"Last Rose of summer in the 1980s the introduction of the deceased went to the mother of the little boy in the East German film\" handsome boy \"favorite bomb song. \"Last Rose of summer, in fact, from the 19th century German opera\" Martha \", the author Fu Luotuo. The lyrics are very moving, in this era of digital communication, let dedicate this song such as R304 Radio yourself.

Hello all,
I'm a complete novice at this. Not even sure I know which questions to ask. I recieved a used Coinmaster 6000/D S2 for my 68th birthday. I do have a manuel.
Now for the questions.
1. When doing the G.E.B. Field Tuning, is it normal for the meter to go to the mid-range and stay there?
2. When I take the machine out to practice I'm having trouble maintaining the threshold, it warbles and comes and goes.
I've got lots more questions, but I'll start with those two.
The machine was sent to an authorized White's Service Center. They cleaned the pc board contacts, cleaned the 15 pin connector, Tuned and tested, and a new battery box.
I'd really like to get this machine figured out, according to everything I've read it's a very good detector
Thanks for any help and advice.

Chive, Pink
Chive, Pink
Model 1600PINK
In Stock
Perfect in pink
With its less-than-two-inch blade, the pink Chive is a small knife. This, of course, makes it perfect for pocket, pack, purse, or briefcase carry. But just because it's small doesn't mean the Chive isn't mighty. In fact, the Chive is perfect for just about any cutting task you'd care to ask it to do—from opening packages to cutting duct tape.
To ensure this handy little blade is always ready when you need it, the pink Chive is equipped with SpeedSafe assisted opening. Just pull back on the ambidextrous blade protrusion or push on the thumbstud and the blade moves out of the handle, ready for use. The high-carbon blade steel offers good edge retention and excellent corrosion resistance. The bead-blasted finish is easy to maintain. This Chive's handle scales are pink anodized aluminum over steel liners. Anodizing not only enables the aluminum to take a scratch resistant color, but it actually strengthens the aluminum.
The pink Chive's handle is strong, lightweight, and colorful. For safety, it has a locking liner to keep it locked safely open and a Tip-Lock to keep it locked safely closed during transport. If pink is your color, the pink Chive just might be your knife.
Technical Specifications
Assists you to open any SpeedSafe® knife quickly and easily with a manual push on the thumbstud or pull back on the flipper; built into many Kershaw best sellers.
Liner Lock
Locks the blade open during use; one side of the knife's steel "liner," the steel plate to which the handle scales are attached, moves into position behind the blade to securely lock it open.
Single Position
The pocketclip is in a fixed position on the knife handle; usually it is positioned for tip-down, right-handed carry, though this may vary.
Made In The USA
When you see this on one of our knives, it means the knife was made in our Tualatin, Oregon manufacturing facility by skilled Kershaw knifemakers.
Additional Features
- Made in the USA
- SpeedSafe® assisted opening
- Liner lock
- Single-position pocketclip, tip-lock slider
- Steel: 420HC, bead-blasted finish

Controversy, consternation, and skepticism always swirl around Cleantech and policy, highlighted most recently by the disappointing COP 15 climate meeting in Copenhagen in December. There was plenty of debate but little in the way of real direction. Despite that, however, it's instructive to reflect on progress in the last several years to gain perspective on the breadth of the opportunity.

TO: Drake University Faculty, Staff, & Students
FROM: Arthur B. Sanders, Director of Honors Program
DATE: October 18, 2007
RE: Registration for Honors Courses, Spring 2008
With an Honors Program curriculum that is continually changing, Honors Program seminars unite the diverse interests of faculty and students to explore topics that cross the boundaries of traditional disciplines. The Program's small class size and unique subjects promote independent thinking, intellectual creativity, and the courses are writing-intensive and follow a discussion –based, collaborative inquiry format. Honors Program classes are open to all motivated students, and Honors Student Council activities are generally open to the entire campus community. Student leaders are elected to Honors Executive Council leadership positions each academic year.
Questions about the Honors Program Track of the Drake Curriculum should be directed to the Honors Program office, 271-2999, or to the Director of the Honors Program.
NOTICE: The courses are numbered as follows:
1-49: intended for first-year students
50-99: first-year students, sophomores, juniors and seniors (unless otherwise designated)
100-149: suggested for sophomores-seniors
150-197: junior-senior seminars
198: Honors Program Independent Study (or approved alternative)
199: Honors Program Senior Thesis/Project (or approved alternative.)
Honors Track restrictions:
Only one web instructed class may be applied towards Honors elective hours.
No more than two courses from the same department may apply towards Honors elective hours.
Honors 072 Modern Spiritual Masters: Wrestling at the River Jabbok
Jim Laurenzo
3 credits
TR 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
The things of time are in connivance with eternity.
--Thomas Merton
A "spiritual master" is far more a guide and companion than some sort of disciplined "taskmaster." The guides for this course all have studied and written extensively in various branches of religion and religious traditions. The titles of the books we will use perhaps best explain the way this course will proceed as not so much an accomplished and finished path, but one that each of us must traverse to deepen and further our understanding and then reach the other side of Jacob's Jabbok River--wrestling with an angel.
James L. Crenshaw's Trembling at the Threshold of a Biblical Text in its very name warns us to be prepared for a close and deep study of any text we read, in our case his reflections can deepen ours. Phyllis Trible's Texts of Terror digs deeply into 4 passages of the Hebrew Bible intending us to do some wrestling of our own. Hagar, Sarah, and Their Children lead us into Jewish, Christian, and Muslim perspectives of the Bible's story of Sarah and Abraham--and our own.
Finally, Thomas Merton (A Thomas Merton Reader) expresses a spirituality fed daily not only by the Bible but by writings and religious traditions of the world--and much wrestling.
This course is intended for students who want to engage a wider level of discussion, spiritual and religious wise, but also history wise.
Majors / Minors / Concentrations: Religion; the Honors Program Track of the Drake Curriculum.
Jim Laurenzo is pastor of the Drake Catholic Student Center and professor adjunct for Drake's Philosophy and Religion Department. Before this, he spent seven years as Adult Education Director for the Catholic Diocese of Des Moines where, although he abhors winter, he helped direct the ecumenical program, January Thaw (which in Des Moines is a lie). He has also taught during the summer for Grandview, Creighton and Mercy School of Nursing -- because Iowa summers are dreadful weather too. "Why not spend time inside, studying and learning and discussing the bigger questions of life?"
Honors 078 Public Intellectuals
Arthur Sanders
3 credits
TR 9:30 am – 10:45 am
In this class, we will take a look at the role that public intellectuals have played and could play in contemporary American society. While we will begin the class by looking at the history of public intellectuals in America, our primary focus will be on the role that these individuals have played over the past twenty years. We will focus on four different areas, race, science, the "new conservatism" and gender, reading and thinking about the ideas of a prominent public intellectual in each of these areas. And we will think about whether or not the development of the World Wide Web and the Internet makes these people obsolete - or more important than ever before. Hopefully, some of what we read will inspire you, some of it will infuriate you, and some will cause you to rethink some things that you "know" are true.
Readings: We will be reading The Public Intellectual: Between Philosophy and Politics, a collection of essays that discusses the role of public intellectuals, and Public Intellectuals: An Endangered Species? a collection of essays that examines whether or not public intellectuals have lost their way. In addition, in each of the four areas, we will read a collection of essays by a single pubic intellectual. I am leaning toward the following people, race: Cornell West; science: Robert Ehrlich; conservatism: George Will; and gender: Gloria Steinem, though those assignments are subject to change.
This course is intended for first-year students and sophomores.
Majors/Minors/Concentrations: the Honors Program Track of the Drake Curriculum.
Arthur Sanders is Professor of Politics and International Relations and Director of the Honors Program. He has written a number of books and articles about the American political system. He just completed a book about the presidential election process and is working on a study of the role of money in elections and policy-making here in Iowa. All of his writing on American politics has been concerned with how ordinary citizens can (or do) participate in our political world, and thus, he has a strong interest in the writings of public intellectuals and their role in fostering public, democratic debate.
Honors 87 Music and Literature
William Doughery
3 credit
MWF 9:00-9:50 a.m.
"Poets and musicians are members of one church related in the most intimate way:for the secret of word and tone is one and the same."
-E.T.A. Hoffman
Music and Literature have traditionally been viewed as closely related art forms because both are temporal, auditory, and dynamic. This course explores the nature of this relationship through an interdisciplinary lens. By studying musical and literary art works that attempt to blur disciplinary boundaries, the course seeks to develop a comparative methodology for examining musico-literary intersections. The course is divided into three sections. The first, literature in music, considers music that takes a literary work as a referent. We shall examine to what degree music, an apparently non-denotative art form, can convey, evoke or express anything beyond itself. The second section, music in literature, is an examination of explicit attempts to "musicalize" literature or "verbalize" music. We shall read Stevens, T.S. Eliot, and Thomas Mann (with a particular focus on Doctor Faustus). The third section, Music and Literature, examines the symbiotic relationship that arises when music and text are bound together in song and opera. The opera studied will be Benjamin Britten's The Turn of the Screw after the Henry James story.
The course is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors. It does not require any previous musical ability.
Majors / Minors / Concentrations: This class meets the Artistic Experience requirement in the Drake Curriculum. Students on the Honors Track can use this class either for the Artistic Experience or as three credits of the required 15 elective Honors credits. You cannot double count.
William P. Dougherty is Ellis and Nelle Levitt Professor of Music Theory and Composition. His primary research interest is in developing a semiotic approach to the art song that rigorously applies the semiotic theory of Charles Sanders Peirce. In particular, he is examining the over 300 settings of the 10 lyric poems from Goethe's Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre. He is also an active composer, and has composed over 50 works for various ensembles.

AND Discussion lab (761); Meeting time R 6:00 pm – 6:50 pm
This is an interdisciplinary course focusing on different modes of reasoning and inquiry (i.e., "paths to knowledge") in the sciences and the humanities. It should help us to better navigate our way through an increasingly information- and knowledge-saturated society. In pursuing this aim, we will explore the modes of reasoning and inquiry that are typically employed in the production of various forms of knowledge. Among the questions we will examine are: Why do we seek knowledge? How is knowledge created? How should we judge the value and validity of knowledge claims? How should society make decisions about the uses to which knowledge is put? In seeking answers to these questions, we hope to hone those critical and analytical skills that will allow us to become sophisticated producers/consumers of creative output.
This course is open to sophomore, juniors, and seniors with priority given to students completing the Honors Program Track of the Drake Curriculum.

Honors 102 Service Learning: Building a Legacy at Drake
Sally Beisser
3 credits
Wednesday: 11:00 am -12:15 pm (Wed classes for discussion, lecture, interaction, planning)
Friday: 11:00 am - 12:15 pm Friday classes will meet ONLY at the beginning and end of the semester. During most of the semester students will be setting their own time (in place of the Friday sessions) for project development and collaboration.
This course will help students think critically about volunteerism, reflect on their own volunteer service, discuss social issues and problems that impact the Drake campus, the community or global populations, understand critical issues in service-learning research, and most importantly, develop a service learning project.
Students will examine the definition of service-learning, volunteerism trends, project development issues, and possible project ideas that can impact the lives of others. They will also engage in readings and discussion to investigate social issues that influence a particular area of need. This will lead to the development of a final service project to be designed and implemented individually or collaboratively. After completion of the project, they will present it to an audience, and complete final written reflections of their experiences.
This course is intended for sophomore, junior or senior Honors students. Participants need access to transportation depending on project site and distance for the service-learning project visits.

She is intrigued with the way university students think of ways to make their world a better place and wants to facilitate Drake students in their own investigations. One little known fact is that she has designed a service- learning scholarship for undergraduates at her Alma Mater and gets to meet the two recipients each year for Dean's lunch to hear about their volunteer activities.
Honors 119 Black Christianity and Prophetic Politics
Jennifer Harvey
3 credits
W 2:00 – 4:50 pm
African American citizens have played a distinctive role in U.S. democracy. From enslavement, through Reconstruction, Jim Crow segregation, Black Power movements and into the present, African Americans have vigorously critiqued the civic body and enacted robust dissent against its prevailing racial practices. This course will explore various forms of Christianity within the African American community, and identify the unique ways in which Black Christianity in particular has contributed to democracy. Attention will be given to both what Black Christianity has said to the civic body, as well as to debates within the Black community. Manifestations of this prophetic politics in the present will also be a significant focus, with particular attention given to the roles of Black Christianity in the 2008 presidential campaign. Opportunities will be created to explore the role that Black Churches have played and continue to play in the Iowa (and Des Moines in particular) context.

Honors 122 Dilemmas of Self in Postmodernity
Allen Scult
3 credits
MW 11:00 am- 12:15 pm
This course will pursue two inter-related questions:
We will investigate these questions by studying how some of the most influential philosophers of Postmodernity tried to integrate their life and their work into a single project. Such a project, daunting in its difficulty and complexity, seems to be characteristic of philosophy after Nietzsche.
Heidegger was able to say of Aristotle that the only important things we need to know about his life is that "he lived, he worked and he died." Such is not the case today. For Postmodern thinkers, autobiography and philosophy are inexorably intertwined. Indeed the central question of postmodern philosophy can be read as " What does it mean to be a self?" For postmodern thinkers that question is intimately connected with their awareness of the omnipresence of the political, the embeddedness of the self in relations of power, and perhaps most importantly, the possibility of freedom.
Of course, how we come to understand and perhaps even define "Postmodernity" will be an essential accompaniment to our inquiry, as will the question of whether what it means to be a self and what it means to do philosophy is substantially any different for Nietzsche and his followers than it was for Socrates and his.
The central work of the course will be conducted as an ongoing conversation between and among the participants in the seminar and the texts we will read together by and about Nietzsche, Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, Deleueze, Blanchot and others. The texts are rigorously intellectual, yet very personal and intimate studies of the lives, thought and writings of philosophers who, by their insistence on thinking and writing their lives and living their work, have essentially defined the limits and possibilities of what we mean by "Postmodernity." Along the way we ourselves will become intimately familiar with the central terms and ideas which these thinkers used to construct the discourse of postmodernity.
The basic "work" of the course will be the construction of a discourse investigating the proposed questions above (and others that arise in due course). Your grade will be based on your contribution to our discourse, and the development of your own philosophical skills in reading and interpreting the texts; and thinking, talking and writing about the sorts of issues they raise. There will be a number of short papers and two longer ones.
This course is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors with some prior experience in philosophy and a serious interest in thinking.

Honors 124 Salem Witchcraft Trials
Lisa West
3 credits
TR 11:00 am – 12:15 pm
What caused the infamous witch trials? Religious attitudes? A social crisis? Introduction of new ideas from the West Indies? Trauma from recent Indian attacks? Changes in the status of women? This course will read a variety of explanations of the Salem witch trials. However, rather than decide what "really" caused them or argue about what "really" happened, this course will focus more on the nature of evidence. When we read a description of "what happened," what constitutes the evidence? Who gets to decide what is valid and what is not? How do these ideas of evidence come into play with various strategies of writing from personal narrative to sermon to other forms? How does this increased awareness of the way evidence is "embedded" in social reality affect your views about your own reading, writing, and judging?
In addition to thinking and writing about these questions, we will assess similarities and differences between the witch trials and the trial of Anne Hutchinson. We will do this through a "Reacting to the Past" curriculum which provides selected readings and role playing. This unit will be about a month of the semester and will give us another "body of evidence," so to speak. Reading will include historical and sociological explanations of the witch trials, 17th century readings (diaries, accounts of trials, etc.), and 19th 21st century imaginative writings about the Salem event, such as The Crucible. There will be several short papers rather than a single large project.
This course is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors and counts as a pre-1900 English course.

Honors 128 The Sixties: In the Streets and in the News
Robert Woodward
3 credits
MW 11:00 a.m.-12:15 p.m.
The decade of the 1960s left a major legacy for America, one that continues IN the present day. This course will examine the decade to show how its influence can be directly linked to political, social, and cultural developments in contemporary society.
The growing influence of the nation's media in the 1960s--especially the rise of television--will be addressed. In 1963, television became the major way in which citizens obtained their news.
The list of subjects is long:
And the list goes on.
Major objectives will be (1) to broaden student knowledge of the tumultuous decade; (2) to explore how the decade heavily influenced the lives of individuals and the nation over the years; (3) to examine major events in terms of their news and their history; and (4) to judge what the lasting legacy of the 1960s will be.
The class will use a discussion format and will draw on videos of key events of the 1960s. Students will be expected to participate in the class discussions and will write discussion papers, three 5-6 page essays, and a major research paper of 25 PAGES.
This course is intended for sophomores and first-year students. If there are seats available after first-year students have enrolled, juniors and seniors may register for this course.

Honors 129 Literary Genres: Politics and Nature Writing
Lisa West
3 credits
TR 12:30 pm – 1:45 pm
Within the larger field of nature writing, I believe there is a sub-genre that uses "nature" as a means of supporting political views. These political views are, in general, expressed either as a way to support the status quo (the "nature" of things, belief in a natural order that must be followed) or a form of dissert (nature used as a rallying call to return to an earlier past, a purer society, etc.). Therefore, they are broadly drawn rather than narrow political positions. Hence, the dissent really comes as a form of revolution or radical rethinking of the world and society rather than a call for a policy change or a change in law.
In this course, we will read texts that let us see HOW nature is used to support status quo or to argue for dramatic changes. We will look at the use of science, activism, metaphor – the way the writing moves from literary moments to moments that seem more political. Instead of arguing "for" or "against" positions, we will learn to ask how/why "Nature" is being brought into the argument, and how nature is defined. We will also look at narratives of nature – how nature can be written about. Another set of larger questions we will ask is what this does to OTHER studies of nature – such as scientific studies, local studies – when we have a legacy of linking a broad sense of "nature" to political purposes. Does it make all nature seem culturally constructed? Does it allow for interest in "nature for nature's sake"?
TEXTS: Walden (selections), excerpts from Locke, The Monkey Wrench Gang, The Nature Notebooks, An inconvenient Truth (film), "The Clan of One-Breasted Women," Earth in the Balance (selections), Swimming Upstream, portions of The Silent Spring and the Second Silent Spring, selections from Michael Pollan on food and/or botany, selections from Muir and issues of national parks, selected laws such as Clean Air Act.
This course is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors who have an interest in literary techniques, science and policy.

Honors 137 Women, Madness and Culture
Janet Wirth-Cauchon
3 credits
TR 12:30-1:45 pm
This course explores the relationship between gender and socio-cultural definitions of mental health and illness, and examines the history of the treatment of women within the major settings of the mental health system; psychiatry, psychoanalysis and asylum. The first major goal is to understand the social relations of power within which psychiatry emerged and within which women became defined as "hysterical", "irrational" or "mad". A second goal is to chart the relationship between women's social roles and the experience and treatment of mental illness, making use of autobiographical and fictional accounts by women, films and other materials.

Honors 139 Leaders, Followers, and Power Wielders
Thomas Westbrook
3 credit
M 6:00-8:50 p.m.
The purpose of this course is to assist students develop a greater understanding of leadership with special emphasis on the concepts of influence and power. The course will explore how ordinary and exemplary leaders build the capability of an organization, committee, and/or team to achieve shared goals and aspirations. The course is based upon the following three principles: leadership is everyone's business, leadership and power are fundamentally a relationship between leader and followers, and leadership can be learned. Course topics include understanding leadership, management, followership, leader characteristics, practices, and the situational components of leadership style. Various personal assessments will be used to assist each student to better understand his/her personal leadership characteristics and styles.
This class will strive to provide both intellectual and practical experiences to enhance one's understanding of leadership and one's ability to lead. It is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors in the Honors Program or students pursuing the concentration in Human Resource Management.

Honors 141 Representing Australia
Bruce Martin
3 credits
TR 3:30-4:45 p.m.
This course considers issues surrounding Australia and its representation in writing and other arts. What does it mean to "represent" something artistically, how have key aspects of Australian society and history been represented, and what might the intersection of Australia and representation suggest about each?
In pursuing these and related questions, we will discuss a sequence of texts--mostly writings by and about Australians, but also some Australian paintings and films--considered for what they suggest about both Australia and representation. The writings and other texts will be ordered in terms of main issues in Australian history: antipodal ("Down Under") geography and topography, convict colony origins, ethnic identity, aboriginal peoples, and gender.
Besides an assembled courepack of short readings and occasional handouts, we will read two novels: David Malouf's "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" (1995) and Miles Franklin's "My Brilliant Career" (2007, orig. publ. 1901). Student writing will consist of prompted journal entries for most every class plus 3 interrelated papers (one short, the second slightly longer, and third medium-sized).
This course is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Honors 151 Science, Cyborgs and Monsters
Joseph Schneider
3 credits
R 3:30-6:20 p.m.
This course introduces students to various critical analyses of technology, science, and knowledge as mobile sets of situated practices that always bear the marks of those particular social, historical, cultural, and political-economic locations in which they emerge and are practiced. Drawing especially from recent work in feminist science studies, from actor-network theory, and the intersection of studies of new media technology and affect, students are asked to consider these critiques of science and knowledge work as opening up new ways to think, do inquiry, and evaluate knowledge claims that take the materiality and matter of the world seriously-respecting much about the very traditions these texts criticize-while following the promises of this work toward building ways of knowing in which ethics and politics are as important as epistemology. Among the topics considered are representationalism and its critique, the relationship of matter and meaning in knowledge work, the laboratory as a political stage, distributed and networked agency, posthumanism, the "intra-action" of human as well as non-human entities in the production of knowledge, the nature of reality, objectivity, and truth; new media technology; measurement, ontology, and embodiment.
This course is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors. Students studying physical or life science would be introduced to Philosophy of Science concepts and issues.

Honors 156 Modes of Cultural Inquiry
Darcie Vandegrift
3 credits
MW 2:00-3:15 p.m.
This seminar gives students the opportunity to answer crucial epistemological questions through hands-on social inquiry. Most centrally, we will investigate how a writer's social position affects the production of his or her writing. A focus on centrality of language and practices of representation in cultural analysis will give participants an opportunity to experience these dilemmas as they engage in the practices of analysis, reading, and writing. We will deploy these practices to discuss empirical or written materials; practices may include discourse analysis, textual analysis, various forms of ethnography, interviewing, and other methods of research and criticism.
The course will address the ethical and epistemological debates in cultural analysis. Our questions will include both theory and practice. In acknowledging that any representation of the social world is constructed by the author, how might an author undertake the ethical and epistemological issues inherent in speaking for others? How should an author construct knowledge about people, cultures, and texts within a given terrain of power relationships? How might we interrogate the notions of objectivity and positivism, and how do these concepts become constructed as the elements of "good research?" What alternative positions might one take in evaluating representations of the social world? As we work through these issues, the class will also examine the complexities of cultural relativism vs. universalism and the problematics as well as strategic uses of essentialism.
This semester, the course will explore these themes through a consideration of global flows of people as tourists, migrants, and workers, as well as fantasies and objects of desire. This focus will allow us to explore issues of power, inquiry, social location and representation through a series of readings, written projects, out-of-classroom experiences and conversations.
This course is intended for sophomores, juniors, and seniors who have the following pre-requisites: an entry-level sociology, anthropology or rhetoric course (except public speaking) or permission of instructor.

Honors 161 Africa/Africans/Atlanta/ Slavery
Glenn McKnight
3 credits
R 6:00 – 8:50 pm
The immense growth of slavery and slave trade research in the last quarter century has made examinations of unfree labor a major issue for world research. Studies of Atlantic slavery have generated the bulk of that research, and, as a result have challenged many traditional perceptions of that trade and its associated system of slavery. However, despite the unquestioned value of these recent analyses, most of these studies have looked at Atlantic slavery from the American side of the ocean. Consequently, the African nature of Atlantic slavery has often lacked close scrutiny.
This course has two goals:
The major argument of this course is that one cannot know why the Atlantic trade happened as it did nor how Atlantic slavery developed as it did without understanding the context which produced the people who were sold into slavery. Therefore, the course looks at the influence political, social, economic, and cultural factors in Africa had on the making of slavery and the slave trade both in Africa and the Americas. In doing so, the course will challenge students to rethink their own notions of Atlantic slavery as they analyze and critique the ideas encountered in this course.
This course is intended for sophomores, juniors and seniors.

"When people consider issues of globalization, they often ignore the role Africa and Africans play in the world economy and in global politics; they consider Africa as marginal to processes of globalization. I don't think this is correct and part of my goal in teaching about Africa is to dispel that notion. Recently, myself and some colleagues from the College of Business took a group of Drake students to Uganda on a study abroad course. Once there, students became very aware of the impact of global forces on Uganda and its people and the impact Ugandans have in return. What's interesting is that this same dynamic exists historically in terms of Africa's relationship with the world - a dynamic that is very apparent, ironically enough, in the history of Atlantic slavery."

Honors 164 Postcolonial South Asia
Sandya Hewamanne
3 credits
W 4:00-6:50 p.m.
This junior/senior honors seminar will focus on the intense contradictions surrounding postcoloniality. The course will focus on colonial and post colonial South Asia in examining inequities in modes of representation. Using Edward Said's crucial text Orientalism as our major guide, we will look into how colonial European culture produced and managed the Orient politically, sociologically, ideologically and imaginatively during the post-enlightenment period. We will examine cultural texts that reinforced the structures of imperialism in South Asia as well as some post colonial texts that focus on lives profoundly affected by the experience of colonization. By focusing on notions of hybridity, split subjectivity, migration and exile, the class will further explore issues of representation, identity, agency, discourse and history. The course will especially focus on subaltern studies, which is specifically aimed at recovering the agency of the subaltern that got covered within elite based discourses of colonial South Asia.
This course is intended for juniors and seniors.

Honors 169 Telling Our Lives: Narrative Medicine
John Rovers
MW 3:30-4:45 p.m.
Rationale for this course
There is no question that the health care professions are science-based. Our epistemology of health care practice - our way of knowing who we are and what we do - is increasingly evidence based. We know what to do based on our science and our science tells us what the right drug is, the best dose to choose and the adverse events to monitor for.
Patient care is taught according to the biomedical model. We know patients have a disease when we can measure a problem with their biology. Epilepsy is misfiring neurons and congestive heart failure is poor pumping action of the heart. This thinking is reductionist--it reduces the patient to her simplest elements of a few malfunctioning cells or a broken organ system.
Certainly health care education has been successful for many years, using the epistemology and reductionism I describe. But, the longer I teach and the longer I think about it, the more I am convinced that our epistemology and its attendant reductionism, although not actually wrong, are inadequate. It is this inadequacy that I will try to redress in this course.
In my view, although we as practitioners are our science and our patients are their biology, we are not only our science and our patients are not only their biology. Our patients and ourselves are also our stories. People lead biographical lives, not just biological ones. The most significant unmet need of any patient is the need to be heard as a person and not just seen as defective biology.
Science, with its attendant epistemology and reductionism will continue to be the cornerstone of the educational model for the healing professions. But it's not enough. Simply stated, my hope for this course is to mitigate some of health care education's epistemological and reductionist limitations by encouraging students to see patients in a fuller and more complete manner.

Course Content
The primary proponent of Narrative Medicine is Rita Charon who holds a PhD in English literature in addition to being a Board Certified Internist.
Initially, I will teach in an interactive lecture fashion, just what Charon is telling us. Then, using Charon's book, I will guide students in applying her principles to one of the secondary textbooks. We will read the book closely to see how each principle applies.
Once students have learned the principles of narrative medicine and seen it work, it then becomes time for them to apply the principles on their own. Students will be required to work in teams of 2-4 to apply them to the remaining books from the reading list.
Finally, students will work in pairs to interview a chronically ill patient. The principles of narrative medicine will be applied to each taped interview during class discussion. Each team of students will then write up their interpretation of their patient's narrative and turn that in as the course's capstone experience.

Honors 168 Storytelling/Social Practice
Jody Swilky
3 credits
MW 11:00 am – 1215 p.m. AND
Film Viewing Lab (CRN 3390) Sunday, 7:00-9:30 p.m.
Storytelling is ancient. As Trinh Minh-ha puts it, "[s]torytelling is the oldest form of building historical consciousness in community." And as a mode of professional discourse, storytelling is also, in one sense, nothing new. Autobiography, the "personal essay," the memoir, the travelogue, and other written genres of storytelling have long enjoyed an important position in the pantheon of Western literary genres. By contrast, there recently has been a move towards a practice of storytelling which deliberately challenges the boundaries of this reserved space of Western culture for aesthetic self-reflection. What social roles have storytellers played? What are the functions and effects of different approaches to storytelling?
Through reading and writing about different examples and theories of storytelling, you will investigate issues such as the relationship between writer (or speaker), story and reader (or listener), the functions of storytelling, and the place of experience in storytelling. We will consider how and why stories affect us-where we become engaged with parts of the story as well as where we resist or ignore other parts of the story. In other words, we will consider how an approach to storytelling does or does not have power, and consider how social determinants influence our responses to story. You will work in your writings towards a better command of yourself as a writing subject shaped by story and narrative as well as your relationship to communities, audiences, and the broader culture.
This course is open to students who have completed an English course at the 20-99 or 100 level. This course should be valuable to students who have an interest in rhetoric, literature, social sciences, cultural studies, and discourse theory and practice.

In this course, we will explore how media, politics, and popular discourse impact policy for intervention and prevention, and individual understandings of gender and violence. Some specific themes include the discovery and conceptualization of gendered violence, such as how definitions, measurements, politics, and language affect the understanding and response to the problem. Students will discuss how particular research questions and theoretical assumptions impact social policy, political agendas, and overall understanding of gender and violence. We will explore the lived experience of gender and violence from the perspectives of victims and perpetrators. Lived experience will be examined in context of the intersections of gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation, religion, and culture. Interdisciplinary explanations of gender and violence will be studied. And students will explore the social and cultural responses to gendered violence (and lack of response). Topics will include victim blaming, attitudes towards gendered violence, media images of violence, and the backlash against the battered women movement. We will also learn about programs and institutions that are involved with intervention in and/or prevention of cases of abuse and violence.
Students will be better prepared to:

Product Description
The Northwest Passage is a sea route that lies between northern Canada and the North Pole, joining the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The first expeditions took place after the discovery of America due to the need of the English to connect both coasts of the Americas to avoid edging the whole continent. However, it was not until the beginning of the 20th century when the adventurous spirit of sailors led them to discover this passage.
The goal of Northwest Passage Adventure – a game of strategy and wit based on a historical adventure, with a playing time of ten minutes per player – is simple: Be the first to discover the Northwest Passage with the help of nothing more than your ship and your ingenuity. We'll have to go tracing the most favorable route as the scenario takes shape, always 4-row vision. We will have to manage wisely our progress chips and exploit our character ability. We will also have the help of the treasures that we will find on the way. The player that crosses first the last row, row 24, wins.

The owner of the residence, on Blooming Grove Road, said she came home around 4:15 p.m. to find that her door frame was cracked. She found a footprint on her door. The resident also saw that a rear window frame had been pried out slightly, but not removed.

Robert Lustig's 90-minute YouTube video "Sugar: The Bitter Truth", has been viewed more than three million times. Now, in this much anticipated book, he documents the science and the politics that has led to the pandemic of chronic disease over the last 30 years.
In the late 1970s when the government mandated we get the fat out of our food, the food industry responded by pouring more sugar in. The result has been a perfect storm, disastrously altering our biochemistry and driving our eating habits out of our control.
To help us lose weight and recover our health, Lustig presents personal strategies to readjust the key hormones that regulate hunger, reward, and stress; and societal strategies to improve the health of the next generation. Compelling, controversial, and completely based in science, Fat Chance debunks the widely held notion to prove "a calorie is NOT a calorie", and takes that science to its logical conclusion to improve health worldwide. less

The Telegraph features IEA publication
As she explained in her memoirs, Lady Thatcher saw privatisation as "fundamental to improving Britain's economic performance". But it also chimed with her political ideology.
"It was one of the central means of reversing the corrosive and corrupting effects of socialism," she declared, adding: "Just as nationalisation was at the heart of the collectivist programme by which Labour governments sought to remodel British society, so privatisation is at the centre of any programme of reclaiming territory for freedom."
As David Parker noted, in a paper for the Institute of Economic Affairs, the Britain she came to lead in 1979 had seen successive Labour governments extend state ownership.
That included nationalising steel in 1967, British Leyland in 1974 and aerospace and shipbuilding in 1977.
"By the late 1970s, the nationalised industries accounted for 10pc of Britain's GDP, 14pc of investment and 8pc of employment," he said.
Lady Thatcher changed that, radically, though much of the impetus came from former trade secretary Sir Keith Joseph.

A volunteer heroine
Monday at the Executive Mansion in Olympia, a retired principal from Wenatchee was among the dozens of people recognized during the presentation of the Governor's Volunteer Service Awards. Mary Perkins' selfless act must have stood out, for the boundless good it has done for so many young lives.
In 2009 Perkins went to her unit of the Retired School Employees Association seeking recruits to staff a volunteer reading and math program for Rock Island Elementary as it suffered through budget cuts. The response was rapid and strong. They work one-on-one, develop a close relationship with their students, and their caring and skill have transformed the atmosphere of the school. The effect is tangible and evident in the school's test results.

Video: Fields of Growth Recap, Highlights
from press release
While there were many victories in the nine games played at the inaugural Maverik Fields of Growth Invitational on April 3, the true winner was the Kkindu Village in Uganda.
When all was said and done, over $5,000 was raised for a lacrosse field and school for orphans and other vulnerable children at the future site of the Fields of Growth Peace Village in Kkindu, Uganda.
Fields of Growth is a non-profit organization that aims to use
the game of lacrosse (and other sports like soccer) as a relational
platform to enable human and community development in rural Uganda.
Founded by former Scranton head lacrosse coach and current Notre
Dame director of lacrosse operations Kevin Dugan, Fields of Growth
is working to support a community based Peace Village project that
will empower Ugandan locals to enact holistic and sustainable
community development.
While these are lofty goals, the Fields of Growth Invitational was one small successful step towards realizing the vision of Fields of Growth. The Fields of Growth Invitational, which pitted some top teams in the New Jersey area against each other, provided teams with valuable preseason experience while also raising money for a great cause.
"The guys are very enthusiastic about the scrimmages on Saturday, and the players have also really taken to raising money for the cause," said Bronxville head coach Tim Horgan. "The day provides the players with an opportunity to become global ambassadors through lacrosse and they have enthusiastically embraced the responsibility."
The tournament was held at St. Joseph's High School in
Metuchen, N.J., and featured six teams (Bronxville, Montclair, St.
Peter's Prep, St. Joe's, Columbia and CBA) that each
played three scrimmages throughout the course of the day.
"Preseason scrimmage days have been a part of high school lacrosse in the Northeast for many years," said St. Joe's head coach Marc Moreau. "For all of us involved, lacrosse is our passion and we are excited to be able to host this event."
The teams that participated each raised $1,500 in t-shirt sales as their price of admission and even more will hopefully be raised through the increased awareness that the event generated.
"Service for others is a major theme here at St. Joe's," said Moreau, "Our players participate in many community service projects throughout their four years here but this is a unique experience where they are helping others while participating in their passion."
The coaches involved all noted how the Fields of Growth Invitational was very rewarding from both a lacrosse and humanitarian standpoint.
While the coaches and players were all excited with the success of the event, no one was more pleased than the man who put it all together.
"I'm really grateful to everyone that participated in this event," said Dugan, "I'd specifically like to thank Marc Moreau [St. Joe's Metuchen & Leading Edge Lacrosse], who organized everything, St. Joe's Metuchen HS for hosting the event and to Maverik lacrosse for sponsoring the event."
With the combined efforts of Fields of Growth and the lacrosse community the organization looks to do even more in years to come.
"We are really excited to continue our plans for the Fields of Growth Peace Village in collaboration with Ugandan locals in Kkindu," said an optimistic Dugan. "Our goal for the Peace Village is to develop a sight where we can enact real, sustainable community development with disadvantaged children from many different tribes and various faiths living together, studying together, playing together and learning from each other." The organization is also in the process of developing a service learning program that would enable student-athletes to visit the village, learn, serve and coach lacrosse.

The Barnet ground is the preferred choice for the match, which is to be played on the weekend of April 26-28, with Wembley or Twickenham potential alternatives.
Sunday's test event against Cardiff in the LV= Cup will be the first game played on the artificial pitch in front of a crowd of 3,500, three weeks before the official opening against Exeter on February 16.
Chief executive Edward Griffiths hopes Barnet Council will grant Saracens permission to temporarily increase the 10,000 capacity to 15,000 to comply with tournament organisers European Rugby Cup's rules for hosting quarter-finals.
"There are a number of hoops to go through before we can hold the match at Allianz Park," Griffiths said.
"We are in talks with the council over the capacity to see if it's perfectly possible to increase the capacity for one match, or if it's too soon.
"This is our home ground now so we'd like to stage the match here. This is absolutely our first choice.
"We want to try and bring those discussions to a close by the end of next week. We want something agreed as soon as possible."

Welcome to CityStyle Crochet, where I design original crochet patterns in my New York-based studio. Using skills developed over years of crocheting, I strive for a high quality presentation in each scarf, hat, cowl or shawl pattern I produce, and seek balance in color, texture and stitch detail.
I love all kinds of yarns, and constantly experiment with yarns of different colorways, weights, blends and textures in an effort to select yarns that showcase the stitches being used, and that will create a piece that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
I love what I do, and my goal is to create sophisticated designs that are a treat for you to wear, and that you can confidently give as gifts.
Enjoy your shopping here at CityStyle Crochet. I regularly add new patterns to my shop, so please check back often to see new additions!
