2/22/2017 » 2/26/201786th Annual MLA Conference and 1st Pan-American Regional IAML Meeting
Title of Research:MLA Survey of Personnel Characteristics
Investigators:Mark PuenteCoordinator of Digital Projects/Special CollectionsMusic LibraryUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
Susannah ClevelandHead LibrarianMusic Library and Sound Recordings ArchivesBowling Green State University
AboutThis research project will replicate the 1997 study conducted by the Working Group Surveying Music Library Personnel Characteristics of the Music Library Association (MLA) with some revisions to the original instrument to address the needs for clarification and additional study articulated by the working group. The study seeks to ascertain the degree to which this personnel profile has changed in the last decade and to test theories about how the profession has evolved since the original study. Simultaneously, the current demographic make-up of the profession will be studied and compared to the results of the original survey in order to ascertain trends in representation of ethnic minorities in music and fine-arts librarianship. These numbers will be contrasted with national trends in the library and information profession and to representation of traditionally underrepresented ethnic minority groups in the constituencies we serve.
ParticipationParticipation in the study is completely voluntary and anonymous. You need not be a member of MLA to participate. Participation is encouraged from anyone interested in music and performing arts librarianship. The survey will be available to respondents from January 30, 2009 to March 16, 2009. Data analysis for the study will take place in early 2009. Results will be made readily available to the MLA Board, membership, and all interested parties. Dissemination of results will be made through presentations and publications contingent upon acceptance of proposals and abstracts for those events.
Risks and discomfortsThere are no known risks associated with this research.
Potential benefitsThe study will produce data that will serve as a snapshot for current music librarianship. Such a picture will help students considering the profession to have a better understanding of the current field, will guide music librarians in presenting a clearer assessment of the specific needs of music libraries to their administrations, and will help the Music Library Association to explore specifc tactics to foster diversity within the organization.
ConfidentialityAll information gathered from the study will remain confidential. Participation is completely anonymous; your e-mail address and name will not be requested, and as such, your identity as a participant can not be disclosed to any unauthorized persons. Further, no institutional affiliations or identifying personal details will be shared in presentations or publications that result from the survey.
AgreementIf you agree to participate in this study, click on "Agree" below. If you choose not to participate, click on "Exit."
Approved – BGSU HSRB – Effective 10/2008/ Expires 10/2009 (renewed 10/2009 and 10/2010)

Digital Editions for Farm Publications
(PLEASE NOTE: Nonpaid Multi-copy Same Addressee digital editions are not eligible for inclusion as qualified circulation on AAM reports.)
For Qualification and Reporting of Digital Editions the policy shown below should be followed:
- The label "Digital Editions" will be used to describe all copies distributed via electronic or paperless means.
- A Digital Edition will be defined, as a publication delivered digitally that is consistent in both editorial and advertising content and maintains the general flow of the publication's print version.
- Both "push" and "pull" methods of distribution are acceptable. Therefore, notification to the subscriber of the products availability on the website qualifies a delivery.
- Digital only subscribers are required to provide a land address for reporting purposes in paragraph 4, Geographic Analysis. However, should a digital only subscriber fail to provide a usable land address, the subscribers would be reported as "Email Address Only," but would not be subject to the 5% limit as articulated in Rule E 5.1 (d), Geographic Analysis.
- Copies identified as delivery issue "bounce backs" may be included in qualified circulation for a limited time frame provided the delivery issue associated with the bounce back is rectified, or the subscriber is purged from the subscriber file in accord with the following scale:
a. Daily 10 issues b. Weekly 4 issues c. Biweekly 2 issues d. Monthly 1 issue
In some situtations, the initial delivery of a subscriber's digital edition may take place outside of the publisher's normal means of distribution, or subsequent to the delivery of the publication's main file. In those situations the above schedule is effective with the next scheduled delivery of the main file (both print and digital editions). As a result, any initial digital edition distribution, which is served outside of the publisher's normal distribution channel or subsequent to the distribution to the main file, would not be subject to the "bounce back" schedule. The initial digital edition distribution would not be eligible for inclusion with qualified circulation.
- Mid-term conversion from Print only to Digital only may be completed at the publisher's discretion provided the subscriber has the opportunity to "opt-out" of the conversion and retain the print subscription or terminate the subscription all together.
- Digital editions are to be reported separately in all aspects of AAM reports utilizing the following format:
- Print only
- Digital only
- Print and digital (unduplicated)
- Total
- Publishers may establish a separate basic price for digital editions, because digital distribution is subject to separate cost considerations that may facilitate different pricing from the original print product. The following parameters apply (Per Rule E 1.2 Prices):
1. Digital Editions
- Only one basic price for field served for each regularly established duration.
- Only one basic price for subscriptions sold outside the file served for each regularly established duration.
- Only one basic price for each country or geographical area may be stipulated by the publisher.
- Only one basic price for field served for each regularly established duration.
- Only one basic price for subscriptions sold outside the field served for each regularly established duration.
- Only one scale of such basic prices for each country or geographical area may be stipulated by the publisher.
- Publishers are required to report Internet/email generated production as a separate line item in paragraph 3B, Age of Source Data Analysis of AAM reports.
- Paid Multi-copy Same Addressee sales and license agreements will be reported as qualifed circulation in AAM reports provided the purchaser pays at least one cent for each subscription.
- Publications are required to provide a statement of digital delivery methodology in the explanatory paragraph of AAM reports.

Well said - takes time to adjust to the change in thinking, doesn't it?
I might be stating the complete obvious here...but tonight as I was sitting down eating a big juicy steak for dinner I realized how nice it was to be eating fat and not actively being stressed about it. I can't remember the last time I felt this way.
After years of searching the supermarket shelves for the lowest fat percentage possible, working myself up if I ate anything oily or buttery and even refusing full fat food products like the plague - I can't believe that I can actually eat this way happily and stress free. I used to berate myself if I ate some of the things I'm enjoying now.
I feel the best and the most at peace that I have in years and I think that Primal has helped me decrease, if not completely eliminate my food demons. Which is massive, after years of disordered eating patterns.
So I just had to share this somewhere!!
Well said - takes time to adjust to the change in thinking, doesn't it?
cream! butter! full fat yoghurt! oil! MEAT!!
one door closes another opens!!
Good on ya Bec. Great when it dribbles down your chin, isn't it
Four years Primal with influences from Jaminet & Shanahan and a focus on being anti-inflammatory. Using Primal to treat CVD and prevent stents from blocking free of drugs.
Eat creatures nose-to-tail (animal, fowl, fish, crustacea, molluscs), a large variety of vegetables (raw, cooked and fermented, including safe starches), dairy (cheese & yoghurt), occasional fruit, cocoa, turmeric & red wine
LOVE fat! Except - lamb fat! Why does that taste different? It'sOK when the roast is just out of the oven - but cold ... Yuk!
Tonight - PORK! All of that goes!
YIPPEE! Sometimes I can't believe it's so simple.
(I love it when I'm the last American on (it's 12:31 a.m. here, West Coast time) and all the Aussies and Kiwis are here.)
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." -- Hippocrates
Exactly my experience too. Isn't it amazing?
Zone diet on and off for several years....worked, but too much focus on exact meal composition
Primal since July 2010...skinniest I've ever been and the least stressed about food
Mmmmmmm butter! I no longer need to eat bread or popcorn to get my butter fix--I just eat it when I want! Fun at a restaurant to eat the whipped butter with a spoon... yum!

It looks to me like it is > succumbing to two fallacies about reasoning about trust: 1) > "transitive trust"; 2) the difference between "I trust X" vs > "I trust X for purpose P". You are correct, of course. I wrote an inappropriately short description of a process that humans handle in a rather sophisticated way (with or without computers). To find a system that Bob recommends as a money transfer site, I would ask Bob. If I asked Bob in email or electronic chat, he would just send me a reference to the site he uses. But if I were talking to Bob on the phone, he might just say, "Look up PayPal on the search tool I sent you a reference to, I'm sure that'll take you to the right place." This is using bob's trust in his search engine to duplicate bob's own answer for this particular question. Deciding to engage with a money handling service like paypal is something that people actually treat like a serious decision. The decision to sign up with such a service is taken based on large numbers of cues, some subliminal, in which we are taking in the reactions of the people around us to the idea of getting such a service, and their reactions to individual candidate services in that category. I don't think anyone fully understands the process by which humans accumulate evidence to form a trust relationship. An interesting way to interact with such sublime parts of the human mind is to make our computer systems support the human intuition/deduction systems. Google seems more relevant than Verisign for such support. > To put it another way, maybe this isn't one of those problems > with a perfect and elegant principled solution.

An invasion of fibroblasts stimulated by the naturally occurring protein interleukin-13 (IL-13) is partially responsible for changes that occur in the airways of asthma patients, according to researchers at Duke University.
The paper "LL Leptin Modulates the Expression Of Procollagen 1± In Airway Fibroblasts In Asthma" was published online in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. The study is the latest effort by researchers to better understand the processes involved in airway remodeling that can cause breathing difficulties in patients with asthma.
The Duke team enrolled 37 subjects including 20 men and women with mild asthma who were not taking inhaled corticosteroids and 17 healthy controls. All asthmatic subjects were diagnosed with asthma for at least one year prior to study enrollment. Airway cells were collected from all patients using bronchoscopy. After application of IL-13, invading cells were counted using microscopy.
While no significant difference in airway fibroblast invasion was observed between asthmatic subjects and controls, the addition of IL-13 resulted in a significant increase in airway fibroblast invasion in asthma patients as compared to normal controls, the study found. Airway fibroblasts of asthmatic subjects invaded in greater numbers than those of control subjects.
"We show for the first time that airway fibroblasts, isolated directly from patients with asthma and stimulated with IL-13, invade in significantly greater numbers than those isolated from normal control subjects," says Jennifer Ingram, Ph.D., assistant research professor of medicine at Duke University.
"In this novel mechanism of airway remodeling in asthma patients, IL-13 acts in combination with other mediators produced by cells in the airways: transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), which causes cellular changes, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which act to break down proteins," Dr. Ingram adds. "Together, these agents cause cellular changes that lead to loss of lung function in asthma patients."
During airway remodeling, many of the fibroblast responses that occur are comparable to the interaction between cancer cells and connective tissue cells called stromal fibroblasts. Studies have shown these fibroblasts actively produce pro-invasive factors that result in metastasis. Fibroblast production of TGF-β1 has been implicated as a key pro-invasive factor in colon, breast, and squamous carcinomas. IL-13, a critical regulator of the allergic response, has been implicated in cellular invasion in cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.
"The invasion of fibroblasts into the airway in asthmatic patients is one of several key features of airway remodeling," Dr. Ingram states. "In a normal response, fibroblasts begin wound healing by depositing proteins and interacting with inflammatory cells. In asthma, this wound healing and remodeling response in the airway becomes deranged and uncontrolled, leading to increased numbers of fibroblasts invading the airway and contributing to fibrosis with diminished lung function over time."
The study focused on the effect of IL-13 in patients with mild asthma. Future studies should explore whether fibroblasts in severe asthmatics are more invasive, Dr. Ingram says.
"In addition, goals of future studies should focus on specific MMPs that are involved in remodeling as well as characterization of the gene profiles of invading fibroblasts in order to further define this feature of airway remodeling," she adds. "Development of therapies specifically targeting IL-13 may play a key role in preventing airway remodeling in asthma."

BLOSSBURG - Following an executive session before a regular meeting Monday, Southern Tioga School Board President Ivan Erway announced the decision had been made to remove the action items from the agenda - namely, the vote on the contract of Superintendent Keith Yarger, as well as the personnel manager contract action item.
Yarger's five-year contract is not up until June 30, 2014.
At the announcement, the approximately 200 people in attendance broke out in loud and sustained applause.
Before the board could start moving through the rest of the agenda, several people spoke about what they saw as the board's attempt to push through an action item without discussing it publicly, namely the extension of Yarger's contract.
John Ritter, of Sullivan Township, told the board that it "seems to me that any agenda item to be voted on, shouldn't that be brought up in the work session and discussed publicly before it is brought up for a vote?" also to loud applause.
"Also I would like to know who decided to put it on the agenda? The board as a whole, one? Five? Who decided?"
Again there was no answer from the board, but loud applause from the audience.
In another controversial decision, the board agreed to change the way it votes on school closing measures, to make sure there is one school in each community, an action that Joseph Widger, of Sullivan Township, said amounted to the board "railroading" its will on future board members.
"A lot of these people sitting here didn't know about this until today. I question if it is legal what you are doing. You won't answer. You want to hamstring the hands of the new people coming in on the school board and it's not fair to them or the taxpayers. If you run your household the way you run the board, you are in trouble too," he said.
Following a presentation by Yarger on two scenarios to close either North Penn High School or Liberty High School, the board voted to table any action on either of them.
Both scenarios would result in a necessary tax hike per year of nearly 3 percent and neither one would avoid large deficits by the 2015-16 school year, even with annual tax increases and the layoff of multiple staff.
Interim Business Manager Brian Driscoll said he could not recommend either option to the board.
Steve Guiliaume, of Liberty Township, told the board by tabling any action on the options that they were "kicking that can down the road and waiting 'til the election to let that board figure out what to do."
"You need to start working together. Please put something forward that makes sense," he said.
Sharon Miller, of Trout Run, commented on the third-day enrollment figures released Friday showing a loss of 117 students this year, which will cost the district about $4,500 per diem per student, according to Driscoll.
"That's about a half million dollars we are losing, and our cyber school bill will be higher also, so we are looking at a deficit of a half-million dollars-plus in our budget before anything else," she said.
She asked the board what the plan was to make up that money in the budget and got no response from the board - but applause from the audience.
Robin Stetter, of Liberty, pointed out that the district isn't doing anything to find out why it is losing so many students, prompting board member Frank Kollar to make a motion to survey students who left the district in a required exit interview, which the board approved pending input from its solicitor Chris Lantz on its legality.
A special board meeting was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 8 prior to the regular work session to further discuss the options.

MUSKEGON COUNTY, MI – Meditation is usually associated with Buddhists and Hindus, but it also has a history in Christianity.
St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1006 Third St., will hold a morning of "centering prayer" from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, with lunch to follow. The experience is free, but a donation of $15 is suggested for those who want to eat lunch.
Centering prayer is a Christian form of meditation, which has roots in ancient practices where a person would go off into a remote area to encounter God in silence, St. Paul's member Linda Reynolds said.
"It is a prayer without words," she said.
The hope is that silence would enable a person to connect to a higher power and find some perspective by letting go of everyday concerns, Reynolds said.
Two facilitators will lead the prayers. It's suggested that participants bring a journal or notebook for reflection. For more information, or to register, call the church, (231) 744-0377.
"Chicken Soup for the Orphan's Soul"
Have you ever thought about adopting a child or taking in foster children? Forest Park Covenant Church is holding a dinner for adoptive parents, and those who want to be.
The "Chicken Soup for the Orphan's Soul" dinner will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at Forest Park Covenant Church, 3815 Henry St.
Adopted children, adoptive parents and their biological children and people who work with agencies placing children in adoptive and foster families will talk about the experience of bringing a new child into a family, church member Lynn Kamps said.
Thousands of children in Michigan are eligible for adoption, Kamps said. While many families couldn't afford an international adoption, the fees are much lower for domestic adoptions.
Forest Park has had an "orphan care" ministry for about four years to support adoptive and foster families, Kamps said.
"They're not going to be this little island unto themselves," she said.
The dinner is free, but people who want to come are asked to RSVP by calling Kamps, (231) 557-9396.
Boots for little feet
Karry Doriot's teenage daughter wanted to buy a family in need some toys for the upcoming holiday season, but when the family put their heads together they decided to go bigger.
Doriot and her two daughters are placing boxes in schools to collect snow boots for children whose parents can't afford them. When kids don't have boots, they have to wear wet shoes throughout the school day, which can be uncomfortable, Doriot said.
Her daughter, Lizzie, who is ninth grade at Mona Shores, wanted to donate some of her savings to a family for Christmas in response to the Catholic Church's Year of Faith, but the two and Doriot's younger daughter Erica came up with the boot idea to make a bigger impact, she said.
"They do a winter coat drive, but I never hear of anybody doing a boot drive," she said.
Love INC will help distribute the boots to families in need, Doriot said. Collection boxes have been set up in the North Muskegon school building, Mona Shores High School and Mona Shores Middle School. New and gently used boots in sizes suitable for children in elementary and middle school will be accepted, she said. The drive doesn't yet have an ending date.
"I'm more concerned with getting as many boots as we can," she said.
People who would like to make a monetary donation can send a check to Love INC in the care of Matt Kaley, 2735 E. Apple Ave. Suite A, Muskegon, MI 49442.
Baking and breaking bread
If you've never met a carbohydrate you didn't like, this is your chance to indulge, and maybe learn something about other cultures.
First Lutheran Church, 1206 Whitehall Road, is hosting "Baking and Breaking of Bread from Ancient Faith and Cultural Traditions" from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 15.
The Rev. Chris Anderson, who bakes a variety of Eastern European and Jewish breads to raise memory for the Shoah (Holocaust) remembrance service each year agreed to expand his culinary horizons for this event.
Anderson said he is considering breads from Mexico, Tanzania, Morocco, Great Britain, China and American Indian cultures, but which breads participants actually get to taste will depend on what ingredients he can find. As they taste each type of bread, he will explain a little about the culture. Some of the breads have cultural or religious significance, he said, while others are just for nourishment.
Bread has a long history, Anderson said, with the first leavened loaves produced in Egypt. Bread also had political significance, because the Romans gave it out to the poor during the sumptuous games they hosted, he said.
"To me it's an amazing history," he said.
People who would like to attend can RSVP to Krys Bjork, (231) 747-8138. The event is free, but a head count is needed since each person will get a small sample of the different breads.
Faith and hockey
The Muskegon Lumberjacks will hold a "Family Faith Night" Nov. 17. They play Youngstown at 7:15 p.m. that evening.
Rev. Terry Williams of Unquenchable Fire Ministries said he helped put together an interdenominational Good Friday event to bring different kinds of congregations together. Thousands of people attended, he said, so he expects a good turnout for the Lumberjacks' faith night.
"It happened without us bringing in some famous evangelist," he said. "This event, I'm sure, will be the largest gathering of the community of faith in Muskegon this year."
A concert with local gospel artists will precede the game at 6 p.m., and churches are collecting nonperishable food to donate to area food pantries, Lumberjacks Chief Operating Officer Patrick Day said.
Representatives from Muskegon's 1 in 21 health initiative also will be present, Williams said. Churches often give away food to people in need, he said, but some of those people may not know how to prepare it in healthy ways.
"We want to not just give you food, but we want to give you the information to proportion it correctly," he said.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children if purchased in advance by calling (231) 724-5225, or at www.insidemuskegonlumberjacks.com.
Free Thanksgiving dinner
Hope Lighthouse Ministries, 2640 Peck St., is holding a free Thanksgiving dinner and winter coat giveaway for those in need from 1 to 3 p.m. Nov. 17.
Donations of winter clothing and food for the dinner still are needed. To donate, drop items off at Fire Escape Cafe, 2731 Peck St. For more information, call (231) 737-4673.
Day of silence
St. Paul's Episcopal Church, 1006 Third St., will hold its last "quiet day" from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 1.
People who attend are asked to leave their phones and other electronic devices at home and to either bring a quiet hobby, read a book from the church's collection or just pray or meditate in silence. Lunch is provided, with a suggested donation of $5.
For more information, call Linda Reynolds at (231) 744-0377.
Building in Appalachia
A group of 16 people from United Methodist Church of the Dunes in Grand Haven traveled to Red Bird Mission in rural Kentucky where they helped improve a Methodist mission center during a one-week work camp.
Victoria Reis, who co-chairs the church's mission work, said the group removed 28 tree stumps, pulled up moldy carpet in a building used for public meetings, helped package the handicrafts local people make to sell at fairs and over the internet and did some plumbing and electrical work.
The connection between Grand Haven and Kentucky started in the 1970s, when a church member who was a nurse went down to work there and decided to stay, Reis said. The area around the mission is one of the poorest in the United States, so those working there try to help local teens to finish high school and go on to college.
"That's how they're hoping to get these kids to break the cycle of poverty in Appalachia," she said.

Erie Playhouse's 'Spamalot' offers nonsensical fun
If the mention of coconut-carrying swallows, limbless knights, killer rabbits and elusive shrubberies gives you the giggles, the Erie Playhouse will make your goblet of guffaws overflow. Almitra Clerkin directs a close-knit comedic cast in "Monty Python's Spamalot," a jocular journey of Arthurian absurdity that opens the theater's 2013-14 season with flair.
Shawn Clerkin's bombastic Arthur is a smilingly befuddled monarch attempting to remain dignified as insanity swirls around him. Along with Kate Amatuzzo, who pairs exemplary vocal acrobatics with a sly spoofing of Broadway divas as the Lady of the Lake, Clerkin helps ground this musical in which most of the actors slip in and out of wildly different roles with impressive frequency.
You'll need a quick eye to catch all the characters of Chris Bucci, who primarily inhabits the endearingly anxious Sir Robin. Rich Tryzbiak's hotheadedness as Sir Lancelot has deep-seated underpinnings. Patrick Thiem undergoes a startling transformation to become Sir Galahad, and Mike Hayes brings a particularly youthful presence to Sir Bedevere. Each actor is hilarious on his own, but they hit a zany zenith bouncing off one another.
Don Baxter, Michael Burns, T.J. Faulkner, David Mitchell, Bruce Rockwell and Allen Smith create mirthful mayhem as goons, while Charles Corritore evokes sympathy as Arthur's little-lauded sidekick Patsy. Will Steadman's flowery Prince Herbert stirs the hearts of hopeless romantics.
Andrew Rainbow's orchestra ably adds pizazz to the lively numbers and sometimes contributes instruments for auditory jokes. Joe Hassler's versatile set is colorful and inventive, with a multi-windowed castle contributing especially well to the humor of two iconic sketches. The costumes by Angela Howell and Crystal Corritore often lend a striking humor.
The rib-tickling cast bios reveal how wickedly funny this fellowship is. By the time the cast converges for the final time, it's evident these kooky questers are as golden as the grail they seek.

If you want to 'prove' a generation time, use a timestamping service
like Verisign's timestamps. However, we're talking about ways of
making it operationally easier to administer and operationally easier
for devices to cry out 'hey, we're using a key that's coming up on its
expiration' -- defined by a delta calculation on the device itself,
NOT an enforced "key expiration" date defined at generation time.
> If the timestamp isn't generated by a trusted third party, I don't
> think it's of much value.[/color]
Remember: the private key is only ever read by the entities with
ultimate trust, by definition. If you can't trust yourself, who can
you trust? If no third party is ever going to see the timestamp, why
should it matter if it's generated by a third party?
A key can be separated from its timestamp and a newer timestamp
applied to it. It can be separated from its timestamp and an older
timestamp applied to it. But, under the rules of PKCS#12, the person
doing so must be able to decrypt it to have access to it in order to
do so -- meaning, they either have to be authorized to decrypt it or
break the container cipher or MAC.
Why can't metadata about the key be included in that container, just
to avoid some of the bookkeeping hassles? Like, how do you know which
key you've exported into a particular file? By the filename? What
happens when your directory structure gets hosed and chkdsk or fsck
finds it and puts it into lost+found? Once it's there, how do you
figure it out?

Based on a selected number of inscribed wooden tablets (mokkan ), this lecture addresses certain aspects of the Nagaoka capital's existence. The tablets afford a uniquely detailed view of Nagaoka, for which there was scarcely any evidence at all. Until the discovery of the first tablets in the 1970s, historians have had largely to base their reconstructions on the historical accounts and on the remains and artefacts yielded by excavations. Although this body of evidence is by no means negligible, it does contain immense gaps. Because the inscribed wooden tablets can be studied in two ways, either as artefacts or as literary sources, they bridge the gap between the historical records and the archaeological evidence and add an enormous, invaluable amount of depth and detail to both. Unlike the literary sources, the texts preserved on the tablets contain details concerning daily life and government business that were deemed too trivial to be worthy of inclusion in the chronicles. They also provide firsthand information that has not been edited to suit certain goals. As archaeological material, the wooden tablets often aid the researcher in identifying and dating the context in which they were found.

People are quick to note that a transhistorical piece is less likely to exhibit the same complete expertise in all literary periods as a specialist, historicist approach. This is true, but it is also true that the historicist critic may overlook the influence of a much earlier text, and that this oversight may prevent that critic from grasping a work's full significance.
This one day colloquium is being jointly organised by Berit Ĺström (Umeĺ) and Sarah Annes Brown (Anglia Ruskin). It is aimed at anyone working in the field of English literature (or related disciplines) who has interest or experience in transhistorical research. The proceedings will include both formal papers and workshops/discussion sessions.
If you would like to offer a paper (20 minutes) please send an abstract to email@example.com by 1 June 2010. We welcome papers which either exemplify transhistorical research or are reflections on the methodological challenges of such research.

The city of Houston, Texas has elected its first openly gay mayor, Annise Parker. She will take office Jan. 1.
Parker defeated former city attorney Gene Locke with 53.6 percent of the vote Saturday in a race that had a turnout of only 16.5 percent.
"This election has changed the world for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community. Just as it is about transforming the lives of all Houstonians for the better, and that's what my administration will be about," Parker told supporters after Locke conceded defeat.
Houston is the country's fourth largest city and biggest so far to elect an openly gay mayor. In a city with over two million people, Parker won by just 82,000 votes.
About 60,000 Houston residents identify themselves as gay or lesbian. She said she hopes her victory in Saturday's election will change how the world views the city.
"It's a historic election for my community, and I believe an election that will change some people's minds about the city of Houston," said Parker, 53. "It's a diverse, international city that welcomes everyone."
Parker started her political career as a gay activist, then she rose through the ranks of local politics to serve first on city council, then as city controller.

THE Travelling Gallery is returning to Edinburgh this week with an exhibition featuring works by seven international artists.
After 15 weeks, 100 venues and more than 9000 visitors, the City of Edinburgh Council's unique gallery returns to the Capital for the final days of touring with The Park exhibition.
The gallery is a purpose-built mobile facility that provides the opportunity for communities throughout Scotland to experience contemporary art on their doorstep at first-hand.
It was launched in 1978 by the Scottish Arts Council, but in 1997 its operation was switched to the city council which continues to operate the service.
The Park exhibition features sketches, plans, models and a film of the artists talking about the work which they created for the National Park Gateway Centre at Loch Lomond.
Councillor Ricky Henderson, executive member for sports, culture and leisure, said: "I am delighted to welcome the Travelling Gallery back to the city.
"A staggering 9000 people have visited the gallery in the four months it has been on the road.
"I hope the people in Edinburgh will take the opportunity to visit it."
The Travelling Gallery will be at the Edinburgh College of Art tomorrow, from 9am to 4pm, and the City Art Centre on Friday, from 10am to 4pm.

"Dog Whisperer" Comes to The Pullo Center in York Feb. 27
Renowned dog behavior expert Cesar Millan , the "Dog Whisperer," comes to the stage at the Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Canter) at Penn State York on Saturday, Feb. 27, 2010, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets go on sale beginning at 10 a.m. on Dec. 11, $75 VIP (including meet and greet) and $62.50 for regular . Visit the box office, call (717) 505-8900, or visit www.pullocenter.yk.psu.edu to order tickets or for more information.
Millan is one of the most sought-after specialists working in the field of dog rehabilitation. From bullying Chihuahuas to timid Great Danes, he has an uncanny gift for communicating with dogs and seeing the world through their eyes. Millan has been called "a Dr. Phil for dogs," and for good reason. His amazing rehabilitations of aggressive, scared, lazy, compulsive, and jealous dogs captured the national spotlight when his National Geographic Channel (NGC) series Dog Whisperer premiered in 2004.
In addition to co-creating and starring in Dog Whisperer, Millan has co-authored three New York Times Bestsellers: Cesar's Way, Be the Pack Leader and A Member of the Family. In October of 2009 he released his fourth book titled How to Raise the Perfect Dog: Through Puppyhood and Beyond. He has also created numerous instructional DVDs and CDs, and continues to host a popular series of personal appearance seminars where he teaches attendees how to apply his techniques in the training and rehabilitation of their dogs.
With seating for just over 1,000, The Pullo Center offers an intimate venue with full theatre capabilities. The Pullo Center opened at the campus in August 2005.

J.K. Galbraith shocked at scale of corporate failures. "I can only say I hadn't expected to see this problem on anything like the magnitude of the last few months – the separation of ownership from management, the monopolisation of control by irresponsible personal money-makers." Myself and chrispy came to the same conclusion on the drive home from the resolutely un- (rather than anti-) corporate Glastonbury Festival today. Profit is valued and rewarded by the vast majority of corporations above all else. As a consquence, people with the same values dominate executive positions, to the exclusion of those with more 'humanitarian' or longer-term outlooks. Where is the balance? Should we make hippie non-exec directors compulsory? Or should I just go back to bed and let the drugs wear off???

Tony Cascarino's pick of the week
Rooney's deep trouble: Manchester United
United have so many problems that it is hard to pick out just one, but a priority must be Wayne Rooney. He's dropping deep and it is just not working. United have 46 goals this season — 30 fewer than Liverpool. That is disgraceful.
Proving his worth: Martin Demichelis
Every manager has a player that they like even if no one else does. Tim Sherwood's is Nabil Bentaleb and Manuel Pellegrini's is Martin Demichelis. So it was nice to see him play so well at Hull. Maybe Pellegrini does know what he's doing.
Back to his
