A Documentary History, Volumes 1 and 2
Edited by
Sven Saaler and Christopher W. A. Szpilman
This two-volume set provides the only comprehensive, Western-language history of Pan-Asianism through primary sources and commentaries. The book argues that Pan-Asianism, often—though unfairly—associated with the Yellow Peril, has been a powerful political and ideological force in modern Asia. It has shaped national identities and strongly influenced the development of international relations across Asia and the Pacific. Scholars have long recognized the importance of Pan-Asianism as an ideal of Asian solidarity, regional cooperation, and integration but also as an ideology that justified imperialist expansion and military aggression. Yet sustained research has been hampered by the difficulty of accessing primary sources.
Thoroughly remedying this problem, this unique sourcebook provides a wealth of documents on Pan-Asianism from 1850 to the present, many translated for the first time from Asian languages. All sources are accompanied by expert commentaries that provide essential background information. Providing an essential overview of Pan-Asianism as it developed throughout modern Asia, this collection will be an indispensable tool for scholars in history, political science, international relations, and sociology. Its accessible presentation makes it a valuable resource for non-specialists as well.

Kyoko and Mark Selden
The first substantial compilation of materials on the topic in the English language . . . [which] not only fulfills the historiographical gap and teaching needs but also opens up further research into the subject. . . . The editors do not assume a coherent Pan-Asianism; rather, the strength of this collection lies in its acknowledgment of varieties, tensions, and changes within various voices of Pan-Asianism. . . . Each short chapter comes with an informative, easy-to-follow essay as well as translations of primary materials, making the collection ideal for undergraduate teaching. . . . Despite the sense of taboo around the subject of pan-Asianism, or rather because of it, carefully contextualized analyses of its history are highly important. Not only for teachers but also for any critical readers of Asian history and contemporary discussions of Asian integration,
is a welcome and invaluable collection.
East Asia Integration Studies
These engaging tomes . . . offer a mint of scholarship on what has long been a troubling issue to decipher for students limited to the English language; namely, what is the deal with Pan-Asianism? . . . The question has long been of interest but few were the tools one could employ to gain insight or even access to more than mere cursory introductions. These books change the nature of that game [with] a two-volume set of fine translations covering the 19th and 20th centuries (with a bit into the 21st), focusing on a wide variety of well-known, and some lesser known, ideologues (Japanese and other) on the topic of pan-Asianism. . . . This is a set for any library and to serve as a reference on [researchers'] shelves. . . . These books bring an enormous span of disparate writings together, an exceedingly admirable goal even without the translations and introductions. . . . Each selection is preceded with a clear explanation from the translator, noting the significance and providing some background on the text itself. Sometimes the introductions or explanatory sections are longer than the actual translation, and that is fine because these volumes offer precisely that to the beginning reader an introduction. I can think of no better set of current volumes on the market that offer this wealth in terms of both coverage, depth of explanation, and then actual translation of primary text, to readers in English . . . . Saaler and Szpilman should be commended on being able both to corral an army of able and intellectually gifted scholars from around the world and get them to produce translations and introductions in this multi-layered collection of tracts from the last century and a half. . . . I can only imagine the effort put forward in producing this publication and the two volumes sit proudly on my shelf, already well-thumbed as I paw through them looking for insight.
Barack Kushner
; Reviews in History
The publication of
is a seminal event: until now it has been almost impossible to find translations on this strand of thought. . . . [I]n its scope and variety this easily is the best sourcebook on Pan-Asianism available in any language. Every academic library on Japan should stock this collection, and many scholars on modern Japan and Asia will benefit from owning it.
Monumenta Nipponica
Finally there is an excellent source book on Pan-Asianism, an ideology that has played an important role in Japan's regional interactions since the late 19th century. These two volumes are essential for any university or research library as they cover modern Asian history from the mid-19th century until the present. The set is an incredibly good value because it provides access to a comprehensive range of translated materials that encompass a number of languages. The contributors preface their translations with useful commentary that help readers understand the significance of what they are about to read, making this very useful for students and scholars. . . . A treasure trove of primary documents, some translated into English for the first time.
Japan Times
[A] welcome addition to an on-going conversation and a substantial resource for both scholars and students. . . . [T]his two-volume collection of documents brings together prominent visions of Asia from across the region and over nearly two centuries, all carefully placed in historical and intellectual context by thoughtful introductions from a long list of contributing scholars. . . . [R]emarkable in part for its breadth: geographical, chronological and ideological.
Pacific Affairs
This is an extraordinary undertaking, simply breathtaking in the range of writings it introduces to an English-speaking readership. The two volumes contain Pan-Asian writings by many well-known Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Indian, Indonesian, and Malaysian authors, in addition to manifestos produced by various Pan-Asian organizations. It is particularly helpful that these translations are introduced by essays written by leading scholars in the field. These two books together make an important scholarly contribution by opening up access to an area of modern history that has remained largely impenetrable to many of us.
Naoko Shimazu, University of London
'Pan-Asianism' galvanized—and still galvanizes—political imaginations from Afghanistan to Japan, from the Suez to Sakhalin, in an array of sometimes conflicting projects: defense against 'the West,' internal colonialism, transnational class solidarity, and celebration of religious and other traditions. These volumes, in translating seminal works from many languages and presenting skilled commentary, provide an unprecedented basis for a historical understanding of this perplexing yet vital concept. A gift to scholars and students for years to come.

Origin of the high temperature performance degradation of 1.5 mu m InGaAs(P)/InP quantum well lasers
Sweeney, SJ and Thijs, PJA (2003) Origin of the high temperature performance degradation of 1.5 mu m InGaAs(P)/InP quantum well lasers In: 16th Annual Meeting of the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society, 2003-10-27 - 2003-10-30, TUCSON, AZ.

High temperature degradation of the efficiency of 1.5 mum InGaAs(P) lasers is shown to be due to strong coupling between Auger recombination and internal absorption. This is explained using a simple analytical model.

Today's Youth Perform Today's Music
The New England Conservatory Preparatory School's annual contemporary festival, "Today's Youth Perform Today's Music," was founded in 1991 to give students and faculty the opportunity to study the performance skills needed for contemporary music. Featured composers work closely with students in workshops, seminars, and coachings.
In the recent past, there has been a surge of interest among Preparatory School students to study composition and perform their own music and that of their friends. This has become an integral part of the festival.
"Her music breathes coolly, calmly and intelligently with a clarity of tonal language that positively invites you in."
—The Independent
This year's resident composer is Judith Weir, whose visit comes on the heels of a year of close listening to a fellow British composer to whom Weir is often compared: Benjamin Britten. Like Britten, Weir's approach to tonality eschews academic orthodoxies, while referencing folkloric and ethnographic inspirations. Also like Britten, she has written extensively for the human voice. Her most recent opera, Miss Fortune, premiered at the 2011 Bregenz Festival and moved on to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden.
Boston audiences' exposure to Weir's music include works commissioned by the Boston Symphony Orchestra: Music Untangled and Natural History. The 2013 Aldeburgh Festival premiered her new work for vocal soloist and string orchestra, I give you the end of a golden string, on a program where it kept company with music by Britten, Tippett, and Bartók. Read the Guardian review. Weir received Lincoln Center's Stoeger Prize for chamber music composition in 1997, and Britain's Queen's Medal for Music in 2007.
Judith Weir's masterclass this morning with NEC Preparatory School student composers kicks off two days of "Today's Youth Perform Today's Music" residency events on the NEC campus. Student works reviewed in this masterclass will include Karen Chang's Meteor for solo piano and Sam Talmadge's Three Poems for Soprano and Piano.

However, Vilamoura has also excellent places to visit, such as: the Casino, the Marina, the Cinema and the Golf Course, where you can practice some sport and it is ideal for golf lovers.

We spent a week in August, at Villa Morbey, and was really good time.
The house was well cleaned, and mantained by regular visits of the house keeper
The house is provided with all the needed houseware; ambiance is great, very confortable and friendly for use.
The outside is a very nice and pleasant garden with a nice swiming pool; is great to have the breakfast and lunch enjoying the shadow of the trees.
During these days, we spent almost all time enjoying the house and the pool.
Is very well located; if you like to walk, you can easely walk from the house till the center town (Marina), is about 15min walk.
In resume, we enjoyed a lot the house, and sure we recomend this house for families with 3/4 childs, with car.
Next year, if we decide to stay some days in Vilamoura, we will return for sure
We spent two weeks at Villa Morbey during August. The house is as described in the pictures. It is charming and very well maintained. The outdoor area and pool is cosy and very clean. The rooms are well proportioned and perfect for our family (3 children including one teenager who loved the location and villa).
The location was good and we often walked to the marina (about 25 mins with children). We did not hire a car but used taxis frequently which were reasonable. We found a supermarket and cafe with internet close by and within walking distance. The housekeeper and the owner were very helpful.
We had a fabulous relaxing holiday here.
Wir haben es gut erwischt mit dem Ferienhaus, ruhige Lage,
schöner Platz im Garten zum entspannen für die ganze Familie unterm Baum und am schönen Pool. Gut und geschmackvoll ausgestattet, idyllische Terrasse, netter Empfang bei der Anreise. Gerne wieder.
Die Villa Morbey ist ein sehr angenehmes Feriendomizil fuer Erholungssuchende.
Das Haus ist gepflegt, sauber mit grosszuegig geschnittenem Grundruss.
Die Badezimmer sind modern und funktionieren einwandfrei.
Die Kueche ist mit allen Geraeten fuer den taeglichen Bedarf bestens ausgeruestet. Taeglich Menus zu kochen ist kein Problem.
Der Garten mit Pool ist durch die gute Lage von morgens frueh bis abends spaet nutzbar und der Sitz-/Essplatz ist etwas windgeschuetzt, sodass die meiste Zeit draussen verbracht werden kann.
Vilamoura is a little and quiet place, in the 60's it was built a big holiday complex that remains until nowadays. It has 1600 hectar of land and 1000 houses, surrounded by luxurious hotels, apartments and Villas. In these ressorts if you want you can find, of course, all the commodities and conditions to practice sport; it has 4 Golf Courses (our villa is between them!!) , plenty of Tennis Courses, one school of riding horses and many other things. Our Villa stays in a beautiful pine tree plantation, near the new Hilton Spa Hotel and between the Golf Course 'Pine' and 'The old Course'. In your spare times you can also try to fish and sale in the crystalline waters of Vilamoura beaches. But, if you want to try your luck you could for instance go in the Casino. On the other side, if you want to feel like a real tourist you can enjoy the great bars, restaurants, boutiques and the tipicall portuguese cafés, that Vilamoura has to offer you.
Golf: Golf paradies of Portugal: Vilamoura offers 5 famous golf courses - Oceânico Victoria, organizer of the Portugal Masters 2007-2009, the Oce^nico Old Course, Oceânico Pinhal, Oceânico Laguna e Oceânico Millennium. 2006 were played in total 214.000 rounds of the 5 wold-class courses in Vilamoura, which are now owend by the Oceânico Group. An important factor for the period 2007-2009 is the organization of the Portugal Masters Tournament. A competition, which promises the Algarve the visit of 50.000 espectators, which would like to see the best players of the world. The 73-pair course, The Oceânico Old Course, in the style of a park landscape, is the oldest of the region. He was opend in 1969 and is know in the whole golf world. Our villa is close by the golf courts.

About MeHello!
I'm not the average cookie-cutter model. Physically speaking, I would consider myself a "fitness" or "full figured" model. Training as an athlete is a huge part of my daily life. I'm not just a pretty face. I travel all over TX doing endurance competitions and my body shows my hard work. I bring a lot of energy to my shoots, and I'm more than willing to collaborate with photographers. I like the unconventional and eccentric. I pride myself on being genuine and punctual... and I appreciate the same from my photographers.
I'm also greatly involved in the circus arts. I've fire danced at numerous festivals and performed with many local bands here in Austin. Acrobatic yoga is another art form that I routinely practice. You can see photos of this art in my port.
Lastly, I am an artist. As a photographer, I will treat you as an artist. I don't mind doing nude/fetish/bondage shoots as long as they are done with an artistic eye.
I shoot both TFP and paid. If you inquire about TFP, please include your shoot concept and/or ideas. All of my Nude and Erotic shoots are PAID. No exceptions.
Clothed/Swimsuit ~ $45 per hour
Nude/Erotic ~ $65 per hour
I greatly encourage photographers to use watermarks on my photos as I use them on various sites.
Thanks for stopping by xoxo!

In XP it was possible to select the view settings for each folder and it would retain those settings. My biggest annoyance with W7 is then If I change the view setting for one folder they all change. I realize one can't have different view setting for primary folders and sub folders, but I would like to be able to have different view setting for different primary folders. For example, I'd like my documents folder in details view, but I have another folder I'd like in tiles view. Is this possible and if so how?

I had the same problem with Vista where it started. Just google " folder view keeps changing". You will get several fixes which did correct my problem. I don't seem to have any problem with windows 7 although I upgraded from Vista so the fix might might not have gotten overwritten when upgrading.

Tailor-made for bargain hunters
The Sun-Herald

Destination: Vietnam
Winsor Dobbin finds himself overcome by a frenzied desire to shop until he drops in Hoi An.
There are several compelling reasons for Hoi An to be on the itinerary of a visitor to Vietnam. The town is UNESCO World Heritage-listed for its historic mix of Chinese and French architecture and landmark ancient Japanese bridge, there is a fascinating market selling everything from live chickens to motorbike parts, there are churches and pagodas dating back to the 17th century and the ancient Cham ruins are just a short drive away at My Son.
There are several delightful new resorts overlooking the dozy Thu Bon River, several more on the almost deserted Cua Dai beach three kilometres away. Hoi An is also a culinary capital, home to several of Vietnam's most famous dishes.
The real reason most tourists visit Hoi An, however, is to go shopping. More specifically to buy clothes; handmade clothes at ridiculously low prices, cheaper than just about anywhere else in Asia.
A made-to-measure suit for $75? "Certainly, sir. That'll be ready for you in four hours." A pair of casual linen trousers? "We can have them made in a couple of hours, sir. That'll be $20." A silk women's business outfit comprising a jacket, skirt, pair of trousers and a blouse? "Just $70 please and you can come back at 7pm."
We heard of people who had business shirts made for $5 each. You can take any piece of old or faded clothing and the local craftsmen or women will knock up an exact replica. It's amazing stuff and addictive.
I hate shopping with a passion, unless I'm buying food or wine, but the prices were so low, the quality of the materials and workmanship so high it was hard to resist.
Any style can be copied, just about any material procured. And there are stacks of the latest fashion books from London, Paris and New York so you can be bang up-to-date in your cost-almost-nothing duds.
You'll be hustled and hassled, that's for sure, but once you have made up your mind what you want to buy, the clothes sellers and tailors are professionalism personified.
I was given excellent service by Phan Thuy Tien, who prefers to be called Daffodil, at A Dong Silk. I now own a suit, a casual jacket and a pair of casual pants for less than a pair of trendy jeans would have cost me in Sydney.
My wife was similarly well looked after by the girls around the corner at Chau, where she picked up several complete outfits for comparative small change. There was one hiccup, however, when a pair of slacks for which she had been carefully measured didn't fit at all. Much consternation and waving of hands among the staff. "It is impossible for our tailors to make such a mistake," she was told.
It eventually turned out my wife's pair had been placed in the window by an overconscientious assistant and she was trying on the sample pair, made for a very different body shape.
Shoes can also be made the same day at Shoes Shop, where my wife picked up a handmade pair of casual pumps for $20.
HOI AN was once one of the busiest cities in Asia. In the 16th century, when it was known as Faifo, it was on the silk route linking Vietnam, Japan and China and was a trading centre for merchant ships from around the globe.
Sadly, the river silted up and nowadays it is a sleepy little town of about 75,000 people, enlivened only by its commerce, tourism and the hundreds of motorbike taxis, known as xe oms, that will take you anywhere you want to go. Most drivers are friendly and helpful, but it pays to be cautious and verify the fare before setting off.
As you wander the old town you'll find an appealing melange of architectural styles and come across Chinese assembly halls, pagodas, French colonial villas and several merchants' houses, some of which you can visit for a small fee.
The market is at its best in the early morning, when there are more local patrons than visitors.
The Japanese covered bridge, a magnet for tourists, dates back to the 16th century, maybe earlier. The Quan Cong temple was built in 1653.
The locals are forthright. OK, I'm a little on the chunky side. Several youngsters came up to me, patted me on the stomach and proclaimed my resemblance to Buddha. Some called me "Happy Buddha", others "Lucky Buddha", others just "Fat Buddha". Even a couple of adults joined in.
A large chap needs to eat and Hoi An is home to some excellent restaurants. Forget expensive options such as the hyped Brothers Cafe and the overpriced Song Do at the otherwise excellent Hoi An Riverside resort.
Instead try the innovative Vietnamese fusion food of chef Tran Thanh Duc at the Mango Rooms downtown, or the delightful and very cheap food at the Son Restaurant overlooking the river.
Local specialties include cao lau, a tasty soup featuring pork, vegetables and noodles and topped with slivers of pork crackling; delicious fried wontons with a sweet/sour sauce and banh bao "white roses, shrimp stuffed rice-flour dumplings".
The Riverside resort overlooks the somnambulant river and is the place to stay. From your room you may see the occasional local fisherman heading towards the South China Sea, but are more likely to glimpse hotel sampans ferrying guests on sightseeing jaunts past the paddy fields.

Funding Opportunities
Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grants (Parent T35)Funding Number: PA-11-185
Funding Type: PA
Release Date: March 25, 2011
Expiration Date: January 8, 2014
Web Site: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-11-185.html
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will award Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA) Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grants (T35) to eligible institutions to develop or enhance research training opportunities for predoctoral and postdoctoral level individuals interested in careers in biomedical, behavioral and clinical research. Many of the NIH Institutes and Centers (ICs) use this grant mechanism exclusively to support intensive, short-term research training experiences for students in health professional schools during the summer. In addition, the Short-Term Institutional Research Training Grant may be used to support other types of predoctoral and postdoctoral training in focused, often emerging scientific areas relevant to the mission of the funding IC. The proposed training must be in basic, behavioral or clinical research aspects of the health-related sciences. This program is intended to encourage graduate and/or health professional students to pursue research careers by exposure to and short-term involvement in the health- related sciences. The training should be of sufficient depth to enable the trainees, upon completion of the program, to have a thorough exposure to the principles underlying the conduct of research..

Rong Fan Receives 2014 NSF CAREER Award
A prestigious research award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) will help biomedical engineer Rong Fan create a microchip that can simultaneously measure a single cell's DNA, RNA, protein signature, and cellular function.
Fan, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering, has been selected to receive a 2014 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award for his project, "Revisiting the Central Dogma at the Genome Scale and in Single Cells." The CAREER Award, which provides five years of funding to researchers who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars, is the NSF's most prestigious award for junior faculty.
Fan's research focuses on developing microtechnology for single-cell, genome-scale analysis that integrates the principles of systems biology—a field of study that holistically examines the components of a biological system and how they interact with one another. His previous inventions have sought to better understand complex human diseases, especially the interactions between cancer cells and the immune system. For example, one of his devices demonstrated that not all immune cells that respond to tumors are the same specific cell type; the discovery better illuminates how patients respond to a particular type of cancer treatment.
"Single cell analysis is the new forefront of biomedical research," says Fan, "but the major challenge is the lack of breakthrough technologies to handle and process single cells such that the genetic, epigenetic, or proteomic information can be obtained at the single cell level with high coverage and accuracy. So it is a field where engineering can make major contributions."
With the 2014 CAREER Award, Fan plans to develop a microfluidic processor that can examine the flow of genetic information in a single cell simultaneously for genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and phenotypic parameters. He hopes to understand how a cell regulates the expression of genes at the whole genome scale to produce a diverse range of cell types and functions, a question that is central to modern biology. Such analysis is critical to fully addressing a range of fundamental biological questions such as embryonic development, tumor development, and immune diversity.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about the factors that increase the chance of developing ALL. To see other pages, use the menu.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Although risk factors often influence the development of cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some people with several risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and talking about them with your doctor may help you make more informed lifestyle and health care choices.
The cause of ALL is not known. In general, ALL is most likely to affect children and older adults. The following factors may raise a person's risk of developing ALL:
Age. Children younger than 15 and adults older than 50 are more likely to develop ALL.
Race. White people are somewhat more likely than black people to develop ALL for reasons that are not understood.
Genetic conditions. People with Down syndrome, ataxia telangiectasia, Li-Fraumeni syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, Fanconi anemia, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and Bloom syndrome have a higher risk of developing ALL than the general population.
High doses of radiation. People who have been exposed to high levels of radiation, such as long-term survivors of atomic bombs, may be more likely to develop ALL. Exposure to electromagnetic fields or high-voltage electric lines has not been proven to increase a person's risk of ALL. Cell phone use is not a known risk factor for ALL.
Viruses. Occasionally, ALL or specific types of lymphoma can be associated with a previous viral infection, such as the human T-cell leukemia virus-1 or the Epstein-Barr virus.
Recent genetic research has shown that many young children who develop ALL may have had changes that are signs of the disease in a very small number of cells before they were born, although it may take several years before the disease develops and causes symptoms. More research is being done to try to understand this finding in more detail.
The next section in this guide is Symptoms and Signs. It explains what body changes or medical problems this disease can cause. Or, use the menu to choose another section to continue reading this guide.

It's true, fall is here.
Aside from my thesis film, one of the other films I'm working on is my friend Katie's. It's a heartwarming story about an imaginative little girl who isn't quite ready to grow up. I'm the cinematographer/DOP for the shoot, so the other day Katie and I went location scouting. I had the task of climbing down the prickly bushes, rocks and dirt (oh and spider webs) into the stream to snap some photos. Katie had the difficult task of being a stand in for the child actors.
I love my new neighbourhood.
Did I mention this forest is right down the street from me, and the path leads right downtown?
What a beautiful place.

Reuse Mud Bed or Replace with DuRock?
2 Attachment(s)
I am new to the site and new to flooring. We are putting a combination of 20*20" and 13*13" tiles in our entry way. I removed the existing small tiles that were laid in the mid 70's and am wondering how I should proceed.
Do I add a leveling agent over the existing material, or do I remove it down to the subfloor and add durock?
The subflooring is 3/4" plywood over 2*10 joists that are 16 inches apart.
I've attached a couple pictures to give you an idea of what I'm looking at. My gut tells me that I'll need to rip this up and start over, but I don't want to do any extra work if there's little/no benefit.
So a little more research confirmed that I needed to remove the "Jersey" whatever (mortar bed with mesh inside). I've started this process; it's definitely not fun or easy.
Will I need to add a layer of plywood? If so, 1/2 or 3/4". Again the existing construction is 3/4" plywood over 2*10 joists that are 16" on center.
I answered at your other thread and thought it seemed familiar.
One question for you, does this area and the kitchen in the other thread meet someplace?
BTW, that is not a Jersey Mud job. That is a standard mud job.
I would think you'd want to be at the same level as the other room. If so, add 3/4" ply then your 1/4" Durock, if that's what you're using.
Same house. (Big project...)
The other thread is my kitchen. This is the entry on a split foyer house. So no need to correspond with another floor level. I have removed half of the cement so far and will drop some 3/4" plywood and Durock when ready.

First Time Up: An Insider's Guide for New Composition Instructors
€ 25,99
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
September 2005
Beschreibung"First time up?"--an insider's friendly question from 1960s counter-culture--perfectly captures the spirit of this book. A short, supportive, practical guide for the first-time college composition instructor, the book is upbeat, wise but friendly, casual but knowledgeable (like the voice that may have introduced you to certain other firsts). With an experiential focus rather than a theoretical one, "First Time Up will be a strong addition to the newcomer's professional library, and a great candidate for the TA practicum reading list. Dethier, author of "The Composition Instructor's Survival Guide and "From Dylan to Donne, directly addresses the common headaches, nightmares, and epiphanies of composition teaching--especially the ones that face the new teacher. And since legions of new college composition teachers are either graduate instructors (TAs) or adjuncts without a formal background in composition studies, he assumes these folks as his primary audience. Dethier's voice is casual, but it conveys concern, humor, experience, and reassurance to the first-timer. He addresses all major areas that graduate instructors or new adjuncts in a writing program are sure to face, from career anxiety to thoughts on grading and keeping good classroom records. Dethier's own eclecticism is well-represented here, but he reviews with considerable deftness the value of contemporary scholarship to first-time writing instructors--many of whom will be impatient with high theory. Throughout the work, he affirms a humane, confident approach to teaching, along with a true affection for college students and for teachers just learning to deal with them.
PressestimmenThis is a book that graduate students, especially, will enjoy because Brock Dethier's conversational, empathetic style establishes him as an equal--someone who remembers the anxieties of teaching writing for the first time--while his classroom smarts and awareness of the discipline establish his authority as a voice worth listening to.

5 Secrets to Staying Motivated...Even After Your 100th "No"
Continuously being rejected, failing, and hearing "no" can be life deflating. It takes a toll. It can leave confidence at rock bottom, risk-taking permanently on hold, and goal-setting a forgotten passion.
"Very few of us wouldn't love to experience more success in our bank account, relationships, health...wherever,"
Anderson, the author of six books, is passionately dedicated to empowering others to stick with goals and "live the life they love." Besides writing and speaking, Anderson is the Founder of Extra Mile America, an organization which will lead an estimated 500 cities to declare November 1, 2014, as "Extra Mile Day"... a day to recognize the capacity we each have to create positive change in our families, organizations and communities when we go the extra mile.
"No one is exempt from failing and hearing 'no.' In fact, anybody who isn't hearing 'no' enough isn't setting his ambitions very high," Anderson says. "What I see most, though, are people living disappointed lives not because their initial goals lacked size, but because their commitment to weather the "no" storm does."
Anderson offers five tips on how we can stay motivated when our results aren't motivating:
1. Have an unstoppable purpose.
"If we desire a goal with every fiber in our being, we will have the power to get past 'no,'" Anderson shares. "If our passion is deep enough, when someone whispers the words 'you can't' in our direction, we won't listen long enough to quit on ourselves."
2. Screw excuses.
"People who make excuses regarding their performance soon make excuses to stop performing,"
3. You're the cue ball.
"Striking the white cue ball sends all the other balls on the pool table into motion. Likewise, it's our action that puts others into action. If we're not landing enough success, it's because we're not striking the cue ball enough."
4. Sharpen your ax.
"Hearing 'no' dulls our confidence and desire. The duller we get, the duller our results become, and the more we will hear 'no.' Stay sharp. Exercise daily, read empowering books, and hang out with inspirational people," Anderson shares.
5. Always go the extra mile.
"If you're hearing lots of 'no' in your life, turn 'no' around by going the extra mile and adding more value to your offer or efforts. Value added leads to opportunities opened," Anderson says.

Bio: Shawn Anderson is a six-time author, keynote speaker and motivational success coach. His "go the extra mile" philosophy and ability to produce winning results have been praised by political leaders, Olympic Gold Medal and world record holders, and media outlets around the world.

A referendum was a vote by a population on an issue, rather than allowing only the government to make the decision.
Sometime before 2366, the Angosian population held a referendum and decided to send all of their soldiers to a penal colony. (TNG: "The Hunted")

IPO-hopeful Huishang Bank to meet Hong Kong stock exchange listing committee
Anhui city lender hopes to raise US$1.5 billion in offering before the end of the year after waiting for years to list on the stock market
Huishang Bank, a mainland city commercial lender, will present its case for a share sale to the listing committee of the Hong Kong stock exchange next week as it seeks to raise US$1.5 billion before the end of the year, according to people familiar with the matter.
Huishang, based in Hefei, Anhui province, is seeking the go-ahead for an initial public offering of its shares after Hong Kong-listed shares of mainland banks rose.
Even if the meeting with Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing goes smoothly and Huishang gets the approval from the securities regulator, the board of directors of Huishang, partly owned by the Anhui provincial government, has no plan to immediately begin a pre-marketing campaign, bankers say.
In theory, it could launch its public campaign as early as next week, depending on market conditions.
Bankers said an unnamed Jiangsu-based company had pledged to invest US$250 million to become a so-called cornerstone investor.
They added that all the shares were expected to be bought by funds of funds that wanted to own stakes in small mainland banks.
Huishang, which had waited for years to list in the mainland share market, opted for a Hong Kong float because the door for Shanghai listings has remained closed since November last year.
"A successful listing for Huishang will be a symbolic event for China's city commercial banks," said an American banker who declined to be named.
To ensure their listing applications were approved, banks such as Huishang would have to boost their liquidity ratios, improve their risk management and safeguard against systemic risk, he added.
Competition and a more complex operating environment had already begun to force smaller lenders to focus on internal controls and efficient reporting systems, he said.
That trend had intensified in the wake of the "fat-finger" trading error on the Shanghai exchange in August that caused wild swings in stock prices and led to a fine for Everbright Securities, he added.
Huishang was founded in December 2005 and has more than 5,500 employees, according to its website.
Also in the queue for a Hong Kong float is Bank of Chongqing, which is 20 per cent owned by Hong Kong's Dah Sing Bank.
It is likely to start pre-marketing a float aimed at raising a trimmed-down US$800 million as early as next week after winning listing approval from regulators last week.
Meanwhile, mainland media reports say the China Banking Regulatory Commission will allow 11 banks to sell asset management plans directly to customers under a pilot scheme.

STOCKHOLM -- Artemis Racing has confirmed its challenge for the America's Cup and says Swedish Olympic gold medalists Freddy Loof and Max Salminen have joined the sailing crew.
The star-crossed syndicate announced its return Tuesday during a news conference at the Moderna Museet, with the America's Cup itself on hand.
Artemis' entry in the last America's Cup was marred by the death of Andrew "Bart" Simpson in a capsize during a training run on San Francisco Bay in May 2013. It was the first challenger to be eliminated.
Artemis, owned by oil billionaire Torbjorn Tornqvist, is the second team to announce its challenge, after Emirates Team New Zealand. Cup officials won't announce the full slate of challengers until next month.
Loof and Salminen won the Star class gold medal in the 2012 Olympics.

Windfall Profits
The lowly tumbleweed is a nuisance to most inhabitants of Western Kansas. The Russian thistle bushes are everywhere. They clog drainage ditches, pile up against fencerows, and have even been known to cause traffic accidents.
But the weed is blowing only good fortune to Linda Katz of Garden City, Kan., who is proving that you really can sell almost anything on the Internet. You see, this former real estate agent, who's married to a roofer, sells tumbleweed over the Web.
"It all started as a joke,"says Katz, 49. She asked her son to build her a family Web page so she could communicate with friends and give it the tongue-in-cheeck name Prairie Tumbleweed Farm. Never mind that she didn't even live on a farm, but in a subdivision. Nevermind that you can't cultivate tumbleweed, which spreads its seed as it tumbles in the wind. For authenticity's sake, Katz added a price list ($35 for a big weed, $25 for a midsize one, $20 for the small economy model). And she guaranteed that each tumbleweed was "Y2K compliant" and quality-tested to tumble in even the gentlest of breezes.
Remember, Katz wasn't looking for business, but it found her all the same, thanks to the power of Web search engines. Orders started to pour in from all the places where people love Hollywood Westerns: Alaska, Austria, Britain, Hong Kong, India. Japanese customers proved so eager that she has added a section to her Web site in Japanese. Movie and TV production companies in Britain, Finland, and the U.S. have ordered tumbleweed for props, too, including a $1,000 order for the children's show Barney & Friends. A scientist from New Mexico wanted tumbleweed for research purposes. Many of Katz's newfound customers use tumbleweed to decorate their homes, even in lieu of the traditional Christmas tree.
During Katz's first two months on the Web, the site (www.prairietumbleweedfarm.com) logged 2,000 visitors. By mid-January, the number had grown to more than 56,000. Katz says she's making about 30 tumbleweed sales a week, which suggests revenues of about $40,000 a year.
That may not sound like much, but neither are her costs. She fills orders by grazing Kansas fence lines for tumbleweed and buys her mailing boxes in bulk lots. For labor, Katz uses her five nieces and nephews (aged 11 to 19) to help collect the stuff, and she gives them a share of the profits.
"Isn't the Internet a wonderful thing?" says Katz.

War on the War on TerrorApril 25, 2005, 6:58 pm
excerpt from his interview with Mother Jones
MotherJones.com: How did you come to write these columns?
Terry Jones: I think it was rage. It was just blind rage (laughs). This was after 9/11, and I just couldn't believe what our great leaders were doing. It seemed like every action they took was designed to have exactly the opposite effect of what they said they were going to do.
Like Bush, after 9/11, says the right thing: "We're going to catch the evil perpetrators of this evil deed." But if you're going to catch the perpetrators of an evil deed, what you need is secrecy and speed to nab them red-handed. What you don't do is say when you're going to look for them -- "we're going to look in two months' time." Or where you're going to look -- "we'll look in Afghanistan." Or what you're going to do -- "we're going to bomb you." I mean, by that time, all the evil perpetrators would leave the country, I would've thought. Now, as a result, they haven't caught the evil perpetrators, and the whole thing's a joke.
Instead of treating it as a crime -- which is what they should have done, getting the FBI and Interpol and everybody onto it -- they've elevated it into a war. So they've elevated the status of the evil perpetrators like Osama bin Laden. He's put up as of an equal footing with the United States itself. They've increased his prestige and reputation to no end, the perfect way of recruiting more people to his agenda.
Good stuff......

New State Dept. Terrorism Report Will Omit Statistics
When the State Department releases its annual report on terrorism later in April, it will be missing specific numbers. Last year's report undercounted terrorist attacks, and the department had to put out an embarrassing correction......

Credibility GapApril 12, 2005, 10:39 pm
"[W]e will have to work much, much harder to win back our credibility with the public."
...that realization... priceless.
The rest of the article is filled with other such deep epiphanies by St. Nick, but this one caught my eye:
"I think we're nuts not to regulate handguns more strictly, but I also think that gun owners have a point when they complain that gun issues often seem to be covered by people who don't know a 12-gauge from an AR-15."
This, of course, also means that reporters have no business reporting on any part of military operations without a complete understanding of how to retro-fit a humvee for body armor.
Nick, you do your colleagues no favors by being an advocate for them.
Chris' Sullen TripeApril 11, 2005, 7:12 pm
With his article titled "Sy Hersh Says It's Okay to Lie (Just Not in Print)" and subtitled "Sy Hersh's Loose Relationship With the Literal Truth" you would think that he would have used some of those 3500+ words to document actual lies told by Sy Hersh, yet all I could find was an exaggeration of numbers used to pull actual numbers out of a uncooperative source. Hardly the same thing. He attempts to use the fact that in speeches Sy Hersh will sometimes use unverified numbers while working on a story to hopefully get other reporters off their asses as Hersh's "problem with the truth".
"There are two Hershes, really. Seymour M. is the byline. He navigates readers through the byzantine world of America's overlapping national-security bureaucracies, and his stories form what Hersh has taken to calling an "alternative history" of the Bush administration since September 11, 2001.
Then there's Sy. He's the public speaker, the pundit. On the podium, Sy is willing to tell a story that's not quite right, in order to convey a Larger Truth. "Sometimes I change events, dates, and places in a certain way to protect people," Hersh told me. "I can't fudge what I write. But I can certainly fudge what I say."
No, Chris, there's actually just one Sy Hersh, and you and the majority of journalists in this country should be damn glad we have him as an example of the way it should be done. The reason his writing IS so great is that it IS researched and facts are verified. That's what great writing and editing is, Chris. Try it sometime.

Run Away TrainApril 3, 2005, 4:41 pm
These are the money quotes:
"See, the right isn't like us. They think that the so called liberal media is irretrievably biased but believe what they see, read and hear on their own media. We on the left, on the other hand, have no faith in any mainstream media, really, or any alternative media either for that matter. We have developed the habit of culling from various sources and analyzing the information ourselves as best we can. Even then we are very skeptical. Nothing that the media could do would particularly shock or disappoint us. No so with the other side."
"For instance, a conservative doctor of my acquaintance was stunned by the Schiavo matter. This man watches nothing but Fox news and could not believe the anti-intellectual religiosity of their coverage. This is a matter that he knows intimately and he could see clearly that the coverage wasn't "fair and balanced." Indeed, it wasn't true. It's as if a veil fell from his eyes."
As inevitable as this realization would appear, I thought this day would never come. It's debilitating to sit back day after day and hear the rants of the more radical on the right (Randal Terry, Tom DeLay, etc) and believe that true conservatives are buying into this new radicalism. It's somewhat reassuring to see that some are attempting to fight back before the lot of them go over a cliff together. Stopping this run-away train, however, might not be so easy when the tracks are greased with the effluence pouring out of Fox News, Limbaugh, and new books like "Men in Black:. How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America".
DeLay and company need fresh meat to throw to the true believers to keep them fed, active and fighting to keep them in power. This means constantly creating new evil doers to battle against. The next on their list are not just activist judges anymore but the entire judiciary.
When they come knocking on my door, cross in hand, I just hope there's someone left to speak up for members of the reality-based community.
