Remember this summer when the video of a super-sweet guy who recruited 60 friends and family to sing Bruno Mars's Marry You" to propose to his girlfriend when crazy-viral? Needless to say, the marriage proposal worked out, and also needless to say, we've been obsessed with finding great proposal videos since then. Behold, 10 of our absolute favorites—you'll laugh, you'll cry, and you might even wish it were you.
"It all started with a lonely, lonely boy…" taking jumping pictures of himself. Then, the bride entered the picture (literally and figuratively). We love this video montage he created from their pictures.
Feeling high on love yet? Well, go up, up and away with this video.
This groom had to trick his bride the whole time he was taking pictures for this video version of a flipbook. Really, he was creating the building blocks to a perfect proposal!
Dek: The first time this guy proposed to his bride on the radio was a joke, and he took some criticism for that. She might have thought she was back on the show for another radio stunt, but there's nothing fake about this proposal!
Imagine going to the movies and watching this preview.
This proposal took the cuteness up a notch, since the dancers were all little girls. Imagine how much time and effort the groom must have put into this romantic routine!
If wedding proposals were a competition, this one would win the award for creativity (but don't worry, grooms—they're not!). She couldn't have said no if she tried.
Techy boyfriends always find a way to go above and beyond.
Walking across the stage at your college graduation is already a memorable moment, but this girl got more than a diploma at this commencement ceremony.
Instead of the typical candlelight dinner, this couple went to a New York Knicks game for Valentine's Day. When she's brought down to the court, this bride thinks she's won a dollar, but then she gets a much better prize.
So, which of these vids were your favorite? Did any of you get your proposal on video?

SAN JOSE -- It was a downer of a weekend for San Jose State, so coach Ron Caragher turned to ice cream on Monday to try to boost the team's morale.
Yes, ice cream.
Caragher organized a field goal kicking contest between the offense and defense, with ice cream bars on the line for the winners. The offensive and defensive linemen did the kicking.
"Scary," Caragher said. "Some of those kicks, you better run for cover if you're on the wrong end of that."
The contest ended in a tie. Both had five attempts and Reuben Hasani was the only offensive player to make his 20-yard field goal. The defense missed its first four kicks before Fernando Villanueva delivered the equalizer.
For the tiebreaker, offensive line coach Hank Fraley went up against defensive line coach James Jones. Fraley's kick had the height and distance but was wide left. Jones' kick barely got off the ground.
So, everybody got ice cream. But perhaps the bigger reward was the energy the contest created.
The Spartans seemed to lack life in the second half of their 38-16 loss to Nevada on Saturday, during which they were outscored 17-0. Their bowl hopes are clinging to life, with everything on the line in the last two games.
SJSU (5-5) needs to win one to have a chance at a bowl, and Friday's game against Navy (6-4) seems like the best shot. If the Spartans lose that game and fall to No. 15 Fresno State (9-0) on Nov. 29, there would be a long offseason of what ifs.
It's a time when the players -- particularly the seniors who want to close their careers with another bowl appearance -- could begin pressing. Hence, Caragher is hoping to lighten the mood.
"You've got to create energy and upbeat attitude," he said. "Renewed energy and enthusiasm goes a long ways towards a good practice."
Neither ailment seemed to affect Fajardo as he rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown. Spartans defensive coordinator Kenwick Thompson said Fajardo looked much healthier than he did in past games.
"When he's healthy, he's very dangerous," Thompson said. "The way he played the other night, it's very evident he was healthier than he had been in the earlier part of the year."
Both Caragher and Thompson agreed that the team's tackling -- an issue early in the season that had improved somewhat -- regressed against Nevada. Thompson said the Spartans struggled to maintain proper technique in pressure situations.
"Guys are having the 'want to' to get there but that's not enough," Thompson said. "Having the proper technique will help you make a better tackle."

Life, Consciousness, and Existence Quotes in Nation
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
Sheep can't pronounce their bs but people go on saying [baaa] because they don't listen properly. (5.22)
Daphne makes a good point here. We've never heard a pig go "oink" either. It's more like "urahgagheagh." Oh, but the real point? People are sheep. And they're not even very good at being sheep.
Quote #5
A good shouting at somebody always makes you feel better and in control, especially if you aren't. (6.6)
Daphne feels much better after yelling at Mau, and he's man enough not to take it personally. We don't recommend trying this at a TSA checkpoint, though, because you'll learn pretty quickly who's really in charge.
Quote #6
People need time to deal with the now before it runs away and becomes the then. And what they need most of all is nothing much happening. (6.51)
This is a fancy way of saying "time heals all wounds." Of course, if you're running for your life or buried alive or something else horrible during that time, it's probably going to do more harm than good.

Twila Renee Foster
A Hephzibah woman is the latest mother to leave children unattended in a parking lot. Authorities say 27-year-old Twila Renee Foster went inside the Walmart on Deans Bridge Road on Saturday to "get her hair done." A deputy was called to the parking lot about 5:45 p.m. because three boys, ages 2, 6 and 9, were left alone inside a car. The deputy observed the key in the ignition and the windows down. The tipster said she saw the kids alone at 5:33 p.m., and the deputy waited until the mother returned at 6:05 p.m., a report states. DFACS was called and the boys were turned over to their father. Foster was arrested and charged with three counts of deprivation of a minor.

Arthur, in his New Year's Day piece in the New York TIMES, may be showing us the way we need to proceed from here on in, as citizens who promote and maintain the civic dialogues for the benefit of all of us.
The great strength of history in a free society is its capacity for self-correction. This is the endless excitement of historical writing — the search to reconstruct what went before, a quest illuminated by those ever-changing prisms that continually place old questions in a new light.
History is a doomed enterprise that we happily pursue because of the thrill of the hunt, because exploring the past is such fun, because of the intellectual challenges involved, because a nation needs to know its own history. Or so we historians insist. Because in the end, a nation's history must be both the guide and the domain not so much of its historians as its citizens.

With temperatures warming up all over the country, many boat owners are heading out to their docks to take their vessels for a ride. If you're one of these lucky mariners, it's important to remember that safety should be your number one priority when boating. It's a fun hobby but, if done carelessly, can be very dangerous.
Boating Magazine recently listed its top 44 boating safety tips. Here are some of their best pieces of advice:
- Bring a pair of binoculars on your journey: It's difficult to overstate how important having a pair of binoculars can be while on a boat. It can help you see approaching vehicles and land formations that may not be visible to the naked eye.
- Go over your docking plan with crew members: Before you approach your slip, make sure that all members of your crew know exactly how you'll be approaching the dock and what their responsibilities will be in terms of throwing lines over the rail and jumping on the dock.
- Use warping to pull out of tight spaces: If your boat is parked between two others and you can't move forward or backward without hitting another boat, use warping to maneuver. This is where you tie the bow of your boat to the dock and use it as a pivot point to swing out of your parking space.
You should also ensure that your boat is full equipped with a chartplotter and other marine instruments that will make your voyage safer. If you need to upgrade or replace your navigation equipment, your best resource for this gear is ePal. We have the best prices on the internet, as well as the best shipping policy.

It may be the height of irony that a company that was supposed to soar to the top of the new clean energy economy, with the help of U.S. taxpayers to undergird President Obama's stimulus visions, has instead left both an environmental and financial mess after its demise.
Yet that's exactly the case with miserable failure Abound Solar, which the president's Department of Energy thought so much of, they awarded it a $400 million loan guarantee. That proposition quickly soured and the government halted payouts after about $70 million. The company went bankrupt in June 2012, leaving taxpayers out between $40 million and $60 million that was never recovered.
NLPC has reported regularly on several of the large-ticket boondoggles that have received taxpayer support via President Obama's "green" stimulus initiatives, but for every Fisker, Nissan Leaf or Ecotality, there are thousands of smaller, equally unworthy beneficiaries that deserve public scorn.
Government watchdogs – both "professional" and amateur – can scour the Recovery.gov Web site and find the waste pretty easily. But KCNC-TV reporter Brian Maass had the stimulus program come to his doorstep. Denver had launched a program, paid for out of the federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, to plant about 4,000 trees at private residences (photo courtesy KCNC) – many in high-priced neighborhoods that didn't need the free shade.
So here's the legacy left in Weld County, Colorado by bankrupt Abound Solar, the crony capitalist-influenced Department of Energy, and Democrat donor/investor/billionaire-ette Pat Stryker: A financially-screwed county government, hundreds who have lost their jobs, and a big, expensive toxic mess to clean up.
But it's no skin off the jet-setting heiress's nose as she continues to pour millions into hard-left causes, while the locals affected by the closure struggle.
And the environmental pressure groups wanted you to believe solar energy was "clean" and "green."
If that's true, then why do we keep hearing the words "toxic" and "hazardous" connected with the production of solar panels – especially with the companies that fail?
The past year was a dismal one for the passé idea that government would use taxpayer dollars responsibly, and that was nowhere more evident than with President Obama's initiatives to promote "clean" energy technology companies and projects with so-called "stimulus" funds and other public money. NLPC reported extensively on some of the most egregious examples.
The claim that the many beneficiaries (like Solyndra and Fisker Automotive) of President Obama's green energy stimulus program received their millions of taxpayer dollars based on measurable metrics rather than political favoritism has always been undermined by the circumstantial evidence, but documents obtained by Complete Colorado indicate the White House applied direct pressure to its own Department of Energy to reward (another) one of its allies.
As the now-bankrupt stimulus loan recipient Abound Solar filed for Chapter 7 (liquidation) bankruptcy in early July thanks largely to its defective modules, the Department of Energy still praised the company's work as "innovative" and cost competitive, all while it blamed Abound's failure on China for dumping underpriced panels on the market.
And now, despite the fact that Abound no longer exists, DOE is still withholding public information about the company because it claims it would harm the inactive business's competitive edge by disclosing trade secrets.
Bankrupt manufacturer Abound Solar, which is liquidating despite having received $70.9 million in taxpayer-backed loans from the Department of Energy, may leave government services in its former Weld County, Colo. home in trouble because of diminished property tax revenues.
We've heard this story before.
Much like taxpayer-backed Abound Solar – which just revealed it would declare bankruptcy – General Electric announced last week it would suspend construction of a solar panel manufacturing plant in Colorado. The excuse given was that GE plans to focus on research and development to improve the technology and efficiency of the panels it wants to produce.
The next time a green energy company announces it is intentionally slowing down for a transition phase, or that a technology breakthrough is just around the corner, or that all that's needed for future success is just a little more taxpayer "investment" – don't believe it. It's likely a lie.

Writing On The Move
A walk and site-specific workshop for writers of all levels of experience.
The factory was home to EMI from the 1900s right through to the 1970s, though most of the buildings date from the 20s - everything from Caruso to The Beatles was pressed here.
Compare old and new, derelict and refurbished, crowded and empty, sound and silence. Use the site as inspiration for writing. Work with all your senses to develop atmosphere, character and plot - there might even be some music.
There will be a brief introduction in the Vinyl Lounge, followed by a guided walk (roughly 45 minutes) around the interior of the refurbished Shipping building (including archive exhibition) and the currently derelict Cabinet building; and the exterior of the power house (if weather fair). Followed by a two-hour writing workshop back in the colourful Vinyl Lounge.
Workshop run by Cherry Potts, author of Mosaic of Air and Tales Told Before Cockcrow,editor of Stations, co-editor of London Lies and Lovers' Lies, and owner of Arachne Press.
Bring pens and a notebook suitable for make notes on the move. More technically advanced writing gear is welcome during the workshop, but might not be suitable while walking.
Caution: Some walking surfaces in the derelict areas are very uneven with varying surface materials, and there are one or two steps and thresholds to get over, and other potential tripping hazards. Sensible shoes essential!
If you have mobility issues please get in touch before booking. Booking essential as places are limited.
Ample parking on site, Hayes & Harlington Station 10-15min walk. Buses locally.

hey all,
i have a sun a1000 (12 disks) hooked up to a machine I just installed veritas
foundation suite on. I want to go RAID 5 across all the disks in the array.
slice up the virtual disk into 5 disks of a fixed size. ( i need to 'mirror'
another a1000 in case we need to drop all our data to this one)
anyway, when I put volumemanager in and run the install it finds my other
disks (don't touch), and finds the a1000 as 1 big set of about 57gb. what
RAID level is it using here? all 12 disks are 9gb disks (well, 8.7 at least).
where is the 57gb coming from? it is actually close to the number I am
looking for (the number on the raid manager/disk suite a1000) so it is probably
ok but I want to know what is going on.

The Home Quotes in Eragon
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
"I do not belong to either the Varden or the Empire. Nor do I owe allegiance to any man but myself." (38.8)
Murtagh: loner extraordinaire. Though we get more of Murtagh's back-story later in the novel, he appears initially as a man who is utterly without a home, save for himself. Like a snail, he seems to carry his home with him wherever he goes. He's way more deadly than your average snail, though. Do you think Murtagh's independence, not being tied to a home, is a benefit or a drawback for him?
Quote #8
Their surroundings were so foreign—it struck him for the first time exactly how far he was from home. A destroyed home, but still where his heart lay. (53.85)
In Tronjheim, surrounded by strangers, Eragon is struck full force by how far he's come. Even though his home is nothing more than matchsticks, thanks to those creepy Ra'zac, he still longs for it. What do you think Eragon misses, exactly? Is it the people? The scenery? Customs? All of it?
Quote #9
Durza as a young boy living as a nomad with his parents on the empty plains. […] Only it was not Durza then, but Carsaib. (58.67)
Just before he plunges his sword into his heart, Eragon is granted access to the Shade's memories via mental link. Does Durza the Shade's memories of home somehow make him less of a monster in your eyes? Does his fond attachment to home make him more human? Do you pity him in this moment? Or do you still wish the creep would get his just desserts?

My Creative Space...
I have had a busy week of working on Nathaniel and Kristi's wedding quilt. There have been times were I feel it's really working and other times when I have to walk away because I feel like it's getting busy. My goal with this quilt was to mix traditional log cabin blocks with some wonky blocks and use an improvisational method to create the layout. I've cropped the photo to show the width of the finished quilt which will be around 84" the length being 96". It's so big! I don't think I've even made a real twin size quilt before so this is huge to me!! When the center panel is complete I'm planning on sashing it with the yellow fabric which has little white and turquoise dots.
It was a huge relief for me when I gave Kristi her mug rug the other day and she really liked all the fabrics I chose Yay!
One week from today I will be on a plane going to the Sewing Summit!!! I am getting so excited if you have thought about going there's still time to register.
There's lots of Creative Spaces to check out here.

Spring 2014 Amherst College WGSS Courses
AMST 237 - Inside-Out: A People's History of Immigration
Tuesday 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.
Sujani K. Reddy
What does immigration to the United States look like from the perspectives of migrants themselves? How do hierarchies of race, citizenship, gender, class and sexuality shape immigrant inclusion and exclusion from the space of the nation-state? How does attention to these differences reveal the boundaries of the United States as a "nation of immigrants"? How do they open up avenues for conceptualizing the global, imperial dimensions of migration and the formation of the United States? This course explores these questions by focusing on a series of primary and secondary sources told from the "bottom up." These will be drawn from literature, autobiography, film, music, oral history, performance art, history, and works that attempt to combine these. We will analyze these materials in relation to the broad sweep of US immigration history from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Throughout we will focus on the relationship between "official" history and migrant subjectivities and the politics of cultural and historical production. This course will be conducted inside a correctional facility and enroll an equal number of Amherst students and residents of the facility. Permission to enroll will be granted on the basis of a questionnaire and personal interview with the instructor.
Sociology/Anthropology 102 Morgan Hall 542-2193
ANTH 335 - Gender: An Anthropological Perspective
Wednesday, 2:00 – 4:30 p.m.
Deborah B. Gewertz
This seminar provides an analysis of male-female relationships from a cross-cultural perspective, focusing upon the ways in which cultural factors modify and exaggerate the biological differences between men and women. Consideration will be given to the positions of men and women in the evolution of society, and in different contemporary social, political, and economic systems, including those of the industrialized nations.
Black Studies 108 Cooper 542-5800
BLST 236 – Black Sexualities
Thursday 2:30 – 5:10 p.m.
Khary O. Polk
From the modern era to the contemporary moment, the intersection of race, gender, and class has been especially salient for people of African descent—for men as well as for women. How might the category of sexuality act as an additional optic through which to view and reframe contemporary and historical debates concerning the construction of black identity? In what ways have traditional understandings of masculinity and femininity contributed to an understanding of African American life and culture as invariably heterosexual? How have black lesbian, gay, and transgendered persons effected political change through their theoretical articulations of identity, difference, and power? In this interdisciplinary course, we will address these questions through an examination of the complex roles gender and sexuality play in the lives of people of African descent. Remaining attentive to the ways black people have claimed social and sexual agency in spite of systemic modes of inequality, we will engage with critical race theory, black feminist thought, queer-of-color critique, literature, art, film, "new media" and erotica, as well as scholarship from anthropology, sociology, and history.
Mellon Tutorials
COLQ 334 01 - Archives of Childhood
Tuesday 1:00 - 3:30 p.m.
Karen J. Sanchez-Eppler
Childhood is elusive and so is the past. This Mellon Research Seminar explores the particular problems of researching the lives of children, and recognizes those challenges as exemplary of the difficulties of historical inquiry in general. We know that evidence from the past tends to come to us in bits and pieces, and that the motivations and perspectives of people in the past inevitably prove difficult to discern. Across class, gender, racial, religious, and geographic categories the historical records that children leave are often quite literally scribbles and scraps. Moreover, evidence of childhood almost always comes heavily mediated by adult hands and adult memories. This Mellon Research Seminar is devoted to developing research methods and locating research materials that can help us to access the experiences and perspectives of children in the nineteenth-century United States. We will focus on developing strategies for locating primary materials in archives that rarely use age as a category of analysis and on developing methods of interpretation for making sense of materials that may initially seem too scanty, too formulaic, too obedient, or even too cute to be historically meaningful. Research sites may include letters and diaries, school work and copy-texts, marginalia in children's books, institutional records, photographs, and the adult recollection offered by memoirs. This course is part of a new model of tutorials at Amherst designed to enable students to engage in substantive and collaborative research with faculty.
English 1 Johnson Chapel 542-2231
ENGL 314 – Sexuality and History in the Contemporary Novel
Monday, Wednesday 12:30 pm – 1:50 p.m.
Judith E. Frank
A study of American and British gay and lesbian novelists, from 1990 to the present, who have written historical novels. We will examine such topics as the kinds of expressive and ideological possibilities the historical novel offers gay and lesbian novelists, the representation of sexuality in narratives that take place before Stonewall, and the way these authors position queer lives in history. Novelists include Sarah Waters, Emma Donoghue, Jeanette Winterson, Leslie Feinberg, Alan Hollinghurst, Colm Tóibín, and Michael Cunningham.
Economics 315 Converse Hall 542-2249
ECON 412 – Applied Microeconomics Seminar
Tuesday, Thursday, 10 – 11:20 a.m.
Jessica Wolpaw Reyes
The field of applied microeconomics ("applied micro") is a fundamentally outward-looking branch of economics. Applied microeconomists take economic theories and methodologies out into the world and apply them to interesting questions of individual behavior and societal outcomes. This upper-level seminar will start with an overview of the field and its methodologies, followed by foundational material in econometric identification and behavioral economics. We will then address substantive areas such as environmental economics, the fetal origins hypothesis, antisocial behavior, economics of crime, and the economics of gender, race, and inequality. Specific topics will vary from year to year. Most of the course will be devoted to close reading of research papers, including discussion of the relative merits of particular theoretical and empirical methodologies. Students will participate actively in class discussion, make oral presentations, evaluate empirical data, and write analytical papers.
Film and Media Studies 14 Grosvenor 542-5781
FAMS 324 – Gender and Nationhood in South Asian Cinema
Monday, Wednesday 12:00 – 1:20 p.m.
Catherine S. Masud
This course will examine the interplay of gender and national identity in post-colonial South Asian cinema. We will begin by tracing the development of the film industry in the region with reference to the historical and political context. We will look at the different streams of South Asian cinema, from mainstream "Bollywood" movies to regional/national cinema to parallel and diasporic film. Within this framework, we will examine the shifting feminine and masculine representations of nationhood, and the way they intersect with religious identity. Specific topics include a critical analysis of the portrayal of women in the films of Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak, the mother-goddess construct of Indian nationalism in mainstream cinema, thematic treatments of the relationship between machismo and Hindu/Muslim revivalism, and gender and Muslim identity in the cinema of Bangladesh and Pakistan.
German 101 Barrett Hall 542-2312
GERM 360 – Performance
Wednesday, 12:00 pm – 3:00 p.m.
Heidi Gilpin
What is performance? What constitutes an event? How can we address a phenomenon that has disappeared the moment we apprehend it? How does memory operate in our critical perception of an event? How does a body make meaning? These are a few of the questions we will explore in this course, as we discuss critical, theoretical, and compositional approaches in a broad range of multidisciplinary performance phenomena emerging from European--primarily German--culture in the twentieth century. We will focus on issues of performativity, composition, conceptualization, dramaturgy, identity construction, representation, space, gender, and dynamism. Readings of performance theory, performance studies, gender studies, and critical/cultural studies, as well as literary, philosophical, and architectural texts will accompany close examination of performance material. Students will develop performative projects in various media (video, performance, text, online) and deliver a number of critical oral and written presentations on various aspects of the course material and their own projects. Performance material will be experienced live when possible, and in text, video, audio, digital media and online form, drawn from selected works of Dada and Surrealism, Bauhaus, German Expressionism, the Theater of the Absurd, Tanztheater, and Contemporary Theater, Performance, Dance, Opera, New Media, and Performance Art. A number of films, including Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari, Oskar Schlemmer's Das Triadische Ballett, Fernand Léger's Ballet Mécanique, and Kurt Jooss' Der Grüne Tisch, will be also screened. Conducted in English, with German majors required to do a substantial portion of the reading in German.
Law, Jurisprudence
and Social Thought 208 Clark House 542-2380
LJST 349 – Law and Love
Thursday 1:00 – 3:30 pm
Martha M. Umphrey
At first glance, law and love seem to tend in opposing directions: where law is constituted in rules and regularity, love emerges in contingent, surprising, and ungovernable ways; where law speaks in the language of reason, love's language is of sentiment and affect; where law regulates society through threats of violence, love binds with a magical magnetism. In this seminar, placing materials in law and legal theory alongside theoretical and imaginative work on the subject of love, we invert that premise of opposition in order to look for love's place in law and law's in love. First we will inquire into the ways in which laws regulate love, asking how is love constituted and arranged by those regulations, and on what grounds it escapes them. In that regard we will explore, among other areas, the problematics of passion in criminal law and laws regulating sexuality, marriage, and family. Second we will ask, how does love in its various guises (as, philia, eros, or agape) manifest itself in law and legal theory, and indeed partly constitute law itself? Here we will explore, for example, sovereign exercises of mercy, the role of equity in legal adjudication, and the means that bind legal subjects together in social contract theory. Finally, we will explore an analogy drawn by W. H. Auden, asking how law is like love, and by extension love like law. How does attending to love's role in law, and law's in love, shift our imaginings of both?
Philosophy 208 Cooper House 542-5805
PHIL 339 – Moral Blindness
Tuesday, Thursday 1:00 -2:20 pm
Jyl Gentzler, Daniel A. Koltonski
Since the sixteenth century, justice has often been represented in art as a woman wearing a blindfold. Since the latter half of the twentieth century, various social institutions in the United States have attempted to make moral progress by adopting policies that are race-, gender-, age-, sexuality-, religion-, disability-, etc. "blind." Twentieth-century American philosopher John Rawls has famously suggested that we would best understand what justice demands if we imagine ourselves deciding on the basic structure of society "behind a veil of ignorance." And eighteenth-century German philosopher Immanuel Kant argued that genuine friendship demands that we not pursue certain types of knowledge of one another. But blindness is not always a moral advantage. Certain types of ignorance lead to damaging stereotyping and biases against various groups of individuals. Ignorance of the lives that others must live and of the effects of past biases leads not inevitably to moral respect, but just as often to moral indifference. When does morality require ignorance and when does it require knowledge? In a world in which blind and blinding biases against certain groups of individuals lead to great moral wrongs, is justice really best served by remaining blind? Or should justice full-sightedly compensate for past and present wrongs to members of groups who were wronged by past or present blindnesses? Do different forms of social and economic relations foster different sorts of moral blindness and insight? Does occupying different social standpoints within social organizations foster different sorts of moral blindness or insight? To what extent are we responsible for the quality of our own moral vision and that of others?
Political Science 103 Clark House 542-2318
POSC 302 - Disabling Instituions
Tuesday, Thursday 11:30 am – 12:50 pm
Kristin Bumiller
This course will consider how institutions, often contrary to their intended purposes, serve to disable individuals and limit their life potential. We will examine a variety of institutions, including state bureaucracies, facilities designed to house people with mental and physical conditions, schools, and prisons. We will also consider a range of disablements, resulting from visible and invisible disabilities as well as gender, sexuality, race and class-based discrimination. We will explore how institutions might be redesigned to less rigidly enforce normalcy and to enable the political participation of individuals who currently experience social exclusion.
Psychology 321 Merrill 542-2217
PSYC 332 - Psychology of Adolescence
Wednesday 2:00 – 4:30 pm
Elizabeth J. Aries
In this course we will examine adolescent behavior from the perspective of psychologists, sociologists, historians, and anthropologists. We will look at theories of adolescent development, empirical research studies, first person accounts written by adolescents, and narratives about adolescents written by journalists and novelists. We will cover the psychological and social changes that accompany and follow the physiological changes of puberty and the acquisition of new cognitive capacities. Topics include the role of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, and sexuality in the formation of identity; changing relationships with family and peers; the development of intimate relationships; and the opportunities and constraints posed by neighborhoods and schools. The course aims to help students become more critical readers of and writers about the empirical and theoretical literature on adolescence.
Spanish 201 Barrett Hall 542-2317
SPAN 240 – Fact or Fiction: Representations of Latina
and Latin American Women in Film
Tuesday, Thursday 8:30 – 9:50 am
Lucia Suarez
From La Malinche (sixteenth century) to J. Lo, Latin American and Latina women have been sexualized, demonized, objectified, and even erased by narrative and visual representations. Lately, feminist texts have interrogated and challenged sexist and stereotypical master narratives; yet, a tension remains that repeatedly places women of color on a complex stage. Throughout this course, we will think critically about representations of women in Latin America and the U.S. Through select examples of major screen stars from Hollywood and Latin America, we will engage a politically informed historical analysis of the way Latino/a images have been constructed. Our study will begin with black and white films from the 1930s, depicting the role of the United States government and the needs of Latin American politics in the construction of Latina identity. We will then examine the intersections between literature, film, and history, studying, for example, the role of the Good Neighbor Policy in effecting the construction of Latin American images via a Hollywood lens. This is a bilingual class. Much of Latino/a literature is available in English only. However, our discussions and written assignments will be in Spanish.
SPAN 357 – Foundational Women Poets from South America
Monday, 2:00 – 4:00 pm
Conducted in Spanish. This course focuses on some of the most representative women poets from Latin America, including Spanish America, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Canonical authors studied include Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz (México), Salomé Ureña (República Dominicana), Gabriela Mistral (Chile), Dulce María Loynaz (Cuba), as well as Cecília Meireles, Hilda Hist, and Adélia Prado from Brazil. We will explore why their poetic works are considered "foundational and representative" and study the authors' historical and aesthetic motivations through reading, analysis and discussion.
Women and Gender Studies 14 Grosvenor 542-5781
WAGS 200 – Feminist Theory
Tuesday, Thursday 10 -11:20 am
Sahar Sadjadi
In this course we will investigate contemporary feminist thought from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. We will focus on key issues in feminist theory, such as the sex/gender debate, sexual desire and the body, the political economy of gender, the creation of the "queer" as subject, and the construction of masculinity, among others. This course aims also to think through the ways in which these concerns intersect with issues of race, class, the environment and the nation. Texts include feminist philosopher Judith Butler's Gender Trouble, anthropologist Kamala Visweswaran's Fictions of Feminist Ethnography, and feminist economist Bina Agarwal's The Structure of Patriarchy.
WAGS 202 – Black Women's Narratives and Counternarratives: Love and the Family
Aneeka Henderson
Tuesday, Thursday 11:30 am – 12:50 pm
Why do love and courtship continue to be central concerns in black women's literature and contemporary black popular fiction? Are these thematic issues representative of apolitical yearnings or an allegory for political subjectivity? Drawing on a wide range of texts, we will examine the chasm between the "popular" and the literary, as we uncover how representations of love and courtship vary in both genres. Surveying the growing discourse in media outlets such as CNN and the Washington Post regarding the "crisis" of the single black woman, students will analyze the contentious public debates regarding black women and love and connect them to black women's literature and black feminist literary theory. Authors covered will range from Nella Larsen to Terry McMillan and topics will include gender, race, class, and sexuality.
WAGS 229/ASLC229 - Gender and Nation in South Asian Cinema
Monday, Wednesday 12:00 pm – 1:50 pm
Tuesday, 2:30-4:30 p.m.
Catherine S. Masud
This course will examine the interplay of gender and national identity in post-colonial South Asian cinema. We will begin by tracing the development of the film industry in the region with reference to the historical and political context. We will look at the different streams of South Asian cinema, from mainstream "Bollywood" movies to regional/national cinema to parallel and diasporic film. Within this framework, we will examine the shifting feminine and masculine representations of nationhood, and the way they intersect with religious identity. Specific topics include a critical analysis of the portrayal of women in the films of Satyajit Ray and Ritwik Ghatak, the mother-goddess construct of Indian nationalism in mainstream cinema, thematic treatments of the relationship between machismo and Hindu/Muslim revivalism, and gender and Muslim identity in the cinema of Bangladesh and Pakistan.
WAGS 237/SOC 237 – Gender and Work
10:00 – 11:20 a.m.
Eunmi Mun
How has the rise of working women complicated modern workplaces and the idea of work? One challenge is how to value women's work fairly. One index of this challenge is that in workplaces across the world, women earn significantly less than men and are underrepresented in high status positions. What explains such gender gaps in the workplace? Taking an empirical, social-science perspective, this course will discuss three main aspects of gender and work. First, we will cover major theories of gender inequality, such as psychological stereotyping, social exclusion, structural barriers, and gendered socialization. Second, in learning about the sociological mechanisms of inequality in the workplace, we will expand our discussion to women's work in the family and examine how the conflicts individuals face when trying to have both career and family influence women's lives. Finally, we will discuss the mixed results of public policies proposed to reduce gender inequality and work-family incompatibilities and the possible reasons for those mixed results.
WAGS 239/REL261 01 – Women and Judaism
Monday 2:30 – 5:00 p.m.
A study of the portrayal of women in Jewish tradition. Readings will include biblical and apocryphal texts; Rabbinic legal (halakic) and non-legal (aggadic) material; selections from medieval commentaries; letters, diaries, and autobiographies written by Jewish women of various periods and settings; and works of fiction and non-fiction concerning the woman in modern Judaism. Employing an inter-disciplinary and cross-cultural approach, we will examine not only the actual roles played by women in particular historical periods and cultural contexts, but also the roles they assume in traditional literary patterns and religious symbol systems.
WAGS 300 – Ideas and Methods in the Study of Gender
Wednesday 2:00-4:00 p.m.
Amrita Basu
This seminar will explore the influence of gender studies and of feminism on our research questions, methods and the way we situate ourselves in relationship to our scholarship. For example, how can we employ ethnography, textual analysis, empirical data and archival sources in studying the complex ties between the local and the global, and the national and the transnational? Which ideas and methods are best suited to analyzing the varied forms of women's resistance across ideological, class, racial and national differences? Our major goal will be to foster students' critical skills as inter-disciplinary, cross cultural writers and researchers.
WAGS 328 – Science and Sexuality
Monday, 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
Sahar Sadjadi
This seminar explores the role of science in the understanding and making of human sexuality. The notion of "sexuality"--its emergence and its recent history--has an intimate relation to biology, medicine and psychology. In this course we explore the historical emergence of the scientific model of sexuality and the challenges to this model posed from other worldviews and social forces, mainly religion, social sciences, and political movements. We examine how sex has intersected with race and nationality in the medical model (for instance, in the notion of degeneration), and we look closely at the conceptualization of feminine and masculine sexual difference. We briefly address studies of animal models for human sexuality, and we examine in more depth case histories of "perversion," venereal disease, orgasm and sex hormones. We also compare contemporary biological explanations of sexuality with the nineteenth-century ones, for instance, the notion of the "gay gene" as compared to the hereditary model of "sexual inversion." Course readings include historical and contemporary sexological and biological texts (Darwin, Freud, Kinsey, etc.), their critiques, and contemporary literature in science studies, including feminist and queer studies of science. This seminar requires active participation, reading an array of diverse and interdisciplinary texts and preparing research-based papers and presentations.
WAGS 429 - Women Filmmakers of South Asia
Thursday 2:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Catherine S. Masud
This course will provide an overview of the major South Asian women filmmakers in the region and the diaspora: their cinematic language and vision, the feminist dimension of their work, and their place within the spectrum of global cinematic trends. Specific topics to be addressed include the challenges women face in the industry, a comparative view of their representations of gender, same sex desire, religious extremism, social conservatism and women's experience. We will examine the work of Deepa Mehta, Mira Nair, Nandita Das, Aparna Sen, Sabiha Sumar, and Gurinder Chadha among others. We have invited some of the filmmakers to lecture after the screenings of their respective films. There will be required film screenings in addition to the regular course meetings.

Former Finland President Wins Nobel Peace Prize
Issue 351
Ahtisaari ... thought himself disqualified
PARIS, October 11, 2008 – The great and the good of world diplomacy saluted the conflict resolution efforts of Martti Ahtisaari and said that there could be no worthier recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.
French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner praised the 71-year-old Finnish diplomat for "his courageous and determined action" to bring peace to Namibia , Kosovo , Indonesia 's Aceh and other world trouble spots.
"The Nobel Committee is paying tribute to the exceptional commitment of a man who has served peace in the world," Kouchner said in a statement.
Former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan, himself a Nobel peace laureate in 2001, said he had telephoned Ahtisaari to personally congratulate the Finn on the 10mn-kronor (1.02mn-euro, $1.42mn) award.
"No one better than he could win the Nobel Peace Prize. He is the only man I know who has made peace on three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe and I always found him ready to answer the call to make this world a better place," Annan said.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono lauded Ahtisaari for overseeing a 2005 peace agreement between his government and rebels in the breakaway province of Aceh , ending a three-decade conflict that killed 15,000 people.
"SBY (Yudhyono) wants to say his congratulations to Ahtisaari. Ahtisaari is the right choice to receive the Nobel prize," presidential spokesman Dino Patti Djalal told reporters.
"Ahtisaari is fair, tough, solution-oriented and we keep following his work. It means this man is a champion of peace," Djalal said.
The newest Nobel laureate also won unsurprising praise from Kosovo president Fatmir Sejdiu for helping lead the territory toward independence. "He is a man who has done a great job for peace in the different regions of the world," Sejdiu told reporters, adding that the award was "more than deserved, without any doubt".
There was angry condemnation however from the brother of late Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, a fierce opponent of Kosovo's independence.
Many Serbs complain that Ahtisaari was biased after talks on Kosovo ended without agreement and the Finn recommended "internationally supervised independence" for the disputed Balkan territory.
"It's rare for the Nobel Prize to be used for political goals, this is one of those," Borislav Milosevic, the former Yugoslav ambassador to Russia , told Echo of Moscow radio.
"I'm distressed by this decision and I do not consider Ahtisaari a deserving winner," he said.
The criticism from Milosevic was however a lone voice amidst a chorus of approval for the Ahtisaari award. Praise centered on the Finn's renowned skills as a mediator.
"In all of his missions, Marti Ahtisaari showed an ability to lead the difficult task of ensuring that the rights of each community and each person are respected and to lay the foundations of co-existence and, when the time is right, of reconciliation to prepare a lasting peace," said Kouchner.
The award of such a prize to Ahtisaari would "contribute to advancing the cause of conflict resolution," his statement said.
Finnish President Tarja Halonen and Prime Minister Matti Vanhanen both congratulated Finland 's first Peace Prize laureate, with Vanhanen saying "his commitment to peace and human rights is remarkable".
As for the man himself: "I'm surprised that the Norwegians can make such a decision. I thought that the fact that I have 12.5% Norwegian blood would have disqualified me," Ahtisaari said, referring to a Norwegian great grandfather. – AFP

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education and the union representing athletic coaches at the 14 state-owned universities have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract.
The coaches are represented by the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties, the same union that represents university faculty. Details of the tentative agreement, which would run through June 30, 2015, will be released upon its ratification.
The agreement, combined with a tentative agreement announced in late October with the State College and University Professional Association, means PASSHE has now successfully concluded negotiations with all of its bargaining units, with the exception of the unit representing faculty.

A new blog post is up on the Sharepoint Blog about the iShare app for iPad.
Check out the Sharepoint blog to see a tip on how to resolve issues with forms not submitting items properly.
Posted from the SharePoint Blog,
One of the major problems people have brought up with me is that they don't know what SharePoint sites they have access to. Fortunately with some help from other SharePoint bloggers out there on the internet, I've been able to deliver a solution to this problem finally.
If you point your browser to the Search Center, you'll see a new tab Sites I Have Access to. Clicking on this will bring up a list of every SharePoint site you have access to, excluding My Sites.
From the Sharepoint Blog,
With many users both on campus and at home opting to upgrade to Windows 7, I wanted to pass along a tiny tidbit of information. Windows 7 is available in 2 different platforms, 32 bit and 64 bit. Users opting for 64 bit should note that there are 2 versions of Internet Explorer installed.
When using internet Explorer, you should make note to use the link that says Internet Explorer, not Internet Explorer (64-bit). Using the 64 bit version can cause problems when accessing Sharepoint, like not being able to properly open Office files.
A new post has been submitted on the Sharepoint blog with links to 2 permission matrices to help administrators better understand the things users get access to based on thie permissions.
Sunday the enterprise applications team installed a new update for Nintex Workflow during the regularly scheduled maintenance window. Full details of the new features can be found on the Sharepoint blog.
Simple question, feedback is appreciated.
The last post in the series has been posted on the Sharepoint Blog. Enjoy!

Gary Graham's Life of Riley
Shy designer Gary Graham has a vivid imagination. The 20-look collection he presented at Milk Studios on Saturday evening came from a character he made up – an artist named Augustine Riley. The somewhat ghostly collection included the detritus of an artist who has inherited Ziegfeld Folly costumes from two aunts and lugs home an abandoned chair from the woods.
The faded colors and digital prints of the woods in spring – when they are brown and still leafless – made for a somber feel. Yet there was a killer dress in silk organza, embroidered at the top to resemble the forest floor, which then thinned at the waist and skirt as though someone – Ms. Riley? – had scattered it with pine needles.
To wear it, the transparent dress would require a slip. Perhaps it will come with one in production. The rest of the collection is daywear for the Bohemian girl, who tosses on an over-sized man's shirt, layers over it a burlesque bodice and tosses on a pair of jodhpurs or a floral skirt.
Mr. Graham lives in bucolic Honesdale, Pa., which is north of Scranton, where they do have cold spring times and needle-y forests. His character Ms. Riley is intriguing enough that I'd like to read the book, if there were one.

Lately, I've been craving oysters, crab, and mussels. I could write it off to the fact that I keep seeing rafts of the succulent treats on shopping forays. Like many things I've written of, however, I'm sure the shellfish love affair that began in my childhood with clams, oysters, shrimp and crab, was my father's doing. During summer vacations we spent many a dawn netting crabs off a New Jersey pier. We made monthly pilgrimages to all-you-can-eat Friday night shrimp feasts at Dad's VFW Post. On rare restaurant outings, we shared plates of clams on the half-shell like co-conspirators in on some briny secret when everyone else was ordering chowder.
One of Dad's favorite ditties was "Molly Malone." I learned to warble the song before I learned the alphabet. "In Dublin's fair city where the girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone, as she wheeled her wheelbarrow through streets broad and narrow, crying Cockles and Mussels, alive alive-oh!" For some reason, I just never put it all together. Molly. Mussels. Dublin. Ireland.
The Irish have been eating shellfish since humans first set foot on the Emerald Isle. Huge shell piles called middens have been found at every seaside archaeological site, which proves that shellfish were a dietary mainstay for Ireland's Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. Some mollusks were used to make the rare purple dyes reserved for garments of kings and princes, but for the most part shellfish provided a vital source of protein along with fish and marine vegetables like dulse, laver and carrageen moss. Eons later, during the Great Famine, the inhabitants of fishing villages survived best. Ironically, tales of starving famine victims desperately searching the beaches for food turned succeeding generations against shellfish. It took more than a hundred years for the bitter memory to fade.
Today, mussels and oysters take top billing on the list of Irish mollusks, but in times past all manner of shellfish were eaten. The catch was especially rich in Galway Bay, once the exclusive territory of fishermen who lived in a settlement near the Spanish Arch, known as the Cladach (Beach). A 19th century advertisement for fish sold on Claddagh Quay offers "...cods, lings, hawkfish, turbets, plaises, pilchards, liberal of oysters, scallops, cokles, musles, razures, and plentie of lobsters, crabs and shromps."
The wide-open Atlantic off Ireland's western coast has always been known for its abundance. Tomas O' Crohan, who was born on Great Blasket Island in 1856, wrote about local seafood in his masterpiece The Islandman. "The food I got was eggs, lumps of butter, fish, limpet and winkles – a bit of everything going from sea to land...My mother had brought a dish of limpets from the strand with her...She was roasting the limpets and throwing them to us one by one like a hen with chickens."
According to the Gaelic proverb: Ri sea Diuilicini ach ria tualaigh sea bairnight (Mussels are the food of kings, limpets are the food of peasants.) Certainly mussels are bigger, more flavorful and easier to prepare in a myriad of ways than tiny limpets. But it was their easily acquired abundance that made the blue-black bivalves a primary food item for rich and poor alike. Mussels grow almost everywhere. They are found clinging to offshore boulders, adhered to the rocks of pebble beaches, and bound up in the seaweeds of muddy estuaries. When the tides retreat, they are effortlessly harvested by hand or with nets. In his book Irish Folkways, author E. Edtyn Evans related how the waters off the coast of Donegal were once home to so many mussels that they were regularly scraped off the rocks and used to fertilize potato plantings.
Today, thanks to huge offshore farming operations, mussels are the commonest shellfish sold in Ireland, and thus the reason they are found on practically every pub menu. While mussel farming was perfected by the French, the method was actually invented in 1235 A.D. by a Corkman named Walton who was shipwrecked in the Bay of Aiguillon on the west coast of France. Desperation being the mother of invention, Walton devised an ingenious way of trapping sea birds with a net attached by long poles to offshore mudflats. When he discovered that the poles became covered in mussels, the savvy Irishman abandoned bird hunting for full-time mussel farming.
Today mussels are most commonly farmed on ropes suspended from rafts that are anchored in shallow waters. Tiny mussels are seeded onto the ropes, and when the spawn reach a mature size, the ropes are simply pulled up and harvested. Until recently, most of Europe's mussels were grown in the Mediterranean Sea, but it is now so polluted that Ireland's pristine waters have become the principal mussels source for the European market.
One of Ireland's largest mussel farms permanently bobs in Cork County's Bantry Bay. Washed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream and sheltered from winds by the mountains that surround it, the bay, which is one of the world's deepest, provided safe haven to sailing ships for centuries. Then, in the early 1980s local fishermen began setting out mussel pots in the calm waters. What began as an experiment has grown to become a major industry supplying jobs for hundreds of people and earning millions of euros in export trade annually.
Unlike the more meaty mussel, cockles are mere tiny morsels, but delicious nonetheless and abundant as well. In times past, fishermen believed that cockles could not be eaten "until they had three drinks of April water." Immediately after the third April tide, cockle pickers flocked to the beaches. Where the sand curled like a worm was the place to dig. Sometimes the meat was extracted from the shell with a pin and eaten on the spot, but usually the cockles were taken home, washed to remove the sand, and boiled in salted water. Cockle Pie (cooked cockles and grated onions baked in a pastry shell) was once a favorite supper dish.
Few people go to the bother of gathering mussels or picking cockles anymore, it being easier to purchase from the wide assortment of seafood offered by a neighborhood fishmonger or supermarket. But Molly has not been forgotten. On Dublin's Grafton Street, a bronze statue of a maid pushing her cart laden with mollusks pays eternal homage to the women who once sold cupfuls of cockles and mussels from wheelbarrows in the Liberties. We always will love you, sweet Molly Malone. Sláinte!

I'm always looking for crafts that use recycled materials because a) it saves me money from having to buy craft supplies, and b) it helps save the planet! I don't drink bottled water myself, but I raided the recycling bin at work and in just 3 days I had enough bottles for 10-pin bowling. Awesome. I may get a few side-eyes from digging through the trash, but you can make some truly incredible crafts with what people normally throw out. It's become such a common occurrence at work that my co-workers are now asking me what I want before they throw it out, lol!
This was a really fun craft to do. It took very little time and supplies and the kids ADORE playing with this. SO.MUCH.FUN! I love that these are painted from the inside so they are totally safe to play with. I don't have to worry about my son licking or scratching the paint off. I'm sure moms of boys out there can totally relate with that! Here's how you make them:
What you'll need:
10 plastic bottles
10 shades of paint
a tiny bit of water
a ball – I got mine at the dollar store
optional – glue gun
Remove cap from bottles and clean thoroughly.
Set up your bowling pins, grab a ball and have fun!

STOCKTON – Shortly after 5 p.m. Wednesday, two women entered a Hammer Lane store just west of Etna Street and began taking merchandise and hiding it inside a purse. After they went outside, they were confronted by a female store security guard, police reported.
There was a struggle for the purse before a third person approached and, along with one of the shoplifters, began beating and kicking the guard. All three suspects fled on foot in an unknown direction, according to a report.
The suspects were described as a 20-year-old black woman, 5 feet 5 and 200 pounds wearing a black tank top and gray leggings; a 20-year-old black man, 5 feet 3 and 120 pounds wearing a black-and-red hat, black shirt and dark jeans; and a 20-year-old black woman, 5 feet 7 and 140 pounds, wearing a red tube top and blue-jean overall shorts, according to police.

I enjoy this, the color is very amazing, the design is very creative, it combines the elegant classic oxford shoes with the feminine heels, and the height is very comfortable to walk (block type), It's glossy, well-made. I recommend.
These shoes look just like they do in pictures. They are super cute. At first, the fit was a bit snug since my feet are a bit wide but after wearing them a couple times it gets more comfortable.
looks exactly like in the photo. The leather/material is quite soft surprisingly.
The only downside is, even though I bought my size, the shoes are a snug since my feet are on the wider side. Recommend to get a size or half size bigger if buying
The shoes are absolutely adorable, it doesn't feel heavy when you wear them. However I have faced one problem is that the soles on the shoes aren't that durable and confortable (but still better than a lot of heels I have worn).
To battle this problem, I wear an extra insoles or sometimes socks to make it easier and more comfortable to walk in.
A YesStyle Exclusives brand, yeswalker offers stylish shoes that are comfortable enough to take you wherever, whenever. Choose from the whimsical and flashy to the essential and classic to round out your wardrobe. yeswalker has on-trend shoes for every conceivable occasion so make sure to check back every month for the newest styles!

Churches have sometimes shared their stages with celebrities, illusionists and strongmen as they seek fresh ways to reach their communities. Texas City's CrossPointe Church will feature the strongmen known as the Power Team in what Kim Terrell, the team's vice-president, calls "a famous, worldwide, action-packed, exciting, wholesome, family-focused, live reality show."
The Dallas-based group didn't originally plan to minister in churches. Back in 1975, the team was instead trying to interest prisoners in the gospel.
