At Uppsala University, the traditional study of Indian philology dates back to at least the 18th century. There were two aspects of Indian philology, to which, after a certain prelude, a professorship was devoted in 1892. The core of it was Sanskrit, certainly in the comparative, linguistic and historical perspective, but already the first holders of the chair also found it essential to include the study of Indian cultural history.
Until 1 January 2004 Uppsala University had a separate Department of Asian and African Languages, but it was then integrated into the Department of Linguistics and Philology, and became one of its sections.
The section for Asian and African Languages and Cultures consists of a large number of diverse subjects, including Swahili, Assyriology and Chinese.
Two of the sub-sections are dealing with education and research connected to South Asia, one of them being South Asian Languages and Cultures – with study programmes in Hindi, Indology (including Sanskrit), and Comparative Indo-European Philology , besides arranging short orientation courses in topics such as "Indian Religions, Culture and History"; "Indian Languages and Literature"; "Introduction to Sanskrit"; and "Introduction to Indic Philosophical Traditions" (more information below). In collaboration with other departments at Uppsala University, a Masters Programme for South Asian Studies was organised during the years 2002–04.
The department currently offers a full candidate programme in Hindi and participation in the Orientalistic Programme with specialisation on Hindi. Hindi is tought in the medium of English, exams can be taken in Swedish or English.
Modern indology in Uppsala tries to understand and explain changing patterns of literary reflexivity and identity constructions in the context of colonial and postcolonial knowledge discourses. It actively
contributes to recent efforts to strengthen the interdisciplinary South Asia Forum at Uppsala University, the collaboration with academic partners at several Indian universities, the Swedish South Asian Studies Network (SASNET) and the European Association of South Asian Studies (EASAS).
In 2006, an interdisciplinary seminar group was formed among researchers and PhD candidates at Uppsala University that are involved in South Asia related research. The seminar group includes several people from the Dept. of Linguistics and Philology, but also from other departments, such as History, Cultural Anthropology, and History of Religions. On 8 May 2011, the group organised a Rabindranath Tagore 150th birth anniversary event in Uppsala. More information below.

The sub-section on Iranian Languages also deal with South Asia to some extent, sometimes organising courses in Pashto and Baluchi. See separate page for the Iranian Languages sub-section.
Indology (including Sanskrit)
Web page: http://www.lingfil.uu.se/forskning/indologi/?languageId=1
Several people are engaged in research in the department. An Indology study programme is organised up to D-level. A new 60 credits A-level course starts every Fall, and includes a 15 credits course in Introduction to Sanskrit, 30 credits Sanskrit, 7.5 credits Cultural history of India, and 7.5 credits on Modern History of South Asia. More information.
Besides being part of the study programmes, 5 or 10 credits orientation courses are also offered every semester in topics such as "Indian Religions, Culture and History"; "Indian Languages and Literature"; "Introduction to Sanskrit"; and "Introduction to Indic Philosophical Traditions".
Summer courses are also held every year. For example, in the Summer 2006 a 5 credits course on "Religious expressions in Indian culture" was arranged, a course consisting of seminars, lectures and films, studying religions and culture in India of today, focusing on Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Islam.
The late Professor William Smith (1942-2009), Professor of South Asian Literatures and Cultures in Uppsala 2004-2009 had a research focus on the Ramayana traditions in New Indo-Aryan Languages in Eastern India. His latest research during 2007-2009, however, was mainly concerned with Mahabharata traditions in Bengal and adjacent regions. Unfortunately, his untimely death prevented him from getting the book published himself. A posthumous publication is planned in collaboration with Dr. Mirja Juntunen.
Before he took up the position as Professor of South Asian languages and cultures at Uppsala University in October 2004, he worked at the Section for Indology, Department of Oriental Languages, Stockholm University.
His work was appreciated worldwide. His untimely death was a loss for indological and South Asian studies. Professor Heinz Werner Wessler, currently a guest professor at the Dept. of Linguistics and Philology, Uppsala University, wrote an obituary for SASNET. Read his text.
William Smith was a scholar teaching in Hindi, Bengali and Cultural history since many years. He defended his doctoral dissertation titled "The Myth of Manasa. A Study in the Popular Hinduism of Medieval Bengal" at Stockholm University in 1976. It was later published as a book titled "The One-Eyed Goddess: A Study of the Manasa Mangal" (read a 1982 review of this book by Tarapada Mukherjee in the Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies).
Over the years he has spent long time in India, especially in Kolkata, West Bengal, and over the years he has written lots of learned, but still popular, articles in magazines such as Orientaliska Studier, and Sydasien. His research interests are in the fields of Bengali, Hindi, Sanskrit, and Indian medieval literature and drama.
In the publication series "Stockholm Studies in Indian Languages and Culture" he published two books, "Ramayana Traditions in Eastern India (Assam, Bengal, Orissa"in 1988 and "Patterns in North Indian Hagiography" in 2000. In January 2003 a volume called "Maithili Studies" was published as no 4 in the publication series. The book, edited by William Smith while still being a Professor at Stockholm University, consists of papers presented at the Stockholm Conference on Maithili Language and Literature, arranged at the Dept. of Oriental Languages, Stockholm University, in August 1996.
In a separate publication series William Smith published a "Bengali Reference Grammar" in 1997, as the first in the Stockholm Oriental Textbook Series.
In recent years, Prof. Smith worked on two research projects:
– Tunnel of Love. The Erotic Origins of the Kalika Mangal. A project on the Kalika Mangal or the Vidya Sundar, as it is also known. It is certainly the oddest theme in Bengali mangal literature. Mangal poems are religious epics otherwise based on regional myths which tell the story of how deities such as the Snake Goddess Manasa or the Sun God Dharma spread their cults among mortals.
– The Popular Mahabharatas of Eastern India. The Mahabharata, the great Indian epic, took its present form around the year 400. Composed in Sanskrit, it is said to be the longest poem in world literature. Since Sanskrit could only be comprehended by the educated, new versions of the epic began to appear in the spoken languages of eastern India around a thousand years later. These include the Oriya Mahabharata of Sarala Dasa (1475), the Bengali Mahabharatas of Kashiram Das (17th century) and Kabi Sanjay (early 16th century), and the Assamese Mahabharata of Rama Sarasvati (mid-16th century). Though these works are classified by literary historians as translation literature, they are, in fact, essentially new works which reflect the many changes which had taken place in Indian society since the original epic first appeared. The research for this project was supported by research grants from särskilda fakultetsresursen för forskning vid humanistiska fakuteten vid Stockholms Universitet 1999-2001.
Professor Emerita Gunilla Gren-Eklund (photo to the right) has been involved in a large number of research projects through the years within the fields of Indian Philosophy (especially logics, language philosophy and grammar), the diffusion of Indian cultural traditions in South East Asia, Indo-European, Indic and Burmese language structures, and Indian cultural phenomena in general. She defended her doctoral dissertation titled "A Study of Nominal Sentences in the Oldest Upanisads" in 1978, and was Professor at the department till 2003 when she retired.
Later she has worked on the tradition of Sanskrit poetics and on contact between languages and language families in the Indian subcontinent in ancient times. She has also participated in a research work on Munda languages, within the framework of a project hosted by the Division for Linguistics and Computer Lingustics, and in cooperation with the Central Institute of Indian Languages, CIIL, Mysore, India. The project was called "Digital documentation of Indian minority languages". The research project eventually led up to an extensive web based documentation on Indian languages, and a web site has been constructed.
For more than 10 years Gunilla Gren Eklund has edited the magazine Orientalia Suecana. It is an International journal of Indological, Iranian, Semitic and Turkic Studies, published from Uppsala since 1952. The journal is published with aid of grants from the Swedish Research Council. More information on Orientalia Suecana.

Besides Gunilla Gren-Eklund was actively involved in the creation of the Nordic Centre in India. In August 2001 she was for example given a SASNET planning grant for a project on "Planning of meetings and courses for students at the Nordic Centre in New Delhi".
A comprehensive report on Studying Indian Languages was also prepared by Gunilla Gren Eklund and Stig Toft Madsen, Lecturer, International Development Studies at Roskilde University, Denmark, based on experiences from two journeys to USA and India in 2001 (the latter financed by the planning grant). The report is available as a pdf-file. This work has been instrumental in setting up the Nordic Centre in India, and arranging summer courses in Hyderabad from 2003 and onwards.
Between 1999 and 2006, Prof. Gren Eklund collaborated in a research project run by the Department of Oriental Languages at Stockholm University (but with shared responsibility by several universities in Sweden). As part of a major comparative research project on "Literature and Literary History in Global Contexts" Gren Eklund was a member of the Working group 1, focusing on "Notions of Literature Across Cultures". The project was funded by the Swedish Research Council. In late 2006, the project finally materialised in a set of four volumes being published by Walter de Gruyter in Berlin & New York. In Volume No. 1, Gunilla Gren Eklund has written an article titled "Traditional Indian learning – text, language and poetics". More information.
In June 2008, a volume with Prof. Gren-Eklund's selected papers and lectures was published as a festschrift in celebration of her 70th birthday. The book was edited by Dr. Anna-Pya Sjödin, and distributed through Uppsala University's publication series Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis: South Asian Studies volume 2. It contains the most important papers and articles that Prof. Gren-Eklund has written, but also three hitherto unpublished lectures. The content varies from Indian language tradition in Burma, via Indian hermeneutics and Sanskrit poetics, to articles concerned with Indian philosophy and religion.
The volume was launched at a half-day seminar at Uppsala University, organised on 2 June 2008. Prof. Eivind Kahrs from Cambridge University held a lecture in honour of Prof. Gren-Eklund. His presentation was titled "Why Sanskrit? Some reflections on the notion of karma".
• PhD Candidate Peter Larsson (photo to the right) is working on a dissertation project called "Using Cultural Heritage in a Political Discourse", where he studies the dravidian nationalistic organisations in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. These organisations use their cultural heritage (especially the Tamil language) in their struggle for preserving Tamil as the official language in the state, against their opponents, i e the Congress Party. He also studies how "the other side" responds to this by propagating the "Indian" cultural heritage. Peter Larsson's research material mainly consists of newspapers, pamphlets, speeches and books, and the period of the study is the time of the violent language campaigns around 1965.
Being a student of Sanskrit and modern Tamil Peter Larsson was unofficially responsible and the only teacher in the Tamil courses (on A and B level) at the department between 2002 and the autumn of 2004. The Tamil language courses are however now "resting" because of lack of students and no lecturer or Professor with sufficient competence available.
Peter Larsson has also given several lectures in the department's summer courses and courses in Indian Cultural History. He participated (without paper) in the World Sanskrit Conference in Torino in 2000 and in Helsinki 2003. He was also teaching Tamil in the courses previously organised by the department up to D-level. Currently no such courses are given. More information about the Tamil courses.
• Anna-Pya Sjödin (photo to the left) defended her doctoral dissertation titled "The Happening of Tradition. Vallabha on Anumana in Nyayalilavati" on Saturday 12 January 2007. The research project deals with the philosophical development of the Nyaya/Navya-nyaya school of Hinduism. It includes a translation and analysis of the Anumana section of Vallabha's Nyayalilavati, a medieval Sanskrit text on deduction. It is a study in philology as well as in history of ideas, using hermeneutic theories of interpretation. Anna-Pya Sjödin's research interest also includes the formation of Indian post-colonial theories. Prof. Em. Gunilla Gren-Eklund has been her supervisor.
At the dissertation, the faculty opponent was Professor Purushottama Bilimoria, Deakin University, Melbourne, Australien.
Anna-Pya Sjödin also teaches Philosophy at the School of Culture and Communication at Södertörn University College in Huddinge, courses on Buddhism, Materialism and Hinduism.
On 22 October 2007, the Swedish Research Council decided to give SEK 3.3 million as a three-year grant to Anna-Pya Sjödin,for a post-doc project titled "The little girl who knew her brother would be coming home: cognition and knowledge in Nyaya-Vaisesika" during the period 2008–10. More information about the Research Council grants within the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences 2007.
In 2006, Anna-Pya Sjödin published an article entitled "The happening of tradition: Vallabha on anumana in Nyayalilavati" in South Asian Studies 1 (Uppsala: ACTA), and in 2009 she has contributed with an article titled "Postcolonial Understandings of Indian Epistemes: Towards a Diversity of Interpretational Stances in Indology" in a volume entitled Postcolonial Challenges to the Study of Religions, edited by W. Pfändnter & D. Thurfjell.
• PhD candidate Jonas Tiljander is working on his dissertation project "Studies of the purvaranga ceremony in Natyasastra". The project is however currently dormant.
• PhD candidate Urban Lindqvist is working on a project in Comparative Indo-European Philology. The title of his dissertation project is "Traditional formulaic language and metrics in Rigveda". The project is however currently dormant.
Earlier South Asia related research at the department
In 1982, Dr. Ruth Walldén defended her doctoral dissertation titled "Studies in Dravidian phonology and vocabulary". The dissertation was published in the series Studia Indoeuropaea Upsaliensia. Dr. Walldén first came to India/Tamil Nadu in the 1950s, where she worked at the Swedish Mission Hospital in Tiruputtur. After returning to Sweden she taught Tamil at Uppsala University for many years. Ruth Walldén passed away in November 2008 at an age of 91 years.

The department has an agreement with Karlstad University to offer 10 credits courses in Hindi Language studies for Swedish students participating in Karlstad University's India Programme in Varanasi, India. This programme runs every year in the Fall semester, and the students study Hindi simultaneously with studies in History of Religion or Cultural Geography. It started in 2006 when a group of eight students from Karlstad enjoyed these lessons, held in an outdoor courtyard in Varanasi, and attained 10 extra university credits. The basic Hindi studies were of great benefit in everyday situations on the streets, in the bazaar and during field work studies. More information about Karlstad University's India Programme.
Comparative Indo-European Philology
Web page: http://www.uu.se/en/node698?aKod=JIA&lasar=11%2F12
Contact person: Associate professor Christiane Schaefer
A study programme is organised with courses, which are carried out up to D-level. A new 20 credits A-level course started in the Fall 2007 (A B-level course is run during the Spring 2008, more information).
Christiane Schaefer is working as a research assistant in Comparative Indo-European Philology. Besides teaching she is working on a research project regarding the Vedic Sanskrit language.

His specialisation is in Vedic and classical Sanskrit, syntactic and morphological typology, historical linguistics and diachronic typology and the Maldives (language, history, culture). More information on his personal web page.
Masters Programme for South Asian Studies
The Section for Asian and African Languages and Cultures was a driving force in creating the interdisciplinary South Asian studies masters programme at Uppsala University. Already in the Fall 2001 Professsor Gunilla Gren-Eklund (who retired in 2003) was involved with setting up of a 80 credits South Asian Studies course with a multidisciplinary approach, as a co-operation project between the departments of the Domain of Humanities and Social Sciences at Uppsala University.
In the Fall 2002 this course was developed into a full 60 credits Masters Programme, and from the Fall 2003 a further developed multidisciplinary Masters programme in South Asian Studies was run at the university. The Degree of Master of South Asian Studies (Magisterexamen i sydasienkunskap) offered students an interdisciplinary framework for the study of peoples and nations in the South Asian continent. The programme brought together scholars from the humanities, social sciences and language faculties to give a broad introduction to the region's multifaceted societies and histories and an opportunity to focus closely on one specific area of study. The aim was to provide integrated, interdisciplinary analyses of South Asian social and political processes and the ability to communicate in one of the regional languages.
Since 2008, the department runs a new three-year 180 ECTS B.A. programme in Oriental Studies (Orientalistikprogrammet), focusing on the Middle East, North Africa, Central and South Asia. Half the time is devoted to language studies, and the rest to studies of political, religious, economic, and literary conditions in obth the past and present. The programme is divided into four branches, where the language to study is Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and Hindi respectively.
During the second year, one semester should be spent at a language institute in the region of studies, and during the third year, special courses in language and literature, political science, and economics will be given. More information about the programme.
Christiane Schaefer is in charge of the Oriental Studies Programme with Hindi studies.
South Asia Seminar (SAS)
SAS is a interdisciplinary seminar group that was formed in 2006 among researchers and PhD candidates that are engaged in South Asia related research at Uppsala University. Several of the group members have belonged to the South Asian Languages and Cultures – among them Peter Larsson, Mirja Juntunen, Anna-Pya Sjödin and Gunilla Gren-Eklund.
The convenor of the group has been Dr. Willy Pfändtner, Ethics and Philosophy of Religion, Faculty of Theology; and other members are Gunnel Cederlöf, Leos Müller and Maria Ågren from the Dept. of History; Beppe Karlsson from the Dept. of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology; Anju Saxena from Linguistics and Computer Lingustics; Kajsa Ahlstrand from Church and Mission Studies, Faculty of Theology; and Eva Hellman from History of Religions, Faculty of Theology.
Seminar series are held every semester. In the Fall 2006, a series included a lecture on 18 October by Prof. Andreas Nehring, Dept. of Theology of Christian Mission and Religious Studies at University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, about "The Roaring of the Tiger: Western Encounters with Hindu Spirituality – Dialogue or Exploitation". Dr. Rajsekhar Basu from the Department of History, University of Calcutta, lectured on 16 November about "Reinterpreting Dalit Movements in India"; and Dr. Stuart Blackburn from the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, lectured on 18 December about "Folklore and Oral Traditions in India: the Case of Tibeto-Burman Oral Traditions in Arunachal Pradesh".
During the Fall 2007, Prof. Robert Eric Frykenberg from University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA, and Prof. Mahesh Rangarajan, Delhi University, India, lectured. Read the full programme (as a pdf-file).
The Spring 2008 series starts with a lecture with Dr. Thomas Blom Hansen, University of Amsterdam. He talked about "The India that Does Not Shine: India's Muslims and new economies of fear", on Monday 17 March 2008. Prof. Blom Hansen is an internationally acclaimed scholar with major work on religious and political violence in urban India. His main theoretical interests relate the anthropology of politics, the postcolonial state and sovereignty. More recently he has done research on religious revival and the everyday meanings of freedom and belonging in post-apartheid South Africa. His publications include "The Saffron Wave. Democracy and Hindu nationalism in Modern India" (Princeton 1999); "Wages of Violence. Naming and identity in postcolonial Bombay" (Princeton 2001), and two co-edited volumes with Finn Stepputat, "States of Imagination. Ethnographic Explorations of the Postcolonial State" (Duke 2001) and "Sovereign Bodies. Citizens, Migrants and States in the postcolonial world" (Princeton 2005).
Dr. Mirja Juntunen lectured on "Language Activism among the Kurmi Community in Jharkhand, West-Bengal and Orissa", on Tuesday 1 April 2008. During the recent years the Kurmi community in West-Bengal, Jharkhand and Orissa has intensified their activities for (re)constructing a tribal identity in order to strengthen their economic, political, social and legal status in the society. The main instrument, and argument, in this attempt is the Kurmali language, which according to the Kurmis, is a Dravidian language. However, Kurmali seems to be one of those Indo-Aryan languages which involves Dravidian, Munda and Tibeto-Burman substrata. The ultimate aim of the language activities seems to be that of establishing a status of indigenous people and to be included in the list of 'scheduled tribes'. The lecture was part of a seminar series organised by the Forum for Advanced Studies in Arts, Languages and Theology (SALT) at Uppsala University in collaboration with the South Asia Seminar.
Programme for the South Asia Seminar in the English Park Campus, autumn 2008
Tuesday 16 September 2008, 10-12, room 16-0043
"Litteratur och globalisering. Ett sätt att tolka skönlitteratur" (Literature and Globalisation. One way of interpreting Fiction)
with Prof. Margareta Petersson, Dept. of Comparative Literature, Växjö University. About the relation between theory and practice, based on her book "Globaliseringens ansikten: Den indo-engelska romanen", published in 2008.
The book deals with Indian authors writing in English, a tradition since 150 years. The problems regarding authentic or hybrid status of cultures, and the importance of one's own cultural concepts for the way you interpret lierary works. The book focuses on texts by Raja Rao, Anita Desai, Salman Rushdie, M.G. Vassanji, Amitav Ghosh and Arundhati Roy.
Friday 26 September 2008, 10:15–12:00, room 1-1042
Heike Moser, Universität Tübingen, Seminar für Indologie, taledk about "The concept of 'invented tradition' and Kutiyattam, the traditional Sanskrit-theatre of South India – a case study". Kuttiyattam is the only surviving traditional Sanskrit theatre on the whole of the Indian subcontinent. Down to the 1950's it was exclusively performed in prosperous temples in Kerala as a kind of ritual theatre. Only Brahmins and nobles were allowed to watch a performance. Nowadays pupils from other castes, even foreigners, are allowed to learn and perform Kuttiyattam. Being a foreigner and becoming a Kuttiyattam actress made Heike Moser not only a part of the tradition but also a symbol of transcultural flow in a globalised world. Since the late 1990s this flow is mirrored again and again: Experimental theatre groups in Asia as well as in the West work with performing techniques of Kuttiyattam, traditional actors, actresses and musicians include new ideas and patterns in their performances. This development and its reception illustrate perfectly the problems of the concept of "invented tradition" and related terms.
Thursday 2 October 2008, 13:15–15:00, room 1-1060
Dr. Gunnel Cederlöf, Dept. of History, Uppsala University, talked about "Landscapes and the Law: the social process of making law". It is a lecture and seminar at the crossroads of environmental, colonial, and legal history, based on her recently published book "Landscapes and the Law" (Permanent Black). She will examine the role of law in consolidating early colonial rule in South India from the perspective of people's access to nature in forests and hill tracts. The seminar was organised in collaboration with the Historical Seminar.

Heinz Werner Wessler, Anju Saxena, Gunnel Cederlöf and Christiane Schaefer with Lars Eklund from SASNET. |
The following day, on Monday 9 May 2011, a meeting was organised by researchers involved in Uppsala University's Seminar for South Asian Studies, with Lars Eklund from SASNET.
Heinz Werner Wessler, Christiane Schaefer, and Anju Saxena, all from the Dept. of Linguistics and Philology, and Gunnel Cederlöf from the Dept. of History, presented among other things their current plans to form a more formalised Forum for South Asian Studies at the university. They also informed about discussions being held with the Embassy of India and ICCR to establish an ICCR professorship at Uppsala University along the same lines that Lund University has since 2010.
Lars Eklund stressed SASNET's continued commitment to support such South Asia oriented intiatives at all Swedish universities, in spite of the fact that SASNET since 2010 is only funded by Lund University. Collaborative efforts in the field of establishing masters programmes in South Asian Studies is one specific field where SASNET could play a key role.

The Nutcracker Suite was not necessarily Tchaikovsky's favorite composition but it has remains a popular seasonal piece which is very evocative of a certain kind of Christmas celebration. We applied one orchestration to the whole piece based on steel drums but augmented on this occasion with harp, vibes and a synthesized Angel vox and recorded in MP3 format. By contrast Steel drums and Vibes have been used to bring added sparkle to the Carnival which completes our Tchaikovsky MP3 collection.
These pieces have been sympathetically remixed on new world percussion instruments and synthesizers to crisp and sparkling effect in ways that bring out the dynamic qualities of this music:

Why not compare these Tchaikovsky MP3 arrangements with some by Chopin, Debussy, Dvorak, Liszt, Offenbach, and Saint Saens - the impact of this approach on music of particular composers throws new light on the rhythmic and harmonic qualities of their compositions.

After watching some videos and listening to some interviews of David Icke, i'm reminded that both David and Jay have a lot of positive ideas to offer humanity. There's one crucial piece of information that i must reiterate: the control of the value of money by banks .. Many years ago, middle-class Americans could live off one-spouse income comfortably. Now we're told gas may go to $6 a gallon. It's insane. The manipulation of money-value is criminal. We must determine a viable solution to the problem and very soon or perish the way of the dinosaur .. Other than that, David proclaims 'new things' we've known about since childhood: media manipulation, perception polarization,.. and advocates methods that are frankly dishonorable. i was ashamed to watch an 'interview' with a Bohemian Grove participant: it was rude, deliberately humiliating, and pretended to 'win' while all it did was show how dishonorable the interviewer was. i agree that many things in this world need to be 'brought to light' but continual harassment and chanting lists of 'crimes of the state' into a telephone (an activist was filmed doing this with a 'National Security hotline') are not the best ways .. Those methods only diminish and embarrass the cause .. My mother was harassed by a fundamentalist Christian (she's Catholic-Christian herself) in the hospital - attempting to coerce her to accept/proclaim Christ as her personal savior (which she's already done but had to declare again to the visitor - just to prove to them she was Christian by their definition). This kind of harassment, to me, is patently wrong.
Some might see these essays as equivalent but they're passive. i don't go busting into hospital rooms trying to force people to agree with me. i don't accost people on the street or in an auditorium - trying to force them to accept my world-view. You choose to read or not to read. So even though both David and Jay have some interesting and valid points to make to the public, their tactics and methods, to me, are little better than the 'mind control' they're so against.
Watching the videos, i was reminded that the 'American dream' was to own your own home, car, and have a basically comfortable life. No politician or media manipulator 'sold' us that dream; it originated in the masses. Our desire to get it quick made us dependent on credit/debt and so we enslaved ourselves to debt by wanting it faster than we could earn. As stated above, the money-value manipulation is Criminal, but we, the American middle-class, only have ourselves to blame for our enslavement to banks and therefore only we, ourselves, can dig us out of this mess.
So modern life is a complex mess we've created for ourselves while at the same time - power-mongering elite families try to manipulate that mess for their own gain .. We must be wary of them and their manipulations, yes. But we must also 'take a pill with the pill' to be aware of our own 'voices of dissent' - what they have to gain by going against the status quo. Let's have a modicum of respectability and composure when we attack the establishment - otherwise we look like a bunch of 'frothing at the mouth' raving lunatics..
.. If the Bohemian Grove represents the elite yet the only way to get a video is to trespass on private grounds, i question that. i ask "how much money does Jay and David make on each DVD sold?" and i question the value of harassing public employees, deliberately trying to embarrass or humiliate them, just to get 'answers to questions'. We need the Truth but we can't beat it out of a dead monkey which is effectively what they're trying to do when they attempt these tactics.
.. We've known about the Truth since the 60s when all hell broke loose in America with race riots in my hometown, the sexual revolution, Hippies, grass, the feminist movement,.. These waves of awareness cannot be quelled, quieted, or erased from our collective consciousness. But at the same time, you cannot force a dead monkey to speak (he had trouble speaking when alive). We cannot force a transformation on human society until society is Ready. Beating the dead monkey will not make it ready. We must wake Him up from his slumber with Love.

Burton Center to open Governor's STEM Academy for 2012-2013 school year
The Virginia Board of Education this week approved proposals from Chesapeake, Fairfax County and Roanoke County to establish Governor's STEM Academies offering rigorous academic and career and technical education programs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (subjects known collectively as "STEM").
The approval of the three new Governor's STEM Academies — along with approval last month of an academy in Virginia Beach — brings the number of approved programs to 14, just two shy of Governor Robert F. McDonnell's goal of doubling the number of STEM academies by the end of his term in January 2014. The newly approved academies are as follows:
• Chesapeake — Grassfield High School Governor's STEM Academy, opening in 2012-2013, will prepare students for career pathways in engineering, technology, programming, software development and marketing.
• Fairfax County — New Commonwealth Governor's STEM Academy at Chantilly High School and Chantilly Academy, opening in 2013-2014, will prepare students for career pathways in engineering, technology and network systems.
• Roanoke County — Governor's STEM Academy at the Burton Center for Arts and Technology, opening in 2012-2013, will prepare students for career pathways in engineering, technology, broadcasting, and facility and mobile equipment maintenance.
"With proposals before the board in June and July to establish STEM academies in New Kent County and Richmond County, I am confident we will achieve Governor McDonnell's goal well ahead of schedule," Board of Education President David M. Foster said. "And in doing so, we will expand opportunities for students in these important disciplines."
There were eight Governor's STEM Academies when McDonnell was inaugurated in January 2010.
At its April 26, 2012, meeting, the Board of Education approved Virginia Beach's request to establish the Governor's STEM Academy for Engineering, Marketing, and Information Technology Studies at Landstown High School. The academy, opening in 2012-2013, will offer programs in engineering, technology, digital communications and sales and marketing.
Governor's STEM Academies are designed to expand options for students to acquire literacy in science, technology, engineering and mathematics while earning industry credentials required for high-demand, high-wage and high-skill careers. Each academy represents a partnership among school divisions, postsecondary institutions and business and industry.

Pasfield Tours & Links
Capitol Complex Walking Tour
The Pasfield House is developing a program to introduce tourists to the capitol complex, its architecture, with a brief history of how the Illinois capital was relocated to Springfield.Leone will entertain by discussing the town's early settlers such as the elder George Pasfield and Elijah Iles who were among the 50 businessmen who pledged to pay for a construction bond if the legislature voted to relocate the State Capitol Building to Springfield. Guests will also hear of the significant efforts of Dr. George Pasfield and George Pasfield Jr. to ensure that Springfield remain the Illinois Capitol.
Pasfield House owner Tony Leone is developing a companion film that features historical preservationist expert Anthony Rubano who annually each July high-lights the architectural detail of the Illinois State Capitol and surrounding buildings in the Capitol Campus. Rubano' performs his pied piper tours are each summer on behalf of Downtown Springfield Inc.
Beginning next summer Leone also hopes to promote a Capitol Campus Walking Tour over the tourist season from Sunday through Thursday by college students with architectural or history majors. On Sunday evenings, with so many downtown restaurants closed, the Pasfield House hopes to offer its hot dog cart and beverages for snacks.Leone encourages those interested in touring the capital campus architectural exterior tour to visit both the Old State Capitol and current State Capitol for an interiors tour in the daytime, saying; "Our state capitol buildings best define the city, those visiting Mr. Lincoln's home town should to told, how through him and local backers we became the Illinois' State Capital".


text: The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers (Father of the Bride) made this sweet satire about a high-powered yuppie executive (Diane Keaton) who unexpectedly becomes a mom and finds she can't successfully integrate the role into her busy life. Typical of the Shyer-Meyers films prior to Myers taking the director's reins on the wonderful Parent Trap, Baby Boom is a little wooden and more sentimental than genuine. But there are entertaining moments, for sure, and Keaton is a delight. --Tom Keogh

How could Dikembe Mutombo refuse his good friend and former college teammate Alonzo Mourning when he stood up among his peers to bare his soul in the interests of others? Mutombo handed him a check for $50,000 here Friday afternoon. Fortunate as Mutombo may be, it couldn't have been easy with his own charity clock ticking.
On Mourning's 31st birthday, at the All-Star break of a season that's been stolen by fate, he announced a campaign to benefit the fight against glomerulosclerosis, the degenerative kidney disease he has. Mourning's short-term goal, he said, is to raise $2 million, a figure he and his wife, Tracy, will match.
''I cried when he got up to give his talk at the meeting and I went to give him a hug,'' Mutombo said. ''I'm so proud. I was not looking for him to be starting something like this so soon.''
Like many others, Mutombo believed the man who was once his Georgetown University frontline companion was a maturing, emerging presence in the National Basketball Association after the early years of his career, when his personal reputation, fair or not, was more akin to his on-court inelegance.

By JESSICA PAINE
A weird thing happened to me this time last year. Despite the fact that I don't have children, still fail to own shares in a costume shop and loathe all horror movies, I realised I was a little in love with Halloween. Actually, more like a lot.
This was a controversial discovery considering I have a father who views the word "American" as one of the worst kinds of put-downs (specially reserved for loud conversations, creative spelling choices and every time a movie has a happy, closed, completely unambiguous ending). And that's the way I've been raised as well – to abhor the cultural colonisation of Australia by the United States. Despite that, because I'm of the Generation Y persuasion, I'm also 30 percent Global Citizen, 30 percent Cultural Cringer and 40 percent life lessons gained from American television.
But even that, the fact that I'm at constant risk of yelling "Call 9-1-1" in an emergency, am capable of "pleading the 5th", a thing that I clearly don't have the right to, and can name more American Presidents than Australian ones (because Australia has Presidents, right?) has nothing to do with my affection for October 31.
Here's the thing. I'm a childless, single, urban-dwelling member of what I'm constantly assured is one of the most narcissistic demographic groups to have walked the earth. As a result of this I've never met a community that didn't come with its own Facebook group. But while my social network may be vast, my knowledge of my neighbours is non-existent.
While I have friends and housemates, the reality is I live on a street of strangers. But every time a kid comes around to collect candy on Halloween I feel slightly less like the woman who's obituary will read "Spinster Eaten By Cat Companions" (this is assuming I become a cat person, and insist on calling my cats 'companions').
We assume the kids in Jessica's street are not dressed like this…. (Text continued after the gallery)
Kid Lil'Wayne
On Halloween I feel like I might be part of an actual community. Like one day I could even learn the names of the people in my block (and stop calling them things like 'Bin Lady' and 'Sour Face'), perhaps ask them round for a barbeque, or apologetically borrow some flour.
Why can't I do these things now?
Is it because I get nervous about introducing myself? Do I have a truly paralysing inability to retain people's names? Am I concerned about invading their personal space? Could it all just be a bit too much of an effort?
The answer is all of the above, plus the rather sad fact that it's just kind of creepy to show too much interest these days. If CSI (my father, somewhere: So American) has taught us anything, it's to fear everyone.
I'm always tempted to join in the street-wide water fight amongst all the kids outside, or pull over in the rain and offer someone a lift from the station, or roll down a window and enthusiastically cheer a cyclist slowly summiting an impossibly steep hill. But I never do, because on the other side of that equation is a whole bunch of people that would freak the hell out about the creepy woman trying to ingratiate herself with their children, lure them into a car, or hurl abuse at random people.
So many holidays are about family, it's nice to have one that's about getting to meet everyone else. If nothing else, I think it's good to teach kids that not all strangers will attack them, and that the world can even be a generous, candy-filled place of conversation.
All you have to do is knock on the door.

How you you feel about Halloween? Do you trick? Do you treat? And if you did, what would you dress as?

Which True Blood Character Is Going Gay?
8:01AM Richard Lawson | There will be a sexual switch-up on True Blood this season, and now we're eager to find out who. Also today: Russell Crowe is moving to a different planet for a while, a deserving actress gets a big role, and the Oscars will never be the same again. More »
Your 2011 Pulitzer Prize Winners Are Here
5:25AM Hamilton Nolan | Your 2011 Pulitzer Prize winners have been announced! If you're "keeping score:" two for the New York Times, and two for the Los Angeles Times. The Wall Street Journal had to make do with one for editorial writing, and the Washington Post had to settle for a photography Pulitzer. Plenty of long-winded bragging and wounded sniping starts now!

An Oscars Problem: Anne Hathaway Is Not Funny
6:29AM Richard Lawson | Everyone was befuddled when the news dropped that instead of some familiar old-ish white man or Whoopi Goldberg, this year's Oscar hosts would be Anne Hathaway and James Franco. Well, the James Franco bit just seemed like yet another weird event in his performance art career of being weird, so sure, OK. But the Hathaway angle remained confusing. Now we see why! After the initial "Her?" reaction died down, a little promo clip was released that was actually sorta funny! Funny at least in the Anne Hathaway getting tackled to the ground style of funny. So maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Weird, but not awful. Hathaway has proven she can sing, so maybe she'll just be the prettily trilling straight woman to Franco's elasti-faced whatever. Fine. We can deal with that. But now. Oh but now. Now this newer, longer promo clip has been released and Anne Hathaway is not playing the straight woman. No. She is doing jokes! Anne Hathaway-style jokes! And they are very bad. And her delivery is very bad. She is the nerdy girl with the makeover who thinks she's cool all of a sudden. She is Mia Thermopolis in Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement. I mean, that jokey dancing thing? I'm pretty sure the last time that was funny, I was drinking Busch Light from a can and "Let's Get Retarded" was blasting on Laurence the theatre senior's speakers. Which is to say some seven years ago. Also, fake outtakes? Lah-haaaame. Just the lamest. I've now swung back to where I originally started. This is going to be a disaster. Not, mind you, that the Oscars are ever that funny, but Jon Stewart and Ellen DeGeneres and even Martin-Baldwin did pretty good work. And no, I am not mildly intrigued by this curious Grease redo thing that Franco posted on his Twitter. I'm not. Apparently they're doing that number on the show on Sunday. Disaster. Disaster, I say!

Sibling rivalries abound on track for decathlon, heptathlon
The 57th decathlon for boys is the oldest high school decathlon in the country. For the girls in the heptathlon it will be the 37th state championship.
The unusual wrinkle this weekend is that six sets of twins will be participating.
Not only are there six sets of twins, but they come from just three different schools.
All told, Paling said that 167 athletes will be participating, representing 27 schools on the girls' side and 26 on the boys'.
Athletes to watch on the decathlon side include Stevens of Claremont's Ramario Bailey, who finished seventh last year, and Nashua North's Bill Goulding.
On the heptathlon side, the Athanasopoulos twins are solid contenders after finishing second (Jenna) and third (Michaela) as juniors last year.
There will be no repeat winners as decathlon champion Chris Bohi of Merrimack Valley of Penacook and heptathlon champion Hillary Holmes of Exeter were both seniors last year.

Reblogged from CBS Dallas / Fort Worth:
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - JC Penney took a different approach to Black Friday than other major retailers like Target, Wal-Mart and Toys 'R' Us, which opened Thanksgiving evening. But store doors opened at 6 a.m. Friday morning, the customers were waiting.
