The Department of English offers students the opportunity to develop a sense of initiative and responsibility for the enterprise of interpretation. Through its course offerings, individual mentoring and intense conversations in and out of class, the department provides rigorous intellectual training in the history, methods and theory of the discipline.
With their advisers, English majors design a program of study that expands their knowledge of diverse genres, literary traditions and periods. We encourage students to explore the history of cultural production and critical reception and also to interrogate the presuppositions of literary study. A rich variety of courses allows students to engage with all periods and genres of literatures in English, including modern forms such as film and contemporary digital media.
The department stresses critical thinking, incisive written and oral analysis of texts, and the integration of imaginative, critical and theoretical approaches. The major culminates in an independently written essay, in which each student synthesizes her creative and critical learning experience.
Major Requirements
The English major requires at least 11 course selections, including three required courses: ENGL 250, 398 and 399. Of the eight elective English courses, at least two must be at the 300 level; one of the 200-level courses may be a unit of creative writing. After having completed at least two 200-level courses, students take ENGL 250 (Methods of Literary Study) in their sophomore or junior year. In their senior year, students enroll in ENGL 398 (Senior Conference) in the fall and ENGL 399 (Senior Essay) in the spring.
As students construct their English major, they should seek to include:
Minor Requirements
Requirements for an English minor are ENGL 250 and five second-year or advanced units in English literature. At least one unit must be at an advanced (300) level.
Concentration in Creative Writing
Students may elect a concentration in creative writing. This option requires that, among the eight course selections besides ENGL 250, 398 and 399, three units will be in creative writing; one of the creative writing units may be at the 300 level and may count as one of the two required 300-level courses for the major.
Other Concentrations
The Department of English contributes courses toward concentrations in Africana studies, in environmental studies, and in gender and sexuality studies.
ENGL B125 Writing Workshop
This course offers students who have already taken College Seminar 001 an opportunity to develop their skills as college writers. Through frequent practice, class discussion and in-class collaborative activity, students will become familiar with all aspects of the writing process and will develop their ability to write for an academic audience. The class will address a number of writing issues: formulating questions; analyzing purpose; generating ideas; structuring and supporting arguments; marshalling evidence; using sources effectively; and developing a clear, flexible academic voice. Students will meet regularly with the course instructor, individually and in small groups, to discuss their work. (staff)
ENGL B126 Writing Workshop for Non-Native Speakers of English
This course offers non-native speakers of English a chance to develop their skills as college writers. Through frequent practice, class discussion and in-class collaborative activity, students will become familiar with the writing process and will learn to write for an academic audience. Student writers in the class will be guided through the steps of composing and revising college essays: formulating questions; analyzing purpose; generating ideas; structuring and supporting arguments; marshalling evidence; using sources effectively; and developing a clear, flexible academic voice. Writers will receive frequent feedback from peers and the instructor. (staff)
ENGL B201 Chaucer: Canterbury Tales
Access to and skill in reading Middle English will be acquired through close study of the Tales . Exploration of Chaucer's narrative strategies and of a variety of critical approaches to the work will be the major undertakings of the semester. (Taylor, Division III)
ENGL B204 Literatures of American Expansion
This course will explore the relationship between U.S. narratives that understand national expansion as "manifest destiny" and narratives that understand the same phenomenon as imperial conquest. We will ask why the ingredients of such fictions - dangerous savages, empty landscapes, easy money and lawless violence - often combine to make the master narrative of "America," and we will explore how and where that master narrative breaks down. Critical readings will engage discourses of nation, empire, violence, race and sexuality. Texts will include novels, travel narratives, autobiographies, legal documents and cultural ephemera. (Schneider, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B205 Introduction to Film
This course is intended to provide students with the tools of critical film analysis. Through readings of images and sounds, sections of films and entire narratives, students will cultivate the habits of critical viewing and establish a foundation for focused work in film studies. The course introduces formal and technical units of cinematic meaning and categories of genre and history that add up to the experiences and meanings we call cinema. Although much of the course material will focus on the Hollywood style of film, examples will be drawn from the history of cinema. Attendance at weekly screenings is mandatory. (Horne, Division III; cross-listed as HART B205)
ENGL B207 Big Books of American Literature
This course focuses on the "big books" of mid-19th-century American literature, viewed through the lenses of contemporary theory and culture. Throughout the course, as we explore the role that classics play in the construction of our culture, we will consider American literature as an institutional apparatus, under debate and by no means settled. This will involve a certain amount of antidisciplinary work: interrogating books as naturalized objects, asking how they reproduce conventional categories and how we might re-imagine the cultural work they perform. We will look at the problems of exceptionalism as we examine traditional texts relationally, comparatively and interactively. (Dalke, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B210 Renaissance Literature: Performances of Gender
Readings chosen to highlight the construction and performance of gender identity during the period from 1550 to 1650 and the ways in which the gender anxieties of 16th- and 17th-century men and women differ from, yet speak to, our own. Texts will include plays, poems, prose fiction, diaries and polemical writing of the period. (Hedley, Division III)
ENGL B211 Renaissance Lyric
Both the continuity of the lyric tradition that begins with Wyatt and the distinctiveness of each poet's work are established. Consideration is given to the social and literary contexts in which lyric poetry was written. Poets include Donne, Herbert, Jonson, Shakespeare, Sidney, Spenser and Wyatt. (Hedley, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B212 Thinking Sex: Representing Desire and Difference
In this class we will examine our ability to put sexual experience into language. As we look at the various ways in which sexuality can be expressed linguistically, we will ask whether (and if so, why) it is "necessary" to "put sex into" language and explore what various scientific, social-scientific and literary discourses of desire look and sound like. What are the capacities and limitations of each? What other languages might be used? Can we imagine a curriculum to do this work? Can we teach such a curriculum? Praxis I course. (Dalke, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B214 Here and Queer: Placing Sexuality
The power of the marching-cry "We're here. We're queer. Get used to it." emanates from the ambiguity of the adverb "here." Where is "here?" In the face of exclusion from civic domains, does queerness form its own geography or nationality? This course will ask what it means to imagine a queer nation, and will work towards theorizing relations between modern constructions of sexuality, nationality and ethnicity. We will pay particular attention to the ways in which assertion of queer presence can cut both ways: both countering discourses of displacement and functioning as vehicles for colonial or racial chauvinism. (Thomas, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B220 Writing in Theory/Writing in Practice
This course is designed for students interested in tutoring college or high-school writers or teaching writing at the secondary-school level. Readings in current composition studies will pair texts that reflect writing theory with those that address practical strategies for working with academic writers. To put pedagogic theory into practice, the course will offer a praxis dimension. Students will spend a few hours a week working in local public school classrooms or writing centers. In-class collaborative work on writing assignments will allow students to develop writing skills and share their insights into the writing process with others. (Hemmeter, Division III; cross-listed as EDUC B219) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B221, B222 Early Modern English Drama to 1642
This two-semester survey of the astonishing growth, variety, culture and excellence of theater in England during the reigns of the Tudor and Stuart monarchs (1498-1642) will include examples of all genres and modes: Ford, Greene, Jonson, Marlowe, Marston, Peele and Webster, among many other authors, will be read and discussed from numerous perspectives. 221 (Tudor Drama) is not a prerequisite for 222 (Stuart Drama): a student may elect to take either course or both. (Rowe, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B223 The Story of Evolution and the Evolution of Stories
In this course we will experiment with two interrelated and reciprocal inquiries - whether the biological concept of evolution is a useful one in understanding the phenomena of literature (in particular, the generation of new stories), and whether literature contributes to a deeper understanding of evolution. We will begin with several science texts that explain and explore evolution and turn to stories that (may) have grown out of one another, asking where they come from, why new ones emerge, and why some disappear. We will consider the parallels between diversity of stories and diversity of living organisms. Lecture three hours a week. (Dalke, Grobstein, Division II or III; cross-listed as BIOL B223)
ENGL B225 Shakespeare
A basic introduction to the plays of Shakespeare. Course emphases will include Shakespeare's dramaturgy, the material text, Bardolatry, adaptation, gender performance, symbolic geography, Shakespearean recycling.

(Ullman, Division III; cross-listed as HIST B227)
ENGL B229 Movies and Mass Politics
This course will trace in the history of movie forms a series of debates about the ways that nations can become mass societies, focusing mostly on the ways that Hollywood movies countered the appeals of Communism and Fascism. (Tratner, Division III; cross-listed as COML B229) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B231 Modernism in Anglo-American Poetry
The purpose of this course will be to familiarize students with the broad outlines of that movement in all the arts known as Modernism, and in particular to familiarize them with Modernism as it was evolved in Anglo-American poetry - both from its American sources (Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams) and from its European sources (T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein). The course is intended to prepare students for ENGL 232, American Poetry Since World War II; together, these courses are intended to provide an overview of American poetry in the 20th century. (Kirchwey, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B232 Voices In and Out of School: American Poetry Since World War II
This course will survey the main developments in American poetry since 1945, both as made manifest in "movements" (whether or not self-consciously identified as such) and in highly original and distinctive poetic voices. The course will consider the work of the Beats, Black Mountain poets, Confessional poets, New York School, political-engagement poets, post-New Criticism poets, Poundians, Surrealists, Whitmanians, Zen and the environment poets, and other individual and unaffiliated voices.

ENGL B238 Silent Film: International Film to 1930
This course surveys the history of cinema as commercial product and specific cultural form, from the years surrounding the technological advent of moving images to just before the commercial addition of synchronous sound. An overview of the rise of national cinemas in the silent era, we will discuss the aesthetic movements and traditions of the period as they pertain to changes in social and cultural contexts of cinema. This course will incorporate accounts of cinema presented in audience ethnographies, the documentary history of the cinema and film publicity. Past topics included: DeMille, Griffith, Micheaux and the Birth of Film Art. (Horne, Division III; cross-listed as HART B238)
ENGL B239 Women and Cinema
This course explores the wide range of roles played by women throughout the 100-year history of filmmaking. If the representation of women on the silver screen has tended to be narrow and damaging, these images are only part of the larger picture of women's involvement in cinema. The course examines the spectrum of generic images of women in feature films. It also locates where else women have been represented in the industry and examines the impact women have had on film culture as writers, editors, directors, publicity agents, technical artists and as film exhibitors and critics. (Horne, Division III; cross-listed as HART B239) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B240 Readings in English Literature 1660-1744

ENGL B246 Scribbling Sisters: Pan-African Women Writers
An intensive study of seven works by six artists representing constructed experiences in the Caribbean, Africa and the United States. We will focus primarily on intertextual conversations between and among these works, the use of memory as subject as well as intellectual idea, differences between and among works created in different centuries and cultural settings, and the reshaping of genre(s) on the part of these artists. Featured works: The Salt Eaters (Bambara), Parable of the Talents and Parable of the Sower (Butler), Maru (Head), Contending Forces (Hopkins), The Chosen Place, The Timeless People (Marshall) and Paradise (Morrison). (Beard, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B249 Beauty: A Conversation Between Chemistry and Culture
This course will explore the topic of "beauty," ranging from the molecular to the political levels, with considerable time spent on aesthetics. The conversation will occur in four stages - Exploring Form: What Is Beautiful; Apprehending the Physical World: The Structures of Nature; Appreciating Beautiful Objects: What Moves Us, How and Why; and The Shaping Work of Politics or The Ethical Turn: On Beauty and Being Just. The class will draw heavily on the work of John Dewey (whose Art as Experience will be a guiding text). There will be aesthetic objects on-and-about which we will conduct our analysis of beauty. (Burgmayer, Dalke, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B250 Methods of Literary Study
Through course readings, we will explore the power of language in a variety of linguistic, historical, disciplinary, social and cultural contexts and investigate shifts in meaning as we move from one discursive context to another. Students will be presented with a wide range of texts that explore the power of the written word and provide a foundational basis for the critical and creative analysis of literary studies. Students will also refine their faculties of reading closely, writing incisively and passionately, asking speculative and productive questions, producing their own compelling interpretations and listening carefully to the textual readings offered by others. (staff, Division III)
ENGL B251 Eating Culture: Britain and Food 1789-1929

ENGL B262 Survey in African American Literature: Laughin' to Keep from Cryin'
A study of African American representations of the comedic in literary and cinematic texts, in the mastery of an inherited deconstructive muse from Africa, and in lyrics that journey from African insult poetry to Caribbean calypso to contemporary rap.

ENGL B281 Power and Place in Literature and Film
In examining the intersection of power and place in literature and film, we will explore how people, ideas and history collide to produce both the possibility of conflict and of new forms of community. We will redefine place over the duration of the course as it relates to questions of home, national and/or cultural belonging, social status and the like. A change of place may be salutary or destructive or both. It might be generated by global forces, such as colonialism, or it might be the result of a more personal and individual quest. (Ladva, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.

(staff, Division III; cross-listed as COML B306 and HART B306) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B309 Native American Literature
This course focuses on late-20th-century Native literatures that attempt to remember and redress earlier histories of dispersal and genocide. We will ask how various writers with different tribal affiliations engage in discourses of humor, memory, repetition and cultural performance to refuse, rework or lampoon inherited constructions of the "Indian" and "Indian" history and culture. We will read fiction, film and contemporary critical approaches to Native literatures alongside much earlier texts, including oral histories, political speeches, law and autobiography. Readings may include works by Sherman Alexie, Diane Glancy, Thomas King, N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko and Gerald Vizenor. (Schneider, Division III)
ENGL B310 Victorian Media
This course proposes that the Victorian era was an information age - an age in which the recording, transmission and circulation of language was revolutionized. The railroad, the postal system, the telegraph, the typewriter and the telephone were all 19th-century inventions. These communication technologies appeared to bring about "the annihilation of time and space" and we will examine how they simultaneously located and dislocated the 19th-century British citizen. We will account for the fears, desires and politics of the 19th-century "mediated" citizen and analyze the networks of affiliation that became "intermediated": family, nation, community, erotics and empire. (Thomas, Division III)
ENGL B316 Spenserian Allegory
This course will focus on Edmund Spenser's allegorical epic, The Faerie Queene , which will be read in its entirety to gain access to the rich resources of the allegorical mode as it was understood and practiced in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: resources for staging self-confrontation, constructing and reconstructing the experience of falling in love, and probing the mysteries of life and death, good and evil. The course will also explore the allegorical mode in the 19th and 20th centuries, as it appears in works such as Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man and Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter . (Hedley, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B317 Exhibition and Inhibition: Movies, Pleasures and Social Control
This course is a wide-ranging exploration of what it means to go to the movies. In it, we investigate the changing nature of the cinema in society - including all cinematic modes of display and exhibition, spanning pre-cinematic visual technologies to more recent film and video practices. Topics covered include audience segregation, film censorship and the reform movement, the Hollywood production code, movie theater architecture, fan cultures of various kinds, journalistic and narrative accounts of moviegoing, and the shift from analog to digital images. Readings from film and cultural theory on mass spectacle, the observer, the spectator and the mass audience will shape our discussion and guide our individual research. (Horne, Division III; cross-listed as HART B317) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B319 A Sense of Place
The purposes of this course are to explore strategies for the artistic representation of place and to look into historical, emblematic and theoretical dimensions of literary and pictoral settings. The course will also ask whether classical, European and American writers sought to realize settings in similar or distinctively different ways. (Briggs, Division III; cross-listed as COML B319) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B321 Early Stages: Medieval and Renaissance Drama
A thematic survey of English medieval and Renaissance drama, from the early comic allegory, Mankynde , through Shakespeare's tragedies and romances, to bloody Jacobean revenge tragedies.

Readings include The Last of the Mohicans, The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven, Moby Dick and Robinson Crusoe. Critical texts, research presentations, written assignments and intensive seminar discussion will address questions of cultural sovereignty, mimesis, literacy versus orality, literary hybridity, intertextuality and citation.

ENGL B369 Women Poets: Gwendolyn Brooks, Adrienne Rich, Sylvia Plath
In this seminar we will be playing three poets off against each other, all of whom came of age during the 1950s. We will plot each poet's career in relation to the public and personal crises that shaped it, giving particular attention to how each poet constructed "poethood" for herself. (Hedley, Division III) Not offered in 2006-07.
ENGL B379 The African Griot(te)
A focused exploration of the multi-genre productions of Southern African writer Bessie Head and the critical responses to such works. Students are asked to help construct a critical-theoretical framework for talking about a writer who defies categorization or reduction. (Beard, Division III)

Country singer Merle Haggard is recovering from lung cancer surgery, his family announced Wednesday.
"Merle has undergone the removal of a cancerous growth in his right lung," the 71-year-old singer's wife, Theresa Haggard, said on his website, "Merle is recuperating from the surgery and doing better and better each day."
ON THE WEB: Haggard's website
Haggard, who has had more than three dozen No. 1 songs since 1966, learned of the spot on his lung in May. Haggard, a former smoker, told The Bakersfield Californian in August that he wasn't going to seek treatment, but friends and family members persuaded him to agree to surgery.
Doctors say they can't speculate on Haggard's chances for a cure without knowing the details of his case.
FORUM: Living with Cancer
BETTER LIFE: Cancer news and studies
But the fact that Haggard had surgery may be an encouraging sign, experts say, because doctors generally only operate on patients who are healthy enough to withstand a difficult procedure like lung surgery. Many patients aren't eligible for surgery because their lungs are too damaged from years of smoking, says David Johnson, director of hematology and oncology at the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center in Nashville, who is not involved in treating Haggard.
"The surgery itself can be difficult, but in the hands of a good thoracic surgeon, a patient can be out of the hospital in a very short time — even a few days," Johnson says. Recovery usually takes several weeks, although recovery time depends on the patient's overall health going into surgery.
The most common type of lung tumor is non-small cell lung cancer. For patients with an early tumor of this kind — one that hasn't spread to other organs — surgery is usually considered the best treatment, Johnson says. Patients often follow surgery with chemotherapy, to kill any lingering cancer cells.
Patients with early lung cancers who are too sick for surgery may still be cured with radiation, with or without additional chemo, Johnson says.
Lung cancer kills more Americans than any of other type of tumor, according to the American Cancer Society. Lung cancer causes 29% of all cancer deaths. More people die of it than colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined.
The society estimates that 215,020 Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and 161,840 will die from it.
The average age at diagnosis is about 71, according to the cancer society.
The earlier a person is diagnosed, the more likely he or she is to survive, according to the society. Overall, only 15% of patients live five years or longer. When cancer is found early, however, half of patients live that long. If cancer has spread around the body by the time of diagnosis, only 3% live five years. More than 400,000 people alive today have been diagnosed with lung cancer at some point in time.

As many of you may have remember anime has been making great progress in its invasion of Giant Bomb. So much so that a Naruto character was able to topple the hamburger object page from the top search result for the letter "h" in the Giant Bomb search engine. So when you typed the letter "h" into the search this is what you were greeted to...hideous I know:
There was much mourning when this happened and a remedy was vowed to organized as soon as possible. I don't know how it happened, but I'm very happy to present the Giant Bomb community with this image:
And there was no anime in sight to challenge the superiority of the hamburger object page. This is indeed an accomplishment Giant Bomb. This of course means that I am going to have to update my alphabet list but that is a small price to pay to restoring the sanctity of hamburgers. Good luck and have Batman Giant Bomb...have as much Batman as you want.

During the last 2 weeks, the appearance of many cornfields has begun to deteriorate, and many plants are now dead. Although we expect plants to be maturing about this time of year, clearly some plants are dying early. Statewide, we reached 50 percent silking by about July 19, which means theoretically, the average corn plant should reach physiological maturity by about September 14. We are well ahead of that pace for a number of reasons, but regardless of the reason, when corn plants don't live for the full season, they don't achieve maximum potential yields. Even though the kernels on prematurely dead plants display a black layer, the lack of kernel plumpness indicates they reached this stage too soon.
Why are plants dying prematurely this year? Every field is a little different, and there is almost always more than one factor involved. Some reasons for premature death that I have seen (in no particular order) include anthracnose top-dieback, stalk rot, nitrogen loss, moisture stress, gray leaf spot, and wind damage.
Anthracnose top-dieback. This is a phase of the anthracnose disease that is less common than the typical stalk rot that occurs at the stalk base. With top-dieback, the plant dies from the top down, with the upper leaves turning yellow or reddish purple, then drying out. When these leaves are removed or fall off, typical black anthracnose lesions can often be seen on the outside of the upper stalk. If the stalk is split, the pith appears rotted in the upper internodes. The fungus (Colletotrichum graminicola) infects through the whorl earlier in the season and remains dormant in the stalks until late in the season, or it infects though leaf sheaths. Late-season stress triggers the development of disease symptoms.
|Anthracnose symptoms may appear at the stalk base or on the upper stalk.
Stalk rot. Some plants are dying because the base of their stalk is rotted by C. graminicola, Gibberella, or Fusarium. The onset of these stalk rots is also stress related. When the stalk base is rotted, the whole plant wilts and dies rather suddenly. To see the symptoms, you may need to split the stalk all the way the base, below the soil line.
|Decay of stalk base caused by Fusarium.
Nitrogen loss. Some plants are showing obvious symptoms of nitrogen deficiency before they die. Wet conditions have resulted in the loss of nitrogen in many fields or parts of fields and plants prematurely die because of a severe nitrogen deficiency.
Moisture stress. In general, corn root development was not good this year because of early season wetness. During grain fill, the plant needs a lot of water, especially during some of the hot periods experienced this summer. Shallow, poorly developed, partially decayed root systems now can't provide enough moisture to keep the plant going. This scenario is particularly noticeable in places where there was standing water earlier in the season.
Gray leaf spot. In some areas of southern Iowa, gray leaf spot has become severe in the last two weeks. Corn plants in some fields have had most of their leaves killed by gray leaf spot. When plants are thoroughly defoliated, they die prematurely; often a stalk rot kicks in and finishes them off.
Wind damage. Plants that were damaged by wind earlier in the season are vulnerable to a number of problems that may show up now. Because of the physical damage to leaves, stalks, and roots, these plants are especially likely to suffer from stalk rot or a moisture-stress-related death.
Obviously there is nothing that can be done now to prevent premature death. It might pay off, however, to have the combine ready to go a little early this year to prevent additional losses from occurring.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- After the program's best week in more than 2½ years, Florida coach Billy Donovan was concerned about a letdown.
He addressed it in practice and talked about it again just before Tuesday night's game against Florida A&M.
It still didn't really sink in -- at least not until halftime.
Dan Werner scored 16 points, Alex Tyus added 15 and No. 13 Florida rebounded from a lackluster first half to beat Florida A&M 80-59.
"Every game we're learning something," guard Ray Shipman said. "We learned something from the games this weekend that we can compete with some of the best teams and we learned from this game today that we're not Superman. You can't just turn it on and turn it off.
"We still can be beaten. We're not the No. 1 team in the nation. We're not a national championship team yet, but we can be. We're just learning every game."
Vernon Macklin finished with 14 points and seven rebounds for the Gators, who improved to 7-0 for the first time since 2005.
Christopher Walker led the Rattlers (0-9) with 19 points and six rebounds. Yannick Crowder, Amin Stevens and Dale Hughes had eight points each for FAMU, which ended a brutal early season stretch that included trips to Atlanta, Omaha, Neb., Cleveland, Palo Alto, Calif., Mexico and Birmingham, Ala.
"Hats off to Florida," FAMU coach Eugene Harris said. "Coach Donovan has them playing very well, playing smart."
Unranked to start the season, Florida jumped into the middle of the Associated Press' poll Monday after beating rival Florida State, upsetting then-No. 2 Michigan State three days later and knocking off Rutgers in the championship game of the Legends Classic in New Jersey.
It was Donovan's most successful week since claiming a second consecutive NCAA championship in Atlanta in April 2007. The Gators have been ranked four times since, but never stayed in the poll very long.
Donovan said he thought his team was mature enough now -- Florida has four upperclassmen -- to handle success better than it did the last two seasons.
The Gators showed a little of that maturity against Florida A&M.
The Rattlers used a 17-4 run late in the first half to turn a 30-16 deficit into a tight game. They forced turnovers, got easy baskets on the break and made 7 of 9 shots over the final 13 minutes. Donovan was so upset with guard Erving Walker that he benched him in favor of a walk-on, a rare occurrence so early in a game.
"I think our guys battled a little bit," Donovan said. "As a coach, you're always battling human nature because in coaching and in competition, that's the greatest conflict. How many teams do you see have a great victory and then come back the next time and they lose?"
Clinging to a 34-33 lead, Werner hit a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Gators a little extra cushion heading into the locker room. He finished 4 of 6 from behind the arc.
The Gators got their act together after the break. They opened the second half with a 23-4 spurt that turned the game into a rout.
Walker finished with 10 points and five assists. Kenny Boynton, out of the starting lineup for the first time this season because of a stomach flu, countered an off shooting night (0 for 7) with nine assists.
The Gators shot 52 percent from the field and made 7 of 20 from 3-point range. They overcame 17 turnovers and had a 41-31 rebounding advantage.
"I thought we came out with the right focus," Donovan said. "I thought we lost our focus, and it's a great opportunity to learn. Here's the same team that beat Rutgers and Michigan State four or five days ago and everyone was talking about rankings.
"I'm not so sure we could have been ranked in the top 300 with the way we played tonight."

Gothenburg, Sweden (SPX) Dec 12, 2012
The ice sheet in West Antarctica is melting faster than expected. New observations published by oceanographers from the University of Gothenburg and the US may improve our ability to predict future changes in ice sheet mass. The study was recently published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
A reduction of the ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland will affect the water levels of the world's oceans.
It is therefore problematic that we currently have insufficient knowledge about the ocean circulation near large glaciers in West Antarctica. This means that researchers cannot predict how water levels will change in the future with any large degree of certainty.
"There is a clear reduction in the ice mass in West Antarctica, especially around the glaciers leading into the Amundsen Sea," says researcher Lars Arneborg from the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Gothenburg.
Together with his research colleagues Anna Wahlin, Goran Bjork and Bengt Liljebladh, he has studied the ocean circulation in the Amundsen Sea.
One reason why West Antarctica is particularly sensitive is that the majority of the ice rests on areas that are below sea level. Warm sea water penetrates beneath the ice, causing increased melting from underneath.
"It is therefore probably a change in the ocean circulation in the Amundsen Sea that has caused this increased melting," continues Arneborg.
Until now, researchers have been referred to studies that use high-resolution computer models.
"But there have been very few oceanographic measurements from the Amundsen Sea to confirm or contradict the results from the computer models. Nor has there been any winter data. Sea ice and icebergs have made it impossible to get there in the winter, and it isn't easy to have instruments in place all year round."
However, since 2010 the researchers from Gothenburg have managed to have instruments positioned in the Amundsen Sea, enabling them to measure the inward flow of warm sea water towards the glaciers.
The observations show that the warm sea water flows towards the glaciers in a more or less constand current all year round, in contrast to the model results which suggested a strong seasonal cycle.
"This shows just how important observations are for investigating whether the models we use describe something that resembles reality. Warm ocean currents have caused much more melting than any model has predicted, both in West Antarctica and around Greenland.
The researchers want more and longer time series of oceanographic observations in order to improve the models and achieve a better understanding.
"Only then will we be able to say something about how the ice masses of the Antarctic and Greenland will change in the future."

Men's game is battle of the ages
By Harry Blauvelt, USA TODAY
The Grim Reaper is lurking at professional tennis stadiums
everywhere. He's waiting to tap some of the greatest men's players on the shoulder
and tell them it's time to call it a career.
His short list of aging stars includes Americans Pete Sampras,
30, Andre Agassi, 31, Michael Chang, 29, and Todd Martin, 31, as well as Australia's
Patrick Rafter, 28, and Croatia's Goran Ivanisevic, 29.
They are remarkably resilient and still have some great
tennis left, so their final exits will take a while longer, several years in
some cases.
But the end of a memorable era clearly is in sight.
A changing of the guard already is in progress, thanks
in large measure to a posse of precocious young guns who delight in taking their
best shots at the grizzled veterans.
The USA's Andy Roddick, 18, and Taylor Dent, 20, Russia's
Marat Safin, 21, Australia's Lleyton Hewitt, 20, Switzerland's Roger Federer,
20, Argentina's Guillermo Coria, 19, and Spain's Juan Carlos Ferrero, 21, are
among the best.
"Fans like to see legends play young guns who have something
to prove," Roddick says. "It makes for dramatic tennis. It's fun to play someone
you idolized."
Add to the mix a magnificent cadre of mid-20s stars, whose
headliners include world No. 1 Gustavo Kuerten, 24, of Brazil and the USA's
Jan-Michael Gambill, 24.
"It's good for tennis to have guys like me and Andy playing
well," Gambill says. "This young-old thing has happened in the past. Everybody
wondered who would replace John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors. New guys step up.
It keeps evolving."
Rafter agrees. And he says the ambitious newcomers aren't
"The young fellows coming through believe they can beat
the older guys," Rafter says. "They have confidence and cockiness. It's creating
new interest and exciting matchups."
'The young guys are coming'
Expect dramatic duels between the old guard and the new
kids on the tennis block when the U.S. Open starts Monday at the U.S. National
Tennis Center in Queens, N.Y.
Safin served notice that the young turks have all the shots
when he beat Sampras 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 in last year's U.S. Open singles final. Hewitt
was a semifinalist.
For Sampras, it was his first straight-set loss in a Grand
Slam final. He had won eight consecutive Slam finals he played in since 1995.
He's won a record 13 overall.
"Andre and Pete are still the stars, but it's great for
tennis the young guys are coming," says Safin, the ATP leader with seven victories
in 2000. "It would be great to have one young guy and one older guy in the finals
again this year. It's more fun."
The contrast between current tennis legends and those charismatic
kids is getting fans excited about men's tennis, which in recent years has lagged
behind the women.
"The young guys are inspiring the older players," U.S.
Davis Cup captain Patrick McEnroe says. "The young guns aren't intimidated.
They're ready to take the older guys out. It's different generations going up
against each other. It's great for tennis."
The youth movement also serves as an incentive for older
players to work harder.
"These guys aren't just young; they're good, too," says
Agassi, winner of seven Grand Slam titles. "That concerns me and motivates me.
It gets tougher every year."
It must be difficult for veterans to accept over-the-hill
tennis status in their early 30s.
Bud Collins, a Boston Globe columnist and NBC commentator,
notes players used to be reaching their prime when they were 31 or 32.
"Conditions now are more wearing," Collins says. "They
play on hardcourts much more. They try to hit every shot as hard as they can.
Incentive gets worn away at an earlier age."
Martin understands. He played only 6 months of last season
because of injuries.
"Over the 11 years I've been out here, a few new groups
have asserted themselves," he says. "Because we're getting close to the end
of our careers, the sudden onset of new players is oppressing, and we feel the
pressure more to stay around."
Martin marvels at the shotmaking ability of the new crop
of players. He says he's seeing things he never thought possible.
He cites as an example changing the direction of the ball,
a difficult task because there is the greatest margin for error in crosscourt.
"A lot of the new guys can take a good crosscourt shot
down the line with ease and a lot of venom," Martin explains. "They're not afraid
to pull the trigger."
They're not afraid to speak their minds, either.
"The younger guys are going to start taking over the game,"
says Mike Bryan, 23. "You'll see less and less of the older players. The new
faces are flashy."
'Old guys' not going quietly
The dichotomy of young vs. old has been the focus of a
marketing promotion featuring a series of ads with an attitude by the Association
of Tennis Professionals.
"New Balls, Please" was the tagline for the first one,
which featured a poster with photos of 12 younger players.
The idea was to introduce rising stars to the public, but
the marketing campaign segued into a point-counterpoint volley.
"Dream On, Boys," responded the old guard, whose photos
adorned advertisements.
The latest installment heralds "The Battle of the Ages."
The subtext: Young "New Balls, Please." Old
"These Balls Still Bounce."
It's a promotion likely to continue until Agassi, Sampras
and company say goodbye.
"When we started, we thought we were worldbeaters," Martin
notes. "Now, we're fighting ourselves."
One thing seems certain: The geriatric set won't go quietly.
A respectful Roddick says it best: "They're not done till
they say they're done."

What to Do With Dead Compact Fluorescents
Posted by Dave Blount at September 7, 2010 4:48 PM
As of 2012, normal light bulbs will be outlawed in the Land of the Free, due to a deal crony capitalists at General Electric worked out with corrupt congresscritters behind a smokescreen of preposterous enviromoonbat posturing. Instead, we will be forced to use flickering, expensive, child-unfriendly, and possibly carcinogenic compact fluorescent bulbs. These contain mercury, and therefore constitute a biohazard.
What to do with the old bulbs, since they're too toxic to throw in the trash? Could they charge you with terrorism if you mail them to your representative in Congress?
Now there's a bright idea.
On a tip from Rosalind.

Yes -- the tag was something that you'd use only in C, but now it is accessible in Scheme, and used to implement pointer functionality. Because it is a Scheme object that is used, you can create pointer tags that are hidden from users, so code becomes safer. Right now, symbol and string values for the tag have an extra functionality -- they are printed as #<pointer:...>, but this might be extended. (For example, one way to implement `sub-structs' would be to use a tag that is a list of strings which identify other structs as the current one.) -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://www.barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!

This pattern was designed exclusively for the Fall 2011 Southeast Men's Knitting Retreat! I decided on a cabled sock pattern very befitting "Men Who Knit." The playful intertwining between the braided plait and classic cables serve as a visual allegory of our tight brotherhood as male knitters—the ties that bind if you will. And let's face it, a dude can never have enough hand knit socks!!!

LONDON – In a recent symposium in the Financial Times on globalization's prospects in 2011, the columnist Gideon Rachman observed that, "When Barack Obama visited India recently, the US President warned his hosts that the debate about globalization has reopened in the West," and that "a backlash…is forming…and growing in advanced economies."
But Rachman's alarmism is misplaced. The fear of globalization in the West is nothing new. Articulate intellectuals and groups such as labor unions and environmental organizations in the advanced economies have voiced anti-globalization fears and sentiments for at least a quarter-century.
The fear of globalization, however, began historically in the East, not the West. After World War II, the West dismantled barriers to trade and investment flows, and worked to eliminate exchange controls and move to currency convertibility. What was sometimes called the liberal international economic order was the order of the day, and it was embraced by public opinion as well.
By contrast, the East generally embraced the fearful view that, as the Chilean sociologist Oswaldo Sunkel put it, integration into the international economy would lead to disintegration of the national economy. Many intellectuals shared this dark anti-globalization vision, and policymakers in much of the East were not far behind.
